As Zhao Jin expected, early the next morning, Zhao Xingyu personally led his army and prepared to attack the city.
Zhao Jin stood on the tower and his eyes fell on Zhao Xingyu.
"Your Highness!"
Zhao Xingyu glanced at Zhao Jin, the malice in his eyes was undisguised, he wished he could eat Zhao Jin's flesh and blood!
"What's the matter?" He didn't look away, he just asked lightly.
"The front, there is no way to pass!"
Zhao Xingyu suddenly turned his head and looked at a young general who came to report. The other man had a frown on his face and it was obvious that he was not joking.
"What do you mean you can't make it through?" Zhao Xingyu gritted his teeth and asked.
"There is an extremely wide and deep ditch in front of us, and our army cannot pass it at all!"
The young general had a grimace on his face. He originally wanted to take advantage of today to capture Liyang in one fell swoop and give Duke Xuanping a show of strength.
Who doesn't know that His Highness has a sworn feud with Duke Xuanping? As the vanguard this time, he also thought that after successfully capturing Liyang, His Highness would definitely be richly rewarded.
This is great. Before the victory is achieved, we will not be able to make any further progress.
Zhao Xingyu frowned and recalled the trenches that Zhao Jin had used when he resisted Beili and King Liang in Yunzhou County.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xingyu clamped his horse's belly and wanted to get closer to confirm whether it was a trench.
Zhao Jin, who was on the tower, narrowed his eyes slightly and watched Zhao Xingyu followed by nearly a hundred soldiers, gradually approaching the tower.
He chuckled lightly and raised his chin towards a general following him, "General Shen Zhonglang."
"My lord."
"Prepare explosives."
Shen Qing's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what Zhao Jin meant, and responded loudly: "Yes!"
Zhao Xingyu was still approaching step by step, and he could vaguely see that there was a fault in front of him, which was where the trench was.
Suddenly! Zhao Xingyu stopped suddenly, and a strong sense of crisis came over him.
He looked up at the tower in Liyang. Zhao Jin was looking at him, and next to Zhao Jin, was a trebuchet?
Zhao Xingyu's pupils shrank slightly, "Back off!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly stepped back.
Zhao Jin raised his eyebrows, feeling a little regretful, "What a pity."
As long as Zhao Xingyu takes two more steps forward, he can enter the range of the trebuchet.
Although he was not able to get closer and take a closer look, Zhao Xingyu made a preliminary judgment that it should be a trench.
The location of the trench was within the shooting range of Liyang. Originally, Zhao Xingyu was able to defeat Ma Yan and others again and again, and even almost invaded the city, relying on the speed of the cavalry and chariots.
The cavalry and chariots were able to rush to the city gate of Liyang after carrying a round of explosives. Ma Yan and others did not dare to throw any more explosives, but Zhao Xingyu was able to use this to breach the city gate in one fell swoop.
But now that there are trenches, they must solve the trenches if they want to get close to the city gate.
The best way is to build a short bridge with wooden planks or fill it back with soil, but no matter which one, you need to stay next to the trench for a long time.
This undoubtedly gave Zhao Jin the opportunity to bomb them directly.
Zhao Xingyu didn't expect that his show of force was not successful, but that he was stumped first.
"Your Highness, what should we do now?"
Zhao Xingyu held on to the reins tightly and glared at Zhao Jin on the tower unwillingly, "Go back first!"
The rebels approached Liyang but returned without success.
Shen Qing fought against the rebels for so many times, but this was the first time he saw the rebels defeated, and he felt very happy, "Who would have thought that just a trench could stump the opponent."
Zhao Jin withdrew his gaze, half relieved. The other three directions of Liyang were not easy to attack.
Zhao Xingyu had the most cavalry, and the left and right sides of Liyang were either dense forests or piles of rocks, and there were sentry towers in the dense forests. If the rebels wanted to get in through here, they would definitely have to pay a heavy price.
After all, cavalry does not have an advantage in dense forests, and neither does the pile of rocks on the other side.
The cavalry was forced to slow down, and Liyang, which was condescending, could defend it well with explosives, forcing Zhao Xingyu to pay a huge price to capture Liyang.
As for the back of Liyang, Zhao Jin had told them to keep an eye on it last night.
If Zhao Xingyu dares to sneak attack from behind, Zhao Jun will give him a taste of being attacked from both front and rear.
Hearing Shen Qing's words, Zhao Jin smiled and shook his head, "It's not that the trench has a big effect, but it just targets Zhao Xingyu's weakness and plays to our advantage."
"This trench is not unsolvable. As long as Zhao Xingyu sends people to measure the distance from the trench to the military camp, they can use a trebuchet to throw soil into the trench."
Zhao Jin turned his head and looked at the wide trench, "In this case, there is nothing we can do."
Except for a fierce attack during the short period of time when the opponent is approaching when measuring the trench, there is absolutely nothing you can do at the rest of the time.
However, it depends on whether Zhao Xingyu can think of this method.
If he didn't expect it, he would have to pay a heavy price.
Shen Qing closed her mouth, swallowed, and looked at Zhao Jin with awe.
"Let's go." Zhao Jin looked away and walked down the tower.
Others have appeared, and Zhao Xingyu is now stumped. It's time to head to Qingyun Town.
Below, 50,000 troops are ready, just waiting for Zhao Jin.
Zhao Jin got on his horse, looked at the 50,000 elites, raised his eyebrows and said solemnly: "Let's go!"
Those who followed Zhao Jin to Qingyun Town were all Qi Jiajun.
Zhao Jin and them have already experienced the battlefield of Mucheng, and there is no need to get used to it again.
This operation was extremely dangerous. Zhao Jin did not have time to run in with the other soldiers. Any problems in the running-in process would be fatal to the entire plan.
Qi Jiajun was in charge of Qingyun Town with Zhao Jin, which was the best choice.
Fifty thousand troops are heading to Qingyun Town together. If there is too much movement, they may be discovered halfway.
Zhao Jin directly divided the 50,000 people into five teams, divided the troops into five groups, and finally met at Qingyun Town.
Two days later, 10,000 people led by Zhao Jin first arrived outside Qingyun Town and hid in the dense forest on the left.
"When everyone is gathered, two hundred people will join me and climb over the wall first."
Zhao Jin was surrounded by several generals, and the faint firelight illuminated the ground with lines and writing in front of him.
"My lord, two hundred people may not be able to control the city gate."
Qingyun Town is considered a big town, and now it is wartime. There are many guards at the city gate, and two hundred people is too much.
"There is no need to control the city gate." Zhao Jin held a long knife in his hand. The tip of the knife slid on the ground and pointed at the position inside the city gate of Qingyun Town.
Zhao Jin explained: "The city gates all open inwards. We just need to break in and open the city gates."
"As soon as the city gate opened, the remaining soldiers from outside poured in together. As long as we enter the city, Qingyun Town is within our grasp."
However, guarding the city gate and letting outside colleagues in is undoubtedly an extremely difficult and dangerous task.
Zhao Jin bluntly said: "The two hundred people as the vanguard are equivalent to going to die."
