Sweep the World

Chapter 182: : Unravel the puzzle

The intensity of the wars conducted by the Han Dynasty cannot be considered high. The scale of the battles is mostly in the thousands, and it is rare that it is tens of thousands.

There are thirty thousand defenders in Duchang City? In that case, this battle of Duchang should be the most difficult time for the Han Dynasty to face the enemy.

Liu Yan was originally excited and full of anticipation, but when he learned that the enemy had engaged in internal strife, he didn't know why the passion dissipated.

On the third day after arriving in Duchang City, the drappers continuously bombarded a city wall. With the sound of collapse, watching the hurriedly repaired city wall tilt and fall, what you noticed is that you saw some silly wood?

Yes, there is wood in the dumped city wall! It seems to be some pillars or beams, and even door panels can be seen.

"Hollow?" Liu Yan was stunned for a moment: "It took three days to hit it?"

In Shijie, Zhao Guo didn't pay attention to urban defense. It is estimated that it has become a kind of "pop". It is really rare to see cities that attach importance to urban defense.

When Liu Yan led his army to Duchang City, he was still feeling emotional, saying that the city's guard was finally thinking about something, and he also asked if the Jin people were the guards.

What is happening now? There is actually a hollow section of the city wall!

"Disperse the boom!" Liu Yan said with a weird look: "Look for a newer place, and get it right."

The result was rather embarrassing. Those walls that looked quite new were basically just looking good. It took them three days before they realized that there was such a situation.

After the east city wall was bombed, several other city walls also went to bombard each other in turn. In less than seven days, Duchang City had become a city with loopholes in defense.

"It's not right, it's very wrong!" Lu Yi frowned and said, "For seven days, the defenders have not made any counterattacks!"

Duchang City was surrounded by Liu Yan’s order in accordance with the old tradition of encircling three and one. The east side is the main direction of attack. The remaining two sides are mostly fortifications and trench digging.

"There are really thirty thousand defenders in the city?" Li Kuang is a military prince and can participate in the main meeting. After listening carefully for a long time, he found that the meeting was not as high-end as he thought, and it seemed a bit... how to say it. ? Just dull.

Lu Yi's eyes lit up when he heard it: "Yes...Is there really 30,000 defenders in the city?"

The chief officer of the scout camp started sweating on his forehead as soon as he heard it. He stood up and saluted, and said: "The job is guaranteed by life, and the defenders in the city will never leave the city after shrinking!"

"Is it right to smoke in the city?" Liu Yan motioned to the chief officer of the scout camp to sit down, and said: "I see a lot of smoke every day. Has anyone noticed the time of smoke?"

How long does it take to cook a meal, and then how long should the smoke be. This is not difficult to distinguish with experience, but before, I only paid attention to the amount of smoke, and did not pay attention to the time when the smoke existed.

"The Lord meant..." Lu Yi's eyes widened: "Is there no food in the city?"

It seems that there is only one explanation that makes sense, that is, cooking smoke and other things are completely bluffing. The morale of the defenders in the city is extremely low due to lack of food.

Don't say anything, Liu Yan decided to attack tomorrow.

The next day, the Han military camp located in the east of Duchang City became busier than usual, and even the smoke of cooking rose earlier than usual. Anyone with experience should know that the contact war is today.

Amidst the roar of war drums, the barracks gate after the meal opened wide, and an incomparably neat stepping sounded first. Teams of soldiers walked out from the gate and went straight to the Duchang Wall’s bow and arrow to set up their army.

There was still no reaction on the walls of Duchang City, giving people a strange feeling penetrated into the bones.

"..." Liu Yan, who personally supervised the battle, kept frowning and assumed a siege posture. Duchang's defenders still looked like this, so why did they cautiously bombard the catapult for so many days first?

All the participating troops that should be in place are in place, and there are finally more figures on the city wall, just looking at something that is still wrong.

"People...a little bit?" Lu Yi obviously didn't understand the situation at all: "How many waves do you shoot first?"

Liu Yan nodded and ordered: "Three rounds of bed crossbow and six rounds of bow."

Naturally, someone will convey Liu Yan's order, which is conveyed in semaphore, and then the drum of war will be sounded.

Pieces of sour bowstring humming began to appear with the sound of clappers. The arrow formation composed of archers raised a dark cloud on the ground, making a sharp breaking sound and pounced on the city wall. In an instant, the arrowheads and objects The crashing sound began.

"It's really not right. The defender's bow and arrow strike back is too low." Liu Yan looked at the city head with his eyes: "The number of people has not increased."

It took about half a quarter of an hour to complete the firing of the long-range weapon. Liu Yan ordered the tribe to advance armed, and they would enter through the gaps in the collapsed city walls.

Liu Yan has been looking at the map in his mind all the time. It is almost the same as usual that the number of red dots is not small, but the activity of those "red dots" is too low.

The tribal armed forces as the vanguard have poured in from several gaps in the city wall, and resistance from the Duchang garrison appeared. It was intercepted by soldiers without uniform uniforms.

Judging from the map in Liu Yan's mind, "red dots" have also appeared in the city, and the number seems to be normal.

"The enemy has a stronger will to resist." Liu Yan looked at Lu Yi, and said: "Will they understand that it is difficult to defend against the damaged city wall and plan to fight us in the city?"

Lu Yi was blinking his eyes and thought: "Street fighting? Is it fighting in the city regardless of the wall?"

This is the generation gap brought about by the times. In terms of cold weapon thinking, the general situation is to conduct a city wall defense battle. Once the city wall is lost, it is equal to the city's failure. The control of the city is equivalent to the collapse of the city?

Without seeing it with his own eyes, of course Liu Yan couldn’t really know what was going on in the city. He could only roughly see from the map in his mind that under the attack of the system soldiers, the defenders just persisted for less than five minutes and they collapsed... It just fell apart!

"Let the second batch of troops attack!"

The huge drums of war were struck again, and Li Kuang took a deep breath and led the troops into the city from the gap. At a glance, he saw that the ground was full of all kinds of people, and weirdly found some weird corpses on the corner of the city at the gap.

how to say? Those corpses are not new, and they should have been dead for a while, but the number is not small.

Entering the city, it seemed like entering a huge grave pile, a rancid odor that couldn't be ignored, and it made people want to bend over and vomit when they smelled it.

In an instant, many people in the second batch of siege troops changed their faces. They were too familiar with the smell. The corpses that no one had collected without data would have such a strong smell of corpses after a long time. Usually, if there is such a smell of corpse, it means that various diseases are spreading, and it is extremely likely that there will be a contagious plague.

"Wh, what!?" Liu Yan exploded as soon as he heard: "Plague?"

In Duchangcheng, it seems that everything unreasonable has begun to become reasonable? That is the spread of disease!

"Your Majesty, withdraw troops, withdraw troops immediately!" Lu Yi's face turned blue: "The offensive troops need to be quarantined, all quarantined!"

Li Kuang followed his face and turned blue. If he was isolated, he would definitely count as one. He is someone who has seen what quarantine is about. Whether he is sick or not, as long as he is quarantined, there is almost no possibility of surviving.

"No, it's seriously wrong!" Liu Yan didn't say anything. He checked the map in his mind weirdly. As more troops attacked and dispersed, the active enemies in the city were not too few, not at all. It looks like a city with a plague. He asked: "Are there prisoners of war?"

Lu Yi tried his best to stabilize, and advised: "My lord, there are only three thousand tribal armed forces and one thousand soldiers in isolation. If it is late, I am afraid..."

"There are prisoners of war, there are prisoners of war!" Li Kuang looked so excited, he didn't care about Lu Yi's history as a marching army, knowing that being isolated would be dead, and he didn't even want to rush out.

Liu Yan's face was full of frost, and he raised his hand to stop Lu Yi from talking down, indicating that he needed to be quiet.

Isolation is of course to be isolated. The loss of the 3,000 system soldiers does not matter. That is, the 1,000 soldiers will make Liu Yan distressed for a long time. What he felt heavy was that there was originally no population on Shan 1 East Peninsula. Once the epidemic broke out again, what if the Han tribe captured Qingzhou, was it just to occupy a no-man’s land?

The prisoners of war were of course not brought here. Li Kuang came to report after interrogation himself. He almost cursed and swears, righteously and solemnly telling Liu Yan that there was no plague in Duchangcheng, but...

"Have had internal strife four times?" Liu Yan had to froze: "So many?"

The prisoners of war were still brought here, but they were brought over after scrubbing and the skin was rotten. They put on shameful clothing.

According to the prisoner’s own confession~www.wuxiamtl.com~, he is considered to be a bit of identity. He is the leader of the defending army at a level similar to that of the military. When asked why there were so many infighting, he said: “It was originally for The official posts held by Beihai County are behind for food."

Liu Yan and Lu Yi looked at each other for a while: "..."

In short, Shi Jie Zhao’s weird political regime made those people a fight between the weak and the strong, intending to win a real boss, but when they were fighting, they burned most of the grain and made it a part of the current strong. The forces in China have a large amount of food, and the other part is extremely short of food. They stopped fighting until the Han army pressed the border, but the situation of the same situation has long been unable to change.

In the case of the case, Liu Yan should be very happy to encounter such an opponent who can still fight in a state of war, but he really feels speechless for a while.

"We are too weak and no one takes us seriously?" Liu Yan was extremely gloomy: "Is that so? It must be like this!?" (to be continued)).
