Chapter 975: Black clouds crush the city and want to destroy it
"Our retreat is estimated to have been copied!"
Siye looked at the gloomy sky and sighed.
"Impossible, where are the enemy troops from the north?" Guo Xiaoke still thinks that Heiye is too nervous, even if several enemy troops are coming, but they should still be far away, they still have enough time to calmly retreat with rich booty.
It's just that the heir believes in his hunch.
"Hurry up and withdraw the men and horses into the Dafeiling camp first."
Several light horsemen galloped to the north again, and this time, Guo Xiaoke, who did not believe in evil, personally led the team, and he must prove that the worry of the heir was superfluous.
In the camp of Dafeiling.
During the period when Siye attacked Wuhai, the camp welcomed the arrival of several heavy teams, and tens of thousands of people from Xiping, Lintao and other counties arrived with a large number of grain, grass and ordnance.
At the same time, there were nearly 10,000 county soldiers and Zhuqiang tribesmen recruited from nearby counties.
"Now there are more than 50,000 people in the village, including more than 10,000 government soldiers who stayed behind to rest, 10,000 Qiang soldiers, 10,000 county soldiers, and about 20,000 people who are still in the camp."
Cheng Mingzhen told Siye that during this time, he sent people to strengthen and expand the camp, built several small forts, and also built a lot of heavy equipment such as catapults, which were all prepared to deal with the 10,000 Tibetans in the south.
It's just that those Tibetans didn't come to attack once, but a few small cavalry teams came a few times, and he also sent people to surround and kill some of them, and escaped back some, and never appeared nearby again.
"How much grain and grass are there?"
"That's enough for 100,000 people for three months."
"What about the equipment?"
"It's enough to fight a few tough battles."
Cheng Mingzhen is still relatively optimistic about the current situation, seeing that Heiye has returned, he also said that the DPRK and China have come to order them several times to return to the north.
"Now that the marshal has returned victorious, we can withdraw."
But Heiye shook his head.
"If you want to retreat easily, I'm afraid it's not easy, this is to go to Qinghai Fuqi City, there are still 800 miles of road, the road is difficult to travel along the way, and we still have so many people and county soldiers here."
At this time, Heiye had already regretted that he should not insist on going his own way and insisting on attacking Wuhai.
Guo Xiaoke came back on the third day after leaving, a little embarrassed. The few light horses that were brought out were only half returned.
As soon as he saw the face of the heir, he said a little discouraged, "This is troublesome, the alliance between Murong Ke and the Western Turks actually ran to our north without knowing it, and now they are blocking our way to retreat." Damn, didn't the intelligence keep saying that they were still in the west, why did they suddenly run ahead of us? ”
"The military situation is already false, and it is obvious that the other side put some smoke and then played us." Siye asked Guo Xiaoke, "How many Western Turkic troops and Tuyuhun rebels have you found?" ”
"About a hundred miles away from here, there are about thirty or fifty thousand people, damn it, it's too unexpected."
Cheng Mingzhen and Xue Wanjun couldn't help frowning, now there are enemies on three sides, only there is no enemy in the east, but the east is the Yellow River, and the east of the Yellow River is the West Slope Mountain and Lianyun Mountain, the road is more difficult to walk, especially with a large army and baggage.
"Why don't we kill the enemy before they are encircled? Even if there are 350,000 Western Turkic and Tuyuhun rebels, they will never be able to stop us. Guo Xiaoke proposed.
But Heiye shook his head and refused.
If the battlefield is anywhere in the Central Plains, even if there are only half of these soldiers under his command, as long as they are all soldiers of the Qin army, he has the confidence to kill them.
But among the 90,000 people, the Qin army soldiers only accounted for more than 20,000, and the rest were the Tuyuhun army, the county soldiers, the people, and the Qiang soldiers, not to mention the harsh climate and unfamiliar terrain here, all of which were invisible ropes.
On the contrary, the enemy is more accustomed to the terrain and climate, and if he is not careful, he may be defeated here.
Siye asked Cheng Mingzhen again to confirm the amount of grain, grass and ordnance in the camp, and after confirming that it was sufficient, he narrowed his eyes.
"If we don't leave, we will guard here, wait for work at ease, and wait for attack with defense."
At present, there are more than 90,000 men and horses in the camp, more than 30,000 prisoners, and more than 100,000 cattle, sheep, horses, and other livestock.
In that case, then defend, why risk retreating.
The camp of Dafeiling, although it is not a dangerous and fortified city, also occupies a favorable terrain.
Luo Siye is the head of the marching army and the commander of the whole army, even if the Tuyuhun army is not under his control, Murong Shun has to listen to his advice. He said that now that the enemy is surrounded on three sides, and the strength is even above them, it is too dangerous to retreat at this time, and it is necessary to hold the city and fight a defensive counterattack.
Although Murong Shun heard that he was surrounded from three sides, he was panicked, it can be seen that Heiye is very calm, it is not that he has reached the end of the road, but he has also settled down a little, after listening to Heiye's reasons for sticking, Murong Shun did not have any good opinions, so he could only hesitate for a long time, and finally said, "I advance and retreat with the king, and I will defend and dispatch the battle, and we will all obey the command of the king." ”
With Murong Shun's support, Siye immediately announced the decision to defend the battle to the whole army.
Then divide the defensive strategy with the generals, divide the shifts, distribute the defense areas, and everything is in order.
Those people were a little panicked, but they couldn't leave at this time, although there was no trace of the enemy in the east, but the heir thought that it was very dangerous to let them leave now, even if they sent troops to escort them, it might not be safe, it was better to stay and help defend the village, anyway, there was no shortage of food in the village.
"What if you say there are more and more thieves?"
In the camp where the people lived, several officials leading the team were talking in whispers.
"What are you afraid of, the thieves are besieging more and more, is it possible that we will have no reinforcements in Daqin? I believe that the imperial court must have sent a large army to help at this moment, as long as we hold him for ten days and half a month, maybe the imperial army will be surrounded on all sides, but all the thieves will be surrounded, and then they will be served in a pot. ”
Everyone still trusts the imperial court very much, after all, Heiye has led an army to attack, and they have already won two great victories in Dafeiling and Wuhai in succession.
If it weren't for the small number of troops sent this time, there would be no need to worry about the combined forces of Tubo, Tuyuhun and Western Turks.
A petty official even felt that this was a rare opportunity, maybe there would be a big victory in Feiling, and they would also be able to assist in meritorious service, and they would also be rewarded and conferred.
Daqin has the most important military merits, and the military merit promotion is the fastest.
Dafei Lingzhai Gate.
Si Ye looked high and could see that not far away, the enemy's vanguard had appeared, and the shadow was full of shadows.
More than ten fast horses galloped out of the village in the twilight, and scattered after descending the mountain, each walking all the way.
They all carried the same piece of music on their backs.
"100,000 allied troops of Tuyuhun, Tubo, and Western Turks, besieging our army in Dafeiling, please help!"
