Chapter 464 Turtle Shell
Pingzhou, Liaodong County, outside Houcheng
Tuoba Xun and He Lanyan stood in the distance, looking at the city tower that had been renovated in Houcheng and was taller than before.
He Lanyan watched the forward soldiers of their Xianbei army finally overcome many difficulties. The warriors who used the ladder to attack the city were overturned by the Pingzhou soldiers standing on the city wall. The two of them worked together and fell from a height. , there was no sound after landing.
He Lanyan looked solemn and said, "Prince, the gates and walls of Hou City have been repaired, which makes it more difficult for us to attack the city." Even the previous catapults could not exert 50% of their previous power.
Tuoba Xun looked at the city gate that was still motionless after suffering such a heavy impact, and said nothing.
This is the third time they have launched an attack. The first two were tests, but this time they are serious about it. Some of their warriors stormed the city wall of Hou City, and the warriors on the ground also rushed to the city gate, and worked together to carry the knocking wood and hit the city gate.
But it didn't work.
Their Xianbei army attacked Pingzhou and chose Houcheng, Liaodong County and Longcheng, Liaoxi County.
Obviously, these two places are also the key defense points of Liaodong County.
Tuoba Xun thought that their army's attack on Liaodong County was not going well, "I wonder how the battle is going in Liaoxi County?"
"The news came a few days ago that Wuhuan defeated Jinyang City and the northern army retreated to Baihe Town. The fourth army led by Lonely General and the Fourth Prince has occupied Yanmen. At present, there is no good news about the first, second and third armies. out."
"We have to step up. Let the soldiers withdraw first. Let's study how to effectively break through the city gate in front of us."
"yes."
Pingzhou, Liaoxi County, Longcheng
Tuobalian did not have the good temper of his elder brother, and faced a city gate that could not be conquered for a long time.
He directly yelled, "Everyone is a loser. We can't even attack a city! What's the use of you!" As he said this, he even wanted to take action.
Yuchi Rui grabbed Tuobalian's whip and said, "The seventh prince is angry, not because the soldiers are not careful, but because the city has become very strong after construction and is difficult to conquer for a while." He guessed that Pingzhou should have used some new methods. Make the city extremely strong and not afraid of being soaked by water.
The soldiers on the side nodded repeatedly, yes, this city is like a turtle shell, it cannot be broken open, not at all.
"You won't report such important news?" Tuoba roared. He originally wanted to be the first to attack the city and take the lead, but now he can't get in. He is too irritated.
He had already reported the grievance of the subordinate responsible for keeping watch. He had reported it when Pingzhou had just built the city gate and wall. But the superiors didn't take it seriously. What could he do?
Yuchi Rui sent the soldiers away and summoned the relevant generals to discuss the important matters of siege.
Chang'an, Zuofu
Zuo Anmin has been having trouble sleeping and eating recently. He has already rushed to write a letter to his nephew, and he doesn't know when he will receive it.
At this time, the confidant butler came in and said, "Master, there is a letter coming from the south!"
Zuo Anmin took it and looked at it, his eyes trembled.
"Master?" The confidant butler wanted to ask if he had any orders.
Zuo Anmin gave up and let him go down.
Zuo Anmin pressed hard on the letter from his family head, and his heart was filled with struggle.
In the southernmost part of Beiping County, on a hilltop near Liaoxi County, Weihu Village
Chen Jinlong, Lu Dayou, Gao Lei, Ding Hansheng, Yan Tianqing and others sat down one by one.
On the contrary, it was his majestic leader of the Tiger Village who stood there, but he did not dare to get angry or speak out when faced with their dove-taking of the magpie's nest.
"Zhu Peng, do you think everything will be fine if you move Weihu Village to Youbeiping County?" Lu Dayou crossed his legs, feeling that his soul was being tortured.
Zhu Peng looked sad, but he had already moved away and it would be a disaster if he was no longer in Liaoxi County. Why couldn't he let him go?
"But you are smart and didn't resist, otherwise your head would have been moved by now."
"Didn't I see all the brothers here? How dare I be so presumptuous?" Zhu Peng repeatedly begged for mercy.
"He is a wise man."
"Blessings are yet to come."
"Yes, you are as 'lucky' as we are!"
Zhu Peng's heart trembled as he listened to what they said to each other. How could he smell the word "blessing" that made him grit his teeth?
"Brothers, please be merciful with your words." The more he spoke, the more frightened he became. Stop talking to him, wuwu——
"Okay, don't scare him." Chen Jinlong said sternly, "But you are lucky, our Sixth Master wants to use your name of Weihu Village. You have to ask your brothers to cooperate later, don't blame Brother, don’t remind you, don’t try any tricks, otherwise you will die without a burial place!”
Zhu Peng: "Don't dare." The other party must have extraordinary abilities after conquering so many bandit leaders. He is just a little shrimp, how can he dare to dance in front of him?
If he dared to dance, people like Chen Jinlong might be able to hold him down without him having to do it himself.
"The one who started the conversation just now was Mr. Liu?" Zhu Peng asked. This Sixth Master is very well-known in Pingzhou bandit circles, and he is the kind of person who is frightened by the news.
Lu Dayou said lazily, "Yes."
As soon as he led them into the cottage, the other party said he wanted to go shopping, and Zhu Peng couldn't stop him.
For some reason, his eyelids jumped.
Half an hour later, Zhu Peng's bitter face became even more bitter.
Chen Jinlong patted him on the shoulder, "We are all the same."
“If the old doesn’t go, the new won’t come.”
"Don't give up on those dirty money!"
Zhu Peng: You all say it so easily, those are all his property! Years of property! It's gone in the blink of an eye!
At this time, Qin Sheng came in, "The third Xianbei army broke through the northern checkpoint of Youbeiping County, everyone get ready."
After he finished his instructions, he also went to make preparations.
As soon as he left, Chen Jinlong and others spoke again, and they were all very jealous.
"You are lucky, kid, you are lucky."
"Sixth Master asked us to pretend to be your younger brothers and listen to your orders. You are very lucky."
"That's right, you dare to lead your brothers, you will have to pay me ten taels of silver later!"
Zhu Peng was trembling with fear, each of them was his elder brother, this blessing, he didn't dare to accept it at all, but he had to accept it.
