Chapter Two Hundred and One: Preparation

In this way, the news of the Turkic attack spread from the north gate of Chang'an City. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

It has just ended the chaos caused by the real martial arts meeting, and many people don't know whether it's true or not.

All of them will be skeptical, but they just think that this time it will not be rumors spread by people who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

After all, I only heard about it.

If this kind of emergency is really encountered, how can it be spread casually like this, and you are not afraid that they will panic and become a mess?

The sheer amount of this and could be a rumor.

Most people don't pay much attention to it.

It's just that what they didn't see was the situation of the two of them at the north gate.

If they saw it, an arrogant guard, and a scout with urgent information, they would surely understand why this news was leaked to them grass people.

In the palace at this time, after getting the exact information of the scouts, Emperor Hua Wen and the others did not doubt the truth of this matter.

Because the written military intelligence report was written by the general in charge of the northern town and the Turks, and it was also stamped with a particularly careful print issued by Emperor Huawen.

The scout who gave the order had been seen by Emperor Hua Wen before, and he could confirm that this Ren was credible.

As for the intelligence that the Turks were directly approaching Chang'an, he also believed that it was possible.

In ancient times, the reason why it was necessary to attack cities, pull out the cities one by one, and then start to advance, is because in battle, food and grass are absolutely important issues.

That is, the question of eating.

An army has no food, no matter how much it is invited in combat combat, even if it is a fight of ten, it will not be able to exert any combat effectiveness if it is starved and half dead.

It's even possible that you've already run away before you start fighting again.

If you march forward and do not occupy and pull out the enemy city behind you, then the problem of food, grass and supplies will be very serious.

It's like a time bomb crossed behind you, and the grain road behind you can't be safe at all.

Not to mention cutting off your food, grass and supplies, or even cutting off your retreat.

When you suddenly attack back and forth, then you will be attacked in the abdomen and back.

This multi-faceted situation of the enemy is also an extremely fatal situation in which the army fights on the march.

The only way to avoid these many problems is to encounter a city occupied by the enemy, so you must take it before you can continue to march.

Otherwise, that opportunity is tantamount to cutting yourself off.

With a very small number of people, holding on to a certain dangerous pass, they can block the enemy army dozens of times and 100 times more and cannot continue to advance.

But now the Vulren Khan, who led a Turkic army of 100,000 to Chang'an, was a different story.

First, as nomadic people, their way of fighting is different from that of traditional agricultural civilizations.

Not to mention their warriors, but even their women and children, who can get up and ride and shoot well, have grown up on horseback since childhood.

Their horses are also plentiful.

In order to ensure the speed of the march, they can even equip one person with two horses, alternately on the road, and are also fully capable of handling.

If they really did it covertly enough, if they did it fast enough, and even the scouts who gave orders from the front line hadn't sent the news back to Chang'an, they might have felt that Chang'an, like a divine soldier descending from heaven, caught them off guard.

In addition, as pure cavalry, they can choose to bypass but not attack, directly bypass those cities that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and choose to attack Chang'an, the capital of Dahua.

After the rapid occupation, a few granaries that were enough to support the millions of people in Chang'an City were enough to supply them, so they might make such a risky move.

And no matter what, such a risky battle is a great risk, if there is no absolute certainty, Emperor Hua Wen also thinks that it is impossible for Balren Khan to act rashly, he must have obtained some information, knowing that Chang'an is in chaos, so he will act so decisively.

Just like the previous dynasty, also in Chang'an City, the throne was contested, Chang'an was in chaos, and the final victor had just sat on the throne not long ago.

Now this bald Khan, I am afraid that he has also inherited the bloodline inherited from the family, and it is also after the chaos in Chang'an, the old trick is repeated.

I'm afraid that the previous actions of the True Martial Arts Association have already included informing the Turks and asking them to come over to clean up the mess and help "create a troubled world".

It's just that the blind old man didn't expect that their plan was not fully implemented and was stopped by them.

I'm afraid that the Vulren Khan, who is now preparing to arrive, and those Turkic cavalry, still think that the current Chang'an City is just a situation where the blind old man wants to be in a mess and follow them in and out of the looting situation as they promised.

But the reality is that way, but it's not much better.

After that battle, the originally small defenders of Chang'an City had been reduced by nearly half, and there were less than 10,000 at all.

To face the 100,000 Turkic cavalry without siege equipment, if you stick to Chang'an City, you still have the opportunity to wait for the main force guarding the border to arrive.

But the current Chang'an City, after that big war, is not much bigger, especially the big spider before, which destroyed a lot of buildings and streets, and even the previous strong city wall has been smashed and collapsed, and it has not yet been repaired.

As for the Turkic army, which will arrive in the next one or two days? I'm afraid it won't be able to catch up.

If you really have to wait until then, the originally strong Chang'an City can only be a bucket with a gap.

But now they still have time to prepare, a two-day one, if not much, then something can be done.

After all, just let those Turkic barbarians come in and do whatever they want, they will not sit still, even if they can't avoid the tragedy, they must let them bleed a little and know the pain.

But that's easier said than done.

The Turkic cavalry of 100,000 is not easy to deal with.

Although Chang'an now has a population of millions, those are ordinary people who have not received military training.

To make them face these Turkic cavalry who can ride and shoot well, they are just sent to death as cannon fodder.

Moreover, the most terrifying thing on the battlefield is not the fierce enemy, but the timid teammates, which is what an army is most afraid of.

What if there are too many people, they will still be killed by the professional army and flee with their armor lost, and the wars in history where fewer win more are probably the same, thousands of them are better than tens of thousands, or even 100,000 rabble, it is completely possible, and it is extremely likely.

However, this countermeasure is not easy to say, the ministers gathered, and indeed there was one person who could put forward anything, and they were all silent.

Only Liu Suifeng took a step forward alone, and seemed to have some idea.
