In the big tent, Zhang Chong carefully observed Xu Huang's situation and once again determined that this was a typical lack of sleep.

He asked Xu Huang's companion to take care of him, and then took Xun Yu and Yu Ban out.

On the way, Zhang Chong looked at Kim Yong City not far away, imagining Xu Huang's bloody battle at the head of the city, and suddenly sighed:

"It's not easy to fight the world."

Xun Yu bowed his head and added a sentence intentionally or unintentionally:

"It's hard to fight the world, and it's even harder to defend the world. Your Majesty, it will only be more difficult in the future. ”

Zhang Chong hummed, then turned his head and asked Yu Ban:

"Ah Ban, this Kim Yong City has taken the North City, and the road is too narrow to enter for a while. Do you have any plans for the rest of the war? ”

Yu Ban replied respectfully:

"Your Majesty, Kim Yong Cheng seems to be impregnable, but in fact there is a huge flaw. During the questioning of the prisoners of the Jianghuai soldiers just now, it turned out that there were no wells in the city, and even if there were one or two water reserves, they could not withstand it for too long. Therefore, the last general's view was to besiege Kim without attacking it, and launch a direct attack on Kyoto. ”

Zhang Chong stopped and let Yu Ban continue.

Yu Banyi pointed to painting on the ground, and after drawing out the castle defense of Kyoto, he explained:

"Now that Kyoto's outlying strongholds have been uprooted by our army, Kim Yong Fortress has a condescending advantage, but because it has been captured by our army, it is actually unable to protect itself. Compared to Kim Yong Castle, Kyoto, which has no outer defenses, is actually not so difficult to attack. ”

Of course, the real situation is that even if the officer shoots at Zhang Chong, what if?

Can a small iron arrow also hurt him?

……

At the same time, artillery carriage positions are also placed on all sides, and nearby rocks can be taken to bombard the city endlessly.

On the bed, Zhu Jun thought of a solution.

If at this time, if there is any archery expert who can shoot Zhang Chong with one arrow, it may not only be the fate of the entire battle, but even the fate of the entire time and space will change.

In fact, Yu Ban's strategy is a core:

Heart-to-heart!

But now, the city will be difficult to conquer in a short period of time, but this inspired Yu Ban, who means that he can use the stone and soil excavated in the trenches to pile up a mountain of earth outside the city of Kyoto, and then arrange for a divine shot to strike at the Han army on the top of the mountain.

But so what? Zhu Jun still couldn't sleep that night.

Squads composed of elite archers from various armies began to infiltrate the city from time to time, attacking some tents and canopies at the head of the city with fire arrows.

In fact, in summary, Yu Ban's strategy for attacking Kyoto is three.

Zhang Chong nodded, and asked Yu Ban:

"And what do you know?"

In the evening, a bonfire was lit in it, and dozens of loud voices roared and shouted in the midst of it.

The second strategy was to carry out small tactical maneuvers during the day, and then use rocket attacks at night to constantly destroy the enemy's determination to defend the city.

In addition, it is necessary to construct the commanding heights of the soil slope.

After hearing this, Zhang Chong put forward a few views:

After Zhu Jun came, he didn't see the Xinghuo move for a long time, and he knew that this was just a trick of the Taishan Army.

At this time, the Han army in Zhongcheng also looked at the opposite side nervously, they obviously didn't expect that the biggest thief, Zhang Thief, was standing less than a hundred steps away from them.

Of course, with the strength of Kyoto, the current horizontal catapult is also a deterrent attack, but this is enough to make the Han army panic until the moment when the will is destroyed and collapsed.

As long as one or two oars are burned, they will have no nostalgia, and they will leave with one blow.

Yu Ban immediately reported the strategy and tactics he had thought of to Zhang Chong.

According to Yu Ban's subordinates, the Taishan army was in Taiwu for three years, and on April 1, it began to send small troops to harass on all sides of Kyoto.

At first, it was just a simple cold and cold, but as the condition worsened, Zhu Jun couldn't get out of bed.

In this way, he still left his Hu bed on the castle tower to listen to the reports of the generals at any time.

And this is not just daytime, even at night, these attacks will come suddenly, which will make the Han army at the head of the city nervous and unable to sleep at night.

In fact, at that time, there were really people in Zhongcheng who were aiming at Zhang Chong with a bow.

He asked people to find cowhide soft stalls and bamboo cards, and put them on the head of the city to block the fire arrows of the Taishan army.

At this time, the big man's Optimus Pillar was still ill in the end.

Yu Ban was taught, and then everyone followed Zhang Chong to the northern city of Kim Yong Kim, and even personally planted the apricot yellow flag on the tower of the northern city.

After eating, Zhang Chong even went to the Tianjie Yongdao again, looking at the Yongdao erected in the sky, he couldn't help but sigh at the superb architectural skills of the ancients.

The Han army on the west city thought that the Taishan army outside the city was arrayed in the field, and it was bound to attack the city by night, and hurriedly reported to Zhu Jun.

"This specific detail still needs to be tested, you said that you want to pile up dirt mountains, then have you considered it, now at the turn of spring and summer, it is the time of obscene rain. Once the rainstorm hits, those dirt mountains are a safety hazard. ”

In the words of the forbidden, only by building a strong fortress and building a hard base can we have a foothold in all aspects.

Even the Xie Bi Department in the west of the city was a pioneer in transporting all the Buddha statues in the White Horse Temple in the west of the city, and then planting flags all over the place.

But the veteran of the Jianghuai Army, who had been beaten dull, stopped the reckless official, not wanting his recklessness to harm everyone's lives.

One was to immediately build barracks and commanding heights on the outskirts of Kyoto, relying on favorable terrain, so as to consolidate the gains already made by the Fourth Front Army.

All of the above happened at the Kyoto Gate, and even some of the Water Gates had fireships laid down by the Taishan Army, ready to burn through the fence of the Water Gate.

The pressure of military affairs for many days, the intrigue with the ministers in the city, and the fact that he had not rested well in the city for the past few days, Zhu Jun was tired.

Originally, there was only one fortress in the outermost part of Kyoto, Kim Yong Fortress, which gave Kim Yong Fortress a unique military value.

Tired, Zhu Jun rushed from the south gate and quickly checked.

These people are often in groups of dozens of people, go straight to each gate, and then use the cards to shoot at the Han army on the head of the city.

Yu Ban hadn't thought about this, and was about to think about how to solve it, when he heard Zhang Chong say:

"You follow this rule first, don't be afraid to figure it out. It's good to think about it and do things, but it's okay to do things if you don't understand. The important thing is to do it first, and if there is a problem later, it is good to analyze the cause. ”

After that, Zhang Chong stayed here to have dinner with the officials of the Flying Tiger Army and comfort them that their military leader, Xu Huang, was fine.

However, the general reported that there were no bamboo gardens in the city for harvesting, and only some ministers still had bamboo in their homes.

The man asked, what to do?

What can I do? Zhu Jun was lying on the bed, and Sen Han said:

"Take my warrant and collect all the military uses in the city, and whoever dares to stop it will be dealt with as a spy of the Taishan army."

During the siege, Kyoto was miserable.

The soldiers had to stay on the top of the city day and night, and they had to brave the enemy's arrows and stones to go out of the city and fight bloodily. The officials and slaves and apprentices in the city had to carry supplies to the city, and they had to be forcibly requisitioned to do all kinds of work.

Even some officials and adjutants in the government office had to reduce their rice and supply the surplus to the city.

But there is only one group that is not affected at all in this bad city, and that is the ministers of the various provinces.

They seem to have forgotten that this battle is closely linked to their own fate, and almost without exception, all the children remained within the high walls of the Kyoto Risha and did not take a single step.

They even used the limited supplies in the city to build workshops in each mile, protecting each other, and then sitting on the wealth and corn accumulated for dozens of generations and hoarding them at home.

It can be said that these shrines simply built a barrier of their own in Kyoto Castle, almost comparable to the north and south two palaces.

Therefore, when Zhu Jun's people came to forcibly requisition the bamboo in their family's garden, the result can be imagined.

They only gave the comer one word:

"Get out!"

In fact, when Zhu Jun's soldiers rushed into Liu Yu's mansion that night and arrested Liu He, the relationship between the two sides was already inseparable.

Previously, after seeing Zhu Jun's sharp soldiers defeated the Taishan army in the field battle at the north gate, they didn't pay much attention to the matter of defending the city, but ran their own Li Society wholeheartedly.

And Zhu Jun no longer asked for their opinions in the defensive battle before. At this time, the ministers even felt that these people from Zhu Jun had come to loot them again.

There have also been some children of ministers who have told their elders that their lips are dead and their teeth are cold, and there are no eggs under the nest.

But he was reprimanded by his elders:

"What do children know? You know this, I already knew it when you were old, and you don't know what I know now. Still teach me how to do things? ”

Some elders are arrogant, do not explain the truth, and directly coerce things.

Some of them also tell their own children about the truth.

It turns out that for the ministers, there is a clear distinction between public and private. In the defense of Kyoto, if more than ten generations of savings are consumed in the battle with the Tarzan army, what is the difference between it and being looted by the Tarzan army?

Isn't it useful for you to use Zhu Jun?

This is still the result of winning the war, and if they lose, these people will be implicated because they funded Zhu Jun in the defense of the city.

And in the eyes of their people, the latter is far more likely than the former.

Even, many people have secretly prepared to wait for the Taishan army to enter the city to greet them, after all, which new dynasty does not need a few old people to decorate the façade?

It's just that at present, this view is still private and not mainstream.

Most of the Han soldiers who came to ask for bamboo were from the Northern Army in the city, which one in the family was not related to these ministers? Even many of them are from these people's disciples.

So in the face of the reprimand of the master's family, even though they had Zhu Jun's handwriting, they still withdrew in disgrace.

In the end, a few were afraid that they would not be able to hand over the errand, so they simply demolished the gate wall of the West Market, and then took off some bamboo planks and arranged them at the head of the city.

As for the effect, they don't care, anyway, Zhu Jun is already bedridden, and they don't have to guard the city wall for the Jianghuai soldiers anyway.

For the next few days, Kyoto Castle spent the time in such a low-intensity battle. It's hard, but it's not dangerous.

And in this process, the Taishan army also began to preach and appease the shrine near Kyoto.

Kyoto is the largest city in the world, with a resident population of 200,000. Although this number of people may not seem to be many in later generations, it is also a remarkable thing to supply such a large urban population in this era of low productivity.

Among the materials that sustained the lives of these Kyoto people, such as corn and clothing, could be transferred from other parts of the world, but some daily necessities such as firewood and vegetables were produced and supplied from estates near Kyoto.

The Koro Basin, where Kyoto is located, is one of the earliest areas developed in China, and countless manors and shrines are dotted here.

The 50,000 or 60,000 troops of the Taishan Army are deployed here, and it is inevitable to deal with the relationship with these places.

For this, the Taishan army is familiar with it, and it has its own set of mature methods.

As soon as they arrived at the place, they put up a list in the countryside to calm the people, and let the loud ones ride around these communities on horseback, constantly preaching the policies of the Taishan Army.

These policies boil down to one thing:

"Don't kill", "Don't disturb each other".

This was Zhang Chong's instructions for the whole army at the base camp in Beibi Mountain. Now is the critical period for conquering Kyoto, and it is not appropriate to take large-scale actions in the local area to provoke local tyrants to become chaotic.

Therefore, the armies began to make contact with these places according to the areas they had drawn up and reached a temporary united front.

At the same time, the Taishan Army also made large-scale purchases in the local area, buying materials and recruiting people to support the front at double the market price.

Everywhere they went, the Taishan Army relieved the poor, the old and the weak as usual, and showed the background of the Taishan Army to these people.

Their Taishan army is the poor man's own army.

At first, the people of Qianshou near Gyeonggi were suspicious, and many of them even had to move their families to the south.

But when they saw that Taishan Jun really gave money, and they were very generous, they began to be more convinced. Finally, when it comes, what the Taishan army says must be true.

They remembered what the preachers had said:

"Our Taishan Army is the most honest, and we will do what we say."

Later, when these people learned from the Xuanfu officials, land reform was implemented under the rule of the Taishan Army, so that the cultivators had their fields and the dwellers had their houses.

These people were even more excited, but some of them were uneasy, and they asked the proclamators:

"If the land is given to us, then the Hao family will not guide us to farm, and we will be hungry at that time."

Those who farm don't know how to farm, this is not a joke, but a real reaction in this era.

All the knowledge of agriculture, including the selection of breeders, calendars, and seasons, is all in the hands of Haoqiang, and those tenants are pure cattle and horses, only under the arrangement of the sons of Haoqiang, mechanically digging ridges and filling soil.

Although they planted the land, they did not know how it was planted.

The Xuanfu are all old officials, and they don't know how many such problems they have dealt with, so they told them to be at ease.

They promised the peasants that:

"Our Taishan Army will definitely let you live a good life."

"Remember what we said?"

The peasants said in unison:

"Our Taishan Army, do what we say."

For a time, there was a rush to tell each other everywhere, and an optimistic atmosphere permeated this ancient Gyeonggi land.

Many of the tenants were even laughing in their dreams, and they still couldn't believe it a little in their hearts, but there was a longing voice in their hearts that told him:

"Perhaps, this time it's true?"

Regarding what happened in the land of Gyeonggi, the dock owners of each manor naturally numbered and panicked. But they didn't dare to be angry at all, as long as the 60,000 Taishan army over there was still stationed there, everything would not be turned upside down.

Gradually, the joy in the basin rose to a frenzy, and they brought all the men of their families to support the Tarzan army, and even though there was nothing left for them to do, they remained there rusticly.

This is the human heart.

With the support of these people, the Taishan army not only gained a firm foothold outside the city, but even turned the Gyeonggi area into an inner line, but Kyoto was isolated.

If so, both sides of the battlefield, the host and the guest are also easy.
