Chapter 150: Ebb Tide
However, when Wang Lai saw him, he smiled in surprise and said, "Tang Qianchang is okay, right?" ”
"I'm fine. By the way, what about surpassing them? Tang Ye looked around and asked.
"Beyond and Miss Nian'er, I'll let them take the carriage back to Eight Finger City this morning! I had expected that this battle would be very difficult to fight, they would stay in the city, and once the city was broken, it would be difficult to retreat in time. The king replied.
Hearing this, Tang Ye nodded with satisfaction, feeling that Wang Lai's approach was very wise.
"What about Liang Bai, Mu Yun and Zhuge Gu for them? It should be fine, right? Tang Ye asked with some concern.
"It's all right, my lord......" Wang Lai glanced around, and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, my lord, everything is going according to our plan, I naturally won't let my brothers take risks, they are all waiting behind the city gate." ”
Tang Ye smiled when he heard this, nodded and said, "General Wang handled it very well. ”
Wang Lai smiled bitterly and said, "But the current situation is very bad, Fanyang City is already in danger." Of the original 60,000 defenders, there are less than 10,000 left at the moment, and there are still 20,000 or 30,000 wounded soldiers being treated in the rear. It is estimated that no more than forty percent can return to the battlefield. ”
Tang Ye looked at the soldiers around him who were still struggling to shoot arrows or lifting stones and smashing them downward, and said silently:
"It's not easy to hold on until now! We have sacrificed 20,000 or 30,000 men, and the enemy must have sacrificed about 40,000 to 60,000 men. It's a pity that the enemy's strength is much higher than ours this time, otherwise it would have been much easier for you to defend the city. ”
Wang Lai looked at the front for a while, and sighed softly:
"This time the enemy is menacing, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for us to be lazy, and if we don't work hard, we may not be able to survive...... If it weren't for you and the Huwei army, it is estimated that in another hour, the city would be broken! And we may not be able to escape in the chaos. Once captured, the consequences are unimaginable! ”
Tang Ye nodded approvingly. After all, he has played all the series of the "Three Kingdoms" game, and he knows very well that if he breaks through a city, there is a considerable chance of capturing the generals in the city.
Although there may not be many prisoners, if you are unlucky, even the monarch may be captured, let alone other generals.
"But even if the Tiger Army comes, it may not last long. Maybe only by waiting for the reinforcements from Eight Finger City to arrive, can we really get through the current difficulties! Wang Lai said a little unconfidently.
Seeing this, Tang Ye shook his head with a smile:
"Sword Xing, don't underestimate these five thousand tiger mighty troops. That's the equivalent of 50,000 troops! In this way, the number of troops defending the city will be 60,000, not to mention repelling the enemy, at least it should be no problem to wait for reinforcements to arrive...... Huh, the enemy seems to have retreated? ”
While speaking, Tang Ye leaned over to the city wall and looked down, and sure enough, he saw that under the city wall more than ten meters high, the enemy was like a low tide and left towards the large camp not far away.
Obviously, the damage inflicted on the enemy's base camp by the Huwei Army just now dealt them a serious blow. It takes them a fair amount of time to regroup.
After all, only when the rear is safe, can they attack the city with peace of mind.
It's a pity that the enemy's grain depot was not found just now, and if the grain depot is found and burned down, these 200,000 troops are afraid that they will be defeated!
Of course, under normal circumstances, it is very difficult to attack the enemy's base camp and deal damage to it.
