Chapter 252: Abandoning the City One after Another! Peking has become a lonely city!
"Lord Shizi, Baoding City is lost!"
"Report - Shizi Ye, Yongping Mansion is lost!"
In the Yanwang Palace, a famous armor soldier rushed in.
After hearing this, Zhu Gaochi just nodded lightly, indicating that he knew.
Baoding Mansion and Yongping Mansion were lost, which was in their plan, so they didn't feel any surprises.
Monk Daoyan stroked his beard and said in a deep voice: "Next, what we have to face will be the most dangerous battle!"
"As soon as Baoding Mansion and Yongping Mansion are lost, the southern army can drive straight in, and General Gu Cheng and General Chen Heng abandoned the city one after another and fled, and the news that His Royal Highness King Yan was not in Beiping could not be hidden from Li Jinglong."
"If it is not surprising, Li Jinglong will lead an elite army of 500,000 to Beiping directly, without giving our army any respite!"
Jin Zhong, Yuan Hui, Zhang Hao, Guo Zi and others all nodded, and they were equally clear about this truth.
Abandoning the city and fleeing this kind of thing, in fact, it doesn't happen much, not to mention that Gu Cheng and Chen Heng are both famous generals in the world, but they directly abandoned the city and fled, and the southern army is not all fools, where can they not guess the catty of this.
But even so, the purpose of the Yan army was at least achieved, delaying the southern army for more than half a month.
If you calculate the time, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, should have made some gains at this moment, and the next battle will determine the ownership of Beiping City, and the life and death of the Yan army!
Zhu Gaochi sighed, and asked instead, "How is the preparation of the grain and grass?"
"Don't worry." Zhang Yu gave the answer, "The grain and grass of the three prefectures have been transferred to Beiping City, which is enough for the soldiers and civilians of Beiping to eat and drink in March!" ”
"Well, well done!" Zhu Gaochi nodded.
"In terms of troops, it's still a little insufficient!"
There's no way around it.
Zhu Di took away the main force of the Yan army, leaving Zhu Gaochi with 40,000 troops to defend the city.
Previously, Chen Heng and Gu Cheng led 10,000 troops to garrison Yongping City and Baoding City respectively, and they defended it for more than half a month, with heavy casualties among the soldiers, and there were only more than 10,000 people left in the 20,000 army.
In this way, there will only be 30,000 soldiers in Beiping City, and they will face Li Jinglong's 500,000 army.
30,000 against 500,000, even if he held on to the city, Zhu Gaochi was a little bottomless in his heart now.
The difference in strength is too big!
If Li Jinglong is determined to capture Beiping City, then they will definitely not be able to defend it!
"Gentlemen, do you have a good plan?"
Zhu Gaochi opened his mouth again to ask for a plan, hoping that these wise men could give a strategy to defend against the enemy.
But it was obvious that he was going to be disappointed, and Dao Yan Jin Zhong and the others all shook their heads with a wry smile.
In the face of the absolute disparity in strength, any conspiracy is empty talk!
If 30,000 fought against 100,000, Monk Daoyan asked himself that even if he couldn't win the battle, he could save himself.
But now, the Yan army is facing a full 500,000 army, or elite soldiers drawn from all over the country!
In this battle, there was no way to fight at all, so he could only retreat in Beiping City and wait until Zhu Di, the king of Yan, led the army back to help.
Zhu Gaochi was a little depressed, but he also understood that this was the truth.
As the saying goes, "it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice", he can't let Jin Zhong Daoyan conjure up an army of four or five hundred thousand for him!
After ending this discussion, Zhu Gaochi always felt a little uneasy in his heart.
The main reason is that the pressure brought to him by the 500,000 army is too great.
Before Zhu Di left, he handed over the Beiping City to him Zhu Gaochi, and also gave the final bottom line, as long as he held Beiping City.
Zhu Gaochi didn't want to disappoint his father, and he didn't want Yan Jun to become a lost dog, so he had to defend this Beiping City.
After thinking about it, Zhu Gaochi's head was hot, and he went straight to Xishan.
When he was undecided, he asked Su Yang.
When he arrived at Suyang's small courtyard, he happened to see a room full of glass products, and Zhu Gaochi's eyes were so shocked that his eyes were about to pop out.
"Brother-in-law, you ......"
"It's just a little bit of a gadget that can improve the quality of life!"
Su Yang smiled lightly.
After his personal guidance as a Su technician, Xishan Glass Workshop has successfully mastered the glass firing process, but some details are not in place, and it is still necessary to continue to experiment and accumulate experience, but it is not a problem to fire some glass products.
Zhu Gaochi looked at those crystal clear glasses, and his eyes couldn't be taken away.
"Ahem, brother-in-law, can you send me a few......"
"Pick which one you like, and then burn it."
Su Yang shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
"But there is one thing, these things can only be used for their own use, and they must not be spread to the market!"
Su Yang warned with a solemn expression, which made Zhu Gaochi very puzzled.
"Why?"
"This glass is crystal clear, and it can definitely beat the glass."
"Once glass is pushed into the market, it will be a mountain of gold and silver!"
It's not that he is greedy for money, but that he is puzzled by Su Yang's approach.
Su Yang chuckled lightly and explained, "Is there any point?"
"Just relying on anthracite, Xiaowan and I already don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and no matter how much money we make, there is no point."
"Moreover, the promotion of glass is just to make money from your own family, but when the Battle of Jingjing is over and the imperial court resumes the tribute, the meaning is completely different!"
That's right, make money from overseas vassals!
From the very beginning, Su Yang was not ready to promote glass in Daming.
First, there is no need for this, because there are too many of them, and they will always be saturated.
The second is to earn your own family's money, how can you make money from outsiders comfortably.
Zheng He went to the West and brought these glass products, not to mention that he would have to make a thousandfold profit, otherwise he would be sorry for Technician Su's hard guidance during this time.
The big fat fat was stunned when he heard this, and then slapped his head.
"If you don't say it, I really forgot."
"The imperial army has been killed, Baoding Mansion and Yongping Mansion have been lost one after another, and only one Beiping remains!"
"Brother-in-law, what should we do now? The 500,000 troops of the imperial court smashed the Yellow Dragon, and Beiping City was afraid that it would not be able to hold it! ”
The big fat came to Xishan in a hurry, just to ask Su Yang for advice.
I don't know why, he now trusts Su Yang more than anyone else.
When Su Yang heard the news, his face also changed slightly.
The imperial army came to besiege the city of Beiping, which happened in history.
It was because of Su Yang's arrival that there was a slight deviation.
But what was supposed to come is still coming.
"What else can I do? Hold on! ”
Su Yang sighed helplessly.
"The disparity in forces is too great for any conspiracy to make sense."
"The only way to do this is to stick to Beiping and wait for King Yan to lead the army back to help, so that there is a glimmer of life!"
"Of course, defending the city is also a science, you ask that Yan Shizi to ask Daoyan and Jin Zhong for advice."
When Zhu Gaochi heard this, he could only nod.
He was not disappointed in the slightest, after all, the gap in strength was here, even if Su Yang was an immortal, he would not be able to scatter beans into soldiers, right?
"That brother-in-law, you two will go to Beiping City with me!"
“???”
