Chapter Ninety-Four: Little Lady Liu, Soldier Linyi Prefecture

Surrounded by green mountains, facing the bright morning sun, smiling lightly.

The perspective changes, on the distant peak, near the gorge, the ears are the cries of mountain birds and wild monkeys, and the eyes are closer, clear scenery.

"Ha, that's funny, it's a good baby." Liu Yingying held the binoculars and had a good time, with exclamations coming out of her mouth from time to time.

"Little lady, it's time to go back to dinner." The maid reminded from the side.

"Wait a minute." Liu Yingying said impatiently and continued to watch and play.

It wasn't until Liu Erzu sent someone to urge him again that Liu Xiaoniang put away the binoculars and went back without being happy.

History: There is also Liu Erzu, also known as a thief, after the defeat. His daughter, Miss Liu, gathered tens of thousands of people, and was also broken by the Flower Hat Army.

And Liu Yingying is the daughter of Liu Erzu, the female hero who followed her father's ambition and gathered tens of thousands. Although it was only a short-lived uprising, it was also a shining light in history.

At the dinner table, Liu Yingying complained with some dissatisfaction, "This Meng, Meng Jiucheng, is really stingy, and only gave it to Daddy Clairhand." ”

It's okay not to mention this, as soon as he mentioned it, Liu Erzu remembered that his daughter moved his telescope. Although he doted on her, he still lowered his face and said: "That object is from overseas, it is very precious, you don't have to move it again in the future, so as not to damage it." ”

Liu Yingying was not afraid, pursed her lips, and said, "No matter how precious it is, it can be bought with money." Otherwise, why did he give it to Ambassador Cheng and General Peng? Daddy, it doesn't matter if you don't give it to your daughter, what about Uncle Huo, isn't he as good as Ambassador Cheng and General Peng? ”

"This-" Liu Erzu was stunned for a moment, thinking that his daughter was right, Huo Yi was his deputy, that is, the second leader of the Red Jacket Army, how could he not compare to his subordinates?

"I just don't know if Meng Jiucheng still has this clairvoyant mirror in his hand?" Liu Erzu said with some hesitation: "If not, we either want or buy, isn't it difficult for strong people, making people feel that we are insatiable?" ”

"Ask tactfully, and don't force him to rob him." Liu Yingying blinked her eyes and said with a smile: "He and General Peng don't want to fight Yizhou, why don't we send some people." Help them fight, and talk to them. Besides, don't we still have a share of the loot? Just shipped back! ”

"It's not enough to say that if you can't fight, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to mobilize the people." Liu Erzu thought for a while and said: "However, what you said also has some truth, if we don't send more, it will only be fifteen or six hundred, and it is enough to help the war." ”

"Then let the children lead the way!" Liu Yingying seemed to be prepared, and immediately took over the conversation.

"Nope." Liu Erzu replied happily and glared at his daughter, "You stay honest, the girl's family, what are you talking about?" As he spoke, he pushed the dishes and chopsticks and got up and left.

Hum! Liu Yingying also angrily slammed the bowl down, but her eyes rolled around, revealing a sly smile.

…………..

Time flies by in the rush of preparation.

By the appointed date, Meng Jiucheng had already dispatched troops and sent generals, and the military preparations had been completed, and the army set off from Banquan Town and marched west to Yizhou.

The road was very smooth, and Peng Yibin's 6,000 men and horses met in Tanghe Town, and the troops of more than 10,000 people marched into the city of Yizhou.

The reaction of the Jin army was expected, and more than 2,000 defenders did not dare to go out of the city to fight when they saw that the enemy was menacing, so they closed the city gates and held on to wait for reinforcements.

When the coalition forces arrived at the city, they did not immediately divide their forces and start out, but first dug a trench to block the city gates. Starting from the east gate and the south gate, then the west gate and the north gate, the troops were deployed with the blockade, and the Jin army was not given the possibility of going out of the city to raid a section.

"The enemy is very stable in his use of troops! Stability is slow, delay time, and the food is gone. Yizhou Tongzhi Defense Envoy Sansahe stood on the city tower, observing the outside of the city, commenting, and his face was not panicked.

Yizhou had experienced war before, and the villages and towns on the outskirts of the city were repeatedly looted by the Jin army and the rebel army, and not only did the people flee, but there was no material supply. Therefore, the servants were scattered and decided that although the enemy was menacing, it could not last.

"Your Excellency is wise." The staff complimented on the side: "The thieves left last time, and this time they will be defeated." ”

The servant nodded and smiled, and said, "The enemy is menacing, but I have certain rules. Forgive the rabble of thieves and thieves, and they can't help this fortified city. ”

The defense of Yizhou made the servants to stay at home and be transferred to lead the troops to suppress Yang An'er, and there were only more than 2,000 defenders left in the city. Therefore, Meng Jiucheng was a little worried, but not redundant.

Not to mention that the servants scattered and urged the generals to be strictly guarded in accordance with the law, let's talk about Meng Jiucheng and Peng Yibin first.

After a day and a half, the army completed the blockade and launched, and set up a village outside the four gates of Yizhou City, focusing on defense, and there were also men and horses stationed outside the city, surrounding Yizhou into an iron bucket.

The engineering team also completed the survey and determined that the tunnel would be dug from the north for blasting. Meng Jiucheng, who received the report, immediately transported the ten large stone throwers he brought to the south of the city, arranged them in the ring blockade trench at the south city gate, sent troops to collect and transport stones everywhere, and started a feint attack before dusk.

In front of the blockade trench, a high earthen edge was piled up, and there was a vast night, as well as sword and shield soldiers, which provided better cover for the soldiers who operated the catapult.

Although there is a flying thunder cannon, there will be a more powerful and long-range bronze cannon in the future, but the stone thrower, a simple and easy-to-build weapon, Meng Jiucheng did not give up. It's just that you need wood, you need carpenters, and the cost is low!

And even the stone throwing machine is a very advanced heavy weapon for Peng Yibin, Cheng Fu and others. Especially during the bombardment, it was really a very pleasant thing to watch the stones of fifty or sixty catties rise into the air and smash into the city towers and city walls, and the enemy screamed and exclaimed in the dust.

"This thing is amazing!" Peng Yibin nodded again and again, and said to Cheng Fu: "Kill and injure the enemy first, destroy the city defense, and then use the cloud ladder to attack the city, the casualties will be much smaller, and the city is indeed somewhat certain, right?" ”

Cheng Fu thought about it and shook his head silently. He felt that if it was just like this, Meng Jiucheng would not show such strong self-confidence, but if he wanted to say anything else, he couldn't think of anything.

The servants in the city were also alarmed, thinking that the enemy was attacking the city at night, and hurried to come, but saw that it was raining stones. The big ones can smash holes in the city walls, or even make gaps, the small ones can smash people's heads to the point of bleeding, and there are cannonballs that can explode with a bang, which is even more powerful.

This was a surprise to the servants. He originally thought that the enemy was going to attack, but it was also suppressed with bows and arrows, ladders climbed, and ants attached to the siege. Unexpectedly, the enemy has a long-range weapon that is more powerful than a bow and arrow.
