The feng shui of this place in Mubang City is not good, and it is located in the arch of the crooked Red River, which neither hides the wind nor gathers water. If it is on the south bank of the Red River, and the city is built in a river bay, the feng shui is much better...... So now Mubang City is under siege by tens of thousands of people.

The clear sky was already shrouded in black miasma of dust and gunsmoke, as if the clouds had pressed down to the ground. In the hazy smoke, the roaring trebuchets made a loud noise, and stones fell from the sky like stars.

Yang Qi, who was riding a horse, was surrounded by a group of personal guards and iron horsemen, and crossed the battlefield in the smoke of gunpowder. He saw ladders set up everywhere outside the city walls, and charging carts, gun wagons, and countless infantry were advancing. The voices of people on all sides were boiling, and the shouts of killing and screaming were endless.

People were falling on the city walls all the time, including Cheng soldiers who were shot down on the ladder and Donghu defenders who were knocked down by bows and crossbows.

The soldiers wearing iron helmets and holding shields were still slowly climbing up the ladder, showing no signs of being hit by their weapons.

Yang Qi did not interfere with the generals' siege tactics at all, he was just observing the progress of the siege. However, his personal appearance on the battlefield was in itself a reminder to military generals at all levels.

Despite the dissuasion of his own soldiers and generals to beware of stray arrows, Yang Qi still rode a horse to patrol a hundred steps away from the city. He looked at it for a long time, and then he was sure that Donghu's long-range weapons could not do any harm to the soldiers on the ladder.

Yang Qi rode his horse for a while before he came across a pond and had to walk through the ruins of the village, whose roof had been removed. The terrain here is flat and vast, but there are many waters, lakes and ponds everywhere.

When a cavalry group crosses a large rice field from a large road, the Red River can be seen to the south.

"Woo ......" Yang Qi made a voice and gently reined in the war horse. He rode his horse on the edge of the rice field and stood for a long time looking at the river.

The inside and outside of the city on the riverbank were messy, but the surface of the Red River was still very calm. There is a piece of land in the middle of the river near Mubang City, which forms a port with the riverside. Many warships anchored on the shore of the land in the middle of the river and at the Watergate Wharf in Chengchi. Because Yang Qi's men and horses did not organize a naval army, there was no war on the river.

Yang Qi made a round trip and returned to the camp inside the siege fortifications. There were many more wounded soldiers in the barracks, and the screaming and moaning in the wounded barracks did not stop, and they were shouting everywhere, which was very miserable.

Yang Qi threw the reins to Wang Wei and walked into a tent, where he saw that the military doctor was busy. One of the soldiers was unarmoured, and the accompanying medic was cutting through his clothes with scissors.

"Meet the prince!" The military doctor hurriedly hugged his fist.

Yang Qi waved his hand and said, "It's important to save people." ”

The military doctor tore the shirt of the soldier who was screaming, and immediately scolded: "It's poisonous again!" Donghu was so vicious that he smeared poison on his bow and crossbow, and the skin and flesh on his brother's chest were all black. ”

Yang Qi asked, "Is there an antidote?" ”

The military doctor shook his head and said: "There are all kinds of poisons on the arrows, and it is useless to take the medicine, and the wound will fester!" The injuries on his hands and feet could only be cut off, and the brother's chest was injured, so he could only wait for his skin to fester, and slowly die of pain. ”

The soldier who was crying out on the bed seemed to hear the words of the military doctor, and then began to howl and cry, and his voice became more and more desperate and miserable.

Yang Qi was helpless, and after walking around, he bent down and stepped out of the tent door.

In war, people will die, and there will be all kinds of cruel and vicious situations, and both the enemy and the enemy will be the same. Yang Qi has seen a lot and has long understood...... The only way to avoid this is peace.

The siege of Mubang lasted several hours. As the sun went down, the fighting died down and the army began to retreat. Above and below the city walls, many corpses and wounded soldiers were left behind, but there was no real progress.

However, this situation is expected, if the siege is not an internal traitor, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve results in a short time. At least it will take a while before it can be useful, depending on who can't bear it first. Some siege battles can even be fought for several years, and finally win by encircling and starving to death the opponent.

Of course, Yang Qi did not intend to besiege Mubang City for too long, he was based on the judgment that the landlord would not be very capable and easy to attack, so he launched a siege war. He was going to endure it for a few days and then see what was going on.

…… Early the next morning, the Cheng army continued to attack the city.

Mubang City is surrounded on three sides, and the trebuchets in the distance are the first to vibrate, welcoming the blood-red rising sun. After two days of trebuchet bombardment, the battlements in the city wall were already in tatters.

Armies advanced to the walls, bows and crossbows were consumed from a distance, and dust, smoke, and loud noises quickly enveloped the fresh morning in the flames of battle.

Yang Qi rode out of the camp on horseback and observed the battle situation everywhere in order to judge whether the city could be captured in a short time! The generals of each department will be responsible for the attack tactics of one place, and Yang Qi is now the main general, so there is no need for him to interfere in every place, he just needs to understand that everyone is fighting as hard as they can.

The cost of arrows in the army is extremely high, and the intensity of the battle in the past two days is very high. The siege did not stop even at noon, and the various units took turns to go up and attack!

At dusk, Yang Qi inspected the western city and suddenly saw a soldier climbing the city wall on a cloud ladder. There were no reinforcements from Donghu in order to try to retake the city!

Yang Qi immediately stopped in place, pointed to the head of the city and said, "Go and give an order, this department will reward each person with ten yuan!" The soldiers who go to the city first will be rewarded for their meritorious deeds, and they will be rewarded for their promotions, and the king will never hesitate! ”

"Order!"

At this moment, a voice said: "The last general asks for help, go and reinforce it!" ”

Yang Qi looked back and saw that it was his garrison general, Prince Yan of Qianhu. Yang Qi nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Wang Yu immediately shouted: "Brothers, the prince is here to watch us make meritorious contributions, follow me!" ”

Dozens of horsemen rushed to the city wall, shouting everywhere, and several generals were driving the soldiers up the ladder. Swords and guns were wielding in the city, and the soldiers were fighting to the death.

Wang Ziyan glanced up, and a soldier with a disheveled head on the side of the city wall shouted and waved his sword and shield, and his back was full of arrows. Generally, the first person to attack the city wall is dead, because there are few people who go up, and they will face the siege of the superior defenders. What's more, usually when someone attacks the city, the defenders will desperately mobilize reinforcements to gather and annihilate it!

But the greater the danger, the greater the credit!

Wang Ziyan turned his head and shouted to a military general: "His Royal Highness King Cheng ordered Ben to come to reinforcements, please go up the ladder!" ”

The general nodded and said, "You can go up now!" ”

Wang Ziyan and the other soldiers in front climbed up, took the lead in picking up a pair of round shields on the ground, and went up the ladder ahead of the soldiers. The soldiers under his command then climbed up.

"Ahh One of the soldiers on the ladder above was hit by an arrow and fell to his knees. Wang Ziyan hurriedly grabbed the wood and lifted it with one hand, and the wounded soldier rolled down from the side of the ladder.
