1177 Unable to defend in the end, about to be killed under the capital city

An Renyi and Chai use these two generals who would serve the Wu Kingdom according to their original trajectory. Now they are the governors of the Wei Dynasty who each controls a vassal state; and Wang Jingren and Mi Zhicheng were both long-standing generals of the Wu Kingdom before they had to defect and defect to Wei, so they had many confrontations with the Wu Yue Kingdom, which had always had territorial disputes.

Liu Ci and Gu Quanwu, Fu Yanqing and Du Jianhui were in a stalemate in Wucheng and Jinchang. Wu Yue Kingdom was far less than the Wei Dynasty's soldiers and generals. It was difficult to protect all the key passes.

For example, Gu Quanwu and Du Jianhui, the two founding fathers of Wu Yue, were already the few generals who were in charge of the Wei Dynasty. However, in the Wei Dynasty, An Renyi, Chai Zaiyeng, Wang Jingren and Mi Zhicheng were all figures who were all famous in the history books of the Five Dynasties... and they took advantage of this ready-made advantage, and they had advanced to the boundary of Fuchun County (Fuyang District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, which is only a hundred miles away from the capital of Wu Yue, Qiantang, Hangzhou, and the capital of Wu Yue.

The Wei Dynasty placed Runzhou, Changzhou, Suzhou... and other prefectures in the Gusu area did not fight. Li Tianqu issued an edict to point directly to Hangzhou in the three armies, in order to avoid the war spreading to other areas as much as possible, and directly threaten the capital of Wu and Yue, so as to quickly force the other party to surrender.

The generals of the Wu Yue army who fled from all over the country not only immediately rushed to Qiantang, but also reported that the Wei Dynasty army would be killed in the capital soon... The news that the enemy had invaded Hangzhou also spread to Wucheng, Huzhou, guarded by Gu Quanwu, and Jinchang, Hangzhou, where Du Jianhui was stationed, also made the situation of defending the two cities to the death worse.

Liu Ci and Fu Yanqing commanded the troops from all over the country, and did not intend to surround the city walls. They also intended to let the defenders learn about the outside world, which would further blow the morale of the army.

Du Jianhui is also very similar to Gu Quanwu's situation. In the past few days, he was in a state of conspiracy and presided over the recruitment of civilians and bravery, dispatched and deployed defenders, treated wounded soldiers, mobilized food and fodder, prepared medicinal materials, and even demolished residential buildings for rolling wood and rocks, inspecting city guard equipment and other matters.

The scene was also tragic when siege, but ladders were erected on the city wall, people gathered like ants, and waves intertwined, and swords were everywhere above the city. When the city guards were used, the rolling wood and stones would smash the city's troops into blood. Some soldiers were also on fire, or were clustered with arrows, and the swords and guns were pierced through and fell down from a high place...

However, the defenders also paid the price of casualties. Even though Du Jianhui repelled the Wei army's two rounds of fierce attacks, he could not stop the opponent from setting up a large number of siege equipment on the city defense. Seeing that the heavy stone-throwing guns that were like towering towers were gradually built, one end of the gun tip was tied to the installation of stone bullets, the leather case of the fire bullets, and the other end was aimed at the city walls, and there were also a large group of Wei soldiers shuttled back and forth below... The Wu Yue army guards who were watching on the top of the city were getting heavier and heavier, like heavy rocks, pressing on everyone's hearts.

Until the installation and construction of rows of trenchers was completed, the next morning, it began to shoot countless stone bullets at the city wall... Sergeants like workers' ants kept walking and resisting the heavy rock bullets into their pockets. A few soldiers immediately shouted the horn and pulled the thick rope hard, and suddenly let go. The stone bullets were shot out, making an extremely heavy sound of breaking the wind in the air, and then smashed them fiercely towards the target.

The stone bullet hit the wall, and the dust immediately flew and gravel splashed. From time to time, some soldiers were smashed out of recognition, broken bones, and some people were thrown out with their bodies wailing... Suddenly, a large pot filled with boiling oil was carried up by the stone bullets falling in the air, and the boiling oil spilled. When they saw the hissing sound on the skin of the soldiers nearby who were dodging, the flesh immediately burst out, and there were waves of screams like a pig killing blow!

The city wall, which had been attacked by several rounds of stone bombs, was blasted out one by one, and then a fierce ignited oil bomb ignited the raging flames... The cracks of the originally solid and thick city walls became increasingly obvious, and the rolling smoke rose. The soldiers in the city who were on standby at any time and wanted to repair the collapsed walls of the city as soon as possible were difficult for the civilians to get close to it. When they saw countless bricks and stones scattered in the air, they had to scream and escape...

Dozens of heavy catapults slowly shot out stone bombs and fire bombs, and bombarded them step by step to destroy the city defense. Even if the entire city wall had not yet completely collapsed, the attack on the defenders during the period was naturally self-evident.

After another round of offensives, although Jinchang City had not yet been captured by the Wei army, the soldiers who carried the remains of scorched corpses and the soldiers who were slumped in the corner of the wall showed panic from time to time... Many people, including the conscripted civilians in the city, realized that if this continues, it is probably that when the Wei army launches the next round of fierce attack, the gateway area in the west corner of Hangzhou will change hands and be occupied by the enemy.

In the Jinchang County government hall, several Wu Yue generals and generals gathered together, one of them was like an ant on a hot pan. He looked at Du Jianhui who was sitting in the head and said:

"Prime Minister! We do our best to encourage our brothers to fight to the death of the city, and the men of the tribes took their lives... But the guns and firearms of the Wei people were indeed powerful, and our army was unable to reach the range. We sent dead soldiers to attack the camp at night, but the son Fu Yanqing, the chief general who led the enemy, was also prepared for it.

The Erlang sent to the surprise attacks did not return, but could not stop the Wei people from launching fireworks to bombard the city gate... Jinchang City is not a big city with high and deep moats and complete fortifications. We have strengthened the city defense as much as possible, but if this continues, it is inevitable that the city wall will collapse. Even if we engage in street battles with the enemy, the Wei army is indeed crowded and powerful, and even if our army leaves our lives in Jinchang City, it is still difficult to stop the enemy from invading Qiantang.

This...what should I do!?"

Before the Wu Yue Army General finished speaking, the robes around him echoed. After all, at this dangerous moment of burning eyebrows, they could only rely on their backbone to decide. However, Du Jianhui frowned and just sat in the head without saying a word...

It is hard to cook without rice. The military strength of the Wei Dynasty and Wu Yue was originally incomparable. In the situation of being very passive, he had to lead the army to the gateway of the key pass. Even when Du Jianhui was young, he was brave and famous. He was known for his bravery. When he was in a battle formation, he would raid in a single clothes. He was called Hu Zi in the army... However, in terms of national strength and strategic environment, Wu Yue was at an absolute disadvantage. Even if Du Jianhui was a general and prime minister, the founder of Wu Yue, who was a civil and military, could not get along with any tricks and immediately reverse the dangerous situation of Wu Yue.

Moreover, Gu Quanwu faced Liu Ci, the rising star brought out by Yang Shihou, the top five general in the Five Dynasties, and Du Jianhui was not having a good time... His opponent was Fu Yanqing, who also represented the highest level of the Five Dynasties, and his ability to manage and use troops among the descendants was Fu Yanqing, who was the closest to his father.

What's more, Du Jianhui knew that he and Gu Quanwu could hold on for a while, but the Wei Dynasty's troops were divided into three groups. Even if they temporarily blocked two of the enemy troops, An Renyi, Chai Zaiyong, Wang Jingren, and Mi Zhicheng. The generals of the Wei Dynasty had already entered the hinterland of Hangzhou and were soon killed at the capital of Qiantang... In this case, should we continue to defend our lives and continue to be beaten passively and bear the risk of being defeated by the enemy? Or should we preserve our strength as much as possible, and lead our troops to shrink their defense lines and fight to protect Qiantang, Hangzhou?

After thinking about it, Du Jianhui suddenly spoke, but the tone was still filled with an unwilling anger:

"Since the Wei people concentrated their troops and siege equipment to attack the western city gate... and sent orders, the troops gathered quickly and prepared to fight out of the east gate and return to Qiantang, the capital of the country as soon as possible. The commander of Gu Du must be very clear. I and he rushed to Wucheng and Jinchang to defend the gateway and resist foreign enemies, in order to protect the capital. However, the Wei army had already killed near Fuchun County, so they had to retreat as soon as possible to defend and defend... The capital of the country must not be missed!"
