Chapter 60: Raising the Drums of War

Yang Qing stood on the cloud platform, quietly looking at the heavenly moat on the other side of the abyss. www.biquge.info Seven days have passed, and in the past seven days, he has been paying attention to the movements in the sky and clouds every day.

For the first two days, there would often be some fire or smoke in the city, but these days there are no more. And the soldiers standing guard at the head of the city also seemed listless.

The shortage of food in the city has reached a serious point, and it is certainly not peaceful in the sky and clouds now. The information sent back from the city also confirmed his thoughts.

Now, seven days have passed, and even if the soldiers in the city do not starve to death, they will no longer have the strength to fight.

"Let people prepare, drive those ordinary people over. Yang Qing looked at the general who was guarding the side.

"Marshal, since we have no food in the city, why don't we besiege and not fight?

"There is a lack of food in the city, not a lack of food. It takes at least eleven or twelve days to go back and forth to the nearest city to mobilize grain, and it will take even longer to collect grain. But I can't guarantee that they won't urgently send troops and horses to speed up. Therefore, this time is the most suitable time to attack Tianqian Yunya. ”

Yang Qing looked at the sky and clouds, and looked confident.

"Now there is chaos in the city, and the combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced. Once their food arrives, all the arrangements will fall short. Take advantage of the weakest combat power of the opponent to capture the heavenly moat in one fell swoop. Even a little more loss is better than doing nothing. ”

"The subordinate understood. The general didn't dare to slack off, and immediately left the Yuntai and passed Yang Qing's order as quickly as possible.

Yang Qing thought for a while and looked at Zhuo Yuanwu: "Go and ask the intelligence officers to notify the soldiers in the city to assemble, when the horn sounds, they will be in all corners of the city, unscrupulous means to create chaos, and then find an opportunity to open the city gate." ”

"Yes. Zhuo Yuanwu also left immediately.

Soon, tens of thousands of civilians were driven to the side of the cloud bridge. In it, I don't know how many soldiers from the Cloud Country have been mixed in. This time is different from other times, this time it is to use these civilians as strikers, that is, to make the people of the Dragon Kingdom cast rat traps.

Once the commander in the Heavenly Trench Yunya lets these civilians enter the customs, then the Heavenly Trench Yunya will become the bag of the Cloud Country.

"Let's go. Yang Qing looked at the civilians with fear on their faces expressionlessly.

"Go, go. ”

The panicked civilians were driven onto the cloud bridge and headed in the direction of the heavenly moat and the clouds.

Seeing the moat on the opposite side, the civilians who were fearing the seeds revealed a hope in their eyes, and they rushed to the cloud bridge. A steady stream of civilians crossed the cloud bridge and rushed towards the gates of the city.

"Marshal, what should I do?" Yang Ke looked down at the panicked civilians below, his face extremely ugly. He didn't expect that Liyun Kingdom would actually make this move again.

And so on. Jun Wuwu's face was not good-looking, and he still used his binoculars to observe the civilians who were driven across the cloud bridge.

There were sixty or seventy thousand people in it, and there was a lot of water, and at least ten thousand soldiers were mixed in the crowd.

"Marshal, why don't you use the same method last time to find out the soldiers. The crown said.

"No, it's not the same now. They are going to attack the heavens and clouds, not send people to lurk. Their shieldmen and archers were ready, and when the civilians came, they would cross the bridge. Jun Wuwu shook his head, and the telescope fell on the opposite side of the abyss.

"They want to use civilians as human shields?" Yang Ke's face changed.

"Congratulations, you got it right. Jun Wuwu put down the binoculars, his face was not good-looking.

"Then what now, don't you open the gates for these civilians to enter?" the crown clenched his fists, his eyes full of anger.

"It can't be opened, there are a large number of soldiers from the Cloud Country mixed inside. As soon as it is put in, Tianyan Yunya is not far from breaking through. Jun Wuwu forcibly held back the anger in his heart.

"What should we do then? There are tens of thousands of civilians down there, can we watch them be killed by our soldiers as human shields?" Crown's anger completely erupted, and he roared at Jun Wuwu.

"Don't lose your temper in front of me, do you think you're the only one who will be angry?" Jun Wuwu was provoked by the crown and burst into anger, grabbed his neck and lifted it up: "Do you think I don't have anger? You have been a general for more than ten years, and you still don't understand it? This is war, and someone must die." ”

Jun Wuwu's cold eyes were like a basin of ice water pouring down from his head, making him feel cold.

He had never seen Jun Wuwu lose his temper for a long time, and at this moment, he found that Jun Wuwu was much more terrifying than he imagined.

Jun Wuwu snorted coldly and let go of the hand that grabbed the crown's neck.

"Shut up and wait for me now. ”

Jun Wuwu is also angry now, and the calmer he is, the greater his anger. Liyun Country's use of civilians as human shields has touched his bottom line. He is now a commander-in-chief, and he has a lot of responsibility, and he must be calm and not let anger cloud his judgment.

"Sooner or later, the Liyun Nation will pay the price of blood for what they have done today. Jun Wuwu's tone revealed Sen Han.

Everyone was frightened by Jun Wuwu's frenzy, no one was talking, and they could only quietly watch the people on the cloud bridge continue to gather towards the city gate.

Seeing Jun Wuwu's anger, Mo poured his heart into swallowing back what he had just wanted to say. She knew that it was impossible to open the city gate at this time to let these civilians in, and rashly persuading would only increase Jun Wuwu's disgust.

Every general on the city gate was very unwilling, and Liyun Country used civilians as human shields, which was to let them cast rat traps. If these civilians are not attacked, the soldiers who blend in with the civilians will attack them, and the whole of the Trench will be in danger.

The sky was slowly darkening, and tens of thousands of civilians had gathered at the city gates. The shouts, cries, and pleadings were all in one place, and the people above the walls could only watch and do nothing.

More than 100,000 soldiers from the Cloud Kingdom have gathered next to the abyss, sword and shield soldiers, middle armor soldiers, and archers, arrayed layer by layer, waiting for the battle. Hundreds of ladders have been assembled, just wait for the horn of the attack to sound, and the siege will begin.

"Marshal, I have received news from Liyun Country. A soldier ran up the wall and handed a note to Jun Wuwu.

Seeing Yang Qing's order, Jun Wuwu's face was expressionless. Yang Qing asked Ji Hua to notify the lurking soldiers to gather and prepare for the attack. As long as this side is gathered and the message is returned, it is the time for the attack horn to remember.

This wishful thinking is very good, but unfortunately, the soldiers lurking in the heavenly moat have already been eliminated, even if there are a few fish that slip through the net, it has nothing to do with the overall situation.

"Bring Ji Hua over. Jun Wuwu crumpled the note in his hand and left the city.

......

Yang Qing stood on the gimbal and watched the battlefield on the other side, he was the commander and couldn't go over. Once it passes, the people in the heavenly moat are desperate to stare at him and attack alone, he will be in danger, and the entire combat deployment will be disrupted.

And there is only one way for Yunqiao to retreat, once the Dragon Kingdom army desperately rushes out, he himself has no way to escape. Now he is just waiting for the news inside the Heavenly Trench Yunya, as long as the hidden personnel inside the Heavenly Trench Yunya are ready, he will be able to come to a flank attack inside and outside, and will break through the Heavenly Trench Yunya.

Only the sunset was left in the sky, and everything around me was getting darker. The fog inside the abyss rose, and everything on the other side became hazy. The light of the fire slowly rose, and through the abyss, only the torches connected on the opposite side could be seen.

Both sides waited, and the cries and cries under the gates continued. The confrontation between the two sides made the entire not-so-wide battlefield under the city wall full of slaughter.

"Marshal, there's a message back from the city. Han Wenke has already contacted the intelligence officers, and all of them have been assembled, and there are forty-six people missing, who may have been accidentally captured by the Dragon Kingdom army. Zhuo Yuanwu walked up to the cloud platform and said beside Yang Qing.

Yang Qing took the note in Zhuo Yuanwu's hand, glanced at it, and threw it away directly.

He did not doubt the authenticity of the information, and it was normal for fewer people to do so. It's normal for so many people to sneak in and get caught. As long as the large army is there, those few people have nothing to do with the overall situation.

He had been making operational arrangements for the past few days, and now everything was ready, and as long as he gave the order, the most difficult city to capture would be reduced to ruins in his hands.

A wave of pride poured out of Yang Qing's chest, the corners of his mouth rose, and he looked at the sky and clouds under the sunset, as if he was looking at an old man at dusk.

"Beat the drums of war. ”
