With sufficient manpower in the Hulu Valley, I couldn't help but worry about money and food in a short period of time. I was in the mountains, and I didn't lack trees or stones. Under Jiang Feng's advocacy, the valley looked like a day, and opened up a road that ran through the valley. , The city defense of the fortress in the valley mouth and valley has also begun. In time, Hulu Valley will become a solid fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. (The first text is available in the Reading Pavilion)

The cold winter was cold, and Yan Xiaoyi sent back the news. The Mongolian army outside Anqing City began to intensively mobilize, and it seemed that they were preparing to launch a large-scale attack. Yun Zhao immediately took Tu Xiong, and the two sneaked to the vicinity of Anqing, close to each other. Observing the movements of the Mongolian army and the Anqing garrison. However, Yun Zhao's observation focus was the fortress, the only road to Yizhou controlled by the Anqing garrison, the stone fortress, which was the only road through Bayankala. In Yun Zhao's In this plan, this stone castle must be controlled by one's own hands.

This road through the Bayankara Mountains was decades ago. Before the Great Yue war against the Mongolians, it mobilized hundreds of thousands of civilians and tried tens of millions of hardships to fight through Yizhou. It suddenly appeared on this road. The Great Vietnamese army once gave a fatal blow to a Mongolian army. As the war ended, the road was slowly abandoned, and the path that crossed the mountains was too difficult and dangerous. In addition, with wild beasts raging in the mountains, ordinary merchants dared not Walking on this road, as time goes by, the road begins to grow again with trees, and too many places collapse and can no longer walk.

With the invasion of the Mongols, Anqing became an isolated city. In desperation, the Anqing guards sent soldiers to risk traveling through the Bayankara Mountains from this abandoned path and seeking help from Yizhou. In the past six months, this one has been Although there are not many abandoned roads, it can make An Qing waning. It can make the city guard soldiers send supplies with a glimmer of hope from this ancient road. In winter, heavy snow covers the mountain. This road The supplies can no longer be transported, but his existence is the hope of Anqing City. As long as the stone fort that protects this path does not fall, the soldiers of Anqing have hope. As long as they can persist until the ice and snow thaw, the supplies will be transported from there. come over.

Therefore, the significance of the battle for the stone fort is not that this small fortress that can only accommodate 300 soldiers. More importantly, it is a psychological hint that the stone fortress is in, and the people of Anqing have hope, and they would rather die. Don't surrender. Hold on to the top, but if the stone fortress falls and destroys the hope of Anqing people, attacking Anqing will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Tatarbalutu tried to attack the stone fort, but at that time, the stone fort was sufficient supplies. Just a crossbow, dozens of them were arranged on the small stone fort wall, and several consecutive attacks were attacked. Afterwards, Barutu gave up the attack and instead siege Anqing for a long time. Mengfang lacked siege equipment, and Barutu was unwilling to use his elite cavalry soldiers to attack the city.

Until the Tatar tribe was transferred and the Guoluo tribe Lakathi led the coalition forces to arrive. At this time, Anqing City, which had already entered winter, finally cut off the supply of supplies and life became harder and harder.

The Anqing guard general Yue Ming knew the importance of the stone fort and sent the three hundred soldiers in his hand to the stone fort, led by his deputy Su Dingfang. No matter how fierce the battle was, he always tried to maintain the number of guards in the stone fort. With enough, even if the stone fort is there, Anqing City is just a group of rookies and farmers, he is confident to keep it. If the stone fort is lost, even if the soldiers who have lost hope, they will have the courage to fight to the decisive battle?

With the advent of winter, Yue Ming's brows became deeper and deeper day by day. The opponent, Lakathi of Guo Luo's army, was unknown, but he was a difficult opponent. These days, he has been constantly exploring the attack.

The stop was consuming the few materials reserves of the stone fort. If the mountain was not blocked with heavy snow, it would still be replenished, but now, one is missing.

Yue Ming knew the importance of the stone fort, but why didn't Lacath know? Nearly 30,000 coalition forces, Lacath led more than 20,000 people to besiege Anqing, and ordered the coalition forces to attack the stone fort, which was second only to his own.

There were more than 3,000 cavalry in the army, and Lacathie assigned Rava, Zion and other small tribes to the clan leader Qiqige, promising that as long as Qiqige captured the stone castle, the first achievement after finally taking Anqing was calculated.

Its own type.

After two consecutive days of fierce attacks, Qiqige's own subordinates gathered hundreds of corpses under the stone castle, and the few small tribes he gave him were also damaged, which made Qiqige very painful, and several small tribe leaders also

They are no longer willing to attack hard, because they are weak in their strength. If they fight hard like this, the Mongolian cavalry are not good at attacking the city, and their efforts are completely inconsistent with their gains.

Before Qiqige could go to Lacath to complain, Lacath had sent people to criticize Qiqige, claiming that if the stone fortress could not be conquered within three days, then the clans would be

Deport back to the desert. Of course, in order to ensure that the siege of Qiqi will not be disturbed by any interference, he will send 5,000 cavalry to completely cut off all the connection between Anqing City and the stone fort, so that Anqing will not have a soldier and a soldier sneaking over to support the aid stone

Fort.

"There are three thousand people, plus other tribes, a total of more than 5,000 people, and there are only more than 300 people in the stone castle. Even if you change ten, you will be enough!" This is the Lakathi Sect

The messenger who came warned Qiqige not to delay the situation, Qiqige was so angry that he was crazy, his braided hair scattered with his head. If the siege could be calculated like this, then Lucheng would have been taken down by the Mongolians long ago.

, Where does Princess Jaldan have to plan for several years and make efforts to succeed?

Those tall stone walls and sturdy castles were born to be nemesis of Mongolian cavalry.

But Lakathy's orders cannot be disobeyed. This is not only because Lakathy is stronger than himself, but also because he is very much loved by the king Wuda. If he really angers him, he will drive himself and his tribe back.

The desert is light, and it is not impossible to find an excuse to kill yourself and then annex the entire Luo tribe. The history of the entire desert is a bloody and tear history of annexation and anti-annexation. Countless emerging tribes have risen, countless

The old tribes declined and even disappeared.

But the playing style like before is definitely not good. Even if you really take down the stone castle, your subordinates will almost die. As Lacarthy said, you should exchange it for your own tribe.

This stone castle is here, and the tribe warriors are all dead. What is the use of the tribe leader who wants the first merit? After I go back, I will sit and see if the tribe is divided up by other people?

Sitting in the cold wind all night. Looking at the high walls of the stone castle, the two prism-shaped castle-like buildings echo each other, and what made Qi Qi Ge scolded him was that he didn't know that it was the bastard who brought this place to him.

The stone castle is designed like this, unlike the square edges on Anqing City. Although the city wall is high, it can still climb. Just deal with the threat from the top of your head, this damn stone castle is completely an irregular polygon.

, Some places are protruding and some places are concave. No matter where you climb from there, you will be hit from three directions and there is no room for dodging.

"Damn it, damn it." Qiqige grabbed the braids all over his head and cursed. Seeing that it was dawn, the three days limited to Lacarthy will officially begin. He has not yet come up with any good idea.

.

The weather is not good, and the snow breeze is blowing again. Isn’t this really causing trouble for myself! Snow, snowflakes? The eyes lit up. Yes, it is snowflakes. In addition to trees, there are snowflakes. Here, it is snowflakes. With trees, there are also snowflakes.

It is very easy to destroy the opponent, but what if it is snow?

He laughed to the sky, and there was a way.

As soon as the sky was dawn, Su Ding appeared at the head of the stone castle. The connection with Anqing City was completely cut off, and several hidden passages were destroyed. The damn Lacarthy discovered the most secretive way to Anqing City from Anqing City to the stone castle.

An underground passage, this tunnel that stretches for more than ten miles, was dug manually, covered with giant trees, then covered with soil and planted turf. Now it is snowing heavily, making this passage more hidden, but God knows

How could that Lacarthy know that there is such a passage in the stone fort that can replenish weapons and supplies from Anqing City? This secret is also the reason why the stone fort is guarded by 300 people but can stand firm, because no matter how dead people are here

Many wounded soldiers can be dragged back to Anqing City, and reinforcements will be replenished continuously. But now, this passage has been cut off, so I can only rely on the 300 soldiers I just replenished to fight against the opponent's attack. I deserve to die.

Su Dingfang pounded the bare walls hard. Yesterday, Lacath smashed the passage, and some of the weapons and soldiers transported inside were buried in the passage. Fortunately, Anqing and Shibao

They all reacted quickly and immediately blocked the passage. Otherwise, the enemy would attack along the passage, and the consequences would be unimaginable. Looking at the densely packed tents of the Mongolian army on the opposite side, Su Dingfang's scalp was a little numb. Can he hold on until spring?

Are reinforcements coming? It would be great if there was an army in Tanzhou coming to support it.

Su Dingfang knew that he was in a foolish dream. The main camp of the Mongolian army gathered in Tanzhou. Tanzhou was a clay Buddha crossing the river, and it was difficult for him to protect himself. Where can he care about an isolated city like Anqing?

Thinking of this, Su Dingfang couldn't help but hate Pan Haoran, the governor of Yizhou. When the war broke out, the defenders of Lucheng were defeated thousands of miles away. General Yue Ming saw that the situation was not good, immediately sent someone to ask for help from Yizhou, hoping that Yizhou could send an army.

Come to Anqing to support, but Pan Haoran flatly refused on the grounds that he did not dare to mobilize the army without the orders of the court. In fact, who doesn't know that the Yizhou Town Army is Pan Haoran's private army? The imperial court's government orders have long been violated by the Yang Dynasty.

, if the imperial edict was not effectively implemented, he would probably push back and forth even if the imperial edict was reached. General Yue Ming asked people to repeatedly beg him, and only asked him to provide him with arms supply to Anqing and replenish food. If there were 20,000 to 30,000 troops in Anqing,

How could the Mongolian army conquer?

Now it is useless to say that these things are useless. Maybe I really want to follow General Yue to be loyal to the country.

It was getting bright, and the sound of military trumpets sounded above the stone fortress. The soldiers who had been calm all night quickly rushed to the top of the city. A bed crossbow was pushed out of the hidden soldiers' cave. In this ghost weather, if the bed crossbow was not included at night

OK, if you push back to the Tibetan camp, the string will be too easy to be frozen. After a few days of fierce fighting, dozens of crossbows lost a quarter, and now there are only more than twenty pieces that can be used. Although this is the case,

On the small castle of Stone Castle, twenty bed crossbows were gathered, and the density was quite high. The question is that there are not many crossbow arrows. What should I do when the bed crossbow is used up?

"How many stone cannons are there?" Su Dingfang turned his head and asked a Zhiguo Captain beside him.

"Secretary Su, there are more than 30 stone cannons, but there are not many stone cannons!" The seventh-rank Zhiguo School Captain had a cloth strip wrapped around his head, and blood was stained. This was the injury he suffered yesterday.

"Any stone in the castle that does not endanger the main castle will be removed for me and made into stone bullets." Su Dingfang ordered.

"Captain Su, the stone bullets of the stone cannon need a long time to polish. The stones are so big, what should I do?" asked Captain Zhiguo.

"What's the point of asking about this? Swing the sledgehammer and hammer it into a similar size as a stone bullet. It's also a good thing to polish it. As long as it can be sent out at that time." Su Dingfang glared at him angrily and turned around.

Come on, his eyes suddenly faded, and his face gradually turned pale.

"Oh no!" he murmured...
