Chapter 229: The Beginning of the War

With enough grain and grass to support an army of 500,000 people, and the number of guards is pitiful, the Northern Yuan Khan is full of great talents and strategies, and there are many good generals in the court, and he will definitely not make such a low-level mistake.

Tiger City is most likely an abandoned city.

"Shall we go to the aid of General Bai?" Ling Huchan listened to Wei Xiaobao's explanation and had an extremely bad premonition.

Wei Xiaobao thought about it, called Lian Xiangru, and ordered: "You immediately take 50,000 elite soldiers and go to Tiger City to help Bailuo." ”

"The last general commands." Lian Xiangru didn't ask the reason, and quickly turned around to order troops.

As soon as Lian Xiangru left with 50,000 elite soldiers, a flying pigeon arrived.

Bai Luo was ambushed in Tiger City and suffered heavy casualties.

Now Bai Luo is trapped in Tiger City, unable to get out, and can only fly pigeons for help.

Tiger City was easily taken, but after they entered the city, a large number of Yuan soldiers suddenly appeared around.

These soldiers are well-equipped, brave and good at fighting, even with the help of artillery, Bai Luo can't break through.

Seeing this news, Wei Xiaobao sighed, although he was aware of it, but he noticed it too late.

He got up and walked outside and said, "Chan'er, the real decisive battle is coming." ”

Ling Huchan nodded and followed closely behind Wei Xiaobao.

The two took 200,000 elite soldiers and rushed to Tiger City.

Panzhou City was guarded by Han Zifang.

Lian Xiangru was the first to reach Tiger City, but in the face of the Northern Yuan army that surrounded Tiger City, his face was full of fear.

The 50,000 elite soldiers he brought with him were like ants facing an elephant.

Lian Xiangru had no choice but to stand still and pass back the situation here to Wei Xiaobao.

Soon, a spy rushed over and told Lian Xiangru that Wei Xiaobao had brought troops to help, and he would be able to arrive in about an hour.

Lian Xiangru is quite admired, as the so-called soldier is fast, Wei Xiaobao's speed can no longer be described as speed.

The two armies met, and Lian Xiangru told Wei Xiaobao all the information he had.

Wei Xiaobao looked at the soldiers besieging the city, and felt that this scene was very funny.

That's the city of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

"General Bai can still hold on, but the situation is not optimistic." The implication of Lian Xiangru is that it is best to attack as soon as possible in order to relieve the siege of Bailuo.

Ling Huchan's eyes kept looking ahead, and asked curiously, "Why are so many Yuan soldiers staying outside the city?" If they had entered the city earlier, wouldn't they have taken Bailuo earlier? ”

"They seem to be waiting." Lian Xiangru replied.

As for what Yuan Jun was waiting for, Lian Xiangru didn't know.

Wei Xiaobao looked at those Yuan soldiers and asked softly, "How many Yuan soldiers do you think there are besieging the city?" ”

"It's about the same all around, and in terms of the size of Tiger City, there are at least 100,000." Lian Xiangru roughly calculated.

Ling Huchan also replied: "I think it's not just 100,000, it's almost 200,000, right?" ”

Wei Xiaobao shook his head with a smile and said, "You are all wrong, the Yuan soldiers besieging the city are definitely not more than 50,000. ”

"Overseer, are you sure it's less than fifty thousand?" Lian Xiangru couldn't believe it.

Ling Huchan was even more dumbfounded, and she wanted to go around the city to count.

Wei Xiaobao said: "The position they are standing in is very strange, it should be some kind of formation, this formation can confuse our eyes and make us feel that there are a lot of enemy troops." ”

"There are indeed similar formations in the rivers and lakes, but the purpose of them is to do this, is it just to scare us?" Ling Huchan's face was full of doubts.

Lian Xiangru guessed: "It may be that the real army of the Northern Yuan has not yet arrived." ”

Ling Huchan felt that Lian Xiangru's guess was very reasonable.

Wei Xiaobao sneered: "Beiyuan is just making a show, their purpose is not to die with us, but to Panzhou City." ”

"Is the overseer saying that the Northern Yuan army has rushed to Panzhou?" Lian Xiangru was quite confused.

If Beiyuan really does this, it is impossible to be airtight.

You must know that this is a marching war, not an assassination.

The movement of hundreds of thousands of troops is too great to hide their whereabouts.

Wei Xiaobao said: "The Northern Yuan claims to have a million army, and what we saw outside the capital at that time was 500,000, what about the rest?" ”

There were not many cities to be garrisoned by the Northern Yuan, and this million army did not include the defenders of each city.

"The overseer wants to say that Beiyuan has 500,000 soldiers and horses near Panzhou?" Lian Xiangru wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

Wei Xiaobao nodded and said, "The Northern Yuan has been preparing for this battle since I don't know when, they have time to let the 500,000 army quietly approach Panzhou City. ”

"If that's the case, then the ovary ......" Lian Xiangru couldn't help but sweat for Han Zifang.

Now there are only 100,000 Wei soldiers left in Panzhou City.

Wei Xiaobao said with a smile: "We have to believe in Han Zifang, besides, in Panzhou City, the most important thing is artillery." ”

Thinking of those cannons, Lian Xiangru also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Aren't we going to help, Lord?" Ling Huchan asked in a low voice.

Wei Xiaobao shook his head and said, "Drumming." ”

The drums of war sounded, and the heavens and the earth were shocked.

Lian Xiangru obeyed Wei Xiaobao's order and led the Wei soldiers to advance quickly, targeting the Yuan soldiers outside the Tiger City.

In the face of the menacing Wei army, those Yuan soldiers seemed to be frightened and fled one after another.

Although Lian Xiangru pursued hard, he didn't kill many enemies, so he could only watch the Yuan soldiers flee.

Defeating the enemy army again, Bai Luo in the city breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly led people to the outside of the city, and knelt on the ground to plead guilty.

Wei Xiaobao looked at Bai Luo, didn't let him get up, and asked, "Bai Luo, what are you guilty of?" ”

"The last general committed the crime of underestimating the enemy, which led to ......" Bai Luo knew very well why he would fall behind this time.

Relying on the power of the double-headed cannon of the big killer weapon, they were full of confidence, firmly believing that no matter how difficult the city was, they could easily take it.

The assault on Tiger City is a testament to this.

Under the fierce fire of the double-headed cannons, the fortified Tiger City collapsed in an instant, like paper paste.

Bai Luo also exerted great might, killed the enemy's defenders, and entered the city to sweep and plunder, so it was not beautiful.

When Wei Xiaobao's order arrived, Bai Luo still did not choose to go out of the city, but wanted to find a large amount of grain and grass hidden by the Northern Yuan in Tiger City.

Wei Xiaobao said coldly: "What you committed was a capital crime, but now is the time to employ people, I promise you to wear the crime and make meritorious contributions, and be like a pioneer with Lian Xiang, and go straight to the capital." ”

"The last general will listen to the order, thank you for the grace of the overseer not to kill." Bai Luo was holding his breath in his heart, eager to find Yuan Jun to vent.

Lian Xiangru heard Wei Xiaobao's order, but he couldn't understand it, and he stopped talking.

At this time, what they should do is to return to Panzhou City, even if there is no Yuan army near Panzhou, there will be no losses.

Wei Xiaobao insisted on attacking the capital, did he really want to get the "Nine-Colored Buddhist Sutra" as rumored?

Unfortunately, Wei Xiaobao had too much power at hand, so they could only act according to orders, and they categorically did not dare to question Wei Xiaobao's decision.

Bai Luo and Lian Xiangru each took 50,000 elite soldiers, plus 20 double-headed guns, and advanced in two directions in the direction of the capital.

"Overseer, what if Han Zifang can't hold Panzhou City?" Ling Huchan felt that Wei Xiaobao was too risky to do this.

Now the total number of troops they have advanced into Dadu is only 400,000, but outside the capital, there are 500,000 troops stationed.

Even if they can really successfully kill Dadu, how will they face the 500,000 Yuan army waiting for work at that time?

Wei Xiaobao said: "If you don't completely defeat Beiyuan, Beiyuan will definitely not be honest." ”

Ling Huchan no longer talks much, after all, she is a person in the rivers and lakes, and she doesn't understand the intrigue in the court, let alone marching and fighting.

On the contrary, Wei Xiaobao is regarded as the victorious general of the Great Wei, and believes that Wei Xiaobao is right after all.

The news soon spread to the capital.

Wanyan Wanghai stood on the high ground, looked at the 500,000 elite soldiers who turned back, and said with a smile: "It is said that Wei Xiaobao is the god of war, and he is invincible in battle, but now it seems that this guy is really stupid, and he dares to seek his own death." ”

There are 500,000 elite soldiers in Dadu, even if Wei Xiaobao brings the same soldiers and horses, and when he kills all the way to Dadu, the loss is huge, and the soldiers are tired, he will definitely be defeated.

Wanyan Wanghai was not worried about Wei Xiaobao at all, but was faintly worried about his son.

Wanyan has some ability, but after all, he is still young and inexperienced, and he is very prone to problems.

"Khan, a real person is invited." Some soldiers hurried and knelt on the ground.

Wan Yan Wanghai's cold eyes were slightly stunned, but he still turned over and quickly came to Tianyuan Palace.

The real person of the red moon sat on the roof of the Moon Temple, hunting in red, beyond the mundane.

Wan Yan Wanghai bowed and asked with a smile, "I don't know what the real person commands?" ”

"Don't underestimate Wei Xiaobao." Red Moon reminded softly.
