Enduring the Winter Chapter 156: Compete for the city
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Honeysuckle: Game of Destiny!
It can be said that Liu Gan's joy of returning to Shuanglongzhai this time diminished, and even a little regretful. Because of this back and forth nearly a week, a lot of time was wasted.
When I came to the school, I saw Yan Ling was sweating profusely and training recruits. Since the migrant workers recruited from the four districts were enough, they finally put aside the repair work and focused on training.
Seeing that Liu Gan is here, Yan Ling came to him and said with a smile: "Why did you come back so soon?"
"Why, don't you want me to come back?"
Looking at Liu Gan's eyes, Yan Ling said solemnly: "Are you going to leave again?"
Yan Ling suddenly changed the front of the conversation, which caught Liu Gan a bit by surprise, but this was his purpose. After reacting, he said in a serious tone: "Yes."
"Can you not go?" Unexpectedly, Yan Ling objected.
Liu Gan sighed and said, "Whether it is for me or you, I am going to go after all."
"I see." Yan Ling turned around and went to gather the troops.
From the bottom of my heart, Liu Gan certainly didn't want to go. Being able to fight monsters, practice levels, and not have to participate in this kind of dispute that may lose your life at any time, let alone her staying with her, Liu Gan is naturally very happy. However, the north wall of Yecheng was broken, and Master Qin would attack sooner or later. At that time, it would definitely be inferior in terms of military strength and expert resources. It would be a problem to escape.
Moreover, the world is obviously not so peaceful anymore. The children of doom have gradually stepped onto this stage.
And this world will be their world after all!
Liu Gan set out with eight thousand soldiers, only Qingzhi was beside him, and of course Xiao Bai followed. It's not that he doesn't want to bring everyone on board, but Yecheng's defense is insufficient at this time, so he can only leave Li Zhi and Yan Ling to defend in case of any accidents.
In these days, Master Qin has completely taken control of Luoyang City, and even sent troops to the south and stationed in Beijing City. What Liu Gan has to do now is to take down several big cities as capital for confrontation.
There are people like Kong Ning who did this with him. They acted even earlier than Liu Gan and had already taken the city of Baihua and the city of Shuzhong. The goal of Liu Gan's trip was Jinzhou.
Like Yecheng, Jinzhou is a big city, but at this time there are not many residents in the city. As Qin's army was heading, Luoyang imperial city fell, and the residents had already heard the news. As long as they had some knowledge, they sold their property and fled to the south. Even Liu Qian's Yecheng has recently received many refugees. And Liu Gan traveled all the way, but also did not reach many refugees who dragged their families.
Although they are sorry for these people, Liu Gan, who has been too late for many days, understands that winning Jinzhou is the top priority.
When they came to the outside of Jinzhou City, they saw that the tall city gate was closed tightly, and it seemed that they had already encountered war. And the horse detection in front reported that Master Qin was pursuing him twenty miles north of the city.
Liu Gan came under the city and shouted loudly: "I'm here to support. Hurry up and open the city gate and let us in, together to resist the coming Qin soldiers."
It is obviously impossible for the general on the city wall to open the city gate just because of his words: "General under the city, dare to ask his name?"
"I am a general under the war front, and I have this token as proof!" Liu Gan shook the token in his hand, but obviously, it was no longer effective at this moment.
The general in the city said: "Presumably you are the nameless, just the city lord has ordered, but some people say that the soldiers of the war front will all welcome in." After that, the command opened the gate of the city and made Liu Gan this. A group of people greeted the entrance.
Liu Gan is a little bit confused. It is reasonable to say that the city lord who knows his identity does not need to open the city gate. Because he is a member of Dashang, he is not a fellow traveler with Luoyang at all. However, when meeting the lord, Liu Qian understood.
The visitor is a small man, his hair is meticulously combed, and the mustache on his lips is a big sign.
After being introduced by Napian, this person is Jinzhou City Lord, Shengxing.
"Sheng Mou is really honored to be able to come here!"
The city owner was extremely polite, and didn't even mention that the two of them had different positions.
And Liu Gan asked directly: "I just don't know you have seen my identity, why should you let me into the city?"
Who knows that Shengxing laughed and said: "Dashang and Luoyang are all people of the same race, but Daqin is a foreign race. Even if I wait for my death, I will not give this city away." /
Liu Gan understood this after hearing this. Shengxing knew that he couldn't hold it anymore, so he could only find foreign aid, but at this time there was no reinforcement, so in the end he could only look at the southern city of Yecheng, which is now Liu Gan.
The two integrated the forces in their hands and found that even less than 20,000 people made Liu Gan quite depressed. But thinking that there are already ten rooms and empty spaces in this city, and the rest are basically poor people who can't even get enough rations to go out of the city, Liu Gan is relieved.
Not long after the discussion, someone from outside came in to report that Master Qin was less than ten miles away. The two looked at each other and hurried to the wall.
When the mighty Qin Master hadn't appeared on the horizon, there was a tremor on the ground, and it seemed that something extraordinary was coming. Liu Gan knew that this was a cavalry, a large-scale cavalry.
Sure enough, the Qin division who came in front of him had nearly three thousand cavalry. The cavalry were scattered and moved fast, so they were the first to reach the city.
"The people in the city listen, open the city gate and surrender quickly, otherwise, the whole city will be cut on the day it breaks!" A man rode up to the front, like a city shouting.
After three consecutive times, there was no movement, and he ran back again. In Liu Gan's field of vision, he saw that man came to the middle of the team, in front of a leader who looked like a general, and seemed to want him to report and ask for the next order.
It didn't take long for the cavalry to move again. They dispersed, turned into two strands, bypassed the city wall, and ran to the south.
Liu Gan said: "It seems that they are preparing to attack the city."
Sheng Xing also nodded, and said: "I have also heard of it. The first time I saw Master Qin today, I didn't expect it to be like what the rumors said."
"I would like to hear the details." Liu Gan didn't understand, so he put on a look of asking for advice and listened very much.
Sheng Xing said: "It is said that Qin’s siege has always been a tough method. First, they will send a small number of cavalry to block the three roads, and then the main force will attack one direction. If the enemy wants to retreat, then the hidden cavalry will chase after it. Kill. And if you stick to it, you will soon be breached."
"Oh? Why is this?" Liu Gan was surprised and curious.
"Because they have a crystal cannon in their hands."
Liu Gan had never heard of this thing before, and asked: "What is a crystal cannon?"
"Let's put it this way", Shengxing's face was bitter, and he explained: "A weapon that uses spar as an energy source is said to be able to pierce a three-foot-high city wall in one shot!"
Liu Gan swallowed a mouthful of saliva. It is hard to imagine such a siege weapon!
"So, doesn't it mean that we will lose?"
Sheng Xing sighed, the bitterness on his face continued, and said: "Yes. If it weren't for the slow transportation of the crystal cannon, I am afraid that there is no complete city in Luoyang now!"
