In terms of the size of the city, Thang Long City is the same as an ordinary county seat, except that some of the decorations are slightly different, making it appear a bit high-end. In fact, in terms of solidity, it may not be as good as some county towns in the Daji Dynasty.
It was the first time that he was on his own. Liu Quande was still full of passion. He wanted to make a name for himself, so he chose Sheng Long City. Liu Quande also made a careful decision. It was neither strong nor weak, and he could practice without being ridiculed by others. He only dared to pick weak persimmons.
.
However, the situation that Liu Quande was thinking about was very different from the current real situation. Among other things, in order to reduce logistical pressure, the remaining troops of the coalition forces of small countries were scattered among the capitals of various countries, so that they could easily obtain food.
In other words, there were reinforcements inside Thang Long City. Although part of the domestic troops were transferred to the outside world, due to this gain and loss, the final defenders not only did not decrease, but actually increased.
In this way, Liu Quande's original idea of taking advantage of the situation is not valid, because there is no so-called weakness at all, and he is stronger than before. How can you achieve your original strategic goal?
However, because he had received the military order, Liu Quande had already put his life and property on the line here, holding down the formation again and again, even leading the charge himself. Sometimes, he even climbed to the top of the city, but was pushed down and thrown down.
Stars are shining in my eyes.
If he had known this information earlier, he would not have chosen such a place. Liu Quande felt bitter in his heart and couldn't express it. He was boasting at first, but now he has boasted too much and will never come back.
However, Liu Quande was not completely helpless. When he fell from the top of the city, he ordered his troops to hold a funeral ceremony, pretended that he was dead, and pretended to retreat. As expected, the soldiers in Shenglong City sent troops to make a surprise attack. As a result,
Of course I was made into dumplings.
This kind of method may only be used by people like Liu Quande who come from a local gangster background. In their hearts, the methods are secondary. What is really important is the final result. Only those who survive can
Qualified to discuss the pros and cons.
In this battle, the defenders of the city lost 5,000 troops and lost the ability to fight outside the city. After that, they did not participate in the field battles no matter how provocative Liu Quande was. If they lost two more troops in the field battles, they would not even be able to defend the city.
There are not enough men and horses!
One side avoided fighting and waited for assistance, and the situation reached a deadlock. This state remained until Wu Yi arrived in person.
After Wu Yi arrived, Liu Quande knelt down to welcome him, but did not dare to get up for a long time. He was so frightened that he was afraid that Wu Yi would punish him. Because Liu Quande had offended many people before, Wu Yi had to make a gesture, otherwise no one would obey his orders, and the problem would be big.
, do you want to bring the team?
However, in the end, Wu Yi just raised it high and put it down gently, allowing Liu Quande to atone for his sins and serve as the vanguard to attack the city again.
This time, Wu Yi used all his men and horses, without even preparing a reserve army, to attack the city with all his strength. If men and horses suddenly appeared from behind at this time, the battle would be defeated.
In the final analysis, Wu Yi continued to gamble. Of course, it cannot be completely called a gamble. After all, before the main force retreats, leaving a force in the rear to confuse the enemy cannot be said to be completely useless. At least it can save himself some money.
Time comes.
Being chased continuously and unable to return home, everyone in the army was holding back their breath. When they fell into battle, they were brave and diligent until death. The long arrows shot by the slaves on the bed had a foothold.
The soldiers climbed onto the city wall one by one, shouting to kill, and restrained the people and horses on the city wall.
Then, more and more soldiers climbed to the top of the city. With an absolute numerical advantage, in less than an hour, the battle on the city wall was basically over, and street fighting began.
Although others tried to dissuade him, Wu Yi still climbed to the top of the city and began to look at the scene in the city. The dangers of street fighting were no less dangerous than the offensive and defensive battles at the top of the city, because you never know who is the enemy inside the gate.
Or ordinary people, because many people have both identities.
Naturally, Wu Yi would not choose street fighting. He did not break Shenglong City to govern the place, but for the food and grass in the treasury and the deterrent effect that killing the royal family of the country could bring.
The northern city is considered a poor area with many wooden houses. Wu Yi sent people to spread the news that the North City will be burned down. Upon hearing this news, the people fled in panic and quickly escaped. Tens of thousands of people were not allowed to leave the city.
He could only turn into a mob to pry open the doors of those big households, and the two would fight, saving Wu Yi's efforts.
The fire burned the city, and the North City was quickly burned to ashes. From the North City to the Imperial City, just like the previous times, they charged the royal family of the country with no defense and killed them on the spot, and then took over their treasury as a reward.
In fact, the savings in the national treasury are far less than Wu Yi imagined. In order to build this alliance of small countries, each country has almost emptied its own wealth.
Some soldiers were dissatisfied and took advantage of the chaos to break open the doors of some dignitaries and commit robberies. This was understandable, because almost every army would do this.
It was only Wu Yi who severely reprimanded and whipped those erring soldiers in front of everyone that suppressed this trend. Everyone was puzzled, and Wu Yi had no intention of explaining. After staying in Shenglong City for half a day, he evacuated again, which seemed a little bit.
Hastily.
Defending the city, without external aid, is still a new city. Facing several times the enemy's strength, how can it be possible to succeed? Maintaining one's own mobility, saving people and abandoning the ground is the most important thing.
Today's heavenly secrets have become extremely chaotic. Even the fortune-telling astrolabe shows a variety of cause and effect changes. In fact, this is indeed the case. Who dares to say the final outcome now?
After evacuating Thang Long City and running for days, there was almost no rest or recuperation. If Wu Yi had not relied on his own prestige, the camp roar would have occurred long ago.
People around him thought that Wu Yi was worried about being surrounded by the enemy, which was naturally the reason. However, Wu Yi's retreat was definitely not just a retreat, but an attack, which was different.
Calculating the advancing speed of the enemy's main force in his mind, Wu Yi rested in a dense forest and prepared to intercept the enemy here.
In the battle of Shenglong City, Liu Quande was convicted and made meritorious service. Now he has become a popular figure around Wu Yi. Now he offered to set up defenses all around. Wu Yi did not refuse, but asked another army to join him in the defense.
Tens of thousands of horses and horses just "disappeared" in the dense forest, quietly waiting for their prey to fall into the trap.
With Thang Long City as the fulcrum, the passive situation in the war situation will be changed. Once the arrogance of the small country alliance is suppressed, the future will be bright again.
