Chapter 492: Defending Fang Qing
The two generals Huo and Lei were extremely tired, but even so, they were still panicked and they didn't even feel or have time to take a nap.
The tempers of the two generals Huo and Lei were as irritable as thunder and fire. At this time, after hearing the people under his command, he couldn't help but feel so angry that his stomach hurt.
"General, they attacked more than ten times last night, and we were all closely guarding each other without losing a single loss!" The soldier spoke in a full voice, as if he was a little happy and satisfied.
General Fire tried his best to suppress the anger that was about to explode at this time and said coldly: "How many of them have you killed in total?"
"Report to the general, we have no statistics on this, but probably there are still one or two hundred people!"
"One or two hundred people?" General Huo snorted coldly, "Only one or two hundred people were killed in one night, is it worthy of your pride?"
"If you didn't kill one or two hundred of them, the number of casualties might be a total of one or two hundred!" The soldier smiled at General Fire very straightforwardly.
General Huo looked at his smile that was worthy of beating and could no longer contain the anger in his heart. He kicked him on the shoulder, kicking him for several times before stopping.
Seeing this, General Lei immediately persuaded him, and then shouted coldly: "Wordless people, don't retreat!"
"Yes, yes!" The man's nose, swollen face, and was covered in dust, immediately bowed.
General Huo looked at the man's back disappearing and couldn't help but snorted coldly, "That night, I had almost no gains. I even ran to me like I was shaking my power as if I was receiving my merits, and I was so angry!"
General Lei had actually inquired about the details of the war last night. At this time, he sighed and said, "Second brother, don't be too angry. These minions know what they think that everything will be fine if they keep Fang Qingcheng, but they don't know that Fang Qingcheng is now in danger!"
"Third brother, I'm not angry with him, but we suffered heavy losses last night!" The four generals of Fenghuo, Thunder and Lightning once worshiped them at their age, from eldest brother to fourth brother, they were called "Dragon, Fire, Thunder and Wind" in turn.
General Lei sighed and said, "Yes, the number of artillery in the city is very small, and the walls of Fang Qing are already cracked. If you are not careful, you may be defeated and defeated. In addition, the number of brothers under our command is really limited. After taking turns to fight day and night, the combat effectiveness has been depressed at this time!"
The Tatars were invincible and invincible, and wherever they went was a scene of surrender and worship. It was because the Tartars were all brave and good at fighting, especially the tribes in the Tartars were unified into a large whole, and led by Berlin Sihan. At this time, the combat effectiveness of the Tatars was unprecedentedly strong. The annexation of the surrounding foreign powers had once become a great empire.
Therefore, at this time, the combat effectiveness of the Tatars army turned from grand to sluggish, which was a very heavy loss and disadvantage for the Tatars army.
At this moment, someone came to report outside the door: "Report, there is a flying pigeon passing on a letter!"
"Flying pigeons send letters?" General Lei opened his eyes and said, "Come on now!" After taking the paper from Fei Ge, the guard retreated.
"Who came from it?" General Huo asked impatiently.
General Lei remained silent and quickly finished reading the content written on the paper, with a slightly gloomy look on his face.
General Huo saw General Lei’s face deep and seemed to have hidden feelings, so he snatched the note over. After reading it, he couldn’t help but snorted coldly and said, “Why?”
"Why should Khan let us retreat north?" General Huo seemed angry, "If we retreat north at this time, wouldn't Fang Qingcheng bow to someone? Humph, are we still afraid of these people in the Central Plains?"
General Lei pondered for a moment and said, "Second brother, according to my opinion, what the Khan said is not unreasonable!"
“How to say it?”
"When Khan was leading our troops to fight, the best strategy was to fight against us. Don't force the attack and defend!" General Lei sighed and said, "Didn't their Central Plains guards take this approach last night?"
General Huo thought for a moment and nodded, "What you said is reasonable, this trick is indeed effective, but even so, we have innate benefits, so we will defend here. If they really attack the city, we can retreat from the north and not be besieged. Anyway, we are condescending, and there will be no casualties!"
General Huo snorted coldly and said, "In short, if I ask me to retreat north now and hand over Fang Qingcheng, I will never be able to!"
"Second brother, the Khan's will has been passed on. Do you want it?" General Lei said with a stare.
"Hmph, what's going on?" General Huo snorted coldly and said fearlessly, "There is a saying in the Central Plains, as the saying goes, 'The general is outside, and the king will not be able to accept it!' Now that the Khan is far away in Huangfeng City, why should I listen to him?"
"But second brother, you are like this..." General Lei wanted to persuade him, but General Huo was obviously a little impatient, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, we can defend here for a moment. Even if the city is ruined in the end, we can at least remove some of their Central Plains troops!"
General Huo looked at General Lei's face still hesitating, and said loudly: "Don't worry, I will definitely not listen to this matter! If the Khan really blames it in the future, I will bear all the charges!"
General Lei knew that General Huo had a straightforward and irritable temper. No one could easily change what he decided. Seeing this, he would no longer persuade him.
"Three brother, how about the defense in the city now?" General Huo asked.
"Don't worry, second brother, there are soldiers and guards in all directions in the city, so there will be no problem for the time being!" General Lei smiled indifferently.
"Okay!" General Huo nodded, then sighed and said, "Since that's the case, then just give me instructions. I'm very sleepy now and I want to make up for my sleep!"
General Lei wanted to say something else, but General Huo had already left and had to say "Okay!"
Let’s talk about this at this time, after Emperor Mingzhen heard the Bingwei report the war last night, he talked with Yue Zhenggang in the house.
Emperor Mingzhen said in a voice: "Mr. Yue, what is the situation of the guards and even fortifications of Fang Qingcheng now?"
Yue Zhenggang sent his confidants to inquire around Fang Qingcheng last night. He had roughly understood the situation around him and said, "Emperor, although the Tatar army is not large, this time they gathered a large number of troops and gathered to guard Fang Qingcheng. It seems that they are confident and must be defending Fang Qingcheng!"
