Chapter 672: Aries' Mouth
The days went on like this, and after a while, more and more people fled from the north.
Hordes of people fled to the capital, knelt down in front of the city gates, and howled and begged to be taken in.
After confirming their identities, the government did not embarrass them much and temporarily found them a place to settle down.
Every day, Hongling soldiers on fast horses galloped into the city to convey the battle situation in the north.
The atmosphere in the court hall was very dull.
Late that night, Chen Chao was still asleep, so he was temporarily summoned into the palace.
A huge pair of ground hangs, and the officers of the military department paint on it, and formulate strategies to stop the enemy.
Several scholars stood on the side, although they were not proficient in warfare, but they all looked at the map, all of them with serious faces and silence.
Chen Chao stepped through the door of the main hall and walked straight in.
Someone immediately sent the military report:
"Xiangye! The military situation is urgent, and the Beidi army has 500,000 troops this time, and the troops are divided into three routes! ”
"The Eastern Route Army has 70,000 soldiers and horses, attacking Miyun from the direction of Gubeikou, more than 120,000 troops from the direction of Gubeikou, attacking Juyong Pass from the direction of Xuanfu, and the rest is the Western Route Army, led by Princess Beidi herself, they have captured Datong, Yanghe, and are now attacking Baiyangkou!"
"The war is tight everywhere, and it is imminent!"
This is all the information about the Beidi army so far.
In short, the Great Era is losing and retreating, and it is powerless to stop it.
After reading all the information, Chen Chao frowned and sighed in his heart...... The king of Xinjiang was the commander of the army, and he really didn't disappoint me, the speed of Beidi's march was really unimaginable.
Chen Chao found a place to sit down, and when everyone else was anxious and wanted to jump up on the spot, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
……
……
Late at night, Aries Mouth.
At the head of the city, the king of Xinjiang looked at the retreating Beidi army under the city, and squinted slightly.
"Congratulations to the prince, once again repelled the Beidi army."
"The main force of Beidi will definitely be blocked by our army in Baiyangkou!"
"The prince will definitely be able to make immortal achievements again!"
It was Huang Shu, the deputy general of the king of Xinjiang, who spoke and did not see him when he was guarding the city, and after the Beidi people retreated, he didn't know where he came out, and he bowed his hand to the king of Xinjiang again and again, complimentingly.
"Be careful, Di Dog is cunning." The king of Xinjiang said lightly, and then walked down the city wall with several personal guards.
Only the deputy general Huang Shu showed off his might at the head of the city, made his own decisions, and commanded the soldiers to build the city wall and carry the corpses.
Seeing the king of Xinjiang lead people down the city wall, Gao Dajun, the captain of the "Weizi Battalion" of the Xu Jiajun, struggled to support his body, took off the bloody helmet on his head, and slowly sat down against the city wall. After only a few days of defending the city, half of the soldiers defending the city were buried, and the battle was extremely tragic and extremely poor.
"Gao Dajun, take your people and go to the east to build a city wall, in case Di Gou sneaks up from the east at night." Huang Shu pressed the handle of the knife, swaggered over, and pointed at Gao Dajun to give an order.
Before Gao Dajun could speak, Gao Dajun's personal guard said:
"Vice Adjutant Huang, the enemy army will not attack the city from the east city. If you have the manpower, you might as well build here. ”
"Hey! Are you teaching the lieutenant to fight? ”
Huang Shu said "hey", couldn't help but say, kicked on the extremely tired guard, the guard was not very good for a while, and almost fell off the city, but fortunately, the tall man quickly pulled a handful, so he didn't fall down and fell directly into the pulp.
After some narrowly escaped death, the guards were instantly angry, and they got up to argue, but Gao Dajun reached out and pressed his shoulder.
Taking a breath, Gao Dajun said to Huang: "Let's go." ”
Huang Shu gave up and went elsewhere to show off his might.
After the person left, the guards were still indignant, gritted their teeth and said: "Captain, let's take care of what this person does, marching and fighting, this person doesn't understand bullshit." ”
Gao Dajun didn't say so much, and raised his hand to signal the soldiers to follow him and go to the east to build the city wall.
After walking farther, Gao Dajun said: "After a few days of fighting to the death, the brothers are so exhausted that they can't even take care of drinking saliva, so it's good to rest in Dongcheng for the night." ”
Only then did the guards understand Gao Dajun's intentions, nodded, and asked the brothers behind him to speed up.
……
At the end of the night, when the day dawns.
The cool wind blew at the head of the city, and the soldiers held their weapons and curled up at the head of the city to take a nap to replenish their strength.
"Captain, I notice something is wrong." Early in the morning, the guards walked quickly from a distance, came to Gao Dajun's side, squatted down, and whispered: "Since last night, the brothers who have been fighting the main force have been transferred to Dongcheng by Huang Shu one after another. Now in the direction of Beidi's main attack, the defenders of the city are all old, weak, sick and disabled, how can they hold it? ”
"Don't talk nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense, Captain, I don't believe you." Following the fingers of the guards, Gao Dajun saw several familiar faces not far away, all of whom were the commanders of the most elite battalions in the Baiyangkou garrison.
Gao Dajun looked startled and sat up straight suddenly.
Secretly said that it was not good.
"Captain, what's that!"
Just as he was about to get up, he heard an exclamation from the guard, and Gao Dajun turned around.
In an instant, Gao Dajun's body was half cold, as if he had been struck by lightning.
I saw that in the direction of Xicheng, several wolf smoke rose.
"Wolf smoke, wolf smoke is up." Someone trembled, "It's a signal for Beidi to attack, Beidi is going to attack the city." ”
This sentence plunged several captains who were transferred to several main battalions in Dongcheng last night into an unknown panic.
They are all in the east city, and the west city is close to the old, weak, sick and disabled, how can they hold the offensive of Beidi?
In the distance, Beidi's dull horn sounded, and the Beidi army began to attack the city.
"Go, go to the rescue!" Gao Dajun pulled his throat, the first to pick up the war knife in his hand, and ran in the direction of Xicheng, and the others followed closely, hoping that Xicheng would hold on for a long time, and wait for them to arrive.
