?Burn? Wen Xiao? Say? ?? ???.? r?a n?ena`com
The night is shrouded, the Xijing City is dark in all directions, and the smell of blood is still permeated in the dry air.
In the night sky, from time to time, vultures and crows were heard, and the Dandong army had no time to clear the battlefield to forage for food.
The black clouds float on a moonlit night, like a lonely ghost wandering in the sky, accompanied by the cries of vultures and crows, and the atmosphere is strange and tense.
Jin Quanzhong, Lu Dasheng led the troops to defeat in battle, fled back to the city with the remnants of the army, and told the city gate guards to be vigilant, so as not to attack the Dandong army at night, and be beaten unguarded, as if Han Zhongkai was captured by the Dandong army.
In a trance, he went to the government in a panic.
Today, the Dandong army surprised the attack, and the cavalry from all walks of life fought one after another, and the iron cavalry was unstoppable, so that the Silla army could defend in three ways outside the city, like a ruined wall that was easily broken by the Dandong army.
Three lines of defense, 120,000 elites, in the cruel war, lost as much as eighty percent, or killed, or captured.
Those lying in the grass, scarred and bleeding, like the felled trees left behind by the woodcutters who were attacked by wild beasts.
Every time the tragic picture of the war comes to mind, Jin Quanzhong and Lu Dasheng can't help but tremble and be frightened.
200,000 elites, one battle, only nearly 100,000 people in the city, Jin Quanzhong, Lu Dasheng and the second general are clearly aware of the serious problems brought about by this battle, and hope to meet with Jin Wuda as soon as possible to discuss solutions.
Dressed in blood-stained armor, they hurried to Jin Wuda's study.
In the study, the candlelight flickered, and Kim Wuda sat on the soft couch, his eyes closed, not sure whether he was closing his eyes to recuperate, or learning about the situation of the Silla army and considering the future of the Silla army.
Jin Quanzhong, Lu Dasheng, strode into the study and bowed to Jin Wuda.
Jin Wuda's eyes slowly opened, staring at the second general Jin Quanzhong, and said lightly: "You're back?"
"Marshal, this battle, this battle..."Lu Dasheng was angry in his heart, and wanted to report the battlefield to Jin Wuda.
How could 100,000 elite soldiers die, Han Zhongkai was captured by the Dandong army, and Lu Dasheng was difficult to speak.
Jin Wuda waved his hand slowly, motioned for Lu Dasheng and the two to sit down, and said in a weak tone: "Yang Yue sent an army to the battle, beyond the expectations of the commander, how can the enemy attack by surprise, our defense is even worse, fortunately, there are still half of the elites in the city, and there is still a buffer opportunity.
It's just that leading the troops back to Tugi Province may be difficult to execute in a short time."
Hearing this, Lu Dasheng said anxiously: "Commander, you still don't know, Yang Yue sent the generals to remove us from the defense outside the city, Yang Yue personally stationed troops at the east gate, and there was no idea of letting us leave at all, the last general suspected that after nightfall, Wei Jiyan, Yan Yuefeng, there must be generals to replace Yang Yue, personally guarding the east gate, even outside the south gate and the north gate, they will be surrounded by the Dandong army."
"That's right, Marshal, at present, our army is in a bad situation, there is no difference between it and the turtle in the urn, the king is anxious to summon us to return to Dugi Province, Yang Yue led the troops to besiege the city, it is difficult for the army to leave safely, not to mention, I don't know when, the number of iron cavalry under Yang Yue's tent has surged, there are not many cavalry in the Silla army, not to mention the iron cavalry, the other party is attacking with defense, and we will be consumed, and the Silla army will be defeated sooner or later." Jin Quanzhong's face was even more angry, and the 40,000 elites under his account were scattered by the Dandong army, and there were too many casualties.
As the Optimus Prime of the Silla Army, Kim Muda is the banner figure of the three armed forces, and his words do not seem to take the casualties of the Silla Army seriously at all.
After being wounded, he could not personally lead the troops into battle, and the momentum of the Silla army was seriously damaged.
If the situation of the Silla army could not be changed quickly, the western capital city would change hands sooner or later, and even Silla would be encroached upon by the Tang army step by step and become the territory of the Tang Dynasty in the invasion led by the Qin king in the south.
Jin Wuda bowed slightly, his face was helpless and hideous, and said: "What you said, this handsome heart is like a mirror, there is a defense of Xijing City, and he can escape a catastrophe, if there is no city wall defense, Yang Yue's iron cavalry will sweep the Silla army.
At this moment, the only way to do this is to wait for Chen Youkun to bring the Yuwen family to come, maybe Silla still has hope of alleviating the crisis."
"Dashuai, we must not pin our hopes on the Yuwen family, we must fend for ourselves." Lu Dasheng retorted sharply, clenched his fists, took two or three steps forward, and said with a very firm expression: "The last general proposes to take advantage of Yang Yue's start to deploy defenses at the east gate and lead the troops to kill, and move to Dugi Province."
"Dashuai, if you continue to stay in Xijing City, you will undoubtedly become a trapped beast, and your situation will get worse and worse." Jin Quanzhong reminded that his tone was not as violent as Lu Dasheng, but he still didn't want to stay in Xijing City.
However, Jin Wuda asked softly: "General Lu, General Jin, most of Yang Yue's tent are iron cavalry, if you lead the Silla army to break through from the east gate, maybe you have not broken through, and the cavalry from all sides of the western capital will inevitably rush to kill quickly, and it will definitely be a bloody road to transfer to Dugi Province.
Evacuate unless you have a good plan to get rid of the cavalry, and Hugh will not mention this matter again."
"This...."
Lu Dasheng and Jin Quanzhong looked at each other, their expressions were full of embarrassment, no matter how the infantry ran, they would definitely not be able to outrun the cavalry, and in the end, they would be gradually swallowed by the Dandong cavalry.
Jin Wuda glanced at Lu Dasheng and Jin Quanzhong's second general, and said weakly: "You quickly go to the camp, rectify the order, treat the wounded, and let Yang Yue send troops to attack the city late at night, don't waste time here."
"Yes!"
Lu Dasheng, Jin Quanzhong was not very interested, and bowed down and withdrew from the study.
Walking out of the study, Lu Dasheng and Jin Quanzhong walked side by side in the corridor, Lu Dasheng suddenly turned to look at Jin Quanzhong and asked, "General Jin, at present, what good method do you have?"
"The marshal refused to lead the troops to abandon the city and flee, and Jin felt that the only way to get in touch with the Jianghu sect was to spend a lot of money, and strive to invite a master to assassinate Yang Yue and his generals." Jin Quanzhong said his inner thoughts, which is completely different from the battlefield combat method.
Lu Dasheng stared at Jin Quanzhong with a stunned expression, was silent for a moment, and asked: "General Jin, not long ago, Yang Yue personally defeated the marshal, Wei Jiyan captured Han Zhongkai, and the generals under Yang Yue are good at martial arts, unless they are masters of the land list.
However, don't forget that there are very few masters in the Silla land list, and it is not easy to buy them with a lot of money."
"General Lu, what if you send elite soldiers to Guannai and invite the masters of the land list? Don't forget, Yang Yue annexed Pinglu, Han Xifan hated Yang Yue to the core, although the generals under Han Xifan could not defeat Yang Yue in the battlefield, but Han Xifan controlled many forces in the rivers and lakes, if he succeeded in lobbying Han Xifan and sent the masters of the land list to Xijing City to assassinate the generals under Yang Yue, he would definitely deal a blow to Yang Yue's arrogance." Jin Quanzhong reminded. The expression is resolute and resolute.
When Lu Dasheng was silent for a while, he bowed his head slightly and said, "General Jin, you might as well try, if you succeed, it's even better."
"Kim will arrange it." Jin Quanzhong turned his head and glanced at Jin Wuda's study, and responded softly.
......
Outside Xijing City.
In the camp of the West Gate, Wei Jiyan arranged for Hu Yanzhuo and Zhang Qi to quickly count the casualties of the Dandong Army and send military doctors to treat the wounded soldiers in the Dandong Army. Ordered Su Yanqing to lead the troops to the east gate and join the infantry under Yang Yuehui's account.
