Chapter 283: The Siege

On the shore of Yilong Lake, Qin Liangyu and others were sitting together to discuss countermeasures.

"This stone screen is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it's really like a king eight shells." Mu Tianbo said a little irritably.

After the two sieges, not only did they make no progress, but they lost six or seven hundred soldiers.

Mu Tianbo's soldiers suffered heavy losses, and Qin Liangyu's white-pole soldiers suffered great losses, with nearly three hundred white-pole soldiers killed in the two sieges.

I have to say that Sha Yuan's vision is still very vicious, and he found the weakness of the white pole soldier at a glance.

He ordered people to melt all the useless iron tools in the city and produce a large number of iron bones, which were one and a half feet long and the hammer weighed two and a half pounds. With a hammer, you can easily smash a piece of green brick.

If you fight on flat ground, you can also use long weapons to restrain the opponent, but the close combat during the siege gives the opponent plenty of room to play. Most of the white pole soldiers who were damaged died under this iron skeleton.

Although less than 300 people died, Ma Xianglin was distressed.

This is the second battle to quell the rebellion, if you continue to fight like this, even if you capture this stone screen, your own white pole soldiers must not lose more than half? What about the next battle?

"Mother, you can't attack anymore, you have to find a way!"

"What can you do?" Qin Liangyu smiled and said, as if he didn't care about it.

For her, she has experienced a lot in this life, and this setback is really nothing.

"Can you besiege but not attack, and cut off the water source in the city?" Ma Xianglin didn't speak, and one of his lieutenants spoke.

"It's not impossible to be somewhere else. However, the general is not a local, and he has never heard of the legend of this stone screen. Mu Tianbo interjected. I've seen it in books. According to legend, Shiping County was built on a turtle shell of a great god floating on the water, and when the turtle shell was chiseled, it was the water layer. Therefore, the residents in the city dug wells, the northwest city is under the foot, the southeast city is three or five feet, after the digging through, the water source will be inexhaustible, inexhaustible.

The water well in the city is eye-to-eye, and the bucket accidentally left by the owner will be found in the west well in a few days. In this case, how can they cut off their water supply? ”

"It's so amazing?" The lieutenant's eyes widened.

Mu Tianbo nodded.

"Xianglin, how long do we have enough food to eat?" Qin Liangyu thought for a moment and asked Ma Xianglin.

"About ten days."

"Then surround them!"

Qin Liangyu made up his mind. If you don't count Mu Tianbo's subordinates, the rebels in this Shiping City are not much less than her white pole soldiers, and they occupy the advantage of defending the city, and there is really no chance of winning the storm. simply enclose the stone screen into an ancient city, and after a long time, the rebels in the city will definitely be defeated!

"But there will only be more food in the city than us, and I'm afraid we won't last long!?" Ma Xianglin said with a frown.

"Isn't Grandpa like this?" Qin Liangyu said with a smile.

"Am I here?" Mu Tianbo said suspiciously, and then after thinking about it, he understood what Qin Liangyu meant. "I forgot about it. I'm going to send people to the state capitals to fetch grain! Let's surround this stone screen to death, not two months in a month, not two months. I don't believe that their food will be eaten until next year! Mu Tianbo also made up his mind.

He is different from Qin Liangyu, no matter how Qin Liangyu is, he is also the Tusi of Sichuan, he is the Duke of Qianguo and the chief military officer of Yunnan in Shizhen Yunnan, it is his obligation to suppress the rebellion, and it is his right to requisition food!

"That's very good."

With a clue, smiles appeared on everyone's faces again.

And Pu Ming and others in the city are also laughing and chatting together.

"Lao Sha, your hammer armor-breaking plan is really high! Although the armor and stomach of those white-pole soldiers are invincible, they are still broken bones and tendons when they are hammered. I see what else he Qin Liangyu can do this time. Pu Mingsheng took a bite of the dish and said to Sha Yuan with an admiring face.

"It's not a clever plan, blunt weapons have broken armor since ancient times, but their armor is really powerful. People were stoned to death, but the armor was not damaged, and I don't know what material it was made of. ”

"Who knows, but anyway, if we can find a way to deal with them. There are not many white-pole soldiers as we do, and in my opinion, they will not be able to take this city. ”

"It's for the best." After the two sieges of the white pole soldiers, the sand source was also settled.

"Father, it's been two days since the last siege, and they don't fight or retreat, what are they holding back?" Compared with the two of them, Sha Dingzhou thinks more, and is not as optimistic as the two.

"I don't know." Sha Dingzhou's words were like a gust of cold wind, which blew Sha Yuan much calmer and made him think of a possibility. "How long will the food in the city last?"

"I haven't counted it, but it's still okay for two or three months, right? Why is this asked? Pu Mingsheng wondered.

"Count it. I'm worried that Qin Liangyu will trap us dead in the city. ”

"Trapped in the city? How is it possible, how much grain and grass can they bring? Hold on to the sky for half a month. What's next? ”

"Don't forget, Mu Tianbo is also there. He is not only the Duke of Qianguo, but also the general soldier of Yunnan, as long as he is willing, all the state capitals have to send him food! ”

Pu Mingming is silent, but there is really such a possibility. "If that's the case, we'll have to plan for it earlier."

"What are you going to do?" Sha Dingzhou asked curiously.

"The intention of a strategic shift."

"Strategic transfer?" Sha Dingzhou didn't understand.

"It's just running away!" Sha Yuan couldn't stand it anymore and explained.

The style of the next conversation changed drastically, and they began to talk about how to break through and escape.

And Qin Liangyu and the others outside the city were leisurely. Mu Tianbo sent people to Yuanjiang Mansion, Weiyuan Prefecture, Zhenyuan Mansion and other places that were a little closer to them to transfer grain.

But soon he discovered another problem.

Even Fenghua, which was closest to them, would have to travel six or seven days, not to mention places such as Weiyuan and Zhenyuan, which were farther away.

After thinking about it, he found Ma Xianglin.

"Brother Ma, now we have a problem."

"Grandpa, please speak."

"I'm afraid we won't be able to raise food from other state capitals."

"Grandpa, my mother has already known about this, but many generals are here today, for fear of causing unnecessary panic, and I am planning to find an opportunity to tell my grandfather."

"So what should I do?"

"Stay quiet just yet. The closest to here is Yuanjiang, can you let them support more food? ”

Mu Tianbo frowned when he heard this.

To be honest, Fenghua had just experienced a turmoil, and he didn't really want to get more food from Na Song. But the current situation is too urgent.

"I'll let them do as much as they can." Mu Tianbo sighed, the matter has come to this, and there is no other way to think of it.

Fortunately, Fenghua was indeed very close to Shiping, and the news was quickly sent to Na Song.

"Uncle Quan, the Duke of Qianguo is now besieging Shiping, but the army is short of food and grass and needs support. You ordered someone to open the storehouse, organize manpower, and transport all the grain to Shiping. Na Song solemnly ordered Na Quan, Pu Mingming and the others fled in a hurry, and the grain in the treasury did not have time to be taken away, but the quantity was not much.

"The First Evolution"

"Yes, young master." He walked out with all the command.

Na Song called Na Tuo again.

"Go and gather all the people of the city, for I have something to announce."

"Yes, young master." Nato also walked out.

After Fenghua was recaptured, the people who fled to Gongshun Mansion rushed back as soon as possible. Half an hour later, they were summoned. Na Song stood on the temporary high platform at the entrance of the government office, looking at the villagers, who were familiar or unfamiliar.

"Hello everyone. Convening everyone today, in fact, there is one thing to ask for. ”

"Young master, it doesn't hurt to say it!" As soon as Na Song's voice fell, a voice cried out.

"That's right! Young master, if you have anything to do, just tell me! ”

The people in the audience looked at the thin Na Song and responded loudly.

Tianfu was merciful and treated them well, but at this time the old man died, leaving a twelve-year-old young master to ask them to do things, and there was no reason to refuse.

"Everyone also knows that the general reputation of the state of Ami rebelled. A few days ago, they came to capture our Fenghua, my father was also killed, and many of our relatives were killed by the rebels. But fortunately, the army sent by the imperial court soon arrived in Yuanjiang and helped us recover Fenghua. But right now, Qianguo Gong and they are in difficulty. Shiping is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and their food is still not much. Everybody says! At this time, should we help them find a way to bring them food!? ”

"Yes!"

"Good! Xiao Song would like to thank all the uncles and aunts. ”

After the mobilization, every household took action. They took out their own food. Then some people began to organize people to go into the mountains to find food, mushrooms, wild fruits, and all kinds of food were gathered together and sent to Shiping in a steady stream.
