Water Margin people

Taiyuan Prefecture.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The shouts rushed towards Taiyuan Mansion from all directions, and the sound spread throughout Taiyuan Mansion, seeming to drown Taiyuan Mansion.

The entire Taiyuan Mansion shivered in the shouts of killing, and the city walls seemed to be shattered.

The entire Taiyuan Prefecture is surrounded by Jin Kingdom's tents, and there are circles of fortifications around the city. This is the Jin Kingdom's "City Locking Method". Heavy fortifications are built to surround the city and completely defeat the enemy's inner defenses.

"Don't panic, don't be afraid, the enemy doesn't dare to attack the city."

Zhang Xiaochun, the prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture, encouraged the soldiers in the city.

After Taiyuan Mansion fought against Tian Hu, Sun Lei took away the people, and Taiyuan Mansion became an empty city. Zhang Xiaochun was ordered to revive Taiyuan Mansion, but within a year of his arrival, he encountered Jin Bingnan.

However, Zhang Xiaochun was lucky. There were only a few civilians in Taiyuan Mansion, most of them were soldiers, and they would not be frightened when facing the enemy. This "city locking formation" did not have that great effect on Taiyuan Mansion.

"Zhifu Zhang, it seems that the enemy wants to hold on until we run out of food and grass! The enemy has been planning this for a long time."

Ma Kuo looked at Zhang Xiaochun and said.

"Oh, it's a pity that I submitted several letters but nothing happened!"

Zhang Xiaochun said helplessly that Ma Kuo came back from Daizhou. Ma Kuo told him several times that the Jin Kingdom was determined to invade the south. He wrote to Tokyo several times, hoping that Tokyo would make preparations earlier, but as a result, his Zhou Zhang There was no news when I went up.

"Zhifu Zhang, how long can we guard Taiyuan Mansion!"

Ma Kuo looked at Zhang Xiaochun and asked.

"Don't worry, I have been building Taiyuan Prefecture for a year, and I have raised the city wall by ten feet. There is enough food and grass in the city for half a year, and there are few civilians. They are all soldiers, so it is easy to manage. It shouldn't be a problem to defend the city."

Zhang Xiaochun said that his mission when he came to Taiyuan Mansion was to revitalize Taiyuan Mansion. The first thing he did was to strengthen Taiyuan Mansion, hoard food and grass, and recruit refugees.

"I heard that the Jin State has a trebuchet that can throw gunpowder. The enemy may not have brought it because they came in a hurry this time, but what if the enemy comes back to transport it after a long time?"

Ma Kuo looked at Zhang Xiaochun and said.

"This……"

Zhang Xiaochun's face changed slightly. The Jin soldiers who came this time did not have large weapons, so they just besieged the city without attacking. It would be different if they had weapons.

"These masonry and timber alone cannot stop the stone dumping truck."

Ma Kuo added.

"Of course I can't stop it!"

A powerful voice sounded.

"General Sun, you are here!"

Zhang Xiaochun immediately laughed when he saw the visitor. The visitor was Sun Xu, a famous general from Hedong.

Sun Xu was a famous general in Hedong. He was originally stationed in Shuozhou and later stationed in Guanxi. When the Jin soldiers invaded Daizhou, Sun Xu immediately led his troops to Taiyuan Prefecture to support him.

"If this group of golden soldiers has weapons, Taiyuan City cannot be defended."

Sun Xu looked at the enemies outside the city and said, he had seen how terrifying the Jin soldiers were. If they had the equipment, 40,000 people could capture Taiyuan Mansion in a few days.

"But haven't they attacked the city now?"

Zhang Xiaochun said.

"Zhifu Zhang, this time the Jin soldiers came lightly. Over at Juyong Pass, the Qi State fought fiercely. They even left the pass and killed tens of thousands of the main force of the Jin State a few days ago. Now the Jin Army outside the pass has retreated to Weizhou. This group of people It is difficult to have reinforcements in the future, and we cannot withstand too many casualties."

Sun Xu spoke.

"What should I do?"

Zhang Xiaochun said worriedly, there are only 3,000 defenders in Taiyuan Mansion now, and there are 40,000 gold troops outside, a gap of more than ten times. It will be difficult to defend the city if we really attack it. Taiyuan Mansion does not have many defensive equipment, and only a few can be used. The bricks and stones that built the city.

"I'll break out to find reinforcements!"

Sun Xu spoke.

"Reinforcements? Haven't Cai You and Liu Kai already brought troops?"

Zhang Xiaochun looked at Sun Xu and said.

"Cai You? You're a loser! Liu Kai, his abilities are limited! Can these two people defeat the Jin army?"

Sun Xu shook his head. “I don’t know, right?”

Zhang Xiaochun said.

"Don't you know what's going on?"

Sun Xu glanced at Zhang Xiaochun. Zhang Xiaochun was transferred from Tokyo and should know Cai You's reputation.

"What should I do?"

Ma Kuang said, if reinforcements can't solve the problem, how can Taiyuan Mansion be defended? The Jin Army's siege equipment may arrive soon.

"It's all my fault for that loser at Yanmen Pass. He abandoned the pass and surrendered when he saw the enemy. Yanmen Pass is in such a dangerous position that it can completely block the enemy."

Ma Kuo gritted his teeth and said that he thought Yanmen Pass could block the enemy, but it was broken in two days.

"I'm going to find Yao Pingzhong. He still has some elite troops there. They may be able to break the siege of Taiyuan!"

Sun Xu said, in addition to the Zhong Family Army, the Western Army also has the Yao Family Army. Although it is not as famous as the Zhong Family Army, it is second to none in the Western Army for its bravery in combat.

During this battle in Puzhou, Tong Guan transferred most of the Western troops away, but Yao Pingzhong's Yao army did not get any warning, because Yao Pingzhong had always disobeyed Tong Guan and never flattered him.

"Yao Pingzhong is in Guanzhong!"

Zhang Xiaochun said.

"This is the only way. Cai You and the others are marching too slowly. They haven't entered Hedong Road yet. I think they just don't dare to come. They can only go to Yao Pingzhong."

Sun Xu shook his head. If he had his way, he wouldn't do this.

"Then when will we leave the city? Now Taiyuan Mansion is heavily surrounded?"

Zhang Xiaochun pointed to the enemy fortifications outside the city and said, it is not easy to find reinforcements.

"Let's go tonight, I'll just take a small group of people."

Sun Xu sighed. He also knew that it would not be easy to break out of the encirclement, but now they had no other choice.

outside the city.

"Hasn't the trebuchet arrived yet?"

Wanyan Loushi asked irritably. They had been besieging Taiyuan Mansion for some days.

"Don't be anxious, just wait. The Juyongguan side just suffered a defeat and is probably still resting!"

Wanyan Zonghan said.

"Why don't you all just come over here! It's hard to fight over there in Qi State, but it's easy to fight over in Song State. Come over here, let's go straight to Tokyo. What does Qi State do?"

Wanyan Loushi said irritably that they had never taken advantage in the battle between Yanyun and Qi, but when they fought against Song, they were overwhelmingly powerful.

"Report, someone is out of the city!"

A soldier came to report.

"Want to go out and ask for help? Follow me and kill!"

Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Zonghan reacted immediately and rushed out with their troops.

Sun Xu led a dozen cavalry directly across the enemy's first ravine. The guarding Jin army immediately wanted to stop them, but Sun Xu was too fast and directly passed the soldiers and headed towards the second blockade.

"Surround them!"

The Jin army roared to surround the enemy.

"Go this way!"

Sun Xu did not dare to fight head-on, and led his men to kill towards the unoccupied place on the side. His purpose was to break out of the encirclement, not to kill the enemy.

"Don't let the enemy run away!"

An Yan Zonghan arrived with a gun. The BMW he was riding was very fast, and he directly chased Sun Xu's flank, swinging his gun and trying to stab Sun Xu to death.

Sun Xu was shocked. He didn't expect the enemy general to be so fast, so he hurriedly waved his gun to block.

"Don't kill this enemy general, capture him alive!"

Wanyan Loushi also led people to kill him, and when he saw the armor of Sun Xu's general, he shouted excitedly that if he could capture the enemy general, he would be able to break through Taiyuan Mansion.
