Water Margin people

"Your Majesty, do you really want them to attack Xiliao?"

Zhu Wu asked Sun Lei.

"You think it's too early too?"

Sun Lei looked at Zhu Wu and smiled.

"Your Majesty, the Western Region is too far away. Even starting from Guanzhong, it is more than six thousand miles away. This distance is further than a round trip to Liaodong!"

"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went very smoothly on the grassland, but later he suffered a disastrous defeat in his expedition to the Western Regions. He lost because of this distance!"

Zhu Wu emphasized the distance. The logistical supplies for the Liaodong War depended on the navy's ability to provide them, or on civilian transport. The supplies for the 400,000-strong army were estimated to require 200,000 to 300,000 people to transport.

The same method cannot be used in the Western Region. The Western Region is full of deserts, neighboring countries, and high mountains. The naval fleet cannot afford it. All supplies there rely on people carrying horses.

"Supply is not a problem. It's just fighting to support war. I'm not a good person. Those who follow me will prosper and those who go against me will perish. If I don't have supplies, why don't I grab them?"

Sun Lei said with a smile.

"Don't be burdened. This is the custom in the Western Regions, and it's the same in places farther west. Even parents and brothers won't let go of anything you can grab!"

Seeing that Zhu Wu was worried, Sun Lei smiled and comforted him.

"What your Majesty said is absolutely true. The barbarians to the west don't have any etiquette and morals. They only see the strong, and the weak are used to trample on them."

Xu Guanzhong said, he agreed with Sun Lei's statement. The Western Regions are completely different from Liaodong and the grassland. Although the grassland and Liaodong are also foreign races and have been at war with the Central Plains for many years, they are somewhat influenced by the Central Plains culture, and their looks are also different. not too much.

The Western Region is a truly foreign country, with different appearance, language, culture, and beliefs. There must be no mercy in conquering here.

"Okay, I'm hungry, let's have a feast!"

Sun Lei shouted to the soldiers outside. He was very sleepy after handling military affairs in the afternoon. He had only had a sip of tea after a long sleep.

……

I, Bahai, and his men were preparing to return to the camp, but they bumped into Yue Fei.

"Yue Fei!"

"I'm a baby!"

They both spoke at the same time.

"How did you come?"

Yue Fei patted my baby on the shoulder and smiled.

"Come to give you a reply! Are you going to see His Majesty?"

I saw that Yue Fei seemed to be going to the central army, and there were also generals walking towards the central army around him.

"His Majesty invites us to a banquet."

Yue Fei said with a smile.

"Oh, I won't waste your time then."

I Bahai quickly stepped aside and said.

"Haha, let's talk again tonight!"

Yue Fei smiled and left.

I don't have any objections because Sun Lei didn't invite him to the banquet. They just made a mistake. Several young people bumped into Sun Lei again. Sun Lei didn't punish them. It was already a mercy. They can still have such delusions. What?

"What's the air? You can't even defeat Huanglong Mansion!"

Orqin Ba'er Hehei whispered, they knew the strength of Huanglong Mansion, this was no ordinary city.

In the next two days, Sun Lei handled military affairs in the Chinese army's tent without even leaving the tent.

In the past two days, Wang Jin had already led his troops over, and the rest of the army that had gone out to pursue and destroy the enemy were also coming back one after another.

"Your Majesty, Coach Lin's army will arrive in two days!"

Zhu Wu reported to Sun Lei that Lin Chong's army was in the far south and arrived a little later, but it could still clean up the scattered enemies by pulling a net.

"The ordnance will be ready in three or four days!"

Shi Qian also said that the tower car was more troublesome to build.

"Then launch the attack in four days!"

Sun Lei nodded and said, once Huanglong Mansion is destroyed, the Kingdom of Jin will be destroyed. Huanglong Mansion.

After not seeing the enemy attacking the city for several days, Jin Wushu and others were filled with worries. They were not afraid of the enemy's fierce attack. They just had to withstand the attack no matter how hard it was. But this confrontation made them feel numb.

"Sun Lei must have a conspiracy, he does this every time!"

Wanyanshou said.

"That should be a tower truck. Does the enemy want to rush directly to the city?"

Mountain Lion Camel said, as the enemy's siege equipment was being built, they also recognized the equipment.

"This thing is hard to guard against. The enemy can charge directly by putting it up on the springboard, or they can shoot at us from the tower truck!"

Lian'er Xinshan also said that the tower car is extremely heavy and heavy, but as long as it cannot be destroyed, the enemy will continue to charge up the city wall with energy.

"Prepare some explosives, I'll see if they come up!"

Jin Wushu didn't care, and had already thought of a way.

"good idea!"

Several people suddenly realized that it was useless to deal with tower carts and crossbows. Only gunpowder could cause damage.

"That... my baby!"

Wanyan Shou was about to laugh, but suddenly his face froze. He saw An Ba'ai who was patrolling outside the city on horseback.

"I'm a baby! I'm a baby from the Taichiwu tribe?"

Everyone looked over and saw a general dressed as a Mongolian servant.

"It's him, these dogs turned to Sun Lei!"

Wan Yanshou gritted his teeth and said that the Jin Kingdom had invited various tribes from the grasslands to help out several times, but in the end only the Tata tribe came, and the rest of the tribes just waited and watched. Now it seems that the Mongolian tribes have defected to Sun Lei.

"These damn traitors!"

Jin Wushu also had an angry look on his face. In his eyes, the Kingdom of Jin had replaced the Kingdom of Liao. The tributaries of the Liao Kingdom should also belong to the Kingdom of Jin, and all the grassland ministries should be tributaries of the Kingdom of Jin.

"I'm a bastard, you traitor!"

Wan Yanshou immediately yelled.

"Wan Yanshou, how dare you, the defeated generals, clamor to come out and fight!"

I Bahai looked at Wan Yanshou and shouted. He was here to show his loyalty today. Since he was recognized, he might as well make the matter bigger. The Kingdom of Jin would be destroyed anyway, so he had no worries.

Although Wan Yanshou wanted to tear my baby to pieces, he still held back because he knew he couldn't leave the city now.

Seeing that Wan Yanshou did not dare to leave the city, I started yelling and swearing arrogantly outside the city. Compared with the scolding formations of the Central Plains people, the scolding formations in the north were more interesting. They knew how to scold to anger the enemy.

"This guy has a dirtier mouth than me!"

Li Kui listened with great interest and commented on it. He felt that he still needed to learn these things, so that he could use them in the future.

"How do you know that learning something useless!"

Suisheng looked at Li Kui speechlessly.

"What do you know? This is also a type of tactic. Otherwise, what will you do if the enemy doesn't come out!"

Li Kui pointed at Huanglong Mansion and said.

I screamed and cursed for a long time, but the enemies in the city just refused to come out, and they only made my mouth dry.

"Can you bear it so well?"

The people in He'anda were also surprised when they saw it. The Jurchens were very impulsive. Why didn't they come out even if they were scolded like this today?

"Are you really afraid of being beaten? You don't even dare to fight as a general? There are many masters from the Jin Kingdom!"

Oqin Baer Hehei said.

"Qi's reinforcements have also arrived in the past few days, and the equipment is almost ready. They can attack the city soon. I never thought that the arrogant Jurchens would be here today!"

Hu Tucai was a little emotional. Ten years ago, the Jin Kingdom rebelled against the Liao Dynasty. Two thousand people broke into one hundred thousand, and twenty thousand broke into seven hundred thousand. The Jurchen tribe became the strongest tribe in the north through consecutive battles and victories. (End of chapter)
