Ah Liang sat in front of his father, feeling the killing energy coming towards him, and felt a slight pain all over his body.
The first time he faced this murderous spirit, he thought it was the thick needle used by the embroiderer at home to make shoes, but this time it became the thin needle used to make clothes.
Very interesting!
Ah Liang pondered this aura carefully.
King Qin raised his hand in response, causing even greater cheers.
"Your Highness, Chitose!"
The Chinese army quickly changed the banner, and the King of Qin took his place.
"I have met His Highness!"
Pei Jian and others saluted.
"how?"
King Qin asked with a smile.
When it's time to put pressure on his subordinates, he will naturally do so. But in most cases, he prefers to encourage.
"The guard, Chen Mai, is quite experienced. The defender looks good." Pei Jian pointed to the city. "I was intimidated. I wanted to attack the city today, but when I learned that His Highness was about to arrive, I asked him to pretend to be slack. It means..."
"Waiting for Gu to suppress the morale of the defenders?"
The King of Qin said: "Pei Jian's plan is upright, but Old Han's plan is a bit conspiracy."
Han Ji coughed dryly and said, "I am a civil servant!"
"Yes! Civil servant!"
King Qin squinted his eyes, wondering what thoughts were running in his mind.
"Have you ever tried to persuade him to surrender?"
"I tried to persuade you, but it's useless."
"What's the attitude of the defenders?"
"mild."
King Qin nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Then, let's attack the city!"
"Take orders!"
Pei Jian turned around and said, "Suoyun!"
"exist!"
"Siege the city!"
"Take orders!"
The King of Qin gave the order, Pei Jian gave the order, Suo Yun gave the order again... This is a chain of power.
Everyone has their own place in it and everyone has something to gain.
Is this the way of a king and his ministers?
King Qin was thoughtful. He felt that his son in his arms was a little nervous, so he lowered his head and said, "If A Liang doesn't want to see it, you can go to the back and look around."
Wang Laoer said: "I will accompany Da Langjun to play!"
Is this a place to play?
King Qin glared at Wang Laoer.
"No, I want to see it." Ah Liang was very determined.
"That's fine." King Qin nodded slightly to Ning Yayun and signaled the old handsome man to pay more attention to A Liang's changes.
Ning Yayun smiled and said: "I have no taboos here."
Woohoo!
Amidst the loud sound of horns, the death battalion was dispatched.
"The death camp needs to be replenished." He Lianrong said: "But most of the prisoners in Bei Liao are building roads... According to His Highness's instructions, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, so it is difficult to replenish the soldiers of the death camp."
King Qin also had a nickname, called the Road-Building Madman.
Since he was an official in Taiping, he began to frantically build roads, official roads, county roads, rural roads... and even opened new official roads.
Everywhere he went to Chenzhou and Taoxian, he would always build roads first.
But unknowingly, commerce, trade and other economic activities in northern Xinjiang flourished with the smooth roads.
Unbeknownst to others, every time the three giants mentioned this matter, they always admired King Qin for his foresight.
"I heard that someone is plotting rebellion?" King Qin said calmly.
This... rolling
He Lianrong lowered his head and said, "Yes."
There are people in Beiliao's hometown who are preparing to plot rebellion, but they are still in the planning stage. According to Jin Yiwei, this matter will have to wait.
But King Qin had something... he couldn't wait.
"Yan'er!"
"exist!"
The soldiers of the death camp had already rushed to the city. Amidst the shouts of killing, King Qin said calmly: "How to grasp the timing of rebellion, Jin Yiwei must carefully understand."
Uh! Roll
Your Highness is... asking Jin Yiwei to provoke a rebellion in his hometown of Bei Liao?
Then, take prisoners.
"Old Han."
"exist!"
King Qin said: "Many of the prisoners who built the road were tempered to be quite loyal. After capturing the prisoners who rebelled, a group of prisoners who built the road were sent to death camps."
Look, isn’t the matter resolved satisfactorily?
"Yes!"
King Qin smiled and touched his son's head, "Does Liang feel despicable?"
Ah Liang hesitated for a moment.
"Aye acts without despicableness!"
This is his father, and A Liang will automatically cast a light of justice on his words and deeds.
"A Liang, remember, what is the duty of an emperor? It is to protect. To protect this land and the people. To be kind, internally and externally, it is natural selection."
"yes."
At this time, the death camp entered the city, and the fighting at the top of the city was inextricable.
"Chen Mai? It's interesting!"
King Qin asked: "Is there any unusual movement in the direction of Bianjing?"
Pei Jian said: "A few groups of cavalry approached, but after contact with our rangers, they quickly withdrew. The rangers reported back that they were the Forbidden Army cavalry."
"Forbidden Army... Nian Xu must be terrified at the moment!" King Qin said.
"Your Highness, beware of reinforcements from Jinzhou and other places!" someone suggested.
"How could Jinzhou and other places dare to rescue Yezhou after knowing that Gu Lai was here?" King Qin looked sternly.
"His Highness has been on the battlefield for many years, and is very good at encirclement and encirclement. I'm willing to bet that upon learning of His Highness's personal visit, the generals in Jinzhou and other places will definitely close the city gates, widen their eyes, and worry that His Highness will suddenly appear under the city with his troops."
Han Ji smiled.
…
"Be careful!"
At the top of Jinzhou City, Zhizhou Changxing, who was in his thirties, looked into the distance with a solemn expression.
"Yes." Huang Zhangshen, the defender, agreed, "The King of Qin is good at running attacks, and he likes to encircle points for reinforcements. It is best for our army to stay on guard and not get out."
"Changzhizhou! Save me, Yezhou!"
The envoy from Yezhou begged on the side.
Chang Xing gave him a cold look.
Plop!
The messenger knelt down and said, "Chang Zhizhou, please!"
"Didn't you hear what I just said?" Chang Xing said angrily: "The King of Qin used his troops superbly to rescue and rescue, but he was afraid that he would be ambushed by the King of Qin halfway. I was even more worried that before he sent troops, the King of Qin led his army to appear at the gate of Jinzhou City... …”
Huang Zhang explained: "Facing the King of Qin, we have only two options. One is to defend, and the other is to wait for reinforcements. If the reinforcements are not available, no one will dare to lead the army to face the King of Qin."
These words clearly told the envoy: We are no match for King Qin.
As for Yezhou, let it fend for itself!
…
boom!
The trebuchet smashed a nest at the top of the city, and the two defenders left without saying a word.
Stone bullets hit the city wall and the top of the city. The defenders squatted behind the battlements and shivered.
"God!" Deng Cheng hid in the tower. As a result, the tower became the target of fire from trebuchets, and several stone bullets hit the tower, which was on the verge of collapse.
"Run!"
Deng Cheng hugged his head and ran away like a mouse.
After running out, he squatted behind the battlements subconsciously, in a daze...
Why did I vaguely see Chen Mai looking a little regretful?
Chen Mai sighed softly.
"Why didn't you smash him to death?"
This wave of trebuchet offensive frightened the defenders. When the sound of footsteps was heard, the brutal offensive and defensive battle began again.
As soon as King Qin arrived, he changed the rhythm of the siege.
"No hurry!"
So the trebuchets came first, then attacked the city, and the next time there was a wave of crossbows...
The siege was going on slowly, like two older men fighting, one punch, one kick, slowly.
This seemingly slow-paced approach actually caused a huge increase in the casualties of the defenders.
After the first day, when he learned that the casualties were close to 20%, Deng Cheng's face turned green.
"what to do?"
In the prefecture, Deng Cheng's face turned pale.
"Today's first battle, our army has been sparse for a long time, so we deserve this casualty!"
Chen Mai said hard-heartedly: "The key is the follow-up. When the King of Qin arrives, don't think about reinforcements. So, what will be the follow-up?"
"Let all the young men in the city come out to help with the defense!" Deng Cheng said.
Chen Mai shook his head, "Zhizhou hasn't seen it yet? Huo City was destroyed, and the Northern Xinjiang Army did not commit any crimes. This is in line with the words of Qin King, Tang Dynasty and Zhou Dynasty. It is the responsibility of the warriors to fight between the two armies, but once the people are in trouble, , Zhizhou, that is to fight to the death. Once the Northern Xinjiang army becomes red-eyed..."
"So what?" Deng Cheng sneered, "Do you want to surrender to the enemy?"
Chen Mai's face turned green and he said, "I have absolutely no intention of doing this."
"Then why are you shirking?" Deng Cheng asked solemnly.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"The official is worried that once the Northern Xinjiang Army becomes aggressive, the whole family will be left behind. Jingguan will reappear."
Deng Cheng shivered.
"If the Northern Xinjiang army becomes red-blooded, the army and people of the Great Zhou Dynasty will definitely resist to the death if this continues."
Everyone knows what resisting to the death will bring.
"If there is an invasion by a foreign race, all soldiers and civilians in a city should die in battle, but..."
"Shut up!" Deng Cheng scolded: "I think you were moved by what King Qin said."
"I will never dare..."
Chen Mai stood up and stood with his hands tied.
"What do you think are from the same culture and race?" Deng Cheng sneered, "Go and mobilize the people!"
Chen Mai lowered his head, "Zhizhou, think twice!"
At some point, Deng Cheng had a leather whip in his hand and whipped it away.
Snap!
Chen Mai was whipped on the shoulder, but he didn't dare to move.
Deng Cheng's authority was superior to his. During the war, if Deng Cheng felt that he was inappropriate and ordered someone to kill him, he would only need a piece of paper to explain.
According to Deng Cheng's judgment, Chen Mai was suspected of surrendering to the enemy, which would bring bad luck to the entire Chen family.
This is the rule of using civility to control military affairs.
"Zhizhou, once the people are mobilized, the King of Qin will be furious!"
Deng Cheng clenched his fists tightly and then released them.
The deputy general finally couldn't bear it anymore and said: "After King Qin destroyed Shi Zhong and Tang Dynasty, he built a capital temple in Qinghe. It is said that it is as big as a mountain. It is a real mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!"
Zhizhou, are you really ready?
A civil servant coughed dryly and said, "The reinforcements are not coming."
Deng Cheng miraculously regained his composure, "Get out!"
"yes!"
Chen Mai and others went out, and the deputy general whispered: "Previously, Zhizhou was in panic and wanted to save his life, and he was a little dizzy."
"I know." Deng Cheng said, "But the reinforcements will not come, and Hancheng will eventually fall. He is afraid when he thinks that he will become a corpse in the capital."
The lieutenant smiled bitterly, "I now hope that this battle can end as soon as possible."
It’s so frustrating!
Chen Mai said: "I hope he dies!"
…
On the second day, trebuchets, crossbow arrays, and death battalions took turns attacking the city.
"The defenders suffered many casualties."
Pei Jian reported: "But it looks like the morale is pretty good."
"Hancheng is surrounded, and the defenders are like trapped beasts still fighting." King Qin said: "This battle is not about Hancheng, but about Bianjing."
Everyone listens.
Ah Liang looked at these civil and military officials curiously, especially when he saw the old thief taking out a pen and paper and looking at his father with bright eyes, as if looking at a treasure, he became even more curious.
"Huocheng is small and has little impact after its fall. However, Yezhou is the first battle of our army going south. How long it will take to defeat Yezhou will have an immeasurable impact on our army and the morale of the people in Bianjing."
"Then why is Your Highness still attacking slowly?" Jiang He'er was also recording.
Gu’s little classroom is open again!
King Qin pointed to the city head and said: "The most taboo thing about attacking a city is the same appearance. It's like running. If you keep running at a slow and fast pace, you can run very far. But the speed keeps changing on the road, and if the rhythm is messed up, you can't run very far. .”
Everyone was puzzled, but Pei Jian's eyes were bright.
"Gu ordered the slow attack to let the defenders get used to and rely on this defensive method. If everything remains unchanged, it is possible to hold on for five to ten days. But Gu, what is waiting for is their habit and dependence!"
On the second day, the defenders were safe and sound.
