After Ren Jun left, Ming Gao took over the city defense, but it was not until the next day that he changed the Dahu flag to the Mingzi flag.
Seeing the flags on the city being replaced, the troops outside also knew that the commander on the opposite side had changed again.
Regarding this matter, Chen Wujiang praised Nie Chen greatly and praised his resourcefulness.
Nie Chen shamelessly accepted it and brought up the matter of two tigers again.
King Pingxi ignored him.
The war continued for three more days. During these three days, the Feng army's offensive was not strong, but heavy weapons kept attacking the city wall, but the attacking army seemed very weak.
Despite this, Ming Gao did not dare to take it lightly. He was always on guard against sudden enemy attacks and kept Ren Jun's words in mind.
and strictly enforce it.
At night, Chen Wujiang called all the military advisors and commanders of the two armies together for a meeting.
After the coaches of both sides and the commanders of all armies arrived, King Pingxi sat upright and said in a deep voice,
"Everyone, I received news today that Mingxuan's son Mingwen has arrived at Zhennanguan today and opened the gate to let the 500,000 Qi troops outside enter Zhennanguan.
In addition, King Andong announced to the world that he would establish a country and proclaim himself emperor, and he would ascend the throne in three days. The same was true for King Jingshan, who would also ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor in three days.
The Qi army has entered Zhennanguan, and the door of our country has been opened. Next, the Qi army will inevitably march straight into the capital. If the journey goes smoothly, they will arrive in the capital in two months.
There are also King Andong and King Jingshan. After they become emperor, they will definitely send troops to us, either to attack the capital with the Qi army, or to attack our rear.
Therefore, our time is actually running out. We must capture the capital as soon as possible, eliminate Mingxuan first, and then concentrate on dealing with the armies of Qi, An, and Jing.
We pretended to attack for three days, but the enemy soldiers were already paralyzed, their fighting spirit was not high, and their morale was low.
I plan to launch a general attack tomorrow and capture the capital in one go.
In this battle, I will be the vanguard in person. We will gather all the strongest generals to charge with me and scale the city wall in one go. "
When King Pingxi spoke, his tone was cold and his eyes were like lightning, which made everyone present feel frightened.
Having said this, King Pingxi was about to give an order. Suddenly he remembered something, looked at Nie Chen again, and asked,
"What do you think?"
Nie Chen had black lines on his head and said with a smile,
"Brother, has this always been how you fight?"
"Yes, my king's combat command has always been like this. All commands are carried out by me with full authority. The commanders and generals of each army can just obey the orders.
You are here this time. If you were not here, I would have given the order directly and would not have asked others for their opinions. "
Nie Chen couldn't help but laugh. This was really King Ping Xi's fighting style. The entire army was completely under his command. He alone coordinated the entire army, made comprehensive plans, issued orders and prohibitions, and everyone just obeyed his orders.
This has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the orders are clear, everyone listens to him, there will be no disputes and different opinions, and he can understand the battlefield situation and make meticulous arrangements.
The disadvantage is that his army has almost no independent thinking. Once it leaves him, it is basically impossible to complete the operation alone, and the commander does not play a big role.
On Nie Chen's side, the situation was exactly the opposite. Nie Chen rarely spoke in public. Most of the time, everyone expressed their opinions and spoke freely. The military advisor and the commander-in-chief discussed together, and finally Nie Chen made a decision and chose a feasible plan.
In this case, even if his army leaves him and fights independently, he can still win the battle.
Therefore, King Pingxi was born handsome, while Nie Chen was more like a qualified lord and a politician.
This time, Nie Chen still did not act arbitrarily. Instead, he looked at the person on his side and asked,
"What do you think?"
Everyone looked at each other, Liang Peng stood up and said,
"My lord, it is feasible to attack the city with all our strength. Our four powerful generals can all concentrate on the Beiying side. However, the last general suggested that we should not launch a fierce attack yet. First, let us attack from three sides. After attracting the enemy's main force, let the enemy Don't look at each other from head to tail.
The Beiying side needs to make a sudden attack and carry out a fierce attack before they can directly tear open the opening.
Lord, after you enter the city from the Beiying side, immediately lead the army to support the other three city walls, open the city gates, let the main force of our army enter the city, and defeat the enemy in one battle. "
Nie Chen nodded when he heard this and said,
"Well, this plan is feasible. Don't stop attacking on the three walls. Once chaos breaks out in the city, you will also have opportunities to attack the city.
Prince, what do you think of this? "
After thinking for a moment, King Pingxi nodded and said,
"Well, this plan is feasible, let's do it like this. According to the previous distribution, we will start to intensify the attack on the city tomorrow. When it is almost noon, I will personally be the vanguard, lead our fierce generals to the city, and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop."
"As you command!"
After the discussion, the generals went back to rest. Nie Chen and Chen Wujiang chatted about the war for a while, and then they all dispersed.
Early the next morning, smoke rose from the barracks. There was meat in today's meal, which was extraordinarily rich and filling. Many veterans knew what was going on when they saw today's meal.
This is going to be a tough battle.
The soldiers were well fed and carrying dry food with them, ready for a bloody battle with the enemy.
Nie Chen, Chen Wujiang and others were also eating in the handsome tent.
Suddenly, a figure broke into the handsome tent. Mo Wan'er jumped in with a spear in hand and said,
"I heard there's going to be a general attack today? I want to be the vanguard and be the first to hit the city wall."
Hearing this, Nie Chen smiled and said,
"Who did you hear that there was going to be a general attack today?"
"That's what the veterans in the military camp say. They said there was meat in the meal today, so a general attack must be launched. They also asked me to eat more to make sure I'm full."
Mo Waner, wearing light armor and holding a spear in her hand, said proudly.
"You can't be a vanguard. I want to assign you a more important job than a vanguard."
"What errand is more important than climbing the city wall first?"
Nie Chen said with a smile,
"This is right here. When we attack, Mr. Ouyang, Mr. Jin, my wife, and the prince's wife will stay in the camp. They cannot go to the battlefield. They can only enter after the capital is completely conquered and the situation is stable.
Our army is in chaos, and the enemy's army will also be in chaos. We must be careful of the enemy's chaotic troops coming out to sneak attack on our commander's tent.
There are all the most important people here. One hundred Mingxuans are not as important as one person here.
Therefore, protecting them is the most important thing. "
Hearing this, Mo Waner said with a bitter face,
"Ah? Protect others. I don't want to do it. I want to go into battle and kill the enemy. Don't underestimate me. I might have beaten you."
