Chapter 1516: Siege
Yan Huaiyu glanced at Nangong Ao and said lightly: "Taishi doesn't need to be so frightened, I decided to send troops to attack the Shenlai Kingdom, and there is only one purpose, that is, to destroy the Shenlai Kingdom...... And I don't just want to destroy the Kingdom of God, but I also want to destroy the Iron Ice Country in the north, the Xiangxiang Country in the west, and the Shameng Country in the middle, and even some small countries like the Orc Country. ”
Nangong Ao's eyebrows furrowed sharply, and he asked softly: "According to the meaning of His Majesty, you are preparing to unify the cultivation of Zhenda. Landed? ”
"Yes, that's what I meant." Yan Huaiyu said with certainty: "This grand plan was not proposed by me, but proposed by my father, and I just completed it on his behalf." ”
The implication is that even if Yan Huaiyu did not rebel and seize the throne, his father, Emperor Yan Sheng, would have sent troops to attack other countries.
The ministers originally wanted to dissuade Yan Huaiyu from giving up this wishful thinking plan, but they knew that what Yan Huaiyu decided could not be changed, and it seemed that the war between them and the Divine Kingdom was inevitable.
"The old minister understands that he must handle the affairs of the people, horses, grain and grass that His Majesty has explained." Nangong Ao didn't say anything, because he had already guessed that Yan Huaiyu would do this, although it was a little difficult to conquer other great powers, it was not impossible, once he unified Xiuzhen Da. Lu, that's a very majestic feat.
Seeing Nangong Ao supporting himself without hesitation, Yan Huaiyu was very pleased, stood up from the dragon chair, waved his sleeves and said, "Scatter the dynasty!" ”
……
In just a few days, Dudu led an army of 200,000 to the west, thousands of miles away, and after camping in a forest, Dudu sent spies to investigate the situation in the west.
Soon. The spy returned to the forest and reported, "General." After our exploration, three cities in the western region fell into the hands of the Xiangxiang Kingdom. They are Valley City, Tianxingguan and Star City. ”
Dudu's brows furrowed slightly, and he smiled faintly: "It seems that the marshal of this enemy army has some ability, even Gu City and Star City are counted, and even the Tianxing Pass, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, has been captured." ”
"Yes." The spy continued: "Now Tianxing Pass is defended by an army of 20,000 led by Wen Zhiruo, the Taishi of Xiangxiang Kingdom, while Gucheng is garrisoned by 100,000 people of Le Shitong, the former marshal of Xiangxiang Kingdom, and as for Star City, it is garrisoned by Lin Tian's 80,000 troops. ”
"What?" Du Du stood up from his seat in surprise, and asked again with wide eyes, "Are you talking about Lin Tian?" ”
"Yes, our group infiltrated each of these three cities and conducted a detailed exploration of the city. Indeed, in Star City, I heard that the main general guarding the city was Lin Tian. The spy suddenly stopped when he said this, and after a long pause, he whispered: "And there is also the general's enemy in Star City, the Red Cloth Sect Leader Crimson Luo. ”
General Dudu's face suddenly turned red, and he gritted his teeth angrily, this demon girl killed his most beloved Princess Ruoxi, and this time she must avenge the princess.
"Someone, send the order, send troops immediately. Attack Star City. Du Du yelled sharply.
A partial general walked in from outside, and when he heard such an order, he was immediately confused, and said, "General." If you want to attack Star City, you must first take down the Tianxing Pass. ”
Du Du was stunned for a moment, and after looking at the marks of the three cities on the map, he patted his head. Just now I blamed myself for being carried away by hatred, in these three cities. Tianxing is at the front, followed by Gucheng. The farthest is Star City, and Tianxing Pass is built on a mountain range, if you don't capture this city, the army will always be hindered and unable to move forward.
"Who did you just say was guarding the Heavenly Pass?" Dudu asked, looking at the spy.
"It's Wen Zhiruo, the Taishi of Xiangxiang Country, and there are only 20,000 horses in the city." The spy replied truthfully.
"20,000?" A smile appeared on the corner of Dudu's mouth, this person wants to stop his 200,000 army? It was simply wishful thinking, and what he didn't understand was that the enemy only had 200,000 men and horses, so why did he have to defend three cities in three ways? And the best defense of Tianxing Pass is only 20,000 people, isn't this giving him a city in vain?
"General, how are we going to attack?" The general on the side asked.
"It's very simple, order the whole army to attack and capture Tianxing Pass in one fell swoop." Du Du Cai didn't care why the enemy used this stupid way to garrison the three cities, anyway, he wanted to take advantage of this excellent opportunity to capture the Tianxing Pass first, relying on the advantage of the Tianxing Pass being easy to defend and difficult to attack, to resist the enemy forces from the other two cities.
"Yes." The partial general quickly left the military tent after receiving the military order.
And Dudu fell into contemplation again, if after conquering Tianxing Pass, whether he would continue to garrison Tianxing Pass, or attack Gucheng or Star City.
From the point of view of hatred, Du Du wanted to attack Star City a little farther away, because there was his enemy Crimson Luo in this city, but he was worried that once the army attacked Star City, Le Shitong in Gu City, which was located in the rear, would send troops to fight with Lin Tian's army in front and back.
After all, Le Shitong is the guardian of Xiangxiang Country, and this fighter can definitely be seen.
For a while, Du Du also fell into a dilemma, but then he put this hesitation behind him, he planned to take one step at a time, there is always a good way to kill two birds with one stone.
Subsequently, the 200,000 troops were all dispatched, and they rushed to Tianxingguan, seeing the city wall about a few zhang high, the soldiers suddenly felt a trace of coolness in their hearts, the city wall of Tianxingguan was too high, even a cloud ladder could not reach.
Dudu also quickly rushed to the front of Tianxing Pass, and when he saw such an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack city, he did not have a trace of panic, and immediately ordered: "Use siege equipment to break open the city gate." ”
With such a high wall, it is completely impossible to break into the city from the wall, so there is only one possibility left, which is to force the city gate open, but this siege method is the most consuming of troops.
The soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, and all the soldiers are ready to attack the city, pushing the giant siege equipment and slowly approaching the gate of Tianxing Pass.
At this time, Taishi Wen Zhiruo appeared on the city wall of Tianxingguan, and when he saw the enemy attacking, he immediately ordered: "Pass the order, you must defend the city gate to the death, and the enemy must not be allowed to break open, and the archers are ready to ......."
Suddenly, hundreds of archers appeared on the city wall, full of bowstrings drawn and swishing...... In an instant, countless arrows shot downward, like countless raindrops hitting the ground, splashing countless water droplets, but these water droplets were bright red blood water.
After being shot by the bow and arrow, there were indeed many soldiers killed, but the pace of the siege did not stop, and soon many soldiers rushed up from the rear army, each holding a shield in their hands. (To be continued......)
