Chapter 693: Attacking Xiangguo
Pu Hong naturally did not really belong to the Great Jin Dynasty, and after he was attached to the Jin Kingdom, he did not receive reasonable preferential treatment, but was angry everywhere, especially the scholars and officials of the Great Jin Dynasty, who were extremely contemptuous of barbarians like Pu Hong, and made things difficult from time to time, and were treated so unfairly, Pu Hong naturally wanted to leave the Great Jin Dynasty for a long time, but the world is so big, but there is no suitable place for them.
"The heirloom jade seal is indeed the treasure of the world, but there are many people who covet this treasure! Moreover, if we go to seize the jade seal of the country, it will be a complete break with the Great Jin, after we get the jade seal of the country, where should we go to settle down? Pu Hong said worriedly.
Hearing this, Pu Jian thought for a moment, hugged his fists and said: "Father don't worry, although there are many people who covet this heirloom jade seal, but not everyone dares to fight this idea, at least, Huan Wen and Yin Hao will not move this idea, and as long as these two people do not mix, the rest of these rabble, except for Yao Xiang's command still has a certain strength, the rest of the people and horses do not have the strength to compete with our army, our army should have great confidence in seizing the jade seal of the country, as for the capture of the jade seal, our army can leave here immediately and go to Qinzhou's hometown, If you can't do it, go to the Western Regions, secretly develop your strength, and after your strength is strong enough, you can unify the world with the jade seal of the country as a certificate. ”
"Father, what the third brother said is right, we must seize the jade seal of the country, and the child has long wanted to be here, and he will be angry with Yin Hao's birdman." The fourth son, Puxiong, echoed.
Seeing that his two sons were desperately asking to seize the jade seal of the country, Pu Hong finally felt a little moved. He pondered for a moment and said: "You don't have to be anxious, how to seize the jade seal of the country still needs to be considered in the long run, and you must not act rashly, so as not to put our army in danger." ”
"Yes, father, what are your arrangements?" Pu Jian hurriedly asked.
Pu Hong thought for a moment, and said, "First, send scouts to closely monitor every move of the Wei State Mission and determine the route of the Wei State Mission. Second. Send people to closely monitor the every move of Yao Xiang's army. If there is an abnormality, report it immediately. ”
"Father. We should be spying on the Wei legation, but why should we be spying on every move of the Yao Xiang legion? What does this have to do with our seizure of the heirloom jade seal. The fourth son, Puxiong, didn't understand his father's intentions, and hurriedly asked.
Pu Hong smiled and said softly: "The jade seal of the country is the most precious treasure in the world. We want to get it. That Yao Xiang is only afraid that he is more eager to get it than we are. Therefore, as a father, it is almost certain that Yao Xiang will definitely pass on the idea of the national jade seal. To this end, we must closely monitor Yao Xiang's every move in order to take the lead. ”
When Pu Xiong heard this, Fang admired his father's high opinion, paused, and said softly: "Father, the soldiers and horses under Yao Xiang are seventy percent of our army, and the strength is below our army, even if he wants to seize the jade seal of the country, he does not have the strength, and the jade seal of the country must belong to us in the end." ”
Pu Hong smiled and nodded, "Let Yao Xiang compete with those juniors first!" Our army is behind the yellow finches, and in the end, the fishermen will definitely benefit. ”
In fact, Pu Hong knew very well in his heart that on the way to Jiankang City by the Wei mission, there would definitely be many people who would fight the idea of passing on the jade seal of the country, and the strength of these people together was still relatively strong, so Pu Hong would not take the lead in making the move, but let these people strike first, and when they lost the battle, he would lead the main force under his command to suddenly rush out, and finally seize the jade seal of the country.

Two days later, in the direction of Chaoge City, the 20,000 main forces and 20,000 reserve troops under Chen Poyu and Chen Xiaohu finally arrived outside the city and set up a large camp outside the city.
When Hua An heard that 40,000 reinforcements had arrived, he was very happy and immediately went out of the city to greet him.
"General, our brothers and horses are ordered to arrive." Chen Poyu clenched his fists and said.
Hua An nodded, and said, "Okay, you have finally arrived, and now the general will have enough strength to block the main cavalry of the Yan Army from going south." ”
"General, when will the battle begin, our people are already impatient." Chen Xuanhu shouted for his life.
Hua An patted Chen Zhanhu on the shoulder, laughed and said, "What's the hurry, the main force of the Yan army is still fighting outside Xiangguo City?" Our army only needs to go to Yecheng immediately, go, and return to the city with Ben General. After speaking, he strode towards the song city.
After entering the Chaoge City, Hua An made a detailed introduction to Chen Poyu and Chen Zhanhu in the big tent of the Chinese army, and explained his plan to the two.
After listening to Hua'an's introduction, the two understood the unpredictable and complex shapes in Hebei, and said that they would completely obey Hua'an's orders.
After a day's rest, Hua An led his 30,000 main forces and 40,000 reserve regiments, a total of 70,000 horses, to march in the direction of Yecheng, and at the same time, ordered the Deng Qiang army that had arrived in Lin Xicheng to be on guard carefully, pay close attention to the battle in the direction of Xiangguo, and report to himself immediately if there was a situation.
####
In the direction of Xiangguo City, the 70,000 troops under the command of Murong Ke have been fully prepared to attack the city after three consecutive days of preparation, in addition, the 50,000 cavalry reinforced from the rear, and the 10,000 troops responsible for escorting Ran Min have entered the camp one after another, so that the main cavalry under Murong Ke has reached 130,000 people, forming a great advantage over the Wei defenders defending Xiangguo City, and it is only a matter of time before Xiangguo City is breached.
"Fourth brother, after three days of preparation, the siege equipment built by our army is enough to capture Xiangguo City, in addition, the reinforcements have arrived, and the total strength of our army has reached 130,000 people, at this time, it should be the best time to capture Xiangguo City." Murong Ba shouted for his life.
"General, give the order!" The generals of the Yan Army asked for their orders together.
Murong Ke nodded and ordered: "The whole army and horses will be dispatched immediately, and within two days, Xiangguo City must be captured." ”
"Yes, General." The generals of the Yan Army received the order and immediately went to prepare.
Soon, the main cavalry of the Yan army of 130,000 was ready, and only waiting for Murong Ke to give an order, he could launch a fierce attack on Xiangguo City.
"Fourth brother, the whole army is ready and ready to go." Murong Ba walked into the big tent of the Chinese army and reminded loudly.
Murong Ke nodded, got up and left the big tent of the Chinese army, stepped on the war horse, and ordered loudly: "Soldiers, go." After speaking, he rode his horse in the direction of Xiangguo City.
Under the personal leadership of Murong Ke, the main cavalry of the Yan army of 130,000 slaughtered towards Xiangguo City.
In Xiangguo City, the 5,000 army of Wei is also ready to fight to the death, although they know that they are not the opponent of the 130,000 main cavalry of the Yan army, however, with the city wall to hold, they still have a little confidence, besides, Jiang Gan has promised them that reinforcements will arrive in five days, and now three days have passed, that is, they only need to hold on for two days, and the reinforcements from the direction of Yecheng will arrive in Xiangguo City, so as to help them break the siege, which makes them full of confidence in victory.
Murong Ke led the main army under his command to arrive at the city of Xiangguo, and saw that the soldiers of the Wei army were ready to defend to the death, and couldn't help but sigh greatly, in the case of such a disparity in strength, the soldiers of the Wei army still held on to the city, which shows that the morale of the soldiers of the Wei State was not fatally affected by the capture of Ran Min. This is also enough to show that this team is well-trained and has a strong sense of purpose.
However, no matter how good this army is, in Murong Ke's heart, they will soon disappear, because, no matter how good this army is, it is impossible to resist the siege of the main army of 130,000 under his command, and it is only a matter of time before Xiangguo City is captured by himself.
"Fourth brother, the whole army is ready to attack the city." After the siege of Xiangguo City was completed, Murong Ba reminded softly.
Murong Ke nodded slightly, and ordered: "All the troops and horses, immediately attack the city." ”
"The general has an order, all the troops and horses, immediately attack the city." The herald roared and conveyed the order.
Soon, the flag of the Chinese Army Division was waved and the order to attack was conveyed to the whole army.
As soon as the "Woo Woo Woo ......" flag stopped, the deafening sound of the horn sounded again.
"Killing ......" Encouraged by the sound of the horn, the main force of the Yan army of 130,000 soldiers and horses launched a fierce attack on Xiangguo City.
Due to three consecutive days of active preparations, the army under the command of Murong Ke has an extremely large number of capture equipment, thunderbolts, ladders, giant shields, siege vehicles, it can be said that there are a lot of them, and there is no shortage of them.
Only two hours later, under the attack of a large number of thunderbolts of the Yan army, nearly three-thirds of the defensive equipment carefully arranged by the Wei army was smashed, especially the curtain hanging outside the city wall, which was almost completely destroyed, and many of the soldiers defending on the city wall were also killed and injured.
However, the Yan army also paid a great price, and more than 1,000 elite soldiers of the Yan army were beheaded by the Wei soldiers defending the city and lost their lives.
On the whole, in the first wave of attacks, the losses of Yan and Wei were almost the same, however, the Wei army had fewer troops, while the Yan army had 130,000 people, so it was considered a victory for the Yan army.
"Fourth brother, I really didn't see that the soldiers of the Wei State are still so strong, and our army has actually lost more than a thousand soldiers." After the first wave of attacks was over, Murong Ba said in surprise.
Murong Ke nodded and said softly, "Yes!" It seems that Ran Min was captured alive, which did not affect the morale of the Wei army, but our army far outnumbered the Wei army, and it was more than enough to capture Xiangguo City within two days. ”
"Fourth brother, in the next wave of attacks, I will personally lead the troops into battle, and I will definitely be able to break through Xiangguo City in one fell swoop." Murong Ba shouted for his life. (To be continued......)
