Chapter 744 Thinking Change 4
At the same time, the capital of Liaoxi County was in the tent of the besieged city at the east gate of Kaiping City.
With the previous good news from the south, Luo Zhanji, the head of Luo Fan's family and commander of the army, was absent-mindedly listening to the following retainers who were happy to report in turn; while wandering in a bit of dilemma and confusion.
"Congratulations to the lord..."
"Lu County has a great victory, and the regiment training envoy Xue Hengtai won more than 2,000 troops..."
"Breaking the Langshan Fort, more than 5,000 hiding households were obtained..."
"Xingbo Port has dropped, and all kinds of people donated 14,000 pieces of silk and silk..."
"The headquarters of the guards and captures the escaped patrol camp in the upper reaches of the Daling River, and kills the patrol envoy Xie Ji below..."
"Since then, the entire territory of Liaoxi County, Gaozhou and Pingzhou,"
"Except for some of the remnants that fled into the mountains, they have all been taken down..."
"Wu Lang, Yan Ran, Huai Yuan, Zhu Shu, about twenty years of defense of the fortress, has been conquered and taken over..."
"The products and inventory collected are piled up like mountains..."
Although he heard these good news, he failed to make Luo Zhanji feel better. Instead, the livestock felt a little helpless and sighed.
Because compared with these small-scale achievements, Huaidong's performance as an ally is no longer not strong enough, but that it performed too well and too much beyond expectations.
Since the major setbacks suffered by Dongshan City, things have been going very smoothly, and it has been a little unbelievable that he has become more cautious and cautious as if walking on thin ice.
You should know that the miserable defeat that almost shook the foundation of our family many years ago, the scene of every family filial piety and every household crying seemed to be vivid in the purpose. Therefore, as a vassal lord, he was not good at military strategy, but he was only cautious and meticulous enough.
Therefore, he would rather keep Huaizhen, a very important allies, arranged to go to the south to garrison the Liaoxi Corridor just in case, just to avoid repeating the story of repeating the same mistake.
But unexpectedly, not only was it successfully established in a short time, it was enough to cut off the defense lines of several states in southwestern Liao; it also attacked the enemy troops from Pingludao with a small number of attacks, and finally could not even make a foothold in the local area, and had to retreat back to Yingzhou in disgrace.
When this news is released, it is certainly a joyful and unworried struggle for Liaoxi and besieging Kaiyi City; but in comparison, these subordinates who are still burning, killing, and looting the local area and cannot extricate themselves can only be described as barely.
As the saying goes, the troubles caused by the contrast and contrast of people who are more popular. Not to mention the generals underground, even as the vassal lord, he was under a certain sense of pressure and urgency.
After all, they have not made any progress under Kaiyi City yet. Except for this Beizhen County where the other party voluntarily gave up, they even had several sub-cities that were guarded by the outside world.
You should know that in the original offer, he used his existing territory as collateral and many rights and interests in transportation, so that Huaizhen would continue to join the subsequent military action.
Although after entering Xue's territory as agreed, the remuneration and military expenses needed to be paid to allies can be converted to local remuneration and acquisition, and only normal food and grass must be provided according to the head.
However, the more outstanding you perform as an ally, the greater the role you play, and the greater the benefits you will take from the local area as agreed. This is helpless;
Although it is actually a matter of giving up others with the occupation of the area, no one wants to have a new territory that he or she can get, both as a vassal lord or as a personal standpoint.
Of course, at least he has no intention of breaking the alliance or breaking the contract at the moment, or he is not sure to use the hundreds of years of Roche's foundation and people's expectations to bear the price of this unwei.
"About Huaizhen where I am looking for a woman privately,"
Luo Zhanji remembered another thing and immediately called a close friend over.
"There are also things that Boluo will be involved in his family, and find out how he is doing..."
The person who came was Luo Cangwu, who was the one who grew up with his son since childhood, and he was also the leader of the eyeliner he deliberately cultivated, so he pondered seriously.
"The last clue about that woman is in Dongshan City..."
? "It is said that he is an important person in the Qingsheng Chamber of Commerce, which is famous for its jewelry business..."
"I was with Xue's men who were sending a wedding gift on the grounds of buying a makeup gift..."
"Then before the night banquet, I was missing as the Qingsheng Chamber of Commerce belonged to..."
"In hindsight, it seems really suspicious, but the clues in the city were all broken..."
"I think I'm afraid I can't get out of touch with Pingludao..."
"If the subordinates expected nothing unexpected happens, there is a high probability that they are still in the city of Liaoxi..."
When he said this, Luo Cangwu paused and his face became solemn again.
"But this Boluo will be even more difficult and hindering..."
"The young man started to investigate secretly in his family, but encountered a lot of resistance..."
"I had to change the means and channels, and then I found someone to read through the daily life chronicles of my past, so I got a little bit of gain..."
"The reason for private negotiations with this family can be traced back to the head of the previous generation..."
"In the third year of Baoqing, I provided my family with the first loan..."
"During the Yuanguang period, due to the famine in Liaocheng County, I bought 80,000 stones of grain overseas..."
"During the Xingtai period, he also appointed a vassal lord to represent his maritime trade patents for several years..."
"Later, my family gradually became closer to the south, and then it gradually faded out of daily life..."
"I have heard of it occasionally over the years, and there are many other people who have made friends in the vassal... including the children of the three and seven rooms."
"I also heard about Lao Fan's side, among the Qing Guards and disciples in the mansion."
"Those national players and tea ceremony masters are also recommended by suspected background..."
Luo Zhanji heard this for a long time before he resisted the question such as "Why am I not very clear?" and explained his face unchangedly.
"I will give you more manpower and financial resources, so I must continue to investigate secretly..."
"But everything is to not make the other party feel surprised..."
"In addition, all the relevant ones of the Shengqing Chamber of Commerce will be handed over to that person..."
"promise……"
"Report..."
At this moment, a notice suddenly came from outside.
"Report to the lord, there is a news report from the Malay newspaper that our army will arrive soon..."
This was obviously the best news he had heard.
However, Luo Zhanrong, a cousin and third family, finally sent troops with a group of allies and vassal forces. The nineteen coalition forces, known as 60,000, finally arrived in western Liaoning and had already passed.
This time, in addition to these men, they also brought newly built siege equipment such as stone cannons, as well as hundreds of craftsmen who were under maintenance and construction.
This also makes up for the regret that when I sent troops to welcome the bride, I didn't carry heavy equipment, but could only sigh at the city tower.
So, Luo Zhanji was finally able to make up his mind to concentrate his troops and start the attack on Kaiyi City.
"People come to pass on my order..."
"All guards and capture troops, left, front, back, and central vassal soldiers belong to..."
"In the period of distance and near, within three days, quickly move closer to the formation and return it..."
"Those who are not fully established when they return to the office are taken away from their posts and are punished..."
"Those who dare to lose their order will be killed without mercy..."
"Those who have lost their lives are treated as deserters..."
"Those who are expected to stay in the area are guilty of the same crime..."
These series of commands from the city of Kaiping, like flowing water, caused ripples and repercussions in various parts of western Liaoning.
A few days later, dozens of assembled stone cannons and projectiles of varying heights were divided into two rows of display under Kaiyi City.
Next to the towering siege equipment, there are many stone bombs that have been quarried from the mountains and simply polished; there are also pottery bullets that are specially used for personnel damage; poisonous smoke balls made of plants and trees, and large fire cups filled with flammable grease... they are already piled up like small hills.
With a command, the wall on the east side of Kaiyi City was suddenly shrouded in splashing fragments, broken battlements, burning flames and intoxicating black smoke, and it seemed that people were roaring very lively.
With the buzzing and shock of the bombardment of the stone cannon, Kaiyi City finally responded and moved. The same howling dots in the air drew a long arc and then fell into Luo's array.
It was obvious that Xue's heavy equipment in the city also began to fight back. Although these projectiles hit and overturned some civilians and soldiers, they were obviously far from the siege tools that were rushing to the siege.
Amid the drums and trumpets, the front row, which had been lined up by the mixed Zibo soldiers and the military servants, couldn't wait to carry the bags filled with soil, push the small carts filled with sand, and rushed forward one after another.
At this time, another weapon on the top of the city was also put into battle. I saw a series of sounds between the battlements, and sharp objects like spears flew out of the city, almost shooting towards the crowd of people head-on.
Suddenly, amid the screams and wails, at least two or three human bodies were penetrated through them, and then flew up and sprayed blood and inserted them into the ground.
"It's a bed crossbow..."
"Be careful to avoid..."
