When King Zhou heard the news, he was a little incredulous, and said to the three poisons: "How did you measure it." ”

"This Xianggong, you look carefully at your martial characters, this one is on it, which means that he is the most powerful brother among you, and this person, that one is full of evil spirits, which means that you want to kill each other, and I don't need to say the last word."

King Zhou smiled reluctantly and said to the three poisons: "You are a person, but you can be foolish, hahahaha." King Zhou laughed behind him, and he didn't want to laugh anymore, but looked at the three poisons and said, "Do you know that what you said will cause you to kill yourself." ”

"This, it's not that Poor Dao can consider it, Poor Dao took your hexagram money, so naturally you have to tell the truth. Poor Dao will not say any solution to deceive you. Rich ministers, what else do you have to ask. ”

"Aren't you cold in here in the depths of winter?"

Sanxin smiled and said to King Zhou: "We poor people have long been used to it, this cold is cold and does not die, you still don't believe it, this water is hotter than outside." ”

King Zhou smiled, stood up, and then said to the three poisons: "You better leave early, the temple will be rebuilt here, and when the time comes, if it is discovered by that group of monks, you will not have a good life." ”

King Zhou left the cave and returned to the front of the ruins, at this time a personal guard walked up to King Zhou and said to King Zhou: "Lord Wang, many people from the rivers and lakes have been going to Tongping City recently. ”

"No one knows about this, so go ahead." King Zhou asked the guards to leave, but he didn't care about this matter.

This time, the incident of Tongping City can be said to be a surprise to the Ghost Mansion, and many Ghost Mansion knights who have fallen into the grass go to Tongping City to support Tongping City.

In addition to placing these knights, Yuan Zhaoao also began to train strong men, these strong men were originally reluctant to be thieves, but Yuan Zhaoao took out money and silver, and Ding Xiangui also told them that when the court arrived, they would slaughter the city, whether they were thieves or not, they would be killed, rather than sit and wait to be killed, it was better to fight to the death.

Youyan Mansion was originally the land of Longxing in the Wei Dynasty, and these residents still had a trace of affection for the Wei Dynasty, so they either volunteered or were coerced, so they became thieves.

By the time of the beginning of spring, there were 30,000 soldiers in the entire Tongping City, and these 30,000 soldiers were divided into three parts. Yuan Zhaoao led the original men and horses of the Beijing Army, about 3,000 people. Ding Xiangui mastered the original box army in the city and the trained recruits, there were twenty-three thousand, and the remaining four thousand were the stragglers in the vicinity of the ghost mansion, and some were also bandits, their original cottage was picked by Li Haiyu, and they could only live in various places. They can fall into the grass, and basically, they have no chance to be ordinary people. And they are used to spending a lot of money in the cottage, living a big scale of gold, a big bowl of drinking, and now they want to let them live a life without seeing oil and water for a year, they are naturally unwilling.

Now that they have come to join, they are also looking for a place to live and enjoy, anyway, they are used to going against the imperial court, and even if the ghost mansion fails, they can also choose to escape.

This time there was no equal distribution, and it was also because of the uneven quality of this group of people, the Beijing Army and they had to use it as an elite, it was a sharp knife in the city, and Ding Xiangui was the middle force, and when the time came, it would be up to Ding Xiangui to defend the city. The last so-called Guiyi Army is a reserve, and there is basically nothing to expect. The leaf owl restrained them so that they could not cause trouble for themselves.

Of course, the most important thing this time was the students of Jixian Academy, among whom Wei Yishang took several students to Tongping City to assist in logistics work.

This is really important to the Wei army in Tongping City, now that there are more people, everyone has to eat, and there are naturally people to plan the daily use.

The students brought by Wei Yishang were all proficient in calculations, and they quickly registered and began to arrange the food consumption in an orderly manner so as not to cause unnecessary waste.

This winter, the entire Tongping City is in full swing, from the initial gibberish to slowly becoming orderly, Ye Yinglu and others can be regarded as having put in their efforts.

The fifth year of Zhaoning soon arrived, and on the seventeenth day of the first month, the sage personally awarded the talisman to Concubine Ping, who mobilized the 50,000 Caifeng troops guarding the capital to fight the rebellion.

Concubine Ping and her entourage arrived in Changhe City on February 12, prepared in Changhe City for three days, and led the army north on February 15.

On February 22, Concubine Ping led an army of 80,000 to the city of Tongping.

Ye Linggu and others climbed high and looked into the distance, only to see that the world was vast, and they were all the military flags of the Yu Dynasty. Hundreds of miles of joint camp, 10,000 soldiers wandering.

After Ye Linggu and the others finished observing, they returned to the county yamen and held a meeting.

Ding Xiangui said: "This time, the Yu army is considered to have dispatched the elite, and it seems that they are going to completely wipe us out." ”

"Although the city of Tongping City has been strengthened over time, it is a small city after all, and it can't stop these soldiers." Yuan Zhaoao knew that the enemy would come, and he also knew that the Yu Dynasty would send elites, but when he saw the dense soldiers outside, he was not afraid that it was fake.

Ye Yishang looked at Wei Yishang, and Wei Yishang said to everyone: "The enemy has returned, we have been prepared for a long time, and now that we have diverted the moat, it is more difficult for them to attack than last year." Moreover, the trees outside have been cut down, and it is difficult for them to make siege equipment. They need time, and we need time. There are 80,000 of them, and the food they eat every day is not to be underestimated. As long as we can survive three months, they will definitely retreat. ”

When Wei Yishang said this, he said to them, "Guys, I don't know if you have the confidence to survive three months? ”

"Three months is not difficult, now that the city has enough supplies, they want to attack, I'm afraid it will take half a month later." In order to enliven the atmosphere, Ding Xiangui laughed first.

Ye Linglu looked at the map and said to them: "This Yu Dynasty is still the same, using the method of encircling three and missing one. The layout of the Caifeng army is the same as that of Youwang, and the remaining 30,000 box troops are lost at the north gate, although it seems that the north gate has the thickest defense, but these box army battles really cannot be compared with the forbidden army. If we want to win, we can only impact this aspect. ”

In the barracks of the Yu army, Concubine Ping said to everyone: "When will the siege equipment be delivered?" ”

"Qi Yu Niangniang, it will be delivered in about five days." A general soldier spoke.

Concubine Ping nodded and said to them, "Now that they have a moat, I don't know what countermeasures you have?" ”

"Now that I have a lot of soldiers, it's no problem to break his moat, mother, it's just that we need to suppress the people in the city and not let them interfere."

Concubine Ping nodded, and said to the chief soldier: "Yan Wuji, if you are sure, you can do it." ”

Yan Wuji said an order, and then left the tent, looking at the surrounding terrain, thinking that the topographic map he saw really didn't lie to himself.

Yan Wuji immediately found a thousand soldiers and asked them to dig a ditch next to the small river on the east side of Tongping City. In addition, Yan Wuji also found nearby farmers and promised them 100 yuan a day for each of them, and asked them to help as well.

The 1,000 people started work overnight, and by the afternoon of the next day, the ditch that was tens of miles long was completed.

Next, Yan Wuji began to dig this ditch into the moat, this place is not suitable for many people to work, this time it is a hundred people, every time they dig a pit, they put a water-soaked wooden board on it, so as not to shoot arrows from it.

This is also because the land of Youyan Mansion is relatively fertile, and it is not possible to make a hole in the ground, as soon as the bottom is hollowed out, then the top will collapse, so I have to do this.

They started construction like this, and the Ye Hawks and others in the city would naturally find out that after the Leaf Hawks went up the city wall, the Leaf Hawks looked outside and said, "What are they?" Dig a tunnel to get in? ”

"No, they're trying to put water in the moat." Yuan Zhaoao was very familiar with these siege methods, so he said to Ye Ying.

"So what should we do?"

Yuan Zhaoao was silent for a while, and said to Ye Yingyu: "There is no way to do this, General Ye, if there are many troops in the city, you can put down the drawbridge, rush out, and stop them." But you look there. ”

Yuan Zhaoao pointed to the crossbow array in Dongying, and said to Ye Yingguo: "Their range is one hundred and fifty paces, and we went out of the moat and almost entered their range. "Yuan Zhaoao is helpless, there are really not many archers on their side, and they are not enough to suppress the opposite side.

Ding Xiangui thought for a while, and said to Ye Lingguo: "General Ye, this is not in a hurry, even if they drain the river, it will not have much impact." They will have to build ladders to cross the river. ”

The advantage of having water in this moat is that if the enemy army falls into the river, then it will be a dead end, and the corpses will float, and these corpses will become a new barrier, after all, the floating corpses cannot be used as pontoons.

If there is no water, you may not die if you fall, after all, there is mud underneath, and the enemy can also fill a path with corpses.

Ye Linglu nodded worriedly, convened the meeting again, and told everyone that the enemy was coming prepared this time, and they should think of a proper way to deal with it.

Ding Xiangui looked at the map and said to Ye Lingyu: "Originally, we were going to defend the city, but now it seems that the other party has already prepared." ”

"Sticking to it is not a way, and now we can only find a way to frustrate their spirit." Ye Linggu pointed to the north and said, "Find an opportunity to teach them a good lesson." ”

"Three generals, Xiaosheng is foolish, now that we have a favorable location, why don't we continue to win in this city?" Wei Yi still didn't know why they kept thinking about attacking, and now in this situation, as long as they can hold it, isn't it okay?

Ye Linglu explained: "The army of this Yu Dynasty has not yet been dispatched, and in Youyan Mansion, he still has 20,000 army troops and more than 100,000 Xiang troops, even if they lose more, they can be replenished." ”l0ns3v3
