23rd day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar.
A group of warriors clad in armor descended like gods and arrived at Dagu, the important place for grain supplies.
These 300 armored soldiers didn't even move, and they came out of nowhere. They directly beat the defending soldiers of Dagu until they cried out for their parents. In the end, they burned the rations of Dagu to ashes.
After burning all the rations in Dagu, the 300 armored warriors did not stop. They traveled for 100 miles and arrived at the second granary in Daliang, Manxia. Just like in Dagu, after defeating the defenders, they burned all the rations in Manxia.
Then came the third granary.
The fourth one.
The fifth one.
The sixth tower.
The seventh.
Within a day, they had destroyed seven granaries of Daliang and burned all the grain that had been accumulated for years.
The three thousand silver-armored heavy cavalry led by Guan Yu marched straight into Daliang. Within a day, they had taken down five towns and two cities of Daliang. Wherever they passed, there was a bloody storm. Countless people were killed and beheaded.
Meanwhile, in Chang 'an.
"Crazy, crazy, this Ye Qiu is simply crazy. A mere 30,000 people actually dared to attack Liang Shidu.”
Looking at the secret report in his hand, Li Shi Min couldn't help but shout.
Everyone present knew that Ye Qiu was extremely daring. Otherwise, he wouldn't have robbed the Wuan County treasury, fought with Cheng and Qin, and extorted Li Shiming.
However, no one present had expected Ye Qiu to be so bold. With just the 30,000 soldiers of Guangyang County, he actually dared to attack Daliang.
Although Daliang did not have many soldiers, they still had three to four hundred thousand, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of Turkic cavalry behind them.
Li Er had always viewed Liang Shidu as a thorn in his flesh. He had always wanted to remove him, but he had never done so all these years. He did not expect Ye Qiu to do so.
"Impudent, impudent! This Ye Qiu is truly too impudent! The thirty thousand soldiers of Guangyang County are all soldiers of our Great Tang, yet he's actually going to attack Liang Shidu like this?”Wei Zheng could not help but curse.
"Your Majesty, I think this is a good thing.”Hou Junji said.
Li Shi Min looked at him and said nothing.
"Firstly, Guangyang County is currently empty, so we can take it down in one fell swoop. Secondly, Ye Qiu and Liang shi are already fighting, so we can use this opportunity to catch the oriole behind. No matter who wins, the other side will suffer a great loss, which is a good thing for us.”
"Hou Junji, what are you thinking? Although Ye Qiu has indeed done some infuriating things, look at what he has done to the people. Which of them hasn't made them clap their hands in joy?”Cheng Yaojin quickly retorted.
Hou Junji coldly harrumphed.
As Ye Qiu's number one fan, Qin Qiong quickly stood up and said,"Your Majesty, we can't let Ye Qiu go on alone. This humble subject thinks that we have to help Ye Qiu, and we can use this opportunity to destroy Daliang.”
Li Shi Min pondered for a moment and said,"Immediately send an order to Grand Marshal Li Jing. Order him to guard Jade Gate Pass and not allow a single Turkic soldier to enter. In addition, Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong will lead the Tiger Might Division and Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to the Anxi Protectorate. They must stop Liang Shidu's army in the north and not let them join forces to deal with Ye Qiu.”
"I, Qin Qiong, accept your orders."
"General Cheng Yaojin accepts the order."
Overnight, the entire Chang 'an was in turmoil. The entire Great Tang was in motion because of Ye Qiu.
After the crowd dispersed, Li Shi Min sat quietly in the royal study.
"Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu, you've really given this one a big problem. Now that this one has done all that he can, it's up to you to give this one a big surprise.”Li Shi Min muttered to himself.
The 25th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar
Ye Qiu split his troops into four groups and attacked Daliang.
Guan Yu led his strongest army of silver-armored heavy cavalry straight into the city. However, on the third day, they also stopped.
At this moment, there was a big city in front of them, Liangzhou City.
It was the second largest city in Daliang after Shuofang.
The city was ten feet high, and the walls were strong.
Although Guan Yu was a peerless general and these silver-armored heavy cavalry were also invincible cavalry, they were still stopped in their tracks.
Although the silver-armored heavy cavalry was invincible in the world, and the three thousand silver-armored heavy cavalry could crush tens of thousands of soldiers into pieces and throw away their armor, cavalry was still cavalry after all. They were powerful at charging into formations, but they could not attack cities.
The reason why Guan Yu was able to break through the two cities was because of their speed. They had taken advantage of the fact that the other party had not had time to defend and directly broke through them. However, now that Liangzhou City had not come out, they really could not take it down.
Just like Guan Yu, Ye Qiu was also stopped by a city.
What stopped him was the city of Xianzhou in front of him.
Xianzhou City had a total of 100,000 soldiers. Moreover, they were the same as Liangzhou City. They defended the city and did not come out. This immediately stopped Ye Qiu's footsteps.
Old Tie Cheng had divided his forces into ten thousand, Guan Yu had taken three thousand silver-armored heavy cavalry, and Ye Qiu only had ten thousand soldiers left. Fortunately, the three hundred Spartan warriors who had destroyed the rations had returned.
However, it was simply too difficult to break through a city defended by a hundred thousand soldiers with just ten thousand soldiers.
Ye Qiu looked at the city in front of him and fell silent.
It seemed that he had thought too simply. Even though he had an invincible army and the system, it was still not enough.
How to break through this wall in front of us? What about the incomparably hard city?
This was really a big problem.
With a crack, a clap of thunder rang out, and it suddenly began to rain heavily.
"Chief, it's raining. You should hurry back to the camp.”A lackey came over and quickly said.
Ye Qiu didn't move. At this moment, someone ran over and shouted,"Chief, Mister Zhuge is here.”
Ye Qiu's eyes lit up and he quickly ran back to his tent.
Zhuge Liang was wearing a crane cloak as he waited.
"Kong Ming, you came just in time. Now that our army has been stopped, do you have any ideas?”
"This subordinate is here for this matter.”As he spoke, Zhuge Liang unfolded a map of Daliang.
