Chapter 31: The Expedition to the Kingdom of Northern Hu (7)
Wen Bufan had long expected that it would be impossible for Deburzaha to abandon the city and surrender, when the shouting soldiers were shot back. Wen Bufan launched the first siege.
This time the siege was completely tentative, with loud thunder and little rain. After a short time, Ming Jin withdrew his troops. Naturally, Debulzaha would not go out of the city to pursue, and after a burst of indiscriminate fire at the Wen Bufan's army on the city wall, he gave up.
"General Sui, order people to survey the terrain everywhere, send scout horses, and pay close attention to the movement in the north." Wen Bufan said to Sui Shang.
Sui Shang took the order.
"This castle is more difficult to attack than expected." Wen Bufan said.
"That's why you attacked tentatively." Isabel said.
"That's right." Wen Bufan said: "Now those castle lords are waiting and watching, if we are in a predicament, those castle lords will inevitably attack us together with Deburzaha, so we can't attack easily without the certainty of victory." ”
"Our biggest disadvantage now is that we are not familiar with the terrain here, and we are alone in the expedition." Isabel said.
"If we encounter resistance if we have entered the Northern Hu Kingdom, we will not easily come to Mudra Castle, but the supply line is indeed a bit long." Wen Bufan said.
"Besiege without attacking, ensure the safety of supply lines. It is indeed a priority, but it has been a long time and is not good for us. Isabel said.
"That's right, so we're going to win!" Wen Bufan said.
Although the defenders in Mudra Castle are mainly cavalry, this castle is very strong, if it is attacked, I am afraid that it will not be able to attack for a while, and there are not many defenders in the city, so there is only outwitting.
"Wait until Sui Shang explores the terrain around here, and then we will make a calculation!" Wen Bufan said.
"There won't be bloodthirsty monsters in Mudra Castle, will they?" Isabel said.
"You reminded me that I have to tell them to make another dozen big ones and transport those mechs who are with the army in." Wen Bufan said.
"Hmm."
It took Sui Shang less than five days to survey the terrain around Mudra Castle, and Wen Bufan looked at the map hanging in the Chinese military tent and said, "Not bad! Then he looked at the map and said, "What is the wind right now?" ”
"It's basically southeasterly." Sui Shang said.
"Southeasterly wind." Wen Bufan repeated, staring at a mountain on the map, and said, "How far is the actual distance of Mudra Castle in this mountain?" ”
Sui Shang glanced at the map and said, "The actual distance is nearly fifteen miles!" ”
"Fifteen miles, a little far." Wen Bufan said, then moved his gaze to the west side of Mudra Castle on the map, and asked, "What about this mountain?" ”
"This Mudra Castle is less than three miles 11 miles away, and it is the mountain that we can see now." Sui Shang said.
Wen Bufan looked outside the tent, and there was indeed a big mountain standing there in the northwest.
Wen Bufan walked out of the tent, looked at the table and said, "The distance is okay, but it's just this wind direction." ”
"It's not always southeasterly." Isabel said.
Wen Bufan heard it, too, the battle of Chibi back then coincided with the middle of winter, isn't it also a time when the southeast wind blows?
"Wait for the wind!" Wen Bufan looked at Mudra Castle and said.
At that moment, a horse galloped into the camp. Dismount and salute, "Your Majesty, a large number of troops have been found coming to Mudra Castle from the north!" ”
"It came so quickly. It seems to have avoided Murhajita! Wen Bufan said.
"The last general will lead his troops to stop them!" Sui Shang said.
"How many are there?" Wen Bufan asked.
"No less than 100,000!" The scout said.
"Keep a close watch!" Wen Bufan said.
"Yes!" The scout said yes, and Pegasus went.
"General Sui, if you throw 100,000 troops, you must block this army that comes to help, at least for three days!" Wen Bufan said.
"Your Majesty, I'll take 100,000 troops, over there." Sui Shang said.
"It doesn't matter! I can send a message to Murhajita and let him go south, and if it goes well, he will be there in three days, and then you will fight back and forth and destroy this army of reinforcements! Wen Bufan said.
"Yes!" Sui Shang received the order and ordered the troops to go.
Wen Bufan looked up at the sky, thinking that he didn't know when the northwest wind would blow.
Murhajita received a message from Wen Bufan, only to learn that Mirto's large army had quietly moved south. Hurriedly led the Yanshan Iron Cavalry to the south.
, Debulzaha inquired about Sui Shang taking away 100,000 troops, knowing that Wen Bufan's troops were insufficient, he actually led the cavalry to attack Wen Bufan's camp, fortunately, Wen Bufan had already prepared, and Yu Qing'an's 30,000 troops transporting grain and grass arrived in time, so it was not seriously damaged, Rao is like this, Wen Bufan's camp was also forced to retreat dozens of miles. Deburzaha did not chase too far, and Mingjin withdrew his troops.
Wen Bufan, who suffered the defeat, was very annoyed.
"It's okay, aren't our equipment fine?" Isabel spoke out with relief.
Wen Bufan thought about it too, fortunately, in order to keep it secret at that time, he hid those instruments in a secret place, otherwise in today's war, once those instruments were destroyed, it would be a failure!
"Yes." Wen Bufan said.
Next, Wen Bufan was rectifying the camp, calming the hearts of the army, sending sentry posts, and just about to prepare to set up camp, Wen Bufan's eyes were attracted by the banner.
"The wind has changed!" Wen Bufan said.
Isabel, who was standing beside Wen Bufan, said happily: "I'll just say, it'll be fine!" ”
Wen Bufan happily hugged Isabel, and then said to the soldiers beside him: "Pass the order, the whole army sneaks and marches towards Mudra!" The 30,000 troops transporting grain and grass did not need to go back first, and marched together. ”
The soldiers took the order and went.
"You command the army outside, and I will enter the city myself!" Wen Bufan looked at Isabel and said.
"Be careful yourself!" Isabel said.
"Hmmm! Wait for my signal! Wen Bufan said.
Wen Bufan's army quietly advanced towards Mudra Castle, and five miles away from Mudra Castle, Wen Bufan led a small team towards the unknown mountain to the west.
In a short time, many hot air balloons flew up on that hill and flew towards Mudra Castle with the wind!
At this time, there were not many guards on the castle of Mudra, and it was already dark at night, and the guards did not see them until the hot air balloons flew very close. However, these guards did not know the hot air balloon, and they all watched curiously. It wasn't until the hot air balloon flew up to the city walls and killed people from inside that the defenders suddenly realized! But at this time, more and more hot air balloons have flown to the top of the city wall, and the soldiers of Donglai Kingdom have jumped down one after another, and what is even more terrifying is that there are hundreds of invulnerable mecha soldiers!
