Chapter 536: His Majesty has arrived, changing tactics!
Outside Yumi City, fighting was raging.

The Wei army surged in like a tide, vowing to capture the city.

However, after careful observation, it was discovered that the Wei army attacking the city was not an elite division, but a number of civilian soldiers.

Although these civilian soldiers were numerous in number, they lacked formal military training, and their movements appeared clumsy and uncoordinated.

Despite this, they still devoted all their efforts to the siege, either pushing huge crash carts, carrying ladders, or operating trebuchets.

The Wei army used various siege equipment, and huge ramming vehicles rumbled against the city wall. Every impact made the city wall tremble, as if it was about to collapse.

The ladders were set up on the city wall, and the people climbed up bravely, trying to break through the defense line of the city wall.

Trebuchets continued to hurl boulders into the city, each boulder powerful enough to destroy a house.

However, the defenders of Yumi City were not just ordinary people.

Ma Dai Wang Pingping's troops relied on their strong city walls to resist the Wei army's attacks time and time again.

Arrows rained down from the city wall, causing heavy losses to the civilians who attacked the city.

By the afternoon, both Ma Dai and Wang Ping were a little confused.

What is Wei Jun doing?
to death?

Normally when attacking a city, cannon fodder is used first, followed by elite troops. It is impossible to attack a city with cannon fodder.

But since the fifth watch of the day, the Wei army has not used its elite troops to attack the city, and has been filling the line with the lives of civilians and warriors.

Is this because there are too many people to eat, and there are not enough people in the army. Want to use up some people to eat?

Isn’t the life of a civilian husband no longer life?
If this continues, the morale of the Wei army may collapse.

This doesn't make sense.

And
When the Wei army attacked the city, they only attacked Yumi City. They did not send troops to attack the other three forts, not even to intercept them.

This morning, the three fortresses sent out elite troops to support Yumi and dispersed the Wei army's several siege echelons.

The Wei army suffered heavy casualties, and then they belatedly sent people to stop the Han army in Sanbao Village. Therefore, they could not continue to attack the city until the afternoon.

However, it is difficult for these Wei troops to attack the city and put pressure on Yumi City.

Ma Dai had a very ridiculous feeling in his heart.

"The person commanding the siege on the other side seems to be a novice and has no rules at all."

Wang Ping shook his head and said: "The people who commanded knew the troops well, but this attack on the city was like a sudden order, with no preparation at all. The Wei army felt like it was in a hurry. "

Siege also requires training.

Just like the military exercises of later generations, in this era, there are also martial arts.

But these Wei troops attacking the city were very strange, as if they were allowed to kill more and feel more comfortable.

"It's very wrong, nine out of ten times it's wrong!"

Wang Ping's expression became serious when he thought about what happened next.

"The person commanding the siege on the other side is definitely not Cao Zhen. So where did Cao Zhen go?"

Just when the two of them were puzzled, someone from behind stepped forward to report.

It's Ma Cheng.

"Something bad has happened. Uncle, General Wang, Yong County has been captured by the Wei army!"

Ma Cheng came forward panting, with an anxious look on his face.

"what?"

Ma Dai was stunned for a moment, thinking he had heard wrongly.

"Tell me again, what happened to Yong County?"

Ma Cheng had no choice but to say: "Uncle, Yong County was captured by the Wei army."

Yong County was captured by the Wei army?

Where did the Wei army come from?
Ma Dai was shocked, and his mind was filled with thoughts.

Yong County has been breached, what to do with the Yumi line of defense?
In Yumi City, there is only a month's supply of food and grass, and the same is true in all the forts. If they cannot pull out Yongxian County within a month, won't they become an isolated city, dragging them until they run out of food, and will they be dead?
How could this be?
"Where did Wei Jun come from? Is this news true? Could it be spread by Wei Jun?"

"Uncle, Yongxian County has been captured. This news is absolutely true. It couldn't be more true. Hundreds of soldiers and civilians have escaped from Yongxian County. There is also news that my nephew has not made it clear to his uncle. General Liu Feng Li died in battle and sacrificed his life for the country.”

"This" Ma Dai was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Liu Feng is dead?

Yong County was captured by the Wei army.

Is it still necessary to defend the Yumi line of defense?
"General Ma, there is no need to worry. Cao Zhen attacked the city by surprise, and his troops are bound to be small. We can capture the city before he can gain a foothold, and the crisis will be relieved." Wang Ping's eyes flickered. Faced with the crisis, he He was not timid, but instead geared up and prepared to make unparalleled military exploits.

Ma Dai's face showed embarrassment.

"There are no soldiers in Yumi City. I will give you at most two thousand men. Can General Wang be sure?"

Two thousand people?
How to capture Yong County?
But Wang Ping also knew in his heart that Ma Dai's two thousand men was already the limit of Yumi City.

Once two thousand people are taken, there will be only a thousand or so people left to defend the city. If we take more, will Yumi still defend it?

After thinking for a long time, Wang Ping nodded solemnly.

"Two thousand soldiers, maybe give it a try!"

"Well!"

Ma Dai seemed to have made up his mind and said to Wang Ping: "I'll give you two thousand men and horses, Ma Cheng. You can follow General Wang to attack Yong County and relieve the danger of my elbows and armpits!"

"promise!"

Immediately, Wang Ping and Ma Cheng ordered two thousand men and horses in the city, opened the north gate of Yumi, and rushed towards Yong County.

Right Fufeng.

Wugong County.

Liu Chan had just been received by Su Ze and visited the Su family's garden in Wugong City.

Of course, I also saw a few dignified and beautiful Su women along the way.

Wu Gong Su didn't want to wait for the draft, but wanted to get things done directly.

But Liu Chan, who had been emptied by the beauties in Chang'an, had no such thoughts at all now, which made Su Ze very depressed.

"There is no need to send the captain far away. I am sending my troops here first to fully prepare for the Western Expedition. When the frontline army, food and baggage are ready, I will definitely use the veteran general."

Su Ze sighed and said, "The final general is waiting for His Majesty to recruit him."

Several of my granddaughters have been hanging out in front of His Majesty, but His Majesty is not moved.
Are the rumors true?
Su Ze looked suspicious.

My second daughter-in-law is stunningly beautiful. If it is for the sake of the family, it is not impossible to send her to the palace.
Su Ze was thinking wildly, but Liu Chan took the first step with his cavalry.

When they arrived at Xi County, Liu Chan quickly learned the news about Yong County.

"Everyone, what do you think of this news?"

Yong County was defeated and Liu Feng died in battle.

Every piece of news is very unfavorable to Han.

But Liu Chan's energy-raising skills were not bad, and his expression remained unchanged at this moment.

"Your Majesty, the city of Yong County is strong and there are enough grain, grass and weapons in the city. I'm afraid it will be difficult to attack it by force. Besides, we are cavalry."

Liu Chan snorted coldly and said, "Who said we are going to attack Yong County?"

The defeat of Yongxian County was indeed unexpected by Liu Chan, but he never followed the routine when marching and fighting.

If we go to attack Yong County, wouldn't we fall into Cao Zhen's trick?

"Our ten thousand cavalry troops will march out of Yumi, attack the Wei army's camp, and capture Long Pass!"

"what?"

Zhang Bao was stunned.

"Your Majesty, do you think Yong County just doesn't care?"

"If we go deep into the city alone, what's the use of having more food and equipment in the city? We ordered Mengda to send troops from Chencang to surround Yong County so that Cao Zhen can't get out. We will lead the army and take advantage of the Wei army's camp without an owner. Break through the Wei army camp as quickly as possible, capture Longguan, and conquer Longxi!"

You, Cao Zhen, won’t play your cards according to common sense, will you?
very good!

Then I, Liu Gongsi, will show off my cards. I won’t pretend anymore, and I won’t act according to common sense!
