Chapter 145: The Siege of the City of Industry
"I don't know where to go. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Qing Yu shook his head and looked at Liu Gan: "What have you been doing this month?" ”
Liu Gan brought his experience together, fell into the grass for Kou and then fought with the Luoyang army, served the orphans of the great merchants and then conquered the city, and finally Luohe City was defeated and retreated to Luoyang to seek a breakthrough. Because the danger around him has not been lifted, Liu Qian only gave a brief explanation.
Qing Yu seemed to be very interested in Liu Gan's experience, and said, "So, let's go to Yecheng?" ”
"Good!"
However, Qing Yu didn't move, and Liu Qian looked at her suspiciously: "When will you leave?" ”
Qing Yu gave him a punch angrily and funny, and said, "Now, lead the way!" ”
"Oh, oh", Liu Gan reacted and took Qing Yu to Yecheng. On the way, Qing Yu began to ask all kinds of questions, so detailed that she had to ask all kinds of questions about what she was doing every day for a month. And Liu Qian also learned from her that this month, Qing Yu had been staying in Lingxu Valley, cultivating stealthily.
And when they were in a hurry, Yecheng had been recaptured by Qiu'er and others.
Of the 50,000 defenders, 30,000 were Xinding, who were recruited by Liu Gan when he took over Yecheng. Fifteen thousand are old pawns, the earlier defenders of Yecheng. Five thousand were recruits, recruited by Qiu'er in Baihua City, and followed Liu Qian to Yecheng. And among them, there are a small part, about 200 people, who are directly from Shuanglong Village, and their top boss is Liu Gan. Therefore, such a complex team is actually difficult to control.
Of course, Yanling doesn't think so.
After receiving Qiu'er's help, Yanling immediately contacted the defenders in the city and found that Jiang Zhen had arrived with a small number of elite troops. After all, the tens of thousands of people under his command were used to guard the city of five senses, and on the other side of the river, there were a large number of Soviet troops gathered in the open source city. And after coming to Yecheng, he did not take over the defense of Yecheng, and most of the guards of Yecheng were still handed over to these 50,000 people.
Therefore, this creates a great opportunity for Yanling.
On that day, she just raised her arms and shouted, and thousands of defenders immediately pointed the finger at Jiang Zhen. And after that, it caused a series of reactions, and tens of thousands of troops were defeated. And the only one who is a little bit of a threat is Jiang Zhen, an old heaven-level powerhouse, but how can a mere Jiang Zhen be able to compete with the power of Qiu'er and Kong Ning's alliance?
Therefore, Yecheng easily but naturally returned to the territory of the merchant army.
But, that's just the beginning.
Jiang Zhen reported the situation in Yecheng to Zhang Rang in Huajian City. At this time, Zhang Rang had already beaten Dali and Suzhou to the point that he didn't dare to show his head with the power of the array, and he was worried about what else could try his latest improvements.
Zhang Rang was overjoyed.
Wave 50,000 troops, pointing directly at the city of industry.
But his general Hua Wei has a problem: "Zhang Shuai, with the situation of the orphans of the big businessmen, even if you can't fight, you can escape." And now Huajian City is still facing the threat of Linhai City and Bamai City, once the army is raised without success, it will definitely damage the military prestige. ”
Zhang Rang frowned: "What do you mean?" ”
Hua Wei said with a smile: "Contact Your Majesty and ask the old general Chang Zheng to personally lead the army to attack Shang Rebellion in the north, and you will definitely be able to make a contribution in one fell swoop!" ”
Zhang Rang was overjoyed when he heard the words and did things according to the plan.
So before the army of 50,000 was opened, a letter was urgently delivered to the little emperor Li Ke for 100,000 miles. As soon as Li Ke threw things away, he summoned Marshal Anguo, and Chang Zheng was worried that he couldn't find Qiu'er and these people, so His Majesty sent people to his eyes, and even thought about the means to deal with them.
Immediately, the Marshal of Anguo, the Marquis of Yongsheng of the Empire received the order to lead 30,000 troops straight to Yecheng.
So, on the tenth day of the fifth month, the lords of the major forces got a piece of information that the orphans of the big merchants in Yecheng had been trapped in Yecheng for more than three days.
Great Qin, among the palatial palaces.
Emperor Yuan Jun was expressionless, looking at His Highness's ministers through a pool of deep water in front of the main hall.
Just now, the general informed the public of the siege of the orphans of the great merchants in Yecheng, and His Majesty the Emperor did not move, but the ministers below quarreled.
Taken together, there are two suggestions.
The first is to send troops to attack Luoyang, thinking that the big merchants are coming out, and the actual purpose is naturally to open up the territory. And those who support this opinion are naturally military generals and the like, after all, fighting a war means military merit, which also means being promoted to an official position and making a fortune.
The second is to put pressure on Luoyang and let Luoyang spit out some benefits. At first glance, the idea was put forward by the ministers, because once a war broke out, these ministers became dispensable. And those military generals who have been bullied have won military merits, and they are as arrogant as they want during the war years, so they are naturally afraid of their retaliation.
Inside the main hall, there was a mess, like the people in the market who were arguing endlessly in the morning market. Even the prime minister is not exempt from vulgarity, and the general almost got into a fight with someone!
The string of beads in front of Yuan Jun swayed, he waved his big hand, and his majestic voice resounded through the hall: "Enough!" ”
Only then did the ministers calm down, return to their original positions, and sort out all the clothes on their bodies, and then face the emperor respectfully again.
Seeing that the hall was quiet, Yuan Jun spoke and made a decision.
"Dashang is a big country in the world, but it is really embarrassing to be torn apart by such a sinister and cunning small country as Luoyang. Spread my will, Luoyang is disloyal to the ministers, and the king is not virtuous, Daqin deeply feels that it is not easy to do business, and hereby sends 100,000 troops to relieve its siege. ”
The Manchu generals were excited, and the Wenchen was like ashes.
A similar situation has arisen within other alien races. When the big merchants ruled the world, they could only look up to others and bow down. After all these years, their livelihood has improved, and it is a good time for them to show their ambitions, but they can't wait for the opportunity. And now, it just gives them an excuse.
Be loyal to the big business!
Then, the whole army was eager to try, and in the past, they could only covet the resource-rich land, but now they can invade on a large scale!
At this time, the city of industry, the tragic situation is straightforward, and people can't bear to look at it directly.
In the past three days, the defenders have repelled many Boluonian attacks with bed crossbows, sasswood, and boiling oil, but they still have no effect.
On the first day, Zhang Rang came to call for battle, and Qiu'er didn't want to go out of the city gate to fight him, but he didn't want to be defeated, and lost tens of thousands of soldiers! Since then, Qiu'er has been strictly forbidden to go out of the city to fight, but has only stood against the wall until now.
Luoyang attacked the city day and night, and the ground was full of corpses under the city walls. On the city wall, there are big merchants lying all over the ground, only inhaling air, but not breathing out for a long time. Due to the lack of manpower, they had to stay on the city walls. And within three days, the Luoyang army continued to attack the city, and they could only forcibly resist it, and three days passed, and the meal and relief were all completed on the city wall! So, they were so tired that they would fall asleep for just a spare time, and the middle and lower rank officers such as the whip-wielding captains who were constantly patrolling the city walls were their only support.
And that's not the worst of it, what's even more desperate is that the defense equipment has run out! Without arrows, even if the soldiers still have strength, what do they have to have a long bow and a strong crossbow? Without the short guns, those powerful crossbows are completely broken copper! Without the logs, the soldiers could only start digging dung, boiling them instead, but the unstoppable offensive outside the walls was still endless, and who could guarantee how long they could stop them?
