Chapter three hundred and eighty sixth offensive

In the next two days, Fang La's army sieges twice, each time lasting for half a day. After the siege equipment was exhausted, it stopped to avoid forced siege causing huge casualties.

On the evening of August 17, the 10,000 new forces led by Fang La arrived outside Muzhou City. The reason was that it was 10,000 rather than 8,000 was that on the way here, countless people were brought into it. The same was true for the bandit camp outside the city. The scale of the army grew much faster than the consumption. Now there are 25,000 people, and it is still increasing. When all forces responding to Fang La's call arrive, they can reach 100,000 in just a month.

Fang La knew that Cao Hua was guarding the city and caused Fang Fei to lose a lot of people, but did not retaliate immediately, but listened to Fang Qifo's opinions.

As the commander of the commander who coordinated the troops, Fang Qifo wrote a handwritten letter, sent it to the city wall and handed it to Cao Hua.

The content on the letter is very simple:

Governor Cao, Zhao Song has been exhausted. Now our army is in the city. I advise you to abandon the city and submit. The grievances in the past can be eliminated. I guarantee you to be the general and rule the four marshals. I will be granted the title of king of different surnames and be in charge of the world with the public...

The temporary military office became a temporary military office in the city tower, and officials of Muzhou and military staff gathered together to discuss the letter.

Ye Juzhong was hesitant and wanted to speak several times, but he didn't say anything.

After a few days of offense and defense, the defenders' momentum had not yet collapsed, but there were only more than 1,500 people left. The Fang La army fought more and more, and the gap between them increased from 1 to 1 to nearly 20 to 1. Those who were normal in their minds knew that they could not defend them.

Now Muzhou City has been surrounded and cut off contact with the outside world. Even communication can only be transmitted by carrier pigeons, and no one can enter or exit. When the city breaks, most of the people present are killed and there is a way to go in front of them. Ye Juzhong, as the main official, dare not say that he agrees or refuses.

Seeing that many civil servants were silent, Tong Shu stepped forward and clasped her fists: "Governor Cao, Tong is willing to live and die with Muzhou. Fang La's first-class bandits are not worthy of surrendering us."

Cao Hua sat on the chair of the Grand Master, rubbed his fingers, observed everyone's faces, nodded slightly, picked up the envelope and tore it into pieces:

"Even if the city is broken, I will take you to break through."

Many officials looked at each other for a few moments, and after they got the truth, they no longer hesitated. They bowed and fisted out of the room, and continued to mobilize the defenders everywhere.

Xie Yijun stood beside him with his arms in his arms, and after the officials left, he said softly:

"Cao Hua, I have dealt with Fang Qifo. I am not a false surrender. I really want to invite you. Fang La has gained the hearts of the people too quickly and may not be able to compete for the world. Why don't you agree?"

"I have voted for Fang La, will I become the emperor in the future or will he become the emperor?"

Xie Yijun was stunned, thought for a while, and realized something: "Yes, although Fang La is a hero, he is not worthy of being pressed on you. Besides, your ladies are all in the capital, how could they surrender?"

"You still understand me..."

"……snort--"

------

On August 18th, Fang La made a statement that he had captured Muzhou in three days, which had been more than one day.

This day of resistance has passed, and the time for reinforcements to arrive is close to the time. If the horse is fast, reinforcements may appear outside the Fang La army at any time.

The situation was as powerful as water and fire for Cao Hua, and Fang Hua was also imminent. All plans for the uprising were based on the premise of conquering Muzhou as a base. If you could not defeat Muzhou, you could only change the route to fight Shezhou, which was even more difficult to catch. Without replenishing enough food and supplies in Muzhou City, the road ahead would be difficult. Many of Fang Hua's men had no confidence in beating Shezhou.

Under this premise, Fang La's army's offensive on the 18th was particularly fierce, almost to the point of madness.

The four gates in the east, west, south and north attacked together, without any feint attacks, and had shifts to repair them. The four routes attacked in a real way. With the advantage of crushing troops, they went out to launch a general attack on Muzhou City.

More than 1,500 people were assigned to four walls, and there were only more than 300 people left on each wall. The ones to guard were six or seven thousand Fang La troops, and one person had to guard twenty.

A tide of war rushes overwhelmingly, and the soldiers on the city were almost desperate, as if they saw a tsunami that was overwhelming the city, and they had nowhere to hide.

Before he could catch the enemy, Fang La was sure to win. If he could not conquer a city with twenty times his troops, he would not have to think about fighting Hangzhou. He would go home and farm honestly, how could mortals fight against gods?

Fang Qifo, Deng Yuanjue and others also gathered together to discuss the problem of how to deal with it after capturing Cao Hua. After all, Cao Hua has been famous all over the world for a long time, and it is a pleasure to kill him with one knife, but if Cao Hua can be summoned to the rebel army, it will be of great significance to the rebel army. Even the emperor's confidants and the most capable person in the Song Dynasty voted for Fang La. What else can the rebel army be afraid of? Cao Hua not only had a headache for the people in the martial arts world, but also the soldiers and generals of the court. No general is willing to fight with Cao Hua on the battlefield, but he can't beat him. He is so unreasonable.

To this end, Fang Qifo also specially arranged a team of experts from Fang La to intercept when the city breaks through Cao Hua.

Under such circumstances, the total initiated by the Fang La army pressed towards Muzhou City with a rush of overwhelming momentum.

But what everyone did not expect was that Muzhou City was still unbreakable. It held on for a night and still blocked the rebels like the tide under the city wall.

The story starts from the day when the first siege occurred three days ago.

Cao Hua made a harsh statement about "killing one person and rewarding 100 taels of silver". Not only did the defenders of Muzhou be surprised, but many people in the city also looked at each other.

There are tens of thousands of people in a city in Muzhou, most of whom are surrounding villagers who escape from war and hide in. The composition is similar to that of Fang La's army, but there are some elderly, weak, women and children.

Even if Fang La really attacked, he would not do the massacre of the city. At most, he would arrest them into the rebel army to rebel. Therefore, the people in the city had no intention of fighting. If the court asked them to defend the city and die, it would be better to let Fang La come in directly.

But after the news that the city guards killed one person and rewarded 100 taels of silver, many poor people were moved. One hundred taels were enough to buy a few good land for their lives. Even if the majority of people were afraid of death, a few people still looked at them.

The court has long been exploited by the government's long-term taxes and exploitation, and the people have long disbelief of the government's words. They thought it was a trick of the court to fool people to defend the city, but most people did not believe it. Moreover, Fang La would definitely flee as soon as the city attacked the city and could not defend it.

Unexpectedly, the first siege officers and soldiers actually defended the city without fear of death. And that day, everyone who killed the enemy received the most money, and the most of them received thousands of taels, which was tantamount to the poor and cold people.

Early the morning of the second day after the city guarding, many men ran to the recruiting place to inquire and took their armor one after another.
