After two days of repairs, the army launched an attack again. However, although they had repaired for two days, their morale was obviously much weaker. However, in terms of pure military strength, Mo Yiqi did have more troops. Although the barbican city was repaired, it was still low after all. Lin Haoming's casualties also increased.
After insisting on this for more than ten days, after the construction of the inner city was basically completed, Lin Haoming no longer defended the Wengcheng. Instead, he chose to blow up the Wengcheng together with the enemy when the enemy attacked the city.
Next, it was time to retreat to the inner city. Although Wengcheng failed, it took more than half a month. The construction of the inner city had ensured that the city could be better defended. Moreover, the enemy had already lost a lot of manpower in Wengcheng. With the collapse of Wengcheng, When ordinary soldiers saw the stronger and taller city wall behind them, not only did they not feel happy about taking over the barbican city, but their morale became even lower.
Mo Yiqi is indeed a famous general. Seeing this situation, he did not order another attack on the city. He knew that there was not much point in continuing the attack. There were experts in the opponent's city, and Yang Xisheng himself was known for his good defense. At present, the opponent had built the city wall to Although the current situation is still far away from the original city defense on the other side, Mo Yiqi's conclusion is that it cannot be defeated.
It's just that His Majesty has appointed himself as the Commander-in-Chief of the Eastern Expedition to oversee the overall situation. The troops are pressing down on the border but in the end they have failed. I'm afraid that if I go back like this, the best result will be that I will be demoted and idle. The worst-case scenario, I might be imprisoned.
Compared with other generals, Mo Yiqi considers himself to be the best in the entire Western God Kingdom in terms of military skills. When Yi Yasheng was alive, he praised himself, but Mo Yiqi also knew his own problems. He was not good at communicating with others by nature, so even though he was talented, But most of the time, he is not reused. If it weren't for an urgent matter this time, and there are indeed no generals who dare to take orders, this matter would not be his turn. But now that it has become like this, how will he explain it when he goes back.
Although His Majesty is not a faint king, he has only been on the throne for about ten years because he was young and vigorous. In addition, he defeated the North and South Allied Forces two years ago, so he has a lot of ambitions. If Yi Yasheng had not died, I am afraid he would have already sent troops. If he had If you win, you will be reused. If you lose... Mo Yiqi feels more and more uncomfortable the more he thinks about it. He never thought about defeat before he came. However, it was too late when people from all walks of life gathered together. In addition, Yang Xisheng actually changed his safe method. , sending people to harass and intercept, really made Mo Yiqi feel troubled.
"Grand Governor." Mo Yiqi was in a distressed mood. He temporarily repaired himself and locked himself up to think. After a day, he finally heard someone speaking in his ear, and it was a familiar voice.
There was only one person who could come in without being notified, his wife's brother Ji Yanfeng, who was accompanied by his own army. He didn't get married until he was nearly 30 years old, but he went on an expedition with General Yi the next day, and it took three years before he returned to be with this wife. We get together less and divorce more. More than ten years ago, after many years of marriage, my wife finally became pregnant. However, when I returned, my wife passed away in childbirth. My wife’s brother and my wife were quite different in age and they were raised in the house since they were young. Although they are siblings, they are more of the same. Like a child, Mo Yiqi also liked Ji Yanfeng quite a lot. Although he was young, he was very smart and he was not good at communicating with others. And this time the army of 300,000 was mobilized from all over the place, so the matter of assembling the army had to be handed over to him. Give it to him. Before, he couldn't wait for the remaining tens of thousands of horses, so he killed them first. Now that he has arrived, it means that the remaining people have also arrived.
"Yanfeng, you're here." Mo Yiqi sighed.
"The Governor didn't know what to do because he suffered a setback in his previous attack on the city?" Ji Yanfeng asked.
"It would be fine if it was just a setback. The other party has a master, and every step is a step away." Mo Yiqi said bitterly.
"Oh! I just arrived. The Governor can use these people's voluntary military flights to allow them to attack the city. Otherwise, they will be punished. I believe that in order to protect themselves, they will definitely risk their lives to attack the city." Ji Yanfeng said.
"Even so, I guess it won't work. Let me tell you what happened in the past few days." Mo Yiqi bitterly explained all the disadvantages of attacking the city.
"The Commander-in-Chief has rich military experience, which is not comparable to that of his nephew. Since the Commander-in-Chief said that the possibility of winning is unlikely, I'm afraid it really is not. But in this way, the Commander-in-Chief had received a military order when he went on the expedition. The best result after returning is to be dismissed.
Idle.”
"You can see clearly, so..."
"Grand Governor, since we can't defeat it, then the Grand Governor must consider pushing out the responsibility. The soldiers and horses from the two states have been delayed for nearly a month. However, this is not the main responsibility. If the Grand Governor wants to avoid responsibility, it is actually true.
There is a way." Ji Yanfeng said after thinking for a while.
"oh?"
"It has not yet entered autumn, but at this time, it is also the time to harvest here. The enemy's harassment previously caused serious damage to the fertile fields of local large households. Many large households have some concerns."
"You mentioned this before. I'm not asking you to supervise the people to avoid trouble."
"Grand Governor, since we can't win, we have to cause trouble so that the Grand Governor can have an excuse. And the war situation that the Grand Governor is responsible for and the power of the people belong to the governor of Nanliang County." Ji Yanfeng indicated.
"This...you mean to deliberately encourage people to cause trouble?"
"That's all we can do at the moment, but this can't be done in a short time. It is estimated that it will have to wait until winter comes. Now the governor can blame some of the responsibilities on those who came late, and then write to the court to explain the reason because they delayed the military plane.
As a result, the capture of the city will be delayed." Ji Yanfeng said.
"I can fight, but you can do these things. I'll do as you say." After thinking about it for a while, Mo Yiqi finally agreed.
Lin Haoming didn't know the changes on Mo Yiqi's side, but with the onset of autumn, although there were still wars every now and then, except for the fierce attacks in the first few days, the enemy seemed to be somewhat unable to do what they wanted.
The pressure was not that great, and Yang Xisheng was confident. At the same time, he sent more scouts on the mountain to prevent the enemy from going around behind to cause trouble.
As the cold in late autumn grew stronger, the war became calmer, and just as winter began, spies reported that a civil uprising broke out in Nanliang County, Xishen Kingdom. Mo Yiqi had to deploy troops to help suppress the uprising, so the entire
It becomes very peaceful in winter.
And just as they were waiting for the enemy army to resume their attack in the spring of next year, the army withdrew more than a hundred miles before the winter had passed. The army commander Mo Yiqi heard that he had been transferred directly because of a conflict with the Nanliang County Guard.
This series of changes made Lin Haoming feel a little weird. Although he did do some things at the beginning, based on his understanding of Mo Yiqi, it was absolutely impossible for his jurisdiction to become so bad. This made Lin Haoming even begin to doubt
, did some of them end up in the opposing army?
But no matter what, the enemy army changed its generals before the battle, and there was no pressure all winter. And taking advantage of this winter, Yang Xisheng also ordered people to build city defenses. I believe that when spring really comes, there will be no chance of attacking again.
