The sudden arrival of the 300,000 iron cavalry army of the Qi State made everyone in the imperial city panic. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

300,000 iron horsemen of the Qi State camped in an open place five miles away from the imperial city.

On the first night of the siege of the city, the main battle faction of the Imperial City of Zheng persuaded the emperor that while the enemy army was extremely tired, he should surprise himself and attack the enemy camp.

Emperor Guo Renhe did not understand the art of war, he knew that the elite division, sneak attack on the tired army is a great chance of winning, because there are many famous battles in history where the less wins the more, and the weak defeat the strong, and immediately agreed that the general led 20,000 imperial city guards to sneak out of the city at night to sneak attack.

The 20,000 imperial city guards who went out were ambushed, and were wrapped in dumplings by the iron cavalry, and none of them fled back.

The next day, the 300,000 iron cavalry of the Qi State left 100,000 in the camp, and the 200,000 were divided into four teams of men and horses, and a team of 50,000 men and horses blocked the gates of the four cities in the southeast, northwest, and northwest of the imperial city.

The generals of the Qi State shouted and scolded under the city, and the imperial city hung up the anti-battle card.

How do you let the imperial city fight, the Praetorian Guard plus the Imperial City Guards have a total of more than 60,000 people, and the sneak attack failed that night and lost 20,000 people at once, and now the four walls are divided into one city wall and only 10,000 people, as the saying goes, it is three to one to break a city, and the difference between the enemy and our military strength is five to one.

On this day, the enemy army did not attack the city, and after another day, the enemy army still did not attack the city, but only shouted and cursed outside the city.

On the third day, 100,000 iron horsemen in the rear of the enemy army joined the siege with freshly made siege equipment.

At this time, Emperor Guo Renhe and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty understood why they were besieged and not attacked, and they were getting equipment.

On the first day, the siege battle was extremely tragic, the cavalry of the Qi State dismounted and attacked the city, more than 30,000 people were killed and wounded, the imperial city lost more than 5,000 people, the seriously injured could not participate in the battle 3,000 people, and the lightly injured people were as many as 2,000, and the imperial city lost the equivalent of one-fifth of its combat strength on this day.

The next day, the Qi State increased the number of siege personnel, and the imperial city of Zheng State barely resisted, and the losses were extremely heavy, and the soldiers who could fight were less than 20,000, as long as the Qi State was attacking for two to three days, the city would be broken.

Emperor Guo Renhe has aged a lot in the past three days, many white hairs have appeared on his head, and there are many wrinkles on the faces of the two ministers on the left and right, and many of the ministers of the Chinese military department have other thoughts, and they secretly ordered the servants and slaves to pack up the silver and two valuable things, and run away on the day the city wall is broken, or spend money to buy a road.

Anyone can run, but Emperor Guo Renhe can't.

On this day, the soldiers of both armies were tired and rested and ate, and the left and right sides patrolled and played with the four city walls and came to the palace.

Zuo Xiangfang Xiaoning knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, let's escape, tonight the minister will lead the soldiers to protect the emperor from the imperial city, as long as we succeed in leaving the imperial city, other cities will inevitably be able to gather an army to recapture the imperial city." Speaking of this, the left phase is already full of old tears. ”

Emperor Guo Renhe was a little moved, the imperial city can't be defended, it's better to take his family and run out first.

At this time, Li Kui, the right prime minister, knelt on the ground and said: "The old minister does not agree to break through, the enemy army is all iron cavalry, even if you kill out of the city gate, you will be caught up by the other party, the minister suggests that you also accept the surrender! After surrendering, the emperor will not have to worry about your life." [Explain, the emperor who surrenders will not be killed, but will be taken to the surrendered country to be locked up, and there will be a life of food and drink,]

Emperor Guo Renhe was a little moved again, it is better to live than to die, who can guarantee that he will break through the siege and will not be overtaken.

The Emperor is in a dilemma.

"Bastard! The city has not been broken, the country has not yet died, how to talk about escape and surrender, after a while, the old body will also go to the city wall below the enemy, the city is in the people, the city is broken and the people are dead. The old queen mother scolded the emperor and the prime ministers on crutches.

Emperor Guo Renhe knelt in front of the old empress dowager and said, "Mother! It's not that children are greedy for life and afraid of death, but the city really can't be defended!"

"Yes, the old lady. ”

"The old lady, our imperial city really can't hold it. If we don't defend it, we don't have any soldiers to use. ”

The old queen mother hated Tie and said: "You guys, why don't you have any backbone at all." The old empress dowager's hands trembled, and she took off the injured jade bracelet and said: "The old body is to sell all the jewels, hire someone to guard the city for me, and insist on giving ten taels of silver a day, I don't believe that there are no people to go." ”

Emperor Guo Renhe hugged the old queen mother and cried: "Mother! Our Zheng State has failed in the past two years of war training, and the treasury has already released even the military salary, if it weren't for Baron Chu, we would have been defeated and the country would have been defeated." We don't have any money, and even if we do, the people won't necessarily go back to the city walls to defend the city. "The emperor cried in pain.

The two prime ministers on the left and right were also crying out of breath.

The old queen mother looked at the emperor's son and the prime ministers left and right, sighed, and turned around decadently to leave.

After walking a few steps, the old queen mother remembered what her son had just said, Chu Engong did not support them, and they had already been defeated.

The old queen mother turned around and said: "You go with the old man to visit Chu Engong, as long as Chu Engong agrees to save Zheng Guo, maybe we Zheng Guo can be saved." ”

Emperor Guo Renhe was stunned for a moment and said, "Can the teacher be Zheng Guo?"

The left and right sides glanced at each other, and they both understood each other's meaning, who was Chu Engong? How could he possibly save the current imperial city?

It is impossible to say that the old queen mother took the emperor's left and right prime ministers, eunuchs, and maids to escort her, and a group of people came to Chu Mansion in a mighty way.

The left and right ministers finally knew who Chu Engong was in the mouth of the old queen mother, it turned out to be Chu Nan, out of the baron, the two of them couldn't understand how a businessman became the old queen's benefactor, and what ability he had to keep the imperial city.

The old queen mother and the emperor did not enter the gate of Chu Mansion, and the old queen mother knelt directly at the gate of Chu Mansion.

Her move frightened the emperor and everyone around her.

Emperor Guo Renhe was just about to help the old queen mother get up, he was scolded, and knelt down with him, Guo Renhe may be cowardly, maybe not Mingjun, but it is filial piety, his mother is kneeling, how can he not kneel, besides, it is not the first time to kneel Chu Nan, he has worshiped once when he worships Mr.

You must know that the emperor is the ninety-five, kneeling down is terrible, the old queen mother and the emperor have knelt down, how can the entourage still stand.

The gatekeeper of the Chu Mansion was also stunned by what was in front of him, and even ran and climbed in to report.

Chu Nan knew that the emperor and the empress dowager were kneeling at the gate of the Chu Mansion, so he naturally went out to personally welcome them into the mansion.

As soon as she entered the inner courtyard, the old queen mother knelt down again, and she made a long story short and told the current situation in the imperial city.

Regarding the situation in the imperial city, Chu Nan has long been very clear, even better than everyone else.

The old queen mother knelt down again, which once again made many people wonder, isn't this Chu man just a businessman, is it still an immortal, and it will work for him to kneel for help?

Chu Nan said that he had no choice, and the old queen mother spoke: "Engong's ability is to the sky, please save Zheng Guo, if you don't save it, I will kneel in front of Engong to death." "When the old queen mother was ten years old, she left home alone to play in the mountains, and was caught by a monster, and happened to be rescued by Chu Nan, she was in her fifties at this time, and Chu Engong was still as young as she was back then, she met Chu Engong ten years ago, and promised Chu Engong not to reveal his identity as an immortal cultivator.

Chu Nan sighed, although he can transform into a big zombie and trample on 300,000 iron horsemen with two feet, but he is unwilling, he can kill those who have a grudge, he can kill the wicked, but he can't slaughter a large number of mortals with inhuman power.

The country, the state, and the state must protect the home, and the family must support the country.

Chu Nan said to the old empress dowager: "I can't use spells to help you retreat from the enemy, I can only use other methods to help you hold the imperial city for a month, if you have an army to come after a month, then Zheng Guo will be saved, if no other army appears within a month, then I can't do anything."

The old queen mother, hearing the words, was immediately overjoyed, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank her, the emperor did not know why, after being kicked by the queen mother who got up, she also knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank you for saving the country.

The left and right sides knelt down helplessly, and kowtowed reluctantly, what is this called, I don't know anything, so I kowtow.
