Chapter 198: The City Falls
Compared with the tense and solemn atmosphere in the Yin Pavilion City, it was peaceful in the Xia army camp outside the city. Liu Yuan went to the big tent of the Chinese army, Wan Qian personally led the horse and fell into the stirrup for Liu Yuan, and the general Wan Qian, who has always been unruly, was still cautious in the face of Liu Yuan, and regarded himself as a slave.
"You are already a lone general, and doing such a thing will damage your commanding majesty!" After dismounting, Liu Yuan said lightly.
"The minister will always be the king's most loyal servant!" Wan Qianjin bowed his head and replied respectfully, after so many years, Wan Qianjin is obviously a lot smarter, and he is becoming more and more able to sit on people, not just a reckless man.
When Liu Yuan heard this, he was noncommittal, and in the depths of his eyes, he seemed to be very satisfied with his performance.
"Lonely Qianfan is far away in Jinyang, focusing on the strategy of Taiyuan, and ignoring the Yanmen war. Wan Qianjin, you give a good report to Lone! Sitting down in the military tent, Liu Yuan asked regardless of the fatigue of his body.
When Wan Qian heard this, he immediately got up, asked people to take the map of Yanmen, hung it on the bracket on the side of the big tent, and gave Liu Yuan a detailed report. Yanmen has a vast area and scattered cities, and in the previous battles, Wan Qijin did not attack a city or a city, focusing on killing and injuring the living force of the Yanmen army.
After Gongsun Zhan's Bai Ma Yi withdrew from the state, Cui Jun decisively led the army to withdraw from Mayi, and the main force of the Yanmen County soldiers was all stationed in the Yin Pavilion City.
Cui Jun knew that the Xia army was strong, and he was by no means the opponent of Wan Qianjian, so he honestly shrank in the city. Wan Qian was not stupid, and did not have the intention of forcibly attacking the city, so he ordered Dugusheng and Da Xiling to lead the army to attack other counties and towns, forcing them to ask for help.
The Yinguan near the Yin Pavilion, Chengcheng, Mayi, and Wang Tao asked for help several times, but the Xia army besieged but did not attack. was forced to be unable to do so, and in order to enhance the confidence of the defenders in the county to defend it, Cui Jun tried to send someone to rescue, but was killed by Wan Qijian, who was cruising on the side. Now Cui Jun is completely honest, and he doesn't dare to go out of the city lightly.
At the time of the autumn harvest, due to the increasing shortage of food in the city, Cui Jun could not bear to forcibly take the surplus grain of the people in the city, and took advantage of the Xia army's "concentrated main force" to besiege the drama and prosperity in the northeast, and sent an army to grab the autumn grain. And Wan Qian sneaked back quietly, suddenly attacked, and hit Cui Jun hard. Not much grain was harvested, but half of the sergeants were killed and wounded, and the grain in Yanmen County was left to the Xia army.
After coming down twice, the defenders of the Yin Pavilion suffered heavy injuries and did not dare to go out of the city at all. Cui Jun Taishou did a good job, he was gracious in the county, the county was besieged, and the rest of the counties took the initiative to support the Yin Pavilion, and they were annihilated by Wan Qian and Xia Qi, and they didn't dare to move lightly.
Now, the Xia army is besieging the city with more than 10,000 cavalry troops, and Cui Jun's soldiers are short of food, and they are sitting in the city and waiting for the day the city is broken.
After listening to Wan Qianjin's story, Liu Yuan looked at Wan Qianjin with a little surprise for a while, and praised: "Wan Qianjin, you are getting better and better in this battle!" ”
"It's all up to the king's teachings!" Wan Qian said with a smile.
"That's it!" After hearing too much sycophancy, Liu Yuan's heart couldn't be shaken, and he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "How many defenders are there in the city?" ”
"Your lord, two thousand remnants!"
"Five attacks on it, since you surround it, you must be very confident in breaking the city!" Liu Yuan blinked twice and looked at Wan Qianjian.
"The siege equipment has been built, and the garrison forces in the city have also been figured out, and the city can be broken after two days of strong attack!" Wan replied a little conservatively, but in a positive tone.
"Good! Pass the order to attack tomorrow ......"
"King!" As soon as Liu Yuan was about to give the battle order, he was interrupted by one person, Cui Lie.
Liu Yuan's eyes flashed, Cui Jun is his son, and when he ordered Cui Lie to come before, he had the intention of subduing Cui Jun, but who expected that it would have no effect, but it made his resistance more determined. A thought flashed in his mind, and he asked, "What is Wei Kaogong's opinion?" ”
"The siege of the city is the bloodiest, and it is inevitable that our army will suffer too many casualties, and the minister is willing to enter the city to persuade the rebel to surrender!" Cui Lie said in a deep voice. If Wan Qian was in charge of the army, Cui Lie would never mention this matter, but Liu Yuan was there in person, and Cui Lie still had some expectations in his heart. After all, it is his own son, even if the relationship is almost severed, he still does not want to see Cui Juncheng destroyed.
Liu Yuan stared at Cui Lie for a while, and thought for a moment: "Wei Kao Gong has this intention, and he will not refuse." You can enter the city to persuade, Cui Jun is talented, if you can surrender, you will reuse it. ”
"King Xie!"
When Cui Lie got Liu Yuan, he immediately withdrew from the tent, and rode to Yinguan City alone without any guards.
"Wan Qi Hibiscus! The three armies were ordered to attack at Shen Shi this evening, and by tomorrow at the latest, they would stand on the Yin Pavilion City! In the tent, Liu Yuan decisively changed the military order and attacked in advance. He came in person to end the Yanmen War as soon as possible.
"No!" Several generals in the tent hurriedly got up and received orders.
……
In the Yanmen Taishou Mansion, Cui Lie and Cui Jun, father and son, sat and stared at each other, which was the first time Cui Jun went down to the city since the siege of the Xia army. Since taking office in Yanmen, the father and son have not seen each other for several years.
After looking at each other for a long time, the tea on the case was already slightly cold, and seeing the old father's face, Cui Jun finally said loudly: "Ah Weng is in good health?" ”
Without the "evil words" on the previous battle array, Cui Lie looked at his most outstanding son, guarding the dangerous city, still calmly, with "righteousness" on his face, and the words of persuasion came into his mouth, but he didn't know how to say it. Sighing, Fang said: "The old man is fine!" ”
After a while, Cui Jun looked at Cui Lie and smiled faintly: "Words of persuasion, Ah Weng doesn't need to say it!" He blocked Cui Lie, who was about to speak, back.
"Zhou Ping, the Xia army is prosperous, and the lonely city of the Yin Pavilion is difficult to defend, do you really want to burn the jade with it?" For a long time, Cui Lie looked at Cui Jun with a little expectation in his eyes.
"The city is in the people, and the city is ruined. Everyone has their own ambitions, so Ah Weng doesn't need to be persuaded! Cui Jun didn't have a trace of emotion between his eyebrows, and still replied lightly.
Cui Lie was excited when he heard this: "Have you ever thought about your father!" Have you ever thought about the inheritance of incense in Cui's lineage? ”
"Cui's still has Ah Weng, and there is a big brother."
"You!" Seeing Cui Zhouping, who was determined to die, Cui Lie was a little speechless.
After being silent for a long time, the sound of killing outside the city suddenly appeared, Cui Lie was immediately startled, and Cui Jun's face also changed.
"My lord! The enemy army is attacking the city! "Just as someone was being called to check, there was a guard at the city gate, and he came to report in a panic.
"Haha!" Cui Jun got up and kowtowed to Cui Lieji's head a few times, and smiled: "I'm afraid it's the Xia army's battle to break the city, and I still have to go to command the resistance." My wife, in the Fuzhong Courtyard, someone will take Ah Weng there, and I hope you will protect one or two. You are the master of the Xia Kingdom, this should be fine! ”
After speaking, Cui Jun gathered all the soldiers in the palace and went to the city tower. Looking at Cui Jun's back, Cui Lie's eyes couldn't help but turn red, he knew that this son, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to keep it, so he took heavy steps and went to the other courtyard under the guidance of the servant.
In the southern city of the Yin Pavilion, the fierce blow of the Xia army, the morale of the city defenders was completely unable to resist, especially Cui Jun, the backbone. When Cui Jun led the army, many Xia soldiers had already boarded the city, and the defenders were constantly forced backwards.
"Kill!" Directly pulling out the sword at his waist, Cui Jun personally rushed forward, launched a wave of counterattack, and stabilized his position. Then in the face of a more ferocious attack by the Xia army, Han Juzi and Yang Chou's two lieutenants also boarded the city to command, and the fierce battle lasted for more than an hour, the defenders were defeated, and the city of Yinguan was broken.
