This is not only what the deputy general is worried about, it is also what Huo Ji is most worried about.
There are more than 3,000 soldiers left. I wonder how long they can hold off the Yan army?
"Clean up the battlefield immediately. If the Yan army really comes, then we will have no choice but to fight to the death." Huo Ji clenched his fists and said firmly.
"By the way, there are also grains and grasses seized from the enemy. I have more than three thousand sergeants, half a month's rations, and other grains and grasses. Burn them all without leaving a grain!"
As long as we can defend this majestic city, then! The food and grass escorted from Youdu to the front line cannot be sent to Gongsun Yan on the front line.
Moreover, it is estimated that the food and fodder for the 300,000 Yan troops on the front line will soon be exhausted.
"General, I understand!" the deputy general gave the order.
Do it immediately.
The two hundred thousand stones of grain and grass seized were immediately gathered together and set ablaze by the Qin army.
Except for what he could use, Huo Ji burned everything that was edible in this majestic city.
In order to eliminate all harm in the city, Huo Ji captured more than 3,000 Yan troops and gathered them all together, and then! Just use arrows to kill them all, leaving no one behind.
Not one of the ten thousand Yan troops stationed in Xiongcheng survived.
Huo Ji looked at the Yan army on the front line not far away, clenched his fists tightly, and then said viciously: "Then... our Qin army will have to fight to the death!"
Outside this Xiongcheng, there are soldiers from the Yan Army's front line running back every day.
The news that this majestic city was captured by the Qin army would be known to Gongsun Yan in just a day or two.
Outside Xiongcheng, the spies sent by Huo Ji also killed many Yan soldiers who went to Xiongcheng.
Outside the Yan Road of Xiongcheng, a group of ten cavalrymen galloped over the grassland.
"We are almost reaching Xiongcheng, please be careful."
"There has been no news from the groups of brothers we sent for two days."
"The military advisor suspects that there is something wrong with Xiongcheng."
The leader of the Yan army gave instructions to the brothers on both sides.
"promise!"
The soldiers behind him immediately responded.
On both sides, on the higher slopes, dozens of Qin soldiers stretched out their heads, looked at the Yan Army cavalry, and suddenly couldn't help but complain: "What's going on with this Yan Army?"
"Run here every two days!"
"Get ready for me. Give me the heads of these Yan troops." said the young commander of the Qin army.
"promise!"
The next second, dozens of Qin soldiers took out the weapons in their hands.
A few guards were left behind, and the others immediately ran towards the war horses behind them.
"Brothers, come on!"
There were cavalry on both sides, rushing out from the left and right to kill the Yan soldiers.
"Commander, look, the Qin Army... is actually the Qin Army!"
The faces of these dozen Yan soldiers showed expressions of disbelief.
The appearance of the Qin army here means that this majestic city has been occupied by the Qin army.
"General, we can't go any further. Go back quickly and report to the military advisor."
Several soldiers said anxiously.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Qin army's arrows had already been shot over. The few people who were still talking were instantly killed by the flying arrows and fell off their horses.
"General, leave quickly. Remember to avenge us." The remaining soldiers put their bodies in front of General Yan Jun.
Na Yan was heartbroken and immediately turned his horse's head, "Brothers, I will definitely avenge you."
More than a dozen Yan soldiers were killed in an instant, and only the young general of Yan State fled.
"We can't let him escape!"
If he were allowed to escape, the news would be revealed.
However, the equestrian skills of this young general from Yan State are really good, and! The war horse was galloping like the wind. Qin's war horse still failed to catch up with it, but it just shot the latter in the chest!
I just hope that this arrow can kill this young general!
But after all, one of them escaped. Qin Bing immediately returned to the city and reported the news to Huo Ji.
After hearing the news, Huo Ji's expression did not change.
"General, I am incompetent, please punish me!"
"well!"
"What is supposed to come will always come. If Gongsun Yan fails to find out any news about Xiongcheng after three days, the latter will guess that something is wrong with Xiongcheng!"
Huo Ji sighed and said, "Go and recruit all the soldiers sent out back to the city!"
"No!" The young general hesitated for a while and immediately accepted the order.
"Your Majesty, I have captured Xiongcheng. I hope you will understand the situation! Otherwise, everything I have done will be in vain." Huo Ji looked up at the sky and prayed secretly in his heart.
It takes about half a day.
The lieutenant general, General Yan, staggered back to the front line camp.
At this time, on the front line, the Qin army attacked the city and took out the stronghold, while the Yan army fought and retreated.
However, the Qin army suffered huge losses.
"General and military advisor, something bad has happened!"
At this moment, Wang Wen, who was patrolling outside, helped the injured soldier in.
Seeing the injured young general, Gongsun Yan and Gongsun Miao could no longer sit still.
"What's going on?" Gongsun Miao looked at the half-dead young general and asked anxiously.
The young general used his last breath and immediately shouted: "General, Xiongcheng... is lost... lost!"
After saying that, the latter seemed to be relieved, fell to the ground, and breathed his last.
"What?"
This news hit everyone's heads like a bolt from the blue.
"Xiongcheng is lost, Xiongcheng is actually lost!" Gongsun Miao muttered.
It was hard for him to imagine that the great city garrisoned by 10,000 troops was lost like this.
But... how did the Qin soldiers who attacked Xiongcheng get past!
At this time, what did Gongsun Yan seem to have thought of?
That night, they put all their energy into attacking Qin's artillery positions and relaxed the defense of the border.
"That night, Qin State left behind the corpses of its secret guards to deceive others!"
Even though they knew they were going to die, these secret guards would still carry out their orders without hesitation. Such an army was too terrifying.
However, Gongsun Yan understood what would happen to the Yan State that lost its majestic city.
The land in Liaodong of Yan State, as well as the land hundreds of miles away from Youdu, will be exposed to the sword of Qin State.
Qin's cavalry can gallop without restraint.
"Military advisor, what should we do now?" Gongsun Miao couldn't help but ask as he slumped on his chair.
"According to my estimation, the Qin army that captured Xiongcheng will not be very large."
"For the current plan, we can only lead the army and take back Xiongcheng."
"However, our army is divided into separate operations and its strength is dispersed, which is very likely to allow the Qin army on the front line to break through the defense line."
Gongsun Yan frowned.
To be honest, since he became the military advisor, he has never been as confused as he is today.
"Che Qianqiu, allow your 50,000 troops to attack the city from all sides and capture the city as quickly as possible!" Gongsun Yan ordered.
