Chapter 408: Surrender
Nan Baitian said: "But your Western Qin League has always refused to listen to our orders, so what's the use of us saving you?"
The candidate said: "We fought with Xiao Yao this time, and our vitality was greatly damaged, and we were no longer able to resist you. Send your troops, and we will definitely obey your orders in the future. ”
Nan Baitian pondered for a while and said, "Okay, I can send troops." But you don't have to send protons to the court in the future. ”
The candidates listened, and some were reluctant.
But the situation was no longer his turn, and he said, "Okay, I promise you." ”
Nan Baitian said: "Well, then we are ready to send troops." ”
The candidate said, "Okay, please send troops as soon as possible." ”
Nan Baitian had already prepared for the dispatch of troops. Not only did he prepare his own army, but he also contacted other city lords.
At the sound of an order, he sent an army of 200,000, known as an army of 500,000, and marched towards Chang'an City, preparing to wipe out Xiao Yao's army in one fell swoop.
The news of Tiannanguo's dispatch of troops soon reached Xiao Yao's ears.
He knew that if he didn't take Chang'an City as soon as possible, then he would have to suffer from the enemy on his back, and he might be defeated.
He ordered the army to attack the city day and night, wanting to take Chang'an City before the soldiers of Tiannan Kingdom arrived.
But Chang'an City was so strong that even if he tried his best to attack, it would be to no avail, and he was all beaten back.
Seeing that the soldiers of Tiannan Kingdom were getting closer and closer, and it was no longer possible to take Chang'an before the soldiers of Tiannan Kingdom arrived, Xiao Yao could only gather everyone and hold a meeting to discuss countermeasures.
Xiao Yao said: "Now that the soldiers and horses of Tiannan Kingdom are about to be killed, what do you think?"
Du Tao said: "I think it's better to withdraw." They are flanking together with the Western Qin Alliance, and we are only afraid that we will die without a place to be buried. ”
Du Qiangrose shook her head and said, "No, I don't think it's a good idea to withdraw from the army. As long as we dare to withdraw our troops, we will surely make our allies think that we are no match for Tiannan, and they will betray us to join the crusade army, and we will only be worse when the time comes. ”
Ye Ling nodded and said, "Yes, there is no choice now, you can only advance and not retreat." ”
Du Tao said, "Oh, what are your plans?"
Xiao Yao said: "I feel that there is only one way, and that is to resist. ”
Du Tao said: "But they will cross the river from Fengling, how can we resist?"
Xiao Yao said: "Then we will send troops to guard Tongguan and take Fenglingdu." ”
Yun Feixia said: "We don't have many soldiers, and if we divide our troops to fight Fenglingdu, can we hold it?"
Ye Ling said: "I think I can hold it. Because although the soldiers and horses of the southern kingdom arrived that day, they would never attack at the first time. We only need to use a small number of soldiers and horses to defend Tongguan. ”
Du Tao said: "Why is this?"
Ye Ling said: "Tiannan Kingdom wants to borrow us and the Western Qin Alliance to kill each other, and then clean us up. Now that the Western Qin Alliance has not been damaged, how can it attack immediately?"
Xiao Yao said: "Okay, your analysis is reasonable. We will attack Fenglingdu first to block the connection between the Western Qin League and the Tiannan Kingdom. ”
Xiao Yao sent half of the army to defend Chang'an City, the remaining half of the army went to attack Fenglingdu, and the rest went to guard Tongguan.
Sure enough, Nan Baitian led the army to the city of Tongguan, and did not rush to attack, but ordered the army to rest on the spot under the pretext of insufficient grain and grass.
During this time, Xiao Yao sent troops to take Fenglingdu, preventing the possibility of Tiannan's reinforcements crossing the river from Fenglingdu, and then came to Tongguan, preparing to defeat Tiannan's army in one fell swoop.
The army of Tiannan Kingdom, a full 200,000, was encamped in front of Tongguan.
Although there is a natural risk in Tongguan, Xiao Yao also knows that in front of absolute strength, this geographical advantage is useless.
As long as the army of Tiannan Kingdom continued to attack day and night, Tongguan could be defeated.
Therefore, Xiao Yao knew that he had to find a way to combat the sharpness of the soldiers of Tiannan Kingdom, and he couldn't let them be arrogant.
Xiao Yao gathered everyone together and said, "Everyone, I think we have to fight their sharpness. ”
Yun Feixia said, "How can we fight their sharpness?"
Xiao Yao said, "Let's go to rob the camp tonight." ”
Yun Feixia said: "Robbery, okay." I'm itching on my forehand. ”
Xiao Yao said: "Well, then let's go together." ”
Xiao Yao lit up a thousand soldiers and horses and said, "You are ambushed on the side of the road, and I will lead five soldiers and horses to rob the camp." ”
Ye Ling said: "Five people, won't that be dangerous?"
Xiao Yao said: "Don't worry, we are all masters, come and go freely, and we will be fine." ”
Ye Ling said, "Okay. Then go for it. ”
Xiao Yao said: "Okay, you are listening to the order, and when I have the order, you are attacking." ”
"Okay. ”
The people took the command and departed.
Xiao Yao took five people and sneaked into the barracks at night, and they launched a massacre, which instantly ignited a raging fire in the barracks.
"There's a fire, there's a fire, put out the fire. ”
"There are spies, there are spies, catch the spies. ”
There was chaos in the barracks, some people put out the fire, and some people came to chase and kill Xiao Yao.
Soon, an army rushed out of the barracks and rushed towards Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao watched the army coming, and felt that the problem was a little serious.
He said, "Withdraw!"
Xiao Yao and the others retreated and disappeared into the darkness.
The army looked at Xiao Yao and the others, and they actually rushed to make trouble, where were they willing to give up, they rode horses and rushed towards Xiao Yao.
chased a cup of tea, but none of them caught up with Xiao Yao.
Someone said to the captain: "Sir, I think there is a conspiracy here, how dare the five of them come to attack? I think this is a conspiracy, there must be an ambush." ”
"Yes, we can't chase anymore. ”
Xiao Yao saw that they stopped chasing them, and said loudly: "I'm Xiao Yao, if you want to get a bounty, come and chase me." ”
"He is Xiao Yao, if we grasp him well, he will be developed. ”
"Yes, we arrested him, and promotion and fortune are indispensable. ”
Everyone couldn't help but be happy when they heard that the person in front of them was Xiao Yao.
They rode their horses and chased after them.
Xiao Yao watched them chase after them and began to run as well.
stopped and stopped, and soon came to the place where Xiao Yao was ambushed.
Xiao Yao watched them all enter the ambush circle and gave a signal.
In an instant, the ambush man rushed out and killed the person who rushed over.
The group of pursuers did not expect that there would be an ambush, and they were disrupted in an instant.
Xiao Yao watched them kill them and said, "Chong. ”
He led the army, chopping melons and vegetables, and defeated the soldiers.
In an instant, all the soldiers were wiped out by Xiao Yaoyan.
They were dead and wounded, and the rest surrendered, and the five thousand soldiers and horses were gone in an instant.
When Nan Baitian learned about the loss of 5,000 soldiers and horses the next day, his face turned pale with fright.
He said: "Five thousand soldiers and horses, this loss is a bit big. ”
The candidate said: "Yes, that Xiao Yao's soldiers and horses are too powerful, we robbed the camp last night and lost 5,000 troops." ”
Nan Baitian said: "Then what should we do?"
The candidate said, "Let's attack and defeat them all." ”
Nan Baitian shook his head and said, "No." We just lost for a while, morale was low, it was not easy to fight. ”
The candidate said, "Yes, too. We must be careful. ”
Nan Baitian said: "It seems that this Xiao Yao is so powerful, we have to think about it in the long run." ”
The candidate said: "But Chang'an City is very dangerous now, and if we don't attack, we may die." ”
Nan Baitian said: "Don't worry, they won't attack." Let's wait. ”
Although the candidate is in a hurry at the moment, there is no way.
Because he saw that Nan Baitian wanted to let the Western Qin League and Xiao Yao lose both before making a move.
Sure enough, for the next time, Nan Baitian was paddling, and Bin didn't show any signs of active attack.
And in Chang'an City, under Xiao Yao's attack, there were heavy losses.
What's more, due to food shortages, many people are planning to defect.
Grabbing food has become the most important task.
Zhang Chao said: "Now that the grain in Chang'an City is more and more burned, they will definitely transfer grain from other places." If we can rob all the food, Chang'an City will collapse without a fight. ”
Xiao Yao said: "It's important. So what do we do?"
Zhang Chao said: "If they want to transport grain to Chang'an City, they must pass through the Wei River. If we set up an ambush in Weiqiao, we will be able to grab the grain. ”
Xiao Yao said: "That's it. Then let's go to the ambush. ”
Zhang Chao said: "Well, let's go." ”
Xiao Yao and others led 5,000 troops to the Weiqiao.
The Wei Bridge is a passage connecting Chang'an City to the northwest.
Through this, customers also establish contact with the cities of the Northeast.
The supply of Chang'an City also relied on those northeastern cities to replenish.
After Xiao Yao and the others were ambushed, they waited for two days and finally waited for the grain transportation team.
They led the army, rushed out, and killed the past.
The grain convoy saw someone in ambush and was frightened.
The leading general is called Yang Qiu.
He said, "Who are you? Why do you want to intercept the grain of our Western Qin League?"
Xiao Yao said: "My name is Xiao Yao, and I have already laid a net here. Surrender quickly, or you will die of starvation. ”
Zhang Chao came and said, "Yes, now that the Western Qin League has lost, you should surrender quickly." ”
Yang Qiu said: "How do you know that we have lost? Now that the reinforcements from the Tiannan Kingdom have come, you can only wait for death." ”
Xiao Yao said: "The reinforcements of Tiannan Kingdom are really helping you? Don't you see, are they all grinding foreign workers?"
Yang Qiu said: "Even if they grind foreign workers, they are still fighting." ”
Xiao Yao said: "I don't feel like that's the case. Think about it, does the Tiannan Kingdom really want your Western Qin Alliance to exist?"
Yang Qiu said: "Of course I don't like it. ”
Xiao Yao said: "That's right. Now they're waiting for us to lose both. Only if you defeat them, they will send troops. ”
Yang Qiu said: "But you are also going to be defeated." ”
Xiao Yao said: "So I propose that you cooperate with us." I promise that after defeating the Tiannan Kingdom, your position will not change. ”
Yang Qiu thought for a while and said, "No, it's not enough. I want two cities. ”
Xiao Yao thought for a while and said, "No problem. Then you'll have two cities. ”
Yang Qiu said, "Okay, thank you." ”
Xiao Yao said: "You're welcome. ”
Yang Qiu said: "Okay, then I'll transport the grain to you." ”
Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "No, there is no point in giving it to us. I want you to poison this food so that the soldiers can go out and fight. ”
Yang Qiu said: "This is a very dangerous thing. ”
Xiao Yao said: "It's okay, I'll accompany you to do it." If anything happens to you. I'm not immune. ”
Yang Qiu thought for a while and said, "Are you really going with me?"
Xiao Yao nodded and said, "Yes." I also have a plan, let's send 500 men into it, so that we can defeat them by attacking them from the inside and outside. ”
Yang Qiu nodded and said, "Okay." ”
Xiao Yao said: "Okay, then so be it." I'm ready to go. ”
Xiao Yao ordered five hundred people, pretended to be Yang Qiu's subordinates, and came to Chang'an City.
Li Dong couldn't help but be a little happy when he saw Yang Qiu carrying grain and grass over.
Chang'an City is experiencing a food shortage. This food came at a good time.
Li Dong said: "Yang Qiu, thank you. The food you brought saved us. ”
Yang Qiu said lightly: "You're welcome, this is what I should do." ”
Li Dong said: "Okay, then thank you." Seeing that you are so powerful, it is better to promote you to be a transshipment envoy, who is responsible for grain and grass. ”
Yang Qiu arched his hand at Li Dong and said, "Thank you, Alliance Leader." ”
Li Dong said: "Okay, you go down and rest first." ”
Yang Qiu said: "Alliance leader, now that the soldiers of the Tiannan Kingdom are here, should we launch an attack and flank Xiao Yao?"
Li Dong shook his head and said, "Nan Baitian, that old fox, just thought that we would attack first." If we attack first, won't we let them succeed?"
Yang Qiu said: "But someone has to sacrifice." Are we just going to sit back and wait?"
Li Dong glared at Yang Qiu and said, "You want to sacrifice, I'll send your army to take the lead, okay?"
When Yang Qiu heard this, he hurriedly said, "No, I'm afraid I won't be able to take on this important responsibility." ”
Li Dong said: "It's good to know." Don't say anything about the attack, just take care of the food and grass. That Nanbai Tianlao fox wants me and Brother Xiao Yao to lose both, dream. ”
Yang Qiu sighed and said, "I'm going to rest." ”
Li Dong waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go." ”
Yang Qiu said goodbye to Li Dong and returned to the barracks.
He called Xiao Yao over and said, "You guessed right. Li Dong and Nan Baitian both thought that the other party would take the initiative. If they work together, you're going to lose, but it's a pity they give you a chance. ”
Xiao Yao nodded and said, "Yes." If we work together, they are dead. ”
Yang Qiu said: "How can they win a war like this? I think it is more appropriate to take refuge in you." ”
Xiao Yao said: "It's good to know." Don't worry, I won't do you any wrong. ”
Yang Qiu nodded and said, "Okay, thank you." I'll tell you all about the situation of the Western Qin League. You listen, as long as you remember these weaknesses, many people in the Western Qin League can fight for it. ”
