Chapter 524: Siege Equipment
Rong Bai felt that he had hit a big luck. And this luck is still brought by Hengqing. Otherwise, why, after Hengqing went to Zuo Xiang's house once, Mrs. Zuo Xiang didn't always post to herself.
No, to be precise, the lady who posted to herself in the capital doesn't post to herself again.
If the noble lady next to her was kicked out of the social circle of the capital, she would definitely be in a panic, but Rong Bai was different, Rong Bai felt relieved. If she had known that she would be able to get rid of Hengqing so quickly, she wouldn't be entangled.
Rong Bai's matter has been resolved.
However, the matter of Dayong has not been resolved. After the New Year, Dayong had to face the results of the rebellion of King Yan. King Yan pulled the defenders stationed in Lingzhou to the capital, and after a defeat, the worst thing was the people of Lingzhou.
As soon as the garrison left, Lingzhou was captured by the Qi State. Before the people of Lingzhou could react, the city gate was opened, and the army of the Qi State entered Lingzhou City.
The petition for war in the northwest was sent to the capital at the end of the first month. In the first month, when the people's family was reunited, Wei Xuan wrote a letter asking for war, directly stating that the people of Lingzhou were suffering from the war and could not reunite as a family. provoked the anger of the entire court.
As a result, it was natural to allow to fight.
It was cold in spring, and before Rong Bai took off his winter clothes, Wei Xuan received an order to go to the battlefield. King Yan lost power, the entire northwest, Wei Xuan's family was dominant, he wanted to take back Lingzhou, so naturally the entire northwest army was at his disposal.
The Lingzhou capital has long been empty.
Although Gongzishi returned to Qi, he failed to control the army on the border. Like Dayong, several princes of Qi State also did not deal with it. Even, it is more cruel than the battle between the princes of Dayong. At least, before the exposure of the prince's life, Dayong said that only the three princes fought with each other, and the remaining few people were all in the stage of eating and waiting for death.
However, Qi is different, the prince of Qi is the only one who can survive until now. Moreover, all three, are the elite of the elite. Gongzishi, if you don't consider his identity as a spy of the enemy country, just looking at his ability and deeds, he is also a top talent. But this kind of person, in the battle of the prince of Qi State, is still at a disadvantage.
escaped from Dayong's son, and when he opened the gate of Lingzhou, he fell into the hands of his eldest brother. After that, all his ideas became empty talk.
Most of the Qi people are herdsmen and do not have enough sources of livelihood, so the first thing they do when they enter Dayong is to grab food. Lingzhou has reached its limit under the raid of King Yan, and in such a raid, the people have no ability to survive at all.
When there was no food, the cavalry of the Qi State began to burn and kill. For a time, the people of Lingzhou were full of mourning.
When Wei Xuan led the army and surrounded Lingzhou, he saw such a scene. The people of Lingzhou fled in the direction of Quzhou, the weather was very cold in early spring, and those people were dressed in rags, and the scene was more unbearable than the last days.
Wei Xuan is not an unbearable person, seeing this scene, what stirred up in his mind was murderous.
"General Wei?" The adjutant general looked at his general sitting on his horse and looked at the homeless people without saying a word, not knowing what he was thinking, and was a little worried.
To be honest, following Wei Xuan is the ultimate goal of many soldiers in the Northwest. After all, a man who is invincible and invincible is simply the military god of the northwest. The most important thing is that the siege of his own generals was fought very beautifully, and the casualties were very few.
There is a saying among the soldiers in the northwest: follow the Eagle Guard, and you will not die in the siege.
From this sentence, it can be seen how famous Wei Xuan is in the Northwest Army.
"See?" Wei Xuan looked at the fleeing homeless people: "If we don't fight well, then one day, our relatives will be like them." ”
The adjutant was stunned.
"In order not to displace them, we have to fight, and we have to win. Wei Xuan raised his whip.
Rong Bai will not be the one who will be displaced, even if he Wei Xuan dies and the entire Dayong is destroyed, Rong Bai will live well. However, Wei Xuan was unwilling, in his life, he wanted Rong Bai to live the life he had dreamed of before.
"The soldiers listened to the order, the siege equipment of the capital is already on the way, we will clean up the surrounding villages and towns, and prepare to attack the city. Wei Xuan shouted, and the whip fell on the horse, and the horse galloped, raising a whole piece of dust.
The war in Lingzhou involved the entire Dayong. It is also because of this war that the world knows that Dayong is rich. Millions of silver taels and tens of millions of stone grains are constantly gathered from all over the northwest in a steady stream.
In this way, the person who was under pressure was replaced by the great prince of the Qi State.
There is often friction on the border between the two countries, but it is still within the tolerable range, and on weekdays, the goal of the soldiers of the two countries is to protect their homes and defend the country, and as long as they think like this, the enthusiasm for mobilization is endless. However, now, Lingzhou has fallen, and the soldiers of Dayong, under the leadership of Wei Xuan, are like fighting chicken blood, but the soldiers of Qi are different.
After capturing Lingzhou, the army of Qi did not get anything valuable, but because of this incident, it provoked Dayong's counterattack. The army in front went deep alone, and the team behind couldn't keep up, so they were dumplings made by Wei Xuan. The losses were devastating.
The stalemate is getting longer and longer, and the people at the border are getting more and more uncomposed. Wei Xuan has been leading people to surround the main city of Lingzhou Prefecture for more than half a month, and the grain and grass from Quzhou have already arrived, but the siege equipment in the capital has not arrived.
Wei Xuan's siege equipment has long been used up. Originally, the fighter plane was fleeting, Wei Xuan and other equipment had been waiting for half a month, and the fighter plane didn't know how long it would be delayed.
In the capital, many people are puzzled.
The siege equipment has been sent out a long time ago, but there has been no good news from the north. Wei Xuan is the youngest and most talented general in the entire Dayong, why there is no news yet.
The people who paid attention to this battle, in addition to the hundred officials in the capital, also had Rong Bai.
Wei Xuan went to the battlefield, Rong Bai was naturally very concerned, not to mention, Wei Xuan used the latest siege equipment designed by the workshop this time. Since the last time, the Liu brothers used gunpowder to solve a big war in minutes, Rong Bai has let go of the state of advanced weapon research and development.
So, Liu Zihan was completely relieved. During this time, the weapons designed by Liu Zihan became more and more large-scale, so many siege equipment were born, and this time it was also the first time that these equipment were used.
However, more than half a month has passed, and there is no news from the people sent out to deliver the equipment, and there is no news about the equipment, which is noticeable. It is impossible for such a large piece of equipment to disappear for no reason, could it be that there is something wrong with the escort?
Rong Bai became more and more irritable, and in the end, he still sent the eagle seven beside him out.
