Chapter 210: Defend the City! Victory! Attack at the Gate!
Early the next morning.
The sky was just dawning.
In the barracks.
Xiao Yuming ordered the troops with four people, and then the soldiers divided into four routes and went straight to Guizhou.
This is a big layout, and Zhao Changqing can be regarded as completely open, he doesn't believe that the four-way army will not be able to drive all the way to Guizhou.
But if there is a way to Guizhou, this so-called anti-thief force will basically collapse.
And when the anti-thief side learned that a large number of troops had actually come out of the city and bypassed Duanxin Erzhou to go in other directions, the fool could guess that he must be heading for his base camp.
After knowing the news, the two land immortals who rushed to help Duanzhou asked Miao Zhan on the sickbed to intercept them.
These two people, one is the elder of the Miao family who is absolutely loyal to the head of the Miao family, and the other is the leader of the oldest witch sect in Lingnan Dao, from their standpoint, they don't want something to happen in Guizhou, at least not now.
But Miao Zhan doesn't think so!
He can't wait for something to happen in Guizhou now, anyway, now he has an army of six or seven hundred thousand mercenaries, no matter how bad it is, he can have the power to protect himself, right?
Therefore, he said to the two land immortal masters: "Two elders, don't be impatient, you haven't read the book of war, and you don't know the way of fighting.
Regardless of whether the imperial court sent so many troops against Guizhou or not, let's focus on Fucheng first. According to the spies' report, the Great Wei Emperor Zhao Changqing is still in the city.
Nowadays, there is a plague rampant in the city, and I guess that this emperor is no longer able to curb the trend of the development of the plague, so he plans to break the jar and send so many troops out of the city, wanting to take dangerous moves, and want to win this war when the plague has not yet completely broken out.
But in this way, the defense in the city is vulnerable, after all, it is estimated that he has already sent out the troops that can be sent, and most of the remaining soldiers who defend the city are infected with the plague.
At this time, if we send a large army to attack Fucheng, we will definitely have unexpected gains, and even be able to capture the Great Wei Emperor alive. ”
The elder of the Miao family listened to what he said, although he felt a little reasonable in his heart, but he was still worried about the situation in Guizhou, after all, the old family master was in Guizhou City, so he said:
"Zhan'er, uncle thinks that we still can't watch the army of the imperial court slip away from under our noses, no matter what, Guizhou is our home!"
Miao Zhan sneered in his heart, and then said, "Uncle, this is a bad word.
If we can quickly take the capital city and capture the Great Wei Emperor alive, those imperial army will inevitably be angry, and then rush to rescue their emperor or rush to the aid of the city, in this way, wouldn't it just solve the danger of Guizhou?"
The Miao family elder understood a little, and he said tentatively, "It's similar to an allusion in ancient times about Wei Wei saving Zhao, that's what it means, right?"
His brain is not very smart, and since he was a child, he has only been obsessed with martial arts, so his development of brain power is very limited.
Miao Zhan smiled when he heard this, and said, "This attack on Fucheng still needs to rely on two elders! I will give the two of you 200,000 troops for each person, in the current empty state of Fucheng, are you sure that you can capture it within three days?"
The two of them glanced at each other, and the leader of the Witch Gu Sect said: "It's hard to say, if the current situation in the city is really not much different from what Miao Xian's nephew said, then you can just wait for the good news." ”
Miao Zhan snickered in his heart when he heard this, but on the surface he pretended to be very calm and calm, and sat up from the sickbed with difficulty with the support of the maids beside him, and said to the two seniors:
"Since this is the case, I will bother the two seniors to capture the capital city on my behalf, I am here, ready to support the two seniors, and the juniors are waiting for the good news that the two emperors of Great Wei have been captured. ”
So the two men nodded and retreated, and then left here to attack the city.
After the two left, Miao Zhan muttered: "Two old immortals, there is only my father in my heart, after the rebellion is completed, I will try my best to kill all of you old things!"
On the same day, Zhao Changqing received news that the thieves were attacking this side in a big way.
Zhao Changqing asked Jian Yi, "How many of our 50,000 troops left here, plus the already existing garrison troops in Fucheng?"
Jian Yi replied, "There are about seventy thousand. ”
Zhao Changqing nodded, pondered slightly, and said: "Divide all the combatable soldiers into two teams and take turns to defend the city, this one can be made up if the other is tired, and you and Ma Hong will lead a troop respectively." ”
After hearing His Majesty's order, Jian Yi went down on the spot to make arrangements.
This time, the source of soldiers defending the city is indeed small, so it is even more intolerable to be sloppy.
And Zhao Changqing had already put on his armor at this moment, came to the barracks, and always paid attention to the battle ahead.
Early the next morning, the thieves attacked the city.
The thieves had no priority, they basically transferred all the troops that were going to attack the city, and then swarmed up, without any special way of fighting.
However, this time, they have a new type of weapon - a rockfall vehicle.
This made Jian Yi, who was guarding the city during the day, worried, and he informed Zhao Changqing of this matter.
Generally speaking, siege vehicles belong to the secret of the manufacturing bureau, and even in the imperial court, only officials with more than six Shangshu are qualified to know the manufacturing method of this kind of falling stone vehicle, so how could the thief have such a thing as a falling stone vehicle?
Could it be that someone leaked the secret?
Zhao Changqing immediately decided: "Send the masters of the rivers and lakes to completely smash the rockfall car." ”
The production of the implementation car is very helpful to the siege of the city, which Zhao Changqing and others do not want to see.
The anti-thief siege is very violent, wave after wave, there is no intermittent gap, and no matter how big their casualties are, they are persevering in the siege.
It seems that they did not take the lives of the besieging untouchables seriously.
The two land immortals were a little suspicious when they saw the majestic momentum of the city defenders.
Didn't it say that there was a plague outbreak in the city?
How do you act like you're nobody?
You must know that this plague was jointly developed by many masters of witch and Gu together!
Calculating the time, it's almost time for the big explosion!
How do you feel like it's okay?
With this question in mind, they continued to direct the people to attack the city.
After attacking for several days, I don't know how many were killed or wounded, but they still did not give up the siege.
The offensive continues.
In the barracks, Zhao Changqing had not removed his armor for several days, and he was here to observe the development of the battle situation.
On this day, the thieves were still persevering in the siege.
The difference in numbers between the two sides is really too big, and for a while, it is difficult to have a good way to get rid of the enemy's continuous siege.
In the past two days, both the enemy and us have suffered considerable losses.
When the enemy army was attacking the city, Jian Yi ran over and asked, "Your Majesty, let the last general lead 10,000 horsemen to attack the military camp tonight?"
Zhao Changqing frowned and said, "The city is well guarded, why do you want to attack the camp? In case it is plotted by the enemy, do you know what kind of impact it will have on us?"
Jian Yi was unwilling to say: "Your Majesty, do you know what the thieves have said about us these days? They say that we are turtles with shrunken heads! The last general really can't stand this kind of insult, and instead of going on the defensive all the time, it is better to surprise the enemy army!"
Zhao Changqing chuckled and said, "What's the matter? I can't stand being scolded twice? When I was young, everyone in the capital said that I was a gentleman who didn't learn or knew how to do it, and I couldn't just endure it in exchange for today's status?"
He didn't say this casually, but it was the truth, back then, regardless of whether he was intentional or unintentional, in short, it was this gentleman who allowed him to spend a relatively stable time.
Jian Yi was still angry in his heart, but after hearing His Majesty say this, what else could he do?
As His Majesty said, endure it!
Jian Yi is ashamed of himself inferior to His Majesty the Emperor.
It is really worse for him to suffer this anger for a long time than to kill him.
Zhao Changqing asked him, "Where did Xiao Yuming and them hit?"
Jian Yi replied: "According to the news that has come, the four armies have all gone through the first battle, and all of them have won a big victory, and the closest to Guizhou at present is the army to which Jian San belongs, and they entered Zhaozhou from Hezhou, which is also the closest route to Guizhou. ”
Zhao Changqing nodded, looked at a large map hanging on the wall carefully, and then swiped his finger around the map, and said: "Okay, hurry up and tell Jian San that the speed of the march will be slowed down for the time being, and when Xiao Yuming or Zhao Yun attack Guizhou, let him speed up the march." ”
Jian Yi hugged his fists and said, "No!"
When fighting a war, all the tedious etiquette is simple.
Suddenly, at this moment, there was a very anxious voice, "Tell Your Majesty, something is wrong, thousands of Gu worms suddenly appeared outside the city, but as long as the soldiers touch their body skin, they will be quickly devoured by the Gu worms, which is extremely dangerous, these Gu worms are not afraid of flames, it is difficult to eliminate, and it brings great trouble to the soldiers defending the city!"
Zhao Changqing frowned when he heard this, and muttered in his heart: "Gu worm? Ancient version of biochemical warfare?"
After hearing this, everyone frowned, not afraid of the flames?
How good is that!
Zhao Changqing took a deep breath, it seems that when it is critical, he has to rely on himself!
Those Gu worms, aren't they afraid of ordinary flames, aren't they afraid of different fires?
You can't burn them!
Just when he wanted to pick up the human emperor sword and rush to the city, Xuan Chengzi's voice came from his ears: "Your Majesty, more than 300 Dao Sect masters, please fight!"
