Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info* Break the stalemate between the two armies in various theaters of operations.

Dingzhou army is known for its fast advance speed, the army led by the mountain wind by two main cavalry battalions, and Hailing battalion and Rui Jianrui are also equipped with a large number of mules and horses to travel, is to enter Qingzhou as soon as it enters Changhua, and along the way to Tacheng, Pinglu two county towns of Luoyang defenders abandoned the lost arm, concentrated all their strength to Changhua, as long as Changhua is taken, the defenders of these two places will surrender without a fight.

At the end of August, the Yizhou camp and the Feiling camp entered Changhua.

In September, Hailing and Ruijian arrived in Changhua, and the banner of the Chinese army was erected ten miles away from Changhua City.

The cavalry battalion was used to intercept the reinforcements that the enemy might arrive, and the two battalions of Hailing and Ruijian, who were good at fighting hard ambushes, attacked the city and pulled out the village.

On the fifth day of the first month of September, the mountain wind took the Hailing camp as the vanguard and instigated the siege of Changhua.

Nearly 200 trebuchets carried by the army were erected like a dense forest, and between the eight-ox crossbows or among them, Mengchong vehicles, siege vehicles, and ladders were innumerable, and Xiong Dewu, the commander of the Hailing battalion, excitedly gave the order to start the attack.

The tactics of the Dingzhou army were generally the same as those of the Dingzhou army in the past, first bombarding indiscriminately with powerful long-range weapons to suppress the morale of the enemy to a minimum, and then attacking with soldiers.

Above the tower of Changhua City. A group of generals flocked to a scribe in a green robe, if they saw each other in the mountain wind, they would be surprised, this person turned out to be Yuan Fang, an important minister of Luoyang.

Yuan Fang looked at the banner of the Chinese army passing through the mountain wind, and said with a smile: "Shang Shoufu is extremely accurate, the mountain wind is really coming, he thought that Changhua was a soft-footed shrimp, but he never thought that this would make him lose a big tooth." ＂

The surrounding generals all laughed, "There is Yuan Gong here." Naturally, the thief will suffer a heavy blow. ＂

Yuan Fang shook his head: "A certain family is here, but I am not here to command you to fight, Bingge, you are experts, but I am just watching from the side, General Wanli, this battle can be entrusted to you." ＂

The veteran who was called a member of Wanli by Yuan Fang hugged his fists and said: "Yuan Gongyan is serious, this battle is suitable for us, and the imperial court does not have high requirements for us, but we just want us to stick to the mountain wind." If he can't get in, he can't retreat, if we can't complete this task, then what face do we have to go out to meet people? ＂

"General Wan Lao is right. Nearly 50,000 heavy soldiers were gathered in Changhua City, and Yuan Gong brought long-range weapons and so many craftsmen no less than the Dingzhou army, so that the wind could cross the mountain and feather the city. It wasn't a difficult task. ＂

Yuan Fang smiled and hugged his fists and said, "In this way, I will ask for it." ＂

In the city of Changhua, there are about 10,000 new troops from the capital dominated by Wanli, and the rest of the armies are from Pingzhou and Suzhou.

"In this battle, the enemy of the mountain wind actually does not refer to us, but also to God! Wan Li pointed to the sky, "Don't look at the sun right now." In mid-September, it will enter the traditional rainy season, Qingzhou is already wide and horizontal, and there are many rivers, as soon as it enters the rainy season. Hehe, the Changhua area will be cut into small pieces of unformed areas by these seemingly inconspicuous small rivers and ditches, which will greatly restrict the Dingzhou Iron Rider under the command of the mountain wind. Muddy roads make it even more difficult for them to resupply their logistics. The winds over the mountains would soon discover that his mistake had led his army into the abyss. Wan Li said.

"It won't be long. There will be little or no supplies from Qinzhou. Yuan Fang smiled and said: "General Qu Yongjie has come to Xingzhou in person and commanded the counterattack against Qinzhou together with General Zhou Tong. As for the Xiaoai River defense, the 40,000 troops in Guan Xinglong's hands will lose their heads. The mountain wind wants Qingzhou, but we want Qinzhou, Quanzhou, and Yizhou! ＂

"This battle of the imperial court has been painstaking, planning for a long time, in order not to attract the attention of the other party, it took two years just to mobilize the military strength, in order to seduce the mountain wind, in Qingzhou we took great pains, hitched the lives of countless soldiers, and even the Youyan area fell into their hands, and they had to pretend to be deaf and dumb, so, this battle, we must win, and we must win. Yuan Fang waved his hand and slashed violently.

"Li Qing now seems to have the upper hand in all theaters, and we are at a disadvantage everywhere, but as long as this battle is successful, the form will be reversed, at least, we can be equal to it. ＂

"Yuan Gong, after we win this battle, if Dingzhou Yang Yidao's department really goes out of the valley and goes straight to the heart of Luoyang, how will we deal with it? Now that most of the newly formed army has been transferred to the Xingqin Theater, Xiang Pinghouye's command may cover the Yang Department? If Luoyang has three longs and two shorts, even if we win a big victory here, what's the use? ＂

Yuan Fang sneered: "As soon as you get out of the slope valley, it is a flat terrain, and nearly 5,000 ironclad cavalry have been transferred to Ping's command. This was personally told by His Majesty the Emperor to Ping Houye. What's more, there are palace guards in Luoyang City, the Imperial Forest Army, and nearly 200,000 horses in the left and right camps, even if the Dingzhou Army hits Luoyang, what about it, Luoyang City has been surrendered for thousands of years, and it has never been broken from the outside, and this time it is the same. ＂

This is the strategy of the stalemate between the left and the right formulated by Shang Shoufu, and the strategy of advancing in every situation. Yuan Fang said excitedly.

With a whew, a stone bullet fell on the city wall with the sound of the wind, with a loud bang, it fell to destruction, stone chips flew, and the surrounding soldiers rushed up, each raising a huge shield to protect a group of big people.

"Duke Yuan, please go back to the city to rest, it's up to us here. Wan Li persuaded.

Yuan Fang laughed, "Although General Wan commanded the battle, I went to the city tower to drink tea and watch the battle, and these methods still can't hurt me." ＂

Wan Li smiled knowingly, Yuan Fang's martial arts are so high that they are rare in the world, but I am afraid that the generals here together are not his opponents, and there is no need to worry about his safety.

"In this case, the last general will not accompany Yuan Gong. ＂

Yuan Fang waved his hand and turned around and walked away.

Wan Li turned around and ordered loudly: "Trebuchets in the city, prepare to fight back, target, the opponent's trebuchet group." Hahaha, over the mountain wind, do you think Lao Tzu can't beat you? ＂

Looking back at the two generals around him, he said: "When the enemy army began to attack the city, the two of you led the cavalry out of the city to fight back, and the Dingzhou cavalry was still guerrilla on the periphery, which was a good time for us to impact the opponent's infantry, but we need to pay attention to it when attacking, the opponent's Hailing battalion, experienced in foot resistance, took advantage of their formation to scatter and attack the city quickly, once the opponent gathered the formation, immediately withdrew to the city." ＂

"The last will obey! ＂

At the beginning of the year, the master craftsman of the capital completed the imitation of the Dingzhou trebuchet, realized the standardization of components, and greatly increased the range, but for this battle, it has been highly secret, and the long-range trebuchet made by the branch was secretly sent to the Xingqing Theater, presumably next, it will surprise the Dingzhou army.

"Launch! With an order, the remote trebuchets hidden in various parts of the city let out a loud roar, and countless stone bullets rose into the air and flew out of the city.

The stone bullet drew an arc and fell into the trebuchet group of the Dingzhou army outside the city, and in the roar, several trebuchets were immediately beaten to pieces, and the huge trebuchet collapsed, crushing the soldiers who operated to the dead and wounded.

Xiong Dewu froze, Huo Ran looked up at the air, and the mountain wind watching the battle from a distance also stood up suddenly, this was the first time he had seen a long-range weapon that could be compared to the Dingzhou long-range trebuchet.

"Suppress the shot and destroy the opponent's trebuchet! Xiong Dewu ordered loudly.

The trebuchet outside the city quickly adjusted its angle and began to suppress and shoot at the place where the stone bullets had just flew, and the stone bullets fluttered in the air, and the dense level made everyone frightened, and many stone bullets actually collided together in the air in a volley.

"Hailing battalion, attack! Xiong Dewu saw that the long-range bombardment was not only cheap, but also suffered a lot of losses, so he immediately gave an order, the opponent's trebuchet was hidden in the city, and it was impossible to aim outside, but the city could be effectively suppressed according to the location of the trebuchet outside the city.

The soldiers of the Hailing battalion shouted, pushing the Meng Chong cart and the siege vehicle, and quickly advanced towards the city wall.

Up and down the city, the eight bull crossbows roared at the same time. Meng rushed the car, the siege vehicle quickly pressed towards the city wall, and the soldiers carried the ladder and rushed up with a shout.

The two gates in front of Changhua suddenly opened, and a cavalry general took the lead and rushed out of the city, and behind him, countless cavalry rushed out with shouts.

Xiong Dewu's reaction was extremely fast, when he saw the city gate open, it was already connected to the order, the dense drums and loud military horns quickly issued his order to the ears of grassroots officers at all levels, in the face of the strong impact of the cavalry on the opposite side, the soldiers of the Hailing battalion quickly pushed the Meng Chong car, and the siege vehicle converged in the middle, and within a short breath, a tight military formation was formed in front of the cavalry, and the soldiers carrying the ladder quickly threw the ladder on their shoulders to the ground, and ran to the military formation, forming another defensive ground, The ladder abandoned on the ground became a natural obstacle to the cavalry.

Seeing the other party's reaction speed, Wan Li was also dumbfounded, "Dingzhou Bingfeng, it is really unparalleled in the world." He muttered. For a while, Xing's optimism has weakened a lot invisibly, and it seems that this battle still has to be fought.

Far away under the city, the mountain wind slowly stood up, there were more defenders in Changhua City than he expected, and the other party actually had a large number of cavalry that could be used to counter the siege army, looking at their military uniforms and equipment, it was actually a new army from the capital, he slowly clenched his fists.
