Guo Han's actions in Liangzhou were not unpleasant, and in just a few days, orders were quickly transmitted to all the cities under his rule, so that they could strictly defend and not easily go out of the city to fight.

At the same time, Liangzhou City, which is bound to become the center of gravity of the Vietnamese army's attack, is even more vigorous, and the walls are clear, and it has done enough to defend to the end early on, not giving the enemy any opportunity to take advantage of.

Nanyang, another key city, he also made a series of arrangements early, in addition to sending a few people with elite generals Xuanhuai and others to help defend it, he also arranged to quickly transport a large amount of grain hoarded there to Liangzhou in batches.

Although Liangzhou itself also has abundant supplies, who would be afraid of having more food in the warehouse when they have made up their minds to engage in a protracted offensive and defensive battle with the Vietnamese army?

As one of the most important granaries in the entire Central Plains, the grain in Nanyang City has always accumulated a lot of savings, even if it is to increase manpower and animal power to speed up transportation, it is impossible to move it in a short time.

In addition, the weather is now severe and the snow is closed, making the grain transshipment more and more difficult, and at the end of the first month, Nanyang's grain storage is only less than 30% transported to Liangzhou. At this moment, an army of 50,000 people had rushed straight to the city.

At that time, there was still a considerable number of grain wagons on the official road against the wind, and suddenly saw a large army of black pressure pressing up in front of them, which frightened the people who were requisitioned and shouted, and immediately turned around and ran. The thousands of soldiers who were responsible for escorting them all the way to Liangzhou wanted to suppress them, but they didn't have time to make a move.

Then all these soldiers and grain wagons fell into the hands of the thousands of horsemen who were killed in front of them, and those who were clever enough surrendered on the spot, while those who tried to flee or resist were almost all killed under the assault of the elite cavalry. Only a handful of lucky ones were able to get out and run back to report the news.

When this cavalry took control of the scene and reported the situation to the rear, Sun Ning was naturally very happy.

He was still worried about the food problem before, so he went deep into the hinterland of Liangzhou and got a wave of grain, so it seems that there must be more grain in Nanyang City, and he personally led the army to capture Nanyang.

In fact, after careful calculation, Sun Ning and Nanyang City do have a great fate.

I think that when he just crossed, he suddenly knew that the world was in turmoil, and his emperor was almost a lost dog, so he could only temporarily escape into the mountains and fall into the grass, and then the first city he took was this Nanyang City.

It was only later, because the power of the Guo clan in Liangzhou was too large, and it was not Nanyang that only a few thousand people could compete with it at that time, that Sun Ning had to be threatened by it, entered Liangzhou alone, and became a chess piece in their hands. m.

After that, Sun Ning continued to expand his power after adventures again and again, until today...... It can be said that if Nanyang City had not been taken at the beginning, everything would have been very different, and there might not be today's Dayue Imperial Court.

Therefore, when he came to Nanyang City and looked at this very familiar city from afar, he also felt a burst of emotion in his heart.

Unexpectedly, ten years later, this Nanyang is still an important granary of the Central Plains, and it has become the granary of the Guo family in Liangzhou. As long as it is taken, it will greatly weaken the strength of Liangzhou and lay a solid foundation for the next real sweep of Liangzhou!

With his mind turning, Sun Ning waved his hand and gave the first order: "Go and send a message to the defenders in the city, as long as they open the city and surrender at this time, the court will not be responsible for everything they have done, but the safety of the soldiers and civilians in the city can be guaranteed, and there will be no crime in the autumn." In addition, the original officials, such as the city keepers, can also continue to be officials. ”

Salute first and then soldiers, and if you can enter the city without a fight, it is the best result.

Sun Ning's strategy to pacify Liangzhou this time was like this, but after officially stepping into the territory that the Guo clan had been operating for many years, few cities were willing to surrender as easily as those cities before. I just don't know what the attitude of Nanyang, who has only fallen into the hands of the Guo family in the past ten years, is.

The answer was soon revealed, and when some of his subordinates went to the city to surrender, they decisively responded with a flurry of arrows from above, almost killing people. Their attitude is naturally undoubtedly revealed-Nanyang will never fall.

"Your Majesty, it seems that there is only one way to attack." Aribe said with a slight frown.

As the former granary of the Central Plains and the current logistics center of Liangzhou, Nanyang City can be regarded as a fortified city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

At the beginning, Sun Ning and the others relied on disguise to deceive the defenders in the city, so that they could quickly take the city. Otherwise, if you really attack with a clear sword and a gun, it will be impossible to have the slightest chance of winning.

But now?

Now Sun Ning is no longer the original mourning dog, his troops are sufficient, and in the face of the same strong city, it is naturally impossible to have any worries.

"Since they don't know what to do, let them know how powerful my army is! Attack from three sides, southeast, north and south, and put enough pressure on them! Sun Ning immediately made a decision and gave an order.

The soldiers and horses under his command have long been gearing up, waiting for this moment.

Especially those soldiers who still bear the responsibility for their crimes and want to kill the enemy and capture the city to make meritorious contributions to clear their charges, after learning the order, they roared even more, and under the urging of the drums, they brazenly launched the most fierce attack on the three gates of Nanyang.

In the face of the surging Dayue elite soldiers like a tide, many soldiers defending the city also beat drums in their hearts. If they really had to choose, they would definitely choose to surrender directly.

However, under the urging of several generals such as Xuanhuai, the new general, these soldiers could only organize a decent defense to deal with it, even if they panicked and wanted to surrender without their lives.

Suddenly, arrows rained down on the city, stones flew like hailstones, and drums and trumpets and shouts were like thunderbolts, shaking the entire space.

As soon as the battle began, it quickly entered a white-hot situation.

After the baptism of Youxian Pass, the Vietnamese army has more and more experience in attacking fortified positions, and it is naturally more orderly to fight.

Although this Nanyang City is high enough and the city walls are thick enough, there is still a big gap compared with the Youxian Pass, which is not open for thousands of people.

At least one point is on the surface, the terrain here is even wider, enough for tens of thousands of troops to completely open up the formation, instead of thousands of rotations, thus completely revealing the superiority of the Vietnamese army in terms of strength.

The soldiers defending the city were only 10,000, although they occupied a favorable position, but under the continuous offensive, from the very beginning, they only felt that their manpower was overstretched, and they were somewhat insufficient.

Later, all the young and strong men in the people of the city could only be forcibly recruited to defend the city together.

In this way, it was able to reach a balance with the soldiers and horses outside the city, temporarily withstood this attack after another, and fought for three days in a row, without losing the city.

Some people died, but not completely......
