Chapter 794 Siege (9)

In addition to Jujianguan, there is another other border in the northern border of Milai Kingdom. Qingchengguan is in the east. Qingchengguan has a dangerous terrain, narrow roads, rugged and difficult to travel, which is extremely unfavorable for large-scale marching. Therefore, when the Maha army selected a breakthrough location, it did not consider Qingchengguan at all. Therefore, Qingchengguan was preserved.

The children of Du Yue King were stationed in Qingcheng Pass, including the eldest prince Fang Youming, the princess Fang Youai and the young prince Fang Youxin, and the wife of Du Yue King were also there. They were not yet aware of the news that they were broken in Jujian Pass, so they prepared their troops every day to achieve military achievements and invited them to their father for rewards.

...

An Yu and others took a group of refugees to the east, took the path away from the northern end of the mountain, passed through Sifang Pavilion, entered Weizhou, and then turned south, so they did not encounter the expeditionary Maha army.

However, in order to take care of all the people with their families, their progress was very slow. It took more than 20 days to reach Linshan City. As soon as they entered Linshan City, An Yu, Youying, Youjun and others felt the difference in the atmosphere, because the people coming and going were hurried, and there were much fewer people on the street than before, and there were no city defense teams that were routinely patrolling along the way.

Everyone felt something big happening here. Zhu Wei was the most excited, and ran to the side with a smile, pulled someone and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with Linshan City? What about people selling things? Why are there so few people?"

"Ah? Are you from another place or from the north?" the man asked. Zhu Wei nodded and said, "We are from Yunzhou!"

"No wonder! Now the battle is only fought in the south, and Songshui City has been besieged for nearly half a month..." The man pointed on the way and said, "I saw that there are no people here. Haha, I have all fled in advance! The city defense forces in Linshan City have also been transferred to support Songshui!"

Zhu Wei pretended to be surprised and asked: "What kind of war is there? Will there be rebellion?"

"Rebellion? If it was a rebellion, it would be fine. This time, I heard that the person who was called was the Maha army, who came by boat from the sea!"

Zhu Wei was shocked and attracted the other party's introduction. He revealed all the news he knew without reservation. Even when Zhu Wei said goodbye, the man seemed to be feeling unsatisfied.

Zhu Wei came back and said, "The big thing is wrong, junior brother! The Maha army is besieging Songshui City!"

An Yu looked slightly suspicious and murmured: "Strange, the Maha army came across the ocean and did not attack Qingzhou City or the royal capital, how could it attack Songshui City, which had no strategic value?"

"Wait! You said the Maha army is besieging Songshui City?"

Zhu Wei nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong? Do you have any questions?"

"This is Shannan Town, and it will take at least two days to go to Songshui City! After such a long time, Songshui City may have been taken down long ago, right? Why is it said it is being attacked?"

"The man said that Songshui City has been besieged for half a month! Let's go quickly, maybe it can help!"

"Half a month? With Songshui City's defensive power, it would be nice to be able to withstand for half an hour. Half a month... Does Songshui City have any strong support?"

Fang Youjun said: "In the previous spy incident, our Weinan Prince's Mansion had transferred a lot of people to help defend Songshui City, but Songshui City Wall is low and there are few people, so it is not enough to resist the Maha army?"

At this time, a refugee said, "The Maha army attacking Luoshui City was said to be heading north, so we kept running north, for fear of being chased." Another refugee said, "I heard that it was heading north, you forgot that we were almost caught up, and it was a general who saved us!"

"Is it that we are splitting our troops to seize some small cities?" An Yu said. The others also nodded: "I can only think so!"

Fang Youying said: "Time is urgent, let's take action separately! Junjun, you will take these people to Songbei Town. Chengfeng, Zhu Wei, Lefeng, and I will hurry to Songshui City to see the situation!"

"Sister! You should lead the people! You know, I cooperate with Chengfeng, Lefeng, Zhu Wei and others, and have a tacit understanding!" Fang Youjun argued.

An Yu, Zhu Wei, and Le Feng nodded at the same time. Yuanyi leaned against An Yu, as if afraid that he would be left behind. Yuanyi said, "I will not be separated from Yu'er!"

...

Songshui City.

There were not many Maha troops besieging Songshui City, only eight thousand people, and they were only infantry, and the weapons of siege were just cloud ladders, no stone throwing cars, no suspended ropes, and even no car crashes.

Because the city lord is An Yu and An Yu has been away for many years, the defense work in Songshui City is presided over by the three elders of the An family. Fortunately, the An family is also a general, and they have considerable talents in marching and fighting and defending the city.

Maha's team was originally coming in a vain and thought they would take down small cities with great momentum. Unexpectedly, the first Songshui City actually tripped them up completely.

The soldiers and horses in Songshui City are not very powerful, but they have many ways to defend the city. Over the past few days, it has been quite difficult to get close to Songshui City, let alone setting up ladders.

For example, yesterday, there was a breeze in the sky, and the Maha army launched a siege. The soldiers rushed to the vicinity of the city wall, but suddenly they saw that each guard on the top of the city wall had a cloth bag, not knowing what was inside. Just as the Maha soldiers were confused, the guards raised the cloth bag and sprinkled a red smoke!

"What is this?"

The red smoke drifted into the Maha army under the wind. Everyone coughed violently, and their eyes were burning: "Damn it! I actually sprinkled chili powder!"

Taking advantage of the chaos of the Maha army, the guards threw a few more fire thunders down, killing fifty or sixty people. The Maha army was actually repelled. Moreover, this is the first time that Songshui City has used fire thunders in more than ten days!

The power of fire thunder is quite powerful and put a lot of pressure on the Maha army. Therefore, when siege in the future, this aspect has to be considered. Who knows how many fire thunders there are in Songshui City? Moreover, the three elders of the An family want this effect, which is real and real, which makes the Maha army even more restrained...

The Maha army did not dare to attack the city, but was not idle, and planned to attack Songshui City again. This time, they spent three days cutting down trees to build siege weapons. First, a huge crash cart with a cover-up flank, and then built ten stone throwing cars, arranged in front of Songshui City gate.

At this moment, the three elders of the An family felt it difficult. They threw stones and threw stones to suppress them. The car could easily push the city gate. After three or five collisions, they could break open the city gate that was not very strong.
