Emperor Sun made his fortune from scratch

The siege of Nanzheng by

the Wanshan Army is now the twenty-fifth day, and the city of Nanzheng has still not been breached.

These days, even on rainy days, Yang Xin has not stopped attacking the city. Every day, it takes at least half an hour to clean up the city walls and clean up the corpses, as well as a large number of severed hands and feet. As for those soldiers who were seriously injured and had not yet died, in order to save food, they could only wait quietly for death.

A few days before the siege, Shi Mu would have people clean up the blood stains on the city wall. Nowadays, there are blood stains everywhere, and even there is a smell of blood in the air, and I don't bother to clean it up.

The long-term siege battle scared many Wanshan soldiers stupidly. They had never experienced such a brutal battle, and they had never seen so many dead people.

Every day, they could hear the heart-rending screams of wounded soldiers. They are scared and afraid that they will become like this.

Some soldiers were cowardly and wanted to escape. For this reason, Yang Xin set up a team to kill cowardly soldiers.

Lu Boliang said to the generals: "Although Nanzheng has not been conquered, most of the defenders in the city have been killed and wounded, and the food in the city is about to run out. If the troops are withdrawn now, the previous achievements will be lost.

When the generals heard this, they felt that this was reasonable. Cheer up and continue to attack Nanzheng.

Yang Xin only had Nan Zheng in his eyes, and nothing else. Even if he knew that the two cities of Guangyan and Changxian had been attacked, he did not divide his troops and continued to concentrate his forces to attack Nanzheng.

In order to boost morale, Yang Xin did not spare money and food, and rewarded all the soldiers with a lot of money and food.

Lu Boliang is right, the current Nanzheng City is indeed extremely difficult.

At the beginning of the war, there were more than 10,000 soldiers in the city, but now only about 2,000 remain. Fortunately, Shi Mu had recruited all the young men in the city before. Qing Zhuang had participated in the defense of the city ten days ago, but because the training time was too short, Qing Zhuang was not as elite as the soldiers, and his casualties were even worse.

There was not only a shortage of people but also food in the city. Chu Zhongyun counted that the food in the city was barely enough to eat for about ten days.

At the moment, there was no other way but to try to defend the city, hoping that Jinling's reinforcements would arrive as soon as possible.

Wang Jing seems to spend every day in hell these days. He had only been to the city wall once, and when he saw a large number of dead people, he was immediately so frightened that he did not dare to go again. Every night, he wakes up in a nightmare. In the dream, Nanzheng was breached, and the Wanshan army broke into his mansion and cut him into eight pieces.

While Wang Jing was afraid, he also deeply hated Chen Ran, the assassin of Chengdu. From Jianmen Pass to Nanzheng, it takes less than five days to walk, and the rapid march will be faster.

But since the war broke out in Hanzhong, the Sword Gate Pass has never been opened. Chen Ran was like an old turtle, cowering in Shu.

The battle of Nanzheng, another week passed, and although Nanzheng City had not yet been breached, it was also crumbling.

Yang Xin gritted his teeth and continued to attack the city. Even if the Wanshan army suffered heavy casualties, even if Zhang Bao was unfortunately killed by an arrow, even if the food in the army could not last for a month, he would never withdraw his troops.

Someone in the army suggested before that it was possible to change the tactics of war, surround but not fight, and wait for the food in the city to run out, so it would naturally be broken without attacking, and Yang Xin felt that it made sense.

Lu Boliang resolutely objected, believing that Qi reinforcements were about to arrive in Hanzhong. If you don't break through Nanzheng as soon as possible, wait for reinforcements to arrive. and the defenders in the city should cooperate with the outside, and the Wanshan army will be extremely passive.

For a long time, Yang Xin's suggestions to Lu Boliang have basically been adopted. And every result also proves that Lu Boliang is right.

Although Yang Xin felt that it was very reasonable to surround but not fight. However, because of his trust in Lu Boliang, he still ordered to storm Nanzheng every day. Of the 40,000 soldiers and soldiers, more than 16,000 were killed or wounded. In the early days, half of the soldiers of Qinniuling had died in battle.

In Nanzheng City, it is also about to reach a critical time. Whether it is the defenders or the young and strong, the treatment of death has changed from nervousness and fear at the beginning to the current dazed and numb. There were people who didn't eat or drink all day, and sat on the city walls, not knowing what to think.

Shi Mu and Chu Zhongyun, the armor on their bodies has long been tattered, and there is no good armor in the city, so they can only wear it.

Even if you eat only two meals a day, after five days, the whole city will run out of food.

Everyone in the city wondered when the reinforcements would arrive, but unfortunately, no one knew the answer.

......................................

After Liu Sihong left Jinling, he knew that Nan Zheng was in danger and did not delay for a moment. Get on a warship and head up the river.

On the boat, Liu Sihong opened the secret letter given to him by Liu Zhijie, and after seeing the contents of the letter, he was surprised. I have to admire that my father's layout is so far-reaching.

Before setting off, Liu Sihong carefully understood the causes of the chaos in Hanzhong. Like many people, it is believed that the two brothers Zhang Xingyuan and Zhang Xingmao are cruel and indiscriminately kill innocents. In order to protect themselves, the cottages were forced to unite and resist the officers and soldiers, which led to such a crisis in Hanzhong.

But in fact, even if the two brothers Zhang Xingyuan didn't do anything, Hanzhong would be in chaos sooner or later.

Because the Liu family needs the chaos in Hanzhong, only in the chaos in Hanzhong can the Liu family have the opportunity to lead the army. After this war, Hanzhong will always be secretly controlled by the Liu family.

Even if His Majesty arranged Zhou Ruichen, it would not be of much use.

Liu Sihong was vague and could understand his father's approach. Over the years, Emperor Jiang Ningxian has secretly suppressed the Liu family, becoming more and more ruthless. His two brothers also moved from military to civilian. The original subordinates of the Liu family were all idle. If one day, the emperor will kill the Liu family, Hanzhong will become the last retreat of the Liu family.

In Jinling, the imperial capital, there are spies from all sides everywhere, and the layout is too difficult. So my father chose to lay out in Hanzhong, and sent someone to secretly enter Hanzhong two years ago, in order to be the situation today.

Liu Sihong let out a long sigh and burned the secret letter.

My father's plan is very good, but the premise is to win this battle first. In his opinion, Yang Xin was not to be feared, and his main opponent was the Wei army.

Emperor Wei is old, and in his lifetime, if he wants to capture Hanzhong, this is the last chance, and the Wei army will inevitably fight to the death.

Ask your subordinates in a few days how long it will take to get to Hanzhong. The subordinate said that it would take six days. Liu Sihong ordered the acceleration of the march while carefully studying the terrain of Hanzhong.

Six days later, the whole army finally arrived at the border of Hanzhong.

"Xia Baiwei, you lead 5,000 troops first and hurry to Nanzheng. If you can fight, you will fight, and if you can't fight, you will harass the thief army. I'll send you reinforcements later. Liu Sihong ordered.

Xia Baiwei was puzzled: "Won't the general go

to Nanzheng?" "Nanzheng is just a dead city, what am I going to do there?"

Lu County has not been breached until now, and Liu Sihong couldn't help but be surprised by this.

Instead of saving Wang Jing, a fool, it is better to rescue Yang Mingsheng first. After being rescued, you can also listen to this person's thoughts on the battle of Hanzhong.

Liu Sihong led more than 50,000 troops to Lu County to kill.

The battle of Luxian was also tragic, and most of the defenders in the city were killed and wounded. Fortunately, Yang Mingsheng had accumulated a large amount of food in the city before, and there was no worry about food shortage.

Yang Li himself is not a good general, and he is not good at attacking cities. Because Lu County could not be attacked for a long time, he whipped the soldiers many times, and the soldiers had no will to fight, and many of them fled.

On this day, Yang Li was depressed and drank in the camp. Unaware of the danger that was approaching him.
