Chapter 375 reinforcements should not come too early
Guo Cheng's expression remained unchanged and said, "I have written to the Shuxian. The Shuxian has authorized me to act cheaply before, so there is no need to panic."
The Yao brothers secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knelt on one knee, and said in a deep voice: "The last general will take the order!"
As the two said, they turned around and left.
Although the Xia people came suddenly, they were not completely unprepared. Now they are just dispatching urgently and are not very panicked.
Guo Cheng stood at the top of the city, looking at the already clearly visible Xia people's flag, with bright eyes and firm expressions.
The Xia people arrived very quickly, and the army walked around the city and surrounded Pingxia City!
The Yao brothers delivered various messages while making emergency arrangements.
"Deputy General Manager, the Xia people are afraid that they will attack the city soon!" Yao Xiong looked at the Xia people gathering, his face showing a congestion.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Gu came over and said anxiously: "Deputy Manager, there is a team of people who seem to be ambushing..."
Guo Cheng was not in a hurry, but instead smiled and said, "What's hard to guess? It's nothing more than siege the city and block reinforcements. Let them attack the city and tell all the soldiers that our Pingxia City has sufficient food and supplies, and it will be fine if it supports for half a year."
For a sudden outbreak of war, half a year has been a long time.
The army of 300,000 and half a year of food and supplies is definitely not an easy task for the Xia people.
The Yao brothers suddenly felt relieved and then became full of confidence.
There are 20,000 troops in Pingxia City, so it is absolutely fine to defend him for three months!
But soon, the confidence of the Yao brothers was tested.
The Xia people came quickly and their offensives were even more fierce, almost unstoppable. They surrounded Pingxia City? They were sure that the Song army could not stand, so they immediately launched a fierce attack.
The focus is on the West Gate? and the South Gate.
Under the south gate? Xia army rushed over like a tide, climbing the wall ladders one by one? The city-breaking hammer even advanced towards the gate.
The archers below flew archers onto the city walls under the escort of the shield soldiers.
"Shoot the arrow!"
"Shoot the arrow!"
"Shoot the arrow!"
Yao Xiong held up the knife? He shouted back and forth on the city wall.
The Song army on the city wall? Maybe the field battle is not good, but the city is experienced.
Various improved firearms appeared on the top of the city wall, whip arrows, that is, arrows were tied with gunpowder? Continuously shooting down? Although the power is not much compared to later generations, it still exploded one by one, far beyond ordinary bows and arrows.
Some soldiers were throwing balls one by one, the official name was: Fire caltrop. This is a simple grenade. Once it exploded, the poisonous smoke scattered, and iron filings flew away? The lethality is great.
There are more than a dozen iron guys in several city piers? They are called thunderbolts, and soldiers fill their ammunition? They ignite and fire.
The sound was like thunder? Gunpowder shot out? It fell to the ground and exploded. Several feet of people were lying on their horses, and the dust was flying, which was shocking.
The Song army used a large number of firearms, which caused huge damage in just a short period of time.
The Xia army was in chaos, and strict orders came from behind. The chaotic Xia army rushed back again, regardless of life and death.
Yao Xiong was worried at first that as a stick of incense passed, seeing that the Xia army could not attack, he gradually stabilized his confidence and shouted back and forth to prevent the Xia army from climbing the city.
Ximen.
Yao Gu was more calm, commanding the city to defend, and at the same time listening to all directions and collecting various information.
Half an hour later, seeing that the Xia army's offensive was blocked and could not get to the city, Yao Gu gave a lecture and hurried back to the yamen in the city.
Yao Gu stood in front of Guo Cheng, staring at the map, with a calm expression on his face, and said calmly: "Deputy General Manager, from the moment, there are more than 100,000 Xia troops near Pingxia City. In addition, the five cities near us may have fallen... We are an isolated city."
Guo Cheng was still staring at the map and said, "The news should be received from Qinzhou, and reinforcements will soon be available. There is no doubt about the strategy of the Prime Minister's military strategy. Don't worry too much. What we are considering is how to cooperate."
Yao Gu was stunned and stunned. They are now besieged and have a 100,000 army siege. Shouldn’t they worry about themselves?
Once Pingxia City falls, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Guo Cheng pointed to Jingyuan Road and said thoughtfully: "I hope they will come later, and it will be troublesome too early."
Yao Gu became more and more confused. Jingyuan Road is closest to them and the rescue is the fastest. Why do you want them to come later?
Guo Cheng's ears were thunder, and accompanied by the fighting and shouting, he pondered carefully for a while, saying, "Hold them first. As long as Pingxia City is still there, they cannot continue to move south."
Yao Gu didn't know what Guo Cheng was thinking, so he stepped forward and whispered: "Deputy Manager, don't forget that the official family is in Qinzhou."
Guo Cheng frowned, then let go, and said, "There is Mr. Zhang on the official side, so we don't need to worry."
As he said that, he turned around Jingyuan Road, Qinfeng Road, Xihe Road, and Huanqing Road, and finally landed on Pingxia City.
His expression gradually became solemn, and he knocked his fingers on it.
Yao Gu heard the shouts of killing outside, and ignored everything else, and said again, turned around and went up to the top of the city.
In Pingxia City, the fight became more and more intense.
The Xia people were determined to win the battle against Xia City. The 100,000 troops besieged the city and attacked the city at all costs. It took two hours to stop the troops.
The Song army was not very happy and was busy packing up the bodies and repairing the city walls. This was the first day and tomorrow would be more intense.
The Xia army's rear army is coming. Once more than 200,000 troops gather, the small Pingxia City may not be able to stop it for long.
It was naturally clear to the Song Dynasty that the pigeons flying out of Qinzhou had never stopped. Zhang Feng was distributing the entire Shaanxi Sixth Road and even Hedong Road.
At this time, Jingyuan Road, Baoshan City, closest to Pingxia City, deputy general manager Zhong Pu, deputy general Guo Zude, Fang Zicheng and others have received news and are discussing countermeasures.
Guo Zude was Guo Cheng's sworn brother, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Deputy General Manager, it is crucial to pacify Xia City and cannot be misunderstood. The last general suggested that troops should be sent immediately to help, and no delay."
Fang Zicheng stretched out his head and said, "The last general also thinks it should be rescued. If Pingxia City is a mistake, the bandits and iron cavalry will be flat, and there is no danger to guard Jingyuan Road. You can also bypass Huanqing Road and go straight to Qinfeng Road. The official family is there!"
When everyone mentioned this, they looked shocked.
Zhong Pu glanced at the two of them, but didn't say anything.
Zhongpu, the son of Zhong Yan, and the grandson of Zhong Shiheng, and Zhong Shidao and Zhong Shidao are cousins, and they are all grandchildren of the Zong family army.
Zhong Pu didn't speak and glanced at the side general beside him.
Wang Shunchen was stunned and said, "I don't know."
Zhong Pu laughed and said, "You don't know."
As he said that, he looked at Fang Zicheng, Guo Zude, with a serious expression, and said, "The idea of this general is that if you don't save me, don't worry, listen to me. First, my total military force in Baoshan City is only 6,000. This is the drop in the bucket. Most of the time, there are no return, and it will be useless. Second, the reason why Pingxia City is persistent is that there are reinforcements. If we are defeated, the confidence of the soldiers guarding the city will inevitably be damaged. Third, who is General Guo? The Prime Minister once said: He is not as good as he knows the military. With General Guo, Pingxia City will be completely worry-free. At least half a month, there will be no trouble!"
Guo Zude, Fang Zicheng, and Wang Shunchen was stunned and stunned when he heard this.
Zhong Pu's words sounded very reasonable, but they were still suspected of not saving them!
Guo Zude was worried about his brothers and hesitated for a while, saying, "It is not the last general who refuted the general, and the city of Xia is in danger. We are in danger of holding troops. We will not be able to escape afterwards."
Seeing that the few people did not insist, Zhong Pu felt relieved and said, "So, we have to send troops, but we must be more secret. I will write to Zhe Shuai later, hiding out during the day and going out at night, approaching Pingxia City, waiting for reinforcements to join us, and take the opportunity to fight!"
Fang Zicheng and Guo Zude looked at each other. Even though he still felt awkward, he still stood up and saluted, and said in a deep voice: "The last general will take the order."
Zhong Pu smiled and looked out. It was already half past July, and the weather was about to get worse.
Guo Cheng from Pingxia City never thought that he was worried that reinforcements would come too early, and Zhong Pu felt that it was not appropriate to rush to help immediately.
Outside the west gate of Pingxia City.
The big tent of the commander Wei Ming Abang from the sixth route.
Wei Ming Abian is tall, has a big beard and bright eyes. When he stands, he gives people a feeling of being like a mountain.
"In three days, within three days, Pingxia City must be broken. This is my promise to the Empress Dowager!" Wei Ming's thick voice echoed in the big tent.
"Receive the order!"
The Xixia people responded in a terrifying way in the future.
Therefore, the siege of Pingxia City began more intensely than yesterday.
Chapter completed!
