The forty-third chapter army siege (3)
Xu Yuanzhi saw the refugees around him and looked at the grain officer kneeling in front of Tang Feng. Before Tang Feng could speak, Xu Yuanzhi said, "Don't make things difficult for the grain officer. I asked him to do this. If you want to punish me, I, Xu, will never say anything!"
The grain official kneeling in front of Tang Feng heard Xu Yuanzhi say this, and quickly took responsibility and said, "It was the villain who did it himself, and it has nothing to do with Mr. Xu. If the governor wants to punish him, just punish the villain!"
Tang Feng looked at all this without saying anything. Xu Yuanzhi walked past Tang Feng and helped up the kneeling grain official. The grain official followed Xu Yuanzhi's old subordinates before Tang Feng took over Shunzhou.
Xu Yuanzhi helped the grain official up and said again: "I said I wanted him to do this! How can I punish you for whatever you want!"
Tang Feng looked at Xu Yuanzhi calmly: "Just because I didn't agree to your suggestion, do you have to try different ways to force these refugees?"
After listening to Tang Feng's words, Xu Yuanzhi calmly burst out with anger that had been hidden for a long time and shouted to Tang Feng: "If I don't do this, why should you defend Shunzhou, use your kindness, or use your weakness?"
Tang Feng looked at the angry Xu Yuanzhi without answering.
"If you do this, Shunzhou City will not be able to defend for a day. Your kindness will only make you see a more miserable end in the end!" Xu Yuan said coldly, angrily.
"Since I have said it, it will not change again. Shunzhou must be guarded and refugees must be kept!" Tang Feng also replied firmly again.
"Come here, the grain officials have changed their military orders privately. Thinking that there is a reason for this, serious crimes can be avoided, and misdemeanors cannot be spared. Take them out and beat 30 military sticks to show punishment!" Tang Feng said to Xu Yuanzhi and continued to order the guards beside him.
The guards who heard Tang Feng's orders pulled the grain officer aside. In front of Tang Feng, Xu Yuanzhi and the refugees beat the grain officer 30 military sticks. The grain officer was also a man, and he didn't say a word after carrying the 30 military sticks.
After seeing the punishment, Tang Feng turned around and left without saying a word, leaving Xu Yuanzhi standing there blankly.
Is that unique style going to stop here? Did I finally choose the wrong choice? Xu Yuanzhi sighed in my heart.
Tang Feng, who returned to the Shunzhou Bureau, spent an irritable night. At dawn, he came to Shunzhou City Tower to replace Liu Minghai and Huang Jizu to guard the city. He also asked them to rest for a while and closed their eyes. Tang Feng led his personal soldiers to patrol and walk around, greeted the soldiers on duty, urging them to defend carefully, and carefully check the defensive shortcomings in various places, so as to be foolproof!
The sky gradually brightened, and smoke rose up in the opposite Xianbei camp, and the pot was raised to make rice. Tang Feng was not that good. Because the grain was rationed, although the soldiers guarding the city could have one more meal, two meals a day, breakfast was gone and they ate it early in the morning. Why did they get until the evening? They usually distributed food once at noon, and then again at the time before going to bed at night.
The grain rationing system has just been implemented for a few days, and the impact on soldiers is not very large yet. However, if this is the case for a long time, I don’t know what to do. At this time, Tang Feng was looking at the Xianbei camp opposite and worried.
Seeing Xianbei build a meal and then go to exercise early, time passed by little, and soon it was noon. The logistics personnel brought food one after another. After receiving the meal, the soldiers guarding the city chewed it slowly and ate it slowly. In fact, pickles were accompanied by porridge and two steamed buns, but there was nothing to choose. In a few days, it would probably be a luxury to eat these things.
Tang Feng looked around and still didn't see Xu Yuanzhi at this time. If it were usual, Xu Yuanzhi would have arrived at the Shunzhou City Tower. I wonder if he was worried about what happened last night.
In fact, Xu Yuanzhi was not angry because Tang Feng beat the grain official and then got angry. But now he doubted whether his choice was right or wrong in his heart in pain. He had not left yet, but was waiting for the result of Tang Feng. He never agreed with Tang Feng's kindness, but admired his persistence and his innocent and flawless brotherhood.
At noon, Murong Ren led his Xianbei army to start his second siege. The weather gradually became colder and at noon, it was relatively mild, which facilitated the movement of soldiers.
The Xianbei army was majestic at the city of Shunzhou, and the entire city of Shunzhou quickly entered a state of combat. Tang Feng, Liu Minghai and Huang Jizu guarded each key point respectively, but Xu Yuanzhi was still not seen at this time.
The Xianbei war drums were beating, and the army began to attack the city. Unlike yesterday's temptation, this attack was obviously more powerful and the number of people was also greater. It seemed that Murong Ren intended to do something real and gun. In fact, Murong Ren really had such a little meaning in his heart.
The war was extremely fierce. The rolling wood, stones, tincture oil and other piled up in many places on the city tower were used up. Soldiers on the city walls could be seen everywhere holding Xianbei Huyi and jumping down the city tower, burning them with both jade and stone. The cruelty of the Han people towards the Xianbei is obvious to all. If the Xianbei people break the city, the people waiting for Shunzhou and their wives and children will be massacred one after another.
Tang Feng led his personal soldiers to put out the fire with an elite steel knife, fighting with the Xianbei Huyi who climbed up. Liu Minghai and Huang Jizu were in the same situation, blocking the Xianbei Huyi's uptown. The city tower was in full swing, and the Xianbei Huyi's attack on the city gate did not weaken at all. With the continuous impact of giant trees, the Shunzhou city gate seemed to be shaky, and it was probably only a matter of time to break the door.
"Sir, no, the city gate is about to be broken by the Xianbei!" Tang Feng, who was fighting fiercely, heard the shouts of the young general not far away.
Tang Feng hurriedly led a few people to the main gate and looked down at the Xianbei Hu Yi who was hitting the door violently. So Tang Feng and a few people picked up the remaining pots of hot oil not far away, smashed the Korean Hu Yi and lit a torch. The city gate suddenly ignited a raging fire, and the Xianbei soldiers who were burned into fireballs ran around.
Murong Ren, who was supervising the battle behind, saw all this, took the bow and arrow, and shot Tang Feng on the city tower with a full bow and arrow. He was about to hit Tang Feng. The personal soldiers beside Tang Feng quickly looked and shouted, "Beware of the Governor!" At the same time, he used his body to block Tang Feng. As a result, the arrow shot the personal soldiers solidly, and then he was shot into the arrow and fell into the city.
Tang Feng didn't catch it, but just stared at Murong Ren in the distance. Seeing this, Murong Ren threw away the bow and arrow in his hand, grabbed the two sticks from the drummer's hand, and went forward to beat the drum to help.
Seeing his commander like this, the Xianbei army suddenly became very motivated, and the soldiers who climbed and attacked the city became more and more brave. The Xianbei soldiers in front of the city gate went forward to support the giant trees and hit the city gate. With a "bang", the city gate collapsed with a bang.
