A Thousand Hills

Chapter 286

In fact, siege warfare is a very difficult battle. It is different from the war on the grassland. It is directly the exchange of real swords and guns. If there is a city, as long as the city is strong, the generals defending the city are not considered incompetent. It is not impossible for a city to fight against 3000 siege troops.What's more, there are 5000 guards in Min'an City, and Madam An's elite soldiers are [-] outside, plus [-] people who were invited by the Fifth Prince to practice together.Although Mrs. An was away, she was able to help the city defenders inside and outside. According to common sense, Feng Feiyu was the rebirth of Sun Bin, and it was impossible for him to take down Min'an City within three days.And the number of people brought by Feng Feiyu is only [-].

At least the city guard general Geng Tianyi and the Cui brothers were determined to defend Min'an City. They believed that although Feng Feiyu led the army, Min'an City had enough food and grass. Last month was always fine.And one month is enough to support the arrival of reinforcements.

The fifth prince was obviously not as optimistic as the three generals. The fifth prince didn't understand war, but he still had common sense about war.He also knew that it was not so easy to attack the city, but the fifth prince was even more worried when he roughly calculated the strength of Feng Feiyu's troops.He has common sense of war, but Feng Feiyu is an expert in war, and he is the only one who knows better than him.Feng Feiyu was able to personally lead less than 2 soldiers to attack the city, which shows that Feng Feiyu must have come prepared.

As for the possibility of Feng Feiyu pretending to be mysterious, encircling Min'an with troops to mobilize Liu Fufeng's army... No, if it was just to mobilize Liu Fufeng's army, Feng Feiyu could have sent other generals to make a surprise attack, such as Lin Fan, who is also a famous general in the world.

After thinking through all this, the fifth prince immediately ordered the entire city to be under martial law and guard Min'an to the death.

The Fifth Prince's order was correct, there was nothing wrong with it, if it was not Feng Feiyu who came but someone else, of course, even if Feng Feiyu came in person, the Fifth Prince's response would not be wrong at all.After all, Min'an City is a city four feet high, five feet wide at the base, and the city wall is the strongest city that has just been overhauled, but there are deep and wide moats surrounding the city outside the city.

Such a city has thick walls, high walls, and powerful weapons. Unless Feng Feiyu has grown wings, the fifth prince can't imagine how Feng Feiyu can attack Min'an City in a short time!
If he can't win in a short time, Feng Feiyu will definitely withdraw his troops. After all, Feng Feiyu's men and horses survived [-] dead, and the fifth prince knows that.

The soldiers and horses defending the city are well-trained. Geng Tianyi and the Cui brothers completed the defense of the entire Min'an City in the shortest possible time. The fifth prince even went to see the city wall in person. He is not a coward. I heard Feng Feiyu earlier. Fame, this time I also want to see it with my own eyes to see if Feng Feiyu is worthy of his reputation.Of course, at this moment, the fifth prince sincerely prayed that Feng Feiyu was a counselor who did not live up to his name, so the fifth prince must thank the heavens.But as long as you have a brain and think about it, you can know that Feng Feiyu can land from Minzhou Port and personally lead a large army to Min'an City. This is not something that a coward can do.

The fifth prince climbed up the city wall, first to see what kind of person Feng Feiyu is and how he has such a reputation; second, to boost the morale of the soldiers, don't make Feng Feiyu frightened.

Feng Feiyu didn't know that the Fifth Prince had gone up the city wall, and he was now confronting Mrs. An's troops. In the hearts of the Fifth Prince, Mrs. An was a first-class tough figure. They were the elite soldiers under Mrs. An's hands. They were also picked out by Mrs. An herself. Don't look at the fact that they are all young and in their twenties, but these children have done nothing since they were young, except for military training. They are definitely the best soldiers among the best soldiers.The last time the Fifth Prince asked Mrs. An for help, Mrs. An's [-] elite soldiers defeated tens of thousands of troops in Jingjiang.

Mrs. An's ability to lead the army, as well as the combat power of the soldiers and horses under her command, the fifth prince has personally experienced.But at this moment, Feng Feiyu shot straight into Mrs. An's army like a sharp arrow.Mrs. An roared "Okay"!Without any fear, he headed forward.

Mrs. An used to use two broadswords, while Feng Feiyu held a black iron spear. Both of them are famous generals in the world. With their identities acquired through many battles, to have such a reputation, their strength goes without saying. He is a good player, but in a blink of an eye, he has already passed a hundred moves.Mrs. An is an old lady in her late [-]s, who can perform hundreds of moves under Feng Feiyu's hands. Feng Feiyu also let out a long laugh, "Madam is good at swordsmanship!"Feng Feiyu stood just after passing by, in his prime, no matter how tough Mrs. An was, she was old after all, and she suddenly let go of the sword in her right hand. Feng Feiyu's spear went straight to Mrs. An's throat. If it were someone else, he would definitely be nailed to death by Feng Feiyu.Mrs. An was not afraid of danger, she threw the long knife with her left hand at Feng Feiyu, and dodged to avoid the sharpness of Feng Feiyu's spear. The shoulders are nailed to each other. Mrs. An is really a generation of ruthless people. She was able to skin her ex-husband alive. She must be ruthless to others, but Mrs. An is even more ruthless to herself. She grabbed Feng Feiyu's iron gun with her left hand like lightning and let out a roar Then he pulled the gun head out from his right shoulder, and his body was immediately covered in blood.

All of this was just in the blink of an eye, Mrs. An's own soldiers saw the situation, the army was still in chaos, and they were not afraid of death, and they snatched Mrs. An out in a flash of blood.Feng Feiyu galloped his horse and chased him wildly. The army passed by, and blood flowed like rivers.

The fifth prince unconsciously grasped the blue bricks of the city wall tightly with one hand, and said, "Cui Zuo and Cui You, you two should go out of the city to help each other immediately. You don't have to confront Feng Feiyu face to face. Just lead the army to disturb his lineup and let Mrs. An get out of trouble." Mrs. An Such a strong man is no match for Feng Feiyu, and the fifth prince will not let Cui Zuo and Cui You die.

Cui Zuo and Cui You led 8000 people out of the city, and chased after Feng Feiyu. The two of them left the city a little later, even after chasing after horses, they ran for less than half an hour before catching up with Feng Feiyu's troops. They really helped a lot Don't be too busy, but when the two groups of people merged and fled back to the city from the south gate, there were only 8000 soldiers and horses left, almost half of them lost.

At this moment, it was only noon, and the scorching sun in July was hanging overhead, but the wind blowing brought a hint of autumnal coolness.

The fifth prince immediately ordered the imperial doctor to consult Mrs. An when he returned home, and comforted Cui You, whose eyes were reddish. Cui You was extremely sad when his brother died, but on the battlefield, life and death are common things. Cui You said, "Your Highness, rest in peace." , I will go to have a look at the city defense again, although Feng Feiyu is brave, but let's stay behind closed doors, I'm sorry he can't do anything for a while."

Mrs. An had just taken a dose of ginseng soup at this moment, her face was as white as paper, her breath was unstable, but her mind was clear, she said, "General Cui, don't be careful, I think Feng Feiyu's visit is not kind."

The Fifth Prince said, "My Madam, rest at ease and heal your wounds first, this King has his own countermeasures."

It's this time, and the fifth prince is not the leader of the army, so what countermeasures can he have?Mrs. An was really worried about the safety of the fifth prince, and the imperial physician brought the soup. Mrs. An took a breath, looked deeply at the fifth prince, and said, "Three days, as long as we can defend Min'an City for three days, there will be reinforcements!" After speaking, He took the bowl of soup and medicine, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

Mrs. An closed her eyes to rest, and the Fifth Prince took Cui You out.

When the army is approaching the city, the best idea is to start a fight. If you can't fight, it's good to be able to defend.

Now that Mrs. An's soldiers and horses have been taken back, the fifth prince made up his mind to defend the city.

When I only heard of Feng Feiyu's name before, the fifth prince thought about it, even though Feng Feiyu is extremely famous, he is also a mortal body after all, how brave he can be, now that he has seen it with his own eyes, there is no need to compare, the fifth prince also knows that Geng Tianyi and the others are not opponents .

If you can't beat it, keep the city well.As soon as the reinforcements arrived, he didn't believe that Feng Feiyu refused to retreat.

The fifth prince made up his mind, even Geng Tianyi and Cui You also meant the same, the monarch and his ministers were united, but after lunch, the fifth prince went up to the city wall and immediately understood that these three days might not be easy to guard.

Min'an City is impenetrable.

The city wall is strong and there are moats outside. Feng Feiyu has to go through the moats first if he wants to attack Min'an City.There have been constant wars in the past few years, so the trenches in Min'an City have been dug with great care, deep and wide.Since it is necessary to cross the trench, a bridge must be built.Since it is a trench bridge, most of the trench bridges are wooden bridges. Min'an City has prepared some tung oil cannons for this purpose, and they will throw them over as soon as Feng Feiyu builds the bridge.The wooden bridge is afraid of fire, Feng Feiyu built it for three days and three nights, and the fifth prince is not afraid.But the Fifth Prince's eyesight was not good, and when he looked from the city wall to the distance, he felt that Feng Feiyu didn't look like a wooden bridge.The Jingjiang army got a huge simple wooden raft and threw it into the trench, so that the wooden raft floated on the water, and continued to spread things like dry firewood and reed mats on it, and then used soil as a bedding.

Here I have to explain first, according to the eyesight of the fifth prince on the city wall, he can only see the action of the Jingjiang army throwing the simple wooden raft into the water. As for the dry firewood and reed mats, they cannot see clearly.However, the Fifth Prince had never seen this method of crossing the trench, and Geng Tianyi could not understand it. However, this did not prevent him from commanding the soldiers to throw stones and cannons at the two rocks of the trench to stop the Jingjiang Army Build in the trenches.

After this battle, Feng Feiyu's latest method of crossing trenches quickly replaced the previous method of building wooden bridges, because Feng Feiyu's method was not afraid of stone cannons or fire, even if it was smashed, it would just lose some stone cannons or The engineers and soldiers who were crushed or burned to death by tung oil cannons, but then again, there are no undead in war.

Feng Feiyu's genius method of crossing trenches by stacking bridges is really a great pioneering work in the history of war.It was ten o'clock in the evening when Feng Feiyu's soldiers finished erecting the bridge.

Feng Feiyu left the patrol manpower behind and started having dinner.

The fifth prince didn't even have the heart to eat dinner, but he knew that he would have to eat even if he couldn't eat it at this time, otherwise, he would starve to death just as the bastard Feng Feiyu wanted!
After dinner, the fifth prince sent someone to visit Mrs. An, and knowing that Mrs. An was still sleeping, he ordered the imperial physician to take care of Mrs. An.The fifth prince had a serious face, still full of confidence, but in his heart he was worried about defending the city.He is a novice at war, but seeing Feng Feiyu erecting the moat bridge today, he is afraid that the city will be attacked tonight, so now he has to rely on the strong city wall to defend it.

The fifth prince was thinking about this, when he heard a loud noise from outside, the fifth prince was standing indoors and his body swayed, and he felt that the ground trembled under his feet, and the guards outside shouted, "The ground is shaking!"

The fifth prince stepped out quickly, the sky was full of stars, the fifth prince had experienced an earthquake, and immediately shouted, "It's not an earthquake, don't shout!" He stood on the blue stone steps in front of the hall, and ordered, "All guards gather!"

After a while, Jiang Li ran over, the fifth prince saw his forehead was sweating, and Jiang Li said as he bowed his hands in salute, "I have military information to report!"

The Fifth Prince was talking to him in the room, Jiang Li said in a low voice and quickly, "The north gate has been broken, General Geng and others can still resist for a while. Your Highness, please change your clothes with me immediately, and I will send you out of the city."

The fifth prince's complexion changed drastically, and his hands and feet were numb. He waited until Jiang Li stepped forward to serve him and take off his clothes. The fifth prince came back to his senses and asked sharply, "How could that be? How strong is the city wall of Min'an City!"

Jiang Li's subordinates kept on talking, "Feng Feiyu brought a large amount of gunpowder and blew up the north gate."

The Fifth Prince pushed Jiang Li away and said, "Call Governor Su over."

There is no need for the fifth prince to call, Governor Su has already arrived with Jiang Xun at his side, Governor Su didn't bother to say anything, and said directly, "The carriages and horses are ready outside, Your Highness, please change immediately!"

The five princes, a man of seven feet, had tears in his eyes at this moment, and he couldn't hide his sobs, and said, "I am the vassal king of this place, how can I abandon the people and run away."

Governor Su said in a deep voice, "Your Highness is the King of Fujian. As long as His Highness is in Fujian, what is the so-called 'escape' word! Feng Feiyu came for His Highness, and when His Highness leaves the city, the people of the city will be safe. Your Highness, please take care of the people's safety, Get out of the city as soon as possible!" Normally, Governor Su is such a stern person, but the fifth prince didn't know that Governor Su had such a sophistry ability.

Governor Su directed Jiang Li to continue changing the fifth prince's bodyguard uniform, but he kept saying, "Does Your Highness think that what the old minister said is an excuse? Feng Feiyu led the troops to take Min'an quickly, not for His Highness, but for the old minister? When His Royal Highness leaves, Feng Feiyu will lead an army to pursue him, he has no interest in Min'an City, at least, the people can be preserved. Your Highness doesn't have to worry about anything, His Highness thinks about the princess and His Royal Highness in the imperial capital, just protect yourself!"

While talking, Jiang Li put a golden silk armor on the inside for the Fifth Prince, and a guard robe on the outside, and even changed the boots for the Fifth Prince to a pair of black boots worn by ordinary guards.The fifth prince took the feudal king's seal and put it in his arms, while Jiang Li changed into the usual clothes that the fifth prince was accustomed to wear, and Jiang Xun immediately escorted the fifth prince to the prepared chariot and horse.The fifth prince still wanted to take Governor Su with him, and Governor Su said, "You can't put all your eggs in one basket. Don't worry, Your Highness, I will have my own way to deal with it. Your Highness doesn't need to worry about Mrs. An." He asked Jiang Xunjiang to leave the second People, "Your Highness is safe, entrust the two of you!"

The two said, "I will live up to my lord's entrustment!"

Governor Su waved his hand, and Jiang Xun Jiangli carried the Fifth Prince away directly.

It's not that the fifth prince never escaped his life. He pretended to be defeated when he first took over in Fujian. He took his wife, children and common people with him and followed him later. But at that time, he was not counted, but this time he really escaped for his life.

At this moment, Min'an City is in chaos, with knives, arrows, and gunfire. Compared with the previous six gates that were closed, at this moment, all six gates of Min'an City are open. Except for the north gate that Feng Feiyu attacked, the other five gates seem to be agreed. Five teams were sent out, fleeing in different directions.

The five princes were in the tightly packed carriage. The whole body of the carriage was made of red sandalwood. The windows were not opened, and the inside and outside were covered with a layer of iron sheet. The prince held on to the armrest tightly, still swaying all over his body, the sound of fighting outside seemed to have never stopped, the fifth prince felt that it was a very long and difficult time, but in fact, it took only half an hour before the carriage stopped At that time, Jiang Li asked the fifth prince to get out of the car. The stars above his head were shining brightly. Jiang Li said, "Your Highness must be wronged to change horses."

Without Jiang Li's explanation, the fifth prince also knew that the horse's feet were fast.The fifth prince was very uncomfortable, but he refused to show the slightest bit on his face, he said, "What a grievance!" Taking the reins from Jiang Li's hand, the fifth prince jumped without stepping on the horse's stirrup at all. He got on the horse deftly.The fifth prince's martial arts are mediocre, but because he has a wife who likes to exercise every morning, over the years, the fifth prince has also developed a good habit of exercising.What's more, he has been in the south of the Yangtze River for several years, even though he has not participated in the battle in person, he often goes out of the city, and he is no stranger to riding a horse.The fifth prince held the reins in one hand, looked around at the people following him, and said in a deep voice, "In the past, I only heard of Feng Feiyu's bravery, but I saw it in person today, and his reputation is well-deserved! However, General Liu took it back from Feng Feiyu's hands! Don't say There are people who can beat Feng Feiyu in the world, manly men, dignified men of seven feet, get rid of ghosts and gods, there is nothing to be afraid of in the world! Even if swords and swords are imminent, men should laugh right! Give this king cheers up!"

The fifth prince often does things to appease the hearts of the people and encourage the hearts of the army, and he is very skilled at this moment. After speaking, he waved his horsewhip, "Let's go!"

The fifth prince ran away sullenly, and Feng Feiyu chased after him, even Jiang Li didn't understand, how could Feng Feiyu be able to catch up as if he could smell it, even though they were divided into five routes.

The fifth prince went straight to Tingzhou without stopping at night, and Feng Feiyu's army roared in. The fifth prince once saw Feng Feiyu's invincibility on the city wall. At this moment, Feng Feiyu was right in front of him. Appreciate the extraordinary momentum!Feng Feiyu was eight feet tall, and at the moment he was riding a bay red horse, wearing black clothes and soft armor, and the aura that was refined in the mountains of swords and seas of fire almost hit his face.The fifth prince sighed, "You are a beautiful woman, but why are you a thief?"

Feng Feiyu reined in his horse and laughed loudly, "His Royal Highness, please surrender. This commander can guarantee that everyone under His Highness will survive."

The fifth prince also didn't care about feeling that the beautiful woman was a thief, and said coldly, "I am a dignified prince, I would rather die in battle than surrender to a rebellious minister!" Pulling out the sword around his waist, "Kill!"

Feng Feiyu slowly raised his left hand, and was about to make an offensive gesture, when he suddenly felt that the wind was not right, Feng Feiyu's raised hand suddenly folded, and then a sword light fell on the top of Feng Feiyu's palm, Feng Feiyu followed his body and swept away, then The Taoist figure passed close to him, Feng Feiyu didn't have time to swing his spear, and he slapped out with a palm. Just as he was facing this person, Feng Feiyu felt an incomparably flexible force attacking him. Most of the flexibility melted away, and with the help of Feng Feiyu's palm, the man leaped into the air with his feet and turned around to catch the falling sword. When the man turned his head, the Fifth Prince was so excited that he almost shed two vats of tears: chop hands Madman, but here we come!
There was still an undissipated fragrance of roses in the air, Feng Feiyu looked at the person coming, raised his eyebrows lightly, "fish essence?"
