Eight hundred and thirteenth chapter Jincheng attack and defense
Tang Ao said very confidently, which put a smile on Aoxue's face, "Yes, my son is amazing. Hey, when I gave birth to you, I was in a hurry and didn't check it carefully. If I had known that you had twins,
If so, you should take it with you, your martial arts should be much better than it is now."
Hearing this, Tang Ao smiled, thinking in his mind that if he checked it at that time, it would definitely not be twin veins.
After finally talking to her mother about everything, Aoxue asked about the poisoning and injury, and Tang Ao naturally told the truth.
"What? Shen Tuwei? He actually has such courage." Aoxue stood up after hearing this, "Ao'er, leave this matter to mother. Mother will go find that Shentu Wei and deal with him."
"There's no need to worry, mother. As long as you know who did it, things will be easier to handle. Besides, the news that the child is fine should also be spread. Regardless of whether others believe it or not, Shentu will definitely believe it. I'm afraid it will be long ago."
Escaped. How can a grandmaster be so easy to find if he has to hide away from people? The child has remembered this, and sooner or later this revenge will be avenged. And my mother has worked hard over the years, and it is not easy for us mother and son to be reunited, so let us have more
Stay for a while. Speaking of which, you have five daughters-in-law, and you will have more than one grandchild in the future. You also want them to serve you. Don't run around until there is no news about those people."
Tang Ao sincerely stayed with her, and Aoxue felt guilty. In fact, there was really no news about her enemy. After thinking about it, Aoxue stayed. She didn't want to make her son unhappy anymore.
"By the way, so many people are against Ao'er this time. Do you need mother to help you kill people?"
"Oh, no need. Children will naturally deal with them on the battlefield. You can stay in the palace for this period of time. To be honest, when Ao'er goes out, he is really worried that someone will be detrimental to the palace. If mother is willing to stay,
, no one can get the idea here."
"That's true, if mother comes here again, no matter who comes, she won't get any good fruit." Aoxue said confidently. At this point, she was not talking big words, but full of confidence.
After comforting his mother and leaving his mother behind, Tang Ao, who knew what happened back then, seemed to have been relieved of a burden and could finally go to the front line lightly. He wanted to see why the Xuanjia Army dared to send troops this time.
He wants to see if the opponent's claws are sharper or the sharp weapon in his hand is sharper.
...
Pingcheng.
Leming's 100,000 vanguard army rested here for two days before marching out of the city and heading straight to the Luanhe River in the northeast.
Spring is in full swing, summer has not yet arrived, and the water level of the Luan River has not begun to rise without heavy rain. The vanguard of the Xuanjia Army can easily get on the pontoon bridge. When the main force arrives, they will cross the river and directly attack the enemy.
Liao land.
Le Ming, who has lived here for decades, is very familiar with every plant and tree here. After crossing the Luanhe River, he couldn't help but sigh, and then ordered troops to enter Jinzhou City to strive for an early victory.
Settle there and prepare for the army to invade Liaozhou and force Jizhou.
As the western gate of Liaozhou, once Jinzhou is opened, it will open up the road to Liaozhou. The battle will be much easier to fight. This is also one of the important missions of Le Ming, the pioneer general.
A hundred thousand troops, plus a total of 120,000 civilians recruited. If you look down from a high altitude, the team stretches for a long time, giving people a very majestic feeling.
In Jincheng, among the government offices in the city, First Field Army Brigade Commander Zhou Qian and Chief of Staff Li Youzheng looked at Lu Tianchi, the deputy chief of staff at the headquarters, gesticulating on the sand table in front of him. "This is the opinion of the staff, Jicheng's Reinforcements are on the way, we just need to hold on for a while before we can prepare to counterattack."
Putting down the baton in his hand, Lu Tianchi stretched out and smiled, "This battle is not difficult for us. We have bronze sky-blasting cannons on the city tower, the city has been reinforced, and there are a lot of defenders in the city. Things are not so easy to capture."
"Yes, our First Field Army is very confident in defending the city, but we just feel aggrieved. Why did Sun Fuhu surrender to the enemy? Your Majesty is not kind to him." Brigadier Zhou Qian said angrily.
"Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions. This is not something we should worry about. Next, we have to defend the city. In order to ensure that there is no problem in Jincheng, the three of us will take turns to defend the city. Each of you will have twelve hours. What do you think?" Lu Tianchi waved his hand, not wanting to mention Sun Fuhu's matter.
"Okay." Zhou Qian and Li You looked at each other and nodded, and then went to prepare. When the news that the Xuanjiawei army had crossed the Luanhe River and was about to appear at the foot of Jincheng City came out in the city After that, an unimaginable scene happened. The people in the city actually donated materials and efforts one after another, insisting on helping the Jizhou Army to defend the city.
The common people are always the cutest. They can better understand who treats them better and who is their relative.
In the past, when Jincheng was occupied by King Zhong, the taxes were increased and the corvee doubled. If God took care of it, the years with good harvests would be better, but in any disaster year, I don't know how many people would starve to death.
But since this place became the territory of King Ji, the dignitaries were forced to sell their land, and the common people were allocated fertile land. With their own land, everyone had hope. Under the policy of increasing commercial taxes and reducing agricultural taxes, As long as people are not lazy, it is not difficult to make ends meet.
If you are diligent, you can do it even if you save some extra money.
After some comparison, it is clear who is better and who is worse. The people remember the goodness of King Ji and cherish their current life even more. Now that they know that King Zhong's army is coming back again, which one is willing to obey?
Even if it is for themselves, they must help the Jizhou Army defend the city.
In this way, originally it was just a matter of recruiting 10,000 civilians in the city to help with logistics and transportation. Now the people in the whole city have actively participated, and there are more than 30,000 people who can help. This also makes the first field battle more difficult. The work of Yijun is getting easier and easier, and he even has time to take a good rest.
The situation in the city was good, even better than expected. At this time, the Xuanjia army came to the city and set up camp eight miles outside the city. In addition to the civilians, the team of more than 200,000 people were all deployed, so that From a distance, it looks quite large.
After the civilians arrived, they began to return in batches. They still needed to transport more supplies from Pingcheng. But as the vanguard general Leming, he did not have to worry about these things. All he had to do was to fight well and how to attack. Just go to Jincheng.
He called his generals, and after some discussion, decided to start the siege tomorrow, with General Lei Ming in charge.
Lei Ming is a capable person. He showed good commanding ability when he rescued Sang Doubei last time. This time Le Ming handed over the position of vanguard general to him and also gave him 20,000 yuan.
Army.
Twenty thousand people may not be enough, but as long as fighters can be created, Le Ming will lead the army to attack fiercely, and it will not be difficult to capture Jincheng. But all the generals are optimistic, especially now that there are
When it was rumored that King Ji was seriously injured and died, and there was also an example of Sun Fuhu surrendering, everyone thought that it was impossible for a mere Jincheng to block the front of their Xuanjia Army, but only Lei Ming, who had received the mission, had a look on his face.
Heavy meaning.
He had already received news from the scouts that there were more than 30,000 Jizhou troops guarding Jincheng, and this was not what gave him a headache. What really bothered him was that the walls of Jincheng were all made of cement.
.
Cement is a good thing, it is very strong. No matter how heavy it is laid on the road, it will not break if it is pressed against it. If it is used to build a city, its strength is self-evident.
A bad feeling arose in his heart, but Lei Ming, who had military orders, ordered his soldiers to roll out the catapults, put on thunder, and prepare to attack the city.
The fighting style of the Jizhou Army is no longer a secret. The sky thunder combined with the catapult is extremely powerful and has been the result of countless practices. Other vassal kings have not been able to produce bronze sky-blasting cannons, nor can they create second- or third-generation cannons.
Heavenly Thunder, but the simplest secret recipe for Heavenly Thunder has already been obtained by them, so they can still use it.
Under the city tower, the catapults of the 20,000 Xuanjia vanguard army and countless prepared ladders had been set up, as if they were about to storm the city. All this fell into the eyes of Zhou Qian from the city tower, and he did not even tremble his eyebrows.
The solidity of the cement has already passed the test. Not only the first-generation sky thunder, but also the second and third-generation sky thunder are helpless. Naturally, he is not afraid of the bombardment from the sky thunder below. What he is thinking about now is how to inflict heavy damage on the enemy.
As early as three months ago, Tang Ao ordered the reinforcement of the city tower in Jincheng. This not only used cement, but also embedded dozens of bronze cannons on the tower. This prescient move was made by Zhou Qian.
The greatest confidence lies.
And as far as he knew, these bronze artillery were still new products developed by the Jicheng Weapons Workshop. Together with the fourth-generation sky thunder that had just been developed, they were more powerful and had a longer attack range. They could already hit four targets from the previous three miles.
mile distance.
Don't underestimate that this only increases the attack distance by one mile, but the effect it can have on the battlefield is doubled. This means that the bronze artillery has greater lethality and more killing space.
time.
And all this is just a secret. The enemy doesn't know that the bronze cannon has been upgraded. They think that like before, it can only hit three miles away at most, and it will play a decisive role at the critical moment.
Since it is a killing move, of course it will not be used lightly. Zhou Qian has already discussed with Deputy Chief Lu Tianchi and Chief of Staff Li You of the General Staff. Without a suitable opportunity, they will not use the fourth generation sky thunder. Good steel will be used.
