Text Chapter 166 Helpless

Thinking of the statement in the newspaper that if it wasn't for the timely evacuation, the loss would have doubled, Xie Shence suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

Didn't you say a surprise attack?

Didn't you say you were caught off guard?

Didn't you say that the city was broken under the stubborn defense?

So what's the deal with this timely evacuation?

If you evacuate in time, it means that you have time to prepare before, and if you have time to prepare before, how can you be called unprepared?

Xie Shence knows that in some cases, military intelligence can be written like this, and even deliberately exaggerating some facts is allowed to attract attention.

But that doesn't mean it's okay to miscommunicate!

If you have time to prepare, you won't be caught off guard, at least evacuate most of the people in the city, and send one or two battle reports, right? At this time, there is a time difference...... Why?

Sima Bi has a problem.

Xie Shence's intuition told him that there was something wrong with Sima Bi.

The reason why Sima Bi had a problem and not Guo Fei or Yuhuating and other generals of the Northern Army was because Xie Shence knew that a person like Sima Bi, who had been running the base camp for more than 20 years, would not disobey his orders. Xie Yi is the commander of the Northwest Army, just a remote leader, does anyone in the Northwest dare to be disrespectful to Xie Yi? Generals, large and small in the northwest, who dares to disobey Xie Yiyang? Who dares to disobey Xie Yi's military orders?

Sima Bi's Northwest Army will only be more oily than the Northwest, and will only be more monolithic than the Northwest.

If Guo Fei or Yuhuating has a problem, it can only mean that Sima Bi has a problem in the end.

Xie Shence now understood the reason why Emperor Jin wanted him to go north.

is not the auxiliary prince who thought before, but the superintendent Sima Bi.

Or, to put it more bluntly, surveillance.

Xie Shence felt more and more that it was a wise decision to let He Ruoque come over.

This kind of thing, how can there be less of this level of double-flower red sticks?

Moreover...... This time, he took 20,000 elite Youzhou iron horsemen, but Murong Cheng, who is known as the number one warrior in the world.

Xie Shence felt that such a fierce man, if he couldn't accept him as a junior brother, he would definitely be killed. And Xie Shence himself, in a head-to-head battle formation, does not have this ability.

Approaching Jizhou, Xie Shence found that there were more refugees going south. It's just that the north is still holding on, so the refugees are not so difficult, most of them came from Dingzhou, Xie Shence sent someone to ask, and a few came from the river.

"The war in the north is not as simple as imagined......"

Xie Shence and his entourage of more than 200 horsemen were walking slowly from the official road, and on the side of the road and on the fields, there were people who dragged their families and mouths. Xie Shence saw at a glance that there were still many Jizhou soldiers driving away the crowd or maintaining order.

This is not a retreat after breaking the barrier, just to avoid disaster in case of disaster, so although most people are in the dust, their mental state is still good, and they are extremely optimistic that the imperial court will be able to recover the lost territory in the future. Xie Shence also listened carefully to the conversations of some people, and among the words of these people, they still had a lot of confidence in Sima Bi's ability.

At this time, Jinju was in the midst of a big war.

It was the third time in one day that the Jin army had repelled the attack of the Youzhou army, and now the Jin army was standing on a section of the city wall, which they had recaptured for the third time at a very heavy price. Now the person in charge of guarding the city wall is the Dingzhou army that retreated from Dingzhou.

Just half a month ago, a 30,000-person Yan army suddenly appeared under the city of Dingzhou, although the day before Dingzhou City strengthened its defense according to Guo Fei's order, prepared some equipment to defend the city, but in the face of the Yan army with a large number of auxiliaries and siege equipment, the Dingzhou army finally abandoned the city and fled after three days of stubborn resistance.

Some of the soldiers who are now standing at the head of Jinju still remember the scene of that day. Dozens of catapults fanned closer to the city wall, and then huge stone bullets roared down from the sky, the first round of many stone bullets were smashed, but after several rounds of correction, the city wall became unsafe, although the Jin army defended the city with a sharp weapon - eight bull crossbows destroyed nearly half of the catapults, but under the continuous bombardment of the super-large and far-range catapults, the city wall still could not be saved, and a huge gap was smashed open the next day, after which a steady stream of infantry and Youzhou iron cavalry launched a charge towards Dingzhou City, After piling up corpses nearly a man tall in the gaps in the city walls, they finally rushed into the city. On the third day, the Yan army broke through the inner city. After a whole day of white-knuckle fighting, the city of Dingzhou fell.

After the fall of Dingzhou, Guo Fei fled back to Jinzhou with the remaining thousands of people at a very fast speed, and then defended the river in Jinzhou, putting on a defensive posture of fighting to the death.

In the last seven or eight days, the defense line along the river was first breached, and then it is unknown what method the Yan army used to transport the remaining nearly forty trebuchets across the river, and then launched the most fierce attack on Jinju City.

The range and accuracy of the Yan people's catapults were obviously inferior to those of the Jin Kingdom, and in the initial long-range attack-based engagement, more than a dozen large trebuchets placed in the city of Jinzhou played a role, directly smashing several of the opponent's largest trebuchets to pieces. However, due to the huge numerical superiority of the Yan army, and the fact that a section of the city wall of Dingzhou City was demolished and equipped with sufficient stone shells, the trebuchets in Jinju City quickly became targets and were eventually destroyed.

Later, although the Jin army destroyed all the opponent's trebuchets with powerful crossbows, the walls of Jinju City were also cut out in several sections.

Although the siege battle that followed was not the strong point of the Youju Iron Cavalry, the Jinju army was also under unimaginable pressure. Everyone in the Yan army rushed up like crazy, especially the black-armored army with about 2,000 people wrapped in black cloth, all of whom were armed with big swords and thick shields, not afraid of knives and axes, and were very fierce. The first two losses of the outer city of Jinju are their credit.

And yesterday, they learned the name of this army, and then they also knew who the commander of the Yan army who had just retreated was now.

Black Floating Capital.

Murong City.

This made the little confidence left in the hearts of the soldiers of the Northern Army, who were originally waiting for reinforcements, suddenly become even less. If it weren't for today's repulsion of the Yan army's three waves of attacks under the leadership of Guo Fei and Yuhuating, it is estimated that the current Jinzhou City would change hands again. And once it changes hands, the Jinju Fortress will not be able to hold it.

It is said that it is a very ironic thing that only after half a month of fighting will you know who the enemy commander is.

Guo Fei and Yu Huating are now in a private house, and the two are drinking porridge. Guo Fei drank a bowl with a big bowl of hulala, put the bowl down, then lifted his sleeve robe and wiped the sweat on his head, glanced at the Yuhua Pavilion that Si Swenwen was sipping, pointed to the nose of the Yuhua Pavilion and scolded: "Sissy, drinking porridge is like a little daughter-in-law." Hurry up, we'll have to house the wounded later. ”

Yuhuating glanced at Guo Fei coldly, and then continued to bow his head and drink porridge.

Guo Fei had long been accustomed to Yuhuating's cold attitude, and wiped his sweat again and scolded: "Damn, it's all to blame on that rabbit cub, if he hadn't reorganized the Tiqi Division, Lao Tzu wouldn't have been so miserable now." Made, I get angry when I think about it! From the fall of Dingzhou to the present, Lao Tzu has received a message from his Tiqi Division, which is still bad news, and Lao Tzu must smoke him when he sees him again......"

Guo Fei scolded on the side, and Yuhuating also drank the last bite of porridge.

"Do you dare to scold him in front of him?"

"Don't dare!"

Guo Fei replied with confidence.

"Don't say that he didn't give you a piece of news, even bad news in your eyes is better than no news, if you don't know that it is Murong Cheng on the other side, you may not be able to hold it today."

When fighting on the border, different people have different styles, and if they know something about each other, they can find a way to break the enemy.

"So what? Lao Tzu died more than 3,000 people in three days in Dingzhou! It's all the soldiers brought out by Lao Tzu by hand......"

Yuhuating stood up and said, "Don't scold, think about how to spend tomorrow, it's getting dark...... If we can't hold Jinju City, let's go to the general. ”

Guo Fei carried the big gun, put on the helmet, and sarcastically said behind Yuhuating: "You are a sissy, you are not by the general's side, if you don't run to Lao Tzu's side, if Lao Tzu doesn't know that you are a normal person, you really think that you are fascinated by Lao Tzu, haha......"

Laughing, Guo Fei suddenly turned back, only to hear a "duh", a silver gun pierced a door panel behind him, Guo Fei stretched out two fingers to wipe a smear of blood on his cheek, and scolded: "Your mother!" You're here for real! If I hadn't hid quickly, I would have been killed by you! ”

Yu Huating gently turned the barrel of the gun, split the door panel into two pieces, withdrew the silver gun, glanced at Guo Fei, and said coldly: "Be careful when you speak." If I hadn't rushed to Dingzhou City overnight to let you prepare early, I'm afraid you would have died a long time ago. ”

Guo Fei snorted, stopped making a sound, and the two continued to walk forward.

Yu Huating's sudden shot just now jumped several of the personal soldiers behind Guo Fei, if it weren't for the fact that these two were the top leaders of the Northern Army, they would definitely not be killed, and no one else saw them, they would really be ready to draw their swords. The former is nothing, it's just a big deal that one side dies, but if the soldiers see that the two main generals don't fight together, if it spreads at this time, I'm afraid the impact on the morale of the army will be very bad. It is possible to cause a mutiny.

After making some rounds and instructing him to speed up the repair of the city walls, Yuhuating returned to his temporary residence with his ivory army. The 100 ivory troops who originally rushed to Dingzhou with Yuhuating are now only more than 30 people.

After the Ivory Army rested, a group of patrol soldiers in leather armor walked through the room of the Yuhua Pavilion, and the last soldier silently threw a small piece of bamboo branch into the Yuhua Pavilion room through the broken window paper. After a while, Yuhuating lit the oil lamp and drank water, and after drinking the water, turned off the lights and went to bed.

The next day, Yuhuating found Guo Fei, who was drinking porridge.

"The general's side can't spare manpower, Shenzhou is besieged, and it is impossible to send reinforcements to protect itself. Jizhou's reinforcements will be two days later at the earliest. For the past two days, we have to rely on ourselves. ”

After Guo Fei listened, his two eyebrows were entangled together, and his eyes flashed with a ruthless light.

"I can't hold Jinju, my old Guo will go to see the general."

After Guo Fei finished speaking, he slammed the bowl in his hand to the ground. The yellowish rice porridge splashed on the charred city wall was very conspicuous.

"Now there is a shortage of materials in the city, Guo Fei, you dropped a bowl and spilled a bowl of porridge, if I am in charge of grain and grass, I must cut you down."

"Huh?"

Guo Fei's expression froze.

(PS: Anyway, the next big war...... I'm looking forward to it. Murong Cheng, who is better than He Ruoque?

Xie Shence is about to have a black belly......

In addition, it's also quite miserable, and the already small collection has dropped two, and the weak one asks for a collection~. ~ For the sake of the fly update, it's quite diligent.,Like to collect it)
