Water Margin people

"The water has receded after all!"

Sun Lei looked at the Yellow River that was gradually calming down and sighed. The Yellow River is divided into east and north channels. The east channel is not the main river channel. Now that the summer floods have passed and the autumn floods are still early, the river water going south is gradually decreasing.

"Your Majesty, the enemies in Hedong have retreated to Xixia territory, and Wanyanchang in Yuzhou is still defending."

Reported by Xiao Jiasui.

"Well, let Lin Chong seize the time and defeat Weizhou as soon as possible!"

Sun Lei nodded and said, it's time for the war to last for so long.

"Privy Master Lu is currently stationed in the state to defend the state and is confronting the Song army."

Xiao Jiasui spoke again.

"Is there any news from Tokyo?"

Sun Lei nodded, now is not the time to cross the river and attack Tokyo.

"The war situation in various places has been reported to Tokyo. According to the news from Shi Qian, the newly stable Tokyo is in chaos again. It is estimated that as soon as the flood recedes and the city gate opens, the people in the city will flee in large numbers."

Xiao Jiasui replied.

"Well, by then, Tokyo will become an empty city!"

Sun Lei smiled and said, although the flood siege did not really submerge Tokyo, hundreds of miles outside Tokyo were affected by the disaster, and the displaced people were all accepted by Qi State. Now there are not many people within a hundred miles outside Tokyo. When Tokyo Once the residents in the city fled, Tokyo would collapse.

"Those people in Tokyo are smart but they are fooled by their cleverness!"

Xiao Jiasui said with a smile, Tong Guan acquiesced to Du Chong's digging of the Yellow River. Liangshan suffered no losses, but Tokyo did suffer heavy losses. People in the city may not know the situation outside the city now.

……

Yuzhou City.

"Cannon forward!"

Lin Chong gave an order, the artillery was pushed forward, and the artillery fire instantly covered Yuzhou City.

"fight back!"

Wan Yanchang shouted, they also had equipment, and the trebuchet also started to fight back.

There are quite a few trebuchets on the city. Although their range is not as good as that of artillery, they can make up for it by being high up.

"A layer of the city wall has been shaved off, but the enemy is still stubbornly resisting!"

Yuan Lang frowned as he looked at the Weizhou City in front of him. This time the enemy's resistance was more determined than before.

"It doesn't matter, the logistics have brought some gunpowder, which is enough to raze this Yuzhou City to the ground!"

Gongsun Sheng said with a smile, Yuzhou is backed by mountains, and the city is built on the mountains. It is as dangerous as a fortress. If it is attacked by force, the casualties will definitely be high.

"How long will it take to fight? This city is made of mountains and rocks!"

Li Kui muttered, Yuzhou City is very hard. After being bombarded for several days, the result was only the top of the city.

"Tieniu, don't 70,000 to 80,000 people need to eat and drink in the city?"

Li Yan said with a smile, since it is a siege, we should not be anxious. The city is strong enough, but people have to eat grains, not iron.

"The enemy retreated to Yuzhou in a hurry. There won't be much food and grass in the city. The harder we fight, the greater the enemy's food and grass consumption will be."

Lin Chong smiled and said that the consumption of food and grass is regular, and the consumption of war is much higher than usual. They are wasting the enemy.

"Why don't I take them there to touch it at night?"

Suisheng said.

"This used to be too risky!"

Yuan Lang frowned.

"It's definitely not possible to go from the front, but it's different if you go from the back mountain. Even if you can't reach the city, you can still threaten Yuzhou City!"

Suisheng pointed to the vast mountains in the distance and said.

"Back Mountain? There are many enemies in the city, I'm afraid it won't be of much use!"

Lin Chong frowned and said, it is indeed a good idea to attack from the back mountain, but not many people can walk on this rugged mountain road, and if there are few people, it will not be effective. The enemy only needs a counterattack to deal with the sneak attack.

"I'm not going to attack the city, I just need to carry a few crossbows up there and burn some of the enemy's food and grass!"

"When I was free at noon just now, I went up there to observe Yuzhou City. I vaguely saw soldiers and ordnance in the north of the city, while the food and grass were all in the south of the city, which is close to the mountain!"

Sui Sheng pointed at Yuzhou City and said.

Due to the continuous bombing, the entire city of Weizhou was shrouded in gunpowder smoke. It looked foggy. A gust of wind happened to blow up when the two armies had a truce at noon today, blowing away the gunpowder smoke. Sui Sheng happened to see everything. "That's okay, brother Suisheng, be careful!"

Lin Chong thought for a moment and then agreed.

"I can go too! The more people we have here, the more strength we have!"

As soon as Li Kui heard that there was going to be a war, he immediately became interested and took up combat tasks.

"Tieniu, the fewer people there are, the better! Why are you bringing so many people?"

Gongsun Sheng said with a smile.

"We have strength! It's not hard to carry the bed crossbow!"

Li Kui raised his arms to show off his muscles.

Everyone laughed, but immediately they all touched their chins and looked around Li Kui.

"What are you doing? Are you looking at me no matter what you do?"

Li Kui suddenly became shy and unconsciously held his chest with his hands.

"Haha, this Tieniu still knows how to be shy."

Everyone laughed again.

"Tieniu, you are right this time. Your brute strength can be put to use!"

Lin Chong smiled and patted Li Kui on the shoulder.

"Li Kui, you are trapped in the camp and send a hundred manpower to follow Sui Sheng in a sneak attack! Your task is to carry the bed crossbow!"

Lin Chong looked at Li Kui and smiled.

"Good good!"

Li Kui didn't know the seriousness of the matter. He only knew that he would cheer loudly if he could go out to fight.

"You stupid cow!"

Bao Xu, Li Gun, and Xiang Chong were all so angry that they beat Li Kui, and they happily applauded him for being a coolie. It was really a shame to be trapped in the camp.

Soon, Sui Sheng ordered two hundred able-bodied soldiers. Li Kui also quickly picked out a hundred strong soldiers. After getting the equipment, Sui Sheng took the people and set off. He would rush to Yuzhou as soon as possible. Behind the city.

"is this okay?"

Li Yan looked at Li Kui in the distance and waved goodbye with a silly look on his face. He shook his head and said that he always felt that it was a bit unreliable for Li Kui to follow him.

"Don't worry, there won't be any trouble in Tieniu with You Wei Sheng!"

Lin Chong said with a smile that although Li Kui was unruly, Sui Sheng was just able to control him.

……

Yuzhou City.

The Jin army hid behind the bunker and continuously used trebuchets to counterattack.

"Capital, the enemy won't attack!"

Wanyan Zongwang looked at Wanyanchang and said, they defended Weizhou City in the hope that the enemy would attack, and then they took advantage of the city's favorable location to kill the enemy, but the enemy only bombarded the city and did not attack the city.

"I can't believe they have so many shells!"

Wan Yanchang gritted his teeth and said, he was betting that the enemy's shells were about to run out.

"How much gunpowder do we have here?"

Wanyanchang looked at Wanyanzongwang and asked.

"We have always used our gunpowder sparingly, and it can still last for two days!"

Wanyan Zongwang said, their gunpowder consumption was also very large. Although they were already very economical, they were still almost at the bottom after all.

"I brought so much gunpowder this time that I almost ran out of it."

Wan Yanchang's face was ugly. The gunpowder he brought this time was the entire Jin Kingdom's one-year reserve.

"Du Tong, it's just some gunpowder. Anyway, we have the formula and we can recreate any amount!"

Wanyan Zongwang opened his mouth and said.

"The battle must end within two days! The amount of gunpowder cannot be changed during these two days, and we cannot let the enemy know that we are short of gunpowder."

Wanyanchang reminded Wanyanzong Wangdao. (End of chapter)
