The system forced me to be emperor

There was the State of Zhao first, and then the State of Qi. Why did they fall?It can only be said that the general trend is the trend, and depending on the trend, the mainland of China is likely to usher in a unification.

Unfortunately, I may not be able to see it.

At this time, Emperor Qi asked: "What are the soldiers and horses of Daxia doing? Are they ready to attack the city?"

Hai Yuntian said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Daxia army is stationed ten miles south of the city and is setting up camp. It seems that they have no intention of directly attacking. Moreover, the opponent's plan is to attack from the south gate, so [-]% of the troops in the city are also All concentrated in the south of the city."

"Old Hai, how long can we last?" Qi Huang couldn't help asking.

Hai Yuntian pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I don't even know!"

Qi Huang sighed and was not angry.

Yes, war matters change rapidly, who can guess the outcome?Three years ago, Emperor Qi did not believe that the Qi State would perish at all.

"Old Hai, go back and rest. If you have something to report, you can report directly to the palace without reporting." Qi Huang stood in the cold wind, wrapped in cold wind, and couldn't hold on any longer.

Hai Yuntian respectfully sent Emperor Qi back to the palace, seeing his staggering steps, Hai Yuntian couldn't help crying.

Go back to the hall and sit down. After a while, Qi Huang finally recovered.

"Queen and the others have been away for five or six days, is everything safe?" Qi Huang asked the internal officer beside him.

The internal officer replied: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, Fei Ge sent a message saying that the empress and several noble concubines disguised their identities and pretended to be fleeing merchants, so they were not discovered. They are not far from Tiandu Kingdom."

Qi Huang sighed: "This way I can rest assured!"

After he breathed a sigh of relief, he thought of something and asked, "Concubine Hui didn't leave?"

The inner officer nodded and said, "Concubine Hui is still in the bedroom and has not left."

"Forget it, don't mention her! I'm tired, take a short rest, and call me immediately if I have something to do." Qi Huang ordered.

The internal officials responded again and again.

......

At this time, the Daxia military camp outside the city.

After setting up camp and cooking, Champion Hou ordered the chef to take out the beef and mutton, and cooked a sumptuous dinner.

The soldiers of the Great Xia each had a big bowl, big steamed buns served with potato stew, and they could look up at the majestic imperial city of Qi, each of them chomping down on the meat, with eager eyes shining in their eyes.

Champion Hou didn't do any mobilization before the siege, he only ate a meal of meat, which completely drove the soldiers to fight.

Eat meat before the war, drink triumphantly!

This is the rule of champion Hou leading troops to fight!

As long as the city is conquered, great military achievements are waiting for everyone, with land, money, titles, and official positions. Isn't this what they pursue as soldiers?

Look at the soldiers under Chang Shenghou's command. Since they conquered the Fourteen States of Anxi, as long as they are willing to stay there, each person can share [-] acres of land, and the rent for renting land is one-tenth of the previous one, and they can also grow new crops!

The potatoes and sweet potato noodles they eat now are new crops.

It's fragrant, it's so fragrant!

So what are you waiting for, everyone can't wait.

At this time, in the big tent of the Chinese army, the champion Hou Zheng was eating with a group of generals.

These generals have seen the eagerness of the soldiers to make contributions, and they are not.

A Zhaowu general couldn't help asking: "Master Hou, when are we going to attack the city?"

Everyone looked at Zhuge Yuanxiong eagerly.

Zhuge Yuanxiong said with a smile: "The snow is getting smaller and smaller, and it looks like it is about to stop. When the snow stops, start attacking the city!"

Everyone geared up immediately.

Later, Zhuge Yuanxiong explained in detail his strategy for taking down the imperial city.

Chapter 602: Delivering Food to Refugees

Attacking Qi's imperial city by force is not a small difficulty, and it is likely to cause heavy casualties. It is not that Qi's soldiers are strong, but the biggest obstacle is actually the majestic city.

The imperial city of Qi refers to the entire capital, because the people of Qi respectfully call the capital the imperial city, so it has this name.

According to the division of buildings, the imperial city of Qi is divided into four parts, the outer city, the inner city, the imperial city and the palace city.

Every country pays special attention and attention to the construction of important capitals, and the emperor of Qi is the same.The outermost city wall is 48 miles long, 7.5 to 8 meters high, about 12 meters wide at the bottom, and about 9 meters wide at the top. There are twelve gates on all sides. turret.

If you want to climb up such a city by cloud ladder or wooden ladder, it is a living target, and the loss can be imagined.What's more, after breaking through the outer city, there is still a city wall inside.

Outer Guocheng is the inner city, the city wall is 12 to 15 meters high, the bottom is 20 meters thick, the top is 16 meters thick, and there is a female wall.There are nine city gates, four turrets, three water gates, two enemy towers, and a moat 170-30 meters wide outside the city.

The same is true for the Imperial City and Miyagi City. They are towering and tall, and it is very difficult to attack them by force. This is why it is said that siege is the next strategy.

As for the strategy of attacking the army, attacking the heart is the most important thing. The champion Hou naturally wants to take down the Qihuang Imperial City at the least cost.The first thing to do, of course, is to seal off the city and trap them inside, which cuts off the food supply.

When Prince He Ye Qingshan went to Great Xia, he had a special meeting with Champion Hou, and introduced the situation in the imperial city to him, and at the same time told him about Wei Nanzheng's possible defection to the Yuan Kingdom.At that time, Prince He deduced that Wei Nanzheng would definitely take the opportunity to let Yuan Guo loot the last granary, and as Prince He expected, Wei Nanzheng did exactly that.Also because this granary was robbed, the Imperial City of Qi directly lost its last life-saving ration.

So now there are very few grain reserves in the imperial city of Qi.

The first step is to cut off the supplies and trap them in the city, causing panic.

The second step is to brush a wave of rockets first... Ahem, this time I won’t put "fire" arrows, normal strong bows and crossbows will do, but you need to add some materials, tie something to the arrows, and then shoot them into the into the city.

The people in the outer city were refugees and poor people, but when Xia Jun was shooting arrows, the Qi army had already informed the refugees to hide, so they avoided the bows and arrows far away, and there were not too many casualties.However, they saw the dense cloth tied to the arrow shafts, which was found on every arrow shaft.

Some people curiously took off the cloth to observe, and those who could read read aloud: "Those who submit to the Great Xia will be rewarded with [-] acres of cultivated land each! No tax for ten years! Those who surrendered in Kaicheng will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold and given Baron status, a hundred acres of fertile land! Whoever kills Emperor Qi will be given the title of Earl..."

It turned out to be a letter of persuasion!

When the people around heard it, they were in an uproar.

They are all refugees and poor people. They don’t even have their own land. They are all tenants. Now the weather is always dry and flooded, and the rent is not guaranteed. If there is no harvest, they will have to owe the landlord’s food. Survival is lost.

Now it belongs to Daxia, with 100 acres per person. Now the family has seven or eight people, that is more than [-] acres of land, and there will be no tax for ten years, and all the land is owned by oneself!

For a time, all the people saw the golden grains in their eyes, their hearts were eager and their mouths were dry.

Not only the common people, but also the soldiers were greedy, but soon, Haiming, the general guarding the city of Qi, ordered the soldiers to collect the arrow feathers to prevent these rumors from raging.

But the fastest thing is gossip. In just half a day, everyone in the city knew about Daxia's letter of persuasion, and everyone whispered about it, causing panic in the city.

Qi Huang also saw the persuasion letter, he hated and was angry, but what can he do?We can only let the rumors spread in the city, the people's hearts are in turmoil, and there is nothing we can do.
