Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 395 The Dust Settles
When the enemy retreated slowly in the night again, cheers erupted in the city.

Compared with before, this time there is no dignity.

Even the reason is not because the Jizhou Army was repulsed by them again
But at this time, everyone in the city knew one thing.

The former General Tiangong, now Xuzhou Mu, Wang Zheng has come to Fenggao!
That's enough!
Everyone didn't even notice that he only brought more than 3000 troops. From a rational point of view, it is impossible for this force to defeat the tens of thousands of Jizhou troops outside the city, and it may not be possible for Feng Gao to survive. The moment when a group of reinforcements arrive.

Both soldiers and civilians, they fanatically believed that since Wang Zheng chose to venture into the city, there would be no possibility of Feng Gao being breached!
Of course, Wang Zheng will not seek his own death.

Not to mention Fenggao, but Xiapi. If he is really unsure, he will not be able to enter the dangerous situation when the enemy encircles him. The key is that Wang Zheng has enough confidence in his own military strength.

Of the 3000 troops he brought this time, [-] veterans among them have all become third-tier soldiers now!

Under such circumstances, if you don't hesitate to lose the battle, you can have a head-to-head confrontation with the Jizhou army outside the city. Of course, it is impossible to win a sure victory, but the power of a battle is definitely there!
This charge has proved this point.

If it is to defend the city, as long as there is no problem with the supply of food and grass, Wang Zheng believes that it will definitely not be a problem to defend the city for a month or two!
What's more, there is still power in Fenggao City.

The defenders who have been almost completely disabled can't expect too much at the moment, but after the appearance of Wang Zheng, it can not only greatly improve the morale and morale of the army, but also allow these remnants to rest for a few days after seeing hope .

Don't underestimate the past few days, the 1000 people who have recovered their combat power may have a greater effect than the exhausted thousands of people.

On the other hand, there are people.

Because he knew the details of these "Xin Feng Gao people" and felt that they were of little use, Chang Xi did not mobilize too much people's power in the defense of the city these days.

Wang Zheng didn't have this concern, let alone treat it that way.

The Qingzhou refugees who can come to Xuzhou with him have no problem in loyalty. If Wang Zheng orders them, they will inevitably explode with amazing potential, which is another force to defend the city.

And it won't be long!

The Jizhou Army's offensive is so fierce that it doesn't care about the cost, there is no possibility of it continuing for a long time!

Although he is not sure how determined Yuan Tan is, Wang Zheng still feels that without the loyalty lock of his own system, it must be the limit of the Jizhou army to maintain it for a few more days.

If the fight continues, even if Yuan Tan wants to continue, those soldiers will probably rebel!
Yuan Jun camp outside the city.

Now the cold spring season has actually passed, even the nights in the wild are no longer cold, but today's tent is as lonely as winter.

The guards guarding outside also heard the major general's yelling, and the crisp sound of bowls breaking. The atmosphere did not dare to breathe.

Yuan Tan really can't care about the demeanor of Mingzhu anymore!

When Yuan Tan was unable to attack Feng Gao for a long time before, Yuan Tan was dissatisfied and angry, but finally endured it.
When he learned that the granary was burned, Yuan Tan was also anxious and hesitant, but he still restrained himself and did not vent his anger on the generals under him.
But seeing Wang Zheng leading a team of people majesticly breaking into Feng Gao who was surrounded by him today, Yuan Tan was completely annoyed!
Especially when it is learned that the opponent has only 3000 troops.
What a joke!
At this moment, Yuan Tan's face was so gloomy that he was about to drop water, his eyes kept wandering in the tent like knives, and countless thoughts kept echoing in his mind.

Seeing that the handsome young master in the past lost his composure today, it was obvious that he was on the head of rage, and everyone in the tent fell silent, even Guo Tuxinpi was very sensible and didn't speak, not daring to touch this Mildew.

For a while, the tent was so quiet that a needle could be heard falling, and the atmosphere was extremely suppressed.

After a long while, Yuan Tan finally calmed down again, he let out a long breath, first he called people to collect the broken porcelain, cleaned up the water stains, and then said slowly: "My lords, reinforcements have arrived in Fenggao City, what can we do for it? "

Seeing this, Guo Tu stepped out cautiously: "Major General, the only solution now is to withdraw the troops!"

"Why?"

Hearing this, Yuan Tan immediately raised his sword eyebrows, glanced sideways and asked, "This trilogy only has 3000 troops, which is not harmful to the overall situation. Why is it only the second day, and Guo Jijiu said he was going to withdraw his troops?"

Hearing the indifference in the other party's tone, Guo Tu's heart skipped a beat, but under such circumstances, even though he knew that Yuan Tan might not like to hear the next words, he still wanted to continue talking.

"There are not many supporting soldiers, but they are all elite, so don't underestimate them!"

Guo Tu caressed the thin beard under his lips, looked at Yuan Tan seriously and said, "Besides, the most important thing is that Wang Zheng has entered the city!"

"Isn't that a good thing?"

At this moment Simpi interrupted and said: "It is said that when shooting a man, shoot the horse first, and when capturing a thief, first capture the king, this Lizi is so unwise, he has fallen into a tiger's mouth, compared to him, now Feng Gao is insignificant!"

"If we can capture this person, no matter whether we capture him alive or kill him, we will defeat a great enemy!"

"From now on, don't say that there is only one county in Mount Tai, but the whole Xuzhou, and it is also in our army!"

Yuan Tan on the side couldn't help but relax a little when he heard this, and nodded slightly, obviously Xin Pi's words were very much in line with his wishes.

"On the contrary!" But Guo Tu shook his head and sighed: "It is Wang Zheng who has entered Fenggao, so our army has to take the initiative to withdraw, and we have to make a decisive decision!"

"This son rose from the rank and file, and was born in the army. Although he is a raccoon who has no ruler and ministers and no loyalty in his heart, he is definitely not a stupid generation!"

"Back then, Linzi, one of the five capitals of the Han Dynasty, had no long-term possessions, so he gave up as soon as he said it. It can be said that he was very decisive. In exchange for today's foundation, he now occupies a state. Could it be that he has become a small family instead? "

Looking around at the crowd, Guo Tu's voice kept rising, his cheeks and forehead were covered with sweat under his excitement, and he stared angrily, looking ferocious:
"Which is more important, Wang Zheng's life or Fenggao Yicheng? Everyone in the world will choose wrongly, but only one person will definitely not choose wrongly!"

Hearing this, everyone who was moved by Simpi's words before became awed.

Yes, others like them still feel that for Wang Zheng, Feng Gao has become dispensable. Doesn't Wang Zheng himself know it?
Don't say that today's Wang Zheng, who is sitting in the land of seven counties and has 10 horses, is the poor and white Wang Zheng back then. Could it be that Feng Gao is more important than his own life?

Yuan Tan was also startled and fell into deep thought.

Seeing that the heat had come, Guo Tuchang couldn't afford to bow, and said in a low voice to the young master in front of him: "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. From the picture, there is only one possibility!"

"What's possible?" Yuan Tan asked sideways.

"This son wants to use his body as bait!"

Guo Tu paused every word: "Induce our army to stay in Fenggao!"

"And if we really fall into this trick, Major General, I'm afraid something will go wrong."

As for what happened, I won't say any more.

But everyone has already understood that a bait is Xuzhou's most important bargaining chip, so what kind of huge profits do they want to get, big fish?

One Yuan Tan is far from enough!

What Wang Zheng wants is for the entire Jizhou army to be overthrown!

Although I don't know what the opponent's last move is, but now that I have figured it out, the best way to deal with it is naturally not to fall into the trap, not to fall into the trap, and withdraw immediately!

Under such circumstances, it is really meaningless to continue to try to attack for another day. First of all, everyone knows that Feng Gao will definitely not be able to attack tomorrow.

Although compassion does not command soldiers, generals should understand the meaning of gains and losses. If it is unnecessary, then no soldier should be sent to sacrifice!

Under Fenggao City, the people of Jizhou have shed too much blood. Although they are very unwilling, in the face of reality, Guo Tu believes that he should choose the latter.

After some eloquent discussions, everyone in the tent, including Simpi, finally supported this opinion.

And Yuan Tan made the right choice after pondering for a long time.

no way.
Although it is not clear what Wang Zheng's next move is, even if the battle in Beihai has not yet been decided, and it is clear that he has no soldiers at the moment, Yuan Tan agrees with Guo Tu's judgment, even though he is full of hostility towards Wang Zheng, he has never Think the other person is a stupid and incompetent person.

What's more, even if he can block this last move, what should we do next?

A state shepherd came to the front line in person, and brought thousands of soldiers to join the defense of the city. How could Feng Gao last for another three to five days, but how long could his own food last?
Although Yuan Tan has sent people back to Linzi to urge grain, who can guarantee that Wang Zheng will not arrange other soldiers to harass and attack in the middle of the road, and that the new grain will be delivered in full?
In this case, Yuan Tan wouldn't dare to bet even if it was a one in ten thousand possibility!
Nearly 3 soldiers and horses have died, and the remaining [-] Jizhou Army must not be buried in his hands!

Feng Gao was besieged for 38 days.

The dawn of dawn.

After a night of rest, the Xuzhou army, who had entered the city overnight, didn't bother to boil water for cooking, and ate some dry food at will, and immediately began to change defenses.

While the defenders in the city watched with curiosity and joy in exhaustion, three thousand Xuzhou troops took over the four walls one after another, and a batch of ordnance and supplies brought by the army were also quickly moved to the top of the city.

Taking advantage of the gap before the enemy attacked, Wang Zheng also boarded the city wall under the arch of his personal guards, and looked at the city under his rule again along the way.

The sight in front of him reminded him of some unpleasant memories.

Same dilapidated, chaotic and lifeless
The same strong smell of blood and rancidity can be smelled at the tip of the nose.

Similarly, Gu Pan can see corpses that have not been cleaned up everywhere around Gu Pan. Inside and outside the city walls, there are stray arrows and gravel everywhere, as well as the ashes of the bonfire that burned at night.
Only this time, all this was caused by Yuan Tan and the Jizhou Army.
And last time.
Thinking of this, Wang Zheng's expression became complicated.

At this time, seeing Zhou Mu go up to the top of the city surrounded by personal guards, Chang Xi and all the soldiers stopped what they were doing and saluted one after another.

"Don't be too polite."

Wang Zheng waved his hands with a heavy heart, signaling them to continue working, then crossed a section of the city wall that had been stained dark red by blood stains, and looked under Fenggao City with his head.

At this moment, the sky has completely brightened.

In the barracks in the field of vision, there were people moving around and smoke and dust billowing. I saw a large number of soldiers busy, but they didn't know what they were busy with. Judging by the posture, although they were gathering and lined up, they didn't look like they were about to attack the city.

"Before this point in time"

Wang Zheng asked Chang Xi, "Has the Jizhou army attacked the city yet?"

After getting an affirmative answer, Wang Zheng looked outside the city thoughtfully, and had a vague guess in his heart.

Perhaps, Yuan Tan finally gave up?

In fact, not only Wang Zheng, Chang Xi also had strong doubts about this.

Now that the backbone is here, he finally had a rare and long-awaited sleep last night, and when he climbed to the top of the city today, he looked refreshed and excited, and immediately discovered some clues.

According to yesterday's momentum, the Jizhou people are obviously preparing to step up the offensive. Seeing that night battles are possible, it makes no sense to launch the offensive the next day later than usual, right?
The only explanation is that after one night, the opponent changed his strategy!
If the two of them were just suspicious at first, then as time goes by,
Seeing that the Jizhou army even began to dismantle the camps, the meaning of this move was already very obvious.

Even many ordinary city guards have already seen it.

"Finally get out!"

For this opponent who has been fighting hard with his family for a month, Chang Xi is not only fortunate, but even more proud, after all, he is the one who wins in the end.

"Zhou Mu, it seems that although I was beaten badly this time, I still managed to keep Feng Gao!" Even with Wang Zheng by his side, Chang Xi couldn't hide his excitement, and laughed loudly: "Besides, these northern barbarians are not Have a great time!"

"Now it's the one who retreated despite the difficulties?"

Although he was boasting, in fact, the Taishan bandit knew very well in his heart that the arrival of Wang Zheng is the biggest winner in the war, and it is the straw that breaks the camel's back!

Otherwise, it would definitely be my family that collapsed first!

But in any case, with the departure of the Jizhou people, Fenggao City, which had been besieged for more than a month, was finally about to be relieved. As the flag of the Jizhou people was lowered, the army slowly pulled out the camp unwillingly, and the new soldiers on the top of the city cheered.

Although most of what they brought to them in the past few days were victories, almost all cavalry charged forward. Panic.

But no one expected that the enemy would retreat without a fight at this time!
The news and joy of victory spread quickly from the top of the city, first reaching the ears of the remnants of the Fenggao defenders, and then spreading throughout the city in just an hour.

The Jizhou people have withdrawn their troops!
Because they did not experience that kind of protracted and cruel bloody battle, although the Xuzhou army was happy, they did not feel particularly deeply touched. The soldiers of the Fenggao garrison were different. The surviving soldiers all sobbed excitedly.

The tens of thousands of people in the city felt like celebrating the new year.

Especially those refugees who have seen the world, they naturally know how brutal the Fenggao war has been during this period of time!
It is also clearer that under such circumstances, once the Jizhou army breaks through the city, what will most likely do!
Some of them have experienced those things more than once, even
Also participated more than once!
Now that the cloud that had accumulated in their hearts finally dissipated, everyone breathed a sigh of relief!
The city, which was originally lifeless, became lively in an instant.
