Chunyu Qiong was killed by Wang Ping's robbery of food. Wen Chou went to rescue him in a hurry, but because of misjudgment of the enemy situation, he finally became a gourd baby to save his grandfather. He was seduced by Guan Yu to the encirclement and shot him to death.

The defense of Guanglang City seemed so foolproof and solid, half a day ago. After the war ended on this day, the situation suddenly took a sharp turn and was shrouded in a tragic wind and rain.

The grain transport soldiers brought by Chunyu Qiong were almost wiped out, and less than half of them were killed. The rest were either fleeing around the mountains or being captured.

The reinforcements brought by Wen Chou did not occupy the majority, but this was mainly because Wen Chou was eager to underestimate the enemy to rescue him at that time, and the reinforcements were dragged into a long snake formation, and the head and tail could not be taken care of each other.

Guan Yu had no time to wait for Wen Chou to drag all the twenty-mile-long troops into the encirclement before taking action, so he only surrounded and annihilated Wen Chou's cavalry and even some of the infantry closest to him.

The remaining half of the rear army did not have time to enter the encirclement and were directly cut off and blocked outside. The bloody battle lasted for more than a moment. When I heard that General Wen Chou in front of me was killed in battle, all the cavalry were destroyed, and the living surrendered, the rear army immediately retreated towards Guanglang City like a tide.

Guan Yu cleaned up the front and army, and repeatedly rushed to cover the killing. However, the Wang Pingwudang Flying Army he led was all infantry. In the relatively flat Guanglang Valley, the marching speed was not much faster than the opponent.

Moreover, the valley is narrow and the front surface that can be contacted is relatively small. The troops are congested and the firepower output environment is very bad. Even if the enemy collapses at the touch and surrenders after being caught up, it will still block the road, resulting in unsustainable pursuit.

Finally, when they chased to the sunset and outside Guanglang City, Guan Yu and Wang Ping only wiped out one or two thousand people in the pursuit battle, and all the rest fled back to the city.

Guan Yu made a quick decision and asked Wang Ping to surround Guanglang City that night. As for the supply issue of the troops going deep into the enemy's back, there is no need to worry too much about Chunyu Qiong's destruction. Only half of the grain convoys he transported were set on fire, and the rest were seized by Wang Ping.

The seized share is about 300 ox, donkey, each. It is roughly estimated that there are more than 20,000 stones of food. Based on the calculation that a soldier eats one and a half stones per month, 30,000 without a single flying army can make up for more than half a month of food.

In addition to the food Wang Ping had previously carried with the army, Wudang Feijun soldiers were good at using fruits, birds and beasts to replenish their supplies in the mountains. If they captured Guanglang City within a month, they would not lose food.

Guanglang City, which has only thousands of people left to defend, is facing two main generals who have killed each other and have no leader, which obviously has not lasted for less than a month.

Even if Wang Ping crosses the mountain, he cannot carry any parts of the catapult car and cannot use heavy long-range siege weapons. These small difficulties are not enough to constitute an obstacle to breaking the city.

After setting up a camp, Guan Yu ignored the hardships after today's war and patrolled around Guanglang City for another round, returned to the camp and ordered Wang Ping:

"Today, all the soldiers have worked hard. Let's take a break earlier and have a rest tomorrow. If you have any injuries, you can recover from the wounds. Create some simple siege equipment, flying ladders, and simple siege wooden donkeys. The whole city will start to attack the city the day after tomorrow.

However, we must also keep enough night patrol soldiers in batches and keep on guard. If the defenders in the city think we are tired after the bloody battle, they cannot immediately launch an attack on the city and want to rob the camp, that would be the best."

Wang Ping bowed his hand to take the order: "No! I will obey the order of the Grand Marshal."

Guan Yu waved his hand: "Although you have been hiding from all over the past few months, you have been very frustrated, but today you have finally made up for all the opportunities for meritorious service that you had delayed before.

Although Chunyu Qiong was incompetent, he was in a high position for a long time. When He Jin was the general ten years ago, he was on par with Yuan Shaoping and ranked as the general of the Fourth Conquest in the Puppet Dynasty of Guandong.

If you killed Chunyu Qiong today, I have enough reason to represent you as a general in front of His Majesty. But you are young after all, and you joined the army with your clan members. You have already been promoted at a young age, and it is easy for people to be dissatisfied if you rise too fast.

You were only twenty-one years old last year, you are twenty-two years old at the end of the year, so you are a miscellaneous general, and it is easy to criticize the army. So, if you try harder and conquer Guanglang City this time, it will be a real tough battle. No one will say that you are just lucky enough to kill Chunyu Qiong, a fool."

After all, Wang Ping was young. Although he had brought tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers, he had not been promoted to the general of miscellaneous titles before.

If you break the wolf city again this time, it would be that the return and logistics base of the 60,000 Yuan army surrounded by Shangdang was cut off, resulting in Zhang Liao's food cuts and completely becoming a turtle in the jar. This contribution is huge enough.

Moreover, once the Taihang Mountains are broken through and the future is to fight to Kanto, the eastern region will be rich plains, and there are actually no occasions where mountain warfare troops are particularly good for them to perform.

This battle is the highest moment for Wang Ping’s life and the soldiers of the Wudang Fei Army.

After hearing Guan Yu's encouragement, Wang Ping, coupled with the previous endurance of being unable to expose his strength and being unable to fight, all gathered together. Wang Ping only felt excited and felt a sense of heroism in creating history that no one else could do.

"Don't worry, the Grand Marshal! A real man should be swearing to fight to the death. He will return with a horse and a corpse. He is afraid of not having a catapult. Just a wolf city is only two or three feet of city wall. We are not good at climbing the army. 30,000 soldiers will attack together, and it will be sure to break it!

I will encourage the whole army tomorrow and tell you that this is our chance to win the wife and son in this life. On the road to reunification of the Han Dynasty for Your Majesty, we must work hard, and we will fight for this lifelong glory and wealth."

Finally, Guan Yu also instructed the messenger who was good at crossing mountains and ridges tomorrow morning to pass through the mountains in the south, and return to the Shimen and the Wuze defense line to inform Zhuge Liang and Zhang Ren, so that they could rest assured that Zhang Liao's chance to retreat to the direction of the eastward direction no longer exists.

In addition, if Zhang Liao divided his troops back to rescue him, Zhuge Liang and Zhang Ren can also appropriately turn defense into offense to harassment and restraint. The general principle is to prevent any side of Zhang Liao from calming down, losing one's side, retreating and advancing.

After arranging everything, the troops rested peacefully for a night, and the next day they also built simple equipment as planned and continued to repair it at night.

However, although there is no frontal attack, the attack will continue to be put in pressure every day. Anyway, the mouth is not expensive. Just find dozens of loud voices holding drum horns, standing outside the range of crossbow arrows and shouting at the wall.

All day long, the swearing soldiers shouted some words to surrender under the cover of their crossbow soldiers, mainly emphasizing that "You have fallen into the trap. The entire Wudang Flying Army's 50,000 troops have arrived here. If they did not surrender to the city early, they would probably be burned.

When Yuan Shao heard Xu You's slander, he bet that Taiwei Guan was insufficient in his troops. His Majesty transferred the main force in the north to the south to help Li Sikongping and Sun Quan. In fact, it was nothing at all!"

After all, ordinary soldiers guarding the city may not know that they have fallen into the trap. The Yuan army officer who fled back to the city will also try to block out the remarks that shake the morale of the army, and do not want the soldiers to know how stupid their top leaders are. At this time, the party who uses the plan must of course give full play to the residual heat of the strategy and the surplus value, and even slap people in the face after cutting the meat.

The Han army did not come out for a long time, and just shouting that time did make the remaining generals of Yuan army feel a little confused, and they are all angry. But because Chunyu Qiong and Wen Chou were both killed, these generals were scared out of fear, so they did not dare to make up their minds to fight back against the robbery camp while Wang Ping was not firmly established and allowed themselves to escape.

Now in Guanglang City, there are mainly a low-level deputy general named Zhu Yuanjin next to Chunyu Qiong, and a deputy general named Zhao Rui from Wen Chou. These two are the most official positions in the army and are in charge of military affairs. They can only be said to be a rude excuse, and they are not a general at all.

...

On July 22, after full preparation, the Han army launched a full-scale attack on Guanglang City.

Wang Ping has repeatedly motivated the soldiers, and everyone knows that today's battle may be the best opportunity for them to gain wealth and promotion in their lives. The barbarian soldiers don't have many ideas, but only know that there are benefits, so they need to go. The simplest and most crude incentives are the best.

In the early morning, hundreds of flying ladders were carried by thousands of pioneers and launched a charge, blooming from all sides to ensure that each wall was under constant pressure.

After all, the Zhuge crossbow weapon has been mastered by both the enemy and the enemy at the same time, but Yuan Shao's army did not produce so much. In addition, under normal circumstances, the siege team has catapults. The guards feel that every section of the city wall has no chance to play, so they are mostly deployed in the city tower and the city gate.

Now that Wang Ping has no catapult available, he has to scatter the city. Even if the guards use a crossbow, they can only suppress a few points, and the other points can still be broken through.

While sieging the city with flying ladders, dozens of city-digging wooden donkeys that were so simple that they had only a ceiling were pushed to the city by the soldiers, and they took out shovels, shovels, or even nails, hammers, and axes to start digging the soil of the city wall.

The axle of the wooden donkey cart has no grease lubrication to reduce friction, and it creaked when pushed. The sound of tooth-acid torque seemed to warn the axle to break at any time, but the speed was not slow at all.

The Wudang Flying Army came over mountains and ridges this time. Except for the generals, no one else was equipped with iron armor. He was shot by crossbows on the city. It was really a lot of casualties, but their rapid momentum also scared the Yuan army's soldiers.

After short and tragic casualties, some points took advantage of the opportunity of friendly forces to attract firepower, and they had already stepped up like monkeys and stood firm, and began to fight on the wall. The sword, shield, axe, and shield flew over and reached the red eye. From time to time, the soldiers of the two armies fought and fell down the city wall.

The generals of Yuan army in the city did not expect that the Han army would stand on the wall on the first day of the siege and sent people to block the door and retreat. Fortunately, there were still seven or eight thousand defenders in the city, and they could afford to spend their lives.

In the end, relying on the crossfire advantage of the defending city, the Han army blocked the support of the dead soldiers first, and used a raft that had already been on the wall to knock down the wooden and push forks, gradually surrounding and killing the first group of barbarians who rushed to the city.

However, this fair bloody fight is no longer a good exchange of advantages for the defending city side. If you kill ten Wudang Flying Army barbarians, Yuan's army will have to pay at least seven or eight, which is purely consumption.

The bloody battle on the first day ended, and the Wudang Flying Army suffered more than 3,000 casualties, and nearly 2,000 casualties were also suffered from the city wall. What’s more important is that several collapses were dug out, and more minor damages were added.

If it was a normal battle, one-tenth of the casualties would have caused the troops to be in a slump and they were unwilling to fight again. It can be seen that Wang Ping is still very hard to boost morale this time. He knew that he was robbing time, and after so many casualties, he still continued to attack.

Many middle-level officers and ordinary soldiers of Yuan Shao's army in the city began to doubt their lives: With such heavy casualties, will the Han army continue to attack so fiercely tomorrow? If this is true, the remaining 5,000 people in the city will be killed and consumed in a few days. Even if they replace 10,000 or even 20,000 lives on the other side, what if they replace 10,000 or even 20,000 lives on the other side?

Ordinary soldiers don’t care about changing the lives of the opponent when they die. Yuan Shao’s army is not so determined to fight to the end. After all, they are not the family members who will implicate the soldiers like Cao Cao.

Amid their anxiety, Wang Ping's offensive the next day was still fierce. In addition to the physical attack, Guan Yu also asked Wang Ping to change his approach to attack the heart and pay attention to differentiating treatment.

"Listen to the Yuan army soldiers on the city! If you resist to the end, when the city is broken, there will be no people in the city. It is a fortress fortress.

However, the Taiwei still gives you the opportunity to regret and reform yourself. Don’t miss yourself. If you don’t surrender today, you will surrender tomorrow. The Taiwei will still be surrendered, but all the officers above the Taiwei will be killed! If the Sima of the army wants to surrender, you can kill the lieutenant. The head of the Duwei will surrender!

Later, if the power is poor, the army will surrender, and all the soldiers will be killed! After three days, the power is poor, and all the soldiers will be killed! After five days, the troops will be killed! If the officers who should be killed, those who are more than three stubborn and unscrupulous colleagues of the same level will be punished to surrender, they will be punished without death. If the soldiers who are killed by the stubborn and unscrupulous Shangguan will be saved by death!”

With such a strong attack, the soldiers of Yuan Shao's army became more and more panicked. After all, the barbarians outside were not "civilized army". To put this in mind, the officers in the city realized that the other party would really do this. And seeing that those barbarians were really not afraid of death, they suffered three thousand casualties yesterday and today's offensive was not slow at all.

The defenders' expectations for "I hope the siege's casualties will be severe and they will give up" completely collapsed.

The killing lasted until July 24th. Finally, a group of Sima, who had missed the opportunity to surrender and deserved to die even after the city was broken, won enough support from subordinates and launched a mutiny to kill both Yuanjin and Zhao Rui. Then he opened the door with his head and opened the door with the last 3,000 remaining soldiers and wounded soldiers to surrender, asking for forgiveness.

It was only at this moment that Guan Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Threat the defenders with the words "If you refuse to surrender, you will kill all the city when you break down" is originally a double-edged sword, which can easily make the other party resist to the end because they know that they have missed the deadline for surrender and will die if they surrender too late.

Give a gradient quote to give them a chance to go back on their word, but to go back on their word will cost a greater price, which can shake the enemy's morale more than a one-size-fits-all approach.

After Guan Yu and Wang Ping entered the city, they immediately counted the grain and found that the food stored in Guanglang City was 150,000 stones, which was originally enough for all Zhang Liao and Wen Chou's army to eat for two months.
Chapter completed!
