Great Leaving the Night's Watch

Chapter 208 Sending troops to Yanyun
It is impossible for Daliang and Dali to cease fighting.

After the members of the royal family of Liang State were captured, the emperor even sent envoys to leave the capital with a lot of money, demanding that Shi Bin no matter how much money he wanted, as long as he could release them.

As soon as the envoy was sent out, he became nervous and frightened.

It’s okay to ask for money, but what if Shi Bin wants land?
To give or not to give?
It turns out that he thought too much.

After Shi Bin captured the royal family and nobles of the Liang Kingdom, he beheaded them all.And all property was confiscated and used as military expenses.

Hanging his head and leaving the capital, he encouraged the soldiers on his side: "No matter how powerful the enemy is, it's nothing special. They are all paper tigers. We are not afraid of them."

After serving as public display materials, he was buried with a cheap loan.

When the envoy heard the news on the way, he fled back the same way.

Daliang wanted to talk to him, but Shi Bin was not interested in talking nonsense with him at all.

They didn't even have a procedure for declaring war, so they started fighting directly.

Xiao Fei is the coach of Dali Army.

He led an army of 12 and attacked the shore by boat.

The land of Yanyun is separated from Dali Dynasty by a big river.

This big river is a natural barrier for Yanyun.

Yanyun's river bank is too wide, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

If the strength of the two sides is similar, the Dali army will have little chance of breaking through the North Shore.

However, Dali Dynasty has the world's first gunpowder technology.

Xiao Fei couldn't get ashore, so he fired a cannon from a long distance.

Sometimes they went too far, and even released their own boats.

Put out the fire, get on the lifeboat, and fire the cannons.

The enemy army sent a reconnaissance ship to investigate the enemy's situation. Lieutenant General Liu Shengyi bombarded it, killing him and the ship.

There are too many enemies on the other side.

Yanyun has been lost for a hundred years, and the treasured land for raising horses is cherished by his own people, and of course the enemy also cherishes it.

They built a dock here, and set up a large number of hidden piles in the tower, and thick iron locks under the water, to prevent Dali ships from advancing.

Xiao Fei couldn't move forward, so he fired cannons and shot arrows.

Although they could hit people every time, they couldn't land until the gunpowder ran out.

Then shoot arrows.

But the enemy's resistance was too tenacious.

They refused to give up this nomadic treasure to the death.

Their dock was very strong, they rushed to repair it after being hit by a cannon, and by various means, they actually stopped Xiao Fei for several months.

But that's not something to be thankful for.

If Luoyang is not in the hands of Daliang, but in the hands of Daliang, or in the hands of any enemy country, it will be a good thing for Daliang.

But now Luoyang is indeed in Dali's hands.

Luoyang is a beautiful place with mountains and water.

The inability to send troops from Puyang Wharf to take down Yanyun's first port has no effect on Dali.

Now Liang Guojun and ministers are even seriously suspicious: "Shi Bin may not have planned to attack Yanyun at all!"

The purpose of Xiao Fei's men was to attract the enemy's firepower and tie a large number of troops to the shore.

And Di Lie and Wu Song led 15 troops to land from Luoshui to the southern tip of Bingzhou.

The terrain of that place does not allow a large number of troops to be stationed. If a few hundred guns go down, the defenders will be wiped out.

The Dali army took the mountain road, captured Shangdang, blocked the mountain road to the north, and prevented Liang Jun from entering!

Then set up the cannon and storm Huguan!
No matter how strong the Huguan is, it cannot withstand a hundred shots.

Even less than a hundred cannons, Huguan fell.

Dali's army came out of Huguan and rushed to the pier from behind. It is inconvenient to use cannons, use firecrackers!
Fifty thousand firecrackers, this is all of Da Lichao's possessions.

Shi Bin handed so many firecrackers to Di Lie all at once!
Yanyun is the most important place, and it is impossible to win from right to wrong!

The enemy soldiers on the shore were shot by Xiao Fei every day, and they were so dazed even when they were sleeping that they couldn't sleep without a shield around them.

Well now, shoot in the front and get shot in the back.

Xiao Fei shoots arrows and clears obstacles at the same time.

Send people to remove iron locks today, and send people to remove hidden piles tomorrow.

After such a long time, it has been demolished in sevens and eighties.

Under the attack of hundreds of thousands of troops, the garrison at Liangguo Wharf finally couldn't stand it anymore and retreated across the board.

They cried as they fled.

The guard committed suicide.

Because once the pier is lost, Yanyun will be in danger.

The opponent has hundreds of thousands of troops coming, and they will not return to the army if they do not occupy the land of Yanyun.

For such a big crime, rather than waiting to be killed by the emperor, it is better to finish it quickly.

Xiao Fei, Di Lie, and Wu Song led the army to chase and kill the defeated army. When the defeated army passed by Linzhang City, they did not dare to enter, and the defenders did not dare to open the city.

I am afraid that the Dali army will take advantage of the situation and break the city.

However, if the defeated army does not enter the city, just fleeing will not change the fate of losing the city.

Wu Song discussed with Xiao Fei, "Which of the four sects is the main attack?"

Di Lie said: "There are nearly 30 troops, it doesn't matter which gate he is, just surround him and fight!"

Wu Song said: "What Di Gong said is true!"

Xiao Fei: "Then fight like this!"

The cannon blared all day.

There were constant wailing and howling in the city, but the defenders dared not surrender.

Because Liang Guo's method of sitting together is too terrible, the nine clans sit together.

If you die in battle, your loved ones will not be hurt.

If it doesn't work, suicide is fine, and it can be regarded as death rather than surrender, a heroic martyrdom.

The guard stayed up until night without water or rice, and was dizzy from hunger. Later, he couldn't stand it any longer, and said to his subordinates, "My lords, I would have allowed you to surrender! Put down your weapons, and run for your life."

The soldiers cried, "General, what about you?"

The general said with a wry smile: "In order not to punish the nine clans, the general must die in his post."

The soldiers cried and bowed to the ground and filed out.

The general drew his sword and committed suicide.

The soldiers opened the doors and surrendered.

Throw down your weapons and bow down.

The Dali army occupied Linzhang.

After only resting for half a day, Xiao Fei stayed to deal with the aftermath, and sent out pigeons to let the Luoyang garrison officer and Puyang prefect send food to the other side of the river and increase troops.

All follow-up troops boarded the ship and disembarked.

They were stationed and defended outside the city to prevent the enemy from counterattacking.

When everything was ready, Xiao Fei ordered Liu Sheng to raise [-] troops to attack Bingzhou, and he himself led [-] troops to attack the plains.

During the ten days, both places are conquered.

Bingzhou was rich in grain and grass, all of which fell into the hands of Dali's army.

Before the plain defenders retreated, they transported away the food in time.

Fortunately, the Dali Army has a large rear supply line.

The land of Yanyun has been lost for a hundred years. His ambition is to win the battle. Shi Bin must work hard and pay a big price.

In order to provide food for the front line, all the gunpowder in the court was transported to the front line.

The 90 shi of grain hoarded in two years were all transported to the front line.

Shi Bin knew that it was necessary to ensure that the soldiers had food to eat.

It's more important than anything.

If you don't even give food to eat, but only use taking back Yanyun as a sentiment to fool people, that would be shameless.

It will only incur the resentment of the soldiers.

It's really impossible to do it with a meal of wine and meat.

But there is food for every meal, and every meal is full. This requirement must be fulfilled by the soldiers.

Amphibious warfare is too hard.

Too hard.

Soldiers are inherently fearful.

Even after several months of attacking, attacking back and forth, and successfully occupying the first town of Yanyun, the soldiers are still afraid of the enemy's counterattack.

After all, they have been operating here for a hundred years.

Even the people here no longer regard themselves as the people of Dali and Dazhou.

After the Dali army occupied this place, the common people showed indifference to them.

Don't believe them.

I was afraid that they would have no food to eat and would loot.

No one will believe your bullshit promises.

If you are really hungry and crazy, and you can do everything you want to eat, who will care about your promises? :

The soldiers themselves were also afraid that there would be insufficient follow-up food and grass.

But when 90 shi of grain and grass and tens of thousands of grain trucks were transported to Linzhang City, the soldiers were all relieved.

The common people came out to watch with the old and the young, and found that the Dali Army really had food available.

They murmured to themselves: "This group of people has very strict military discipline and never loots the people. Now that they have food again, it is even more likely that they will not loot."

Now they were relieved, so they met to work in the army.

Some are real, leading cattle.

Some are treacherous, holding a chicken.She also has a look of reluctance, which means that if you don't want it, I will take it back.

Wu Song came forward to receive them.

He bowed to everyone:
"Thank you, Gao Yi, folks! Our army in Dali has enough rations, and we dare not bother you elders. We accept your wishes. Please go home and live a good life! I will be exploited by Liang Guo again!"

All the people left happily.
