Although the casualties caused were not large, the suppression of the arrows prevented the Jizhou Army from showing their heads at all, which gave the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army under the city enough time to climb the long ladder.
Chapter 364 Nine Marquis City Breakdown
null
Chapter 365
If the two armies face a decisive battle, it is estimated that the Zhenbei Army will lose even fewer people.
The siege battle itself tests the endurance, tenacity, and morale of the soldiers on the siege side.
Conventional siege warfare, as the defender, is condescending and occupies the ground, while the attacker uses the lives of soldiers to fill it.
Only when soldiers climbed to the top of the city and stood still, could the city be breached.
And the gate of the city, if you want to break open, it is not much easier than climbing to the top of the city.
Unless it is a small city with dilapidated gates and insufficient number of soldiers guarding the city, it is possible to break through the gate.
The battlefield was cleaned up, and the bodies of the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army who died in battle were burned, and the ashes were put into a small altar.
Finally, the undamaged arrows on the top of the city were put away, and Gao Shun Tianfeng led the army and continued to move towards Yecheng.
As for the soldiers of the Jizhou Army who surrendered, Gao Shun tied them up and ordered [-] soldiers to stay in Jiuhou City to guard the surrendered Jizhou Army.
Before it was dark, Gao Shun Tianfeng had already led the army to the west gate of Yecheng.
This time, of course, they would not attack directly, but stationed their army ten miles away from the west gate of Ye City, waiting for the other three armies.
……
In Yecheng State Shepherd's Mansion, Han Fu and his subordinates, Wen and Wu, were discussing something sadly.
At this moment, a messenger soldier suddenly ran in scrambling and reported to Han Fuhui with a panicked expression.
"Report... lord! Jiuhou City has been breached by the Zhenbei Army! General Li Li died in battle, and none of the [-] troops escaped back! Now the Zhenbei Army has stationed ten miles outside the west gate of Ye City!"
Han Fu, who was sitting in the first place, stood up in shock when he heard the words, his eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly.
"This... [-] defenders only lasted for two days... Could it be that I, Han Fu, really did something wrong?"
After Han Fu said that, with a look of regret on his face, he sat back in his seat a little bit slumped, and then stretched out his hand to cover his forehead, with a painful expression.
"Ugh……"
Geng Wu, who is Jizhou Biejia, sighed, then stood up and said to Han Fu.
"My lord, my subordinates told me at that time, don't make unnecessary resistance. The soldiers in Bingzhou can't be resisted by half of Jizhou! If you want to resist Liu Yu, you have to take over the whole of Jizhou and develop In a few years, we need to unite with Youzhou!"
Seeing that Han Fu seemed to have aged several years in an instant, Geng Wu did not choose to shut up, but continued to persuade him.
"My lord, for now, the only way to save my lord's life is by surrendering all the way! If not, I'm afraid Yecheng will be flooded with blood!"
After hearing this, Han Fu felt weak all over his body and his limbs were sore and limp. It's not that he never thought of surrendering, but Han Fu still had a little fantasy in his heart.
He imagined that Wang Kuang from Hanoi and Liu Yu from Youzhou would come to support him and resist Liu Yu's prestige together.
Although he, Han Fu, is timid and fearful, but Han loses his deer and the whole world pursues him!
He, Han Fu, owns more than half of Jizhou, which is no different from the whole of Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and even Xuzhou.
However, Liu Yu's deterrence in the north was too great. Not only was he next to Bingzhou, but he couldn't even recruit soldiers.
It was hard to form an alliance, but his two allies, one has been completely defeated, and the other is already on the way to be defeated. It can be said that one is more miserable than the other.
At this time, his dream of being a prince has been shattered. If Liu Yu sends someone to surrender him at this time, Han Fu probably will directly agree to surrender.
But Liu Yu didn't send anyone here, maybe because he thought it was unnecessary!
Such a strong attack all the way directly pacified the entire Jizhou, and all the voices of opposition disappeared. Liu Yu shocked the entire Jizhou with his invincible soldiers.
Did Liu Yu feel that he, Han Fu, was not worthy of even sending someone to surrender?
Therefore, Han Fu took a deep breath in his heart. Regardless of the objections of his subordinates and military officers, he dispatched all the soldiers and horses of the entire Jizhou to Yecheng, and prepared to defend Yecheng to the death.
Even if it fails in the end, Liu Yu should regret not sending important ministers to surrender him.
But now, when Liu Yu really sent an army to Jizhou, and attacked Yecheng with such force, Han Fu regretted it again!
Just when Han Fu was frowning and secretly regretting, the man led by his generals stood up and said to Han Fu with a firm face.
"My lord! Don't worry! It's really impossible for the three armies to attack Yecheng. We can still escape from the south gate and go to Hanoi. We will join forces with Wang Kuang, the prefect, and beat Yuan Shu's army back! Then we will share equally with the Wang prefect Hanoi!"
Han Fu's eyes lit up when he heard the words, Cheng Huan was right!Now the West, North, and East are all suppressed by the Northern Army, but the South has not been besieged!
Now he still has an army of [-] in his hands. If he enters Hanoi, is he still afraid of Yuan Shu's army?
If you unite with him, Wang Kuang, even if you fight against Yuan Shu, you don't have to be afraid!It's better than facing Liu Yu directly, right?
"Hahaha...General Cheng Huan said..."
"Report..."
Suddenly, another burst of shouting came into the State Shepherd's Mansion, causing Han Fu and all the civil and military officials to tremble, and at the same time, an ominous premonition rose in their hearts.
Looking at the panic-stricken soldiers, Han Fu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and tried his best to suppress the tension and uneasiness in his heart before Han Fu asked.
"And... what happened again? Quick... tell me quickly..."
Although Han Fu had tried his best to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, his tone was still trembling.
After the ordering soldier got the order, he secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then gritted his teeth and opened his mouth to report.
"My lord, outside the south gate of Ye City, I was blocked by tens of thousands of cavalry. Judging by the armor on the cavalry and the flags of the leading generals, it is undoubtedly the Zhenbei Army!"
When Han Fu heard this, he stared blankly at the messenger cavalry without any words or movements, as if he had lost his soul.
After a long time, Han Fu laughed at himself and waved the ordering soldiers back.
"My lord really thinks highly of me, Han Fu! There is still a large army coming from Hanoi. It is estimated that Wang Kuang and Yuan Shu's army have already been dealt with by the Beibei Army!"
After Han Fu finished speaking, he sighed, and then said with a sigh.
"As expected of the invincible Suppressing North Army! It's terrifying to be able to break through Hanoi and defeat Yuan Shu so quickly!"
Although Han Fu was puzzled, how did the Beibei Army enter Hanoi?But these things are no longer important to him.
Now, he, Han Fu, has nowhere to go to heaven, no way to go to earth, so he just wants to keep the city of Ye.
However, facing the siege of the four armies, the hope of keeping Yecheng was very slim.
"Report..."
At this moment, another messenger soldier ran in in a panic and reported to Han Fu.
"My lord, the north gate and east gate of Ye City have discovered traces of the Zhenbei Army one after another..."
Han Fu: ...
Jizhou Wenwu:...
Chapter 366
"call……"
Han Fu stood up slowly. After many blows, Han Fu's heart was at peace, and there was nothing worse than these few news.
"Let's go! How about I go to the top of the city to see the demeanor of the mighty and invincible Zhenbei Army?"
After Han Fu finished speaking, he took the lead and walked out of the hall, and all the civil and military personnel from Jizhou also stood up one after another and followed behind Han Fu.
By the time Han Fu and the others arrived at the north gate of Yecheng, the sky had already darkened.
The position and number of Zhenbei Army can only be determined by the dots of fire in the distance.
"Oh! It's a pity! It's a pity! I can only see the demeanor of the Zhenbei Army tomorrow!"
Cheng Huan, who was standing beside Han Fu, stared intently at the camp of the Beibei Army in the distance. With the light of the fire, he guessed that the number of the Beibei Army would definitely not exceed [-].
"My lord! Judging by the number of enemy torches, they must not exceed [-], and they must have been exhausted from marching all the way. It is better for the last general to lead an army of [-]. After midnight, sneak attack on the camp of the Zhenbei Army. If successful, our army Then we can use the North City Gate as a breakthrough point, go north to Youzhou, and go to Gongsun Zan!"
Han Fu frowned when he heard the words, his face was cloudy and uncertain, obviously he was struggling in his heart.
Going to Gongsun Zan, presumably Gongsun Zan would not refuse to join him, but he will be under others in the future.
This made Han Fu, who was used to making decisions on his own, very uncomfortable.
When Cheng Huan saw this, he felt anxious, his master was really timid and fearful, if he knew this earlier, why didn't he just surrender at the beginning?
Or was he afraid of going to Youzhou and being inferior to Gongsun Zan?Now that the city is about to fall, does his lord still have time to think about this issue? !
If this opportunity is missed, until tomorrow, when the Zhenbei Army reacts, they will have no chance again, and they will still be inferior by then?Be a prisoner!
Although the enemy army is only [-], they are cavalry, and they are famous all over the world, the Zhenbei cavalry who wiped out the entire grassland!
Although the number is only [-], but in the wild, all the [-] soldiers and horses of his Yecheng attack may not be able to stop others' charge.
"My lord! Please make a decision as soon as possible! If you miss this opportunity, tomorrow we will have no choice but to surrender! My lord will be escorted back to Bingzhou like a prisoner!"
Han Fu was shocked when he heard this. He had been an official all his life and was used to enjoying the glory and wealth. If he was really treated as a prisoner, then he might as well just die.
So Han Fu gritted his teeth and became cruel, and decided to send Cheng Huan to lead an army of [-] to try it out!
"Okay! If that's the case, then I will send you [-] troops to sneak attack the Zhenbei Army camp before night! I hope General Cheng Huan will be careful. If nothing can be done, he must return to Ye City in time!"
Seeing that his master agreed, Cheng Huan assured Han Fu with a firm face.
"Don't worry, my lord, Huan will be cautious. Even if the enemy is on guard, if we return, the exhausted Zhenbei army will not be able to stop us!"
Cheng Huan's firm words and the confidence on his face eased Han Fu's nervousness a lot.
Arching his hands at Han Fu, Cheng Huan turned around, strode down the tower, and went to the barracks to prepare.
"Ugh……"
After Cheng Huan left, Jizhou shook his head first, then sighed.
Seeing this, Han Fu couldn't help frowning, and asked with some displeasure.
"What do you want to say? Why shake your head and sigh?! Still keep silent? Why don't you say it?!"
Han Fu asked four questions in a row, and his tone revealed a hint of displeasure, obviously because Han Fu was angry.
Seeing this, Geng Wu was a little helpless, and answered Han Fu, clasping his hands.
"My lord! I realized that the number of the enemy army is insufficient, and the enemy army is marching in a hurry, and the morale of the army is exhausted. I just happened to sneak attack at night!"
Seeing his lord with a gloomy face, staring at him intently, Geng Wu spoke again without fear.
"But, my lord, have you ever thought about it? Wouldn't the military division of the Zhenbei Army not think of it? If the Zhenbei Army sets up an ambush, then General Cheng Huan will be in danger?! Moreover, the Zhenbei Army has a full 20!"
What Geng Wu said changed Han Fu's face drastically, and then he looked at Geng Wu with a gloomy look and said angrily.
"Why didn't you say it just now, and you said it after the official gave the order, did you deliberately want to see the official joke?!"
Hearing this, Geng Wu smiled wryly, without a trace of fear on his face, and replied to Han Fu.
"My lord, how could Geng Wu be like this? My lord is still unwilling to surrender. I just want to fight for a chance to escape the prison of Jizhou! And tonight is indeed the only chance. What Wu said just now is just a guess."
Hearing this, Han Fu stared at Geng Wu for a long time, then turned his head and looked at the flames in the Zhenbei Army camp in the distance.
His calm heart just now was lost by what Geng Wu said. If it is true what Geng Wu said, then he can wash his neck clean and die.
He didn't surrender right away, but he thought there was a way out for Hanoi County, but he didn't think about it, and now the way out has been completely blocked by the Zhenbei Army.
The plan will continue to be implemented, so Han Fu decided to take a gamble!If he wins the bet, he will fly away, and if he loses the bet, he will give his head to Liu Yu.
He has been timid all his life, why can't he be bold once? !Moreover, I am already old, and I have enjoyed most of my life, even if I die, I will not lose money!
……
It was past halfway through the night, and the north gate of Ye City was completely silent, even the dense forest in the distance was silent.
Even the birds that have been searching for food all day are nestling in their nests, enjoying the tranquility of the night.
Suddenly, the north gate of Ye City opened slowly. Although it opened very slowly and only made a faint sound, it still woke up the sleeping bird.
And in the dense forest, there are several pairs of eyes, staring at the slowly opened city gate.
Borrowing the faint moonlight, he tried to see the owners of those eyes clearly, but he saw a flash of black shadow and disappeared into the dense forest.
It disappeared in a blink of an eye, just like a ghost in the dark night, which makes people think and fear.
