Chapter 500: The army is in danger in the west

In Gaochang City, Yao Ruoyu and the Western Liao monarchs stood at the head of the city together, looking at the military camp that stretched for dozens of miles in the distance, and seeing the almost countless flags under the night, Yao Ruoyu's face was extremely solemn.

Catching a glimpse of his expression, Xiao Xuan sneered: "What's the matter, the dignified Wen King will also be afraid?"

Yao Ruoyu glanced at her and said lightly: "I'm not the Emperor of the Eight Realms, but a small Six Realms Sect Marshal, why can't I be afraid?"

"Presumptuous!" Han Derang's face sank when he heard this, and he shouted, "Dare to be disrespectful to the Queen Mother......"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Sui had already smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay." ”

Yao Ruoyu leaned against the wall with his elbows, looking out thoughtfully, when Wenbangxi conquered Sichuan and Shu, there were three large-scale battles, Wusheng City, Longmen Town, Chengdu Mansion, among which the largest number of people in the battle was the Battle of Longmen Town, there were more than 200,000 on the Jin side alone, and the difference between the Jin army outside the city today was only 40,000 or 50,000.

However, at that time, the army of the Jin Kingdom was just a coalition army of various cities, mostly miscellaneous soldiers with the perfection of the second realm, and few hierarchical armies with the basic three realms as pawns, but what kind of army is it outside the city now?

The Sand Demon Army, the Fierce Crocodile Army, and the Dreadclaw Army are all prefecture-level armies of the four basic realms, and the rest of the armies are also elite troops stationed near Lanzhou City all year round, all of them are level-level armies of the three basic realms, such a military strength, even if the number of people is about the same as the Jin army in Longmen Town, but the combat power is not only five times different?

He was walking on his side, and the people of Xiliao over there had already discussed a strategy against the enemy, and Chen Weijia, who had just reorganized the army, hurried over, and Han Derang asked: "Marshal Chen, how many soldiers and horses are there in my city now?"

His eyes sank, and Chen Weijia said solemnly: "At present, there are 80,000 troops, 30,000 cavalry troops, and 50,000 infantry troops. ”

The enemy army outside the city was full of 2560,000 people, but there were only 80,000 in the city, even if it had the advantage of the city wall, but in the face of the Seven Realms, this was just an ordinary city wall made of earth and stone.

Seeing that the morale was low, Chen Weijia said in a deep voice: "Even if there are only 80,000 troops left, Ben Shuai is also confident that it will be difficult for the gold thief to cross the defense line by half a step, and I hope the Queen Mother can rest assured." ”

"I'm naturally relieved of you," Xiao Xuan smiled lightly, glanced out of the city, and suddenly asked, "Does Marshal Chen have a strategy to retreat from the enemy?"

Retreating from the enemy rather than defeating the enemy, obviously even with Xiao Xuan's open-minded optimism, he was not optimistic that Chen Weijia would be able to defeat the Jin army, and lowered the bottom line to the simplest retreat.

Chen Weijia bowed his head lightly, ordered someone to present the map, and said in a deep voice: "My Western Regions have a vast territory, food and drinking water are extremely scarce, and the Jin State claims to have an army of 300,000, but with so many soldiers and horses, the daily consumption is an astronomical amount, even if they bring enough supplies at the limit, they will last for half a month at most." ”

"Among the previous cavalry, in addition to raiding and exploring, one-third of them were in the fortified and clear fields, and the Jin Kingdom definitely couldn't collect any water and food along the way," Chen Weijia said solemnly after continuously scribbling on the map: "According to the information collected by the scouts sent before, the current Jin army will hold out for five days at most, and then it will fall into the point of running out of ammunition and food." ”

Han Derang stared at the map and realized: "So the marshal means that he intends to hold on to it until they run out of baggage?"

Obviously hesitating, Chen Weijia pursed his lips and was silent for a moment before he said: "If it is possible, this commander intends to wait for his work, and when the morale of the Jin soldiers is low and the morale of the soldiers is fluctuating, he will take advantage of the victory to pursue, and there is a great chance that he will be able to annihilate them all." ”

"It's too dangerous!" a city lord shook his head and persuaded, "After all, there are more than 200,000 troops in the Jin Kingdom, and we are only 80,000, even if we wait until the fifth day, we will lose a lot during this period, and the pursuit is too dangerous, anyway, they all retreated, so let them leave." ”

The other person also nodded again and again: "Yes, the news of their attack on us will definitely not be hidden for long, and when the Great Song and Wenbang launch an attack, the Jin people themselves will leave, so why bother to pursue them?"

"If the pursuit angers the Jinren, they will force a counterattack directly regardless of other things, and we will definitely lose a lot. ”

"That is to say, Marshal, think twice!"

For a while, all the city lords and nobles in the city spoke out against it, Yao Ruoyu watched for a while, and found that except for Xiao Xuan, who was silent, only Han De asked the regent to agree with Chen Weijia's idea.

Looking at the appearance of these people who were greedy for life and afraid of death, Yao Ruoyu suddenly recalled what Yelu Yushu had told him back then, why he didn't go to the Western Regions with Xiao Xuan and others.

These people are just fleeing bereaved dogs, without wolf nature, how can they talk about reviving Daliao?

Sighing, Yao Ruoyu shook his head gently, and suddenly he heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the city, turned his head to look, his face turned pale, and shouted: "There are golden people coming from outside the city." ”

Xiao Xuan, Chen Weijia, Han Derang and others were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly ran to the wall to look outside, and sure enough, they saw the three of them riding horses and galloping towards the city gate.

"Who's coming?" Han Derang looked at for a moment and opened his mouth to shout.

When the three horsemen heard this, their speed did not decrease, and they still galloped over until they came to a dozen feet outside the city.

At such a close distance, everyone could see the faces of the three of them clearly, on the left was a young man in a purple dress, on the right was a handsome young man with a face as delicate as a woman, and in the middle was a middle-aged burly man with a strong domineering aura all over his body.

Yao Ruoyu recognized the people on the left and right, it was Ding Yanzhi and Wanyan Diyi, but the person in the middle didn't recognize it.

However, after he looked at it carefully, he suddenly realized that although the man had a rough face and a burly body, his facial features were somewhat similar to Wanyan Emperor Yi and Wanyan Fuchan.

In fact, just as he expected, when he saw the middle-aged man's appearance clearly, Xiao Xuan's face couldn't help but sink, Han Derang and other Western Liao nobles were also fierce, one of them strode out of the ranks, and said solemnly: "Wanyan first, you dare to come alone, aren't you afraid that my Empress Dowager Daliao will kill you with her own hands?"

"First" and "Emperor" are homophonic, but Wanyan did not answer, on the contrary, the man in the middle slowly raised his head, and he didn't look at the person who spoke, just stared at Xiao Xuan, who was a young woman with a charming face, and said with a proud smile: "If Empress Dowager Xiao dares to make a move, I will admit it, but unfortunately Empress Dowager Xiao doesn't dare." ”

When everyone in Xiliao heard this, they changed color unconsciously, and they all scolded, only Xiao Xuan, Chen Weijia, and Han Derang had solemn faces, and the three people in the city were also expressionless, ignoring the insults of this group of people.

"Okay!" Xiao Yu thought for a moment, and suddenly raised his hand to stop everyone's scolding, his phoenix eyes were cold, and he said coldly, "Emperor Jin came to the city in person, and he didn't want to talk nonsense, what is the matter, just say it!"

"It's just that if you want my Xiliao to surrender, then please go back," when Wanyan was about to speak, Xiao Xuan continued, "My Xiliao people fled to Guanwai with nine deaths back then, just to find a place to live, I thought that it would have nothing to do with Dajin in the future, but I never thought that your country's weeding and eradication would be more than ten years late." ”

Han De made the tiger's eyes widen sharply, and said sharply: "I have already escaped once back then, and this time, I will never escape again!"

He and Xiao Sui are both iron-hearted, but unfortunately the other nobles and high-ranking people in the city are all staring away, obviously not as firm as the two of them.

At this time, Ding Yanzhi suddenly raised his head and said with a smile: "Could it be that Empress Dowager Xiao and Xiliao are waiting for Song Wen's reinforcements?"

Chen Weijia and the others were stunned when they heard this, and before they could speak, Ding Yanzhi just smiled and waved his hand behind him, and two flagpoles were suddenly erected in the military camp in the distance, and then two black shadows were slowly hoisted.

Because of the distance, many people couldn't see clearly what the black shadow was, but Yao Ruoyu, Xiao Xuan, Chen Weijia and others all changed their faces, and Han Derang twitched the corners of his eyes again and again, and his face was painful.

The two black shadows that were hung on the flagpole turned out to be Xiao Shihu and another Seven Realm master who went to the Great Song and Wenbang for help respectively, just by looking at the stiff and pale skin of the two, he knew that they had already died.

Ding Yanzhi clasped his sleeves with both hands and said with a smile: "This time, my Dajin elite will go all out to attack Liao, and the elite of the Mandala organization will completely block the entire Gansu. ”

Chen Weijia suddenly stepped out of the crowd and said sharply: "Even if there are no reinforcements, with me, you don't want to step into my Gaochang City for half a step!"

"Your Excellency is the military god Chen Weijia?" Seeing the green-armored beauty, Emperor Wanyan's eyes revealed a bit of fieryness, and he said with a smile, "I have heard the name for many years, and I hope that in the next few days, I will be able to understand the military god's means of commanding the army." ”

Chen Weijia glanced at him and ignored it, and Emperor Wanyan grinned and didn't care.

Wan Yan slowly let out a breath of warm mist, and raised his hand just like Ding Yanzhi just now, and there were bursts of crying in the rear barracks, and then he saw a large number of Jin soldiers wearing strong and stubborn clothes, escorting a large number of men and women in sackcloth clothes pouring out of the barracks.

Seeing this scene, Yao Ruoyu's eyes jumped slightly, if he didn't guess wrong, these should be the Liao people living in the Yizhou defense line.

Looking at the past from the top of the city, it only takes a rough count to roughly judge the number of these Xiliao people, there are about thousands of people, men, women and children, they are surrounded by 2,000 gold soldiers, and they are escorted all the way behind the first three people of Wanyan.

"My Dajin Baggage will last for five days at most, so I will not be polite with the Queen Mother, from tomorrow, in the siege of the city within five days, if my Dajin kills a soldier, I will kill one of your people in Xiliao, if I break a general, I will kill ten people, these people are killed, I will go to the vicinity to catch and continue to kill, and kill until you surrender, or we break the city. ”

Hearing his extremely vicious threat, Xiao Xuanqi's delicate body trembled slightly, Han Derang and the others were also extremely anxious, and many people directly scolded, and the scolding was also extremely vicious.

Seeing the indignant appearance of everyone in the city, Ding Yanzhi suddenly laughed loudly: "I heard that before Liao Jingzong died in the past, he asked Empress Dowager Xiao to protect the people of Liao, so today, I don't know if the Empress Dowager wants to violate Liao Jingzong's will, or plans to save these Liao people?"

Yao Ruoyu, who was standing in the corner, sighed in his heart, Ding Yanzhi is strong in borrowing strength, but he is also quite good at targeting people's hearts, and these words are undoubtedly based on the entrustment of Liao Jingzong in the past to force Xiao Xuan to make a decision.

Wan Yan waited for a while, and seeing that Xiao Xuan did not react, he smiled and said: "Empress Dowager Xiao rest assured, if Xiliao surrenders, Na Er and the others will naturally be my Dajin people, and I will naturally not hurt them again, but I need the life of a Liao person." ”

"Whose life do you want?" Han Derang shouted angrily.

Wan Yan smiled faintly, and said loudly: "Who I want, Empress Dowager Xiao must have guessed it, right?"

Chen Weijia drew his sword angrily and said coldly: "With me waiting, you don't want to hurt the queen mother!"

Wan Yan laughed for the first time, and didn't pay attention to her, but just smiled with Xiao Yulang: "I give the Empress Dowager Xiao two days, and after two days, I will start to attack the city, I hope that the Empress Dowager will not disappoint me at that time." With that, he directly waved his hand, turned around with Ding Yanzhi and Emperor Wanyan, and returned to the Jin army camp with two thousand Jin soldiers and thousands of Liao prisoners in the rear.
