Chapter 49: Three Gus Wuchang

?A thunder exploded from the top of Fanshan Mountain on a sunny day. Yuwen Wen looked up and saw that the tower on the top of Fanshan Mountain disappeared in the thick smoke. After the Chen army "recovered" Wuchang for the second time, the camp that Fanshan Shou had finally built was gone on on the top of Fanshan Mountain. The Chen army soldiers stationed there were not dead and were captured by the Zhou army. ≥>

Yuwen Wen used up all the fire medicine he had worked hard to save for a year. He used all his skills to exhaust the black weapons he had saved in one battle. He didn't know when he would set off fireworks so generously next time.

There is very little sulfur in the Shannan states, so it’s not the turn of Yuwen Wen-yong to save it, even if he doesn’t make any sense to scan his face, he still gets a small amount of sulfur by relying on the wine and meat circle built by selling glass mirrors. As for the nitride, it’s about scraping the toilet. The derivatives on the earthen walls of the pigpen and the local nitride piled up the nitride are now only that little ‘yield’.

"Sulphur is getting harder to deal with. I don't know if I can save enough next year." Yuwen Wen said to himself. He is now standing at the head of the east gate of Wuchang and watching the large landslide in the southeast corner of the city wall.

Most half a month ago, he buried a nail in the city "just for granted". The walls of Wuchang City were made of rammed earth and bricks, so he came with a bomb to cover bricks, lifted the floor tiles from the top of the city wall and dug the soil until a carefully prepared fire barrel was buried about one meter above the base of the wall and set up corresponding mechanisms.

Today, the arson bombs dropped by the castle chariots in the siege fell on the part of the wall where the fire was buried and the medicine barrel was buried. After burning to a certain extent, the medicine barrel finally rumbled the city wall to create favorable conditions for Zhou soldiers to rush into the city.

During the 'Rumor', the city wall collapsed, causing heavy casualties between Chen's soldiers on the top of the city and behind the city wall. The Zhou soldiers who rushed in defeated the defenders as they did last time and then expanded their results and finally captured Wuchang. More than 30,000 Chen's soldiers, together with food and supplies, were caught in a jar.

After deducting the spoils distributed to friendly forces, Yuwen Wen made a fortune this time. Not only did he add thousands of strong prisoners, but he also obtained a large amount of food and grass. The deficit caused by the Hulin Army was finally blocked.

"Empress, the plank road has been set up, and the warships are berthing will soon be able to take the prisoners across the north of the Yangtze River." The army leader Liang Dingxing came forward to report that he successfully broke the city today, according to the "convention", he naturally wanted to bring all the prisoners back. Although this kind of fighting style is similar to robbery, everyone was happy to be able to easily capture Wuchang City.

"Master Liang Jun, after transporting people and food, start demolishing the city walls. How much can you do?"

Liang Dingxing responded and retreated. Yuwen Wen continued to stand at the top of the city and looked down at Wuchang City. This was his third time to capture Wuchang, but he still couldn't stand because Chen Jun's strength was not that weak.

Just from defending the city, he had the confidence to withstand the first half of the year, but this was meaningless. The Sui army in the northwest was the enemy. Therefore, the main force of the Zhou army could not fall into an endless tug-of-war in Yingzhou, Jiangnan, and then sending troops to resist in Wuchang would become useless. If the economic calculation is calculated, it would be even more unpaid.

According to detailed information, Chen Jun was working hard to build a warship. Although the navy's strength was not something that could be restored overnight, the more it was dragged back, the harder it would be to control the Yangtze River channel. Yuwen Wen could not guarantee that he could win a water battle every time, so he didn't want to consume too much energy in Wuchang.

With Chen's current national strength and military strength, Wuchang will definitely not tolerate the Zhou Dynasty's hands. The Zhou army's preservation of Wuchang would only consume a lot of manpower and material resources, and the big one would have to come to the governor of Bazhou, so it was not cost-effective at all.

The purpose of brushing Chen State's dungeon is to make money and grain, and there are people who are "income-generating". If the purpose has been achieved, he can withdraw. Although it is hard to say whether there are 10,000 real soldiers among the Chen army, it is hard to say whether there are 10,000 real soldiers, but the rest of the people recruited are not much less useful to bring them back to Jiangbei. Only when they are strong, they will slowly plan.

"The distance is so close but I can't grasp it, so I can only wait for the future." Yuwen Wen glanced at the mountains far south and then walked down the city. Of course, he wanted it, but what he thought about day and night was the place he had just looked at.

......

In Xiakou, in the tent, Fan Yi, deputy commander of Chen Jun, was discussing military affairs with the generals. The news just came that made everyone look as if they were ashen: The official army has recovered Wuchang. It was originally a gratifying thing, but it was like a loud slap on everyone's face.

This was the Zhou army's three visits to Wuchang, but they had no choice but to leave it alone. The second time Wuchang only stayed in less than half a day before it fell, and more than 20,000 garrison troops and food and supplies were captured.

Then the third time, Wuchang City, with more than 30,000 troops, still couldn't stand it for a few days. According to the news I just received, when reinforcements arrived, they saw an empty city, and people, money and food were gone.

As for where to go, you don’t have to think about it, you know that you were captured in Jiangbei. The key is that Wuchang City is like the territory of the Zhou army, and the government can’t stop him. The last time Wuchang fell was because the city wall was left by the Zhou army, but what was the reason this time?

Could it be that the Zhou army was a heavenly soldier and general who came down to earth and ended up with 30,000 Chen army could not defeat him, so he surrendered?

The report to the court was that the Wuchang defenders and Zhou army, which were several times more powerful, lost their bloody battles and the city. Fortunately, reinforcements fought bloody battles to retake them. This time, they could do this, but the general's face was put away. Just like a husband watching his wife and daughter being humiliated again and again by the thief, he was powerless to do anything. A sense of humiliation surged into everyone's hearts.

"Everyone." Fan Yi took the lead in speaking, "As the generals of the court, we cannot protect the country and the people, and we cannot bear the worries of the emperor, and what are the faces we have to report to the court to regain Wuchang!!"

"This time, the Zhou army once again invaded the border in the south. Wuchang alone had lost nearly 60,000 people and nearly 800,000 stones of food and grass!"

"The losses of the other Anjiang Forts were no less than 10,000 people, and the cumulative losses of food and grass have exceeded one million stones!"

"Can't there be no one in our army that can't block the Zhou army's claws!"

After a while, the generals were excited and asked to cross the Yangtze River north to Bazhou, Jiangbei to fight to the death with the Zhou army. As the saying goes, there is no reason to defend against thieves for thousands of days. Always dispersing troops to deploy defenses along the Jiangnan River and let the Zhou army attack and plunder. It is really unbearable.

According to the information from meticulous investigations, the Zhou army went south this time, mainly the troops of the Huangzhou General Administration of Jiangbei. The attack locations were all in Bazhou, Jiangbei. The one who led the troops to fight was Yuwen Wen, the governor of Bazhou.

The one-legged bronze man Yuwen Wen, who killed King Shixing Chen Shuling, "Decisive Battle at the Top of Xiyang"!

It is said that this villain likes to eat human flesh and is cruel, bloodthirsty and extremely lustful. He thought he was just an unscrupulous playboy. He had never expected that he would harm Da Chen, but he was so vicious. Wuchang was like a bloody wound that had just scabbed but was torn apart by him one after another, causing heavy bleeding. This villain could not eliminate the hatred in the hearts of the generals.

Fan Yi was quite pleased to see that everyone was eager to fight. He said that crossing the river and going north should be cautious because the navy has not yet recovered its strength, so the priority is to ensure the safety of the south of the Yangtze River. The defense line from Xiakou to Wuchang through Yanji to Xisai must be strengthened.

It was upstream Bazhou reinforcements to increase the troops of Wuchang City to 50,000. The main camps and sentry forts along the way were rebuilt. The soldiers were stationed and then deployed field forces to ensure the smooth road. If the Zhou army invaded the south again, they must let him return empty-handed.

All these arrangements require someone to take the lead. After hearing what the deputy commander said, the generals were eager to win the lead. They held their energy to defeat the abominable behavior of the Zhou army attacking everywhere, and it would be best to keep the invading Zhou army forever in Jiangnan.
