Chapter 987: Two Lines of Defense
At this moment, whether it is the Black Armored Heavy Cavalry, the Red Army, the remnants of the Northern City Army or the Yangwei Army, the places where they retreat are all this two lines of defense.
This is the architectural feature of Rising Sun City. At that time, the city wall, three circles inside and three circles outside formed one line of defense after another.
The place where the Fire Army broke through was not called the outer layer, but the correct statement was called the first line of defense, and the place where Sun was responsible for was called the second line of defense. According to the principle of gradually increasing height, the wall of the second line of defense was taller and stronger than the first city wall.
If Sun Ze is still here, then with his command ability and his subordinates' obedience to him, it can be said that this second line of defense has a great opportunity to defend and stop the attacking side.
However, when there was a problem with the first line of defense, Sun Ze did not ask for help despite the command of the first line of defense, but took the initiative to lead an army of 500,000 to carry out the so-called rescue.
As a result, there were only a few left of 500,000 troops, and he himself was trapped outside the Rising Sun City. Now the 800,000 troops collapsed, and the people who fled here were about 300,000 to 400,000. Under such circumstances, a large number of people and horses came frantically towards this two lines of defense.
It turned out that the pursuers of the Fire Army were following behind. This time, the adult did not stop the team, but let the team chase him towards this side. There was a chaos between the first line of defense and the second line of defense.
Although Sun took away all the mobile troops when he attacked, there were still many defending troops here. In fact, the arrangement of the Beicheng defender here is like this, like the first line of defense, the Beicheng army can have a total of 500,000 troops, and the later-level subordinates are almost nearly 600,000 troops.
There is actually an army of 800,000 here, and there are 300,000 people left. On the city wall, you can naturally see your own defeated soldiers from afar. At this time, you don’t care about the differences in this system and immediately put these defeated soldiers into the city as soon as possible.
The black armored heavy cavalry was the first to enter the city. Then there was the chief general of the Red Army. The troops of the two families basically did not suffer any losses. The Beicheng Army that followed behind them suffered a little loss, but it was still insignificant. The one who lost the most was the powerful troops who came in the end.
These men rushed in quickly, but suffered heavy losses. Poor 800,000 troops. Now that they entered the city, there were not even 500,000. 500,000 defeated soldiers and 300,000 defenders. If the city defense force is present, if the main general Sun Ze is here, then it can still be resisted, but now there is no main general.
The generals who came in were not from Yang Wei's army, so the highest generals were not in harmony with each other, so the atmosphere was quite tense within these two lines of defense at this moment.
The city gate of the second line of defense here had just been closed. At this time, the Red Army general who first entered the city suddenly shouted, "Close the city gate, close the city gate."
Others didn't know why he called like this, but everyone could see it when they looked outside the city. It turned out that there were many soldiers from the Yangwei Army outside who had not yet escaped into the city, but the soldiers of the Fire Army followed closely behind them, which caused a phenomenon that they wanted to put the Yangwei Army in them. If they continued to open the city gate and wait for these defeated Yangwei Army soldiers to enter the city, then it was very likely that the city gate would never be closed again.
Because the pursuing fire army would rush into the city as soon as possible, the chief general of the Red Army shouted and closed the city gate. However, the gate official of the Yangwei Army glared at the chief general of the Red Army fiercely.
"Other brothers outside the city have not come in, how can they close the door?"
At this time, the main general of the Black Armored Heavy Cavalry jumped out and said, "If the city gate is not closed, wouldn't that be the only way to die?"
The two sides were in a stalemate. It was obvious that if the city gate was not closed, it would be very likely that it would never be closed again. However, if the city gate was closed, it would be possible that the remaining Yang Wei army would be locked outside. The Yang Wei army who had not entered the city had at least 300,000.
Did you throw all these powerful troops outside?
As the commander of Yang Wei's army, he felt that he could not do it. At the same time, he was particularly disgusted with these troops that escaped from the first line of defense. If they had not been unable to defend the first line of defense, they would not have sent people to fight their lives. In the end, these guys who should have been guarding the first line of defense successfully escaped here, and many brothers from the first line of defense stayed there forever.
Such a situation really made the city gate officer feel extremely uncomfortable. In the eyes of these Yangwei soldiers, the guys on the first line of defense deserve to die. They should live and die together with the first line of defense, rather than retreating to their second line of defense like deserters. The place you guard has been occupied by the enemy. Why do you still have the face to retreat to that rear?
Such a situation is a difficult thing for all the people who are in the powerful army. Should we just close the city gate and let our troops be killed by the enemy one by one outside?
So the city gate official looked at the Red Army with fierce eyes
The Lord General and the others, at this time, the Red Army General turned to look at Xiao Zhen, and he shouted to Xiao Zhen, "What do you mean? Don't pretend to be silent, are you willing to open the city gate?"
In fact, since childhood, he was really opposed to continuing to open the city gate. In this case, there might not be many soldiers from the Yangwei Army who could rescue him, but instead he would compensate the entire second line of defense. However, because the Red Army leader and the general were talking about this, he did not make any noise.
Now that the incident is escalating, Xiao Zhen was originally planning to remain silent. After the matter has a specific result, we will look at the situation and talk. However, who expected that the Red Lord General was so sinister that he suddenly attacked him quietly and pulled Xiao Zhen in, which made Xiao Zhen not able to express his opinion now.
Everyone looked at him. So Xiaozhen sighed secretly in her heart and said to the city gate official, "Close the city gate."
The city gate official looked at Xiao Zhen and said, "You, the lord of the north city, were beaten by the enemy like a dog of a broken family. You also asked my lord to help. Now my lord of the family has not come back, but you ran here first. You still have the face to say, I think you'd better take your men out of the city to resist! You are not welcome here."
No matter what the city gate official said, Xiao Zhen looked motionless.
In fact, there are 300,000 defenders here, and Xiao Zhen’s North City Army, plus the Red Army, and the Black Armored Heavy Cavalry, there are about 300,000, so in fact, Xiao Zhen and others do not have any disadvantages.
Xiao Zhen in his eyes was so arrogant. When he saw Xiao Zhen's appearance, he was determined to close the city gate, so he sneered, "Okay, very good, but I don't close the city gate. What can you do to me?"
This city gate official is so arrogant, so he naturally has the capital for his arrogance. But the next step will be that the city gate official knows that he is wrong and is very wrong.
Xiao Zhen appeared in front of him in a flash, and ordered the door to close in front of him, and the city wall and the gate was quickly closed.
And this city gate official was killed by Xiaozhen long ago when Xiaozhen came to him. This is a factor of strength.
