Chapter 18: Send Me to Defend the City?
"The eldest prince's move was really unexpected, and it surprised everyone, and it was really a clever move. ”
Even Li Ziyuan praised Zhao Changqing so much, you can imagine what kind of turmoil it will cause in the eyes of others.
Without Zhao Changqing himself knowing, he became angry again.
In the past, others talked about Zhao Changqing's transformation from a gentleman to a self-defilement, but now when talking about him, everyone has to give a thumbs up, and the praise is hidden.
But Zhao Changqing himself was kept in the dark.
What self-defilement hides clumsy.
What is hidden.
It's all impure.
The succession of the three princes' gifts caused great fluctuations in the entire capital, and it stands to reason that this fluctuation should last for a long time, but by the second day, most people were not focusing on this matter.
There's no other reason for that.
The Chu army attacked the city.
And it's an onslaught.
The kind at all costs.
Dozens of trebuchets bombed in turn.
Above the sky, waves of sharp arrows flew in.
Immediately afterward, an endless number of enemy troops with no end in sight swooped down like tigers descending from the mountains.
The Great Wei Emperor hurriedly convened hundreds of civil and military officials in the capital to discuss.
Before that, he had already ordered Chen Qingzhi to hold the city.
In the capital, except for Chen Qingzhi, Cao Shen and a few other people, there is no one who can shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the city.
No one expected that the enemy army would use this kind of crowd tactics to attack the city at all costs, and there was an attitude of not breaking the city and vowing not to return it.
On the contrary, Zhao Changqing looked indifferent.
This was still his disguised expression.
In fact, this heart has already blossomed.
The Chu army doesn't seem to be very rubbish, it's right to storm Chang'an City, it's even more right at all costs, only if you attack the city, can Your Royal Highness dissuade your father from moving south!
The Great Wei Emperor sat on the dragon chair, watching the ministers turn their heads and ears, in a hurry, he still didn't say a word.
The newspapers of the defending army in front kept sending the latest news, but basically they were saying that no matter how fierce the enemy army was attacking the city, they would still hold the capital without giving up an inch of land.
But clear-eyed people understand that according to Chen Qingzhi's character, he did not say that he would win absolutely, so you can imagine how difficult it is to defend the city.
"Ladies and gentlemen, according to the speed of the Qinwang army in the south, the fastest army will not arrive in three days, so before that, we can only hold on to the town, who is willing to go to the top of the city to help General Chen Qingzhi?"
The Great Wei Emperor thought a lot, he racked his brains, but found that there was no one in the Manchu Dynasty who could be ordered to be in danger, and the situation was even more dangerous than the enemy vanguard besieged the city a few days ago.
From yesterday's battle report to today, after the opponent's rapid march, he did not rest, but brazenly launched an attack, which was too unexpected for everyone, and it was equivalent to taking himself by surprise.
At first, everyone thought that the other party wanted to learn Chen Qingzhi's tactics and surprise them, but after several fierce attacks by the other party, they finally found the clue.
That kind of play is completely killing 800 enemies and losing 1,000 yourself, regardless of any cost.
In the Chongde Palace, none of the ministers dared to provoke this big beam to face the battle, although in recent days, because of Chen Qingzhi, his side has won two battles in a row, but they are all small victories!
Before that, what price did Wei pay?
The military god died in battle, a group of generals who were the most capable of fighting in the northern towns were killed, and even the sword saint who claimed to be able to kill the enemy for thousands of miles on the rivers and lakes died, you must know that people are masters of the land immortal realm!
dragging a land immortal to death, this is the strength of the Chu army.
I'm really scared.
His Royal Highness the Great Prince saw the helpless expressions of the ministers, but he finally couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.
It doesn't matter if it's a laugh, everyone is looking at him.
After he laughed, he was suddenly stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.
It's over the calf, and it's not suffocating.
He thought that after this war, the emperor would inevitably move the capital, and then he would be able to take the opportunity to make a foolish value, but his thoughts were too far, the reality was too miserable, and he was a little too early to be happy.
Suddenly laughing at this time, isn't it obvious that you are gloating?
It's over, it's over.
I'm sorry, I didn't hold back.
He shut up and took two steps back, trying to keep his ministers from noticing.
However, everyone was watching his every move intently at the moment.
They were thinking.
Why would such a smart person as the eldest prince laugh at this moment? It is certainly not without purpose, but must have a deep meaning.
Could it be that the eldest prince is laughing at our performance in the face of enemy attacks and not daring to face the battle?
Not.
Could it be that he had already thought of a way to repel the enemy army?
Right!
It must be so!
Didn't Chen Qingzhi say that His Royal Highness the Great Prince was proficient in the art of military formations and was good at fighting?
His Royal Highness the Great Prince is so deeply hidden.
"Emperor, the enemy's attack on the city is like a bamboo, and the situation of our army is precarious, why are you laughing?" Emperor Great Wei also couldn't understand why Zhao Changqing suddenly laughed, so he secretly thought in his heart that he had found a way to repel the enemy army and laughed.
After all, the eldest prince has given people the impression that he is a man who knows the army in the past few days, and he is extremely smart.
Never laugh for no reason.
When Zhao Changqing heard his father's question, he was very helpless.
What to do?
Could it be that I laughed and played?
Definitely not.
?
I won't!
After thinking about it, he slowly spoke: "Father Qi, Erchen just thought of one thing, the enemy army must have reached the end of the road by attacking the city at such a cost, otherwise, they would never have made such an impulsive act." ”
He guessed.
Chen Qingzhi burned their grain and grass, what could they do without food? Of course they grabbed it when they were hungry, where could they be worthy of the richness of the capital?
It's me, and I'm going to attack the city!
But who would have expected that a casual guess by the eldest prince could make all the ministers fall into contemplation.
That's right!
There was a problem with the logistics of the enemy's troops.
That's why we want to end the war as soon as possible.
For the enemy, what is the premise for ending this war?
They have all reached this point, it is not an exaggeration to say that the mountains and rivers are exhausted, what else do we have to fear?
Drag!
If you drag them to a certain level, they will definitely be self-defeating.
The eldest prince is still smart!
In one sentence, the essence of the enemy's sudden and large-scale attack was revealed.
In fact, some people have thought of this truth, but the eldest prince just said it.
But they don't seem to be aware of a problem.
Even if you know, what can you do?
It would be in vain to find a way to repel the enemy army.
They seem to have a kind of blind dependence.
The eldest prince is so confident, there must be a way to break the enemy army.
Even the Great Wei Emperor had such thoughts.
And Zhao Changqing.
After hearing the whispers of the minister beside him, he fell into deep thought.
He always felt that something was wrong.
His Royal Highness was stunned by what he said casually?
Is there any mistake?
Even if that's right, what's so good about that?
I don't understand.
I really don't understand.
Is this a generation gap across a world?
After thinking for a long time, Emperor Wei said a sentence that made His Royal Highness the Great Prince tremble, and he was stunned for a long time and speechless.
"The eldest prince Zhao Changqing obeyed the order, I appointed you as the general of sweeping the north today, and I will be in charge of Chang'an's resistance to the enemy, and assist Chen Qingzhi in commanding all the soldiers in the capital to jointly resist the Chu army's siege. ”
By the time he reacted, he was already half a beat slower.
The people in the entire Chongde Hall were chanting the emperor's sage.
Although he reacted, he didn't understand what Emperor Wei said.
What does that mean?
Is it for us to guard the gates?
Is it for me to introduce the prince to guard the city gate?
Is it to let the main hall attack thousands of troops and horses viciously to guard the city gate?
Father...
Why don't you sacrifice me to heaven?
Die like this.
I don't want it anymore.
Life is gone, what do you want?
Do you know how fierce the Chu army is?
Even the generation of Sword Saints in the Land Immortal Realm was pitted to death, you let me go?
