Chapter 854: The Enemy Arrives at Night at the Head of the City

Half an hour later, the east city, the city wall of the urn city.

Liu Yu was dressed in iron armor, with a hundred refining iron knives on his back, holding a big bow, leaning on the head of the urn city, staring at a city wall on the inside of the city gate, while Murong Lan was wearing black nocturnal soft armor, with double knives inserted on the outside of her two calves, covering her beautiful face, only a pair of star-like black eyes, shining in the dim candle fire at the head of the city.

There were a few bangs in the city: "Three watches, three moments, the white captives besiege the city, be careful of the candles!" ”

And the cries in the city are endless, "Brother, you go all the way." ”

"Third brother, go on the road with peace of mind, we will avenge you!"

Sounds like this, combined with the smell of burning paper money, permeated the whole city, which was specially arranged by Liu Yu, in order to convince the Xiyan army outside the city that Chang'an City was still immersed in grief and could not extricate themselves for a while, and made them more determined to attack at night.

Murong Lan's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she said in a low voice: "It's half of the three, and there is still no enemy night attack, Liu Yu, did you make a mistake in judgment this time?" ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Even if you make a mistake, it's nothing, at this time, be careful to make the Ten Thousand Year Ship, the siege battle is extremely unfair, the attacker can fail ninety-nine times, as long as it succeeds once, the city will be broken." And even if the defenders have repelled the enemy army ninety-nine times, as long as they lose once, it will be wasted, even if there is no night attack, they can discover the secret passage of the enemy army in the city, and by checking the secret passage of the enemy army, organize the people in the city, and everyone has something to do, which is also a good thing. ”

Murong Lan sighed softly: "Liu Yu, if you accompanied Yang Ding to attack today, it wouldn't be like this." Perhaps, the Western Yan Army will have defeated you a long time ago. ”

Liu Yu shook his head, and said: "Impossible, the defeat of this battle has long been doomed, it is the same whether I go or not, Yang Ding is too arrogant, he will not listen to me, today he saw Li Wei succeed in robbing the camp first, so he was moved, if the boss loses his mind, then no one can save him." ”

Murong Lan hooked the corners of her mouth: "So, this result is something you expected a long time ago?" But why put yourself in such a dangerous situation when you know you will lose? It doesn't look like you're doing it. ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "I'm not a god, even that Wang Immortal can't predict the outcome of the battle, I only know that Yang will lose, but I don't know that he will lose everything in one battle." I thought that it would be defeated but not defeated, and I could still leave some strength to fight back, but now I don't even have the capital to fight in the field. However, it is not the time of despair, as long as Chang'an City can be defended, after ten days and half a month, things will take a turn for the better. ”

Murong Lan's heart moved: "Is there a turnaround?" How could it be. Chang'an City is now cut off from foreign aid, and no one will come to save them. I think you should think about how to bring the jade seal back to the Jin Kingdom, and it is better to come here than to defend the city here in vain. ”

Liu Yu shook his head: "There are many internal contradictions in the Western Yan Army, when their strength does not overpower the Qin Army, they can unite against the enemy, but now that victory is in sight, Murong Yong will not be under Murong Chong." When I was killing prisoners of war outside the city today, I saw very clearly that Murong never had such intentions, but he couldn't stop the crazy Murong Chong. As soon as your eldest brother's canonization arrives, he will probably do it. ”

Murong Lan nodded: "I have already passed the book to the eldest brother, he will definitely do it according to this meaning, anyway, it is just a false title for a prince, even Zhai Bin gave it at the beginning, and it is nothing to give it to Murong Yong." It's just that the canonization order can't be from the flying eagle, and a formal envoy has to be sent to announce the edict, which will take about ten days and half a month. Is this the turning point you are talking about? ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "This is just the first variable. The second variable is Yao Chang in Lingbei. ”

Murong Lan was slightly stunned: "Yao Chang? Didn't he sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight? What variables can be? It was impossible for him to come to the rescue of Fu Jian at this time. ”

Liu Yu shook his head: "Of course he is a cunning cheetah, but he will not wait until Guanzhong gives Murong Chong a scourge to cut off the population and become a dead land." What he wants is a Guanzhong with a large population and abundant products as the foundation for his own country, so I don't think he wants Murong Chong to wash Chang'an with blood. I will definitely do something to force the Xiyan Army to leave here as soon as possible, preferably now. ”

Murong Lan smiled: "Does he have this ability?" The combat effectiveness of the Qiang army is not flattering, when it encounters the Western Yan army, don't die too quickly, after all, the Yan army now has the equipment of the Qin army's iron cavalry, and can make twenty or thirty thousand armor and cavalry equipment, and there is a famous general like Murong Yong in charge, Yao Chang is no matter how cunning he is, he is not an opponent. ”

Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "It is not necessary to drive away the Xiyan army on the battlefield. The last time I invited Wang Jia, I found that the food pressure faced by Xiyan was not much smaller than that of Chang'an. They also have hundreds of thousands of subordinates, and the food consumed every day is also a huge amount, these Xianbei people can now rely on eating the cattle and sheep of the tribe to maintain, but they have been consumed outside Chang'an City, there is no place to graze, and they do not grow crops, and the cattle and sheep always have a time to eat. ”

Murong Lan nodded thoughtfully: "That is to say, Yao Chang can force them to leave early with the grain passage of the Xiyan Army?" ”

Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, this is Yao Chang's cleverness, compared with Fu Jian and Murong Chong, this Lao Qiang is a really powerful character, he does not fight for a short time on the battlefield, as soon as he makes a move, he will check the harvest of various producing states and counties in Guanzhong this year, as well as the inventory of the first two years, and then retreat to Lingbei, wait and see the current situation, this is a troubled time, whether it is benevolence or cruelty, it is not as attractive as having a full stomach, I think the battle situation in this Guanzhong continues like this, whether it is Fu Jian's people, or Xiyan's subordinates, I'm afraid that they will all throw themselves at Yao Chang. ”

Murong Lan said with a smile: "This traitorous male in the shadows seems to be the one who can have the last laugh, so do you want to establish some kind of relationship with Yao Chang and let him help you attack the grain route of the Xiyan Army?" ”

Liu Yu shook his head: "Yao Chang is not a good person, what I hope most is that the officials and troops of the Great Jin Dynasty can send troops to Guanzhong as soon as possible to rescue millions of lives here." However, with Yao Chang here, I think there will be problems with the food of the Xiyan army, as long as Chang'an is resolutely held, there is a way. ”

Murong Lan nodded: "It turns out that the variables you are talking about are these. It's ridiculous to think about it, I, a princess of the Murong family, am here to help you defend the city for Fu, if it was a year ago, I wouldn't have dreamed of it. ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Okay, I know you're sleepy, go have a good dream, I'm here to ............"

Before his words fell, his face suddenly changed, and vaguely, the city wall that he had been watching turned lightly, Liu Yu lowered his voice and raised his fist, so that all the ambush soldiers on this city wall could see clearly: The enemy army is coming!
