Chapter 1487 I would rather be broken than jade
He Lingchuan shook his head: "At worst, they can just ship food from the country. Using food to strangle the Kabeja army won't last long."
Xin Yi also said: "Although the efficiency of transporting grain from Beijia is low, once Beijia is determined to conquer Yuheng City, it can still afford this cost."
With money, food, and materials, Vega had so much that he could squander them at will.
It has a habit of extravagance and waste.
"There are small countries around. Over time, they will still be able to get food and fodder, even if it's not much."
At this time, the guard came to report: "General, the meal is ready."
"Now that things have come to this, let's eat first." He Lingchuan said to everyone, "Eat well, we will have to take action at dawn."
Still have action? Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
He Lingchuan's aura was gloomy, and there was no smile on his face. Wen Daolun came closer and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
"Our game with Bai Moji must end soon." He Lingchuan looked at the lights on the wall of Beifu City. "The Beijia army attacked the city hysterically tonight. It seems like they are going all out. Perhaps Bai Moji is under too much pressure and must win. If the emperor is dissatisfied with his inaction on the front line, he won't stay for long. Let's send him off."
He had a deep understanding of how the bureaucratic system of Bega worked. If results were not achieved within the specified time, there would be punishment. Bai Moji sent troops on his own and failed to win, which was a disgrace to the demon country.
What's more, there is a prerequisite for He Lingchuan and Bai Moji to play the game of you attack and I defend, that is, the risks are controllable.
Once he realized that this game would truly harm Yuheng City, he would have no choice but to overturn the table and stop playing.
Wen Daolun also knew the pros and cons of this, but he was also puzzled: "Why didn't Bai Moji use these three giant mechanical insects earlier?"
He Lingchuan didn't know the reason: "Either there are restrictions on the use of these big guys, or he wants to leave them for Yuheng City?"
Wen Daolun hissed softly: "Yes, Yuheng City cannot open the escape barrier all the time. If it is invaded by this thing..."
"No matter what, this war will enter the next stage." He Lingchuan let out a long breath, "Mr. Wen, after tonight, Yuheng City will face even greater difficulties."
Wen Daolun laughed: "Isn't that why you and I came here?"
Two hours later, the long night was about to end and the east was already bright.
Liu Tiao and Sha Wei stood on the top of the Nanfu city wall, set up siege crossbows and aimed at the auxiliary city opposite.
"Do you see the red spires of the two corner towers on the far left and far right?"
"Yes!" Willow took another look. She remembered that the two buildings had black roofs, so how come they had red pointed corners now?
"aim."
Willow and Sha Wei set up their siege crossbows, each aiming at a red point.
He Lingchuan looked down and saw that the army had gathered at the foot of the city.
Everyone looked up at him in silence.
Silent, but stubborn.
They were ready to retake Beifu City.
He Lingchuan also set up a siege crossbow and aimed at a building in the center of Beifu City, which also had a red roof.
"shoot!"
Three specially made long crossbow arrows flew across a distance of a hundred feet with a whistling sound and hit the red target.
They have their own wind-fixing effect, can fly fast and steadily, and are almost unaffected by wind.
Boom, three loud bangs!
……
After settling in Beifu City, Bega's military servants were busy moving supplies from the riverside camp into the auxiliary city.
Only with high walls and thick gates can we serve as a stronghold for our future foothold.
Bai Moji washed off the blood and dust on his battle robe. The cool breeze blowing from the other side of the river blew away the depression in his heart and also whetted his appetite.
Everyone who was close to him knew that General Bai would always have a big meal after winning a battle, even if it was late at night.
The chef he brought from Lingxu City had already roasted a large piece of vanilla beef ribs for him. It was slow-roasted at a low temperature for three hours to ensure that the skin was crispy and the inside was soft.
Bai Moji ate the meat with big mouthfuls and rewarded the chef who grilled the meat generously.
He is generous when he is happy. Money can't buy his happiness!
However, he had only eaten half of his midnight snack when he heard a loud explosion, which shook the roof of his house so much that it almost shattered into dust.
Wall plaster and beam dust fell on the veal's flanks, making the good meat inedible.
However, Bai Moji had no time to care about food, and slammed the table and stood up: "Enemy attack..."
Before he could finish his words, there was another explosion. This time it was too close, and the wall facing Bai Moji was blown apart in an instant, and broken wood, bricks, tiles and mud immediately blew all over the heads and faces of everyone in the house!
Both the walls and the roof have skylights.
A guard standing against the wall was blown away, his life or death unknown. Bai Moji's ears were also buzzing from the shock, and he became deaf for a while.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of explosions continued, from near to far.
Bai Moji didn't even bother to brush off the dust on his head. He rushed to the wall and saw that there were serial explosions in the city. Stables, granaries, armories, barracks... were all burning.
The fire rose to the sky, horses neighed in fear, and people ran around.
Bai Moji was so frightened that he shouted, "Move the things! Quickly!"
The Bega army moved its camp overnight, transported its weapons and food into the warehouse, and the soldiers were resting in the camp, but then they encountered such a series of bombings!
Even though the Bega Army was well-informed, they were still stunned by the explosion. They had inspected the city several times before and had not seen any suspicious flammable or explosive materials.
The most urgent task is to rescue supplies!
The guard pointed to the south and shouted, "The city gate! General, look at the city gate!"
Bai Moji ran out of the collapsed wall hole and looked towards the city gate. All he saw was darkness.
The gate was down because the wall had collapsed, a whole section of it had collapsed, even the foundations had sunk in.
The soldiers on the city wall were not paying attention and several of them fell down, and bricks and stones were also falling.
"We've fallen into a trap!" Bai Moji stamped his feet repeatedly.
The Yuheng Army is not as wealthy as them, but since the establishment of the two auxiliary cities in the north and the south, they have embedded formation devices in the walls and foundations of main buildings to form a large formation called "burn jade and stone together"!
This formation is not normally activated because its only function is to self-destruct.
Destroy all important buildings in the city, including the city walls.
There were seventy-two formation weapons in total, which had long been buried in the foundation of the building, with bricks, tiles and mortar added from the outside. The invading army would not be able to detect it except for those who knew about it.
Its activation mode is "red target".
The red target was usually hidden in the building and would not be exposed. Before the Yuheng Army abandoned Beifu City, they put the red target on the roof.
The "Jade and Stone Burn Together" formation will be triggered only if both red targets are hit within ten breaths. As long as forty-two of the seventy-two formation instruments are still functioning, the formation can be activated.
So He Lingchuan and others fired three arrows at the same time, and explosions occurred everywhere in Beifu City.
Entire sections of the city wall collapsed, and even the main buildings in the city were reduced to sawdust.
The Bega army stationed in the city was blown to pieces. Even with the protection of Yuanli, more than a thousand people were injured, with varying degrees of severity.
Bai Moji couldn't help but curse loudly.
The other side would rather die than live in disgrace, and would not leave them even a single auxiliary city.
As the explosion sounded, the gate of Nanfu City opposite opened, drums sounded, and the Yuheng Army rushed over with roars!
At the front was a blood-red flag with a single large character fluttering in the wind:
贺!
He Lingchuan’s philosophy has always been to kill the enemy while it’s ill.
The Yuheng Army had been frustrated for most of the night, and rushed out for revenge at dawn, full of energy.
Bai Moji didn't even have time to curse. On the one hand, he organized the Bega army to resist the enemy, and on the other hand, he had to assign people to rescue supplies.
There wasn't enough food to begin with, and after all the frying and burning, ugh...
At this time, the main buildings in the auxiliary city were also destroyed, and there were only a few intact houses.
There was no city here originally, only a sentry tower. Later, Wen Daolun expanded it into a garrison city, and did not bring in ordinary people. So after the army withdrew, this was actually an empty city.
How could He Lingchuan leave such a good city to the enemy?
What they built with their own hands, they destroyed with their own hands!
Now the main target of the Yuheng Army's attack is the auxiliary city that was once in their hands, while the Beijia Army has to desperately protect it.
Even the well-informed Xin Yi murmured, "It's really eye-opening."
They say the battlefield situation changes rapidly, and this is becoming too interesting.
Building a city is not easy, so how difficult is it to destroy it? Yuheng City knows this auxiliary city inside and out, so this series of explosions was done with great skill and style.
Bai Moji originally wanted to keep Beifu City. After all, he really wanted a foothold on the west bank of a river!
But looking at the empty city walls, the burning auxiliary city, and the collapsing buildings, Bai Moji was a little confused for a moment.
What to guard?
How to keep it?
It was all burned down to an empty shell, what was the point of occupying this auxiliary city? If they wanted to station troops there, they had to rebuild it, and if they wanted to rebuild it, they had to cut down materials. How many Yuheng troops were there in the nearby forests waiting for the Beijia people to fall into their trap if they were left alone?
He pressed his temples, feeling his mouth dry and his head buzzing.
I’ve been tricked, I’ve been tricked! What should I do? What should I do?
The generals asked him for instructions two or three times before he calmed down and gave the order:
"Repair the city walls and keep the enemy out!"
It took him more than 20 days to stand on the west bank of the river, and he didn't want to retreat back to Jin Yao Kingdom easily. If he moved here, he could directly threaten Yu Heng City.
If we go back, we will be defeated.
But the terrain here is extremely flat, with at most a few sand slopes and no strategic locations to defend. It is not safe for the army camp to stand alone by the river.
Besides, I have never heard of any team being able to set up camp while resisting enemy attacks.
The best option is to stay in Beifu City.
If there is a fire, just put it out; if the city wall collapses, repair it as soon as possible so that it can still be used.
All the generals objected:
"General, the Yuheng army is attacking the South Gate, and we are too busy to repair it!"
"We have to vacate it even if we can't!" Bai Moji's face was green, his eyes were bloodshot, "If we can't fill it with sand and gravel, we'll use human lives to fill it!"
At this time, he felt a little regretful that he should not have sent the Xiluo army away.
The Xiluo army could not do anything else, but they had a large number of people. They blocked the collapsed hole in the city wall, and it took a lot of effort for the Yuheng army to break through them.
Now he has to use the elite Bega Army to fill the gap, and his heart bleeds.
