Chapter 361 Evacuation Methods

The three major city gates, in addition to leaving 10,000 infantry to block the city gates, a total of 120,000 Allied soldiers entered the city at the same time in three ways, the east gate went all the way to the palace, the west gate went straight to the city guard camp, and the north gate went straight to the Praetorian Guard camp in the south city.

The three-way army shouted loudly all the way and advanced quickly all the way. Before the siege, there were nearly 90,000 defenders in the city, and at this time, the Allied troops passed along the way, but they only met some defenders on patrol, and they did not encounter many defenders at all.

Also, the 90,000 defenders had just experienced the all-army feint attack of the Allied army for more than two hours during the day, and after dark, they were plagued by the civil strife of Sima Dejiao and others for most of the night, not to mention the more than 20,000 casualties caused by this, and the surviving soldiers were all mentally stressed and exhausted.

At this time, they had just fallen asleep, although they were awakened by three loud noises in a row, but they were all dazed, and they were even more frightened by the loud noise, thinking that it was thunder on a dry day, or a landslide somewhere, and they didn't expect that it was the Allied army attacking the city, and they didn't expect that the Allied army would break through the city gate so quickly, and the army would enter the city.

Yu Wenji, who was staying in the camp of the Praetorian Guard all night, was already awakened by the first loud noise, and the next two loud noises completely woke him up.

Although he didn't understand why the loud noise happened, he still jumped up all of a sudden. He didn't care about putting on his clothes and armor anymore, he ran out of the big tent barefoot, grabbed a soldier on duty and shouted, "What happened, where did the loud noise come from?" ”

"Lord Qiqi, the villain doesn't know what happened, the first loud bang came from the east!" The soldiers on duty were so frightened that their teeth trembled, and their faces were already pale.

Yu Wenhua was immediately furious, and kicked him to the side, "Useless thing! ”

At this time, Li Qing, the general on duty at night, ran over, "Lord Qiqi, three loud noises came from the direction of the east gate, the west gate and the north gate respectively, when the loud noise was made, there were strong lights flashing at the three city gates, and it is estimated that the loud noise was made at the city gate, but it is not clear what happened for the time being." ”

"Immediately go to the three major gates to investigate, and this king will know the details within two quarters of an hour!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

As soon as Yu Wenhua's words fell, there were bursts of high-morale shouts from the direction of Dongcheng, shouting and killing, followed by the sound of ten thousand horses galloping and ten thousand hooves stepping on the ground, "Gotcha!" Get! Get! The sound of horses' hooves tore through the night sky and reverberated over the city.

The city is broken, and the Confederates have entered the city!

This is the possibility that Yu Wenhua thought of for the first time, although he couldn't understand why the three loud noises were made and what they did, but he understood that they must be the ghosts of the Allied Army, otherwise it would not be so coincidental, as soon as the loud noise passed, the Allied Army would immediately attack the city.

Moreover, the sudden entry of the Allied army into the city at this time shows that they have made all kinds of preparations and are sure of victory.

At this time, the soldiers under his command were only about half of the allied army, and they had just experienced a great chaos, the army's morale was unstable, and they had not even recovered their physical strength, so it was absolutely impossible for them to be their opponents.

As soon as he thought of this, Yu Wenhua's face changed greatly, and he didn't have time to think about it anymore, so he immediately said sharply: "Li Qing, immediately beat the drums and gather the troops, and notify all the soldiers in the battalion to assemble at the school field within half an hour."

"Yes!"

The war drums of the gathered troops soon sounded, the generals shouted loudly, the soldiers ran back and forth, and the barracks in the night suddenly became even more chaotic.

Half a quarter of an hour later, tens of thousands of soldiers appeared on the school ground, and at this time they were in a messy queue, their armor was untidy, and they were snorting and panting.

At the front of the queue were five thousand cavalrymen, who were also unarmoured and panting.

In fact, there were originally 10,000 cavalry in the barracks, but unfortunately the civil strife of Sima Dejiao and others a few hours ago lost a lot of war horses, and the preparation time for the assembly was too short, and some soldiers had not yet arrived.

Before the queue, Yu Wenhua had already appeared, and at this time, he was riding a majestic war horse, wearing a set of red battle armor, but the expression on his face was very gloomy and cold.

Li Qing, who was riding a horse and following him, suddenly whispered: "The last general is brave, may I ask the prince if he plans to lead the army to evacuate from the south gate immediately?"

Yu Wenhua frowned suddenly, a little displeased, turned around and glanced at him coldly, but still nodded, "If you have something to say, just say it!" ”

Li Qing urged him to take a step forward and said in a low voice: "The last general thinks that the enemy army is prepared, and it will be difficult for us to evacuate from the city like this!"

Yu Wenhua's face suddenly sank, cold as frost, and two murderous eyes looked at him coldly, Li Qing couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly analyzed:

"In this attack, the Allied army claims to be 300,000 troops, and with their strength, it is entirely possible to block all four gates.

However, they only blocked three sides and lacked the south gate, which is obviously a lack of three and one of them.

The Allies are worried that we will fight to the end, so they have left us a way out, but the last general is sure that they must have set up multiple ambushes outside the south gate, waiting for us to surrender to the tiger!

Moreover, the rivers outside the south gate are staggered, and there are many rivers, which is not conducive to the evacuation of the army by land, and as for the waterway, we do not have many warships, and the combat power of the naval army is not as sharp as theirs.

The last general was sure that their naval warships were already cruising on the surface of the Yangtze River. ”

After the analysis, Li Qing stopped talking and stayed quietly aside.

Yu Wenhua was silent, did not speak, but the expression on his face kept changing, and he said after a while: "Do you have a way?"

Li Qingyin smiled and said: "The prince can personally escort the queen mother out of the city, Su Shang calls himself Sui Chen, and he is Yang Guang's son-in-law, I think they should attach great importance to the queen mother, and when necessary, the queen mother can protect us to evacuate safely!"

Yu Wenhua and Mo Ran, he understood the meaning of Li Qing's words very well, that is, to kidnap the Queen Mother to escort himself and others to evacuate, and threaten the allies with the Queen Mother's life if necessary, but he was very much in favor.

At this time, in his heart, it was a hundred thoughts turning, and he was quickly thinking about who to send to the palace to welcome the Queen Mother.

However, at this time, there was a lack of generals around him, his brother Yu Wenzhi and in the city guard camp, leading 30,000 city guards with Chen Ling, and the other generals either couldn't believe it, or they hadn't arrived yet, and at this time there was only Li Qing on his side.

However, Li Qing had just joined the Praetorian Guard, and his qualifications and official positions were not enough, and he was not enough to lead the army alone, especially at this time.

For a moment, he hesitated.
