Chapter 182 Internal worries, external urgency

City Palace Yanei Courtyard.

For seven months, Gongsun Zan has had very little time to deal with government affairs, so that the government office, which should be crowded with people, seemed extremely cold, and only the faint sound of singing and dancing brought a little vitality to the cold courtyard.

Because of the massacre of the aristocratic family, Gongsun Zan has suffered dozens of assassinations in open and secret ways, so that the small government office was covered with guards with three steps, ten steps and one whistle, and Wen Ju and Guan Qi were one of them.

The two of them have been with Gongsun Zan for six years and can be considered veterans in the Youzhou army. It is precisely because of this that they were sent by Gongsun Zan to protect the safety of the government office. The two of them were also very respectful to Gongsun Zan when they were kept in peace, so they were all cheered up when protecting his safety.

However, these two soldiers who were once loyal to Gongsun Zan have also been a little shaken recently.

The source of all this was that Gongsun Zan brought human jerky to their mouths.

As a guard, they must have known a little about jerky meat. They originally thought that such a thing would be far away from them, but when Shangguan delivered the wrapped jerky meat to their hands, the two were a little depressed.

It is not difficult to see from this point that the food in Gongsun Zan's hands has indeed reached the point where the lamps and oil are exhausted, otherwise the closest guards would not have eaten such things.

They did not resist eating human jerky. After all, they had seen too many ugly human nature when fighting outside the border. For those vicious small tribes of alien race, eating human flesh may not be very difficult to talk about.

The two of them had seen the dried human bodies in some small tribes, but in the end, the tribesmen were buried in the fire together with the people they posted.

Wen Ju sighed: "The lord has reached such a state, but he is still enjoying comfortably. I really don't know where the future we will go."

Guan Qi's expression was also dim: "The lord is as kind as a mountain to us, even if we... we can't abandon him, but it's hard to say about the newly recruited soldiers."

Yes, these old soldiers were loyal to Gongsun Zan and would not betray them, but the new recruits had been less than a year under Gongsun Zan's command, and some of them had not even experienced decent battles. In this case, the new recruits would naturally not be much stronger in their ownership of Gongsun Zan and the Youzhou Army.

If this was nothing, but now it was almost too poor to lose the blame. Some of them were not allowed to secretly betray Gongsun Zan in order to please the Jizhou army outside the city and also secretly betray Gongsun Zan for their own future. How could Gongsun Zan, who was addicted to pleasure, notice these dangers?

"That's right? Those new recruits have never seen the world. I heard that when the jerky was released, several people were scared to death on the spot and shouted not to eat jerky. If the Jun hadn't killed them on the spot on the grounds of disrupting the morale of the army, it would probably be possible that a hole would be pierced on the first day of the jerky," Wen Ju said.

I closed my eyes and thought about the scenes I saw in the camp recently, and nodded with deep conscience.

"Even if the people later were not so panicked, the private discussion about the lord never stopped. And in my opinion, the complaints about the lord in the army are increasing, which is not good news for the lord."

"I hope the lord will wake up sooner and be able to control the situation with the current situation. If there is any delay... I'm afraid..." He closed his words and stopped, and continued the sentence on the side.

"I'm afraid this Peking is the last place for the lord, right?" Wen Ju asked.

Guan Qi nodded: "It's true."

Just when both of them felt that Gongsun Zan had to make changes at stake, a cold snorted from behind.

Wen Ju and Guan Qi's face changed when they heard the voice. Instead of looking back, they turned around and saluted directly in the direction where the sound came.

"I've seen the lord!"

At some point, Gongsun Zan's gloomy face had appeared behind the two of them, which made the two who realized the problem tight and did not dare to vent.

"I hope I die in Peiping so much, right?" Gongsun Zan's sinister voice came, making Wen Ju and his closed face pale.

"Lord, we don't have this intention. We are just discussing to let the lord be careful to prevent the Jizhou army and those soldiers with unstable morale. Please ask the lord to observe clearly!" Wenju hurriedly expressed his loyalty, and Guan Qi was on the side explained repeatedly.

However, Gongsun Zan, who was furious, would not listen to a soldier's explanation? When he heard the sentence "Beiping is the last place for the lord", the fear that had been covered by drunkenness and dreams for seven months was once again induced. This time it was more thorough and difficult to suppress than before, because Gongsun Zan is really at the end of his journey.

Ignoring Wen Ju and the begging for mercy by locking up the two of them, Gongsun Zan asked the other soldiers to take the two of them down with a cold face.

Just as he was about to go to the dancer to vent his anger, he suddenly heard an urgent report.

"Report! Lord, the Jizhou army has captured the city!"

Gongsun Zan felt a bang in his mind, his mind was blank, and only one sentence could not be dispersed in his heart for a long time - the Jizhou army sieges the city!

......

On the walls of Beiping City.

When the soldiers guarding the city discovered that the Jizhou army was driving in, most of them didn't care about the grudges in their hearts and chewed the jerky meat distributed on the spot.

Survival is the most basic instinct of a person. Seeing that the war is imminent, any physical strength can be exchanged for a glimmer of hope. Naturally, these soldiers guarding the city will not be so pretentious anymore, and a small number of people have not suppressed the discomfort in their hearts and hesitated with the jerky in their hands.

Under this circumstance, the Jizhou army finally advanced to the city of Beiping.

Pan Feng originally led his army of 60,000, and later added Han Fu's 20,000 reinforcements. Now he has a total of 80,000 troops. Except for 10,000 of them Qilin Camp and 1,000 Xuanwu Camp, everyone will become the siege soldiers in his hands.

Of course, in Pan Feng's eyes, the elite Jizhou army could not be wasted in such a place, so the main force of the siege naturally fell on the soldiers who had been stationed in the army.

Because Pan Feng felt that he had miscalculated Gongsun Zan's food and grass, the siege seemed to be huge in scale, but in fact it was just a feint attack to explore the truth and reality. Therefore, the soldiers concentrated on this side had only more than 20,000 people.

In addition to the west where Pan Feng is located, Gao Lan and Qu Yi are also commanding feint attacks on the east and north, which allows the Jizhou army to see more clearly the situation of the Youzhou army.

The dull drum sounded, and the rhythmic knocks gradually merged with the soldiers' heartbeats, making the soldiers present burst into full spirit.

In front of the formation, Han Fu seized the rare opportunity to let the air travel and came to Pan Feng in his armor that had not moved for a long time.

"Zihe, if this siege makes Gongsun Zan's troops unable to reduce their combat power, what will you do next?" Han Fu asked at the more and more figures on the city wall.

Pan Feng also discovered the soldiers gathering in the city. It was obvious that Gongsun Zan had never relaxed his vigilance. It took so long to summon so many soldiers.

But so what? Anyway, this time it is just a feint attack to detect the virtual and the real. Once you find that these soldiers of Gongsun Zan are showing fatigue, the feint attack will likely turn into a strong attack. Everything depends on the performance of the Youzhou Army.

As for the situation where the Youzhou army has strong combat power and is difficult to reach the city.

"If the siege is huge, our army can only continue to surround here and slowly waste time with Gongsun Zan. As for the lord, he can preside over the restoration and construction of Yuyang and other counties. Once Gongsun Zan can't hold on, the lord will have less trouble at that time." Pan Feng said.

Han Fu smiled awkwardly. In fact, the hidden meaning of him coming up to ask this question is whether he can let him go back. He is really tired of being there for the past four months.

In the past, there was a group of people who could brag and spank during the alliance. However, in the Jizhou camp, except for Pan Feng and Ju Su and others who could say a few words to him, there was no one who could drink and brag with him. Han Fu himself knew how boring this day would be.

So when Pan Feng replied that Han Fu would deal with other counties, although Han Fu had a little embarrassed, he was really happy and could finally live a good life.

After getting his satisfactory answer, Han Fu stepped back happily, and the next military matter was Pan Feng's business.

"Push the Huihui cannon!" Pan Feng shouted loudly to order,

Soon a soldier pushed the heavy Hui cannon near the city wall.

When all the revive cannons were in place, Pan Feng gave the commanding general a look, and the other party immediately directed the soldiers to attack Beiping City in front of him.

"Huhh!"

"Huhh!"

The stones thrown high brought out gusts of wind to break through, and they fell to the head of Beiping city with a huge force of inappropriate force.

"boom!"

"boom!"

The huge rock fell to the ground, and the female wall blocking in front exploded like thin paper. The flying stones were like deadly hidden weapons, and suddenly shot a group of soldiers behind the wall. Several unlucky ones were shot at the vital point and died on the spot.

When the generals guarding the city saw this scene, they dared not let the soldiers stand behind the wall. They immediately ordered loudly: "Hide behind the earthen castle, and the rest are waiting at the stairs!"

The raised earthen castles on the city wall have become the best place for soldiers to hide. Gongsun Zan has demonstrated this method countless times when building the earthen castles, and it has not been used until today.

In fact, there is no need for the general to give orders. The soldiers with quick hands and feet had long been hid behind the earthen castle, and those who reacted slowly could only run down the stairs in the city unhappy, where they could also avoid the huge rocks thrown over there. However, the stairs were too crowded, and not many soldiers could wait. More people could only be broken down from the city wall and then wait for orders against the base of the wall.

On the city.

The whistling huge rocks continued one after another. Each huge rock that hit the female wall could make a gap of more than one meter, and by the way, they could kill and injure the soldiers guarding the city who had not had time to escape.

Although the huge rocks falling on the city wall failed to break the female wall, they could use the rolling destructive power to crush the soldiers along the way to bloody blood.

Under the attack of the boulders, the city was in chaos, except for the raised small earthen castles.

The soft sand piled up outside the castle can effectively slow down the impact of the boulder. Once the impact of the boulder is weakened, it cannot damage the main interface inside the castle, and it is naturally impossible to affect the soldiers hiding there.

In each small earthen castle space, two soldiers were next to each other and were slight vibrations from the rocks hitting the earthen castle. This vibration intensity was even worse than the tremor caused by the rocks when they fell nearby.

Seeing that the castle had such a good effect against the huge rocks, the city guard generals also occupied a space with a smile.

In this way, the Huihui cannons under the city were still roaring, and the Youzhou soldiers on the city soon became quiet after experiencing the initial panic, and in the end, no soldiers could even be seen again.

Although Pan Feng was far away from the city, his eyesight could still see what was happening on the city wall. He saw those small raised earthen castles, and saw soldiers hiding behind the earthen castles, and saw the limited damage of Huihui cannons to such earthen castles. When all the soldiers of Youzhou soldiers disappeared and the female wall was almost destroyed, Pan Feng ordered a frontal charge.

Because of the reason why Hui Hui cannons destroyed the female wall, the difficulty of siege of the Jizhou Army was much lower than that of normal circumstances, but a lot lower does not mean that there is no difficulty.

When Jing Lan and Yun Ladder pressed up, the city guards who were hiding in the dark to observe the situation immediately called the soldiers to come to welcome the arrival of the Jizhou Army.

Compared to the Huihuan that exceeded human power, the soldiers of Youzhou were obviously more willing to face the soldiers of Jizhou who were also flesh and blood.

So a battle to defend the city without any retreat began.

"All the crossbowmen came up and burned the enemy's Jing Lan for me!" The general guarding the city ordered loudly.

Unlike the Yellow Turban Army and the Black Mountain Army that Pan Feng encountered in the past, these regular generals under Gongsun Zan obviously knew how to destroy Jing Lan's siege weapon, so when rockets were shot on Jing Lan, the competition between the two sides began.

For the Jizhou army, as long as Jing Lan is captured before Jing Lan is completely ignited, the rockets burning on Jing Lan will not be a concern. However, once the Jizhou army cannot capture it for a long time, the crossbowmen on Jing Lan will definitely retreat in order to avoid being burned alive. Once Jing Lan's suppression disappears, the Youzhou soldiers who are climbing to attack the city will definitely be hit hard, and they may also affect the morale of the army.

Therefore, when the crossbowmen of Youzhou Army shot out the rocket, Pan Feng immediately sent the second team of soldiers to come up.

When the soldiers were sieging the city, Pan Feng was observing the situation of the Jizhou Army on the city. Judging from the conclusions of his observation, some of the soldiers of the Youzhou Army seemed to be exhausted. The sluggish sword swing and assassination had no ability to kill them at all. Instead, the Jizhou Army seized the opportunity and looked over several of them.

It is not difficult to see from this point that the soldiers under Gongsun Zan may not be full. It seems that even with the support of a noble family, Gongsun Zan cannot maintain the daily consumption of the 30,000 army.

Since Pan Feng saw the simplicity of the Youzhou Army, he would not be polite. The original policy was to turn feint attacks into strong attacks once the opponent found that there was a flaw. Now the second group of soldiers went up, and the next group of real elites were ready, and the team was led by Deng Long, a desperate general.

Pan Feng is confident that if the Youzhou army on the city still performs this way, then the next wave of charge can determine the tendency to win this siege!

"Zi Ju, when you go up next wave, you must climb the city wall. If you can get the first step, your lord will reward you!" Pan Feng said in a deep voice.

Han Fu, who was standing beside him, nodded at Deng Long with a smile.

Deng Long immediately looked excited.
