A month later.

Dozens of goshawks hovered over Qingyuan County, hovering in circles between the extremely high and far sky.

On the head of the ruined city, the soldiers drooped their heads and sighed.

Gao Dajun held a flintlock pistol in his hand, aimed at the sky and circled the goshawk, pulled the trigger, and "bang".

Unfortunately, the goshawk flew too high, and even a flintlock pistol missed.

Looking around, there were demoralized soldiers all around, tall and arrogant, pointing at them and scolding:

"Wake up! Wake up! They all hang their heads and do nothing! Look at your bears now, like a lost breed! We repelled Di Gou's attack a full seventy-three times, a full seventy-three! The city is still in our hands, and we have won the battle! ”

"The enemy army is several times larger than me, we have been defending the city for more than a month, this battle is going to be written into the history books, maybe, you and I will also be written into the history books, this is a glorious thing!"

Gao Dajun raised his arms high and said loudly: "Glory Ancestor—"

"But there are no reinforcements! Our people are almost done fighting. ”

The soldier on the side muttered in a low voice.

As soon as these words came out, Gao Dajun's face collapsed instantly, and the whole person seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and he sat down and didn't speak again for a long time.

Oh, yes!

There are no reinforcements in Qingyuan County, and the soldiers defending the city are almost finished.

Even if they have flintlock pistols and artillery in their hands, there are too many enemy troops, and they are too crazy.

If this continues, Qingyuan County will break the city sooner or later!

Sooner or later, Beidi will plant a flag at the head of the city!

Without reinforcements, it is the biggest blow in everyone's hearts!

Moreover, according to the latest news, the Wu-Chu coalition army has crossed the river, and the originally calm southern states have also fallen into the flames of war.

At the same time, Dongying and Goguryeo also sent troops, and the reserve soldiers of Dongying and Shandong were handed over, and it was heard that they were evenly matched.

However, Goguryeo sent heavy troops to attack Jinzhou, and the soldiers and civilians of Jinzhou suffered heavy casualties, and I heard that they would not be able to hold it immediately.

All sorts of unfavorable news came and the morale of the soldiers hit rock bottom.

"General Gao, please go to the meeting."

Someone came to shout.

Hearing this, Gao Dajun supported his tired body, slowly stood up, and followed the man to the camp.

"Why are you here alone, General Wu?" Chen Chao looked at Gao Dajun who came in and asked.

"Dead, died last night, an accident, was held by Di Gou and fell off the city, fell to his death." Gao Dajun said bitterly.

For a moment, the people in the tent fell silent.

Chen Chao took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

This battle has exceeded his expectations, and the Beidi people have been attacking day and night, one after another, leaving him exhausted.

Suddenly, an adjutant general hurried over, his face uneasy, came to the camp tent and said, "Report! The Beidi army has assembled again, and it will attack again in half an hour at most! ”

Everyone's faces changed.

Chen Chao exhaled a breath of turbidity, looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Let all the soldiers who can fight go up to the city wall, all the equipment can be carried on the city wall, be careful with the bows and arrows of the Di people, don't take the head easily, and preserve the vitality ......"

Chen Chao skillfully gave instructions one after another.

He can't remember how many times he said these words in the past month.

After a while, the generals received orders to quickly leave the camp tent and perform their duties.

After the people left, the tent fell silent for a moment.

probably knew that this battle was not easy to fight, and after a long while, Jiang Linglong, who was still in the camp, spoke: "It's the first time I've seen you like this, so uneasy, in this way, this battle has greatly exceeded your expectations." ”

"yes, this battle has greatly exceeded my expectations." Chen Chao repeated, still sitting in the chair, just slowly reaching out and holding his forehead with both hands, as if he didn't want to face the current situation.

Long before the start of the Great War, the Chen Dynasty had done a situation analysis.

Beidi is a nomadic people, not good at attacking cities, although their own troops are less than Beidi, but in the siege war, as long as they can hold on for a month and a half, wait for the Qin State Meng Guogong to send troops to Xirong, Qin Zhengyang Army entered through Yunzhou, thousands of miles to aid the capital, plus Murong Chong turned the rear of Beidi upside down.

In this battle, it was the Daji side that won.

However, so far, there has been no good news!

The bad news comes one after the other.

Chen Chao originally thought that Wu, Chu, Dongying, and Goguryeo would only wait and see and would not send troops.

After all, from beginning to end, they did not transfer troops from all over Daji to help the capital, and even if they sent troops to attack, they would not be able to reap any benefits.

But as a result, they all sent troops, and they didn't know what benefits Beidi had promised them.

Seeing Chen Chao's appearance, Jiang Linglong groaned:

"The matter has come to this, it is useless to regret it, the top priority is to hold Qingyuan City."

"We don't have enough troops."

"In the bitter battle in January, Beidi climbed the city wall several times and started a white-knuckle battle with us, our troops were seriously depleted, and there was not much ammunition."

Jiang Linglong knocked on the table and said:

"There are millions of people in the capital, even the people of Qingyuan County have hundreds of thousands, let the court tell the world that the country is in trouble, and it is the responsibility of the husband to let the people climb the city wall to fight."

Chen Chao frowned: "Untrained people, going to the city wall will only be a burden, and at that time, it will only be used for Di people to sharpen their knives." ”

"But they do, don't they?"

Jiang Linglong said word by word: "Isn't everything you have done all these years for them, they won't forget, they are willing to fight for Daji!" ”

"Forget it, let's talk about it......"

At this point, the matter of the troops came to an end, Jiang Linglong looked at Chen Chao and said: "I said before that this battle is the best time for you to get rid of the dragon blood Gu on your body, this time, I came with Emperor Ji, and she is in the city." ”

"You need to be seriously injured once, and all those violent true qi will be released."

Chen Chao was silent, but he agreed.

.....

Outside Qingyuan County.

The sky was blue, and the dense Beidi army gathered again, this time, Yelu Wu did not hide her identity again, but rode on a war horse openly, so that all the Beidi soldiers could see her.

After a bitter battle in January, a small county town has always been standing.

She is very angry, today she is going to personally lead the troops to attack!

When Jeruwu drew his scimitar from his scabbard, he was about to give the order for the army to attack.

Unexpectedly, he was attracted by a ride that stepped forward beside him.

This is a stout man in armor, and he wears a hat made of wolf head on his head, which means that his status is extremely noble in the grassland.

Yelu Wu frowned: "Why are you here?" Didn't you put you in charge of feints against Qingshan County, just leave it to me here. ”

King Xirong squinted his eyes, looked at the dilapidated city of Qingyuan County in the distance, and said without looking at Yelu Wu: "It's been a whole month, you have led the main force, and you haven't captured this small county town in front of you, Yelu Wu, it's this king who misjudged you." ”

Yelu Wu stared at him, very displeased

King Xirong continued: "The Qin army took advantage of the emptiness of my Xirong and sent troops into the territory of my Xirong, my father died, my son died, in addition, a Daji army turned the rear of your Beidi upside down, and more than 80 people from your Beidi were arrested, how long do you have to hide this news?" ”

Faced with the questioning of King Xijon.

Yeluwu gritted her teeth and remained silent.

The stout King Xirong continued: "Okay, these kings can not worry about you, this king knows that you deliberately concealed these news from the soldiers and the king, and you don't want to disturb the morale of the army, this king understands, as long as you can take the capital, it doesn't matter." ”

"So, this king is here, and this king personally leads the army to attack the city!"
