Chapter 1020 Strange Letters
When the war drums sounded in Wuguan, 20,000 Yan army infantry came slowly outside the city. After the infantry, there were thousands of elite cavalry pressing down on the formation. The siege vehicles that had not been moved for a long time also appeared in the vast field.
The land outside the customs.
Black clouds were pressing down on the city, and the city was about to be destroyed. The tens of thousands of troops were pressed in a black cloud, just like the black clouds. However, the Liang army defending the city did not show any fear at all. They had also been waiting for this day for a long time.
The man who was in charge of attacking the city was still so naked. Ever since Mu Yunba was killed by the Liang army, he felt indescribably happy. He even worked harder to train his soldiers in the military camp on weekdays.
Looking at the Wuguan city, which had been waiting for a long time, Tuotuo Buhua stood in front of the horse formation and calmly waved his hand: "Let's get started."
A cavalry messenger galloped out and shouted angrily:
"General's order, attack the city!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The sound of war drums resounded through the sky, and the infantry divided into square formations swarmed towards the north wall of Wuguan like a tide.
Along with the advancing infantry, catapults and archers also sprayed their fangs, showing no mercy at all.
Stones excavated from the mountains outside Wuguan were smashed into the city head one by one. The newly repaired city walls and turrets once again suffered heavy blows.
"Bang bang bang!"
Dust was flying on the top of the city, and arrows were shooting out from the turrets. Compared with the Yan soldiers who attacked from behind, the Liang army's crossbows shot farther. The Yan army faced them before they even reached the bottom of the city wall.
Got hit by several waves of arrows.
"Ahhhh~"
"Shield, shield, pay attention to protection!"
"Go forward, quicken your pace!"
It's just that this mere rain of arrows can't dampen the Yan soldiers' enthusiasm for attacking the city. There are shouts and shouts one after another, and everyone's face is filled with excitement.
These infantry attacking the city are the newly arrived reinforcements. They have not yet experienced the strong military pass. They are dreaming of breaking through the city and performing meritorious service, and gaining promotion to the rank.
Of course, some of the 20,000 soldiers captured from Mu Yunhuan were also sent out. The reason was that the people sent out were all old, weak, sick and disabled. Mu Yunduankang thought that they were of no use. They would die.
Just die. It's also a good thing to bring some casualties to Liang's army.
As for how much price we have to pay to win Wuguan, everyone has no idea.
The Liang army on the top of the city fought back vigorously. The defensive equipment such as wood, rolling stones, kerosene, and forks had been prepared long ago. They were waiting for the Yan army to arrive and then treated them to a feast.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Pong Pong Pong!"
"Ahh~"
Lives were passing quickly at the foot of the city. While they were using their lives to pile up, they also had to use their lives to defend. However, the Yan army outside the city was even more miserable. Facing the newly repaired Wuguan city wall, their offensive was destined to be short-term.
It doesn't have any effect inside.
Many of the Liang troops guarding the city were newly transferred guards from various city patrol battalions. Although the movements of guarding the city were a bit unfamiliar and the expressions on their faces were slightly panicked, under the leadership of the veterans of the Liang troops around them,
They are growing rapidly.
Not only Wu Xinrou can use this trick of fighting for training, but Liang Jun also has it at his fingertips.
The sun slowly set over the mountain, and the Yan army began to retreat gradually. The noisy battlefield began to become silent. The day's attack passed without incident. Except for a few soldiers who were lucky enough to climb to the top of the city to fight hand-to-hand, most of them
Most of them died on the way to attack the city, and those who climbed to the top of the city were not much better off. They only died anyway.
…
"General Tuotuo, how was the siege today?"
In the Yan Army camp, Mu Yun Duankang leaned on a chair holding an exquisite wine glass and asked lazily.
"Return to your highness!"
Tuotuo Buhua clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "The Liang army's city wall has almost been repaired. Today's offensive has been blocked and there is no progress for the time being. Please give the general some more time, so that he can lead his army to break through Wuguan."
This answer was within Mu Yun Duankang's expectation. It would be amazing if it would be fruitful. Liang Jun had been practicing for two months.
"Okay, let's go down. Autumn is suitable for large-scale military expeditions. From today on, the pressure on the Liang army cannot be relaxed. If there are any cowards in front of the battle, the general can execute them on the spot without reporting!" Mu Yunduankang said lightly while staring at the wine glass.
"No!" Tuo Tuo Bu Hua Ying shouted and quietly left.
Baili Shen, who had been sitting silently, finally stood up, walked to the map and said, "What a pity, it gave Liang Jun two months of breathing space."
"There is nothing we can do about it. Who allowed us to suffer a few big defeats, otherwise the current Liang army will be at the end of its war effort." Mu Yunduankang was very optimistic. Now that reinforcements have arrived, his confidence is back.
Baili Shen said with some inexplicable meaning: "Your Highness is so calm, are you not afraid that the Third Highness will make progress first?"
After hearing the words "His Royal Highness, Third Highness", Mu Yun Duankang's face finally flashed with a hint of gloom, but soon he said with a sneer:
"My third brother doesn't have this ability. If he could really attack Tianlang Pass, he wouldn't be in this situation today!"
"Hahaha~" The two men's slightly mocking laughter sounded in the tent at the same time.
…
In the study, Chen Yue was staring at the map with his brows furrowed, sometimes looking at Wuguan, sometimes at Tianlang Pass. He didn't really care about the siege of the city. He was thinking about how to end the war as soon as possible.
After a while, Chu Yucheng and Zhuge Mutu both came to Chen Yue's study, and Zhuge Mutu handed a neatly written letter into Chen Yue's hand.
"This is?"
Chenyue was stunned. Could it be that the emergency military report was sent from somewhere? But looking at the two people smiling, it shouldn't be bad news.
Chu Yucheng smiled strangely: "Your Highness, take a look and then talk."
Chen Yue looked at the contents of the letter with some confusion. It didn't matter if he didn't read it. Once he read it, he was stunned.
After looking at it for a long time, Chen Yue finally said in shock: "Who wrote this letter? It's so viciously written."
"The poor monk is so incompetent that he made the prince laugh, hehe!" Zhuge said with a confused wink.
"High! Yes, yes, high!"
Chenyue laughed and gave a thumbs up: "If Mu Yunchang saw this letter, he would probably laugh like crazy, and he might immediately go to Mu Yunhuan with a knife."
Chu Yucheng poked Zhuge confused and said: "The elder really kills people without blood. I, Chu, admire him!"
"What the hell, just a little plan." Zhuge waved his hand in a confused manner, but his face was full of pride.
Chen Yue stuffed the letter back into the envelope, but before stuffing it in, he specially stamped it with his seal of Prince Liang.
"Okay, now that we have the letter, how to send it out is also a problem." Chen Yue said softly: "If it is too fake, it will be easy for Mu Yunduankang to see through it."
"You have to choose a smart and reliable brother to do this." Chu Yucheng agreed.
