Chapter 397: The First Battle Is Blocked

Feng Xinyan couldn't finish crying before she finished speaking, she threw herself into Li Yi's arms, like a helpless child, crying on his shoulder, tears instantly wet Li Yi's clothes.

Li Yi patted Feng Xinyan's weak shoulder sadly, and said gloomily: "Brother Ran is a real hero and a real hero, and I have always been happy to make such a good man." I think that Brother Ran's spirit in the sky doesn't want you to be so sad and sad, if you cry and break your body, it will be even more sorry for him. ”

"What we need to do most now is to let Brother Ran and Old Man Feng, as well as the people killed in Fengming Village, be buried as soon as possible, and the corpse wilderness is also disrespectful to them, what do you think?"

Feng Xinyan silently left Li Yi's shoulder, wiped the tears on her face, glanced at Li Yi gloomily, her eyes dodged, and she nodded lightly: "Everything is in charge of Marshal Lao." ”

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the villagers in the nearby Qiujiazhuang, Xuegoutun and Dujiazhuang also got the news. Qiuhe led the team, leading 100 young and strong men from various villages, and hurried over with buckets, brooms and other fire-fighting things.

Seeing that Li Yi was also here, Qiuhe hurriedly rushed forward to say hello. When he asked about the situation, Autumn River was also embarrassed. Although the two Zhuangzi did not have a big friendship, it was unbelievable that all the men, women and children of the whole village were murdered overnight.

But the problem is also in front of Li Yi, according to our Chinese customs, or to be emotionally acceptable, the more than 100 dead in Fengming Village must be buried in a serious manner, so that the living can feel better psychologically.

To this end, Li Yi arranged for Jiang Hua to be fully responsible for the funeral of Ran Yanchao and others, contacted the nearby Majie Inspection Department and the township chief in charge, hired people to build more than 100 coffins, and asked the villagers here to choose a cemetery for Ran Yanchao and others to be buried.

After nearly a day of busy work, the aftermath of Fengming Village has basically been arranged. Feng Xinyan originally insisted on staying here and re-establishing Fengming Village, but the difficulties she had to face were too great. Feng Xinyan is alone, of course this place can't live anymore.

Under Li Yi's strong persuasion, Feng Xinyan finally gave up this unrealistic idea and agreed to move to the Xuanfu Embassy Mansion in Ningzhou to live temporarily after taking care of everything. This finally made Li Yi put his mind at ease, after all, Ran Yanchao's dying entrustment was to let him take good care of Feng Xinyan, and the deeper meaning was of course understood, but his thoughts, Li Yi and Feng Xinyan were both difficult to accept for the time being.

At this time, news of the war came from the front line, and the siege troops in Yunnan had blocked the northeast of Songyang Pass. As soon as he arrived at the city, he launched a rapid attack, but because the other party had already prepared, after two consecutive rapid attacks, there was still no progress, so in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Jian Zheng had stopped the attack, ordered the army to set up camp, and prepared to launch a full-scale attack again tomorrow with rushing vehicles, rockets, stone throwing vehicles and other equipment.

The first attack was also expected by Li Yi, after all, the defender there Zheng Lian was the most outstanding general of the Great Yi Ning Kingdom, although he was close to fifty years old, but he was experienced in a hundred battles and full of wisdom, and even the scheming Duan Siping respected him, it seems that Songyang Pass is really a difficult bone to gnaw, otherwise Duan Siping would not have reminded Li Yi many times.

The aftermath of Fengmingzhai is also basically arranged, and at the moment of war, it is impossible for Li Yi to stay here for a long time. After instructing Jiang Hua and Feng Xinyan to take some precautions, he arranged for more than a dozen personal soldiers to stay here to assist Jiang Hua, and he took the rest of the people to Songyang Pass overnight.

After coming to the Shuai tent under Songyang Pass, Li Yi immediately summoned Jian Zheng and others to discuss the plan to seize Songyang Pass. According to Jian Zheng's analysis, although the city of Songyang Pass is not large, it is guarded in a dangerous area and controls the necessary road to Shanxian Mansion.

Moreover, in recent years, after Zheng Lian's continuous transformation and reinforcement, the city walls are tall and dangerous, and the horns are connected. If the method of climbing the city by ladder is rashly adopted, it will inevitably cause heavy losses of personnel, and it is not appropriate to take a strong attack under the current circumstances.

Of course, the current Songyang Pass is already an isolated city, and the Shanxian Mansion behind the gate has long been too busy to take care of itself, and it is definitely not capable of supporting here. However, it is also unrealistic to adopt the method of long-term siege, because if you want to surround Songyang Pass, you need to go around from the mountain to the back of Songyang Pass, but the mountain here is treacherous and difficult to climb, which has been proved to be difficult to achieve.

Therefore, the plan for the present time is to cut off the water source that flows into the moat, and use a stone-throwing cart to throw stones to fill the moat into several roads, so that the car can approach the city gate. Then take turns firing rockets into the city, burning down the houses in the opponent's city, distracting the opponent's defenses, and disrupting the enemy's military deployment.

At the same time, the garrison on the city was continuously attacked with bed crossbows and cupola mines, creating opportunities for the rush to approach the city gates. Finally, by rushing the car to open the city gate, or burning and blowing up the city gate, the follow-up troops quickly attacked Songyang Pass.

This siege plan, interlocking and linked step by step, used all kinds of siege equipment, and adopted the most conducive method to reduce human losses, which is the best plan at present, and has also won the unanimous approval of everyone. Of course, the vast majority of people here have not experienced this kind of siege warfare, and the specific effect can only wait for the test of practice.

After a night's rest, before dawn the next day, Jian Zheng sent a team of 100 people, led by a guide, to climb to the nearby mountains to do the work of cutting off the water source in the upper reaches of the moat.

Li Yi came to the pass to carefully observe the terrain here, and found that Songyang Pass was sandwiched between two steep cliffs, and the direction facing the Yunnan siege troops was a gentle slope. If you want to launch an attack on Songyang Pass, you must first continue to climb this gentle slope before you can reach the bottom of Songyang Pass.

Moreover, there is no tree left in front of Songyang Pass, and it is obvious that it was cut down by the other party first, which is also a project that the defender must do, in order to prevent the enemy from using the trees to build ladders, watchtowers, and build camp tents.

At this time, the siege troops under the command of Wei Jing first launched an attack on the city with thunder. As for striking the enemy with thunder instead of a stone-throwing cart first, this was also Li Yi's decision after full consideration. Because after the stone-throwing truck threw stones into the city, it was still unknown whether it could destroy the enemy's living force, but a large number of stones were thrown to the enemy, which was more conducive to the enemy to use these ready-made stones to attack the siege troops in Yunnan, and instead became a source for the enemy. Therefore, until the last moment, the catapult can only be used to fill the moat, and not to give it to the enemy in vain.
