Chapter 94 Liu Xiaoniang, soldiers in Linyi Prefecture
The surrounding green mountains face the bright sunset and smile gently.
The perspective changes, on the distant peaks and in the near gorge, the sounds of mountain birds and wild monkeys are heard, and the eyes are closer and clear scenery.
"Ha, it's so interesting, what a good baby." Liu Yingying held up the telescope, having fun, and she burst into an amazement from time to time.
"Miss, it's time to go back for dinner." The maid reminded him.
"Wait for a while." Liu Yingying said impatiently, continuing to look out and play.
It was not until Liu Erzu sent someone to urge him that Liu Xiaozi put away the telescope and went back without any pleasure.
According to historical records, there was also the second ancestor of Liu, who was also called the thief. After the defeat, his daughter, Miss Liu, gathered tens of thousands of people, and was also destroyed by the Flower Hat Army.
Liu Yingying is the daughter of Liu Erzu, the female hero who took over his father's ambition and gathered tens of thousands of people. Although it was just a brief military command, it was also a shining light in history.
At the dinner table, Liu Yingying complained with some dissatisfaction, "This Meng, Meng Jiucheng, is so stingy, and only gives it to her father Qianlijing."
It's okay if you don't say this. As soon as you mention it, Liu Erzu remembered that his daughter moved his telescope. Although she was doting on her, she still lowered her face and scolded: "The object was coming from overseas and is very precious. Don't move it again in the future, so as not to be damaged."
Liu Yingying was not afraid, and curled her lips and said, "No matter how precious it is, it can be bought with money. Otherwise, why did he give it to Ambassador Cheng and General Peng? Dad, it doesn't matter if you don't give it to your daughter. Uncle Huo, isn't he as good as Ambassador Cheng and General Peng?"
"This—" Liu Erzu was stunned for a moment, thinking that his daughter was right. Huo Yi was his deputy, the second leader of the Red Coat Army, so why could he not be as good as his subordinates?
"I just don't know if Meng Jiucheng has this thousand-mile mirror in his hand?" Liu Erzu said hesitantly: "If not, we may want or buy it. Wouldn't it be a big deal for us to make people feel that we are insatiable?"
"Ask a tactful question, but I won't force him to steal his." Liu Yingying blinked and smiled, "Don't he and General Peng fight against Yizhou, why don't we send some people to help them fight, so that we can speak. Besides, aren't we still got a share of the spoils we get? It's just luck to come back!"
"It's still a little bit of a fight or not. It's probably inappropriate to mobilize troops." Liu Erzu thought for a while and said, "But you have some truths. If we don't send too many people, we will only have 1,500 and 600. It's enough to help the war."
"Then let the boy lead the team!" Liu Yingying seemed to be ready and immediately took over the conversation.
"No." Liu Erzu answered happily and glared at his daughter, "You stay honestly, girls are in every family, what do you mean?" As he said that, he pushed the bowls and chopsticks and got up and left.
Humph! Liu Yingying also pissed the bowl heavily in anger, but her eyes turned around and showed a sly smile.
…………………
Time passed quickly in full preparation.
By the agreed date, Meng Jiucheng had already dispatched troops and soldiers and prepared military funds. The army set out from Banquan Town and entered Yizhou westward.
The journey was very smooth. The 6,000 troops of Peng Yibin were joined by Peng Yibin in Tanghe Town. The troops of more than 10,000 people were rushing to the city of Yizhou.
The reaction of the Jin army was indeed expected. Seeing the enemy coming in full force, more than 2,000 defenders did not dare to go out of the city to fight, closed the city gates and stood for help.
When the coalition forces arrived at the city, they did not immediately divide their troops to unfold, but first dug trenches to block the city gate. They started from the east gate, the south gate, and then the west gate and the north gate. The troops were unfolded as they blocked, and did not give the Jin army the possibility of raiding a part of the city.
"The enemy's troops are very stable! If it is stable, it will be slow. If it is delayed, the food will be gone." Yizhou Tongzhi Defense Commander Pu Sansahe stood on the city tower, observing outside the city, commenting, and his face was not panicked.
Yizhou had experienced wars before, and the suburbs of villages and towns were repeatedly plundered by the Jin army and the rebels. Not only did the people flee, but there was no supply of supplies. Therefore, Pusan Sahe believed that although the enemy was coming in a fierce manner, it could not last long.
"Sir, wise." The staff member praised him, "The bandits left in a defeat last time, and they will be defeated this time."
Pusan Sahe nodded and smiled, saying, "The enemy is coming in a fierce manner, but I have certain rules. I am sorry that such a thief can't do anything to this strong city."
The Yizhou defense envoy Pusan Liu's family was dispatched to lead troops to suppress Yang An'er. There were only more than 2,000 defenders in the city. Pusan Sahe knew that there was more than enough defense but insufficient attack. As long as the city of Baozhou was not lost, it would be a great achievement. Therefore, Meng Jiucheng was a little worried, but not extra.
Not to mention that Pusan Sahe urged the soldiers and generals to be strictly guarded according to the law, let’s talk about Meng Jiucheng and Peng Yibin first.
After a day and a half, the army completed the blockade and set up camp outside the four gates of Yizhou City to focus on defense. There were also people and horses outside the city to garrison Yizhou into an iron barrel.
The engineer team also completed the survey and determined to excavate the tunnel from the north to carry out blasting. Meng Jiuzhen, who received the report, transported the ten large stone throwers he brought to the south of the city, arranged them in the circular blockade of the trench at the south gate, and sent troops to collect and transport stones everywhere, and began a feint attack before dusk.
A high edge of soil was piled up in front of the blockade of the trench, as well as the vast night, as well as sword and shield soldiers, providing good cover for the soldiers who operated the stone thrower.
Although there will be a bronze cannon with greater power and longer range in the future, Meng Jiucheng did not give up on the simple and easy-to-made weapon of the stone thrower. It just requires wood and carpenters, and the cost is low!
Even the stone throwing machine is a very advanced heavy weapon for Peng Yibin, Cheng Fu and others. Especially during bombardment, it was a very pleasant thing to watch the stones of fifty or sixty kilograms rise up in the air and smash towards the city tower and the city wall. The dust filled the dust and ashes filled the enemy screamed and exclaimed.
"This thing is very powerful!" Peng Yibin nodded repeatedly and said to Cheng Fu: "First kill the enemy, destroy the city defense, and then use cloud ladders to attack. The casualties will be much smaller. Are you sure to break through the city?"
Cheng Fu thought about it and shook his head without saying a word. He felt that if it were just like this, Meng Jiucheng would not show such strong self-confidence, but if he had to say something else, he could not think of it.
The Pusan Sahe in the city was also alarmed, thinking that the enemy was attacking the city at night, so he rushed over, but saw that it was raining. The big ones could smash the city walls into a pit, or even gaps appeared, while the small ones could smash people's heads and bloodshot, and there were shells that could explode, which were even more powerful.
