The 10,000 elite troops brought by Huang Zhong were veterans who had been on the battlefield for many years, and these soldiers were also direct descendants of Huang Zhong's command.
Every soldier dares to fight and kill.
This is a tough pawn.
Unlike the professional soldiers under Huang Zhong's command, the fifteen thousand Tianzhu soldiers who were killed were all stragglers, organized by ordinary Tianzhu people. These people received benefits from Victoria and temporarily organized themselves to distribute weapons.
There seemed to be a lot of people.
In fact, they are all without combat effectiveness.
The two sides walked towards each other and met in a blink of an eye. Huang Zhong was riding a horse and waved the long knife in his hand. The blade swept into the crowd. The sharp blade cut the skin and brought out a shower of blood.
The people of Tianzhu fled one after another.
Huang Zhong, however, had a stern look on his face, and he kept waving his sword, killing the Tianzhu soldiers blocking the front one by one.
The elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in the rear are also advancing rapidly.
The soldiers of the Ming army waved their swords, and the blades flashing with cold light fell down and struck the Tianzhu soldiers, drawing blood. Or maybe the blades collided, and under the pressure of force, the weapons of the Tianzhu soldiers were blown away, and then the blades fell on each of the Tianzhu soldiers.
Under the overall fighting, the Tianzhu soldiers' defense collapsed.
With a large-scale cover-up and killing, the Tianzhu soldiers could not stop the elite of the Ming army at all.
After the first wave of fighting, the Ming army became more and more courageous as they fought, but the Tianzhu soldiers still had fighting spirit after they had just fought out of the city gate. Now, even the remaining fighting spirit is gone, and he is running to both sides in a wide range.
On the battlefield outside the city, the Tianzhu soldiers were vulnerable to a single blow.
Huang Zhong led his men and quickly covered them up.
The fighting time on the battlefield was very short, but Victoria looked from a high place and could already judge the situation. She was very nervous and said: "The current situation is very unfavorable to us. Feld, do you want to continue?" Fighting?"
Felder was also very anxious.
The fighting in the Roman Empire was not so complicated.
Many things were different when fighting the Ming army.
Feld said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty the Queen, I suggest to defend, abandon all Tianzhu soldiers leaving the city, close the city gate to guard. Since we are defeated, then use the city to guard and consume Lu Xuan's troops."
Victoria was thinking rapidly in her mind.
Defend!
Can you hold it?
There is still a lot of food, grass and supplies in the city, which can last for a long time. However, she couldn't win in one go. Without the foundation to gain a foothold, it would be very dangerous in Tianzhu.
Victoria had complicated emotions in her heart. She couldn't make up her mind for a moment and ordered: "Send the order to close the city gate and seal off the inside and outside of the city."
The order was passed down and the city gate quickly closed.
All the Tianzhu soldiers who left the city were immediately abandoned, and no one escaped.
This scene caused the Tianzhu soldiers outside the city to further disperse. Originally, there were still some people who were fighting fiercely with Huang Zhong. However, when these people realized that there was no way to retreat and that there was no chance to return to the city, they simply abandoned Huang Zhong and others and ran directly towards the vicinity of Suraduo City.
After Huang Zhong's men fought for a while, there were no more enemies and they could only circle outside the city.
However, Victoria on the tower did not fight at all.
Lu Xuan ordered the army to withdraw, and he stepped forward to shout again to test Victoria. However, Victoria remained silent from beginning to end and ignored Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan returned to the military formation after a while.
He looked at the majestic city and said loudly: "Father-in-law, how do you think we can attack at this moment?"
"storm!"
Cao Cao answered without thinking.
His eyes were sharp and he said in a deep voice: "Our army has gained an absolute advantage. The military morale of the Roman Empire has begun to collapse. Launching a strong attack now is the best strategy."
Guo Jia said: "Your Majesty, I object."
Lu Xuan asked: "What does it mean to be filial?"
Guo Jia said solemnly: "What happened today was that Valens went to persuade them to surrender, and Victoria arranged for Tianzhu soldiers to go to war, but they were defeated in the first battle. The strong impression of the Roman Empire is gone."
"We have the upper hand now."
"In other words, the initiative now is in our hands, why should we take the initiative to attack?"
"Looking at Victoria on the other hand, she has been blocked again and again. She should be the one who is panicking, and she is also the one who is anxious. Because she has no way out now. At this moment, I suggest three things to be done."
Guo Jia looked wise.
When he does things, he always doesn't like to attack by force. That is the last option.
Lu Xuan asked: "What three things?"
Guo Jia said: "First, go and shout immediately and tell Victoria that our army will surround her and block her in Suratto City. Second, tell Victoria that you want to arrange for people to go to the southern port. Quickly find the location where Victoria landed and take away all the warships. Third, inform Guan Yu to also control the Guwani port, and no warships can be allowed in the port."
Lu Xuan's eyes lit up, and he understood Guo Jia's intention, and said with a smile: "Feng Xiao's intention is to further confuse Victoria's mind by shouting. At the same time, he further forces Victoria to go out of the city to fight."
Guo Jiadao: "Your Majesty is wise."
Guo Jia's eyes were excited and he said: "After Victoria fell into a desperate situation, I think she will definitely consider a retreat. Either choose Guwani Port. Or, take the road from the south. The most likely way is to go back and forth from where you are. , choose to break out to the south."
Lu Xuan praised: "Fengxiao is right, let's make arrangements according to the suggestions you mentioned."
He no longer hesitated, rode forward again, looked at the tower and said: "Victoria, I'm here again. Since you avoid fighting, I can only make other arrangements."
"Suratha City, I will continue to blockade it."
"Guwani Port, I will notify Guan Yu who is guarding it to completely block the port under martial law. At the same time, all warships will be taken away. They cannot dock at the port."
"Finally, let the surrendered Roman soldiers lead the way to the place where you will land. I will immediately arrange for the army to seize the port, destroy the few garrison under your command, and completely control the situation."
Lu Xuan said: "This is my next arrangement, you can enjoy your last time."
After speaking, Lu Xuan left.
Victoria looked at Lu Xuan's leaving figure. She wanted to order several times to leave the city and go directly to cover up and kill Lu Xuan. However, Victoria did not dare to do this. She knew very well that if she went out now, she would die.
The current situation is not suitable for fighting.
Seeing Lu Xuan leave, Victoria took Feld back to the room on the tower.
Victoria's beautiful face showed helplessness and resentment, and she said: "Teacher, the current situation is too bad and extremely difficult. Please tell us what we should do next to get out of the predicament."
"It's hard!"
Feld shook his head and answered truthfully.
Victoria looked sad.
Feld is her bishop and teacher. Even Feld can't do it, so Victoria is naturally worried.
what can we do about it?
Victoria asked: "Teacher, what if we evacuate?"
Feld said: "Since Lu Xuan has retreated and will no longer attack for the time being, he will definitely set up a dragnet outside the Sifang City Gate. If we want to retreat, we will inevitably encounter an unprecedented blockage. In other words, Lu Xuan is waiting for us to retreat, and then we will feel like starving. They pounced on us like wolves and annihilated us outside the city.”
Victoria's face was cold, but she was unwilling to give in.
Why should we admit defeat?
She wasn't at the end of her rope yet.
Victoria gritted her teeth and said with a pair of phoenix eyes flashing with fighting spirit: "I am unwilling to retreat, let alone run away in such a mess. Once I go back like this, there will definitely be a lot of public pressure in the country. Please teacher, can you help me?" I’m here to help.”
Feld's cheek twitched.
too difficult!
The current situation is very bad.
If there was still strategic depth within the Roman Empire, even if they were defeated, they could retreat further. However, in Suratu City, they would be in danger even if they went out of the city, which was very troublesome.
Victoria further said: "Teacher, you are a wise man and you must have a way. Please help me."
"Let me think about it."
Felder was helpless.
After dealing with such a queen, if he were in China, he would hide away from anyone. But in Suratra City, there was no way to retreat. He and Victoria were in the same boat and could not retreat.
Now, we can only attack further.
We can only fight desperately.
Feld thought quickly and said after a long time: "Your Majesty, if we want to reverse the situation, we can only raid Lu Xuan's camp."
Victoria asked: "Is there no other way?"
"No!"
Felder shook his head in reply.
He said solemnly: "Here in Suradhuo City, we don't have enough public opinion. In addition, we don't have enough elites to consume. We failed to take Huashi City and were surrounded, which meant the loss of a group of soldiers. The number of troops will be reduced."
"The current strength of the army is to win. If we fight head-on, we will definitely lose."
"The only way is to make a surprise attack."
A flash of light flashed in his eyes and he said: "It's just that sneak attacks must also pay attention to strategy, and you can't just do sneak attacks casually."
Seeing that the strategy of the surprise attack was not to kill them directly, Victoria became more energetic and asked: "How to arrange it specifically?"
Feld explained: "We follow the normal routine and still choose a direction to break out first to attract Lu Xuan's army to attack. When pretending to break through, Lu Xuan's troops leave the military camp, and his military camp must be empty."
"Under this premise, we will arrange an army to raid Lu Xuan's camp and destroy Lu Xuan who is stationed in the camp."
"The defeat of Libius has made us very passive. Now if we want to change from passive to active, we can only kill the generals and take the initiative to kill Lu Xuan, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Only then will we have a chance of victory."
"Her Majesty the Queen, please make a decision," Feld said.
Victoria thought carefully.
Her expression changed again. She felt that there was still a problem with Feld's plan because it was very risky. However, Victoria thought about it and couldn't think of a better way.
"Teacher, let's discuss the specific arrangements again."
Victoria eventually adopted.
Felder nodded and discussed the raid with Victoria carefully.
