Chapter 814

Chang'an is already a dangerous city.

After the Rong army captured the four cities of Hanoi, Hexi, Dongshan and Chencang, it pushed forward with the trend, and more than 100,000 troops pressed in front of Chang'an City.

The imperial court mobilized people from all sides, and people from Pingye, Qingqiu, and Guangling poured into Chang'an City, and now the total strength of Chang'an City has reached 80,000. And the commander-in-chief of these 80,000 horses is not the next one, it is Li Letian, the son of heaven of the Dawu Dynasty.

Li Letian had high hopes for Ma Mengqi, Chen Meng, Luo Yi, and Luo Cheng at the beginning, but as a result, none of the four was sorry for his expectations. After all, they are too young, and in time, they may be able to grow into pillars of the country. But now, none of the four of them has the ability to command a large-scale battle.

After all, others can't be trusted, and the only one who can rely on them is themselves.

Li Letian himself knows his ability, and he is not the master of destiny who uses soldiers like a god. But whether he is ready or not, he must go to war. As the king of a country, he can't go back, he can only go up.

Hard top.

When the Rong army came to the city of Chang'an, they did not hesitate and attacked the city overnight. However, the city walls were thick, and the city gate was not breached within three days, but their own side suffered heavy casualties.

The battle was ceased for three days, and the siege continued after three days. This time, more than 100,000 people were driven to build high-rise buildings outside the city. Archers shoot arrows from tall buildings in Chang'an City. Trebuchets, siege vehicles, bed crossbows and other siege equipment were transferred from the four cities of Hanoi, Ha Xi, Dong Son and Tran Cang, and thousands of trebuchets fired in volleys, which was spectacular and mighty.

Li Letian took off his dragon robe, changed into a military uniform, and personally commanded the battle on the city wall. The emperor's morale battle, round after round of the siege of the Rong people.

The two sides were deadlocked for more than a month, and Chang'an City was not breached.

In this battle, the city defense army in Chang'an City was about 80,000, and the total strength of the Rong people this time was 200,000, leaving some people to guard the four cities of Hanoi, and there were only more than 100,000 people and horses responsible for attacking Chang'an City.

However, the number of participants in this battle was by no means more than 180,000. After the Rong people captured the four cities of Hanoi, they drove the people in the city to work as coolies, and the number was hundreds of thousands.

All the people in Chang'an City are soldiers, and young and middle-aged people need to go to the city gate to carry large stones and sasswood.

A city of Chang'an, with more than one million people on both sides participating in the war. And this part of the people is also the easiest type of people to sacrifice on the battlefield.

Inside and outside the city, corpses were everywhere, rivers of blood flowed, and countless casualties were immense. Chang'an City heard the sound of ghosts every night, and every family cried.

A month later, the Rong people withdrew from the 100-mile range of Chang'an City. Of course, this does not mean the end of the war, but the coming of winter.

The Rong retreated to the four cities of Hanoi, rested their troops, and raised mainly to grab grain and grass for the next spring war. Li Letian in Chang'an City could only breathe a sigh of relief at this time, but at the same time, he also knew in his heart that the cruelty of the war had just begun.

At this time, Bai Yuanfei arrived in Chang'an City.

Of course, he can't enter Chang'an City, and now Chang'an City is strictly guarded, and no one is allowed to leave the city and enter the city without permission unless there is a seal.

Bai Yuanfei led the thin horse around Chang'an City and saw many fleeing homeless people. In this war, the residents of Chang'an City are not having a good time, and it is impossible to say that tomorrow the city gate will be breached, and their wives and daughters will be ruined by the barbarians of the Rong tribe. But you know, there are many people who are not qualified to enter the city, and they often live outside the city, selling some side dishes and making some hard work in the city.

Now that the soldiers are in the city, of course Li Letian can't take care of them, and they are also the first to face the iron hooves of the Rong clan.

Looking at Chang'an City before sunset, Bai Yuanfei sighed softly. The city is towering, but it has also been weathered, and now some people are stepping up repairs, but they can't hide its decay. If you can't stop the red sun from sinking in the west.

Bai Yuanfei turned over and rode north.

After traveling for a few more days, he came to Dongshan City.

Because of the cold climate in winter, the two armies ceased fighting. The king of the Rong clan, Ye Yuanhuo, stayed in Dongshan City.

It is always only worse, not the worst. I have to say that this time the Rong people were extremely restrained, and after breaking through the four cities of Hanoi, they did not slaughter the city with one brain, but only slaughtered one or two to reward the three armies.

But the so-called restraint is nothing more than that. Although the city was not slaughtered in a full-scale manner, it was not a bad thing for the soldiers to grab some property, spoil a few women they met on the road, or take the heads of some people to practice archery.

As long as things are not overdone and cause an uncontrollable mess, the current Nohara Fire has no idea of rectifying military discipline.

At night, Bai Yuanfei came to the front of Dongshan City. He looked up at the city in front of him, patted the head of the thin horse that was sitting down, and sighed.

"Wait for me to come back, old man, if you can't wait for me, you can run for your life. ”

As he spoke, he rose up, his body like a bat in the night, and gently climbed on the city wall.

The hands and feet were firmly attached to the city wall as if they had sharp claws, and they used their hands and feet together, and they didn't have much time to come to the city wall.

Unlike what was expected, Higashiyama Castle's defense was not as tight as expected. Looking at the past from Bai Yuanfei's point of view, there are several defensive vacancies, if you lead a large army to attack, you can break through the city without much effort.

Seeing that there were no patrols nearby, he took out a pamphlet from his bosom and drew a defense map of Higashiyama Castle on it with a carbon stick.

Even the entire empire doesn't know much about the Rong people. Everyone often denounces them as barbarians who drink blood, and they are afraid and disgusted in their hearts. But under the influence of Cheng Dalei, the people who came out of Toad Village would not underestimate any enemy. Bai Yuanfei has gone deep into the enemy camp this time, if he can know the characteristics of the Rong tribe's defense, it will also be a great achievement after passing it back to the toad village.

I hastily drew a few strokes in the booklet, and more things were written down in my head. Bai Yuanfei turned over and jumped off the city tower and sneaked into Dongshan City.

As we approached the location of the City Lord's Mansion, there were more and more people patrolling the streets. Bai Yuanfei didn't dare to be careless, and acted cautiously, sometimes having to take a long detour.

There may be a fire in the middle of the city, and the flames seem to burn the sky. Bai Yuanfei had already seen it once and didn't dare to look at it again. He knew that it was the Rong people who were burning the corpses, and the residents of the city were crushed to death by the Rong people, and the corpses were piled up, that is, they were burned clean.

Although Bai Yuanfei was a thief, he also felt creepy at the moment. He was not a good person in the first place, and he had done evil things, but before the great evil of war, what he did was not worth mentioning.

First fear, then anger. Subsequently, a shocking idea popped up in Bai Yuanfei's mind: if he could kill Yeyuan Huo, first, he could get out of his heart, and second, would he be able to end this war early?

Of course, I understood the boldness of this idea in my heart, when Cheng Dalei could assassinate the king of the Rong clan, it was a light skill and a fast sword, but Bai Yuanfei did not have Cheng Dalei's ability.

But once the thought popped up, it could no longer be contained.
