Qin Feng only stayed in Hong Kong Island for seven days this time, and then had to return to the Daqi World in advance.

Feng Qingyun's personal ethics was not enough to be careful, but he was not mediocre and incompetent. He summoned all generals early the next morning to issue an order to start the war. Yu Fangzhou, the commander of the capital, led 10,000 troops to the front line to preside over the siege.

After Yu Fangzhou silently took the order, he left the commander's tent and went to rectify the troops.

The commander-in-chief is nearly fifty years old and has a normal ability, but his personality is a bit old-fashioned. What is rare is that he is loyal to the court and ignores Feng Qingyun's several hints. This makes the coach very dissatisfied, and this time he assigns this tricky task to him.

Although he didn't say it clearly, Yu Fangzhou was not a fool, so he naturally understood that this was Feng Qingyun's plan to kill people by using a knife. He and the ten thousand people under him were prepared to use chips and cannon fodder to consume on the battlefield, and it was also bait to lure Zhao Yuanjin to show off his mysterious killer weapon.

No matter what the final outcome of this battle against rebellion, he himself, together with these ten thousand soldiers, will be basically in danger.

Unfortunately, Yu Fangzhou had no choice but to know the result. After all, he was not the head coach, Feng Qingyun was the only one. The military rules were strict, and even if you were forced to die, you would have to obey your fate.

Dare to have any objections? You can order you to be pushed out and cut off on the spot! You will be charged with "DDT war" and "anti-military order" afterwards, and you will not be able to live a peaceful life if you die.

“…General, what should I do now?”

In the tent, a young captain asked anxiously.

"What else can you do? Of course, I'm preparing to lead the army to attack the city." Yu Fangzhou said with a expressionless face.

The captain said angrily: "That bastard is a dog raised by the old thief Zhang Minzhong. He is deliberately trying to kill you. Could it be that he just let his mercy..."

Yu Fangzhou's face changed, his eyes instantly became as cold as a knife, and his power suddenly appeared, which made the captain stop talking.

After a while of silence, the commander Youyou sighed and his expression calmed down. The captain is his fellow clan, and he is still related to relatives. He has been with him for many years and is very affectionate. This time, he is a little impulsive when he is worried about his safety.

"Yu Zong, I know what you are thinking, but some things are not something you and I can control. Now that things are here, what can I do?"

Yu Fangzhou said with a slouching expression: "Eat the king's fortune and loyalty to the king. I joined the army for 16 years, served the imperial court for more than 30 years, and experienced more than a hundred major and large wars. It is a lucky chance to survive until now. It is not in vain to die in the battlefield for the country now..."

He paused for a moment, took out a tightly sealed package from under the table, looked at it for a while before handing it to the captain, and said:

"Although you and I don't have the name of father and son, I have always treated you as my own son. Now there is nothing to say. This is my life savings and some experience in marching and fighting. You can take it back to your hometown now."

"The court has become corruption, the country is in power, the country is overthrown, the world is changing for less than ten years. If you have the will, you will choose a wise master in the future to serve, and you will win a wife and a son, and it will be good to be glorious and glorious."

"General..." Yu Zong burst into tears and his voice choked.

Yu Fangzhou smiled and patted his shoulder: "A real man stands tall and has a life and death, so why should he be like this little daughter? Let's go!"

The captain knelt down silently, kowtowed a few times, got up and left the camp.

A moment later, the clamor sounded across the camp, the fence opened, and a large number of cold-looking soldiers rushed out of the camp like a tide. Under the loud command of the officers, they pushed various siege equipment to approach the city wall.

Under the banner, Yu Fangzhou rode a war horse and calmly issued dispatching orders.

This time, it is no better than Meng Luo besieged Jingnan County last time. At this time, Yangcheng County had sufficient food, grass and weapons and high morale. It is destined to be a tough battle. Even if all of these ten thousand soldiers died in the end, it is not surprising, including him, the commander.

On the city wall, the rebels were already on guard. Many large pots that were burning endlessly were lined up, with gold juice and boiling oil inside.

Golden juice, also known as golden soup, is a manure soup after rotten and fermented. On the ancient battlefield, this thing appeared very frequently. Its efficacy is equivalent to a relatively primitive biological and chemical weapon. Once the boiled golden juice is splashed on the body, it is inevitable that the skin will bloom and the flesh will bloom, and there is almost no cure, because it is impossible not to have an infection.

The effects of boiling oil are similar to those of you, both of which are powerful tools in defending the city. Of course, there is not much oil in this era, so the cost of use is high. Qin Feng tried to make these on the city walls.

At this moment, he was observing the military situation with Zhao Yuanjin in the city gate tower. The imperial army under the city lined up, and the archer formation had already been launched, and the arrows were flying in like a storm. So much so that the soldiers on the city wall were hiding behind the battlements of the city wall to protect their bodies with shields.

There are also trenchers to assist further away. Stones rolled in the air, falling on the city wall with huge potential energy, causing the city tower to vibrate slightly.

This is the preparation of firepower in the era of cold weapons. For a time, the city walls, towers, bracelets, and corridors were filled with cracked stones, and the falling arrows were densely tied like hedgehogs. There were also many stones and arrows crossing the city walls and falling to the open spaces and residential areas behind.

After a moment, the rain of arrows stopped. Amid the dull and dense drum beats, hundreds of soldiers pushed various siege equipment and rushed towards the city wall regardless of the siege.

The guard Lin Ke on the city looked calm and stared coldly at the gradually approaching court troops under the city without saying a word. Until they approached a certain distance, they waved their hand hard and ordered the arrow to be fired.

Suddenly, arrows were raining on the top of the city, and due to the acceleration of gravity, the penetration force of the arrow fell became much stronger. Many soldiers who had no time to protect were shot and screamed and groaned.

The soldiers who were not caught in the arrow raised their shields at the same time and continued to rush hard. Some of the faster-moving ones had already put the ladder on the top of the city and then climbed up desperately.

The rebels guarding the city were at a high altitude, with a large scoop of hot gold juice and boiling oil constantly falling down. The soldiers who were splashed screamed and fell down, breaking their tendons and bones.

In the city offensive and defensive battle, the defense has a natural advantage in attacking from above. The attacking side has siege equipment and the physical energy consumption is already considerable. Then, they have to go from bottom to top, brave the enemy's intensive attacks above, climbing up the city, and four or five casualties halfway through the road.

Sun Tzu's Art of War says: "The superior army attacks the plan, then attacks the diplomatic relations, then attacks the army, and then attacks the city."

"If the general cannot defeat his anger and the ants are attached to him, and killing one-third of the soldiers but the city has not yet been pulled out, this is a disaster for attack."

It means that when two countries fight, they will defeat the enemy's troops without fighting, and the most clever strategy is to defeat the enemy's diplomatic envoy, and then to defeat the enemy's army. As for attacking the enemy's cities, it is actually the lowest and least cost-effective approach.

The general could not contain his anger and drove his soldiers to climb ladders to attack the city like ants. As a result, one-third of the soldiers were injured and killed, but the city still failed to conquer. This was the disaster of siege.

Geshuhan, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, led more than 60,000 troops to attack Shibao City, a strategic land of Tubo. Due to the dangerous terrain, only 400 Tubo soldiers occupied the city and defended it, which made the Tang army pay the price of tens of thousands of casualties to conquer it.

In the Battle of Diaoyu City in the late Southern Song Dynasty, the Mongolian army had no choice but to attack for many years, and even the Great Khan Mengge died of serious injuries at the city.

Therefore, in the era of cold weapons, the casualty rate in the offensive and defensive battles in the city was always high, even the leading generals were no exception.

Now facing Yangcheng County, which has complete defense measures and sufficient food, grass and weapons, Qin Feng spared no effort to provide logistics support in secret. It was difficult for the imperial army to capture this city.
