Section 1231 Siege to the death

 The battle didn't last long, that is, it ended in more than half a day, of course, to be able to end the battle so quickly mainly thanks to the two city lords, after opening the city gate and letting the dungeon army come in, the two city lords led their guards to join the dungeon army and the soldiers defending the city had a fierce battle, in the battle, the two city lords kept persuading their original subordinates to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, with the reputation of the emperor of the Xuanwu Empire father and son and a series of previous actions, many middle and low-level generals have long been anti-minded, and now the city lord takes the lead in rebellion, of course, they will not die to guard the current emperor, and the result is all the way, there were not many real battles, and they were basically directly surrendered under the persuasion of the two city lords!

The final battlefield was in the City Lord's Mansion, when the two city lords came to the City Lord's Mansion with a large army, the dozen or so supervisors were fighting fiercely with their own personal guards of more than 3,000 people and Long Tianci and others, although the doors and windows of the City Lord's Mansion were closed, but they were not as strong as the city wall gates, and they were quickly breached, fortunately, Long Tianci let the families of the two city lords hide in the basement, and he took his men to fight with these more than 3,000 people, although they may not be able to win in the face of more than 3,000 people, but their purpose is only to drag the enemy, it doesn't matter if they can win or not!

Just like Long Tianci's calculations, it only took more than an hour for them to fight with the local army, and the army arrived, and then under the crushing attack of the army, those prison generals and their personal guards were all killed, and the strategic battle of Boundary Monument City was officially over!

When the news of the capture of Jiebei City reached the Xuanwu Imperial Palace, the old emperor was stupid, he never imagined that things would turn out like this! To be honest, he didn't expect the Boundary Monument City to be able to block the enemy army, but at least it should be able to hold out for ten days and a half months, and at that time, the situation will be reversed as soon as the reinforcements from the Xuanwu Empire and the Vermilion Bird Empire arrive, but who would have thought that this support would be defeated without holding on for two days, the Boundary Monument City is the gateway to the imperial capital, and now that the Boundary Monument City is gone, there is no longer a barrier between the imperial capital and the dungeon army!

Long Tianci and they were also worried that the Vermilion Bird Empire and the Xuanwu Empire would interfere in this matter again, so they had to end this war before the reinforcements of these two empires arrived, so after capturing the Boundary Monument City, the army only rested for two days before moving towards the imperial capital again, and now the obstacles between them and the imperial capital have all been cleared, so the army actually arrived at the imperial capital at noon on the third day!

The former magnificent imperial capital of the Xuanwu Empire, Long Tianci and others frowned, although Long Tianci had been here, but he had not carefully studied this city, and the one who knew this place best was actually Ge Ye, the former marshal of the empire, under Ge Ye's introduction, Long Tianci and Cao Youyi finally knew the overall layout of the Xuanwu Imperial Capital!

The shape of the Xuanwu Imperial Capital is actually like a huge turtle shell, the oval imperial capital has four gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest like other cities, and the city is divided into thirty-five areas, except for the core imperial city and the surrounding aristocratic districts, which are basically all ordinary houses, these thirty-five areas divide the imperial capital into thirty-five parts, from a high place like a huge pattern on the back of a turtle!

According to Ge Ye's words, the Xuanwu Emperor is impossible to be captured, the city's city wall is not like the general city wall is built with square or long shaped boulders, but with hexagonal boulders, because there are many cross-sections, each boulder has six boulders connected and fixed, the degree of stability is stronger than the general city wall more than a little bit, Ge Ye said that with the strength of the city wall of the Xuanwu Emperor's capital, even if a thousand catapults are used to bombard the wall 24 hours a day, it is impossible to collapse the wall. .

It is impossible to destroy the city wall, Long Tianci asked how much is the feasibility of climbing the wall to the top of the battle, and Long Tianci was denied by Ge Ye as soon as he said this, Ge Ye told him that because the structure of the city bricks is very special, the surface of the wall is not actually flat, and the death of a convex arc, such an arc has caused great difficulties in building siege ladders and hanging locks, especially siege ladders, which cannot stand up in front of this kind of arc city wall!

The enemy is far away, and the grandson hates the ship

Hearing this, Long Tianci had the heart to cry, who the hell designed the city wall? It's too perverted, that is to say, the conventional siege routine is useless to this city wall, so how to fight this battle?

The enemy hated Sun from afar, and he led the army back to the camp from the noisy post, Long Tianci always felt very awkward in his heart, what kind of idea was the enemy army fighting? Even if it is a blind man, it is impossible for the imperial army to win the dungeon army in a head-on conflict, but the prince just led the troops out, could this guy have any conspiracy?

The three of them discussed for a long time, and finally agreed that they could not attack strongly, and could only take the method of besieging the city to consume the enemy, but with the amount of material reserves in the imperial capital, even if the siege was in a short period of time, it would be impossible to attack the Xuanwu Imperial Capital.

In order to be able to find a breakthrough, Long Tianci personally took a few personal soldiers around the imperial capital, trying to find a useful breakthrough, but unfortunately the city was simply an iron bucket, and there was no breakthrough point at all.

Just when Long Tianci was worried about how to break through the city wall, the imperial army unexpectedly opened the city to meet them, and it was the prince who led the troops, Long Tianci and the others were stunned as soon as they gave up their stubborn defense and took the initiative to come out to meet the battle, what the hell is going on? Could it be that the other party is tired of living?

But whether you can figure it out or not, it's always a good thing for the other party to come out, and it's best to weaken the enemy's living forces here, so that it can also create opportunities for future siege battles!

The two sides lined up on the plain in front of the imperial capital, and the imperial capital dispatched 100,000 troops, and Long Tianci also sent 100,000 troops to confront the enemy, and he personally led the troops to fight!

After the end of the two people's formations, there was no nonsense at all, and they directly began to meet each other, the war was extremely tragic, both sides did not play any tricks, it was completely hard-hitting, the battle was fought from morning to night, and finally the prince was not Long Tianci's opponent and retreated back to the city, and Long Tianci led a large team of men and horses to chase down the city, but unfortunately the bow and arrow on the city stopped Long Tianci and others, otherwise Long Tianci might really follow the prince into the city!

Leading the army back to the camp, Long Tianci always felt very awkward in his heart, what is the idea of the enemy army? Even a blind man can be a sluggish imperial army It is impossible to win the dungeon army in a head-on conflict, but the prince just led the troops out, could this guy have any conspiracy?

But when the war started, I didn't find anything abnormal? Could it be that I thought too much? The prince just had the courage to come out and find abuse?

With doubts, Long Tianci went to Cao Youyi and Ge Ye to discuss, as soon as he entered the Chinese army's big tent, the soldiers were reporting something to Cao Youyi and Ge Ye, Long Tianci walked over, and was stunned when he inquired, because the content of the soldier's report turned out to be that when he was fighting with the prince's army, there was a death squad of more than 100 people who took advantage of the chaos to rush out of the encirclement.

It was only at this time that Long Tianci realized what the prince was fighting for when he led his troops out, this guy was just fighting under a pretense, and the purpose was to send reinforcements, and the destination of this army could be known without thinking about it, and the two empires of Suzaku and Qinglong would be known.
