Lu Bu waved the Chinese Heavenly Painting Halberd in his hand, and after killing several powerful generals of the Rest Country in a row, he reined in the reins of the war horse and stopped the pursuit of the defeated cavalry of the Rest Country.

What's more, at this time, the cavalry units in the other three directions of Gaqim City have already joined the liquidation of the defeated cavalry of the Sabbatical Country, and these cavalry of the Sabbatical State remaining outside the city of Gaqim should be cleared up soon.

For this victory, Lu Bu's face did not show any joy, but showed some chagrin.

Originally, Lü Bu hoped that he could take advantage of the rout of the rest of the country to enter the city of Gaqim, and take the city of Gaqim in a battle, but unfortunately the cavalry of the rest of the country retreated quickly and resolutely, Lu Bu took the cavalry of the second cavalry brigade of the Guards Corps under his command, and only intercepted about half of the cavalry of the rest of the country that left the city, and the other half of the rest of the cavalry of the rest country successfully escaped back to the city.

The Marquis of Obaid, the commander of the Resting Country, stood on the eastern wall of Gaqim City, and looked at the scene of the cavalry of the Broken Army chasing and killing the cavalry of the Rest Nation outside the city with a gloomy face, and he was so angry that he almost gritted his teeth.

Marquis Obayd originally wanted to give the Broken Army a dismount, but he didn't expect that the cavalry of the Broken Army in the east outside the city of Gaqim was very strong in combat, and the more than 60,000 cavalry of the Sabbatical State who went out of the city were actually pressed and beaten by others, if it wasn't for the Marquis of Obayd who made a quick decision and gave the order to retreat, the more than 60,000 cavalry of the Sabbatarian State would have to stay outside the city of Gaqim.

In the end, less than 30,000 of the more than 60,000 cavalry of the Sabbatical State returned safely to the city of Gaqim, thanks to the Marquis of Obaid, who left an elite Sabbatarian cavalry to be responsible for the rear, otherwise the cavalry of the Broken Army would probably take the opportunity to enter the city of Gaqim.

Yusuf, the commander of the Sixth Legion of the Sabbatarian Country, stood beside the Marquis of Obaid, the commander of the Sabbath Country, and gritted his teeth and said: "This group of bastards of the Broken Army, this enemy Yusuf must be returned!" ”

The elite cavalry left behind by the Marquis of Obayd belonged to a cavalry team of 10,000 people of the Sixth Legion, and almost a quarter of the more than 30,000 cavalry of the Sabbatical Nation lost out of the city this time were cavalry of the Sixth Legion.

The Marquis of Obaid said in a deep voice to the four legion commanders beside him: "The garrison troops of your legions must strictly defend the city wall, it seems that we can only defend it to the death!" ”

Today's battle out of the city has left a deep shadow on the Marquis of Obayd, and he is not ready to let the army of the rest country face the impact of the elite cavalry of the Broken Army, or honestly defend the city wall!

After the cavalry of the Broken Capture Army was outside the city of Gaqim and cleared the remnants of the cavalry of the Rest Country, Fang Jie, the captain of the Second Cavalry Brigade of the Guards Legion, urged the horse to come to Lu Bu and said: "General, the battlefield has been cleaned up, and about 30,000 cavalry of the Rest Country have been eliminated, including more than 4,000 prisoners, and our several cavalry brigades have lost about 3,000 people, and the battle loss ratio is 1 to 10, which can be described as a big victory." ”

"Take the more than 4,000 prisoners of the cavalry of the Resting Nation to a place close to the walls of the city of Gaqim, and cut off the heads of the more than 3,000 prisoners of the cavalry of the Resting Kingdom in front of the army of the Resting Nation in the city, we have no food to feed these butchers!" Lu Bu said in a cold voice, Lu Bu already knew that the seventy or eighty thousand people in Gaqim City had been slaughtered by the army of the Rest Country.

Fang Jie hesitated for a moment and said: "General, if we cut down these more than 4,000 cavalry captives of the Rest Country, the troops of the Rest Country in Gaqim City will definitely resist to the end and will not surrender to us easily, in that case, if we want to conquer the City of Jiaqim, we will have to pay a greater price." ”

Lu Bu said disapprerovingly: "I was not ready to accept the surrender of the army of the Resting State in the city of Gaqim, from the day the army of the Resting State slaughtered the captured soldiers of our Broken Army, the fate of this army of the Resting Country was already doomed!" ”

Fang Jie frowned and said: "According to the information sent by Heishuitai, the five Rest Nation Legions that entered Shakhtinsk Province are currently gathered in Gaqim City, with a total strength of nearly 300,000, even if the more than 20,000 Sabbatarian cavalry annihilated today are removed, there must still be about 280,000 people in Gaqim City, and if we want to completely annihilate these 280,000 Sabbatarian troops, we must be prepared to pay huge casualties." ”

Lu Bu sighed and said: "If it is a strong attack, it is indeed not easy to capture the city of Jiaqim, without hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of lives, it is impossible to capture the city of Jiaqim, as for whether to choose to attack, I have to discuss with Mr. Wu to see if Mr. Wu has any other ways." ”

Wu Zixu, whom Liu Ji had just summoned, arrived in Shakhtinsk Province together with the three cavalry brigades of the Western Regions Army, and Liu Ji sent Wu Zixu to Shakhtinsk Province in the hope that Wu Zixu could help Lu Bu make plans and eliminate the army of the Sabbatarian State that entered Shakhtinsk Province as soon as possible, and then most of the troops of the Broken Army in Shakhtinsk Province could rush to Cilisi City to increase the strength in Liu Ji's hands.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Lu Bu returned to the camp of the Broken Army in the east outside the city of Jiaqim, and found Wu Zixu, "Mr. Wu, today, the army of the Rest Country in the city of Rest was annihilated by our army, and it is not so easy to let the army of the Rest Country go out of the city again in the future, and according to the information of Heishuitai, there must be about 280,000 enemies in the city, if we choose to attack, our losses will be very large, I don't know if Mr. Wu has any good way?" ”

At present, in addition to less than 15 cavalry troops, Lu Bu also has 20 infantry battalions drawn from various cities in Shakhtinsk Province, and the strength of these 20 infantry battalions is only 160,000, relying on these more than 300,000 troops, it is very difficult to storm the city of Gaqim, which has an army of 280,000.

Wu Zixu stroked his beard and said: "General Lu, since the army of the Resting State in Gaqim City is so strong, it is indeed a little inappropriate to attack it, and the loss is too great, but the lord hopes that we can solve the Resting Army in Shakhtinsk Province as soon as possible, and then transfer troops to reinforce Cilisi City, so it is not possible to use the method of long-term siege, so the best way is to outwit it." ”

After a pause, Wu Zixu continued: "I think we can try to dig tunnels, and in order to hide our real means, we can make a posture of long-term siege." ”

Lu Bu frowned and said: "It's good if we can successfully dig out the tunnel, the key is that the army of the Sabbatarian in the city will definitely take precautions against such means as digging tunnels, and the possibility of our success is not great." ”

Wu Zixu then said: "Then we can only see how our luck is." ”

Lu Bu nodded, the method of digging tunnels does require luck to a large extent, but there is no other good way now, and it is okay to dig tunnels and give it a try.

In the following days, the captives in four directions outside the city of Gaqim only continued to strengthen the camp, and did not attack the city of Gaqim, making it look like they were going to besiege the city for a long time.

On the evening of June 28, 428 of the Great Jin Dynasty, in a council chamber in the city lord's mansion of Gaqim City, the commander of the Resting State, Marquis Obayd, said to the Sacred Fire Sect's diamond-level holy fire guardian Yahini and the four commanders of the Resting Nation: "Judging from the fact that the Broken Prisoners have been building camps in the past few days, the Broken Prisoners outside the city want to trap us dead in the City of Ghacim. ”

Yusuf, the commander of the Sixth Legion of the Sabbath Country, sneered and said: "The food we got from those Gaochang civilians in the city is enough to support us to hold on to Gaqim City for seven or eight months, and this is still when we have more than 200,000 people without losses, in fact, we can definitely hold out for a longer time." ”

The Sacred Fire Sect's diamond-level Sacred Flame Guardian Yasini followed aloud and said: "The key to the victory of the Holy Fire this time is the decisive battle between the armies of Dawan and Cheshi and the main force of the Broken Army in Cilis City, if the armies of Dawan and Cheshi win, the Broken Army of the entire Shakhtinsk Province will not be worried, now we are not short of food, then we just need to wait patiently for the news of the victory or defeat of that decisive battle in Gaqim City, but I firmly believe that the final victory must belong to our Holy Fire Sect and the various countries of the Western Regions participating in the Holy War!" ”

The commander of the Sabbatical State, the Marquis of Obaid, nodded, and was about to say something, when a guard of the Marquis of Obaid broke into the council hall and shouted: "Marquis, it's not good! There was a sudden shout of killing in the city, as if it should be the direction of the East City Gate! ”

Everyone in the council hall stood up in shock, and Yusuf, the commander of the Sixth Legion of the Rest Country, shouted incredulously: "How is this possible? How did the Breakers get in? ”

Marquis Obaide knew that now was not the time to study how the Breaker Army would enter the city, and he said urgently: "Quick! The legions immediately mobilized their troops and cleared the city of the Broken Army as soon as possible! I personally led the troops to the east city gate, and I must not let the broken army open the city gate! ”

Marquis Obayd and the others hurriedly ran out of the council hall, and sure enough, they vaguely heard the sound of shouting and killing, and it was indeed in the direction of the East City Gate, and then Marquis Obayd, the Legion Commander Zafir of the 24th Legion, and the Diamond-level Sacred Flame Guardian Yasini of the Holy Fire Sect immediately rushed to the East Gate of Gaqim City with a large number of troops from the Sabbath Country and dozens of Holy Fire Guards, and the 24th Legion was the troops responsible for guarding the East City Gate and the entire East City Wall.

However, before the Marquis of Obaid and others arrived at the East City Gate, they learned that the East City Gate had been captured by the Broken Army, and the troops of the Broken Army outside the city were constantly rushing into the city of Gaqim from the East City Gate.

Marquis Obayd hurriedly said to Zafir, the commander of the 24th Legion: "Zafir, we must take back the East City Gate at all costs, otherwise all of us will not survive!" ”

"Lord Marquis, don't worry, our 24th Legion will definitely take back the East City Gate!"

At the same time, at the east gate of Gaqim City, Lu Bu and his men had just seized the city wall above the city gate, and a large number of soldiers of the Broken Army were continuing to attack along the city wall to both sides.

"Fang Jie, the East City Gate is handed over to you here, I will lead people to continue to attack and advance towards the neighborhoods in the city, you must guard the East City Gate, otherwise our troops entering the city will be in danger." Lu Bu ordered Fang Jie in a deep voice.

"General, rest assured, Fang Jie swears to defend the East City Gate!"

Lu Bu didn't expect that the process of digging the tunnel was very smooth, and it only took less than four days to dig out a tunnel leading to the city of Gaqim from the camp of the Broken Army in the east of the city, and the exit of this tunnel happened to be in an ordinary courtyard in the east of the city, less than 100 steps away from the east gate.

Because of the massacre of the Gaochang people in the city of Rest, the courtyard has become empty, and the soldiers of the Rest Country have no one to live in this courtyard, so that thousands of elite soldiers of the Broken Army, under the leadership of Fang Jie, quietly entered the courtyard of the city of Gasim.

In the end, under the surprise attack of Fang Jie and thousands of elite soldiers of the Broken Army, the east gate of Gaqim City soon fell into the hands of the Broken Army, and the city gate was also opened by the soldiers of the Broken Army.

After the Broken Army took control of the East Gate of the Broken City, the Rest Army launched a frantic attack, trying to recapture the East Gate occupied by the Broken Army, but unfortunately, with the cooperation of the Broken Army's cavalry and infantry, the Rest Army attacked many times in vain, and the fierce battle near the East Gate continued until the next morning, but the East Gate was still firmly controlled by the Broken Army, and the Broken Army had more than 100,000 people who entered the city of Ghachim.

In the city lord's mansion of Gaqim City, Marquis Obaide, the commander of the Sabbatical State, who was wrapped in a bloody white cloth on his chest, asked Yusuf, the commander of the Sixth Legion of the Sabbath Country, in a hoarse voice: "Can the East City Gate be recaptured?" ”

Marquis Obayd personally led his troops in the battle to recapture the East Gate last night, but during the battle, Marquis Obayd was shot in the chest by an arrow, and if it weren't for the strong armor on his body, the army of the Sabbatarian in Gaqim City would now be leaderless.

Yu Sufu, the commander of the Sixth Legion of the Rest Country, said with a gloomy face: "Marquis, almost all of the entire Dongcheng District has fallen into the hands of the Broken Army, and the number of troops that the Broken Army has entered Gaqim City may already be more than 100,000, even if we can take back the East City Gate, the East City Gate will not play a big role, and it is almost impossible for us to recapture the East City Gate." ”

Marquis Obaid gritted his teeth and said: "Give orders to all legions, give up continuing to attack the east gate from the streets, and all legions will start defensive operations on the spot, and we will fight to the end with the Broken Army in Gaqim City!" ”

The Marquis of Obaid knew in his heart that it would not work without a bloody battle to the end, and the Broken Army would not spare them, and even if they surrendered, they would inevitably die.
