Chapter 742: Attacking the Heart

Since ancient times, besieging three missing one is a common method in siege warfare, the purpose of which is to make the defenders think that there is still a way to live, so that they will no longer resist desperately in the siege of the city, so that the besieging side can also achieve the purpose of capturing the city at a smaller cost, because Arubu has fled back to Longcheng, Xu Shiyong and Yang Deming and others are not very important in Li You's heart, and there is no target in the city that must be taken, so Li You also took such a method.

Of course, he would not allow these northern soldiers to return to their hometown safely after the disaster of the people of Great Wei, so he ambushed a cavalry near the north gate, once the enemy dared to flee out of the city, this cavalry would be responsible for sending them to hell and rescuing the people and craftsmen who were carried out by them.

What made Yale Buhua and Xu Shiyong a little puzzled was that Li You did not immediately attack after besieging the capital, but set up a camp and began to continue repairing; Yale Buhua wanted to lead the troops out to kill for a while, but after observing for a long time, he didn't see a trace of flaws in the layout of the Jiazhou army, and then remembered the tragic situation when Arub led the army to attack the Jiazhou military camp a few days ago, Yale Buhua suddenly put away the idea of rashly attacking, there were less than 20,000 Mobei troops left in the city, and it was really not suitable to consume here, so it was better to wait for the attack of the Jiazhou army with the help of the capital wall.

It's just that I don't know if such a thick city wall can stop the cannons of the Jiazhou army? As for whether he can hold this city, in fact, Yale Buhua doesn't have much confidence in his heart, he can only hope that the cannon power of the Jiazhou army is not so great, otherwise this battle will not be easy to fight! He did not forget to learn the lesson of his brother Yeluhan, placed countless vats at the base of the city wall, and sent people to monitor the movement of the underground day and night to prevent the Jiazhou army from digging tunnels and blowing up the city wall.

If the Jiazhou army directly launched an attack, those forbidden troops under the surveillance of the Beiyu might only be able to stand up to the battle, but now Li You actually stopped temporarily, which made their minds slowly increase, maybe... Is this Lord Taiwei waiting for them to revolt? As a result, the secret connections between those forbidden army generals became more and more numerous.

Not only the forbidden army, but also the people in the capital have long been fed up with the oppression of the Beiyu and Xu Shiyong, as soon as they heard that Li You led the arrival of the Jiazhou army, they all cheered, even if they did not dare to openly resist the Beiyu, but they could still do it by slowing down a little when they were going to defend the city of Zhuzhu for the Beiyu, as for those who were bold and had begun to think of ways to make a disturbance in the city, in order to divert the Beiyu on the city wall and facilitate the siege of the Jiazhou army.

As for the Black Ice Terrace, they are not idle, they haunt the mansions of various powerful factions in the city from time to time, from the generals of the forbidden army to the wealthy merchants who control the food supply in Beijing, and then from the five cities to the gangs of the three religions and nine streams, and even the temples and Taoist temples have not missed, although they rarely expose their whereabouts, but Yale Buhua Maybe Shi Yong and others also vaguely felt the changes in the atmosphere in the city, and because of this, they became more and more nervous, Li You had not yet started to attack, and they themselves were a little chaotic.

But Yale didn't spend and didn't dare to put the northern captives on the city wall down the city, as long as they dared to go down, the forbidden army in the city would dare to open the door to welcome the Jiazhou army in, they didn't have the backbone to fight to the death with the Jiazhou army, so Yale didn't spend enough to urge Xu Shiyong to solve the affairs in the city.

Xu Shiyong and Yang Deming already knew that they had no way to retreat, and could only follow the Beilu to the black, so they did not dare to disobey Yale's order not to spend the slightest, and immediately summoned the officials of the Imperial City Division, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and other yamen to prepare for a thorough investigation of the Jingzhong Works, but these officials knew that the fall of the capital was only a matter of time, and the Jiazhou army led by Li You successively defeated Yuan Zhang's 100,000 army and Arubu's 300,000 army. With the 20,000 Beiyu in the hands of Yale Buhua and Xu Shiyong, these ineffective troops still want to hold the capital? It's just wishful thinking!

Therefore, they are absolutely unwilling to offend Li You again when the city is about to be broken, it is better to take this opportunity to sell some good to the Jiazhou side, so that they can save their lives when the city is broken in the future, of course, it would be better if they could mix with an official and a half-position in the Jiazhou court.

With such thoughts, how could these people work hard for Xu Shiyong? On the surface, they all agreed one by one, and after they went down, they also sent their most powerful people to thoroughly investigate the traces of Jiazhou's meticulous work, but they did not check these people to ask for credit in front of Xu Shiyong, but to contact the Jiazhou side and sell all the information they had.

Especially those officials in charge of the prison, at this time, they treated the prisoners who were suspected of being Jiazhou fine works as uncles to serve, and they served them with good food and drink every day, and even invited a few red people from the Qinglou to serve them, so that they could forgive themselves a little for their past offenses, but unfortunately most of these people are some guys who fish in troubled waters, and there are not a few people on the black ice platform, and they are thrown to the blind man this time.

Before the battle began, all kinds of details of the defense of the capital were sent to the Jiazhou army through various channels, and these were accompanied by the Beijing Forbidden Army, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, the Imperial City Division and the letters sent by various dignitaries in the puppet Chu court, in which they agreed that as long as the Jiazhou army broke through the city gate, they would respond immediately.

"Hey, this capital is also one of the most fortified cities in the world, but why does it look so vulnerable?" Li You didn't know what to say when he saw this, when Yuan Zhang led the army to attack the capital, there was not much desire to resist in the city, and a few years later, when his troops came, there was also a call for surrender in the city.

"Lord Taiwei, it seems that the people in the city are available, the soldiers have also repaired these days, and the gunpowder shells sent from the rear have been replenished, so maybe they can start attacking." Staff officers of the General Staff advised.

"Okay, start the siege of the city early tomorrow morning, so that those people in the city are ready to respond, if you want to wash away the previous guilt, no matter how well the letter is written, it is useless, it still depends on their actions." Li You accepted their suggestion and immediately began to arrange the siege.

The city's defense was full of flaws in his eyes, and the defenders in the city had no intention of fighting, so in Li You's opinion, this siege battle would be very easy.

Early the next morning, the artillery of the Jiazhou army roared, and they launched an attack in three directions at the same time.
