Chapter 360
The Dawei Dynasty has already learned about the mobilization of troops from the Northern Plains, and has made preparations.The Beiyuan people will never procrastinate any more. The Dawei Dynasty understands the truth that soldiers are expensive and fast, and the Beiyuan people also understand it.

During these times, the Northern Plains people were very uncomfortable being beaten by the cannons and muskets of the Dawei Dynasty.Therefore, the Beiyuan people decided to concentrate their forces this time and take down a city. It would be even better if they could get these weapons from the Dawei Dynasty.

And the best target is Tianyuan City in Beiyuan Prefecture. Tianyuan City is a relatively prominent city. This prominent refers to its relatively prominent geographical location.It was originally taken back from the people of Beiyuan, so the geographical location is a bit deep into the northern prairie.

However, it was also because after it was taken back, the city was rebuilt and the city wall was even taller.Now that there are artillery guns, it is easier to defend.However, this geographical location factor cannot be ignored, because of this "prominence", when rushing over to support, I was still very afraid of being ambushed by the people of the Northern Plains or cutting off food and grass.

Now the Beiyuan people want to take this Tianyuan City and make Tianyuan City their own.Although it is difficult to fight, once it is defeated and becomes its own, it will be the same difficulty for the Dawei Dynasty to conquer.Even because of the geographical location, it was very easy for the Beiyuan Royal Court to support them, but if the people of the Dawei Dynasty supported them, there were still problems.

Therefore, Tianyuan City was surrounded by Beiyuan people, and the siege was fought.

The people of Beiyuan also know that being surrounded for a long time is not an option. If the Dawei Dynasty is given enough time to react, and then gather a large army to reinforce, other cities will not be affected, and even if a large army is ambushed, the damage it will suffer is the same. within the acceptable range.

Therefore, the people of Beiyuan want to fight, and fight fiercely. It is naturally the best if they can win the city as soon as possible.If it can't be won, the Dawei Dynasty will have to rush to send troops to help. Destroying the supporting troops is also a big gain.

The Beiyuan people began to attack the city. This battle was destined to not be easy. Outside Tianyuan City, artillery fire was flying, dust was raised, and the sky was blocked.In this weather with the sun high in the sky, the sun could not be seen clearly on the battlefield. One can imagine how tragic it was.

And under the city wall, not to mention, there are so many corpses and bones that it is not that easy to attack the city.

Tianyuan City has a unique geographical location. How could the people of the Dawei Dynasty not know about it?How could Yang Tianci not be prepared?First of all, the supplies and food are naturally prepared, which are very sufficient.

Most of the artillery, guns and ammunition of the Firearms Bureau were sent to Beiyuan Prefecture, and the city that Beiyuan Prefecture took the most was Tianyuan City, which held more than twice as much supplies.

Grain and grass have been prepared long ago, and several granaries have been built. Although they are not yet full, half of the granaries are full.After all, it was to prepare for the decisive battle against the Beiyuan Royal Court in a few years. At that time, when troops were to be dispatched to Beiyuan, Tianyuan City would be the best backup.

The defender of Tianyuan City, Zhao Shou, is as his name suggests, and he still has skills in defending the city.Of course, Zhao Shou's name is not as famous as He Chu's. After all, He Chu has been guarding Xisha City for many years.

"Hmph, you son of Beiyuan, you still want to take down our Tianyuan City. If it was a few years ago, it would have been possible, but now, don't even think about it."

Zhao Shou was stationed on the city wall. The soldiers were already quite tired, but fortunately, relying on various defense weapons and defense preparations, the casualties of the defenders were not too many now.But if the soldiers are exhausted after another two or three days of fighting like this, it will be hard to say.

Looking at the Beiyuan people who retreated temporarily, Zhao Shou was still a little worried. The small number was a disadvantage.It's not that there are few defenders in Tianyuan City, but that there are too many Beiyuan people this time. In comparison, such a small number of people seems a bit insufficient.

"The imperial court has already received the news, right? Presumably they will send people to support soon? Two days, no, four more days, if you don't come, you really can't hold on."

Zhao Shou's deputy general has mobilized the common people to help out, such as using carts to help transport some strategic materials, to transport some food and so on.

For example, prepare some kerosene, some rolling logs, and stones, and prepare some food. Later, we will cook porridge under the city wall and let the soldiers eat it here. Who knows if the people of Beiyuan will Suddenly struck.Those that are more dangerous, such as artillery ammunition, small explosives, etc., are still transported by their own soldiers.

The Beiyuan people didn't have it easy either. After this battle, they suffered a lot of damage, mainly due to these weapons. It was too terrifying.

Ultra-long-range artillery and muskets have replaced bows and arrows. These "invisible arrows" are also very deadly. It is not that safe under the city wall. Pour kerosene, light a fire, throw a small explosive bag or something. Yes, very powerful.

However, the Beiyuan people had already made plans to attack with force and must capture it as soon as possible.As for the heavy damage, the Beiyuan people also had a way to deal with it, and that was some Ice and Sand people captured by the Beiyuan people.Use these people to lead the battle, consume some supplies, and consume the strength of the soldiers.

"Tonight, we will continue to attack the city. Send out half of these prisoners and let them lead the battle to consume the Han people's strength."

"Yes, General Doshilei."

Zhao Shou didn't have much time to rest at all. When the soldiers retreated, many soldiers had already started to rest while sitting on the city wall, and some even fell asleep by accident. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was still It's a little cold, but there's nothing you can do about it.

As night fell, before Zhao Shou had time to rest, the people from Beiyuan attacked again.Zhao Shou could only lead the soldiers to defend again, but under the twilight, the artillery, a super-long-distance weapon, was not very effective, and even the use of muskets was weakened a lot.

After all, Zhao Shou couldn't see the situation outside clearly, so he had no choice but to wait for these people from the Northern Plains to get closer before attacking.If you fight blindly now, it is a waste of materials.

It should have been a quiet night, but there was no rest around the city wall.Many people in the city had the experience of being attacked by the Beiyuan people, but this time it was different. The Beiyuan people came aggressively, and there was such a big movement this night, which made the people a little panicked.

It was another hard fight. After the hard fight, even Zhao Shou was a little tired. Originally, only some prisoners came up.But the Beiyuan people also discovered this advantage, so they simply sent some more regular troops over.

Although it failed to take down, the strategic material consumption was huge, and the damage was much more.

The Beiyuan people also saw this clearly, so they finally retreated. It was just a temporary retreat, and it would definitely continue tomorrow. Even tomorrow night, it would be hard for Zhao Shou to say.

"Gritting your teeth tomorrow night, you may be able to hold on, but the day after tomorrow is really not sure. This time, the people of Beiyuan are really aggressive." Zhao Shou was not stupid enough to let all the soldiers go into battle, after all, the other party did not With all my strength, I can handle it now, so I still reserve some of my strength for rotation.The Beiyuan people also saw this, so they temporarily evacuated. When all the defenders are half dead from exhaustion tomorrow, it will be the time for the Beiyuan people to attack aggressively at night.
