Chapter 91: The Battle of the Siege (Part II)

After two hours of difficult river filling battles of tens of thousands of people, the army of Yuwenshu finally paved a siege road twenty meters wide and more than ten meters long, for which they also paid nearly 5,000 heavy casualties. This is still the case when Yang Xuangan ordered the soldiers defending the city to save bows and arrows, if the offensive of ten thousand arrows at the beginning is maintained until the Yuwenshu army completes the river filling, then at least tens of thousands of lives can be harvested. It's not that Yang Xuangan doesn't want to maintain that kind of blow, because once Yuwenshu's army completes the filling of the river, then the siege battle will begin. It's just that although Hongnong Palace is not short of grain and grass, but the equipment for defending the city is seriously insufficient, although Yang Guangzheng Goryeo transferred most of the equipment, but the most important thing is as a palace with plenty of soldiers and food, if it is equipped with sufficient ordnance, once it rebels, the difficulty of suppression can be imagined. So in order to save the equipment for defending the city, Yang Xuangan had to watch the moat being filled in little by little.

"General, the last general is fortunate to live up to his life and pave a way for the army." Yang Zhiji saw that after completing the task, he replied to Yuwenshu with the order.

"Very good, the county prince has worked hard, go back to the camp to rest, and leave the rest to the father." It turned out that this Yang Zhiji was the son of Yang Jian, the younger brother of Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Quan, the younger brother of Xiangwang Yang Quan, who was brave and strategic, and had heavy troops.

"Then the general wishes the general a victory and an early victory against Yang Xuangan, a traitor!" If you want to say that Yang Xuangan wants to calm down Yang Xuangan's chaos the most, it must be Yang Zhiji, after all, this country belongs to his Yang family, but he has no choice, who let Yuwenshu lead the military, without his order, who dares to go to war without authorization? And although he himself is a royal nobleman, he is only a small Taishou in terms of official position, far inferior to Yuwenshu's Zuowei General, on the title of the prince is the prince of the country, he himself is the county prince, it is not a grade at all, if Yuwen Shu is not favored, it is easy to say, but the current Yuwen family is the absolute first favored courtier's family, and he only does it by looking at people's faces.

"Order, the first echelon begins to attack the city." Yuwenshu finally began to use his army, although he knew that it was impossible to achieve anything in the first wave of siege, but Yuwenshu only wanted that offensive and momentum to boost his morale, and he didn't believe that the soldiers and horses of the counties could have any kind of momentum.

"All the catapults are dispatched, smash me hard, and smash the wall of Hongnong Palace to make a gap for me." With Yu Wenshu's order, ten catapults were launched from behind the camp, and the huge catapults were far from being comparable to the kind of catapults built by Wang Bo's bandit army, which was an authentic domestic product, and the central army could only be equipped with equipment. When the 200,000 troops saw this siege weapon, their morale was immediately boosted, and there were archers who suppressed Yang Xuangan with catapults, so their casualties would be much less, and maybe they could attack the city in one fell swoop.

Of course, some people are not happy, Yang Zhiji's face is very ugly, if Yu Wenshu took out the catapult just now to help suppress the archers, then the casualties of their river reclamation in several counties will be greatly reduced. Yang Zhiji clenched his fists, but the anger in his heart had nowhere to vent, "Yuwenshu must have done it on purpose, he deliberately weakened our strength, no matter what the purpose is, it can't be tolerated, Brother Huang, open your eyes and see, what kind of people do you favor!" ”

"Hold on! Give me the freedom to fight back, watch out for the enemy's stones! "Yang Xuangan is extremely difficult to defend the city, the attack under the city is fierce, and the head is also threatened by flying stones, not to mention how depressed, if there is no threat of catapults, Yang Xuangan dares to be 100% sure, even if Yuwenshu has more than 200,000 troops, he can't capture his 100,000 guarded Hongnong Palace, after all, more than three times the strength can besiege the city, more than five times the siege, and more than ten times will be able to capture a well-defended insistence, of course, the premise of all this is that there is no heavy siege equipment on the attacking side, Now that Yuwenshu has a catapult, everything is difficult to say, no wonder he only focuses on one door.

"King, the situation is very unfavorable to us, do you want the support of the rest of the sects?!" Zhao Huaiyi proposed.

"No need, no matter how many people come, it's useless, no matter how many people there are, they still don't dare to poke their heads out." Yang Xuangan vetoed the proposal.

"Pay attention, don't probe out, just throw the rolling stones and trees against the city wall." Yang Xuangan could only use this method that was not a way to block the enemy's attack on the city.

"Why haven't Fa Xuan and Li Shangshu been there yet?!" Yang Xuangan dodged the blow of a stone and yelled at the guards beside him.

"The county prince and Li Shangshu are under the city and are about to come up." One of the guards replied, "There are so many stones falling from the sky, you let them come up and die."

"Lord Wang, what's the situation?" Li Mi rushed to the city wall, found Yang Xuangan, and hurriedly asked.

"There is no room for optimism, mainly because the threat of catapults is too great, and the soldiers can't probe at all, so they can only be beaten passively." Yang Xuan said helplessly.

"Oh!" Li Mi answered, carefully probed out to take a look, and saw more than a dozen trebuchets on the other side of the moat throwing stones non-stop.

"Lord Wang, they don't have many trebuchets, they should be able to end this round of stone throwing soon, after all, the catapult can't operate for a long time, and when this round of stone throwing is over, it will take a quarter of an hour to no longer throw stones, we have a quarter of an hour to repel the enemy's siege." Li Mi said.

"Oh, well, tell the soldiers to hold on, the enemy's trebuchets are about to stop, and it's time for us to strike back." It was Yang Xuangan who also knew that the trebuchet could not operate for a long time, but the scene was too chaotic, and his heart was anxious, so he didn't find it for a while, and after Li Mi said this, he calmed down again.

"Father, great, you see that Yang Xuangan is pressed and can't raise his head, and our soldiers are about to climb the city wall." Yu Wenshi said excitedly.

"Hey~" How do you know that Yu Wenshu sighed at this time.

"Why does my father sigh, our soldiers are about to attack the city wall, we should be happy, should we command the army to attack the city together." Yu Wenshi and his soldiers were very happy to see that their own soldiers were about to climb the enemy's wall.

"This offensive only ends here, the catapult can't operate for a long time, if it weren't for the long distance, the father will definitely bring more trebuchets, then it is possible to fight down this fortified city, it's a pity~" Yuwen Shu's sigh is not only sighing that he failed to seize the good opportunity, but also sighing that Yuwen Shi and do not know about military affairs, his Yuwen family understands military affairs is gone, although Yuwen Chengji is a Tianbao general, but it is just a name, and he is really on the battlefield to make a judgment, he is sighing for the future of Yuwen's family.

"General, Yuwenshu has begun to attack the city, two or three hundred thousand troops, that scene is quite spectacular." A spy came back and reported the news to Li Jing.

"Finally the fight started, we have been nesting here for a few days, presumably the hearts of the soldiers have long been itchy, so let's go and join in the fun.

"Yang Lang take care, be careful in everything, the sword has no eyes, and the bright moon is waiting for you to come back." Yang Xuan learned that Yuwenshu had begun to attack the city, so he immediately said goodbye to Yin Mingyue.

"I know, when I come back, after calming Yang Xuangan, I will definitely come back and marry the bright moon into the door!" Just got together and was about to separate, Yang Jian really had the urge to ask the beauty not to be the country, but thinking about his previous efforts, he still set out on the journey again, but how long will it take to meet Mingyue this time?
