Chapter Seventy-Three: Getting Better
Not surprisingly, at dusk, the left fort took the lead in losing, and the surviving guards withdrew to the main city, followed by the right fort was also crumbling, Li Qing simply ordered the soldiers of the right fort to withdraw immediately, and the left and right sides of the fort were immediately led by Wanyan Bulu, and from both sides of the fort began to threaten the position of Wang Qinian's department, Li Qing used the fort guard, the position under the city, the death trap formed by the main city was broken, Wang Qinian's department was already under the cover of Wanyan Bulu, and was forced to retreat, and the position advanced in the direction of the main city.
After paying more than 3,000 casualties, Wanyan Bulu finally cleared the outer positions and only threatened the main city of Fuyuan.
The barbarians stopped attacking at nightfall, collected their troops and returned to the camp, and the blow to Fuyuan's periphery was so difficult, so that Wan Yan Bulu was unexpected, a little anxious, and the small Weibao was already so difficult, it was more than ten times larger than Weibao, and the defenders lost more than ten times, and the difficulty of the attack could be imagined.
In his heart, he even thought of giving up this plan, but reason told him that he must not be like this, he was originally just a small tribe leader, and he was appreciated by Bayar, and after the annihilation of the clan, he actually ascended to the sky in one step, and became the left school king of the Bai tribe, and the command was far stronger than his original tribe, and there were many more people, the last failure had made the Bai tribe talk about himself, and he questioned himself very much, but Bayar Da Danyu withstood the pressure and still gave himself enough trust, if he failed again this time, If you pay such a big price and get nothing, you are afraid that Da Dan Yu will appreciate yourself again, and you will not be able to speak for yourself, the Bai clan is still a tribe that speaks with strength, even if Bayar Da Shan Yu has absolute authority, but he can't keep his subordinates' mouths shut, he has no strength, he is alone, if he can't show his superior ability, then how to gain a foothold in the Bai clan?
"Order, transfer 10,000 garrisons in the forest, escort 100 trebuchets, Mengchong vehicles, siege vehicles, and arrive in Fuyuan in Ming to participate in the siege." Wanyan Bulu made up his mind that Fuyuan must be won.
Nokia sat on the side, his face was not very good-looking, although he was only a small commander in the Bai clan, but he was Bayar's appointed deputy of Wanyan Bulu, and he was the pillar of the young generation that Bayar focused on cultivating, coupled with the relationship between him and Hu He, the first general of the Bai clan, so that although his official position in the Bai clan was low, his status was very high.
When Wanyan Bulu gave the order, Noqia did not raise objections, in his opinion, it was enough to leave 10,000 people in Shanglin to garrison, and Fuyuan, it really needs the addition of a new force, a small Fuyuan, let the brave warriors of the Bai tribe connect two failures, he can't accept it in his heart, he has won a hundred battles with Da Dan for many years, and he has suffered this kind of heartwarming anger there.
The grassland coalition army rested, ready to launch a more fierce attack tomorrow, and under the city of Fuyuan, Wang Qinian's department was still buried in work, within a thousand steps in front of the main city, all the new positions will be preset, rows of horses, iron thorns, boulders were moved out by the soldiers, behind these obstacles, a new trench has begun to dig, the excavated soil has been built into a new breast wall, and a few meters behind the breast wall, there is a new trench, such a defense line is arranged a total of three.
At the forefront, Wang Qinian sent a small team of soldiers to dig countless small shallow pits on the ground, which is a little method that Wang Qinian learned from fighting with the barbarian cavalry in many places, but it is extremely practical, think about it, the hooves of the galloping war horses stepped into these small pits, and with a bang, the horse's hooves broke, and the knights fell down.
Wang Qinian's department had been thinking about it in the second half of the night, and finally set up the line according to Li Qing's formation map, and Wang Qinian's troops were so tired that they withdrew to the city, and Feng Guo's 1,500 soldiers came up.
"Sleep, all sleep, tomorrow we will cheer on the brothers in the city." Wang Qinian shouted while walking in the city, cheering up the soldiers, two days down, his 1,500 soldiers were less than a thousand, and many of them were injured, at this time, it was impossible to get off the line with minor injuries, so they could only be bandaged casually, fortunately, there was a doctor Huanqiu with superb medical skills in the Changsheng battalion, which greatly increased the survival chance of the injured soldiers in the Changsheng battalion.
Li Qing didn't sleep either, he stood on the high city tower, looking at the brightly lit barbarian camp opposite, starting tomorrow, there will be a truly cruel battle, his five thousand soldiers, I don't know how many people can survive after the war?
Today's sacrifice is for the sake of peace in the future. Li Qing reassured himself in his heart, he had been in this generation for a long time, but he still couldn't treat human life as a mustard, and every time he saw the corpses of the soldiers being carried down, or the wails of the wounded soldiers in the barracks, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
Standing on the city tower, Li Qing stood silently until dawn, and Wanyan Bulu would mobilize the garrison in the forest, right? This is the most critical point of this battle, otherwise, all the sacrifices I have made here are worthless.
In the early hours of the morning, an intelligence officer from the Investigation and Statistics Department brought information that made Li Qing excited, and seeing the joy on the face of Qingfeng who was hurrying over, Li Qing knew that things were already developing in his favor.
"General, tonight, the barbarian army stationed in Shanglin began to move, about 10,000 horses escorted by trebuchets, Mengchong vehicles, siege vehicles to Fuyuan, it is estimated that they will arrive at noon tomorrow."
"The fish has bitten, but it's not strong enough, we need to add another fire!" Li Qing smiled.
At this time, countless cooking smoke was rising from the city and the city at the same time, and breakfast had already begun to be prepared, and soon, a new day of battle was about to begin.
Fuyuan offensive and defensive war is in full swing, the chief military division of the Changsheng battalion, Li Qing's most valued assistant Shang Haibo took a group of people to Yiling, Yiling is about dozens of miles away from Fuyuan Fortress, mainly mountainous areas, the most important iron ore in Dingzhou is here, the iron ore here is not only in storage, but also excellent quality, all along, it has been in the hands of the Fang family, Fang Wenhai is the backbone of the Fang family in Dingzhou, and the current Zhizhou Fang Wenshan is their biggest backer in Dingzhou, even if it is Xiao Yuanshan, Although he was dissatisfied with the Fang family's sneaking pig iron into the grassland, he was helpless, and could only imply that Fang Wenshan must strictly control the quantity, and must not let it threaten the life and death of Dingzhou.
For this point, Fang Wenshan is also helpless, as the governor of Dingzhou, he is very dissatisfied with Fang Wenhai's sale of pig iron, which is equivalent to directly in the enemy, the grassland is extremely lacking in iron ore, and the pig iron required is all dependent on trading, Fang's actions are equivalent to adding chaos to him, but as the Fang clan, the transaction of the grassland can bring huge economic benefits, which makes some people in the clan disdain Fang Wenshan's complaints, they don't pay attention to the grassland people at all, hundreds of years, I have never seen the barbarians on the grassland enter the Central Plains.
Fang Wenshan was helpless, so he could only tell Fang Wenhai sternly that the quantity must be controlled, but as for the actual situation, he didn't have a bottom in his heart, he couldn't be sure whether the account book he saw was complete or not, but every time he saw the massive amount of silver money that Fang Wenhai sent to the Fang clan, he knew that the other party must have broken through his bottom line.
He could only keep his mouth shut, and even swore to Xiao Yuanshan that everything was under control.
Since receiving the conscription order from the Changsheng camp, Fang Wenhai has been sick at the right time and can't get up, because there is no principal, of course, the Fang family can't take the idea and send the miners to the Changsheng camp, so the matter dragged on for a day, but what the Fang family didn't expect was that just a day later, the Changsheng camp had already arrived, and what made the Fang family even more annoyed was that the person they sent out to inform Fang Wenshan was intercepted, and the sneer on the other party's face when he sent the messenger back made Fang Wenhai begin to realize that the situation was not good, so his illness became even worse. He only had one word at this time, delay, drag it down, just say that this war is over, or let Fang Wenshan know.
Shang Haibo came with Huanqiu, aren't you sick? Okay, I have here the personal disciple of the current god doctor Huan Xi, and the nephew of this family, Huan Qiu, will personally come to see you.
When he arrived at the Fang family's compound, he saw the tall walls, the sentry tower, and the soldiers waiting for the sentry tower, Shang Haibo couldn't help but smile and said: "The defense is tight, no wonder the Fang family is not afraid of barbarians coming in, even if the Fuyuan fortress is broken, he can be regarded as impregnable here!" ”
Huan Qiu smiled and said nothing, he is a doctor, his mind is all about how to improve his medical skills, he is not interested in these things, but not being interested does not mean that he does not understand, he is also a person in the family, seeing Shang Haibo's actions, he naturally knows that the Fang family is going to be unlucky, since he followed Li Qing, he has seen Li Qing turn impossible things into possibilities, the Fang family, this time it is difficult to escape.
The door of the Fang family opened, and Fang Wenhai's son Fang Jiahao greeted his family with a smile.
"Lord Shang, it's not an honor to come to the Humble House, please, please!" You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder, Fang Jiahao sneered in his heart, the small Changsheng camp, actually wanted to seek my Fang family, it was really not self-conscious.
Fang Jiahao was very sure in his heart, all the troops of the Changsheng Battalion were now on Fuyuan Fortress, and he had no spare strength to deal with them, as long as he dragged on for a period of time, his uncle knew the news, but he saw how Li Qing ended.
Shang Haibo was also sneering, when he came today, he was not prepared, the dozens of subordinates he brought looked inconspicuous, but they were specially trained by the Department of Statistics and Surveys, today, he was going to use the strong, if Fang Jiahao closed the door and disappeared, he really didn't have any way, so he immediately welcomed himself into the door, that is to lure the wolf into the room, hehe, capture the thief first capture the king, take the Fang family father and son, but see what other tricks do you have? Fang Wenshan, save it, far water can't save the near fire, what's more, when did our general put Fang Wenshan in his eyes.
