Chapter 159: The Army's Mind Is Settled
Murong Chong stood on top of the city tower, the cold wind blew his white clothes, the blood stains on the clothes were not dry, but they did not change his straight waist. He looked at Fu Jian's army, with the contempt of a king in his proud eyes, and the murderous intent all over his body was everywhere, making people dare not approach.
Fu Jian lined up under the city, and Yang Ding couldn't help urging, "Your Majesty, quickly order the siege of the city!" ”
"We will be able to defeat the white captives today! If you are lucky, you can catch Murong Chong on the spot, and the crisis in Chang'an will be solved! ”
But Fu Jian looked at the Yan army who was waiting for him, but he hesitated a little.
"The high walls of the lonely Afang City are strong, and there are countless sharp arrows, there must be an ambush, once we enter, it is very likely that we will be captured on the spot!"
When Yang Ding heard this, he quickly knelt down and asked Zhandao again, "Your Majesty, this is just a trick by Murong Chong, and the minister guesses that there are just a bunch of wounded soldiers in the city, and it is not a climate!" ”
Yan Jun was beaten like a water dog just now, and even Murong Chong fled into the city in a panic, how could there be an ambush with a large army! If Murong Chong still had heavy troops, when the battle was fought just now, reinforcements would have already come to help!
But Fu Jian, don't dare to take this risk!
He is stationed in Chang'an, and he can still confront the Yan army, if he enters Afang today and is captured on the spot, then the Qin State will die!
"Yang Ding, as you said, it's a great success! No, the Qin State is dead! ”
"Today has been a big victory, it's better to accept it when you see it, you can't fall into Murong Chong's trap!"
Fu Jian then sounded the gold drum and withdrew his troops back.
"Your Majesty!" Yang Ding had no choice but to get on the horse, looked back at Ah Fang angrily, and lamented that the great opportunity was no longer lost!
He knew very well that the Qin army had missed a chance to turn defeat into victory, and even missed the best fighter for Great Qin to reverse his qi! Whether Murong Chong can be captured or not is not said for the time being, at least the hundreds of thousands of stones and grains in Afang City will definitely allow the Qin army to return with a full load.
Seeing Fu Jian retreating, Murong Chong couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. In fact, now there are only wounded soldiers and remnants left in Afang City, once the Qin army attacks, it will not be able to be defeated, and Afang will be broken.
Although Fu Jian did not attack Afang, he still captured more than 10,000 Xianbei soldiers and returned, killing them all.
After this battle, the Yan army can be said to have suffered a great injury, and Murong Chong couldn't help but feel a little jealous of Yang Ding, who was brave and good at fighting.

Another two months passed, and the Yan army reorganized its troops and horses, recuperated, and gradually recovered from the defeat in the west of the city.
The Yan army has been besieging Chang'an for almost a year, during which Yan and Qin have fought several times, and Fu Jian's tens of thousands of troops have died in battle, starved to death, and now there are only a few thousand remnants left, holding on with one breath.
The remaining Qin generals in Guanzhong could not bear to see the Qin State perish, so they formed an alliance with each other, risked difficulties to raise food several times, and traveled thousands of miles, but most of them were killed by Murong Chong's Yan army.
When Fu Jian heard about it in Chang'an, he was grief-stricken, and ordered to persuade the soldiers, "I heard that the people who came to help could not arrive smoothly. ”
"What good is it to follow each other into the mouth of the tiger!"
"You Cao Yi loves himself for the country, stores food and soldiers, and when the sky comes, there will be no end to the goodness, and there will be no time for Jitai to come!"
In 385 AD, in May, Murong Chong once again led a large army to launch a fierce attack on Chang'an, Fu Jian personally went to the city to supervise the battle, and was hit by several arrows, drenched in blood, if it were not for Yang Ding to pull him down, he would have died with the Yan army.
Fu Jian lay limply on the bed, blood flowing from his shoulders to between his fingers. The emperor's bright yellow robe was already stained with blood, and the dragon struggled in the river of blood and drowned in the river of blood.
He summoned Wang Jia, "Sir, I am outnumbered, what should I do if I am alone?" ”
In fact, he knew in his heart that it was the limit to be able to survive most of the year. The city is about to break, maybe at this time, he has no other way but to ask the heavens, the earth, the ghosts and gods.
"The emperor will come out of the five generals for a long time." Wang Jia only said seven words lightly.
"What does this mean, sir?" Fu Jian hurriedly asked.
"Don't leak too much, I hope Your Majesty will make your own decisions."
Five generals? Could it be Wujiang Mountain? Does God mean that I will be sent out of the city from Wujiang Mountain?
He summoned Yang Ding again and told him Wang Jia's suggestion.
"Your Majesty, the minister would rather die in battle than abandon the city!" Yang Ding said generously, intending to persuade Fu Jian not to abandon Chang'an.
"Yang Ding, I know that you are loyal, but we are now at the end of the strong crossbow, only by obeying the will of heaven, can Daqin have a glimmer of hope!"
Yang Ding saw that Fu Jian's heart was like ashes, and he retreated silently, but his firm eyes at this time revealed the iron bones of a military general.
The man is ambitious, but he dies first for the battlefield, and he doesn't want to be a veteran before the battle!
He wants to prove it to the King of Qin, to prove it to the Qin army, Chang'an can be defended, and Great Qin will not die!
After Yang Ding retreated, Fu Jian summoned the crown prince Fu Hong and said solemnly to him, "Tianqi may want to guide him out." Thou shalt be good at guarding the city, and do not compete with thieves for profit, but I shall go out to collect troops and transport grain to thee. ”
When Fu Hong heard this, he was a little stunned, his father went out of the city to escape for his life, but he left me and thousands of remnants to defend the city, Murong Chong's Yan army was so strong, didn't this make me sit in the city and wait for death!
My father said it nicely, after leaving the city, I recruited troops to raise food to help me, but it is estimated that before I could wait for reinforcements, I would have died in Chang'an City first!
Fu Hong said yes again and again on the surface, but he made other preparations in his heart.

In Afang City, Yanying set up fire drums at night to illuminate the heavens and the earth, and every moment was a psychological deterrent to the remnants of Chang'an City.
"Do you know what Gu thinks at this time?" Murong Chong looked in the direction of Chang'an and took a sip of the spirit.
Murong Yong thought for a moment and replied, "Your Majesty is thinking that sooner or later Chang'an will fall into our hands. ”
Murong Chong's reuse of Murong Yong now is no less than his reliance on Gao Gai back then.
Duan Sui and Han Yan's power is increasing day by day, and it has become a big trend, and he must re-promote new generals to check and balance.
Murong Yong is brave, and he is a member of the Murong family, so he is much closer than people with foreign surnames.
Murong Chong shook his head, "Definitely." ”
Murong Yong paused, and then said, "Your Majesty, are you worried about Yang Ding's bravery?" ”
"In the end, it is a lonely general, and you can see the crux of the problem at a glance." At this time, Murong Chong nodded with satisfaction, "The breakthrough of Chang'an will only take a few days, but I don't want to suffer heavy casualties." If we fight to the death with Yang Ding, it is inevitable that our army will be killed and wounded. At that time, even if we capture Chang'an, we will also be greatly injured, and we will make a cheap profit, but it will be Murong Chui's Houyan. ”
When Murong Yong heard this, he smiled confidently on the spot, and stepped forward to offer a plan, "Your Majesty, why worry about it, the minister has a plan, and Yang Ding can be captured." ”
It seemed that he had already thought of the answer to this question.
In the early morning of the next day, the clouds did not open, and the dull wind blew straight from Chang'an to Guanzhong.
Without Fu Jian's permission, Yang Ding led his troops out of the city without authorization, wanting to surprise the Yan army.
