I really don't want to lose the country

Chapter 709 How to Attack Xiangyang

Wei Qing nodded approvingly and said:

"Qubing is right, this Prince Merck is not simple.

It's still His Majesty's words, people who are not of our race must have different hearts.

Now we are on good terms with Rouran, but we can’t always be good. We can let them know the superficial things and use them as a deterrent. We can’t disclose any of our core things. Let the officials, generals or people along the way know. , Tighten your tone, no one can talk nonsense. "

"It's the governor!" All the generals stood up one after another.

The next day!

Prince Merck took the mission all the way south.

Go to Liangzhou first.

After coming in, it turns out that the situation here is slightly better than that in Hexi, especially in the hinterland of Liangzhou.

It is even more amazed by the dense population here.

Then enter Guanzhong and go east along the Weishui River.

I was amazed by the vast fertile land here and the prosperous urban and rural areas.

Cross the Wei River and come to the west gate of Chang'an City.

Although the crowd had already expected it.

But he was still stunned by Chang'an's magnanimity.

"This is Chang'an, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty! It's really big, with walls that can't be seen at a glance, tall and strong."

When they got here, Merck and others felt awe and admiration from the bottom of their hearts.

Their small houses like Rouran, the military tents of the royal court, are nothing in front of the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"What kind of country is the Great Zhou? It is so rich and prosperous. To build such a big capital, what kind of people's power, financial resources, and background are needed!"

"King, let's enter the city earlier, the city gate will not be allowed to enter at night, we have to wait until tomorrow!" The people from the Hexi Dudu's Mansion who led them into the customs awakened the Rouran mission.

I can't help but feel a little contemptuous.

A barbarian is a barbarian.

How do you know the power of the Heavenly Kingdom?

How do you know the real charm of Chang'an.

Big is just the most basic indicator.

"Thank you, let's go to the city!" Prince Merck complimented General Zhou who led the regiment more and more.

The guards at the city gate were strict, and they were inspected before they were released.

At this time, the officials of the Great Zhou Rites Department who received the news had already been waiting in the city

After greeting each other, the officials of the Ministry of Rites took the Rouran delegation to the post house to stay.

Although it was dusk, there were still many pedestrians on the street.

Prosperity can be seen.

The buildings in the city are even more beautiful.

It simply dazzled Merck and others.

"Prince, don't worry about it. These are just ordinary street scenes. I have eight scenic spots in Chang'an, three cities in the east, west, and south. You can go to the eight scenic spots to appreciate beautiful things. If you want to join in the fun, you can go to the three cities. I guarantee you will be satisfied and you will not be willing to leave." The Ministry of Rites The official said with a smile: "Of course, the premise is that you have to bring enough money."

"Hahaha, Mr. Guo is just funny, so let's bring more gold and silver when we go out to open our eyes!" Merck and others laughed heartily.

Although he is heroic, he has no confidence in his heart.

I don't know if I brought enough money.

In such a majestic city, everything in the city is exquisite, and shopping should be very expensive.

…………

Nanyang!

Di Qing followed the old routine and did not send troops to attack the city immediately.

Instead, the trebuchet threw stones and smashed them hard for three days.

The gate tower of the north gate was smashed down.

The solid north city gate was smashed to pieces.

Several sections of the wall collapsed several times, and the Chuyue Kingdom rushed to repair it several times.

For this reason, the nerves of the 20 troops in the city have been tense.

I was afraid that Di Qing would suddenly attack the city.

Especially yesterday, there were at least tens of thousands of soldiers on standby, not daring to rest.

"Report! Commander! All support from Chuyue Kingdom has arrived in Xiangyang City!"

Di Qing stood up and asked, "How many people are here?"

"Back to Commander, 5000 people from Chuyue Kingdom have entered the city, and there are also many masters. The specific number needs to be clarified by Jin Yiwei!"

Di Qing glanced at Ding Chunqiu who was accompanying him.

Ding Chunqiu went down to look for Jin Yiwei's men.

Soon Ding Chunqiu came back.

At this time, Di Qing was the only one in the hall.

"How is it?" Di Qing asked.

Ding Chunqiu said: "There are a few sixth-rank masters, quite a few fifth-rank and fourth-rank masters, and it is impossible to accomplish such things as night attack and beheading.

As for the attack on the city, there may be some obstacles. We should support His Majesty at key points and bring half of the people from Dayan Wusi. "

"Chuyue Kingdom is going all out this time!" Di Qing said:

"In this way, we can only go step by step, and use the elite army to wipe out the Chuyue Kingdom's army head-on.

Force them to withdraw from Xiangyang by themselves. "

"Let's contact Dayan Wusi, and adjust as much as you can. At the same time, please come down to sit in charge of this siege."

"it is good!"

Ye Qing still has several masters.

If they all come, they will be able to cope with Chuyue Kingdom's increase in troops this time.

Di Qing's request was quickly sent to Xinye.

From Xinye to Xiangyang, you can get there in one day.

In the middle of the night of the next day, Ye Qing arrived outside Xiangyang city.

"His Majesty!"

"Say it in the army tent!"

After entering the army tent, Ye Qing asked, "How is the battle going today?"

Di Qing replied: "Return to Your Majesty, today we launched a mop-in attack, suppressed with trebuchets, advanced with bed crossbows, and once attacked the city.

Many soldiers of Chuyue Kingdom were killed!
The resistance from the Chuyue Kingdom was very fierce, and there were too many Liannu equipment.

If our army sends soldiers to attack by force, there will still be a lot of casualties! "

"Then what good plan do you have to break the city?" Ye Qing asked again.

Di Qing said: "Your Majesty, we have to increase the number of trebuchets, dig more rocks, and mainly bombard the front with stone bombs.

At the same time, the number of bed crossbows is also increased to break the defense from the front.

Then use the well fence, build arrow towers, take advantage of the high position, use bows and crossbows to kill a large number of enemy troops, and suppress the Liannu army against Chuyue Kingdom.

Provide vision for our army and control the dispatch of the Chuyue National Army in the city. "

"Yes, as long as it is conducive to the siege of the city and the reduction of casualties for our army, all of these are fine." Ye Qing tapped his finger on the table twice, making a sound of beating.

Then he said: "I will dispatch the mechanism bird to you!"

The organ bird, that can hover in the sky.

Not only can you see the situation in Beicheng clearly.

Even the situation in Xiangyang City can be seen clearly!

It's so divine, it's not too beautiful.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Di Qing replied excitedly.

With the mechanism bird, he will be more confident in taking Xiangyang.

"Breaking the city gate is not the most difficult thing now. The most difficult thing is how to capture the huge city of Xiangyang. The inside of the city is much more complicated than the outside. The Chuyue army now has 25 troops. If he fights with you in the street, how will you advance! "Ye Qing asked again.

Chuyue Kingdom is equipped with a large number of Liannu, and these things give full play to their advantages in the city.

It can be imagined that once entering the city, the resistance will be stronger than the city gate.

Di Qing had already prepared the draft, and replied directly: "My lord, it's easy to handle, let's continue to smash stones with trebuchets, destroy houses with continuous crossbows, and advance slowly step by step.

If the Chuyue people hide in private houses, their non-combat attrition will increase greatly! "

"However, if you are like this... what should the people of Xiangyang City do? It will cause casualties to these ordinary people, and it will hurt the hearts of our Great Zhou army. It is difficult for us to win the hearts of the people!" Ye Qing suddenly asked a sharp and difficult question.

This question is very challenging.
