Chapter 37 The Battle of Jinyang (3)

Rounds of huge rocks continued to smash towards Lang Mengcheng.

The entire city wall splashed from top to bottom, and dust fluttered.

Most of the defenders above the city were gone to the city to hide. Even the Zhao army stationed above the city also hid their bodies behind the battlements and curled their whole bodies into a ball.

Deputy General Wang She led his personal guards and also came down from the city.

Looking at the shaking Lang Meng City Wall, Wang She knew that Lang Meng City might not be able to defend it.

A personal guard behind him approached Wang She's ear and whispered: "General, I'm not waiting for time!"

Hearing this, Deputy General Wang She stopped and stood speechless for a long time.

After a while, he looked up at the sky and ordered his guards beside him: "Let's go, go to the city gate."

The Yan army formations outside the city were arranged neatly.

There was no other sound in the formation except for the command sound from the catapult camp and the whistling sound of stones slashing across the sky.

Lejian immediately looked at Lang Mengcheng in front of him, and his mind was full of thoughts.

In the past few years, I have seen with my own eyes that Yan State has grown from small to large, from weak to strong, which can be described as "unbelievable". Especially the army of Yan State, after its military reform, its combat effectiveness has increased by not a single point.

After Lejian led his army southward, several Zhao cities in northern Langmeng did not lose much of the main force of the Yan army.

When most cities came, they took the initiative to surrender. One or two cities that were unwilling to surrender, Lejian sent one of the few partial troops and successfully conquered them.

A war is courage.

The Yan army who came to Langmeng City was in full swing at this time, and Lejian already knew that his cousin Lecheng's army did not send troops to reinforce the city. In order to prevent the night from long dreams, Lejian immediately made the decision to attack Langmeng City.

"General, the gate of Lang Mengcheng is open." Rong Yan shouted loudly beside Lejian.

The joy was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed.

He immediately pointed at Lang Mengcheng in front of him and ordered: "Stop throwing stones and rush into the city."

Suddenly, the Yan army's square formation under the city made a sound of "killing", and many Yan army rushed towards the gate.

As for false surrender and ambush, Yan Jun never thought that these did not exist in the face of absolute strength.

In less than half an hour, thick smoke came out of many places in the city.

"I originally wanted to fight a good battle, but I didn't expect the defenders to become cowardly and opened the city gate."

General Rongyan spitted out a mouthful of foam and rode on the war horse, saying very dissatisfied.

The music room was in front of me, my mouth opened, and for a moment, I didn't know what to say.

At this time, Lejian and the generals of the Yan army all knew that it was Xu Kai's deputy general Wang She and opened the city gate.

Rong Yan's deputy general Fang Hai, behind him, really wanted to cover his face after hearing this and said to Rong Yan, "I don't know you." The man opened the city gate. If you say this, you will offend many people, do you know?

Seeing this guy and having to say something, Fang Hai hurriedly stepped forward and came beside him.

He anxiously said to Rongyan: "Okay, stop talking."

Rong Yan was stunned for a moment, looked up at the main general Lejian, and found that his face looked very bad.

Talk, don't dare to say anything more.

A general of the Yan army came forward and said to Chang Guojun:

"General, this city has been broken, and there is no more natural danger in Jinyang County to stop our army."

Lejian nodded, turned around and ordered:

"Come to report the victory to the king and the court, and say that our army has conquered Lang Mengcheng."

In Jinyang City, in the study where Lecheng lives.

After seeing the news that had just been passed back, Le Cheng's expression changed.

After a long time, he murmured to himself: "Wolf Mengcheng was conquered so quickly. My cousin, it's time for you and me to lead the army to meet each other in person. I'm going to make a mistake, and it's impossible for me to retreat."

In this era, a house is thirty miles away.

Lejian and Lecheng, the cousin, all followed the general Le Yi.

The relationship between the two is not very good.

When I was young, one day when the two were laughing and playing together, Lejian once asked Le Cheng:

"Cousin, do you think I will lead the army to fight on the battlefield one day?"

At that time, Le Cheng laughed and said, "How is that possible? But if there really is one day, I will follow Duke Wen of Jin for my brother and lead the army to retreat to you."

Unexpectedly, the joke of the cousins ​​at that time came true.

Le Cheng always paid attention to the main trends of the Yan army, but he never expected that the Yan army would be so fierce. He found that the Yan army sent troops from Dai County. In just a few days, many cities in the northern part of Jinyang were captured by the Yan army.

Especially Lang Mengcheng, he was actually taken down by the Yan army one day and the guard general Xu Kai was killed in battle.

From Langmeng City to Jinyang City, it is the richest Jinyang Basin in the land of the Three Jins. It is flat and there is no natural danger to stop the Yan army. Although I had a premonition, Le Cheng was still surprised after receiving the information.

It has been three years since he came to Jinyang, and the Jinyang defenders also have 50,000. After learning that the Yan army had captured and replaced the county, Le Cheng had already started to mobilize comprehensively in Jinyang County. At this time, he received 50,000 young men, totaling 100,000.

A large army of 100,000 is already considered a lot. But compared to the Yan army, it is still not enough to see.

The more Le Cheng thought about it, the more annoyed he felt, and he cheered up and said to the lieutenant who came to report the news:

"There are detailed reports of the Yan army's attack on our city. I will tell you in detail."

"General, this..." The captain who came to report the news looked embarrassed.

Seeing the captain's face like this, Le Cheng woke up. Generally, such a major military situation would be rewarded first, and then a detailed battle report was submitted, and he was a little at a loss.

Thinking of this, a hint of fatigue appeared on Le Cheng's face.

He waved his hand to this repelling captain:

"It's not your fault. You can go down first and submit the detailed battle report as soon as possible."

"No." The lieutenant bowed and agreed and retreated.

The deputy general Hu Lu, who was next to the study, was speechless. He didn't know what to say about this message at this time.

"General, look at the last general. The Yan army is coming in a fierce manner and will definitely go to Jinyang. At this critical moment, if we want to defend Jinyang, we must get rid of internal troubles in advance."

After pondering for a while, the deputy general Hu Xie broke his silence and advised Le Cheng.

"General Hu Zi, are you talking about the Wang clan and other wealthy clans in the city?" Le Cheng asked.

"General, that's right." Hu Lu clasped his fists and bowed.

Le Cheng frowned and began to think.

During this period, Le Cheng began to collect food, grass, soldiers, etc. to guard Jinyang City, but none of them went well.

Whether it is Jinyang City or other counties, they are subject to many restrictions.

Le Cheng is not a fool either, he knows that someone must be instigating him.

After sending people to investigate, I found out that the people behind this were all local gentry represented by the Wang clan of Jinyang.

This matter is difficult to deal with! Le Cheng felt that he had no idea how to start.

You should know that the local gentry such as the Wang clan, not to mention that they have a deep foundation in Jinyang, but even in the entire Zhao court, the relationship is even more complicated, and their influence and background are very large.

If you dare to touch the wealthy families of Jinyang, you will eventually defeat the Yan army. Not only will your life be difficult to protect, but you may also affect your family. This is not a joke, nor is it a joke.
