After Yan Chang finished speaking, he immediately returned to his military camp and summoned a group of soldiers over:

"Turkba, tell me about the situation in the vicinity, can you find ships and other things?"

A partial general suddenly stepped forward and bowed his head and said:

"Back to the general, along the way, Changge, Yanling, Xuchang villages and towns were not inhabited, there was no one in the villages and towns, and there were no grains and grasses, only empty houses. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Hatura, the surrounding water source can be detected. ”

"General Hui, the water sources in this vicinity are all unavailable, they are all poisoned with the same kind, the surrounding cities are all under control, our scouts have also been attacked by unknown people, and very few can come back. ”

Another general bowed his head and said.

But Wan Yanchang's face sank like water, and he didn't say a word, and after a while, a soldier hugged his fist outside the tent and said:

"General, news from the rear. ”

"Take it. ”

Wan Yanchang immediately frowned again, and then said in a deep voice.

The soldier who delivered the message immediately stepped forward respectfully and handed the letter to Wan Yanchang, who was shocked when he saw it.

Xu Tian Zanbu reported that the water source in Xu Tian was poisonous, and hundreds of soldiers were poisoned.

Labzon, a general who monitored Changge's movements by the river, also reported that hundreds of people had been poisoned.

After Yan Chang finished reading it, he immediately said angrily:

"Wow, what a Liu Renshan.

Jianqing Biye, Changge, Yanling, and Xuchang generations have no water source available, and there is no water source available for cooking fire.

Hmph, it's so ruthless!

The soldiers listened to the order, started broadcasting overnight, surrounded Xuchang on three sides, attacked overnight, climbed to the head of the city to reward thousands of households, promoted thousands of people, broke the enemy hundred, rewarded one hundred taels of gold, promoted to the first level, three women in the city, broke through the city gate, sealed thousands of households, and rewarded thousands of taels!

Kill Liu Renshan, seal 10,000 households, reward 10,000 taels, and 100 women can be selected in the city!

Hatura, you lead 10,000 people to attack the north gate, Turkba, you lead 10,000 people to attack the south gate, build siege equipment overnight, and give me a storm!

The rest of the people, Songdarab, Lu Gutuming, and Song Qizan, each led 5,000 iron horsemen distributed in the north, east, and south, and were on standby at any time!

The rest of the men dismounted and replenished the infantry lineup, followed me to the east gate, and stormed the east gate!

Tonight, we must take the city!"

"Yes, the last general commands!"

The generals replied with their fists clenched, then retired and immediately went to prepare.

Half an hour later, more than 70,000 golden soldiers and horses were in place, and thousands of iron horsemen stayed behind to take care of these poisoned soldiers.

This time, Wan Yanchang was also anxious, there was plenty of grain and grass, but the water source problem must be continuously transported from Kaifeng, and the road was long, although there were cavalry to open the way.

However, who knows if those Han people will go all the way up and poison the water sources above.

At that time, it was not possible to transport water from the Yellow River.

Originally, it was winter, and the cavalry could not be used in the city, and Xuchang was a strong city, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Wan Yanchang has no choice at the moment, time waits for no one, and the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to the soldiers of his own Jin Country.

Wan Yanchang only hoped that the soldiers on the city wall were all new recruits, and they had no combat effectiveness, and under such a fierce attack, they would be defeated in a short time.

And when Yan Chang came to the city, his heart continued to sink.

I saw that on the city wall, there were ten forts, arrow towers, bunkers, etc., and the tower shield soldiers were already in place.

Behind the tower shield soldiers must be the archers, above the central city tower, Liu Renshan is already sitting on top of the city tower, next to him are several guards and some tower shield soldiers, and there are also several large iron plates.

Wan Yanchang knew that once he sneaked attacked, these people could carry these big iron plates to resist, and the artillery fire would be useless.

What Wan Yanchang didn't expect was that on the top of the tower, a large bronze mirror was erected, and the copper mirror was surrounded by torches, so that the light shone through, illuminating the range of seven or eight miles ahead.

And three or four miles are deep trenches, how deep Yan Chang doesn't know, but the barbs, thistles, sharp knives and other things in it have already been arranged.

According to the deer and horses and other things, the moat is about 100 meters wide, the suspension bridge has been retracted, and the city wall has also been raised a lot, at first glance it is more than 20 meters high.

It is pitch black, with all kinds of hidden weapons and holes, thinking that the city wall is very strong, it is extremely insidious, and the distribution of holes is not dense, scattered, but I don't worry about a cannon to collapse the city wall.

And next to the fort, a large iron car moved, Wan Yanchang looked at the shape, and knew that it should be a ballista, and the range was as high as four or five miles.

And what Wan Yanchang didn't see, the back of the ballista on the city wall was pitch black, but there were already rows of catapults waiting.

As early as when Wan Yan Chang crossed the Qushui army, Liu Renshan already knew the purpose of Wan Yan Chang's visit.

It is rushing to Xuchang City, because as soon as Liu Renshan dies and the city is broken, then it will be a situation of powerlessness.

And Changge and Yanling Liu Renshan still have heavy troops, and they don't worry about these people breaking through the city, which is enough to defend for a few months.

And Jin Guo is famous for its iron cavalry, and there are really not many battles in a city like this, not to mention that Long Dashao's city defense construction drawings and Yiying's drawings of advanced tools and components for defending the city are already extremely obscene.

Originally, Long Dashao directly thought about getting some glass mirrors to come out as searchlights to guard the city, but thinking that these mirrors were too careless, they would be shot through at once.

It's better to use a bronze mirror, and the fire is a little brighter, then it will be refreshing.

As for the original defense of this city, Liu Renshan arranged 10,000 veterans and 20,000 elite soldiers, and the columns were already divided according to the formation.

Veterans lead recruits, and there are 10,000 elite soldiers in other cities, Zhang Tao and Yang Zhen have already photographed their 10,000 elite soldiers distributed in the north city gate and the south city gate, with 20,000 recruits respectively.

The remaining 10,000 people were at the west gate, by the waterway, 5,000 men defended the city, with 10,000 recruits, and many people were on standby in the city, but they were all armed to the teeth.

Liu Renshan deeply knew that his soldiers were not as good as the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom, and their combat experience was not very sufficient.

Therefore, in terms of equipment, Liu Renshan, Zhang Tao, and Yang Zhen have long exhausted the craftsmen and so on, and then built these things day and night.

Money, not a problem!

There's no way, the foundation is too shallow after all, so you can only use weapons to pile up, if this battle fails, then there is no need to fight anything at all.

The north must be controlled, and development must be based on foundation.

And Wan Yanchang looked stupid directly, why didn't he notice these before, oh, it was during the day, and Xuchang City used something like a big black curtain to cover the city, and at night, Wan Yanchang was directly stunned.

Nima, pit father, the city more than 20 meters high, isn't it 15 meters high, there are towers, moats, moats, you still have the inner city, do you dare not be so cheating father!

Wan Yanchang didn't expect that in just a short period of time, such a strong city would appear in the back garden of his Jin Kingdom.

In fact, it's no wonder that Yan Chang is finished.

Long before Wan Yan Chang arrived in Kaifeng, Liu Renshan and others agreed on how to target the generals of the Jin State, whether it was Wan Yan Chang or Wan Yan Wushu, it was within the scope of consideration of Liu Renshan and others.

The first thing is to rob everything that can be grabbed on Nanjing Road, and completely disrupt the situation in the north, and then Zhang Tao and Yang Zhen rebelled against the pseudo-Qi and launched Liu Renshan, and then Liu Renshan wiped out Yan Chang's 10,000 elite soldiers in a lightning flash.

Not only is it unaware, so that people can't find anything in a short time, but it also involves Wan Yan Chang's energy and makes Wan Yan Chang anxious.

Not only that, Liu Renshan and others had already agreed on it, and they had come up with a plan a few months ago to block the news in Xuchang, Yanling, and Changge during this period of time, and some suspicious people immediately took measures.

And he, Liu Renshan, just wanted to force Yan Chang to fight, and forced Jin Guo to fight, and he didn't give people time to prepare, and the grain and grass that Jin Guo prepared this time later.

Not only that, Liu Renshan also arranged for people to go to the north to promote the three cities, vaguely mentioning the height of the cities, but it was very exaggerated, and arranged for people to spread rumors and tell the impossibility of the news.

And Wan Yanchang also heard about the height of the city at first, but he didn't have enough energy to judge.

Moreover, Wan Yanchang also received an edict from the Jin State to take these three cities with a thunderous momentum, completely stabilize the situation in the north, and not give Yue Fei of the Southern Song Dynasty a chance.

As soon as Wanyanchang's army arrived, as soon as the scouts were sent out, they ushered in the bad news that the soldiers were poisoned and the water source was unavailable.

After this combination of punches, Wan Yanchang was also very helpless when he saw this such a strong city at this time.

Fight, must fight, and have to fight, now Wan Yanchang's advantage is that there are many people, and the soldiers are strong and strong.

Moreover, Wan Yanchang also decided that no matter how awesome he Liu Renshan was, he would definitely be defeated and invincible if he used the recruits he had trained for several months and the soldiers of pseudo-Qi to fight with him.

Wan Yanchang knew that even if he was at a disadvantage, he had to fight, and he had to fight hard, and he had to take the north.

Therefore, Wan Yanchang gave such an order, and the speed of the soldiers is the best way to break the situation at the moment.
