Vol 2 Chapter 240: Siege

When the feeling of hatred gradually calmed down, Xu Qi'an re-examined the battle, and suddenly felt a chill in his back and a deep chill in his heart.
With his logical reasoning ability, after listening to Zhang Kaitai's description, the battle has been resumed in his mind.
The core of this battle is the wizard god.
Game and war unfolded with the wizard as the core.
Aiding Yaoman is only a superficial reason. What Wei Yuan really wants to do is to deal with the witch (the reason is unknown), and the first emperor and the witch sect are to protect the witch god.
Based on this, the layout of the Wushen Sect is:
The first emperor dragged his legs behind him, and when the army entered the enemy's territory, he cut off the grain and grass, cut off the army's supplies, consumed Wei Yuan's force, and pushed the great soldier into the abyss of immortality.
Afterwards, two third-rank Linghui masters, one first-rank great wizard, and one second-rank Cross Tribulation, made the final conclusion. As long as Wei Yuan's forces are weakened to a certain extent, they will definitely take action.
Wei Yuan's response method was to slaughter the city all the way, raise the battle with war, and push it all the way to the hinterland of Yan Nation, the capital of the country where there is no food, grass and armaments.
Then, he repaired the plank road in darkness and walked around behind the enemy by water. .
From this point of view, Wei Yuan expected the imperial court to be delayed. So he was ready to fight fast from the very beginning, leaving no way out, not supplying, searching on the spot, fighting to raise the battle, and pushing directly to the base camp of the Witch God Sect.
In the final battle, Wei Yuan faced four super masters. If he were only a second-rank martial artist, it would be impossible to defeat the four, let alone fight the wizard god.
Wei Yuan also took this into consideration. He has reliance, and his reliance is the Confucian sage.
"Everyone thinks that this battle is to help the monsters and barbarians and maintain balance. Who would have thought that there is a deeper purpose behind the witch gods, who would use the plan and invite the monarch to enter the urn. Wei Gong will also use the plan? And calculating? It really makes your scalp numb."
Xu Qi'an muttered to himself.
He still has some doubts that have not been resolved? For example, since Wei Gong is a martial artist in the realm of the same Dao? He is a terrifying powerhouse of inhuman level, why has he kept a low profile for so many years and declared that he has no cultivation base? Is he an ordinary person?
Another example? Why did the first emperor join forces with the Sorcerer Sect to kill Wei Yuan, although a second-rank courtier did make people feel jealous to the scalp. But can you end up with a tiger?
Based on the relationship between Wei Yuan and the queen? The first emperor only needs to hold this handle? There is a bargaining chip. And? There is a monitor above? Want to maintain the overall stability? It is not difficult.
On the contrary? Send your own country's soldiers and generals to the enemy's mouth on the initiative, and the consequences are obviously greater.
Xu Qi'an thought of a familiar sentence: Why is your Majesty rebelling?
This is his doubt at this time.
One last point, Wei Yuan did not hesitate to capture the general altar of the witch sect with the consciousness of fighting to death? Why?
It turned out that I didn't even have the ability to collect the body for him. Xu Qi'an felt a pain.
With his thoughts ebb and flow? He took a deep breath: "Weigong? Has been keeping a low profile?"
Zhang Kaitai let out a "huh"? He looked at the entrance of the military account with a dazed look, and slowly said:
"After the Battle of Shanhaiguan, Wei Gong had a private conversation with His Majesty? Then he abolished his cultivation base. We couldn't understand it at the time, and now we can't understand it. I didn't expect that Wei Gong would secretly rebuild the martial arts. Very pleased,
"The earthen jar will not be broken away from Inoue. The general will inevitably die before the battle. If he can die on the battlefield as a powerful man, I have no regrets about Wei Gong."
Xu Qi'an asked again: "Except for Yang Yan and Jiang Luzhong, you are the only golden gong that survived. What are your plans for the future?"
"If you do a beater, you will be a beater for the rest of your life." Zhang Kaitai tilted his head and looked at him: "What about you?"
The answer to him was silence.
At this time, a lieutenant hurried over, his face worried, and loudly said: "Your commander, the scout is here to report, Yan Guo and Kang Guo gathered 80,000 horses and came towards Yuyang Pass, at most half an hour, just Soldiers approach the city."
Zhang Kaitai's expression changed, "Who is the leader?"
The lieutenant said in a deep voice: "Mr Yan, Nuerhega."
Zhang Kaitai was taken aback and fell into silence. He commanded:
"Call in generals of commanders of thousands and above to come over for discussion, let all soldiers go up to the city wall, and ask the militiamen to go to the warehouse to carry equipment and armaments for the city."
He skillfully gave instructions without rushing, but his stern look showed that the golden gong's heart was extremely heavy.
After a while, a dozen generals wearing armor and knives stepped into the military tent, bowed their hands to Xu Qi'an and Zhang Kaitai, and took their seats.
Probably knowing that the two armies of Yan and Kang were about to come to the city, the generals looked serious, and did not say much to Xu Qi'an.
Zhang Kaitai looked around the crowd and said in a deep voice, "Yankang and Yankang have counterattacked, so it seems that the Witch God Sect is going to live with us endlessly."
There are experienced generals who have a keen sense of warfare. After withdrawing to Yuyang Pass, they have done a situation analysis.
The Witch God Sect suffered a terrible loss in this battle. It even broke through the seven cities. There are too many things to deal with. Under such circumstances, the correct way is to deploy troops and repair the destroyed cities while sending scouts to keep an eye on the border.
In the short term, it is impossible to lightly start a war. On the contrary, it means that the Witch God will be immortal with Dafeng.
"Our troops are not strong enough"
"There is not enough food and grass. Chen Ying killed the dog officials of the household department, only to realize that the food and grass had not been transported at all. The dog officials of the household department deliberately concealed us."
"Collaborating with the enemy and treason, we should be full. Brothers are desperate in the front. These dog officers stabbed us in the back, son of a bitch."
Zhang Kaitai knocked on the table, corrected the subject, and said:
"What we have to do now is to hold Yuyang Pass, and then send a report to the court, so that the court can quickly send troops to support. But the food is a problem, and the food in the warehouse cannot support the arrival of reinforcements."
A general groaned: "Yuzhou has been a place where grain is produced since ancient times. The local people will not be short of grain and can ask for grain from them. We can't trust those dog officials now, so let's send people to collect grain by ourselves."
Zhang Kaitai frowned: "This is not in compliance with the rules, and the people may not be willing. By then, don't fall for a violent stigma, and give the civilian officials the handle to impeach us."
"They will be willing."
The local general said word by word: "The court forgot about the debt 40 years ago, but the people of our three states will never forget it."
The food matter came to an end, and the generals turned to discuss the issue of troops.
Everyone frowned.
"With the speed of the imperial court's deployment of troops, can we defend this more than 6,000 people?"
The Witch God Sect is no better than the barbarians. The barbarian siege depends on corpses to pile up. The Witch God Sect has siege equipment, a small part of which is made by itself, and some are secretly smuggled big weapons.
In the battle of Shanhaiguan, the Sorcerer Sect learned from the pain and summarized the reasons for the defeat. He believed that the Great Feng was able to conquer Kyushu, and heavy destruction weapons were the most important support.
So they secretly colluded with Dafeng officials, embezzled the arms, and then dismantled them. After so many years of learning to imitate, they also learned to make many siege equipment.
Including gunpowder.
However, the Sorcerer Sect does not have warlocks. The siege equipment, artillery and crossbows they make are all mortal things, but the magical weapons they make are very powerful.
"If you can't keep it, you must keep it. The Witch God Sect is a paper tiger. This wave of repulsing them, we win. If you can't repel them, you have to hurt them, and it hurts them. Just like the battle of Shanhaiguan, let them be devastated. ten years."
"It's a big deal."
While speaking, Zhang Kaitai's lieutenant glanced at his immediate superior and said in a deep voice:
"Chen Ying, the dog thing, left the camp without authorization. Now we have only a handful of fourth-rank masters, and it is difficult to stop them. I remember that Nurhega is a fourth-rank, double fourth-rank of martial arts and wizarding systems."
This sentence made the generals here frowned and the atmosphere was solemn.
"Tuk Tuk"
Xu Qi'an knocked on the table, attracted everyone's attention, and asked, "Budo and wizard double cultivation? Who is this Nurhega?"
To be honest, he is now well-informed, but he rarely encounters such dual-system characters.
Somewhat surprised.
Cultivation is so difficult, and it's not easy to be in one system. How can there be extra energy to practice other systems?
Zhang Kaitai responded to his question: "The inheritance of the throne of the affiliated kingdoms of the Witch God Sect is different from that of our Central Plains. In the system of the Three Kingdoms of Yan Jingkang, government affairs are handled by the ministers, and the monarchs hold the military power. Therefore, the monarchs of the past are brave and brave martial arts. , Is also a veteran of the battle.
"And above the two, there is a third-rank master of the witch gods who acted as the national teacher. The national teacher only asks about the military and politics, but he is the person with the most power in the country. Except for the establishment of the monarch, the national teacher has the right to decide and deny all affairs. The monarch is actually more like a commander in charge of a country’s military strength."
No wonder, the monarch of Yasukuni, Xiahou Yushu is hailed as a handsome man second only to Wei Gong, I wonder, these two, when the emperor is a sideline? What a side job
Xu Qi'an nodded suddenly, understanding roughly the class system of theocratic supremacy.
Zhang Kaitai continued:
"Nurhega is a contemporary Yanjun. His overall planning ability may not be as good as Xiahou Yushu, but in terms of personal combat power, the two Xiahou Yushus are not his opponents. Nurhega is not only the pinnacle of the Fourth Stage, but also a dual system. The pinnacle of the fourth product.
"Before the march, we were even ready to replace him with two, or three, four ranks. Who wants to?"
Who thinks we can't even attack Yan.
Xu Qi'an glanced calmly at the generals present, and saw that their expressions were solemn, as if they were a little negative and frustrated because of Zhang Kaitai's remarks, he immediately nodded and did not ask any more.
Listening to comrades-in-arms talking about the strength of the enemy is a morale-damaging thing.
In terms of war, Xu Qi'an had no experience, so he stopped participating, half-closed his eyes, thinking.
His silence disappointed the generals who knew Xu Yinluo was a master of warfare.
The pinnacle of the fourth rank of the dual system is a bit difficult. Xu Qi'an weighed it over and over in his heart and found that he was not capable of defeating his opponent.
First of all, the superposition of different systems can produce qualitative changes. Just as Xu Qi'an used Confucian magic books to temporarily become an "all-rounder", and single-handedly conquered Li Miaozhen and Chu Yuanzhen.
At the time, his was two grades lower than the two.
Secondly, there are strengths and weaknesses in the fourth rank. Li Miaozhen, a rising star who has been promoted to the fourth rank for half a year, encounters the fourth-rank peak-level powerhouses, basically being beaten.
What is the concept of the pinnacle of the four products of the dual system?
Under the third rank, not many can beat him.
"My world with a single sword and a Taiping sword can pose a threat to a fourth-rank master, but it can only be a weak fourth-rank like Li Miaozhen. Moreover, it may not be able to cut the opponent. The deterrent effect of the Buddha's lion roar is effective against the proficient in the soul field. The wizard doesn’t work. If I can’t cut that one, I’m done.
"Master Shenshu didn't wake up either. You will never wake up a person who hangs up, even if you say nsl
"The Confucian magic book is a very strong support, but I don't have the Haoran righteous body protector. If I use it too ruthlessly, I will die first. If I don't use it ruthlessly, I can't kill the dual system of the 4th Pinnacle at all."
After carefully examining his methods, Xu Qi'an was a little discouraged.
In the case of not opening up, using the fifth-rank body to kill the fourth-rank peak dual system is too reluctant, almost impossible to do.
Even if he unites Li Miaozhen and Zhang Kaitai with the power of three people, it will be no problem to fight a Nurhega, but there is no shortage of masters in the army of Yan and Kang, and there are still 80,000 horses.
Outside Yuyang Pass.
The sky was blue, and on the desolate plain, densely packed army slowly advanced, followed by artillery, infantry, and cavalry, with distinct levels.
Before the artillery, there were six huge siege vehicles, drawn by twenty-eight horses. This kind of siege vehicles were manufactured by Yan Guo according to the drawings leaked by the Ministry of War.
It can be raised and lowered, with a maximum height of seven feet, which is enough to cope with the height of most of the city walls. As for those buildings that are in danger, even if the height is enough, the siege truck will not drive in.
This is also the reason why Wei Yuan Siege did not carry a siege vehicle. The Yanguo pass was dangerous and narrow, mostly relying on the location, and the siege vehicle was useless.
In the cavalry lineup, Nurhega rides on the back of a tall monster, which looks like a horse, covered with pitch-black scales, and a sharp unicorn protruding from his forehead.
The unicorn of Yasukuni.
Nurhega's mount is not an ordinary unicorn beast, and Xiahou Yushu's love horse is the brother of a female compatriot, and both are the heirs of the psychic beast in the Jingguo Racecourse.
"Brother Red Bear, Yuyang Pass has only less than 20,000 defenders. How long will it take to capture it?"
Nurhega with the gray sideburns turned his head and looked around for a ride.
It was a sturdy man in black armor. There was a vertical knife scar on his left face, from the eyebrows to the chin. This scar not only broke the face, but also ruined an eye.
So it is a one-eyed.
The one-eyed man is equally distinguished, he is the younger brother of King Kang, and the red bear of the ancient capital.
The red bear is just like its name.
This person has an extraordinary talent and amazing stamina. When he was in the refinement state, he once broke the bones and tendons of the martial arts practitioner in the Qi state.
Kang Guo went up to the temple and down to the rivers and lakes. This person's cultivation base can rank in the top twenty.
The ancient capital Hong Xiong squinted his eyes and looked at the towering walls of Yuyang Pass with a grin: "At most half a month."
Nurhega shook his head: "I said five days. Of course, if the situation is as I expected, then maybe three days will be enough."
Su Gudu Hong Xiong stared at him with eyebrows.
Nuerhega smiled and said: "Wei Yuan is dead, and the morale of the soldiers is low. It is another blow to see our 80,000 horse soldiers approaching the city. In addition, most of the high-ranking warriors of Dafeng have been damaged in Jingshan City. How many masters can there be in a small Yuyang Pass? Yes, is it enough for us to kill?"
Su Gudu Hong Xiong nodded slowly.
The burly half-hundred man continued:
"Furthermore, our soldiers are vigorous, Wei Yuan is in the general altar, and the great army died in the general altar of the shaman sect. From another angle, is it very exciting?"
They attacked Yuyang Pass this time under the order of the General Altar of the Witch God Sect, and the command sent by the national division of Yi Erbu was concise: kill!
kill!
Kill as much as you can, and kill as much as you can.
Repeat the massacre of thousands of miles ago forty years.
Nurhega looked at the big banner of the city head hunting and hunting, squinted, and said:
"Wei Yuan slaughtered the people of my country of Yan, and shaken my spirit of the witch god. Now, it is our turn to shake Dafeng's luck."
Shaking luck is very simple, it is war, it is killing.
A country is made up of a single individual. The larger the population, the stronger the luck. It is self-evident which of the small country with tens of thousands of people and the big country with tens of thousands of people is stronger.
The allied forces of Yankang and Kang stopped, and the sound of footsteps, wheels, and armor collision disappeared, and there was no sound.
Xu Qi'an followed Zhang Kaitai and other generals to the top of the city, overlooking from a distance, 80,000 horses lined up neatly, like slices of tofu.
These 80,000 horses feel like a small colony of ants, but the black pressure is so dense that it also makes people feel suffocated, and the oppression is like a tide.
The guards at the head of the city looked solemn, as if approaching an enemy.
Zhang Kaitai pressed the handle of the knife with a solemn expression, overlooking the army under the city, and said in a deep voice:
"The Lich Cult is not the same as the Monster Man. The Monster Man has nothing but cavalry. We charge and fight on the battlefield with the Monster Man. We lose more and lose less. But the Monster Man is also very witty and rarely siege.
"But the Sorcerer Sect has artillery, crossbows, siege equipment, and pawns who are good at ant-attached siege."
Xu Qi'an suggested: "Didn't you say that Wei Gong smashed through the hinterland of Yan Nation. Yan Nation had suffered a heavy loss, and now he has assembled his troops. Heh, how many troops can he dispatch?
"Maybe, they are very empty now, can we sneak around and attack the capital of Yan Country?"
Zhang Kaitai shook his head: "It's not that simple. Nurjah is not stupid. He must have left a minimum of troops to defend the city, and then stand firm and clear the country. Our artillery is limited, and it can't be used for a siege.
"Don't let the artillery be gone, the city hasn't been captured yet. Wouldn't it be that he lost his wife and broke down. The capital of Yan Nation, even Wei Gong couldn't take it in a short time, let alone us.
"If we fight against other cities and the front line is stretched too long, the enemy can easily cut our grain and grass, and the brothers sent out will be sacrificed in vain."
Xu Qi'an nodded slowly.
At this time, he saw Yiqi walking out, and with his eyesight, he could vaguely see that he was a burly man with frosty white temples, and his eyes as sharp as knives, and his aura was strong.
Under the crotch, a black scaly animal, the horse, is vicious.
Nurhega? He made a guess in his heart.
Then, including Xu Qi'an, the guards at the head of the city saw the monarch of Yan Country, holding his saber high, turning his horse's head, and roaring towards his army:
"The sons of the country of Yan, half a month ago, the Dafeng army invaded our territory and slaughtered seven cities. Parents and brothers were slaughtered, and their homes were burnt to the scorched earth. Have you forgotten them?"
The Yan Nation army uttered an overwhelming roar: "I haven't forgotten!"
Nurhega continued to growl:
"This is our hatred, but it is not a shame. Half a month ago, Wei Yuan died in Jingshan City in battle and was killed by our wizard teaching. He used his life to pay the price for his actions. He was honored by the army god, but so .
"Dafeng's proud military was easily killed by our witch gods, and became a stepping stone to our fame as Kyushu. Now, it is time for the weak Dafeng to taste our anger.
"We want Dafeng to know that the territory of the Witch God Sect cannot be violated. Those who kill our people will pay the blood debts."
Every time he said, the aura of Yan Guo's soldiers rose by one point, and his confidence rose by one point.
In the end, the momentum is like a rainbow.
Kang Guo's army was also affected by it, and its fighting spirit was high.
This speech was very successful, because it had a solid foundation and a firm basis: Wei Yuan was killed by our shaman's teaching!
In the half month since the Battle of Jingshan City, Yan, Kangjing and the Three Kingdoms trumpeted the news that Wei Yuan was punishable in the general altar, which excited the people, soldiers, and even people of the Three Kingdoms.
Regardless of whether there is any suspicion of evasive propaganda of the witch gods, facts are facts.
Especially Yan people, hearing this news, can be said to be cheered by the whole country.
The great military who was so famous in the battle of Shanhaiguan that made the veterans who participated in the battle heard of it, was not killed by our wizard god.
The people who had been complaining turned their anger into joy, and the army that had lost confidence regained its morale.
At the top of the city, Xu Qi'an looked gloomy.
Nuerhega pointed at Yuyang Pass with a blade and shouted, "Siege!"
With an order, the war started.
The two 10,000-person steppers from Yankang and Kang took the lead in charging. They pushed three siege vehicles, carried ladders more than ten meters long, and carried hundreds of kilograms of siege hammers.
Behind them, archers, artillery, and crossbows all fired to cover the infantry to attack the city.
On the head of the city, the drums were like thunder and the horns were blowing.
Boom, boom, boom!
The artillery mounted on the female wall fired successively. One after another, the artillery smashed into the enemy army. The exploded flesh and blood flew all over, and the stumped limbs splashed.
Boom, boom, boom!
The sound of the bed crossbow is clear, and a series of white crossbow arrows are shot at a distance. The lethality of the crossbow arrows is less than that of the artillery, but the range and penetration are better.
Therefore, the target of the crossbow arrows is the artillery, the crossbow, and the enemy masters further away.
Under the sixth-grade bronze skin and iron bones, no Wufu can block the strike of the magic weapon.
And even if it is the sixth rank, if you take it hard, you will get serious injuries.
In addition to artillery and bed crossbows, thousands of soldiers bent their bows and fired arrows downward.
In half a time, more than a thousand pawns died in the charge.
The sound of screams, screams, roar of artillery, and the sound of crossbow arrows intertwined into a blurry picture.
Only the siege vehicle can advance slowly.
The siege vehicle is huge, made of a mixture of steel and wood, and will not cause much damage even after a few shots. There are also high-grade martial arts guards on it to prevent the destruction of artillery and crossbow arrows.
In the steel cabin of every siege vehicle, there are nearly a hundred elite soldiers.
Once these people get on the top of the city, they can tear a hole in the fire net in a short time, reducing the pressure of the soldiers who are climbing below.
Xu Qi'an, who was staring at the siege soldiers below ~EbookFREE.me~, turned his eyes and found that a siege vehicle had approached the city wall.
The artillery hurriedly raised the muzzle and aimed at the siege vehicle.
A few shells went down, only to make it tremble violently, cracked, and could not be destroyed.
"Peace!"
Xu Qi'an patted his waist lightly.
The Taiping sword clanged out of its sheath and whizzed away. The dark golden light of the sword was as fast as a thread. It swiped lightly on several load-bearing pillars. The next moment, it "clicked" repeatedly, and the siege vehicle fell apart.
The heavy steel cabin crashed down, killing dozens of foot soldiers.
Peerless soldiers are invincible.
At the head of the city, the surrounding Dafeng soldiers burst into loud cheers, shouting "Xu Yinluo" and their morale skyrocketed.
In the distance, in the cavalry camp, Nurhega frowned, looked around, and asked, "Who is that person?"
