Chapter 309 Siege on all sides
In order to calm down the State of Qin in one fell swoop, Lu Qiang used almost half of the country's troops this time, and more than 400,000 troops entered the State of Qin from all directions. This was undoubtedly the biggest move after Lu Qiang regained power.
After pacify the State of Qin, whether it is territory or strength, the current Jin Dynasty will be far away from the ancestors of the Sima family who laid the territory of the Jin Dynasty.
Lu Qiang did not personally participate in this largest battle, but took He Wuji as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy. He himself returned to Luoyang after coming out of the Shang Party.
Lu Qiang had already promised He Wuji that he must participate in the Northern Expedition. This is the ultimate dream of the Han people. Lu Qiang could not and had no reason to stop him.
Moreover, after the pactling of the State of Qin, there are still countless things to do. As the emperor, he only needs to control the overall situation behind the scenes.
He Wuji set fire to the allied forces, and then the news of Juqu Mengxun's return to Beiliang had already been sent to him. He absolutely support He Wuji's decision. Moreover, he also knew that Li Wei was not the master of Ansheng and must find something for him to do, and Li Wei could not take the opportunity to make it bigger.
Chang'an, once the national capital of the Han Dynasty, is inlaid on the land of Guanzhong like a bright pearl. Although it has experienced the war, with its rich background and the reconstruction of Yao Xing, it has already restored its former strength.
The wall is high and thick. From afar, it seems that a multi-angle monster is crawling there. Every section of the wall, there is a corner tower protrude out. Such a design can effectively kill the enemy who climbs up.
The moat is the Wei water, which is wide and deep, and can even drive thousands of warships on it. However, Yao Wenzong obviously knows that the Jin army's navy is powerful, so it has long been covered with dark piles underwater. Except for rafts, ships are almost difficult to walk.
On the periphery of the moat is 200,000 Qin army battalions, and another 100,000 are used to defend the wall.
Zhao Lunwen was the first to arrive. His task was to deter the Qin army from escaping and threatening the Jin army. And He Wuji's army did not delay for a long time, and almost arrived back and forth with Wen Chumao.
He Wuji came before defeating the coalition forces, but it didn't delay for a few days, which shows how anxious he was.
After the camp was built, He Wuji had no time to drink water. At the same time, he summoned Zhao Lunwen, Wen Chumao, Deng Xiang and others to discuss the matter, and came to the outside of Chang'an City to observe the enemy's terrain.
Zhang Changzhi's army has just left Tongguan, and now it is still on the way. The war has not officially begun, and there is no need for him to rush here now.
However, as far as Zhang Changzhi is concerned, he will obviously travel day and night. After all, as a soldier, such a war is only this time in this life.
He Wuji took the guards to look at the ancient city of Chang'an in the distance, and his heart was also full of mixed feelings. After more than 100 years, the Han people finally came back, and he commanded such a great battle. He no longer knew how to thank His Majesty.
For He Wuji, it is not difficult to take the city. The difficult thing is not to destroy it too seriously. Although the emperor has not given him this order, how can He Wuji have the heart to destroy this ancient imperial capital?
It didn't take much time. Zhao Lunwen, Wen Chumao and Deng Xiang arrived one after another.
These people are now generals on one side, and their respective armies are no more than 100,000. Usually, it is rare to see each other in a year. Although the reunion here feels intimate, the biggest feeling is that the other party has changed too much.
After listening to He Wuji's words, the two generals Zhao and Wen couldn't help nodding deeply. They are also the emperor's confidants. They know that although they are bleeding, the emperor's pressure is not less than them. The process of the war is destruction, which is very pleasant, but it is difficult to rebuild.
At this time, Deng Xiang had no choice but to retreat back.
"Bah! These Qin people are really gutless. They have become turtles with shrinking heads."
"Hehe! General Deng, don't worry. We just arrived. Everyone will go back for a night's rest. We will fight again tomorrow."
With He Wuji's order, the generals left and returned to their camp one after another.
Standing on the wall at this time, Yao Wenzong, who observed the Jin army from afar, couldn't help but breathe. Although he had made a strict deployment, the Jin army was too powerful. If the Jin army launched an attack desperately, he could not even guarantee whether the city could be defended in the end.
Not counting the peripheral Jin army, there are now 300,000 people besieging Chang'an, which is about the same number as the Qin army, but Yao Wenzong knows that the Qin army cannot be compared with the Jin army regardless of combat effectiveness or the morale of soldiers.
And this is not the worst. Yao Wenzong has heard that He Wuji has broken nearly 200,000 allied forces with 100,000 troops, so it is impossible to expect small countries such as Nanliang and Beiliang to drag the Jin army back. In addition, the news from various places also let him know that the states and counties did not respond much to the invasion of the Jin army, and even some places still care about these invaders, so they only need to deliver water and food.
Is this still the people of Daqin?
Yao Wenzong is so depressed. Someone just gave him advice to contact the Wei people. As far as the current situation is concerned, only the Wei people can fight against the Jin army.
Therefore, Yao Wenzong has sent someone to contact Tuobasi. As long as the Wei army sends troops to help the State of Qin repel the Jin army, he will give the richest Hetao area of the State of Qin to the State of Wei.
The information has been sent, but it will not be answered for a while.
Yao Wenzong is a royal family. What he wants is to keep Yao's country and society, but no one else thinks so! Zhifengtang, the internal government of Black Panther's own army, and the temptation of Yang Fosang have now formed an undercurrent and an undercurrent inverted Yao in the court of the State of Qin.
The next day, before dawn, the rumble of drums in the Jin army camp awakened the soldiers and civilians in Chang'an.
After receiving the report, Yao Wenzong had no time to eat. He put on his armor, grabbed the sword and hurried to the wall. He knew very well that the Jin army was going to attack.
If Yao Wenzong still doesn't know He Wuji, if he knows that He Wuji doesn't want to destroy the city too much, he will probably directly transfer all the troops back to the city.
In the morning light, 10,000 Jin soldiers came out of the barracks with hundreds of carriages escorted by iron horses.
Seeing this scene, Yao Wenzong couldn't help but be stunned and said to himself what the Jin army was going to do? Looking at the various wooden frames loaded on the carriage, I couldn't help but realize that the Jin army would use some secret weapons again.
Thinking of this, Yao Wenzong's heart was raised again, because these mysterious weapons of the Jin army can always bring too many surprises to people.
However, this time Yao Wenzong was obviously wrong. He saw more than 100 carriages quickly stop between the battalions of the two armies, and then countless soldiers began to be busy.
