Chapter 339: The Battle of Yidu to Defend the City

Wu Yuexuan stood up and said, "I hope you will do what you say, the Great Zhou Army will be coming soon, and I will leave first." ”

walked to the door and turned around, "You tell your aunt that if you still want to leave Yidu alive, don't rely on your identity to criticize the Liaodong Army, and you are the same." ”

After speaking, he strode away without looking back, leaving only Taishi Wu still sitting there, looking at the back of his son leaving with red eyes.

At the gate of Yidu City, Ji Ruhuan and they were ready to fight, but the Great Zhou army did not attack them, but camped twenty miles outside the city and settled down temporarily.

This made Ji Ruhuan and the others almost certain that this wave of Great Zhou troops was definitely not the group of Great Zhou troops chasing them, and it was obvious that they were waiting for the two groups of people to converge before attacking them.

After Guo Cheng saw Wu Yuexuan and Ji Chengmu again, he completely made up his mind that he would never be at the mercy of the Queen Mother and Wu Taishi again, and would definitely lead an army of 100,000 in Liaodong to resist the invasion of the Great Zhou.

In this way, there are almost 140,000 people in this Yidu, and the disparity between the strength of the Great Zhou is not too big.

Of course, the people in Yidu City are quite enthusiastic about these Ming soldiers, and now in this situation, there are so many Ming soldiers stationed in Yidu, which is also a guarantee for the safety of their Yidu.

Therefore, when the Liaodong Army came, the people of Yidu spontaneously cleaned up the houses around the city gate and left them to the officers and soldiers of the Liaodong Army.

Seeing that the Great Zhou army did not plan to attack for the time being, Guo Cheng arranged a room for several people to rest near the city gate.

This night was uneventful, and the Great Zhou army did not launch an attack on Yidu.

As for Wu Taishi and the Queen Mother in Yidu, I don't know if Wu Yuexuan's warning played a role, and they really stayed in Yidu quietly, and did not come out to point fingers at the Liaodong Army and Ji Ruhuan.

The next day, Ji Ruhuan was woken up by the sound of a horn and cleaned it up haphazardly, and the sky turned over a trace of fish belly white.

After staying in the city tower, the Liaodong Army was already ready to meet the battle under the command of Guo Cheng.

Seeing Ji Ruhuan coming up, Guo Cheng said, "The enemy army of the Great Zhou is at least 200,000, and they have come to the gate of our Yidu City. ”

Ji Ruhuan looked at Ji Chengmu on the side, "Second brother, our people ......"

Ji Cheng Mu responded, "Don't worry, I have already arranged it, as for those people of yours, they are not formally trained Ming soldiers, and I am afraid they don't know much about defending the city, let them see it first, and then make a mobile support team." ”

Ji Ruhuan also nodded in agreement, looking at the few Feng Manlou who came up to the city tower with a sleepy face, Ji Ruhuan beckoned them to come over, and ordered, "You divide people into small teams of five hundred people, and mobile support, that is, you will go wherever you are needed." ”

Wind and thunder They really don't know anything about fighting, and they can listen to Ji Ruhuan's orders, of course they won't have any opinions, a few people should go, and they went to gather the team to assign tasks.

The winter sun rose in the increasingly dense drums, illuminating the earth, and the dense Great Zhou army outside the gate of Yidu City also clearly entered their field of vision.

Everyone tensed their nerves with the increasingly dense drums, waiting to welcome the Great Zhou army into the palace.

Ji Ruhuan held a silver whip in his hand, standing on the city tower with his second brother, golden bells, small golden flowers, autumn frost and winter snow, all of them were also wearing silver armor, protecting Ji Ruhuan's side.

The long horn sound of the enemy army kicked off the prelude to the battle, and first the dense rain of arrows overwhelmingly pressed towards the city tower, but in the end, because of the distance and the terrain, the power was not too great.

On the contrary, on the tower of the city, Guo Cheng gave an order, and the same arrow rain went down, causing chaos and commotion in the vanguard of the Great Zhou.

However, the rain of arrows in the Great Zhou was just a cover, and the siege vanguard of the Great Zhou had already rushed to the city gate under the cover of the rain of arrows.

Of course, the Liaodong Army, which had been prepared for a long time, would not let the other party attack its city gate all the time, and let the cloud ladder be placed on its own city wall.

The fire oil on the city tower was poured directly on the door breaker and the door breaker, and then the fire went down, forcing it back, and the same fire oil boulder on the city tower went down, and all kinds of desperate wails sounded in an instant.

Such a scene, even if it is not the first time to face it, even if there are enemy troops downstairs in the city, it makes Ji Ruhuan frown.

The Great Zhou wave of attacks ended, because it was a siege, the Great Zhou suffered relatively heavy losses, and the losses of the defenders were relatively small.

But no one let their guard down, because almost everyone who has been on the battlefield knows that the first wave of attacks is just a temptation, and that there will be more fierce attacks to follow.

The offensive lasted for most of the day, and both sides suffered damage, but it was clear that Da Zhou, as the besieging party, suffered relatively heavy losses.

Of course, Yidu, which had been prepared for a long time, was not so easy to be breached, and it was still an impregnable defense, which also increased the confidence of the soldiers to hold Yidu.

In the evening, Da Zhou retreated, and for the besieging side, there was no advantage in night fighting.

The soldiers of Yidu also seized the time to rest and prepare for the next tough battle.

In the evening, everyone gathered to eat, and Feng Changzhi couldn't help but feel, "Hey, you said this person, it's a good day, but why start a war, so many people died on the battlefield like that." ”

They are all people who have seen the cruelty of war, but war is inevitable, and no one can easily change the situation, and they all remain silent, not knowing how to respond.

Feng Yun said innocently, "If there is only one emperor in Zhongzhou, there is no need to compete with each other for food and territory, so there is no need to fight?"

Wu Yuexuan stretched out his hand and patted Fengyun's shoulder, "Young man, the idea is good, but it's too naΓ―ve, in the seven kingdoms of Zhongzhou, I'm afraid everyone wants to be the emperor, who is willing to compromise?"

Fengyun obediently closed his mouth.

Ji Ruhuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he answered, "If there is a person who can promise peace to the people of the world and can get the support of the people of the world, why can't it?"

Ji Chengmu stretched out his hand and flicked Ji Ruhuan's forehead, "Promise peace to the world?" ”

Fortunately, Yidu is a relatively wealthy capital, and Wu Taishi has been prepared for a long time, but he is ready to take Yidu as his base camp, and has hoarded a lot of materials and grain, so they don't have to worry about supplies, grain and grass for the time being.

I don't know if Wu Yuexuan's warning played a role, or because of the current situation, Wu Taishi really didn't point fingers at the Liaodong Army anymore, nor did he embarrass Ji Chengmu for them, but would send people to send them grain and grass materials to give them support.
