It was difficult to start construction in the cold winter season, but the Western Wei army that entered the Heluo area was nearly 100,000 horses, and after some haste to build a long siege outside the city of Kim, and built a mountain of earth to the south of the city, piled up an earthen beam that led directly to the head of the city of Kim, and then launched a rapid attack on the city.

The old city of Kim Yong Kim, which was destroyed by the Eastern Wei army, is now being rebuilt on the site of the city. It is precisely because of this inconsistent approach of the predecessors destroying the city and the later generations building the city that it caused Yuwentai's ridicule.

Today's Kim Yong City is far inferior to the original city in terms of scale and architectural ornity, but its military defense function has been greatly strengthened, and it is also the center of the Northern Qi Dynasty's new series of city defenses between Heluo.

Originally, more than 20,000 people gathered in the city, but due to the indiscriminate command of Gao Guiyan, the king of Pingqin, the division and brigade were defeated by Luoxi, and only Dugu Yongye hastily gathered thousands of defeated troops and withdrew to the city to defend it.

After returning to the city, Dugu Yongye actively repaired the city defenses, but fortunately, in addition to the lack of troops in the city, the other ordnance and material reserves are still quite abundant, even if they are besieged by the regiments, they can hold on and wait for help.

After the Western Wei army surrounded the city, it also arranged for the captives to surrender to the city to shout and persuade them to surrender, but they were all ordered by Dugu Yongye to be shot and expelled, refusing to surrender to the Western Wei.

Although he did not have any fathers and ancestors to rely on in the Eastern Wei and Northern Qi dynasties, he relied on his own talents to win the appreciation of Emperor Gao Cheng of Wenxiang and His Majesty the current emperor, and was repeatedly reused.

Dugu Yongye's stubbornness naturally angered Yu Wentai, and with all the siege fortifications such as Changwei and Tushan set up, he immediately ordered an attack on Kim Yong City.

The next offensive was lackluster, although the Western Wei army attacked fiercely, but the defenders in the city were also tenacious, fighting fiercely with each other on the city, and did not give in to each other, so that the battle situation once fell into a very stalemate state.

In order to capture Kim Yong City as soon as possible, so that he could meet the reinforcements of the Northern Qi Dynasty without distraction, Yu Wentai personally came to the city to supervise the battle every day despite the severe cold and wind, and also built various siege equipment to assist in the siege, including Li Boshan's Heyang cannon with his repeated exploits.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the sharp weapon of the Heyang cannon has repeatedly worked on the Heluo battlefield, and it has naturally attracted the attention of people in the country. When the two sides had not lost peace before, Yuwentai had taken advantage of the Jingzhou army to submit the battle report, and ordered Li Boshan to elaborate on the method of making this ordnance, and also imitated it, but the power and accuracy were quite different from the traditional trebuchet, and the practicality was not very strong.

He suspected in his heart that Li Boshan should have something to hide, but he didn't care too much about it.

After all, at that time, Li Boshan was still his hardcore confidant and one of the most outstanding generals under his command, and there was no need to coerce and centrifuge him for the sake of an ordnance, anyway, his people and things had to be used for his own use. At that time, there was no strong force to persecute it, and now that Li Boshan is out of control, there is no chance to coerce again.

The Heyang cannon built this time also did not bring any surprises to Yuwentai, the accuracy of the stone cannon was too bad, and even because the weight of the counterweight was too large during the test firing, the cannon stone fell off directly, and it could not even be launched.

Seeing this scene, Yu Wentai couldn't help but be angry, and directly ordered these stone cannon mounts to be dragged back to the Henan city where his army was stationed and idle, and no longer continued to fiddle with the embarrassing people.

In fact, the progress of the siege of Kim Yong Cheng is also a relatively normal state nowadays, but because Li Bi's previous record was too bright, it inevitably made Yu Wentai have higher expectations for this battle. Once things return to a normal trajectory, he will inevitably have some sense of disparity in his heart, and he will become impetuous.

If Kim Yong Seong's offensive could not make Woo Moon Tae feel bad, then the next turn of events will be a real blow to him.

Early in the morning, after getting up and having a simple breakfast, Yu Wentai planned to gather his generals to deploy today's siege mission, but as soon as he got up, he suddenly felt a trance in front of him, and then sat back down.

"Lord

What's wrong with it?"

Yuwen Hu, who had been paying close attention to his uncle's physical condition, suddenly panicked in his heart when he saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Yuwentai's body that was still leaning back, and asked in a hurry.

Yu Wentai didn't say anything, just sat silently with his forehead propped up, and after a while, he felt that the dizziness gradually subsided, and then he raised his head and waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay. Go to the big tent, and don't let the generals wait long."

Yuwen Hu was still a little uneasy, and seeing that Yu Wentai was standing up again, he couldn't help but advise: "There have been many stalemates in the war recently, and I'm afraid there will not be a breakthrough in a short period of time. Besides, there has been a lot of wind and snow for several days, so for the sake of Uncle's body, there is really no need to be on the front line to supervise the battle, so it is better to live in the city after distributing the task."

After hearing this, Yu Wentai waved his hand and said, "Although the major events of soldiers are small, there is really a difference between life and death. Today, 100,000 soldiers are hanging here because of my thoughts, how can they delay the military plane because of laziness for a while? I have been supervising the battle for days, and the enemy city is still difficult to overcome, and once one day does not come out, the crowd will be slack! It's not just the siege here, the big secretary came yesterday to tell Heyang about the predicament, and today it needs to be reinforced."

He was full of military priorities, and only when he kept himself busy would he feel full, no longer thinking about his worries, and after putting on a thick coat, he went straight to the big tent in the city.

Seeing that his uncle was so stubborn and didn't listen to advice, Yuwen Hu felt helpless in his heart, so he could only hurriedly follow, and arranged several doctors who were appointed to join the army with him, such as Yin Buxian, in his own personal army.

The generals in front of the big tent had already been waiting here, including Zhao Gui of the Pillar State who had just arrived with a batch of heavy supplies.

After Yuwentai entered the account, he signaled all the generals to enter the account together, first listened briefly to the general situation of the military affairs of the battalions, and then ordered a general to lead 3,000 men and horses and carry a batch of supplies to the north to support Da Xiwu and others.

Yesterday, Da Xiwu sent an envoy back here to report on the military situation and recount the difficulties, and Yuwentai heard that they had the intention of retreating and resting.

But as he said to Yuwen Hu before, at present, the whole army is holding up with the momentum of winning the first battle, and in such a difficult combat environment, once the slightest retreat, then the morale of the whole army will decline.

Therefore, at present, they can only continue to grit their teeth and persevere, try their best to expand their first-mover advantage, and suppress the personnel forces arranged by the Northern Qi in Heluo, so that when the Northern Qi reinforcements arrive in Heluo, there is not much home advantage to use, and they have been rushing all the way to this point to seek war, and the two sides can increase their chances of victory when they fight again.

Da Xiwu's men and horses along the way cannot be easily retreated, not only related to morale, but also in terms of overall tactical arrangement, there is also a need for such a force to lock the enemy's reinforcements in the advance and retreat channel. Although this attack was only in Heyang, it was a pressure on the entire Northern Qi court, and only by maintaining the rapid offensive on this side could the enemy's reinforcements be more and more unprepared.

After arranging reinforcements for Da Xiwu's troops, Yuwentai began to arrange today's siege again.

At present, Kim Yong City is the fulcrum of the entire Heluo offensive and defensive front, although it is said that the Western Wei Dynasty has also occupied a large number of Northern Qi cities since its march, but the location of these cities is not as important as Kim Yong City. The sooner you take Kim, the sooner you can turn your first-mover advantage into a home-court advantage, and then the fortress will be able to meet the Northern Qi reinforcements.

However, just as Yuwentai was still arranging the battle task, Wei Chi Gang, who was temporarily appointed as the governor of the capital in his account, hurriedly entered the account and sent a note to Yuwenhu in the side seat. After Yuwen Hu saw the content of the note, his eyes suddenly froze, and he handed the note forward while Yuwentai was arranging the task above.

The content of the note was the news that the men and horses of Da Xiwu's troops were attacked and defeated in the early morning, and Li Bi, who was stationed at the foot of the mountain, led his army to meet the defeated men and horses, and ordered someone to send the news here.

After Yuwentai saw this information, he couldn't help but gasp, but he still tried to restrain his emotions, and the expression on his face remained unchanged, first waving his hand to signal Yuwenhu to retreat for the time being, and then looked at Zhao Gui and said, "It is estimated that the time will come, and the Eastern Thief reinforcements should also be arriving soon. The defenders of Kim Yong City are still stubborn, but they are just a group of stubborn thieves who are struggling to survive. Then I asked the great uncle to order the troops to attack the city, and I will go north to set up a net to wait for the thief to come and surrender!"

Zhao Guigang arrived at the front line from Yiyang not long ago, and after hearing this, he did not doubt him, and it was not a difficult task to supervise the siege of the city, so he got up and received the order.

After Zhao Gui and the generals got up to say goodbye and left the big tent, Yuwentai still didn't get up, his face gradually turned pale, sweat gushed out on his forehead, his hand tightly grabbed the edge of the table in front of him, his knuckles became white because of the force, and he exhaled hard between his teeth and said, "Quickly, quickly Yin joins the army and enters the account!"
