Chapter 553: Intensify the siege
In the big tent of the commander of the camp of the alliance between the Night Kingdom and the Huns, the lazy man who looked like he was lazy had just sent away a group of generals in the army, including the generals of his Night Country, and of course there were people from the Huns.
After sending these people away, the lazy man, that is, the regent of the Night Country, the Seventh Prince, Tuoba Shijie, finally put away the laziness and indifference that he had been hanging on his face.
Suddenly, with a wave of his hand, he flipped the tea set on the coffee table to the ground!
The few soldiers guarding outside the big tent couldn't help but shudder when they heard the movement inside, trying to shrink their existence as much as possible, for fear that the master inside would take his anger out on them.
However, the minions still couldn't dodge.
"Someone!" came the order from the big tent.
A few small soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, seeing that there is no way to hide, and I am afraid that the master inside will be mad, and finally the nearest soldier in the big tent stood up with a bitter face, and then adjusted the expression on his face, so that he hurried to the big tent after looking respectful.
"Go, bring General Ma to this king!"
As soon as he entered the big tent, Tuoba Shijie's order sounded, and the soldiers who came hurriedly said yes, and then immediately looked for General Ma, who Tuoba Shijie was looking for.
That's right, Tuoba Shijie at this time can be said to be furious, thinking that the general on the Huns' side just now actually doubted his combat policy, his eyes couldn't help but become even more dangerous.
Speaking of which, according to the original plan, this attack on the border city seemed to him to be captured, but now they have been attacking for two or three days, and today they have been fighting for another whole day, and their side has lost more than 3,000 people, but the walls of this side of the city are still impregnable, and they have not even been able to open a gap.
As a last resort, their side had to temporarily withdraw their troops again today.
And because this siege battle could not get the effect as originally planned, those shallow and brave horsemen on the Huns' side actually squeezed him out of words just now, especially their main general Gao Jun didn't take him seriously.
Hmph, this city has not yet been attacked, it has only been less than three days since the war, and Gao Jun and they are going to fight among themselves, which is really stupid!
Do they think that if their coalition forces are defeated, they will be able to stand alone?!
Thinking of Mo Jiajun's hard bone, Tuoba Shijie couldn't help frowning his good-looking brows!
What the hell is going wrong?
The morale of the Mo family army was not as badly hit as he expected!
For a moment, he couldn't help but wonder again whether the so-called "January Break" provided to him by the Five Princes of Great Qi who cooperated with him really worked.
Otherwise, if Mo Yuntian had really been poisoned to death, the generals below him, Zheng Shiyan and the others, would still be so calm?
Thinking of the unobtrusive behavior of this Mr. Wang sent by the five princes recently, his suspicions are even stronger!
No, no matter what, he can't wait to sit still, he must strike first, otherwise he will be in a dilemma if he changes later, and he will be in a dilemma if he is infighting in the rear. At this time, Tuoba Shijie had to admit that he was indeed afraid that Mo Yuntian would be fine, and they would really suffer a big loss against Mo Yuntian.
I have to say that the title of God of War of Mo Yuntian in the north of Daqi Town has been famous in the northwest for more than ten years, that is, he has not seen him for a long time now, but his prestige is still there, although the two countries of the Night Kingdom and the Xiongnu alliance know that he will not have the opportunity to go to the battlefield again, but the sergeants are still fighting before they are sure that Mo Yuntian is dead.
Even Tuoba Shijie had to admit that he didn't want to face Mo Yuntian in his heart.
Speaking of General Ma, after discussing the military situation in Tuoba Shijie's big tent, he heard that Tuoba Shijie was looking for him as soon as he walked out a short distance, so he quickly wiped a cold sweat that didn't exist and followed the soldiers to Tuoba Shijie's big tent quickly.
At the same time, he secretly wondered in his heart what the Seventh Prince, Tuoba Shijie, was looking for him now. But thinking about the disadvantages of today's war, he probably guessed that it would not be a good thing.
Sure enough, after entering the big tent, General Ma had just finished saluting, and Tuoba Shijie said: "General Ma, do you have anything to say to this king about the current situation?"
When General Ma heard this, he accidentally looked up and saw Tuoba Shijie's deep and dangerous gaze, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat!
After stumbling for a long time, seeing that he couldn't hide, he said thoughtfully: "The current Mo family army has no commander and has been hit hard by our side in the battle of Guangyan Pass in front. As long as we continue to attack, when He Ping of Yizhou City captures the three cities over there, and the troops are in the border city, then our army will fight with He Ping and them back and forth, and no matter how powerful the Mo family army is, it will not be able to set off any storms. ”
"Oh, is it?" Tuoba Shijie didn't say whether General Ma's analysis was correct or not, but just asked rhetorically.
And Tuoba Shijie's fluttering rhetorical question made General Ma even more at a loss.
Speaking of which, before they attacked the city this time, they expected to take advantage of Mo Yuntian's death at this juncture, when the Mo family's army was defeated, to take the border city vigorously.
However, this attack only found that the Mo family's army did not collapse as they expected.
On their side, thousands of people have been lost today, and more than 2,000 have been injured, large and small.
Looking at the situation, with the morale and strength of the Mo family's army now, they will not be able to take the border city as quickly as expected for a while.
Therefore, they now have to change their previous plan, first slow down the pace of attack, and wait for He Ping's side to attack the border city, and then take the border city in front and back.
General Ma's statement at this time was also the countermeasure that the generals on both sides of their night country and the Xiongnu discussed and decided just now.
And Tuoba Shijie now has this question, General Ma is nervous and can't help but wonder if Tuoba Shijie still has his own ideas.
No, General Ma didn't dare to reply to Tuoba Shijie's words immediately when he heard this.
However, Tuoba Shijie obviously didn't want to let General Ma go so easily, although he didn't continue to ask, but kept staring at General Ma.
"Back to ...... Back to the prince, his subordinates are foolish and think it should be like this. ”
Under the pressure of Tuoba Shijie, General Ma trembled, and his head almost didn't drop to the ground.
Tuoba Shijie sighed inaudibly, that is, he had been committed to cultivating soldiers all these years, but they still lacked excellent generals in the Night Country. This time, he also had to go out in person to rest assured.
Although General Ma Zhihao is still a little clever and insightful in strategy, he is too cautious in his actions, and he does not dare to let go of his hands and feet.
He can be a good executor, but he can't be on his own!
Tuoba Shijie thought of this, and then thought of Mo Yuntian, the world-famous god of war in the north of Daqi, and couldn't help but sigh that his talents were withering.
In the blink of an eye, Tuoba Shijie had already thought about it a lot, and then his gaze suddenly became firm, and he decided to do what he had just thought.
"General Ma, let's throw seventy percent of our troops into the battlefield tomorrow to form an encirclement and attack the border city!" Tuoba Shijie's tone was unquestionable.
"Lord Wang!"
General Ma couldn't help but exclaim when he heard this, "Lord Wang, we didn't decide with the generals on the Huns' side just now!"
General Ma finally couldn't hold back his questions and worries.
"What? are you questioning the King's decision?"
Tuoba Shijie asked coldly when he saw it, and lowered his gaze as he spoke, not knowing where to look, but the coercion was emanating.
"No...... No. Wang, Lord Wang, aren't we going to wait for He Ping and them to attack before launching a general attack?"
Speaking of this, seeing that Tuoba Shijie did not speak, General Ma plucked up his courage again and continued to persuade: "The morale of the current Mo family army is higher than we imagined, with Zheng Shiyan and several generals of the Mo family, it is really difficult for us to take this city at this moment, if we continue to attack this will definitely suffer heavy casualties." No matter how numerically superior our army is, it can't withstand this attrition! Therefore, I hope that you will think about it more deeply! If there is a Xiongnu, there will be ......."
"That's enough!" Seeing that General Ma was going to continue, Tuoba Shijie finally raised his head, looked at him seriously, and scolded.
"Wang ......" Hearing this scolding, General Ma almost lost his soul.
"This king has already decided, General Ma, you don't need to say much!"
Tuoba Shijie thought about it and explained, "What this king is afraid of is that it will change later, if we don't take this city in one go, if Mo Yuntian returns to the battlefield in the north of the town, the situation will be difficult to say at that time, so we must cut through the chaos quickly." ”
"Huh?" General Ma couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and said in shock: "Isn't the town Beihou already ......?"
Of course, Tuoba Shijie knew what General Ma was going to say next, so he interrupted him and said, "There is no sure thing, we can't be careless!"
"Does the prince mean that Mo Yuntian is not dead yet?" At this point, General Ma's expression was paler and more shocked than after he entered the big tent.
"Probably, but we don't have to gamble, so it's better to strike first. Tuoba Shijie said.
"Okay, my subordinates will go and arrange the troops. General Ma finally did not hesitate and decided to do what Tuoba Shijie said.
............
It has been three days since the combined forces of the Night Kingdom and the Xiongnu began to attack the border city, and the coalition army has also collected troops many times during the period.
Faced with such a situation, although Zheng Shiyan and Third Uncle Mo struggled to deal with it, they finally resisted.
However, who knew that early this morning, the coalition forces of the two countries, which had collected troops yesterday, would suddenly increase the intensity of their attacks.
Zheng Shiyan stood on the city gate and looked at the coalition forces of the two countries that were gradually surrounding below, and his face became extremely pale when he saw that their encirclement was about to be formed.
"General Zheng, this coalition seems to have changed its strategy!" Mo Si on the side also looked very grim.
"Let's go, let's go down and discuss!" Although Zheng Shiyan was worried, he still endured the panic in his heart and waved his hand to Mo Sidao.
And the news that the enemy army had increased its siege efforts soon spread back to the military camp of the Mo family's army, and Ziluo almost didn't knock over the cup in her hand after listening to Chunhua and Xia He's report.
