Chapter 46: Siege? How to attack?
Cheng Yanjin was worried, and silently left the city wall.
He quickly returned to Nanying and called Cheng Chumo.
"General, what do you command?"
Cheng Chumo was accustomed to being called in the army, and opened his mouth to call General Cheng Yanjin.
"The Turks sent 30,000 troops, vowing to attack Fengzhou, Fengzhou, difficult to defend."
Cheng Yanjin's face was not good-looking, he never thought that all the Turkic tribes in the entire Monan grassland would target Fengzhou, and it stands to reason that the Turkic tribes would only fight separately in the absence of the commander of the king's tent.
"Shall we go for help?"
Cheng was silent for a moment, and then asked Cheng Yanjin's opinion.
"It's too late, now that the snow is closing the road, if you ask for help, you can come and go for half a month."
Cheng Yanjin shook his head and denied Cheng Chumo's thoughts.
"So what should we do?"
Cheng Chumo was silent for a while and then asked, he obviously didn't think that his father would run away, according to his understanding of his father, Cheng Yanjin would choose to stick to Fengzhou nine times out of ten.
"Cheng Chu silently obeys the order!"
Cheng Yanjin instantly became serious and began to give Cheng Chumo orders.
"If Fengzhou is lost, I will lead all the soldiers to desperately stop the Turks, you must ensure the safety of Li Yan, the defender of Fengzhou, and when the time comes, you will escort him out of the city."
Cheng Yanjin made a prudent decision.
Now he is the only one in the entire Fengzhou City who knows that Li Yan actually has the identity of a prince, although he and Li Shimin have not yet recognized each other, but he Cheng Biting Jin as a minister, he must protect Li Yan.
If something happens to Li Yan, it will be a sin that he will not be able to let go of in his life.
"Yes."
Although Cheng Chumo didn't understand why Cheng Yanjin gave such an order, he would still firmly abide by the order, which Cheng Yanjin had taught him since he was a child.
"Eh, I'm afraid that he will take you out when the time comes......"
Cheng Yanjin sighed silently in his heart, he asked Cheng Chumo to follow Li Yan to death, and also to find a way out for Cheng Chumo.
With Li Yan's force, it is basically impossible for him to be stopped by the Turks, as long as Li Yan wants to leave, I am afraid that no one in the world can keep him.
Cheng Yanjin still has an unforgettable understanding of Li Yan's explosive force value.
After giving Cheng Chumo an explanation, Cheng Yanjin also began to arrange the soldiers and horses of the southern camp, ready to deal with the Turkic siege at any time.
……
Under Cheng Yanjin's order, all the soldiers of the entire southern camp began to wear armor, and in such a cold winter, armor is also a difficulty for soldiers to overcome.
Cloth armor and leather armor are easy to say, but once there is a little metal on the armor, then it is simply not protection for the soldiers, but torture.
The biting chill challenges the nerves of every soldier!
Finally, three days later, the North City Gate came to report that the Turks had assembled three miles outside the city of Fengzhou.
At this moment, there are no more than 10,000 Turks who have arrived at the gathering point, and the rest of the tribesmen are still on the way, and they have not yet broken through the triangular nail and hunting pit area arranged by Li Yan.
"Damn the Moon Tribe, it's not punctual!"
"Could it be that so many of our tribes are waiting for them here? Who has so many dry food reserves? ”
"This group of Tang people deserves to die, we lost dozens of people on the way!"
A group of Turkic tribal leaders gathered in everything, shouting and cursing frantically.
This triangular nail made by Li Yan is simply a sharp weapon for torturing people.
All the tribes were tormented by the triangular nail when they were marching in the snow, and they didn't know how the nail was made, and anyone who was injured by it would inevitably have a red and swollen wound in just one day, and it would festered in two days!
This, combined with the fact that not all the triangular nails were removed when the snow cleared the way, led to even greater losses, and even a tribal leader was injured and is now lying in a makeshift tent with a high fever.
The most terrible thing now is that the number of people they have arrived here is only more than 16,000, but there have been thousands of wounded, some of whom have been shaded by triangular nails and hunting pits, and others who have been frozen by the weather.
If Li Yan knew the current situation of the Turks, he was afraid that he would laugh three times, he originally arranged the triangular nails to deal with the cavalry, especially those triangular nails suspended in the snow layer were even more powerful weapons for horses.
And in order to make the other party suffer more, Li Yan specially used a thing called "Yoneda Gong" to extract it when he ordered someone to make triangular nails, although the effect will be affected by the weather, but basically after being injured by triangular nails, inflammation and suppuration are appropriate.
Li Yan actually miscalculated for a while, he didn't expect that the snow in winter would make the Turks choose to move forward in the way of infantry, and now it can have such a killing effect, which can actually be regarded as a mistake.
"We only have enough dry food to eat for five days."
"Our tribe is similar, if the siege fails, I'm afraid we will ......"
"How can they get to the tribes of Chuyue and Huluzhan? Do you really want all the tribes to wait for them? ”
The leaders of the tribes continued to be irritable, and the face of Chu Mu Kunluo also became ugly.
To tell the truth, it was clear to him why these tribes were late, and they had apparently slowed down their march and were carefully removing the triangular nails from the snow.
At that time, Chu Mukun Luo also had this idea, but considering that there were too many tribes involved, and his own tribe did not carry much dry food, he chose to march in exchange for human life.
Now it seems that he was still sloppy after all.
"Why don't we attack the city directly? After capturing Toyoshu, the city was closed directly, and I want to see what they can do! ”
Suddenly, the leader of a tribe said fiercely.
He is from the Baodianmi tribe, and he is also a big clan in the Monan grassland.
There was already a lot of competition between them and the Chuyue and Huluzhan tribes, and he wished to attack Fengzhou as soon as possible, and then exclude the two clans of Chuyue and Huluzhan.
"Siege? How to attack? ”
Chu Mu Kun Luo Lu directly pointed out an extremely fatal problem, they only have 15,000 soldiers to fight now, and the risk of storming Fengzhou is too great.
If they don't wait for the more than 10,000 people of the remaining tribes, I am afraid that there will not be too many people left who can survive after they capture Fengzhou.
"Naturally, the big tribe took the lead in attacking the city, is it possible that I and the small tribe of only five hundred people will be sent to death first?"
The sound of discord finally appeared, and the direction of the sound was the place where several small tribal leaders huddled together to keep warm.
In the face of this kind of war that unites the entire Monan grassland, their small tribes can only choose a temporary alliance with each other, otherwise when the war comes, the small tribes will inevitably be victims, and the benefits of the battle will not be divided much.
"Humph!"
The leader of the Treasure Point Secret Tribe snorted coldly and stopped talking.
Now that the tribes are allied, there is no royal tent to sit in the town, so naturally no one is willing to act as cannon fodder, which is completely brain-dead.
"This ......"
Chu Mu Kunluo had a headache, with the brains of this group of people, he was not worthy of being the head of the tribe at all.
It's all like this, and they're still quarreling!
