Chapter 0254 In trouble
After saying that, Cao Youliang ordered people to gather the rebels and concentrate on guarding them.
Wenxuan on the top of the city wall saw this and refused to agree. He ordered the arrow to shoot all the people below to death.
A rebel leader beside him said, "Chief, there are still our people below."
Wenxuan was furious and slashed over, chopped the leader to death, and then roared at the others: "Shoot the arrow."
"Swish swish swish,,,"
A rain of arrows shot down from the city, and the soldiers of the government hurriedly covered them with their shields. The rebels who had no time to enter the city were not so lucky, and many of them died tragically at the hands of their own people.
Many of the rebel soldiers who were shooting archers had tears in their eyes. They put themselves into the city and were shot to death by themselves.
Today they were abandoned by the leader and shot to death by their own people. Will they be the same tomorrow?
Cao Youliang did not forcibly siege the city. During the training of the new army, Zhao Yun once told them that the lives of soldiers were exchanged for a stone and a bow and arrow, and finally the ruined city was obtained.
As long as such a war of attrition is not a must-fight, it must be avoided as much as possible. It is important to know that people are the most precious. It doesn’t matter how many days earlier, how many days later, or how many days before the city is broken.
So Cao Youliang ordered people to build a ladder, collect stones, and prepare to attack again tomorrow.
Seeing the official army camping, Wenxuan and Wang Zhengxing were relieved, but their faces were still solemn. The combat power of the official army was beyond his imagination and impressed them.
But who knew that all this was just the beginning. In the evening, Cao Youwan and his 5,000 troops rushed to the north of Lianjiang County.
Seeing that the soldiers were dressed like the official army fighting during the day, the rebels on the city were frightened and hurried to report to Wenxuan and Wang Zhengxing.
Soon, Wenxuan and Wang Zhengxing both arrived. They saw so many powerful troops appearing, as if boundless, and were so scared that they were all silent and even breathing heavily.
Even if they were like this, there is no need to say more about the rebel soldiers below.
However, what they were temporarily relieved was that maybe it was late, and these large troops did not attack the city as soon as possible, and were preparing to set up camp, which gave them some chance to breathe.
But even so, the government army besieged the city on both sides of the north and south, but it also took the east and west sides into the scope of sight. Once the rebels leave the city from both sides of the east and west, they will be surrounded and blocked by the government army, and they will not be able to get rid of it if they want to.
Faced with such a severe situation, Wenxuan and Wang Zhengxing were both worried and didn't know what to do.
At night, Wang Zhengxing walked back and forth at home with a look of uneasiness, and kept recalling the scene in his mind that Cao Youliang's army was firing thousands of arrows at the same time during the day, and his side suffered heavy casualties.
The more shocking the scene, the more pressure Wang Zhengxing will be.
At this time, his father Wang Tianbing found him, looked worried and asked him, "Zhengxing, I heard that the official army was like a divine weapon descending from the sky. What's going on? Is this true?"
Wang Zhengxing nodded silently, "Father, it's true. I don't know where this official army came out. It has a strong combat power. Before our army fought with them face to face, hundreds of people were killed and injured. The morale of the army was immediately in chaos and collapsed, and thousands of people could not fight again."
When Wang Tianbing heard this, his face was full of fear. He smiled bitterly and said, "What I should have thought of long ago is that the government should have implemented a new law. If there is no hard way, how can I dare to do this? It is just that I understand it too late."
His heart was ashamed, and Wang Zhengxing didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to watch Wang Tianbing leave helplessly.
Wang Tianbing returned to his bedroom and couldn't sleep anymore. He thought that his family would be destroyed, but all this was caused by his own behavior of letting his son go. He could not forgive himself and regretted resisting the new law.
If everything can be started over again, so what if there is no land? Can you not survive if you have a wealth of wealth? Will you not be able to survive if you have a prosperous family?
Wang Zhengxing was also unable to fall asleep like Wang Tianbing. He knew very well that the city was destroyed was only a matter of time. If the status quo could not be changed, the entire family would be destroyed and no one would want to live.
This night, many people are destined to be unable to fall asleep.
After dawn the next day, Cao Youliang and Cao Youwan's army began to shoot arrows into the city. There were strips of arrows, which brought the news of encouraging the rebels to surrender and encouraged the righteous people to kill the thieves and seek merit.
Not only that, they also blatantly built trenchers for firing iron cannons and ladders under the noses of the rebels, and even began to dig trenches, hoping to trap the rebels in the city to death.
All of this is to make the rebels civil unrest and to make them surrender without fighting.
Cao Youliang and Cao Youwan's persuasion of surrender was naturally effective. The rebels themselves were unpopular, and the current situation was not conducive to the rebels, so many rebel soldiers began to flee.
As long as these scattered soldiers run out of the city, they will be kept under the supervision of the government army, and then the government army will take them outside the city to be role models, encouraging more people to escape and surrender.
Faced with the increasingly unstable morale of the military, Wenxuan and Wang Zhengxing naturally could not sit still and wait for death. While they strictly restrained their subordinates, they organized troops to go out of the city to fight with the official army.
But for several days, they suffered losses and generals. After several battles, they did not get any advantage, which made them even more impatient.
"Not good, no good, the leader, the official army is attacking our Gutian old camp."
Just when Wang Zhengxing and the others were in a state of great trouble, a rebel soldier hurriedly came back to report the news.
It turned out that Cao Youwen took people directly to the ancient field of Duanwenxuan's old nest.
Gutian County is Wenxuan's hometown, and his parents, wife and children are there. If Gutian is lost, Wenxuan can directly hit the wall.
After learning this news from Wenxuan, he was so scared that he was so scared that he immediately brought his men back to Gutian without saying a word to avoid accidents.
Seeing this, Wang Zhengxing was shocked. If Wenxuan left, wouldn’t he be dead?
He hurriedly advised Wenxuan: "Brother Wen, when you return to the aid, you will definitely be plotted by the government army. If they set up an ambush on the way, or if they cover up the killing and chasing all the way, you will definitely be defeated. You still have to make a long-term plan for returning to the aid."
After listening to Wenxuan, he knew it was reasonable, so he had to postpone the return plan and wait for the right time.
Although Wang Zhengxing temporarily advised him to Xin, he knew that his end was already counting down. If he could not break the deadlock, his family would be doomed.
After thinking hard about the strategy to break the deadlock, Wang Zhengxing suddenly looked like a ruthless look, which made people feel scared.
That night, Wang Zhengxing brought his butler Wang Zhong to his father Wang Tianbing's room.
Wang Tianbing looked at him and saw that his son Wang Zhengxing had a sad face, his eyes were red, and there were tears hidden. It was obvious that he had just cried.
