The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 598 Siege of Xijing City

At the beginning of April, Lin Yifan and others finally arrived at Xiayang City. At this time, Xiayang City had already become a military city, and 20 soldiers and horses gathered here.

Following Lin Yifan's order, the 20 troops immediately marched towards Xiayang Pass.Only a few days later, they arrived at Xiashui Camp and joined Luo Feng's Zhenbei Army.

An army of 25 immediately went north and formally declared war on Donghu. 15 cavalry rushed to attack day and night, and went straight to the east and west capitals.

At this time, Xijing City was guarded by General Data, who commanded an army of [-] to guard against the Northern Army in Hengshan Town.

Regarding Hengshan, everyone in Donghu was very vigilant. Datta also knew a thing or two about the debate meeting held in Hengshan through the news from secret agents.Because of this, he didn't think that Hengshan would make any small moves in the north at this time.He has [-] troops stationed there, even if the [-] troops from the Northern Army came to invade, he would not be afraid.

However, at this moment, a scarred scout ran back desperately and reported to Datta the enemy situation in the west.

When Datta heard this, a thin layer of sweat immediately flowed from his forehead.According to the news from the scouts, Hengshan dispatched tens of thousands of cavalry to go north this time, and now it is very close to Xijing City.Most of his scouts scattered in the west were chased and killed by the other party. If someone hadn't rushed back desperately, I'm afraid that Xijing City would repeat the same mistakes.

As a result, Datta immediately rang the bell to warn, and the whole city was put on alert.Datta immediately sent people to hurry up and rushed to Sirius City to warn, and at the same time asked for additional reinforcements.

Just as Xijing City was getting ready, a dark tide gushed out from the horizon in the west, rushing towards their isolated city.

When he arrived at Xijing City, Lin Yifan carefully looked at Xijing City, and couldn't help sighing: "It seems that the other side is still prepared, and the attack strategy can be defeated."

"My lord, there is no need to worry. The infantry in the rear are already on their way, and they will arrive in a few days." Luo Feng said with a smile, "Before, the last general and the Golden Werewolf took down this Xijing city, why don't we repeat the old tricks again? Shi?"

"Forget it, Donghu people are not fools, how can they not see our strategy?" Lin Yifan shook his head and said, "Nowadays, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Wolf City, and they are not afraid of our army going to sneak attack. What's more, according to In the previous battle plan, the goal of our army was not Sirius City."

"The last general is worried that once the Donghu people gather a huge force, our army will not be easy to win." Luo Feng frowned and said, "It's better to take Xijing City quickly, and then go straight to Tianlang with all your strength. As long as you take Tianlang Wolf City, Donghu will be finished."

"A mere Sirius City can kill the Donghu people?" Lin Yifan glanced at Luo Feng and said with a smile, "You underestimate the Donghu people. They are nomads, and the city is not their root. Even if the Sirius City is broken, They can also rely on the huge grasslands to deal with our army. In this battle, our army will not be able to fight for a long time, and we should fight quickly. Therefore, the main force of annihilating Donghu is the main purpose of our army in this battle. As long as we can After defeating the main force of Donghu, the grassland will no longer have the strength to compete with me, Hengshan. I, Hengshan, want to occupy the grassland, so I can achieve it smoothly."

"Brother-in-law, I want to ask you something?" Luo Feng suddenly came up to him and asked in a low voice: "Can we really rule the grassland? Most of the places here are bitter cold. , but also daunting from the grassland. We have not pacified the Central Plains yet, but we are thinking about fighting the Donghu people first. Isn’t it a little bit of putting the cart before the horse?”

Lin Yifan glanced at him and said with a sneer, "Luo Feng, this is a question from some soldiers in our army, right?"

Luo Feng smiled wryly, "That's right, there are indeed such voices in our army. They think that we should win the Central Plains first, and then conquer the Quartet after the world is established."

"Well, I don't know that doing this will be good for us." Lin Yifan sighed slightly, "But the day will be unified, and the people's minds will be settled. At that time, if we want to launch the Northern Expedition, we will encounter many difficulties. It's better to take advantage of it." In troubled times, take down the grassland in one fell swoop and solve the serious troubles of your confidants. Then go south with all your strength to dominate the world."

"That is to say, brother-in-law, after you are going to take down the grassland, you will officially start the unification battle?" Luo Feng asked excitedly with his eyes brightened.

"That's right, it's been ten years. My Hengshan is full-fledged now, and it's time to start ending the troubled times." Lin Yifan nodded slightly, "However, the reason why I insist on the Northern Expedition and destroy Donghu is for the righteousness of the world. As long as we can destroy Donghu will be able to establish great achievements far surpassing the achievements of the previous dynasties. At that time, the people of the world will be with me, and the obstacles to unifying the Central Plains will be much less."

"Great, brother-in-law, then I'll pass on your message to the whole army and raise the morale of the soldiers." Luo Feng said excitedly.Then he bid farewell to him and returned to the army.

It didn't take long for Lin Yifan's words to spread throughout the army.The entire army couldn't help but be inspired, and morale soared in vain.

After the Hengshan Army besieged Xijing City, within a few days, one hundred thousand infantry finally arrived.

Two hundred cannons are lined up under the city of Xijing, with their black muzzles pointing directly at the city wall.

Datta looked at the dark cannon and swallowed involuntarily.As for Hengshan's artillery, he also knew how powerful it was.Now people have already ordered people to block the four gates to prevent the city gate from being broken by artillery.As for the city wall, he can only pray to God, don't be knocked down by the opponent.

Soon, the debugged artillery began to shell.Two hundred shells slammed into the city wall. After a roar, many dents appeared on the city wall, and the green bricks on it were shattered into pieces, exposing the rammed earth inside.

After some test firing, the artillery was adjusted again, and then the second wave of shelling flew into the city, hitting the battlements heavily, and some flew into the city wall and into the barracks inside.Although this wave of offensive was very ferocious, it did not kill many people, and Datta's nervous heart finally fell slowly.

However, the Hengshan army still launched an artillery attack on Xijing City without slowing down, and did not see it launching a large army to attack the city.

Datta couldn't help being a little puzzled. Could it be that the Hengshan Army is planning to besiege the city here to fight for aid?If that's the case, then God has favored Tianmeng.As long as His Majesty gathers hundreds of thousands of troops to come, the 20 Hengshan Army is no match at all.

At this time, the Hengshan Army didn't think so.Behind the army, large stone catapults are being installed on the carriages.

But one day, after the installation of the catapults was completed, a hundred catapults slowly moved down the city.

Datta saw the opponent's towering giant device, and immediately understood the opponent's intention.Immediately, he ordered the catapults and bed crossbows in the city to be transported to the top of the city. At this time, he could no longer care about the danger of these equipment being easily destroyed by the enemy's artillery.But if you can't destroy the opponent's catapult, you will lose the most in the end.

Soon, as soon as the Donghu people transported these equipment to the top of the city, they were immediately bombarded by the artillery of the Hengshan Army.In a short period of time, dozens of them were destroyed.

At this time, the catapults of the Hengshan Army finally arrived at the front of the formation and stopped less than 300 meters away from Xijing City.Packs of explosives were placed in the throwing pocket, and after the match was lit, they were thrown towards the city head immediately.

"Boom boom boom!" The explosives exploded around the city wall, raising a thick cloud of gunpowder smoke.
