Eight hundred and ninety-one Yu Jin storms Xinchang County
After learning this news, Zhang Fei and Xia Zhao were very rewarded.
So before Yu Jin led the main force of the army to arrive, Zhang Fei and Xia Zhao had already decisively completed the siege of Xinchang County.
They adopted the method of surrounding the four sides to prevent and defend the city, abandoning the traditional siege method of siege three missing one, and intending to do their best to eliminate the power of the Gongsun family and pacify Liaodong.
On October 18, the second year of Yande, Yu Jin led the main force of the army to the Xinchang County and met Zhang Fei and Xia Zhao.
After the two reported, Yu Jin learned that the main force of the Gongsun family had been transferred from Xiangping to Xinchang, and now Zhang Fei and Xia Zhao have surrounded Gongsun Du and Gongsun Kang in the county.
Yu Jin was very happy and praised Zhang Fei and Xia Zhao.
"In this way, Gongsun's wings will be hard to fly! People come, log and set up camp, and prepare to attack the city!"
With Yu Jin's order, the army immediately began to move, and a real tough battle was about to begin.
Although this city is not that tall, wide and deep, it seems that the number of defenders is large, which is not a good thing for the Wei army.
Siege battles are extremely advantageous for the defending city side. If nothing unexpected happens, the defending city side is enough to withstand the attack of the siege's large number of troops with a small amount of troops.
Still, this won't change anything.
Yu Jin decisively ordered the assembly of the stone-treating machine he brought, so that the cannons could fully utilize their strengths and allow the city to perish in a sea of fire.
This is a very rare opportunity to make achievements independently. You don’t need to share your military achievements with people like Zhang Liao. Yu Jin will definitely win this military achievements.
At this moment, in Xinchang County, Gongsun Kang was kneeling beside Gongsun Du's bed, looking depressed.
"Father, son is incompetent and cannot defeat the Wei people. Now, the Wei people have surrounded Xinchang and we can't leave."
After a period of coma, Gongsun Du finally woke up and looked at his depressed son and learned about the current situation.
After learning about the situation, he was very depressed.
To be honest, he really wanted to just fall into a coma like this. Don’t know such bad news again, it must be a good thing for him.
The situation he created for years was actually destroyed.
It was easily destroyed by Guo Peng.
After twenty years of starting a business and twenty years of operation, now, in just over a month, he has even been trapped in the city and extremely moved.
He wanted to scold Gongsun Kang and scold him for being incompetent, but now that things have come to this, it makes no sense to say this, and he is really weak.
So he thought hard and asked, "Can reinforcements come now?"
"Before arriving in Xinchang, I had already sent someone to go to Gogurye and Fuyu to bring reinforcements, and they will definitely come."
Gongsun Kang spoke.
"This is hard to say... I can only say that there is still a glimmer of life. Even if I cannot restore to the previous appearance, it is enough to drive Guo Zifeng away. We cannot ask for too much... Before reinforcements arrive, try to defend the city as much as possible. We have many people, and the Wei people cannot break through the city so quickly."
Gongsun Du said, took a few breaths, and then said, "This is the last chance, don't be chaotic again! Otherwise, our whole family will be buried with you!"
Gongsun Kang nodded carefully and did not dare to say anything else.
He barely arrested the city defense, but he did not dare to tell Gongsun Du that there was not much food in the city and that he could not hold on for half a month.
If reinforcements do not come or the Wei army outside the city cannot be solved within half a month, the entire Xinchang County will starve to death.
Of course, Gongsun and his son couldn't live.
This is not that Gongsun Kang doesn't work hard, but that Gongsun Kang can't defeat the Wei army outside the city. If he can fight, or even draw, he will not end up like this.
However, he felt that the Wei army came from afar and Liaodong still lacked food, so their food route must be very difficult. As long as they persist in fighting for a while, there will definitely be poor food for so many Wei army members, and maybe there will be a glimmer of hope in Liaodong.
The only thing he hopes for now is that the Wei army has insufficient food and has to retreat.
But then again, until this time, Gongsun Kang still didn't know what route the Wei army took to attack south of Xinchang County.
Is it...a way to the sea?
Just take the sea route that business travelers take?
With so many people, so many baggage, and even war horses, how many ships are needed?
How could there be so many ships for the Wei people to use?
Gongsun Kang himself did not understand the journey of the sea, so he could not think about how such a path came about.
But it doesn't matter, he no longer has the mind and time to think about this kind of problem.
Because the Wei army's siege began.
Since the Gongsun regime can be abolished by conquering Xinchang County, why not do it?
After the assembly of twenty stone catapults was completed, the attack began.
Not to mention the huge stones, when huge stones flying all over the sky hit the city walls and in the city, it can already bring great shock and pressure to the people in the city, let alone the sky-shaking thunder and fierce ignition oil tanks when they are thrown in.
Balls of fire burst on the city walls, and a large number of Liaodong soldiers were entangled with flames and burned into firemen. There were also the violent sound of thunder that shocked the city after the explosion of the sky. The feeling was really despairing.
Anyway, Gongsun Kang felt this kind of panic and even a little desperate.
The city defense of Xinchang County was hit with an extremely serious blow by water, as well as strange weapons that would make extremely terrifying thunder-like sounds.
Instead of sending troops to attack the city at the beginning, the Wei army continuously used these long-range strike weapons to attack and destroy the Liaodong Army defenders and many cities guarding equipment at the top of the city, in order to minimize the morale of the Liaodong Army and Xinchang City Defense.
For two consecutive days, such a blow has never stopped. Anyway, Gongsun Kang no longer dares to climb the city. Now those who dare to climb the city are all brave warriors, and unlucky guys who are forced to climb the city - they will be killed immediately if they don't go up, and there is still a possibility of survival when they go up. There is no way, just go up.
But it was really miserable to go up.
Squeezing your ears with a cloth cannot completely block the sound, it can only be reduced slightly, but the terrifying thing about the thunder is not only the sound, but also the debris after the bursting, those small stones, and iron filings, which are really terrible.
Although Gongsun Kang tried to put armor and shields on the people in the city, the casualties rate remained high.
The ignition oil tanks are also of great contribution. The armor and shields can block the attack of the thunder, but it is difficult to stop the ignition oil tanks. Even the stones can be burned for a while, let alone humans.
Gongsun Kang witnessed a soldier rushing forward with a large shield and was directly hit by a fierce ignition oil tank. The fierce ignition oil tank burst on his shield. The bursting flames opened their bloody mouth like a demon, and instantly swallowed him.
The big shield can't save him.
There were so many people who were injured and burned by the shock, that Gongsun Kang had no time to send people to transport them down the city. The city was in a mess. In the end, the surviving defenders in the city could only take off their armor and push the bodies down the city tower.
It's so difficult.
Gongsun Kang didn't want to fight back either. He organized crossbowmen to use powerful crossbows to fight back, but the range was not enough. The Wei army could beat him, but he could not beat the Wei army, and he could not even take advantage of the city wall.
This made Gongsun Kang very frightened and he had no idea what to do.
