Chapter 726: Siege
The troops led by Murong Xue kept practicing while building fortifications, and it was another month in the blink of an eye.
In the meantime, the spies she sent out had already figured out the terrain all the way to the west, and the large army was about to reach Lincheng on the border, with a large desert in the middle.
The desert land takes three days to walk, which can be described as a natural dangerous place.
Without enough food and local guides, it would be difficult for the army to get out of such a place.
The people and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first.
During the two months she was stationed in the small city, Han Xuening led a group of women's troops to carry out agricultural activities on a large scale in and outside the small city, mainly planting grain, vegetables, dry food, and other crops.
Most of the grain and vegetables planted were for the troops accompanying the army.
During this time, Han Xuening recruited 5,000 women's teams in the city, and the personnel of the women's team expanded again, and even the 3,000 people brought out of Great Wei City had reached 8,000.
Half a month later, the grain crops have matured, and after harvesting the necessary things such as grain and vegetables, Murong Xue ordered that he would set off westward after half a month, and strive to attack Lincheng within the year.
Li Jingrong was unwilling to follow Han Xuening and Murong Xue to take risks, she took a group of guards in the small city, bid farewell to her father Li Gang, and went east to Great Wei City.
Half a month had passed, and the large army had been fully equipped, and under Murong Xue's order, they continued to advance westward.
With enough food and grass, the army quickly passed through the deserted land for hundreds of miles.
After the desert, less than two days before the early morning, the spies had already figured out the terrain ahead. Before reaching the city, there were three checkpoints in the middle, each of which was guarded by hundreds to a thousand Persian troops, who strictly checked the people who came and went.
The booty they captured from the Persian army came in handy, including clothing, weapons, etc.
After crossing the desert and walking for half a day, Murong Xue asked all the soldiers to camp in place and repair.
First of all, she sent 2,000 soldiers, dressed in the clothes of the Persian army, to confuse the Persian army at the checkpoint, and take the checkpoint there in one fell swoop.
This level was simply captured, and after the Persian army knew that it was too late, after these people were executed, the checkpoint was controlled by Murong Xue's people.
Then, the large army kept approaching.
Within a week, all three checkpoints were taken, and at this time, nearly 60,000 troops led by Murong Xue had already approached the city and camped ten miles east of the city.
In the blink of an eye, they had been away from Great Wei City for almost five months.
It's the end of November, and the weather is getting colder. The soldiers all changed into winter clothes.
Outside, the wind was cold, and inside the tent, a group of people warmed themselves around the stove, on which rice wine was simmering.
"Sister! It's getting colder and colder, and I wonder if it will snow as hard as last year? Han Xuening said to Murong Xue beside her.
Murong Xue smiled, "Yes, it's good if it snows heavily, I hope to take Lincheng a year ago and drive the Persian soldiers out of the territory of the Great Wei Kingdom." Last year, my sister also promised you that this year's New Year will be in Jindong City, and everyone will go to see fireworks together. ”
Han Xuening sighed, "Yes! It's been almost a year in the blink of an eye. ”
Murong Xue was worried about the safety of her family, it had been almost half a year since she and Han Xuening secretly came out of Jindong City, she had been missing for half a year, would the queen embarrass her father because she couldn't find her?
Also, half a year has passed since the agricultural plan of Jindong City, and I don't know what it has developed?
In fact, her heart is always thinking about the grass and trees in Jindong City.
"Sister! After we attack the city, we will go back and resume our lives! ”
Hua Zijian entered the camp tent from the outside and said to the two: "Miss Xue Ning, General Murong, the soldiers have already set up traps and traps outside according to your requirements. The three levels leading to the eastern desert have also been fortified, and we can attack Lincheng at any time. ”
Han Xuening asked Hua Zijian to come in and drink together, and Murong Xue poured him a glass of wine to keep warm.
Han Xuening said to Hua Zijian: "Zijian, in a blink of an eye, we have been out for five months, and you haven't seen the baby for half a year." When this battle is over, let's go back to see the baby together. ”
Han Xuening's words brought up Hua Zijian's thoughts about his mother and children.
"Yes! If the Great Wei State can be unified and the common people can live a good life, how good it would be! ”
Bai Zijun also came in after a while, reporting that the soldiers and horses were ready, and the women's support team led by Xiaochun and Xiaoxia was mainly responsible for food, grass and logistics, and they were also ready.
Mei Lan Zhuju, the four girls who are five big and three thick, are now worthy of the name of the main attack general.
Everyone arrived in the tent, and Murong Xue poured everyone full of wine.
Everyone drank it all, and after three glasses of wine, Murong Xue said: "Generals, now we are ready, tomorrow night, we will attack Lincheng." Catch them off guard! ”
Because of the drinking, everyone's interest was high.
Since they had won the three checkpoints, the Persian army in the city had already known that the army of the Great Wei City counteroffensive outside had arrived under the city.
There were 50,000 Persian troops in the city, plus 30,000 rebels, a total of 80,000 people.
Murong Xue is not afraid at all, she is a female general of a divine soldier, and she uses soldiers like a god.
They also have 60,000 elite soldiers of their own, which is more than enough to defeat these Persian troops!
However, the city is easy to defend and not to attack, the enemy army does not leave the city, and Murong Xue has no better way to deal with them.
Tomorrow night, their plan was to first lead 500 strong soldiers and horses to break through the city gate, and after opening the city gate, they would attack the city in one fell swoop.
The next night, it was already dark, everyone was ready, as long as Murong Xue gave the order, the vanguard army forcibly stormed the city gate.
Just after midnight, Murong Xue ordered the entire city to be attacked.
A group of sturdy soldiers in the main city of 500 men, pushing a long wooden pillar cart, quickly approached the city gate.
The enemy troops stationed on the castle tower had apparently seen the movement under the castle and immediately went to report it.
There was a large piece of wood on top of the wooden pillar cart, one end of the wood was sharpened, and at a distance of five hundred meters from the city gate, everyone pushed the cart and accelerated into the city gate.
At the gates, a crowd of archers soon arrived and fired at the people below.
The men and horses besieging the city below had already been prepared, and took out the non-shields that had been prepared long ago and blocked them, which was large enough to cover all five or six soldiers under the shields.
The wooden pillar carts were getting faster and faster, and the soldiers were blocked under their shields, and there were no casualties. In this way, the soldiers in the city became anxious.
Before long, the soldiers fired a fiery arrow at the fast-moving wooden pillar cart.
The arrow with fire is designed on a wooden shield and burns.
The wooden pillar cart soon approached the gate and slammed into it, which shook violently, though it was not knocked open. Just a few more bumps will break through the gates.
