The siege of the capital of his own country aroused the hatred of the soldiers of Suoyun Kingdom. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoOnce the capital is captured, it basically represents the demise of a country, and Suoyun has no way to retreat, so it can only hold on desperately.
Contrary to the strategy of the foggy black army to besiege Chenghua Mountain without attacking, the strategy of capturing Chenghua City is of great significance, therefore, Sural the Great personally commanded an army of 70,000 and launched a fierce attack on Chenghua City. Therefore, since the siege of Chenghua City by the Foggy Black Army, the fierce battles of all sizes have not completely stopped! All kinds of tactical combat techniques have been used on Chenghua City, and all kinds of siege baggage are also taking turns, and the Foggy and Black side is almost ready to capture Chenghua City at any cost, so as to take the entire Fengmeng Continent.
Under the command of Ling Jiang, everyone fought desperately and resisted desperately, and after the Nanzao defense line was broken, under the condition that the morale was greatly hit, they gritted their teeth and held on to Huacheng City, not retreating a single step! Subsequently, the two sides were depleted and entered a stage of protracted confrontation.
70,000 defeated troops entered Chenghua City, testing Chenghua City's ability to withstand from all aspects. First of all, the problem of public security, while resisting the siege of the foggy army, the Tieyu army also had to allocate part of its forces to strengthen the patrol and inspection of the city, strictly prevent the rout of the army from disturbing the people, and added to the panic of the people and garrison of Chenghua City.
The second is how to calm the panic of the rout, prevent it from spreading among the troops, and more importantly, re-energize their fighting spirit so that they can enter the battle as soon as possible. He Yue sent those high-ranking ministers in the court who could only talk every day to appease the rout. No matter how aristocratic the ministers were, they knew that the survival of the country was at stake, so they assigned several groups of men to take turns to constantly inspect the camp of the defeated army, to calm and comfort their panic, to greet them, and to express their condolences.
Under the reassurance of the ministers in turn, the defeated army calmed down some of their anxious and violent emotions, and became relatively quiet, but they were depressed, and they were in a state of pessimism and despair about whether they could hold the city, the country, and their homeland. Escape, they are Fengmeng people, when the entire Fengmeng has fallen, where can they flee to?
In addition to commanding the affairs of the city, He Yue also took time out of her busy schedule to inspect the camp of the defeated army. He Yue didn't dare to wear the Nine Dragons gown, but changed into regular clothes, so that when He Yue was inspecting the rout camp, those rout soldiers were still a young high-ranking official of the court. Accompanying He Yue on the tour was the president of the rout, General Mao En, and He Yue told Mao En to keep quiet early in the morning, and he was just a secret visit.
Mao En led an army of three or four hundred thousand, suffered a crushing defeat in Nanzao County, his Weiyuan army, killed most of the soldiers, and fled to Chenghua City with only 70,000. Mao En has lived a full life in this life, has been successful in martial arts, married a wife and had children, accumulated military exploits, added officials to knighthood, became a general, stationed in northern Xinjiang, can be described as an official road, the road is flat, the fiasco of this battle is extremely heavy to Mao En, in the twilight of his life, he is suddenly depressed, discouraged, and depressed, and the mood is even lower than that of ordinary routs!
He Yue walked all the way and watched all the way, with a heavy mood and didn't say much. It's just that when I passed by a Weiyuan soldier, at a glance, I felt that the soldier's elbow injury was bandaged and messy, and it looked too bad. He Yue didn't think much about it, pulled the wounded soldier, and untied the bandaging cloth.
Mao En was startled and shouted, "Your Majesty, be careful of the blood!"
He Yue didn't care at all, squatted in front of the wounded soldier, took the bloody hand, looked over and over, and asked the wounded soldier softly: "Your injury is not serious, who bandaged it?"
"Small, small, little people pack their own bags, big people, big husbands, busy, too busy. ”
He Yue casually ordered, "Bring the water." Thinking that there were too many wounded soldiers, the military doctor was too busy, and said: "Go back, call the imperial doctor to come and treat the soldiers." ”
Mao En's "Your Majesty" alarmed the surrounding routs, and they all gathered around, but they did not dare to speak, so they watched as the emperor skillfully cleaned the wounded soldiers' wounds, and then bandaged them properly with a clean cloth belt.
He Yue took care of the wounded soldier's injuries before standing up and asked Mao En: "Is the blood of the soldiers dirty?" Without waiting for Mao En's answer, He Yue replied loudly: "No, it's hot! Without the blood of the soldiers in front, how could there be today's Chenghua City? Without your resistance all the way, Chenghua City would not be so fully prepared, so that it could withstand the strong attack of the foggy black barbarians and stand tall on the Zaoqiu Plain! I will work with all the soldiers to defend the city and never take a step back. The city is in the people, the city is ruined, and the people are dead!"
There were still some people who were talking, but they suddenly fell silent.
Mao En suddenly knelt down with his legs bent, kowtowed, and shouted: "Your Majesty is heroic and courageous!" Mao En is willing to follow Your Majesty, the city is in the people, and the city is ruined and the people are dead!"
After a period of silence, the defeated soldiers suddenly burst into chaos and shouted: "Our soldiers are willing to follow Your Majesty, the city is in the people, the city is ruined, and the people are dead!"
After the shouting subsided slightly, He Yue said loudly: "There are hot-blooded men in my Fengmeng Continent, as long as we Fengmeng people are sincerely united, we can unite as one, how can we allow the fog black barbarians to enslave and bully? Show off their might? One day, we will drive the fog black barbarians out and make them pay for their blood debts!"
Thinking of having an emperor guarding the city with him, it played a great role in encouraging the morale of the defeated soldiers, swept away the decadence, hot-headed, and desperately shouted: "Drive out the foggy black barbarians, and make them pay for their blood debts!"
He Yue didn't expect that the trauma cooking technique she had practiced hard had never had a chance to be used on Feng Ran, so she fell at this time, hitting it crookedly, which boosted morale.
However, the morale of the defeated army can not be fully stimulated by He Yuesan's two sentences, but it has only played a some inspiring role, the defeated soldiers still need to continue to repair, the wounds should be recuperated, and the training should continue to practice, the decadent and depressed atmosphere of the army that has been wandering in the rout camp for several days has faded a lot, and gradually breathed into vitality, feeling that those defeated soldiers are gradually "alive".
Immediately after that, the livelihood of these 70,000 defeated troops was confronted. The rout army fled all the way south, and it was unknown whether they could escape with their lives, and the supplies and baggage were basically lost. Chenghua City suddenly had more than 70,000 defeated troops in grain and grass expenses, even if Chenghua City was rich and had more grain, it suddenly became embarrassed.
He Yue ordered that Wang Cunyu, a doctor from the Ministry of Industry, be fully responsible for collecting grain, collecting grain, and transferring grain, and doing his best to supply and raise grain and grass for the defeated army.
The Iron Feather Army is generally equipped with ten-day grain and grass, and after the war, it is equipped with more ten-day food, and the military food is only enough for twenty days. At present, Chenghua City mainly relies on the Iron Feather Army to defend it, and this grain is absolutely untouchable. Not only can they not move, but the grain officials are still secretly worried, if the foggy army does not retreat for 20 days, what will happen to the follow-up grain of the Tieyu army? Usually you can buy grain with silver, but this is the fat difference, but now you can't buy food with the silver, and the fat gap has become drudgery!
From the moment they got the news of the invasion of the Foggy Black Dynasty on the Fengmeng Continent, the price of rice skyrocketed, whether it was the nobles, the officials or the ordinary people, as long as they had the ability, they all frantically hoarded rice. The city is besieged, everyone is trapped in the city, sitting and eating the mountains and empty, and food is the root of life. Now the shops are closed, all industries are depressed, and there is no place to beg. Some time ago, the suburban refugees who fled into the city still had to rely on the government's soup kitchens to survive.
In this case, where did Wang Cunyu get the grain and grass, so he had to borrow some troops from Ling Jiang, and then forcibly smashed all the rice shops in the city and searched them, and went door to door to distribute the rice to collect rice, which made the people resentful, the chickens flew and the dogs jumped, and he barely coped with the grain and grass for four or five days, it was really unimaginable, and he asked He Yue for his guilt: "The minister is incompetent, he can't raise food, please ask Your Majesty to surrender!"
He Yue seems to have considered this issue for a long time: "Spread the decree, from now on, the daily expenses of the harem will be cut by half, and half of the grain will be donated for the army." In front of the ministers, the chamberlain drafted the decree, printed the seal, and went to the harem to pass the decree. At the beginning of the emperor's opening, all the ministers were very discerning, and they expressed their willingness to donate part of their own family food to serve as a military guard, in order to tide over the siege. From the emperor to the ministers, they all donated food to help the war, and some nobles in the city heard about it, and they did not dare to slack off, and they also donated food one after another. The food stored by these ministers and nobles is far richer than that of the common people, and they even supported it for more than ten days, including the army of the Iron Feather Army.
Half a month later, the rout army was about to run out of food, and a group of ministers were so anxious that they could not do anything. He Yue took Wang Cunyu and a group of officials and drove directly to Fengyuan. Walking into the vestibule, he saw bags of neatly stacked grain, He Yue said: "This is ten days of food, Lord Wang asked someone to count the number and hand over to the chief manager of Zhuang." ”
This is the first time He Yue has returned to the Wind Garden since the wind dye left. Fortunately, in the Wind Garden, except for the departure of Feng Ran, under the care of Manager Zhuang, everything is as usual, He Yue looked at this familiar garden scene, and was melancholy and sour. Although he has said many times, telling Feng Ran not to be formal, Feng Ran has always been cautious in his words and deeds, never pampered and arrogant, and never exceeded the etiquette system, every time he came, Feng Ran would wait in the front hall to pick up, and then accompany him all the way back to the prince's bedroom. He Yue stood in the front hall and couldn't help but sigh: I'm afraid that in the future, I won't see Feng Ran coming out of the front hall and kneeling on the ground.
There was so much food stored in the Wind Garden, enough to meet the needs of the army for ten days, which made all the ministers overjoyed, swept away their sorrows, and waited for He Yue to sit down in the front hall, and bowed to the ground together, praising the emperor's foresight and pre-stocking of grain, which was too prescient.
He Yue put down the teacup and hummed lightly: "Adults, have you forgotten, what is the name of this garden, and who lives there?"
