Peng Guo, Yuhang County.
The towering city wall stretches across the wilderness like a crouching dragon, and most places are covered with thick bluestone bricks. Even in the entire Gyeonggi region, Yuhang is one of the largest cities.
Three hundred years ago, the first Pengzi became a vassal here. From then on, Yuhang County was the capital of Peng State and the county seat of Yutang County.
At its most glorious time, the Peng Kingdom covered more than a hundred counties and was a proper third-class vassal state. However, Datong had not yet declined at that time. Peng Hou was dismissed because he did not respect the king's orders. From then on, it was difficult to restore its former glory. When he became the emperor of Datong In order to check and balance Zhou Liang, Peng Guo's life became even worse after he was entrusted with the Jin Kingdom, and he was reduced to the current situation.
At this time, nearly 40,000 defeated troops from Peng and Shu were relying on the fortified city of Yuhang County to wait for reinforcements. However, no one knew where the reinforcements were. The messengers set out in waves, bringing out hope again and again.
Now that Yuhang County has been surrounded for more than ten days, both the military morale and the morale of the people in the city have declined. If it weren't for the towering city walls of Yuhang County that gave them enough sense of security, Peng Zi might have surrendered.
Fierce sounds of fighting resounded below the city. Waves of golden soldiers roared and charged towards Yuhang County. More than a dozen watchtowers were particularly conspicuous among the siege teams. The soldiers standing on them fired the arrows in their hands without hesitation. It was shot onto the city, causing bursts of wailing.
On the tallest wooden tower, Liu Jie, the leader of the Jin Kingdom, looked gloomy. Although his own soldiers had the absolute upper hand and their morale was still high, there was still an indescribable feeling in Liu Jie's heart that made him feel very irritable.
There were countless craftsmen busy in the Jin Army camp. Instead of long ladders, siege equipment such as ladder trucks were brought out, and there were countless carts that felled and transported nearby trees.
For more than ten days, although the Peng-Shu coalition had a certain advantage in strength, they still dared not go out of the city to fight. The army, which had lost its courage, was like a plate of sand. Liu Jie was not worried about the battle situation, and the casualties of the troops were bearable. Within the scope, the ominous feeling in my heart could not be gone away.
After watching for a long time, Liu Jie finally lost interest, waved his hand and said: "This is the order for all armies to call it a day and withdraw their troops."
Lu Zhou, the commander of the former army, was shocked and asked quickly: "Your Majesty, you can't. The morale is strong at this moment, and Peng Shu's remnant army will find it difficult to resist. As long as we persist for a little longer, we will have a chance to break the situation."
Sima Liudang of the Chinese army also stepped forward and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the soldiers have been working hard for many days, and the city must be broken today. If the troops retreat at this time, if someone takes the opportunity to spread rumors, the consequences will be disastrous."
Liu Jie felt even more upset when he heard that, and said in a cold voice: "I have decided to withdraw my troops for the time being!"
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the audience, leaving Liu Dang and Lu Zhou looking at each other.
The Kingdom of Jin has a total of five armies, 50,000 people, plus the imperial guards under the personal control of the king and the garrison troops in various cities, the total number exceeds nearly 80,000 people. In order to completely defeat Peng and Shu this time, Liu Jie can It was said that they were marching out of the country. In addition to the rear army Sima Dutan who led some troops to stay in the territory, Liu Jie brought a total of 60,000 troops.
At this time, there were more than 30,000 troops under Yuhang City.
Compared with the Peng-Shu coalition, these 30,000 people had considerable combat power. Therefore, both Liu Dang and Lu Zhou felt that they could capture the big city of Yuhang as long as they persisted. A hundred years ago, Peng Guo relied on its strong national power to harass everywhere. , Yuhang City can be said to have outstanding achievements. Later, if the leader of Peng State had not committed suicide, he would not have angered the then Emperor Datong, leading to its current decline.
Before the war, Liu Jie was also full of confidence in this, otherwise he would not have come here in person.
He was just about to take the final step but he had to pull back. Morale is something that cannot be let out. There is no such thing as a thing that goes up and down.
Finally, that bitch Yan Tao is no longer here. Naturally, he must seize the time to capture Yuhang County. To this end, Liu Dang and others have been working hard these days. Even now, Sima Cao Ju of the right army is at the forefront and is personally charging ahead. Directing the battle.
What do you mean by temporarily lifting your pants?
Soon, the sound of gold ringing sounded from behind the Jin army. Cao Ju looked in shock and disbelief. However, the soldiers also knew that this was a signal to retreat. As soon as the sound of gold ringing sounded, most of their fighting spirit was lost.
Cao Ju held a long sword in his hand and looked at the Peng Shu coalition forces on the city wall who were clearly gaining strength after the disaster. He snorted bitterly and then turned around to command the army to retreat.
Retreating in a siege battle is relatively simple, not to mention that the Peng-Shu coalition forces have been frightened. At this time, it is too late to celebrate and they will pursue. Even so, when Cao Ju commanded the entire army to leave the battlefield and return to the camp, it would be nearly a month. It's a matter of time.
As soon as the angry Cao Ju entered the camp, he shouted angrily: "Who? Who is calling the gold? Stand up for me."
At this time, there were only Liu Dang and Lu Zhou in the big tent. Liu Dang was a branch of the clan, so Cao Gou naturally cast his cannibalistic gaze on Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou knew what Cao Ju was going to do as soon as he saw it, and he was angry in his heart. Do I look like a weakling?
So Lu Zhou asked coldly: "Cao, what do you mean when you look at me like this?"
Cao Ju snorted heavily and said, "What do you mean? I would like to ask you, was it you who gave the order to withdraw the troops?"
Then he answered Cao Ju without Lu Zhou and said sharply: "Do you know that nearly a hundred of our troops have attacked, and it will only take an hour or two to capture the city gate. By then, it will be easy for the army to enter Yuhang County, but why? You thief doesn't want to see other people making great achievements, so you actually ordered the troops to retreat at such a juncture, saying, what are your intentions!"
The more Cao Ju talked, the angrier he became, and finally he pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed it at Lu Zhou.
The expressions of everyone in the tent changed drastically. Liu Dang and Lu Zhou also had a look of shock. But then Lu Zhou reacted and became angry. He drew out his sword with a cry and roared: "Don't think that the sword in my hand is harmful!"
The situation was tense for a moment. Liu Dang wanted to persuade him but didn't know how to open his mouth. His eyebrows danced anxiously in the middle.
"enough!"
An unpleasant sound rang out from outside the tent. After hearing this, Cao Gou and Lu Zhou were startled and quickly sheathed their swords and stood solemnly on either side.
Liu Jie walked into the tent with a gloomy face and stared at Cao Ju. The latter suddenly shuddered, as if a sharp sword was in his throat.
After a while, Liu Jie said quietly: "You, Cao Sima, are so powerful now!"
The strange voice made Cao Ju's face change drastically, and he quickly knelt down in the tunnel and said: "I am dead, I was so angry that I acted rudely, please forgive me."
Liu Jie asked: "Oh? A moment of anger? What can make you, the commander of the First Army, so angry that you don't care about your posture?"
Cao Ju was sweating coldly, but he still told the story exactly as it was.
"It was Gu who ordered a temporary truce." Liu Jie said impatiently. This feeling made Liu Jie very unhappy.
Cao Ju was shocked again. Today, Cao Ju's heart was overloaded.
While everyone was silent, a shout came from outside the tent.
"Emergency military report~Get out of the way~"
The uneasiness in Liu Jie's heart suddenly became stronger, and he stood up abruptly, causing the crown on his head to dance and sway wildly.
"Quick, pass quickly!"
Liu Dang and others were puzzled, why did the Lord look a little panicked?
Until a soldier covered in blood and in a state of embarrassment appeared in front of them and finished speaking intermittently, the shock in the hearts of several people was far greater than ever before, and Liu Dang's eyes were wide open and full of disbelief.
Liu Jie fell down on the chair. If you look closely, you can see that his hands are shaking slightly.
Is that so?
How could it be!
