Chapter 2150 Destroy Meng Jiigong (Part 2)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The main force of Zou Shan Wei Shu Road surrounded Zhouqiao City and prepared to break the city.

    But it is worthy of the city defense that Meng Jiigong has confidence in. This strong city is really difficult to fight.

    Zhouqiao City is not big, with a radius of twelve miles and an area of ??more than 200 acres. It has a population of nearly 50,000 people, all of whom are Meng Jiong's Zhouqiao folks.

    As the saying goes: "If wealth does not return to its hometown, it will travel at night like fine clothes." Meng Jiigong was good at turning his hometown into an important piece of land.

    The moat outside Zhouqiao City is three feet wide and two feet deep. On top of the high wall, there are countless strong bows and crossbows.  Such a fortress city is difficult to approach, let alone attack.

    "I'm afraid that the thief Meng Jiigong has spent all the wealth he has robbed over the years on building this city."

    Huang Qing has fought countless tough battles, and seeing this city gave him a headache.

    In the Cold Weapon Age, or even in the early Hot Weapon Age, it was not easy to attack a fortified city.  Many times, it¡¯s just a matter of taking human lives.

    And if we want to break this city, we still don¡¯t know how many casualties there will be.

    Of course, Huang Qing could let Xu Yuanlang and Meng Haigong's troops attack the city and consume this group of soldiers. The other party would still be unable to say anything, but he didn't want to do that.

    It only takes less than a moment for an adult man to die, but it takes eighteen years to raise a man.

    The world is gradually becoming more peaceful, and human lives cannot be wasted in vain.

    So Huang Qing ordered people to build heavy weapons such as catapults and thunder cannons, while looking for flaws in Zhouqiao City.

    At this time, Li Fengyang suggested that if you want to defeat the enemy without fighting, you must make the defenders among the ministers fearful.  Only when the defenders in the city fall into despair will they choose to surrender.

    At the same time, we should try our best to cause chaos in the city and break up the trust between Meng Jiigong and the generals.

    Many of the troops surrendered by Jiang Shanhe were related to the soldiers in the city.  Huang Qing ordered everyone to write letters to their old friends in the city and send them into the city through thunder cannons.

    At the same time, it was mixed with rewards for the generals in the city, as well as promises to dedicate the city and kill Meng Jiigong.

    With the sound of thunder and artillery, the entire city of Zhouqiao was filled with letters and leaflets written by the Sui army to him.

    Soon, everyone in Zhouqiao City got news from outside the city, including solicitations, promises, threats, whatever it took to mess up people's hearts.

    Meng Jiigong was also shocked. He was originally sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, but the Sui army's move immediately confused him.

    He didn¡¯t know how many people had received the letters and leaflets distributed by the Sui Army, and he didn¡¯t know how many people would be moved by the conditions offered by the Sui Army.

    He didn¡¯t even know how many people around him would show his fangs.

    So Meng Jiong ordered everyone to turn in the letters and leaflets distributed by the Sui army, and anyone who hid them secretly would be put to death.

    Some people choose to turn it over, and of course some people choose to hide it.  But Meng Jiong quickly did a beautiful thing. He actually transferred the generals who turned in the letters and relieved them of their military power.

    In Meng Jiigong¡¯s view, although these people handed over the letters, they were indeed related to the Sui army. If they are loyal today, will they definitely be loyal tomorrow?

    Such a coquettish operation shocked all the generals.  In order to avoid the bad luck of being lifted from military power, no one dared to hand over these letters.

    But the Sui army kept throwing, but no one on Meng Jiigong's side turned it over.  This made him more and more suspicious that these people wanted to collude with the Sui army.  Even under his suspicion, he felt that no one could be trusted.

    So Meng Jiong ordered people to search leaflets and letters one by one in the military camp. Anyone found in the search would be executed.

    Most of the secret agents arranged by Meng Jiigong were his relatives. Countless people relied on their power to avenge private enemies and take advantage of others.  As a result, the three armies were in chaos, morale was low, and military morale was turbulent.

    Later, this kind of search even extended from the army to the civilian population.

    Soldiers were everywhere going from house to house searching for leaflets.

    24378  It's a mess.

    ??And Huang Qing outside the city made another move, ordering people to carry earth, and built a circle of earth walls outside Zhouqiao City, completely enclosing Zhouqiao City.  Then various catapults, thunderbolt chariots, bed crossbows, and thunder cannons followed, bombarding Zhouqiao City day and night.

    This time 75*z wz .*com Zhang Si.  Although the earthen wall was not high, about five feet, it put tremendous pressure on the defenders.  Although a large army besieged the city, the defenders may not feel the power of the trap, but a circle of earth walls immediately made the defenders feel that they were in an isolated city and could not get out.

    And there are all kinds of boulders and short spears on the top of the head,The soldiers could not even sleep well.

    Of course Huang Qing was not worried that the defenders in the city would stand out. He was also worried that Meng Jiigong would not dare to fight out.

    After almost a few days of this, panic began to appear in the city.

    Meng Jiong made a mistake.

    There is no shortage of food, water, or even labor in the city.  But there is one thing missing in the city, and that is firewood.

    This era is not the era of electrification or gasification. You can use it by turning on the gas or electricity. Any activity related to fire requires firewood.

    "But Zhouqiao City is not big and it is a new city. There is not much firewood for consumption in the city.

    Normally, the surrounding people supply more than 100,000 kilograms of firewood to the city every day, but now because the city is closed, everything is cut off.

    How to cook and make a fire without firewood.

    In order to alleviate the demand for firewood, Meng Jiong had to order the dismantling of houses to use them as firewood.  Even some wealthy households had to use cloth for firewood.

    With the firewood crisis in the city, the atmosphere in the entire city has become increasingly tense.

    At this time, Huang Qing ordered people to distribute leaflets to the city, warning everyone in the city that if they continue to defend and resist, once the city is broken, no chickens or dogs will be left.  At the same time, Huang Qing had people throw black gunpowder into the city to threaten him again.

    Sure enough, countless black powder exploded at the top of Zhouqiao City. Although the power was average, the sound of "thunderbolt" was like an earth-shattering sound, which really shocked the defenders.

    Many Zhouqiao defenders thought it was God who was angry and sent down thunder, so they knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy.

    The defenders in the city really couldn't hold on any longer.

    That night, Meng Jiong's generals Meng Xiong, Guo Jinyue, Cao Su and others launched a mutiny, captured Meng Jiong alive, opened the city gate, and surrendered to the Sui army. At this point, Pingtou brother of the Sui Dynasty, who ruled Jiyin and ruled for a while, Meng Jiong, the king of Song Yi  The regime was officially overthrown.

    Later, Meng Jiong was sent to Xindu to be executed, but that¡¯s a story later.

    Meng Jiong was captured, and his only power was his son Mengyi in Waihuang.

    Mengyi heard that Zhouqiao was in danger, so he gave up Waihuang and went to Zhouqiao for support. However, he was ambushed by Li Fengyang's troops on the way. Mengyi was captured alive, and finally followed his father Meng Jiigong to Xindu and was stabbed.

    After the war, the Sui army had another big gain.  The chief craftsman responsible for building Zhouqiao City was named Li Chun. He was from Hebei and the apprentice of Liu Long, the master of Northern Qi architecture.  Li Chun once went to Fengzhou to learn the art of city building, and then he learned to build a six-sided castle.  Later, he also presided over the construction of Zhaojun Bridge.

    After the chaos in the world, Li Chun lived in Jiyin and helped Meng Jiigong build Zhouqiao City.
