Chapter 448: Sandwich City

The black clouds crushed the city and wanted to destroy it, and the armor light opened to the sun.

Under the scorching sun, the iron rider is like a cloud, and the iron armor is like a tide, roaring back and forth.

If it is a foot soldier, 40,000 people is actually not enough to surround Chang'an, the world's most powerful city.

But 40,000 cavalry was enough.

All kinds of open and dark sentinels were spread out, and at the slightest movement, the cavalry came in a blink of an eye.

In addition to Zhang Te's 10,000 Anding Mansion soldiers and Zhou Zhi's 5,000 Longxi Mansion soldiers, Yang Zheng also recruited the digging army and the Pingli battalion.

It is impossible to decide the winner of this war in a short period of time.

Sima Fu inherited Sima Yi's turtle shrinkage Dafa, and Wang Ji took the camp step by step, not giving Xiliang Iron Cavalry a chance to fight in the field at all.

At first, Pang Qing suggested that a dam be built upstream to divert water to Wang Jijun in Chang'an and Zheng County.

Yang Zheng took his personal guards to inspect, the construction of a dam on the plain, the amount of work is too large, the terrain near Chang'an is slightly higher, and there are eight rivers around, even if the dam is built in Weishui, the water potential will be dispersed by the eight branches, unable to form an impact, at most soaked in the corner of the wall, so that the downstream of Weishui becomes a quagmire.

But then you would be shooting yourself in the foot.

The quagmire swamp restricts your cavalry......

So Yang Zheng simply surrounded Chang'an.

The digging army and the flat base camp worked day and night, plus the government soldiers and the people who transported grain and grass to cooperate, piled up soil in the east of Chang'an City, built a sandwich city, and semi-surrounded and blocked the southeast and southeast sides of Chang'an.

The inside and outside are supplemented with trenches and antlers.

The circumference of the entire Chang'an city wall is only fifty miles.

The semi-encircled sandwich city only takes forty miles, and according to the terrain and water shape, the real length does not need to be forty miles.

Much less than building dams upstream.

In addition to Jiacheng, a large number of fields around Huaili were planted to plant short-term crops such as beans and millet for the war horses.

The land in Guanzhong is still very fertile, sowing the seeds, splashing some water, and the green seedlings will break through the soil on the third day.

When the city was still under construction, Wang Ji of Zheng County couldn't sit still, and the army moved to Lishan, or by the mountain and the underwater village, step by step.

Transferred back from Feng Yi to Wenyang and Pang Hui, the cavalry attacked and harassed many times.

In order to defend Chang'an, Sima Zhao invested enough money, and the cavalry of the Chinese army was also one man and two horses.

The two armies fought and strangled on the Guanzhong Plain.

The Liangzhou army has an advantage in strength, but the enemy generals are extremely strong, and Wen Yang and Pang Hui cooperate with each other to break through the encirclement and chase of the Liangzhou cavalry several times.

Professional cavalry generals like Ma Xun and Meng Yu couldn't stop it.

Chang'an City Road Fan also frequently went out of the city to cooperate.

The elite cavalry of the pro-army was concentrated in the east, and Wen Yuan and Pang would sneak attack the south......

After a few rounds, although it did not change the situation that Chang'an was gradually besieged, it greatly delayed the time.

The sandwich city, which was originally scheduled to be built in 20 days, dragged on for a month and a half, and it was not completely encircled.

It posed a great threat to the people who built the fortifications and the grain and grass in the rear.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Yang Zheng was a little annoyed, "Eight thousand cavalry, flanked on both sides, actually let four thousand enemy horses run away?" ”

Meng Yu, Ma Xun, and Tian Xu all lowered their heads.

Even Liu Heng, who had always been arrogant in the past, was silent.

A few days ago, he was quite unconvinced to capture and kill Wen Yang, and he was swept off the horse in the first battle.

Pang Hui, like Yang Zheng, also fought from the sea of corpses and blood in Luo Gu, and he has experienced a lot of battles over the years.

This person is rough on the surface, but in fact he is very good at grasping the situation on the battlefield.

If it wasn't elite, he and Wen Yang pounced like hungry wolves......

Although there were not many casualties, the blow to morale was enormous.

Since the debut of the Liangzhou Army, it has been invincible, and it has never been so aggrieved.

"The Luoyang Chinese army is already elite, and there are generals such as Wenyang and Pang Hui, so you might as well leave a few gaps in the east to lure the enemy." Zhang Tejin said.

Yang Zheng shook his head, "This plan may be useful for the grassland tribes, but Sima Fu and Wang Ji are both people who are well versed in the art of war, and they will never be fooled." ”

If Wang Ji is Sima Zhao's minions, then Wen Yang and Pang Hui are Wang Ji's minions.

The impact of a general on the battlefield cannot be ignored.

Sima Shi Huainan rebelled, Wen Yang almost changed the situation in the world with his personal bravery, if Wen Qin gave some strength, I am afraid that Biqiu Jian would not end hastily.

Pang Hui can only be regarded as a general, but Wen Yang has reached the level of a god general.

If these two people are not removed, this big war will not be able to start.

In the past, time was on Yang Zheng's side, but now, Sima Clan swept Huainan, and there was no future trouble in the Central Plains, and time was on his side.

"Set up the city first!" Yang Zheng rubbed his forehead.

Pang Hui and Wen Yang are like two flies, buzzing in their ears every day, which makes people upset.

The road is walked step by step, and the rice is stuttered.

If Sima Fu and Wang Ji are not cut off, Chang'an will always be as stable as Mount Tai.

The plan has been decided, and the cavalry will be exhausted, blocking the east of Chang'an, and allowing the digger army and the Pingli battalion to fill the last few gaps in the city.

Three small earth hills were built in the east again, which were connected with the Jiacheng, and bed crossbows and catapults were set up on them, which could directly attack Chang'an City and shelter the Jiacheng.

Yang Zheng ordered the soldiers to shout loudly, the horns and war drums sounded in unison, and the cavalry dragged up smoke and dust, all day long.

Create a false impression that Chang'an is being stormed.

Wang Ji watched from the sidelines for two days.

But Chang'an is too important to the world, and there is Sima Fu in the city.

Wang Ji led the army into Baling, less than 100 miles away from Chang'an, and looked at Yang Zheng from a distance across Bashui.

Yang Zheng stared at the sand table, Wang Ji's army and Chang'an echoed each other, and it was undoubtedly a fool's dream to attack Chang'an at this pass.

The 40,000 elites of the Chinese army are hanging behind their backs, and the ghosts of Pang Hui and Wenyang's cavalry are not gone.

The situation has once again entered a state of confrontation.

On top of the dirt mountain, the teeth stand on three sides, and the sound of hunting in the early autumn wind.

"Report to the general, the old and weak women and children in Chang'an have all arrived." Meng Guan came to report.

"Let them eat and shout in the city!"

"Yui!"

After a short time, the cries in the city shook the sky.

"Son, Yang Junhou has divided the land and houses for us, open the city gate quickly, our family will reunite, and we will go to farm with me......"

"Ah Weng, Yang Junhou is a saint, don't fight for the Sima family anymore......"

"Husband......

Jiacheng is only a stone's throw away from Chang'an City.

If you have good eyes, you can see your family clearly.

Mothers call their sons, sons call their fathers, and wives call their husbands......

There is a special penetrating power in the sound, which is noisy but extremely shocking.

"Awen!"

"Mother!"

There was an immediate response from the walls.

But Sima Fu's reaction was also extremely fast, and a row of armor soldiers rushed to the city wall with swords.

"This is deliberately done by the Yang thief, deceiving you and others! Chang'an City is not broken, you and other parents, wives and children still have a way to live, once the city is broken, your parents, wives and children will become useless people, Yang thieves have always been tyrannical and unreasonable, how can they be allowed to survive? ”

An old voice rang out over the city walls.

Against the backdrop of a bright long knife, it is particularly convincing.

Yang Zheng plundered in Guanzhong, burned down villages, and trampled on fertile land, although he gained population, money and food in a short period of time, but he also inevitably lost his reputation.

"The imperial court has sent 100,000 troops to the west, and it will break through Liangzhou in the near future. Sima Fu raised his arms under the escort of the armor soldiers, and with each word, the guards repeated it loudly, overpowering the chaotic shouts of the people.

"These things will be rewarded to you first, and then they will be rewarded when the Yang thief is repelled!"

On the city walls, hundreds of large chests were opened.

Under the scorching sun, the gold and silver coins shine brightly.

Yang Zheng smiled bitterly, holding a knife in one hand and gold and silver in the other, everyone knows how to choose.

In fact, most of those who were driven out of the city were young men who assisted in defending the city.

Sima Fu would not be stupid enough to drive the defenders out of the city, otherwise he would mutinied on the spot.

"Smash Sima to death for me!" Yang Zheng waved his hand, and the crossbow and catapult on the earth mountain responded to the sound.

Short spear-like crossbows and cannons the size of human heads whizzed across the sky.

Above the eastern city, screams were repeated.

The armor soldiers beside Sima Fu immediately raised their iron shields to protect Sima Fu from the city.

Crossbow bolts pierced the bodies of three men in quick succession, and the cannons smashed the defenders into a pool of flesh.

It's not insignificant.

But the accuracy of this thing is very poor, effective killing is impossible, only covering attacks.

On the city wall, the terrible screams shook Amano.

As always, the Sima family's luck was particularly good, and they went down to the city in embarrassment under the escort of the armor.

Instead, the old and weak women and children in the city knelt down in the direction of Yang Zheng's banner.

"I beg Yang Junhou to let my son go."

"Leave me alone."

……

The cry shook the earth.

Originally, they were allowed to break the morale of the defenders, but now they are shaking the hearts of their own troops.

Yang Zheng shook his head, let them go, who will let me go?

"Send them back to Guzang."

There is little point in leaving these people, Chang'an City is really not so easy to break.

Sima Fu is almost eighty years old, and he dares to lose the stone in person, and in the dangerous place, he is worthy of being the old bird of the Sima family.

The cries in the city quickly stopped, and Yang Zheng's ears were much clearer.

On the wall of Chang'an, a corpse was left.

The living people hide behind pheasants, so that the effect of bed crossbows and catapults is weakened.

"Keep banging for me!" Yang Zheng never gets tired of it.

Crossbow arrows, cannonballs, and fire oil crossed the city walls and smashed into the city, and for a while, the flames were bright and black smoke rose into the sky.

Fighting, fighting is a momentum.

If you don't put some pressure on you, you really think that you don't have the strength to break through Chang'an.

At this moment, in the east of the earth mountain, the horse's hooves shook and the shouts shook the sky.

"Capture and kill the Yang thief!"

"Capture and kill the Yang thief!"

A cavalry rushed to the scene.

On the left is a wind flag with the word "Pang", and on the right is a wind flag with the word "Wen".

People are like tigers, horses are like long dragons, and the momentum is rolling in from afar.

Approaching the earth mountain, the momentum gradually slowed down, standing an arrow away.

The two horsemen came out of the crowd.

One person has a black helmet and black armor, a strong body, holding a long knife, and one person has silver armor and red silk, with a long lance upside down, and a tiger's back and bee waist, which is majestic.

"Yang Zheng can come to die!" The black-armored man roared.

Yang Zheng's left and right generals were angry.

"Who am I, it turned out to be Pang Hui, don't come unharmed?" When the old people met, Yang Zheng was greatly moved, and his eyes fell on the young general beside him, this person should be the world-famous Wenyang.

"Hmph, if you know that you are a national thief that day, you will definitely be broken into thousands of pieces." Pang Hui was not ashamed.

This guy doesn't want any face at all.

If it weren't for Yang Zheng, Pang Hui might not be able to break out of Luo Valley alive.

Although I'm not a person all the way now, there's no need to be so undignified, right?

Yang Zheng laughed, "Hahaha, Pang Hui, Pang Hui, you are still so unkind, I, Yang Zheng, am a national thief, and your master Sima Zhao is a loyal minister?" ”

Pang Hui sharpened his head and drilled into the Sima family's camp back then, and now he is even more iron-hearted.

He was used to being brazen, but Wen Yang beside him kept his head down and was silent.

Yang Zheng's heart moved, Pang Hui was hopeless, and Wen Yang might be able to provoke.

It's best to be young and vigorous on him.

This is the god general of the ceiling of combat power in this era!

But in history, Wenyang did not escape the fate of the Yi three tribes after all.
