Chapter 203

Where is the other branch of Han division? Probably when Yao LAN, Yao Jing and Liu Zheng were confused, Xu Zheng's cavalry just entered Dong'an County.

Xu Zheng needs some time to survey the terrain when he enters Dong'an County. Before that, he can only hide as much as possible. Otherwise, if he is ambushed or blocked in a place because he is unfamiliar with the terrain, it will become a synonym for stupidity.

The pace of the attack and defense of the city was not fast. The attack and defense of Xiami only lasted for 12 days. It should be that Liu Zheng, Yao LAN and Yao Jing didn't experience similar wars before they felt slow.

We should know a little clearly, but for cities with better urban defense facilities, which cities are pushed down by one drum? Cities that are easy to attack take several days, and some take several months, but there are more cities that have not been attacked for several years. (need an example?)

In this way, the slow-paced offensive and defensive war continues.

Because they can't attack for a long time and the casualties are slightly heavy, the morale of the coalition forces is changing every day. Of course, those who are the main generals of the coalition forces have found signs, but they can't solve them effectively when they know what.

"Nearly 4000 people were lost today, but finally the third floor of the camp was broken!" Yao Lan was gnashing his teeth when he spoke: "I paid special attention to it. There are still a thousand enemy soldiers."

It's weird. No matter how much you lost yesterday, it's definitely a thousand armour the next day. It seems that you can't kill it all.

Yao LAN can guarantee that he never found that the Han Dynasty reinforced the camp from the east bank. It is because of this that he can't understand how the warriors in the camp are supplemented.

"Liu Yan deliberately killed our troops, so he didn't send the warriors at one time?" Yao Jing is not stupid. He just doesn't know what "systematic golden finger" is. In that way, ignorance becomes inevitable. He said with a wry smile, "if so, he succeeded."

It was an extremely inspiring thing to fight the third camp, but the price was too high. If yesterday's losses were included, nearly 18000 troops had been included in the attack on the camp. The Allied forces together, a total of 110000 people, lost 18000 people on the other side of the camp, and nearly 4000 people in the main and sub cities of Xiami. Attacking the corridors established in the Han Dynasty lost nearly 10000 people, leaving less than 80000 people in less than half a month.

The reason why "people" are used instead of soldiers is very clear. Among the coalition forces, those who can be called soldiers are nearly 20000 Qiang soldiers and 12000 of the Qingzhou army. The rest are temporarily pulled up, and the young and strong account for the majority.

"Even if those corridors are broken today, they can be built again the next day." Liu Zheng happened to know what the corridor was and said, "Liu Yan's tribe set up a 20th class Baron and learned that the Qin army must build a corridor every war. Where did he get that knowledge?"

Liu Zheng was wrong in some places. Although the corridor was one of the "patents" of the Qin army, it was the product of the first emperor. The previous Qin kings or Qin Jun had no similar products. It is said that the corridor was created by Qin general Meng Tian, but I don't know whether it is true or not.

No matter who founded the corridor, the Allied forces have suffered enough. The Hu people who participated in this war had enough status to make up their mind early. In addition to learning the band shooting of the bow and arrow soldiers of the Han Dynasty, they also had to learn how to build corridors in wartime.

As a matter of fact, the Allied forces have begun to do so. They have drawn roads in various camps, almost completely copying the methods of the Han ministry, and established one corridor after another. It is because of the tight time and the quality... I'm afraid it's not very good.

The Allied forces are gloomy. It has been agreed that if they can't capture the secret city within a month, they will choose to siege and send several partial divisions to attack Changguang County, Donglai county and Dongmou county. They think that the main battle forces of the Han Dynasty have been dispatched, and the interior is empty. To capture those counties, one is to make the war record better, and the other is to capture enough people from the three counties to attack Xiami.

Liu Yan didn't bring his own remote mind reader. Naturally, he didn't know that the coalition had agreed on a time limit. By observing the map in his mind, he knew that Xu Zheng had led his army into Dong'an County, so there were some opportunities for brewing.

The Han army is not only a partial division, but there are actually four armies in use at present. Apart from the Xiami battlefield, the cavalry led by Xu Zheng who broke into Dong'an County is the first, the Sangyu department left at the border between Gaomi County and Dong'an County is the second, and there is also the third one supported by liao1 East and Chao1 fresh.

Ji Chang is leading the third army to March, not on land, but by sea. He will go directly from Zishui, which connects the Bohai Sea, to Judian Lake (the east of modern Guangrao), then go down the muddy water to the south, and land directly on the edge of Guanggu city. It is tantamount to a flash attack on Guanggu city. Even if he fails to capture it, he can return by water.

Naturally, Liu Yan would not mention the army along the way of Jichang. After all, if you don't keep secret, you will lose your ministers. Many things inadvertently cause serious consequences.

"The enemy attacked the camp for more than ten days, and the third line of defense was lost yesterday." Liu Yan looked at LV Yi and others who were temporarily transferred and said, "there is only the last line of defense left in the camp. It's time to start building a floating bridge."

It's time to force the coalition. The recent weakness of the coalition offensive is not what Liu Yan wants to see.

People have fewer flaws in defense. Once the attack is unavoidable, more flaws will be exposed. In fact, it is the same truth for the army.

Liu Yan could roughly judge that the morale of the coalition army continued to decline, but it was far from the time when the Han ministry turned defense into attack. It was like preparing a group of troops that day, but in the end, because the timing was wrong, it was just preparation, and he didn't say that it was lost in vain.

The Han Dynasty wrote a script and set up a stage, but after all, they are not really acting. Yao Jiajun and Qingzhou army will not really act according to the script. What Liu Yan and others can do is to observe the situation, make corresponding changes and force the enemy to make a choice.

Liu Zheng, Yao LAN and others finally smiled when they learned that the faltering camp began to build a floating bridge.

"It doesn't seem to hold." Wang Teng frowned and said, "it's just... The situation is still wrong."

The garrison of the Han Army in the camp began to build floating bridges today, which indicates that they could build floating bridges before. As the attacking party, we should think about why they did not build floating bridges before.

"Is there any Han reinforcements on the east bank?" Liu Zheng gave the most likely answer.

"No, No." Yao LAN can replace Yao Jing, the blood of Yao's family, and become the military leader. Naturally, his ability will not be poor. Some detailed arrangements may not be forgotten. He said: "our army has been wandering on the east bank. If we find that the Han reinforcements will notify us in the form of wolf smoke."

Liu Zheng had to ask, "are they scattered scouts?"

Yao LAN nodded: "of course."

Well, scattered scouts are distributed. Even if they kill some, there will always be fish caught. They will gather in batches at the agreed time. As long as they are found to be reduced, they will strengthen the investigation and always transmit the information, not to mention the means of wolf smoke warning.

Yao Jing asked, "when will Liu Gong's reinforcements arrive?"

"It will take half a month as soon as possible, but at the latest..." Liu Zheng would not say anything. He shook his head and continued: "even if the reinforcements come, they can only be responsible for the siege."

Most of the troops in guanggucheng, the capital of Qingzhou, had long been taken out by Liu Zheng. The rest were the ones that could not be moved lightly in any case, so the reinforcements could only be local family armed forces.

It will be difficult for the regular army to attack the city these days. Liu Zheng is not like the two brothers of the Yao family who have a good father. It is impossible to push the local private soldiers or young animals into the knife. Really, it can only be transferred to siege rather than consume in large quantities.

Speaking of cannon fodder, Liu Zheng asked the two brothers of the Yao family. Unexpectedly, Yao Jing immediately shut up, but Yao LAN hesitated to tell some truth.

Yao Jing came from Yanzhou and photographed Yao Yizhong's reputation. Along the way, there were too many families who wanted to curry favor with Yao Jing and embrace the Yao family. First, Yao Jing gathered a number of troops, and then Yao Jing coerced and coerced a large number. In fact, someone had complained to Xiang. The two brothers were warned by the family, but they didn't dare to harm places so recklessly, So there are no reinforcements.

"Duke Liu, you must know that my two brothers came to Qingzhou to cut off ran min's wings?" Yao LAN talked nonsense solemnly: "now Fei Yan and others are rebellious, and some people below the Han Dynasty commit crimes... You also declare Liu Yan rebellious, so..."

Liu Zheng announced that Liu Yan was rebellious, but he did not take the whole Han Dynasty into it. According to the previous routine, there should be civil strife in the Han Dynasty. Liu Yan killed a group of people, or others killed Liu Yan, or no one could kill who fell into infighting. However, the previous routine did not work in the Han Dynasty.

"Attack. In short, take down the camp and block Liu Yandong." Liu Zheng added, "I have already played in the imperial court and asked to dispatch troops from the neighboring counties of Jizhou and Yanzhou, and there will be a reply in a few days."

The two brothers of the Yao family looked at each other. They were stunned and gloated at the same time.

Obviously, the scale of the war is getting larger and larger. Liu Yan's rebellious identity can never escape.

Liu Zheng is not entirely because of Liu Yan's problem. Liu Yan is a scourge, but it seems that Liu Yan with very few troops is just a scourge. For Qingzhou, the more dangerous ones are Guo Xiang and others in Xuzhou, that is, Shi Zun's camp.

Liu Zheng originally wanted to rely on the rapid elimination of Feiyan and other rebels to frighten Guo Xiang and others. Later, Feiyan fled without hesitation, leaving the Han ministry in the posture of confrontation in Xiami city. Liu Zheng can only put the target of elimination on Liu Yan's army. Liu Zheng expected another wrong thing, that is, although Liu Yanbing has little power, it is not easy to bite, but it is too late to wait to find out this fact. Liu Zheng, who is difficult to ride a tiger, can only "ask for help outside the court".
