Chapter 1094: Ice Blocks Defend the City

Goose feather snow suddenly fell near the Buyeo Royal City, and the thick snow made the entire Buyeo City surrounded by a fairytale world, however, in this fairytale-like world, there was a cold killing machine hidden, the 200,000 elite army of the Yan Kingdom was ready to launch the final blow to the Buyeo Royal City, and the main general Murong Ke was even more determined to break through the Buyeo Royal City on this day, annex the Buyeo Kingdom, and collect the surrendered soldiers and horses of the Buyeo to enrich the Yan army to resist the Jin army that was about to arrive.

Outside the Yan army's Chinese army tent, Murong Jun stood with the generals of the Yan army, braving the goose feather snow and looking in the direction of Fuyu Wangcheng, and the sudden heavy snow increased the difficulty of the Yan army's siege, which made the foreheads of Murong Jun and the others appear wrinkles.

The Lord General Murong Ke's eyebrows and beard were covered with snow, but he didn't bother to take care of them, as if he didn't notice these small details at all.

"Second brother, the younger brother has a reluctant request, I don't know if to say it?" On the eve of the war, Murong Ke thought about it for a long time, and finally held back enough courage to say it.

Murong Jun turned his head sideways, looked at Murong Ke, as if he saw his thoughts, paused, and said with a straight face: "Since it is a reluctant invitation, why do you say it?" ”

Obviously, Murong Jun hoped that Murong Ke would command the battle wholeheartedly and not care too much about other things, so as not to be distracted.

Murong Ke was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "But this matter is related to my Dayan's national fortune, so my brother can't bear to say it." ”

Murong Jun closed his eyes and nodded slightly, letting Murong Ke say his reluctant request.

"Second brother, after breaking through the Buyeo King City, please forgive the people and soldiers in the city, and let the Buyeo soldiers join our army, so that our army can grow, and at the same time, it can better win the hearts of the people of Buyeo." Murong Ke said with a straight face.

When Murong Jun heard this, he frowned and said: "Buyeo's resistance is so stubborn, even the common people have gone to the city to help defend it, if you forgive them, how can you convince the soldiers of our army." Have you considered how to vent the anger of the soldiers who have been besieging the city for several days? ”

"Second brother, right now, the Jin army is eyeing the city, if we slaughter the city just to vent our selfish desires. Then the people of the whole territory of Buyeo will all fall to the Jin army, so that all of them will be enemies of our Dayan, so that we will not get anything except the Fuyu Royal City, and there will be no hope for the revival of the Dayan Kingdom. Murong Ke said loudly.

Murong Jun heard this. Slightly stunned, what Murong Ke said was very reasonable, at this moment the Yan Kingdom has reached the point of exhaustion, except for more than 200,000 troops and more than 100,000 people who follow, there is nothing left, if all the people in the whole territory of Fuyu oppose the Yan army and surrender to the Jin army, the Yan country will be completely finished.

"What the fourth brother said is that if all the hearts of the people of Fuyu fall to the Jin army, the consequences will be unimaginable, okay! After the city is broken, the people will not be killed. The Buyeo soldiers who put down their weapons and surrendered were also pardoned, and in addition, capture the king of Buyeo alive, don't kill him, and he will be needed to conquer the hearts of the Buyeo people in the future. Murong Jun said with a straight face.

"Yes, second brother." When Murong Ke heard this, he was very happy, and he seemed very energetic.

"The hour is almost up, get ready to attack!" Murong Jun ordered softly.

Murong Ke nodded and ordered, "The whole army leaves the camp." Prepare for the offensive. After speaking, he led the soldiers and horses besieging the city, carried all the siege equipment, and slowly marched in the direction of the Fuyu King City.

At this moment, on the walls of the Buyeo royal city. The king of Buyeo is consoling the soldiers under his command, because yesterday's battle caused heavy losses to the soldiers of Buyeo, a large number of soldiers were injured and lost their combat effectiveness, but the Yan army did not suffer much loss, there are still nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses, and the Jin army is about to reinforce it. It is inevitable that the attack will be strengthened today, in order to break through the royal city before the Jin reinforcements arrive, so the king of Fuyu is very worried about whether he can hold the city today.

"King, although the losses of our army are huge, all the people in the city are willing to help defend the city wall, and even the servants of Weichen have come to help in the battle, so we will definitely be able to defend the royal city today, and tomorrow morning, the Jin army will arrive outside the city, and the Yan army will only have to escape." Seeing that the king of Buyeo frowned, a minister comforted.

When King Fuyu heard this, his frowning brows eased slightly, and after a pause, he asked: "The Jin army Wang Meng's department only has 80,000 troops, and the Yan army has nearly 200,000, can the Jin army really beat the Yan army to the ground?" Wouldn't it be bad if the Jin army was defeated by the Yan army. ”

"Don't worry, the king of the Jin army, the chief general Wang Meng has already said that the 80,000 army under his command is comparable to the 800,000 Yan army, although it is too exaggerated, but it should not be a problem to defeat the nearly 200,000 tired Yan army." Fuyeo courtiers comforted.

King Buyeo nodded, and said softly: "If this is the case, this king will be relieved, but today's defense of the city is extremely crucial, and we must defend the city with all our might, and we must not let the Yan army break through the city." ”

"The king can rest assured that the whole army and the people of the city are ready to defend and will definitely be able to hold it." A Buyeo general looked extremely confident.

"Woo woo woo ......" At this moment, the horn of the Yan army attacking the city was heard in the distance.

King Buyeo looked up and saw that around the dazzling snow, a black army and horses were slowly approaching, and a large number of siege vehicles up to several zhang high were particularly conspicuous, and full of a terrifying murderous aura.

"King, the Yan army is about to attack the city, let's go down to the city and take shelter!" One of the courtiers reminded him.

King Fuyu thought for a while, waved his hand and said: "This king wants to stay to supervise the war, if you are afraid of death, you can go down!" ”

"King, the bow and arrow have no eyes, so let's go down to the city and hide! There are only a few generals here. A Buyeo general persuaded.

"Okay, don't talk about it anymore, this king has made up his mind, and he will personally stay in the city to supervise the battle, and any of you who are afraid of death will go down!" King Buyeo looked at several courtiers and said softly.

When the courtiers saw that the king of Buyeo wanted to stay to supervise the war, they naturally did not leave, so they all stayed at the city gate.

In fact, supervising the battle on the city gate tower, there are a large number of personal guards, there will not be much danger at all, but there is a certain degree of danger, there is not much threat to the life of the king of Buyeo, and the reason why the king of Buyeo wants to stay in the city gate tower to supervise the battle is completely to let the soldiers and people who defend the city see his existence, so as to enhance the determination to defend the city, so that the city can be better defended, at the same time, staying in the palace and waiting for the report of the courtiers is an extremely anxious thing, he wants to know the latest situation ahead for the first time, If you personally supervise the battle at the city gate, you can see the latest situation of the attack and defense of the city, and the provincial people are anxiously waiting for news in the palace.

Soon, the army of Yan Kingdom arrived at the foot of the Buyeo King City. And erected all kinds of siege equipment, launched a fierce attack on the Buyeo royal city.

When a large amount of ice was thrown at the head of Buyeo City, the king of Buyeo saw many people and soldiers injured by the ice, and he couldn't help but be angry. A small ice cube can actually become a sharp weapon for the Yan army to attack the city, but they did not use this sharp weapon for the rest of the soldiers and horses, which made him quite unhappy.

King Buyeo felt that since the Yan army could take advantage of the cold weather to create a sharp weapon for siege. Why can't they help the rest of the people? Moreover, the materials in the city are limited, in order to defend the city and increase the supply of rolling wood and stones, many people's houses have been demolished, and a large number of rolling wood and stones are thrown outside the city, forming a certain height under the city wall, which invisibly makes the city wall a little shorter, which is not conducive to defense. Then all the problems are solved.

At this time, the weather in the vicinity of Buyeo Castle was very cold, and the cold water in the well froze in a short period of time, so it was very easy to make ice cubes that were the right size to defend the castle.

King Buyeo looked at a courtier and said, "Do you see the ice cube next to it?" ”

"See, King." The courtier replied suspiciously.

"Since the army of the Yan Kingdom can use ice to attack the city, why can't our army use ice to counterattack." King Buyeo roared angrily.

"Great King, most of the ice blocks were shattered after falling into the city wall, and the broken ice that was too small could not effectively kill the besieging soldiers and horses of the Yan army." The courtier hurriedly said.

King Buyeo waved his hand. Zhengse said: "These ice cubes, we can make them ourselves, such a good weapon to defend the city, why can the people of Yan Kingdom think of it." And you can't think of it? ”

The courtier was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "The weather is cold, the dripping water is frozen, and it is indeed a very good idea to replace the stone with ice, the king is wise!" After speaking, his face was happy.

King Buyeo listened to the sycophants of his courtiers. He couldn't help but be proud of his cleverness, and waved his hand, and ordered: "You immediately organize some of the people who carry the rolling wood and stones, let them go to the nearby well to draw water, and use buckets and other objects to make ice cubes of suitable size, and transport them to the city as soon as they are ready." ”

"Yes, my lord, Weichen will do it." The courtier happily received the order.

After taking this errand, he could avoid the risk of standing on the city wall, and the courtiers were naturally very excited.

The siege of the Yan army was really becoming more and more fierce, and the first attack used more than 10,000 soldiers and horses and most of the siege equipment, and there was a great momentum to break through the defense of Buyeo in one fell swoop.

However, under the personal supervision of the king of Buyeo, the Buyeo army repelled the attacking Yan army and made a good start, however, the second round of attacks of the Jin army followed, and did not give the Buyeo army a chance to breathe.

At this time, the people of Buyeo have already transported a large amount of ice to the city, these ice cubes are very simple to prepare, much more convenient than demolishing houses and houses, and there is no damage to the city, once adopted, it has been supported by the people, many people who originally planned to grit their teeth and demolish the house stopped demolishing the house, and began to draw water from the well, make ice cubes at home, and hand over the ice cubes to the people who drive, so that they can transport the ice cubes to the city, so as to facilitate the defenders to defend the city.

The Yan army soon attacked in front of the Buyeo city wall, and set up a large number of ladders, and many Yan soldiers with swords and shields shouted to climb the ladders and attack the head of Buyeo City.

"Smash it with ice cubes, smash all the ice cubes at Yan Jun, and teach Yan Jun a hard lesson." With enough ice cubes to defend the city, the Buyeo generals who were responsible for defending the city also became extravagant, and they didn't have the slightest sense of economy.

Hearing the order, the soldiers of Fuyu picked up the ice that had been prepared, and threw it at the Yan soldiers who were climbing, although there was a shield to protect themselves, but this could only block the bow and crossbow arrows, but could not resist the ice, under the huge impact of the ice, a large number of Yan saber and shield soldiers fell from the ladder, and fell and killed a lot, a large number of ice blocks were thrown down, and the Yan soldiers who surrounded the ladder were injured a lot, and many soldiers were directly hit in the head, so that they died.

Murong Ke, who was standing in the distance and commanding the battle, was suddenly shocked by the scene in front of him, the Fuyu soldiers threw a large amount of ice, crushing the attacking Yan soldiers to death, and causing very big damage to the Yan army, and this was a situation he did not expect, which surprised him.

"General, the Buyeo soldiers and horses suddenly threw ice blocks on a large scale, causing great casualties to our army, this wave of soldiers and horses is afraid that they will not be able to attack the city wall, in order to avoid greater casualties, it is better to withdraw as soon as possible!" A Yan army general looked at the scene in front of him and clenched his fists and suggested.

Murong Ke nodded and agreed to the general's suggestion.

Soon, the Yan army gave the order to retreat, and the second wave of siege soldiers and horses retreated like a tide with scars all over their bodies, and entered a rest in the direction of the big camp.

In this round of attack, tens of thousands of troops of Yan State suffered huge losses, and 5,000 soldiers never returned, and most of the returning soldiers were wounded, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

The Yan army suddenly suffered such huge casualties, which naturally attracted the great attention of Murong Jun, the king of Yan, who personally walked out of the big tent to inspect the troops that had just returned, and asked them why they had suffered such huge losses.

When he learned that the Buyeo soldiers used a massive rain of ice cubes to throw downward, he couldn't help frowning, the weather was extremely cold at this time, as long as there was a well in the Buyeo Royal City, a large number of ice cubes could be produced continuously, and this was too much of a threat to the besieging Yan army.

However, no matter how much the ice in Buyeo posed to the Yan army, they had to break through the Buyeo royal city as soon as possible, and only by breaking through the Buyeo royal city as soon as possible could they thwart the Jin army's attempts and implement the strategic plan to annex Buyeo.

Seeing that the Yan Army's ice cube actually had such a huge power, Murong Ke knew that the original siege strategy would definitely not work, so he had to think about the next siege strategy in order to successfully break through the Fuyu Royal City.

Just when Murong Ke was thinking about how to quickly break through the Fuyu Royal City, more than ten miles north of the Yan army's camp, the 100,000 cavalry of Zhang Hao's army were already watching their every move, but the Yan soldiers were unaware of it.

"General, the Yan army has launched two consecutive rounds of attacks, but all of them have been blocked by the Buyeo soldiers, especially the second attack, and the Yan army has suffered great losses." A scout arrived on horseback and immediately reported. (To be continued.) )
