In the territory of Qianshu, it was already full of wolf smoke at this time.

The people of Shu fled in confusion.

But the whole country is at war, where else can they flee to?

Now, whether it is the Northwest Army of Ye State or the Yu Yun Army of the Southern Tang Dynasty, they have all come to the city.

Gyeongju, the former capital of Shu, after 400 years of wind and frost, the first generation of Shu kings established the city again so far, there has never been an army to fight here.

But now it is besieged by two of the most elite armies in the western part of the Mingwu Empire.

Even if there were less than 200,000 people attacking the city, and even if there were 200,000 defenders in Gyeongju, the people in the city were already panicking, feeling that the city might fall at any time.

In fact, not to mention the people of Qianshu, even the soldiers of Qianshu did not have the certainty that they could defend the city.

The main reason is that now the king of Shu is not in the capital, and most of the soldiers do not have the determination to fight to the death.

Secondly, it is because the battle at the beginning of this year is still vivid, and 800,000 dead souls are in front of you......

It took less than four months for the Northwest Army to conquer Pingfu County, Ying County, and even the three counties of Hebei County, including the transfer of troops and the confrontation with the southern Qi army of Qi.

And this time, without the containment of the Southern Qi Army, the Northwest Army and Yu Yunjun jointly attacked a city, can they still withstand it for four months?

Just under the onslaught of the two armies on five days, Gyeongju appeared to be stormy, and the northern city wall of the Northwest Army's main attack even collapsed a lot.

The siege equipment of the Northwest Army is really terrible, so terrible that every time the Northwest Army attacks the city, the former Shu soldiers stand on the city wall and know in their hearts that they will not be able to go down alive.

The combat effectiveness of the soldiers in Qianshu itself is not as good as that of the Northwest Army or the Yu Yun Army, and at this moment, there is more such an idea in my heart, and it is strange that I can defend the city......

The people in Gyeongju City were panicked, and the nobles began to prepare gold and silver, preparing to wait for the enemy to break through the city, so that they could exchange gold and silver for the lives of their entire families.

And in the barracks outside Gyeongju City, several commanders of the Northwest Army were not having a good time.

They all know that although the situation of the siege is very good now, and the capture of Gyeongju is just around the corner, they know very well that this is their own generals who have won it for their own side with their lives.

Now, Chu Yujia is still resisting the attack of the Western Chu army in the Fengchuan Valley, and he is doing this to buy time for his side to break the city.

But now five days have passed, and the city wall has gone up countless times, but there are too many former Shu troops in the city, even if they climb the city wall, they will still be beaten down in the end.

In such a tug-of-war, the casualties of the Northwest Army were not small.

Zhuang Jiade, Yang Renqi, Yan Tianrui, and Chu Haojie, the four commanders of the main battle army, as well as Xu Gaoda and Huang Ye, the two commanders of the auxiliary army, were all gathered in the Chinese military tent of the Northwest Army at this time.

Yang Renqi sighed: "Now that five days have passed, there are only five days left before the deadline given to us by Master Hou......

"yes......"

Yan Tianrui shook his head and said, "If we can't break the city in the past five days, then we can only give up attacking Gyeongju City and go to support Hou Ye." ”

"Absolutely not. ”

Chu Haojie directly interrupted Yan Tianrui's words,said: "Master Hou said when he gave the order,Gyeongju City will be broken at any cost,If you can't capture it,Then our brother,But it will die in vain。 ”

"General Chu is right. ”

Xu Gaoda also stood up and said with a cold face: "Even if Master Hou is here now, he will definitely not agree to withdraw from the army." ”

"Then are we going to watch Master Hou die?"

Yan Tianrui stood up suddenly, facing Chu Haojie and Xu Gaoda: "We already know the information, the border army that can be dispatched by Western Chu is at least 150,000, and the Hou Ye has 3,000 people in his hands, even if there are 3,000 people led by General Nantang Pu to assist, then 6,000 people face 150,000 people, what kind of war is this, haven't you thought about it?"

"Of course I did. ”

Chu Haojie also got up,Said:"But we have no choice now,I just remember that the order given to us by the Hou Ye was to attack Gyeongju City at all costs。 ”

"At all costs, even the Hou Ye can be sacrificed, right?"

"Why can't you?"

Chu Haojie tilted his head,Said:"The reason why Hou Ye put himself in that position,Is to use his life to inspire us to seize the time to break the city,Now we have to think about the way to break the city,Not what to do if we can't break the city here。 ”

"What else can be done?"

Yan Tianrui is obviously because the siege battle in the past few days has not progressed well, and the anger is also very big at this time: "What is the situation of Yu Yunjun, you haven't seen it, they can indeed sit on an equal footing with our army in terms of combat effectiveness, but in terms of siege, they still use the most old-fashioned method, every time our army has rushed to the city wall to occupy the advantage, but they have not rushed to the city wall, and they are still fighting with the enemy army under the city, and they can't even talk about containment, our army is only less than 100,000 people, how can we break the city?"

Chu Haojie said directly: "Think,As long as we are willing to think,There is a way。 ”

As soon as he heard this, Yan Tianrui immediately became angry, and was about to have a seizure, but was interrupted by Zhuang Jiade's words: "Okay, don't make any noise." ”

Zhuang Jiade is the oldest one in this, and he is also the one who has been in the army for the longest time, and in any way, he is the one who suppresses the other people.

Several other people also respected this big brother very much, and when Chu Yujia was away, he naturally became the main general.

Zhuang Jiade's eyes became gloomy, and he said, "Since you can't break through the city, then you will destroy it today." ”

"Ruined?"

Upon hearing this, the others were all stunned.

However, Zhuang Jiade didn't care what their expressions were, he looked at Huang Ye and said, "Xiao Huang, how many ** do we have in our hands?"

Huang Ye thought for a moment and said, "About one hundred and fifty packs." ”

"One hundred and fifty packs is enough......"

Zhuang Jiade stood up and said with a deep breath: "Since the reorganization of our Northwest Army, there have not been more than three days in the siege battle, and today is the sixth day of our siege. ”

"Although there are reasons such as the high walls of Gyeongju, it is not a reason for you and me to shirk responsibility. ”

"Today is the sixth day, and from now on, everyone should not think about how many days there are left, because for our army, today is the last day. ”

"If we can't take Gyeongju City today, we don't need to be the commander of the Northwest Army anymore. ”

Zhuang Jiade's eyes were resolute, he looked at Huang Ye and said, "Huang Ye listens to orders." ”

"The last general!"

"I order you, seize the opportunity, lead the Black Guard Battalion to attack the weak point of the enemy's northern city wall, one hundred and fifty bags**, all of them must be stuffed into the city wall, and I will destroy the obstructive city wall for me. ”

Huang Ye glanced at the dealer with a shocked face, but he also understood that now it was an emergency, and if he couldn't break through Gyeongju City, then his own Hou Ye would be in danger.

Therefore, Huang Ye did not hesitate, and intervened: "The last general will obey the order......
