Overgod Ascension
Chapter 316 Siege
Dingzhou is one of the 19 states in the Zhou Dynasty and is divided into seven counties: Rinan, Zhuwu, Jiude, Pingshan, Dingyuan, Chufeng and Nanfeng!
Since Huang Jie's rebellion ushered in the troubled times, the states and counties have gradually lost control. Refugees have caused chaos, vassal towns have risen, and dragons and snakes have appeared in large numbers.
Previously, Dinghou governed Dingyuan County and Qi Lin governed Pingshan County. They were famous vassal towns in Dingzhou.
But now, their limelight has been overshadowed by the reputation of Wu Pheasant, the military commander of the Nanfeng Army.
No matter how outsiders slander her, it is extremely unbelievable that this woman, as a member of the female stream, has boldly embarked on the road to conquer the world, and even unified two counties.
And in the sixth year of Ping'an, after he worshiped the sky and prayed for rain and obtained the destiny, he even brazenly listed the ten major crimes of Dinghou of Dingyuan County and sent out an army of 20,000 to attack him!
For a time, the situation in Dingzhou was surging, and even many eyes from all over the world noticed this place.
Pingshi County.
The two counties of Chu, Feng, and Nanfeng are in the south of Dingzhou. They are separated from Dingyuan County by Rinan County. If they want to attack, this nail must be pulled out.
Within the county seat, the county magistrate, the county magistrate, and the county lieutenant were wearing armor. Looking at the densely packed army of tens of thousands below, their hands and feet felt weak.
"Listen, our army only wants to use the road to attack Dingyuan. It is not too late to open the city gate now. My Lord is kind and promises not to violate Qiu, otherwise it will be too late to regret it. Don't say that you didn't predict it!"
Below, several cavalry generals were still shouting.
"What nonsense!"
Huang Ziping, the magistrate on the city wall, was so angry that he blushed: "How courageous she is. Wu Zhi secretly lives in two counties. It is a lucky thing that the court did not send troops to attack. Now she actually dares to start a provocation without permission. Is she going to rebel if she attacks our imperial counties?"
After saying this, the officials below all looked at each other: Isn't this just a rebellion?
This matter, fifty or even twenty years ago, would have been a major event that shocked the world, but now, it is really nothing.
In troubled times, the concept of a strong soldier and a strong horse has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The reason why they are still standing here is not because they have the responsibility to defend the city, but because their families are young and old. The ancestral temple and mansion are still in the city, that's all.
"I'll give you one day to think about it, I'll just borrow the way!"
The cavalry generals below whistled away, and the three armies roared like mountains, which even shocked the officials on the city wall to turn pale.
"The county magistrate... is just an excuse..."
The official hesitated and said: "The Nanfeng Army Jiedu Envoy has nothing to say that he has been dishonest... maybe..."
"Confused!"
The county magistrate immediately blew his beard and glared, and glanced at the county magistrate behind the official, knowing that it must be this person's instruction, and it was also the intention of some families in the city.
The Wu family is the county magistrate, and it was previously said that they could not keep in touch with these big families, but Qiu Wufei can really do it.
They only wanted to protect their own property and life, and naturally they would not care about the consequences of losing the city to him, the county magistrate.
"Never take advantage of it!"
Huang Ziping set the tone, whoever believes in Nanfengjun's promise is a fool! Once the army enters the city, can it turn the world upside down? It's up to people to decide how they want to handle it.
He was able to be a county magistrate and had certain talents. He said loudly: "Dinghou was conferred by the imperial court. He has governed for two generations and has a clear reputation. The imperial court and the state pastor will not sit idly by. I have received three hundred letters from the county." Li sent urgent documents. The imperial court has delegated power and ordered the governor to rectify the state soldiers. As long as he persists for three days, the reinforcements from the county will arrive. If he persists for one month, the state's army will gather. They will be able to repel the siege and seize the throne. The daughter of Si Chen, the hen, will be taken down for questioning!"
"Three days?!"
To be honest, even if the Wu family is the county magistrate, there are still many people who don't think highly of Wu Pheasant. Even the big families in the county are not of the same mind.
Especially now, when I hear that county soldiers will arrive for reinforcements in three days, and that the imperial army will arrive in one month, the officials who opened their mouths suddenly turned pale.
But the county magistrate looked at his nose and his heart, as if it had nothing to do with him, which made Huang Ziping secretly curse the old fox.
At this time, he didn’t argue with him and directly asked the county captain Xiang Fu: “How many soldiers do we have in our county?”
The county lieutenant was in charge of the military power. Even though Xiang Fu had followed a civilized path before, he now had a bit of evil on his face: "There are 800 soldiers in the county, fully equipped with weapons. In addition, there are 500 local braves! I will fight to the death against the thieves." in the end!"
This Xiang Yong was actually Xiang Fu's own strength. When he showed it out at this time, it surprised others.
"Okay! That's 1,300 soldiers!"
Huang Ziping was overjoyed: "Master Xiang is indeed a loyal minister of the imperial court!"
He doesn't care whether this person is a person from Dinghou, a person from the state, or a die-hard loyalist who is stupid at studying. As long as the other party resists resolutely, that's enough!
With this military power, he immediately felt confident. He looked at the officials below: "More than a thousand elite soldiers are sworn to defend this Pingshi City for us. Don't each family have some expressions?"
Several family heads were shocked, and they immediately knew that if there was no blood at this time, Huang Ziping would really dare to kill someone. Their faces were as pale as if they were cutting flesh: "We are willing to work hard!"
Defending the city in a deadly battle consumes a lot of money. We have to use wine and meat every day, and we must not leave behind all kinds of materials and medicines.
"The troops?"
Huang Ziping said coldly: "That's not enough! The warriors from Sifang Township still know how to help defend the city. Is your loyalty not as good as that of a common man in the mountains?"
"I'm willing to help others!"
After hearing this, the others had no choice but to agree on how many young men they would provide, and then the matter was finally revealed.
…
"Uncle! I'm afraid this won't work!"
As soon as they got off the city wall, a person behind the county magistrate said: "No matter how elite the county soldiers and state soldiers are, if they don't arrive today, they will be unable to save the fire from afar!"
"That's the truth, but Mr. Huang is very loyal. What can you do to him?"
The county magistrate narrowed his eyes: "Let's fight! Let's fight! We can make plans after the first battle!"
But he knew in his heart that the county magistrate and the county captain had reached an agreement. Unless all the big families in the city joined forces, there would be no overwhelming power.
Unless an attack occurs and the defenders suffer heavy losses, each family will be alienated. This is another opportunity.
…
On the second day, the siege began.
"kill!"
Nanfeng's soldiers roared, held up their shields, pushed earthen carts, and carried ladders toward the city wall.
"There are some capable people in Pingshi County!"
This time the commander was Chen Jingzong. With the help of Wu Ming, he was able to get rid of all the hidden dangers. At this time, he returned to his old views and became a true military strategist. This was the time to be high-spirited.
And he has made many meritorious deeds, and now he has become a fifth-level guerrilla general, with 5,000 men under his command.
Next to him is his nephew Chen Shuncheng, who is now the seventh grade Zhiguo captain and a general of the first guard with 500 people.
Everything about Nanfeng's military system was inherited from the past, except that above Captain Zhiguo, there was Captain Zhaowu of the sixth rank, who led a thousand people and was called the commander of the capital.
Basically, there are five troops and one team, two troops and one team, five teams and one team, two teams and one battalion, five battalions and one guard, two guards and one capital, and five capitals and one army! Two and five bases form an army and are clearly distinguishable.
Only a guerrilla general who is the leader of an army, leads five thousand men, and is a fifth-grade guerrilla general can truly reach the position of general. In words, he can be called the "last general". All other lieutenants are "humble positions."
Names and utensils should not be faked by others. As a Jiaolong who aspires to the world of Hunyuan, Wu Pheasant was quite cautious in choosing famous utensils at the beginning.
Chen Jingzong pointed to the city head: "Look, it will be courageous for the three armies. If the county captain dares to set up the city head, the soldiers below will dare to take arrows... This is not easy. You must remember this after you go down. , you must also be careful with your soldiers, undress them, push them to feed them... Only then can you win over your soldiers' strength!"
This was his estimation. With Wu Zhi's temperament and the military and political system, they would never be able to accommodate their uncle and nephew in the same army, and they would definitely be transferred out in the future.
Otherwise, this nephew would never be able to get promoted in his whole life, so now he would naturally have to impart his experience to others.
"Uncle, don't worry!"
Chen Shuncheng smiled: "I have memorized this kind of military art by the time I was three years old!"
"Nonsense! Now in the army, you should be called a general!"
Chen Jingzong's face darkened: "I'll go to the military judge later and receive five whips!"
"I'm... I'm humble and obey my orders! General!" Chen Shuncheng's face froze, almost turning red, and his airway was blocked.
Seeing this scene, Chen Jingzong sighed secretly in his heart.
The words and sex I heard before were due to the fact that my life was not going to be long.
But now that there are still a lot of good days to live, it is natural to slowly sharpen this boy.
"Order... the soldiers to retreat for now, the bow and arrow battalion to suppress, the stone artillery team to step forward!"
Chen Jingzong waved his hand, and as soon as the army's offensive stopped, arrows rained like locusts, and a group of artillery troops came forward.
Naturally, there are trebuchets in this world, but unlike ordinary trebuchets, this artillery army uses one more tool - a counterweight. The important parts are also polished with metal, giving it a ferocious smell.
This is a trebuchet designed by Chen Jingzong himself. It can be said to be the pinnacle of cold weapons in terms of performance. It can throw hundreds of kilograms of boulders onto the city wall.
Unless gunpowder and Taoist magical powers are further developed, there will be no one left unmatched in the battlefield.
Since ancient times, weapons have not been divided into different families. As the heir of a military strategist, he naturally has accumulated several kinds of important military weapons on hand. This catapult is just the same as the most basic ones.
If he had some selfish thoughts before, but after Wu Ming gave him medicine to cure his old illness, he became like "a scholar dies for his confidant."
This is normal, otherwise if he just slapped his ass and left, everyone in the world would be ashamed of him, and no lord would be willing to accept him again.
After all, they would all think, ‘Wu Pheasant was so kind to me in saving my life before, but if this person can still rebel, or if he doesn’t try his best, what else can I win over? ’
Under this value system, the blow to a half-hearted person is almost fatal.
At this time, even if Chen Jingzong has any other thoughts in his heart, he must bury them all and work hard for Wu Pheasant!
Wu Zhi was also unquestioning in his employment, and was directly promoted to a guerrilla general, commanding an army of five thousand to besiege Pingshi County.
"Up the boulder!"
Huge boulders weighing hundreds of kilograms were transported on wooden logs and pried to the side of the trebuchet.
"hair!"
Along with Chen Jingzong's roar, the main shaft of the trebuchet let out an overwhelmed scream, and the counterweight fell hard, throwing out the huge boulder on the other side.
boom!
