Chapter 248: At Your Fingertips
The one who has the most opinions about Huyeli is probably Dalatan.
Dalatan once humiliated Huyeli in person, and it is impossible for Huyeli not to hold grudges.
After hearing Huyeli's words of intercession for himself, Dalatan was also a little surprised.
It stands to reason that it's already very good that you don't fall into the well, and you can still help yourself intercede?
No matter how you look at it, it's not very real.
"General, the next person in charge of attacking the city is his subordinates, let Lord Dalatan come here for his subordinates, and his subordinates will arrange for some elite people and Lord Dalatan to take the lead in charging, so that he can atone for his crimes. Huyeli said.
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
This is a plea, obviously for Dalatan's life.
When I got to Huyeli, how could Dalatan still have the life to come back?
"Exactly. Tugel said directly.
This made everyone who wanted to intercede speechless.
The general didn't want to give them a chance to continue to intercede.
Lin Xiqi and the others were patrolling the city wall, and the place ten miles away was lit by fire, which was the military camp of the Houyuan army.
The 100,000-strong army can be regarded as surrounding the county seat of Sandao County.
At present, it is not clear which direction of their main attack is.
"Beware of sneak attacks at night. Lin Xiqi said.
"Your Excellency, please rest assured, there are arrangements for the humble position. Hong Shangrong said.
Lin Xiqi nodded, Hong Shangrong is an expert in military affairs, and he mentioned it like this, and the specific situation still depends on Hong Shangrong's arrangement.
"When did you say that the Houyuan Tartars will attack the city. Lin Xiqi asked.
"Probably not tonight, tomorrow there will be action. Hong Shangrong said, "Their army is marching quickly, they need to rest, and the defeat of those 10,000 people during the day also needs to restore their morale." ”
"Wang Dong, you have to strengthen the collection of news from Hou Yuan, and there are those people in the rivers and lakes, I hope it can have a miraculous effect. Lin Xiqi said to Wang Dong beside him.
"Yes. Wang Dong said, "Regarding the news of Hou Yuan, my subordinates have just gotten some. As for the people who will attack the city tomorrow, you probably know who they are. ”
"Oh?" Lin Xiqi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who is it?"
"It should be Hebichen's brother-in-law Huyeli. Wang Dong said, "Although the subordinates have not yet received accurate news, Huyeli is in the army of the west, and Tuger will definitely take care of Huyeli." ”
"They think that our Sandao County will definitely not be able to defend it, and after breaking the city, they will burn and plunder it. Lin Xiqi chuckled.
Lin Xiqi understood what Wang Dong meant, generally speaking, it is not a good thing to attack the city, and the casualties are generally much more than those defending the city.
But if they think they can easily take a city, then it is a great achievement, and there is a great benefit.
The Later Yuan army would have great rewards for the army that was the first to break through the city, such as some of the property they looted could be kept for themselves.
This greatly stimulated the ferocity of these Later Yuan Tartar soldiers.
For so many years, every time they come to the border to plunder, they are unlikely to be blocked and counterattacked, for them, this time the siege of 100,000 troops, how long can a small county town last?
In addition, there has been a round of siege before, and there must be a lot of damage, and it is even more difficult to persevere.
No matter who comes to attack the city next, it will be a credit and a big benefit.
Huyeli's identity is destined to give him some face.
Such benefits should be given.
"Huyeli, damn it. After Hao Feng heard this name, his face was full of murderous aura.
"Lord Hao, don't worry, we will definitely avenge the revenge of Longle County. Lin Xiqi said.
Huyeli was the first to enter the county seat of Longle County, and it was he and his subordinates who slaughtered the city, and the people in the city suffered heavy casualties.
This is also what Hao Feng later learned from the people who escaped from Longle County.
The next day, the Houyuan army moved.
Lin Xiqi and the others stood on the north city wall, this is the main direction of attack of Hou Yuan, and the other party did not play any tricks at all, it was so blatant to gather men and horses and prepare to attack the city.
"Look down on us. Lin Xiqi pointed to the Houyuan army gathered in the distance and said.
"Not surprisingly, the main reason is that our officers and soldiers are really incompetent. Hao Feng sighed.
"Then we'll give them a surprise. Lin Xiqi said with a smile.
After everyone was stunned for a moment, they burst out laughing.
"Yes, they should be given an accident and let these damned Tartars know that not all of our soldiers in Great Xia are brave people. Hao Feng said.
"Defend the city. Hong Shangrong shouted.
The Houyuan army on the opposite side has already begun to move.
There were also Tartar sieges on the other three sides, but they were smaller in number and were only a containment.
In the direction of the North Gate, the Tartar soldiers gathered tens of thousands of people.
"The general is really eccentric, let's go first, this is to open the way for Huyeli. A 10,000-rider said in a low voice.
"No way, who made him the marshal's brother-in-law?" The other Wan Cavalry Commander beside him glanced at Hu Yeli not far away.
Huyeli is now in high spirits, shouting loudly over there, issuing various orders.
"You said that if we were not careful, we would be the first to attack the city, that would be interesting. ”
"Even if we can attack the city, you and I can't do this, this is left by the general to Huyeli, and you and I and others can only be used as foils. Another said.
"Damn it. ”
"Dalatan's fate is actually a warning to us from the General. ”
"I understand that it is also a taboo for us people to be together, and Huyeli just gave him a chance. ”
They all have a good relationship with these ten thousand riders, and Dalatan is the oldest of them among them.
Many times, if these ten thousand cavalry commanders join forces to oppose it, even Tugel will have a headache.
But this time, he wanted to use Huyeli's identity to warn his subordinates about these ten thousand cavalry commanders.
In addition, it can also give Huyeli benefits, which is the best of both worlds.
"My lord, the county seat of Sandao County was besieged by Dalatan for a long time yesterday, and now there are other people to consume the strength of the city defenders, and when we go up again, this city will be at our fingertips. A middle-aged man dressed as a civil official next to Hu Yeli said.
He was the military advisor of Huyeli, giving advice and making a plan for the march.
Hebichen knew that Huyeli didn't have much talent in military affairs, but these were not problems and could be remedied by other means.
This military advisor was assigned to Huyeli by Hebichen, so that he could guide Huyeli in secret, so as not to make any big jokes.
"What the military advisor said is not right, even if you don't use them, Lord Ben can quickly capture this city, and the city wall of the county seat of Longle County seems to be a few feet higher than here, and it can't be broken with one blow?"
He still attaches great importance to his military advisor, in addition to being a person sent by his marshal's brother-in-law, he also knows that this military advisor is indeed a capable person.
He wasn't stupid, and there were some things he should have done with his advisor, and it turned out that there was nothing wrong with that.
