Chapter 1061: Siege

When the King of Zhenxi saw that his staff was speechless, he felt that he could not hold back his face: "Yin Huai's seal is far away in Monan. We don't know what the news is about the grassland. The news that comes back is what he asked people to spread. Who knows what it is? Didn't they return in advance and deployed in North China in advance? Otherwise, how could they have besieged Jingzhao without any warning? The Liang bandits were so unstoppable that they broke into Jingzhao. Even the King of Dongning did not dare to take advantage of him. How could he be easily besieged? Of?"

Thief Liang broke into Jingzhao, but this does not mean that he has complete control over Jingzhao.

Yin Huaixi used the news from Monan to paralyze King Liang, making King Liang think that King Wu Mu was still far away in the desert and had not returned yet, so he relaxed his vigilance against King Wu Mu. Only then did he fall into King Wu Mu's trap and was unexpectedly besieged by King Wu Mu.

The staff was convinced and couldn't help but sigh: "The Liang thieves probably never dreamed that King Wu Mu would wipe out the grassland in less than a year. Before his big dream of ascending the throne and becoming emperor could come true, he asked King Wu Mu to fight. We were caught off guard, but if the King of Liang succeeds in ascending the throne, gathers the troops in the capital, and prepares the army, he will not be so passive."

The King of Zhen wiped his face: "Who says it's not true? Once King Liang controls the defense line of Beijing and Tianjin and has the power in the center of Beijing, even King Dongning who attacks Tianjin will be in danger."

Jingzhao is notoriously easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Since ancient times, attacking a city requires three times more troops and horses, and defending a city is much easier. One or two thousand people can often defend a city with seven or eighty thousand people attacking a city. The marquis of Zhenguo organized the troops and horses in Beijing and Tianjin to resist vigorously, taking advantage of the natural resources of the two places. The terrain, defense, and supplies in the capital caused the Liang thieves to lose their troops and suffer a lot.

"Not to mention that Liang Liang did not expect that, I am afraid that everyone did not expect that King Wu Mu attacked Beidi as if it was for fun. The Di people who roamed the grassland and were arrogant were actually vulnerable to King Wu Mu. An army of 600,000 Not only was the entire army wiped out, but they were also beaten to his hometown in Monan and beheaded King Khan. Who would believe this?!"

So, it wasn’t that he surrendered too quickly, but that he surrendered too slowly, and his life was at risk!

The staff member thought: "I'm afraid that King Wu Mu had planned the Northern Expedition early on. The massive invasion of Beidi's 600,000 troops was just a logical opportunity for him."

If what he expected was right, then King Wu Mu was too terrifying.

The King of Zhenxi looked solemn: "It's probably true. Just look at him. He not only mastered the topographic map of the grassland, understood the distribution map of the Di people's activities, led troops deep into the grassland, and attacked various tribes in the grassland. It looks like he is familiar with the terrain of the grassland in advance. , I also heard that King Wu Mu trained a military formation specifically made of Kedi people’s bows and horses, so it’s not an unprepared battle at all.”

The two looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

This battle is clearly about knowing yourself and the enemy.

The staff was even more fortunate that they followed a clear-minded master. If they really waited until King Wu Mu dealt with King Liang and had free hands to clean up, staff like him who took refuge in Zhenxi Palace would have no chance of survival.

It was on the second day when King Wu Mu besieged Jingzhao. At midnight, the soldiers and horses deployed by King Liang in various places in Jingzhao were attacked respectively. Elite soldiers who came from unknown sources took advantage of the cover of night and killed King Liang. Caught off guard, King Liang had no time to react, and there was news from below that King Wu Mu was approaching the city.

Thousands of torches illuminated the tower like daylight.

King Liang climbed onto the tower and looked down at the bottom of the tower. King Wu Muding of the North, who was sitting on a horse and standing among thousands of troops, almost had his teeth broken on the spot.

He sneered: "Isn't King Wu Mu still fighting against the Di people in Monan? Why did he suddenly besiege Jingzhao? Liang thinks he is smart, but he asked you, a child with a yellow mouth, to trick you and do it for you for nothing. Wedding dress." At this point, he was already furious and laughed angrily: "Okay, that's really good, King Wu Mu is really good at calculating..."

Now that things have happened, what is there that you still don’t understand?

Yin Huaixi used the death of King Zhou Li to stir up trouble in the Zhou Dynasty, creating an opportunity for him to rebel, which made his ambitions grow wildly. When the time was right, he tried one move to retrial Ning Yuanbo, causing him to suffer a huge loss. In order to prevent his collusion with Uncle Ning Yuan from being exposed by the court early and putting him in a passive situation, he had no choice but to start his troops early.

All of this is part of Yin Huaixi's plan.

Yin Huaixi gave him an eye and said slowly: "Everyone can punish the rebellious ministers and traitors."

"You," King Liang's face turned livid, he clenched his teeth and squeezed out a voice from between his teeth: "Yin Huaixi, are you sure you want to go against me? You have to think clearly, Youjun is brave and good at fighting, one against ten, But I, Liang Jun, am not a vegetarian either. If two tigers fight each other and one of them is killed and the other injured, wouldn’t it mean that King Dongning, who is huddled in Shandong, will benefit for nothing?"

King Dongning is sitting in Shandong, which is only six or seven hundred miles away from the capital. He has always regarded King Dongning as the biggest threat. To guard against King Dongning, he deployed his most elite troops on the Tianjin defense line, resulting in a shortage of manpower in the capital and thousands of people. He never expected that he would be caught off guard and attacked by King Wu Mu from both inside and outside, and his strong bow was at the end of its rope.

Yin Huaixi raised his eyes but said nothing.

King Liang consciously persuaded him and struck while the iron was hot and continued: "I believe King Wu Mu is a smart man and should know how to choose. If King Wu Mu withdraws his troops, from now on, the entire territory of Youzhou will be decided by King Wu Mu. I will never interfere."

To put it bluntly, it means allowing King Wu Mu to establish himself as king in the north.

Give up half of the country in the north.

He thought he had made the biggest concession.

Yin Huaixi sneered: "Don't think too highly of yourself."

King Liang was furious: "Yin Huaixi, don't be too arrogant. No matter how hard I try, you can't win this capital just because you want it. It's better for both sides to take a step back. If you insist on being my enemy, At worst, the fish will die and the net will be broken..."

Yin Huaixi was speechless for a while and said, don't think too highly of yourself. Where did he get his confidence? With a mere 200,000 remnant troops, how could he fight to the death with his 300,000 You army?

With such a self-righteous IQ, you still want to be an emperor?

Are you afraid that you want to eat shit? !

Yin Huaixi was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, raised his hand and ordered: "Attack!"

King Liang's pupils shrank, and he saw King Wu Mu's army approaching not far away. When he saw the army entering the shooting range, he shouted: "Fire arrows!"

Arrows as dense as rain, like an arrow net, were shot down from the city tower, and a loud shout was heard below. Thick shields blocked the siege army front and back, up and down, and left and right in the unbreakable shield wall. The city army kept advancing forward with an unstoppable momentum.

Seeing this situation, King Liang felt a chill in his heart.

This is the elite of the Youjun Army.

Yin Huaixi followed closely behind the siege troops. When the two rows of crossbows reached the firing range, he ordered the release of the crossbows. The crossbows were large crossbows, necessary for siege and plundering the city. The crossbows had a long range and could fire more than ten shots at a time. arrows.
