Chapter 36: Insatiable Greed
Some of the students are really remote, if you want to clear them all, it is estimated that it will take two or three years to do so, at this time to shoot a few partial generals, and divide a few more troops to complete the task. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The only better place now is Hainan Island in the later generations, which is the current Yazhou Island, half of which belongs to the land outside the country. Moreover, the Shengli in this place is much more difficult to deal with than the Shengfan, and he does not accept the king at all.
Originally, Li Tang was not very interested in this place, but since Huang Zhong and the others had nothing to do, it was very good to arrange to clear the Shengli here.
As for the possibility of making wedding dresses for other players, Li Tang has never been afraid.
As long as it is the city and territory laid by Li Tang, it must be explained clearly, where others cannot build the city, otherwise, it will be to send Li Tang a village building order and incarnate spirit. Because, Li Tang's pirates are not vegetarians!
Just as Li Tang continued to transport troops to various cities, Li Tang got the news that this Zhang Mancheng had been killed and Wancheng had been broken.
It turned out that Zhang Mancheng had 5 million troops in his hands to defend Wancheng, of course, he couldn't trap the city.
In order to form a corner trend, a large camp was set up in the south and north of Wancheng, and each large camp was garrisoned by 1.5 million troops, which were garrisoned by his generals Zhao Hong and Sun Xia.
If Xu Xuan attacks the southern camp, the city comes out to rescue the southern camp, Xu Xuan attacks the northern camp, the city comes out to rescue the northern camp, and attacks Wancheng, then the northern and southern camps come to the rescue.
Anyway, it is to let the attacking side not be able to attack with all its strength, and always pay attention to their own back.
In fact, with Zhang Mancheng's wisdom, he must not have thought of this strategy, this is a strategy offered by players, although it is simple, but it is still very practical.
In this way, a simple corner of the momentum made Xu Xuan and them dare not attack the city with all their might. And ordinary siege methods are hardly effective.
In this way, Xu Xuan and Qin Jie besieged the city for several months, and the two sides fought dozens of times, but neither side could help the other. Zhang Mancheng wanted to eat Xu Xuan's army, so he was always supported by Qin Jie's sailors.
Even if Xu Xuan's army was trapped on the edge of the White River, it could be quickly transported to other locations by boat. Anyway, neither side dared to move too much, Xu Xuan's army did not dare to go too far from the White River, and if it was too far, it would be surrounded by the Yellow Turban Army. The Yellow Turban Army did not dare to pursue Xu Xuan too far, otherwise, they might also be surrounded by Qin Jie's sailors.
The two sides have come and gone, but they have not achieved an inch. However, the army is here, and the food and grass are a little short. However, the Yellow Turban Army on the Wancheng side had two large battalions to cover it, and there was no pressure to transport grain and grass into the city, and it was even more convenient for the officers and soldiers to use boats to transport grain and grass. Moreover, the grain routes of the two parties, the other party is helpless.
However, everything has a turnaround. This Xu Xuan and Qin Jie saw that the army was stalemate here, and they couldn't advance an inch. So, he ordered people to rush to the siege ship.
A siege ship that can throw boulders and attack city walls.
A type of siege ship is taller, taller than the city walls, and can stand on it and shoot down on the defending soldiers.
There is also a kind of siege ship folded with a siege ladder, the siege ladder is higher, when the bow of the ship is close to the city wall, you can use a pulley to flip the siege ladder over, put on the city wall.
This siege staircase, similar to a drawbridge, has a gentle slope and is relatively wide, and once it is built on the wall, the soldiers can easily run to the wall.
When the siege ships arrived, Xu Xuan suddenly attacked and took the city wall on the side of the Baihe River in one fell swoop. And even if the north and south camps want to rescue, there is no way. Originally, the defense on the side of the White River was relatively empty, because the space in this direction was narrow, and it was not easy to deploy troops.
When Xu Xuan's army entered the city, he naturally had no intention of being beaten out. Therefore, the two sides fought to the death, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.
It's just that Xu Xuan's troops in the city are superior, the Yellow Turban Army is insufficient, and the morale is completely lost, so they are defeated and retreated.
It is also in line with the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army, this Zhang Mancheng saw that his troops were about to be defeated, but he took the lead, charging ahead, and wanted to kill the enemy general in battle.
It's a pity that he met a fierce man, that is, the new Nanyang Taishou Qin Jie, this Qin Jie is very powerful, and he is skilled in arching horses.
On the other hand, Zhang Mancheng is brave and brave, but he never uses a bow and arrow.
Just brandished the big knife and rushed towards Xu Xuan and Qin Jie.
This Qin Jie didn't say anything, pulled out the bow and arrow, and pointed an arrow at Zhang Mancheng, Zhang Mancheng saw an arrow flying, and hurriedly dodged under the horse, but never thought about it, as the saying goes, shoot people first and shoot horses, this arrow is indeed running towards Zhang Mancheng's crotch BMW.
BMW received an arrow, stood up, and threw Zhang Mancheng to the ground, falling to the ground.
And Qin Jie took advantage of the situation to clamp the horse's belly, flew up on the horse, and cut off Zhang Mancheng's head.
When the Lord was dead, the remnant opened the gates of the city and fled to the camps of the north and south.
In this way, the offense and defense were transposed. Now it has become a yellow turban thief outside the city, and Xu Xuan is inside the city.
In order to pacify the remnants of the enemy inside the city, Xu Xuan did not dare to go to trouble the northern and southern camps outside the city. It's just that the city gates are closed, and then the people don't mention it.
Li Tang heard that Xu Xuan had invaded Wancheng, and hurriedly entered the city to congratulate, and at the same time confessed:
"Failing to rush to Wancheng in time as agreed to assist the adults in breaking the city is really a crime that deserves death! After receiving your order, he traveled day and night, rushing to Wancheng, but unfortunately encountered heavy interceptions from various cities on the way, in order to prevent falling into a heavy siege, he had to pull out these nails one by one, and only then did he dare to march in the direction!
Now, in Nanyang County, all the cities, except for those that I agreed with me not to take advantage of the situation to attack our army, I have taken the others. In this way, I came non-stop, and Lord Clinker has broken through Wancheng, which is really gratifying! ”
Of course, such shameless words were naturally taught to Li Tang by Shi Tianze, and Li Tang still couldn't think of it himself.
Actually, Xu Xuan naturally understands what's going on, with a large army on his side, you are beating drums in the back and seizing those cities.
But it's okay, so these cities can't rescue Wancheng.
Even, after the city is fully occupied, the grain and grass in Wancheng naturally need to be transported from farther away, which can be regarded as making some contributions to the capture of Wancheng!
Then again, even if Li Tang's hundreds of thousands of troops arrived at Wancheng, it is estimated that it will not be of much help to attack the city, and it will just be a waste of grain and grass.
Without siege ships, Li Tang couldn't capture Wancheng when he came. If you don't come, it's good to help recover the city.
However, this Li Tang is really powerful, a Wancheng on his side has not yet been captured, he Hulala captured more than 30 cities at once, although the number of defenders is not much, but after all, it is the besieging side, imagine that there are not tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops in that city?
It's really not easy to capture it, not to mention that Li Tang is only a few hundred thousand people, how to capture a city in three or five days is also amazing! It seems that this Li Tang can't be underestimated! At least, if he took Li Tang's route, it is estimated that he would be able to get to Wancheng in this way. In this way, how can you blame Li Tang?
"General Ye has worked hard! It's not too late for you to get to Wancheng now. What's even more rare is that you can recapture the fallen cities in the Nanyang area one by one, and you are even more wrong, what is the crime? ”
"More adults are magnanimous and grateful. In addition, there is a matter of humble duty, and I hope that the adults can make a decision. ”
"What's the matter?"
"That's right, sir. Humble all the way to attack the city and plunder the wall, recaptured a lot of cities, but these cities lack defensive strength, and there are no officials in the city, the people are in a mess, if you leave it alone, it will inevitably cause a civil uprising, and the people will suffer!
Therefore, each city recruited hundreds of thousands of soldiers to defend the city. After that, the military generals were transferred from the army to take over the city seal, manage the city, and ensure the security and daily operation of the city. At present, the cities are basically impregnable, and each city is also in good order, and the people's will is stable, which shows that these officials are still more attentive and competent.
Therefore, they had the audacity to ask the adults to give them a formal appointment. I hope you will consider it. ”
After finishing speaking, Li Tang took out a roster from his arms, which was the names of the civil and military officials in various cities.
Xu Xuan looked at this list, and the boss was unhappy in his heart. Isn't this a forcible command? And cronyism! I just wanted to oppose it, but then I thought about it, these cities were originally captured by Li Tang, if Li Tang didn't take them, then they were still in the hands of the Yellow Turban Army!
In this way, these cities became a threat to Wancheng.
Therefore, it seems reasonable for Li Tang to coerce important officials!
In addition, these cities are now in the hands of Li Tang, and it is said that they are impregnable, which should be true, but if they are in the hands of others, such as Liu Neng's generation, then it is inevitable that they will fall again!
Moreover, the original officials of these cities, who died and fled, are gone.
If you have to send people from Xiangyang to take over these territories, not to mention offending Li Tang, they may not be able to defend the city!
Moreover, Li Tang mentioned that he had negotiated with other cities, which meant that Li Tang might secretly instruct other Yellow Turban military cities to attack the cities he had appointed officials, but he would not save him.
Therefore, now that the troubled times are undecided, Li Tang wants to be an official, and he really has no choice.
I can only agree first, and when the Yellow Turban Army is calmed down, I will slowly come back in the future.
Therefore, Xu Xuan said:
"It stands to reason that General Ye has made such a great contribution, and the appointed officials are also conscientious, which shows that the general knows people, how can I not use it? However, I also have a condition, that is, I must ensure that these cities do not fall into the hands of the Yellow Turbans, otherwise, I will replace them to defend them. ”
Before, Shi Tianze asked Li Tang to do this, and Li Tang still felt a little incredible, thinking that Xu Xuan would not agree.
However, Li Tang still tried it again.
Sure enough, Xu Xuan agreed.
