Tie Qing sighed, turned around and said to the messengers behind him: "Follow the queen's order, open the city gate and let people in!"
No one noticed that on the top of a barren mountain more than ten miles away, Yao Chang, dressed as a Huns, was riding on a thin horse. An evil smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he murmured: "Mao
She is a kind-hearted woman, I like her. Send an order, after nightfall, at midnight, with the cooperation of the internal forces, we will attack the city. Anyone who dares to harm the Mao family, the Yi tribe! I will live."
Standing on one side was a yellow-browed veteran, about fifty years old. It was Dou Chong, the general of the former Qin Dynasty. This man had made many suggestions in front of Fu Jian to kill Yao Chang early, but was not adopted. After Fu Jian's defeat, the leader
Dou Chong, who had been fighting with Murong Chong of Xiyan for many years, had no choice but to surrender to Yao Chang. Yao Chang did not care about his old grudges and entrusted him with important tasks. This time he attacked Dajie Fort and took this veteran general with him.
Dou Chong curled up his lips: "Your Majesty, why don't you go straight to the Great Boundary Fort in one go? It's still about half a day before nightfall. You could have taken advantage of chasing these people and attacked the fort in one fell swoop. But now,
Although some internal agents can be sneaked in, it will be difficult to defeat the city in one fell swoop."
Yao Chang smiled slightly: "Although the Great Boundary Fort is not big, it is very strong. This is where Fu Deng's grain is stored and where his lifeblood lies. Five hundred thousand stones of military grain can support his 100,000-strong army in combat for more than half a year. Only then did he let
He dared to attack with all his troops this time because he wanted to complete his victory in one battle. His queen, Mao Shi, was personally on the defensive. If we had just chased and killed the people all the way, Mao Shi would definitely close the city gates and defend to the death. Although I don’t know the specific details of the city.
However, the day before yesterday, Yao Yi's 20,000-horse force failed to capture the city after half a day's attack. Therefore, my 30,000 cavalry could not defeat the city in one day. Fu Deng's army came back with reinforcements. The fastest cavalry could arrive in one day, and the infantry could not reach it in one day.
It will take more than two days, so in the end, our army is probably going to return without success."
Dou Chong nodded: "Then you want the defenders to slack off? It's unlikely. After all, more than ten thousand cavalry have appeared in the north, and no one else can relax."
Yao Chang sneered and said: "I crossed Longshan and attacked the people in the Longshan area with cavalry, but did not pursue them. This would make Mao think that we were the Xiongnu tribe in Hetao. We would flee and plunder after our defeat. Mao would not
There is no defense, but the people will not be turned away from the city, because she fled like this back then, and women are soft-hearted after all, which will lead to the current results."
When Dou Chong looked at the Great Boundary Fort in the distance, he saw thousands of horsemen arrayed outside the city. While appeasing the people who were coming in like a tide, he allowed the people to pass by the side of the formation. Behind them,
The city gate was opened wide, the suspension bridge was lowered, and the people who had escaped with their lives rushed into the city after crossing the military formation. However, after all, there were tens of thousands of people, and they were not soldiers, so the speed was not very fast. The two of them talked for about half an hour,
Only a few thousand people entered.
Dou Chong nodded: "It seems like we won't be able to finish walking even after three or four shifts at night. There are some of our spies among the people, and they can't detect them for a while. As long as it's night, the city should be set on fire, and the city should be set on fire."
Our cavalry makes a sudden attack on the Great Boundary Fortress and will be able to defeat it in one fell swoop."
Yao Chang smiled slightly: "This is the reason why I didn't bring any infantry this time, but all the cavalry. Speed is the first priority. Let the brothers seize the time to eat. During the third watch, as long as you see the fire in Dajie City,
From now on, within a quarter of an hour, all troops must fight to the gate of Dajie City. The first warrior who rushes into the city gate will be rewarded with tens of thousands of gold and be given a waiting title. The last team to reach the battlefield will be killed. After the city is broken, all the troops will be killed.
The spoils and prisoners will be distributed by me personally, and anyone who dares to delay due to plundering will be killed!"
Dajiebao, third update.
Mao Qingqiu had a worried look on his face, looking at the flow of people outside the city. Countless fires were lit outside the city. In addition to the torches of the two thousand troops arrayed in front, there were also the common people who had difficulty entering the city for a while.
, while sitting on the ground in the field outside the city, the fires produced seemed to have nearly ten thousand points.
Qiu'er smiled and said: "Miss, most of the refugees have been resettled in the city. This day has been very busy for everyone. God bless, no thieves will come to attack after all."
Mao Qingqiu shook his head: "It's strange. Of the three groups of sentry cavalry sent to the north, nearly twenty people, none of them came back. What's going on?"
Qiu'er curled up her lips and said, "Perhaps I lost my way after dark. Longshan is already desolate and remote, and the Huns cavalry are looting there. It's normal for news not to come through for a while."
While he was speaking, there was a sound of nails colliding with each other, and Xie Qing's loud voice reached Mao Qingqiu's ears earlier than his own: "Empress, we urgently summon the general, what's the matter?"
Mao Qingqiu's expression changed, and she turned to look at the approaching Xie Qing: "General Xie, I have never summoned you. Who sent the message?"
Tao Qing opened his mouth wide: "Ah, that's the messenger who came to report the news during the day, the one with the stinking smell all over his body, oh no! He must be an enemy spy who came to transfer me away!"
Before he finished speaking, he only heard a rush of gongs and drums rang out in the city, and seven or eight fires shot into the sky, accompanied by violent explosions, and Qiang, Di, Han, and Xianbei languages rang out.
, but it all means the same thing: "The Qiang army has entered the city, everyone, run for your lives!"
Mao Qingqiu stamped her feet anxiously: "No, the thieves are causing trouble. General Xi, please return to your command position quickly. No matter what, you must block the enemy's attack!"
Without saying a word, Qing Qing jumped directly from the top of the city. His voice came from the suspension bridge under the city: "Get out of the way, everyone, get out of my way. Close the city gates and no one is allowed to enter the city again!"
But it was already too late. The people who had just been queuing up to enter the city in an orderly manner had already fallen into chaos at the city gate. There were cries and curses. Countless people were roaring and shouting: "Let us enter the city.
Let us enter the city!"
A strong north wind came, bringing with it a scorching wave of fire. Thousands of hundreds of bows and arrows rose into the sky, carrying flames, and flew towards the Great Boundary Fort. After this wave of huge firebirds,
It was the sound of horse hooves that shook the earth, coming from a distance of less than three miles away. Yao Chang's hoarse and evil voice became the most terrifying roar that penetrated into Empress Mao's ears: "Enter the Great Boundary Fort.
Capture Queen Mao alive!"
Empress Mao's eyes were full of tears. By the firelight, she saw the figure of Xie Qing, together with more than ten personal guards, being hit by a large wave of rockets. She was immediately plunged into a trap with more than a hundred people around her.
In the sea of fire, enemy cavalry from afar came like a tide. Under the moonlight, Yao Chang, who was dressed in gorgeous armor, was clearly visible. She bit her lip, her eyes filled with anger, she picked up her bow and arrow, and shouted
Said: "Yao Laoxie, I will fight with you!"
