General Guo took advantage of the fact that Jing Jun was suspending the attack, and quickly drank two large sips of water, and then analyzed:

"Now the outside of the city is full of Jing troops, and the east, north, and west gates have also fallen into the hands of Jing army, if it is reinforcements, why don't you come to the south gate to meet us?"

"Even if they want to enter through other gates, they must defeat the Jing army first, and then I haven't heard the sound of a battle in the distance until now."

An old soldier muttered with some disappointment, "Who is that?" It can't be the manifestation of Anxi Military Town, right? ”

"Maybe it's a master of the rivers and lakes who cares about the Tang Dynasty and sneaks into the city secretly." General Guo put down the water bladder and looked at the north with a deep gaze.

"The battle situation is irreparable, our old guys will die if they die, we can only hope that this master is safe and sound, and don't fall into the hands of Jingren."

……

In the north of the city, in the west of the city, and in the middle of the city, three fires were fired in a row, causing tens of thousands of Jing troops to panic.

In the north of the city, the first fire had not been completely extinguished, and Meng Su saw the fire rising to the sky in the west of the city, and his scalp suddenly became numb, and his breathing stagnated.

"It's over......"

The faces of several battalion leaders and battalion deputies next to him also turned pale in unison.

When the officers of the other barracks saw the bright fire, they might have wondered for a moment and sent their troops to investigate.

Meng Su and the others knew what was going on at a glance, after all, they had just been pitted once.

"The assassin went west of the city and set it on fire!"

They hurriedly separated an infantry battalion, brought buckets of sand and water, and went to the west of the city to put out the fire.

With a thousand people set off, and a fourth-order martial artist to lead the team, this formation is not afraid of assassin assassination, and even if there are fewer people.

But the foot pawn has a limited speed of travel after all, and he has to carry heavy buckets and sand buckets on his back.

When they arrived panting, they looked at the wall of fire that was several people high, and listened to the cries of the soldiers behind the wall of fire.

The Assassin did not show up the whole time, as if knowing that their trip was doomed, and was hiding in the darkness, laughing silently......

The Jing army dispatched a total of 60,000 soldiers and 30,000 people in this battle.

10,000 cavalry were guarding outside the south gate at this time, waiting for the Beiting army to break through.

On the flat and vast desert, if there are no heavily armored foot soldiers to escape, they will only be harvested by the cavalry.

If it is an army with a weak will to fight, when the enemy is outnumbered and the city is broken, it will basically choose to flee out of the city.

Knowing the danger, but they all have a fluke mentality, and in the end, no one can survive.

However, the Beiting army is a strong-willed veteran of a hundred battles, knowing that there is no way out, they fight street battles in the city, and would rather die than retreat.

20,000 Jing troops gathered in the south of the city to encircle and suppress the remaining old soldiers.

More than 10,000 people are stationed in several major urban areas that have been occupied, and they are being overwhelmed by Song Yun.

In the end, there were more than 10,000 people, who did not participate in the battle, but stayed outside the north gate and stationed in the main camp.

In the main camp at night, the tents were scattered, flags were fluttering, and hundreds of torches were erected high to dispel the darkness inside and outside the camp.

A team of halberd-wielding sharpmen patrolled back and forth, and truckloads of materials were transported to the city, and the weather was strict and orderly.

In a large tent in the center, the lights were bright, and there were seven or eight maps on the table, and there was a simple sand table next to it.

Behind the table sat a middle-aged man in a black uniform, with deep eyes under thick eyebrows, a square face of Chinese characters that was not angry and arrogant, his left hand pressed his helmet, and his right hand was gesturing on a map.

Even though it was already night, the middle-aged man still had clear eyes and was full of energy.

This person is a famous general of Jingguo who has become famous in recent years, and he has led troops to go out several times, attacked various countries, and made great achievements.

Sitting opposite the side of Sikong was a handsome young man, with a somewhat frivolous temperament, wearing a richly carved light armor, a tiger-striped cloak on his back, and several circles of rhombic flowers embroidered on both sides of his armbands.

The young man was lying on the edge of the sand table, yawning boredly.

The yawning sound was a little obvious, Sikong Cuo raised his head, frowned, and said:

"Bai Yingqi, for the generals, you need to be patient, you can dive under the nine abysses, and wait for a moment...... You've only been half a night, so why are you getting impatient? ”

The young man Bai Yingqi pursed his lips helplessly: "It's boring, a battle that could have been easily won has to be grinded slowly." ”

"If you want me to say, it is better to send soldiers to stand all over the city, pour fierce fire oil directly down, and burn it for a day and a night. Let's get some sleep, and tomorrow the city will be in hand. ”

Sikong shook his head again and again: "Anxi's location is quite important, and if we occupy it, we will not only be able to have our own transit station in the vast desert, but also radiate to the northwest of the Tang Kingdom, opening up the situation for future wars." ”

"In short, this is a military town that must be held in your hands for a long time, how much manpower and material resources will it cost to burn this fire clean? Dajing's treasury can't afford to be tossed by you. ”

Bai Yingqi: "If you don't burn it, you can save some copper plates, but if you die so many Jing soldiers, isn't it also a loss?" ”

Sikong Coo shook his head again: "Although the Tang Kingdom has declined, the heritage is still there." The Tang army was brave, known as the first in the world back then, and if I didn't let these soldiers exercise first, I would still die if I attacked Tang State later. ”

"The previous battle damage has been reported, and a total of nearly 3,000 people have been killed so far, this loss is still acceptable, so it should be regarded as training."

"Ten to one numerical advantage, there are still so many deaths." Bai Yingqi was slightly stammered, "These old things are really difficult to deal with, I always think it's better to burn them." ”

At this time, a soldier outside the big tent asked to see him, and another battle report came in.

Sikong Coo unfolded it and looked at it, so angry that his thick eyebrows trembled.

"Mengsu, this young man, thought that he was steady, but the clinker was so careless, and he lost his battalion by catching assassins!"

"And the Assassins?" Bai Yingqi curiously leaned over and took a look, "Good guy, more than 1,500 people were burned to death, Mengsu is miserable this time." ”

"Hmph, there is a military law after the war." Sikong Cuo snorted coldly, and then began to give orders:

"There are four military camps in the north of the city, west of the city, east of the city, and in the middle of the city, don't rest tonight, everyone is on duty with armor, strengthen the guard, and be sure to ensure that there are no problems in the military camp."

After the herald retreated, Sikong Cuo was still frowning and staring at the battle report.

"To be able to quietly burn down a military camp, what level does this assassin have to be? Martial arts master? ”

He turned his head and said, "General Wei, the main camp is fine, why don't you go to the city to help." ”

A man's muffled voice came from outside the camp, "I'm only responsible for keeping you two safe." ”

When Bai Yingqi heard the words "Martial Arts Grandmaster", he shrunk his neck and said with a dry smile:

"That's right, if there is really a Grandmaster of the Tang Kingdom, he will definitely give priority to assassinating us, General, you can't take risks."

Sikong Coo sighed helplessly, "Let the main force in the south of the city step up the attack, be sure to destroy the Tang army tonight, and search the whole city tomorrow." ”

At this moment, the city of Anxi was lit up with fire, illuminating the night sky.

The two people in the big tent could feel the light outside through the tent.

"This is ......" The faces of the two changed drastically, and Huo De stood up.
