Huang Louping's answer was: "Eighteen thousand." ”

Hu Sanguang reported: "18,000 to 20,000 people." ”

But the number Liu Shijun observed: "20,000 people." ”

After getting three different answers from the three generals, Ye Chen chose the figures reported by Liu Shijun, who had the most experience in leading the battle.

"20,000 party cavalry" he snorted coldly from his nose, "Yufeng got these 20,000 party cavalry here in order to kill me, I don't know how much it cost"

Liu Shijun was speculating about what Ye Chen said about Yufeng and the Holy Hall mentioned before, and Huang Louping next to him asked Liu Shijun: "The beacon fire has already been lit?"

Liu Shijun nodded and said, "It was already ordered as soon as the party members appeared." Messengers in the direction of Huangjiapu and Gyeongju have also been dispatched. ”

Ye Chen shook his head and said: "It's useless to light the beacon fire, in the direction of Huangjiabao Qingzhou, there is no military village in the middle, only two beacon towers, and there are only dozens of people stationed on it, if I am not mistaken, they have already encountered an accident." Therefore, the key now is whether the messenger sent by General Liu and the ten gold medal spies of our Huaxia Guard Mansion can pass through the enemy's blockade and reach Gyeongju. ”

When these party members suddenly appeared in front of him, Ye Chen knew that this was a killing situation arranged for him by the Holy Church and the seven party departments, and there might even be other forces that arranged for him. With Yu Feng suffering big losses at his hands a few times before and failing to assassinate him several times, I think this time the enemy's plan is extremely cautious. Although he was lucky not to be surrounded by the enemy outside the city, Ye Chen also believed that the Holy Hall should still have a backup hand.

However, although Ye Chen knew the seriousness of the matter, he still had some confidence. The 2,500 defenders of Shilipu were all elite soldiers in a hundred battles, and the 2,000 troops from the northwest frontier who came with him to protect him were the elite selected by the three commanders. In addition, there were four hundred black horsemen led by Black Moon who followed him and more than one hundred elites composed of Huaxia Weifu killers, spies, and Huaxia Wei.

Of course, if these people are outside the city and more than 20,000 party cavalry in a field battle, they will definitely lose, but if they are used to defend the city, there is still a fight, even if Shili Fort is just a military fortress, the city wall is not high, and it is far from being as strong as Gyeongju, but the party cavalry is actually not good at attacking the city.

And for them who defend the city, nearly 10,000 people in the city can also help, and even go into battle to defend the city and kill the enemy, you must know that the people in the northwest are not comparable to the people in the south of the Yangtze River and even in the interior of the Great Song Dynasty.

For countless years, whether it is the current Khitan or the party, or the Tibetans, as long as they are aliens who have been at war with the Han court, they all understand a truth: the Han army array that has laid down the arrow array cannot rush, and the Han people guarding the city cannot provoke. When the Han people have a city to rely on, their combat effectiveness is often rolling up, especially now the northwest border army of the Great Song Dynasty, which is best at relying on the city and fighting. Otherwise, since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, in the past ten years, a large number of military villages have been built in this barren land, and so many military villages have been established, all in order to deal with foreign cavalry.

Huang Louping next to him was worried, and frowned: "The party people don't dare to fight a protracted war, and if they can't break the city within a day or two, they should collect their troops and retreat north." ”

Ye Chen said: "Under normal circumstances, this is naturally the case. With the siege methods of the party people, Shilibao was not so easy to fight. It's just that I'm afraid that the Holy Hall Yufeng will have other means against the Northwest Daying, the Zhejia and the Yang family in Gyeongju, Fuzhou, and Linzhou, dragging the border army and the two feudal towns and can't send troops to support."

As Ye Chen was talking, a sharp arrow jumped up from under the city and went straight to Ye Chen's door. Huang Louping next to him was quick-eyed, with one hand, he copied the long arrow in his hand, and his palm was hot.

Liu Shijun next to him was so frightened that he was in a cold sweat, and in a fit of rage, he immediately snatched a bow from the waist of the guard beside him, and was about to shoot back with an arrow. But at the head of the city, a cavalryman was holding a big bow, and he was running farther and farther away amid the cheers of the party members, and the arrow just now turned out to be galloping

"Good archery skills" Ye Chen waved his hand to make Lian Jicheng and the others retreat with a nervous face, and looked down indifferently. The corners of his mouth showed a cold and piercing smile that made Liu Shijun tremble: "It seems that Tuoba is really a little anxious, no matter what means and backhand Yufeng has, but the party people should not have much time, the party people are trying to provoke me to fight" He turned back and smiled even colder: "The situation in the northwest is complicated, I originally just wanted to go back to Kaifeng to see it, but now it seems that I still have to do some big things when I come to the northwest this time, and I can go back with peace of mind by killing some people." ”

As soon as Ye Chen's words came out, Lian Jicheng, Hu Sanguang and Huang Lou Ping Huaxia Weifu had already murderous expressions in their expressions, and Liu Shijun then remembered what a powerful character this young Lord Qincha was in front of him, and he could already think that after this incident, this young county king would definitely take fierce revenge on the Seventh Department of the Party. As for whether Ye Chen would be killed by these party members outside the city, Liu Shijun didn't think that the enemy could do it. It's not that he has confidence in the victory of the defenders in the city, but that no matter who thinks about Ye Chen's past deeds, it is enough to make people feel shocked by him, and he has the feeling that Ye Chen will definitely not be killed so easily.

Ye Chen suddenly remembered something, turned to Lian Jicheng and said, "You take fifty of our people to the city gate to prevent the enemy from sneaking into the city and breaking the city from the city." ”

Lian Jicheng respectfully said yes and led people down quickly.

Liu Shijun was a little disapproving, he had a command of a force of five hundred people at the city gate, even if there were really masters sneaking in, even the number of one or two hundred, could it really be impossible to break the city from the inside.

But this was Ye Chen's order, so he naturally didn't dare to show the slightest on his face, and hurriedly arranged for a commander next to him to personally lead the way to Lian Jicheng to the city gate.

This time, the seven departments of the party sent a total of about 28,000 troops, of which Tuoba Zhenli alone brought 10,000 people. Among them, 5,000 of them captured the two military villages of Balipo and Shipingzhai in the rear, and were responsible for dealing with the remaining soldiers who escaped from the two military villages, and more than 2,000 people, with the help of the Holy Church, bypassed Shilibao and wandered to the vicinity of Huangjiabao, and at this time they were playing guerrilla warfare tricks with the 10,000-strong army of the Zhejia family in Fuzhou and the Yang family in Linzhou, and at the same time were responsible for blocking all the routes from Heshilibao to Huangjiapu and Gyeongju and robbing and killing messengers.

Therefore, the current military strength of Waiguo Shili Fort is about 21,000 people, and all of them are cavalry.
