Yang Wangqing also nodded and said, "I also agree with Lord Situ's opinion. In addition, in my opinion, the remnants of the Han army in Xianyang City are afraid that they will not go to war easily. Please remember the website address of this site:...so, besiege them.
, after weakening their fighting spirit, they may still have to take a certain fierce attack."
Zhao Xun nodded and said, "I originally planned to solve it quickly, but now it seems that there are many problems. However, this is also good. While we besiege Chang'an and Xianyang, we can also assist our civil servants in
This newly occupied land quickly allows us to quickly complete the reform of the policies and systems of Zhao State. The local county soldiers and government soldiers can also be quickly established. Various relationships such as local tribes and gentry can also be founded in our army.
On the side, it can be quickly sorted out. In addition, it can also allow soldiers to take a while to take a turn for a while, and let each department add some losses."
Subsequently, the Zhao army surrounded Xianyang and Chang'an and began to cooperate with civil servants to take over and manage the prefectures and counties in Xiyongzhou. The prefectures and county soldiers from all over the country also began to form one by one with the cooperation of the war soldiers.
The Zhao army was busy with its internal affairs, but the Han army in Xianyang City and Chang'an City could not be at all safe. Especially in Xianyang, when the Zhao army was unstoppable and captured the prefectures and counties in the western part of Xiyongzhou, there were also many Han people.
The defeated army fled into Xianyang City, allowing the Xianyang City defenders to learn about the current situation in Xiyongzhou.
Being surrounded by the Zhao army, enemies on all sides, completely lost contact with Chang'an, this was absolutely unacceptable for the Xianyang defenders. Going to fight? No one of the defenders in the city dared to fight with the Zhao army easily.
, but it is difficult to last for the food and grass in the city. Especially the city defense in Xianyang is far inferior to Chang'an, and they don't believe how long they can resist the Zhao army.
The one who stationed in Xianyang was Zhou Yuan, one of the four partial generals under Luo Dingyuan. Originally, Luo Dingyuan arranged him here to make it supportive with Chang'an. Unfortunately, the Zhao army was powerful and directly cut off the connection between the two.
There were not many Han troops in Chang'an City. After putting aside the defense and comforting the city, there were not many mobile troops available to call.
Especially after several attempts to connect with Xianyang, the Zhao army failed to attack the city and the Zhao army failed to attack, and saw the Zhao army's thunder and the morale of the defenders in the city plummeted, and the soldiers were even more reluctant to leave the city.
The Han army in the city also lost thousands of people, making Chang'an's troops even more difficult.
As for Xianyang, it is far inferior to Chang'an. Therefore, after Chang'an is still moving, Xianyang has completely become an isolated city. Zhou Yuan cut off contact with Chang'an and had thought of fighting out and joining forces with Chang'an in the east. Unfortunately,
After the defeated troops in the western prefectures and counties retreated here, the reinforcements in the city completely lost their courage, and they were unwilling to go out of the city to fight the Zhao army.
In just a few slight slight, the city of Xianyang became a little unstable. It was not that there was any problem inside Xianyang, but that the Zhao army has recently sent letters of persuasion to the city to persuade the surrender, which made the city a little unstable. Among these letters of persuasion to surrender, Zhao
The current situation of the general Xiyongzhou is explained one by one, so that the defenders will know that Xianyang where they are now stationed is already an isolated city and there is no way out. It is better to surrender early.
For the upper-level generals and schools, since they were stationed here, if they surrendered, they would have surrendered long ago. Why did they wait until now? These generals and schools are from Hanzhong, and their families also live in Hanzhong. If they surrender, their families might have
You will be implicated. In addition, as generals of the army, surrendering without fighting is not what they should do.
However, for ordinary soldiers below, surrender is not so difficult to accept, especially in a desperate situation, where they all want to survive. If the superiors are unwilling to fight, they naturally can only give up the idea of fighting to the death and start thinking about surrendering in their hearts.
The meaning. Of course, this is also related to the Zhao army's letter of persuading surrender to the Zhao army and the narrative of the Zhao army's system, policies and treatment of these surrendered soldiers.
"General, our army's food and grass have almost been exhausted. What should we do now?" In the hall of the General's Mansion, the general responsible for logistics reported to Zhou Yuan with a sad face.
Zhou Yuan was also frowning. Although he was the head coach of the city, it was definitely not an easy task to command the military and political affairs of the city. The original county magistrate in the city was still on the side after Luo Dingyuan sent him to take over the city.
He is responsible for all military and political affairs in the city. Now, he cannot understand the benefits of rights, but instead experiences the heavy troubles caused by rights.
"The food and grass are exhausted? Why is it so fast? The food and grass in the city can last at least half a month? Why is it exhausted in less than ten miles?"
The general in charge of logistics said bitterly: "General, have you forgotten that the statistics at that time only calculated the soldiers from Hanzhong. Now, there are more than 4,000 defeated troops from all over the country in the city. In addition, the statistics at that time
Data is also a data statistics that save money when our army is preventing the Zhao army from siege, causing food and supplies to be in trouble. But after the Zhao army siege, General, in order to appease the soldiers in the city, you have no restrictions on each food for each river of the soldiers, but instead give
Yu Jiaqi has caused the city to consume food quickly, and now it has begun to be scarce."
"How could this happen?" Zhou Yuan frowned. It was indeed his military order at the beginning, but there was a reason for it. However, he neglected the food issue. He looked at the generals and officers on both sides and said in a deep voice, "Why are you doing this?"
Look? Without enough food, we are afraid it will be difficult for us to stick to it!"
"General, you should not be careless about food and grass. You can put down everything else for the time being. However, the food problem must not be solved. Once there is a gap in the food, there will be chaos in the city." A general said anxiously.
Other generals and schools are not fools, so they can naturally see the problems in this and believe that the food problem is the most critical factor affecting the city defense.
"General, perhaps the Zhao army released these defeated troops into the city in order to consume our food and supplies. Otherwise, how could the Zhao army outside the city easily increase our troops? In addition, these defeated troops entering the city will also make news that our army outside the city is unfavorable to our army outside the city.
The bringing brings panic to the city, perhaps this is one of the goals of the Zhao army.” General Yilang said.
Zhou Yuanleng took a breath and said in surprise: "When you say this, I think what you said is very reasonable. However, these defeated troops have entered the city and we cannot expel them anymore. At present, we still need to work together to do our best.
The other things are under the jurisdiction of Xianyang. How can we solve the problem of this food?"
"Generals, among the last generals, are nothing more than asking for the great gentry in the city and enlisting the people in the city. Otherwise, we have no other way!"
"In this way, you will offend the people and the gentry in the city!"
"What are we afraid of? We are reinforcements from Hanzhong and we no longer take office in Xiyongzhou. Are we still afraid of the great gentry in this city? Besides, don't they know that if we are defeated, they will face the system of Zhao, and what they lose will be
That's even more true! As for the people in the city, what can they do? Even if there are these remnants, we must first solve the problems in front of us. Otherwise, we will be out of food without talking about anything else."
Zhou Yuan pondered for a little while and said coldly: "Search for food from the gentry in the city and tell them that if they want to save what they have now, they must provide us with food. Otherwise, when Zhao's army enters the city, they will have nothing. In addition,
A batch of food was collected in the city.”
"In addition, we immediately spread news in the city, saying that the Shu army, Luo army, and Han army reinforcements have already arrived in the north from Hanzhong and are about to arrive in Xiyongzhou. As long as we can persist, we will definitely defeat the Zhao army and recover the entire territory of Xiyongzhou."
The Han army in the city began to ask for food from the gentry in the city and levy additional money and grain to the people in the city. Needless to say, it would definitely make the city chaotic again. However, for these Han army, how could they care about these things at this moment?
Naturally, the city's dark sigh soon sent out the information with arrows at night. Zhao Xun and others, who learned about the situation in the city, also began to discuss the attack.
"The siege of the city has been ten miles long. Even if the defenders in the city have the fighting spirit and the desire to resist, under such circumstances, they are suffering and it is difficult to continue to this day." Outside Xianyang City, Zhao's army camp,
Yang Wangqing looked at the city with the limit of vision and said indifferently.
Situ Liang said in a deep voice: "In addition, the food and grass in the city have probably become a problem. According to the information sent by spies in the city, the Han army in the city has begun to demand food from the families of the city and the people. In addition, the city is also
It began to spread the reinforcements from the south that were about to cross Hanzhong to stabilize the hearts of the people."
Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "Since they talk about reinforcements, we will use Chang'an reinforcements to lure the Xianyang defenders to fight. We have prepared for a long time and it is time to start taking action."
Zhao Xun asked a soldier to rush into the city at night and entered the city under the banner of Chang'an messenger. After seeing the Xianyang garrison, he informed him in the name of Luo Dingyuan that Chang'an was going to send a group of troops to support Xianyang, asking Xianyang to continue to stand firm and escort Chang'an.
The horns echo each other from afar.
Zhou Yuan naturally would not believe what the messenger said easily, but the Zhao army naturally had to act, so he naturally had a better understanding of the situation in Chang'an City, and also made more preparations for the internal situation of the Han reinforcements. During the confrontation,
Zhou Yuan still believed that the person who came was sent by his coach Luo Dingyuan.
Needless to say, the city of Xianyang once again followed the strategy of the Sixth Town of the Imperial Army and the cavalry of Zhao Kang's troops under the city of Sanguan. Outside the city, Chang'an troops raided the Zhao army camp and lured the Xianyang defenders to fight for the battle. Naturally, there was no need to do so.
It is said that the five thousand soldiers sent by Xianyang broke into the ambush of the Zhao army and could not escape.
It's a pity that the one who was lured was not Zhou Yuan himself, but a general under his command. He originally wanted to trap Zhou Yuan and attract the Han army in the city continuously, but in the end, the Xianyang defenders attacked Zhao army.
The fear was greater than expected. Seeing the troops who were leading out of the city, they naturally knew that this was the trick of the Zhao army. They immediately blocked the city and abandoned the five thousand men outside the city.
Zhou Yuan's caution completely prevented the five thousand soldiers from getting out of the east gate, but it also made the Zhao army's plan to lure the main force of the Han army in the city out to fight to the decisive battle. At the same time, it also made the Han army's preparation for counterattack against Xianyang failed.
However, being able to wipe out the 5,000 soldiers of the Xianyang defenders was also a great victory for the Zhao army. There were not many defenders in Xianyang City, but after a few 5,000 soldiers, it was even less.
"It's a pity... it's almost! The Xianyang guard general was too timid. When he saw something wrong, he immediately blocked the city gate. Even the soldiers who could retreat outside the city were blocked outside the city."
After the main force left the city, Zhao Kang, who counterattacked Xianyang, couldn't help but sigh.
"Zhou Yuancai doesn't believe that the people who are hiding outside the city can still return to the city. I'm afraid that what he is more worried about is whether these soldiers returning to the city are pretending to be our army, so how could they let them return to the city?"
Situ Liang said in a deep voice: "It seems that he is going to attack for a strong attack! After this battle, the Han army in the city will never dare to leave the city easily and will never be easily trapped."
Yang Wangqing smiled and said, "It's okay. After this battle, there were only 10,000 Han troops in the city, and their morale was chaotic. What are we afraid of? Even if we attack hard, there is no need to worry about it."
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "From the Ming Dynasty, the army will attack the city and must suppress the defenders. Isn't this situation also as we expected? After two or three ri, we should be in the city.
The matter is under discussion. By the way, those big families in the city are ready?"
Situ Liang said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, you're ready. As long as we attract the defenders for a few rips first, our secret sighs can temporarily train the private members of these families and let them act according to the plan.
.”
However, since then, the Zhao army has cooperated with the catapult to attack the city, and the Zhao army did not attack vigorously. Instead, it was inviting the defenders to fight, and Yu and the Han army fought outside the city to decide the outcome.
However, the Zhao army's catapult car had already scared the defenders. In addition, they did not dare to go out of the city to fight with the Zhao army? The Zhao army soldiers took turns to challenge the three ri outside the city, and they were ridiculed and failed.
The third ri, after a sarcasm, the Zhao army stopped its operations outside the city and returned to the camp. That night, King Zhao rewarded the entire army and enjoyed the whole army. The army was all given good wine and meat. The time came
At night, the Xianyang defenders could still see the firelights and noisy celebrations in the Zhao army camp several miles away.
Some generals suggested leaving the city to raid the Zhao army, but because of the failure of the last night operation, these Han soldiers had sequelae to attack the Zhao army, and they were unwilling to fight. Seeing this, Zhou Yuan had to give up.
The guards at the southern gate of Xianyang were watching the fires and the faint noisy sounds several miles away, and they couldn't help but feel envious and jealous. The Zhao army outside the city drank at night, but their food rations began to decrease due to food problems.
"Captain, I really envy them. We are watching here and are bitten by mosquitoes, but Zhao Jun can drink wine and eat delicious food. It is said that this is true outside the four gates outside the city, and cheers can reach the city. Alas...
When will such a riku be a head? I don’t know how long Xianyang can hold on!” The soldiers guarding the city couldn’t help but mutter while slapping the mosquitoes on the face.
"Okay, you boy say a few words, what can you say and what can't you say? Don't you move these things? Be careful that disaster comes from your mouth!" The team sitting behind the female wall and resting on the female wall, leading the team to rest on the female wall
He said coldly. Actually, he thought so, but these things are not something they can consider at all.
"There are no one here, they are all brothers in our team, what are you afraid of? In my opinion, it's better to surrender to Zhao. It's a severance here. Zhao's army's catapult cart lasted for three consecutive times, which made the city wall more than it was.
There are two thousand corpses, and I don’t know when we will become one of them…” Another person said coldly not far away.
Just as this small team of soldiers was muttering, they did not notice that at some point a lot of black-clad men and horses were pouring out at the city gate not far from them. Three teams and five young men didn't know.
When did I get it? At this time, I had already reached dozens of steps away from the city gate under the cover of the shops and houses in front of the city gate.
Logically speaking, there were many people guarding the city gate. However, because Zhao's army contacted Sao and disturbed the three ris, the catapults also ravaged the three ris continuously. The Han army was exhausted, and Zhao's army returned to the camp to have a banquet, so
There are not many guards near the city gate. Of course, there is a small military camp stationed around the city gate, which can support more than a thousand soldiers at any time. However, they have already gone to rest at this moment. After three ris, they are also tired.
Unbearable.
