Chapter 387
Prospecting Dynasty, Zhanjing.

The Palace of Miyagi is in the early morning.

In the early dynasties, the monarchs and ministers were all solemn, but now, everyone is smiling and full of joy.

On the dragon chair, the empress raised her red lips lightly, and there was a sweet smile on her beautiful face, which added to her beauty and made her extremely attractive.

But under the ranks, many civil and military officials were all laughing, unable to restrain themselves.

Just because of his talents, the Minister of War reported the battle situation of the Qin and Yi armies.

Originally thought that the attack by the two armies would be protracted, but unexpectedly, Qin Yi unexpectedly made a strange move and passed around the city without allowing the two armies to attack together, and accelerated the speed.

What's more, Qin Yi is really a genius. Not only is his strategy extraordinary, but even his skill of maneuvering is rare in the world. He was able to develop a new and more powerful catapult.

So much so that the war miracle of a year and a half ago was reappeared in three consecutive cities. How can everyone be dissatisfied with joy after hearing about it?

"Your Majesty, Qin Yi is really a strange person!" Hubu Shangshu couldn't help praising him.

As a civil servant, one shouldn't praise military generals, but Qin Yi's ability is indeed far beyond ordinary people's imagination, so that the Minister of the Ministry of Households can't help admiring, regardless of the possible displeasure of the minister.

"Indeed, siege is extremely difficult, but how do you know that Qin Yi is here, but the momentum is astonishing, it's amazing!" The Minister of Rites couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Although he is a civil official, the Minister of Rites attaches great importance to war, so he has learned about it and knows that it is extremely difficult to attack a city.

More than 300 years ago, General Li Guo commanded 5 troops to attack Qu Guoxie City. There were only thousands of troops in the city. end in the city.

More than 200 years ago, the prime minister of Zeguo led 50 troops to attack the city of Zhencheng, which was far from the country. The city of Zhencheng relied on thousands of troops to resist the enemy for more than [-] days and wiped out more than [-] enemy soldiers. The prime minister of Zeguo was depressed, suffered a sudden illness, and retreated in defeat.

More than 100 years ago, the Liukang Dynasty sent 20 troops to attack Jingye City, an important border city of the Tianyou Dynasty.After six years of siege, the Liukang Dynasty paid a huge price to capture it, but was unable to continue the Northern Expedition.

These battles are not an exception, but the norm. Every time a city is attacked, it will be extremely difficult. If it is a strong attack, it will consume a lot of troops, and half of the casualties can be found everywhere. If the city is besieged without attacking, it will be protracted. months, or as many as several years.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that Qin Yi was a god-man if he was able to conquer three cities in one day.

Such a miracle has earned him the title of God of War. Even Lin Zhan's first generation God of War, Wei Yuan, was not as sharp as Qin Yi in terms of attacking cities and villages.

Therefore, all the officials will smile openly, unable to help themselves.

If this is the case, Lin Zhan will be able to easily capture Liu Kang after a few more attacks, and he still has a lot of energy left to deal with Da Li.

It's a pity, as the battle report also said, after Qin Yi captured the three cities, he encountered Tianyao City, one of the best Liukang cities, and the offensive has been blocked, and the new catapult has also been imitated, so he has no advantage.

It has been besieged for five or six days so far, with little success.

Next, it depends on whether Qin Yi can create another miracle by relying on his extraordinary mechanical skills to create a new type of siege equipment.

Even if he couldn't, with his strategy, he might be able to make a strange move and break the city with a clever plan.

Many officials are full of confidence in Qin Yi.

This is a man who often creates miracles. If you dare to question him, you will be slapped in the face by reality!

……

Looking forward to the dynasty, the mansion of Wu Xiang.

In the study, Marquis Dingjun said enviously, "Old Wan, if I knew I should have taken Qin Yi as a student before you, it is really regrettable that I was preempted by you!"

Today, Qin Yi's military exploits are getting greater and greater, gradually surpassing his predecessors, and reaching a height that is difficult for everyone to reach. Coupled with the trust of the empress, his future achievements will definitely be extraordinary.

Maybe, he really has the ability to conquer the entire Liukang, create brilliant achievements, and be famous forever!

Thinking of this, Marquis Ding Jun became more and more envious of Prime Minister Wu. With such a strong student, not to mention that they will be written down in the annals of history, just now, whenever Qin Yi sends back the battle report, he will be ashamed. There is light, and there is more face.

"Yeah, you're a step too late," Wu Xiang smiled faintly, "After hundreds of years, future generations may not remember what I did, but they will definitely remember that I am Qin Yi's teacher."

Master of the God of War Qin Yi!

Hearing this, Marquis Dingjun laughed angrily. He knew that Prime Minister Wu just wanted to make fun of himself when he said that, but he still couldn't help feeling a deep sense of envy.

Seeing the appearance of Ding Junhou, Wu Xiang smiled lightly.

Qin Yi's achievements gradually overshadowed him, but Wu Xiang was not displeased at all, but was slightly happy in his heart.

This means that it is really a great fortune to have someone to follow.

After drinking a few sips of tea and suppressing his envy, Hou Dingjun remembered the purpose of coming this time, and asked immediately, "Lao Wan, His Majesty agreed to let you investigate the two cases, and allocated five hundred imperial spy guards to assist you. As for you, I don’t know how you checked in the past ten days or so?”

Wu Xiang suppressed his smile, narrowed his pupils, and looked more profound, "Some clues have been found in the military crossbow case, and the people behind the back have shown their feet."

Hearing this, Ding Junhou couldn't help frowning, a little curious, who is this person?

……

Taocheng, five miles away.

In the camp, Mu Haoran looked at the map, frowning slightly.

Now, it is the No. 16 day when he led his troops to besiege Taocheng. At first, he sent troops to attack four or five times, and lost a lot of troops, but there was no result. It can be changed to besiege but not attack.

Now, sixteen days have passed, the enemy soldiers have not lost any signs of defeat, their morale is extremely high, and the city has sufficient food and grass, so it is difficult to be effective without months or even years of siege.

This made Mu Haoran full of depression, not to mention whether he could stay there for many years, but whether the imperial court had the ability to allow him to lead an army of tens of thousands to spend so long here.

The sum of his subordinates and Qin Yi's subordinates is nearly 35, requiring hundreds of thousands of civilians to transport food, and the civilians travel thousands of miles to deliver food, and they have to bring their own rations back and forth before they can spare the food and grass for the soldiers.

In order to transport such a large amount of grain and grass, a large number of peasants are needed. In addition to the long distance, the peasants and the horses consume all the way, so that the grain and grass delivered to the soldiers is only one-fiftieth of the original, and the rest is consumed on the road.

In this way, it will be a great consumption for the court.

Maybe after this battle, the court's savings over the years will be exhausted and it will become exhausted.

Therefore, Mu Haoran was full of worries, and kept wandering between attacking and besieging.

The results of these two choices are not acceptable to him.

Seeing Mu Haoran's brows furrowed tightly, and the general at the side knew what the other party was worried about, he was quite helpless and had nothing to do.

But relatively speaking, he still tends to attack by force. At worst, he will fight to the death. What is there to worry about?
Another general, after pondering for a moment, asked, "General, why don't you send someone to ask the commander-in-chief how to solve this situation?"

The general shook his head, and said, "After the town commander captured the three cities, his troops were blocked, and he besieged Tianyao City for ten days, but he couldn't break through the city. Let's not add trouble to the town commander."

The general who proposed said, "No matter what, it's good to ask, the commander-in-chief is far-sighted and will definitely think about what we can't think about."

If the commander-in-chief of the town is really so powerful, he wouldn't be able to break through the city for ten days... He would slander in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out. After all, Qin Yi's reputation was in full swing at this time. Mu Haoran would always refute.

After pondering for a while, Mu Haoran nodded and said, "Send someone to ask."

……

Tianyaocheng is ten miles away.

In the camp, Qin Yi was looking at the map, thinking secretly.

Generals such as Sun Xingling and Chen Yu stood aside, also looking at the map.

At this moment, Mao Lifu, the captain of the personal army, rushed into the tent and said respectfully, "Commander Zhen, Mu Haoyang sent someone to ask to see Commander Zhen."

Qin Yi was a little surprised, and immediately guessed the other party's intention, and immediately said, "Let him in."

Not long after, a thin general walked quickly into the tent, and said to Qin Yi, "The last general pays his respects to the commander-in-chief!"

Qin Yi nodded and asked, "How is the battle going?"

The lean general replied, "Report to the commander-in-chief that our army attacked four times, but to no avail, and then turned into a siege. It has been sixteen days so far."

Qin Yi nodded and said, "Why are you here?"

"The trouble in Taocheng made General Mu full of worries, so he sent his last general here to ask the Commander-in-Chief, if you have any suggestions?" asked the thin general.

When Chen Yu heard this, his brows twitched.

Even one's own side can only besiege rather than attack, how can there be a way to deal with Taocheng, isn't this Mu Haoran just adding to the trouble of the commander in chief!

Hearing this, Qin Yi nodded slowly, did not speak, and fell into deep thought.

The tent became silent, and the thin general was a little embarrassed, wondering if he had caused a problem for the commander-in-chief. He was about to say that it was okay if there was no way, but Qin Yi's voice suddenly sounded.

"There are still ways."

Hearing what Qin Yi said, the lean general was startled, while Sun Xinglen and Chen Yu were extremely surprised and couldn't help but look at each other.

Can there be a solution to this?

They are extremely curious about what the method is and what effect it has.

Qin Yi said slowly, "This method can only be used on the basis of a long-term siege."

After hearing this, everyone became more and more curious.

Seeing everyone's eagerness, Qin Yi smiled, and slowly spoke out the plan.

All the generals held their breath and listened carefully. After listening, they were all full of surprise.

After savoring for a while, Sun Xinglen asked doubtfully, "Marshal Zhen, will this method work?"

Qin Yi said with a smile, "Any strategy and strategy must be formulated according to the situation. This method will not work in Tianyao City, but it will work in Taocheng because of the particularity of Taocheng City Guard. "

Hearing this, the lean general immediately rejoiced.

If Qin Yi said it would work, he must be sure. If it could really have a miraculous effect, it would be great!
"The Commander-in-Chief's moves are really extraordinary. The last general will return to the camp and tell General Mu about this method." After Huanxi finished speaking, the thin general said respectfully, "The last general will retire now!"

Sun Xingleng and Chen Yu on the side were both pondering.

Qin Yi has a great strategy and is good at fighting against the heart, but whether this trick can work and whether he can break through the city easily remains to be seen.

……

In the Taocheng camp, Mu Haoran pondered for a moment after listening to the method that the thin general said, and couldn't help praising, "As expected of the commander of the town, he is very good at attacking the mind. This move deeply understands the enemy's psychology, which is very wonderful! "

"As expected of a rare top-ranking general in a hundred years, in terms of strategy, I really can't compare with Zhen Shuai!"

"The commander-in-chief is resourceful and resourceful, and his name is well-deserved!" Many generals nodded in agreement.

From their point of view, no matter whether it can have a miraculous effect or not, at least Qin Yi's move is beyond anyone's imagination.

"Just follow the commander-in-chief's plan and arrange it!" Mu Haoran said calmly.

He is looking forward to what the final result will be.

 The fact that it is not easy to siege a city is not fabricated in this article. Since ancient times, most sieges have been very difficult, so examples are given in this chapter, and the prototypes of the examples are also included in the comments.
