Chapter 352 The Fall of Yunling City
Late spring of 373 AD in Gu'an
At the junction of Yunbian County and Shanhai County, an army of about 30,000 people was marching in Pingyuan Mountain. Judging from the clothing of these 30,000 people, Laiken really could not be called an army. Each of these soldiers wore
There were countless wounded soldiers among them, with civilian clothes and broken armor. Some soldiers could not even move while lying on carts. This kind of army full of wounded soldiers had not been seen in the land of Gu'an for twenty years. These two soldiers
In the past ten years, there have been small-scale battles between the Yufeng Kingdom and the Gu'an Kingdom, and there have not been such casualties for a long time.
This army was the defending army that had just been pulled out of Yunling City. The three people at the front were Master Yang, Ji Fan and Liang Qiu. Yi Wen, who was seriously injured and unconscious, gradually improved under the care of Nie Qun and Meili.
After stabilizing the situation, two doctors, Chao Jiu and Ke Qiu, admired Nie Qun's medical skills and followed Nie Qun to North Lin'an in Shanhai County.
When everyone was evacuating, Liang Qiu was responsible for leading the cover. In such a battle with great disparity in strength, it was inevitable for the army to lose a lot of troops. Liang Qiu also suffered a lot of injuries while covering, and more than half of the more than 10,000 vanguards he brought with him were killed or injured.
.
"Hiss... Damn it, I haven't been injured in how many years, and this injury still hurts." Liang Qiu didn't have time to talk during the whole journey. He would care about this and that, and now he would watch.
No one could let him take care of it, so he had to pick up his wounds himself. At this touch, blood seeped out of the white cloth again.
"General, I advise you not to touch the wound again. Your injury is not big or small. If it recovers, it will be fine. If it is serious, you will not be able to save your arm." Sitting on the board.
Meimei in the car looked at Liang Qiu and said.
Liang Qiu looked back and found that a little baby was also telling him what to do. Just as he was about to get angry, Master Yang stopped him and said, "General Liang may not know yet, right? This is Nie Qun, the miracle doctor, and the one next to him is Nie Qun."
It is these two who helped the people of Yunling City find the antidote, otherwise we might not be able to survive you coming to save us."
"Oh! I'm sorry! It turns out that you two are the miracle doctors that everyone is talking about! Lao Liang, I don't have any hobbies in my life. I just like to dance with swords, guns and talk. Don't take it off, you two!" After finishing speaking, Liang Qiu faced each other with fists.
The man saluted, and when the wound was touched, it hurt so much that Liang Qiu gasped.
"General Liang, take a rest."
Yunling City is the last line of defense of Yunbian County. Now that the defenders of Yunbian County have retreated, the entire Gu'an Kingdom's war situation will undergo earth-shaking changes. First of all, the fall of Yunling City means that Gu'an Kingdom has lost control of the entire Gu'an Kingdom.
Yunbian County is under the control of Yunbian County. The terrain of Yunbian County has no characteristics. It is full of plains, which is very conducive to marching. Yufeng Kingdom can completely use Yunbian County as a frontline garrison to launch attacks in other places. Secondly, Yunbian County
The fall of the county indirectly led to the accelerated fall of Linjun Feilian County, and Xiangcheng, the main city of Feilian County, was also in danger.
However, after Yunbian County and Feilian County, there is Shanhai County with weird terrain and Yuzhou, which has hundreds of thousands of soldiers. If the entire Gu'an Kingdom is compared to a city, then Yunbian and Feilian County are only two counties.
It can be said that it is a tactical terrain that delays the enemy, and Yuzhou and Shanhai County are the city walls of the ancient Anguo. When the Shangguan family rebelled twenty years ago, they hated Shanhai County.
At the same time, the battle on Xiangcheng's side is about to begin.
It has been five days since Luo Qingbai and Xiao Wuchang set out with their troops. Xiao Wuchang now has a well-equipped and large army in his hands. With his domineering personality, Xiao Wuchang is now even more powerful.
Wu Chang led more than 100,000 soldiers to repair
After two or three days, Xiangcheng was surrounded. Xiao Wuchang can be regarded as an expert in siege. He is different from Yan Wuji. If Yan Wuji has some accomplishments in siege, Xiao Wuchang can
It's said to be the pinnacle of success.
This man is not only highly skilled in martial arts but also good at attacking and scheming. He has a heavy army like Xiangcheng, a city with strong defenses and a city with sufficient resources. He has never advocated a violent attack. He is a pure soldier, and all he thinks about is how to conquer the city.
When a city is captured, the consumption of resources is not something he should consider. Now that he has surrounded Xiangcheng, one of his purposes is to intimidate the defenders of Xiangcheng, so that the enemy cannot guess what you are thinking and can take it by surprise!
"General Xiao, do you know how much food and grass these hundreds of thousands of troops consume every day?" In the main tent, Xiao Wuchang was looking through Xiang Cheng's information and the intelligence brought back by the scouts. Luo Qingbai closed his eyes and calmed down.
He slowly opened his eyes and asked.
"Old General, you are a senior. Can the consumption in this war be called consumption? After this battle, we will completely control Feilian County and Yunbian County. These two counties will not be effective in the hands of Gu'an State, but in the
It's different in our hands. The food and fodder consumption of this mere army of hundreds of thousands... haha, it's nothing to mention." Xiao Wuchang has been in a good mood recently, and his words are not as irritable as before, although Luo Qingbai is in the army.
Senior Xiao Wuchang did respect him very much, but he was really arrogant when he spoke.
Luo Qingbai nodded and said nothing after listening to Xiao Wuchang's words. Could it be that he is really old? Twenty years ago, he would definitely be like Xiao Wuchang without blinking an eye. Although You Dacheng is the most popular among his disciples,
He is a useless person, but his feelings for many years are still there. Now that a white-haired person is giving a black-haired person, Luo Qingbai still feels a little emotional. This is not the first time this has happened. Three years ago, his grandson Luo Cang was killed by Yi.
I seemed to have felt this way when Wen was killed.
"Report to the general and the governor. The soldiers are all asking when to launch the attack." After Xiao Wuchang and Luo Qingbai finished their conversation, the soldiers guarding the tent walked in and said.
Xiao Wuchang smiled and said: "Tell the soldiers to be patient for a while. If you want to drink and eat meat, you have to be patient!"
Although Xiao Wuchang was confident about capturing Xiangcheng, he also believed that it was not a simple matter. The terrain around Xiangcheng was mostly plain areas. This was conducive to the march of the army but also increased the difficulty of attacking the city, because
The flat terrain made the army's attack less sudden, and their every move was no secret to the people on the city wall.
Another point is that although the land in Feilian County is barren and wars often occur, the frequent battles also made Xiang Cheng work hard on city defense. The city wall was not only solidified with rammed earth, but also built with a layer of turned heads.
There are two gates, inside and outside. Even the city wall near the city gate has been specially thickened. The wall near the city gate is thickest away from the city gate and becomes thinner as it moves away from the city gate. The two city gates fit perfectly together.
The space in the middle is enough to accommodate more than a hundred soldiers. In addition to a large number of steel spikes, there are many openings on the outer city wall for spearmen to thrust outwards. This city can be said to be impregnable.
Luo Qingbai naturally knew the situation in Xiangcheng. Looking at Xiao Wuchang's confident look, he was very curious to see how Xiao Wuchang was going to capture the city. Such a battle would inevitably cause a large number of casualties, Xiao Wuchang
Although Wu Chang was very violent, he was only targeting the enemy and he still cherished his subordinates very much. Luo Qingbai wanted to see how Xiao Wu Chang could complete this siege with the least casualties.
Not long after, Xiao Wuchang took a deep breath and slowly put down the things in his hands.
Next, he walked to the entrance of the military tent. He looked at Xiang Cheng not far away, with greed in his eyes. This greed was strong and real.
In Xiangcheng City, Lei Qian, Ling Yuhao and Jiang Tianyuan have not been out in the courtyard of the city for a long time. In the past two days, they have been studying information about Xiao Wuchang, including Xiao Wuchang's resume and Xiao Wuchang's past.
After the battle, the three of them came to a conclusion in the past two days. The conclusion is very simple and only has one sentence. Xiao Wuchang has never failed in any place he wanted to capture.
"There is a first time for everything. Let us give Xiao Wuchang his first defeat!" Ling Yuhao's expression still looked so calm, as if the hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city were in vain.
However, this time they do have enough capital to fight against the army led by Xiao Wuchang. The current situation in Xiangcheng and Yunling City are simply two extremes. Although Yunling City's city defense is excellent, it is not as good as the other major cities.
It can only be ranked at the bottom among them. Whether it is the equipment to defend the city or the food and grass, the number of people cannot be compared with Xiang Cheng. In addition to the previous 70,000 defenders, Xiangcheng also borrowed 30,000 troops from Yuzhou, a total of 10
The army of ten thousand, plus the fact that Xiangcheng now has elites from the Zhengwei battalion led by Lei Qian and Ling Yuhao respectively, makes them full of confidence in defending Xiangcheng.
The most critical factor is that Xiangcheng is not as miserable as the defenders of Yunling City. They suffered a big blow before the war. After forcing You Dacheng's army away, Xiangcheng closed the city gates and allowed them to leave.
Enter, this way you can isolate anyone from the other side who sneaks into the city. Of course, if it is someone who came in before, there is nothing you can do.
"Report to General, Military Advisor, Xiao Wuchang has not made any move so far!" The arrival of the messenger gave the three people who had been working so hard a chance to breathe. The three people's movements were almost synchronized and they leaned on the chairs behind them.
superior.
Jiang Tianyuan ordered the messengers to report to them the situation of Xiao Wuchang's army every quarter of an hour. Xiao Wuchang fought without any rules. This situation had never happened in the battle cases they had studied. This made Jiang
Tianyuan and the others were very uneasy, so they needed to be very accurate in collecting intelligence.
What masters use to compete is internal strength. Now I can't move if the enemy can't move. The three of them all wanted to see what Xiao Wuchang was up to.
"I think this Xiao Wuchang is trying to test us. He wants us to make the first move. Although he is passive, he can understand our strength to a certain extent." Ling Yuhao moved for a while.
Said with a sore neck.
"What we have to do now is to recuperate, eat well, drink well and sleep well. Xiao Wuchang's army can arrive here at such a fast speed without much food and grass. He is still a little short of a battle of attrition."
Lei Qian sneered and shook his head.
"Xiao Wuchang has experienced many battles and will understand this truth. Although he did not care about the consumption of food, grass and weapons in the past battles, this is an objective problem. Xiao Wuchang must have an account book in his heart. I feel that he
He should be waiting for someone, or perhaps waiting for an opportunity." Jiang Tianyuan still has no way of guessing Xiao Wuchang's thoughts, so he can only make an assumption first.
After Jiang Tianyuan finished speaking, the three of them fell into silence again. Jiang Tianyuan stared blankly at the stone table in front of him for a while and then suddenly smiled as if a flash of light flashed in his eyes. This smile surprised Lei Qian and Ling Yuhao.
Chapter completed!
