The encounter was just an appetizer. It was obvious that the Hu tribe did not try their best. After half an hour of fighting, the entire army began to retreat.
"Ming Jin withdraws his troops!"
Instead of pursuing the victory, Liang Jun suspended the offensive and reorganized his troops, leaving only a group of logistics to assist the wounded while the main force continued to advance.
An hour later, Chitong City came into view. Deer thorns and caltrops were scattered in front of the city. Iron gates were added to the city gates. Hu soldiers occupied the trenches, as if in a defensive posture.
"General Chachai, long time no see!" Song Che smiled and waved hello.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Even though the city wall responded to a few flying arrows, they were cut off by Jiang Yuntian's sword energy, and then he cursed on the wall:
"Song, if I had known I should have smashed your head with one palm!"
"Hahaha……"
It was rare to win a battle, so of course he had to ridicule. Song Che raised his head and laughed: "If I killed you back in Aurous Hill, you wouldn't have the right to bark in front of me now... Things that shouldn't have happened in the past will also happen now. , in my opinion, it is better to put aside the past grudges and surrender to Kaicheng, and I can report it to the emperor and make you a general!"
"You ungrateful thing, stop farting!" Chachai changed the subject and shouted to Jiang Yuntian and others:
"Commanders of Daliang, this pretty boy in front of your formation not only married a princess in our capital, but also helped us build the city wall... He is a duplicitous traitor. You must never trust him!"
"Song Che, you...did you really marry the princess of their Hu country?" Ning Yehong grabbed Song Che's arm and asked.
Song Che said bitterly: "I was a prisoner at that time. Even if they asked me to marry a sow, I had to obey."
Lin Yue curled her lips: "Thankfully we were still worried about your death. I didn't expect you to be as carefree as in Hu State!"
"It has to be Brother Song. He has taken soft tricks all the way to Hu State. That's awesome!" Jiang Yuntian gave a thumbs up and loudly asked the soldiers behind the formation:
"Brothers, this princess of the Hu Kingdom has been carried to bed by our military advisor. Do you think our military advisor is good at it? Come on, come on, shout with me: 'Commander Bai, you are very capable, marry Hu Niu,' Show off your country's prestige, prepare to... shout!"
"Commander Bai, you have great skills. Marry Hu Niu and enhance the country's prestige!"
The whole army shouted in unison, "It's okay for those barbarians who can't understand the official language, but everyone who can understand is blushing with anger."
"Are you angry? Come out of the city when you are angry and challenge the general!" Jiang Yuntianjian pointed at Chachai and shouted provocatively: "I heard that you bullied my brother in Dafa, and threatened to kill me on the battlefield. , I will give you a chance today, if you dare to come down and fight me!"
Chachai hammered the city wall angrily, turned around and was about to fight, but the adjutant at the side held him down and whispered something.
"How about it? You are tall and powerful, but you are as timid as a mouse? Are you a rat from the Hu tribe, a turtle with a shrinking head? Get out of the city and die!" Jiang Yuntian provoked again.
"Hu clan rats! Shrunk turtles!"
"Hu clan rats! Shrunk turtles!"
The whole army yelled!
"Ah ah ah..." Chachai yelled angrily: "Liang people, if you don't have orders from everyone to ask me to defend this city, I will go out of the city today and tear you to pieces! Just wait for me! Just wait for me. !”
It seemed that they were determined to defend the city.
Song Che stopped cursing and waved. Three artillery pieces were pushed to the front of the formation and bombarded the city gate. However, it was obvious that the city gate had been reinforced and the cannonballs could not blast it open.
Song Che called a halt to the artillery fire. This was just a probing attack. The enemy was determined to defend the city and it would be difficult to break in. They had to find another way to break the city.
"retreat."
Liang Jun retreated twenty miles, and set up outposts at ten miles. At fifteen and twenty miles, three camps were stationed on the left, center and right, facing Chitong City across the plain.
In addition to guarding Chitong City, the enemy also set up a camp in the northeast to prevent Liang Jun from attacking the city from behind on the right wing. On Chitong's left wing was the turbulent Liang River, and on the other side of the Liang River was the raised hilly area. …
As long as the enemy does not take the initiative to attack, even if Liang Jun has artillery, it will be difficult to break through the city. Since the air flow on the prairie is generally northeasterly, hot air balloon bombing must have a westerly wind to achieve.
After Liang Jun camped outside the city, he would fire several rounds of artillery into the city every hour. Even if they did not cause casualties, they would not sleep well. Then, twice every morning and evening, they would take turns going to the city to yell and curse. From generation to generation, Liang Jun would Scolding the ancestors down to the eighteenth generation, and then scolding the next generation from the eighteenth generation...
In recent years, the Hu people have become almost invincible and have never suffered such humiliation. Song Che was also surprised that they could endure the abuse.
"Rumble..."
In mid-February, there were thunder and lightning and heavy rain.
After this spring rain, the grassland will completely recover.
"It seems that this heavy rain will not stop for four or five days. There is too much rain and the cannons cannot fire. It is not an option to continue in this stalemate." Jiang Yuntian sat behind the coffee table, looking at the heavy rain outside the tent and couldn't bear to feel melancholy.
"There must be a road for a car to reach the mountain, and it will be straight for a boat to reach the bridge." Song Che picked up the teapot on the stove, made a cup of hot tea for Jiang Yuntian, and pushed it gently, "God is not good, and no one can come in a hurry. .”
Jiang Yuntian shook his head and pushed the tea back impatiently, "It's been almost half a month. If I don't move around anymore, not to mention the gunpowder getting wet, my body will be as rusty as the weapons... Up and down the road We are also in the same situation, being resisted by the barbarians and unable to move forward. These hundreds of thousands of soldiers are just like us. As the attacking party, isn't it a disguised failure?"
The more he talked, the more anxious he became. He wanted to go out to see if the rain had subsided, but he had just opened the tent door. "Wow..." A handful of water splashed all over his face. There was a large puddle of water in front of the tent, calling him. No way to start.
"about!"
"General...what are your orders?"
"Look what this is!" Jiang Yuntian pointed at the beach at the door and angrily shouted, "Do you want me to paddle in it?"
The guards on the left and right said bitterly: "General, we just cleaned up a quarter of an hour ago, but the rain was so heavy that it fell on your tent and dripped down like a waterfall, and we couldn't block it... "
"You still dare to complain! If you don't dry up the beach, won't you fill it up? Believe it or not, I will beat you up!" Jiang Yuntian raised his fist, but unfortunately, the general was furious.
The guards on the left and right are mutes who eat Coptis chinensis and cannot express their suffering.
"Okay, okay, we can't blame them. If we can only blame God, we can only blame God for his kidney failure, frequent urination, urgent urination and incontinence." Song Che walked over with a smile and said to the two people around him: "You find a group of people and go to the river. I'll go haul some sand and gravel back and fill in the holes if there are any. It's better than stepping in and getting your shoes wet."
The man on the left said: "No, military advisor, you are often in the military camp and don't know that the heavy rains in recent days have caused the Lianghe River to flood violently. If we continue to dig sand and gravel, if the dam breaks, the water will overflow!" "
"oh?"
Song Che squinted his eyes and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he dragged Jiang Yuntian out of the tent:
"Come on, let's go to the river and have a look. Maybe we can find a way to break the city!"
