Chapter 421 Quiet Sirius Pass
Li Muhan glanced at the soldiers who were carrying equipment and cleaning the battlefield above the city, feeling quite pleased.
Because among the soldiers who had just fought a battle, there were not only native-born Northern Liang soldiers, but also new soldiers from Shuozhou's new people.
These original recruits were indeed not used to such a battle at first, but Li Muhan specially broke them up and mixed them into the Beiliang army, taking turns to defend the city. After a month of training, these soldiers have become more like Beiliang.
The military is brave and fearless of death.
After all, these people's families and fields are behind Shuofeng City, and they have even more reasons than the Northern Liang Army to defend the land behind them.
The captain standing next to him seemed to understand the meaning in Li Muhan's eyes, and quietly whispered in Li Muhan's ear: "General, these soldiers are all good! Don't fire!"
As he spoke, he gave a thumbs up.
Li Muhan smiled and kicked him over: "You're the only smart one who knows everything. I'm going to bed, and you're watching from the top of the city!"
"Okay, General, you can sleep peacefully!" The captain who was kicked ran away happily.
The evening breeze blew by, and the smell of blood at the top of the city became stronger and stronger.
As night fell, the Yanrong camp outside the city lit up with fire one after another.
The soldiers of Yan Rong, who had been attacking the city for a day, sat around the fire with their exhausted bodies, eating, chatting, and thankful that they could survive.
Under such an siege, no one can guarantee that they will be alive the next day, so eat as much as you can.
At this moment, Mu Yunhuan was leaning on a chair holding an exquisite wine glass, his face very calm.
A faint aroma of wine was permeating the entire handsome tent, and the gorgeous royal clothes on his body highlighted the noble status of this young man.
He expected that there would be no progress in the siege for a month. As long as he attacked Beiliang before his brother who was far away in Tianlang Pass, it would be a victory. As for how many people died, he didn't care, as long as he was not the one who died.
As Mu Yunhuan took a sip of wine, his most trusted general Tu Shanlin walked in.
Tu Danlin saluted and said: "Your Highness, today is still the same, there is no progress. Occasionally, soldiers can climb to the top of the city, but the effect is not much."
Mu Yunhuan smiled slightly: "As expected, when it comes to defending the city, these Central Plains soldiers are naturally more familiar than us. But haven't you noticed that my siege infantry has become more and more familiar with how to deal with the defensive rhythm of the Beiliang Army?
, the number of soldiers who can board the city has gradually increased in recent days."
Tu Shanlin also smiled and echoed: "It is exactly what His Highness said. Given time, Shuofeng City will definitely be conquered by our army! All this is thanks to His Highness's idea. Thousands of people were rotated, so that our army can adapt to the siege as soon as possible.
war."
Mu Yunhuan was not proud of Tu Danlin's flattery. He sat up straight and asked, "How are the attrition rates of each formation?"
"It's okay." Tu Danlin replied without hesitation: "Basically, the battle losses have remained at a hundred people. Only a few phalanxes that attacked more times suffered a bit more casualties."
Mu Yunhuan smiled nonchalantly: "It looks like we can speed up the pace. From tomorrow on, each phalanx can only retreat after losing 200 people in battle! The phalanx with serious losses will be broken up, and the soldiers will be organized into other phalanxes."
."
Tu Danlin's heart trembled, and he responded in a deep voice: "No!"
While the fight in Shuofeng City was in full swing, the Tianlang Pass far away in Youzhou was a different scene.
There is also an army of 100,000, and Prince Yanrong is also in charge, but the war here is much calmer.
Although Liang Suichao, the commander of the Youzhou Infantry Army, was old, he still climbed to the top of the city step by step. He wanted to see this strange phenomenon in person.
The lieutenants standing on both sides of him were almost all natives of Youzhou, and they were very familiar with this Tianlang Pass, so their defensive preparations were much better than those in Shuofeng City.
But until today, it seems that Tianlang Pass has not experienced a large-scale siege, and all the soldiers feel suffocated.
Liang Suichao stood on the top of the city and looked outside the city. Outside the city, there were a large number of Yan Rong soldiers standing in formation, waving flags and shouting, and the sound of drums was loud.
But the strange thing is that although there is a lot of movement, there are only a few hundred infantry attacking the city every day. They will attack the city for a few hours and then turn around and leave, leaving the Tianlang Pass defenders confused.
The largest siege was estimated to only involve thousands of people fighting for a short time. It seemed that the Yan Rong army outside the city had no intention of breaking through the Tianlang Pass.
"It's strange. I have been fighting all my life and I have never seen anything like this. What kind of trick is Yan Rong trying again?" Liang Suichao said with narrowed eyes.
He was someone who had experienced the Heavenly Wolf War. At that time, the soldiers of Yan Rong who attacked the city were so powerful and fearless of death. How could they be like this now?
The old man was filled with doubts.
Now a person next to Liang Suichao pursed his lips: "When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. I always feel that Yan Rong is playing some trick."
This man's name is Zhong Lizhuo, and he is Liang Suichao's favorite general. He is only thirty-four years old, but he has been in the army for more than ten years and can be called a soldier in hundreds of battles. He is also a veteran who has experienced the Sirius War.
"Is it possible that Yan Rong is asking us to relax our vigilance, and wait until one day when we don't take it seriously, they will suddenly attack?" Another general said hesitantly.
Liang Suichao waved his hand: "Theoretically, this is possible, but in fact, they have a hundred thousand troops stationed outside the city. We will not let down our guard under any circumstances. General Yanrong is not a fool, and he will never be stupid enough to use this
A method."
The general who had just spoken couldn't think of a reason anymore, so he cursed for a few words and then closed his mouth.
"General, how about we send troops out to test the waters and let three thousand cavalry go out of the city to attack their vanguard and see what the reaction is?" Zhong Lizhuo tentatively put forward his idea.
As soon as these words came out, the several cavalry lieutenants who stayed in Tianlang Pass opened their eyes wide and geared up one by one.
"No need!" Those two words from General Liang made those cavalry captains discouraged.
Liang Suichao looked at those people with a smile and said: "Don't be so silly, take a closer look at the army outside the city. Although they are bluffing, their formation is not disordered at all, and there are cavalry cruising on both sides. They are obviously prepared, which shows that
Leaders are not mediocre."
Zhong Lizhuo raised his eyebrows: "I heard that the eldest prince Yanrong is leading the troops outside the city. Tsk, tsk, this really gives us Youzhou defenders a lot of face."
"If the Marquis were here, I'm afraid Yan Rong would have to lose another prince. I don't know if Mu Yun Canglan will have enough sons." Another general said with a smile.
"Hahaha!"
Suddenly there was a burst of laughter on the top of the city.
"Okay." Liang Suichao smiled and waved his hand: "Since our mission is to guard Tianlang Pass, we can just wait and see what happens. If there are any trends, report to me at any time!"
"promise!"
