The army did not encounter the troops of the King of Xiangyang again along the way, until they joined Di Qing's troops, Chang'an City fell into their complete encirclement, and the two marshals finally met. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In Marshal Di's tent, nearly 100 generals from both sides and school guards from the school lieutenant office gathered together to celebrate the upcoming final victory.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Chang'an City is about to be broken, let's join forces to attack the city early tomorrow morning!"

Marshal Huyan drank all the wine in the bowl and said, "Okay! Let's dry the wine! Tomorrow will be successful!"

Everyone drank it all, and all night there was laughter in every corner of the barracks, and almost everyone had already decided that the war would end tomorrow.

But early the next morning, the defenders of Chang'an stubbornly withstood the attack of the two armies, and the Song army attacked the city on all sides at the same time, but failed to break through the city, and the most surprising thing for them was that the people in the city actually spontaneously helped the rebels of the king of Xiangyang!

Hua Chong wondered, logically speaking, they should have waited for this day for a long time, why would they help the king of Xiangyang to defend the city?

"These people should be scared when they see us coming for reinforcements again!" Marshal Di, who supervised the war, also looked worried.

"Afraid? Our men and horses are besieging the city on all sides, they have no food and grass in them, there are no rescuers outside, and the city is only broken now, why should we be afraid?"

"He's afraid we'll slaughter the city!"

"Slaughtering the city......" Hua Chong knew that he didn't think about it in this direction at all, in that era, this kind of thing didn't happen before, even if it happened many times in the next nearly a thousand years.

"Marshal Di really wants to slaughter the city?" Hua Chong asked tentatively.

"No!" Marshal Di replied to him without hesitation: "The people in the city are not guilty, I will not do this, but the people of the King of Xiangyang will not say this, they must have spread rumors to do this." ”

The three-day siege was fruitless, and thousands of soldiers and horses were lost, which made the two marshals very depressed.

"Chang'an City is strong and dangerous, it is really difficult to attack, it is better to let us go, the previous Tongguan was also won by a few of us. Hua Chong suggested.

"No, Chang'an is not as high as Tongguan, the city wall is high, and it is difficult to enter the city, so it's better not to take risks. Zhong Xiong, who has been fighting around Chang'an with Di Qing for a year, is still very familiar with Chang'an.

"What can Zhong Taibao do?" Marshal Huyan thought Zhong Xiong asked.

"There's no way, either attack hard or besiege the city, other than that, it's hard to find any other way!"

Di Qing sighed: "The ancients, the method of using soldiers, ten to surround it, five to attack it, and to fight it twice, there are at least nearly 30,000 troops in the city, our two armies are combined, there are nearly 200,000 people, five times the number has already been there, it should be attacked, it seems that only continuing to attack the city is the best policy." ”

Hua Chong said: "Attacking the city day and night continuously, you can always exhaust the enemy army, they are just so many, one less to die, and slowly consume and die." Hua Chong remembered that in his previous life, the video games he played, the siege war was fought on the head, whoever has the big number can win, isn't it just using people to pad in.

Di Qing smiled: "If you can take it down, it's okay, if you can't conquer it for a long time, I'm afraid that it will be us who will die." ”

"The 800,000 forbidden troops of the Great Song Dynasty can't consume 30,000 of them?"

Di Qing shook his head and said: "There is a forbidden army, but it is not us who will lead the army!"

Only then did Hua Chong understand that what they were worried about was this! Indeed, after a long attack, the emperor became angry and changed people. The game is a game, this real battlefield, human life is not numbers, it is money!

"Then you can only storm strongly, Marshal Huyan used this method before, day and night to attack the city, our army is several times the enemy, attacking from all sides, so that he must not rest, and he may see the difference in a few days. ”

Di Qing sighed: "It's just that I don't know how many soldiers' lives will be sacrificed like this! I think the king of Xiangyang is already a battle of trapped beasts, the city gate is broken, and there will be street battles, if you don't destroy these remnants, you won't be able to live in peace after all!"

"Marshal Di, the old man feels that there is only such a fight now, and if he doesn't open the city gate, there is no point in talking about it. ”

"Well, according to the idea of the two of you, let's take turns attacking the city and see how long he can defend it!"

From the next morning, the endless siege began, round after round of attacks continued to impact the tall and strong Chang'an City, the corpses under the city have been piled up, and the soldiers who besieged the city are still one after another.

The rebels under the king of Xiangyang on the tower of the city also redoubled their efforts, and wave after wave of offensives were forcefully carried down. In another three days, the Song army paid nearly 10,000 casualties, and the banner of the king of Xiangyang was still hanging above the head of Chang'an City.

"Keep attacking! You must beat me down!" Marshal Di Qing no longer has the demeanor of a Confucian general, and less than 30,000 enemy soldiers actually blocked him in the last city for nearly a month!

"Marshal Di, I have one you can try. Hua Chong had already heard the boss's roar outside the tent, and he walked into the tent to offer advice.

"What do you think?"

"There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, the handsome might as well try the reward, since the slaughter of the city is something that everyone does not want to see, then we will pay for the slaughter of the city ourselves, what do you think?"

"Reward?" Di Qing lowered his head and pondered the feasibility of this idea, and after thinking about it for a long time, Marshal Di said: "Okay, just do as you say!"

"Someone! Call Di Hu to me!"

There was not much time, and Di Qing's second son, Di Hu, walked into the camp.

"Father, what's the matter with changing children?"

"You go to Yan'an Mansion now, the gold and silver rewarded by Long Live last time are all in Shuai Mansion, I didn't move, I shipped them to me as quickly as possible, and let your mother take out 50,000 taels of silver from the family's money and bring it together with those rewards!"

"Dad, you're not right?"

"Nonsense, if this Chang'an City can't be broken, life will be better?"

"Son, get up!"

After Di Hu left, Marshal Di asked Marshal Huyan to discuss how to attack the city.

"Hua Chong's idea can be tried, this money can't be paid by Di Shuai alone, and the old man will also count it, so I will send someone back to Beijing to withdraw the money." ”

"The old marshal doesn't have to rush back to Beijing, my home is in Chang'an, because Chang'an fell, my family went to Yan'an Mansion with the army, and it is closer to Chang'an than Beijing, so I will pay the money first. ”

Hua Chong said: "Chaotianling has also captured some rebels' salaries, and there are also the savings of Chaotianling bandits, which can also be temporarily embezzled, and when Chang'an is broken, the gap will be filled, and now it is mainly attacking the city, and the morale cannot be discharged!"

"Well, Hua Chong is right, Di Shuai, let's use the stolen money from Chaotianling first, and then continue to attack the city!"

"Okay, come on, order the men and horses of the battalions to suspend the siege, we have something to do with the camps!"
