Cao Hong replied: "The grain and grass in the barracks are enough for half a month!" ”

Cao Cao nodded and ordered, "You can let Beigu City distribute grain and grass!" ”

"No!"

At this moment, Ma Chao walked in with a human head, looking in a hurry. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Ma Chao threw the head to the ground and said proudly: "Your Majesty, the last general has brought you back a gift!" ”

Cao Cao glanced at the human head on the ground, Cao Cao was already numb to such a scene, and asked in some surprise: "The people of the Jin Kingdom still dare to fight?" ”

"I don't know! Anyway, if one comes out, the last general will slaughter him! ”

Cao Cao smiled, patted Ma Chao's arms, and praised: "Meng Qi deserves to be a famous brave general in our army!" Good! ”

Ma Chao became excited, hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty, let the last general challenge again!" ”

Cao Cao laughed, "I don't dare to show my head anymore!" Meng Qi should go down and rest! ”

"No!" Ma Chao promised and withdrew from the big tent.

Later that day, the Jin court was reeling at the superiority of the Roman army in the west. At this moment, the herald hurried into the main hall.

"Queen, Huang Huang took out the general's flying pigeon biography!" The herald reported with a letter in both hands.

Interior Minister Konev smiled and said: "Maybe there is good news for the general!" ”

Queen Silan smiled slightly, and motioned for the herald to present the herald.

Queen Silan took the herald from the herald's hand, opened it with a smile, and looked at it, her face gradually changed.

Seeing this, the ministers felt that something might be wrong, and Prime Minister Schroeder cautiously asked, "Empress, what happened?" ”

Queen Silan put down the handicap, glanced at the ministers, and said indifferently: "The avant-garde fortress of Khorezm Fortress has been lost!" ”

The sound was not loud, but it was like thunder in the ears of the ministers.

The ministers were shocked and discussed. Interior Minister Konev said incredulously: "This is impossible! ”

Queen Silan said: "The main attacking force of the enemy army is the First Legion!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the people no longer doubted them.

The strong combat power of the First Legion is deeply rooted in the hearts of all Jinguo people.

Everyone fell silent, and the atmosphere seemed very depressing.

After a while, Prime Minister Schroeder asked, "I don't know how many people the Wei army is attacking the Khorezm fortress?" ”

Queen Silan said: "According to what Huang said, the total strength of the Wei army is about 300,000 people, of which the first army is 100,000 horses, and the other 200,000 horses are all Xianbei troops and rest army!" ”

Schroeder analyzed: "In this way, the Wei army that can really threaten the Khorezm fortress is the elite of the 100,000 First Legion!" Queen Silan nodded, "Not bad! ”

Schroeder continued to analyze: "Although the elite combat power of the First Army of the Wei Army is strong, the Khorezm fortress is on a high platform, surrounded by dangerous peaks and mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack!" Our army should be able to defend for a while! On the side of the fortress of Durant and the province of Yukan, the total strength of our army is more than 900,000, while the enemy army in front is only 600,000! Among them, there is only the second legion, and the fourth legion is the elite main force of the Wei army! The overall combat power of our army is not weaker than that of the enemy! You can put all the tribal servants and local garrisons that have been assembled recently into the Durrant Fortress, and then let the general Zhengnan fight back in full force! If the Wei army of the Emperor of Wei can be defeated, the general trend is set! ”

The ministers chimed in.

Janissary General Delov frowned and said: "But in this way, the country will be empty!" And this is to throw all our strength into a decisive battle, and if we fail, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

Schroeder said in a deep voice: "Our Jin Empire has no way out!" We must win! ”

Queen Silan suddenly got up, "What the prime minister said is right! Tell all the soldiers participating in the war whether the Jin Empire can continue and whether the homeland can be preserved depends on them in this battle! ”

As soon as they heard this, everyone's blood couldn't help but boil, and it looked like a bit of the posture of the Soviets during World War II.

Empress Silan said resolutely: "At the time of the survival of this empire, I, as the queen of the empire, must not stay comfortably in the palace, I will go to the front line in person!" ”

All the ministers were stunned, and they all bowed down excitedly.

"Queen, you are the mother of a country, how can you personally take risks?" Empress Silan's younger brother, Framo, objected.

"It is precisely because I am the mother of a country that I should stay with the soldiers who are fighting bloodily in front of me! Besides, the Emperor of Wei was able to drive the expedition in person, why couldn't I? Seeing that Flamo wanted to say something more, he frowned and said, "Okay! I've decided! Say no more! Vramo had no choice but to agree.

Queen Slan said to Delov: "Immediately prepare for my personal expedition!" Keep it simple, don't do the ceremony! Departure tomorrow! "Yes!"

"Prime Minister, after I leave, all the affairs of the empire will be handed over to you!"

Schroeder was taken aback, "I, how can I take on this responsibility?" ”

Queen Silan encouraged: "I believe in you! You also have to believe in your own abilities! The Empire is in crisis, and everyone should step up and take responsibility! ”

Schroeder couldn't help but be excited, and bowed: "The minister swears to serve the queen to the death!" ”

Queen Slan nodded in satisfaction and helped Schroeder up. Said to Vramo: "General Delov will go out with me, and the safety of the imperial capital will be handed over to you!" Don't be careless! When I'm not there, everything is up to the prime minister! Although Framo looked down on Schroeder, he also understood that this was not the time to fight for power, so he solemnly agreed.

Early the next morning, Queen Silan led the Praetorian Guards to the battle, and Queen Silan in military uniform had a charming charm.

The ministers and hundreds of thousands of people of the Jin Kingdom came to see them off, and unlike before, there was no noise, and there was a solemn atmosphere in the air.

All the people seem to have realized what this battle means to the people of Jinguo!

――――――――――――――――――――――――

The mountains of Khorezm.

After the Wei army captured the middle fortress of the three avant-garde forts, it immediately blitzed the other two avant-garde forts from the rear with the first corps, and the enemy was quickly routed by surprise, killing, wounding and capturing nearly 30,000 people. At this point, the three avant-garde fortresses on which the fortress of Khorezm rested as a barrier were unscathed.

Immediately, a total of 20,000 soldiers of the First Army of the Wei Army controlled the traffic between the left and right peaks of the Khorezm fortress and the fortress, but then withdrew, because the catapults on the left and right peaks were a huge threat to the Wei army who tried to cut off the traffic, and the Wei army's catapults could not pose a threat to the left and right peaks fortresses because of the height.

The fort is located on the high peaks on the left and right sides of the Khorezm fortress, and the reason why the fort was built on top of it is that there is a path that goes around to the back of the Khorezm fortress.

In fact, this entire defense system was built by the Sabbatarians.

When the Jin people went south, the rest of the defenders who defended it surrendered without a fight.

The 20,000 soldiers of the 1st Wei Army retreated to a valley six miles in front of the Khorezm fortress, and the reason why they did not camp on the flat ground near the fortress was because the catapults on the left and right peaks were able to bombard the flat land in front of them.

"Your Excellency, General, attack! There are only 20,000 of them! One of the generals suggested excitedly.

Huang Xuan shook his head, "The First Legion of the Wei Army is extremely powerful!" And they relied on the canyon terrain that was conducive to defense! We can't strike! ”

"By the way, I asked you to summon Tony City, did you send a message?" Huang asked.

Tony City, on the plain on the north side of the Great Mountain of Khorezm, is the capital of the Tony Province of the Jin people, this Tony Province is located under the snow-capped mountains, the land is fertile, the water and grass are abundant, it is a good place, it was originally the land of the Sabbatarians. Now Tony City is the support of the entire Khorezm defense line, and millions of loads of grain and grass are hoarded in the city.

The general replied: "It has been summoned just now!" ”

Huang nodded his head. I couldn't help but wonder: 'Will the Wei army attack Tony City?' ’

Shaking his head self-deprecatingly, he muttered, "I'm really worried too much!" ”

"Your Excellency General, what did you say?" The general asked.

Huang Yu shook his head, "Nothing? Go down and do your thing! ”

"Yes!" The general replied and retreated.

Later that day, the Wei army arrived at the ravine in front of the Khorezm fortress.

Hu Zhao climbed the hill on one side, looked at the terrain of the entire Khorezm fortress defense line, and frowned: "This place is even more dangerous than I imagined!" ”

Xiahou Yuan nodded sympathetically, "Not bad!" What a grandma's danger! Frontal assault is never easy! ”

Hu Zhao nodded and asked, "Miaocai, is there any news of General Zixiao?" ”

Xiahou Yuan said: "I received Zixiao's message an hour ago, and they are not far from their goal!" ”

Hu Zhao muttered: "I hope General Zixiao can succeed in the first battle!" ”

"Strategist, what do we do now? Offense? Xiahou Yuan asked.

Hu Zhao shook his head, "No! It is stupid to storm such a defensive line! Wait! Wait for the news of General Zixiao! ”

In the middle of the night that day, the lobby of the Khorezm Fortress was still brightly lit, and the general was thinking in front of the sand table.

At this moment, a subordinate general walked in.

"General, the Wei army has set up camp in the valley mouth in front!" The ministry will report.

Huang Wei raised his head and asked, "What is the situation with the forts at the foot of the mountains on the left and right?" ”

"The four fortresses in the foothills on the left and right have been lost one after another, and a total of 20,000 defenders have been wiped out!" The ministry general reported with a gloomy face.

Huang said: "It doesn't matter! The loss of these four fortresses will not have much impact on the situation of our army! ”

Huang stood up and thought, "I've thought about it!" The Wei army is different from ordinary armies, and must not be judged by common sense, and the defenders of Tony City must be warned to be on guard! (To be continued.) )
