Chapter 5903 Taking the bait
"No matter how ferocious their traitors are, they will still lose this battle." He Anyi smiled and said, "If we can't persuade them to surrender, we can attack by force when our new weapons arrive."
"Is it the bronze artillery shipped from the Beijing Science and Technology Park?" Jiang Wulang knew the inside story, but he only knew a rough idea. It is said that the power of this bronze artillery was greatly improved based on the original artillery. It could only be used at sea. New ships, now more powerful, can be used to attack cities.
I just heard that it is still under development and I don’t know when it will be completed.
"Yes, I just got the news a few days ago that a batch of artillery was secretly transported from the capital via water transport. There are five artillery pieces in total. The gunpowder and shells are enough. It may not be impossible to attack the city gate directly."
He Anyi continued: "As long as the artillery is delivered smoothly, we don't have to think of any strategies. We will blast the city gates with artillery and chase them all the way, so that the pseudo-emperor Qin Hanqing will be unable to fly."
"Okay, let's go back and prepare, and send someone to persuade him to surrender first." Jiang Wulang nodded.
At this time, all the generals were very excited after hearing the news, and their original fear of Fang Yangcheng, a strong city, was completely dissipated.
Turning their horses back to the camp, He Anyi and Jiang Wulang were both in the camp at night, looking at the defense map of Fangyang City.
"An Yi, during the day, you revealed the secret in front of many soldiers. Are there any traitors or traitors in our army?" Jiang Wulang raised his head and asked.
"They are not traitors, they are traitors who have infiltrated into our army. In recent years, our National Defense Army has recruited many good family members from near Tongtian River. Among them, there are traitors who are lurking in the army. I deliberately revealed this this time. The secret is for them to expose themselves." He Anyi stretched out his palm and closed his fingers, everything was under his control.
"Since you knew there was a Chazi, why didn't you capture him early?" Jiang Wulang asked.
"Keeping it will be of great use. It can be used to confuse the enemy at critical moments." He Anyi smiled slightly.
"You can do whatever you want. I don't care about that anyway." Jiang Wulang only led the troops to fight. He Anyi handled many affairs in the army and he didn't care.
When Luo Fengtang was in the army, He Anyi was already handling it.
After Luo Fengtang returned home and intended to hand over the military power, He Anyi's authority increased even more.
Jiang Wulang was Luo Fengtang's martial arts hero, and He Anyi was Luo Fengtang's literary hero.
With He Anyi here, the National Guard Army belongs to Luo Fengtang and no one can take it away.
After a while, a soldier hurriedly entered the camp from outside. He knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists in his hands and said, "Tell General He that the fish has been baited and the news has been passed on."
"Very good. Don't act rashly to alert the enemy. You can just monitor in secret." A smile appeared on He Anyi's face.
"Yes, I obey," the soldier responded immediately.
…
At this time, Fangyang City looked completely in ruins.
There were closed doors everywhere on the street, and no one could be seen except the soldiers. The people who could run had already fled Fang Yang when the war in Jinzhou was not going well.
Those who had made plans earlier knew that Fang Yang was not safe the moment the nearby city was breached and chose to leave.
When the autumn wind blows, the fallen leaves swirl and fall to the ground. The piles of fallen leaves in the corners make it even more desolate.
At this time, in Fangyang City, Fei Xingwei followed Qin and Hanqing to inspect the city defense.
"Your Majesty, our Fang Yang city defense weapons are very reliable, and we are well prepared with gold juice and fierce fire oil. As long as we are prepared to have people dig holes in the ground to catch someone by surprise, the urns under each corner of the city wall are also ready. It can be said to be foolproof. ." Fei Xingwei said with a flattering smile.
Qin Hanqing looked at the many weapons for defending the city on top of the city and had to sigh that the minds of these people were just different.
The Han people spent all their time learning how to ride horses and archery, while these people all spent their time defending the city.
By adding a base to the crossbow, you can swing it up, down, left, and right, or even use a wheel to greatly increase the rate of fire.
He remembered the embarrassment of being almost shot by Fuzi's crossbow at the top of the city.
There are many such crossbow weapons in Fang Yangcheng's arsenal. Qin and Han Qing looked down upon them before, but when faced with the Han cavalry, these things were all a joke!
But now that I think about it, a commander who is not too dim can really make these things work.
"It's easy to talk, Fang Yang can hold it, you have done a great job for Xingwei, I will definitely recommend your contribution to His Majesty." Qin Hanqing patted the pot on the top of the city and said with a smile.
The pot on the top of the city was used to boil water, but the water was not used for drinking. It was used to pour water and burn the enemy soldiers when the Qi army attacked the city.
When Fei Xingwei heard this, his face lit up with joy, and he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the art of war says: if you are ten, you are to surround an enemy, if you are five, you are to attack it, if it is twice the number, fight it, if the enemy is divided, you can divide it, if you are few, you can defend it, if you don't If we can avoid it. Our Han Dynasty has more than 150,000 troops in Fangyang. Is it possible that Jiang Wulang has 1.5 million?"
"As far as I know, it looks similar to ours. You don't have to worry too much about Fang Yang City being breached."
"Then how did Lin'an City be destroyed?" Qin Hanqing said with a sneer.
Qin Bangchao was guarding Lin'an City. Although he was disobedient and went out of the city to see the Qi army's armaments, he was still following the route of holding firm and clearing the country.
The results of it? Hasn't it been taken down yet?
Fei Xingwei's mouth twitched when he heard this!
He got angry when he said this. He was responsible for the defense of Lin'an City. He also knew that the city wall was in disrepair and had an unstable foundation when it was built.
Moreover, he told Qin Bangchao many times that he wanted to strengthen the city wall, but Qin Bangchao didn't take it to heart at all and neither gave him money nor people. How could he strengthen it?
But now everyone blames Fei Xingwei for the destruction of Lin'an City, thinking that he did not defend well!
And there is no way to explain this grievance. Who asked Qin Bangchao to be named Qin, and he was just a Qi man!
"Your Majesty is a sensible person, Qin Bangchao and the others are too stubborn." Fei Xingwei defended in a low voice.
Qin Hanqing laughed loudly when he heard this and looked at Fei Xingwei. He patted Fei Xingwei repeatedly and said, "This time the city defense will be given to you. As long as you can defend it until early winter, I will definitely give you a review of your merits when you return to Anyi Mansion." Reward!"
This requirement is not too much. In early winter, it takes four months and about 122 days, which is the season of heavy snow.
The weather in the north has been generally cold in the past two years, and the days when the river freezes are more than ten days earlier than before.
"Then it's up to you." Fei Xingwei nodded and bowed quickly. Now Qin and Hanqing had entrusted him with all the matters of defending the city. He didn't care about anything except regular inspections.
