Chapter 570: Making a sound in the east and attacking in the west(1/2)
"I know this big defeat. This is the biggest reason why Wu Qianqiu was demoted from the general of the Longwu Army to the general of Yecheng. It is also a rare defeat in the north. This is also the biggest reason for the former Ruyang King Chahan Timur.
One of the military merits. But the records here are really vague. Who is the commander of the Tiance Army? What is his current position?! Could it be related to Wu Qianqiu?!"
Such files are too vague. It would be great if we could check the Ministry of War files now.
"Han Shanggong, you have to do me a favor!"
Yu Yanyi pulled Han Sumi to the side.
"Bachelor Yu, please tell me!"
When Yu Yanyi asked for help, Han Sumi would naturally not refuse, but would be very happy.
"The Jinyi Guards in Jinyang City are no longer trustworthy at this moment. I need your help to pass on the information and go to the Ministry of War in the capital to inquire about this file."
Han Su Mi nodded. As the leader of Li Jing Sect, although her main duty is to guard the palace, she still has this authority.
"Don't worry, Bachelor Yu, I'll do it right away!"
Yu Yanyi nodded, then turned around and walked out. It was not advisable to wait for news.
He will continue to search the files.
------------------
The Jin Yiwei arrived at Beijingmen with the arrows ordered by Yu Yanyi.
But at this time, Xiang Ming, the general guarding Beijingmen, was not at the north gate.
"Where is General Xiang?!" The leading Jin Yiwei felt that something was wrong.
"General Xiang took his people to Beidingmen to discuss matters with General Chen." Beijingmen's deputy general explained.
"But Yu Shuai has given strict orders to be careful tonight to guard against night attacks by Mohe troops. How could he leave his post without permission?!"
"This?! This is a military order that we have not received from the Grand Master!?"
Looking at the bewildered lieutenant, Jin Yiwei Baihu knew that something was wrong.
These few people are different from the people at Jinyang Jinyi Guardhouse. They are all close friends brought by Xuanwu from Fusi, Beizhen, and they know the critical situation in the city at this moment.
Just when a few people didn't know what to do, they saw someone approaching with hundreds of soldiers in the distance.
The deputy general and others immediately became alert. Could it be that this person came to open the city gate and lead the Mohe soldiers into the city?!
Just when everyone was on guard, they saw clearly the face of the person coming under the firelight.
"Vice General Zhao?!"
Everyone was stunned when they saw the person coming.
Unexpectedly, the visitor turned out to be Zhao Qian, the deputy general of Beidingmen guard Chen An.
"Vice General Zhao, you are not on duty at Beidingmen. Why did you come here at night?"
Zhao Qian suddenly came with his troops, making everyone suspicious.
But Zhao Qian opposite him also had a confused expression.
"I was ordered to come to support you!"
"ah?!"
After the two sides looked at each other, they fell into a brief silence.
"Our General Chen received a request for help from General Xiang, saying that someone wanted to attack Beijingmen, so I led five hundred elite soldiers to come to the rescue. After my general arranged the defense of Beidingmen, he would personally lead the three thousand
The source of elite soldiers. But this..."
Zhao Qian didn't say anything else, but everyone knew it.
According to Xiang Ming, Beijingmen, which was attacked by a surprise attack, was quiet and shameless at the moment, showing no signs of being attacked by a surprise attack.
"Is there no sneak attack here?!"
Zhao Qian asked awkwardly.
Everyone present felt that something was wrong.
There are 180,000 troops under Yu Yanyi's command. Excluding the troops deployed in the northern and southern counties, there are a total of 100,000 troops in Jinyang City.
One hundred thousand troops, which sounds like a lot, but they have to defend the eight gates and all the walls of Jinyang City. There are also 20,000 people who have been used by Yu Yanyi as a reserve team. In other words, the eight gates of Jinyang are now
The number of soldiers and horses is only 80,000.
Among them, Dongzhengmen and Dongzhaomen were attacked the most fiercely, with 15,000 and 20,000 people respectively.
Beijingmen and Beidingmen were not the key targets of the Mohe army, and there were not many troops stationed there.
Beijingmen has seven thousand, and Beidingmen has eight thousand.
According to Zhao Qian's statement now, there are nearly 4,000 troops coming to support Beidingmen. Wouldn't the defense of Beidingmen be weakened by nearly half?!
The generals immediately realized that the so-called attack on Beijingmen was just a cover to mobilize the troops from Beidingmen, leaving Beidingmen's defense power empty.
"..."
"Not good! Beidingmen is in danger! We need help!"
The deputy general in charge of Beijingmen also wanted to understand the situation. Just when everyone was shocked and suspicious, suddenly a shocking cry of death came from the direction of Beidingmen.
"I will leave 3,000 troops to protect the safety of Beijing Gate. Vice General Zhao, I will lend you the remaining 4,000 troops to ensure that Beiding Gate is not lost."
Although Beijingmen's deputy general knew that his own troops were weak, he still took the initiative and lent four thousand troops to Zhao Qian.
Now is not the time to fight alone. Once Beiding Gate is lost, everyone will have to finish.
Hundreds of Jin Yiwei guards also stood up immediately and said, "Everyone, please go and report to the Lord and Xuanwu Commander immediately!"
----------
Beidingmen.
Xiang Ming was a little irritable. He was invited here by Chen An, the guard of Beiding Gate, but after arriving, he did not see Chen An.
He has a close friendship with Chen An, and the two sides often refer to each other's defense recently. In his spare time, he will come to Beidingmen to learn Chen An's city defense strategies; the same goes for Chen An.
But this is the first time I have waited for such a long time.
At first, Xiang Ming could wait because the sergeant at Beidingmen prepared a table of delicious food for him and asked him to wait while Chen An was counting the ordnance.
Xiang Ming didn't care either. Who hasn't been busy with military affairs?!
But now that all the dishes on the table have been eaten, Chen An, the leader of the Beiding Sect, is still not seen, which makes Xiang Ming feel anxious.
"Where on earth did your general go?!"
The soldier on the side also looked embarrassed. Chen An told him to entertain Xiang Ming with food and wine first, and he would come later.
"General Xiang, I really don't know! My general just asked me to entertain you, and he will be back soon."
"you……"
Just after Xiang Ming wanted to scold the soldier, a loud noise interrupted his scolding.
"Catapult!? It's a sneak attack by the Mohe people!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xiang Ming immediately rushed from the residence under the city tower to the city wall.
Then, a heavy horn sound sounded, as if to prove Xiang Ming's guess.
"Rocket!"
The soldiers on duty on the city wall also immediately launched a counterattack, firing hundreds of rockets into the sky. Under the firelight of the rockets, one could vaguely see the densely packed Mohe soldiers below like a tide.
----------------------------
At this time, Beijingmen's defense seemed a little lax.
Originally, there were 7,000 troops stationed here, but Zhao Qian took away 4,000 troops, leaving 3,000 troops guarding Beijingmen, which seemed to be insufficient manpower.
At the beginning, the soldiers at Beijingmen were still a little nervous, and there were constant shouts of killing coming from the direction of Beidingmen.
The soldiers at Beijingmen were worried that Beidingmen would also be attacked.
But as time goes by, everyone’s worries gradually ease!
Judging from Mohe's posture, it was obvious that he wanted to gather his forces to attack Beidingmen. In this way, Beijingmen would be safer.
Just when everyone was relaxing, they noticed someone approaching in the darkness.
"who!"
"Don't be nervous, it's me!" A familiar voice came, causing the guard guard to immediately lower his guard.
It turned out that... just halfway through speaking, the soldiers guarding the gate were attacked by the people brought by this person.
All are fatal with one knife.
The torch that fell to the ground revealed this person's true face.
The guards under the city tower heard the noise under the city gate and asked.
"What happened!?"
