Chapter Seventy-Nine: Internal and External Troubles
The strong troops in the north are in full swing, all the way to the north of the Yu country, and the DPRK quickly reinforces hundreds of thousands of troops in the Yu country. When another city was breached, Mu Shenyu could no longer sit in the palace, and finally went into battle.
The war in the west is tight, and the main force of the Doctrine Army and the Lonely Desert is still continuing to attack Wanlu City, and another branch formation has successfully converged with the forces of the North from the bordering land to flank the Yu Kingdom.
Tu Qinchengyuan was not a person with too much ambition, but he had been unhappy for a long time because he had been unhappy for a long time because he had inspired the Northern Expedition three years ago. This trip took the initiative to deter the Mukai Dynasty, which wanted to annex the Northland.
The crown prince of the court was restless, and discussed with the ministers every day how to calm the internal and external troubles. But seeing that everyone heard that the situation outside the Cypriot was in an emergency, and that the northern land was too strong, they all had a headache.
Although the King of the Curtain is far away from the smoke of the battlefield, he is no longer as leisurely as before. I saw that there were plasters everywhere in the city to recruit troops, and the people were panicked for a while. The crown prince Mu Liang was irritable, and ordered Mu Shenyu not to lose a city no matter what.
King Yu, who received the holy decree, sneered and mocked, contemptuous of this mediocre prince who only knew how to talk on paper but did nothing.
At that time, Mu Shenyu was defending the source city, and there were two major strategists around him, one of whom believed that the geographical location of this city was extremely important, and if this place was broken again, then it would be an easy to attack and difficult to defend front with the several cities that had been lost before, which was more conducive to the north's breakthrough. He proposed to send an envoy to sue for peace, but another adviser thought that it was useless to sue for peace, the source city was large, and the strong troops in the north had not yet formed a siege of the city, so they should send more main forces to defend, and send elite soldiers to infiltrate to harass and contain the enemy.
The two expressed their opinions, and Mu Shenyu stared at the sand and gravel map and pondered. At that time, he was facing the main force of the Northland, and the Northland Army that was traveling around the country in the west and northeast was also a tricky threat.
Source City is the birthplace of the Key River. The key river meanders from northwest to southeast, branches in the source city, Tu Qin ordered people to inject medicine in the upstream, and build a dam to intercept it in the downstream. Although the medicine is of little use, it only makes the officials and people in the city feel uncomfortable, but if the downstream is blocked, it will inevitably cause the water level to rise inversely and then flood the city if it is blocked.
Mu Shenyu ordered people to go downstream to block them, and thousands of people went forward, and half of them returned. In order to prevent the health of the officials and the people from aggravating, on this day he climbed to the top of the city and ordered the city gate to be opened and drummed to march. Chariots lined up on the city wall and threw rocks at the enemy camp, and used strong shields to withstand the rain of arrows fired by the opponent's bows and crossbows, and then ordered the rocket soldiers to counterattack at the head of the city.
No city has ever been so difficult to take as the Source City. The two armies advanced and retreated, and the situation was reversed, and the stalemate was stalemate.
After several small victories, the mixed armies of the United Northlands in the west began to fight among themselves. They are both competitive people, and they are dissatisfied with the division of the spoils obtained from several victories, so they naturally want to provoke each other. Mu Shenyu knew that this side should outwit it, so he sent someone to pretend to be defeated and surrender, and took the initiative to provide food and grass equipment. Seeing that the Han people were groveling, they didn't enjoy it, and thought that they had supplies, and they would be invincible in the future.
The people who pretend to surrender have a thousand faces, the doctrinal army shows their loyalty, the lonely desert subordinates praise their merits, and the Northland Army sighs at its strong soldiers. Then, in front of the three forces, he lamented that the other two parties secretly colluded and wanted to divide the property privately.
The three points are like a trap, killing and looting, and internal friction with each other. Mu Shenyu took advantage of the other party's confusion and ordered it to be exterminated in time. Tu Qincheng did not pin his hopes on leaving the Allied forces in the west, so he sent a small number of people, and when he received the news of his annihilation, there was not too much turmoil.
The lonely desert side suffered heavy casualties, and reluctantly retained the main force and the doctrinal army to continue to besiege the city and destroy the Han, but after all, there was a mustard, and as soon as Wanlu City was captured, the doctrinal army was taken by surprise.
Since there is a shortage of manpower, it is necessary to integrate into the new army. As a result, various places in the west have launched military rally.
The west and north were in turmoil, and the southern barbarians were not far behind.
The contest between King Mu Qiyan and the three major clans of the Southern Barbarians was wonderful. The three clans are well versed in each other's strengths, avoiding useless methods to face head-on, and each has its own strengths to use in battle, which can be described as treacherous.
The Zhegui clan had the largest number of people, and half of the 300,000 Southern Righteous Army were from their clans; Liao is good at planning, and his combat skills are flexible and changeable; Once there is a chance to approach Yuege City, the rain of arrows cast is either quenched or burned with poisonous fire, and the Han soldiers in the city are often smoked by poisonous gas, vomiting and losing sight in severe cases.
There are many Han soldiers, and they will be replaced in time, and they will not be able to be attacked by the enemy.
The Southern Righteous Army was anxious to rebel, and originally wanted to rely on the support of the people along the way to ensure the problem of grain and grass, but the means were despicable and unpopular. After several days of strong attacks and hard seizures, they did not take Yuege City, and the Southern Righteous Army, which had been fighting from a long distance, gradually fell into the dilemma of exhaustion and food.
The general under the command of Mu Qiyan learned that the Southern Righteous Army was transporting grain and grass one after another, and he was ordered to personally bring soldiers and horses to intercept the enemy's baggage troops, and successfully burned hundreds of thousands of stone grain and grass.
The Liao family ordered people to fabricate tens of thousands of pots and tables from the entrenched mountains and forests, and tore flags everywhere, creating the illusion that the mountains were all soldiers. As everyone knows, the left and right could not wait for the additional grain and grass, and the morale of the army became more and more low.
The Zhe Gui clan knew that there was a sect in Tanuki Mountain, and its leader didn't know what to think, and wanted to enlist the fox tooth mirror who didn't care about the affairs of the world to kill Yuege City together. The fox tooth mirror master ignored it, the man didn't know the height of the sky, and thought that most of the people in the mountains were dull, and he should teach him a lesson first. So he took people up the mountain to threaten, and the mirror lord was angry and sent people to wash ochre Gui's blood.
This matter was known to Mu Qiyan, and he also wanted to join forces with this mysterious Jianghu force, and he also spent a lot of money to send people there.
The Tanuki Clan and his entourage were hit hard, and the remaining party was bound to be unwilling, and wanted to join forces with the other two clans to quickly capture Yuege City, and then reflexively clean up the Fox Tooth Realm.
The Lord of the Mirror sent a letter to the West.
At this time, Yu Jiang City had been blocked, and when Huan Qi and the others escorted the doctor to buy medicine, they spent a lot of money to enter the city. As a result, the situation is even more tense than two months ago, with the streets and alleys of the city deserted, few people left, and few pharmacies closed.
Zuo Chu received a letter from Tanuki Mountain, knowing that there must be one more person in the mountain to share the worries of the mirror master, he asked Xu Yu Ying to bring some shadows back first, promising that he would go over again in the future.
Xu Yuying smiled and said that there was no shortage of shadows, and left alone. As soon as he left, Zuo Chu was missing the sharpest hand beside him, but he was in a hurry for the three of them. They feared that something would happen to their master here.
On the other hand, Zuo Zhu himself carefully guarded the clothes, and he didn't care much about the rest.
A-Niang listened to Lu Mai's detailed description of the current situation, and looked at the young man guarding the bedside, and she really couldn't help it. When she gossiped with Zuo Qi, she also knew that the Zuo family was in a single lineage. Zuo Chu risked staying in Xili for the sake of Zhu Yi, and if there was an accident because of this, they must be the sinners of the ages.
I don't know how many times I persuaded with good words, but I still failed to convince the stubborn. Zuo Chu said: "The younger generation is still the same sentence, if A-Niang's family agrees to leave together, they can leave for the east on the same day." ”。
The topic is stuck here again, and both sides are helpless.
