"Your Majesty. This time the emperor attacked Lanzhou City with great momentum. I also joined in the fun and organized five thousand elite troops. They have now crossed the river and are on their way here."
As soon as Guan Chaoqiang sat down, he held up his hands and explained his purpose.
"Is it cavalry or infantry?" Wu Min's eyes lit up and he asked.
"Infantry." Guan Chaoqiang replied with a smile.
"Okay." Wu Min said with a smile: "When my father attacked Gansu, he had many cavalry but few infantry. Lord Guan led 5,000 infantry to come for reinforcements, which is really more powerful than a tiger."
Guan Chaoqiang clasped his fists slightly.
same day. Wu Min left Guan Chaoqiang to stay overnight in the camp the next afternoon. Guan Chao's powerful army arrived outside Lanzhou City and joined the Han army.
at the same time.
The cavalry and infantry of the Han army, totaling 70,000 households, gradually gathered and set up camp in the west, south, and east of Lanzhou City, surrounding the city.
This morning.
Wu Nian led General Feng Chong and the emperor's ministers to the southern military camp of the Han army.
Wu Min led the generals to line up at the camp gate to greet him.
Wu Nian stepped on the small bench, got off the carriage, looked up, and excused everyone. Wu Nian's eyes fell on Guan Chaoqiang's face, and he said with a smile: "Master Guan, I owe you a lot of credit for pacifying Gansu."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Guan Chaoqiang showed joy and bowed.
Wu Nian nodded, without saying anything else, and motioned for everyone to enter the military camp together and sit down in the tent.
Wu Nian put his right hand on the armrest of the Grand Master's chair, with a very casual posture, and said: "Now I have an army of nearly one hundred thousand. But there are still tens of thousands of Gansu warriors in Lanzhou City. The city is tall and solid, and there are mountains of food and grass. I have also heard. Han Laocheng also asked for help from the Turks, the Chu State, and the Slavs respectively. If you have any strategies or ideas, tell them."
"Father, the main force of the Han army is currently in the Hetao area. The Slavs can't move. The only reinforcements from Chu are Lu Jing from Bashu. Whether he dares to send troops or not is a question. Only the Turks need to be on guard. Er Chen suggested. I led Zhao Guogong, General Feng, across the Yellow River and went straight to Yumen Pass to stop the Turks."
"Father led the rest of the troops to besiege Lanzhou."
Wu Min stood up, with a loud and impressive voice.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qi is right. But in this way, Lanzhou City will become an isolated city. I am afraid that Han Laocheng is determined to defend the city and Lanzhou City will not be defeated in a year. It is better to follow the current layout and divide the south, east, and west of the city. Encircle the west of the city and leave a way out. Attack Lanzhou City day and night. Make Han Laocheng afraid and flee Lanzhou City. Fight quickly."
Hojo Ushimasa stood up and first praised Wu Min, but then gave his own opinion.
Wu Min frowned slightly and said, "In this case, wouldn't Han Laocheng be let go?"
"As long as we win Gansu, Han Laocheng will be insignificant. What's more, after Han Laocheng escapes, we can send cavalry to chase him. It may be too late."
Hojo Umasagi raised his hand and said.
Wu Min couldn't defeat him and looked up at Wu Nian.
Everyone in the tent nodded slightly.
Two roads.
Send troops to Yumen Pass to prevent the Turks from advancing eastward. He occupied the entire territory of Gansu and besieged Lanzhou City.
Han Laocheng will definitely fight against the trapped beast. When the time comes, he will attack the city for many years and suffer heavy casualties.
Surrounded by three and one missing, Han Laocheng was shaken and escaped from Lanzhou City to make a quick decision.
It doesn't matter which path you choose.
After Wu Nian thought for a long time, he raised his head and said, "Hojo is right. Han Laocheng is insignificant as long as the few occupy Gansu and implement benevolent policies. Even if Han Laocheng has roots in Gansu, can he still counterattack? The lives of the Han people are the most important thing. important."
"A quick victory is best."
"Show off your momentum, attack the city tomorrow, and kill him in fear."
At the end of the sentence, Wu Nian had a sharp look in his eyes and said with murderous intent.
"yes."
Seeing that Wu Nian had made up his mind, everyone put aside their prejudices and shouted in agreement.
...........
Lanzhou City.
The heavily guarded palace.
In the side hall.
Han Laocheng was wearing royal robes and sitting on the throne, accompanied by eunuchs on the left and right. Below, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs stands.
Han Laocheng said in a deep voice: "The spies are here to report. Wu Nian has arrived outside the city. The Han army will attack the city as early as tomorrow."
"The Lone King has received the news. The Turks are already on the way. It only takes half a month to reach Lanzhou City. With the help of the Turks, the Han army is nothing. When the time comes to regain the land, Xiliang Kingdom will still be Xiliang Kingdom."
"My lords, as long as you all work bravely and defend the city to the death, I will not treat you badly."
"Yes." When the civil and military officials heard this, they immediately gained courage and responded loudly.
"Yes." Han Laocheng nodded slightly and let everyone go down.
"Huh." Han Laocheng exhaled a long breath, with a wry smile on his face.
He didn't know when the Turks would come to Gansu.
What he just said was nonsense.
It's a stopgap measure.
There is no other way to boost morale and let the generals and soldiers defend the city to the death.
...........
The sky is still bright.
Smoke rose from the three Han army camps outside Lanzhou City. The Huotou Army buried the pot to make rice, sweating profusely from the heat.
Soon after, the Han army's infantry fought.
That is, the tens of thousands of soldiers under the command of Xiao Yu and three other Qi kings, Wu Min. Under the organization of the officer, I started to get up and wash up in an orderly manner, and then took the dishes and chopsticks to have breakfast.
After it gets dark. The gates of the three Han army camps were opened, and heavy siege equipment was pushed and pulled out.
Immediately, the Han infantry soldiers exited the camp gate in an orderly manner and lined up neatly.
South Military Camp, on the gate of the camp. Wu Nian was wearing heavy armor and led his civil and military ministers to stand on the city gate to watch the siege.
General Xiao Yu led the troops in front.
"Shaanxi men. The emperor is watching the battle at the camp gate. Whoever has made a contribution will be clearly known to the emperor. Today is the day to make a contribution."
Xiao Yu galloped between the military formations on horseback and roared loudly.
"Yes." The Han soldiers roared in unison, their blood boiling.
It’s not just about making achievements.
They are all from Shaanxi. They all know what the drought was like in Shaanxi last year. If the emperor hadn't sent food to provide relief, I don't know how many people would have died in Shaanxi.
The human heart is made of flesh.
Since they join the army, they are not afraid of death. I am also willing to die anywhere for the Emperor of Han Dynasty.
on the contrary.
If they dare to become deserters, even if they go back to their hometown, they will not have the face to meet their parents.
After he was ready, Xiao Yu galloped to the camp gate on his own, clasped his fists and reported: "Your Majesty, I am ready."
"Beat the drums and attack the city." Wu Nian waved his hand and ordered.
"yes."
Xiao Yu responded, pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, returned to the military formation, and shouted: "The emperor has an order to attack the city."
"Dong dong dong!!!!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The sound of the cowhide drum shook the sky.
The long horn is extremely penetrating.
"Kill!!!" The Han soldiers all roared, pushing and pulling the siege vehicles towards Lanzhou City.
