Chapter 762
Time passed very slowly, and finally it was August.

A Shu had besieged Gongchang city for more than [-] days, and the city wall of Gongchang had been soaked in water for more than ten days.

The battle seemed to be very fierce. Every day, prisoners were driven into trenches to dig tunnels leading to the city wall. The Song army would shoot arrows to kill the prisoners who dug too hard, and the Mongolian army would also shoot arrows to kill the prisoners who refused to work hard.

The corpse fell, and the blood spread along with the shallow river outside the city, making it reddish-brown everywhere.

The Mongolian army stopped shooting fireballs into the city, but directly shot the rotting corpses into the city, hoping to cause a plague in the city.

This is not a siege tactic created by Ashu, it is a common method during the Western Expedition.

For the captives under the city walls, such a battlefield is simply hell.

But in fact, the Mongolian army has not started to attack the city with all its strength, and the large group of soldiers and horses have not entered the place where the artillery vehicles on the top of the city can hit...

For the Song army, this battle was very uncomfortable.

Lu Xiaoyou, who was in charge of guarding the east city, became more and more anxious.

Every day he could only stand on the city wall soaked in water, watching the people die in pain, but he didn't even kill a single enemy.

Li Zengbo came over on a routine inspection this day, and Lu Xiaoyou finally couldn't help asking: "Commander, can the artillery reach that camp, let the general fire?"

He is not the garrison of Gongchang, but a reinforcement from Hanzhong. Although he is dispatched by Li Zengbo, he is not directly under him, so he sometimes dares to make suggestions.

"Don't worry." Li Zengbo said: "You just killed a dozen Mongolians with one cannon, what's the point?"

"But if the city wall collapses, there is still no shot..."

"There is no need to consider such irrelevant things on the battlefield." Li Zengbo suddenly raised his hand, pointed at a group of prisoners under the city, and ordered: "Shoot them."

"Whoosh whoosh..."

There was another round of arrow rain, and more than a dozen prisoners who had worked too hard to dig the city wall fell to the ground and struggled.

Li Zengbo didn't go to see them, but observed the situation of the Mongolian army and thought about it.

"Haven't the ants attached to attack the city yet? It's inevitable that Ah Shu wants to surround the spot to fight for reinforcements... But this child can't be deduced by common sense..."

After thinking about it, he suddenly thought again: "What if we reasoned it out with common sense?"

According to common sense, what Ah Shu should have done was to contain Guanlong's troops and create conditions for Liu Zheng to enter Guanzhong. He shouldn't have gone to Lingtai, let alone Gongchang.

It should be known that Li Fen is raising the flag in Shandong, and the Song Dynasty has already attacked Henan, Shandong, Hebei and other places, so the Mongolian army should not attack Guanlong again.

Why did Liu Zheng and A Shu still want to kill them?
Use offense instead of defense.

The Mongolian army was not good at defending the city, so they used offense instead of defense.

Thinking about it this way, Ah Shu's war seems to be a powerful and unconstrained style, but in fact it is still common sense.

Dragging under the city of Gongchang, is it true that part of the reason is to cooperate with the Mongolian army on the eastern front?

Calculating the time, Liu Zheng was defeated in mid-June, when Ashu was still near Lingtai, until the beginning of July, Ashu was still detouring through the ancient Guanshan Road, and after more than [-] days, he had already arrived outside Gongchang City.

Within a month and a half, the news of Liu Zheng's defeat had spread here early.

However, the news of the Mongolian army had to be confirmed by Shanxi first, and then the letter was sent to Liangzhou or Liupanshan, and then passed to Ashu.

A Shu marched too fast, Dang didn't know that Liu Zheng had been defeated.

……

Thinking of this, Li Zengbo muttered to himself: "Zhuzi, no matter how treacherous the march is, it is not without traces."

Old and tired, he raised his hand and beckoned.

Lu Xiaoyou then said: "Commander, please give me instructions."

"There is an urgent military order, can you send someone to break through?"

"The general must find a way."

"Don't worry, there may be reinforcements arriving in these two days, let's see if there is a chance..."

~~
Mongolian army tent.

Ah Shu is waiting for Tan Ma to come back.

He plucked his ears out of boredom, and said: "Song people's reinforcements should be coming soon. If the strength of the troops is comparable to ours, they can enter Guanzhong."

Tie Bilie was very surprised, and asked: "Song people have the same strength, so you dare not fight?"

"I'm saying that, the defense line of the Guanshan road is empty, of course we should go to Guanzhong."

Because they were not in front of the battle, they spoke very casually, without etiquette, and they said whatever they thought, regardless of whether they offended or not.

Ashu said with a smile, and said again: "If Song people catch up to stop me, I will turn back to the south and pass through Qishan Road."

"You talk about this every day, do you definitely want to go to Guanzhong?"

"It's useless for Gong Chang to make small troubles." A Shu yawned, squinted outside the tent, and said, "There are only [-] people in such a big place. Back then, I penetrated the Song Dynasty and wiped out the enemy." More than [-] people."

Tie Bilie nodded, deeply sympathetic, and said, "The Great Khan shouldn't have listened to those talkers. He should have killed all the Han people in Guanzhong and Henan, and changed the fields into grasslands. Then there would be no troubles like this." .”

"Ha ha."

Ashu smiled casually.

Speaking of which, although these two young men have also killed tens of 10 people, compared to their grandparents, they are indeed just small troubles.

The population of the Kingdom of Jin in the seven years in Taihe was about 300 million people, but after the Mengjin War, only 1000 million people remained.

In less than 30 years, more than [-] million people died in the flames of war and massacres.

Ashu's grandfather was Subotai who participated in the War to Exterminate Gold and led the army to break through Bianjing.At that time, he wanted to slaughter Bianliang, but Yelu Chucai saved 1407 million people.

Tie Bilie's father was Kuo Duan of Tu Shu.

The two fathers and grandparents added up, and the number of people who ordered the massacre was literally tens of millions. This time, driving [-] captives to attack the city for more than [-] days, and only killing a few people every day, is really a bit boring.

"The world is so big, and there are still so many lands in the Mongolian Kingdom that have not been conquered." Tebilie continued: "The Khan does not slaughter the city, and the Han people take back the land that was seized. It is a waste of time."

Ah Shu smiled casually again, but didn't answer.

Tie Bilie wanted to speak again, but before he could speak, he was interrupted.

"Stop judging Dahan's actions."

"Ok."

After a while, Tanma finally came back.

"Report to the Marshal, Lian Xixian led the army to arrive, stationed in the village forty miles to the south, it is full of cavalry, with more than ten thousand horses..."

"More than ten thousand horses?" A Shu asked, "How many people?"

"No more than five thousand."

Ah Shu was disappointed.

Lian Xixian led the troops out of Tianshui, and Tanma had already arrived.Ashu originally wanted to make a surprise attack, but he didn't expect that the cavalry of the Song Army had to walk for more than ten days, step by step, and did not give him a chance to sneak attack.

Now that Lian Xixian finally arrived, the other Song troops retreated to the defense lines and continued to block Ashu's road.

Lian Xixian only brought a few thousand people here. Is it because of suspicion or is it really insufficient?

Ah Shu also felt puzzled for a moment, so she simply stopped thinking about it.

Immediate response is good.

"Tie Bilie, tomorrow I will lead five Tan Ma Chi troops to attack Lian Xixian. You come to attack Gongchang by force. Don't let the Song army in the city go out of the city to meet the reinforcements."

"it is good……"

~~
Before dawn, Li Bing had already been driven to the east of Gongchang City.

There were originally [-] captives on each of the four sides of Gongchang City, which were divided into ten thousand-man captive teams, each guarded by a hundred-man team of Mongolian soldiers.

There have been a lot of casualties recently, and there are only seven of the ten thousand-man captive teams on the east side of the city, that is, nearly 3000 people died.

Li Bing stood in the team of thousands of people, his eyes became more and more numb.

His left ear was already hurting more and more, and the buzzing sound hadn't gone away.

He originally thought that he would dig the city wall as usual... After more than ten days of digging experience, he already understood how to survive in the trench.Play hard, but don't get too close to the walls.But it could also just be luck and not get shot.

But soon, the ladder was lifted up.

Li Bing had a bad feeling and looked at Feng Liangzai.

"us……"

The horn sounded suddenly.

As before, the Mongolian army killed some people, and the prisoners rushed towards the city wall.

This time it’s not digging, this time it’s really going to the battlefield...

Li Bing knew that he was going to die under the city wall today.

He could already hear the screams of those unlucky ghosts at the front.

"what!"

Like being doused in hot gold juice.

"I want to die quickly... Let me be stoned to death..."

"We can make meritorious service!" Feng Liangzai shouted, as if using his voice to embolden himself, "We can conquer the top of the city, enter the Batu Lu army, and become Mongols..."

Li Bing only felt despair.

"Did you hear that?!" Feng Liangzai shouted again: "We want to make meritorious service."

Although he shouted loudly, he was already crying.

He has already run into the range of Song Jun's arrows, and he will die at any time.

"We want to make meritorious service!"

Feng Liangzai raised his hand and tried his best to boost morale in the end.

"If we win this battle, we will no longer be a mouthful. Han officials like Commander Wang will intercede and release the mouth..."

Li Bing only felt buzzing in his ears, and suddenly he didn't want to hear these anymore.

I don't know why I am still struggling, so I numbly let myself be driven by my instinctive desire to survive.

Let it go.

"puff!"

Blood splashed on Li Bing's face.

He was stunned, turned his head to look, and met Feng Liangzai's tearful and astonished eyes.

In the red mist, Feng Liangzai's neck had already been cut in half.

Not even a single extra word, this educated and Mongolian-speaking... just fell down so easily.

Li Bing originally thought that he would be the longest-lived among tens of thousands of people...

The corpse fell to the ground, and Li Bing found that he had unknowingly fallen at the end of the 1000 people.

A Mongolian pawn on a horse held a bloody scimitar in one hand and the rein in the other, driving the horse back and forth across the junction where the Song army's arrows could reach, shouting.

"Uzhigexi!"

When Feng Liangzai's body fell down, Mengzu still didn't realize that he had killed a Mongolian-speaking interpreter.

He doesn't need an interpreter.There is no interpreter here, only oral interpretation.

As long as he swung his knife, the mouthers would naturally understand what he was talking about.

"Uzhigexi!"

With another roar, Meng Zu looked at Li Bing who was standing still, and slashed down with his knife...

Li Bing was still in a daze.

"boom!"

A thunderbolt crashed into the sky.

"boom!!"

The earth seemed to tremble, and Li Bing suddenly felt that the world was clean.

"what!"

He couldn't help but yelled, his chest hurt, and he was hit by the startled horse and flew to the ground...

~~
"Kill the prisoner!"

The Yong'an gate on the east side of Gongchang opened wide, and two thousand cavalry rushed out, circled around, and went straight to kill Meng cavalry in the distance.

After another thunder, the battle drums on the top of the city cheered the cavalry out of the city.

Li Zengbo thought it wasn't loud enough, so he rushed to the drum ring, took the drum and smashed it down hard.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The skinny old man in his sixties had such great strength that the drums were loud and loud, and the sound shook the whole field.

The large formation of the Mongolian army who was watching the battle across the Weishui River did not expect that there were artillery on the top of the city that could hit so far, and it was already in chaos.

The small group of Mongolian troops who were supervising the battle nearby did not expect that the cavalry of the Song Army would come out of the city to fight, and they were also there in a daze.

~~
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

Li Bing finally heard the voice again.

His left ear still hurts, but the buzzing feeling is gone.

It seemed as if the thunderclap had shattered the dirty things stuck in his ears.

Everything looks a little different...

He looked up from the chaos and saw a bright red cloak on the top of the city.

"It's all caused by Song people." Feng Liangzai's words came to mind again.

Afterwards, Li Bing thought of the officials of the Tongwei County Government.

"Wuhu silk? I won't accept it, and I won't accept it again. Madam sold the cloth and bought two catties of meat for the baby. Seeing how thin he is..."

"What year? Five years for Mengge Khan? I borrowed one penny and still owe him five pennies? Don't worry, ma'am, I think the county government wants to punish him, not ask you to pay back the money..."

Li Bing thought about it, and saw a small group of Song Army cavalry had circled to his side, holding horses and charging towards the Mongolian soldiers.

The captives ran around in fright.

Soon another group of Song army cavalry came on horseback, shouting: "Put down your weapons! Disarm and enter the city!"

The scene is still chaotic.

The position where Li Bing stood was at the end of this group of captives, and not far away was the battlefield where more than a hundred Mongolian and Song cavalry who were supervising them fought.

He lowered his head, and suddenly saw the Meng soldier who killed Feng Liangzai just now.

The opponent has fallen off the horse and is moaning.

Li Bing bent down and picked up an arrow on the ground, rushed forward, and pierced the Mongolian soldier's throat.

He is the only one today, and the first one to do this, not only for Feng Liangzai, but also for his family, revenge.

Blood splattered Li Bing's face again, and he realized that he had not forgotten the revenge of breaking the family...
