Chapter 174: Soldiers are coming to the city

At the beginning of the emperor's reign, he was one of the three kings who secretly contacted the leader of the enclave, the king of the north.

It was he who told the leader of the enclave the news of the great change in prayer and the trapping of the East King, and told him that he was the most powerful of all the forces now, sitting on 600,000 troops, and suppressing the other two kings on the frontal battlefield, it was only a matter of time before he became a great treasure, so that the leader of the enclave cooperated with his attack and weakened the combat power of the East Palace. If the leader of the enclave does this, when he ascends to the throne, not only will he not attack the enclave, but he will also make the leader of the enclave the only king with the surname of Qitian, who will sit in the enclave for the rest of his life, and if he is in danger, Qitian will also send troops to help.

The leader of the enclave only needs to agree to the surrender conditions of the East Palace, introduce its main force into the hinterland of the enclave, and drag it down, and the North King will take action on his own, so that the East King Mansion can not care about each other.

And the leader of the enclave, who agreed to the surrender of the East Wangfu before, was also a helpless move, the enclave resources are relatively poor, the population is not large but it occupies a large area, after a few years of confrontation with the East Wangfu, he also deeply knows that the East Wangfu is difficult to deal with. But now there is such a news, the helmsman of the East Palace, Emperor Ye Yu, is trapped in Qitian City, eighty percent is dead, and the 200,000 soldiers of the East King Mansion are also trapped in the hinterland of Qitian, and it is difficult to return. The leader of the enclave immediately had a small calculation in his heart.

Within the enclave, there are more than 100,000 elite soldiers, which is more than enough to deal with a small number of troops in the East Palace. If you submit to the East Palace, then you may become a vassal of the East Mansion later, and the title of the leader of your enclave will also exist in name, and now the East King Mansion is at the end of the road, the main force is trapped, the commander is killed, and there is no benefit in returning to the East Palace. On the other hand, the conditions that the king of the north gave himself were too tempting.

In this way, the leader of the enclave agreed to the suggestion of the Northern King, and used a strategy to bring Ye Guan into Wufeng City, and after Ye Guan entered Wufeng City, he withdrew the sergeants guarding the city wall, intending to let the soldiers of the Dongwangfu enter the enclave, and use the strategic depth of the enclave to drag all its new forces to death, and the two thousand Dongfu sergeants who entered Wufeng City, the leader of the enclave never took it too seriously.

It's not that he hasn't heard of the prestige of the four city lords of Dongfu, but he really didn't expect that the city lord of Dongfu actually has such combat power, and after drinking so many drugs to the point of fainting, there is nothing to do.

Since then, he has put himself in the hands of the enemy, and no matter how things develop later, the leader of the enclave feels that it seems to be a little difficult for him to survive.

Seeing that the leader of the enclave no longer spoke, Ye Guan smiled slightly and continued to drink tea.

Liu Yuan, still drinking with the guards of the general enclave leader below, was not happy.

Ye Guan controlled the leader of the enclave in Wufeng City, which made the entire Dongfu's actions in the enclave a little possible.

But at this moment, except for Ye Guan, the other two directions did not get this news and would not get it.

After a peaceful night, Sha Shaoyuan stood on the city wall at this moment, looking into the distance.

Passing the camp garrisoned in the enclave, which had been burned, a force appeared on the official road in the distance.

This unit is not a friendly force in terms of equipment or weapons.

"Enemy attack, prepare for battle!" one of the scouts apparently saw the enemy at the first moment, and immediately shouted downward.

All the soldiers defending the city immediately took a defensive posture, and three thousand soldiers fought on the city wall, holding their longbows, and staring intently into the distance.

Sha Shaoyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes showed a cold glow.

He had long known that the people of the enclave would definitely raise a large army to regain the defensive rights of the city wall, and only in this way could they completely drag the main force of Dongfu into the enclave to death. Moreover, the enemy forces attacking this time must be several times larger than their own.

After a night and a half days, Sha Shaoyuan had completely figured out the defensive position of the city wall and the surrounding environment, at this moment there were only three thousand soldiers on the city wall, and the remaining three thousand soldiers had already ridden their war horses, and Cui Chi took them, and ambushed them in a ridge twenty miles away.

It is worth mentioning that before their army entered the enclave, the two enemy sergeants who were clung out were released, but they did not flee for their lives immediately, but turned around and went to a hidden place to light the wolf smoke. Seeing this, the two sergeants who were ordered to follow immediately stepped forward to kill the two and reported the situation to Sha Shaoyuan.

When Sha Shaoyuan learned of this, he immediately understood what was going on, and after he had set up all the defenses, he ordered the sergeant to light the wolf smoke prepared by the enclaves.

This wolf smoke must be a message to inform the people of the enclave that they have entered the city wall, and it should be a signal for attack. It seems that they have calculated that they will not order the killing of the two remnants, and if nothing else, after the wolf smoke is lit, a team of scouts will enter and hand over the remnants of the two enclaves to inquire about the layout of the city walls. Therefore, they had set fire to their camp for the rest of their lives, and they did not attack at the first time knowing that the enemy had entered.

In this way, Sha Shaoyuan analyzed several points.

First of all, the enemy general who was in charge of retaking the walls was a wise and cautious man, and he would certainly test the battle to know the reality of the garrison before attacking in a big way.

Secondly, this man is ruthless and unscrupulous in order to achieve his ends, and even his own sergeants can get such a hand, cutting off their tongues in exchange for his own dispensable sympathy, so as to probe his own truth and truth.

Seeing through the enemy's strategy, Sha Shaoyuan arranged an ambush, and first killed a team of scouts who came over to hand over with the two remnants, there were only seven people in this line, but their war horses were not as good as their own excellent black-maned horses, but their coats were messy, and they were ordinary horses that were not good at long-distance running.

Kill the enemy scouts, and all that's left is to wait for the enemy to attack.

Sure enough, as Sha Shaoyuan expected, before the enemy attacked, he sent many teams of scouts to enter the defensive area of the city wall to test, and one of them also rushed to the place where Cui Chi led the team to ambush before, but Cui Chi had no choice but to change direction. And the enemy troops who had tried the defense of the city walls, in recent times, had reached their burned camp and watched from afar.

Sha Shaoyuan asked all the soldiers defending the city to hide behind the city wall, not to show any of them, so as not to expose the direction of their own garrison to the greatest extent.

After all, it is far from enough to defend such a large city wall with only 3,000 people.

Moreover, it was not the outer side of the city wall that was being defended at this moment, but the inner side. The inside, it is not used for defense, but for transportation, this defense line is not as impregnable as the front of the city wall, if the enemy army is really very large, and even can go up directly along the steps, the difficulty of defense can be imagined.

In the previous arrangement, Sha Shaoyuan had ordered the sergeants to block several stairs on the city wall with objects to minimize the speed of the enemy's ascent to the city wall, and many simple fortifications were also arranged on the city wall.

Compared with simple fortifications, although Sha Shaoyuan does not have many soldiers in his hands now, he has enough bows and crossbows, and each person has more than 200 arrows in his hands, and the traditional weapons used to defend the city walls around him, such as rolling stones and fire oil, are also readily available. It should be that the people of the enclave retreated in a hurry, and it is too late to take these things away or destroy them all, and there is still a lot left to use.

With these things, Sha Shaoyuan still has the confidence to defend this city wall for a while.

Dust was blowing ahead, and the enemy sergeants of the brigade marched slowly, mostly infantry, with only a small number of cavalry scattered on the flanks, no more than a thousand.

However, the enemy's frontal troops, roughly calculated, were no less than forty or fifty thousand, which was really a huge gap compared with the six thousand sergeants in Sha Shaoyuan's hands.

The enemy brigade marched to the main camp, but no longer moved forward, but stopped, and actually began to set up camp.

The previous front of about 20,000 sergeants had been maintaining a defensive formation, and the 20,000 or so sergeants in the rear immediately unloaded their baggage and began to reshape the camp, judging by their meaning, it seemed that they were ready for a protracted battle.

Seeing the enemy like this, Sha Shaoyuan couldn't help but pout.

If the enemy army has tens of thousands of pounds in one fell swoop, he really feels a little headache, but at this moment he is happy to see the enemy actually camp.

The more the enemy has the idea of a protracted war, the more beneficial it will be for Sha Shaoyuan.

Before coming, Huang Yuanwu had already said that Huang Yanghui was returning with the soldiers of the East Palace, and once the 200,000 soldiers of the East Palace, who had experienced a hundred battles, entered the enclave, they were afraid that these enemy troops in front of them would not be enough for them to stuff their teeth.

Sha Shaoyuan didn't give any orders, just stood quietly at the head of the city, watching the enemy troops in the distance set up camp, set up camps, repair guard towers, and build horses, but he was unmoved.

"Let's set up camp, the longer it drags on, the happier the old man will be. Sha Shaoyuan looked at the enemy camp in the distance, and said secretly in his heart.

Time passed quickly, in a blink of an eye, it was two hours, it was almost dusk at this moment, the speed of the enemy's camp could not be unpleasant, in such a short time, the camp that could accommodate 40,000 troops was built, the enemy's phalanx was disbanded, and all entered the camp.

And Sha Shaoyuan, the three thousand sergeants who were responsible for defending the city wall looked at the camp in front of them, a little helpless, they had already given up their posture of being ready to attack, and they rested, and the rest was to wait for the enemy to attack.

Sometimes, the generals are too cautious, and it is not a good thing to fight steadily, and the fighters are wasted.

When Sha Shaoyuan saw the enemy army, he originally thought that they would attack in one fell swoop, and all the soldiers were ready to fight bloodily, but now the enemy army is doing this, which makes Sha Shaoyuan a little disappointed.

"Herald. Seeing that the enemy's camp had been established, Sha Shaoyuan ordered softly, saying: "Tonight, the enemy will definitely have the first attack, and order the sixth brigade to defend with all its might, and the other two teams will rest and not participate in the battle." ”

"Honorable Order!" the herald received the order and immediately conveyed Sha Shaoyuan's order.

After giving the order, Sha Shaoyuan took advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun, his eyes narrowed slightly, looked at the camp of the enemy Nuoda in the distance, and whispered to himself: "If you want to consume, then I will accompany you to consume." ”
