Chapter 191: Subduing the army to siege the city

At this time, Peng Mingzhong, who was standing aside, was no longer expressing his opinion. Now he finally understood Mu Ye’s thoughts. He wanted to use the surrendered troops to work hard for them. But this would be fine. He could take down Tongyuan City without losing his troops. This would definitely panic the guys in Dongdu City.

Now three of the four realms have pointed their finger at the Dongdu City. Next, it depends on how the general of the auxiliary country will deal with this crisis. After staying in Dalin City for a few days, Mu Ye led another 50,000 troops toward Tongyuan City. This time he brought a total of 20,000 surrendered troops and 30,000 Canglong Army soldiers, and the remaining troops were all left in Dalin City.

After Mu Ye occupied Dalin City this time, the items he collected almost fainted. The silver, land and items seized from Ouyang Shuo's mansion were worth millions of taels of silver. In addition, hundreds of thousands of dan of grain and grass, and the tens of thousands of sets of equipment in the arsenal made Mu Ye very happy. With so much food and grass, if he didn't make any noise for Xiahou Xiaoye, Yin Rui'e and others, he would be sorry for them, so Mu Ye thought of attacking Tongyuan City.

At the same time, Mu Ye also sent someone to send Mu Lanxin back to the Duke of Guru's Mansion. He believed that his second uncle would be very happy after seeing Mu Lanxin. At this moment, Mu Ye had to admire the Leng family father and son of the Killer Sect. Mu Lanxin learned such a powerful assassination technique in less than half a year in the Killer Sect. It seems that he really underestimated the heroes of the world. But this is good, at least Mu Lanxin has the ability to protect herself, and Mu Ye also envies the disguise technique that Mu Lanxin learned. The effect of fake and real made him dizzy.

In fact, Mu Ye also guessed in his heart why Mu Lanxin took this risk to assassinate Ouyang Shuo. On the one hand, it was to help him, and on the other hand, it was to make himself feel better. The death of his parents did indeed have a great blow to Mu Lanxin. Now Mu Lanxin is no longer the sweet girl she used to be. She has become a veritable female killer. Whenever Mu Ye thinks of this, he doesn't know whether to cry or laugh.

When Mu Ye led the army to the city of Tongyuan City, Tan Xianliang had already received news. He originally thought that the Canglong Army would lose troops and generals under the City of Dalin City, so there would be no chance to invade his Tongyuan City again. Unfortunately, his idea came to a big surprise. The Canglong Army not only quickly captured the City of Dalin City, but also occupied the entire territory of Dalin City without losing one soldier and one general. How could this not make Tan Xianliang frightened?

At the same time, the one who made him a little worried was Mu Ye. This guy was really lingering, and the speed of his development made Tan Xianliang feel angrily. He never expected that Mu Ye would kill him in a year, and command so many people to attack his city, making him afraid to face the opponent he had been hunted by him.

It seems that there is retribution in this world, and this Mu family can definitely be called a dragon and a phoenix among people. Just when Tan Xianliang sighed at how his fate was so painful, Mu Ye had ordered in his tent: "This time the attack on Tongyuan City adopts the tactic of siege three quads and one quadron. We have already obtained information. Now there are 5,000 defenders and 2,000 reserve troops in Tongyuan City, so I decided to put the main attack position at the north gate, while the south gate and the west gate are responsible for detailed attacks.

Now I order the first battalion of Canglong Army Dian Chong to lead 3,000 surrendered troops to attack the south gate. The second battalion of Ning Yuan led 3,000 surrendered troops to attack the west gate. As for the north gate of the main attack position, let the third battalion of Zhou Tong be responsible. Zhou Tong; I will give you 10,000 surrendered troops to attack the north gate. If you are lazy, you will be killed."

"Yes, I will follow the orders of the young master. Zhou Tong will definitely capture the North City Gate. If there is any mistake, he will be willing to be punished."

The captain named Zhou Tong is a child from the Zhou family, and he is also Zhou Tianhao's cousin. This time, Mu Ye only brought three familiar people, Zhou Tianhao, Peng Mingzhong and Meng Yifan, while the Zhao Jiaming brother and sister were responsible for guarding the northern territory. As for Peng Yuliang, he was left in the navy camp and was responsible for assisting Liang Zheng in managing the newly joined navy soldiers.

Just after Mu Ye assigned the mission, everyone began to prepare actively. The next day when the sun shone brightly, Mu Ye issued an order to attack the city. Teams of surrendered troops, led by Zhou Tong, Dian Chong and Ning Yuan, were divided into three teams and attacked the gate of Tongyuan City.

Standing on the city wall, Tan Xianliang, who saw the enemy's division into three teams, immediately understood Mu Ye's way of playing. After he called a messenger over, he said to him: "Send the order immediately and let the reserve army prepare for support here, and prepare for defense at the South Gate and the West Gate."

"Yes, follow the general's orders." After answering, the messenger immediately ran down the city tower.

At this moment, Zhou Tong had led 10,000 surrendered troops to the city of Tongyuan City. With a wave of his hand, thousands of surrendered troops rushed to the moat under the city. The main responsibility of these surrendered troops was to fill the trenches in the moat. After seeing the enemy attack, Tan Xianliang on the city wall immediately ordered the archers to shoot arrows and kill the enemy who filled the ditch. Soon, more than 200 surrendered troops were killed and injured by the moat.

At this time, Zhou Tong looked at the standing positions of the archers on the city wall, immediately passed the order: "Order the catapult to attack directly in front of us, and be sure to suppress the archers. At the same time, two thousand troops were sent to fill the moat for me, and our archers would also go up to suppress the enemy's offensive and clear the enemy troops on the city wall."

When Zhou Tong's order was delivered, the catapult cart in the rear immediately began to throw, and the surrendered troops sent out quickly came to the moat and accelerated the speed of filling the ditch.

After two hours of attack and defense, Zhou Tong sent his troops to fill the moat under Tongyuan City, and the surrendered army had nearly killed and injured thousands of people to complete the task of filling the ditch. At this moment, it was noon. After Zhou Tong withdrew the soldiers who filled the ditch, he ordered the second tier of 3,000 troops to take the ladder and attack the city wall.

At this time, Tan Xianliang, who was still guarding the city wall, immediately asked the soldiers to move the lywood and the rolling stones to the city wall. As soon as the enemy ladder came up, they would immediately throw the lywood and rolling stones down.

The battle was fought until nightfall, and Zhou Tong still did not take down the North City Gate after half of the casualties were killed or injured, which made him very angry. Just when he was about to carry out the night battle, he suddenly heard the order to withdraw troops from the rear, which forced Zhou Tong to clench his teeth and retreat.

When Zhou Tong came to Mu Ye's tent with a shame to apologize, Mu Ye did not blame him, but said to him with great comfort: "Person Zhou, I know you have done your best, and your performance today is also very good, and there is no mistake. If you want to blame, you can only blame the enemy for being too tenacious. However, after experiencing today's battle, I believe that the casualties of the defenders must be quite large. From tomorrow on, three groups of people attack the far city at the same time. Be sure to take down this city before dark."

"Yes, please follow the orders of the young master." At this time, Zhou Tong, Dian Chong and Ning Yuan both replied in unison.

Just when Mu Ye was dispatching troops, Tongyuan City was in bleakness. Today's siege reduced Tan Xianliang's strength by half. He arranged a total of 3,000 troops at the north gate, and had a reserve army of 2,000 troops, but the enemy's attack was too fierce, causing more than half of his men to be killed or injured. I really don't know how tomorrow's siege battle will be carried out.
