Chapter 246 Siege Shangguan Xiu's reply made Jiang Lian and Di Qing feel relieved.
When the central army of the imperial court entered Zhenjun, they did not launch an attack on Jiang Lian's rebels and Di Qing's rebels.
Instead, they crossed directly through Zhendong and headed toward Zhenzhong.
Heading into the region.
As the Central Army entered Zhen County, Shangguan Xiu certainly had to take advantage of this rare opportunity.
Even though he knew that the Central Army was not coming for the rebels, it could deter the rebels from all walks of life and prevent them from easily assisting Shi Kaiwen.
Shortly after the Central Army entered Zhenjun, Shangguan Xiu personally led 100,000 Zhenxi troops from Jinchuan County to Zhangwu County, where Xijing is located.
At the same time, the Guanglin First Division sent troops from Nanling County to capture Shuangtai County.
Zhan Xiong led 20,000 Zhenxi troops to send troops from Beiqiu County to capture Tailai County.
The three armies of the Zhenxi Army attacked the three counties of Zhenzhong at the same time, with great momentum.
Judging from their momentum, they wanted to capture the Zhenzhong area in one fell swoop and completely wipe out Shi Kaiwen's rebels.
The closest place to Jinchuan County is Peicheng in Zhangwu County.
There are no city captains in Peicheng, only the city lord named Ji Kai, who is Shi Kaiwen's confidant.
There are more than 5,000 soldiers in the city.
For a small city, five thousand defenders is already a lot, but in front of a hundred thousand troops, five thousand defenders are really nothing.
After the Zhenxi Army arrived in Peicheng, Shangguan Xiudu did not order to set up camp.
One hundred thousand troops lined up in front of Peicheng City.
Looking around, the military formation was so dark that one could not see the edges at a glance.
This was the real sea of people.
Boundless.
Without fighting, just looking at the terrifying momentum of the Zhenxi Army has already frightened the rebels.
Not long after, a soldier from the camp of the Zhenxi Army rode towards Peicheng.
When he entered Peicheng a hundred steps away, an arrow flew down from the top of the city and was nailed to the ground in front of the horse.
The soldier tightened the reins of the war horse and stopped the horse.
He raised his eyes to the top of Peicheng City, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly: "Rebels in the city, listen, our Zhenxi Army came to suppress the rebellion under the order of the imperial court.
Now we surrender and surrender Peicheng City.
If there is still a way to survive, if not, my 100,000-strong army will crush Peicheng and your bones will not be left."
When he finished shouting, there was silence on the top of the city, without even a single reply.
The soldier urged his horse forward again and continued shouting: "Surrendering out of the city is the only way out for you, stubborn ones, It can only be death without a burial place."
Before he could finish his words, suddenly, an arrow shot down from the top of the city like a meteor.
The arrow hit the red tassel on the soldier's helmet.
There was a click in the ear, and the red tassel was forcibly cut.
Immediately afterwards, someone on the top of the city shouted: "Eagles and dogs of the imperial court, if you have any ability, just use it.
I, Ji Kai, and my subordinates swear to live and die with Peicheng."
The soldier of the Zhenxi Army touched the top of his helmet and was so angry that his teeth itched.
Without another word, he turned his horse's head and returned to the main formation.
Hearing that the rebels in Peicheng refused to surrender, Shangguan Xiu, who was sitting on his horse, looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, then looked around at the generals, and said slowly: "Our army has been traveling for days and has not had a good rest.
Today Our officers and soldiers will have lunch in Peicheng City, and they will be stationed in Peicheng tonight."
Hearing this, An Yifu immediately nodded in response and shouted to the ordering soldiers around him: "Go down with the order, set up the trebuchet, and attack with all our strength."
Following An Yifu's order, all the soldiers rushed out on horseback.
While urging the horses to run forward, people shouted loudly: "The general has given the order, set up the trebuchet, and attack the city with all our strength.
The general has given the order."
For a time, the Zhenxi Army's camp was filled with orders.
As the general conveyed the message, the drummers began to beat the drums to cheer up, and the sound of the drums was shocking to the eardrums.
At the front line of the Jeongseo Army's camp, the soldiers pulled the ropes and shouted uniformly.

Dozens of trebuchets were pushed out of the Jeongseo Army's camp and fixed in front of their own army's formation.
Then, people Start turning the winch and loading stones into the tray of the trebuchet.
When the trebuchets were all ready, the general in charge of the trebuchets raised the command flag high and waved it forward.
Seeing the general's signal, the soldiers released the winch.
Due to gravity and the lever principle, the heavy side of the trebuchet dropped rapidly, and the tray containing the stones quickly bounced up.
As the tray rose, the stones inside flew out, bounced into the air, drew parabolas, and flew down towards Peicheng.
Rumbles of stones hit the city wall and the city head, making loud noises.
Looking at Peicheng again at this time, smoke was everywhere on the city wall and the city head, and stone debris was flying everywhere.
This was just the first round of blows.
Under the general's signal, Sergeant Zhenxi turned the winch again, lifted the heavy side, pulled down the side of the pallet, and continued to load the stones.
Under the continuous blows of the trebuchets, the walls of Peicheng were scarred, and the rebels screamed and wailed one after another.
An Yifu felt that it was almost done, and said to the second batch of messengers around him: "Pass the order, the first, second, and third corps will attack, and the fourth and fifth corps will follow up and provide support."
All the messengers and soldiers agreed in unison and urged their horses to rush out.
This time, all the war drums in the Zhenxi Army camp began to beat.
The soldiers took off their military uniforms and were shirtless.
They picked up the drumsticks with both hands and beat the drum heads desperately.
The sound of the drums was deafening.
At the same time, the five regiments of the Zhenxi Army began to advance forward together.
As the people walked forward, they hit their shields with their spears and shouted in unison: "Wind, wind, wind!"
The shouts of tens of thousands of people soared into the sky, which not only boosted one's own morale, but also deterred the enemy.
The trebuchet strikes continued, covering the advance of our own infantry.
Liao Zheng, commander of the First Corps, took the lead and rushed to the front of his own camp.
To the left and right of the First Corps are the Second Corps headed by Cao Lei and the Third Corps headed by Yuan Mu.
When Liao Zheng led his army to advance, he could faintly hear Cao Lei's high-pitched shouts: "Brothers of the Second Corps, you have heard clearly.
In this battle, our Second Corps will be the first to attack the city." , beheaded the enemy general and let the other regiments see clearly who is the strongest regiment of the Zhenxi Army."
"Roar" Encouraged by Cao Lei, the Second Corps attacked the city in Chapter 246 There were also people shouting in unison over there.
Liao Zheng glanced to the left, turned back and shouted: "We are the first corps of the Zhenxi Army.
Since we are ranked first, we must strive to be the first in everything.
We must not fall behind others and be worthy of us."
The number above my head is in my first corps.
There are no people who are greedy for life and fear of death.
There are only warriors who are brave enough to kill the enemy and go forward bravely.
Those who are afraid of rewards will not go forward.
Kill all those who are timid and timid.
Get out of the first corps as soon as possible."
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The soldiers of the First Corps also roared.
Liao Zheng's First Corps and Cao Lei's Second Corps competed with each other during the advance.
The shouts in the camp became louder and louder.
Of course, the Third Corps on the other side did not dare to show weakness, and the soldiers also fought at their necks.
Yelled.
As the three corps approached Peicheng a hundred paces, arrows were shot sparsely from the top of Peicheng.
There were more than 5,000 defenders in Peicheng, but under the attack of the trebuchets, it was difficult for anyone to stand on the top of the city.
Many rebel soldiers had already ran down the top of the city to avoid the stones.
Those who remained on the top of the city were There were not many rebels.

Under this kind of arrow formation, there was little threat to the soldiers of Zhenxi Army.
People raised their shields high to form a shield array to resist the arrows flying down from the city.
When the siege army came thirty steps closer to Peicheng, the trebuchets at the rear stopped attacking.
After all, the trebuchet is a primitive weapon, and its accuracy is very limited.
Our own army is already so close to the enemy city.
If the trebuchet is used again, the stones thrown out will hit the enemy or one of our own people.
As the trebuchets at the rear stopped attacking, the soldiers attacking the city shouted one after another and changed from advancing on foot to sprinting forward.
Looking around, the three main attacking corps surged into Peicheng like a tide.
Generally speaking, the distance of thirty steps was also the most dangerous distance.
The siege soldiers had to withstand the enemy's full arrow fire. really.
After the trebuchet stopped, the rebels who had originally hidden under the city wall rushed back to the top of the city and launched concentrated arrow fire at the Jeongseo Army outside the city.
But it was too difficult for an arrow array of five thousand people to block the fierce attack of tens of thousands of people.
Soon, a large number of Zhenxi soldiers rushed to the bottom of the city wall.
The archers lined up and fired back at the enemies on the top of the city.
The charging soldiers set up ladders one after another and began to climb crazily.
Arrows were flying up and down the city, and screams were heard in unison.
From time to time, some of the soldiers of Zhenxi who were climbing the ladder were hit by arrows and fell from the air.
The rebels on the top of the city were also occasionally pierced by arrows shot from below, piercing their throats and heads, and their bodies fell to the top of the city.
Liao Zheng held a knife in one hand and a ladder in the other, climbing up.
Arrows shot at him from time to time, and the arrows struck the spiritual armor with a clanking sound.
He ignored it and kept climbing up.
Seeing that the rebels on the top of the city couldn't stop him with their arrows, two soldiers came over carrying a large bucket of kerosene.
They got right above him and were about to topple it down.
Hearing two whooshing sounds, two spiritual arrows flew up from the city, accurately nailing the throats of the two rebels.
The spirit arrow was so powerful that it shot through their necks.
The two rebels screamed and fell to the ground, and the kerosene they carried spilled all over the city.
At this time, another rocket flew up from the city.
It happened to land on the kerosene on the ground.
There was a roar and the kerosene burned.
Several nearby rebels were affected by the kerosene and screamed in all directions. spread.
Liao Zheng, who was standing on the ladder, could see clearly.
He first breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and looked down the city.
He saw two dark spiritual cultivators wearing black spiritual armor standing under the city and waved to him.
The spiritual bow.
It was Yingqi's brother who had Yingqi personnel raiding the city.
Liao Zheng was bolder and more confident.
He took a deep breath and took advantage of the gap when the enemy troops dispersed above him.
Using his hands and feet, he rushed up the ladder to the top of the city.
The moment he climbed to the top of the city, he also swung out the spiritual sword in his hand, and used the metal spiritual martial arts skill Ling Chi.
Dozens of rebels who were charging at the side were affected by the spiritual sword.
People screamed and screamed.
After tipping over.
Liao Zheng held a knife and killed the rebels on the other side.
He rushed into the enemy army.
He waved the spiritual knife away and flew up and down.

He cut down a large number of the rebels on the top of the city.
The rebel defense line on this side was thrown into chaos by him.
The soldiers of Zhenxi under the city took this opportunity to attack with all their strength.
The soldiers rushed to the top of the city one after another and fought with the rebels. 9i Chapter 246 Siege:
