Chapter 1187: Soldiers Coming to the City

Xiahou Yuan took the lead, tightly biting the defeated Funan soldiers, and countless arrows shot at Xiahou Yuan on the city, Xiahou Yuan's big knife was opened, like a piece of silver light, protecting his body, and with horsepower, he rushed into the enemy crowd.

At this time, a thousand Tang troops opened their bows and arrows and fired a fierce shot at the head of the city, suppressing the defenders at the head of the city, and the army behind took advantage of the situation to enter the city.

What fell The city guard heard that Fan Yong was killed by the Tang army's random arrows, and he was terrified. This is the brother of the lord of the country, and he died under the city he defended, and this is too much to do.

The more the defender thinks about it, the more chaotic his heart becomes, how to command the battle again?

In the end, the guard turned his heart sideways, threw his weapon, found a white cloth, tied it with a stick, waved his hands, and ran in front of Yang Ye.

Yang Yezheng was killing up, and when he saw this, he shouted: "What are you doing? ”

The guard general could not understand Chinese, held a white cloth, fluttered and knelt down, and kept kowtowing and bowing.

Yang Ye finally understood, and laughed and said, "Is your turtle son going to surrender?" ”

The guard still didn't understand, but probably guessed the meaning of Yang Ye's question, and couldn't help nodding his head.

Later, Yue Fei rushed over, saw the situation, and asked in Funan dialect: "Do you want to surrender sincerely?" ”

The guard general sighed and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, please give the general an order not to kill us again, we are willing to surrender." ”

Yue Fei said, "Okay, quickly let your army throw away their weapons." ”

Yang Ye looked at Yue Fei in confusion and asked, "When did the general learn to speak Funan?" ”

Yue Fei said with a smile: "As the saying goes, enter its hometown and ask its customs, my army is on an expedition, and the language barrier is a taboo for the march, and as soon as I enter Funan, I will find the indigenous people and learn to speak Funan dialect." ”

Yang Ye cocked his thumb and said with emotion: "The general is the general, it's really awesome, even if you beat me to death, you can't learn this tongue-bending, tooth-sour bird language." ”

Yue Fei said with a smile: "Among the ten thousand armies, take the head of the general, and make the public the best, if you let me do the same, I will never be able to do it." ”

………………

As the defenders took the lead, all the Funan soldiers in the city quickly surrendered.

Yue Fei ordered Xiahou Yuan to lead 5,000 people to take care of it, check the prisoners, there were only more than 6,000 people, Yue Fei comforted him with kind words in Funan dialect, 10,000 troops of the Tang army entered the city, and the rest rested in Dazhai.

Yue Fei called the guard general and asked, "I don't know what the general's name is?" ”

The guard said, "General, my name is Guess Rich. ”

Yue Fei nodded and said, "General Guess Rich, since you are obedient to my Tang Dynasty, you and I will be a family in the future." I don't know how far it is from this place to Funan? ”

Guess Rich replied, "It's about five days away." ”

Yue Fei asked again: "How is the defense of the national capital city?" Does the general know? ”

Guess Ridge thought for a moment and said, "I have been to the capital several times because of my business trip. There are about five people in the national capital, and there are about ...... in the radius In this way, it is more than five times bigger than this what fell into the city. There were 30,000 troops inside and outside the city, 10,000 inside the city and 20,000 outside the city. ”

Yue Fei calculated in his heart that the capital of Funan was equivalent to the size of a county town in the Han Dynasty, and said at the moment: "My army will rest for five days, and then I will leave for the capital of Funan, I don't know if there are fortresses and cities on the way?" ”

Chairich said, "We are Funan...... No, no, they went to the capital fifty miles from the east fifty miles from the capital, and built a castle to guard the road, and had 3,000 soldiers to guard it. ”

After figuring out the defensive strength and distribution of Funan, Yue Fei was ready to continue to march his troops.

Because since the troops came, Yue Fei occupied a lot of places all the way to the city, and for the safety of the rear grain route, he naturally had to leave the guards behind. Coupled with the casualties along the way, after conquering the city of Sen Monolong, the number of troops that Yue Fei could use was only about 30,000.

Yue Fei left a lieutenant to lead a thousand men and horses to garrison the city that had just been captured, and took the rest of the army of about 30,000, plus the men and horses of Chailiqi who had surrendered, and some people of Funan who had been recruited, a total of 40,000 troops went to the capital of Funan.

Coming to the fortress fifty miles east of the capital of Funan, Yue Fei asked about the situation and directly ordered an attack.

There were only 3,000 people in the fortress, and when they saw the opponent's 40,000 troops, they cowered in the fortress and sent people to report to Fan Man.

Yue Fei ordered Huang Zhong to lead the crossbowmen to suppress the enemy troops in the fortress, and then used the bed crossbow to approach the fortress, and blasted open the gate of the fortress in a few strokes, and then under the cover of bows and arrows, two thousand Tang elites broke into the fortress under the leadership of several fierce generals, and soon ended the battle.

Guess Rich's soldiers were stunned when they saw that the Tang army had captured the fortress so quickly, and they were even more firm in their hearts: you can't be wrong to follow the Tang army.

The fortress was built at the key point of the road, and Yue Fei once again left a lieutenant and a thousand men and horses to defend.

After the army passed through the fortress and came to a place thirty miles away from the capital of Funan, Yue Fei chose an open place, set up camp, and did not leave.

Guess Richie and these people didn't have much food to carry, seeing that they were almost eaten, they were in a hurry one by one, Guess Richie came to see Yue Fei and asked, "General, the capital of Funan is close in front of you, why do you stop?" ”

Yue Fei smiled: "Guess General Richie is worried that you can't continue to eat?" ”

Guess Rich's old face turned red, and he said curtly: "...... Be...... Doesn't it say that soldiers are fast? ”

Yue Fei said: "The fortress is surrounded, Fan Man must have gotten the news and made preparations early. The battle of the national capital was a tough battle, and our army had to prepare some siege equipment. As for the diet, the general did not have to pay attention to it, this time the food and grass were well prepared, and the army could have enough food for more than a month. ”

Guess Richie relieved himself and reassured his subordinates.

Seeing that Chailiqi was gone, Yue Fei turned his head and said to the people around him: "Order the soldiers, cut down the trees, and let the craftsmen who accompany the army make siege vehicles and stone throwing vehicles, and there must be no mistakes." ”

………………

Fan Man just knew that Zhu Zhenggu's entire army had been wiped out, and his younger brother's situation had just been known, and the news of the fortress had come again, and the Tang army's attack speed was too fast?

There are only 30,000 troops inside and outside the national capital, how can they compete with the Tang army? The 80,000 army is not anyone's opponent, and the Tang army seems to be less than 30,000, and the difference is too big.

Fan Man scratched his scalp in the palace, going back and forth, thinking about countermeasures.

The population of Funan determined the number of troops, and Fan Man decided to gather young people around the national capital and use crowd tactics to trap the Tang army to death.

At this time, the chamberlain hurriedly came over and said to Fan Man: "King, there is an urgent military situation. ”

Fan Man asked impatiently, "Speak quickly." ”

The chamberlain glanced at Fan Man and said cautiously: "There is news of the Tang Army in the west of the national capital. ”

Fan Man almost sat on the ground and said in disbelief: "Where did the Tang Army come from in the West?" ”

The chamberlain said, "General Chagu said that it seems to be coming from the direction of the country of Pi. ”

"Pyu Country?" Fan Mantou is big, and the population of the country of Bi is not inferior to that of Funan, how could the Tang army come from the country of Pi? "What else did Chagu say?"

The chamberlain said: "General Chagu said that it seems that the Bi Kingdom has recently been destroyed by the Tang Kingdom. ”

Fan Man sat directly on the ground this time, if the country of Bi was finished, the barrier on the west side of Funan would disappear, and the east and west sides would face the attack of the Tang army.

After calming down his mood for a while, Fan Man asked, "How many men and horses are there in the Tang Army in the west?" ”

The chamberlain said: "General Chagu said, there are 20,000. ”

Fan Man quickly measured it in his heart, the capital city was facing 50,000 horses, how to fight this battle?

………………

After Yue Fei's order was delivered, the Tang army mobilized from top to bottom, and it took more than ten days of hard work to build five or six hundred siege vehicles and stone-throwing vehicles.

Looking at the tall and mighty siege equipment, Yue Fei waved his hand and said loudly: "Early tomorrow morning, the soldiers will come to the capital of Funan. ”

………………

Although Xu Huang only had 10,000 troops, because of the weak defense force in the western part of Funan, there was no obstacle to him, and he soon came to the capital of Funan.

As a general who defends the city, it is reasonable to exaggerate, and the so-called concealment is applicable in any country and on any occasion.

Looking at the towering and tall capital of Funan, Xu Huang frowned, and said to several lieutenants: "Set up camp." ”

After the camp was set up, the vulture asked suspiciously: "General, the capital of Funan is in front of you, why is the army stagnating?" ”

Xu Huang looked at a few lieutenants and said, "I don't know where Pengju has been?" We are alone, and if Funan is desperate, 10,000 brothers will be difficult to resist. ”

The vulture said: "It is rumored that the general is unpredictable with soldiers, even when the emperor talks about him, he is also in a tone of admiration, why doesn't the general send someone to contact him?" ”

Xu Huang said with a smile: "If you don't contact it, wait and look at the surrounding terrain, the mountains are continuous, the high forests are dense, I am afraid that the brothers sent out will not be able to contact Pengju, and they have been buried in this reckless mountains." ”

The vulture blushed and said embarrassedly, "The subordinates are not thoughtful. ”

Xu Huang said: "Our army is in the village, just sit and wait for the news of Pengju." If the siege of the city from the east begins, our army will attack the city from the west, making it difficult for the Funan people to take care of the city. In the army, there must be no mistake in the manufacture of siege equipment. ”

………………

Fan Man wanted to transfer all the troops outside the city into the city, but Chagu said: "King, if you let the army outside the city set up in a favorable terrain, and form a horn with the capital to rescue each other. ”

Fan Man asked: "If the Tang army is attacking the city from the east and west, how can the 10,000 defenders resist?" ”

Chagu said: "Because the Tang army is constrained by 20,000 troops outside the city, it will definitely not dare to attack the city with all its might. ”

Fan Man asked again: "If the Tang army breaks through the army outside the city, won't the gains outweigh the losses?" ”

Chagu said: "King, when the whole army enters the city, the capital of the country will be a lonely city. ”

Fan Man said: "General Chagu don't worry, I have sent a messenger to order soldiers and horses from all over the country to come to King Qin. When the time comes, the Tang army will be defeated. ”

Seeing that Fan Man insisted, Chagu didn't dare to say anything more, so he had to give an order to let the garrison outside the city enter the city.
