111 The prince of the Southern Wei Dynasty
The brutal siege battle lasted from early morning to night, and the dead bodies were everywhere outside the city, and the battle was raging.
It was getting dark, but the battle continued, both in the city and outside the city were lit with torches, the whole battlefield was sparked, the bluestone city wall reflected a large area of fiery red under the firelight, it was particularly blazing, in the beating flames and splashing blood, the soldiers on both sides were more like mad beasts, roaring, fighting......
Ten miles outside the city, among the commanders of the Chinese army of the Southern Wei State, Cao Yuanhua, the prince of the Southern Wei State, who was the former enemy commander, had a pale-faced face and was discussing the siege of the city with his generals.
"Your Highness, this Yanjing City is really difficult to capture, and the five thousand heavily armored soldiers under my command have already suffered more than half of the casualties, and they are exhausted, can you rest overnight and fight again tomorrow?" Li Xin, the former military captain in bronze armor, stepped forward, intervened in the salute, and said loudly.
Cao Yuanhua didn't say a word, he sat on the handsome tiger skin chair, and his cold eyes swept to the other generals standing on both sides.
"Your Highness, the 80,000 heavy armored cavalry of the last general has already damaged more than 20,000 today. The reason why the capital of this Great Xia Kingdom is called Yanjing is because of the hundreds of huge cannons on the head of the city, which are extremely powerful, and it is not easy to capture this city. It is better for our army to withdraw for the time being, avoid its edge, and trap the Yanjing City to death, 200,000 troops and millions of people in the city, eating and drinking is a big problem, within three months, the city will run out of food, and then the city will definitely be broken without attack. The heavy cavalry general Li Youqi stepped forward and said what he thought.
"You mean we're going to step back?" The crown prince Cao Yuanhua's voice was cold, and he asked in a low voice.
"Judging from the current situation, it must be like this, otherwise even if our army can break through the city, it will definitely suffer heavy casualties, and His Royal Highness Wanwang ......"
"Poofโ"
Before Li Youqi's words were finished, Cao Yuanhua was already furious, and with a flick of his right hand, an extremely bright light flew out, piercing the neck of the heavy cavalry general, and the dead body fell to the ground, and a large amount of blood immediately appeared on the ground.
The light shot back, and in Cao Yuanhua's hand, it was actually a flying sword with cold light.
All the generals present had a palpitation, and before they could see what the light was, Li Youqi had already fallen to the ground and died, and he didn't let out half a scream until he died.
Li Xin, the former infantry lieutenant of the army, was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a thud, kowtowing like pounding garlic, "Your Highness spares your life, Your Highness spares your life!" โ
"Smack!"
Cao Yuanhua stood up with a slap on the table, pointed at the generals, and said, "If there is a person who retreats, he will be punished with Li Youqi!" This prince wants to break through the Yanjing City tonight, and if he is afraid of death, I will punish him! โ
"Obey His Royal Highness's military orders, fight to the death and not retreat, and break the city tonight!"
Yuanmu, the general of the light armor foot soldier, was the best at seeing the prince's face, and at this time he shouted, showing his courage, and he had the intention of charging and swearing to die.
"Fight to the death and don't retreat, Break the Sound City tonight!"
The other generals echoed, for fear that it would be unclear how to die if they were half a minute slower.
"Good! Wang Mo, the deputy general of the heavy armored army, you received Li Youqi to take charge of the heavy armored cavalry, and the prince handed over to you the five hundred elephant cavalry of the Weiman Kingdom that had just been transferred, and you quickly broke through the city gate and entered the Yanjing city. โ
Cao Yuanhua took out a copy of the order and threw it on the ground.
Wang Mo stepped forward from the queue, knelt down on one knee, picked up the order plate, and shouted, "The last general will be ordered!" He flicked his robe and turned out.
"You must mobilize your troops and attack the city with all your might, and there must be no mistake!"
Cao Yuanhua's face was slightly bright, and he commanded sharply to the generals.
"Yes!"
The generals shouted in unison, turned around and left the Chinese army's tent.
