The Jizhou army has been surrounded outside the city of Beiping for seven months. These seven months are not easy for the Youzhou army in the city, and it is also a bit difficult for the Jizhou army outside the city.

Unlike the soldiers of other princes, the Jizhou Army was considered one of the most wanted to make achievements, which was mainly due to Pan Feng's clear rewards and punishments and his example.

Under such circumstances, the soldiers who finally came out of the military camp naturally went to make achievements. They won consecutive victories on the road before, but after arriving in Peking, they won a great victory. Everyone thought that making achievements was right in front of them, but as a result, they waited for seven months!

The energetic Jizhou Army has been impatient for seven months. Now it has finally had the chance to kill the enemy and make achievements, so why don’t you push forward?

Therefore, when Pan Feng ordered the siege, the soldiers of Jizhou still sacrificed themselves to the death and fought for the first place even if they knew the siege was very risky.

"kill!"

On the city wall, a soldier from Jizhou jumped up from the ladder and jumped into the gap of the female wall that the Huihui cannon smashed, chopping over a Youzhou soldier who had no time to fight back, and then stumbled the exit with the storm.

At this time, the disadvantages of the Youzhou Army, who had not had enough food, were reflected.

The deficit over the years made them weak quickly after a brief battle. In this case, they met the soldiers of Jizhou who were like wolves and tigers. It was like putting their heads under the blade of someone else's sword, and the only end to welcome the Youzhou army was to end up with hatred.

However, the city wall was the territory of the Youzhou Army after all. After a brief resistance, the Jizhou soldier who rushed to the wall was stabbed with a spear.

But even so, he had already bought enough time for the soldiers in the rear.

The former soldier had just fallen from the city wall. Before the Youzhou army put away his spear, a soldier roared and jumped up. Then he rushed into the crowd regardless of concern and slashed wildly.

Such a scene happens on every section of the city wall in Beiping City. Compared to the lack of confidence in the Youzhou Army, the crazy appearance of the Jizhou Army is enough to make everyone present frightened.

that's all.

After a brief stalemate, the Jizhou army gradually gained the advantage, and the soldiers who rushed to the city were fighting for longer and longer. If this situation was not stopped, the walls of Beiping City would soon be lost.

The guards on the city were so anxious that they sweated on their foreheads. Because the Jizhou army did not launch an attack for seven months, although there were guards on the city wall, they did not prepare the soldiers to listen at all times. So when the commanders sent the news, they could only rely on the guards on the city wall to fight to the death.

But this kind of resistance seems to be at its most dangerous moment now. If you are not careful, you will have a full collapse. When you think of the consequences you have to face after the collapse, the defender couldn't help looking into the city.

When will reinforcements arrive?

At this moment, a large number of people suddenly appeared on the empty street, and the leader rode a tall horse wearing a strong and stalked with sharp edges. From the armor of this person, it can be seen that the one who came to support was Gongsun Zan's cousin Gongsun Yue!

"General Gongsun, you are here!" The guard came to the wall and shouted loudly.

Gongsun Yue's appearance made the defender see hope in despair, and also gave the Youzhou soldiers who were on the verge of collapse the last courage.

"Soldiers, General Gongsun's reinforcements have arrived. Everyone should hold on! You must hold on!" The guard shouted. In order to stabilize the situation, he did not allow the Jizhou army to climb the city wall, he drew his sword and killed him.

It was also at this time that the third team led by Deng Long launched a fierce charge against the Beiping city wall.

This time, the pressure given by the Jizhou army was even more surging than before, especially under the leadership of Deng Long, the desperate captain.

Deng Long was privately called the Desperate Captain because he was the soldiers who were leading the way in every battle. With the leadership of this Desperate Captain, which of the soldiers who followed him had the face to wince? In addition, Deng Long's talent for "courage and good at fighting" made every time the division led by Deng Long showed a strong combat power better than other divisions.

This time, the two thousand tribes led by Deng Long were the same.

When they took over the second batch of siege soldiers, the Youzhou army opposite suddenly couldn't hold back.

The two thousand siege soldiers led by Deng Long were originally elite soldiers in the Jizhou army. In addition, Deng Long's talent inspired the combat power of these elite soldiers in Jizhou reached twice the level of the previous group of soldiers in a short period of time. In addition, the Youzhou army was exhausted in fighting with a deficit body, and the two collided, and the defense line of the Youzhou army was instantly shattered by the screams of the defenders.

"kill!"

Deng Long jumped up from the ladder, and his big gun swept heavily to the Youzhou soldiers in front of him. The exhausted Youzhou soldiers were swept over by Deng Long like wheat. Before the Youzhou soldiers could get up, the Jizhou soldiers behind Deng Long jumped onto the top of the city.

"You guys keep the defense line, I'll kill that guard!" Deng Long reminded the soldiers who rushed up and shot at the defending general who was commanding the battle not far away.

The general had actually noticed the invincible Deng Long. At this moment, he saw him facing him, and knew he was unable to defeat him, he retreated without hesitation. At the same time, he kept asking the soldiers around him to push him up and try to stop Deng Long in place.

However, Deng Long, who had turned on the hunting mode, was not so easy to stop. The soldiers who rushed up not only did not cause much damage to Deng Long, but instead triggered his talent to "fight back to the water" because Deng Long was deeply trapped in the enemy formation.

In an instant, the big gun in Deng Long's hand turned into a sharp sickle. Every time he waved it, he could knock down and kill a large number of defenders. Even though Deng Long's strength was consumed a lot in the process, he didn't need to worry about this at all, because when the defenders dealt with him, the Jizhou army under the city had already taken advantage of the gap to kill him.

For a time, the remaining defenders on the city had to deal with the Jizhou army that was constantly storming, and also respond to Deng Long who was rushing wildly among the crowd. They also had to follow the panicked orders of the defenders. The three items were put into full force and directly put the defenders on the verge of collapse.

Seeing that the situation on the city was pouring out sharply towards the Jizhou Army, perhaps the entire city wall would fall into the control of the Jizhou Army in the next second.

At this moment, Gongsun Yue's reinforcements finally rushed to the wall.

"Don't panic for everyone, Gongsun Yue is here!"

The name of the Gongsun family is still very useful here. After hearing Gongsun Yue's voice, those defenders who were struggling to survive, they all used their last strength to provide space for reinforcements to march.

"Press up! Pick up!"

Gongsun Yue shouted urgently to the soldiers behind him. He saw that the city walls in some places had been completely cleaned by the Jizhou army. If he could not take that place back as soon as possible, it would become the final breakthrough for the entire city wall.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Yue did not hesitate at all and drew out his sword and rushed towards the city wall occupied by the Jizhou army.

Seeing that Gongsun Zan was so desperate, the Youzhou army did not dare to carry it. They all rushed towards the Jizhou army on the city under the command of their respective generals.

The chaos is about to break out.

......

City government office.

Gongsun Zan sat behind the desk with his eyes closed without any image, holding his head on the table with one hand and putting the other hand on his knees rhythmically and gently tapping it as if a beautiful melody was being performed in his mind.

Around him, the musicians and dancers were all bowing their heads in a regular manner and did not dare to say anything. Only the humming faintly came from Gongsun Zan's nose in the entire hall brought a hint of anger.

It has been two hours since the soldiers came to report to the Jizhou army's siege. Gongsun Zan has maintained this appearance since then. During this period, he occasionally changed his posture, but never asked about the city defense.

Suddenly, a series of rapid footsteps sounded in the calm government office. Then a soldier hurriedly came to the hall, knelt down with a crying voice, "Lord, the enemy's offensive is too fierce. General Yue led his army to resist and died in a battle with the enemy general!"

As soon as these words came out, the musicians and dancers around were shocked. Even Gongsun Zan, who seemed to be leisurely and contented, stopped to knock on his knees.

He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the soldiers below who were embarrassed and sad, with a sad look. The eyes gradually became sharp.

"A general was actually killed in the battle to defend the city. What are the faces of you soldiers who are alive?"

Speaking of this, Gongsun Zan looked out the door: "Come on, drag this useless thing out and behead me!"

The soldiers kneeling in the hall were stunned for a moment. He just came to report a letter, why did he kill him?

"Lord, the young man is innocent, the young man is just a message!" The soldier cried and kowtowed and begged for mercy, but the coldness on Gongsun Zan's face did not loosen at all.

In this way, the soldiers were pulled out amid the crying sounds, and after a moment of mercy, the begging for mercy came to an abrupt end.

Before Gongsun Zan could make fun of Gongsun Yue's death in battle, another soldier hurriedly ran in.

"Lord, Mr. Gongsun Ji was shot by the loss while commanding the defense in the north of the city. When he was lifted down, he lost his breath."

Gongsun Zan suddenly turned his head and looked at the soldiers in a cold look.

"Where are Zigang's others?"

The soldier was startled by Gongsun Zan's eyes and pointed outside tremblingly and said, "Mr.'s body is outside the door."

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Zan strode out to the door.

Sure enough, on the ground below the steps, Gongsun Ji's body was lying quietly on a simple shelf, with a blood-colored strip of cloth wrapped around his neck. It was obvious that Gongsun Ji died on the spot because he was shot in the neck by a runaway arrow.

Looking at the body of his former friend, the coldness on Gongsun Zan's face finally melted a little. He slowly squatted down and gently brushed his fingers over the blood-colored cloth strip on Gongsun Ji's neck and sighed.

"Brother Zigang, I was the one who harmed you."

Gongsun Ji was an official around Liu Yu, and his status was not lower than that of Gongsun Zan, which means he was relatively smaller. If the two had not been in the same ambitions, Gongsun Ji would not have followed him on this path of no return, and he would not have ended up in such a miserable end.

In the past seven months, Gongsun Zan has not seen the efforts of Gongsun Ji, Gongsun Yue and Tian Yu, but there has been a voice in his heart telling him that the efforts made by these people are just futile.

From the failure of the Fire Bull Formation, Tian Kai and the five thousand cavalry were lost on the way to retreat, Gongsun Zan knew that he had no power to fight back against the Jizhou army, and defending the city to the death was just to give him and his soldiers.

Methods such as sticking to other long-distance troops may have some effect, but for Jizhou, which is close and rich in resources, supporting this army is not a problem. Instead, the Youzhou army trapped in the city has become a rootless army.

In this case, even if Pan Feng does not launch an attack, the destruction of the Youzhou army will be a matter of sooner or later.

It is precisely because of this that Gongsun Zan did not hesitate to kill the noble families in the city, because he had no way out and no hope. Instead, killing those noble families could still buy some time for himself and his soldiers. At least they did live for four more months now, right?

It’s just a pity that Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Ji... and Tian Yu who is in prison.

Gongsun Zan didn't believe that they didn't see the decline of the Youzhou Army, but even if they saw it, these people still followed him unyieldingly until the last moment of their lives.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Zan suddenly felt like he wanted to laugh. At least he came to this world and did not leave alone.

At this moment, he no longer wanted to pay attention to the battle outside the city. Now that Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Ji are both dead, you can know what is going on over the city wall by thinking about it. Instead of thinking about the battle on the city, it is better to think about how to leave yourself a decent face.

Why did he say that Gongsun Zan is also a famous white horse general, so how could he become a prisoner of Han Fu?

"Come, go and let Tian Yu go and tell him that his kindness and I have been cleared. If you want to survive, you will surrender to the Jizhou Army. With his ability, the Jizhou Army will definitely leave him a place." Gongsun Zan said without looking back.

The guards on the side rushed out quickly after hearing this.

After the personal guard left, Gongsun Zan looked at the dancer musician who was still trembling in the hall and spoke again: "Kill all those people, and wait until you get underground to continue to sing and dance for me."

After the words came, the guards drew their swords and rushed in without hesitation. For a moment, screams and begging for mercy were filled with the lobby.

Gongsun Zan listened indifferently to the begging for mercy of these dancers and musicians until they could no longer hear their voices when they turned into the corridor next to them.

Soon, Gongsun Zan came to the backyard of the government office.

This is where his family lives.

The wife Hou had already learned about the situation outside the city from the servants. When she saw Gongsun Zan coming, she grabbed Gongsun Zan's hand with a panic expression and asked in a trembling voice: "Husband, can the soldiers still defend the city?"

Gongsun Zan shook his head: "I can't hold on anymore, and you and I can't escape."

Upon hearing this, Hou's face turned pale in an instant. Before he could speak, a heroic young man walked out of the room next to him and said, "Since our army cannot defend the city, the child will lead his army to break through for his father. As long as his father leaves Peking, he can reunite with the help of the four counties in Liaodong. If so, there may not be no chance to counterattack Peiping!"

This young man is the most outstanding one among Gongsun Zan's children, named Gongsun Xu, who was highly expected by Gongsun Zan.
