Chapter 35, Shanyang City
Chapter 35, Shanyang City
After some preparation, Liuyun explained many matters one by one. Including the siege equipment, battle layout, siege battle array, war, tactics, etc., all of which were negotiated and then went to Shanyang City.
A total of 3,000 strong men, all of whom were elite soldiers, were loyal and divided into several groups into the city.
Each group was carried by the commander of the martial arts level, dressed in the military uniform of the burning dynasty, hurried away and rushed directly into Shanyang City. And most people hold bamboo shoots in their hands, with Zhang Dao, Li Hu, Wang Long and other names written on it.
These bamboos are signs used in the army to record the names of dead sergeants during the war.
Such a kind of bamboo is also called "back to the soul".
Because once the soldiers die in battle, other sergeants will bury their bodies, take out the bamboo, then take this "back to the soul" back to their hometown, and then give it to their relatives to set up a tomb.
And this "reator" is also a proof of the identity of a sergeant, which can confirm his identity.
Outside Shanyang City, Liuyun, General Pang and his two men and hundreds of sergeants have arrived at the gate and are ready to sneak into Shanyang City.
The other more than 2,000 sergeants have all been dispersed and entered Shanyang City in batches. Moreover, this Shanyang City was originally the city of the Youlan Dynasty, and these sergeants were naturally familiar with the road.
"All stop and line up for me!"
Looking at Liu Yun and these escaped sergeants, the sergeants guarding the city gate shouted coldly. They have been ordered to take these fleeing soldiers to General Fan Qing's camp.
Liuyun didn't say much. Hundreds of people went straight over, lined up, and then stood in a row. Then some defenders came and immediately began to search, interrogate things, check bamboo and so on.
Huh? It's going to be searched!" Looking at the sergeant who had begun to investigate in front of him, Liu Yun raised his eyebrows.
However, these are normal situations. As expected by Liuyun, tens of thousands of soldiers who have just returned from the collapse should not be sent to the battlefield, at most for patrol or training.
And during this period, there should be no heavy weapons, and even weapons have to be handed over.
"What about the search?" Liu Yun thought secretly and looked at the searched sergeants one by one: "I have loaded 3,000 weapons, all of which have been loaded into storage rings. Can you soldiers guess that I will hold extremely precious storage rings in the whole Shenwu continent?"
"Even if I show it to you, I'm afraid you won't recognize it." Liu Yun groaned coldly in his heart.
When it was Liuyun's turn, those sergeants could not see Liuyun's cultivation at all, so they thought that Liuyun was at least a master of martial arts, at least a small commander. So he didn't dare to offend him more, otherwise he would retaliate against him, and he could only admit defeat.
Liu Yun took out a bamboo shoot with "Zhao Yun" written on it. They just checked it casually and ignored the past. The other sergeants were strictly interrogated and interrogated, and there were even occasional disputes.
However, these disguised sergeants are all loyal soldiers without any clues.
After the search, hundreds of people were placed in General Fan Qing's barracks. Liu Yun is naturally the centurion of these hundreds of people and is temporarily responsible for restraining this team of hundreds of people.
At this time, Fan Qing came and secretly suppressed his strength to the martial artist. He was very cautious, while General Pang had already secretly arranged to go to the city to do business on the grounds of procurement of armaments.
And this "doing things" is, of course, making some small moves, secretly doing things and so on.
Huh? This person's temperament is extraordinary. It seems that he is not just a martial artist. Fan Qing stared at Liu Yun for a long time before saying to the crowd, "Guys, since you have escaped back, all of them are defeated. I need to confirm whether there are any spies among you, so I will come to check you from time to time."
"So you should all be prepared for this matter and don't resist." Fan Qing stood with his hands on his hands and said with extraordinary temperament, "If a spy is found, he will be executed immediately. If you get lost now and take the initiative to admit it and report some details, I can spare your life.
"I hope you can take care of yourself." Fan Qing glanced at the crowd and said in a kindly tone.
Although these words look like a warning, they also smell like this trick. But Liu Yun saw that Fan Qing was a rare general and a good general.
First, search carefully, and then come to warn in person and use the name of the general to deter. I guess in the evening, people should be arrested and asked. Under such a triple blow, I'm afraid that some people who are not strong will immediately reveal their feet and find out.
"If there is a chance, this Fan Qing must die, and I can remove this hidden danger for the Youlan Dynasty first." Liu Yun thought to himself, "It only takes one day, as long as we don't expose it, and we can start the siege tomorrow. At that time, everything is ready, why worry about Fan Qing?"
Sure enough, at night, there were patrolling soldiers everywhere near the barracks. Although the military tent is quiet, the sergeants are sleeping at ease. But from time to time, some people will pull out, interrogate for a while, and then send them back.
Some sergeants even had a bad mouth and were severely beaten, tortured and so on.
But fortunately, this was only the first day of the investigation, and no sergeant was killed or tortured to death. It was just a close examination, and then sent back to endure the pain and continue to rest.
Lying on the side of the board**, Liu Yun was not worried at all, but secretly admired it in his heart. The 3,000 sergeants brought here this time were all tough men with iron bones and were not oppressed. They said that they secretly sneaked into Shanyang City.
However, even if a sergeant tortures information, as long as there is no Wujun master to stop it, Liuyun can completely run rampant and walk without fear.
Lying on the hard **, Liu Yun just affirmed the day's idea of the day: "This Fan Qing must be eliminated, otherwise with such a good general in the burning dynasty army, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles in the future."
The next day, in the royal palace.
In the hall, the prince and a young man were sitting on both sides of the main seat chatting, with two cups of tea in the middle, which was full of fragrance. On the side of the young man also sat an old man in a white robe, very leisurely. The remaining dozen generals gathered below to discuss the war.
The table is full of wine, food, pastries, fruit plates and so on, which is very luxurious.
"This time I came out to practice, but I didn't let me kill a single martial arts master." The young man flicked his finger and said in a disdainful tone, and his eyes glanced at the generals below.
"Master Minghan, those of us who travel south and north to fight on the battlefield, so are you so leisurely? If you want to kill Wu Zun and practice, why don't you let Bai catch one and practice directly? The prince on one side joked.
The young man smiled, and the corners of his mouth showed grimness, but on the surface, he was magnificent.
This person is the young master of Tianyemen, Minghan.
Tianyemen is one of the three sects of the Shenwu mainland and the first sect of the Burning Dynasty. It can be said that if the burning dynasty is destroyed by other dynasties, Tianyemen can be regarded as a sect to protect the country and is bound to protect it.
However, sects do not need to be dynasty, each has its own rules, will not interfere in state affairs, and will not shoot military masters to participate in the war. And such a resolution is also a common agreement between the three dynasties.
Desp> Despite this, the prince still respects this Minghan and presents him as a guest of honor.
"Your Majesty!"
At this time, the discussion of the war below was over, and one of the generals said respectfully, "Your Majesty, young master, according to the detective, Qin Lang has led 200,000 troops to invade. We just got the information and made a deployment. Now we have to go to the front of the city and direct the war.
"I don't know, my lord, are you interested in watching it? Although in our opinion, 200,000 troops are under pressure, it is just a bluff, and there is no need to alarm the two. But it's also an interesting thing to watch Qin Lang sing the drama.
This general's voice was heavy, but he was repeatedly disdainful, as if he looked down on Qin Lang's 200,000 army.
But this is also normal. After all, Shanyang City is a strong city with 400,000 defenders. And in the general siege battle, the army that besieged the city should be at least twice as much as the defenders. But now, it's obviously the opposite. When encountering such a situation, people can't help but feel disdain.
"Qin Lang led 200,000 defenders to invade?" The prince was shocked and suddenly remembered what Fan Qing said and said secretly, "A few days ago, Fan Qing said that the military division named Liu Yun must have encouraged Qin Lang to control the army to invade, but now it is true. Could it be that I misjudged and misunderstood Fan Qing?
"Gentlemen."
"Qin Lang of the Youlan Dynasty actually led 200,000 troops to sing operas. Naturally, I Minghan will go to watch it." Ming Han, sitting at the head, said, "If he is not strong enough to capture the city, I will kill him and let his whole army be destroyed."
"Yes!"
The generals responded one after another, but they accepted Minghan's order in their hearts. Because they know in their hearts that the people who actually control the army are not only the prince, but also this Ming Han.
Then, the prince, Ming Han, Bai Lao, and the generals walked to the wall one by one and stood in front of the wall, looking at the dense army below.
At this moment, in Shanyang City, the sword is drawn, the bow is stringed, and the knife is out of its sheath.
The war is about to start, and a siege war is about to begin.
The gates on all sides have been tightly closed, and there are dense soldiers on the wall. There are a large number of crossbows on the wall stacks, and the atmosphere is very tense. Three kilometers outside Shanyang City, Qin Lang gathered here with 250,000 troops and was ready to capture Shanyang City.
The dense sergeant like ants and locusts will completely fill the empty land, all of which are full of black pressure. One by one, holding spears in their hands, holding big knives, holding copper hammers, holding long swords, like golden horses, waiting for the order to attack the city to be launched.
Originally, Qin Lang only planned to lead 200,000 reinforcements to attack the city, but there were 400,000 defenders in Shanyang City, and he was very heartless. Coupled with Liuyun's beating of him a few days ago, he also understood that it was not enough to rely on Liuyun alone. If Liu Yun leaves in the future, how can you resist foreign enemies?
With the name of "good general", it is impossible to suppress the ambition of the fiery dynasty. He must take the initiative to attack, kill a piece of armor, and fight a beautiful victory, so as to truly suppress the burning dynasty.
Therefore, Qin Lang directly pulled out the 50,000 guards of Yuyang City, and pulled out a large number of siege strong crossbows, stone throwers, ladders, fire oil bombs, iron armor bullets, rolling stone bombs, and a large number of sophisticated siege equipment, and threw all the home properties of Yuyang City here, ready to fight to the end.
Even the "shang"-shaped siege vehicles all appear here.
There are also some large wells, which look like wells, all of which are arranged in a row and directly used as siege chariots.
Qin Lang knows deeply that if it fails this time, the whole Yuyang City will immediately fall into crisis. However, if he wins, the Youlan Dynasty can be worry-free, and even defeat the burning dynasty and drive him out of Shanyang City.
Opportunities often coexist with dangers, but Qin Lang chose to believe in Liuyun and go all out.
"Marshal, we have arranged the battle array. I don't know when we can start the siege?" General "Luo Tiancheng" arranged a battle array, so he came to ask.
"Wait!" Qin Lang's eyes were heavy, and he just said this word.
Now that the city is about to be attacked, the agreed signal is the fire in the city. Liu Yun has discussed with Qin Lang. As long as the fire in Shanyang City is together, he will immediately start to attack the city.
And this fire has long been counted by Liuyun.
Mountain and Yang City, on the wall.
"Your Majesty, do you want us to take the initiative to attack? There are 200,000 troops, which is completely not a concern. Looking at the gradual arrival of some sergeants behind, Qin Lang should have pulled out all the family. Why don't we go straight out of the city and let their whole army be destroyed?
A general looked at the rolling army of the Youlan Dynasty and said with great disdain.
"Isn't it better to get the greatest benefit with the least loss?" The prince stood with his hands on his hands, and his robes were hunting, but he showed calm and stable as a mountain.
"Your Majesty!" The generals responded to the order.
The prince thought for a moment, seemed to remember something, and then said, "Why didn't Fan Qing come today?"
"Your Majesty, General Fan Qing has been arranged by you to take over the remnants of the escaped soldiers a few days ago, so he did not participate in the war today." A general replied respectfully.
"Let's send someone to call Fan Qing." The prince said lightly.
"Although he guessed the invasion of the Youlan Dynasty and Qin Lang led a large army to attack Shanyang City, he was still short-sighted. More than 200,000 troops still want to seize the city? What a joke. Now call Fan Qing over and let him see this joke.
The prince is extraordinary and has the power to control the overall situation.
He still refused to believe Fan Qing when he said these words. Although Fan Qing was wanted to be invited, he was asked to watch a "joke".
