The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

After Liaoyuan City was surrounded by Daxia soldiers and horses, the shortage of food caused panic in the city. In order to ensure the supply of food, Prince He ordered all the food in the city to be collected and managed in a unified manner for dispatch. Each household only kept enough food for one month according to the head. If it is privately hidden and violators, he will not forgive!

Regarding this decision, the leading generals readily agreed with no objection.

Since Qi’s domestic and foreign worries and rebels have risen, coupled with frequent natural disasters, insufficient grains, and massive reductions in production, the price of food in Qi has remained high. People with slightly low yields have begun to collect food, let alone those. There are big households, and the amount of food to be collected is even greater.

Although forcibly confiscated is no different from bandits, the soldiers fully support this plan in order to survive. So in the next three days, there was a mess in the city, and a large amount of grain was transported back to the granary, piled full.

Originally, the grain was only enough for the army to eat for ten days, but now this seizure has enough grain to support three months, it is conceivable how much grain is hidden in the hands of the people!

Prosperity antiques, troubled times, gold, and food are not unreasonable.

The confiscated grains filled the granary. After visiting the granary with the generals, Prince He specifically emphasized: "The weight of the granary is related to the lives of the people in the city. It must be protected from fire and moisture. General Wei, this matter will be your sole responsibility! If the granary is out If the problem is solved, this king will kill you, and you will also become the criminal minister of Da Qi, do you understand?"

A middle-aged general shouted: "Understand the humble position, please rest assured, the prince!"

Prince He nodded and took a deep look at this Wei Jiangjun.

His elder brother is Wei Nanzheng, right-hand man, so if you don't cheat you, who is it?

After the explanation, Prince He returned to the mansion.

Although Prince He is the commander of the general this time, this is actually Wei Nan's move. Emperor Qi also wants to borrow Prince He's reputation and disgusts Xia at the same time.

But at the same time, Emperor Qi was also worried that Prince He would betray the enemy and betray the country. After all, he had a very close relationship with Xia, so Prince He did not have actual military power. If he arranged some unfavorable strategies for the country, this group of generals would definitely not agree.

Of course, you still have to listen to the favorable things, for example, the grain harvest this time is a good thing.

Outside the city of Liaoyuan, the champion Hou’s army remained unmoved. On the other side, Li Cunxiao and Yang Youji led a hundred thousand troops northward and conquered another city. They were unstoppable and made a great victory. This made the other generals under the champion Hou's eyes tight.

The champion Hou looked at the eagerness of his subordinate generals' eagerness and eagerness, and his gaze shifted to Liaoyuan City.

There are two important military sites in the south of Qi State, one is Fengtian, and the other is Liaoyuan. The two cities are located on the central axis of the Qi imperial capital, just like two gateways.

Take Fengtian City and sit there, and you can control the area to the south.

Winning Liaoyuan and sitting here, you can go north to attack the imperial capital of Qi, and go south to control two-thirds of Qi, and you can attack or retreat. This is another reason why champion Hou Shi must win Liaoyuan City.

During this period of time, Da Xia's soldiers were unstoppable. According to his temper, even if Liaoyuan City was difficult to attack, he would take it down at any cost, and he could not let Da Xia's momentum exhaustion.

The reason why the city is only besieged and not attacked is because of the secret letter sent by the prince.

In the letter, His Royal Highness told him not to attack by force. There is a way to take Liaoyuan City with a smaller loss, and the key is Prince He.

The champion Hou knew that although Prince He was a general, he was actually overhead and had no actual leadership rights. Who would listen to his five generals?

In addition, Prince He is a native of Qi, and he also cherishes his reputation. In his later years, if he really goes to Da Xia, he will be collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. I believe he is not willing to bear infamy. So how will Prince Hyuk help?

Just last night, the scout he sent to inquire about the city received an arrow feather shot from the city. There was a note on the arrow, saying that the city was collecting grain for unified management. Seeing this news, the champion Hou understood Prince He. His thoughts and scheming.

If the grain depot in Liaoyuan City catches fire and all the grain is burned, what will happen?

This is all the food stored by the people in the city. They are all gone. Only a little bit of surplus food left by the people in their homes is left. What is enough for you!

Once there is no food, this solid Liaoyuan City is a dead city. When that time, the Qi army will definitely not defend it, but will make a raid and escape from the North City Gate.

Therefore, after receiving the news, the champion Hou immediately dispatched troops at night, letting a part of the army lie in ambush at the official road ten miles north of Liaoyuan City, and the soldiers outside the other three gates remained silent to avoid being caught by the Qi army in Liaoyuan City. Found clues.

Next, let's look at Prince Hyuk's.

It was night, which coincided with the next Xuanyue, and it was covered by clouds, and the moon was dark and the stars were sparse.

Over the years, Prince He also secretly trained a group of dead men, and today, it is time to use them.

At the end of the ugly age, the soldiers in Liaoyuan City were all tired. Prince He gave an order and more than one hundred dead soldiers were dispatched.

They were originally the Qi army, and Prince He had forged the pass badge long ago, saying that he had been ordered to inspect, and he entered the granary smoothly.

Although General Wei, who was in charge of the granary, sent additional manpower to increase the intensity of guards and patrols, it was impossible for this General Wei to personally guard the granary. And the soldiers who patrolled even wanted to break their heads and couldn't think of it. These arrogant inspectors actually came to set fire.

In this way, the dead man approached the granary and opened the granary for "supervision." Then they poured in the oil they had with them, and ignited the grains.

The grain cellar is filled with dry grain, which is the best combustible material. It burns directly in case of fire, and the fire becomes larger in an instant.

More than a dozen grain cellars ignited at the same time, and it didn't take long for the flames to ignite, illuminating the sky above the grain and grass.

The fire attracted the patrolling soldiers, hurriedly beating gongs and drums, shouting "fire escape", and at this time, the dead soldiers dressed in uniforms violently killed people, and suddenly chaos.

The Qi army who rushed to put out the fire suddenly went into chaos. They were all wearing the same uniforms. It was night again. The chaotic fights could not tell who the enemy was. In order to avoid fighting, some soldiers were guarding the people around them.

But the delay caused the fire in the grain cellar to burn even more.

The fire became bigger and bigger, illuminating the sky, and more and more soldiers came to fight the fire after hearing the news, and the scene was chaotic.

The fire also attracted the champion outside the city. Champion Hou had long ordered his soldiers to prepare at night, so Daxia soldiers dressed and slept, quietly waiting for the horn to sound.

"Boom boom boom..."

Suddenly, the four large camps stationed outside the city sounded drums at the same time, and the drums rang to indicate an attack! The Daxia general, who had been waiting a long time ago, immediately led his subordinates to attack the city.

The city of Liaoyuan was busy fighting the fire, and the news of Daxia's offensive came suddenly. The five generals of Qi State cursed again and again, and then went to the city to fight.

In the midnight siege, Daxia's offensive method was adjusted. Champion Hou had long ordered people to prepare soil bags to fill the trenches, and solved the first line of defense prepared by Qi.

Then the burning tarp was trembling on the crossbow arrows, and then ten thousand arrows were fired into the city of Liaoyuan.

The gunpowder concocted by the rappel was also full of flammable fuel. After hitting the bunker made of wooden planks in the city, it burst and ignited, and it burned instantly.

At the end of autumn, the weather was dry and things were dry. In this siege, champion Hou used fire attack, which happened to be quite good with the burning grain cellar.

In the early morning of the attack, the houses near the four city gates burned down several streets, and thousands of houses were burnt down. The entire sky was filled with black smoke and fire, and it was a mess.

It's a pity that the walls are all made of bluestone. If the tower is burned, there is nothing to burn, but the bunkers made of wood are almost burnt.

At dawn, champion Hou's offense officially began.

At this time, the ladder was launched, and Daxia soldiers began to attack the city.

The panicked General Qi led the more panicked Qi army to the defense of the city and began to defend the city.

Liaoyuan City, which was blooming on all sides, fell into a great panic, especially the grain cellars were burned. The fires in a dozen grain cellars only extinguished five, and the grains in these five grain cellars were almost burned. Cheng, repelled the Xia Jun's offensive, and they also became the turtles in the urn.

How to eat without food? No food, no strength, no strength to go to the tower is to die!

How to do?

With the panic spreading, some people just wanted to survive.

Don’t forget that there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Qi army who were recruited by rebels. They used to be refugees. When they were rebels, they were recruited to live by food. They were recruited to live by food. Now they can’t live without food. Then run away!

The question is here, where to flee?

There are four gates in the southeast, northwest, and northwest. With the back of your head, you can also know that you are fleeing north. Is fleeing south to be a prisoner?

So the wonderful scene happened at the North City Gate.

Xia Jun outside the city wanted to go in, and Qi Jun inside the city wanted to come out.

It turns out that the city gate opens better from the inside than from the outside!

Qi Jun, who was once a traitor, responded with a hundred responses, and actually opened the northern gate of Liaoyuan City, and then rushed out.

Daxia's soldiers and horses were still on the ladder, and they were attacking the city on the stairs. The bumping wood had been transported, and the city gate was opened before it hit, and then a large number of Qi troops fled the city in a hurry.

To the back, more and more people rushed out of the city, and then fled. Daxia soldiers retreated quickly, stopped attacking the city, lined up for defense, quietly watching them run like refugees.

At the same time ~www.ltnovel.com~ the north gate was opened, and news of Qi soldiers fleeing was also passed back to the other three gates. The generals who were still desperately defending the city froze for a moment, cursing these betrayers who had been recruited. The thief missed the country, they did not dare to continue to fall, and immediately abandoned the city, opened the city gate and fled.

In this way, the huge Liaoyuan City was thrown away by Qi Jun himself and fell into the hands of Da Xia.

Champion Hou arranged soldiers and horses to chase the fleeing Qi army. On the official road to the north of Liaoyuan City, there was also ambush the champion Hou prepared in advance. The fleeing Qi army instantly fell into a trap. At this time, Qi army had no fighting mood. , The one who can escape, the one who can't escape kneels and begs for mercy.

Near noon, the battle basically ended.

Statistics of record and wounded situation in the next few days.

In the capture of Liaoyuan City this time, the Daxia side injured more than 20,000 people and killed more than 4,000 people, but wiped out 40,000 enemies and captured 120,000. The remaining Qi army fled everywhere, like a bereaved dog.

Two of the five leading generals also died, and the remaining three led the remaining Qi army to flee to the north.

Soon, the news of the destruction of Liaoyuan City was also sent back to the Qi State Imperial Capital.
