Chapter 199: Pre-Battle Preparations

Yan country, the capital.

"Your Majesty, this defender of the city is the most famous general among the younger generation of Yan Kingdom, who has gone on three expeditions and returned with great victories, and is quite famous among the people of Yan Kingdom!"

In the big tent, Wang Xiang gave Emperor Jin Yuan a scientific message about this person, and after Emperor Jin Yuan heard it, he was still a little surprised.

However, after glancing at the generals in the big tent, Emperor Jin Yuan settled down, and he was only one person, but there were dozens of his subordinates, and each one could almost be beaten when he took it out.

"Well, the capital is the first battle for our army to enter the Yan Kingdom, and it is also the most critical battle, the Yan Kingdom has spent more than ten years to build the capital, the city is high and the pool is thick, what good strategies do you have!"

General Zhang jumped out directly: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the old minister only needs 20,000 horses, and he will definitely be able to break through the capital within three days!" ”

Next, a group of generals immediately began to ask for orders, this kind of His Majesty does not have many opportunities to supervise the war, if he can make great contributions, Feihuang Tengda is just around the corner, as for General Zhang, a group of old ministers, they hope to be able to make more military achievements and protect the next generation.

"General Zhang sits back first, I believe that General Zhang can break through the capital, but if it is attacked, it will cost a lot of soldiers' lives, and I can't bear to bury the soldiers in a foreign land! Is there anything you can do to reduce casualties? ”

Emperor Jin Yuan also knew that fighting a war was private, and it was not that the heart of the Holy Mother was overflowing, but that he was testing the generals below, and he already had a rough way in his heart, and it depended on whether this group of generals could think of a way that met his own wishes.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the defenders of the capital are only 50,000, we can leave 50,000 troops to trap the defenders of the capital, and the 50,000 army will continue to the east, deep into the hinterland of Yan State, and after crossing the capital, the city of Yan will ......."

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that it can be besieged but not attacked, there are 50,000 defenders in the capital, and more than 10,000 people, and the daily consumption of grain and grass is ......."

A group of old generals kept saying their proposals, all of which were good ideas, but they were not in line with Emperor Jin Yuan's wishes, and Emperor Jin Yuan swept his eyes half-squinted over the younger generals below, hoping that someone in this group would stand up.

......

Emperor Jin Yuan looked at Wang Xiang: "Can you attack the city tonight?" ”

Hearing Emperor Jin Yuan's words, Wang Xiangsi pondered for a moment: "Your Majesty, there will be many inconveniences in attacking the city at night......"

"There is no need for a large-scale siege, you have been observing the city for a week today, and where do you think the defense of the capital is the weakest?"

Hearing Emperor Jin Yuan's inquiry, Wang Xiang thought for a while: "Your Majesty, the old minister has been patrolling for a week during the day, the defense of the eastern wall of the capital is weak, and the number of defenders is not large, but it is unlikely that you want to break through the east gate in a short time, there will definitely be defenders in the capital!" ”

After Emperor Jin Yuan heard this, he spread out the map, looked at it carefully, and looked at General Zhang and General Yu after thinking for a while: "Are you sure to use trebuchets to blow a gap in the eastern city wall?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the walls of the capital are not poured with cement, only a sufficient amount of trebuchets are needed, and they will definitely be detonated if they are buried under the city walls!"

"Okay, General Yu, General Zhang, how many people are in your headquarters?"

"A thousand!"

"General Zhang, assign more than 1,000 people to General Yu and General Zhang, the two of you are responsible for filling the trebuchet tonight, and tomorrow morning, I want to see the capital collapse and the city break!"

Hearing Emperor Jin Yuan's words, the two glanced at each other, and then knelt down directly: "The last general takes the order!" ”

Then Emperor Jin Yuan looked at Wang Xiang: "Li Guogong, the task of covering General Yu and General Zhang has been taught to you, and you must complete the task tonight!" ”

"Command!"

After Emperor Jin Yuan finished speaking, he left the big tent directly, and the rest of the things were handed over to Wang Xiang, Emperor Jin Yuan would not meddle in these things, he was not a general, so he would not meddle in the specific affairs of the army, after all, he was not that material, and Emperor Jin Yuan, an army of more than 100,000 people, could not command it at all.

After Wang Xiang watched Emperor Jin Yuan leave, he breathed a long sigh of relief, he was now worried that Emperor Jin Yuan would intervene in command, and Wang Xiang was sure that he would win this war.

But there is a premise, that is, Emperor Jin Yuan should not command blindly, he is afraid of more generals on the battlefield, just now Emperor Jin Yuan asked General Zhang and General Yu to prepare, it is a small matter, it will not affect the overall situation, if Emperor Jin Yuan wants to send troops to attack the city, Wang Xiang will jump out to stop Emperor Jin Yuan even if he is desperate to lose his head.

Half an hour later, the battle meeting ended, Wang Xiang roughly assigned the task, the general idea is to fight steadily, now the Jin State has a huge advantage, as long as it does not rush randomly, it is basically impossible to lose, the only problem is how many casualties to pay back and forth after winning.

Compared with the relaxed atmosphere in the camp of the Jin army outside the city, the atmosphere in the palace of the city lord of the capital of Yan State is much more serious, the generals defending the city immediately sit in the first place, and the rest of the generals sit in the lower position, no one makes a sound, and the needles in the entire hall can be heard.

"Let's talk about it!"

The general defending the city slowly spoke, and the general of the defending army below, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know how to speak.

"General, this time the Jin Kingdom has poured all its strength into attacking my Yan Kingdom, I am afraid that it wants to destroy my Yan Kingdom!"

A general thought for a long time, and finally held back such a sentence, isn't this nonsense, hundreds of thousands of people are not here to destroy your country, are they coming to Yan Country for a spring outing?

"Do you recognize the other party's flag?" The defending general asked again.

"It has been recognized that it is the ...... of the soldiers and horses of the Jin Kingdom"

Hearing the name of a famous general, the head of the general defending the city was big, and when he heard that the Jin State was going to attack the Yan State, the general who defended the city personally went to the royal city to ask for help, and he hurried back today, and he almost couldn't even enter the city.

"General Hui, this time there is also a five-clawed dragon flag in the Jin army!"

Hearing the words of his subordinates, the general defending the city was stunned: "Five-clawed dragon flag? Are you sure you read that right? ”

"Yes, the Five-Clawed Dragon Banner!"

Hearing the words of this general, everyone gasped, everyone here understood what the five-clawed dragon flag meant, the totem of the Central Plains Dynasty was a dragon, and the five-clawed golden dragon could only be used by the emperor, could this mean that the emperor of the Jin Kingdom had personally conquered the army?

What hatred and what grudge? This is the first thought in everyone's minds now, Jin Guo is really too much, right? Originally, everyone got along well, but now it's going to war!

The general defending the city closed his eyes and thought for a while before slowly speaking: "This may be good news for us, since the emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty is here, if we catch their emperor!" ”

Everyone's eyes lit up when they said this, yes, if the emperor on the other side was caught? Everyone was excited when they thought about it.

"General, there are famous generals on the other side, General Zhang and others, we ......"

After touching the cold water poured down, the hot heads of this group of guys quieted down, first it was very beautiful, but the reality is that the army on the opposite side is full of fierce generals, and there are more than 100,000 troops, and they only have 50,000 troops here, and they may not be able to defend the city, let alone take the initiative to attack!

"General, the last general has a plan, the Jin army has just arrived outside the capital today, and the multi-day march will inevitably be sleepy and lacking, and the last general is willing to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack the enemy camp at night, and he will definitely be able to kill the opponent without leaving a piece of armor!"

Hearing this proposal, the eyes of the general defending the city lit up, but he quickly shook his head, and vetoed this and the idea, but there were Wang Xiang and other battlefield generals in the opposing army, he didn't think that his subordinates could attack and attack the city at night, originally there were only 50,000 troops in the capital, if you lose another 10,000 troops, then this battle will not be fought directly, and you will surrender directly.

"No!"

Just then, a soldier ran in: "General, the spy is here!" ”

"Bring it on!"

Soon, a titled bamboo tube was sent to the general of the city, and after the general of the city took it in his hand and looked at it, his brows became deeper and deeper: "Emperor Jin Yuan actually abdicated!" ”

The general defending the city also had a certain understanding of the Central Plains Dynasty, and he didn't expect that the young emperor would actually abdicate, which was a little incredible.

After looking down, the generals defending the city knew why the five-clawed dragon banner appeared in the army this time, and looked at the guards below: "Your Majesty of the Jin Kingdom has personally conquered!" ”

"Emperor Jin Yuan?"

The general of the capital thought for a moment and then spoke: "Emperor Jin Yuan has always wanted to use troops against my Yan Kingdom, but my Yan Kingdom has never given him a chance, and I didn't expect it to ...... this time."

"None of this is important, but this time the purpose of the Jin Kingdom is to destroy us, everyone, the survival of the capital is related to the survival of the Yan Kingdom, the king has begun to recruit troops in the country, and the reinforcements will come to the capital in half a month, as long as I wait to defend the capital for half a month, the Jin Kingdom will return with a feather, and then we!"

When the general defending the city said at the end, his little eyes narrowed, and he already had a huge plan in his heart, if it could be successfully implemented, Yan Guo might be able to enter the Central Plains.

The general who defends the city has always been an ambitious person, Yan Guo is too small to tolerate his ambitions, his goal has always been the Central Plains Dynasty, if this time he can defeat the army of the Jin State and capture the Jin Yuan Emperor, maybe!

When he thought of this, the generals defending the city couldn't control their trembling hands!

"Guys, it's up to you this time!"

"Okay, let's let those guys in the Jin Kingdom see that the Yan Kingdom is not easy to mess with!"
