Chapter 451: Offering
The entire Thistle City was plunged into a sea of swords and spears.
Arrows and cannons slammed down on the city, setting off waves of blood.
However, the Liang army only attacked from a distance, and the soldiers were lined up under the city and did not attack.
After nearly an hour of projectile, more than 1,000 armor soldiers stood by the moat and shouted towards the city: "The general trend of the Murong clan has gone, the world should be returned to the Li clan, the soldiers and people in the city, those who surrender will not be killed!" ”
Wave after wave of roars poured out into the city.
"Attacking the city is the bottom, attacking the heart is the top, Murong Wei led the Xianbei headquarters to retreat to Longcheng, and the city sergeant Anken died for the Murong clan?" Liu Ying said excitedly.
Wang Meng laughed, "Murong Keqishi is also a generous lover, with this person here, it will be difficult for Jicheng to fall for a while." ”
Li Yue frowned, the supply line was lengthened, the transportation of grain and grass was more expensive, and the nearly 100,000 young and strong people who were captive, every day people eat horses and chew, it is a bottomless black hole.
Although Chang Wei didn't say anything, Li Yue knew that the grain and grass in the rear were unsustainable, the fire oil had long been exhausted, and the siege equipment such as Linchong cars, thunderbolt cars, and ballistas were more delicate than people.
When they arrived in Jizhou, the craftsmen of the army made some simple catapults, which were much less powerful than the thunderbolts, mainly to strengthen their momentum.
There are nearly 200,000 troops on three fronts, and after half a year of fighting, no matter how much money you have, you can't hold on to it.
"Is there nothing to be done?" Zhang Shengye blurted out.
There was silence around, and it was obvious that the generals still wanted to fight.
But the soldiers were tired.
Wang Meng said: "Although our army can't capture Jicheng, Murong Ke can't hold it either!" ”
"Oh, what do you mean?" Li Yue's interest grew.
"Murong Wei led the Xianbei headquarters to retreat to Longcheng, and now all the counties in Youzhou are all in the heart of the beam, and the road is unimpeded, and a general can be sent to lead thousands of elite cavalry to raid it, and cut off Murong Ke's thoughts!"
After Murong Hao broke the 450,000 horses of Shihu in Thorn City, he built a new capital in the north of Liucheng and west of Longshan (now Shuangta District, Chaoyang City, Liaoning).
Hold Liaoxi and watch the Central Plains.
Now that Yan Guo is in the midst of a rumor, as long as the sneak attack is successful, Murong Jun and Murong Ke's only hope will be broken, and Yan Guo can only wait for death.
Li Yue frowned, this policy is theoretically feasible, but it is difficult to implement at the military level.
The current Liaoxi is not as fast as the Qin and Han dynasties, and it has fallen to Hu Chen for two hundred years, and it is full of Yidi, and the recognition of the Middle Earth Dynasty is not high.
The Liaoning West Corridor is not so easy to walk.
Moreover, Murong Wei took away tens of thousands of Xianbei headquarters, and he would never surrender easily.
Cavalry siege, whimsical.
"This strategy...... Debatable. Li Yue shook his head.
Wang Meng said: "The attack on Dragon City is fake, the bluff is true, causing panic in the city, if he does not come out, our army will encroach on Liaoxi, if his army comes out, our army can take advantage of the situation to cover up and capture Jicheng!" ”
"Order Xu Cheng to lead 7,000 horsemen to the east, with great fanfare along the way, creating momentum." The strategy was not very clever, it was full of variables, and Li Yue felt that it was difficult to deceive Murong Ke.
However, Wang Meng is full of confidence, looking at his appearance, this is only the first step.
With him there, Li Yue was too lazy to spend his efforts, the herald galloped away, and seven thousand athletes rode out and galloped eastward.
The other soldiers set up camp and waited for the opportunity.
Within a few days, the cities of Beiping surrendered without a fight and were included in the territory of the Liang State.
Xu Cheng was wrapped in young and strong, making noise along the way, and slaughtered towards Liaoxi County.
Murong Ke was unmoved, and Jicheng was quiet.
But Murong Ke is not panicked, it does not mean that others can calm down.
Mu Yugen of Shuzhou abandoned Shuzhou and left, and withdrew to Liaoxi County.
Liaodong is not only the foundation of the Murong family, but also the old nest of the Mu Yu family, it doesn't matter if the Yan Kingdom is dead, if the old nest is copied, the Mu Yu family will collapse.
"Mu Yugen, the old minister of the three dynasties, kill this person, the army in the city will be disheartened, and this merit should be attributed to the new pawn under the command of the minister!" Wang Meng waved his hand, and he was arrogant.
"Go ahead!"
"The minister is going to intercept Mu Yugen, Murong Ke may make a move, His Highness must not let the soldiers relax."
Anything, as long as Wang Meng is there, becomes much simpler.
"Murong Ke dares to come out, he can't ask for it!"
Mu Yugen abandoned Shuzhou and left, so the army of Jia Jian and Lu Bozao, who concentrated in Shuzhou City, freed their hands and went north to besiege Jicheng, and Qingqi's grain and grass could also be transferred to Jicheng.
Wang Meng's plan was not aimed at Murong Ke from the beginning, but at Mu Yugen.
Although Li Yue calmed down and could think of it, it was definitely not as easy as Wang Meng.
His height, there are not many people who can reach it in Chinese history, and in this era, it belongs to a super-first-class existence, no wonder some people compare him with Zhuge Wuhou.
In horizontal comparison, Murong Ke and Huan Wen are much worse than him.
Li Yue's biggest golden finger is this, knowing who is a cow and who can use it.
And history is often driven by the few people who stand at the top.
Mu Yugen may be a general, or a rare general, but in the face of Wang Meng, Jia Jian, and Lu Bozao's attack, there is no possibility of victory.
However, like Murong Ping, he also used the strategy of the golden cicada to get out of the shell, abandoning tens of thousands of foot soldiers, leading 6,000 troops to break through the siege and flee to Liaodong in a hurry.
In this battle, the importance of cavalry gradually became apparent.
It's hard for two legs to catch up with four legs.
Liang does not have a large-scale horse breeding land, so naturally there is no large-scale cavalry, and it can maintain the scale of 20,000 cavalry, which Li Yue has made up for so many years.
When the donkey, mule cavalry can get together, it is difficult to pursue them for long distances.
Mu Yugen ran away, and most of the more than 20,000 abandoned soldiers became prisoners.
Wang Meng did not pursue, and returned to Jizhou with Jia Jian and Lu Bo as soon as possible.
However, Murong Ke never moved, even if Li Yuewei was three and one, he still did not move.
Neither break through nor counterattack, just consume.
Under Jicheng, the Liang army of all roads added up to 160,000, and the vast majority of cities in Guangning, Shanggu, Yuyang, Fanyang, and Youbeiping surrendered.
Jicheng has almost become an isolated city.
"Murong Ke has the will to die!" Wang Meng sighed.
At the beginning, he was able to break through Xiangguo, firstly, he was well prepared, and all kinds of siege equipment were pulled up and bombarded, and secondly, he was caught off guard by Murong Ke and Murong Jun.
Now the siege equipment is very damaged, and it cannot reach the original scale, and it is Murong Ke who defends the city, and it is clear that he wants to live and die with Jicheng.
This is a tradition of the Yan Kingdom.
At that time, Yuewan's 1,000 men and horses blocked Li Nong's 40,000 army.
Murong Hao was trapped in Thorn City, and the Jedi fought back to kill Shi Hu.
"The last general is willing to lead an army to attack the city!" Lu Bo arched his hand early.
The Lukou army under his command is quite elite and a new force, and he intends to show his face in front of the various armies and Li Yue.
Raising an army for a thousand days is used for a while, and after Lukou, the elite joined the establishment of the Black Cloud Army, it has not taken a record so far.
"Those who must die can be killed, and those who must live can be captured, Murong Ke has the will to die, so he might as well give him a ride! General Deer listened to the order and immediately attacked the city! Li Yue slapped his thigh.
"Command!" Lu Bo gave up his hand excitedly.
Jia Jian's eyes on the side flickered.
