Chapter 196: Decision-making

More than a dozen return cars were pushed up to the city, and under the order of the team, the winch creaked up, reaching a very steep angle, pushing the groove and pulling the bucket, filling in the boulder.

There is a hundred household chiefs, shouting and ordering: "The maximum winding charge"!

Twenty soldiers pushed the wheels with all their might, stretching the thirty string arms one by one, to the maximum range.

"Shoot!" With an order, more than a dozen planes returned to the car and were released together, only to see the boulder roaring through the air, and the time paused violently, and then I saw the city "booming" and dusty.

Cang Manglong's body was shocked, and he could barely stand, and there was a commotion in front of and behind him.

"King, the enemy army is now concentrating on this giant catapult to attack a little, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand it for a long time!" Someone stepped forward and said anxiously.

The reckless dragon was especially unaware, but looked down.

I saw that under the county town, there were densely packed with banners and banners, and a team of well-armored soldiers were sorting out the giant trebuchet outside a stone's throw away.

Not far away are the tinkling of repairing and assembling utensils by craftsmen accompanying the army.

The barracks behind it, for several miles, stood still, except for the occasional neighing of war horses, but it was quiet, and there was a bit of an unfathomable taste.

The red flags were continuous, and the army was blatantly immovable, but from time to time there were well-armored cavalry squads, who rode to the front of the city, and flew with bows to create a miserable cry behind the battlements, laughing and scolding loudly, arousing a round of applause.

"This fang is proficient in the art of war!" The reckless dragon muttered, his face pale.

Standing in front of the tent, looking at the slightly hazy city in the distance, Yang Qi's face sneered.

"My lord." Someone outside the tent spoke.

Yang Qi heard that it was Zhang Yan's voice and said, "Here, what are you doing outside?" Come on in! ”

"Yes, my lord." The tent door was picked up, and the burly Zhang Yan walked in from the outside, in fact, even if he didn't come, there would be a task handed over to him, if you ask to see him now......

Yang Qi's eyes flashed and asked, "Do you have something to say to Lone?" ”

"My lord, the minister is here to ask you for war." Zhang Yan said in a deep voice in front of Yang Qi: "Although the minister is not a general, this charge and battle, he can still fight with others, the minister is not afraid of death, please give the lord an order, let the minister go to attack the city!" ”

"Fight?" Nodding somewhat understandingly, Yang Qi smiled slightly: "Do you think that the siege is too slow?" ”

"My lord, the minister thinks so, now the boulder is bombarding, but the vicissitudes are driving the people to repair it, this comes and goes, delaying time, it is better to attack the city with a large army, and fight with both hands." Zhang Yan said.

This is clearly an order, but it is actually a suggestion.

Yang Qi attaches great importance to Zhang Yan, he has the potential to become a first-rate general, such a general, Yang Qi has never been treated badly.

Yang Qi shook his head and smiled, and said: "Siege of the city, Lone has his own arrangements, you have been following Lone, for you, Lone will not ignore it, the siege of the city is not sent to you to do, because there are more important tasks to be handed over to you." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yan saluted: "Respect the marquis's decree." ”

"He Bei's troops are extremely fast, they have already broken through Luoya City, quelled the rebel army, and rushed straight to the vicissitudes, I ordered you to lead your headquarters to Fuyuan Mountain and intercept the enemy army for five days."

The army is most afraid of doing nothing, this small group of cavalry gallops to show off its might, which seems meaningless, but it can very motivate morale and resolve depression.

What I said just now was even more terrifying, the attack on it lasted for ten days, and each city wall was damaged differently, and at this time, one attack was concentrated on another, and I watched the city wall continue to crack.

On the high city tower, although there were actually not many casualties in Hanzhong City, the uneasiness in his heart did not decrease at all, and he could only be beaten for more than ten days, but could not attack, and his morale had dropped a lot.

Everyone knows the truth that a lonely city is difficult to defend, but can He Bei's army come in time?

Cang Manglong is not a pedantic person, and it is not clear whether He Bei has different intentions in this situation.

For the Donghu State, the strategic position of Canglan is very important, and it controls the north and south borders. Even if He Bei is full of ambition, he has to come, but he really doesn't know if he can catch up in time.

"Boom", the boulder continued to attack, and with a series of loud noises, a large patch of sand and gravel on a city wall, although it did not fall, it was scarred like a seriously wounded warrior.

Outside the pillow army, the 100,000 troops cheered together, deafening, and in a moment, the order to withdraw the army sounded.

An army of 1,000 elite horsemen stepped forward, and the left and right phalanxes stepped forward, and the military formation that returned to the car was orderly under the cover, and slowly retreated to the camp.

At this time, the fireworks of the camp, the evening sunset shone, the twilight was dim, and the remnant sun was like blood, covering everything on the ground in a bloody light.

Seeing this, Yang Qi returned to his main tent, and the soldiers behind him followed Yang Qi in the same footsteps.

Yang Qi returned to the inner tent and removed his armor, when the army attacked during the day, even Yang Qi had to wear a gold armor, but he was too sweaty.

At this time, he washed and washed, removed his armor, changed into a robe, but did not wear a crown, and was accompanied by his own soldiers, looking very casual, walking a few steps, and met Tai Yuanyi coming in.

Yang Qi looked up and down: "It's all hard work, military and political affairs are busy, the Qing family should pay attention to rest." ”

Tai Yuanyi listened and kowtowed in thanks.

Tai Yuanyi got up and said: "The king treats us kindly, if we dare not die, we will also pay attention to rest, please don't worry about our body." ”

Yang Qi smiled, took the golden crown to put it on, and coughed, and suddenly the atmosphere in the tent was different.

Yang Qi didn't take a seat immediately, took out two folds from the case, handed them to Tai Yuanyi, and said, "Take a look, about He Bei, it's not long, you look at it first." ”

After speaking, he took his seat and drank tea refreshed.

After a while, Yang Qi looked outside and said, "What is the matter of He Bei - Tai Yuanyi, you can talk about it." ”

"Yes, I think it's not difficult."

"First of all, although this Canglan City is thick, after ten days of non-stop bombardment, it has already been scarred, and if it is bombarded intensively, it will be broken in three days."

"Secondly, according to the information sent for the second time, He Bei broke Luoya City, the loss was not small, there were 7,000 people, He Bei is now in the headquarters, but 20,000, he is tired from a long battle, he dares to come over is Li Lingzhi!"

When Tai Yuanyi said this, he cut gold and cut iron, and everyone was solemnly moved.

There was silence in the tent, and only the sound of the wind outside the tent was heard.

"But how can he prepare these 20,000 people, they are all elite soldiers, soldiers of Donghu, and soldiers of a hundred battles." Tai Yuanyi frowned and said: "They have been used in many major battles, especially there are 5,000 elephant soldiers, this is really terrifying, if it is a big war, although our army wins, the loss is not small." ”

Speaking of the five thousand cavalry, it did make Yang Qi frown, after listening to Tai Yuanyi's words, he looked up at the tent slightly, muttered for a moment, and said: "The elephant soldiers are not easy to fight!" ”

After a sigh, after a moment, he said, "Say, what should we do?" ”

Tai Yuanyi bowed down and said: "The king slowed down the fight against Canglan in order to test He Bei's intentions, and now that it has come out, the king must break the Canglan in one fell swoop, so that he can fight a decisive battle under Canglan City and defeat He Bei in one fell swoop." ”

"According to the minister, it is the key to defeat the vicissitudes, and now the king can send a vanguard to block the attack a little, and when the canglan is calm, it is not too late to bring troops to the city."

Now, there are 10,000 soldiers in Canglan, if He Bei comes quickly, it has not been completely pacified, but Yang Qi is being attacked inside and outside, although this possibility is very small, and it should not be careless.

"That's right, then use Zhang Yan's Yingce Ride and let him lead his headquarters to block the attack." Yang Qi nodded and said, making this decision.

There was no word all night, and in the early morning, the man with the black chess flag asked to see him again.

"Ask him to enter the account." Yang Qi listened to the rumbling in the distance and said calmly.

A moment later, the hundred households of the black chess banner walked into the tent.

"Where is He Beijun at this time? How far is it from the vicissitudes of life? Yang Qi asked.

"Lord, He Beijun is still two hundred miles away from here."

"Two hundred miles?" Yang Qi stood up, paced a few steps in place, turned around and said: "Continue to pay attention to the situation of He Beijun, pay attention at any time, report it every two hours, this is related to the deployment of this battle, it is not a trivial matter, you should pay more and more attention." ”

"Yes!" The hundred households of the black chess banner hurriedly bowed down.
