contend

Chapter 338
After four full days of delay, Yang Zheng led the personal guard battalion and Xiaoqi battalion to Guzang.

Gu Zang, the core of Liangzhou, is also the biggest piece of fat.

The important point of the world, the national guard.

Outside the city, Jiang Farye built three layers of fortifications, completely besieging Gu Zang to death.

In order to win Guzang, Lu Zhi piled up the manpower and material resources of the entire Xiping and Xihai.

Needless to say, slaves and government soldiers, even women and children aged eight or nine were mobilized, and the old, weak, sick and disabled drove ox carts and horse carts to deliver food and grass.

When Liu Bei attacked Hanzhong, it was the luck of the men to fight the women.

Xiping is in the same situation now, even worse.

To win Wuwei is to dive into the abyss.

Even if the Sima family wanted to attack, they had to weigh it carefully.

When Yang Zheng arrived, he couldn't help being surprised.

[-] to [-] people gathered outside the city of Guzang, strong women with spears, children with short knives, old men with gray hair...

For this battle, Lu Zhi took out all of Xiping's family assets.

"Subordinates are incompetent, so it's hard to break through the city." Jiang Faye took the lead in kneeling in front of Yang Zheng.

Yang Zheng helped him up, "This statement is wrong. Hu Fen is a brave general of Yongliang. Guzang is a strong city in the world. You can hold the camp and wait for the general to return. It is already a great achievement!"

Praising in front of so many people, even Jiang Faye had a calm temperament, and couldn't help but blush.

"This is a matter of the subordinate's duty. What merits are there? Lu Gong is in Xiping, and it is a great achievement!"

Among the three father-in-laws, there was finally a reliable one.

Xia Houxuan is too noble, Peng Hu is too smart, and only Jiang Faye knows how to advance and retreat.

In many cases, although there are geniuses in a group, such as Du Yu and Zhang Te, there must also be mature and stable backbones, such as Lu Zhi, Jiang Faye, and Zhou Yu.

Otherwise, everyone wants to stand out, and no one will be able to stand out in the end.

Zhou Fang is a living lesson.

For more than half a month, Jiang Faye defended with deep ditches and high fortifications, determined not to fight.

Regardless of Hu Fen's provocation or breakout, they were all blocked by Jiang Faye's hard work.

It made it look like Jiang Faye was defending the city, while Hu Fen was attacking the city.

A world of ice and snow is beneficial to the defender. A layer of water is an ice wall.

Hu Fen was helpless in the end.

"Kill cattle and sheep, and reward the whole army!" The first military order issued by Yang Zheng caused cheers outside Guzang City.

These were the trophies of Qianyin's capture of Qianghu, and Yang Zheng was not stingy.

He has always felt that war is about morale and momentum.

After resting for a whole day, the next day, Yang Zheng showed up at the shooting place under the city with Guo Huai's axe, feather, festival battle, and seal ribbon.

Guzang is one of the most powerful cities in the world.

According to Yang Zheng's visual inspection, it is about five or six meters high, built of bricks and stones, it is definitely a strong city in this era.

It is also much larger than Xiping.

"Where is Hu Xuanwei!" Yang Zheng yelled towards the city.

What he got in exchange was four or five sharp arrows, softly nailed to his feet.

Not long after, Hu Fen appeared at the top of the city, looking at the axes, feathers and other objects, his eyes suddenly became complicated.

"Guo Huai is dead, Deng Ai has retreated, and Guzang is already an isolated city. Why don't Xuanwei vote for me? You can help the Great Wei Sheji with me and wipe out the Sima clan!" Yang Zheng's eyes fell on Peng Hu who was beside him.

The Anding Hu family was more loyal to the Sima family than Deng Ai.

The Hu family is tied to the Sima family.

So Yang Zheng never thought of being able to persuade Hu Fen to surrender.

One is to hit the morale of the defenders, and the other is to show those who care.

Sure enough, Hu Fen laughed loudly on the top of the wall: "Why does Xingyun lie to me? What you do is to help Wei? You and I are already in an endless situation. Don't talk too much. There are three years of food in Guzang City , tens of thousands of soldiers, hundreds of thousands of civilians, if you have the courage, you can go ahead and attack, and I will fight to the death in this city!"

If it is true as he said, tens of thousands of people will die every one or two years, Yang Zheng really can't take this city down.

But that's just normal.

Yang Zheng licked his chapped lips, and also laughed, "Xuanwei has also learned to deceive people. How come there are tens of thousands of soldiers in Guzang City? Within three days, this city will be destroyed. Do you believe Xuanwei?"

Hu Fen laughed again, with his hands lined up on top of the pheasant plate, his eyes stabbing down from the city wall like swords, "The general will be waiting for Xingyun in the city!"

Yang Zheng didn't talk nonsense, and led everyone back to the formation.

"Break Guzang in three days? The general can boast more than I do!" Liu Heng, the most bragging and pretending to be the most ruthless, couldn't help but sarcasm.

Yang Zheng laughed dryly, "Don't be idle these two days, beat the gongs and drums, and try to let the defenders know their helpless situation."

"Okay." Liu Heng rubbed his head.

"Jiang Tongzhi, you lead [-] soldiers, feint attacking at any time, nonstop day and night, draining the morale of the defenders."

"Take orders!" Jiang Faye cupped his hands.

Xia Houxuan was gone, and he had only two father-in-laws left. Jiang Faye was strong enough, and it was time for the other father-in-law to play a role.

His performance under the city was just for him.

The situation in Yongliang is clear at a glance. When Yang Zheng defeated Guo Huai, Gu Zang was the winner.

The whole Liangzhou is also fish on the chopping board.

Now it's just a question of how to speak.

Of course, there are not all those who eat meat and overturn their cars, and Zhuge Ke is a living example.

An army of 20 cannot break through a new city guarded by 3000 people...

Yang Zheng felt that Gu Zang would definitely not be able to bear it if he was besieged for a year or so, but he couldn't bear it either.

That is the worst ending, Wuwei is abolished, and Xiping is also exhausted. There is no way to recover in six or seven years.

And after six or seven years, the Sima family basically flattened Huainan and unified the interior.

"Is there any news from the city?" Everything is ready, and the only thing left is Peng Hu's help.

"Not yet." Pang Qing replied.

"Then wait a little longer and let the soldiers rest well."

"only!"

After waiting, two days passed, and the first year of Zhengyuan also passed, and the second year of Zhengyuan rolled around, and there was no news from Peng Hu.

It is very possible that Hu Fen is also guarding against Peng Hu.

Otherwise, I wouldn't bring him with me.

If three days passed, his cowhide would be blown out.

These days, my father-in-law is unreliable, so I still have to do it myself.

"Order the whole army to attack the city today!" The soldiers had also recuperated for so many days, and they should exercise their muscles and bones, otherwise they would be looked down upon by others.

Under the broad daylight, the iron armor is thick, and the swords and spears are like a forest.

"The first climber will have five ranks of meritorious service, and the meritorious service will be done today!" Encouraged by Xuan Yilang, the eyes of the soldiers became frenzied.

The Yongliang army is not afraid of death, so why not the Xiping army?
The heavy and majestic war drums sounded loudly, and the sound of footsteps and armor clanging shook the earth.

The Xiping army came taking advantage of the victory, their morale was high, and they rested for three days, eating meat and soup, and at this moment, they were full of energy.

And the defenders have been harassed non-stop for the past two days, so it is definitely impossible to have no impact at all.

Yang Zheng's style of using troops is either not to attack, or to do his best!
Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.
