Final Chapter. 100. Hua Yu half-moon talk
Edamame tofu entered Shu this time, and it took half a month from beginning to end. And the two main battlefields of Huayu Continent have not produced any substantial changes. Of course, Guo Xing and Chen Ziling did not have a reason to stand still, just because Hedong City in the Sanjin Dynasty of Northern Yan and Fuyu City in Zhongshan in Youbei were not nails that could be easily pulled out.
For the Shenshi Army under the Youbei Buyeo City, it was just an accident. Due to the extremely poor combat quality of the officers and men of the Shenfeng Battalion and the major mistakes in command and decision-making, the army was finally trapped in the urn city inside the west gate of Buyeo. More than 5,000 Huashen cult believers, eight ladders to climb the city, three city-rushing vehicles, and four large trebuchets were all reduced to charcoal in this mistake.
The losses in this battle are not insignificant, but for the Shenshi Army, it is actually not a fatal blow. It is true that the cannon fodder army of the first batch of Shenfeng Battalion has been consumed by now; The rest of the infantry soldiers except for the useless people and auxiliaries, the main force of the soldiers barely maintained at about 10,000, which could only play a role in stabilizing the formation, and was unable to attack the city again; However, with Hulegen's 8,000 rangers controlling the battlefield environment, Buyeo City still can't escape a single soldier, and the situation is still under the control of the Shenshi Army.
Tian Dashan, the senior brother of the Shenfeng Battalion, although he is short-sighted and pursues profits, he is not a mediocre and stupid person. About half a month ago, the siege equipment was burned in the urn city, and it was indeed a catastrophe caused by his deputy, but as the so-called death and debts were eliminated, the culprit had been buried in the urn city, and he couldn't be angry with Guo Xing, the second-way god of wealth!
Fortunately, due to the particularity of the Huashen Sect, the death of 100,000 believers on the battlefield was not enough to break their muscles and bones. As long as the believers of the Huashen Sect pick up the sword and are soldiers who are not afraid of death, they do not need to train for a long time at all, and they will be sent to the front line in a steady stream. That is to say, as long as the later support of Di Ting continues, then the soldiers of the Shenfeng Army will be inexhaustible!
At first, Tian Dashan sent people to Fengjing Branch, intending to recruit a group of local new troops who had recently developed and come to Fuyu City to fight the fire; However, he released three spies one after another, but all of them ended up in an unknown life and death and unknown whereabouts, it seems that something is wrong with Fengjing Xintan, and there is no hope for it.
If one plan fails, Tian Dashan has two plans. He took advantage of the channel of Di Ting to transmit the news, and transferred people to the Jizhou and Zhongzhou sub-altars in Beiyan. The spy who listened to the truth, when he saw that the end of the letter was also stamped with the golden seal of Qilin Jun, he was also happy to be an adult. With a private road bought at a high price, they sent the second batch of logistics materials, along with the 80,000 Huashen believers after the dispersal, to the camp outside Buyeo City in batches.
Since the scale of Huashen Sect's increase in troops this time is not small, there are not a few materials that can be delivered. There is no shortage of grain and grass in the Buyeo camp, so more than eighty percent of this batch of goods are siege equipment produced in the Tianji Workshop. Kirin-kun is really ruthless this time! Ever since he had seen the power of those four catapults with his own eyes, he immediately understood how useful this battlefield weapon could be! Therefore, this time to requisition materials, he has already emptied the bottom of the entire Tiangong Workshop! There are as many as 100 large trebuchets alone!
With such a large amount of material operation, if it weren't for the hitchhike of the Huashen Sect's army increase, it would cost a lot of money in manpower!
On the seventh day of Maotou's faint and fake death, the first batch of fifteen large trebuchets for path-finding had arrived at the camp of Buyeo City under the protection of more than 2,000 new members of the Huashen Army. Guo Xing was also overjoyed when he learned that Qilinjun had made a big move.
Under the reciprocation, this time, he no longer instigated the Shenfeng Battalion to use human lives to attack hard; Instead, he slowly assembled the trebuchet and threw stone bombs into Buyeo City in a way that was both actual and training. Judging by his unhurried demeanor, I am afraid that he will never send any soldiers to attack the city until all the stones around Buyeo Castle have been destroyed.
Guo Xing and Qilin Jun were ruthless, and the great army division of Fuyu City, the harvest of one ear forest, was also not a good stubble! Of course, the plan of "Earth Fire Soul Refining" was originally offered by the goddess shaman sent by He Wendao and the hundred bird Qin Zigui, and he was only a supporting role at best; It is Mr. Lin's clever plan to demolish a large number of Xicheng dwellings and build an earthen wall from the city as an urn city.
The usual way of building the urn city by the ancient soldiers was based on the main city wall and extended and expanded to the outside of the city; But there is a visible difference between the stone city and the earth city; No matter how stupid Huashen Sect and Guo Xing are, they can always distinguish the obvious difference in the material of the city wall with the naked eye!
Therefore, that fire plan was able to win a big victory in the end, although he Lin Fengshou may not be worthy of the first credit, but he also made great efforts!
The first battle and the second two battles were victorious, and the morale of the army was naturally greatly boosted; But seeing that the enemy's siege equipment was burned to the ground, but there was still no intention of retreating, the hearts of the soldiers and civilians of Fuyu City definitely had a clear understanding: this Guo Xing must have a back move.
With this level of mental preparation, after the temporary withdrawal of the two armies, in addition to resting the city walls and gates again, Lin Fengshou put all his energy on leading the young and strong people in the city to build fortifications together.
Of course, this second fortification, which was intensified, was not erected on top of the two walls, but began to dig underground, preventing trebuchets from exposing their tracks on the battlefield.
The war situation has developed to this point, and everyone can see Guo Xing's determination to win Fuyu City; Of course, it also includes Ding Shuo, the general of Taining, and Huang Yumei, the "true governor" of Zhongshan Road.
When edamame tofu was brought home by the kind father-in-law, the fifteen trebuchets that explored the way in advance also carried out the first test firing after assembling under Buyeo City; And for the first time, there was a difference of opinion between the generals of Zhongshan Road.
"Brother Ding, this batch of goods should be the big one, let's close the net now, right?"
Huang Yumei, who has the reputation of "Jincheng Mountain Tiger", closed the accounts in her hand, repeatedly rubbed the deeply sunken inner corners of her eyes, and her tone was tired; And Ding Shuo, who had also lost a lot of weight, also carefully checked the accounts, flipped through the stack of secret reports on the wooden shelf next to him, rubbed his bearded chin vigorously, and made a swishing sound:
"Well...... We deliberately leaked this dark road as a flaw, just to confuse the Shenshi Army, and now we are fishing for fish, which is also in the original plan; But Mrs. Sister-in-law, if we let them go this time, then this route that has been closely monitored will become a familiar road for the Shenshi Army, and there will definitely be greater gains......
"Brother Ding, the principle of casting a long line to catch big fish, your eldest brother Gu also told your sister-in-law. But at present, these two roads are extremely rich in materials, and everything else is an addition, and there are more than 80 trebuchets alone! Let's not look at the small account and look at the big account, this batch of goods is enough! Besides, Lin Fengshou and Xie Tao's two children are still in Fuyu City! If we put this batch of main goods over, Buyeo City will definitely not be able to keep it! ”
After Ding Shuo listened to Huang Yumei's words, he repeatedly groped for the sword of the Son of Heaven on his waist and fell into a long silence. In fact, from the bottom of his heart, he was indeed very worried about those two living treasures, and he was also quite pleased and surprised by their feat of stumbling up the army of divine stones; But Ci is not in charge of the army, and he knows better than anyone else that no matter how he chooses, casualties are an unavoidable problem.
At present, the transportation route chosen by Di Ting is the result of his and Huang Yumei's long-term planning and painstaking management. After they chose the route, they made several turns and slowly infiltrated the way, and finally they were adopted by the Diting merchant group.
Because for Di Ting, how to transport a batch of shady materials out and in is their old business for a living; Even if they only rely on their own ability, it is definitely not difficult to continuously transport material resources to the front line.
If it weren't for Gu Hui and Huang Yumei, who were originally officials in Jincheng, they had formed trust with people in the black market for many years; With the style of Di Ting, who has always believed only in his own people, I am afraid that he will not choose this freight channel opened up by the local predecessors and operated safely for hundreds of years.
Having mastered the enemy's logistical transportation routes, they naturally mastered the excellent fighters for a great victory. However, although the fighter is good, it can only be used once; If one blow can't be fatal, then Guo Xing and the Shenshi Army, who were startled by the snake, will become even more difficult.
Whether it is cost price or strategic value, these eighty trebuchets can already be regarded as a big fish; As Huang Yumei said, this dark line that has been carefully arranged for a long time has achieved such amazing results, and it is in the past anyway!
However, Ding Shuo was not reconciled to that's all!
"Mrs. Sister-in-law, if we just want to see the move, then there is nothing wrong with intercepting this batch of materials at this time; But the foolish brother thinks that although these more than 10,000 Huashen disciples and dozens of catapults are extremely expensive, they are not enough to hurt the enemy, and they are not worth taking this material operation route that we strictly monitor. ”
Hearing this, Huang Yumei pinched her brows vigorously, and retorted helplessly:
"Maybe we can use Buyeo City or even Qingshan City as bait to get greater results; But Guo Xing got this batch of materials, and his self-confidence will become more sufficient, and he will have enough reason and confidence to maintain the current rhythm of using troops, and completely encroach on Zhongshan Road step by step. To put it mildly, at the moment we are still fishermen, but once Buyeo City is destroyed, we will become bait; At all times, Guo Xing and his Shenshi Army brought a great victory, and it was also an uncontrollable result! ”
When the two of them said this, they were both worried; But only Lord Gu Huigu, who has always been silent, said something like that:
"The capital is large, the profit is more, and the loss is more; But if the capital is small, it doesn't necessarily mean that you won't lose money! You women and Taoist families, you have been careful for too long, and you have no blood at all! ”
"Hey, old Gu, you're up to it! Dare to talk to my mother like this? Brother Xian, you go out first, sister-in-law still has some housework to deal with......"
Listening to your words is better than reading ten years. Ding Shuo left the back hall of the mansion and finally put down his right hand that was constantly rubbing the hilt of the sword; And the trebuchets that were enough to plow Buyeo Castle three times also arrived safely under Buyeo Castle five days later......
Until Mao Tofu saw the mountain gate of Zhuhai Sword Pond, the city of Buyeo, with thick walls and strong barriers, had been bombarded with holes after repeated plowing by hundreds of trebuchets for two days......
