Chapter 1327: We Have to Surrender

The reason why it is surprising is because Wei Yuntian and they have not yet launched an attack, and thousands of Dongying people in the city actually raised the white flag and surrendered......

Wei Yuntian fought differently from Lemon, he led his troops to attack the city in no hurry, but first stabilized his camp, and then sent the Flying Wing Guard to cooperate with the Yizhou Guard to search the mountain, uprooted all the hidden Dongying strongholds in the mountains and forests, and then chose a commanding height to station.

It took a lot of effort to transport a few long-range guns, and at this commanding height, they could overlook the entire Fengshan City, and the range of their cannons was enough to reach the city wall, which was enough.

Although the Fengshan city wall is extremely strong, Wei Yuntian is not in a hurry, anyway, it will be slowly bombarded, and when it collapses, it will be pulled down.

Two light armies of 200 men were dispatched to bypass the mountains and forests, and with the cooperation of the local Gaojuli guerrillas, they raided the grain road behind Fengshan, and also set fires everywhere to create panic.

During the day, light cavalry was sent to circle outside the city, and the rear was beating drums and making noise, and the air cannons were also rattling, making a state of attacking the city at any time, but there was no attack.

At night, they also sent the heavenly army to drop incendiary eggs and explosive bombs on the military facilities and barracks in the city, so that the defenders in the city were startled three times in the night, and they could not even sleep.

But it's also strange, Wei Yuntian made such a big move, but the Dongying people in the city didn't react at all, not only did they not see a single outcropping soldier on the city wall, but also a team came out to make a tentative attack, and they didn't even send a reconnaissance team to investigate.

This made Wei Yuntian deeply admired in addition to doubts, the little devil was so calm, it can be seen that the guard is very calm, this is really a very powerful opponent.

According to the information provided by the Gao Juli guerrilla army, there are at least 8,000 elite troops stationed in Fengshan City, plus 10,000 logistics personnel.

Moreover, they were extremely well-equipped and quite powerful, with more than 50 large artillery pieces in the city alone, as well as at least 500 iron artillery teams and 3,000 heavy armored cavalry.

Wei Yuntian and the others only have more than 10,000 people in total, and the strength of the two sides is almost the same, if the Dongying people decide to defend the fortified city, they will have to pay a considerable price if they want to attack it. Everyone unanimously agreed that there could be no forcible attack, and that two methods of warfare could only be adopted: surprise attack or siege.

However, both methods have certain difficulties, if you want to besiege Fengshan City, you must send at least 3,000 troops to bypass the city, set up camp on the road behind them, and completely cut off their logistical supplies, especially grain and grass.

Because according to intelligence, there is a relative shortage of grain and grass in the city, and in fact, after the Dongying people invaded Goguryeo again, all the departments have been facing a serious shortage of grain and grass.

There are not many fields in the north of Goguryeo, and under the war for many years, there are a lot of barrenness, and now it is the height of summer, although there is a large number of fertile fields in the south, but it has not yet reached the harvest season, and it is only a green seedling at present, and the grain can not be planted until autumn.

Therefore, the more than 200,000 garrisons in Gaojuli can only rely on sea transportation for supplies, which was okay before, but now after the all-out war with Yanyun and Rus, the sea transportation is also not smooth.

The Yanyun Navy even sent several small fleets to target their transport ships, and in the past month since the start of the war, hundreds of grain ships have been captured, sunk, or burned.

Fengshan City is far away on the northern and western fronts, and the replenishment it gets is even more limited, although it is still unknown how much grain is stored in the city, but it will certainly not last for a month.

Therefore, as long as they can completely cut off their grain routes, Fengshan City will not be self-defeating.

However, it was extremely difficult for the 3,000-strong troops to make a detour from the mountains and forests, and they could not carry large artillery and sufficient supplies, and the established defense line was not strong enough.

The siege was difficult, and the surprise attack was not easy, because the defenders of the city did not move at all, indicating that everything was ready.

Even if the cannons on the high ground blew down a gap in the city wall, they would inevitably set up all kinds of obstacles and be ready to fight, and it would be extremely difficult to break through, mainly because the casualties would be very large.

Xiao Chen, Wei Yuntian, Sima Zhongping, and the first consideration of the others was casualties, and the strategic policy formulated by Zhuge Xiaosheng was very clear, in the battle in Gaojuli, the Yan Yun army was only involved, and it was not appropriate to launch a strong attack that would lead to heavy losses on their side.

To put it bluntly, you can eat meat and drink soup, but try not to gnaw hard bones......

The main thing is to let the Rus fight.

Because the outcome of this battle can actually be predicted from the beginning, the Dongying people will inevitably be defeated, it is only a matter of time, in this case, we really have no need to consume troops...... We've already spent a lot of money.

But just when Xiao Chen and the others had a headache about what siege method they had to adopt to minimize their casualties, three days later, a white flag was erected at the head of Fengshan City?

The big guy's first reaction to this was that the little devil wanted to surrender, and there must be some conspiracy in it!

Immediately send an order to the whole army and prepare for battle!

But he also ordered the artillery on the heights to stop bombarding for the time being, and see what the hell the little devil is trying to do?

After the cannon stopped firing, I saw three big iron baskets hanging down from the city wall, and three people waving small white flags came down from the iron baskets, and while walking slowly, they shouted in Huaxia, Rus, and Dongying languages Don't shoot and don't let go of arrows, we are here to negotiate!

it?

Xiao Chen and the others behind the telescope looked very fresh, this is really sending someone to negotiate, we haven't started a war yet, and there are no casualties on both sides, if you negotiate now, is it a little early?

But I have to say that these three envoys are very experienced and very sincere, when they walked in front of Xiao Chen and their formation, they slowly put down the white flag, and then took off all the clothes on their bodies.

Under the surprised gaze of Xiao Chen and the others, they turned around several times, indicating that they did not carry any weapons on them......

People have done everything to this point, Xiao Chen has to treat him politely, and hurriedly sent the flying wing guards to greet him, and asked the envoys to quickly put on their clothes and invite them to my Zhongjun tent.

In fact, there was only one envoy, a young officer in the Fengshan garrison, named Yushan Sumiyoshi, about twenty years old, a fat man about the same size as a fat man, and the other two were just translators.

Yushan Sumiyoshi didn't know if it was hot or too nervous along the way, his face was flushed, he was sweating profusely, and he looked extremely embarrassed, but his expression was very happy, and he always grinned as soon as he came in, and he didn't know what he was happy about?

"Yushan-jun, my name is Wei Yuntian, and I am the chief general of Yanyun, I don't know what advice Yushan-jun has here?" Wei Yuntian asked.

You can't really come to surrender, right?
