"Speak quickly."

Li Kun said: "The first is to cut off all food and grass supplies in the city; the second is to besiege without attacking and build an earthen wall near the city wall, which will not only preserve our strength but also create psychological pressure on the enemy; the third is to quietly build trebuchets to

Prepare for a general attack."

Qian Yuqing couldn't help but nod.

Simply besieging the city without attacking it, and building an earthen wall when the city wall is decaying is cruel enough.

Just think about it, you are sitting at home, and you suddenly find that someone has built a high wall near your house, preparing to surround you in the house. How do you feel?

That depressing feeling is bound to come like a tide.

It doesn't matter if you are the only one in your home, but if there are several people, what should you do if you are bound to start arguing with each other immediately?

"In this case, the Zhan people will come out to fight in the field?" Qian Yuqing asked Li Bao.

Li Bao said: "The chance of coming out is extremely high."

"Okay, that's it."

Qian Yuqing had no choice but to do this. If he had elite infantry armor and a large number of powerful crossbows, he wouldn't need to use these tactics at all, he could just go ahead and do it.

However, nothing in this world is perfect.

The soldiers of the Song Dynasty were not familiar with naval warfare. Let alone come to fight in the city, even if they went south and stayed in Guangzhou for a period of time, they might fall ill, and life at sea might even kill them.

It can be said that the first generation navy of the Song Dynasty had to rely on a layman like him.

Fortunately, the imperial court provides people with money and policies.

That Zhao En is in a wretched dungeon.

A large number of occupying troops have gathered in the city, and the whole street is densely packed with people.

The occupying army had just been suppressed, their morale was damaged, and the soldiers in the city were also frightened and confused.

Everyone looked at the people on the ground who had been shot to death by the arrows just now, with expressions of horror on their faces.

"Don't panic, everyone. The Song army has stopped attacking now. They don't dare to get close!" Zhao En shouted loudly.

The Song army's attack did stop.

Many people looked up and looked outside, seemingly convinced of Zhao En's words.

However, they had little impression of the Song army. Many of them had never seen the Song people, let alone how many of them came there.

Zhao En continued: "The Song people only came with a few thousand people. Their bows and arrows are indeed excellent, but the number is limited. As long as we guard the tower, they will not be able to attack!"

One of Zhaoen's men said: "Commander, why don't you attack us?"

"Don't be anxious, why are you anxious? When the time comes, we will eliminate them in one fell swoop."

After saying this, he hurried to the palace.

Harivarman was drinking and having fun in the palace when Sumei came.

"how?"

"The Song army only came with a few thousand people, and they were all crooked and cracked, not worth mentioning."

Harivarman smiled and said, "Then what are your plans?"

"The Song Army is working hard on an expedition. We don't need to pay attention to the Song Army. The Song Army cannot attack at all. As long as we hold on, the Song Army will withdraw soon."

Harivarman said: "What if there is not enough food and grass in the city?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Even if a lot of people outside starve to death, Your Majesty will still have the usual fair and beautiful women."

"Okay, I believe you, just go ahead and do it."

Early the next morning, the Song army began to build an earth wall outside the city.

At first, the occupying army at the top of the city did not know what the Song army wanted to do. It was not until two days later that the earth wall became higher and longer, and they realized that the Song army was building a wall.

Li Kun came back and said: "Shaoqing, I took someone to take a look around. The food in Champa City is really abundant. The crops in the countryside are piled at home. We don't have to worry about food and grass at all."

"When we capture the Champa Kingdom, we can continuously transport food back here." Qian Yuqing said to his staff.

Everyone looked happy.

Why are you all willing to follow Qian Yuqing after all your hard work?

Are you really here to serve the Song Dynasty court?

This is a bit nonsense. Everyone is not related to Zhao Guan's family. One is in Tokyo and the other is in Guangzhou. Why should they risk their lives for Zhao Guan's family?

However, Champa is rich in products. If we capture this place, merchant ships will be able to flow smoothly and we will make a fortune.

This kind of interest drives everyone, and they are very motivated.

A few days later, the siege built by the Song army was already two hundred meters long. At first glance, it looked like a cage. The occupying troops on the tower became more and more anxious.

The city wall was not made of bricks, but made of mounds of earth and wood.

"Commander, the Song people's city walls are getting longer and longer."

Zhao En's face was gloomy. He didn't expect Song Jun to be so shameless and even think of such a trick.

If the whole city was surrounded, let alone whether he was willing to fight, I'm afraid the soldiers on the tower would go crazy after seeing this scene.

If the people in the city knew that the north of the city was surrounded like a cage, they would probably go crazy again.

At this time, Prime Minister Yin Jiang Tao arrived at the palace.

Harivarman said: "Prime Minister, if you want to persuade me to release him, there is no need to waste your efforts."

"Your Majesty, do you know what the Song Army is doing now?"

"what are you doing?"

"Are they building the city wall?"

"City wall?" Harivarman stopped the cup in his hand.

"That's right, they are building a city wall to surround the royal city."

"What's the point? Let them fix it. Anyway, I'm in the palace, and there are so many warriors from my country outside. As long as the Song army can't get in, everything will be in vain."

"Your Majesty, if the Song army really surrounded the royal city, it means that no food can be transported in, and the entire royal city will be sealed." Yin Jiangtao said worriedly, "Think about it, if the soldiers saw these sieges every day

Our city walls, what will become of them?"

"What will happen?"

"They will go crazy." Yin Jiangtao said hoarsely, "like wild beasts trapped in a cage."

"The Prime Minister is worrying too much."

"If your people knew about it, what would they do?"

"What will they do?" asked Harivarman.

"They will have internal strife, and there will be people who disrupt the order in the city." Yin Jiangtao continued, "There is a saying in China that people's hearts are like water, and people's movements are like smoke."

Harivarman murmured: "The human heart is like water, and the movement of the people is like smoke..."

Yes, the human heart is very sensitive and weak, and can easily become unstable.

Even if a person is fine, it won't have any impact if he collapses.

But what about a group of people?

What would happen if a group of people collapsed?

Yin Jiang Tao said: "Once chaos breaks out within the royal city, it will be too late."

He said that Harivarman's face turned gloomy, and he immediately ordered his chamberlain: "Go! Call Zhao En!"

The favor came soon.

"Zhao En, the Song army is building a wall outside. Do you know about this?"

"Your Majesty, I know."

"You know, why aren't you taking any action?"

"Your Majesty, I plan to wait for the Song army to practice for a while to consume their physical strength before taking action..."

"Fart!" Harivarman said, "Now organize the army and go out to fight the Song army!"

Because Jiang Tao immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. Letting people go and making peace as soon as possible is the right way."

"Shut up!" Harivarman said angrily.

He looked at Zhao En again and said, "I gave you fifty thousand troops, but you let them wander on the tower every day. You don't even have the courage to fight the Song army head-on. What do you want to do!"

Zhao En immediately said: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will lead the army out to kill those Song troops!"

Qian Yuqing was drinking fruit wine outside the city. He found that Champa not only had a lot of food, but also a lot of fruits on the trees.

There are quite a few folk brewing fruit wine.

This thing can be sold for a lot of money if shipped back.
