The palace maids and attendants of Cining Palace have all changed, and even Aunt Chunxi next to the Queen Mother is gone, which is a one-night affair in the harem.

Only the concubines of the harem are a little puzzled about such a thing, and the officials of the front court will not care.

Zuo Liangzhe, Wei Yanqing, Zheng Diheng, and other officials were anxiously pacing in the official office of the military department, discussing ways to deal with the enemy.

Jiang Bowen's Longyouwei originally had 200,000 people, but when he passed through the Guannei Road, he only lost 10,000 or 20,000 people. The strength of the Longyou Guard is still more than that of the Jin Wuwei and reinforcements.

Winning more with less, fighting strong with weak, is really a test of the will of the main general, especially in the imperial capital, it is also related to the safety of the palace master, and there are even more concerns!

"The crossbow beds are ready! The bows and crossbows of the Crossbow Workshop were sufficient, and the people were much quieter, and they didn't think about going out of the city anymore. ”

Zheng Diheng said. Of course, the people will not think about going out of the city gate again, and now there are rebels at the foot of the mountain, and if they go out, it will be a dead end.

In Wei Yanqing's mind, it is actually possible to keep Jingzhao.

Although the total number of Jin Wuwei and reinforcements is only 110,000, Jingzhao is the imperial capital, not to mention the solidity of the city walls and fortresses, and there are many high-rise buildings in the city, which can be used to defeat the enemy. The erection of bows and crossbows in these areas is the best protection.

There is also the equipment set up by the Jingzhao soldiers in the moat, and it is very cold at this time, but the Longyou guard is from afar, and the grain and grass are limited. Long Youwei wants to break through Jingzhao, it is not so easy to do.

Originally, the mountain col is the most suitable protection, and it should also be the first protection. But something like Qinling happened, and Wei Yanqing, for the sake of prudence, even withdrew the generals from other mountains.

Now, there is only a real fight with Long Youwei. As long as the soldiers are properly arranged and the bows and crossbows are sufficient, he will definitely take the Jin Wuwei to guard Jingzhao!

Wei Yanqing is confident, but Zuo Liangzhe has no bottom in his heart. The strength of the Long Right Guard is really more than them; And they fought bloodily all the way, just like killing gods. A son of Jin Wuwei's family. Can you handle it?

"General, what are the odds?" Zuo Liangzhe couldn't help but ask. The dispatch of troops will be Wei Yanqing's words, and he, the minister of Tuogu, is participating in the supervision on the side. But I felt very conscious that I didn't interfere much.

Zuo Liangzhe knew that only if Jingzhao held on, he, the minister of Tuogu, could continue. If the Dayong Dynasty is gone, there will be nothing!

"Half and half, everyone does their best!" Wei Yanqing glanced at Zuo Liangzhe and said. If you want to win a battle, the right time, place and people are indispensable, who dares to be sure of winning or losing?

This answer obviously could not satisfy Zuo Liangzhe. He moved his lips, but didn't say anything more.

"As soon as the snow stopped. It is estimated that the right guard of Long will attack the city. Zheng Diheng said with a frown.

The cold winter is not the time to attack the city, and Jiang Bowen came to Jingzhao at this time, which is also a last resort. If you wait until next spring, the soldiers of Jiangnan Wei and Hanoi Wei. Maybe it will be enough, the turmoil has subsided, Jiang Bowen will attack Jingzhao again, where is there any hope of victory?

Jiang Bowen wanted to take advantage of the turmoil in Hanoi Province and the fact that the rest of the guards could not come to Jingzhao to rescue and capture Jingzhao. Despite the cold weather, he also had to garrison troops outside Jingzhao City.

Think of it this way. Zheng Diheng's brows stretched a little. Thinking about it, Jingzhao's situation has not been unstoppable.

Jiang Bowen, who was outside Jingzhao City, looked not much easier at this time. The weather was very cold, and in such a situation, the odds of attacking the city were already discounted, and it was Jingzhao who was attacked. It's even more difficult.

"King, that mysterious man has sent us a bamboo tube again!"

Thinking like this, the deputy general Sheng Ziheng came to report with a happy face.

Just now, the soldiers of Longyouwei found a carrier pigeon parked on the camp tent and took a look. Sure enough, it was exactly the same bamboo tube as before.

Sheng Ziheng didn't know the situation of martial law in Jingzhao, how could there be carrier pigeons flying out. He knew that the news sent by this bamboo tube would definitely help Long Youwei, so he would be overjoyed.

With the help of Xiyan, it will be easier for the king to attack the city. These people, the marquis of the land is not far away!

Jiang Bowen looked at the bamboo tube carefully before disassembling it. This time, it was not a defense map, but a small note that read: Siege in three days.

Siege in three days? What is the purpose of Xiyan meticulously letting the soldiers of Longyouwei attack the city three days later? Is there any trick that won't work out in three days?

"What do you think, King?" Sheng Ziheng also saw these words. His mind was up and down, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

At this time, the heavy snow had stopped, the cold weather was clear, and Jiang Bowen originally planned to attack the city tomorrow. But now that he received Xiyan's words, he couldn't help but hesitate.

Do you really want to do what Xiyan said carefully, and only attack the city after three days? Three days later, will something happen to Jingzhao City? This time, Xiyan is trustworthy or not?

Jiang Bowen took the thin note and suddenly felt that his hand weighed a thousand pounds. Previously, he believed in the matter of the deployment map, because to listen to the reality of these deployments, 350,000 people were enough, but now it is a siege battle, it is 180,000 soldiers, and the risk is too great!

"King, what are the chances of winning tomorrow?" Another lieutenant asked. When to attack such a major matter, Jiang Bowen of course had to gather his confidants and cronies to come and discuss.

What are the chances of winning tomorrow's siege? Hearing his subordinates ask this, Jiang Bowen knew in his heart what to choose.

Tomorrow's siege of the city will definitely encounter desperate resistance from Jin Wuwei, Jingzhao's guards are first-class, and the two sides will definitely be evenly matched. If there are no surprises, the odds are half and half.

Since Long Youwei is stationed outside Jingzhao City, he is not afraid of where the people in Jingzhao City will go. Besides, it is not impossible to let the generals rest for three more days.

Perhaps, in three days, something will help Long Youwei win in one fell swoop?

"Spread the king's will, the army will rest, and the city will be attacked in three days!"

Jiang Bowen ordered, choosing to believe in the content of the bamboo tube. If the Longyou guard attacks the city three days later, there will be no loss. He wanted to see what would happen in three days.

What information Jiang Bowen received, Zuo Liangzhe and others from the official office of the Jingzhao Military Department did not know. Seeing that the heavy snow had stopped and the sky was rarely clear, Wei Yanqing ordered all the soldiers in the city to prepare for battle.

When the sky is clear, Long Youwei will definitely take the opportunity to attack the city, and the time for a death battle is coming.

However, outside Jingzhao City, there was calm. The tents of Long Youwei's camp did not make much noise, and even at lunchtime, wisps of cooking smoke floated from the camp tent.

Long Youwei buried the pot to cook, and there was no plan to attack the city at all! How so?

When Wei Yanqing heard the scout's report, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart. The sky is clear, it is the most appropriate time for Long Youwei, how could Jiang Bowen not move?

Until it was dark, Long Youwei was still very calm, and he didn't even practice. When the Jingzhao soldiers were still on full alert, the lights in the tent of the Longyouwei camp gradually went out, and it seemed that the Longyouwei fell asleep peacefully.

Such a day made Wei Yanqing unbelievable. How could Long Youwei not move? I heard the scout report that Long Youwei was already mobilizing, why did he stop? What tricks does Jiang Bowen have?

Wei Yanqing didn't dare to relax, and still ordered the soldiers to prepare for battle, in case the Longyou guard suddenly attacked the city. However, another day passed, and Long Youwei still did not move.

On the third day, although Wei Yanqing still ordered the soldiers to get ready, the soldiers gradually relaxed. They crouched down and stared outside the city for two or three days, but they waited for nothing.

"This is really strange, what is Jiang Bowen thinking?" After two days of free stay, Jiang Bowen remained motionless. This made Wei Yanqing vigilant, what did Jiang Bowen seem to be waiting for?

Could it be that Jiang Bowen got some news from Jing Zhao's fine work and what time was he waiting for? What can help Long's right guard win?

Troops, protection, food, bows, and crossbows...... Bow and crossbow, crossbow shop! Wei Yanqing's eyes lit up, and he caught the thoughts that flashed in his heart. If Jiang Bowen has a plan, these things must be indispensable, especially the Crossbow Workshop Department!

Because of the first three aspects, it is not easy to do tricks and feet at all, only the guards of the Crossbow Workshop Department are relatively weak!

"Come on! Go to the Crossbow Workshop ...... immediately" Wei Yanqing summoned the deputy general and instructed him to take Jin Wuwei to the Crossbow Workshop in Dongshi.

Before Wei Yanqing's orders were finished, Zheng Diheng rushed in, his face extremely ugly, as if something big had happened.

"Crossbow Department, it's on fire!" Zheng Diheng gritted his teeth and said.

The soldiers have rushed to the crossbow workshop to put out the fire, the fire in the crossbow workshop is fierce, and I don't know if the bows and crossbows stored there can be rescued!

"Report! The right guard of Long has begun to attack the city! In the official office, a few more soldiers rushed in and reported to Wei Yanqing about the situation outside Jingzhao City.

Wei Yanqing hadn't finished digesting Zheng Diheng's words, and he heard the soldier's report, and his face became even more ugly.

"Defend with all your might! As for the Crossbow Workshop Department, we will do our best to put out the fire......"

Wei Yanqing knew what Jiang Bowen was waiting for at this time, he was waiting for the fire in the Crossbow Workshop Department! The fire of the Crossbow Workshop Department burned the bow and crossbow weapons, and caused the turmoil in Jingzhao, and the hearts of the people and the army will definitely be shaken!

Jiang Bowen attacked at this time, and the odds of winning were much greater!

The sky-high fire of the Crossbow Fang Department was naturally seen by Long Youwei outside Jingzhao City. The sky was filled with fire, smoke, and even the smell of burning at the foot of Besan Mountain.

"God help me! Attack with all your might! Be sure to capture Jingzhao! ”

Jiang Bowen pulled out the golden sword and pointed at Jingzhaocheng from afar, and the momentum of the attack immediately infected the generals of Longyouwei.

"Rush!" After Jiang Bowen pointed at the sword, the Longyou guard general roared out, and the soldiers rushed towards the Jingzhao City Gate like a tide.

The momentum of the Longyou Guard soldiers made the Jin Wuwei on the Jingzhao City Wall shudder, and their bent bodies were also a little hard, and they suddenly felt that the triggers of the crossbow beds guarding the city were a little tight.

Another life-and-death battle began. One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, and one city will survive, and the same is true.
