Chapter 55: Enemy Food

The extremely fast iceship slid from a distance, and the ice-covered giant wood on the iceship slammed into the ice wall with a loud 'bang', and then the iceship continued to crash into it one after another.

"Knock, knock, knock~."

Cracks inevitably appeared in the thick ice wall amid the continuous loud noise, but after a few scoops of water were splashed on it, the cracks were not only quickly repaired, but the ice wall was also thickened.

This is the third day that Yuan Taizuo has come to the outside of the new city.

On the first day of Yuan Taizuo's arrival, he launched several sieges of 20,000 people.

As a result, it came violently, except for throwing more than 10,000 corpses outside the ice wall, it did not play a role.

The next day, Yuan Taizuo focused his attack on the city gate, and after several rounds of attacks, the city gate was broken, but after entering the city, the loss was even greater, 50,000 people went in, and when they came out, there were no 10,000 people.

The reason why Yang Wenhua was able to achieve such a record was that the role of the ice wall was too great, and the ice wall was not only offensive and defensive.

More importantly, it avoids the tragedy of the battlefield for recruits, who only need to hide behind the ice wall and listen to orders, constantly release arrows and poke out spears, so that it is not only safe, but also does not see the scene of blood and flesh flying.

Even if they can know from the screams that the war is fierce, but after all, without an intuitive understanding, they will naturally not cause any psychological problems and collapse.

Even Yang Wenhua could hear some people boasting about how powerful they were on the battlefield while they were eating.

Two days ago, Yuan Taizuo lost more than 20 percent of his horses, and even with the prestige of Yuan Taizuo, the prime minister of Goguryeo, he had to slow down the pace of the attack at this time.

On the third day, Yuan Taizuo used the tactics of hitting the ice wall with the powerful kinetic energy formed by the rapid sliding of the ice road.

In the middle of the city, near the middle city wall, on a high platform ten meters high and ten meters long and wide, Yang Wenhua was wrapped in a thick tiger skin and sat on a wide recliner.

Yang Wenhua stood Zhou Xiwang and Gao Yanshou on the left and right, and there were fifty carefully selected archers behind him.

These fifty archers were prepared by Yang Wenhua for the enemy's elite, anyway, if anyone is not pleasing to the eye, or like a leader of the army, and there are those who perform well on the battlefield, they will all take special care of them and reward him with a few rounds of arrow rain.

The effect is not bad, so Yang Wenhua stepped up the construction of more than a dozen such high platforms by the city wall, and the arrangements were all hunters among the Han people.

Hundreds of archery masters Yang Wenhua can still make it up, after all, Liaodong belongs to the lifestyle of half farming and half hunting.

It's a pity that after the high platform was built, it didn't make much merit, and the other party no longer sent a general to command the siege, and the brave soldiers began to behave mediocrely, and only after the battle did they become more brave again.

Later, during the enemy's siege of the city, even the people who shouted disappeared, and tens of thousands of people in Nima attacked the city, like a sneak attack, but quietly.

Yang Wenhua sat on the high platform and could actually hear the sound of their feet stepping on the snow.

Today, Yuan Taizuo changed his attack method, and the high platform also lost its effect, and became a place for Yang Wenhua to observe the enemy's movements.

It was too cold outside in the Northeast, and the tiger skin on his body was tightened again, Yang Wenhua looked a little bored, and he was a little worried when he saw the iceboat coming again.

"Always let them hit like this, when it's a head, and it can't be bumped into it, you say, isn't it annoying that he is too much?"

Gao Yanshou tugged at the corners of his mouth and looked away, not wanting to answer the question.

When Zhou Xiwang heard this question, he immediately bent down and lowered his head, and said to Yang Wenhua: "Why should the prince worry, we have a strong city to rely on, and there are enough manpower, and the soldiers not only have enough food, but also get enough rest."

On the other hand, the enemy's soldiers not only have to sleep in the ice and snow, but also have not enough food supplies, as long as the time drags on, we will definitely win this battle.

And we have the ice wall of the prince to rely on, plus the prince himself sits here, the new city is absolutely as stable as Mount Tai, the prince is invincible, and we will win this battle. ”

"Well said!"

Yang Wenhua still appreciates people like Zhou Xiwang who have average ability to do things, but are very good at talking, unlike some people, although they are a little better than Zhou Xiwang in all aspects, they are not very good at talking.

Glancing at Gao Yanshou next to him, Yang Wenhua coughed twice and sighed: "Yanshou must study hard!" There are some beautiful things that we can make into a routine. ”

Gao Yanshou suddenly had a happy expression, and wanted to ask Yang Wenhua, how boring are you.

"Your subordinates will do their best, can the prince familiarize his subordinates with it for a while?"

"Whatever you want."

Yang Wenhua was a little unhappy, but he still shifted the topic to business, after all, being obedient can only be the spice of life, and business is the staple food of life.

"Is there any new news from the spies, how much grain has been stored in Yuan Taizuo now, and has the speed of grain transportation in the domestic city slowed down?"

"According to this morning's news, Yuan Taizuo already has enough 300,000 people to eat ten days of stored grain, and now after the number of people has decreased, it has been changed to a catering system, which should be able to eat for about fifteen days.

However, the grain transport fleet has been reduced a little in the inner city, but it is only guaranteed that the amount of grain transported every day is not enough to feed the enemy army for a day. ”

Yang Wenhua lowered his head and analyzed the situation for a while, squinted his eyes and ordered: "Send out the five hundred big-headed ghost army guards, plus two thousand Han people leather armor army, attack the enemy's grain team along the road, and fight until near the domestic city and then come back."

Confirm the grain storage area of Yuan Taizuo again, be sure to figure out all the grain storage places, and let the spies light fireworks at three o'clock tonight to specify the exact location, and the time must be accurate. ”

After speaking, Yang Wenhua handed a low-quality watch to Gao Yanshou.

Gao Yanshou took the inferior watch, and persuaded him with some doubts: "Yuan Taizuo has nothing to do at this time, and now the stalemate is very beneficial to our army, why should the prince take such a risk?" ”

"I'm not in a hurry."

Yang Wenhua moved his gaze to the south, with some helplessness in his tone, "The king of Goguryeo sent 100,000 troops, and according to the calculation of time, it may have passed the Yalu River by now."

Although Brother Wang's side also has ice castles to protect him, there are still many small cities around Liaodong that are empty in defense, and if the king of Goguryeo can't take Liaodong City and attack those small cities, we will also suffer some unnecessary losses.

As long as he can take Wontaejo as soon as possible, the king of Goguryeo will inevitably return to Pyongyang, so that those unnecessary losses can be avoided. ”
