The Huns were able to stop their attack. For Dong Qing, this was the best time for him to take a breather.
Although the war situation is very anxious, and the Huns have been lingering under the capital, he can still get the first-hand news that should be delivered to the world.
He had already known about Liu Guangchuan's appeal to the world to come to the capital to save the capital.
So what he had to do was to deliberately open up as many gaps as possible to allow the Huns to attack the inner city and consume Chen Ligang's soldiers.
And what he has to do is to prevent his soldiers from dying as much as possible.
Once the Huns begin to break out, they can take the opportunity to directly attack the inner city and capture Chen Ligang alive. By then, controlling the capital and doing anything else can be regarded as getting twice the result with half the effort.
Thinking of this, Dong Qing looked back in the direction of the inner city. He wanted to look for the figure who would always be at peace in his growth.
But he didn't find it.
Tan Zili was in an inconspicuous corner, looking at the slowly retreating Huns soldiers. He frowned slightly and looked at the reinforcements in the distance.
"It seems they are not planning to withdraw, but are coming back to eat some of the troops."
Tan Zili has always been keenly aware that although the Huns seem to be attacking the capital frantically, their attacks are actually very rhythmic.
Every attack and retreat is quite regular, and every charge has a huge retreat space reserved.
In addition, he saw with his own eyes that when reinforcements from all walks of life rushed to the capital to prepare for assistance, the Huns did not make any preparations for retreat. Although they were far away, he could see the Khan of the Huns still holding his feather fan and silk scarf. , calm and unhurried, more elegant than the great Confucians of the Central Plains.
So just by looking at it, he was sure that the Huns definitely had another plan. He didn't know how the Huns were able to break through Datong before.
But considering Sun Sheng's absolute strength, plus the fact that he has a big boy as a barrier and a nine-foot-high city wall, in fact, these people on horses don't know how to use advanced weapons at all, and ethnic minorities can break through. of?
He had fought against the Datong Army before and knew one thing clearly. The troops sent by Datong to assist the capital were just ordinary troops.
There were very few elite troops among them, which meant that the group of people he fought back were just ordinary soldiers!
If those were ordinary soldiers, then the elite soldiers would obviously stay in Datong!
This time Sun Sheng came from thousands of miles away and left a lot of troops behind to stop reinforcements at various intersections where reinforcements might appear, but he was in no rush to send troops.
This shows that he and the Huns may have reached some kind of consensus long ago.
But judging from the current intelligence, he was conducting pre-war mobilization there, vowing to fight the Huns to the death.
Tan Zili looked up in the direction of Dong Qing and remained silent. He had a vague feeling.
I am afraid that in a short while we will see the spectacular scene of the Datong army and the Xiongnu army fighting against various princes and kings with different surnames.
However, after the emperor Liu Guang wiped out the troops left by Sun Sheng, he quickly withdrew to Yanzhou without making any further moves, which made him feel very strange.
"Is it possible that His Majesty the Emperor still has some powerful back-up, or that he has convinced Sun Sheng and is going to use this time to settle the scores with these princes and kings of the opposite sex?
Although I have this idea, after thinking about it carefully, I feel that it doesn't look like it.
The first and most important link is the King of Jiaoxi who has been stationed in the southwest.
Liu Guang's most important policy must be to target the King of Jiaoxi. After all, everyone in the world knows that if it were not Liu Guang, then the King of Jiaoxi would take the throne. This is a fact that no one can dispute.
I believe that Liu Guang himself knew about this matter, and it was impossible for him not to take thunderous measures against King Jiaoxi.
And judging from the actions of the King of Jiaoxi over the years, he has been keeping a low profile and biding his time, but his ambition to compete for supremacy has never ceased.
While he was thinking about how to solve the current problem and try his best to preserve the elite troops he still had in hand, Chen Ligang, who was standing on the city wall, was already aware of this very important issue.
He silently closed the folding fan that had been open slowly.
Guo Huai, who was standing aside, obviously did not consider this deeper level. He was happy that he had finally repelled the enemy's attack. When counting the casualties, he was surprised to find that it seemed that his own strength Not much was lost!
"Mr. Chen, why did the Huns suddenly retreat? Are they afraid of our reinforcements?"
Although Guo Huai was very excited, he realized after a moment that these reinforcements were obviously not here to rescue him sincerely.
Even if the Huns retreat, what this group of people will do next is probably no different from what the Huns will do.
At this moment, he felt some endless confusion and hesitation. This battle was fought over and over again, but in the end there was still no result.
Even though the emperor was extremely powerful and even invited the most powerful civil servant in the world to come out, their military strength was really limited. As the saying goes, a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice.
Not to mention being number one in the world, even if someone outside the world wants to fight against the hundreds of thousands of troops on the opposite side with only 5,000 troops, they will never be able to do so!
That's why he looked at Mr. Chen with worry and fear.
Although Chen Ligang was not as cool and calm as before, he still seemed calm. Even in such a dangerous situation, he still did not feel that it was a terrifying situation where he would risk his life and survive.
"It doesn't matter if there are reinforcements or not. The reason they retreat is probably because they want to turn around and deal with the rear."
Chen Ligang gently shook the folding fan in his hand while thinking about countermeasures. What he was most worried about now was not what this side would do. With his strength, it was quite easy to stop Dong Qing's remaining tens of thousands of people, even if they were right there. The outer city of the capital, but so what?
What he is really worried about now is that once the Xiongnu retreats and fights with the soldiers behind them, Dong Qing will directly break up with each other. What will Yanzhou think?
Everyone in the world knew that Liu Guang had retreated to Yanzhou. All the soldiers in Yanzhou welcomed him as if they were an emperor, but Liu Guang only had less than 30,000 troops in his hands!
If this is really the case, what should be done?
Chen Ligang had never worried about himself. Although he seemed to have only the five thousand soldiers and horses guarding the capital, Liu Guang also left him a thousand elites, which he had never disclosed to the public.
He wasn't worried about this trump card.
