Chapter 531: Abnormal Movement
The night was deeper, and the cold rain in Yongzhou for seven or eight days finally stopped completely.
After attacking the city for a day, after leaving behind more than a thousand corpses, Jiaozhi still retreated.
Li Fuzai squinted his eyes, stood outside the big tent, and looked at the direction of Yongzhou City from afar, his face was very ugly.
At the moment, there is not half a star in the sky, the sky is pitch black, he is so far away, in fact, he can't see anything clearly, at most, he can only see Yongzhou City turned into a large black shadow, standing there quietly.
The place where the camp was stationed was in the wilderness, and although there was a low mountain a few miles away, the mountain did not hold back any wind, but I could hear the cold wind blowing towards the tent, and the cold wind that was as clamboyant as a pinprick hit my face.
Tan Zong stood aside, the soles of his boots were sticky with thick yellow mud, and he stood outside in the middle of the night blowing a cold wind, and the cold poured from head to foot, and then from foot to head, making him very uncomfortable.
Compared with Yongzhou, the winter in Jiaozhi is really much warmer.
The siege has only been more than half a month, and Jiaozhi has already lost its troops. Yongzhou City relied on the bow of the divine arm, at the beginning of the period, the city did not have to die a single soldier, it had consumed nearly 10,000 troops in Jiaozhi, and later the battalion took advantage of the winter rain to force the Yongzhou defenders to come out, only to reluctantly turn over the original one-sided situation.
On the premise of knowing that the divine arm bow is powerful, the captain Li Fuzai in front of him is still just as strong as he wants to attack the city, which has already caused a lot of opposition in the camp, but he relied on his past prestige to suppress it.
As the deputy commander of the army, even if he disagreed with the commander's approach, Tan Zong had to admit that this was the fastest way to deplete the bows and crossbows in the city.
However, whether there is a need to be in such a hurry, Tan Zong is skeptical.
Most of the people sent by Li Fuzai to attack the city at this time were men and horses from other factions in the DPRK and China, and the generals had suffered heavy casualties, and they had already complained.
Tan Zong is not Li Fuzai, he is too lazy to stop the other party's prestige-wasting practices. In fact, if the officers and men in the army made a commotion, caused trouble, and ousted Li Fuzai, he would be the one who could take his place.
This Jiaozhi dispatch can be said to be facilitated by Li Fuzai's efforts.
And now the ruling power is the Empress Dowager Yilan and the little emperor Li Qiande, the Empress Dowager Yilan was born poor, but she is the daughter of a roadside peasant, because of her outstanding appearance, she was looked at by the passing emperor and included in the palace.
After the death of the first emperor, Li Fuzai forced the empress dowager to martyr the first emperor, and then lifted the curtain of the Empress Dowager Yilan, who had no background, and then forced the important ministers designated by the first emperor out of the court.
It's not Lee Fu-jae, who is still the lieutenant of the DPRK, who has the final say.
At this time, it is not the end of the road, if you fight for more than ten days, you still can't attack the city, and another 10,000 or 20,000 people will die, and a mutiny in the army is inevitable.
Tan Zong was waiting for that day with some anticipation.
The two didn't stand outside for long, Li Fuzai looked at Yongzhou City in the distance in silence for a while, and returned to the camp without saying a word.
Tan Zong had no different color on his face, and followed back to his camp.
However, before he could lie down again, a soldier outside hurriedly called the door and shouted: "General, there is movement at the south gate of Yongzhou!" ”
Tan Zong hurriedly turned over, got out of the tent, and took his soldiers to the outside of the camp at the south gate.
Li Fuzai and the generals were already standing on the ground, his face was slightly red, his eyes were full of excitement, and he shouted: "The day before yesterday, the water source in Yongzhou was cut off, and now God has stopped raining again, God really helps me!" ”
The reason why Li Fuzai was so calm and comfortable about this siege, even if the army suffered such heavy casualties, was not anxious, partly out of selfishness, and partly out of understanding the situation in Yongzhou City.
More than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Yongzhou City are now besieged, and the most important thing is food, water, and ordnance.
There is no shortage of grain here, and it is not a problem to keep it for three or two months, but people always have to drink water, once there is no drinking water, as long as it is three or five days, I am afraid that it is difficult for people in a city to continue.
There are only a few wells in the city of Yongzhou, in the past, the people in the city took more water from the Zuojiang River to drink, he cut off the water source into the city at this time, and led the water in the canal in the moat, it was difficult to drink water in the city, and the rain stopped two days ago, and there was no other source of drinking water.
The officials in the city are not stupid, and when they see such a situation, in addition to holding on, they will definitely urge reinforcements.
What Li Fuzai has to do is to besiege the city on the one hand, besiege the city on the other, and consume the defenders in the city to death.
At this time, it was only half a decade later, and the people who went to attack the city were either the rest of the factions in the DPRK and China, or the recruits who were forcibly recruited.
The Jin people came to help, if it was the troops of Guangzhou and Guizhou, they would not be afraid, but they would be only three or two thousand people, and their own army of 100,000 people, where would they be afraid?
When the Jin court heard the news, ordered the troops and generals, and the army was dispatched here, it would be three or five months later!
He Li Fuzai led the troops to the north, and it was not to take root here to seize the city and open up the land, to be able to connect the three cities, all the way to break more than ten villages, and then there were nearly 10,000 prisoners, countless war profits, when he went back, he was already able to cover the sky and the sun, full of courts, no one can sweep the edge.
What he wants is only to break the city, not to defend the city, when the time comes, the city will be demolished, those who can be taken away will be taken away, those who can be taken away will be taken away, those who are in the way will be killed, and the excess will be burned, and when the Jin people come, they will leave the ashes down, which can be regarded as revenge for the fiasco of Yang Kui in the past!
At this time, Li Fuzai would not consider why Yang Kui was forced to lead his troops south, let alone remember that it was because of Jiaozhi's repeated robbery of caravans at the border that he was raped**Female, occupy the fields, forcibly capture labor, and finally set the army to commit murder, only to finally attract a counterattack in Yongzhou City, after the two countries started a war, Jiaozhi first showed off his might, not afraid at all, until he was beaten by Yang Kui's troops, he honestly settled for a few years.
He stood in the camp outside the south gate, almost impatiently waiting for the soldiers outside to reply.
The next head came back quickly, and before he could reach the front, he shouted loudly: "Tai Lieutenant, I heard some movement on the Yongzhou city wall, and General Cao Pi will send a villain to ask if the battalion should lead troops to attack the city!" ”
Li Fuzai was overjoyed in his heart, but he immediately shook his head and said, "Don't startle them, let them do it!" Tell Cao Erman to lead 2,000 soldiers to wait, and then come back to me after you can see the movement above! ”
The soldier took the order and departed.
Afraid of the power of the divine arm bow, the place where Jiaozhi camped was far away from Yongzhou City, and it was only a place to explore the outpost, even if it was daytime, it was impossible to see the scene in the city, let alone the dark night today.
