Chapter 144: Turmoil

Sima Long's anxious Yunye didn't understand, just like people outside the national capital had not yet received the news of the drastic changes in the national capital, and everyone thought that the Great Jin was still the Great Jin, the Great Jin controlled by the powerful ministers of the major clans.

Now what Yunye has to think about is how to hold Suizhou City and wait for Yue Zhan to lead his troops to come to help.

Soon after he captured Suizhou, the nearby cities that got the news of the fall of Suizhou were like crazy and sent troops to Suizhou.

It seems that the Great Jin Dynasty gave them a death order, and used the system of joint sitting, Suizhou fell, if they don't go all out to snatch it back, they will not escape death.

It only took one day, and the teams of the various city gates around Suizhou City had all arrived at Suizhou City to assemble.

According to the information they had obtained before, if they were to go out in full swing, there would be about 10,000 regular troops plus 20,000 temporarily recruited people, adding up to more than 30,000 people.

At this time, Yun Ye only had 3,000 soldiers under his command, and 1,000 of these 3,000 people were wounded soldiers, it would be too wasteful to let them go into battle, and it was not worth it, and Yun Ye would not let them fight with injuries until the most critical moment.

Looking at the tens of thousands of Jin troops who were gathering in array outside the city, Yun Ye frowned, he still needed to hold on for three days, and after three days, Yue Zhan would lead his troops to arrive, maybe the cavalry would be faster, but the fastest, they would also need two and a half days.

These soldiers in the city are all veterans, they are the heritage of the Western Army, they are the hardest backbone of the Western Army, and they are the ones who support the glory of the Western Army, but now, they are likely to lose everything in their own hands.

"Alas! Pass the order down, recruit troops with a lot of money, try to recruit some Suizhou people to defend the city with us, our wounded soldiers will first recuperate in the city, and the rest of the people will guard the city with me, there is no rest time, eat and live with me in the city tower! ”

"We need to hold out for three days before we can wait for our reinforcements!"

The order is a little helpless, but there is really no way to do it, now there is only a way to defend it, there will definitely be death on the battlefield, even if it is the foundation of the Western Army, at this moment, they have to build a line of defense with their own flesh and blood.

The soldiers agreed with a bang, and the entire Suizhou City ran nervously and quickly with Yunye's order being conveyed, they were waiting for this war, and they must also survive this war!

The Western Army, it cannot be defeated!

In the northern frontier of the Great Jin Dynasty, a military general dressed in the armor of the Great Jin Dynasty rushed to the main tent of the Northern Legion.

"General, the Huns can't help it, now it's just autumn, and there is a bumper harvest of grain in various places, and they have gathered 100,000 desert cavalry, ready to go south to grab grain for this year's winter."

"Didn't the news go to the country?"

The middle-aged man known as the general frowned, now the Northern Legion is no longer what it used to be, after Guo Zijing's defeat last time, the Northern Legion has changed from more than 200,000 people to more than 100,000 now.

They are no longer the northern army that the Huns are extremely afraid of, and now even if the Huns eat them, they will not dare to face them, because they are not sure. They also can't lose, once they are defeated, then the entire north of the Great Jin Dynasty, there is no strength to stop the Hun cavalry, they will be in the north of the Great Jin, burning, killing and looting, do whatever they want!

"It's good to send the news out, see if the national capital will give us more troops, now we can only count on them, it is difficult for us to compete with 100,000 desert cavalry alone."

The general sighed, fortunately, now the Huns are only thinking about snatching some grain and grass for the winter, and they have no more plans for the time being, otherwise, their danger is definitely not weaker than that of the Western Army.

But Rao is like this, in order to facilitate the ability to go south every year in the future to rob the grain and grass slaves, when the Huns attack, they will definitely destroy the fortifications accumulated by the Great Jin Dynasty over the years one by one. Without the protection of these fortifications, it was difficult for the army of the Great Jin Dynasty to compete with the Huns, and their desert cavalry was known as invincible in the field, even if the northern cavalry was only sure to win if they were twice as numerous as the other side.

"Do we need to arm now? Or put the Huns in? ”

After the general heard what the general said, he was also like a mirror in his heart, every general who divided one side would not gamble all his money to go to war with foreign clans, this is the tradition of the Great Jin, they would rather put more troops on internal fighting.

"Let them in, try to avoid them, and when they start to divide and plunder, we will concentrate our forces to defeat some of their scattered men and horses, and by the way, we can grab some food and grass for the winter."

This plan is definitely a very good plan, not only to maintain their own strength, but also not to fall into the charge of non-resistance, in the end, as long as there are a few more tough battles, let the Huns who have grabbed enough things retreat, it is also a great achievement, and by the way, you can also snatch some grain and grass, one stone! It's just that the people of northern Xinjiang have suffered.

But the common people are the largest group in time, and how many people care about the lives and deaths of these individual people? They, for their grander view of the big picture!

"General Yingming, I'll do it!"

The military general bowed down and withdrew, their general's thoughts, he knew that maybe he could succeed, at that time, he would be a meritorious founding hero, even if he didn't succeed and become a prince of one side, it would be okay to tear the soil and seal the marquis in the future, and he would be able to follow and eat.

With the departure of the general, Zhao Yi, the king of the northern realm, known as the great general, burst into ejaculation with his eyes.

"There has been no news from the national capital for a long time, it seems that something must have happened, but it was suppressed by some well-intentioned people."

"But what's going on?"

Zhao Yi's expression was uncertain, he had long been unaccustomed to those high-flying and domineering clans, if they launched a coup d'Γ©tat or something, it was in his own arms, even if the Huns in the north were defeated, he would not pay attention to it, they would naturally retreat after they finished robbing, and the situation in the national capital was related to the rise and fall of a dynasty, perhaps, it would also be related to the change of the throne, but these, who can know?

It's better to preserve your strength first, it's fundamental to be strong, and now send someone to the national capital to talk about the wind, maybe the situation is really the same as you think.

Northern Xinjiang may suffer from annihilation because of the Huns going south, or maybe this time, it will be the last time I will see the complete northern Xinjiang.

A trace of reluctance flashed in Zhao Yi's heart, but this could not shake him, politics and military affairs originally needed to be ruthless, otherwise, they could only become a stepping stone for others.

Having said that, Zhao Yi hesitated, but still went out, rode his war horse alone and ran to the outskirts of the barracks, here, after all, is also the place where he has been running for most of his life! (To be continued.) )
