Chapter 137: The Great War Starts
Early the next morning, Bibai dispatched an army of more than 150,000 people, known as 300,000 to the outside world, and went straight to the Central Acropolis.
Suddenly, the situation in Ningxia suddenly changed, and a big war was about to break out.
Zhang Whale was also terrified in Yuquan City, and he slept last night.
As a result, the next day there was a group of black-pressed cavalry outside.
It was none other than the cavalry led by the Rabbit.
Zhang Whale almost fainted with fright when he saw the flag on the opposite side, which was the Mongolian cavalry that attacked them that night.
The bloody scene of that day is still unforgettable, and if he hadn't run fast, he would have become a dry bone in the grave.
"W-what can I do about this?" Zhang Whale asked with a panicked face.
"Father-in-law, we don't have to worry, our defeat was because of a sneak attack from the opposite side, plus it was in a field battle."
"Now it's a siege war, and they can't fly up on their horses." Liu Chengsi hurriedly said with relief.
Like a drowning man, Zhang Whale suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw, and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, then I will hand over all the forces of Yuquan to you."
"If there's anything, you report it to me directly."
"Thank you father-in-law for your trust, and I will definitely live up to my father-in-law's expectations." Liu Chengsi saw that Zhang Whale relied on him so much, and his face was full of smiles.
At the same time, there was also a heat in his eyes, he was helpless in the army, if he caught Zhang Whale's thigh, his future in the future would be much better than now.
Thinking of this, Liu Chengsi was full of energy, and he was about to do a big job when he threw off his arms.
"Cheer me up, whoever dares to derelict his duties, don't blame me for being ruthless in military law." Liu Chengsi said proudly, judging the image of the pug in front of Zhang Whale before.
vividly interprets what it means to be a person before and after.
After Liu Chengsi made an inspection, he found that there were no major problems with the city defense.
Only then did he return to his big tent with his hands behind his back.
In Liu Chenghe's tent, the lights were bright at this time, and he was drinking and having fun with his cronies.
"Congratulations, my lord, now that I have won the trust of my father-in-law, I will soar in the future, just around the corner." A henchman smiled flatteringly.
Liu Chengsi was already in a good mood, but now he heard the compliment and the smile on his face was even worse: "Don't worry, if this official is prosperous, your future will definitely be indispensable." ”
"Then I'll thank the chief soldier first."
"Hahaha......"
As the night deepened, the candles in the tent were about to burn out, and a gust of wind blew, and the candles fluttered in the wind.
At this time, after three rounds of drinking, everyone was a little drunk.
An adjutant general said worriedly: "General, are you sure to hold the city this time?" ”
Liu Chengsi said with a smile: "If it is a field battle, I am naturally inferior to the Mongolian cavalry, but this is a siege battle." ”
"A cavalryman without a horse is like a toothless tiger, which has nothing to offer."
"The general is right, we rely on the city, even if there are more people, we are not afraid." The others patted their ass, for fear that they would be late and be hated by Liu Chenghe.
After a few people drank to the dark, they were carried back to the camp by their own men.
Early the next morning, outside the city of Yuquan.
At this time, the flags outside the city were all over the sky, and 30,000 cavalry stood neatly outside the city, and a gust of wind blew, setting off bursts of yellow sand.
The rabbit led the people to stand in the yellow sand, standing still, and the air was full of murderous atmosphere.
"Chief, shall we attack the city now?" One of the leaders asked respectfully.
"Let's besiege but not attack, and don't let the defenders of the city go to support the middle acropolis." The rabbit laughed slowly.
He is sick in the brain, so he will send his cavalry to attack the city, and being able to come and give Bibai a strong momentum is already righteous enough.
The slaughtering monk who is far away in Guangwu also has the same idea as the rabbit.
After all, their subordinates are very precious, and they are willing to be cannon fodder for Bibai.
In this way, the officers and troops of the two cities of Guangwu and Yuquan looked at each other affectionately across a wall with the Mongol cavalry.
For several days, every day the Mongol cavalry got up early, then came to walk around the city, and then returned to the camp, leaving the officers and soldiers a little confused.
"Mr. Liu, what do you mean by this thief army? Why do you just come and go every day? Zhang Whale saw the Mongolian cavalry for several days in a row, as if they had completed a certain task, and hurried away.
At this time, he couldn't help but muttered in his heart.
Therefore, I had to pull Liu Chengsi to ask what was going on.
"Enxiang, I think the thief army on the other side is afraid of us."
"Most of them are cavalry, and when a cavalry has no horses, it is naturally a toothless tiger." Liu Chengsi smiled with a sneer, and now he looked at Zhang Whale more than his own father.
"That's good, that's good, our family is still worried about them attacking the city." Zhang Whale breathed a sigh of relief as if he had survived the catastrophe.
In the past few days, he heard the Mongol cavalry coming, and he was so frightened that he woke up in his dream in the middle of the night for several days.
Now, I was relieved to hear that there was no siege on the other side.
"I can finally get a good night's sleep tonight." Zhang Whale said secretly in his heart.
Then, he smiled at Liu Chengsi and said, "Then our family will go down first, and I will bother Mr. Liu to help our family keep an eye on it." ”
"Eun Xiang walks slowly."
"Don't worry, I promise that I will never let a thief disturb you."
"Enxiang......" Liu Chengsi nodded at Zhang Whale's back and bowed.
It wasn't until Zhang Whale completely disappeared that he restrained the smile on his face, slowly got up, straightened his waist, and said in a deep voice: "Did you hear what Grandpa Zhang said?" ”
The generals nodded their heads again and again.
Liu Chengsi saw that the generals were convinced, and nodded with satisfaction.
Then, with his hands behind his back, he walked towards his tent.
"Something, I'm phew." After the generals saw Liu Chengsi go away, they couldn't help but scold.
Nothing happened overnight.
Early the next morning, Bibai's army finally arrived at the bottom of the Acropolis and surrounded Magui, at this time Magui had 40,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and the rebels had more than 150,000 people.
Zhang Yun looked at the number of people outside, and couldn't help but think of a sentence: "The advantage of 150,000 against 40,000 is mine." ”
"Stop!" Bibai waved his hand behind him, and a herald shuttled through the queue, conveying Bibai's order.
After a brief commotion, the whole team calmed down.
Although the army of Bibai is said to have 150,000, less than half of them can actually fight, and many of them are exiles.
It's fine if you fight with a tailwind, but once you encounter a headwind, I'm afraid you'll run backwards immediately.
After Bibai settled the army, he immediately called Xu Chao and Liu Dongyang to discuss the plan to attack the city.
"Two, I'll hand over the south gate and the north gate to you."
"How? Are you sure? Bibai laughed.
After the two glanced at each other, they said in a deep voice: "It's all up to the prince's orders." ”
"Hahaha... Well, well, it deserves to be the mainstay of my Ningxia army. Seeing that the two agreed so simply, they were not stingy with praise.
After giving some advice to the two of them, he told them to go down to rest and prepare for tomorrow's siege.
Liu Dongyang is in the big tent.
Liu Dongyang and Xu Chao sat opposite each other.
"Are we really cannon fodder for the old man?" Xu Chao said with a little dissatisfaction.
"Our 150,000 people fight less than 40,000 officers and soldiers, and it is naturally clear who wins and who loses." Liu Dongyang said confidently.
After Xu Chao heard this, he felt a lot better, but they already had a rift with Bibai, which was difficult to repair.
Now that the enemy is currently in the same boat, it is natural that they can help each other, and if there is no external threat, Bibai will be the first to attack them.
Liu Dongyang saw that Xu Chao wanted to speak and stopped, but he also understood what he was thinking, and smiled and said with relief: "When the time comes, it is not known who will kill the deer." ”
When Xu Chao heard this, he knew that Liu Dongyang still had a back hand.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have said this so confidently.
"Then I'll wait for your good news."
"Hahaha......"
Liu Dongyang smiled and nodded, and then looked in the direction of the Acropolis, revealing a trace of ruthlessness in his eyes.
After Liu Dongyang took the men and horses to rest, he took his family and horses to the north and south gates of the Central Acropolis early the next morning.
Liu Dongyang pulled out his sword, pointed at the city wall and shouted, "Charge me." ”
As soon as these words fell, many rebels hesitated like flies, carrying the ladder and running towards the city.
Zhang Yun on the city wall said in a cold voice: "Release the arrows." ”
For a while, arrows rained down.
The Great War Starts.
