Chapter 578: The Battle of the Sun
Wei County, Fanyang City!
This is already the main battlefield of Li Yang and Xuanyuan Honglie, and it can also be regarded as the only battlefield.
Fanyang Chengjian, this is what Li Yang has learned a long time ago.
Therefore, Li Yang knew that if he blindly attacked the city, he might suffer heavy casualties, and there was no guarantee that he would be able to take the fortified city in front of him.
After all, there are nearly a million Xuanyuan troops and several generals in Fanyang City.
Because of this, Li Yang has always implemented the strategy of besieging but not attacking.
Of course, this just means that no people were sent up to attack, and the few Red Refining Chariots placed in front of the formation, as long as the ammunition is sufficient, are attacking Fanyang City day and night.
However, it is not so easy to manufacture ammunition for the Red Refining Chariot, which also leads to a large gap in the attack of the Red Chariot.
In addition, the defenders in the city are also constantly strengthening and repairing the city walls, so the damage to Fanyang City is not as great as imagined.
Looking at Fanyang's tall city wall from afar, Li Yang couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
This battle has been fought for more than a year and a half, and it has been fought for too long.
In this battle, not only Li Yang Jiucheng's troops were mobilized, but also a large number of people were mobilized in Qingzhou and Yanzhou.
As a result, it has also led to a significant decline in the output of grain in Qingzhou and Yanzhou.
For this reason, Chen Gong and Liu Jian have written more than once, stating that if they continue to employ people at such a high intensity next year, the food and grass of all the army will no longer be able to be supplied.
When the time comes, he won't win the battle and defeat himself, which Li Yang definitely doesn't want to see.
Moreover, there is a big problem, now most of the territory of Merge Prefecture and Jizhou has fallen into the hands of Li Yang.
Since he has become their lord, he must also pay attention to their food and grass supply.
The people in these two territories have also experienced more than a year of war, and most of their farming has been abandoned for a long time, and there is not much surplus grain left in their hands, let alone Changshan County.
Changshan County has experienced the repeated baptism of Zhang Hua's Yellow Turban Army, not to mention the surplus grain, and the warm things and farming tools at home are completely gone.
To this end, Li Yang also specially sent people to transport a large number of farm tools and grain and grass to restore the people's feelings in Changshan County.
The words are a bit far-fetched, in short, we must end this battle as soon as possible, otherwise even with Li Yang's current strength, I am afraid that it will not be able to hold on.
"Ovary, seeing that there has been no movement in the city for months, what should we do? Can it only be attacked? ”
Li Yang couldn't sit still a little and asked Zhang Liang, who was standing behind him.
"Big brother, Liang speculates that the grain and grass in Fanyang City may not be able to supply a million army for a month."
Li Yang touched it, "What the second brother means is that they will make a move within this month." ”
"That's right!"
"Okay, let the whole army prepare, this battle, it's time to end." Li Yang's face finally showed joy, "Zilong, remember, if the enemy rushes out of the city, you will bite Xuanyuan Honglie to death for me, no matter what else, just kill Xuanyuan Honglie." ”
"No!"
A few months ago, Zhao Yun was summoned back to the camp outside Fanyang City by Li Yang, with the purpose of dealing with the generals in the city and killing Xuanyuan Honglie.
To be honest, although Li Yang didn't show it about Sima Wenliang before, he was still quite angry.
That time, he could be said to have missed the best opportunity to kill Xuanyuan Honglie.
Although he followed Zhang Liang's advice and let Xuanyuan Honglie return, the main purpose was to intensify the contradiction between Sima Wenliang and Xuanyuan Honglie, so as to cause civil strife in the city, so that they could easily attack it.
Who knows, Zhang Liang also fell for Sima Wenliang's deception, he actually pretended to betray Xuanyuan Honglie, and made dangerous moves, so that Li Yang let go safely, and even protected Xuanyuan Honglie to return to Fanyang City.
To say that this Xuanyuan Honglie is also generous, he doesn't even hold grudges when he is like this, so Li Yang also admits this planting.
But this anger in Li Yang's heart has not been eliminated, since he can no longer make peace with Xuanyuan Honglie, he must get rid of the future troubles forever.
"That's right!" Li Yang suddenly thought of something and asked Zhang Liang, "Did you find the one surnamed Zhou?" ”
Zhang Liang naturally knew what Li Yang was asking, but in the face of Li Yang's gaze, he shook his head helplessly.
Li Yang's face was gloomy again.
It was the conspiracy and betrayal of Yu Zhongwei and Zhou Jie that caused Yi Guozhong to die of illness, although more than a year and a half has passed, Li Yang learned through letters that Yi Xue still has a sad face and is very sad.
Whether it is for Yi Xue, or for Yi Guozhong, who is like his own life, Zhou Jie and the others must die.
Yu Zhongwei was captured by Yi Hui in the offensive and defensive battle of Zhongyao, and after being brought back to Tianyun, Yu Yi Guozhong was killed by Yi Hui in front of the grave of Yi Guozhong, but now he is still missing Zhou Jie.
"Big brother, this Zhou Jie, I'm afraid it's very likely to be in this Fanyang City."
Because Sima Wenliang was there, Sima Wenliang knew that Li Yang had a powerful intelligence organization, so he purged the city dozens of times, although it would not clean up all the people in Moyilou, but the remaining people could not transport intelligence outside the city.
Therefore, Li Yang and the others knew very little about the information in the city.
"Distribute Zhou Jie's portrait to all soldiers in each battalion, but if you see it, try to capture it alive, and if you can't guarantee that you will be captured alive, you will be killed on the spot. Whether they were captured alive or killed, they were seriously injured. ”
After Zhang Liang heard this, he looked at Li Yang with some surprise in his eyes, but then nodded and left, and went down to make arrangements.
Li Yang's attention to Zhou Jie obviously exceeds that of Xuanyuan Honglie, which is also the reason why Zhang Liang was surprised.
After all, if the entire army is asked to pay attention to one person, it will obviously affect the performance of the army's combat power.
However, Li Yang regarded Yi Guozhong, who was like his own father, and died because of Zhou Jie, so Zhang Liang also understood Li Yang's strong hatred, so he didn't say anything to persuade him.
Zhang Liang not only has to order Zhou Jie's problem, but also has the problem of defensive layout.
Although it was speculation, Zhang Liangliang was still relatively sure that the enemy would definitely carry out a breakthrough operation within a month.
In this case, it is necessary to take all necessary measures.
This countermeasure is not only to strengthen the defense, but also to accurately judge which direction the enemy is going to break through.
After all, there are millions of enemies, if you choose the wrong position and let Xuanyuan Honglie and them run away, it will not be good, although it will not lead to more than a year of combat in vain, but it will create a trouble for the later stage.
What's more, among the enemies, there is a Sima Wenliang with excellent intelligence and strategy.
…………
As Zhang Liang guessed, the grain and grass materials in Fanyang City were indeed not enough to support Xuanyuan Honglie's troops for too long.
The daily consumption of millions of soldiers is like a bottomless pit.
Countless grains and grass supplies that had originally gathered other counties were decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye every day.
Fortunately, they evacuated the people from Fanyang City earlier, otherwise you will not distribute the people's food and grass materials.
Looking at the dozens of huge grain and grass warehouses, there were already bottoms left, and Sima Wenliang and Xuanyuan Honglie had to be anxious.
The daily gathering and meeting has been going on for a whole month.
The meeting was full of arguing, but no outcome was ever reached.
In fact, everyone knows that the evacuation is their best ending, but no one can think of where to evacuate.
After all, the current Jizhou is no longer the original Jizhou of Xuanyuan Honglie.
