Chapter 370: Siege?

The 50,000 forbidden troops hoarded outside Jinju City were under great pressure on Xue Zhiqin and Wang Chongying, who had a combined force of 20,000 troops.

The endless military tent and the mighty and majestic iron cavalry, Xue Zhiqin finally realized why Li Chengsi couldn't beat it, and it was strange that he could beat it like this.

And on the second day after the 50,000 forbidden troops were assembled, Li Ye secretly came to Xiangling County with the main force of the Shenji Battalion and the cavalry of the Left Prison Guard, who was responsible for protecting his safety.

Originally, Liu Kui, Zhao Xiong, and the generals under the command of the two armies were fighting over whether to attack Jinzhou City or attack the Shatuo army camp outside the city.

Those who think that they attack Jinju City think that they have siege weapons in their hands and that it is easier to attack the city; Those who think that the attack on the camp of the Shatuo army are the key to this battle, and if the camp of the Shatuo army is broken, the city of Jinju will also be broken without attacking.

However, as soon as Li Ye came, he made a decision to attack the camp of the Shatuo army.

Because when he came, the scouts who reconnoitred nearby brought back the latest news, and it was suspected that reinforcements had appeared in the camp of the Shatuo army, which should have been reinforced from the rear, and it was still an infantry army, with an estimated number of four or five thousand people.

Compared with Jinju City, which was defended by less than 10,000 people, the Shatuo army camp with a strength of about 20,000 was the biggest threat.

If you want to fight, you must fight the strongest.

For Wang Chongying, Li Ye has never taken it to heart, thinking that he is just a lost dog, cowering in the land of Jinzhou, can he turn the sky upside down?

The real enemy is still the Shatuo Army.

Moreover, the cavalry in Wang Chongying's hands has been asked by Xue Zhiqin, which means that even if the forbidden army attacks the camp of the Shatuo army, Li Ye only needs to put a few thousand cavalry in the direction of Jinzhou City, and Wang Chongying can only watch, and he has no chance to intervene.

。。。。。。

Jinju City.

The sky was just slightly bright, and on the city wall that was not too high, Wang Chongying, who couldn't sleep and woke up very early, was holding a sword and was checking the city defense on the city tower, by the way to calm the emotions of the soldiers.

In Jinju in October, the weather has begun to turn cold, the north wind is howling, and some outlines can still be seen in the distance of Xiangling County.

Although the terrain near Jinju is flat, you can't see the wall of Xiangneung County from the wall of Jinju Fortress.

On the plain where the cold wind is howling, it seems to be quiet, but it is full of a trace of weirdness, and it is this weirdness that makes Wang Chongying feel a little uneasy.

A few days ago, the eldest son was defeated in Mengkeng, and Wang Chongying, in order to appease the anger of the Shatuo army, could only hand over 2,000 cavalry to the Shatuo army.

Although reinforcements came from the Shatuo army yesterday, the uneasiness in Wang Chongying's heart has not been eliminated. He considered the proposal of his eldest son and surrendered to the court, but he was afraid that the court would not accept him, especially the young majesty, would tolerate him, who had been against the court, to submit to the court again?

And the reason for the hesitation, in addition to this, may be that he has blind confidence in Sha Tuojun.

Just like his brother Wang Chongrong, since he saw the strength of the Shatuo army, Hezhong has been attached to Hedong. If there is any military action in Hedong, Hezhong will definitely not be absent, and it will be a natural ally.

But in the past two years, the imperial court has also changed a lot, and Hezhong, which was originally their royal family's own land, was lured into the house by the nephew who had no brains.

As a result, most of the river fell into the hands of the imperial court, thinking of this, Wang Chongying was not only angry and scolding, but also unwilling!

Therefore, in his heart, he hoped that the Shatuo people would defeat the imperial army so that he could recapture the river.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave the tower, he suddenly felt the tower under his feet suddenly tremble.

He thought it was his own delusion, but it wasn't just him, the soldiers on the tower felt the walls shaking, and the tremors were getting stronger and stronger.

Wang Chongying was puzzled, suddenly thought of something, and suddenly ran quickly to the battlements, holding the wall tiles of the battlements and looking out of the city, and then the whole person was nervous!

I saw that in the distant sky, black lines of different lengths suddenly appeared in sight.

Then, after these black lines approached, they began to become thick, and when they got closer, they saw a large red and yellow banner in sight, and behind these banners were dense cavalry, magnificent and overwhelming.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

"The imperial army is coming!"

For a while, the entire city of Jinju resounded with the dull sound of trumpets and shouts, as well as the sound of hurried footsteps.

Wang Qiang, who was under house arrest in the mansion, couldn't help but be a little puzzled when he heard the voice outside, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Did the Forbidden Army attack the city? ”

"Returning to the eldest prince, the cavalry of the imperial court did not attack the city, but lined up three hundred steps outside the city, I don't know what to do?" The junior officer who was being questioned next to him hurriedly replied.

"What? Are you saying that the army outside the city is cavalry? Wang Qian noticed that something was wrong.

"Yes, it's all cavalry!"

"It's not good, the forbidden army must be attacking the camp of the Shatuo army, this cavalry is here to contain us!"

Since the army outside the city is cavalry, it is definitely impossible for it to come to attack the city, who has ever seen the cavalry attack the city?

But it's not a siege, what are these cavalry doing here?

Thinking of the kind of weapons and heavy cavalry he had seen before, Wang Qian had reason to believe that the imperial army had begun to attack the camp of the Shatuo army.

With the presence of this cavalry outside the city, the army in Jinju City could only watch the imperial army attack the camp of the Shatuo army, and could not go to reinforcements.

Because there was no cavalry in Jinju City, it was undoubtedly self-defeating to go out of the city with infantry and face the elite forbidden cavalry.

As Wang Qian guessed, at this time, the 30,000 forbidden army infantry outside the Shatuo army camp were already in full formation, and in front of the formation, there were dozens of strange-shaped guys.

It is sixty-four divine machine cannons and eight divine general cannons.

In the camp, the war drums sounded in unison, and the sound of trumpets resounded throughout the camp, and the well-trained Shatuo infantry cavalry immediately began to assemble after hearing the sound of war drums, and according to Xue Zhiqin's orders, they were in their positions and ready for battle.

The reinforcements that arrived yesterday were not actually a few thousand infantry, but a thousand cavalry and four thousand infantry. This gave Xue Zhiqin 7,000 cavalry and 11,000 infantry in his hands, although these 7,000 cavalry were pieced together, but they were cavalry after all.

With this eighteen thousand paces of cavalry, Xue Zhiqin also began to have a trace of confidence, but he didn't expect the imperial court to attack so quickly.

Seeing the dozens of 'trebuchets' of different sizes outside the camp, Xue Zhiqin's expression was a little solemn.

But he didn't plan to just stick to the big camp, that would be too passive.

In his opinion, as long as the main force of the imperial army was contained with the large camp as bait, and then attacked from the flank with 7,000 cavalry, it could not turn the tide of the battle.

Xue Zhiqin, who was located on the high platform of the big camp, looked at the army outside the big camp, took a deep breath, and said loudly to the soldiers around him, "The soldiers of Hedong. The court is brutal and unkind, framing the king of the county on trumped-up charges, and now the enemy is present, we can only fight back.

Take out the spirit of my Hedong son, for the sake of the county king, for the sake of Hedong, and for our homeland not to suffer from the flames of war, we must defeat the enemy army in front of us.

Long live Hedong! Shatuo is invincible! ”

"Long live Hedong!"

"Long live Hedong!"

"Shatuo is invincible!"
