I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 332, fierce battle

Jizhou, Lu Nu!

The sound of drums over Lunu City shook the sky, and the sound of fierce fighting resounded all around. The two warring parties have been fighting for more than ten days, and the air is filled with the faint smell of blood and gunpowder smoke. There are already several gaps, but the resistance in the city is still not over!
After the artillery stopped firing, Wang Yong ordered 5000 soldiers to rush across the moat and climb hundreds of ladders.

However, when the soldiers of the Rattan Army began to approach the city wall, the empty city wall was quickly filled with soldiers. These soldiers either dropped stones or dropped sleepers to prevent the soldiers of the Rattan Army from continuing to climb the wall.

"Boom, boom, boom," didn't even some giant grenades keep dropping from the city walls!This kind of grenade gave the rattan armored army great lethality and fear. As long as this grenade is dropped on the city wall, the soldiers around will definitely avoid it!
The battle lasted for half a day. Wang Yong attacked Lunu City with a team of 5000 people and replaced several battalions. However, under the tenacious resistance of Jizhou County, the offensive of the Tengjia Army was quickly blocked. Wang Yong saw that it was difficult to break through the city wall. , The energy of the soldiers is also consumed a lot, so they can only call for gold and withdraw!
Wang Yong looked at Lu Nucheng who was still blocking his front and said helplessly: "I didn't expect this white-faced scholar to be so hard to beat!"

Wan Lang said helplessly: "Now that the Jizhou army has gunpowder, and they are still showing such great power in the battle of defending the city, our casualties will not be small if we want to capture Lu Nu!"

But at this time, a group of people marched towards the camp of the Tengjia Army!

Soon Wang Yong's personal guards reported to Wang Yong that Yang Feng and Wang of the Yellow Turban Army came to support!
Wang Yong rushed to meet him, and Yang Feng and Wang Dang also dismounted from their horses. Not bad.

Although Wang Dang blamed Xu Wei for Zhang Yan's death in battle, the Yellow Turban Army on Taihang Mountain has been suppressed and beaten by the Jizhou Army, and the army can only be maintained by the supply of food and grass from the Tengjia Army. In this case, Wang Dang is also arrogant. Come.

Of course, it was because Xu Wei married Zhang Ning that Wang Dang turned to the Tengjia Army. Wang Dang and Zhang Yan were young, but at the beginning they turned to Zhang Niujiao. It can be said that Wang Dang and Yang Feng were both Zhang Niujiao's subordinates, it was precisely because of this relationship that Wang Dang and the others were able to let go of their grudges and join the Tengjia Army!

In addition to mobilizing 20 troops from Youzhou to attack Jizhou Tengjia Army this time, the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army in the direction of Weijun also dispatched 5 troops to attack Weijun, Zhao Guo and other places!
Of course, because Taihang Mountain has always been Huangfusong's key defense area, and there are many docks and fortifications built, Wang Dang's 5 army can only be used to contain the Jizhou army, and cannot break through the defense line. After the countryside, the defense line of the Jizhou Army collapsed across the board. In this case, Wang Dang's 5 troops finally broke through the Taihang Mountain defense line, and then occupied the three counties of Weijun, Zhao, and Changshan like a broken bamboo!

Wang Dang and the others knew that Lu Nu had not been conquered yet, so they led the troops to support them!

Yang Feng laughed and said, "We're not late, are we?"

The Tengjia Army's offensive in Jizhou can be described as overwhelming. They were really worried that they would have surrendered when they came to support them!

"It's just in time! Although the judge is a scholar, he has real skills! I have been fighting for more than half a month, and I have used tens of thousands of catties of gunpowder, but I still can't conquer Lunu City!" Wang Yong Pointing at the broken Lu Nudao with a stern expression!

"The judge is not dead yet!" Wang Dang said with a hateful expression!

Wang Dang and the others were from Changshan. Zhang Yan became the commander-in-chief of the Yellow Turban Army back then, and the troops continued to grow. Most of them were people from Changshan, Zhao, Zhongshan and other places who took refuge in them. It can be said that their subordinates are all locals in Jizhou. However, in order to fight against the Yellow Turban Army in Taihang Mountain, these elite clans of Shenpei directly massacred the people related to them in Changshan, Zhao Guo, Zhongshan and other places.

Wang Dangdao: "Our Yellow Turban Army will also join the siege, and I will judge this butcher by hand!"

Wang Yong said: "No problem!"

Wang Dang said viciously: "Tomorrow I will lead the army to attack the south gate!"

But Wan Lang on the side said: "Lunu City is tall and strong, and it has been strengthened by them for more than half a year. The city is no longer inferior to a big city like Luoyang City, and there are more defenders in the city. They are all from Jizhou The confidants of the nobles are very determined to resist us, and the food, grass and weapons in the city are also very abundant, so it is very difficult to fight. We are afraid that it will be difficult for us to conquer this city for a while. You have been fighting for 2 months, so you should repair it more It's been a good few days, and now there are only a few cities in Jizhou that have not been conquered by us, we are not in a hurry, and reducing casualties is the only way!"

Wang Yong looked at them and said strangely: "How did you come so fast, Wei Jun, Zhao Guo counties and counties have been conquered by you?"

The fighting power and equipment of the Yellow Turban Army has always been inferior to that of the Tengjia Army, and the number of the army is not as good, so they have become partial divisions, but now they have not even conquered Lunu City, but Wang Dang and they came to Zhongshan Kingdom, which caused Wang Dang Dang was curious, thinking that Wang Dang and the others had some amazing attack tricks!
Yang Fengdao: "Most of our subordinates are local people from Wei County, Zhao State, and Changshan. We already have a foundation in these three counties. The Jizhou army's defense is not tight, and most of the soldiers are used to fight with you. After we broke through the defense line of Wei County, a large number of local people took refuge in us, and the three counties of Jizhou were naturally captured by us easily!"

Wang Yong continued to ask: "Could it be that the Han army in the Central Plains did not support Jizhou?"

Although Si Li is in chaos now, when they first attacked Jizhou, Xu Wei and the others estimated that Dahan would mobilize 10 troops from the Central Plains to support Jizhou, but they did not expect that Dahan's reaction speed would be so slow. They fought Jizhou County for two days. For more than a month, the entire big man has only Cao Cao as a support soldier, which makes Wang Yong unbelievable!

Yang Feng was also surprised and said: "There are no reinforcements in the Central Plains to support Jizhou, otherwise we would not dare to bring a large army to support you!"

Wang Yong said: "This is also good news. Without the support of the imperial court, Jizhou can't last a month!"

On the wall of Lunu City, the judge is also looking at Wang Dang's support army!He has no expression on his face and no one knows what he is thinking!
Zhang He said worriedly: "The reinforcements from the imperial court have not yet arrived, but the reinforcements from the Tengjia Army have already arrived. In the past half a month, we have already lost [-]% of our soldiers. If there is no support from the reinforcements, we may not be able to hold on." !"

"Lei Gong will not let us go, now we can only fight to the death for the big man!" The judge said with a blank face!

The Tengjia Army has surrounded Lunu City for more than half a month. They have cut off contact with other places in Jizhou, and they don’t know the battle situation in other places in Jizhou. In such an isolated city like an island, there is no one to support them. A huge blow to the defenders, it will make soldiers feel like they have been abandoned!The judge himself didn't know how long they could last in Lunu!
Taiyuan County!Staff!
A huge sand table occupies most of the area of ​​the staff department, and a large number of staff officers around them are constantly changing the standards on the sand table according to the information obtained on the battlefield!
At this time, the entire sand table is covered with small flags in the shape of the rattan armor army, and there are only two cities left by the Jizhou army that have not been conquered!The war went so smoothly this time, which made the staff of the staff department very happy. At this moment, the place is full of cheerful atmosphere!

Zhang Baiqi in Taiyuan County also likes to come here to watch the sand table in Jizhou!He looked at the reddened Jizhou and said happily: "This time we have occupied Jizhou, our Tengjia Army has completely solved the food crisis!"

Jizhou is the largest granary in the Han Dynasty, with a population of 800 million at its peak, but this is only the statistics of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Although Zhang Baiqi, a local, does not have the scale book of Jizhou, he can estimate that Jizhou should have a population of tens of millions!
Being able to feed such a large population shows the wealth of Jizhou, and now the Tengjia Army has tens of millions of people in Bingzhou, and the number of troops is so large that it is about to explode. Even if they work hard to reclaim wasteland and even reclaim mountainous land, this also overwhelms the population of Bingzhou , when they conquered Youzhou, the senior officials of the Tengjia Army were eager to immigrate 200-300 million people to Youzhou to solve the problem of overpopulation in Bingzhou!

But the reality is unsatisfactory. Youzhou is a remote place. It may be better than Xiliang and Jiaozhou in Dahan. Most of the Tengjia Army's troops don't want to go to Youzhou!
In Bingzhou, they have worked hard to reclaim some fields and build water conservancy facilities. Their good life has just passed, so why go to Youzhou to continue to cultivate wasteland!Why go to a wild place like Youzhou? This is what most members of the Tengjia Army think!
Therefore, within a year after the Tengjia Army conquered Youzhou, less than a million people immigrated to Jizhou, and most of these people were people who did not want to blow sand on the grassland, and they migrated from Shuofang County and Yunzhong County , Most of them stayed in Shanggu, Daijun and other well-developed places, but not many people were willing to go to the Liaodong area that Xu Wei originally wanted to develop!Because for the Han people at this time, after leaving Lulongsai, they really entered the wild world!
But Jizhou is different. It is a truly wealthy place, and the grain output is even more unmatched by mountainous areas like Bingzhou. It can be said that even without struvite, [-]% of Jizhou's land is Naka Ueda. In Bingzhou there are Two achievements are not bad.It is conceivable that the gap is huge.

Moreover, a large part of the tribes of the Tengjia Army are people who fled from Jizhou. Now that they are asked to go home, most of the tribes are willing. Migrate 300-400 million people, so that not only can the granary of Jizhou be developed, but also the pressure on Bingzhou can be reduced!The population of the three states in Hebei occupied by the Rattan Army is reasonable!The food crisis can be regarded as a complete solution!

But at this time, a staff officer sent a message to Wang Ge, which made him look dignified!

Zhang Baiqi asked: "What happened?"

Wang Ge said: "Zhu Jun led 3 cavalry to support Jizhou. Now that this cavalry has arrived in Luoyang City, I'm afraid it will enter Jizhou soon! But we don't have many troops in the south of Jizhou!"

Zhang Baiqi said: "Aren't Wang Dang and the others from the generation of Wei County?"

Wang Ge smiled wryly and said: "Lunu City has not been conquered. Wang Dang led an army of 3 to support Wang Yong, but he did not expect such news to come from their army just after they went to Lunu City. Now Wei County has insufficient troops. , I'm afraid that Wei County will soon be reoccupied by the Han army!"

Zhang Baiqi said: "I will lead the army to Wei County to stop Zhu Jun's reinforcements!"

Then he said with a cold face: "Back then, Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, and Zhu Jun slaughtered our Yellow Turban soldiers. Now Huangfu Song has died in Youzhou, and Lu Zhi also died of illness in Jizhou. Now only Zhu Jun is still alive. This time I let him go and never return, it can be regarded as revenge for the great virtuous teacher and the millions of Yellow Turban soldiers who died tragically!"

Wang Ge thought for a while and said: "You take a rail carriage to Shangdang County and lead an army of 5 to stop Zhu Jun. I will order Wang Yong to lead [-] cavalry to support you. This should be the last cavalry of the big man. They are eliminated, which will be very beneficial for us to attack the Central Plains in the future!"

Zhang Baiqi said: "I won't let Zhu Jun escape this time!"

Nanpi City!
"Beat the drum, beat the drum, the artillery is ready to attack!" Li Gang roared hoarsely!The outer wall of Nanpi has been demolished by them, and now hundreds of artillery pieces of the Tengjia Army are bombarding the city wall of Nanpi City Square!
"Boom boom boom!" After all, the city wall of Shifang was not as good as the outer city, and it was shattered little by little during the artillery bombardment!
Ju Yi looked around and found that many soldiers had been shocked to death by the artillery of the Rattan Armored Army. He felt a pain in his heart. Street fighting is not easy, especially when the enemy has an overall advantage. Such an unusually bloody battle lasted for a long time. For a few days, the soldiers around him were exhausted!
Now the cannons of the Tengjia Army are smashing Nanpi's markets little by little, and there are fewer and fewer places where they can hold on, and fewer and fewer soldiers who can continue to fight!Ju Yi knew that he and the soldiers in his hands were about to be in a desperate situation.

After the city wall of Shifang was blown to pieces, Li Gang took the lead and shouted: "Brothers, follow me to kill the enemy!" Then he bravely fought towards the enemy ahead.

"Kill!!!" The soldiers of the Tengjia Army marched forward without hesitation, following closely behind Li Gang, pointing their sabers, invincible.Li Gang is highly skilled in martial arts, and the guards around him are also good players. The Jizhou Army can't stop Li Gang's attack at all. Those who were beaten retreated steadily, and the defenders were like a light boat in the vast ocean, which was swallowed up by the roaring waves in a blink of an eye. After a day of fighting, another market in Nanpi was captured by the rattan armor army!
Li Gang sat on the ground panting, looking at Song Yi, who was also covered in blood, and complained: "This Jizhou army is really hard to fight. I have been in the army for almost 10 years, and I have experienced hundreds of battles, but I have never fought a war." After such a difficult battle, is this Ju Yi's head flooded? They have already been defeated, and even the reinforcements have been driven away by us, why are you still resisting like this! Let all his brothers die!"

Song Yi said helplessly: "You ask me, who should I ask? I used to be a horse thief. If this was really the case, my subordinates would have surrendered long ago, and I would not fight such a battle. If I had run away long ago, I can't If you run away from me, you will surrender, it is better to live than to die!"

Li Gang scolded with a smile: "You are now a member of my rattan armor army. What do you say that you have no ambition, but this is also the reason why you became a horse thief and Ju Yi became a famous general. You must be a little bit persistent!"

But Song Yi said disapprovingly: "This time we wiped out about [-] elites of the Jizhou Army, and Ju Yi probably doesn't have many troops left, and he can't hold out for a few days if he thinks about it!"
