Chapter 1280 Battle of Dragon City (Part 2)


    Chapter 1278: Battle of Dragon City (Part 2)


    The 60,000 Han troops went out of the frontier burned, killed and looted all the way, destroyed a total of 18 large and medium-sized tribes in Yuanmeng, massacred more than 300,000 Yuanmeng herders, and Huo Qubing won more than 150,000 along the way, which also activated Ran Min''s "Kill God"''s effect of increasing attributes twice.


    When 50,000 people were massacred before, Ran Min''s permanently increased attributes were randomly added to the intelligence aspect, while these two times were randomly added to the commander and force aspect respectively.


    Currently, Ran Min Wuwei: Commander 94, 107, Intelligence 75, Politics 65, Charm 97;


    Under the "blitzkrieg" between Huo Qubing and Zhuge Liang, the Yuanmeng tribe who was wandering outside Longcheng had almost no power of resistance.


    The two frontiers won consecutive battles, and they could defeat the enemy with the smallest casualties each time. They destroyed the eighteen tribes of the Yuanmeng and massacred 300,000 herders of the Yuanmeng. The total casualties reached only nearly 4,000.


    Before the two armies were about to enter, Huo Qubing and Zhuge Liang each sent 500 cavalry to **** the wounded and bring most of the captured back to Yanmen Pass. They joined forces with the remaining troops under Longcheng and then launched the final decisive battle with Yuanmeng.


    "That''s Dragon City?"


    Long Qi observed the city in the distance through the Qianli Mile Mile, and couldn''t help but exclaim: "Although it is not as good as the capitals of Luoyang and Chang''an, it is not much better than the prefectures such as Yecheng and Jinyang."


    Yuwen Chengdu and other generals were also surprised. Cities of this level are not common in the Central Plains, let alone on the grassland.


    "Hey, tell me, what method did Yuanmeng use to build such a big city in such a short time?" Yuwen Chengdu asked curiously.


    "How else can it be built? Of course it was built with slaves. Otherwise, why would you think Yuan Meng have formed so many slave army?" Ran Min said lightly.


    "In a few years, it is probably not enough to build such a giant city from scratch, just relying on slaves." Luo Yi said.


    "How did Yuan Meng build this Dragon City?" Luo Cheng asked curiously.


    All the generals showed a look of thought. Just as Ran Min was about to answer, Long Qi took the lead and said, "Cement technology."


    The generals showed a sudden look, and Long Qi continued, "Yuan Mengding obtained cement technology to build a giant city like Longcheng from scratch in such a short time."


    The labor required to build a city is undoubtedly huge, and the reason why the Jin army was able to build thirty cities on the Hetao Plain in just a few years was because of the cement technology.


    The reason why Long Qi is so sure is that the Ming Dynasty also relied on cement technology to build dozens of defensive bunkers in the Taihang Mountains, and a discerning person could tell that cement was used when he saw Longcheng.


    The technical content of cement technology is not high. As long as you are determined, you will definitely get it. The cement technology of the Ming Dynasty was stolen from the Jin army, and other princes have basically mastered it at present, so Long Qi is so sure that Yuan Meng can stolen it.


    But what Long You didn''t know was that the cement technology of the Ming Dynasty was not stolen, but was packaged and given to Emperor Ming by Qin Hao and the new grain.


    After Huo Qubing observed around Longcheng for a while, sighed and said to the generals: "I have observed it. Although the defense arrangement of Longcheng is not seamless, it is also very perfect.


    If we have an army of 100,000, as well as fifty catapults and twenty well railings, we will be confident that we can break through Dragon City.


    However, we only have 55,000 cavalry left, and we did not bring any siege equipment, so it is impossible to capture Longcheng. ”


    The generals couldn''t help but look disappointed when they heard this. They finally had to go out once, and they had already hit the corner of the Longcheng wall, but they were destined to be unable to enter Longcheng, so they would naturally feel disappointed. Zhuge Liang saw the expressions of the generals and said lightly: "There are still 90,000 elite soldiers and 180,000 new soldiers in Longcheng. With our current strength, even if we can break through the defense of Longcheng, we cannot completely occupy Longcheng."


    There were originally 100,000 elite soldiers and 200,000 new recruits in Longcheng, but when Huo Qubing attacked the only large tribes that were not lost, Longcheng sent 50,000 cavalry first to support, including 30,000 new recruits and 20,000 new recruits.


    In that battle, Huo Qubing appeared to have 30,000 cavalry against the Yuan Meng 50,000 cavalry, but Zhuge Liang''s army arrived in time and came from behind. The two armies attacked each other in one fell swoop.


    Yuan Meng''s 20,000 new soldiers were wiped out, and the elite soldiers also suffered 10,000 casualties, leaving only 20,000 veterans fled back to Longcheng.


    After winning the first battle, Huo Qubing pursued him for dozens of miles before retiring his troops. Then, Zhuge Liang''s troops of the coalition forces conquered the only large tribe and massacred more than 80,000 herdsmen.


    Perhaps it was because he had already suffered a crushing defeat, and when Huo Qubing led less than 60,000 cavalry and was approaching Longcheng, there were obviously 270,000 troops in Longcheng, but he did not dare to go out of the city to fight the Han army less than 60,000.


    It is precisely because Yuan Meng''s weak attitude gave the generals the illusion that they could defeat the Dragon City, so when they learned that they were destined to be unable to attack the Dragon City, the generals were so disappointed.


    "Really...no hope at all?"


    Long Qishu asked, although he was not from the Qin army and the Jin army, he still had great hope that the Han people could break through the capital of Yuanmeng, Longcheng.


    Long Qi is so tangent to each other, so there is no need to say other generals, and they all look at Zhuge Liang with great hope.


    "Liang is reminding everyone one thing: our mission has been completed. The 100,000-yuan Mongolian Iron Cavalry in Zhenbei Pass has been transferred back to the grassland because of us. In a few days, Murong Ke will lead the 100,000 iron cavalry reinforcements back to Longcheng."


    Hearing this, the generals no longer had any luck. After all, if they didn''t run away at this time, when Murong Ke came back, they would have to face less than 60,000 men and women.


    "But if you just withdraw like this, I believe everyone will not be willing to do so."


    Zhuge Liang suddenly changed his voice and said, "Liang has a plan. Although our army cannot occupy Longcheng, it can severely weaken Yuan Meng''s troops."


    All the generals, including Huo Qubing, had their eyes lit up after hearing Zhuge Liang''s words, and Huo Qubing said anxiously: "Military advisor, please come quickly."


    "If you want to defeat Yuan Meng, you must lead him out of the city."


    "But Yuan Meng was already scared by our army and dared not leave the city." Luo Cheng said.


    "The Yuan army in Longcheng is several times that of our army, so how could it be afraid of our army''s people?"


    Zhuge Liang''s eyes were full of wisdom, and he gently waved the feather fan and said slowly: "The reason why he did not dare to fight is not because of fear, but because of caution."
