455. Retreat

After listening to Cao Lie's words, the head guard of the east gate of the Buddha Oath City did not know whether to believe it or not.

After all, it is too unbelievable that the 50,000 team of his *** team suddenly came directly to his own capital.

To transport 50,000 troops, what a huge fleet would it take?

I'm afraid that the large and small sea ships that occupy the city together do not have such capacity.

And it's silent, without any warning, and it's too scary to be true!

However, whether there are really 50,000 or not is not to say for the time being, but this staggering scale of cavalry cannot be faked.

Who doesn't know that the Song Kingdom is very short of war horses, and the people who can use so many elite cavalry must have an extraordinary high position.

Therefore, it should be true that the general of the Song army said that King Yan of the Great Song Dynasty came in person.

This kind of thing is not something that he can handle as a guard, and he can't be lazy, so let's report it quickly.

As for how to deal with the threat of the Song Army, that is a headache for the Minister of Supervision himself.

He didn't worry about sending someone else, so the guard simply rushed to the palace in person.

At this time, the situation in the city was already very serious, and the two armies were fighting each other.

When dawn came, 18,000 troops had entered the city from the west gate, and they had initially gained a firm foothold.

However, the defenders in the city reinforced from all over the city to the west gate, and resolutely counterattacked the release army, resisting step by step.

Although a large part of the city area within the West Gate was lost, it also prevented Sukhotan from attacking the royal palace directly.

More than 40,000 soldiers and horses on both sides were scattered in many streets and alleys, fighting and seizing, and the battle was inseparable, and the front was staggered.

Street fighting is very brutal, and every street and alley is like a flesh and blood millstone, constantly consuming the lives of soldiers on both sides, and also involving many innocent people who have not had time to escape the war zone.

Anxious to expand the results of the battle, he threw in all the 5,000 troops used as a reserve force and tried to attack the north gate and the south gate from the city wall. o

The defenders on the western wall were crushed and retreated, until the entire wall was about to be lost, and the decline was halted when they were supported by friendly forces.

The south was the main direction of attack before the release army, so heavy troops were originally arranged.

To the north is the defense area of Pansha, with relatively sufficient troops and considerable combat effectiveness.

Therefore, the offensive and defensive sides were at a stalemate at the corners of the narrow city walls.

Even if Shi Li Hali himself was transferred to the West Gate Tower to supervise the battle, there was still no progress.

As a last resort, Shi Lihali could only put his eyes and available forces back on the ground, and fight the defenders street by street.

Bao Bald, who had been staying in the depths of the palace, tried desperately to strengthen the palace's defenses.

On the other hand, he kept an eye on the battle situation, and kept strictly urging the defenders to fight a bloody battle, and the liberation army must be driven out of the city as soon as possible.

In fact, if the current situation can be maintained without collapsing, the defenders have already worked very hard, and thanks to the reward issued in time last night, the morale has been greatly improved.

In fact, Bao Bao Bald didn't think that he could really drive the release army out of the city again, but he just did his best to obey the fate of heaven.

As time passed, the Liberation Army gradually expanded its occupied area and got closer and closer to the palace by relying on its stronger combat effectiveness.

Seeing this situation, Bao Bald became more and more pessimistic in his heart, and faintly had a plan to escape.

Stay in the green mountains, don't you be afraid of no firewood.

As long as his life is still alive, it is unknown that he will make a comeback in the future.

However, he was not sure which way to flee safely.

Asking Wang Ge if he is undecided has become a habit of protecting baldness.

"Mr. Wang, do you think we still have any hope of keeping the Buddha's Oath City?"

At this moment, Wang Ge was lying on the map of the city, pretending to be busy looking for a way to retreat from the enemy.

After hearing Bao Bao Bald's question, he raised his head a little dazedly, "Prison Country, ...... you?"

"I'll just say it bluntly, looking at the current situation, most of us are just dying, so it's better to give up the capital for the time being, and go back to the north to lie down and try the courage in the future."

occupy

To the north of the city is the territory of the coconut tribe, where the local forces support both the former king of the city, Jaya, and the bald flowers, or swing between the two brothers.

Although each has its own internal calculations, none of these local forces wants the throne of Champa to be taken away by the Saili Pear of the Binglang tribe.

Bao Bao Bald didn't know that Jaya was dead, but he just thought that his defeat was decided anyway, so it was better to take a step back from Haikou Sky.

When he loses the capital to Sharihali, Jaya will definitely not be able to sit still, and he believes that he will be killed back soon.

If Shi Li Hali wins, then the north will fully support Bao Bao Bald, which can allow him to recover his strength faster and make a comeback.

Even if Jaya wins, he will probably have a lot of losses, and he will be busy rectifying the power of those betel nut tribes in the south, so he may not be able to take care of himself.

What's more, Bao Bao Bald has never publicly usurped the throne, so there can still be some turnaround between him and Jaya.

After Wang Ge figured out this, he knew that he had made up his mind to protect the bald flowers.

Originally, Wang Ge was going to find a way to persuade Bao to stay and fight to the death with Shi Lihe Pear.

At this time, he didn't bother to do useless work, and pretended to be in favor, "It is wise for the prison country to avoid the edge for the time being, if you want to go, I suggest that you first go to the camp north of the city to meet General Pansha, and then try to gather as many reliable soldiers and horses as possible, and then go out from the north gate first, then turn to the east, and go to the port to sail the sea......

The suggestion is still very reasonable, but it hides Wang Ge's scheming.

Pansha's troops avoided the battle as much as possible, and their strength was well preserved, and when they retreated, they should be able to take six or seven thousand troops with them.

In addition to the three thousand personal guards who are still intact, the other losses are already serious, and now they are still strangled with the release army, and they can't collect much.

In this way, after evacuating the Buddha Oath City, Pansha can rely on his stronger strength to protect the bald flowers.

Bao Tu Bald understood why he didn't go north, because first, he would be easily pursued by Sharihali by land, and secondly, he might also run into the army of Jaya.

But he was also afraid of Pansha, and he didn't really want to take Pansha with him, so he frowned and said, "I think let's go directly to the east gate......

Wang Ge didn't expect that Bao Bao Bald Flower would become so sober, and would rather have a meager strength in his hands than be controlled by others.

probably also saw that Pan Sha had been preserving his strength, so Bao Bao Bald didn't trust Pan Sha, and was always on guard against him in his heart.

But if Bao Bao Bald only took his own soldiers and horses, it would be difficult for Wang Ge to influence his thoughts alone.

Whether it is going back to the north to hibernate or wandering on the sea, it is a troublesome matter, and it definitely does not meet Bi Wen's requirements.

Therefore, Wang Ge tried to persuade, "Jian Guo, I know what you are afraid of, Pan Sha has his selfish intentions, and wants to rely on the military power in his hands to seek wealth for himself, so he is not a good minister, but if the prison country leaves him, and when he knows, maybe he will immediately switch to Shi Lihali, in this way, Shi Lihe pear not only increases his strength, but also solves the war in the city faster, then it will not be so easy for the prison country to go, not to mention that Pan Sha betrayed the king, and it will be impossible to regain allegiance to the king, if the prison country is willing to take him, Then he must be more loyal to the prison country, after all, his soldiers are all from the coconut tribe, and if he takes refuge in Shili Hali, he will basically not be reused......
