0667: The Xianbei army that has made no progress
The sun rises and the moon sets, and in the blink of an eye, nearly a month has passed.
Now, another night is coming, the moon is bright in the sky, the stars are dotted, and the sky is drizzling. Although it was already the end of May, it was still very cold after nightfall on the side of Musou Country.
Outside the camp of the Xianbei people in Wuyuan City, more than 100 Xianbei spies lurked in the hidden places outside the Wushuang City. Although they had taken refuge in the shade of trees or other sheltered places, the rain still soaked their clothes. The cold made their faces pale, and their bodies trembled constantly. But their eyes were still staring at the Peerless City in front of them. Even if there is only a little light as far as the eye can see. Because they know that once they miss a situation that they shouldn't miss, then there is only a dead end waiting for them.
In the Xianbei camp, countless Xianbei soldiers who had just finished dinner were resting beside the fire, they were wearing some thin bedding, or they fell asleep early because they were tired, or they whispered to others because they couldn't sleep. Not far away, the already soaked clothes hung on the wooden pole, but I didn't know if they would dry up tomorrow.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, the lights are still bright, and Kebineng has not fallen asleep yet, not because he is planning something, but because he can't sleep at all.
He sat down in front of a table with a sheepskin on which was drawn a map of the situation in the northern part of the state. However, his eyes were not on this sheepskin, but he kept staring at the night outside the tent. In his hand, there was a parchment bag containing mare's milk wine, which was poured into his mouth from time to time.
I don't know how long it took for a figure to appear in his eyes, but it was Nasus. "Leader Kebineng, haven't slept yet?" Nasus asked in a low tone. As he asked, he walked over and sat down, took out a sheepskin bag like Kebineng, and poured it with a large gulp.
"Hehe, it's the same with Shan Yu, the current situation is really hard to sleep......" Seeing Nasus's appearance, Kebineng smiled helplessly.
Hearing this, Nasus was silent, but Kebineng didn't seem to care if he answered, and continued to say in a helpless tone, "It's been almost a month now, but none of the three battlefields have made progress. On Shuofang's side, King Zuoxian's 60,000 troops continued to attack, with countless casualties but failed to capture Woye. On the Yanmen side, the Li army even had more troops than the Suli chieftain, which made the Suli leader not dare to launch an offensive easily. As for the Peerless City...... Hehe, you know it too...... In addition to constantly urging us to take the city as soon as possible, it is to buy drunk ...... in the camp."
Kebineng kept talking, and that look seemed to be just trying to vent the grievances in his heart while he was drinking, and he didn't care whether Nasus listened or not.
I don't know how long it took, but Nasus, who had been silent, finally spoke, "So it seems that it was a mistake to divide the troops in the first place. ”
"Haha~ If you don't divide the troops, you can gather more than 200,000 troops with that step? The left and right Xianwang can send one or two hundred thousand people, all for the sake of the face of the past and Lian Danyu! Kobi laughed maniacally, his tone full of bitterness.
Although he is not without small calculations in his heart, his greatest wish is to take advantage of the time when Li Yi led the army to fall into Chang'an. Even if it is enough to conquer the northern counties such as the Musou Kingdom. Because once this happens, Li Yi's prestige will inevitably be hit by a huge blow, and even his Chang'an battlefield will have some changes because of this.
But now...... Kebi can not see the possibility of success at all, but the picture of returning in vain, appears countless times in his sleep.
"Shan Yu and the left and right kings are calculating and guarding against each other, and even the tribal leaders who are attached to them have their own plans......" Kebineng muttered to himself, "a plate of scattered sand...... What a plate of loose sand! It seems that I am thinking a little too simple. At the end, Kobi sighed again.
At the beginning, Kebineng actually calculated very well, and asked for the holy decree from Ma Teng's side, and used the holy decree and Li Yi's dispatch of troops to attack Chang'an, and instigated Bu Dugen and others to go south to attack Bingzhou. In this way, not only will the chances of revenge be greatly increased, but he will also be able to take the opportunity to expand his fame.
Hearing this, Nasus was silent, although he had many things to say in his heart, but now, he couldn't say a word. Even, he didn't even mention the most frequent mention of plotting against the Hu people in the city as the orthodox heir. Because Nasus, though not very smart, is not stupid either. In today's situation, even if Furrow is resurrected, how many people will follow? If there really were such warriors who were not afraid of death, it would be impossible for them to surrender to Li Yi's obscenity.
Kobineng and Nasus were drinking, but Budugen was also losing his temper. "Bastard! Are they really planning to disobey my orders?! One by one, they all want to preserve their strength, could it be that more than 200,000 troops went south and merged with the state, just to see the scenery?! ”
Budugen roared in the tent, and on the side, a group of silent tribal leaders. At this moment, they didn't know what to say.
But it's no wonder that Budugen is so angry, because in the past nearly a month, he has urged Kebineng, Fu Luohan, and Su Li several times, but what is the result? They can always find a whole bunch of reasons why they can't take a city.
There were even times when Fu Luohan and Su Li didn't bother to explain, on the one hand, because they didn't deal with Budu at all, and on the other hand, it was really that the city in front of them didn't have much to do.
Fertile City.
"Rubbish! It's all rubbish! Fu Luohan scolded in the tent, his expression was hideous, and his eyes were full of murderous intent. All those who met his gaze couldn't help but bow their heads.
Seeing this, the anger in Fu Luo Han's heart became even stronger, "Why don't you speak?!" Don't you all think of yourselves as powerful warriors on the steppe?! Don't they all take the Han people seriously?! But now? Our army is six times more powerful than the enemy! As a result, as soon as it came up, three warriors who were one of the hundred were broken, and then thousands of warriors were killed and wounded, but they couldn't even attack the city wall?! ”
"King Zuoxian...... The enemy still has 30,000 troops on the side of Linjung...... And the enemy has a high ......" A general cautiously looked at Fu Luo Han and defended, but before he finished speaking, in Fu Luo Han's terrifying gaze that repeatedly wanted to eat people, he swallowed back all the words that reached his throat.
"Although I don't care about the order of the step, and I don't care about what results can be achieved in this attack on the state, but! Of the three fronts, we are facing the weakest enemy! There are even only 10,000 people in this city! If I can't take it, what will the other leaders think of me?! Fu Luo Han looked around at the crowd and roared angrily. Give me a good idea! You have to come up with a way to break the city! Otherwise, you will take your own guards to attack the city! ”
After saying that, Fu Luohan ignored the crowd, but took out a sheepskin bag and poured a large gulp. His chest was heaving, and it was clear that the anger had not subsided.
Seeing this, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, so they had to think hard and meditate. It's just that if it was so easy to come up with a way to break through the fertile field, it wouldn't be like this now.
Strictly speaking, however, this situation does not mean that these people are too incompetent, because the reason why they are not good at attacking cities is only because of the environment. The vast majority of Xianbei people will experience some wars from birth to death. It's just that these wars, whether offensive or defensive, are fought in the vast grassland, so how can they know how to attack cities?
You must know that when they were attacking the city, they were even using the most basic siege ladders instead of ladder trucks, and there were no wells or anything.
While pondering and meditating here, in Fertile City, Min Chun and the three of them were also discussing countermeasures.
"Now our army has suffered thousands of casualties, although the enemy's casualties are even more, but if this continues, I'm afraid it won't be a way." Min Chun said with a worried face.
"Jun Cheng doesn't have to worry, I believe that it won't be long before Wang Fujun will lead his army to support. There was no movement at this time, and I thought I was waiting for the best time. Gundam said in a respectful voice.
"Hmm." Min Chun nodded when he heard this, and then changed the topic, "So what do you think the enemy will use to attack the city next?" ”
"Haha, those Xianbei people are just a bunch of barbarians who only know brute force! What else can they think of other than to storm it? As soon as Min Chun's words fell, Fan Chou couldn't help laughing.
Well, Fan Chou seems to look down on Xianbei people quite a bit. However, although Fan Chou also came into contact with many Qiang people in Liangzhou, because Liangzhou was a mixed Qiang and Han people, not only the Han people were influenced by the Qiang people, but the Qiang people were also influenced by the Han people. At least for siege, the Qiang people are not only no strangers, but also have learned many Han siege methods.
"Captain Fan, don't be careless, that Fu Luohan is the Xianbei Zuoxian King after all, but he is different from the ordinary Xianbei barbarians." Min Chun reminded with a smile when he heard this.
However, Min Chun's reminder was obviously in vain, not that Fan Chou didn't listen, but in the next few days, Fu Luohan's offensive method still did not change, and he still chose to attack. Well...... It can't be said that there has been no change at all, at least the offensive of the Xianbei army has become more ferocious.
Yes, Orohan's men and the leaders had no idea of a way to take the Fertile Field, but Korohan didn't really ask the tribal leaders to go into battle in person. However, these leaders also sent their warriors to lead elite soldiers to storm the city walls.
There is no doubt that their joining instantly changed the tide of the battle, not only boosting the morale of the already very low Xianbei army, but also creating several dangers for the walls of Fertile City.
Siege of the city, elite troops and ordinary soldiers really have a world of difference. It's like now, although these warriors who can be ten can also climb up the ladder, they can kill the city wall many times. Although they were all besieged by Li Jun's soldiers, this was clearly the first step to success.
Of course, taking elite troops to attack the city is not a long-term solution, after all, the cost of losing one person may be higher than the loss of dozens of soldiers. It's like Li Yi, who is still in Chang'an, although he knows that if he sends a trapping camp and a Wushuang battalion to attack the city, it will be easier to attack the city wall. But if it weren't necessary, he would never do it, because it was much more difficult to train an elite of this kind than to train an ordinary soldier.
"We can't go on like this, let's send all the troops up!" Min Chun sent someone to find Gundam and proposed.
"No! These 500 elite horsemen are for the purpose of supporting the king! And although the enemy is attacking fiercely, our army can still resist it! Gundam did not hesitate to reject Min Chun's offer.
Hearing Gundam's answer, Min Chun hesitated for a while, but finally chose to believe it.
Linrong City.
"Oh? Has the offensive finally been stepped up? Wang Ze stroked his beard and groaned, "It seems that Luo Han finally can't sit still." ”
"Hehe, with an army of 60,000 to attack a city with only 10,000 people, after nearly a month, it is still at a disadvantage. Don't say it's a dignified and right-hand king, whoever it is, you will feel dull, right? Li Wei chuckled when he heard this.
"Fu Jun, the last general thinks that it is almost time for our army to be dispatched." Jia Kui said in a deep voice.
"Hmm......" Wang Ze groaned for a while when he heard this, then looked at Jia Kui and Li Dao and asked with some concern, "Are you sure?" ”
"Please rest assured, someone has been sent back and forth several times, and there will definitely be no problems!" Both assured at the same time.
"Good! I will give you two 5,000 troops each, and rush to the fertile field overnight! Wang Ze no longer hesitated when he heard this, and directly opened his mouth and ordered.
"No!"
With Wang Ze's order, Li Dao and Jia Kui led the army to quietly leave Linrong overnight, and entered the desert on both sides of Linrong on both sides. Then, they turned north and headed straight for the fertile field.
Five days later, as it grew dusk, Wono Castle once again withstood the onslaught of Furohan. However, with the onslaught of Fu Luohan, regardless of casualties, the city of Woye has begun to crumble.
In this regard, Fu Luohan is naturally very happy, although the loss is larger, but as long as the city of Woye is captured, then it is not unacceptable. After all, now in Wushuang Country and Yanmen County, Budugen and Su Li still haven't been able to achieve any results.
But at this moment, suddenly a soldier hurried in, but it was a scout sent by Fu Luohan. "King Zuo Xian, something is wrong, the enemy has come from the desert!"
"What?! How can it be?! Why did you get the news now?! Fu Luo Han shouted in horror when he heard the news.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a commotion outside. "Bastard! Everyone, get ready to meet the enemy! Fu Luo Han shouted with a gloomy face, and then strode out.
