Chapter Seventy-Five: The Battle of Xuanke
The great war between the two countries finally began, with banners hunting, war drums thundering, and the army of the Ying Dynasty stationed less than ten miles away from Kirzi.
Early in the morning, when Yeheza had just finished washing up and was about to summon Nurna's uncle and nephew, a soldier hurriedly walked in and hurriedly reported: "Wang, the army of the Ying Dynasty has arrived in the city."
"Got it, go down, and call Nurna and Nashi to meet me"
"No", the pro-soldier immediately turned around and left after receiving the order.
"They came just in time, and I Naxi will let them come and go."
"Naxi!" , Nurna stopped Naxi's nonsense.
"Uncle, the Mo family army seems to be fierce, but in fact it is a paper tiger, a wolf mountain can make them flee in embarrassment, what is worth taking care of?"
"Have you forgotten, king, what I told you before? Don't underestimate them", this kid is really too disproportionate, and if he continues like this, he will inevitably suffer a big loss in the future.
"Uncle ......"
"Shut up", Naxi's words were not finished before he was blocked back by Nurna.
"Okay, Nurna, in your opinion, how should our army be deployed"
"Wang, the last general thinks that this battle is the best way to respond to all changes without change."
"Oh, it's kind of interesting, let's talk about it, how to respond to all things without changing"
"The last general has been negotiating with Mo Zhiyuan for many years, and he knows their abilities very well, Mo Zhiyuan is proficient in the art of war, and the name of the god of war is not groundless, and the firearms of the Xuan Dynasty are also very powerful, if you are hard-hitting, with all due respect, our army does not have much chance of winning......"
"Uncle, you can grow your morale and destroy your own prestige!" Before Nurna could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Naxi, who glared at him.
The kid was still too young after all, and Naxi knew she was wrong, so she lowered her head in embarrassment, avoiding Nurna's eyes.
"General, you go on"
"No, the last general thinks that our army can take advantage of the terrain to attack and fight a protracted war with it."
"Protracted war?"
"Yes, the march pays attention to the soldiers and horses before moving the grain and grass, this grain and grass is the lifeblood of the Mo army, as long as we can cut off their 'lifeline', then this battle, our army can win without a fight"
"Just be clear"
"Our army can take advantage of the terrain to firmly defend the city gate and consume with them, and then send a team of elite soldiers and strong generals to go around to the back of the Mojia army, and ambush them on the road they must pass to transport grain and grass, blocking their supply of grain and grass, so that they will not be able to support for long, and they will be self-defeating."
"Wonderful, wonderful, that's it", Yeheza patted his thigh excitedly.
"Naxi, command to go down and guard the city gate"
"No", Naxi happily took the order and turned to leave.
Mo Zhiyuan led the Mo family army, and marched towards the city gate of Kirzi, the black pressure of the army seemed to be endless, and the solemn and murderous aura on the battlefield was stacked layer by layer, becoming more and more pressing.
"General Naxi, Mo Zhiyuan is leading 30,000 vanguard soldiers and is coming towards us."
"Go up to the city tower", Naxi gave an order, and the city tower was covered with all kinds of defensive weapons, as well as dozens of marksmen, all of whom were waiting with full bows.
Mo Zhiyuan They wore military uniforms, wore heavy armor, held long swords, and came on horseback, followed by a hundred cavalry, although not as fierce as the cavalry of Kirzi, but they were all elite soldiers and strong generals who were good at riding, and the army stopped at the city tower and fought a hundred battles.
"Dad, the person in the city tower should be Naxi, the nephew of their general Nurna", Mo Zhiyuan nodded, a little puzzled.
"General, what's wrong?"
"I didn't see Yeheza, not even Nurna, but only sent his nephew, I am afraid that it will be a fraud, so be more careful"
"No", everyone responded.
"Drumming March"
The emperor of the Xuan Dynasty came in person, Mo Zhiyuan gave an order, and his morale was greatly boosted, only to see the big drum next to him being beaten loudly, deafening, the army attacked the city with firearms, stones, and ladders, and Naxi, who defended the city, condescended, and cracked the offensive of the Mo generals one by one, and fought until sunset.
"Dad, Master, let's go", Gu Yanting and Mo Chengbei said in unison, Mo Zhiyuan glanced at them, nodded solemnly, and after getting the consent, the two looked at each other, and stepped away in tacit understanding.
"Yan Ting, Chengbei be careful", He Xiujue's voice sounded behind him, and the arrows in the air shot at them like meteors, and they held long swords and blocked them one by one.
The Mo family was fierce, and Naxi saw that the situation was not good, and immediately ordered to mobilize people to the city tower.
The night has been three watches, the moon is in the sky, the starlight is shining, shining on the earth, the sky is light and the wind is light, and it is peaceful.
And on this grassland that should be peaceful, there are tens of thousands of people in the fierce battle of forgetting their lives and deaths, at this time the Mo army has lost more than 1,000 people, but it is still one after another, bravely attacking.
One by one, the soldiers were killed or wounded, the blood-stained iron armor was carried down from the front of the array, this big battle was fought from early morning to late at night, the Mo family would occupy the strategy, the Kirzi would occupy the terrain, and the two armies would not be victorious.
In this way, the confrontation situation lasted for a long time, and the grain and grass of the Mo family army were exhausted, and the follow-up supplement was nowhere to be seen, and there was not even any news at all.
"Dad, it's not a way to continue like this, they occupy an advantageous position, it's easy to defend and difficult to defend, if they don't come out all the time, wouldn't we have to spend it here"
"This is their plan", Gu Yanting said lightly.
"Ling Yi, how long can the grain and grass last?"
"Less than half a month"
"Follow-up supplies?" , General Ling knelt down on one knee and lowered his head, and said in a deep voice: "The last general deserves death, military rations, military rations, ...... military rations."
"Say"
"There is no news of military rations for the time being", Mo Zhiyuan waved his big hand angrily, and the things on the table were scattered all over the ground.
"The last general is incompetent, beg the general to punish him"
"Someone Coming"
"General!" , Mo Zhiyuan, who was furious, couldn't listen to persuasion at all.
"Drag it down and scold twenty"
"No", the soldier put Ling Yi out on the left and on the right.
Mo Zhiyuan sat down, still angry, Gu Yanting and they couldn't help, "Master, the child suggests a temporary truce", Gu Yanting suddenly spoke, and everyone present looked at him.
"Ting'er, you're ......!"
"Master, the current situation is that we can't enter, and they don't go in and out, Kirzi is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is only one entrance and exit to the east gate, which is why we can't do it for a long time, but they are also because we can't get in and out."
"What do you mean?" , Mo Chengbei immediately understood what Gu Yanting meant, and smiled at him.
"Now the only factor that determines victory or defeat is the material, at this time, whoever has enough material has the right to dominate, so what we have to do now is to seal all the entrances and exits that they may use, even if it is just a mountain trail, it will never give them the opportunity to bring a grain of rice into the city."
"The most important thing for us is also food, so Ting'er asks Master to allow me to return to the DPRK to prepare food, as long as we successfully survive this period of lack of food and grass, and our troops are far superior to Kirzi, then we will definitely be able to turn things around."
"It's still you kid who has a lot of ideas", Mo Chengbei patted Gu Yanting's shoulder excitedly.
