A large number of troops have gathered at the border of Heshuote. East Chagatai General Ayi Futu, leading one hundred thousand soldiers, will capture Heshuote today.
"General Futu, Heshuote is ahead. Do we want to attack now?"
The general said in a deep voice.
"This battle must be fought quickly. Ahead is a city at the very edge of Heshuote. It is said that there are a large number of firearms given by the Ming Dynasty stored in it!"
"Haha! These firearms were originally intended to deal with us, but now that the old Nalan Eagle is not here, it is a good opportunity for us to attack!"
Ayi Futu said with a sneer.
"Haha! General Futu, that is a firearm that can equip one hundred thousand soldiers. As long as we get it, our strength will definitely increase several times!"
The general laughed and said.
"Hmph! Doesn't this general know this?
Attack with speed, we must capture this city as soon as possible!"
Ayi Futu said with a sneer.
Then, one hundred thousand soldiers quickly marched forward to Heshuote Sifang City.
This city is of great significance to Heshuote. It is the first pass blocking Dongchagatai.
If this place is lost, then the entire Heshuote will be surrounded by flames of war. Therefore, Nalan Eagle placed all the firearms given by the Ming Dynasty here.
Moreover, there are fifty thousand defenders in this city. Of course, there were not that many people before. It was only after Nalan Yanran married Lin Fan that a large number of troops were transferred here.
"Well! Not good! The people from East Chagatai are here!"
At this time, someone discovered Dongchagatai's army on the city wall.
Then, 50,000 soldiers immediately gathered and equipped all the firearms. Ayi Futu looked at the soldiers on the city wall with a solemn look in his eyes.
"kindness?
How come there are so many defenders in this city!"
Ayi Futu said in a deep voice.
"Back to the general, the relationship between Heshuote and the Ming Dynasty was somewhat tense before. But now, the princess of Heshuote is married to the prince Lin Fan of the Ming Dynasty, and has given birth to an heir. There is absolutely no relationship between Heshuote and the Ming Dynasty.
If a war breaks out, we will be the only enemy."
The general said in a deep voice.
"Haha! He Shuote's arrangement like this can only cause some obstacles for us. Kill!"
Ayi Futu said with a sneer.
An army of 100,000 people can still capture a city with 50,000 defenders.
kill!
In an instant, one hundred thousand troops burst out with powerful murderous intent, and one hundred thousand people marched towards Sifang City in a mighty manner, with the siege equipment at the forefront.
A large number of troops were about to arrive. On the city wall, a general ordered an attack. In an instant, everyone took out firearms, including firecrackers and red cannons.
Boom!
With the firing of firearms, the people at the front were instantly reduced to powder, bursts of wailing sounds echoed through the sky, and the army of 100,000 lost nearly 10,000 people in an instant.
"General Futu! What to do!"
A general became anxious when he saw so many people lost in an instant.
"Withdraw! What else can we do!"
Ayi Futu said coldly.
Now, apart from retreating, Ayi Futu could not think of any other way.
A hundred thousand troops, many of whom died in an instant, retreated to a safe area. Ayi Futu ordered the entire army to surround the city and not allow any supplies to be sent in.
"General! If we continue to delay, I'm afraid Heshuote's reinforcements are about to arrive!"
The general said in a deep voice.
"Hmph! Even if Heshuote's reinforcements arrive, what will happen?
We still have more than 90,000 people, and we can completely resist them. His reinforcements cannot carry so many firearms!"
Ayi Futu said coldly.
He gave the order and the soldiers surrounded Sifang City. On the city wall, Cheng Moshou frowned as he watched Sifang City being surrounded.
Sifang City is the first line of defense adjacent to East Chagatai. There are a large number of firearms and troops deployed in it. Therefore, it can be said to be the safest and most dangerous city.
If the gunpowder inside explodes, half of the city can be blown into ruins. Therefore, the population of this city is not large.
A small population means that there are definitely not many supplies in reserve. Based on the current situation of Sifang City, as long as it is surrounded for ten days, the city will run out of food.
Moreover, because wars often occur here, the people's spirits are always tense. If they are surrounded at this time, the city will inevitably be unstable.
"General Cheng, let's fight out. With firearms in hand, it's not a problem for 50,000 people to kill 100,000 of them!"
One person said.
"Haha! Didn't you see that the 100,000 people brought by Ayi Futu were all wearing heavy armor?
If we just use fire cannons, it will be difficult to penetrate their heavy armor!"
"At that time, the effect of firearms will be minimal. We are no match in close combat, and artillery will be too difficult to move!"
"Therefore, we can only wait for them to take the initiative to attack and then counterattack!"
Cheng Moshou sneered.
"But, we don't have enough food and grass!"
A soldier said solemnly.
"With insufficient food and grass, can't we still last for ten days?
In ten days, someone will naturally come to save us!"
Cheng Moshou said in a deep voice.
He knew very well that the Sifang City was under siege, and the Nalan Eagle far away in the capital would definitely receive the news and would return to Heshuote without stopping.
At that time, the Ming Dynasty's army will also follow. This Dongchagatai is looking for death!
"General! Even if reinforcements arrive, they won't be able to arrive within ten days!"
The general said in a deep voice.
He knew better than anyone else the deployment of Heshuote's troops. Even if Nalan Eagle came back, it would be impossible to mobilize all the troops to Sifang City within ten days.
"What you said is impossible is just in your opinion. In my opinion, reinforcements will arrive in three days at most!"
Cheng Moshou was very confident about this.
With the deployment of Heshuote's troops, it is true that reinforcements cannot arrive, but if Jin Yiwei is added, then everything is possible.
"General, I am willing to lead 20,000 people to go out and give it a try. I will just test it out once or twice, and then I will come back. With the help of artillery, the loss will not be huge!"
The general said in a deep voice.
"No need, let all soldiers guard their positions!"
Cheng Moshou said with a smile.
At this time, outside Sifang City, a team of 20,000 Jinyi guards were stationed. The place was very hidden and could not be discovered even by people on the city walls.
"Sir, Sifang City has been surrounded, do we want to kill it?"
one person asked.
"There's no rush. We don't know what's going on inside at this time. If we rush in hastily, we will only cause more trouble for ourselves."
The commander of the Jin Yiwei said in a deep voice.
When they came, Lin Fan's order was to cooperate with the defenders of Sifang City inside and outside. Now that the defenders have not fought out, they will just stay stationed.
Cheng Moshou was also betting. He said that the reinforcements would be back in three days, just to appease the morale of the troops. After three days, regardless of whether the reinforcements arrived or not, he would lead his troops out!
