The army gathered outside the city. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe Liao army is very heavily guarded in Jingshi City, and each gate of Jingshi City has at least one Liao army leader leading Liao soldiers and soldiers to be responsible for monitoring. Day and night. Strictly prevent people in the city from breaking through.

The outskirts of the city were filled with the horse infantry troops of the Liao army, and the neighing of military horses outside the mouth came and went. Few people know how many Liao troops were stationed outside the city.

The original owners of all the houses on the outskirts of the city have long since moved out, and the Liao army has moved into these houses. In addition to these houses, curtains and tents lined up to form the military camp of the Liao army.

"How? Do you have a chance to send a message to the city? After Xiao Yuze, the sentinel of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, came back, He Tengxiao asked Xiao Yuze.

Xiao Yuze sighed lightly, then shook his head helplessly, and said: "The Liao army is heavily guarded, and the siege of the capital city is like an iron bucket, and there is no gap to break through. ”

After finishing speaking, Xiao Yuze added: "We have already lost several brothers, and it seems that it is impossible to send a message to the city. We can only see if our defenders in the city can react and come out to meet us. ”

He Tengxiao sent Xiao Yuze with the intention of breaking through from the Liao army's heavy siege and entering Jingshi City, sending a letter to the city, hoping that the defenders in Jingshi City would come out to meet them, and the defenders of Jingshi City would come out to respond. It will be much easier for them to enter the capital city.

Not only did the sentry on He Tengxiao's side break through into the city without success, but the sentry on Shan Futian's side also did not make any progress like the sentry on He Tengxiao's side. The Liao army surrounded the Jingshi City too tightly, so that people could not find a chance to start.

The loss of the sentry cavalry on Shan Futian's side was even heavier than that of He Tengxiao, and Shan Futian was very distressed when he heard the news that the sentry cavalry was damaged.

"Looks like we won't be able to get the word out to the city." Shan Futian said, "Whether the defenders in Jingshi City will come out to meet us depends on our own luck. ”

Seeing this, Shan Zhihang interjected: "The Liao army's defense may be lax at night, it is very difficult to infiltrate Jingshi City during the day, and at night, it may be easier for us to infiltrate Jingshi City." ”

Shan Futian suggested that he should go again at night and find an opportunity to sneak into Jingshi City to deliver the message. At night, there is night as a natural cover, and the possibility of successfully infiltrating Jingshi City at night is indeed greater than that during the day.

Shan Futian is considering his son Shan Zhihang's suggestion, and Shan Zhihang's suggestion seems to be feasible.

"Absolutely not!" He Tengxiao vetoed Shan Zhihang's suggestion. It is opposed to sending sentinels to the city at night to deliver messages.

"Why not!" Shan Zhihang's suggestion was vetoed by He Tengxiao, and Shan Zhihang originally had no good impression of He Tengxiao, but now he was even more unhappy, making it difficult for He Tengxiao to say, "Could it be that He Ying will have a better suggestion?" Lord Shangshu hasn't made up his mind yet, and General He Ying will veto this suggestion, which is a bit unreasonable, right? ”

Shan Zhihang himself has no official status, only a meritorious person, Shan Zhihang has always emphasized the official title of his father Shan Futian's military department secretary, which is nothing more than wanting to move out of his father to press He Tengxiao.

Of course, He Tengxiao will not be polite to Shan Zhihang, but it is not that he has a small amount of energy, so he has to go toe-to-toe with Shan Zhihang. This is war, not child's play, and every wrong decision, even a small one, can kill hundreds of people.

He Tengxiao would not joke with the lives of his soldiers.

"If we wait until the evening to deliver a message to the city, it means that we will have to confront the Liao army for a night." He Tengxiao stood on his horse, raised the horsewhip in his hand and pointed to the Liao army camp that was already faintly visible. Everyone looked in the direction He Tengxiao pointed, and couldn't help but shudder, and the timid were even shocked, "The front is the camp of the Liao army, the number of the Liao army, not to mention 100,000, this time the Liao Military Region poured out the nest, almost shaking out its old bottom, the Liao army outside the capital city, even if there are two or three hundred thousand." ”

Speaking of this, He Tengxiao paused, his eyes swept to the generals present, the generals lowered their heads and were silent, they knew what the concept of the two or three hundred thousand elite army was.

"And we, all the Qinwang troops here add up to only 70,000. And we are not in the same mind, let me ask all of you here, who is sure to guarantee that the confrontation with the Liao army for one night will be safe and sound? He Tengxiao's sharp gaze swept to the generals present again, and when it fell on Shan Zhihang, He Tengxiao's sharp gaze stayed on Shan Zhihang for a while, and Shan Zhihang was very uncomfortable, "Shan Gongzi, are you sure?" ”

He Tengxiao threw the problem that Shan Zhihang threw back to Shan Zhihang. The eyes of all the generals fell on Shan Zhihang, and for a while, Shan Zhihang became the focus here.

Shan Zhihang hated He Tengxiao in his heart, his face was blue and white for a while, and he didn't know how to answer this question.

Shan Zhihang is Shan Futian's baby son after all, Shan Futian is now the coach, don't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, don't give Shan Zhihang face, always give Shan Futian face, give Shan Futian a step down.

"As it stands, our only option is to take the city in a fight! If we miss this opportunity, when people's hearts are discouraged, it is the time of our death. He Tengxiao said, "Moreover, the Liao army is heavily guarded during the day, and the vigilance of the Liao army will not be relaxed at night, but will only be tighter than during the day. ”

He Tengxiao's last sentence woke up all the generals present: He Tengxiao was the only one of them who had combat experience with the Liao army. Ershan Zhihang is at best a smart and powerful kid. Between the two, who is more trustworthy will make a judgment.

After saying that, He Tengxiao bowed deeply to Shan Futian and the generals present.

The generals present looked at Shan Futian and waited for Shan Futian to make an idea, Shan Futian was the secretary of the Jinling City Military Department, and He Tengxiao was just a battalion general. What He Tengxiao said was just a suggestion after all, and the final decision was still in the hands of Shan Futian.

He Tengxiao's suggestion was more reasonable than that of his son Shan Zhihang. War is not child's play, the fate of 70,000 people is in the hands of Shan Futian, and Shan Futian must be cautious in making decisions, and cannot act rashly. Shan Futian still has the consciousness of this.

"General He Yingjiang is the only one here who has experience in fighting with the Liao army, and General He's suggestion is feasible. What do you think? In the end, Shan Futian did not make a mistake because of his feelings.

Shan Futian decided that no one objected, since it was decided to break through the heavy siege of the Liao army and enter the city today, then the biggest question below was who would take the lead.

"Who's in charge?" A general of the Qinwang Army stood up and asked. (To be continued.) )
