Chapter 37: The Battle of Jinyang (3)

Round after round of boulders, they continued to smash towards Wolf Mengcheng.

From top to bottom, the entire city wall was splashed with rubble and dust.

Most of the defenders above the city head went down to the city to hide, and even the Zhao army stationed above the city head also hid their bodies behind the battlements and shrunk into a ball.

The lieutenant general Wang She led his personal guards and also came down to the city.

Looking at the constantly shaking Wolf Meng City Wall, Wang She knew that Wolf Meng City might not be able to defend it.

A personal guard behind him leaned into Wang She's ear and whispered: "General, time is not waiting for me!" ”

Hearing this, the deputy general Wang She stopped and stood speechless for a long time.

After a long while, he looked up at the sky and instructed the guards beside him, "Let's go, go to the city gate." ”

The Yan military array outside the city was neatly arranged one by one.

There was no sound in the array except for the sound of orders from the catapult camp and the whistling of stones across the sky.

Lejian looked at the wolf Meng Cheng in front of him on the horse, and the thoughts in his mind were rolling.

In the past few years, I have seen Yan Guo grow from small to big, from weak to strong, which can be described by the words "incredible". Especially the army of Yan State, since the military reform, its combat effectiveness has not increased by a little bit.

After Lejian led the army south, several Zhao cities in the north of Langmeng did not lose much of the main force of the Yan army.

Most of the cities took the initiative to surrender when they saw the Yan army coming. One or two cities that were unwilling to surrender, Lejian sent a few partial divisions, and they were successfully conquered.

Husband war, courage also.

The Yan army that came to the city of Wolf Meng was in high morale at this time, and Le Jian already knew that his cousin Le Cheng's army did not send troops to reinforce the city. In order to prevent long nights and dreams, Rakuma immediately made the decision to attack Wolf Mengcheng.

"General, the gates of Wolf Meng City have opened." Rong Yan shouted loudly beside the music room.

Lejian was stunned for a moment, and then overjoyed.

Pointing to the wolf Meng Cheng in front of him, he ordered: "Stop throwing stones and rush into the city for me." ”

Suddenly, the phalanx of the Yan army under the city made a "killing" sound, and many Yan troops rushed towards the gate.

As for the deception and ambush, Yan Jun never thought about it, in the face of absolute strength, these did not exist.

In less than half an hour, smoke billowed from many parts of the city.

"I wanted to be able to fight a good battle, but I didn't expect the defenders to be cowardly and open the city gates."

General Rong Yan spat a mouthful of spit, rode on the war horse, and said very dissatisfied.

Lema was in front, his mouth opened, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

At this time, Le Jian and the generals of the Yan army all knew that it was Xu Kai's deputy general, Wang She, and opened the city gate.

Rong Yan's deputy general, Fang Hai, behind him, after hearing this, really wanted to cover his face and say to Rong Yan, "I don't know you." "When people open the gates of the city, you will offend a lot of people if you say that, you know?

Seeing this guy, and about to say something more, Fang Hai hurriedly stepped forward and came to his side.

Anxiously said to Rong Yan: "Okay, don't say it again." ”

Rong Yan was stunned, looked up at the main general Lejian, and found that his face was very ugly.

Dare not say anything more.

The general of the Yan army stepped forward and said to the king of Changguo:

"General, this city has been broken, and Jinyang County will no longer be in danger of stopping my army."

Rakuma nodded, turned his head and commanded:

"Come, report to the king and the court, and say that our army has conquered Wolf Mengcheng."

In Jinyang City, in the study of Lecheng's residence.

Looking at the news that had just been passed back in his hand, Lecheng's face couldn't help but change.

After a long time, he muttered to himself in a low voice: "Wolf Mengcheng has been conquered so quickly, cousin, it is really time for you and me to personally lead the army to meet each other." It's impossible for my brother to lose his words, and it's impossible to retreat. ”

In this era, one house is thirty miles of land.

Lejian and Lecheng, this pair of cousins, both studied under the general Le Yi.

The relationship between the two is not generally good.

When I was young, one day when the two were laughing and playing together, Lema once asked Lecheng:

"Cousin, do you think the two of us will lead the army to fight on the battlefield one day?"

At that time, Le Cheng laughed and said, "How is it possible? But if there really is a day, the brotherhood will follow the example of Jin Wengong and lead the army to retreat from your cousin. ”

Unexpectedly, the joke of this pair of cousins at that time became a prophecy at the moment.

Lecheng always paid attention to the movements of the main force of the Yan army, but he never expected that the Yan army would be so fierce. It was discovered that the Yan army sent troops from Daijun, and in just a few days, many cities in the north of Jinyang were conquered by the Yan army.

Especially the wolf Mengcheng, he was actually killed by the Yan army in one day, and the guard Xu Kai was killed.

From Wolf Mengcheng to Jinyang City, it is the richest Jinyang Basin in the land of the Three Jin Dynasty. Although he had a premonition, after receiving the information, Lecheng was still surprised.

I have been in Jinyang for three years, and there are 50,000 defenders in Jinyang. After learning that the Yan army attacked the county, Lecheng had already begun to fully mobilize in Jinyang County, and at this time there were 50,000 young and strong men, a total of 100,000.

An army of 100,000 is already a lot. But compared to Yan Jun, it is still not enough to see.

The more Le Cheng thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and he lifted his spirits and said to the captain of the reprimand who came to report the news:

"But there is a detailed battle report of the Yan army's attack on my city, and I will give it to the general in detail."

"General, this ......" The captain who came to report the news looked embarrassed.

Seeing this captain with such an expression on his face, Le Cheng came to his senses. Generally speaking, such a major military situation is reported quickly, and then the detailed battle report is returned, and I am a little at a loss.

Thinking of this, Le Cheng's face showed a hint of exhaustion.

waved his hand at this reprimanding lieutenant and said:

"I don't blame you for this, you go down first and report the detailed battle report as soon as possible."

"No." The repulsor captain bowed down and agreed, and withdrew.

The deputy general Hu Hui on the side of the study was silent, and he didn't know what to say about this message at this time.

"General, judging from the last general, the Yan army is menacing this time, and he will want to go down to my Jinyang. At this critical moment, if we want to hold Jinyang, we must get rid of internal troubles in advance. ”

After pondering for a while, the deputy general Hu Yi broke the silence and said to Lecheng.

"General Hu Hui, do you mean the Wang clan and other wealthy clans in the city?" Lecheng asked.

"General, exactly." Hu Hui clenched his fists and bowed to speak.

Lecheng frowned and pondered.

During this period of time, Lecheng began to collect grain, grass, soldiers, etc., in order to guard Jinyang City, but it was not very smooth.

Whether it is Jinyang City or other counties, they have been subject to a lot of restrictions.

Lecheng is not a fool, and knows that there must be someone behind it.

After sending someone to investigate, it was found that the people behind this were all local gentry represented by the Jinyang Wang family.

That's going to be a tough one! It made Lecheng feel at a loss to start.

You must know that the Wang family and other local gentry, not to mention that they have deep roots in Jinyang, but in the entire Zhao court, the relationship is even more complicated, and their influence and background are very large.

If you dare to move these wealthy families in Jinyang, you will finally defeat the Yan army, not to mention that your own life will not be guaranteed, I am afraid that it will also affect your family, this is not a joke, nor is it a joke.

Neither he nor his deputy general Hu Hui are natives of Jinyang. If you want to hold Jinyang, you can't offend these local wealthy families, and you must also get their support. But, for now, is this possible?
