Three thousand Xi people are just one thousand taels of carriages. They are called horse and chariots, but they are more like chariots. One person drives, and one person holds a bow and arrow, and the other person holds a spear. Perhaps siege battles are not practical, but field battles are good, so it may be miraculous when used at critical moments.

However, after all, it is made of all wood, so it is still difficult to travel far with loads. So when you don’t fight, the Xi people walk. Although the Xi people are used to driving carriages, they live in the mountains and forests for many years, and of course they are good at fighting in the field. The most important thing is that the Xi people belong to the hunting nation and everyone is a sharpshooter.

Zou Yu did not think of them as stormtroopers. After all, the carriage is not as flexible as a war horse and is easily regarded as a living target. However, it is great to be used as an archer. Especially in the wild, the carriage can also be used as an obstacle and can also be equipped with some supplies. At least it is more carriage than a single cavalry. He is not picky about the road and can be repaired and replaced by himself if it is broken. In a few days, Zou Yu discovered many advantages of the Xi people. Although Xi people had joined Fuyu City before, they really didn't pay attention to these.

"It seems that we will explore more of the strengths of ethnic minorities in the future." Zou Yu thought to himself.

With logistics, it is indeed slower to travel, but fortunately they are all safe along the way. After all, after all, after Yang Guang’s disaster in the past three years, all those who can run away were gone. It is truly uninhabited by thousands of miles.

When I passed by the new city, I stayed for one night. The city wall was destroyed and the people were half forced to move away by Goguryeo, especially the people in the city. Now a city is in a dilapidated city and some refugees live in, but for Zou Yu and his army, they are not worried at all.

………………………………………

Liaodong City! As soon as Su Dingfang arrived, he arranged for troops to block the surrounding roads in case someone went out of the city for help.

Half a day later, Zhang Zhongjian and others arrived with the large army and got off the camp two miles away.

"I didn't expect that we came to Liaodong City in this way." Zhang Zhongjian sighed.

Three years ago, everyone tried every means to come here so as to return to the Central Plains, but they returned disappointed. Now they are back at the city, so they naturally feel emotional.

"We will definitely go back openly." Mr. Li said vigorously, as if he was giving himself a determination.

"Of course! We will do what Yang Guang cannot do, and Liaodong City will be decided!" Zhang Zhongjian said angrily.

"I must avenge my brothers!" Qin Qiong said coldly. He remembered the brothers who had cut off the rear and revisited the old place. His face, which seemed to be tragically dead, appeared before his eyes again.

"Although the imperial court did not conquer the Liaodong city, it still had a lot of damage. It can be seen that many places have been repaired." After wandering around the city and looking for flaws, Li Keshi pointed to the city wall and said.

"Although the emperor is stupid, the soldiers are not vegetarians. They fought around for several months and broke the city many times. If it weren't for the shameless and multiple surrenders of the Goguryeo people, they would have been defeated long ago." Qin Qiong explained that the person here was he who participated in the battle in Liaodong City, so he was more clear.

"How do we do it? Let's fight first, or wait for the city lord to come." Zhang Zhongjian asked.

"According to news, there are about 20,000 defenders in Liaodong City. If you attack immediately, you may suffer too much casualties. You might as well pretend to be siege the city and lure reinforcements around you. First, you will destroy the periphery first, and wait for the city lord to send siege equipment. It is not too late to fight." Li Keshi suggested.

"Okay! We have many cavalrymen, so we don't have to siege them from all sides. We just need to arrange cavalry patrols. As long as there is no large-scale breakthrough, we will be released." Zhang Zhongjian agreed.

Then, Master Li arranged for Qin Qiong, Su Dingfang and Fang Zhengfang to take turns patrolling, while others made some equipment nearby to prepare for the siege.

With Liu Rengui's hard work for two or three months, the situation around him has been clearly understood. The nearby county towns have not many troops. Even if they support them, they have to join forces, so they only need to arrange manpower to monitor them. In the field, there are so many cavalrymen, but they are not just for a good meal.

In fact, there are many cities near Liaodong City, such as Xuantu, Gaimu, Lishan, Baiyan, etc., but these are not strong cities. During the first Eastern Expedition, Yang Guang asked his troops to divide into nine groups and they all fought. After experiencing wars, there were few people, and they have not stopped in the past two years. Of course, there are more people fleeing, so there are certainly not many troops stationed in Goguryeo.

On this side, Zhang Zhongjian and others surrounded the site to help, but Silla was fighting fiercely.

In early April, Silla sent troops, and this time he was determined to avenge his previous shame. While taking revenge, he also wanted to take advantage of the turbulent period of Goguryeo's new king's rise to power.

He sent 150,000 troops to attack Goguryeo in the north, and ended in seven consecutive cities, Dongbi, Kaicheng and Niuqin, and only encountered Goguryeo's heavy troops until he divided his troops to attack Haicheng and Duogu.

Goguryeo was about to mobilize the army to quickly defeat Silla. It was known that Duofayue City had sent troops again, and the Dato Mountain Pass was quickly occupied. At the same time, scouts had already appeared in the domestic city, near Yalu City.

He often attacked Yue to Yalu City. The domestic city area was flat and there were many targets of attack. This made Goguryeo not pay attention to it. In addition to urgently dispatching troops, Yizhi Wende also drew Yang Wanchun, a general who had just emerged, to guard the domestic city.

It was in the past two years of defensive battle that Yang Wanchun showed outstanding abilities and quickly showed his talents.

Instead of defending the Dashu Mountain Pass, Han Qianxun led three thousand cavalry to sweep along the way. Not only did he arrange a large number of scouts, pull out all his eyes, and make Goguryeo turn blind to the north, and do it easily with a dog, but he also forced all the villages he found.

What Fuyu City lacks the most now is people, so it can increase the chance of manpower. It doesn’t want to miss it. When you see people, you can even coax and deceive them. If you get them back, you can throw them into the mine to mine. This city has the habit of everyone.

If these Goguryeo can barely deal with it, then the Baekje warships appearing on the coastline will make it worse.

On the sixth day of the sixth month, Zou Yu and his troops finally arrived at the city of Liaodong. At this time, Liaodong City had been trapped for half a month.

In the past half a month, Li Keshi has not even made a tentative attack, just like he is here to travel, except for not allowing large-scale personnel from the city to come out, there is no other movement.

Of course, Liaodong City arranged a lot of people to break through and ask for help. After all, tens of thousands of people were trapped in the city, eating, drinking, and urinating are all a big problem. In order to deal with possible attacks, the food in Liaodong City was enough to last for more than half a year, but there was no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days. Over time, the spirit of the guards was constantly shattering. Sooner or later, they would not be able to stand it and would be more likely to have flaws.
