Chapter 180: Attacking Yancheng

A few days after Ye Huaiwu's death, Mo Fei has been thinking about who will escort Ye Xiaotian to Chang'an, but after thinking about it, he has not found a suitable candidate. [Full text reading. The leaders of Yancheng were the most suitable candidates, but now that Yancheng is in danger, these leaders are indispensable. And not to mention the ability of the soldiers under their hands for the time being, it is difficult to reassure people in terms of loyalty.

After hesitating for a few days, seeing that the Qin army had regrouped and was ready to attack Yancheng, he had no choice but to select Wu Qi and others from the special forces to escort Ye Xiaotian back to Chang'an.

Ye Huaiwu died, Yuncheng was lost, and he didn't know the emperor's intentions for the time being, so for the sake of all measures, he asked Wu Qi and others to take Ye Xiaotian to bypass Bazhou City and go straight to Chang'an. When Wu Qi and the others left Yancheng, they handed them a secret letter and asked them to take it back to Chang'an and hand it over to Li Yanqi.

This letter is the last letter for help sent by Mo Fei to the Tang Emperor in Chang'an, although it has a certain persecution, it is the best way at the moment. If the emperor still does not send troops to help in this situation, he will have to face the scene of the fish dying and the net broken.

This attack on Yuncheng not only took the most important city in the sixteen counties of Yanyun, but also killed General Ye Huaiwu. The soldiers of the Qin army, who were afraid of Yancheng because of the thunder before, after this victory. That fear is long gone.

The day after Wu Qi and the others left, the horn of the Qin army to attack Yancheng was finally sounded, and after this period of time to attack Mingcheng and Yuncheng, the Qin army's strength had already consumed more than one million. However, emaciated camels are bigger than horses. Even if the Qin army only had four million left, it was still much more than the 300,000 soldiers under Mo Fei's command.

Probably out of fear of Mo Fei, Qin Fufeng did not throw all four million troops on the battlefield at the first time. Instead, the city was besieged with an army of two million, and the other two million troops were held in the rear in case of emergency.

Two million troops besieged the city, and in the face of the Qin army, which was dozens of times its own, there was no other way but to make the archers constantly shoot arrows and throw stones when the Qin army was attacking the city, blocking the attack of the Qin army.

However, Yancheng is isolated, and the resources in the city are indispensable things, so in order to save these resources to defend the city, people have built a lot of wolf's tooth paddles, Zhuge crossbows, trebuchets and other equipment, the use of these instruments has greatly improved the Tang army's ability to defend the city.

As a result, the two sides fell into a stalemate. However, there was no shortage of capable people and good men in the Qin army, and they soon found the defects in the equipment built by Mo Fei to defend the city. For example, the Zhuge crossbow consumes a large amount of bows and arrows and cannot be used easily, although the wolf tooth slap is used to defend the city, but this equipment is too cumbersome for the soldiers to use for a long time. The trebuchet has a certain attack range, and the soldiers in the blind zone and the soldiers outside the range cannot reach it.

In view of the drawbacks of these city-defending equipment, Qin Fufeng quickly formulated various methods, and after selecting some of his elite soldiers to train for a few days, the damage caused by those equipment was greatly reduced.

However, dozens of days have passed, which greatly exceeds Qin Fufeng's previous estimated time. In order to take Yancheng as soon as possible, Qin Fufeng dispatched 500,000 soldiers guarding the base camp and threw them into the camp of attacking Yancheng.

The 500,000 soldiers joined, which made the defense of Yancheng feel pressure, and finally after half a month of siege, some people in the Qin army were able to climb the city of Yancheng with the help of cloud ladders.

Subsequently, more and more warriors climbed the city. However, after these people climbed the city, they had to face the strangulation of the Tang army, which was as powerful as a tiger.

Xu Dahai led 5,000 special forces to guard the city all day long, and these special forces were superior to ordinary soldiers in terms of their ability to fight alone. So whenever a Qin army came up to the wall, they would immediately be knocked down, and then with a wave of the sword in their hands, those Qin troops died inexplicably.

After a few days, Qin Fufeng realized the difficulty of Yancheng, and he had to face the situation of running out of bows and arrows.

That night, Mo Fei came out of the warehouse and walked quickly towards the barracks, behind him, Yaya, Yu Wuqi, Zhang Zhao and others followed, chattering: "General, if it goes on like this, we are afraid that we will not be able to stop several rounds of attacks by the Qin army." What now? ”

Mo Fei entered the barracks, and the commanders came over and asked eagerly, "General, what should we do?" ”

Now the soldiers up and down Yancheng have put all their last reliance on Mo Fei's body, although they know that they have no chance of winning in the face of the Qin army. But as long as I think that Mo Fei is their commander, there is a confidence in my heart for no reason.

Mo Fei looked at the power distribution map drawn on the screen with a frown at this time, Xu Dahai muttered: "Otherwise, let's brew more alcohol." ”

Zhang Tian glanced at this old man on the side, and said with a smile: "The previous tactic of attacking with fire has been cracked by the Qin army, and now it is still going to attack with fire?" ”

As soon as Zhang Tian said this, Xu Dahai stumbled for a moment, and said unconvinced: "Isn't there still a catapult!" First hit the shields of the turtle sons with a catapult, and then set them on fire. ”

Xu Dahai didn't feel that what he was talking about was a ploy at all, but because he was choked by Zhang Tian, he said it nonsense. After finishing speaking, he found that the commanders around him were all staring at him, Xu Dahai thought that he had said something wrong, scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I'm talking nonsense!" Hey! You say, "I'll shut up!" ”

"That's a good ploy!"

"Gah?"

"Hmmm! Yes, the catapult plus the fire can deal with those shields, but ...... The catapult is too cumbersome, and our army is now short of bows and arrows, how can this mouth be supplemented? ”

"Yes, this bow and arrow is not to mention the troublesome manufacturing process, it is this material...... It's not a straw arrow, how can it be said that it is made. ”

When Yang Wulang said this, Mo Fei suddenly raised his head and said, "What did you say?" ”

Yang Wulang was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know why Mo Fei asked this, but seeing Mo Fei's rare calmness, he thought he had said the wrong thing, and stammered: "I...... I say, bows and arrows make trouble. ”

"What do you say?"

"Do...... Do what? Did I say anything? Yang Wulang muttered to himself, and then the person next to him reminded: "You said to make grass arrows." ”

"O'...... Grass arrows. Yang Wulang suddenly repeated.

Mo Fei's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Grass arrows, grass arrows, grass boats borrow arrows, I have a way." ”

When the commanders heard this, they were overjoyed and said in a loud voice: "General, what should I do?" ”

Mo Fei glanced at the map and muttered: "The Three Kingdoms have a fire to burn Chibi, and the grass boat borrows arrows, today, I also want to borrow your Daqin's sharp arrows." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the commanders in the room. (To be continued.) )
