Shi Yi sat coldly on the city tower, observing the movements of the Cheng German army opposite him.

Two days ago, Chengde's army arrived at the Hejian Prefecture City. After two days of preparation, today, they finally started to attack the city. Touching the short beard on his chin, there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth. Chengde and Li Che are very famous in daily life, but when they look at it today, they are just a general who is in the middle rules and regulations.

Judging from the opponent's preparation for siege, it is still the same. The soldiers attacked the first time and constantly consumed the strength of the defenders on the city. The soldiers followed and took a fatal blow. Such siege routines are so familiar to veterans like him that they can't be more familiar with. He doesn't need his instructions to deal with it. The generals below can naturally be able to deal with such an attack easily.

Today, the German army will definitely be defeated.

This is not a problem with the combat effectiveness of the opposite Cheng German army, but when the German army bravely advanced and advanced to the Hejian Mansion itself, failure was inevitable.

This time the entire battle process was a major conspiracy against Chengde.

The general's sudden plan has been a virtuous person for a long time.

Zhenwu and Lu Long fought for many years. As Li Ze guessed, Zhenwu became weaker and weaker and Lu Long became stronger and stronger. Wang Feng was finally broken. The general's integration of the Khitan cavalry became the last straw that crushed Wang Feng. Under the threat of the general, he finally surrendered to Lu Long.

As for Henghai, Lu Long did not regard it as an opponent at all. A region where riots and people live in poverty under the rule is not a problem for Lu Long.

But the virtues are different.

Under the policy of supporting the people over the past decade, Chengde has been prosperous and has surged in the population. The economic situation is the best area in the north. Not to mention Lu Long, even Hedong cannot compare.

Lu Long has been fighting for wars over the years. In order to deal with the Khitans, the war has never stopped for more than ten years. It was the war that made the ambition of the Jiedu governor Zhang Zhongwu grow up step by step. The powerful Khitan has now been suppressed by the Lu Long army and cannot raise his head. Some powerful tribes have to fly away to avoid the sharpness of the Lu Long army. Other Khitan tribes that are weak or unwilling to move out of their hometown can only hold on to Lu Long's rule, pay taxes to Lu Long, and send troops to exchange for peace.

After the Khitan was pacified, the general Zhang Zhongwu's eyes naturally turned to the Central Plains.

What a great country!

The court was weak, and the warlords were dividing the drama, each playing their own trumpets and singing their own tunes. No matter how you look at it, they are a rare and great opportunity to plan for kings and overbearing!

Since Zhenwu surrendered, then taking down Chengde, exploring his tentacles deeply into the Central Plains, and using Chengde's wealth and population to make up for Lu Long's current shortcomings is an urgent matter.

As long as you can win Chengde, you can get it at your fingertips.

Gao Pian was in charge of Hedong, and he was strong and could not conquer it in a short period of time. However, with Zhenwu, Chengde and Henghai in hand, Lu Long had absolute strength to deal with Gao Pian.

Once Gao Pian is taken down, the entire north will almost be in the hands of Lu Long. At that time, when entering Chang'an, it will change from an expected goal to a reality within reach.

It’s a pity that Gongsun Changming refused to help the general with his help.

When Shi Yi thought of Gongsun Changming, he felt a little sad. This person stayed with Lu Long for seven or eight years. It was with his help that Lu Long could have struggled from the beginning, reversed his disadvantage step by step, and then equally divided the Khitans with the Khitans. Finally, he defeated the Khitans in one fell swoop, and re-divided the Khitans who were about to condense into one. As a Shi Yi who personally participated in most of the affairs, if Gongsun Changming had the help of him, the general would be like a tiger with wings.

But Mr. Gongsun is the one who is determined to revive the magnificence of the Tang Dynasty.

After realizing the general's thoughts, he ran away. Now he has become aide to Chengde and Li Anguo. This time the three alliances were planned by Gongsun Changming.

Unfortunately, just as Gongsun Changming knew Lu Long, Lu Long's Jiedushi Zhang Zhongwu also fully understood him. After taking the lead in instigating Wang Feng, who was already hesitant, the balance of victory in this battle was seriously biased towards Lu Long.

What Mr. Gongsun probably never expected was that Wang Feng, who was also the governor of the same place, lowered his head to Lu Long so easily.

After all, I have to thank Mr. Gongsun for his great help to Lu Long over the years!

Shi Yi almost laughed out loud.

The king is wise and the minister is wise.

Mr. Gongsun is that wise man. Under the command of the general, he can fully utilize his abilities, plan and win a thousand miles. But when he reaches Chengde, he is a little unsatisfied! Looking at the famous Major General Chengde in front of him, he went deep into the army alone and was still content. I think Mr. Gongsun will be so angry that he vomited blood when he knows it.

If Li Che was cautious in using his troops and kept advancing with the other two lines, the battle would be much more troublesome.

Youthful and energetic will eventually cost you.

The sound of rumbling war drums sounded in the distance. Shi Yi, who was not at all concerned about the battlefield, was startled, and his hand shook and pulled off several beards. Looking at the gray beard on his hand, he couldn't help but sigh.

It's old!

I remember when I first came to Lu Long, I was a very energetic young man. After more than ten years, even my beard became mottled. When I touched my face, it was rough and a little uncomfortable to my hands. This was due to the weather and wind and sand in Lu Long.

I hope the Grandmaster will be able to smooth sailing this time and move forward all the way so that I can ask Damaster for a place with a suitable climate to take care of her in the future!

"Governor, the Cheng German army is about to launch an attack." A general raised his head under the city tower and reported loudly to Shi Yi.

Shi Yi waved his hand lazily: "Do you still need to report to me? You can fight whatever you want."

"Understood!"

With the rumbling drums under the city, the sound of golden drums on the city also started to ring.

Hejian Prefecture is not a big city in Tongzhou. The city wall is not high, less than two meters, and there are no defensive facilities such as moats. That is, when the war comes, corvettes are issued to dig a trench three feet deep and about one meter wide around the city. Countless sharp bamboo sticks and wooden thorns are inserted into it. In some places, some hay is laid and grease is poured on. When the enemy attacks, they are ignited with rockets to delay the enemy's attack speed and allow the city to kill the siege to the greatest extent.

It is impossible for ordinary people to jump over a trench that is more than three meters wide. More importantly, even if you have amazing jumping power, you are only more than a foot away from the city wall after jumping. It is so small that you can't even stand firmly. How can you attack the enemy?

If you want to directly attack the city wall, the first step is naturally to fill these trenches.

Thousands of soldiers in the palace were holding wooden shields and carrying straw bags on their shoulders, running towards the trench, throwing the straw bags on their shoulders into the trench, then turning around and carrying the shield behind them and running. They didn't have armor to protect themselves, and they would be miserable. Even if they didn't hit the nail on the head, in this era of lack of doctors and medicine, if you are not lucky, you can still kill your life due to infection.

The feather arrows of the city guardians are mostly soaked in feces and stuck on their bodies, and are definitely not as simple as just bleeding.

The siegemen are fighting steadily, and the defenders are also calm and unhurried.

Whenever a wave of government soldiers came to fill the trench, arrows fell like rain on the city, and finally some corpses and a filled trench were left behind, and there was a slight pause, and then it repeated exactly the same as the last time.

Li Che stood under the roaring banner, full of energy. This was his first time commanding a large army of tens of thousands of people to fight. He set out from Shenzhou and advanced all the way, and took the lead in fighting to Hejian Prefecture. Compared with this, neither Henghai Liu Chenglin nor Zhenwu Wang Feng could compare with it, which made him even more proud.

How can the small town of Hejian withstand the fierce attacks of 3,000 soldiers and 30,000 soldiers in the palace? It is only a matter of time to take down Hejian.

"It seems that Shi Yi's troops are seriously insufficient." Li Che raised his horse whip and pointed to the flying flag of the stone-shaped flag on the Hejian Mansion City. "If he has sufficient troops, when our mansion soldiers start to fill the trenches, they should send troops to strangle these mansion soldiers, but now they are just shooting on the city without going out of the city to attack. It is obvious that they are not willing to take risks because they have insufficient troops."

"Major General, but in this way, the five hundred cavalry under your command will no longer be used." Wang Mingren smiled. "If they dare to leave the city, the five hundred cavalry will be able to kill them, and they will always kill some of their elite."

"It's indeed a pity. I heard from Mr. Gongsun that Lu Long's cavalry is not inferior to those men I trained with myself. I am really a little dissatisfied with it. It's a pity that Shi Yi is afraid to fight and refuses to go out of the city to fight."

"Major General, after breaking the city, there will be a chance." Wang Mingren raised the horse spear in his hand, "Even if I am, I'm a little itchy!"

"There is not necessarily a chance!" Li Che sighed: "The whole strategy is to take Yingzhou and end here. If Zhang Zhongwu is convinced, he will not be able to fight Luo next!"

The two of them talked and laughed easily, not taking this battle to heart. And on the battlefield ahead, a more intense battle had already begun.

After filling the trench dozens of feet further, the soldiers of the palace finally began to attack the city wall.

A pair of two thousand men in leather armor was slightly better than that of ordinary soldiers. They carried cloud ladders and carried long bamboo poles as thick as bowls and rushed towards the city walls. These cloud ladders were temporarily built by the German army in the past two days, and those bamboo poles, some materials that had not been used up for building cloud ladders, are now directly used on the battlefield.
