Chapter 776

Wind camp. (-< >-Net) Chinese military account. In this siege, not only Tang Yin was defeated, but many generals in the Feng Army were also defeated, including Shangguan Yuanrang and Jiang Fan.

At this time, all the generals gathered in the central military tent, but the scene was completely silent, silent and subdued.

"Your Majesty has arrived ---" Following the singing of the guards, Tang Yin walked in from outside. All the generals stood up one after another, stepped in to salute, and said in unison: "Your Majesty!"

Tang Yin waved his hands slightly to everyone, and then, supported by Yin Lan, he slowly sat down behind Shuai An. He first looked around at everyone and asked: "What do you think of today's battle? What about the defense of Guankou City?"

Shangguan Yuanrang and Jiang Fan looked at each other, lowered their heads and remained silent. Although both of them attacked the city, like Tang Yin, they were eventually driven back by the An army. Naturally, they both felt ashamed.

Qi Heng scratched his cheek and said in a deep voice: "The An army's city defense was too strong. The last general followed the new army in a strong attack. Que didn't even reach the edge of the city. He charged several times, but was pushed back by the An army. ..."

Tang Yin took a deep breath and said seriously: "Anjun's city defense is indeed very strong. There are two layers of inner and outer city walls. Man-made natural dangers are easy to defend but difficult to attack. In addition, Anjun's city defense resource reserves are also a headache."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Qi Hengshen understood, and he continued: "It seems that Anjun's city defense resources can't be used up no matter how much they are used. Missing arrows, stone bullets, rolling logs, pounding stones, and kerosene are all being used in Weiwai. Damn it, plus An Jun is wearing fine steel armor and there are so many rangers among them, it will be too difficult for our army to attack by force. "

Tang Yin nodded. If he had not personally participated in the battle, he would have thought that what Qi Heng said was an excuse for Tangsai. In fact, as Qi Heng said, it would be far more difficult to conquer this humble pass city than before. It was much more difficult than Fang imagined.

He glanced sideways at Yin Lan beside him and waved to her. -< >-The latter understood and hurriedly pulled out a roll of paper from his sleeve. Tang Yin raised his head and motioned for her to pass it around. Yin Lan responded and handed the scroll to Xiao Tomuqing for review.

Tang Yin explained: "This is the topographic map of Guankou City that I just drew. Let's take a look at it first!"

Yo! This is important information! Everyone's eyes lit up at the same time, and they stretched their necks to look at the scroll in Xiao Muqing's hand.

After Xiao Muqing unfolded the scroll, he lowered his head and looked carefully. After taking a look, he saw that the generals present were looking at him. He waved to everyone and said, "Let's all take a look!"

Everyone left their seats one after another and gathered around Xiao Muqing. The so-called topographic map was drawn very simply. The city wall was just a line, and many circles were drawn inside the city, each of which was marked by Tang Yin.

The largest circle is in the center of the city. When Tang Yin drew it, he purposely thickened the circle here and marked it with the words "City Lord's Mansion".

When the generals were watching attentively, Tang Yin explained: "According to the information I have received, all the grain, grass and city defense resources of Guankou City are stored in the city lord's palace. What do you think?"

Hearing this, everyone frowned. Xiao Muqing asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you, how big is the city lord's palace in Guankou City?"

Tang Yin said expressionlessly: "Guankou is just a small town, how big can the City Lord's Mansion be? Compared with the City Lord's Mansion in other places, I'm afraid it's even smaller."

Xiao Muqing smiled bitterly and said: "The size of the City Lord's Mansion is not large, and the City Lord's Mansion in Guankou City is even smaller than the normal size. How could it be possible to hoard so much food, grass and supplies? Is the news from the King... .Wrong?"

Tang Yin said indifferently: "You should understand that the information I got is absolutely correct." This information was not obtained through the confessions of the enemy soldiers, but directly from the memories of the enemy soldiers who were sucked by him. , how could it be fake?

Of course, how can a small city lord's palace hoard the food and fodder for a hundred thousand troops and the city defense resources of the entire pass city? This was something Tang Yin couldn't understand, and through the memories of those Anjun soldiers, he couldn't find the answer at all.

"So, Guankou City is too weird." Xiao Muqing murmured while shaking his head. He knew that the soul of the Dark Fire burned fiercely. If the king's information was correct, it would not make sense at all.

After thinking for a long time, Ziying asked: "Your Majesty, are there any signs of shortage of rolling logs, beating stones and traitors in Guankou City?"

Tang Yin shook his head and said: "It's very abundant, at least that's what Zhang Murong, the governor of Kawakou County, said. He also sent an order to the entire army. There is no need to save when defending the city. Even if it is consumed day and night, the city defense resources of Guankou City are enough for several people." months or even years.”

"How is that possible?" Ziying and other generals looked at each other in disbelief.

"What's even more incredible is that there are actually many living animals in the city lord's palace. The An army's regiments can eat meat and vegetables and drink broth almost every day. The food is better than that of our army!"

Tang Yin was happy, and he was happy. Could it be that the City Lord's Mansion in Guankou City was still a bag of heaven and earth? Is there another cave inside?

It was a pity that the soldiers and generals he had absorbed were not of a high enough level to enter the interior of the city lord's palace, and he could not understand what was going on inside.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the An army is really well prepared to fight a long and fierce battle with our army in Guankou City."

"Yes! However, An's army can afford it, but our army cannot. The situation behind the scenes must be calmed down as soon as possible no matter what. There cannot be any remnants of An's army." Tang Yin clenched his fists and said: "I The idea is this, since the An army has piled up all the grain, grass and materials in the city main palace, and Guankou City is a small city, can our army arrange a trebuchet under the city and use the trebuchet's stone bullets to directly hit it? Destroy the city lord’s palace!”

When people heard this, their glasses lit up at first, and then they all shook their heads, feeling that this was unrealistic.

First of all, all the stone bullets of our own armies can be used up. Secondly, and most importantly, even if the pass is a small city, if you want to use a trebuchet to directly hit the city lord's palace in the center of the city, the trebuchet must at least be advanced to the pass. near the city walls.

At such a close distance, the defenders' arrow array can completely cover their own trebuchets. If rockets are used again, the trebuchets will be damaged as much as the trebuchets are advanced, and none of them will be able to stand firm, let alone Said it was firing stone projectiles.

Seeing all the generals shaking their heads, Tang Yin cheered up and said, "No matter whether you can succeed or not, you should give it a try first!"

"But Your Majesty, our army's stone bullets have been used up in the siege battle a few days ago..." Qi Heng continued awkwardly.

"Our army's live ammunition is gone. You can go to the battlefield to collect the stone bullets shot by the An army. Furthermore, not far from our army's camp are Mount Makino and Mount Kuotou. Can't you organize brothers to collect them on the spot? Don't do it on the battlefield. Make excuses with me and do it right away!”

Qi Heng was scolded by Tang Yin and nodded in agreement, not daring to say another word.

Xiao Muqing, Ziying and others thought about it seriously, and it seems that this is the only way they can do it now. Let's treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor. Even if all their own trebuchets are destroyed, they can only destroy the city lord's palace at the pass. The next battle will be It became a piece of cake.

When Tang Yin was about to leave the accounts, Qi Heng suddenly remembered something and asked: Has the king got any news about Mr. Yu in the An army? "

Poof! Tang Yin smiled, shook his head and said: "The generals of Anjun only heard of Mr. Yu by name, but never met him. Yu, a superfluous person, I am afraid that Mr. Yu does not exist at all, that is just a certain person." A pseudonym for a shady person!"

Qi Heng blinked and asked in a solemn voice: "Who does the king think this person is?"

Tang Yin shrugged and said calmly: "It can be any person or group of people who can't get along with me. It doesn't matter who he is. The most important thing now is to break through the pass city as soon as possible!"

The war against An has been delayed for too long, and Tang Yin does not want to waste it any longer. If the Guankou City cannot be captured for a long time, the hundreds of thousands of Sichuan troops on the border of Sichuan will not defend the territory of Sichuan. I am afraid that they will be attacked at any time. Counterattack into Andi and seize the strategic location of Guankou City.

In accordance with Tang Yin's order, the soldiers of the Feng Army collected stone bullets on the battlefield, and a large number of soldiers went to Makuno Mountain and Kuitou Mountain to collect rocks and make stone bullets.

During this period of time, the Feng army gave up the siege, and all the soldiers rested peacefully in the military camp. The spies of the Feng Army were not idle. They often bypassed Guankou City and sneaked to the border between Andi and Sichuan to monitor the movements of the Sichuan Army.

In the past few days, Tang Yin and Feng Jiang had conducted several detailed studies on the internal topographic map of Guankou City, but they could not find anything out of the ordinary.

To put it bluntly, Guankou City is a large military fortress with no civilians inside. There are no residents, they are all military camps. The generals who command the troops usually live in the city lord's palace, but now the county governor Zhang Murong lives there.

Ever since Zhang Murong moved in, the City Lord's Mansion has become extremely strict. Except for a few of Zhang Murong's cronies, no one else can enter the City Lord's Mansion at all.

Tang Yin was 100% sure that there must be something fishy in the City Lord's Mansion, but he had no way of knowing where it was. After thinking about it, he still felt that directly destroying the City Lord's Mansion was the most worry-free and most direct and effective.

Of course, there are great difficulties in doing this. How to push the trebuchet near the city wall and withstand An Jun's arrow formation became the most headache for him.

After discussing with the generals, they finally came up with a pretty good idea, wrapping the trebuchet with iron sheets to defend against possible rockets used by the enemy.

It was impossible to find so much iron sheet temporarily, but Tang Yin had a way and directly requisitioned the steel armor worn by the Pingyuan Army.

When the Pingyuan Army supported Anguo's resistance to the Huan Army, it received military support from Anguo. The entire army wore Anguo's steel helmets and armor, which came in handy now.
