Wei Qing nodded approvingly and said:

"It's right to go sick, this Prince Merck is not simple.

It's still His Majesty's words, and the hearts of those who are not of my race will be different.

Now we are very good with Rouran, but it can't be good all the time, the superficial things can be known to them, used to deter, our core things, not a single one can be revealed, notify it, the officials and generals or the people along the way, the tone is tighter for me, no one can talk nonsense. ”

"It's the Governor!" The generals stood up.

Following!

Prince Merck led the mission all the way south.

Go to Liangzhou first.

After coming in, sure enough, the situation here is slightly better than in Hexi, especially in the hinterland of Liangzhou.

I was even more impressed by the dense population here.

Then enter Guanzhong and go east along Weishui.

I was amazed by the vast fertile land here, and the still thriving urban and rural areas.

Cross the Weishui and come to the west gate of Chang'an City.

Although a group of people had already estimated.

But I was still stunned by the magnanimity of Chang'an.

"This is Chang'an, the capital of the Great Zhou! It's really big, the walls that can't be seen at a glance, tall and strong. ”

When they arrived here, Merck and others were sincerely afraid and admired.

Their small house, the military tent group of the royal court, is nothing in front of the national capital of the Great Zhou.

"What kind of country is the Great Zhou, it is so rich and prosperous, and what kind of people's power, financial resources and heritage are needed to build such a large national capital!"

"King, let's enter the city early, the city gate will not be allowed to enter at night, you need to wait for tomorrow!" The people from the Hexi Governor's Mansion, who led them into the customs, awakened the Rouran Mission.

I couldn't help but feel a little disdainful in my heart.

A barbarian is a barbarian.

Where do you know the strength of the Heavenly Empire.

Where to know the true charm of Chang'an.

Big is just the most basic indicator.

"We're tired, let's go into the city!" Prince Merck complimented the leader of the group more and more.

The city gate was strictly guarded, and only after inspecting it was released.

At this time, the officials of the Great Zhou Rite Department who received the news were waiting in the city

After greeting each other, the officials of the Ministry of Rites took the Rouran delegation to the post house to stay.

Although it was dusk, there were still many pedestrians on the streets.

The prosperity can be seen.

The architecture of the city is even more exquisite.

It simply dazzled Merck and others.

"The prince doesn't need to be nostalgic, these are just ordinary street scenes, I have eight major scenery in Chang'an, three cities in the east, west and south, you can go to the eight major scenery to appreciate the beautiful things, if you want to join in the fun, you can go to the three cities. Make sure you are satisfied and reluctant to leave. The official of the Ministry of Rites smiled: "Of course, the premise is that you have enough silver." ”

"Hahaha, Master Guo is funny, then we can bring more gold and silver when we go out, and open our eyes!" Merck and the others laughed heartily.

Although he is heroic, he has no confidence in his heart.

I don't know if the money brought is enough.

Such a majestic city, the city is full of exquisite beauty, and it should be expensive to buy things.

…………

Nanyang!

Di Qing followed the old routine and did not send troops to attack the city at the first time.

Instead, the trebuchet threw the stone and smashed it hard for three days.

The gate tower at the north gate was smashed.

The fortified north gate was smashed to pieces.

Several sections of the wall collapsed several times, and Chu Yueguo's side rushed to repair it several times.

For this reason, the nerves of the 200,000-strong army in the city have been tense.

I was afraid that Di Qing would suddenly attack the city.

Especially yesterday, there were at least tens of thousands of soldiers, standing by in armor, and did not dare to rest.

"Report! Handsome! Chu Yueguo's support from all sides has arrived in Xiangyang City! ”

Di Qing stood up and asked, "How many people are here?" ”

"Back to Dashuai, there are 5,000 people in Chuyue who have entered the city, and there are many masters who have come, and the specific number needs to be made clear by Jinyiwei!"

Di Qing glanced at Ding Chunqiu, who was accompanying him.

Ding Chunqiu went down to find Jinyiwei's people.

Soon Ding Chunqiu returned.

At this time, Di Qing was the only one in the hall.

"How's that!" Di Qing asked.

Ding Chunqiu said: "There are a few sixth-grade, many fifth-grade and fourth-grade masters, and it is impossible to complete the night attack and beheading."

As far as the attack on the city is concerned, it may be somewhat blocked, and we should provide support to Your Majesty at the main point and bring half of the people of the Great Yan Martial Division. ”

"Chu Yueguo is completely out of the box this time!" Di Qing Dao:

"In this way, we can only take it step by step and use the elite army to eliminate the army of Chu Yue Kingdom head-on.

Forced them to withdraw from Xiangyang on their own. ”

"Let's contact the Dayan Martial Division, you can adjust as much as you can, and at the same time, please ask Your Majesty to come and take charge of this siege."

"Good!"

Ye Qing still has a few masters there.

If they all come, they can also deal with this increase in troops from Chu Yueguo.

Di Qing's request was soon sent to Xinye.

From Xinye to Xiangyang, you can get there in one day.

In the middle of the night the next day, Ye Qing arrived outside Xiangyang City.

"Your Majesty!"

"Go to the tent and say it!"

After entering the military tent, Ye Qing asked, "How is the battle situation today?" ”

Di Qing replied: "Back to Your Majesty, today we launched an attack to wipe the probe, suppressed it with trebuchets, advanced with a bed crossbow, and once attacked the city.

Killed and injured many soldiers of Chu Yue Kingdom!

Chu Yueguo's resistance was very fierce, and there were too many crossbow equipment.

If our army sends soldiers to attack, there will still be great casualties! ”

"Then what good plan do you have to break the city?" Ye Qing asked again.

Di Qing said: "Your Majesty, we still have to increase the number of trebuchets, dig more rocks, and the front is mainly bombarded with stone shells."

At the same time, the number of bed crossbows is also increased, and the defense is broken in the front.

Then use the well to build an arrow tower, take advantage of the high position, use the bow and crossbow to kill and injure a large number of enemy troops, and suppress the crossbow army against Chu Yueguo.

Provide a vision for our army and control the dispatch of the Chu Yue National Army in the city. ”

"Yes, as long as it is conducive to the siege of the city and the reduction of casualties of our army, these are all fine." Ye Qing's fingers tapped twice on the table, making a tuk tuk sound.

Then he said, "I'll send you the trap bird!" ”

Trap birds, they can hover in the sky.

Not only can you see the situation in Beicheng clearly.

Even the situation in Xiangyang City can be seen clearly!

It's so miraculous, it's not too pretty.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Di Qing replied excitedly.

With the trap bird, he will be more confident in capturing Xiangyang.

"Breaking through the city gate is not the most difficult now, the most difficult thing is how to capture the huge Xiangyang City, the inside of the city is much more complicated than the outside, the army of Chu Yue Kingdom now has 250,000, if he fights with you in the streets, how can you advance!" Ye Qing asked again.

Chu Yue Guo was equipped with a large number of repeating crossbows, and these things were even more advantageous in the city.

It is conceivable that once you enter the city, the resistance will be stronger than the city gates.

Di Qing already had a draft, and replied directly: "The lord is easy to do, we continue to use trebuchets to smash stones, use crossbows to destroy people's houses, step by step, and slowly advance."

If the people of Chu Yue are hiding in civilian houses, then their non-combat attrition will increase greatly! ”

"But what do you do...... What should the people of Xiangyang City do, it will cause casualties among these ordinary people, and it will hurt the hearts of the people of our Great Zhou army, and from now on, our Great Zhou army will be labeled as brutal and unkind, and the people of Chu Yue Kingdom will be afraid of us, and it will be difficult to win the hearts of the people! Ye Qing suddenly asked a sharp and thorny question.

It's a challenging question.
