Chapter 306: Xiang Wentian attacked the city again

Time is like flowing water.

Just when they were preparing and accumulating strength, the first one who couldn't sit still was Wynn.

With the rebellion of the First Army, only the Third Army is stationed in the Imperial Capital of the Central Three Major Army Corps.

When the Second Army was heading north in Yongde, it had already been sent south and stationed in Philadelphia, the county seat of Huangguang County.

Because this city is the last barrier outside the imperial capital, mainly because the periphery of this big city is a big river, a naturally formed big river, the water flow is relatively turbulent, called the Fei River, usually the people need to go out by boat.

Therefore, Wynn accepted the advice of the ministers and sent the Second Army to Philadelphia, preparing to use this natural danger to stop Yongde's footsteps. At the same time, all the surrounding city guards of Huangguang County were transferred to where.

And now the commander of the Second Army is called Xiao He, Xiao He has long been a top staff member under Wynn's income, Wen Tao is strategic, proficient in military law and battle formations, and deeply trusted by Wynn.

Therefore, Wynn handed over the Second Army to his commander and went south to defend Philadelphia.

And now Yongde, at this time, has reached the south bank of the Fei River, Fei Nan City.

Yongde took Feinan City without spending a single soldier, and the city lord of Feinan City and the commander of the city guard saw Yongde waving the banner of the royal family and adding hundreds of thousands of troops, and his legs and stomachs trembled with fright.

Therefore, the two of them did not say a word, but directly surrendered to sincerity, opened the city gate, and welcomed Yongde into the city.

And when Xiao He in Philadelphia on the North Shore heard the news, his mouth was crooked.

Because when Xiao He first arrived in Philadelphia and was stationed, he had already issued a summons in the name of Wynn, ordering the two of them to block Yongde and his party as much as possible, and only after consuming some could they withdraw their troops to cross the river.

This is good, seeing that the army is coming, without saying a word, he directly opened the city and surrendered to Cheng, so that all the baggage, grain, grass, and military salaries that exist in Feinan City fell into the hands of Yongde.

Because of the existence of the Fee River, Philadelphia and Fernando are both large grain-producing counties, and although a large river separates them into two counties, they are blessed by the river water, and the mass production of grain is very high.

When Xiao He went over, he thought that the two of them would defend this city, although they proposed to take away some grain and grass and military salaries, but under the persuasion of the two, they did not take away a grain of grain and grass and a copper coin in military salaries.

This is the main reason why Xiao He is angry. But it's too late to say anything now, even if people have already surrendered, then they have to defend Philadelphia well.

And Yongli, in the imperial capital, once again put his mind on the Third Legion, and prepared to send the Third Legion to attack the Acropolis again, but in the end he was stopped by all the ministers and did not succeed.

The reason is very simple, the reason why it was not blocked before was that the Acropolis was a rabble, and the Dispatch Legion could take it, but with the defection of the First Legion.

Then it was not the rabble guarding the Acropolis, but the First Army of the Central Army with combat effectiveness, so Wynn finally gave up the plan to attack the Acropolis as a last resort.

Of course, this is only one reason, and another reason is that Xiaohe also sent a battle report, saying that the Yongde traitors led an army of 600,000 to capture Feinan City, and Feinan City was not guarded, and directly opened the city to surrender.

So now the two armies are facing each other across the river, and the war is about to break out, hoping that the dynasty will give some help.

So Wynn, who had no choice, had to allocate 100,000 people from the Third Army and rush to Philadelphia with defensive baggage, so that Xiao He also had 500,000 troops in his hands to defend the city.

This time, Wynn was relieved, but because of the transfer of 100,000 people, the original Third Army only had 150,000 people, so after discussion, something that was incredible to everyone was done.

As a result of the discussions, the military department issued an order to assemble all the city guards and county soldiers in all the counties and counties within the territory of the original imperial dynasty to the imperial capital, and they were not allowed to carry weapons.

If anyone does not come, they will be punished according to the theory of rebellion, and they will be defeated together.

In just a dozen days, this order was transmitted to the county guards of all counties or the commanders of the city guards.

When this order came out, the whole country was in an uproar, and the most uncomfortable thing was the counties sandwiched between the two ends, even if the northern ones wanted to comply with the order, but would Yongchun of the Acropolis let go? It's just a joke.

The southern part of the country has now basically been swept away by Yongde, so this appointment has no meaning.

The only ones that had no choice but to obey were the counties and towns around the imperial capital, as well as the cities and counties in the east-west direction that had not yet been affected by the war.

Therefore, in more than a month after the order was issued, the Third Army of the Imperial Capital rapidly expanded to more than 600,000 people, and Wynn was happy at this time. With a direct wave of his hand, he was directly reorganized into 2 legions.

In this way, the 150,000 people of the original direct line of the Third Army Corps were directly divided into two, plus the troops of the county towns and cities sent over, they were integrated into the Third and Fourth Army Corps, and they stepped up training in the school field outside the imperial capital.

At this point, Wynn's heart was put down. There is Xiao River in the south to resist, and now the threat from the north has not been lifted, so Wynn once again turned his attention to Yongchun in the north.

And Feixi County, far away in the north, of course, also received this appointment, and when I saw this appointment, I scoffed. It's all this time, are you still rebellious or not?

Although it is true that you are the prince of the Yonghe Dynasty to succeed to the throne, but you change the name of the country to Wynn, then this paper order is like waste paper.

"Boss, what do you think?" At this time, Zhuge Jin sat opposite me, looked at me with a smile and asked.

"Look at the ghost, brainless guy, this order has a fart purpose, it's waste paper, what should we do, you urge the Ordnance Division, the siege equipment is done quickly, our war is coming." ”

Zhuge Jin nodded, then said some information he got and left, and went directly to the Ordnance Division.

And I directly kneaded the order into a ball and threw it out, and there were sounds one after another outside at this time, and I walked on the recliner, squinting my eyes, not too comfortable.

Of course, Xiang Wentian, who was about to go south, also received this appointment, but his approach was the same as mine, he just crumpled it into a ball and threw it away, and he didn't care about this appointment at all.

At the same time, he deliberately sent a horse to ride a fast horse and take his own token and run to the moat pass to prevent accidents from happening to the moat pass. Because now it is the city guards of the original Heavenly Trench City who are guarding the Heavenly Trench Pass.

Xiang Wentian didn't want to catch fire in his back, if he really let this paper order buy the hearts of the people guarding the Heavenly Trench Pass, then how could he realize his ambitions.

After anxious waiting, 8 days later, the first batch of grain and grass finally arrived at Xiang Wentian's camp.

Most of the grain and grass in the back will take about 2 days to arrive.

On the evening of the arrival of the grain and grass, Xiang Wentian announced that everyone would throw off their arms to eat dinner tonight.

directly made the sergeant who had been hungry for 8 days completely cheered, and at this time, Xiang Wentian proposed that everyone should eat and drink hard tonight, attack the city early tomorrow morning, and completely take down the blockade.

Of course, now the border guards in the Xiangwentian belt can be said to be the same enemy, hungry these days, these sergeants have scolded the ancestors of the people who burned their own grain and grass countless times.

Tonight I can finally have a full meal, as for the siege of the city tomorrow, for the soldiers, it is time to officially vent their anger, so as soon as Xiang Wentian moves at will, the morale of the soldiers rises.

That night, when it was dark, the soldiers could already smell the aroma of meat, and followed the fragrance to find a place to eat.

Then lined up, just like that, a big bowl of rice, plus a big spoonful of broth and a big piece of meat, ate a mouth full of oil, and those soldiers who were still queuing, looking at the stew in the pot, their eyes were glowing green.

This night was the first night for the whole army to be happy in the Xiangwentian military camp, and all the officers and men had eaten and drunk enough, and all returned to the camp to rest.

As the sky dawned, the assembly call in the barracks sounded, and the 350,000 troops hurriedly ate a little dry food and gathered outside the barracks.

Xiang Wentian slowly arrived in front of the army in a car, and Xiang Wentian stood on the frame like this, looking at the unfamiliar faces below, and at the shiny spears that were erected.

At this time, Xiang Wentian's pride rose to the sky, and he suddenly said, "Soldiers, the closure of the city that blocked us from going south is behind me at this time, the villain who sealed the city, sneaked up on our army's camp in the last battle, and burned our army's grain and grass, what do you say?"

"Kill"

"Kill"

"Kill"

A roar that shook the sky was heard far away, and even Wei Zhongxian, who was standing on the city wall at this time, heard it.

"Well... Soldiers, what you said is good, then today, I hope you will show your courage, don't be afraid of sacrifice, our battle today is the last battle against the blockade, kill.."

As Xiang Wentian drew his sword and pointed back, he announced the official start of today's siege.

Then the drums sounded, and the soldiers set up wooden ladders and began to advance step by step, and the siege ladders were behind the first group, and the archers followed behind the siege ladders, and finally the rear army.

Behind the rear army was the catapult camp.

At this time, Wei Zhongxian, who was standing on the city wall, looked at the murderous spirit and grinned at the team coming from the city, knowing that this level might not be easy, and if it was not good today, he might break the city.

Thinking of this, Xiang Wentian recruited all the four regiment commanders around him, and mobilized all his troops to the north city gate, with a posture of strict defense.

Xiang Wentian's side advanced, and when the commander of the catapult in the rear estimated the distance to reach the range, he directly ordered the catapult to stop moving forward, and then projectile.

It's just that the first round basically didn't reach the city wall, and all of them landed outside the city wall.

"Hide behind the battlements, and if you can't do so, let me go down the wall, Shida, and tell me to go down, and our catapults will be prepared for me, and do what I command. ”

At this time, Wei Zhongxian saw that the other party's catapult had been thrown over and landed outside the city wall, so he knew that this was for calibration, and then stopped talking nonsense to let his own soldiers dodge.

Sure enough, when Shi Da was about to go down the city wall as soon as he agreed, there was a sound of searching and breaking the air from the opposite side.

"Whoosh... Sou... Whoosh"

"Boom..."

When the sound of breaking the air fell, there was an explosion sound from the city wall, accompanied by a roar, and Wei Zhongxian felt that the city wall was shaking slightly.
