The 300,000 Ming troops, plus more than 200,000 people, the grain and grass needed can be imagined, which is definitely a huge amount.

Yunzhou was not an important grain producing area in the first place, and when the Han army withdrew from Nanyu City, they took away most of the grain and grass in the city by the way, leaving only a part of the rations for the people in the city, enough for them to eat for a month.

As a result, the Ming army had to rely on long supply lines and grain trucks from other states.

This is a military taboo, not to mention that the longer the supply line, the easier it is to be interrupted, it is said that once the Han army endlessly adopts delaying tactics, the supply pressure of the Ming army will only increase, and the more manpower and material resources the Ming State invests, the more time passes, the Ming State will definitely not be able to bear it.

Wei Qubing didn't even have the slightest sympathy for the Ming army, he just thought about defeating the Ming army as soon as possible and making contributions.

In order to accelerate the decline of the Ming army, Wei Qubing also had countermeasures. When the imperial court issued a military order for the whole army to withdraw from Nanyucheng and enter the military city, Wei Qubing did not strictly follow the military order, but secretly left more than a thousand Han troops and scattered them all over Yunzhou to hide.

The young general of the Ming Kingdom looked at the military city in front of him like a turtle shell, even if he was a flood beast, there was no way to enter this hard shell that could not be broken and attacked, and there was no way to take the Han army in the city completely. Helpless, the young general could only continue to send people and report to the vanguard general.

The vanguard general of the Ming army, after receiving the report of the junior general, he did not want to waste any more time waiting, he immediately pulled out the camp and ordered the whole army to march to the mountain range where the military city of the Han State was located. Tens of thousands of Ming troops are like a long snake. Once you've climbed the mountains, you'll head into the valley.

In the valley, there is a sheep intestine path, which was specially built by the Han Kingdom in order to facilitate the communication between the military city and the southern jade city. The Ming army marched at full speed to the military city through this trail, and in less than half a day, they arrived at the big tent where the Ming army was encamped.

"General, the walls of the military city are too high"

Although the young general's words trembled, the meaning of the words was very clear to the vanguard general.

"You led five thousand troops, and you provoked outside the city day and night. Try to provoke the Han army. Let them out of town. The vanguard general said.

The young general nodded and took the order.

"Captain Zuo Feng, you lead 3,000 soldiers to guard the necessary place in the military city. Prevent the Han army from sending reinforcements to join the army of the military city. The vanguard general said. If you find reinforcements from the Han army. Early warning is the first priority, and the enemy should not be underestimated. ”

"Right Lieutenant, you lead five thousand soldiers. Defend the camp outside the mountains and build a granary to keep the army safe. ”

"Captain Yongwu, you take 10,000 soldiers and take turns to cut down trees, build wells and ladders. I will see at least 200 ladders in half a day. ”

"The rest of the sergeants, build barracks, bury pots and cook, rest and reorganize, and be ready to attack the city at any time."

Vanguard general, ordered in succession.

The soldiers of the Ming army, led the division of labor, and made a long-term camp and siege posture outside the military city.

However, the strategy of the Ming army did not seem to work, and the Han army in the military city allowed the Ming army to be all kinds of radical generals outside the city, always disciplined, quiet, and ignored what the Ming army did.

Although the lord of the Han State is not in the country, the establishment of a military city is the order of the lord of the country.

The ruler, who strictly followed the orders of the lord, reacted immediately when the military city was threatened. In addition to increasing military strength and strengthening defense at the junction of the Han State and the Ming State, it also recruited 50,000 recruits in the Han State, and then sent 30,000 of them to replace some veterans in the Qi State and Jin State to guard the new land. Immediately afterwards, 30,000 veterans, together with the remaining 20,000 recruits, rushed to the military city overnight.

And the most important point, in order to prevent being in a passive state of being beaten in the war, the Han National Bureau of Statistics planted spies in the Ming Kingdom early in the morning. Although these hidden forces have not been well penetrated in the upper layers of the Ming Kingdom, they have a solid foundation in the middle and lower layers of the Ming Kingdom.

Therefore, not long after the Ming army was assembled, Guan Zheng learned about their movements through the intelligence network of the Statistics Bureau in the Ming Kingdom.

When the Ming State announced that it would expel the Han army and crusade against the Han State, the government had already focused on how to carefully complete the tasks assigned by the master, and be sure to defend the Han State, especially the strategic place of the military city.

Because, the mines in the military city are the most valuable places in the Han Kingdom. The energy stone mines in this mine, once discovered, are enough to cause a war between the two planets. Therefore, there is no room for loss in the military city. Any force that wants to seize the military city of the Han State must be completely eradicated.

The administration immediately drew up an operational plan in light of the situation. The core of this operational plan did not rely on the personal ability of any one of the Han generals, but on the close coordination of the whole army. The purpose of the plan was to try to encircle and annihilate the 300,000 troops of the Ming Kingdom in Yunzhou.

As long as the Han army succeeded in encircling and annihilating the Ming army, the Han State could annex Yunzhou, and then further force the Ming State to sign an alliance and cede Yunzhou. Only when the Ming State ceded Yunzhou, the Han State could take energy stones on the boundary of Yunzhou with peace of mind.

The most important part of the management and operation plan was to let the Ming army gather in Yunzhou, especially near Nanyucheng. He wants to finish his work in one battle, and the victory and defeat will be determined in one battle!

Therefore, the task of managing the government to Wei Qubing is very simple, as long as Wei Qubing leads the army to guard the military city, and ensures that at least half a month, the enemy army will not be able to start. This tactic was to delay the time of the Ming army, increase the pressure on its food and grass, and discourage its army.

The reinforcements of the Han army will be divided into two parts, one part is lurking on the border of the Han State, not far from the military city. The other part is a detour into the territory of Yunzhou.

When the time is ripe to annihilate the Ming army in one fell swoop, the Han State can fully blossom, occupy Yunzhou, and capture the Ming army. Even attacking Yunzhou and threatening other states can force the Ming court to sign an armistice agreement.

And the ultimate weapon of the government is the five armed spider machines in the military city. Before leaving, Du Le had already handed over the control of the five spider machines to Guan Zheng.

At the same time, the Ming army marched day and night under the leadership of the general Zhengnan, and it was estimated that it would be possible to reach Nanyucheng in less than ten days.

The Ming army dispatched a large army this time and arrived at Nanyucheng in a mighty way. It was not just for the purpose of expelling the Han army. They also had to cross the mountains, fight the bloody road, and attack the hinterland of the Han Kingdom.

The military city, which is located in the mountains and valleys, is next to the communication arteries of the Ming and Han countries, and is very important in terms of military status.

On top of that, the mountain range where the military city is located is said to be a gold mine. on this. Of course, the Ming Kingdom is eyeing it. In order to occupy the military city. In order to finally occupy this gold mine, the Ming Kingdom has long regarded the military city as the military city of the Ming Kingdom, and it is imperative to obtain it.

So. The day after the vanguard general arrived outside the military city. After observation. It was found that the Han army in the military city only wanted to defend the city, and there was no movement to go out of the city to face the battle, in order to fight quickly. It was decided to storm at the moment.

"Kill" countless shouts of killing echoed in the valley, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Hundreds of ladders, pushed forward by hundreds of thousands of Ming troops, like giant snakes spitting letters, quickly rushed towards the walls of the military city. As soon as the ladder approached and was set up on the city wall, the soldiers of the Ming army surged up like countless ants.

In the face of this menacing enemy army like a flood of embankments, the Han army defending the city did not panic, and the soldiers of the Han army who had been on guard on the city wall raised stones one after another, aiming at the invaders under the wall and smashing them.

In order to suppress the Han defenders on the city walls, the Ming army had to build wells. However, the city wall of the military city was too high, and the valley was not wide and flat, and the well built by the Ming army did little damage to the Han army on the city wall.

However, less than an hour after the siege order was issued, the vanguard general of the Ming State painfully found that the Ming army had lost no less than 3,000 soldiers under the city, but it had hardly caused any damage to the Han army in the city, and the vanguard general had to suspend the siege and collect troops for rectification.

Compared with the losses of the Ming army, the Han army of Wei Quai's illness did suffer very few casualties, only more than 300 casualties.

"General, our well is completely powerless." In the big tent of the vanguard general, the generals and schools gathered, all of them with sad faces. After this trial battle, the Ming army knew that the military city was like a difficult bone to gnaw, and the Ming army had almost no way to start.

"Whoever has a plan to help the army capture the military city should be credited with the first credit." The vanguard general was helpless and anxious, he looked around the big tent, hoping that there was a warrior in the army who could solve the urgent need in front of him, but no one stood up for a long time.

"I don't know if I can dig a tunnel." Finally, a lieutenant spoke up.

The vanguard general shook his head in his heart, he had already observed that the military city was a mountain city, full of rocks, and it could not be shaken, and the Ming army could not dig tunnels at all.

However, the vanguard general still encouraged: "This plan is not appropriate, what else is the plan?" ”

There are several people who have said several strategies, but they are completely unpractical. Fire plan, burning the mountain, that is to put the Ming army into it. There is no embankment nearby, there is no continuous rain, and there is no possibility of storing water.

"Build more high-rise wells to suppress the defenders of the military city." The vanguard general had no choice but to repeat his old tricks.

The next day, the Ming army attacked the city again. This time, the Ming army had an extra fifty wells.

But in this regard, the Han army also had a good plan to deal with it.

The well was near the wall, but not higher than the wall. The Ming army on the well can shoot the Han army on the wall from a distance, and similarly, the Han army can also shoot the well from a distance. In this way, the Han army had more geographical advantages than the Ming army.

Wei ordered the archers to launch rockets from the city walls to attack the Ming army and its wells.

Due to the inconvenience of the Ming army's wells, within a while, most of the wells that the Ming army had worked hard to build were burned down under the rocket attack of the Han army. The Ming army once again lost thousands of soldiers under the military city.

After the two battles, the Ming army really lost its troops. In desperation, the vanguard general had to order the withdrawal of troops again. The two armies entered a state of confrontation for the time being.

The vanguard general of the Ming army was not a pedantic and stubborn person. Since he could not capture the military city, after thinking about it again, he decided to send a team of soldiers to cross the mountains and attack the border of the Han State, in order to put pressure on the Han army in the military city. However, for the sake of insurance, the vanguard general still left more than 30,000 Ming troops to guard the gate of the military city.

Wei Qubing and Nangong Yanyi went to the city wall of the military city at the same time to observe the movements of the Ming army.

"General Wei, when will our reinforcements arrive?" Nangong Yan looked at the looming threat in the distance, and turned his head to Wei Quzhi and asked. He was not afraid of the Ming army for a long time, because the current situation was very clear, and the Ming army could not help the military city. Nangong Yan's only concern was that the military town was guarded for too long, which might not be a good thing for the Han army.

"I have received the exact message. Our reinforcements have arrived. Wei Quzhi said with a smile.

"Oh, why don't you see reinforcements then?" When Nangong Yan heard this, he had a big stone in his heart, but he still had doubts, because he had not yet seen where the reinforcements were.

"Hold on, we're going to fight back." Wei Quzhi's smile was quite meaningful.

The officials of the Bureau of Statistics had already informed Wei Quai, summoned the soldiers of the Han army, and entered the battle at any time. When Wei Quzhi learned the news, he immediately judged it. The time has come for the Han army to counterattack.

According to the personnel of the Bureau of Statistics. Using the contact device, the data collected by the administrator was entered into the core of five armed spider machines. All officers and men of the Han Army. A red band will be tied around the left arm. And anything with a weapon. Anyone who does not have a red belt tied will be targeted by armed spider machines.

Ten days later, the vanguard general of the Ming Kingdom. He was sitting in a big tent. Today, he still keeps an eye on the situation in the military city. It's just that he has more energy to pay attention to the strange soldiers who attacked the Han Kingdom. Not long ago, Tanma sent back information that more than 10,000 Ming troops in the Han Kingdom were intercepted by the Han army. The vanguard general immediately ordered them to withdraw, but their situation is still unknown.

Just when the vanguard general hesitated to take the initiative to ask for help from the army behind him, good news came from the back that the Ming army finally arrived in Nanyucheng. Once the Ming reinforcements could arrive in time and hold the gate of the military city, the vanguard general could take his soldiers into the territory of the Han State to support the strange soldiers he sent into the Han State.

"Report!" A pro-soldier shouted outside the tent.

"Come in." Said the vanguard general.

When the soldiers entered, they knelt down with their fists and reported to the vanguard general: "General, there is movement in the military city. ”

"Oh!" The vanguard general was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly put on his armor and walked out of the big tent. Surprised, I don't know what the Han army is moving and what its purpose is. Happy, as long as there is movement in the Han army, the Ming army will not have no way to deal with it, and can only look at the strong city.

The vanguard general quickly came to a sentry post in front of the barracks to observe the movement of the gates of the military city. But to the surprise of the vanguard general, he actually saw the Han army open the gate of the military city.

Could it be that the Han army wanted to surrender? The vanguard general couldn't help but think.

"Queue up, prepare to meet the enemy!" The vanguard general said quickly. He is not an inexperienced fool, and he will not think that Han Jun is a fool. Therefore, the vanguard general ordered the Ming army to prepare immediately to respond to all changes.

The 30,000 Ming troops lined up and lined up in this not wide valley. The vanguard general was not worried that the Han army would open the city gate to attack his army, because the Han army in the military city was not numerically enough to pose a threat to his army.

However, what happened next caused great fear before the vanguard general could be disappointed......

The gate of the military city opened, and it was not the Han soldiers who came out, but five big spider monsters!

For a moment, no one in the Ming army was exclaimed. If it weren't for the strict military law, the soldiers of the Ming army would have retreated and fled a long time ago, just ask the Ming army, who has never seen a spider machine, who can be fearless in the face of such a huge monster?

The vanguard general didn't expect the rumors to become true, and there really were giant spiders in the Han Kingdom.

"Don't be afraid, there are only a few spiders, we have 30,000 people, and we can completely wipe out a few of them." Although the vanguard general had no bottom in his heart, in order to encourage the whole army, he had to shout loudly.

Fortunately, the vanguard general Ming army has always had a high prestige, and his words quickly calmed down the Ming soldiers who were wavering in their hearts.

"Prepare the rocket!" The vanguard general stared at the spider monster in front of him and quickly ordered a battle. No matter what kind of youkai he is, he must be right to attack with fire.

Thousands of Ming army archers, immediately ready rockets.

The five spider machines that crawled out of the military city slowly advanced towards the Ming army camp.

Five hundred steps, four hundred steps

"Archery!" The vanguard general waited until the approaching giant spiders came into their range, and then gave the order. Thousands of rockets, like a burning rain of arrows, rushed towards the spider machine with a raging fire.

Da-da-da-da

The rocket hits the spider machine, and a steely sound sounds. Unfortunately, after the sound dissipated, the spider machine was undamaged.

Seeing this, the vanguard general was shocked that the rocket was no threat to the spider machine.

Bang bang bang

Two machine guns, armed with spider machines, began to attack the soldiers in front of the Ming army. Countless Ming soldiers were shot and killed before they could react.

In the face of this giant spider monster that made them helpless for some reason, the Ming soldiers were frightened. The jet machine gun on the armed spider machine was regarded by the Ming soldiers as a demon spell, constantly reaping the lives of their colleagues.

"Kill!" The vanguard general drew his sword and shouted. The vanguard general was helpless, with his experience, no matter how difficult it was, he knew that the Daoming army could not retreat. Because once the Ming army retreated, the whole army would be defeated.

The thousands of Ming troops in front, at the urging of the generals, rushed towards the giant spider.

Ping Pong

The soldiers of the Ming army tragically found that the spears and swords in their hands were completely unable to cause any damage to the giant spider monster. The giant spider monster, on the other hand, used the knife of its forelimbs to easily end their lives.

"Ahh Run, youkai! Finally, some soldiers couldn't help but collapse, and immediately after, more and more soldiers threw down their weapons and turned to flee.

Seeing this, the vanguard general also knew that he could no longer attack, so he hurriedly shouted: "The rear army and the front army, evacuate." ”

With the help of the pro-guard, the vanguard general turned and fled.

At this time, the Han army in the military city saw the opportunity, went out of the city in full armor, and chased the Ming army. In order to better cope with the war, the governor temporarily delegated the control of the five spider machines to the officials of the statistics bureau in the military city. Guan Zheng ordered the officials of the Bureau of Statistics to control the spider machine and drive away the Ming army.

Guan Zheng made this strategic arrangement in order to drive away the defeated Ming army and attack the Ming army outside the mountain range.

Five spider machines can completely kill the Ming army as if they were in a no-man's land. The Ming army simply could not cope with the spider machine and could only flee. As long as the Ming army of hundreds of thousands of troops is in chaos, the Han army can take the opportunity to annihilate the Ming army in chaos.

A person's fear, once it reaches a certain limit, can cause a person to collapse. Those who collapse will only run away desperately to a safe place.

In fact, as soon as the Ming army stepped into Nanyucheng, Guan Zheng got the news and immediately ordered the Han army to prepare for battle. The hidden personnel of the Bureau of Statistics first got the location of the general of the Ming Army

Therefore, under the control of the officials of the Bureau of Statistics, armed spider machines to drive out the rout of the Ming army were in the direction of Nanyucheng. The target of arming the spider machine is the commander of the Ming army, the general of Zhengnan.

South Jade City.

The officials of Yunzhou, in order to appease the general of Zhengnan, deliberately selected a group of beauties in various places and contributed to the general.

At this time, the general of Zhengnan was in the city, drinking and having fun.

Many generals of the Ming army couldn't help but be proud in their hearts when they learned that the Han army was easily driven away from Nanyucheng, and they looked down on the Han army even more. Besides, outside Nanyu City, there are at least 200,000 Ming troops stationed, so in the eyes of the Ming generals, they are safe.

"The vanguard general, he can't capture the military city for a long time, it's really incompetent." General Zhengnan said while kneading the vital point of a beautiful woman.

Many of the generals who were red-eyed vanguard generals echoed their remarks. (To be continued......)
