Not only Ning Hu was laughing, but the three hundred Tianji camp guards were also laughing wildly. This laughter echoed in Beixi County, whether it was ordinary people or husbands, some were crying, and some were laughing along with them. Some people are sad, while others are naturally high-spirited.
The laughter stopped suddenly, and Ning Huyun said lightly: "The guards of the Tianji Camp are all the treasures of Brother Qin. Since the guards of the Tianji Camp are sent to the fire pit, it shows the seriousness of the war situation. The country is in danger, and I can't wait to go to hell. Who will go to hell?" hell?"
"When the Northern Barbarians are defeated and the prestige of our Liang Kingdom is exalted, I will never forget to tell Nai Weng of my family sacrifices!"
Ning Hu turned to look at the 300 Tianji camp guards and shouted: "Guards, are you willing to join me in dying generously? Take one step forward!"
The three hundred Tianji camp guards did not hesitate at all, and took a step forward at the same time, shouting in unison: "Attack Rong Di, protect the mountains and rivers! We are willing to die!"
Ning Hu waved his hand and led 300 guards from the Tianji Battalion out of the city. The people behind him all saw him off with tears in their eyes.
Li Zhang slowly climbed up the city wall and looked at the dark night outside the city with extremely determined eyes: "Officials in the DPRK and the Central Government all suspect that Beixi has the evil intention of supporting the soldiers' self-respect, so we must use our blood to remonstrate with the loyal!"
The night is getting darker.
It was less than an hour before dawn.
Chen Si still had no intention of taking a break, standing outside the camp and looking in the direction of Beixi County. Chen Si knew very well that the key to this battle lay in Beixi County. In the first two battles, Beixi County came fiercely, but retreated quickly. Its strategic purpose was obvious, which was to reduce the pressure on the border troops.
Now the forward army and Liang Guo's defenders have been fighting to the death for three days and three nights.
The frontier army relied on the advantage of the city and suffered losses of nearly 2,000 people, while the forward camp that attacked the city suffered losses of more than 10,000 people. But as long as this intensity of attack is maintained, it is only a matter of time before the frontier troops are overwhelmed. Beidi bet everything, even if 50,000 people died in battle, he could still bear it! As for the Liang Kingdom's border troops, they have lost more than 7,000 people, and their morale will collapse!
At the same time, the follow-up troops gradually entered the war zone to block the reinforcements from the Hussars General's headquarters.
Attacking the frontier troops was the main task, and blocking the hussar generals was the supplement. As for the chariot and cavalry generals, they must not dare to act without permission. They must prevent Dadi's soldiers and horses from marching straight in, attacking the southern part of the northern border, and robbing food. We also have to devote our attention to responding to Beixi County and the rear of the Hussars General's headquarters, but they are unable to do anything at the same time.
The thing I am least afraid of right now is a fierce battle!
The most feared thing is that Beixi County will send troops to harass. At that time, troops and horses will have to be mobilized to come for reinforcements, which will inevitably seriously affect the attack on the forward camp.
Chen Si had a headache about Beixi County. The small Beixi County was many times more difficult to conquer than the important towns of the border army. The construction of the city defenses was very different from the important towns in other parts of the Liang Kingdom. According to the siege soldiers, Beixi County is nominally divided into two levels: the inner city and the outer city, but in fact it has three levels!
The inner city stores a large amount of military supplies, covering all aspects of military, people's livelihood, political affairs, etc., and is the core of Beixi County.
The outer city is where the people live, and young and strong civilians can support projects or wars at any time. On the outermost side, there is a circle of urn city, which is heavily guarded.
If we attack the important border town, we only need 50,000 soldiers and horses, but if we attack Beixi County, we may not be able to win even 100,000. Even if the siege is not carried out, with the war potential of Beixi County, it can last for at least three to five years!
This kind of incisor town that cannot be chewed up and can send troops out for surprise attacks at any time is simply the most unstable factor in this war.
However, Chen Si still had five thousand infantry by his side, which was enough to withstand a possible surprise attack from Beixi County.
The role of these five thousand infantry is not to fight fiercely with Beixi County, but to act as a buffer to prevent the Beixi County defenders from going too deep into Dadi territory. Once the war breaks out into the territory of Dadi, the entire military deployment will be severely damaged. This is the scene that Chen Si least wants to see.
Chen Si hasn't slept for two days and two nights.
Seeing that Chen Si's expression was extremely poor, the deputy general beside him quickly advised: "General, it's almost dawn, please rest. I don't expect the Beixi County defenders to come."
Chen Si shook his head, his eyes firm: "It's not the time yet, let's wait until dawn."
Only at dawn and with a wide field of vision can we effectively prevent sneak attacks by the Beixi County defenders. As long as night falls, Chen Si's heart will always be in doubt.
The deputy general sighed: "It's dawn, and you have to wait for the messenger from the forward camp. I'm afraid you will have to stay up all day. Why don't you take a nap for two hours first, and then I will stay here overnight. If you collapse, Who can deal with Beixi County? That small Beixi County is full of crouching tigers, hidden dragons, and is full of virtuous ministers and good generals. If I hadn't been afraid of you, Beixi County would have attacked you long ago."
Although Chen Si was worried that there would be moves in the direction of Beixi County, for the sake of the overall situation, he still followed the lieutenant's advice and turned back to the barracks to take a rest.
The deputy general stood outside the camp, called Ye Xiao, and asked in a deep voice: "Is there any movement in Beixi County?"
Ye Xiao shook his head and looked solemnly: "There has been no response from the spies that were sent out. We suspect that Beixi County is cleaning up our spies."
The deputy general's eyes were deep, but he didn't react much. After all, both sides were working on cleaning up the scouts and spies. Dadi and Liang Guo have been mediating for so long, and their respective espionage organizations have developed to the extreme. Before the war started, they had almost infiltrated each other. As the saying goes, if you know your enemy and yourself, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
For this reason, it has become a routine task for both sides to clean up each other's spies before each military deployment.
Obviously, the Beixi County defenders must take military action in the near future.
But seeing that the sky is about to get dark, at least it won't come today, now it is better to let Chen Si take more rest. After all, only he can deal with Li Zhang.
Just when the deputy general was about to let Ye Xiao go back and continue patrolling to prevent Liang Guo's spies from infiltrating, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly came.
Looking around, he saw a night owl wearing leather armor and covered in blood, rushing towards the deputy general with all his strength.
"General! The Beixi County scouts are attacking from all sides, and the subordinates are fighting their way back to the camp. The Beixi County defenders are less than ten miles away from our camp!"
As soon as these words came out, the deputy general's eyelids jumped wildly.
Beixi County is an important town in front of the border. It is very close to the border. As long as the troops are launched, even infantry can reach the border in about an hour. This is why there are more than three times more scouts and spies around Beixi County than there are in the Liang Kingdom border army, because they are worried about Beixi County suddenly coming out.
"How many people are coming from the other side?" the lieutenant asked quickly. If the other side is just testing, they can defend the camp with only 5,000 infantry.
If there are too many people coming from the other side, we must apply for the deployment of troops and horses in the direction of the forward camp.
The night owl said in an urgent voice: "Come out in full force!"
The lieutenant general's heart skipped a beat, and without any time to hesitate, he quickly turned around to inform Chen Si.
As soon as he turned around, Chen Si came out from behind the curtain, obviously not sleeping at all.
