Chapter 173 Wei Xu, accept your order!(1/2)
After all, Liu Bei's decision was slower. When he found Mi Zhu again, he realized that Mi Zhu had already promised his younger sister to Pan Feng in Jizhou!
When he learned the news, Liu Bei's cunning changed his face. After barely responding to Mi Zhu for a few words, Liu Bei returned to his residence.
He must find another backup for himself!
......
At this moment, Pan Feng, who was surrounded outside Taiyuan City, didn't know that the whim of his own had really changed Liu Bei's journey as he wished. Of course, even if he knew about Pan Feng, he would not react much. After all, Liu Bei was nothing to Pan Feng at this moment. Only after getting Zhuge Liang might he still take a look at Pan Feng.
Speaking of Zhuge Liang, Pan Feng was a little worried again.
He had sent people to the Zhuge clan of Langya, but just like the development trajectory of history, Zhuge Liang had already gone south to Jingxiang at this moment. Pan Feng wanted to send people to find him, but he was out of reach.
In the end, he could only send a few people to various places in Jingxiang to find out about Zhuge's family. If he could convince Zhuge Liang to come to Jizhou, it would be the best. If he couldn't, he would wait for an opportunity to assassinate him. Zhuge Liang, a scholar, should be inferior to those sent by Pan Feng. If he could kill Zhuge Liang, he would almost have a potential enemy, Liu Bei, in his infancy.
But these are just secondary. What Pan Feng is most concerned about now is the solid Taiyuan City.
It has been half a month since the stalemate in Taiyuan. Pan Feng did not launch another attack except when he made the Huihui cannon once, but the bombing and production of Huihui cannons have not stopped for a moment.
At present, Pan Feng has two solutions. One is to use Huihui cannons to continuously consume the enemy's morale and wait for an opportunity to attack again. The other is to "fill" the road behind Taiyuan City!
The so-called filling means bombing with stones without listening, so that the Western Liang army cannot come forward to clean up. In this way, the entire military road will be blocked by huge rocks over time. At that time, the Jizhou army will launch another strong attack, and the Western Liang army's troops will not be able to climb the city wall as soon as possible!
Once the Jizhou army is allowed to take the lead on the city wall, it will not be so easy for the Xiliang army to take it back!
At this time, five days have passed since the Huihui cannons were bombed day and night. During this period, two Huihui cannons were unable to bear the load and lost their offensive ability. In contrast, five Huihui cannons were newly created.
In order to increase the output of firepower, Pan Feng arranged some soldiers with carpenter background to the Huihui cannon production army. In addition, a large number of soldiers drove carriages to the nearby foot of the mountain to collect stones. Anyone who could be thrown out of the Huihui cannon would be brought back. Not only that, the stones that fell outside the city wall due to unstable range were also picked up by people sent by Pan Feng.
Compared with the dangers taken by the Western Liang army behind the city wall, the Jizhou army was obviously smaller, so no one was injured or killed on the way to pick up all the boulders.
The bombardment continued, and the whistling sounds of huge rocks crossing the sky continued. Wei Xu and Qin Yilu in the city had long lost their previous confidence.
In their perception of the two of them, the city defense should be the one with the advantage in the city offensive and defensive battle, but the fact that in front of them is that Pan Feng can launch an attack outside the city with a swagger, while they can only hide far from the city wall and watch the huge rocks fall behind the wall.
It has been five days since the bombing, and there are more and more boulders behind the city walls, making it increasingly difficult to clean up.
At the beginning, Wei Xu could send some brave soldiers to clean up, but when more and more soldiers were smashed into meat paste by huge rocks falling from the sky, the remaining people gradually became scared.
None of the Xiliang army was afraid of being connected on the battlefield, but the cleaning work that took huge risks and didn't know if they would die in the next moment made them feel a little unbearable.
Even if those huge rocks of hundreds of pounds do not fall on their bodies, they will be enough to scare the soldiers next to them to death. If this happens two or three times, even if they are not crazy, they will be scared to get sick.
Therefore, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army are becoming increasingly reluctant to clear the boulders, and some are more extreme than beheading than to bear this pressure.
At this time, Wei Xu was also worried.
From afar, Wei Xu couldn't help but sigh again as he watched the huge rocks keep falling from outside the wall.
"If this continues, our army's morale will definitely collapse. At that time, the Jizhou army will be unable to resist the attack on the city." Wei Xu couldn't help but say to Qin Yilu on the side.
Qin Yilu has been thinking about this issue these days, but compared to Wei Xu's cluelessness, he already has a relatively feasible solution.
"General, our soldiers are so timid. We might as well use others to clean up these huge stones." Qin Yilu said.
Wei Xu was stunned: "Who else can clear..."
Speaking of this, Wei Xu's expression changed: "Did you refer to the people in the city?"
Qin Yilu nodded: "It is the people who are of no use to our army in defending the city. Many of them are even opposed to our army. Why not take this opportunity to take advantage of them to take advantage of the opportunity to shoot them up, even if they die, they will not damage our army's combat effectiveness."
Wei Xu glanced at Qin Yilu deeply, and he found that this guy who was promoted by Lu Bu was surprisingly vicious.
Wei Xu had actually thought about asking the people to go up to clean up stones, but unlike Qin Yilu, Wei Xu fought with Lu Bu in his early years to protect the people of the Han Dynasty. Lu Bu became a "rebel" among the people in the world, but Wei Xu and others still instinctively protected the people.
Now that Pan Feng is leading his army to attack, Wei Xu has always taken protecting the people in the city as his mission, so when he thought about letting the people clear the huge rocks, he quickly rejected them.
But Qin Yilu proposed it again now, and judging from the current situation, this method is undoubtedly the best choice.
Wei Xu was very confused. The stones behind the city wall were already piled up very high. If they were not cleaned up, they might not have the ability to clean them up. What's even more terrible is that the pile of giant stones actively affected the speed of soldiers rushing up the city wall. There was even a staircase blocked by the huge rocks that rolled over. If they were not cleaned up, they would not be able to get up to the city wall at all!
"Is there any other way besides the people? This Taiyuan City was handed over to us by the general, and the people among them are the objects of our comfort. If they are sent, the efforts our army has made over the past few days will be put into practice." Wei Xu's rough face was filled with this ray of unbearableness.
Qin Yilu bent down slightly to prevent Wei Xu from seeing his disdainful eyes, and at the same time advised again: "General, if the city gate is broken, the general should be even more angry. And then the people must have become the people of Jizhou at that time, so what does it have to do with us?"
Wei Xu was shocked.
Yes, what's the point if you can't defend the city?
Thinking of this, Wei Xu's expression became firm.
"Send the order and catch some young and strong people to come and carry the huge rocks. If anyone dares to refuse, the whole family will be killed!"
"No!" Qin Yilu retreated with a faint smile.
......
Pan Feng himself did not expect that Wei Xu would use the people to clear the huge rocks in a crazy way. If he knew about it, he would not have let the soldiers throw the huge rocks again.
Unfortunately, Pan Feng didn't know what happened in the city, and the Hui Hui cannons that were side by side outside the city were still roaring constantly.
Two days later, Pan Feng received an expected news.
The army led by Liu Dai, Liu Yu and Liu He were defeated head-on by Gongsun Zan in Youzhou. Liu Dai died directly, and Liu Yu and Liu He were captured on the spot by Gongsun Zan. As for Yan Liang and Zhao Yun, they suffered little losses because they received Pan Feng's order and waited in the rear. Now the two have already brought the defeated army on their way back.
As soon as the news reached Pan Feng, he knew that Liu Yu had exhausted his energy.
In fact, Pan Feng had long seen Liu Yu's demise. He was able to persuade him because of Liu Dai's hope. Now Liu Dai himself has died at the hands of Gongsun Zan. Looking at the entire Han Dynasty, Liu Yu no longer has any other helpers. As for Han Fu, the 10,000 troops sent out this time are already considered to be helping.
In this desperate situation, Liu Yu, a person who had long been determined to die, probably would not survive in Gongsun Zan like a plaything. As for whether Gongsun Zan would conceal Liu Yu's death, it depends on himself.
What happened in Youzhou was basically within Pan Feng's expectations. How could Liu Dai, a person who even killed himself in the fight against the Yellow Turban, be Gongsun Zan's opponent? Pan Feng's move was to use Gongsun Zan's hands to clear the biggest obstacle for Han Fu to enter Youzhou and Yanzhou.
Now the most important thing for Pan Feng is to capture Taiyuan City, and then lead the army back to Jizhou to find a way to take Youzhou and Yanzhou into your pocket!
Thinking of this, Pan Feng no longer hesitated.
"Send the order, tomorrow morning, the army will attack the city!"
Even if the casualties are greater, Taiyuan must be taken down in the near future!
The next day, the Jizhou army drove to Taiyuan City in a mighty manner. When Yuntijing Lan was pressing up, the Huihui cannon was finally pushed back.
When Pan Feng ordered the siege, the shaking shouts of killing suddenly rang out.
At this moment, there are still many huge rocks in the city. Although the Xiliang Army used bloody means to drive away some young and strong people to clean up, the young and strong people looked passive and lazy after all. The progress of cleaning up the rocks is not much faster than the throwing speed of Huihui cannons. In addition, occasionally some stacked rocks rolled down and injured people, so the overall cleaning speed was slower.
When Pan Feng ordered the siege of the city, he caught the Xiliang army off guard, and the stones in the city were piled very high. Although the soldiers of the Xiliang army soon discovered the movement outside the city, it was difficult to advance in large quantities. Finally, when the Jizhou army was climbing the city wall with a ladder, the large troops of the Xiliang army rushed up in a hurry.
Both sides climbed the city wall almost at the same time, and they were in close contact on the uncleared city wall. In this case, once either side gained the advantage, they could gain the initiative in this battle, so the soldiers on both sides entered a fierce bloody battle as soon as they came up.
"Kill! Drag the enemy down the city wall!" The generals of the Xiliang Army roared and led the way. It was difficult for the soldiers of the Jizhou Army to gain an advantage in the hands of these generals. In addition, the Xiliang Army was constantly pressing forward, so the Jizhou Army that climbed the city wall was gradually suppressed.
At this time, Pan Feng, who was watching the game below, couldn't sit still.
He didn't expect that the Jizhou army could climb the city wall with just a charge. At this moment, seeing that the good situation was gradually being eaten up, he was willing to watch the battle on the spot.
"Zicheng, Gong Yao, Jing Sheng, and others will fight with me, and be sure to take down the city wall!"
"No!" Everyone responded.
Pan Feng said as he jumped off the Red Rabbit Horse, and rushed up with the Fang Tian Huaji. This was the best opportunity for the Jizhou Army to enter Taiyuan. We must take this opportunity to take down the city wall in one go!
Behind him, Qu Yi, Gao Lan, Xu Rong and others dismounted and became siege soldiers, following Pan Feng one by one to fight hard.
"Soldiers! Follow Pan Jiang's army to kill!"
"kill!"
The soldiers in Jizhou were in full bloom.
The main general Pan Feng and generals such as Qu Yi took the lead in charge. How dare these little soldiers cherish their lives? Besides, with Pan Feng and so many generals taking the lead, isn’t it as easy to take a city wall to take advantage of the city?
Under the leadership of Pan Feng and others, the morale of the siege soldiers reached its peak instantly, and the soldiers who were about to be pressed down on the city walls resisted the pressure of the Xiliang Army.
Pan Feng carried the Fang Tian Hua Ji to the bottom of the cloud ladder. At this moment, the effect of being as light as a swallow was perfectly reflected on him. Pan Feng stepped on his left and right feet alternately, and rushed to the top of the city in just a few steps.
In an instant, Pan Feng rushed up the city wall with a majestic figure and crossed the precarious soldiers of Jizhou. Then the Fang Tian Painted Salmon, which had been hidden in his hands for a long time, swept out like a tsunami.
"die!"
Pan Feng had a ferocious face, and the veins on the arm that grabbed Fang Tian Huaji slammed out. The sharp blade crossed the body of the Xiliang Army in front of him at an extremely fast speed, and then entered the next person's body in an instant.
"Puff puff puff!"
"ah!"
The dense sound of the blade entering the flesh and screams sounded almost at the same time. The long Fangtian painting halberd turned into the judge's brush at this moment. As long as it was scratched, it would be seriously injured if it was not dead.
Just a large number of Xiliang Army, which had been sweeping forward before, was killed.
Seeing this, the surrounding soldiers of Jizhou were cheering, and then they bravely fought toward the enemy in front of them.
"Pan Feng in Jizhou is here, that person who is not afraid of death can come up!"
Pan Feng swept open an area with a halberd, and the bloody Fang Tian Hua Ji was stammering heavily on the ground.
With the blessing of "Sound like thunder", Pan Feng's roar spread throughout the entire city wall. The soldiers of Jizhou who could not see Pan Feng's appearance as killing the enemy suddenly became excited when they heard this sound.
This is their Jizhou General! This is the invincible General Pan Feng in the world!
"Pan Jiang's army has come up. Brothers, don't let the general take a joke! Kill!" A squad leader who led the army to attack the city roared and rushed towards the enemy in front of him.
"Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy!" The surrounding Jizhou troops responded one after another, and for a moment, the entire city wall was filled with the Jizhou troops' high roars and brave figures of the enemy.
To be continued...
