Chapter 408: Abandon the City and Flee?
It's day and night.
Huo Qiji stood on top of the city wall and looked down.
It was pitch black as far as the eye could see.
Just like the future of Daqian.
In everyone's hearts, they all thought that the current Daqian, under his defense, was impregnable.
But only he knows that the day of the destruction of the city is not far away!
In the past few days, he has relied on the city gate, which has indeed caused a lot of obstacles to the 300,000 iron horsemen of Beiyan.
But there are limits to this obstacle.
After the other party realized this, the pace of the siege began to slow down slowly, and began to seek stability.
Strive to cause the greatest damage to the gates of the Great Qiandu City with the minimum loss.
Clearly, the other side's strategy was successful.
As the defender of the city, he must pull at the city gate and the other party, no matter how outstanding Huo Qiji's military attainments are, this will not change.
And since it is to pull at the city gates, then the city gates will definitely be destroyed!
Unless... They went out of the city to fight the 300,000 iron horsemen of Beiyan!
But, as everyone knows, this is impossible.
"General Huo? Haven't slept yet? Wei Qing also put on thin clothes and walked up to the city wall.
These days, his inner worries have eased a little.
It's not that I feel like I have the chance to win, but because I'm numb.
Huo Qiji had already told him that the gate of this capital city was bound to be given up one day.
So he was different from the soldiers on the city wall, he knew Huo Qiji's entire battle plan.
Only by relying on the cooperation of these two cadres in the last day can they only rely on 30,000 veterans and 20,000 new soldiers to garrison until now!
Yes, 20,000 recruits have also gone to the walls! Start cooperating with the construction of fortifications!
And it was precisely because of their presence that the number of dead and wounded in the Daqian army began to soar.
There's no way around it.
Recruits must go through the trials of blood and fire, and watch the robes who used to laugh and scold and play together die one after another in front of their eyes in order to grow into a qualified veteran.
Huo Qiji nodded, and then asked, "How is the tung oil and hay collected?" Have you ever lived up to the standards of this general? ”
When Wei Qing heard this, his expression suddenly became solemn, and he said sternly: "Are you ready to abandon the city?" ”
Huo Qiji nodded, and did not deny it: "Although the gate of Qiandu City is heavy, it can't withstand their indiscriminate bombardment for several days in a row, in my opinion, as long as the other party still maintains the rhythm at the beginning, I'm afraid that in a few days, this city gate will have to be breached." ”
"Rather than this, it is better to give this gate to them along with that great gift!"
Hearing this, Wei Qing took a deep breath, his expression a little depressed.
How long has it been since the first line of defense has been breached?
But he also knew that it was not Huo Qi's illness that he was not strong, it was really difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.
As long as Huo Qiji is given 100,000 people, he dares to go out of the city directly to fight the other party.
Or take 10,000 men and fight guerrilla warfare with the other side in a steep terrain.
But it was a battle to defend the city under the condition of an incomparable difference in strength, and I have to say that this can be regarded as Huo Qiji's weakness.
But even if it is a weakness, it is relatively speaking, and it is much stronger than those military attaches and the like left in the court.
Therefore, not only did he not blame Huo Qiji, but he didn't even have such an idea.
He was simply discouraged.
But soon, he adjusted his mentality, nodded, and said, "How many days will it start?" ”
"Three days later!"
"Good! I'm going to evacuate the people. ”
"Don't forget, arrange ambushes in the streets and alleys of Zhengde Sanfang."
"Ambush soldiers only use new recruits."
Wei Qing nodded, turned around and left, leaving Huo Qiji alone to look at the dark night.
……
Three days later.
Northern Yan Iron Cavalry Battalion.
Murong Yan listened to the reports of his subordinate generals and nodded with satisfaction.
"Ladies and gentlemen, according to you, our steady strategy has been very effective."
"The city walls of the Great Qiandu City are indeed strong and abnormal, but after several days of wear and tear, I am afraid that they are already on the verge of collapse!"
"Tomorrow, let's go into the city and attack the palace in one go!"
When the generals heard this, their eyes suddenly showed excitement, excitement, and cruelty.
"What about after you enter the city?" Someone asked what was on everyone's mind.
Some people frowned slightly, some people grinned even more, and some people were extremely excited.
"Naturally, slaughter the city!"
Finally someone said what was on everyone's mind.
Suddenly, the entire tent fell silent.
Everyone's eyes converged on Murong Yan.
One, two, three.
After three breaths, the commander of the 300,000 army of Northern Yan did not object!
The generals were completely relieved and had begun to fantasize about tomorrow's slaughtering feast.
Just like three hundred years ago, that Great Ancestor entered their imperial city and slaughtered their ancestors!
I don't know if the overlord could have thought that in a few years, his children and grandchildren would also be slaughtered one day!
However, just as the generals wanted to get into trouble, the herald gasped and ran into the tent.
"Governor Qiyu, it's not good!"
As soon as these words came out, the originally cheerful and happy atmosphere in the handsome tent suddenly stagnated.
Murong Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, not angry: "What's the matter?" ”
"There was a lot of movement in the capital city, and the small ones came forward to check and found that the Suzaku Gate in the southern city had been opened."
"The other party led a lot of elite soldiers and strong generals to kill, and killed a lot of our guards in the southern city."
"Then, many people in the city fled!"
Rumble!
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the handsome tent suddenly became tense to the extreme.
Several generals stood up directly, looked at Murong Yan, and waited for him to give an order.
Murong Yan also frowned slightly, her face was a little ugly.
In these days of siege, he has long realized that the opposing party's defending generals are not weak.
On the contrary, he has no less than him in military affairs, and even surpasses his attainments.
In the face of such an opponent, it is obviously very unwise to disperse forces and attack the four walls at the same time.
Therefore, their main attack was the Northern Xuanwu Gate.
In contrast, the siege of the other three gates was relatively weakened.
This is what makes the other party find an opportunity.
But if you can get out, can you really get out?
"Humph! Passing on the order of the commander, he sent a team of men and horses to hunt down the remnants who ran out of the Qiandu City. ”
"The rest of the people, follow me to attack the city!"
"Take advantage of the night and go straight into the city!"
"No!"
The quality of Beiyan's 300,000 iron horsemen is indeed not low, at least the order and prohibition can still be done.
Soon, an army of several thousand men left the base camp and pursued in the direction of those who had fled.
The rest of the more than 100,000 troops launched a fierce attack on the Xuanwu Gate in the north!
However, what happened next was something they never imagined!
