Chapter 994 Attack the heart first

On this day, the grass fills the whole land, and Istria's unique highland style is like a soft woman, showing her beauty. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the breeze is coming, blowing a few wild flowers, the white clouds in the distance are leisurely, the blue sky is like a dome covering the four fields, and everywhere the eye is around, a few goats are leisurely eating the fresh grass. What a beautiful highland grassland, what a peaceful wilderness, but in the distance, a black tide is surging, the sun is shining, and there is a piece of silver that makes people feel cold all over the body. A few shepherds saw the endless tide and stared blankly, even forgetting the time, and this scene was frozen here. After a long time, a child exclaimed, and crawled and ran away, "Orientals... called....."

What should come will come, and the city of Vladimir was full of Slavic soldiers, who knew that the Easterners would definitely fight, but when this scene came, they were still frightened. The black tide that can't be seen at a glance, the silver-armored cavalry that makes people's hearts tremble, how many people there are, I can't count them, in short, there are many, many, that momentum Gaia is eternal, swallowing mountains and rivers. This heaven and earth seemed to be held in the hands of the boundless Oriental army, and those black-armored infantry did not have a high shout, but their high chests and cold eyes showed their confidence and arrogance, and somehow, every Vladimir had a feeling that the Oriental people did not take this city seriously. Yes, with so many soldiers and horses, like ants, they can't see the horizon for hundreds of miles, how can they put Vladimir in their eyes? They want the whole of Kipros, they want a vast land.

A bluestone wall, with a domed castle in the middle, looks like a magic stone rising from the green meadow. A piece of bluestone, I don't know how much wind and rain it has experienced, the years have left traces of vicissitudes here, an ancient city, even older than the city of Kiev. The city of Vladimir, which has carried thousands of years of highland civilization in Kiporos and gathered the wealth of the plains of several dynasties, is now facing the attack of the Eastern army.

On a high slope, Zhao Yougong sat on the soft grass, looking at the beautiful and ancient city from afar. This city is not only beautiful, but also tall and magnificent, majestic, and under the sky, there is a proud posture. Claire changed into a military uniform, although Sanniang's military uniform was a little short on her, but it was a little more gentle in her heroic spirit. Looking at the city of Vladimir in front of her, Claire couldn't hide her exclamation, what a beautiful and magnificent castle, at least in Scotland has never seen such a place. Looking at the camp that stretches for hundreds of miles in the distance, I am even more amazed, 100,000 troops, what kind of pride is this. The so-called war of a few thousand men in Scotland is nothing compared to the Orientals. At this moment, Claire really felt what the gap was, the Eastern Empire and Scotland were not at all a country on the same level, and many things would never be recognized if you didn't see them with your own eyes.

I don't know when, Dongfang Jin, Yang Zaixing and others came to the high slope, more than a dozen people, except for Dongfang Jin, the others were all dressed in armor, with swords hanging from their waists, majestic. Especially Yang Zaixing and Shi Wengong, who are burly and dignified, show a killing spirit in their gestures. In the face of this Istrian city, they had no doubts, only confidence, and the 100,000-strong army rushed over, and it was a tide of crushing momentum. Vladimir is not the city of Wuzhou, and similarly, there is no other king of Jinling, Zhao Yougong, in the city. The miracle of the Battle of Wuzhou City is irreproducible.

"Your Highness, the Mongolian servant army is ready, I don't know which part to send to attack the city first?" Hai Dongzhu smiled and didn't feel anything wrong, she looked at Zhao Yougong with a smile, and didn't pay attention to the dissatisfied eyes of Gao Zhong and others. Hai Dongzhu is also selfish in doing this, and there are only Kyiv City and Vladimir next, except for these two places, I am afraid there will not be too many opportunities. Hai Dongzhu needs to fight a good battle to further establish his prestige. To control the Mongolian ministries, not only for the sake of the great cause, but also for oneself. As long as the Mongolian tribes are firmly in control, then her position in the harem will be very stable. Hai Dongzhu doesn't want to compete for favor, but he also doesn't want to become a dispensable character.

Gao Zhong and Shi Wengong and others were naturally unhappy, attacking Vladimir was a good errand, as long as they could take it, it would be a great credit, how could they be willing to give it to those Mongolian servant troops? Only Yang Zaixing was silent, standing coldly beside Zhao Yougong like a guard. In fact, Yang Zaixing is not not fighting, but he understands in his heart that how to fight this battle, His Royal Highness and others have already decided, and it is useless to fight at this time. Sure enough, Xiao Zhiyun was wrapped in a cloak, as if it was cold, "Okay, don't fight, everyone has a part in attacking Vladimir." However, the city of Vladimir is thick with high walls, and there are many rolling stones in the city, there is plenty of food and grass, and there are a lot of troops, so if we attack it strongly, I am afraid that the losses will be not small, which is not a good thing for us. Therefore, Her Royal Highness Concubine U has discussed, not to attack in the early stage, and to besiege and deter. Gao Chong, Shi Wengong, Yu Xiaochen, a few of you will reorganize your troops and horses from tomorrow, and disperse in groups of 1,000 people to clear the forces around Vladimir, in short, there are no Slavs within a radius of 50 miles from Vladimir, and you will completely turn this place into an isolated city. ”

Gao Zhong and the others were a little angry, but they didn't dare to disobey the military order, Xiao Zhiyun looked at Hai Dongzhu with deep meaning, and continued with a smile, "Hai Guiren, don't stare at Vladimir, tomorrow you will rectify the Mongolian departments, and be stationed in the northwest of Vladimir with the concubine, and Yang Shaolie's cavalry will also accompany the concubine." ”

Hai Dongzhu was a little stunned for a while, Gao Zhong and those people were sent elsewhere, why couldn't she Hai Dongzhu get the task of attacking Vladimir? It doesn't seem to be good to be stationed in the northwest, and in this case, the Slavs will not send any reinforcements. However, Hai Dongzhu knows Xiao Zhiyun's personality very well, this woman is as wise as the sea, bottomless, and never does meaningless things, after thinking about it, she can only nod in agreement. Yang Zaixing will not have any objections, he is very confident in Xiao Zhiyun.

Under the coercion of hundreds of thousands of troops, the soldiers and civilians in Vladimir City were panicked, and the huge military camp outside the city was overwhelming, and many people directly lost confidence in the face of so many troops. The Great War of a hundred thousand people at once has never happened since the birth of the Slavs in this place. Guarding with fear, the Orientals did not attack. By the next day, more than 100,000 Eastern troops finally made a move, first many cavalry and Mongols bypassed the city, and then a large number of soldiers and horses dispersed, but no troops were sent to attack Vladimir. Lovednov finally recovered a little, he originally wanted to stand at the head of the city to boost morale and organize the defense of the city, but the Oriental approach was completely unusual. But the more this is the case, the more panicked it is, and the soldiers and civilians in the city who are tortured by the invisible pressure are very uncomfortable. Soon, Lovednov knew what the Orientals were trying to do, and looking at the smoke in the distance, he knew that some rebel forces outside the city had been poisoned.

The town of Yurma has more than 2,000 inhabitants, which is a very large town in Kipros. On this day, the town of Yurma was plagued by soldiers, and countless black-armored soldiers broke into the town, captured many young men and blacksmiths, and issued a strict order that if anyone dared to help Vladimir City, the whole family would die. The Orientals swept the town with a domineering attitude, but the Slavs had no temper at all. In fact, after the Great Plague and the forced conscription order, there were not many young people left in the town, and when they were caught by the Orientals, only the old, weak, sick and disabled were left. This trick was conceived by Dongfang Jin, this trick was drawn from the bottom of the kettle, and even scared and bluffed, which can be regarded as breaking the foundation on which Vladimir depends.

The captured Slavic young men were not idle, all of them were thrown outside the city of Vladimir to dig up a pile of soil, to the delight of these Slavic young men, the attitude of the Oriental people is quite smooth, as long as they work hard, then they will not beat or scold, and they will be given food when it is time to eat. Eating fragrant rice and eating dishes, this day is more comfortable than usual. Gradually, the Slavic young men had no complaints, and they became more energetic in their work, and thousands of Slavic young men dug pits outside the city to pile up soil, and two days later, a mound of soil about one zhang high was piled up more than ten zhang south of Vladimir City, although it was not high, but it could not withstand the mound and slowly became higher. Luo Weide was anxious in his eyes, he figured out what the Orientals were going to do, this was to slowly make a small dirt mountain, condescending, and slowly consume Flekimir City. Luo Weide never thought that he would face this situation, in order to deal with the siege of the Orientals, he prepared many means of defending the city, such as fire oil and stones, but all of them were useless. Once the easterners have a geographical advantage, with the easterners' trebuchets and crossbows, how much will Vladimir's side have to defend the city?

Scoundrel, Luo Weide thought for a long time and only came up with such a word, a hundred thousand troops, such a big advantage, like a crab can crush Vladimir City, but it turns out that he plays this kind of siege of the city. Looking at the earth mountain slowly forming outside the city, the faces of the Slavic soldiers at the head of the city also turned earthy, and every inch of the earth mountain was high, the soldiers' hearts broke a little, this was simply inhuman torture. It's just that it's not in the shooting range, and besides, the people who work are ordinary Slavic people, can you attack them? Originally, there were still many people in Vladimir who maintained some confidence in defending the city, but with the situation outside the city, these people also began to waver.

Sometimes Zhao Yougong also has to admire Dongfang Jin, this big official's grasp of people's hearts is simply outrageous. This trick is simply vicious. Watching the earth and mountains outside the city form little by little, there is nothing to be done, and the feeling is that the fat pig is waiting for the butcher knife to fall, and the psychological torture can make people crazy. On the third day, some Slavic soldiers couldn't stand it anymore, and scolded them by holding on to the battlements, "Brave bandits, you have the ability to come and attack the city, grandpa wants you to look good." Feed.... You, that's you... What are you doing, Yakina, why are you working for the Orientals, are you going to kill people? ”

The young man named Yachina looked back at the city, and he didn't know who was shouting, but he stopped what he was doing, and shouted with his shovel, "What bastard, what are we doing to get in your way?" I said it a long time ago, don't die for Viache. Hurry up and come out to help with the work, even if you pile up the soil, you don't get tired, you have enough rice and vegetables for every meal, and you still have to get paid every day. ”

"I.... I relied on the angry Slavic soldier who almost didn't fall from the city, but he almost made Yachina turn against him. Good guy, there is enough rice for one meal, there are still vegetables to eat, and there is a salary, which is fucking cooler than being a soldier. Luo Weide's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he felt that those Slavic young men outside the city were simply a group of tumors, more terrible than the plague. Luo Weide felt that he had to find a way to kill this group of Slavic scum, otherwise they would mess around, and the defenders in the city would collapse sooner or later, and it was estimated that in the first half of the month, let alone desperately, whether he could pick up a knife or not was a matter of whether he could pick up a knife. Eat well, and get paid, is this still a captive, is this still a slave?

Early in the morning of the fourth day, Yachina and the other Slavic boys began a new day's work with shovels, and Yachina was full of smiles, and kept laughing as she dug into the earth, and just last night the Great General of the East rewarded him with a gold bar. Just a few words, I got a gold bar, but it made those guys red-eyed. It was almost noon, and many people with red eyes and gold bars stood on the dirt hill and shouted, "Humar, you can't get water in your head, the hundreds of thousands of people in the East have drowned Vladimir with a mouthful of spit, and you are still waiting to die inside." Come out quickly, your old lady said, let you go out of the city to dig the soil, and you can earn ten catties of rice a day to go home. ”

For a while, there were shouts outside the city, shouting everything, digging soil for a day and taking home ten catties of rice, this salary is too gratifying. Not to mention, many Slavic soldiers in the city are tempted, don't they join the army just to eat? Since the great plague, they have been forcibly requisitioned for food, so that they have no food if they are not soldiers. They don't know what the Kipros Empire dreamed of, and they came to serve as soldiers more to survive than to fight hard. And ten catties of rice a day is really moving.

Luo Weide was short of breath, and he could only secretly curse shamelessly, he couldn't bear it, so he immediately called the soldiers and whispered a few words. At this time, Luo Weidenov completely lost his due maturity and calmness, and had lost confidence in defending the city, and now the Orientals have come up with so many tricks, if they don't fight back, there will really be guards running out to help dig pits and pile up dirt mountains.
