Chapter 197: Blocking (1)
The topography of Fuyuan Mountain is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only the horseshoe-shaped opening of Fuyuan Mountain leads from this opening.
In addition to this, there are high mountains on three sides.
This checkpoint is steep and has two stone walls, which are guarded according to the mountain and blocked at the entrance, although it is not too difficult, but it is indeed more than enough to resist for three days.
Zhang Yan knew the geography of the art of war, and after listening to the words of the lord, he knew the key when he thought about it, and said immediately: "The lord can rest assured, the supply of the ministers is far easier than that of the enemy, and he will have deep ditches and high bases to keep the enemy out of the pass." ”
Hearing this, Yang Qi was overjoyed and said, "That's the intention, you can lead my military order and set out today." ”
"No!" Zhang Yan kowtowed!
After receiving the military order, Zhang Yan quickly retired and left.
Listening to the rumbling sound in the distance, Yang Qi couldn't sit still in the tent, and stood up and walked out of the tent.
"Lord." The guards on both sides immediately saluted, but were stopped by Yang Qi.
"Go and ask how the siege is going." Yang Qi said.
"Yes, Lord." Someone went to the front to investigate.
After a while, the news was brought back.
Although a fierce attack was launched, the originally strong city walls were repaired, and there were people who repaired them, and they were helpless for a while.
Yang Qi immediately ordered: "Chuan Gu's order, return artillery to attack the city wall, use the door knocking machine, use the return cannon to attack the city wall, if there is a gap, immediately concentrate on bombardment, do not be stingy with stone bullets, do not give the enemy any respite!" ”
"No."
The military order was like a mountain, and the ten return cannons in reserve were pushed forward, placed in front of the city, aimed in the same direction, and with a command, the boulders were thrown one after another, not giving people a chance to breathe at all.
Listening to the rumbling sound in the distance, Yang Qi's side in the camp tent sat down again.
Although the news of the previous attack was unfavorable, although it was suppressed, Yang Qi knew that it had spread to all places.
At that time, if he immediately captured Canglan City, the situation would change greatly, and then He Bei knew that he had captured Canglan and his strength was strong, I am afraid that he might not come.
Now that He Bei has gone out of the army, even if he immediately captures Canglan City, He Bei will think that he has suffered a lot of losses according to common sense, and he will not know the true strength of the army, and he will inevitably be unable to hold it back and rush over!
Yang Qi ordered the attack now.
Of course, it is almost impossible to really surround a city and make it impassable.
Canglan City covers an extremely large area, even if another 100,000 troops want to surround a big city around it, it will not be able to surround it a few times at all.
The so-called siege of a city is nothing more than the enclosing of the gates of a city.
Others can send up to patrol with soldiers.
At this time, it was the time of siege, and it was a time of great chaos, and it was rare for people to go out to ask for help, jumping down from the city wall and breaking out of the siege.
Yang Qi surrounded Canglan City, not worried that someone would break through and ask for help, but worried that no one would go out for help.
"It's just, I don't know how long Canglan City can last?" Yang Qi muttered to himself with a slight mockery.
Just as Yang Qi expected, in Canglan City, as early as the beginning of the onslaught of the army, the hearts of the people were already floating, and there were constantly wounded soldiers, carried down from the city wall, and where they were bombarded by boulders, there were even more corpses.
Cang Mang Long stood at the city wall, frowning, listening to the rumbling outside, looking at the continuous army below, the army camp was built rigorously, and the surrounding trees, firewood and grass had already been cut down, one was for construction, and the other was to prevent the enemy from attacking or approaching in concealment.
Cang Manglong stood on the high ground at this time and looked down, no longer looking calm two months ago, and the new wrinkles on his forehead almost became the shape of "Chuan".
The Great Elder came up from below, saw the figure of the reckless dragon at a glance, and hurriedly walked over to salute: "King, I heard that you are looking for me?" ”
"Great Elder, if Canglan City continues like this, I'm afraid it won't be able to hold it, and now the city walls are cracked in many places, and if it bombards for another five days, I'm afraid that it will collapse in many places, and I won't be able to resist anymore." Cang Manglong paced with a gloomy face, and the Great Elder was surprised, due to the secrecy of the military situation, the information on military affairs could not reach his ears.
I knew that Yang Qi's army outside the city was attacking the city very fiercely, but I didn't know that the matter would be so serious.
"My lord, why do you say these discouraged words! Canglan City is besieged here, how can he sit idly by? Hold on for a few more days, and He Beijun will definitely come to help! The Great Elder said.
Cang Mang Long nodded, thinking a little in his heart, what the Great Elder said was also what he hoped for.
I thought that the walls of Canglan City were thick, as long as the door was closed, and the food in the city was extremely abundant, and then Yang Qi's 100,000 army would be dragged for a month or two, and there would be nothing here, and Yang Qi's 100,000 army would definitely not be able to drag it.
I don't want to return the cannon this time, but it is so powerful that the strong city and thick walls are also crumbling.
The empire is a vast land, but Donghu is much poorer here, and the reckless dragon is ambitious, taking advantage of the chaos of the empire to occupy the rich Yanchuan County, and the empire has no time to look south to quell the chaos.
At that time, Canglong will inevitably be recognized by the Empire, and even if it can't fully control Yanchuan, it will be much stronger than it is now. But he met Yang Qi, who was beaten to his hometown instead of stealing chickens and rice.
Although the Great Elder didn't know what Lord Cang Mang Long thought of at this moment, he heard Cang Manglong's words and said persuasively: "Great King, why don't you worry too much about why you will come with a large army. ”
That being said, he himself is like a fire.
"Report!" Soldiers suddenly came in outside to make an urgent report, and when the two of them heard it, they immediately became more and more anxious.
"The offensive of Yang Qi's army is even more fierce than before!" At this time, the Great Elder didn't care about comforting Cang Manglong, and his face became extremely ugly.
Taishou Canglong's originally flustered heart was forced to stabilize it.
Cang Manglong commanded: "Great Elder, you immediately select a few people with good skills, bring my handwritten letters, and find an opportunity to go out of the city to deliver the letter, just say that this city can only last for a week at most." ”
The Great Elder also felt that it was not a long-term strategy to continue to sit still like this. So, he responded: "The minister obeys." ”
Go out and look for the dead.
Such a royal city is also the foundation of Cangmanglong, and his subordinates naturally have a group of henchmen with good skills.
Although he may not have the ability to be a general, he is clever, agile, good at horsemanship, and most importantly, loyal, and is a group of people who have been trained since childhood.
"This is my letter to He Bei, it is a matter of survival, you wait for an opportunity to go out of the city and deliver the letter to He Bei, the sooner the better." Facing the few people standing respectfully in front of him, Cang Mang Long said.
Several people hurriedly bowed down and vowed to deliver the letter. The same letters, given to them separately, let them break out from different places.
"I hope He Bei can come to the rescue, and He Beijun can come sooner. Otherwise, it will be difficult to defend the city. Watching these people leave, Cang Mang Long was silent, and after half a sound, he sighed.
