Plane of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 242

Facing Zhao's [-] troops, Yeluqi didn't dare to neglect, and immediately ordered the city guards to make the most stringent arrangements to prevent the Zhao people from attacking the city.

Yeluqi stood on the city wall, facing the bitter cold wind, his cloak whistling behind him, behind him were a group of subordinate generals, Yeluqi looked at the piles of faint fires in the distance, his face was solemn Said: "It has been found out that Zhuozhou City was captured by the enemy in just one hour, Urian was killed in battle, and more than 1 soldiers in Zhuozhou City were all slaughtered by the enemy."

"The one who led the troops to attack Nanjing this time was Qin Guan, who was hailed as the god of war by the Zhao people. This Qin Guan was mentioned in the previous battle report. [-] soldiers and horses, killed Qu Li, wiped out Anashi's [-] cavalry, killed Anashi, Xixia was ready to move, and stationed [-] troops on the border of Zhaoxia. This Qin Guan made a surprise attack on Xixia and wiped out Zhang Wenxian The [-]-strong army made Xixia directly cut off the idea of ​​​​invading south."

"Now he led troops to invade our Great Liao Kingdom. He broke through Zhuozhou City in just one hour and killed Wulian and all Zhuozhou's garrison soldiers. This person is really amazing. I didn't expect Zhao Guo to have such a character."

The generals nearby were shocked when they heard about Qin Guan's achievements.

Qu Li and Ana Shi were both well-known generals in the Liao Kingdom, but in front of Qin Guan, they ended up with their entire army annihilated and decapitated.

Although Zhang Wenxian was from Xixia, he had a great reputation. He was the privy minister of Xixia and the commander-in-chief of the national army and horses, but he was also killed by Qin Guan.

At this time, Zhao Yanshou, who was staying behind, said: "I have also heard of this Qin Guan. He is the new champion of Zhao Guo, with first-class literary talents and famous poems all over the world. Some of his poems are even liked by our emperor. Unexpectedly, this person He even has a deep understanding of the way of leading troops to fight on the battlefield."

Yelu Qicai said: "This man's versatility in civil and military affairs is really terrifying, so we must be extremely careful. Nanjing is the capital of my Daliao, so we must not lose it."

"Yes, sir."

All the generals should agree.

Yelu turned around and asked Zhao Yanshou who stayed behind: "How are the people and businesses in the city doing? There will be a big war, and there must be no chaos in the city."

"They have already sent people to appease them. They believe that the people of Zhao State will not be able to break through the high city of Nanjing. Besides, with the tens of thousands of defenders of the general, isn't it easy to wipe out Zhao State's army?" Zhao Yanshou said.

Yelu Qicai shook his head and said: "If it was other Zhao generals, I would be sure to wipe them out easily, but this Qin Guan is an outlier. It is not by luck that he can have such a record. Fighting only depends on strength."

The North Route Army set up camp, lit a fire and cooked, and all the soldiers had a hot meal. After eating, Qin Guan ordered all the soldiers to rest.

There are strict regulations in the barracks, and no order is allowed to walk around at will, and those who violate it will be sentenced to death, so these soldiers all got into the tents to rest.

Generally, one team uses one tent, that is, five people per tent. The northern nomads have a lot of cattle, horses and sheep, so their military tents are almost all large cowhide tents.The cowhide of the army in the Central Plains is used to make armor, but no one is so rich. Basically, they are mainly made of cloth curtains. In order to prevent rain and moisture, the surface is covered with tung oil or grease.

However, Qin Guan's North Route Army actually used warmer cowhide tents, and the reason was that they were captured.

They fought a few big battles before, but they seized a lot of supplies from the Liao Kingdom.

Goudan couldn't sleep, so he moved his body, turned sideways and asked the corporal lying next to him, "Brother Shisuo, you said we can attack the Liao Kingdom, can we win? We only have 4 people, and this is their territory. "

Wu Chang Shisuo didn't open his eyes, but closed his eyes and replied, "Why can't we win? Ever since we joined Qin Shuai, we have never lost a game."

"But this can't be compared. This time we are going deep alone, and we don't even have logistics."

Shi Suo scolded: "You know what the hell, Shuai Qin is the number one scholar, the stars descended from the heavens, and he has been invincible since he led the army. Don't you know that, it must be right to follow the commander, look! When we attacked Zhuozhou City, the commander-in-chief invited a thunderbolt to smash the gate of the city, no one else could do that."

Goudan curled his lips, "Don't lie to me, I know it's fireworks medicine."

"You know an egg, why can't others use it? To attack a city, you have to climb up a ladder and use the lives of your brothers to fill it up, but our commander-in-chief doesn't use it. Others use pyrotechnic powder to make fireworks, but the commander-in-chief can use it." Come to attack the city, the commander-in-chief uses his mind, do you understand?"

Goudan nodded, "I understand."

"Understood, why don't you fucking sleep, you still have busy work at night." Shi Suo scolded,
"Oh, sleep now." Goudan quickly lay down.

The wind blew the curtain of the big tent rattling, and the flames of butter and wax in the big tent trembled. The guards rushed over and nailed the curtain with wedges.

In the big tent, the generals of the Northern Route Army gathered together, including Li Xuan and Army Sima. A map was placed on the table, which marked in detail the terrain of the Liao Kingdom, the city's roads and the roads.

This is the map of the Liao Kingdom seized in Zhuozhou City.

Qin Guan pointed to the map and said: "We invaded from Zhuozhou and pulled out the biggest nail in front of Xijin Mansion. Five thousand Liao soldiers were stationed in the two cities of Juyin and Yongqing on the east side of Xijin Mansion."

"The five cities of Changping, Fanshan, Ding'an, Shunsheng, and Yongning on the west side each stationed about [-] soldiers until Datong Mansion in Xijing."

"In the city of Xijin, there are [-] Liao soldiers stationed. This is their main force. The soldiers and horses from the four cities of Feiyin, Yongqing, Changping, and Fanshan can be used as support. Far away, I dare not come here for a while."

"What we are mainly facing now is the [-] Liao troops in the city, and the [-] Liao soldiers who may come to support."

"Isn't this analysis much clearer? Our [-] opponent is also [-], so it should be considered evenly matched." Qin Guan said relaxedly.

Others are not as relaxed as Qin Guan.

Li Xuan said: "Marshal, beware of them encircling us, after all we are going deep into the Liao Kingdom now."

Qin Guan shook his head, and said, "I won't give him a chance to encircle, and these teasing cities must be wiped out, so that we can eliminate our worries."

Qin watched the time was almost up, announced the end of the meeting, and then led everyone to the ordnance camp.

At the moment, the armory camp is busy. Hundreds of craftsmen are assembling trebuchets. Trebuchets appeared in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. They are powerful siege weapons. After years of improvement, they are now very advanced. Going out for thousands of meters is very powerful.

Qin Guan didn't know much about trebuchets, but he could improve shells.

Tonight, Qin Guan is going to 'bombard Xijin Mansion'.
