Chang'an Intoxicated, A Chaos-Bringing Concubine

Chapter 233 Iron-forged Xiangyang City

When Fu Pi received Fu Hong's reply, his heart gradually relaxed, and finally he was no longer nervous. The Qin army surrounded Xiangyang City so tightly that not even a dog could escape from the city.

This confrontation lasted for two months. Zhu Xu hadn't seen any major actions yet, but Fu Pi was the first to lose his temper. He held several military meetings in succession, urging the generals to attack immediately.

Yang An still said the same thing, "Drag him to death."

Murong Wei didn't dare to speak any more. He was timid, but Murong Chui was extremely brave. He made several admonitions to attack Xiangyang. Siege, at this time, Murong Chui said that Yang An's words were reasonable, and it is better to subdue the enemy's soldiers without fighting than to shed blood in rivers.

Fu PI lost his temper in the camp of the Chinese Army and broke the teacups all over the floor.

"They're all stupid stuff. If you drag on, I don't think Zhu Xu will die first, but me."

"Pass on the commander's order and send troops to attack the city immediately."

Yang An sighed a few times and didn't say any more. No one in the account dared to say more.

At this time, General Yao Chang of Longxiang stood up and said, "Mr. Changle, don't rush forward. Now our three-way army is joining forces in Xiangyang, with more than 20 soldiers. It can be said that our army is strong and strong, ten times that of Zhu Xu. Grain is piled up like a mountain. As long as we move the people of Han and Mian to Xu and Luo for a while, block the grain roads in Xiangyang, and cut off their reinforcements, Zhu Xu will be like a bird in a net. Why don't we worry about not being able to attack Xiangyang? The general is a person who has experienced battles and is good at strategy. Why do you kill more soldiers and rush for success? If we attack Xiangyang by force and Zhu Xu defends the city desperately, after this bloody battle, half of our 20 troops will surely be lost , and Zhu Xu only had less than [-] soldiers and horses, what a huge damage ratio, why kill [-] and lose [-], there is no such reason."

Everyone nodded in praise, "General Long Xiang is right."

Although there is Fancheng blocking Xiangyang’s southern grain roads, the Jin army can still buy merchants through the northern border. If the people of Han and Mian migrate to Xu and Luo to block all grain roads in Xiangyang, then Xiangyang will naturally become a turtle in the urn. , Zhu Xucheng is a bird in the net, and within three months, the siege of Xiangyang will be peacefully and satisfactorily ended, and it will not cost a single soldier.

The best state of war is to make the enemy surrender without fighting.

But Fu Pi scolded, "What is your idea? Do you think I don't know? What are you thinking? Can the people of Han and Mian migrate without the emperor's will? You want me to Bear the charge, don't listen to the holy words, and be dictatorial, are you going to kill me?"

Yao Chang said, "The general will be outside, and the king's life will not be accepted."

"Don't tell me this, I'll ask you, will you fight or not? You will fight tomorrow."

Yao Chang clasped his fists and said, "It's the order of Lord Changle, so the subordinates will naturally obey the orders."

"Okay, General Long Xiang is so courageous, you can fight the first battle tomorrow. This commander will personally go to the battle to supervise the battle and cheer for you. After two months of shrinking, you are finally going to feel proud."

The generals didn't dare to make a sound, Murong Wei trembled non-stop, Fu Pi walked down from above, and patted him on the shoulder as he passed by him intentionally or unknowingly, "Xinxinghou, just watch, Let's see how I can take down Xiangyang City."

"Yes, yes, the Duke of Changle crowns the Sixth Army bravely and takes Xiangyang as a force."

"The momentum is like a broken bamboo. I have been fighting for three months and haven't captured it. How did it become a broken bamboo? Someone, drag Murong Wei out for me, punish the twenty army staff, flatter and talk nonsense."

"Master Changle, Lord Changle, I didn't do anything, please forgive me." Misfortune came from the sky, and it must be Murong Wei's personal experience at this moment.

"You still dare to quibble, it is precisely because you do nothing that our army has been invincible for a long time. Have you been raised by the court for nothing? Ah, drag it out and fight."

"Mr. Changle..."

The next day, the sky was sunny, with white clouds in the sky, the sky was as blue as the sea, and the breeze was buoyant. Yao Chang led the army to march, with two lieutenants beside him, and tens of thousands of troops behind him waited for the military order.

The sun slanted down and projected on the majestic three-zhang city wall in front of it. The heads on the wall were solemn, the flags were high, and a Chinese character Jin fluttered in the wind.

The gate of the city was closed tightly, and there was a man standing in the middle of the city wall, wearing silver armor, his face could not be seen clearly, but he was holding a sharp silver gun in his hand, staring down the city without saying a word.

"The Herald."

"Subordinates are here."

"Go and deliver the message."

"Yes." After receiving the order, the deputy general around him patted his horse away, and when he was about a hundred steps away from the city wall, he reined in his horse and stopped, "Listen up, people in the city, today is Long Xiang under the account of my Great Qin Yangping. General Yao Chang will lead his troops to fight in person, come out to fight quickly, otherwise we will kill all of you in the city and slaughter all of Rucheng."

Yao Chang raised his neck, raised his chin, and squinted at the man on the city wall, but he seemed to see him snatch a bow from a soldier guarding the city beside him, he opened the bow and set an arrow, and the arrow shot out through the air, unbiased Leaning, it just hit the front of the horse's leg under the lieutenant's seat, blood will be seen within an inch.

"This is the general's answer, just come on, I will be waiting for you." The man's response came down from the top of the city wall, and Yao Chang listened clearly.

"Extremely rampant." Yao Chang snorted coldly.

Fu Pi was watching the battle under the commander's tent. Since the Battle of Xiangyang started, he fought against Zhu Xu several times. , but never fell down. Fu Pi admired his courage and loyalty, but he still hated him.

"Duke Changle, the time has come, should we start a war?" asked the lieutenant standing beside him.

Fu Pi waved his hand, "What are you waiting for, are you waiting to die? Hit."

The agreement between the two parties has been completed, and there are bursts of drums and drums on the battlefield to help the battle, followed by bursts of military songs.

Yao Chang swung his sword, pointed it forward, and drew a straight attack into the sky, "Siege the city."

Five people form a team, ten people form a team, and a large team of 50 people. Yao Chang's formation is mainly a square formation, with 150 people in a square formation. The crossbow soldiers were at the back of the phalanx. As the Qin army's infantry phalanx approached, the arrows on the city flew towards them. The two sides were fighting at a distance of 100 paces. Soldiers, the Qin army continued to advance, and when they were more than [-] steps away, Yao Chang immediately waved his sword heroically to signal, "Rush and attack."

The neatly formed Qin army immediately rushed forward, and at the same time, arrows swished densely from above, piercing fiercely into the Qin soldiers who were about to attack the city, and screamed one after another. There was a sound, plasma burst out, someone fell to the ground in response, someone braved the arrow rain to move forward, the sound of the collision of the sword and the arrow was clear and piercing, and the long cry of the war horses in the Qin Iron Cavalry Army on standby came from behind.

"Those who attack the city wall will be rewarded, and those who retreat will be beheaded."

Qin soldiers are brave and good at fighting, especially cavalry.

However, the Battle of Xiangyang was dominated by siege, and the cavalry was a shortcoming. Daqin's horses could not support the solid Xiangyang City, and the infantry was the advantage. Therefore, Yao Chang's infantry formation was all used for infantry, and five people formed a family. If one person escapes or dies in battle, the other four will sit together. In this way, Yao Chang's phalanx is not afraid of life and death on the battlefield. It is extremely brave, and the arrows in the city are like locusts. , Under the city, the Qin soldiers attacked the city in full swing, and the archers covered the spearmen to attack the city in an orderly manner.

Fu Pi pursed his lips tightly and watched the battle ahead with a serious face. The general beside him handed him a cup of tea, and Fu Pi slowly raised the cup to watch quietly, "This Yao Chang is a good general, but unfortunately, he is not me. Clan, if not, I will naturally get close to him."

"Yao Chang is quite a man of the city, but he looks respectful and polite on the surface. Duke Chang Le is right, don't get close to him."

Fu Pi smiled, "Then, this battle is up to him. If he wins, it's easy to say. If he loses, it's up to me to deal with him."

Yao Chang would not have heard his words, so he fought diligently for the commander in chief. Seeing that the Qin soldiers were approaching the city, dozens of steps away, the ladder approached the city wall, and the crossbowmen followed the siege soldiers. Xianghu, at this time, arrowheads of fire balls suddenly flew down from the city, shooting into the soldiers below the city one by one. Suddenly, the fire balls seemed to be stirred by a strong wind. With the wailing of the people caught in the fire, Qin The soldiers caught fire one by one, and the rockets from above continued to fly in. The siege infantry suddenly came to a standstill. The city wall was too high and the distance was too close. Shout, "Build me a fish and food road, quick, get the earth bag."

"General, the enemy's rockets are too strong, and our sight is blurred. Let's withdraw first."

"Then set it up for me, pass the order down, and start the fish and food road."

"Yes, General."

"Mr. Changle, General Longxiang seems to be building a fish and food road to attack the city wall. This is not an easy task. The enemy used rockets, and our side's ladder is difficult to set up. We must build fish under the arrows like locusts." Going up the grain road to the city is even more difficult."

Fu Pi pursed his lips and remained silent, thinking about something.

The next moment, he just heard him shout angrily, and smashed the teacup in his hand, "Is Yao Chang going to spend tens of thousands of my troops to set up a fish and food road and attack the city? Ah, he wants to kill my people!" If it doesn’t work, send an order to withdraw the troops.”

"Mr. Changle, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to withdraw our troops at this time. General Long Xiang looks like the battle is about to capture Xiangyang City. Why don't we take a look? If we withdraw our troops now, it will hurt our morale on the one hand, and on the other hand it will also hurt us." Let the Jin army gain prestige."

"Retreat, am I the commander or are you the commander? Retreat." Fu Pi was furious, got up and left the tent.

Although the Qin soldiers who attacked the city suffered heavy casualties, Yao Chang had nearly [-] soldiers in this battle, which is not a small number. The front was bleeding like a river, and the soldiers behind were about to rush into the bloody battle. At this time, there were bursts of singing When he got up, Yao Chang was taken aback, then frowned, but shouted loudly, "Back back, back up quickly."

The soldiers who had carried the earthbags immediately put down the earthbags in their hands and returned to the formation. With the general's sword pointing in the direction, the phalanx quickly retreated.

The rockets flying over the city stopped at the right time, and Zhu Xu shot over with piercing eyes, "Fu Jian has a good son."

Fu Pi lectured in the tent of the Chinese army, and Yao Chang stood down and listened.

"General Long Xiang, it was just a battle, why did you start the fish and food road?"

Yao Chang replied forcefully, "The enemy's rockets are too heavy, and Xiangyang's city walls are too high. If they attack the city with ladders, the soldiers will have nothing to support them, so they will not be able to climb the walls. Instead, we will build fish and food roads. You can safely climb the city and fight the enemy."

"Do you know how much military industry it takes to build the fish and food road?"

"My subordinates have done the calculations. This battle is one-to-one. Our army loses [-] in exchange for a battle with the enemy. After our vanguard attacks the city wall, the army can break through the main city gate, and our army has the upper hand." , Xiangyang City will be destroyed."

"I'll give you 3 horses, and you'll give me none left. General Long Xiang, you're such a good account holder. Let my direct troops be beaten, and you'll get military merit."

"Mr. Changle, the battlefield is all about fighting and killing. Our army is furious with arrows. Soldiers have to sacrifice their lives in exchange for military merit. It is not the merit of one person."

"I think it's right to use your life." Fu Pi said angrily.

"How many soldiers and horses did you bring when you surrendered to the court, and how many of your own troops were used in the battlefield? Don't think that I don't know what you are going to do, you people with evil intentions. Come, let me drag Yao Chang down. , beat, stick to twenty."

Yao Chang's expression did not change.

Yang Andao, "Duke Changle, General Long Xiang is a general under Yang Ping Gong's tent. Your Majesty personally bestowed the word Long Xiang. You have to think about it."

Fu Pi was taken aback for a moment.

Anyone who listens to the word "Longxiang" should pay respects. This is the first title Fu Jian has obtained since he joined the military administration. Fu Hong, who was still the king of heaven, was Fu Jian's grandfather. Fu Jian entered the On the battlefield, he followed his father to conquer the east and west, and made military achievements repeatedly. Fu Hong especially liked his grandson, so he bestowed the title of General Long Xiang on Fu Jian. Until Fu Jian's father became the current prime minister, Fu Hong Jiancai was able to inherit the title of prince of the East China Sea as the son of the eldest son, and after Fu Xiong's death, he inherited the title of prince.

Yang Andao, "From the point of view of my subordinates, the responsibility for the stick will be relieved. Lord Changle, the first battle in Xiangyang was just the time when our army was employing people. General Long Xiang was brave and resourceful. He is such a talented general. He just fought, and there is no such thing as a general." Mistake, Lord Changle shouldn’t bring up ethnic prejudice at this moment. The Holy Majesty has said that anyone who surrenders to our court should be treated like a guest. Whether it’s the troops of our Di tribe, the Xianbei, the Qiang tribe, or the Jie people, we should all be of one mind in this battle. Make the same effort, otherwise, the Xiangyang battle will take several years, and no one can afford to blame the Holy One, Lord Changle, please think twice."

Fu Pi's expression was extremely embarrassing. How could he take it back after the words had been spoken, but Yang An's words poured cold water on his head, making him wake up and tremble all over. Fu Pi was originally a bastard, and his mother was also A maid of low status in the palace, when Fu Jian was young, the late Emperor Fu Jian liked his nephew and kept him in the palace for many years. A court lady next to Fu Sheng was punished for committing a crime, and Fu Jian rescued her , the court lady promised with her body. Fu Jian was only 15 years old at the time. Later, when Fu Jian was killing Fu Sheng, his mother was by Fu Sheng's side to deliver the letter in time for Fu Jian Fu Fa. This made a great contribution. Fu Jian Pi was one year older than Fu Hong, and Fu Hong was born a son of the eldest son, but Fu Pi could only secure his throne by continuously building up his military exploits, so he was extra cautious in front of Fu Jian, for fear of violating any taboos. General Xiang was originally Fu Jian's first title. As the eldest son, he must not be disrespected. Besides, Yao Chang has entered his uncle's army camp again. How dare he do it?

At this time, Yao Chang knelt down and said loudly, "Mr. Changle is right. I made a mistake in the first battle. I shouldn't have risked the lives of all the soldiers in the army. Please punish me, Mr. Changle."

Yang An and the others were silent on one side, as if they were waiting for the end of this ridiculous farce.

Fu Pi finally sighed, "Forget it, since General Long Xiang knows he was wrong, I don't need to punish him again, let's step down as an example."

"Thank you, Lord Changle, for your forgiveness."

Yao Chang got up, bowed and retreated to the side of the tent.

"Everyone has also seen that Zhu Xu can't hold on, but he is condescending, occupying the geographical advantage and intercepting our army's attack. Although our army has a large number of people, it has not taken advantage of it. If this continues, when will Xiangyang be broken."

"I know, you want to wait again? Delay, but there must be a time limit for waiting. When Chang'an came to write, Father asked me, how long is this waiting, half a year, a year, or longer? What do you take? Be careful."

The tent fell silent for a moment, and the sound of the sergeant's drill outside could be heard clearly.

"If our troops are weak, that's fine, but it is precisely because we have enough soldiers and enough food that the imperial court has been watching us closely for this battle in Xiangyang. If you continue to be so decadent, some people in the imperial court will impeach you and lose your money." The official position is small, and I'm afraid my life will be in danger by then."

Yang Andao, "Does Your Majesty have a clear instruction on the time limit for breaking the city?"

Fu Pi shook his head lightly, "Father did not elaborate."

Yang Andao, "The First Battle of Xiangyang has lasted for three months. If His Majesty is extremely dissatisfied with us, he can be dismissed and replaced. However, His Majesty did not have such an inclination in the letter, which means that our protracted war was won by His Majesty." Agreed, wait a little longer, His Majesty's letter will make a clear decision."

Hearing what he said, everyone thought it made sense for a moment, so they nodded in agreement. Fu Pi's dissatisfied and sad face gradually relaxed, and he hoped in his heart that the next letter would not have some unexpected intentions. up.

Therefore, the Xiangyang battle with Fu Pi as the coach continued until the second half of the year.
