Chapter 86: Preparing for a Decisive Battle

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

On Chiyang City, looking at the barbarian army retreating in a hurry, the soldiers and civilians of Daqi cheered.

However, Du Changgeng's expression was solemn, and he knew that another wave of such an attack would be the moment when Chiyang City was broken. Even the escort battalion, after this wave of attacks, the heavy armor had already made them breathless. And Chiyang City no longer has any reserve strength.

"Quick! Move the rocks and rolling logs, and the barbarians will attack immediately. Xu Liyuan shouted loudly.

The wave of attacks just now had already played all the hole cards of Chiyang City to defend the city, and the soldiers of a long section of the city wall near the city gate had been completely annihilated. Now it is the escort battalion to take over, but in this way, Chiyang City no longer has the strength to replenish the loopholes at any time. If the barbarians break through the defenses again, there will be no more troops to supplement the defense.

Xu Liyuan arranged everything, and then ran to Du Changgeng to confess: "General, the subordinates are useless, let the barbarian dog go up the city wall, and the subordinates deserve death." ”

"You can't be blamed for that. You've done a good job of holding off these two waves. "Du Changgeng knows that whoever will defend the city with a group of recruits can do it to this extent is already good. The barbarian losses are not small, but now Chiyang City can't afford to lose.

"General, I am going to organize all the young people in Chiyang City to defend the city on the city wall, if the city can't be defended, the people in Chiyang City will be dead. It's better to take advantage of the last opportunity to fight with the brute dog!" Xu Liyuan said.

"Okay!" Du Changgeng led the guard battalion down the city wall and got on all the war horses. A large number of young people went up to the city wall under the organization of Xu Liyuan.

"Listen up. When the barbarians attack, hide under the battlements, and don't stick your head out to target the barbarians. When the dogs reach the bottom of the wall, you can pick up the stone and throw it down. Smashing one is enough, smashing two earns one. Instead of letting the wild dogs be slaughtered like animals, it is better to fight with them. If you are lucky enough to survive, the mother-in-law of Chiyang City will rely on you to support you in the future. Xu Liyuan's words were not rough, and everyone laughed when he said it, and it seemed that he no longer felt that there was anything terrible about this war.

The barbarian army can naturally see that Chiyang City has reached its limit, just like window paper, as long as it is stabbed lightly, it will be broken. Naturally, Chiyang City will not be given too much respite. However, they were not easy, two waves of attacks, the losses were very heavy, especially the second wave of attacks, casualties were at least four thousand. The West City Gate attack army is more than 10,000, and now there are only five or six thousand left to fight.

"The flanks are still making feints to contain the defenders of Daqi. The western city wall is where 10,000 troops are concentrated. There is no need for 5,000 guards here, but 3,000 are to go. In this wave of attacks, Chiyang City must be taken. Prince Oyan said.

Lakshin said with some concern: "Your Royal Highness, the mysterious army of the Chiyang Guard has not shown up so far. There is no news of the 5,000 men and horses of Daachi so far, and they should have been wiped out. Being able to swallow five thousand elites of Da Achi, this force cannot be underestimated. In case, this force is eyeing it somewhere. His Royal Highness's guards are too weak and too dangerous. ”

Prince Oyan shook his head: "There is no need to worry. I, the prince, was not picked up by the Yin virtue of my ancestors, but by leading troops to fight. No matter how powerful that Great Qi mysterious power is, Daachi's five thousand elite soldiers are not paper-mΓ’chΓ©. The men and horses who annihilated Daachi will inevitably be damaged. Guarded by 3,000 elite soldiers, you can sit back and relax. Lakshen, the key to this battle lies with you, if you can take Chiyang City with the power of thunder, even if that mysterious army and horses fight, you can return to help in time after capturing Chiyang City. We can take advantage of the situation and wipe out this force. It also eliminates worries. Otherwise, this group of soldiers and horses will always hide in the dark, and we really can't do anything about them. ”

Ao Yong considered that after taking Chiyang City, if he wanted to keep this passage to Daqi unobstructed in the future, he would have to deploy troops in various guards in Chiyang City. The existence of such a force will definitely become a very headache in the future. Therefore, Ao Yong deliberately reduced the forces around him, using himself as a bait to lure out that mysterious force.

Rakshen immediately understood Aoyan's plan, but he was still a little worried: "But in this way, the situation of His Excellency the Prince is too dangerous. ”

"Needless to say, just do what I say. Remember, after taking Chiyang City, once that force comes out, immediately return to the army to flank the attack. I have a hunch that that mysterious force is already watching us somewhere, and when the time comes, it will inevitably take advantage of the opportunity to attack. "Prince Okuyan is very sure of his plan.

In the woods less than 10 miles away from the barbarian camp, Du Xuan and the soldiers of the Black Bear Fort Cavalry Battalion were already sitting on the back of the dragon scale horses and horses, and just waiting for Du Xuan's order, the Black Bear Fort Cavalry Battalion would immediately shoot out like arrows from the string.

Hu Benrui hurried back: "Third son, the second wave of the barbarian attack has just ended, and the city was almost broken, and finally the general took the escort battalion to the city wall before driving the barbarian dog off the city wall. The losses of these two waves of attacks are not small. The wild dog is starting to prepare for the attack again, and this wave of attacks, the wild dog has made the old mistake. Even the guards of the Wild Dog Battalion were divided into a small half. The commander of the barbarian army had less than 3,000 men and horses around him. It's a good opportunity. ”

"It seems that this brute dog commander is really bold. However, the barbarian camp is a bit bad for us. Although they had less than 3,000 troops, they relied on their tent facilities to defend against our dragon scale cavalry. Once there is a stalemate, the Barbarian Dog Siege Army may take the opportunity to break through Chiyang City and turn its guns against us. When the time comes, we will be flanked in front and back. I think this is the idea that this brute dog commander is fighting. In that case, let's revise the plan as well. Du Xuan said.

"Third son, are we not going to fight the brute dog leader?" asked Wang Yuansen.

Du Xuan nodded: "Most of their siege forces have given up their war horses. Although they were numerous, they were far easier for us to fight than the guards in the big camp. We rush sideways and can completely disrupt the barbarian attacking army. All of a sudden, the defensive pressure on Chiyang City was relieved. Our main target is the barbarian archers, once the barbarians lose the cover of the archers, Chiyang City, with its walls, can easily withstand the barbarian attack. ”

"In this way, we are always in a state of mobility, and even if the barbarians want to surround us, there is nothing they can do with our dragon scale horse cavalry battalion. Wang Yuansen's eyes lit up, and he quickly understood.
