() Even if the Winged Lion King retracts its wings, it is still very fast. It can travel thousands of miles in a day. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is lightning fast.
The place where Liu Yu came out of the Tianhuang Mountains was close to the west of the Ming Dynasty, a place called Weiguo. After Liu Yu asked for the road clearly, he rode the Purple Winged Lion King and headed northeast.
After walking for several days, Liu Yu was lucky, and there were no obstacles along the way, so he successfully entered the territory of the Ming Dynasty. He arrived at Yunzhou in the Ming Dynasty, and Beiyan County was in the north of Yunzhou, so the distance was not too far away.
Liu Yu rode the purple-winged lion king and entered the city, intending to buy some supplies, take a rest and have some food. The people around him saw the strange beast he was sitting on, and they all made way for him, making him quite uncomfortable.
.
Arriving at a small restaurant, Liu Yu asked the Purple Winged Lion King to guard outside and walked straight in. The waiter saw Liu Yu walking in and saw Liu Yu dressed in luxurious clothes, so he welcomed her warmly.
He came up and shouted attentively, "Do you want to be a guest or stay in a hotel?"
Liu Yu smiled and said, "I'll eat and serve the best food in your store. Hurry up, I'm in a hurry."
This is a big customer. If you serve him well, he will probably receive a reward. When the customer comes, the waiter has already developed a pair of sharp eyes. He immediately responds, "Don't worry, sir, I'll be there soon. I guarantee your satisfaction."
Liu Yu found a quiet place, sat down, and waited quietly. He overheard the conversations of several people nearby.
"This Yan State has gone too far. It went to war without declaring it."
"That is, six or seven years ago, during the Ming-Yan War, the old emperor of the Yan Kingdom died, and the new king came to the throne. He reconciled with my Ming Dynasty, and my Ming Dynasty agreed. I didn't expect that the white-eyed wolf of the Yan Kingdom would attack my Ming Dynasty after licking his wounds."
"The most hateful thing is the people in the imperial court. Marshal Chen of the Northern Army is struggling to resist at the front, but they don't even send troops."
"That is, the most hateful thing is Zhao Guiren, who dares to fight for power with His Majesty with the support of Wu Tuesday's family. Your Majesty sent troops several times, but they did not agree and insisted on appointing one of their own as the commander-in-chief."
"Then Zhao Guiren despises the imperial power, and the Wu Zhou family are also accomplices. They really deserve to be killed!"
"That's right, these traitors and traitors should all be killed."
Liu Yu on the side, the more he listened, the more something was wrong. He didn't expect that so many things had happened just a short time after he left, and the Yan Kingdom actually invaded. Liu Yu couldn't sit still, and hurriedly ran to the table next to him to ask for advice.
"Brothers, please be polite." Liu Yu bowed to these people first, and this gesture was obviously very useful to them.
Seeing that Liu Yu was dressed luxuriously, it was obvious that she was either rich or noble. Several people did not dare to pretend to be big, and stood up one after another, "Brother, there is no need to be polite."
Liu Yu did not beat around the bush and said straight to the point, "Brothers, some of you just said that Yan invaded. What is going on? Can you help me clarify my doubts?"
"Brother, how come you don't know about this? This has happened more than ten days ago." Several people were obviously very surprised that Liu Yu didn't know about Yan's invasion.
Regarding the questions raised by several people, Liu Yu could only tell lies with open eyes. "Brothers, I have been studying in other countries and have just come back. I don't know many things."
Upon hearing that Liu Yu was studying abroad in another country, several people were instantly in awe. Studying abroad in other countries these days is similar to studying abroad in previous lives. Those who are either talented or rich and powerful!
"It turns out that my brother is actually studying in another country. No wonder he doesn't know that the invasion of Yan has been widely spread."
"Brother, it was about half a month ago! The Yan State suddenly launched an undeclared war and occupied Tianbi Pass, the throat of the northern Ming Dynasty, and occupied two county towns in one day. Fortunately, Marshal Chen of the Northern Army discovered it in time.
Otherwise, I'm afraid the entire Beiyan County will fall."
"Wait a minute, since Tianbi Pass is the throat of the north, how could it be conquered by Yan in a single battle?"
"Brother, you don't know." The speaker was speechless to Liu Yu, and said as if he was deliberately showing off, "Six or seven years ago, the State of Yan took the initiative to make peace with me, the Ming Dynasty. To show sincerity, they withdrew their Qingfeng
All the garrison of Tianbi Pass. In order to show the demeanor of a great nation, our Ming Dynasty, most of the garrison of Tianbi Pass also withdrew."
"What?" Hearing the answer, Liu Yu was greatly surprised, "It's not such a joke! It's their business to withdraw their troops. Why should we withdraw? I asked why the main force of the Northern Army was stationed outside the county city instead of Tianbi Pass. It turned out that
That’s right!”
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He was still acting like a great nation. They were not all kingdoms of the lowest level. For the sake of face, he almost gave up the passes. What were the ministers in the court thinking?
"Then His Majesty sent troops several times, but was stopped by Zhao Guiren. What's going on?"
As soon as Liu Yu asked, they found that several people suddenly became indignant: "Zhao Guiren, this bitch wants to get involved in the military power. Your Majesty sent troops, Zhao Guiren insisted on appointing Chao Wu Jiang as general. Your Majesty did not agree, and supported Zhao Guiren's Wu and Zhou families."
, they just used various excuses and said they couldn’t send troops. Do they think everyone in the world is a fool?"
Liu Yu then asked, "Can Marshal Chen be supported in Beiyan County?"
Several people obviously expressed their anger, "Marshal Chen only has an army of 300,000 troops, and Tianbi Pass and two dangerous county towns have also been lost. Except for Qingyun County in the front, there is basically no danger to defend. The opponent has 600,000 troops."
A large army of 600,000! Do you think it can withstand it? Marshal Chen has few soldiers and dare not fight decisively, so he can only drag it out slowly."
After hearing what they said, Liu Yu frowned, obviously the answer surprised Liu Yu. Liu Yu immediately bowed to these people, "Thank you for wanting to sue," and then walked out quickly.
This was when the waiter was bringing the dishes. When he saw Liu Yu walking out, he was startled: "Sir, don't you want to eat?"
"I won't eat, I'm in a hurry"
"Ah! You can't stop eating! What will I do if you don't eat?"
"I'll give you the meal money, I won't miss you." Liu Yu's words were heard from afar, and a piece of silver was handed in.
The waiter caught the money, bit it hard and said, "Really", and immediately put it carefully into his arms. He did not forget to shout loudly and respectfully, "Sir, please go slowly. Come back often when you have time."
Hearing this, Liu Yu outside staggered, "You really think I'm being taken advantage of."
Liu Yu rode on the Purple Winged Lion King and bought some steamed buns on the street. He was going to eat them slowly while walking on the road.
At the same time, Beiyan County and Qingyun County.
At this time, the city wall in Qingyun County, which was originally only five feet high, has now been increased to eight feet high. This height is one foot higher than most counties in the mainland.
But the eight-foot-high city wall could not stop the enemy's attack outside the city. The heavy rain of arrows made the Ming army on the city unable to raise their heads. Shields and oars were placed on their heads to block the front, and the defenders bowed their bows.
The crossbowmen could only blindly fire arrows through the observation holes on the city wall, and then return the favor a little.
The Ming army defending the city fought hard, using rolling logs, nails and rakes, and all means to stop the Yan army. However, the enemy was outnumbered and we were greatly disparity in strength. One day, two days, three days...
After more than ten days of offensive, the Yan Army commanders have used every method. Qingyun County is not only as solid as a rock, but is also being continuously reinforced. Now the Yan Army commanders have only one way, and that is to drive the people of the Ming Dynasty to carry sand and soil with them.
The cloth bags rushed to the city wall and piled up a high slope under the city wall.
Unmeasurable bags filled with sand and soil were piled up under the city wall. No matter how high the city wall or how deep the moat was, it was enough to pave a slow slope of sand and soil under it. In the end, they made it very easy for their horses to step on it.
City head.
Although this is only a method that cannot be called very clever, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it makes it possible for horses to ride on the city. Of course, the Yan army outside Qingyun City is willing to use this method now, it is also because they have discovered that the Ming Dynasty can be driven
Many people came to fill the bags for them, which not only greatly reduced their own casualties, but also greatly reduced the morale of the Ming army.
At noon, there was a short period of silence in front of the city of Jiutai County, but the atmosphere before the bloody battle became more solemn. After the meal, I heard waves of horns, and suddenly there were shouts of death outside the city.
.
The defenders no longer passively evaded. They were the elite of the Northern Army. Facing the overwhelming Yan army that was driving away the people, thousands of Ming soldiers with bows and arrows and powerful crossbows, under the leadership of the army chief,
Waiting attentively without fear.
The people driven by the Yan army were getting closer and closer, and the leader of the Ming army was hesitant. The sword he held tightly in his hand trembled and slashed forward in the void, shouting: "Let go".
Suddenly, the sky turned dark. The Yan army in the distance seemed to be pushed by an invisible giant hand. The momentum of the charge suddenly stopped. The Yan army at the front fell down row by row. Of course, the casualties were the highest.
They are still the people of the Ming Dynasty.
The crossbows were limited and could not be fired continuously, so they had to take a rest after a few shots. The commander of the Yan army obviously knew this, so he turned a blind eye to the soldiers who died in the battle. As for the people of the Ming Dynasty, he did not consider it at all.
.
Slowly, the soil slopes on the east, west, north and west sides have been built, leaving only the southern city wall empty. The strategy of surrounding three and one missing is almost the consensus of all leading generals. This does not respect national boundaries.
Finally, the Yan army followed the slope and successfully attacked the city. The 20,000 defenders were wiped out. Qingyun County, the last barrier of Beiyan County, was finally controlled by the Yan army.
