All moats.

The people in the city are the same as usual, they can do whatever they want, it is very lively, at this time, Zhao Shen, who is sitting in the city, is not as calm as it seems, and from time to time summons the patrolling soldiers to inquire about the situation.

The patrol soldiers thought it strange that according to common sense, their patrols were on a fixed shift, and even if they were occasionally drawn by their superiors, they would not be as frequent as they are today.

Although he was puzzled, who made Zhao Shen the supreme governor of the city, and the chief asked questions, it was a little troublesome, but he would still send someone to answer.

Everything outside the city was calm, and there was no movement.

Zhao Shen nodded and motioned for his soldiers to retreat, but he was a little anxious in his heart.

Before leaving, Su Qi'an dispatched half of the men and horses of the seven military towns and followed him westward, with obvious intentions, that is, to lure the snake out of the hole.

The seven military towns are empty, and Saktu's army will definitely seize this opportunity to raid Ganzhou, and most of them will choose to attack the capital to protect the city.

What Zhao Shen had to do was to use the city as bait and try his best to resist the raiding army in order to buy time for their negotiations.

Zhao Shen, who listened to this advice, looked confused, where did the army come from? Still raiding, the target is still the city of the city, they will be under a strong onslaught?

These unclear words made anyone confused, and it took a long time for them to come back to their senses.

But Zhao Shen's mind was still blank, not to mention anything else, as far as Su Qi'an said that Saktu's army would raid the city, this was something he couldn't even think about until now.

Saktu's army is not the border of Chen Bing, and the number of troops in his hands is only thirty or forty thousand, even if it is a surprise attack, there must be soldiers, so that thirty or forty thousand people can raid the city and protect the city, so where is there a little force around him.

And when, when can 30,000 or 40,000 troops enter from the border so smoothly and attack the capital city for a long time, isn't this a blind person who guards the several military towns in front of the capital and the city? Isn't this a fantasy?

Su Qi'an didn't explain to Zhao Shenduo, so he told that most of the troops sent by Saktu had already lurked in Ganzhou, and just waiting for an order, an army of thirty or forty thousand would immediately raid.

If Zhao Shen wants to hold on no matter what, he must hold out until Saktu's army takes the initiative to withdraw.

Zhao Shen sat in the middle hall of the mansion, his eyes flashing, and his mind kept echoing what Su Qi'an said.

Although he didn't understand and didn't believe it, he still did what Su Qi'an asked, after all, he was an overseer and had the right to command all important military and political affairs in the two northwestern states.

Cooperate and cooperate, but Zhao Shen was uneasy in his heart, and for such a big thing as the transfer of troops, he didn't say hello at all, so he took it all away.

If this is a surprise attack according to the plan that Su Qi'an thought, maybe it is nothing, and he can handle it smoothly, but once it is not what Su Qi'an thinks, then he can't afford the consequences of this army transfer.

You must know that the troop allocation of the seven military towns in Ganzhou is strictly divided, but now that half of them are directly transferred, the defense of the seven military towns is definitely much weaker.

If there was any accident and he didn't storm the city to protect the city, but fought other military towns, then Zhao Shen would really die.

As time passed, two hours had passed, not to mention the raid, not even the slightest movement, as usual, very calm and peaceful.

Zhao Shen's eyes flashed, he couldn't sit still, pacing back and forth in the mansion, just when he couldn't help it, he was about to write a letter, and the flying pigeon passed the book to Wang Zhenshan, who was negotiating at the border, to report this important matter.

Suddenly, outside the mansion, hurried footsteps accompanied by panicked shouts sounded.

"My lord, my lord, it's not good, according to the investigation report, around the capital moat, a large number of unknown Hui evil troops suddenly appeared, and they are hurrying towards the capital moat."

Zhao Shen was stunned, grabbed the arms of the soldiers who came to report, and hurriedly asked.

"What you say is true? There are really a large number of Hui evil army raids to protect the city! ”

The soldier nodded in affirmation.

"My lord, this matter is true, there are really a large number of Hui evil army, out of nowhere, the number is at least tens of thousands, and it is estimated that it is only about three or four miles away from the city."

Zhao Shen did not have a tense look on his face, but instead showed a relaxed look, as if a big stone in his heart was put down.

He regained his normal color, his eyes stared, looked at the soldier in front of him, and said loudly.

"Okay, the biography will order, all the five thousand old soldiers in the city will go up to the city tower, and the people's team in the city will immediately take action to provide logistical support, and the rest of the people will be closed doors, and those who violate the order will be engaged in military law."

"At the same time, send orders to the ten nearby military forts, asking for support, and the other seven military towns, let the local militia take over the security of the city, and all the defenders in the city will rush to protect the city as soon as possible, and rush to help, if there is anyone who does not arrive, it should be beheaded!"

Hearing the order, the report soldier hurriedly turned around and left, and Zhao Shen, who was standing in place, sighed in his heart.

"God, God is really God, Su Overseer is really a god, and he was really counted!"

"No, this time the army is coming, and the general must rush to the front line!"

Thinking of this, Zhao Shen did not stay in the house, wearing armor and a saber at his waist, and strode towards the city tower.

The surprise attack of the Hui Evil Army was what Zhao Shen was looking forward to, but this battle was also not easy to fight.

As Su Qi'an estimated, there are at least thirty or forty thousand people, even if the combat strength of the Hui evil army is not as good as that of the old soldiers in Ganzhou, but with only 5,000 people, it is difficult to resist.

Therefore, according to the plan given to him by Su Qi'an before leaving, he rushed to the soldiers who stayed in the seven military towns and about 10,000 people, and at the same time, there were also more than 10,000 people in the militia who cooperated with the ten nearby military forts.

In addition, in the city, 30,000 men and horses can be gathered, and with the defense of the city, it should be able to resist it.

For this raid, Zhao Shen felt a little uncertain, especially when he heard Su Qi'an say that there was an unknown number of army raids, Zhao Shen's heart tightened.

At first, he asked Su Qi'an, since there was a guess, why didn't he take the initiative to attack, just wait for the other party to surprise attack, and be beaten passively, no matter how you look at it, this is not the best strategy to lead troops to fight and command.

Zhao Shen's doubts, Su Qi'an didn't sell Guanzi, and said bluntly, "There is speculation, but I don't know where these people are distributed, if you send troops to conduct a large-scale search, you will definitely be startled, and then their movements will be even more elusive, and it will also be dangerous to the border negotiations." ”

"Instead of this, it is better to take the initiative to release the bait, and the city is the bait."

Echoing in his ears what Su Qi'an said, Zhao Shen had only one word in his heart for this overseer who only had a one-sided relationship.

After coming to the border of Ganzhou, it was less than ten days and half a month, and the battle situation in Ganzhou was very different from them, but just by relying on some daily military reports and inquiries, you could guess the abnormal movements of Saktu.

Even their hidden forces can see through one or two, what is such a person who is not a god?

Although he is currently under a lot of pressure, it can be said that the soldiers are approaching the city, as if he is facing a great enemy, but he wants Su Qi'an to anticipate the enemy first, as well as various arrangements, and his tense heart has relaxed somewhat.

This battle is not only for the people of Ganzhou, but also for the overseers and capital protectors who negotiate on the border to buy time.

"No matter how big the casualties are, in addition to their own death, they must buy time for the two adults!"

Zhao Shen had already made up his mind in his heart, and with the gallop of the carriage, Zhao Shen finally came to the main city gate, and he stepped on the steps and came to the city tower.

Looking at the endless desert plains in front of him, the army of black oppression is like a sand and dust storm approaching step by step, accompanied by a cold cold wind, giving people a strong aura of slaughter.

Zhao Shen put his hand on the hilt of the knife, pulled it out directly, and shouted at the many old soldiers around him.

"Brothers, I have been here in Ganzhou for so many years, and the prestige of my Ganzhou army has been mostly forgotten by these little cubs, and now these little cubs from the Western Regions not only invade the border, but also raid the capital to protect the city, this is a slap in the face, what should we do?"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

On the tower of the city, the old soldiers and people on standby in the city all let out an earth-shattering roar, and the sound echoed, giving people a strong feeling.

"Well said, let these little cubs know who is the master in the Ganzhou territory!"

"The whole army obeys the order and beats Lao Tzu hard!"

The order was given, and the next moment, catapults prepared in all directions in the city fired boulders one after another and threw them away.

The air was mixed with the sound of whirring wind, and the boulder was wrapped in a powerful force, and it smashed into the flow of people, and suddenly people turned on their backs, and there was a wail.

But even so, it did not frighten these raiding Hui evil army, they have been lurking in Ganzhou for so long, waiting for today.

Don't look at the attack of the capital city, but the strength of the city is only a few thousand, even if they have already asked for help from the nearby military towns and military forts, it will take a while to really come.

This siege has a full 40,000 soldiers and horses, and if they can't take the city in front of them, they can go directly to die.

Boulders, mixed with arrows shot from the sky, kept charging towards their army, but the more powerful they were, the more excited these evil armies were, and they all rushed towards the city with a scream.

At the same time, they are fighting and fighting back.

However, in a short period of time, the originally quiet area of the city was instantly ignited by the flames of war.

Tens of thousands of Hui evil armies continued to pour in from all directions, each of them fearless of death and frantically attacking.

The battle between the two sides reached a fever pitch in an instant, and they both understood the importance of the city in front of them.

If the Hui evil army takes it, it will not only realize the strategic value of threatening the seven military towns of Ganzhou through the capital moat, but also realize a strong blow to the Daliang court.

The capital of Ganzhou has existed for at least 100 years, and its strategic value is self-evident, and it also has great value in external publicity.

The two northwestern states can always be stable and free from turmoil, and it is of great value to protect the city, and after so many years, it has long become the sustenance in the hearts of the people of the two northwest states.

If the capital is taken, it will inevitably deal a huge blow to the Daliang Imperial Court, and at the same time, externally, what will the northern Darong, the southeast Fusang, and the southwestern barbarians who have been temporarily stabilized think?

will definitely adjust the treatment policy of Da Liang, and it is likely to change from cautious and tentative to taking the initiative to invade.

After all, Da Liang's piece of fat, they have been reading it for many years, and now that they have this opportunity, how can they not take a hard bite.
