Chapter 32: Conquering Langshi City
The resistance in Langshi City was as Nangong Yu imagined. After Zamde took out the 5,000 elite cavalry of Langshi City, the remaining 20,000 remaining troops were basically engineers and mechanical soldiers, and his combat effectiveness was pitifully weak.
Moreover, there were 15,000 engineers and mechanical soldiers stationed on three sides of Langshi City, with only 5,000 people in the city. These 5,000 people were about to collapse with Nangong Yu's 4,000 people. The army was killed by Nangong Yu's 4,000 people, and fled everywhere.
Nangong Yu was not too serious about chasing these defeated soldiers, and he placed the main attack on the direction of the city wall on the east side of Langshi City. As long as the defenders on the wall were solved, the city gate was opened and the army of the Thunder Army and the Fire Army came in, the battle could basically end. As for the Xiqi defenders on the north and south sides of Langshi City, it is not worth mentioning.
Things also developed quite smoothly as Nangong Yu expected. These Xiqi engineers and mechanical soldiers were slaughtered by Nangong Yu's 4,000 people like lambs. It only took half an hour from launching a sudden attack to attacking the eastern wall of Shanglang Shicheng.
The city wall on the east side of Langshi City was taken down. As soon as the city gate opened, the Qin army immediately rushed in and immediately rushed towards the city wall on the north and south sides of Langshi City.
Before Langshicheng was captured by the Qin army, Yuwen Hu from the headquarters of the commander of the Xiqi Three Army also received a pigeon flying from Langshicheng. Yuwen Hu looked at the handwriting on the cloth strip taken from the pigeon's legs and was shocked. The Qin army was about to capture Langshicheng, and it was attacked inside and outside. How could this be possible?!
Even though Yuwen Hu didn't believe it, the handwriting on the cloth strip was obviously very panicked, which was enough to show the credibility of the war report.
Fan Ritu, who was beside Yuwen Hu, took the cloth strip and saw it, his expression immediately became shocked, and then cursed: "This idiot Zamde, he really lost Langshicheng. Commander Yuwen, what did I say at the beginning? Zamde is eager for quick success and instant benefits. He shouldn't let this idiot go to guard Langshicheng. Now, Langshicheng is in danger!"
"What's the use of talking about these now? Zamde is also a disciple of the national master. If I don't use him seriously, the national master will definitely be unhappy!" Yuwenhu's expression was dejected.
"My master is unhappy, this is a trivial matter. Now Zamde is dead, I'm afraid he is not just unhappy." Fan Ritu said with some gloating pleasure. Zamde finally died. A native bun from a peasant family also wants to compete for favor with his children of this aristocratic family, and deserves it.
"The royal black rhinoceros beast army has not been approved yet, and Langshicheng cannot be lost yet!" Yuwenhu suddenly raised his head and stared at Fan Ritu: "General Fan, I will order you to lead your vine armor army to rescue immediately!"
"Commander, my vine armor army is a cavalry unit. The cavalry is not good at attacking tough times. Moreover, no matter how fast my vine armor army is, it will take at least an hour to reach Langshi City. In one hour, I'm afraid the Qin army has already taken Langshi City. You should send the garrison from Tianxue City, the closest to Langshi City. They can arrive at Langshi City in half an hour!" Fan Ritu said.
"Then why are you still standing there? Hurry up and convey my order to the garrison of Tianxue City on my behalf, so that they will take back Langshi City at all costs!" Yuwen Hu roared.
"yes!"
Seeing Fan Ritu walking out quickly, Yuwen Hu frowned. He had to think of a solution. Zamde died, and he had to give an explanation to the National Master. Secondly, he also had to make plans to lose Langshi City. Langshi City was originally a chess piece that restrained the progress of the Qin army, but Yuwen Hu was too confident in the guards of Langshi City. Unexpectedly, the Qin army would take Langshi City like this.
Once Langshicheng was lost, the Qin army could drive straight into the hinterland of Xiqi for two hundred miles. Yuwenhu had to block the pace of the Qin army. His original plan was to wait for the royal Black Rhino Beast Army to approve it and fight the Qin army in these two hundred miles of plains. Now, the original plan has gone bankrupt, and Yuwenhu must come up with a solution.
Let’s talk about Zhao Ziyun’s place. When he received the battle report from the scouts, Zhao Ziyun’s eyes narrowed. Nangong Yu, indeed, created another miracle. Haha, once Lang Shicheng was taken down, his army could drive straight into the hinterland of Xiqi for two hundred miles.
Zhao Ziyun looked at the topographic map of the Xiqi army on the map. The city closest to Langshi City is Tianxue City. Langshi City is in danger. The area of Tianxue City will send heavy troops to support Langshi City. Zhao Ziyun's mind flashed and changed his original combat plan. He immediately wrote two letters of books and quickly passed one letter to Hongwu with a carrier pigeon and another letter to the cavalry commander of the Thunder Army.
At this time, Hongwu, who was ambushing in Chixia Valley, looked at the fire burning in the direction of Langshi City, and followed the deputy commander of the Hongshui Army beside him and sighed: "I really didn't expect that Nangong Yu could really conquer Langshi City."
"Sir, if you had dug Nangong Yu to our Hongshui Army, I'm afraid the credit for the capture of Langshi City this time would be our Hongshui Army!" The deputy commander said with some regret.
"It's not easy to dig him over!" Hongwu shook his head and said, "Now that their fire army has conquered Langshi City, I have to prepare for him this 100,000 gold!"
"Captain, do you really give him 100,000 gold?" The deputy commander was a little shocked. 100,000 gold is not a small amount.
"You must be honest in life. Although I looked down on their Fire Army before, now our Hongshui Army is known as one of the top ten ace troops, and their Fire Army has not been able to conquer Langshi City, but they Fire Army have just been captured. We must be convinced!" Hongwu said with a wry smile.
"Mr. Commander, the urgent letter from the commander!" At this time, the communications soldier handed Hongwu a small bamboo tube that had just been taken off the legs of the carrier pigeon.
Hongwu quickly took the small bamboo tube, took out the cloth strip from it, and looked at it, and his expression immediately became serious: "Deputy Commander, you lead half of the army to stare here, drag the Xiqi reinforcements tightly, and then the cavalry of the Thunder Army will come to support you and cooperate with you to eliminate all these Xiqi reinforcements. Tianxue City is now empty, and I will now take the other half to attack Tianxue City!"
