After many days of running around, it was rare to get a good night's sleep, when the sky was slightly bright, Chang Yu turned over and went to the courtyard to stretch his waist and feel refreshed, seeing that Wu Zhong was teaching Tu Yuan to practice knives, Chen Wangting was instructing the two nephews, and Jiang Fa was practicing bow shooting with Guo Ren......

After warming up with the enemy's fist, Chang Yu pointed at Wu Zhong: "That guy came over and was beaten."

Wu Zhong sneered and said I have been waiting for you for a long time, and the long knife in his hand was thrown over......

The squire was gracious, prepared breakfast and sent it personally, Chang Yu washed up and started to eat and thanked him repeatedly, the squire had never met such a polite official, and he was very happy to pull the little eunuch to keep the parents short, and when he was emotional, he howled and cried, it turned out that several women in the family were insulted by the thief army and looked for a short time.

Everyone was furious when they heard this, Wu Zhong slammed the bowl to the ground, and yelled to go to Baoding City to kill Liu Fangliang, and the little eunuch was stunned: "Good man, have a good trip......

The guards came to report that Huang Degong and Gao Jie had each led 5,000 troops to Jizhou in the morning, leaving a message to Chang Yu, it was not practical to break the city before noon, but to welcome the governor into the city before sunset.

Chang Yu couldn't help laughing, this place is thirty miles away from Jizhou, and it takes an hour for the infantry to march with baggage, and it is unrealistic to say that breaking the city before noon is to provoke the generals.

The show is about to start, Chang Yu wants to go to the city to observe and learn, hurriedly lead the crowd out of the city, the second battalion under his command has been outside the city to wait for orders, and then send troops to Jizhou.

Along the way, you can see Huang Degong and Gao Jie's two troops marching in a hurry, the cavalry vanguard is already ten miles away, and the rear is infantry and baggage, Chang Yu deliberately went around to see it, climbing ladders, stone throwers, siege vehicles and even artillery.

The second battalion under the command of Dongchang is all cavalry, one of which is still heavily armoured, the momentum is like a rainbow, and the murderous spirit has attracted the envy of the rest of the officers and soldiers, and they have pointed and discussed: "They have killed thieves in Taiyuan and Tartars outside the Guan, and they are so awesome ......"

Fan Jiaqian told Chang Yu that there was no stop outside the city overnight last night, and the spies of the thief army tried to investigate the nearest several times, and after being discovered, they started to fight, and it was not until dawn that they returned to calm.

Obviously, the thieves in Jizhou City were very surprised and strongly worried about the surprise attack of the officers and soldiers, the two cities were less than thirty miles apart, and at such a close distance, there were officers and soldiers watching him next to the couch, how could he sleep peacefully.

Changyu horse fast, a stick of incense kung fu is not enough, see a big lake in the distance in front of the boundless, know that it is Jizhou Lake (later called Hengshui Lake) across the lake can see that there is a city on the west side, it is Jizhou City (the ancient Jizhou City is in the area of Beiguan Village on the west side of Hengshui Lake, and now Jizhou City is on the south bank of the lake)

The group detoured from the south bank of Jizhou Lake to the city, and saw that Huang Degong and Gao Jie's men and horses were circling the city to investigate, and at the same time shouted to the city to persuade them to surrender.

Jizhou, the head of Kyushu in ancient times, was a country has a history of more than two years, built in the Western Han Dynasty during the Gao Emperor period, when it was already a twelve-mile city, to the Song Dynasty has expanded to twenty-five miles, Yuan, Ming Dynasty and two dynasties have been added and repaired, larger than the general city, like Taiyuan Mansion is only twenty-four in circumference!

In addition to being big and strong enough, the city wall is eight meters high, the widest part of the bottom and top is up to 30 meters and 10 meters, the absolute height of the city wall is thick, the copper wall is ironclad, if there is no large siege equipment, it is extremely difficult to break the city in one fell swoop!

Gao Jie was shouting and persuading the thieves in the city to surrender under the west gate, and Huang Degong saw Chang Yu arriving and went forward to greet and report the situation: there were at least 3,000 thieves in the city, and there were two in the southwest, and there were four artillery pieces in the city, and the rest was unknown.

Chang Yu was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said to Huang Degong: "The governor is not good at attacking the city, the difficulty of attacking such a big city can be imagined, and the governor can not give much advice, but the sages have clouds, and it is the best strategy to surrender the army without a fight, and it may not necessarily be a strong attack."

Huang Degong sighed: "What do you mean?" ”

The little eunuch rolled his eyes: "That is to say, if you can surrender, you will surrender, and it is not too late to attack rather die than surrender."

Huang Degong understood now, the thief army passed all the way, and those officials and soldiers who were afraid of death and fear of war all surrendered, and it is not excluded that there are also court officials and soldiers who originally surrendered in Jizhou City.

"Deceive them first and don't blame the past, sacrifice the city is meritorious, and then settle the account after leaving the city!" Chang Yu said hatefully.

At this time, Gao Jie also came over, and when he heard this, he interjected: "I'm afraid that some of these bandits may not be able to surrender easily."

"So first come to a wave of onslaught to brighten the strength, and then persuade the effect to surrender will be better, this governor also has this little suggestion, as for how to fight up to the two of you decide, this governor is a spectator today" After speaking, he clamped his legs and led his relatives to run towards the north of the city.

Jizhou is a big city near and far, and there are many surrounding villages, but due to the recent military disasters, many people have fled or been coerced by the thief army to go north, plus the officers and soldiers besieged the city early in the morning and ran early.

Chang Yu circled the city for half a circle and couldn't help but feel worried, this kind of city was really difficult to fight in the era of cold weapons, and he was a little irritable in his heart and went to Jizhou Lake by the reins.

Jizhou Lake nearly 300 square kilometers, vast and boundless, at this time it is the alternation of spring and summer, although the lake water is not full of drought year after year, the shore is still green grass, the willow is shady, but it is refreshing and pleasant, and the water and horses are also comfortable here.

Chang Yu and his entourage of more than ten people walked by the lake, it seemed that the years were quiet, but who would have thought that the city behind him would fall into the smoke of the golden iron horse sword at any time.

The siege of the city is not as simple as chopping vegetables, Huang Degong and Gao Jie must wait for the baggage troops to be ready while negotiating with the city, and wait until the siege troops are in place before they can start fighting, so they can't fight in an hour or two.

At this time, Chang Yu had time to visit the scenery of Jizhou Lake.

Unconsciously, I traveled a few miles to the northeast along the lake, and encountered several small villages that were empty, and I couldn't even get saliva, Chang Yu and the others were about to go to the lake to get water when they suddenly heard the sound of fighting in the dense forest in the north, thinking that it was the enemy and our spies fighting, and everyone immediately turned over and got on their horses to support.

Passing through the dense forest, everyone was stunned, it turned out that behind the dense forest was also a lake, and there was a small island in the lake full of bamboo forests, and the fight came from the bamboo forest.

At this time, the lake dried up and the island was connected by land, and everyone rushed to the island, but saw that the bamboo forest on the island was lush but there were ruins everywhere, and more than ten people were trembling in those ruins.

To be exact, more than ten people are beating a man, a woman and a young man, obviously a family of three.

The man was in his thirties, tall and strong, and he protected his wife and children with his own strength, fighting more than ten people with his bare hands, although he was not afraid of many colors on his body, and then looking at the sharp weapons in the hands of more than ten people, the identity of the non-official and non-civilian was unknown, and even Chang Yu couldn't figure out whether it was the enemy spies or the scouts of the officers and soldiers, or the ruffians, and even the soldiers in civilian clothes who were taking the fugitives.

Seeing Chang Yu and his party appear, the two parties who were fighting immediately stopped and looked over here, and the middle-aged man frowned, obviously very worried!

"Brother, which way?" The group of people shouted at Chang Yu and his party, and it was obvious that they couldn't figure out what these people were coming from, whether they were friends or enemies.
