Chapter 248 Zhu Zhike in Qiantang County

As Zhu Wei led his troops to Qiantang County, Zhu Wei did not send troops to attack the city immediately on the first day, but set up a water and land camp outside Qiantang County.

Naturally, the impact of the landform environment had been calculated in advance to set up the camp, and it was an area that would not be attacked by Zhu Zhi with the help of water power. Wang Yuyan had chosen all of this for Zhu Wei, and Zhu Wei had completely delegated power.

And Zhu Zhi also found out about Zhu Wei's movements, he had already closed the water and land gates of Qiantang County, and then divided his soldiers into several groups, prepared various defensive equipment, and waited to resist Zhu Wei's siege .

As a result, the first day passed quickly, Zhu Wei did not send anyone to attack the city, and Zhu Zhi also did not intend to go out of the city to attack Zhu Wei's camp.

It’s just that Zhu Zhi discovered that Zhu Wei seemed to have sent someone to sail a boat around the water gate in Qiantang County that night. If Zhu Wei launched an attack on the water gate, he would be immediately warned.

So that night at the water gate, there was an alarm bell. Zhu Zhi thought that Zhu Wei was going to sneak attack at night, so he also lit a fire on the wall of the water gate, and took precautions.

But in the end Zhu Zhi found that he seemed to be a false alarm.

It wasn't until the morning of the next day, that is, around nine o'clock, that Zhu Wei officially set up his battle formation and arrived at Lumen in Qiantang County. He assumed a siege posture and asked Zhu Zhi to come out for a chat in accordance with the usual practice of fighting. .

At the same time, Zhu Wei seemed to have dispatched all his ships on the water gate side of Qiantang County, slowly approaching the water gate, seemingly to force Zhu Zhi to divide his troops into two places and reduce the pressure of Zhu Wei's main attack on Lumen.

Zhu Zhi heard the news in Qiantang County, but he came to the gate tower of Lumen City in Qiantang County. Looking at the Zhu Wei army outside the city, he saw flags fluttering and figures spread out like a piece of land. There was a sea of ​​people, and for a while, I couldn't see how many people came.

Judging from the situation on the scene, the formation of Zhu Wei's army can only be said to be ordinary, it is an ordinary Yanling formation, and the middle position looks like an elite soldier, and it looks full of momentum.

Many people on the left and right flanks obviously had no training, and even the queues stood in a mess. Many people stood two miles away from the city wall, and they didn't know what to do at all.

Looking from Zhu Zhi's position, it seems that Zhu Weijun did not bring any siege equipment, not even the siege ladders, only some siege carts like horse-drawn carts and spear-piercing chariots. Walls line the central front.

This made Zhu Zhi look a little confused. In this state, Zhu Wei didn't look like he was preparing to attack the city directly. Could it be that he was just preparing to have a chat this time.

Zhu Zhi knew what he was capable of. Anyway, Zhu Wei asked him to go out of the city to fight, and he would never agree. Now he is just quietly preparing to watch Zhu Wei pretend to be aggressive.

As for Zhu Wei's position as the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, beside Zhu Wei, he only followed Wang Yuyan, Mu Lan, and Dong Xi. Watergate went.

Around the city of Qiantang County, the moat was five or six paces wide. Now the suspension bridge at the city gate was hanging high, and from Zhu Wei's side, only Zhu Zhi's soldiers and various flags standing on the city wall could be seen.

This time before Zhu Wei came to Lumen in Qiantang County, it was not for the purpose of attacking the city, but to attract Zhu Zhi's attention. One thousand civilian husbands pretended to be soldiers, plus three thousand Kuaiji soldiers and horses.

The other two thousand main Shanyue troops and four thousand Kuaiji troops were waiting to blow up the water gate of Qiantang County and rush directly into the interior of Qiantang County.

Now if Zhu Zhi really leads troops to fight out, Zhu Wei's side may really be defeated by Zhu Zhi with three or 4000 people. Zhu Wei is really putting on airs here.

Zhu Wei prepared many banners to conceal the status of his troops and prevent Zhu Zhi from seeing through the reality of his soldiers.

Of course, Wang Yuyan also expected that Zhu Zhi would not dare to go out of the city to fight, but he still prepared the front defense equipment such as the burr car wall, just in case Zhu Zhizhen opened the city gate to fight, and could be arranged as a wall to block it. Use bows and arrows to kill some of Zhu Zhi's soldiers and horses, and then protect Zhu Wei and retreat to the camp.

However, that's just in case.

Now that Zhu Wei is in his army formation, Yaoyao also saw a general on the city gate looking out, and knew that it was Zhu Zhi who came, so Zhu Wei found a dozen soldiers with loud voices, and followed Mu Lan Going to provoke before the battle, delaying time, and holding Zhu Zhi's attention.

Mu Lan took the order to drive the horse, and led a dozen soldiers holding the "Mu" general flag, and then slowly arrived at a stone's throw away from Qiantang County, raised his head and shouted to the gate tower of Qiantang County, "Zhu Zhi in Qiantang County Come out and answer! I am Qian Tanghou's subordinate Fengxiang Captain Mu Lan, and I am here to inquire about the crime by the order of my lord!"

When Mulan shouted something, the dozen or so soldiers she brought with them repeated it at the same time, like a loudspeaker, allowing Zhu Zhi on the city wall to hear Mulan's words clearly.

Although Zhu Wei does not have the title of Marquis of Qiantang officially appointed by the Han Dynasty, Zhu Wei has already done things in this name on his own. After all, his current official position really cannot have any oppressive effect on Zhu Zhi.

But it would be much nicer to report the name of Marquis Qian Tang.

It's just that Zhu Wei has become Marquis Qian Tang, so Mulan can naturally claim the title of Lieutenant Fengxiang casually, which made Zhu Zhi secretly laugh when he heard it on the gate tower.

"Boy from the city, go back and tell your childish lord that a certain family is the captain of Wu County sent by the imperial court. He is an official ordered by the court. Today, you violated a certain family's Qiantang County for no reason. Aren't you going to rebel? Everyone only knows that Marquis Qian Tang and Zhu Jun have died in Xijing, but they have never heard that there is anything else Marquis Qian Tang!"

Zhu Zhi also yelled loudly on the top of the city gate, and then the guards around him also yelled down in unison, spreading Zhu Zhi's words.

Apparently Zhu Zhi had seen through Zhu Wei's methods, and didn't care about Zhu Wei's false name of Marquis Qian Tang at all. At the same time, he was indeed the official captain of Wu Jun, and he was really not afraid of Zhu Wei's suppression of him like this.

Even if Zhu Wei is Qian Tanghou, it is only a vain job, and he can give orders to a captain of Wu County like him.

"Zhu Zhi, my lord is here to arrest you, a traitor who secretly communicated with Yuan Shu and intends to rebel against you, under the orders of Yangzhou Shepherd Liu Yao. If you are wise, you can arrest him quickly, and my lord may still be taken in by you. Plead with Master Muzhou, if not, if you break Qiantang, you will be a traitor, and you will be the first to show the public! The soldiers and civilians of Qiantang County have heard this, and now the Marquis of Qian Tang Zhu Wei is ordered by Yangzhou Mu's army to conquer the traitor Zhu Zhi of Qiantang. If you are willing to capture Thieves who sacrifice the city will get a reward of one hundred thousand!"

Mu Lan said according to what Wang Yuyan taught her before, since Zhu Zhi does not recognize Zhu Wei's identity as Marquis Qian Tang, he should directly move out the identity of Yangzhou Shepherd Liu Yao, Liu Yao has enough rights to deal with Zhu Zhi...
