Nanzhou, Linzhou and other five-state coalition forces stationed ten miles outside Cangzhou City.
They didn't dare to get too close. If they got close, Wei Liang and others would let them taste the taste of the cannon in red; It's like cutting leeks.
It stands to reason that the two sieges did not gain any benefits at all, and they suffered such a large loss without even touching the enemy. The ordinary army has long been demoralized and defeated, and the opponent can still calm down. Hold on, either the opponent's army is cohesive, or the opponent's commander is a chick...
Chen Qing used a high-powered telescope to see their actions clearly on the city wall. Without food, the opponent's general was decisive and killed horses to eat. Although this move could temporarily solve the problem of hunger, it was equivalent to The cavalry was completely abandoned, and it seemed that they wanted to hold on until the reinforcements to transport food arrived.
He couldn't bear to tell them that their reinforcements could not come back. When they finished eating the horse meat and were hungry, dizzy, and exhausted, General Wei would order the city gates to be opened and lead the energetic and well-armed troops to the city. The new army, bombard them with heavenly punishment, bombard them with red cannons, and give them the last blow.
The people of Cangzhou City finally felt relieved. Although when the enemy attacked the city, the rumbling noise outside made people panic, and the city was full of chaos, but His Highness won, and the victory was so easy. They finally gained confidence in their hearts.
Li Duan is also relieved, he has learned all the kung fu that his aunt taught him before leaving, and he will not be spanked because she can't do business when she comes back...
At this time, it was already the third day of the five-state coalition attacking the city.
On the top of the city, Wei Liang took back his binoculars and said: "Their horses have been eaten up, and they started digging wild vegetables this morning to satisfy their hunger. They will starve them for three days. After three days, they will go out of the city to meet the enemy!"
General Fan curled his lips, "Welcome to me, three days later, they still have the strength to hold weapons, I will be convinced!"
He walked to the edge of the city wall and said, "It's almost time, let it go."
"yes!"
Several guards responded, and lowered a giant screen made of cloth from the city wall.
Not long after, a fast horse galloped into the barracks outside the city.
After a while, a general walked into the main tent and said in a deep voice: "General Pang, some scouts came back just now, saying that they wrote on the city wall..."
The middle-aged man frowned: "What word?"
Na opened his lips and said with difficulty: "Surrender without killing!"
General Pang slammed the table and said angrily, "Bastard!"
"General, we have run out of food. The soldiers haven't eaten well for the past few days. Many people are vomiting and diarrhea. Those who went back to transport the food, why haven't they come back..."
A gloomy look appeared on General Pang's face, and he said, "I have sent someone to check it out, and there will be news within two days at most..."
"However, the soldiers can't wait for two days. From yesterday to today, there have been hundreds of deserters..." The general looked at him and murmured: "General, retreat, Cangzhou is no longer the Cangzhou it used to be." We can't take it down..."
Clang!
General Pang drew out the long knife hanging on the side, put it on his neck, widened his eyes, and said angrily: "Say it again, this general will kill you for the crime of disturbing the morale of the army!"
The general's face turned pale, and he immediately said: "Forgive me, General!"
General Pang took the long knife away from his neck, and said, "Pass down the order to make a surprise attack on Cangzhou at midnight tonight!"
"yes!"
Na Pianjiang walked out of the tent, wiped a trace of blood on his neck, his face was slightly gloomy.
Outside the tent.
The soldiers patrolling the battalion were pale and moved slowly. The weapons in their hands fell on the ground, and they bent down to pick them up with difficulty, like a walking corpse.
In the camps everywhere, the sound of wailing has not stopped for the past few days.
In a certain tent, dozens of people gathered together, all of them were sallow and disheveled.
One of them took a sip of saliva and said weakly: "What on earth is the general thinking? Obviously there is no food, why don't you retreat!"
As soon as these words came out, several voices came from inside the tent.
"Yeah, I said it three days ago, the rear escort team will arrive soon, soon..., it will be three days soon, and the wild vegetables and bark near the camp have been eaten up, how can they Still not coming?"
"Didn't Brother Qi just say that, he saw it with his own eyes, a banner was hung on the city wall of Cangzhou, surrendering is not to be killed, and there are meat to eat, those who surrender in the past are counted as military merit..."
"It's true..."
…
"Shut up!" A person came in from outside the account and shouted angrily.
The people in the account shivered one after another, retracted their heads, and whispered: "General."
Discussing the topic of defecting to the enemy in the army is a capital offense, just like those deserters. After being captured, their heads hang in front of the battle. If they were not the general's personal guards, they would have knelt down and begged for mercy.
The general looked at them and said, "Who gave your dogs the guts to discuss this in the camp!"
"General, this subordinate knows his mistake!" Several people knelt on the ground and said in unison.
Na Pianjiang stood on the spot, looked at them, and after a while, said: "Qi San, follow me."
The scout named Qi San was called to another camp, and everyone in the tent looked at each other with flickering eyes.
After a while, the scout named Qi San returned to the tent, and after another half an hour, everyone in this tent came out of the tent and walked into other military tents...
…
On the city wall of Cangzhou City, Wei Liang took the arrow from a guard, took a paper tube from the end of the arrow branch, and threw it to General Fan with a smile on his face.
"I was thinking about sending someone over at Zishi to break through the city wall quietly. It's a good idea." General Fan glanced at his mouth and said, "Tell my brothers, cheer up this general tonight!"
It's night, midnight.
The moon was dark and the wind was high, the night sky was starless, and the entire city of Cangzhou was shrouded in a huge darkness.
Outside the city wall, a black shadow walked slowly, approaching the city wall.
"God helped me too..." After the crowd, General Pang looked at the pitch-black night and ordered: "After entering the city cave, do everything possible to hollow out the city wall and let other people cover and attack the city..."
"Gu..." There was a strange voice in my ear.
The person beside him held his stomach and whispered, "General, I'm sorry, I can't control my stomach..."
General Pang frowned, glared at his personal guard, and said, "Be patient for a while, and when you enter the city, you can eat as much as you want..."
As soon as he finished speaking, large areas of fire suddenly lit up on the city wall.
He was only stunned for a moment, and then immediately said: "Siege the city!"
puff!
The sound of sharp knives piercing flesh.
General Pang was very familiar with this voice, because just a few days ago, when he plunged the knife into the chest of the general who disturbed the morale of the army, it was the same voice.
At this moment, another general stood behind him, leaned close to his ear, and said: "General, I'm sorry, your Majesty wants you to live if you want to capture Cangzhou, but we also want to live..."
"Follow Her Royal Highness, you can live and eat meat..." He slowly pulled out the knife and said, "So, please, general, die..."
General Pang clutched his chest, the brilliance in his eyes had frozen.
The general threw down the blood-stained long knife and said loudly: "General Pang is dead, we are willing to surrender!"
Hundreds of soldiers beside him put down their weapons at the same time and said in unison: "General Pang is dead, we are willing to surrender!"
Farther behind, countless people stared blankly at the front, looked at the group of people kneeling down, heard the voice of "General Pang is dead", after a short moment of stupefaction, they also put down their weapons and knelt down on the ground...
"Can't drop!"
"Can't drop!"
"You are treason..."
…
There were also many different voices, but these voices did not last long before being drowned out by the voices around them...
