After figuring out Ye Wei's purpose, Zhao Duan relaxed a lot.
As long as the Huns are not about to invade now.
Everything else is fine.
After pouring the wine, Zhao Duan said: "Privy Ye, please be patient. I don't know the sinister intentions of the Huns, but now we in Bianjing have no choice.
Only the 50,000 Longxiang troops in the city are available, and the rest of the sergeants will only break the city faster.
Now it is just a helpless choice. "
"Then why doesn't Your Majesty take this opportunity to recruit young men to defend the city?"
Ye Wei thought of a solution that was not a solution.
Zhao Duan sighed and handed over the memorial he had just approved. Cao Shuang immediately took it and sent it to Ye Wei.
"The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers. Considering Bianjing's current food reserves, a large-scale recruitment of soldiers will only make the already stretched food in Bianjing city consumed faster.
At that time, I'm afraid it won't be as long as it was originally. "
Looking at the memorial in his hand, he looked at the shockingly small amount of food reserves on it.
Ye Wei's heart sank to the bottom.
Handing the memorial back with some trembling, Ye Wei said sadly: "Your Majesty, has our Song Dynasty reached this level?"
Zhao Duan sighed, stood up and walked to the window to look at the scenery outside and nodded silently.
"The current plan can only wait until other forbidden troops react."
"But Your Majesty, the news that you summoned them back to Beijing has been sent out a long time ago, but now no one has come back. Will they?" Ye Wei guessed.
Zhao Duan shook his head firmly and said: "Impossible, they will never betray me, even if they betray me, they can't betray me together, right?
Now there is only one possibility for this situation, our news has been robbed! "
"The news has been hijacked!?"
Ye Wei was shocked!
Zhao Duan nodded silently: "So far, no trace of the Ding family has been found. During the years when the Ding family controlled the military power of the Song Dynasty, no one knew how many methods they developed.
It's easy to intercept a messenger. "
"Then we can only sit back and wait for death?"
Ye Wei said worriedly.
Zhao Duan said flatly: "No! Of course we can't sit still and wait for death!
Based on the food storage situation in the city, five days at most! If we don't receive any news of return reinforcements from other Forbidden Forces after five days, we will have to find a way to save ourselves!
This is also our only chance, otherwise when we run out of ammunition and food, we will no longer have the strength even if we want to save ourselves. "
Ye Wei nodded in agreement.
But he didn't ask His Majesty how he wanted to save himself. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get the result he wanted.
Time flies by like this!
…
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty is in trouble! The Huns are starting to take serious action!
Today at Mao hour, the Huns suddenly launched an attack, catching the defenders off guard!
This time they sent their own people to play directly!
Moreover, the Huns actually launched a lot of siege engines, such as catapults, crash carts, Lu siege carts, etc. I haven't seen the Huns build them these days. I don't know who provided them.
Longxiang's army was caught off guard and the city was briefly lost. Later, with General Ye's desperate resistance, the Huns who rushed to the city were finally driven back.
But the Huns seemed to be going all out this time. After being driven off the city wall, instead of retreating, they continued to launch a fierce attack. The officers and soldiers of the Long Xiang Army, who had been consumed for more than ten days, could hardly withstand such a fierce offensive! "
On this day, not long after Zhao Duan fell asleep, he was suddenly awakened from his sleep!
As soon as he woke up, he saw Cao Shuang saying a long sentence in front of him in a panic. After being stunned for a long time, Zhao Duan finally calmed down.
He quickly dressed and stood up, and at the same time ordered: "Go and notify Ye Chong immediately and tell him that there is no need to hide. Since the Huns are on their own, use all their methods!
Later I will personally go to the top of the city to boost morale. If the Huns want to play, I will accompany them to play as much as they want!
In addition, inform the prince to be prepared, give him what should be given to the prince, and tell him what should be told to the prince. Do you understand? ? "
Cao Shuang was helping Zhao Duan get dressed quickly. When he heard these words, he couldn't help but stop his movements, but soon he continued to move quickly, silently nodded, and made a promise.
After dressing Zhao Duan, he immediately called a young eunuch to wait on him, while he himself set off and rushed towards the city.
He knew what His Majesty meant when he said these words.
At the same time, he was mentally prepared!
By the time Cao Shuang arrived at the North City Gate, the battle here had already entered a fever pitch. The Huns used various means to attack the city frantically regardless of the cost. They rushed to the top of the city several times, but they were also defeated by Long Xiang, who had the advantage of defending the city. The army was driven off.
But what can be seen with the naked eye is that facing the Xiongnu army who were recuperating and having high morale, almost all the Longxiang troops in the Song Dynasty had gone through more than ten days of fighting, and they were already mentally exhausted.
Gradually, the battle has a tendency to gradually deviate.
Seeing this scene, Cao Shuang did not dare to neglect, and used his inner energy to leap forward to Ye Chong's command post. Ye Wei was also here. Both of them had already gone into battle in person, each waving their weapons and following along with the soldiers. Why did the Huns rush to the city?
Cao Shuang hurried forward and rescued the two from the siege with his superior strength, and then spoke out Zhao Duan's order.
As soon as these words came out, Ye Chong's eyes instantly lit up and even became a little moist.
Choking with sobs, he said: "Is Your Majesty finally willing to let us use those things? Great! This city can definitely be defended!"
After saying this, Ye Chong immediately put the bone whistle that had been hanging around his neck in his mouth and blew it hard!
The sharp but extremely loud whistle instantly spread throughout the city.
The next moment, a unit that had been hidden since the beginning of the war and was reluctant to use it finally appeared on the battlefield!
These are the musketeers who once appeared in the northwest frontier!
Sergeant Long Xiang, who was carrying a fierce fire cabinet and holding a nozzle in his hand, came up and aimed at the fierce and desperate Huns who were rushing towards him and activated the machine in his hand!
boom!
The fire bursts out!
A large ball of blazing flames spurted out from the nozzle, and in the blink of an eye, the Huns who had just looked ferocious turned into a burning man.
He still looked ferocious, but full of fear!
He kept wailing in pain, staggering and falling down the city, taking several Huns who were climbing with him!
After the musketeers, rows of Longxiang soldiers carrying repeating crossbows quickly climbed onto the city wall!
When they pulled the trigger, a continuous barrage of arrows instantly formed a fire cover, completely suppressing the Huns' offensive!
Those Huns who were within fifty steps of the city wall were all hit by arrows!
All of them were turned into hedgehogs!
When the news reached the Xiongnu camp, Tila was so angry that he killed three Song women and said angrily:
“Damn Song people, cunning Song people, if you didn’t bring out such weapons before, you only took them out when we Huns came!
You actually dare to hide this Shanyu, I want you to die!
Send the order and take all the prisoners. Don't be reluctant. As long as Bianjing City is conquered, a lot of slaves will be captured for you!
Give me all your strength to break the city! "
"Yes! Great Tila Great Chanyu!"
