1. Xuanwu Death Squad

The snow is flying in the south of Liyang City, and the people in the Dutou of Liyang have not returned.

The restaurant by the river is suitable for boarding, and the owner and the girl can sew clothes.

The old friend lies in Liyang County and never meets each other for three years.

When the rain and snow in the city were slanting, people from Hedong County envied each other from afar.

Only the ancient hills in Yedu were seen, and the Zhang River still flowed like the past.

I don’t see you in the city, but I’m lazy to climb the tower when I come to the morning.

The morale of the Bianzhou Army City was even more sluggish and depressed. Every night, soldiers were sitting in hanging baskets and came to surrender to the official army from the city wall.

The number of fang soldiers in the city was originally 6,000, and the most stubborn one was the Gonggu Mansion. The two thousand "langxia soldiers" in Yacheng (all the surrendered were ordinary fang soldiers). They knew that Dong Jin and Gao Yue would never let him go, and they would definitely eradicate the force they belong to, so they were willing to support Han Hong and fight to the end.

So Han Hong contracted the main defense line to the solid Yacheng on the east side, because he understood the principle that "you must fight in field to defend the big city, and you can retreat by defending the small city". With just two or three thousand subordinates, you cannot defend all the walls of the military city. It will inevitably give the official army an opportunity to seize it. You might as well defend Yacheng firmly and wait for reinforcements (or Wei Bo) in the direction of Ziqing.

The official army calmly began to build fortifications in an orderly manner along all sides of Bianzhou City.

Hun Yu and Gao Yue met at Qilidian on the north side of the Bianzhou Army City (it was exactly seven miles away from Bianzhou City, so it was named). Hun Yu hurriedly wanted to give up his position as the governor of Gao Yue, but Gao Yue refused to accept it and said that he was the commander of the Wuyi Army. As the mobile military force of the court, who came to support the General of the Assistant Kingdom, Yue was only a counselor and assistant, and he would never dare to take the power of the General.

"National affairs are preferred. If the court has more orders, let the virtuous be allowed at any time." Hun Yu sat in the position of the governor and stepped up the deployment of the siege.

Hun Yu ordered: Yicheng's army camped at Caomen (the Later Five Dynasties, Yingchunmen of the Northern Song Dynasty) on the east of Bianzhou City to block reinforcements from Ziqing;

Zhongwu, Longxiang, and Zhenyi three Shence Army were responsible for the siege on the south side of Chenliu in the south of Bianzhou City;

Wuyi's army camped in the west of Bianzhou City. Gao Yue ordered the three thousand diggers to accompany the army to quickly expand the waterway between Pipagou and Tongji Canal, so that the thousand-hu boats from Huaiyang, Jiangxi and Jingnan could reach the water gate of Bianzhou in Xili;

Hun Yu was in charge of the Fenghua Army, the Jingsai Army and the Shenwei Palace rear army, camped at the Xuanzao Gate (later Xuanhua Gate) in the north of Bianzhou City, responsible for the siege on the north side.

In addition, Hunya also issued instructions on the peripheral front:

The Heyang army in Huaizhou crossed the river and attacked Weizhou and Xiangzhou, the hubs between the north and south corridors of Heshuo, Dong, Taihang Mountain, to restrain the possible Wei Bo reinforcements;

Wang Qianxiu, the governor of Zhaoyi Army, and Li Shuo, the governor of Hedong (the governor of Jiedu Li Ziliang had died) combined 20,000 elite troops to leave Taihang Fukou Road and rush to assist Xiahou Zhongxuan's Mingzhou City;

Zhang Jianfeng, the governor of Xu Siwu Ning Army, immediately advanced northward and attacked Jinxiang and Yutai, the key military points south of Ziqing, while Wang Wujun, the governor of Chengde Army, wanted to go south, leave Dezhou and Dizhou Road, and attack Qi, Zi, Qing and other places on the north side of Li Shigu, so that they could not take care of each other and could not reinforce Han Hong.

After the deployment was completed, Gao Yue took the lead in agreeing that when the generals of the other army saw that the Grand Tutor was like this, they did not dare to have any dissent.

"The general, the artillery, barracks and fortifications are well built, and the attack on the city will be twice the result with half the effort. The key to the fortifications is on the drawings. I recommend two people to set the drawings for the army." After saying that, Gao Yue led two young people to come.

"Fu Zhi, Yuan Liang!" Hun Yu was overjoyed.

It turned out that these two young men were Li Su, the son of the former Grand Marshal Li Sheng, with the character Fu Zhi; the other was Fu Lin, the son of Fu Lingqi, with the character Yuan Liang.

After Li Feng was subdued by his father, his brother Li Xian went to Shenwei Army to teach, and he came to serve in the Wuyi Army again. Fu Lin, his father Fu Lingqi, was originally a general of Xue Song, who had been guarding the prime minister's land for a long time. Later, the prime minister was annexed by Wei Bo Tian family, and Fu Lingqi became the representative of the "prime guard system" in Wei Bo. The court attacked Wei Bo Tian Yue, and Fu Lingqi was in charge of the support, but was discovered by Tian Yue. Except for Fu Lin escaped, the whole family was killed. Therefore, Fu Lin and Wei Bo had a deep feud. He also went to Xingyuan Wudao Academy to study military strategies, and came to study after studying and also came to join the Wuyi Army.

"I wish to be loyal to the Grand Master and General, avenge my father and kill all the rebels Tian!" After saying that, Fu Lin rolled up his sleeves and saw the scars on it.

This scar was caused by Fu Lingqi's arm bend before he was killed. "Son, Fu only has your fire, and you must not forget the hatred. When the official army sank Heshuo, don't forget to tell your father when you worship at home.

"Okay, I have ambition, but revenge must start with drawings." Hun Yu encouraged and warned young people.

Li Ju and Fu Lin divided the work and cooperated quickly. Soon, the official army followed the drawings they drew, along the moats surrounding the Bianzhou Military City, and drove cattle and horses to drag copper-cast cannons into their respective positions. The muzzles were silently aimed at the towering battlements of Bianzhou City, as well as the 1000 cannons and Qiuniang rocket launchers, which were all densely covered.

The progress of the Wuyi Army's diggers was like flying. The Xuanwu Ya soldiers on the battlements were shocked to see it. The width of the Pipa Valley to Tongjiqu River expanded to one mile in just three days. Countless large ships carried food, fodder, ammunition, stone, and wood, and sailed directly into the Wuyi Army's fortress position. "It's over, how can you win? Just because of Han Hong's character, even if Tian Ji'an and Li Shigu are not against each other."

Han Hong chose to choose to die, "kill out of the secret door, destroy two artillery towers in the official army, nail the artillery gates, and shave the morale of the official army."

But after the order is conveyed, the soldiers push me and I push you, none of them dare to sign up voluntarily.

Han Hong was furious and killed several people with his sword to inspire morale. So the frightened and scared soldier finally selected fifty veterans, most of whom were born in the Tianbao period. At dawn, he rushed out of the secret door, crossed the wall of sheep and horses, held a bamboo basket with thunder above his head and hand, swam across the moat, and touched the gray-black cannon lying across the gray-black cannon.

As a result, before they could climb along the step-like cannon base, they touched the dark bell: the sound of whistles and horns came out, and the veterans soon fell into the crossfire range of the two cannon bases (one shot in front and the other shot from behind). The gunmen of the Wuyi army lay down on the wooden fence and earthen walls, and set off fire guns from a high place. The flames of the projectiles intersected like rain lines, knocking down the Xuanwu veterans one by one, and the bodies rolled and kept falling from the cannon bases. The sky-shaking thunder carried by some veterans were shattered and exploded, and soon burned them into firemen. They howled and rolled into the trenches where the cannon bases were watered. After rushing out the thick smoke, they stopped moving.

"Bang bang bang", when the remaining veterans ran back, a burst of cannon balls of tiger cannons swept them densely, most of them fell down, with less than five people left, jumped into the deep moat and fled back to Bianzhou City.

Two days later, the official army moved a running arm of the 10,000 cannons and threw a large wax ball into the city. There was an ultimatum silk book hidden inside, warning Han Hong: "The official army is a benevolent and righteous army. When using cannons to attack the city tomorrow, it will not attack the dense Xili. If you want to surrender, you can surrender. Those who do not want to surrender can retreat to the East City to wait for death. It is strictly forbidden for you to burn houses and harm the people when retreating. If there is a complaint, you will slaughter all of you when the Yacheng is broken, and no one will be left!"

That night, the Bianzhou military city was as quiet as death.
