Chapter 260 - Long Yin is blocked
"Then what are you talking about, and watching me bleed to death?"
Pang Huiying's tone changed, as if he was joking when talking to a friend, and Namura, who had been holding his face tight, couldn't help laughing.
"Yes. β
......
The river outside Denburg was strewn with corpses and fragments of warships, and it was difficult for the gentle flow of the river to wash down the corpses and fragments of warships.
Dengbao City is as stable as Mount Tai, and more than 200,000 Qinchuan troops of dozens of miles on the riverbank cannot advance or retreat.
On the tall building of the military camp, the one-armed figure faced Dengbao City, which was one of his most important defensive cities, bowed his head slightly, and most of the corpses on the river were Qinchuan soldiers.
"The order goes down, except for the soldiers who are on guard, the other soldiers go back to the tent to rest, and all the generals go to the big tent to wait for me. β
"Yes. β
Beigong Longyin grabbed the crossbar with one hand and went down the stairs.
The camp was silent, and only when the patrol soldiers were encountered, could they be heard.
Walking into the big tent, dozens of generals inside hurriedly got up.
"Meet the General. β
"Get up. β
Sitting back on the main seat, looking at the missing half of the generals, Beigong Long had no heart to grieve.
"According to the information not long ago, the Changshan army can reach the outside of Chiyuan City by early tomorrow morning at the latest, but we are still blocked here, and we are unable to advance an inch for a long time, what do you think we should do?"
"In the absence of large warships, it is difficult for us to carry out any effective attack on Dengbao City, which is high and deep, so the last general thinks that we should build some small warships that can accommodate hundreds of people, go down the river, enter the Zhenqian Dam, and then march from the Zhenqian Dam to Chiyuan. β
Not to mention that it took too long for the 200,000 troops to rush from here to Zhenqian Dam, and Chiyuan City, which was in danger, could not wait for that time. If we divide our troops and take a boat, the Changshan army on the other side will definitely send troops along the river to intercept it. They only need to choose a good position and distribute tens of thousands of people on the side, and our army of more than 200,000 will be completely lost!"
The last general thought that it was necessary to hurry up and build a few warships that could resist all the attacks of the Changshan army, and then build many small warships, rush to the opposite bank in one go, and not face the Changshan army on the river. β
"How could we ever want to fight them on the river? But they lined up all their ships on the river, and we had to rush away if we wanted to get there. But their ships were taller than ours, so they failed to rush through each time. β
"So General Ben said to build a few ships that were big enough, and use those big battles to attack their ships. β
"But if we want to build such a big warship, and now there are scouts from us and the Changshan army for hundreds of miles along the coast, who can hide it? If they know, does General Gao think that they will sit back and wait and watch us build the warship?"
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, then let's just swim over!"
This sentence made the big tent quiet all of a sudden, and several generals who had quarreled violently before were even more snorting and panting, looking at each other with red eyes.
"That's right, swim over!"
"Poofβ"
All the generals turned their heads in astonishment, Beigong Longyin's face was very serious, and he was not joking at all.
"General, this--the rain that fell a few days ago washed down the ice water on Changshan, and now it is an autumn wind gusting, and it doesn't take long for your hands and feet to feel frozen when you put them in the water. If I go into the water, I'm afraidβ"
"The other side is full of scouts, we are lucky to swim to the other side, I'm afraid they have already sent a large army to guard, I'm afraid that there will be no return!"
"Please think twice, General!"
"I didn't say swim over when it was still light. β
"General, please think twice!"
This time, not only the dozen or so generals spoke, but all the generals hurriedly knelt on the ground, trembling all over.
I don't know if it's scared, or because I think of this weather, I went into the water at night to swim across the Minzi River, which is hundreds of zhang wide.
I can't think about it, and if I think about it again, I'll die of cold.
But will Beigong Longyin listen to them?
"You go down and ask from tent to tent if anyone dares to swim in the water, and if so, let them wait at the camp in Beida. General Gao, you go to the Beida camp and pack up an open space that can accommodate tens of thousands of people!"
Seeing that the matter was irreparable, all the generals had no choice but to answer.
"Yes. β
At the same time, they all prayed in their hearts that those who went into the water tonight would never have themselves.
......
In Stone Town, Chiyuan City received news this morning that the Changshan Army, who had arrived here, was still here.
In a slightly better yard, Li Xu, dressed in military uniform, held scissors and leisurely trimmed the messy flowers and plants in the yard.
A general hurriedly ran in: "Tell the general, all the heavy wood and iron balls are ready." β
Li Xu threw the scissors away and strode out.
"The army will be drawn immediately! Be sure to rush outside Chiyuan City in the starry night!"
"Yes!"
Not long after, the cavalry led by Li Xu took the lead out of Stone Town.
The roads outside the town were more dilapidated than those on Yang Fengqing's side, but their speed was more than twice as fast as Yang Fengqing's.
Looking closely, it turned out that their mounts were wearing an iron ring on all four hooves, and the iron ring was pressed against the muddy dirt, and before it sank, the mount had left.
Then there were two rows of sixteen horses, pulling a round piece of wood with a round hole in it, in which a long iron rod was attached, and the ends of the pole were fixed.
As the horses jogged forward, the round wood rumbled, and after passing, the ground was much smoother than before.
If Yang Fengqing saw it, I am afraid that he would be tempted to slap his head hard, why did he forget it?! Isn't this like a modern road roller?!
After the log was pressed, there were more than a dozen of them behind, followed by a group of soldiers, and then a war horse pulling the log, and so on until the Changshan army in Stone Town was finished.
Their speed was no different from usual, and at this speed, not to mention the starry night, they could expect to reach Chiyuan City in a few hours.
......
Wow β
"Master, why is it calling again?"
Qiu Zitong now sits facing forward, because she is not sleepy now, she wants to see the scenery around her and the people who come and go.
Turning his head, his hands were still brushing the mane of the White Cloud Divine Horse.
On top of her small hands, many manes were clumped.
"It's telling you, don't get its handsome mane anymore, or it won't let you sit on it in the future. β
"But I didn't hear it, and the horses don't seem to be able to speak, do you? Master, how do you know?"
Qiu Zitong turned his head again, and his little hand was reluctant to let go of the half-finished mane.
Yang Fengqing summed it up that every time Qiu Zitong spoke, the problem was a string.
"Because it will say, right? If it's right, you're going to scream. β
Hmmm-
Qiu Zitong hurriedly let go of his hand, and Danfeng's eyes showed a dazzling light, surprised and delighted.
"It-it really seems to be able to understand what you're saying?!"
Shao Chenghao, who was on the side, had just been watching with a smile, and when he heard Yang Fengqing tell such a well-debunked lie, he was thinking about how he would explain it for a while.
The faces of all the people behind Yang Fengqing were the same as him, as if they had seen a ghost.
"Of course you can, or why do you think I always have to ride it?"
"Can it understand what I'm saying? Hey, what's your name? Can we be friends?"
The White Cloud Divine Horse turned his head sideways, and the two fist-sized eyes of Qiu Zitong looked at it well, and shook his head.
Hmmm-
Although Qiu Zitong didn't hear the answer of the White Cloud Divine Horse, she still understood the appearance of the White Cloud Divine Horse, and couldn't help but feel a little sad. Just as he was about to continue talking, Shao Chenghao had already shouted: "No, Childe, this- what's going on?!"
Yang Fengqing clamped the belly of the Baiyun Divine Horse slightly, and its head turned to look straight ahead, but Shao Chenghao could still feel that the big eye on his left was observing him, not to mention how weird it felt.
There was surprise, but more of it should have been horror.
With such a high command and such a huge body, if they wanted to kill, they could not be their opponents alone!
"It's just a coincidence, how can you believe it?"
"No, it's-"
"Now that the road is a little drier, let's speed it up. β
"Yes. β
......
After sufficient preparations, a new round of siege began.
The confident division cadres quickly found that things were not simple, no matter which city gate was attacked, the defenders on the city tower did not increase, but the morale was 108,000 miles different from before.
"What's going on?!What the hell did they get?
"Impossible, if he comes back, according to his character, he will definitely go to Shangcho City first, and there is no news from Shangcho City. β
"But I don't believe that you can still resist my 100,000 soldiers with such a small number of people! Don't try it in other directions, and attack the East City Gate with all your might!"
"Yes!"
Liu Chang'an on the east gate has been paying attention to every move of the coalition army, seeing that the Shangguan troops on both sides are back, and then looking at the thinner defense line on the city wall, although he has the confidence of victory, he still can't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
"Hold on, reinforcements are on their way!"
"Yes!"
......
Three miles away from the east gate of the West Devouring City, a team of tens of thousands of people quietly lurked in the tall dense forest.
Ergou confirmed again and turned his face to Luo Daguang.
"Daguang, listen!"
"I heard that the Shangguan army besieging the West Devouring City was attacking the West Devouring City. β
"What are we going to do? and rush over like we did before, and deliver them the fatal blow?"
"Our speed is certainly not as fast as the messenger who came down along Beijin, but Shi Qian attacked the West Devouring City without a fortification for three miles behind him, don't you think it's strange?"
"That's right, what's going on? Shi Qian, that guy doesn't let out a single fart on weekdays, but he is very ruthless, so he won't be in a corner where he prepares to us, right?"
Luo Daguang shook his head, he really didn't understand what the situation was now.
I wanted to send scouts over to find out what the situation was, but I was afraid that Shi Qian really didn't know about Jing Gucheng, and if the scouts were caught, a great opportunity would be wasted.
wanted to rush over directly, but he was worried that Shi Qian had set up an ambush, and Shi Qian, who knew them well, was likely to do so.
"You'd better think about it faster! The voice over there in the West Devouring City is starting to quiet!"
"I was thinking, don't bother me!"
"What's there to think about, as long as we rush over and shout our name, the defenders in the West Devouring City must think that we are led by the Great General. When the time comes, we will attack from both ends, no matter what conspiracy Shi Qian has, he can't control the situation at all!"
"That being said, in case we haven't rushed to -"
"Then let's sneak over, spread out the army, and retreat or rush into the city as long as there is a situation!"
"Okay, then touch it quietly, and everyone dismounts!"
