Chapter 698: Soldiers besieging the county and city 2

The time Gong Yi gave Yan Yan was not sufficient, but it was definitely more than the three or four days they had said before.

However, Yan Yan did not dare to delay for a moment, so he set off early in the morning and drove by the starlight.

It wasn't until the sun rose high that people stopped to eat and rest.

When the sun sets in the west, they start to go on the road again, and they won't rest again until midnight.

But this time it was just a short rest, because they still had a long way to go before the sun rose.

Only in this way can they avoid most of the troops and reach Cheng'an County as quickly as possible.

In order to cover the severe operations and push the battlefield to the county and city areas, Gong Yi also launched a general offensive on the front line.

The Shun army had already received intelligence from the county and city, and knew that the Divine Guards would launch an attack in the near future, so they were well prepared.

But the result is still the same.

As long as the God Guards are serious, no city can defend them.

The same goes for Shundu City!

There is actually not much difference between Shunjun being prepared and unprepared.

The 160,000 to 70,000 obedient troops on the front line were like mantis arms blocking the carriage in front of less than 120,000 Divine Guards, and could capsize at any time.

The soldiers of the Shun Army who were facing the attack of the Divine Guards felt the most profoundly.

The previous rebels were also very powerful, but not to this extent!

What's going on with the armor on them?

Why does my spear bounce back when I poke it in their chest?

How come their swords and guns hurt my body so much?

oh! It doesn’t hurt anymore, it won’t hurt soon.

I don’t know how many soldiers lost their lives before they could figure out why today’s Divine Guards had changed so much.

There is no Yang Yuan here, but there is no shortage of siege equipment.

It's even more complete than what's in Yang Yuan's space.

"Tell them not to be reluctant to part with ammunition. As long as they can break through the city wall as quickly as possible, I can throw out as much ammunition as I have!"

Now the generals of the Divine Guards are very wealthy. After the Divine Guards occupy a place, the first thing Yang Yuan does is to resume production, and the second thing is to build various infrastructures.

As for things like public security and suppressing bandits, they were already completed during the occupation. If even public security cannot be restored, is it still called an occupation?

The soldiers of the Shun Army in the cities on the front line were dazzled by the various siege equipment of the Divine Guards, and were stunned for a while.

It's rare to be defeated, but it's rare to be blinded.

The generals of some cities did not even know how to defend against the attack of the Divine Guards.

They have never seen such an siege method before, and using their past experience to defend has not been very effective. It should be said that the effect is very poor.

It has no effect at all.

what to do?

We can only use the stupidest method to deal with it, and pay for it with the lives of soldiers.

It's still difficult.

In just one day, the Divine Guards achieved very good results.

"Shuai Gong, the attack is going very smoothly. We can conquer the city as early as tomorrow."

"That's right. Keep up the good work and try to break through all the cities on Shunjun's defense line the day after tomorrow."

"Don't worry, Gong Shuai, we can definitely do it!"

On the second day, the Divine Guards' offensive became even more fierce, and they used the same tactics as Yang Yuan.

Blast the walls with gunpowder.

The effect is very good.

Under the cover of a frontal attack, some God Guard soldiers dug tunnels in the weak spots of the city wall and filled them with explosives.

With loud noises, the cities changed their owners one after another.

It's just that the Divine Guards don't have more energy to manage these cities, so they can only wait for the Xuanwu Legion behind them to come up and take over.

The Qinglong Legion has already entered the battlefield, and the Xuanwu Legion is not slow either.

Bad news spread back to Cheng'an County one after another, making the atmosphere in the city gradually tense.

Although ordinary people do not understand the battle reports on the front line, all kinds of gossip are flying around.

"Have you heard? The champion on the front line was defeated and suffered heavy casualties!"

"Impossible? Didn't I hear that the rebel attack has been blocked?"

"Hey, are those officials telling the truth? According to them, the world is peaceful!"

"Hey, brother Dong, be careful what you say! Be careful what you say!"

"Let's not talk about national affairs and be more prepared to deal with war. Otherwise, we will have to move again!"

Those who can move are those with some wealth and a way out, but even in counties and cities, ordinary people and even poor people are the majority.

They don't know what's happening on the front line, and even if they know, they have no way to deal with it. The most they can do is sell what they can at home, buy more food, and store it.

You have to do it secretly, otherwise no one will care whether you bought the food in a crisis.

County town, county governor's house.

Cheng'an County Sheriff is no longer the owner of this place. Although he is still here, he has moved away.

If Hao Daozong was not sick, he would definitely not agree to live here. The dignified county magistrate must respect him and cannot let people move when he comes.

Cheng'an County Sheriff took the initiative to give up the County Sheriff's Mansion, firstly because the military will be the main focus of the upcoming war, and the County Sheriff's Mansion is large enough and has better confidentiality;

Secondly, it was also because the county governor admired Hao Daozong.

After Hao Daozong came out of the mountain, the Shunguo officialdom had two attitudes towards it, one was resistance and the other was admiration.

The county governor happened to admire Hao Daozong.

And he is a smart man. He knows that there will be no problem in making friends with Hao Daozong at this time.

Especially Hao Daozong after he fell ill.

Anyone who heard that he had given up the county governor's mansion to him would have to say a word of benevolence.

But at this time, the lobby of the Sheriff's Mansion was filled with a solemn atmosphere.

Wu Xiong sat together with seven or eight generals of the Shun army and three chief officials of Cheng'an County, looking at each other in silence.

The battle report from the front line has not been sent back yet, and one day is still too short.

But they already had a bad feeling in their hearts.

Such a big movement from the Divine Guards could not be seen as a simple test.

The final battle begins.

And their commander is still lying in bed, and he doesn't even dare to send battle reports from the front line.

This battle is so painful!

"Tell me, what should we do next?"

Wu Xiong said expressionlessly.

He was also miserable. He thought that coming to Cheng'an County would turn the tide, but he didn't expect bad news to come one after another.

What he did most after coming to Cheng'an County was to write letters to the court asking for help.

Shame on you!

But even if his letters for help are sent back one after another, Chengan County has not received any support yet.

Most of the ministers have recognized the reality. Now the supplies and newly recruited talents from the south are gathering in the capital. They want to ensure the safety of the capital.

Wu Xiong also guessed what the ministers in the royal capital were thinking.

If he was still in the royal capital, he would also support it.

But now that he is in Chengan County, he has to think more about Chengan County. The people here are also the subjects of Shunguo, and the soldiers here are also the cornerstone of Shunguo.

After Wu Xiong spoke out, the hall was finally no longer silent, but no one immediately came out to answer Wu Xiong's questions. There were quite a few discussions in low voices.

Wu Xiong was not angry either. If someone really stood up and answered him immediately, he would probably have to mutter in his heart that this person is a flatterer!

It’s a good idea to discuss it, and the result that comes out of everyone’s discussion is the best result!
