In the conversation in the barracks that day, Mo Fei still failed to know the true thoughts of his subordinates in the end. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Not long after the info time passed, the Qin army launched a second attack on Ming City.

In this attack, the Qin army made all preparations, first with iron cavalry to cover the left and right, the siege troops first, and secondly, the archers broke behind, and the main force pressed the formation. Confined to this situation, whether it was Ye Huaiwu or Mo Fei, they could only let the Qin army attack the city.

In the case of a huge disparity in strength, once the Qin army seriously arranges its defenses, even if it has the Eight Beasts Army and special forces in its hands, it will be useless. In fact, the first time the Qin army attacked Mingcheng, there was some temptation, and Qin Fufeng revealed his flaws, allowing Mo Fei to take advantage.

If there are no reinforcements, Mingcheng can't be saved, and Yan and Yun can't be saved, which is a well-known point. Sooner or later, the sixteen counties of Yanyun will face the danger of breaking the city, but it all depends on what price Qin Fufeng, the king of the Qin State, is willing to exchange for the sixteen counties of Yanyun.

Before the Qin army attacked the city, Ye Huaiwu had already sent someone to order Mingcheng that if the city could be kept, he would do whatever it took to defend Mingcheng. If the city is broken, Ge Zhanlu can go to Yuncheng with his subordinates, leaving Qingshan without worrying about no firewood, as long as there is still a city in the sixteen counties of Yanyun to be kept, the Qin army will not dare to attack Bazhou unscrupulously.

The horn of war sounded, and after three days, there were few 300,000 soldiers left in the Ming City, the bows were exhausted, the troops were sharply reduced, and the city was broken only in the morning and night.

On the occasion of this gap, Ye Huaiwu rode at night and came to Yancheng single-handedly. This time, I came mainly to discuss with Mo Fei the next move of the Qin army.

It's night, Wu barracks.

The lights trembled, and after Ye Huaiwu drank three glasses of soju in a row, he sighed for a long time, and he didn't know how to say it.

"General Ye plans to defend the sixteen counties of Yanyun to the death?"

Ye Huaiwu sighed, looking at Mo Fei next to him, although he was young, he was old and serious, and his heart was even more sad. Mo Fei's ability has been reflected in all the battles of all sizes since he took over Yancheng.

It can be said that the person in front of him, Wen Taowu is all excellent. If His Majesty the Emperor gives him a heavy responsibility, even if he doesn't have to plot against the world and chase Zhongzhou, but only to defend it, Datang will definitely sit back and relax within a hundred years.

But because of the suspicion of His Majesty the Emperor, this person was assigned to this poor mountain and bad water border area, and because of fate, he won the position of the guard of Yancheng, but he had to face the danger of breaking the city.

Ye Huaiwu smiled helplessly and said, "The horse leather shroud is a fate that a general has to face. Not to mention...... My father and brother are both in Chang'an, if I retreat because of this, the Ye family ...... I'm just afraid ......"

Ye Huaiwu's words were not finished, but he guessed the helplessness in his words.

The two fell silent for a while, and after a while, Ye Huaiwu reluctantly smiled and said: "I heard that in Chang'an, those students and masters of the academy, for some reason, all ran on the streets, it seems that they want His Majesty to send troops to support the sixteen counties of Yanyun. Now, the voices of the people are boiling, and I am afraid that it will not be long before His Majesty will have to send troops to help. ”

"I'm afraid not necessarily." Mo Fei knew that Ye Huaiwu's words had an element of comfort in him, and after careful consideration, he took out a letter from his arms, which Zhang Jingmo stole from the then guard commander. After Mo Fei took it out, he handed it to Ye Huaiwu, Ye Huaiwu frowned and looked at Mo Fei, puzzled.

Then, he opened the envelope and looked at it carefully, and every time he looked at a line, Ye Huaiwu's hand clenched tightly. Until he finished reading the letter, Ye Huaiwu's trembling hands still couldn't stop. After about a long time, Ye Huaiwu's eyes closed and he said mournfully: "Your Majesty, after all, you don't trust our Ye family. ”

"If that's the case, why ......"

"Why do you have to stick to Yanyun?" Ye Huaiwu cut off Mo Fei's words, and suddenly smiled sadly: "He is unkind, but our Ye family can't be unjust." Even if I don't defend the country for him, I can't let the iron cavalry of the Qin army stain the blood of the people of the Tang Dynasty. ”

It's silent.

Ye Huaiwu was still depressed after a long time: "Brother Mo, if Yancheng can't hold it, you should leave here quickly." ”

Mo Fei was not hypocritical: "I will." ”

……

A few days after Ye Huaiwu left, sure enough, the Ming City was finally broken under the fierce offensive of the Qin army.

From the time the Qin army crossed the Heishui River to the breaking of Mingcheng, for more than half a year, the sixteen counties of Yanyun withstood several waves of the Qin army's offensive with their tenacious vitality.

In this time to resist the attack of the Qin army, Mingcheng was defeated by the defender Ge Zhanlu to the nobodies below.

After this tragic war, the sixteen counties of Yanyun suddenly rained heavily, and this heavy rain stopped from time to time until the Qin army reorganized its troops and prepared to attack Yancheng.

These days, the soldiers up and down Yancheng are nervously paying attention to the dynamics of the Qin army, and the commander of the Eight Beast Army, Xu Dahai and others, are guarding the city wall. However, among these people, except for Zhang Tian and Xu Dahai, who have a strong interest in war, the rest of the people are full of worries in their hearts.

The Qin army and the Tang army fought for several rounds, and now in the Tang army's camp, there are less 300,000 troops in Mingcheng, and Yancheng and Yuncheng also have casualties at different levels in the previous war. These casualties add up to hundreds of thousands, and it is really not a gratifying thing to exchange the cost of 400,000 casualties for the casualties of 500,000 soldiers of the Qin army.

As the defender of Yancheng, he naturally knows that he has a great responsibility. However, he was quite helpless about the disparity in troops.

After a few days of heavy rain, on this day, the Qin army finally launched a fierce attack. The camp of the Qin army is the same as when it attacked Mingcheng before, this kind of camp is not brilliant, and when it fights, it can often cause 1,000 wounds to the enemy and 800 self-losses. But this kind of well-behaved style of play restrained Ye Huaiwu in Cloud City, making him dare not go out of the city to help.

knew that it was not the best strategy to go out of the city to face the battle, so he ordered the soldiers to close the city gate and defend the city.

Once the Qin army attacked the city, it threw boulders and shot arrows with bows, among them, it was impossible to brew a large amount of industrial alcohol, and once the Qin army siege troops approached, they poured industrial alcohol down, and then shot rockets.

This measure gave the Qin army a headache, and in the past, when attacking the city, they would also encounter rockets and the like, but rockets often hit the soldiers before they could play a role, as for the use of flammable liquids, even if the soldiers could think of it, they could not implement it.

Just because, flammable objects are generally scarce in the army, how can they be splashed at will like water. Therefore, under the splash of a large amount of alcohol, these Qin troops were also helpless. (To be continued.) )
