Chapter 199: The Verge


See, things are so ridiculous that they can't be justified by common sense, and the facts often become ridiculous and then covered up in speculation.

What did Lu Yi think, he felt that Liu Yan even said that kind of unreliable things, it was Liu Yan who considered his own feelings, and was forced to talk about ghosts and gods.

However, there are never many strange things that happen to Liu Yan, such as three crops a year are only limited to certain groups of people, and then look at Liu Yan's ability to replenish some troops anytime and anywhere I don't know where they come from, Lu Yi feels ridiculous and at the same time really believes it, but subconsciously rejects it, after all, the master said, "Silent strange power is chaotic".

"Maybe the king is not talking nonsense" Lu Yi is a scholar, a Confucian student, and a Confucian student after Dong Zhongshu, thinking very entangledly: "Han Gaozu cut the white snake and has the Han family for 400 years" By the way, the Han family likes some things that the gods and gods talk about the most, such as Liu Bang is cutting the white snake or something, that is to make it clear that Liu Bang is ordered by heaven, after all, Liu Bang can't hide the fact that he is from a humble background, and can only borrow those ghosts and gods to consolidate the "legitimacy" of the Liu family.

No matter how entangled Lu Yi's heart was, with the passage of time, because Liu Yan deliberately transferred back the defenders on the west bank of the glue, Yao Jing finally succeeded in destroying the bridge connecting the two sides of the glue.

The destruction of the bridge connecting the two sides of the glue is equivalent to Liu Yan's side losing a way out. is not only a way out, but also a logistics and grain road, no matter how you look at it, Liu Yan's headquarters has become a lone army in the true sense.

Yao Lan is a handsome-looking young man, and he completed the rendezvous with Yao Jing in the pavilion.

Yao Jing's original 80,000 people were hit by a contagious wind and cold, and when they waited for the illness to no longer occur, they lost nearly 20,000 people, and their morale also slipped to the valley.

According to the rule that whoever is strong is the boss, even if Yao Jing is Yao Yizhong's biological heir, but Yao Jing messed up the expedition, if he didn't have the credit for cutting off Liu Yan's back road, he would really be ashamed to see people.

In this way, after the two forces of the Yao family converged, Yao Lan became the commander of this army with a total of 70,000 people.

"Three months of grain" Yao Lan looked at Yao Jing with a very disgusted expression: "The plundering of killing chickens for heating is just raising three months' worth of grain" 70,000 people can use three months' worth of grain and straw, which is actually a lot, if Yao Lan didn't lead 10,000 people to come over, that batch of grain and grass would be enough for Yao Jing for eight or nine months.

Yao Jing came from a prominent background and could act recklessly.

He only came to the vicinity of Qingzhou for a short time, not counting the counties that plagued along the way, the entire county of Dong'an County and the west of Beihai County, a large area of land was originally a little popular, but it was tossed and turned not only into a dilapidation, but even a desolation with few people in the vast area.

"Fei Yan escaped, and Liu Yan stayed alone."

Yao Jing couldn't control his expression, and the gloom on his face couldn't be hidden: "Even if you don't come, the final victory of the war will belong to me" Yao Lan pursed her lips, too lazy to talk so much nonsense, and said directly: "Although Liu Zheng is deeply trusted by the Heavenly King, he may be talented in governance, but he is a waste in military affairs. ” Speaking of which, the Yao family's entry into Qingzhou is actually a very taboo thing, no matter what kind of banner it is waving, it is tantamount to breaking the unspoken rule of not reaching out to each other within Shijie Zhao State.

In this way, they can't annex Qingzhou openly at all, at least the position of Qingzhou Assassin cannot fall on the head of anyone in the Yao family, so they can only think of another way.

"There is a chance to kill Liu Zheng."

Yao Lan smiled cruelly and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't have a chance, weaken Qingzhou's power to the greatest extent and place our people in some key positions." ” Yao Jing's cheeks jumped, wanting to say something, but finally turned into a sneer.

During this period of time, Liu Zheng was transferring troops to the rear, Qi County, which was close to Jizhou, was relatively prosperous, and the population was larger than that of other counties, and it was estimated that it would not be a problem to put together an army of 20,000 or 30,000 The problem was how Liu Zheng should maintain the logistics of the troops with a total of nearly 50,000 or 60,000.

As Liu Yan, who was cut off from the back road, he pretended to try to restore the bridge on both sides of the glue, but unexpectedly unsuccessful.

The war around Xiami City has returned to the original kind of grinding local conflict, that is, Liu Zheng is gathering new troops and does not want to interfere for the time being, and Liu Yan is pretending that there is no way but to trap Xiami.

It was probably like that, after about half a month, the Yao family army led by Yao Lan finally appeared outside the Lower Secret City.

Standing at the head of the city, more than 100,000 people are at the mercy of the land, which is a huge piece, and as one military camp after another is erected, the vast land has become a forest of camps.

"But the surrounding woods are going to be bare by the scourge."

Liu Yan didn't seem to be nervous at all because of the arrival of a large number of enemy troops: "The Yao family should have eighty or ninety thousand people, and Liu Zheng still has forty thousand."

Lu Yi's face was extremely bad: "Your Majesty, I hope it won't become out of control." ” There is also a partial division in the Han Department, if it is replaced by a non-golden finger, because Liu Yan, who is surrounded by Xiami City, will not understand the movement at all.

Liu Yan knew very well where the partial division led by Xu Zheng was, and probably knew that Xu Zheng led the army to raid Feiyan's headquarters that ran south, but he didn't know what the results were.

"How can it be out of control."

Liu Yan really didn't feel anxious or anything: "Xu Zheng has already led the army to a hundred miles south of Xiami City. ” There is another army, which is commanded by Ji Chang, and the troops requisitioned from the Liao 1 East Peninsula and the Chao 1 Xian Peninsula are only 20,000 in number, but the quality is not too different from the partial division led by Xu Zheng.

This is the first time that the Han Ministry has dispatched more than 100,000 people to participate in the war, which is equivalent to destroying part of the development and going to war with all its might.

"This war will determine the ownership of Qingzhou."

Liu Yan has been waiting for this day for a long time, but the addition of the Yao family is an accident: "The enemy army is close to 150,000 and has about 20,000 cavalry."

Lu Yi can judge more or less from some information, but it is absolutely impossible to grasp the real data.

He said: "20,000 cavalry is the bottom line, considering that the Hu people are good at riding, there will be more." ” That's why you have to start a fight here in Xiami City, even if Liu Yan has a golden finger in the wild, but once the camp is breached, it is difficult to fight even if he can summon system soldiers "Here we are."

Lu Yi looked at the approaching 20,000 or so troops, but he didn't know if it was the Yao family and Liu Zheng working together, or if they belonged to a single family: "Those who are dressed in colorful clothes should be temporarily assembled" Lu Yi thought that there was not much difference between them, even if the rabble reached a certain number, it would be a very terrible thing.

The sound of war drums was beaten at the head of the city, and the archers who had received the instructions began to come up from the walkway of the wall, and they would stand by the female wall.

In addition to the archers, some of the auxiliaries would bring bundles of arrows, followed by wood and stones, and even begin to heat up the "golden juice".

The Lower Secret City was strengthened by the Han Dynasty, and in addition to some normal fortifications, bed crossbows and stone-throwing carts were also moved to the city wall, and they were placed on the pedestals that were erected, the kind of pedestals that could be pushed by wheels to move, and could be mobilized at any time if they wanted to disperse the defense or concentrate fire.

Liu Yan's eyes have always been good, and when he saw a big pole appear, he glanced at it and immediately found the two young men riding a majestic war horse.

I don't want to find that Yao Lan and Yao Jing are really a little difficult, not that the two of them are extraordinary, but that there are a lot of bits and pieces on the two of them, they look too young, and there are warriors around them who look fierce at a glance as guards.

The Daxu of the Di people is a little exquisite, the Daxu of the Han civilization is a kind of banner with a large area, and the Daxu of the Hu civilization is mainly based on animal fur and feathers, but the Di people are pinching the two civilizations together, resulting in the top of the Daxu is fur and feathers, and the bottom is a cloth flag with the word "Yao" written.

"Those guys don't know we have bed crossbows" Liu Yan watched the enemy soldiers approaching, and said slightly excitedly: "Wait a minute, give them a ruthless time" Needless to say, there is no need to say what to aim at, Hanbu has made a lot of car crossbows and bed crossbows, but because he has not really mastered the art of crossbows, there is no score on the quasi-head at all.

Yao Lan and Yao Jing actually knew that the Han Department had a giant crossbow, after all, the Han Department had already attacked so many walled cities and dock forts, and it was impossible to cover up the news of having a giant crossbow.

Liu Yan saw the two cousins of the Yao family stop outside the range of the bed crossbow, and blinked his eyes with some disappointment.

The old routine is nothing more than sending people to talk some nonsense in front of the two armies, Liu Yan doesn't have to guess and should know what the people sent by the Yao family will say, he personally pulled his bow and shot arrows, and shot the guy one hundred and fifty steps away with one arrow, and a huge cheer sounded at the head of the city.

Speaking of which, Liu Yan's force value is approaching a hundred, and there may still be a gap between him and the top generals, but he really doesn't need to learn some skills hard, and he can almost use it proficiently with a weapon.

This is also one of the golden fingers.

The Han side cheered because Liu Yan shot an arrow, but the Yao Jiajun side was in an uproar first, and then all kinds of insults were endless.

Originally, before the war, nag, such as why to fight, who has any guilt or black history, and which side can rely on his mouth to lower the morale of which side is really fake Anyway, nonsense is just nonsense.

What is the result is that Liu Yan did not follow the routine and shot the person cleanly.

Maybe Yao Lan or Yao Jing were unwilling, and sent someone again to slowly approach the city, he stopped one hundred and sixty steps away and was just about to speak, but he saw Liu Yan at the head of the city pulling his bow again, and subconsciously turned his horse's head and ran.

In fact, you have to shout loudly for 100 meters to know what to say, and what a loud voice should be at a distance of 2 or 300 meters, so that people can hear the words shouted clearly Li Kuang lowered his voice and asked, "Your Excellency can shoot people in one hundred and sixty steps."

Si Hongzhuang opened his mouth, and he really didn't know how to answer.

Since the mouth is useless, there is no need to talk nonsense, in the sound of a desolate horn, Yao Lan and Yao Jing retreated with their troops, they did not prepare engineering equipment when they first arrived, although they were half angry to death, but they didn't even have a siege ladder, could they just send people to the city to die for the sake of exit:
