It's day and night.
Huo Qiji stood on the city wall and looked down.
Everything as far as the eye could see was pitch black.
Just like the future of Daqian.
In everyone's mind, they thought that Daqian was now impregnable under his defense.
But only he knows that the day when the city will be destroyed is not far away!
In the past few days, he relied on the city gate and indeed caused a lot of obstacles to Beiyan's 300,000 cavalry.
But this obstacle is limited after all.
After the other party realized this, the pace of the siege slowly began to slow down and began to seek stability.
Strive to cause maximum damage to the gate of Dagandu City with minimum loss.
Obviously, the other party's strategy was successful.
As a defender of the city, you must target the city gate and the opponent. No matter how outstanding Huo Qiji's military skills are, this will not change.
And since the city gate is being pulled, the city gate will definitely be destroyed!
Unless... they go out of the city to go head-to-head with Beiyan's 300,000 cavalry!
However, everyone knows that this is impossible.
"General Huo? Haven't you slept yet?" Wei Qing also walked up to the city wall wearing thin clothes.
Over the past few days, his inner worries have eased a little.
It's not that I feel like I have a chance to win, it's just that I'm numb.
Huo Qiji had long told him that the gates of the capital city would one day be abandoned.
So unlike the soldiers on the city wall, he knew Huo Qiji's entire battle plan.
Only by working together as a last resort, these two great cadres can only rely on 30,000 veterans and 20,000 new recruits to be stationed until now!
Yes, 20,000 new soldiers have already been on the city wall! Start cooperating to build fortifications!
And it was precisely because of their appearance that the number of casualties in Daqian's army began to skyrocket.
There is nothing we can do about it.
The new recruits must go through the test of blood and fire, and watch the people they used to laugh and curse with die one after another before their eyes, in order to grow into a qualified veteran.
Huo Qiji nodded, and then asked: "How was the collection of tung oil and hay? Did it meet the general's standards?"
When Wei Qing heard this, his expression suddenly became solemn and he said sternly: "Are you ready to abandon the city?"
Huo Qiji nodded and did not deny: "Although the gate of Qiandu City is thick, it cannot withstand their indiscriminate bombardment for several days. In my opinion, as long as the opponent still maintains the rhythm from the beginning, I am afraid it will not be used." In a few days, this city gate will be breached.”
"Instead of doing this, why not give this city gate to them along with that great gift!"
When Wei Qing heard this, he took a deep breath and looked a little depressed.
How long has it been before the first line of defense is on the verge of being broken?
But he also knew that this was not because Huo Qiji was incompetent, but because it was difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw.
As long as Huo Qiji was given 100,000 men, he would dare to go out of the city and fight the opponent directly.
Or lead 10,000 people to fight guerrilla warfare against the opponent in dangerous terrain.
But it happened to be fighting a city defense battle when the strength was extremely different. It must be said that this was Huo Qiji's weakness.
But even if it is a weakness, it is relative. Compared with the military attachés and the like left in the Daqian court, it is already much stronger.
Therefore, not only did he have no reason to blame Huo Qiji, he didn't even have such an idea.
He was simply discouraged.
But soon, he adjusted his mentality, nodded, and said: "How many days will it be implemented?"
"Three days later!"
"Okay! I'm going to evacuate the people."
"Don't forget to set up an ambush in the streets and alleys of Zhengde Sanfang."
"Only recruits are needed for an ambush."
Wei Qing nodded, turned and left, leaving Huo Qiji alone looking into the dark night.
…
Three days later.
Beiyan cavalry commander camp.
Murong Yan listened to the reports from his generals and nodded with satisfaction.
"Everyone, according to what you said, our steady and steady strategy is very effective."
"The walls of Dagandu City are indeed extremely strong, but after several days of wear and tear, they are probably on the verge of collapse!"
"Wait for tomorrow, let's work together to attack the city and attack the palace!"
When the generals heard this, their eyes suddenly showed excitement, emotion, and cruelty.
"What happens after we enter the city?" Someone asked what everyone was thinking.
Some people frowned slightly, some people grinned wider, and some people were extremely excited.
"Of course, massacre the city!"
Finally someone said what everyone was thinking.
In an instant, the entire handsome tent fell silent.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Murong Yan.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths.
Three full breaths passed, and the commander of Beiyan's 300,000-strong army did not object!
The generals were completely relieved and had already begun to dream about tomorrow's massacre feast.
Just like three hundred years ago, the Great Ancestor of Daqian entered their imperial city and slaughtered their ancestors!
I wonder if that overlord could have imagined that a few years later, his descendants would one day be slaughtered!
However, just as the generals were thinking about it, the herald gasped and ran into the commander's tent.
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, it's not good!"
As soon as these words came out, the originally cheerful atmosphere in the handsome tent suddenly stopped.
Murong Yan narrowed her eyes slightly and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"
"Just now there was a lot of movement in Qian's capital. The young men stepped forward to check and found that the Suzaku Gate in Nancheng was already wide open."
"The other party led many elite soldiers and strong generals to come out and drove back many of our guards in the southern city."
"Subsequently, many people in the city escaped!"
boom!
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the handsome tent suddenly became extremely tense.
Several generals stood up directly and looked at Murong Yan, waiting for him to give orders.
Murong Yan also frowned slightly, her face looking a little ugly.
During the days of siege, he had already realized that the opponent's defending generals were not weak.
On the contrary, his military achievements are no less than or even surpass his.
Faced with such an opponent, it would obviously be unwise to disperse our forces and attack the four walls at the same time.
Therefore, they mainly attacked the Xuanwu Gate in the north.
In comparison, the sieges at the other three city gates were relatively weakened.
This allowed the other party to find an opportunity to take advantage of it.
However, do you really think you can run out?
"Hmph! Send me an order from my commander-in-chief to send a team of men to hunt down the remnants who escaped from Qiandu City."
"The remaining people, follow me to attack the city!"
"Take advantage of the darkness and rush directly into the city!"
"promise!"
The quality of Beiyan's 300,000 cavalry is indeed not low, at least they can still execute orders and prohibitions.
Soon, an army of several thousand people left the base camp and chased the fleeing people.
The remaining more than 100,000 troops launched a fierce attack on Xuanwu Gate in the north!
However, what happened next was beyond their imagination!
