Nine hundred and forty-seven: Attack instead of defense
Li Jing, who had just rejected the peace talks between Tatar Wala and Rakshasa in Shenjing City, of course had to prepare for defense. He sent the envoy here purely to provoke Li Jing, so Li Jing didn't take it to heart at all and arrived that night.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army convened the senior generals of the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies and the chief ministers of the cabinet.
"The enemy army is coming fiercely and in large numbers. It is more than four times that of our army. Although our army still has more than 200,000 elite soldiers, after being dispersed to nine gates, there are not many left. I am afraid that the strength of the troops will be insufficient. Therefore,,,"
Ren Jingli cupped his hands to Li Jing and said: "Your Highness, I think it would be better to shrink our troops and defend the city strictly to resist."
Li Jing and others gathered around the sand table of Shenjing City, and Ren Jingli continued: "Shenjing City is high and deep, and the city walls are all made of bricks and stones. Moreover, they have been repaired a few days ago, so at this time, based on Shenjing, we withdraw troops into the city.
Seal the nine gates, rely on the city to defend, and wait for reinforcements from King Qin, who may be able to fight the enemy."
Li Jing was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said to everyone: "Is this the opinion of the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army?"
The officers and soldiers of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion looked at each other, and then Wu Kui, Duke of Jing State, stepped forward and cupped his hands with Li Jing and said: "Your Majesty, we all think that this may be the best strategy for dealing with the enemy."
Li Jing didn't speak, but he saw Wu Jiang who was about to speak but hesitated: "Zihu seems to have something to say."
Everyone was stunned, and then they all looked at Wu Jiang, who was at the outermost edge of the crowd. Wu Kui's face darkened, and Wu Jiang gritted his teeth and said: "Commander Yu, uh, Your Majesty, I think what you all said is right, but,
But if we show weakness to the enemy as soon as we come up, wouldn’t it be a good idea? Of course, I can’t think of any good response strategy.”
Wu Kui snorted coldly, but Li Jing nodded slowly and said: "Zi Hu's words are reasonable. The more menacing the Oara coalition forces are, the more we show weakness to the enemy, the more we will encourage their arrogance!"
Everyone was a little puzzled when they heard this. Yang Jisheng raised his hands and said, "So what are you going to do, Your Majesty?"
Li Jing narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at the sand table in front of her and said softly: "A last-ditch fight will break the cauldron!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Li Jing said in a deep voice: "We adopted the strategy of a decisive battle behind the city. We lined up an army of 220,000 troops outside the nine gates of the capital, and set up a heavy ambush at Desheng Gate.
Use the city as a camp, use battle as a defense, dispatch reinforcements separately, and attack from both inside and outside!"
It was easy for Jia Jing to say this, but everyone present was shocked when he heard this! Especially the veterans like Ren Jingli and Wu Kui!
Because the kind of fighting method Li Jing mentioned was simply unheard of for them! Putting up a strong city wall instead of defending it, but instead arranging all the soldiers outside the city wall and relying on soldiers to guard the city wall?
This style of play, let alone theirs, is a very bold and amazing operation even in future generations!
Ren Jingli said solemnly: "My lord, this is a dangerous move! The Wala people are good at fighting in the plains, but not good at attacking cities. If we take the initiative to fight with them in the plains, I am afraid that we will use the enemy's strengths to attack our weaknesses!
"
Li Jing said in a deep voice: "Are the Wala people really not good at attacking cities? They have been fighting with us for so long, are they not familiar with our tactics of defending the city? This time, I am going to cripple them in the field! Fight!
Clothes!"
When Yang Jisheng heard this, he was also a little suspicious and said, "Is the prince a little out of his mind?"
Li Jing shook his head and said: "The lonely king is very calm now. If you rely on the city, you will only be exhausted and busy with the defense of each city. This is the drawback of a huge city like Shenjing, and it is also our fatal hole!"
"But how can we turn this shortcoming into our advantage? In the complex streets outside the city, in the plains and on the hillsides, we will deal with the Oara people. At the same time, part of the army on the city wall will provide long-range attack support. Under the city
The soldiers are supplemented by close-range hand-to-hand combat. Only in this way can they complement each other and be able to hold on until the reinforcements arrive. Otherwise, it is just a bastard's shell waiting for someone else's hammer to knock it up!"
Everyone fell silent after hearing this, but Li Jing said categorically: "Preach to all the people in the prefectures, counties, Shanxi and Zhili around the capital to take up arms and kill small groups of troops as soon as they are found.
They! Ready to cut off the Ora army's retreat at any time!"
"We will fight to the death with the Wala Army at the foot of Shenjing City!"
When Li Jing said this, everyone felt that it seemed to be somewhat reasonable, so they all agreed.
Li Jing then arranged the formation of troops. The Duke of Han was stationed at Fucheng Gate, the Duke of Jing was stationed at Chaoyang Gate, and the Marquis of Pingyang Shangguanjing was stationed at Yongding Gate. They were divided into southeast, northwest and northwest.
Then there are several smaller gates. Jinxiang Hou Hanfeng is stationed at Dongzhimen, Xuanning Hou Linen is stationed at Xizhimen, Yue Zhong is stationed at Andingmen, Xue Qiu is stationed at Guangqumen, and Lin Feng and Zhang Yuan are stationed at Guangningmen together!
Li Jing said in a deep voice: "As for Desheng Gate, Prince Gu will personally come to guard it!"
The generals were shocked when they heard this. You must know that the most important of the nine gates is Deshengmen, so it is obvious that Deshengmen must have been attacked the most seriously!
So Ren Jingli held his hands in a deep voice and said: "Prince Ning, think twice, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield. If you have any shortcomings,,,"
Li Jing smiled and waved his hands and said: "I have decided to be alone. There is no need to persuade me. I have fought many battles in all these years of ups and downs. Why is it that now that I have become Prince Ning, I am richer?"
Since Li Jing said this, everyone had nothing to say, so they rushed to their respective defense areas overnight and began to mobilize troops and horses to strengthen the defense, waiting for the Wala Army's attack tomorrow.,,
When the sky was getting dark, smoke and dust were rising from the horizon in the distance. Lin Feng and Zhang Yu'an looked at the smoke and dust in the distance and immediately felt their hearts lift. They both said in their hearts: "Here we come!"
The Oara Army actually sent a vanguard in the first battle to test the Guangning Gate where Lin Feng and Zhang Yuan were stationed!
When the two saw the Vara cavalry charging towards them, they immediately ordered people to open the city gate, and the entire army immediately went to their fighting posts!

Lin Feng and Zhang Yuan, the leading generals of the Wala Cavalry, saw them coming and opened the city gate directly. They couldn't help but be a little confused and surprised, but they had to shoot because they had an arrow on the string.
, so he roared and rushed towards Lin Fengjun!
"Close the city gate! Rush out! There are horsebacks! Stab them with the horseshoe!"
After the cavalry rushed forward, Guangning Gate was indeed closed. Zhang Yu'an commanded the soldiers on the city wall to shoot arrows at the rear of the Wala cavalry, but the forward of the Wala cavalry was already facing Lin Feng's infantry!
Relying on the tightly and complicatedly arranged Juma, Lin Feng actually managed to resist the Wala cavalry for a while, causing them to become somewhat disorganized!
The greatest power of the cavalry is to charge into the formation, and now that the horse resistance has completely limited the power of the cavalry to charge into the formation, then the cavalry who are at a loss will be temporarily restricted, and their advantage will be gone!
Sure enough, Lin Feng's soldiers were quite willing to fight because they relied on the city. Moreover, coupled with Li Jing's pre-war mobilization, morale was high at this time, and for a while, the Wala cavalry actually
They were rubbing against the ground!
When the generals leading the Wara army saw this, they were horrified, and hurriedly shouted to retreat. In this way, the forwards left in less than half an hour, leaving hundreds of corpses behind, and returned in a hurry.
Great camp!
At the same time, other gates were also attacked to varying degrees. Xizhimen and Dongzhimen were guarded by veteran generals after all. Under the command of Duke Guoguo and Duke Jing, they easily dealt with it.
Not to mention Desheng Gate. Balisiana regretted it the moment he saw Desheng Gate. Sure enough, just as he approached, he was beaten to a bloody head by the "Forest Army" led by Li Jing himself.
!
When Balisyana returned to the camp that night, he angrily yelled at Baoyin: "How dare you, a damn woman, play tricks on me!"
Hearing this, Baoyin sneered and pretended to be confused, looking at Balisiana and said: "Who is playing tricks on you? Sir Duke, the Han people have a saying, you can eat indiscriminately but you can't talk indiscriminately! I'm forcing you.
Did you go to attack Deshengmen? Am I saying that we are familiar with Dayan, so we in Wala are preparing to attack Deshengmen? Are you insisting on taking it away? I originally thought it was your so-called gentlemanly demeanor.
It turns out you didn’t think so! Now you’re blaming me for hurting you?”
Balisyana's face turned green and red after being snatched by Baoyin, and then he actually laughed again and said to Baoyin: "I'm sorry Khan, I just lost my composure. Today's failure may be a bit of a blow to me.
It’s too big, please forgive me.”
Baoyin glanced at Balisyana coldly and said nothing. Balisyana sighed and said: "It seems that the Yan Kingdom is not so easy to conquer..."
Sanniangzi sneered when she heard this: "What makes you barbarians think that Dayan is weak and can be bullied? If Dayan is really a sheep who only talks about benevolence, justice and morality, would we have wandered in the grassland for so long?"
Balisiana seemed to know that he was not popular, so he smiled and said: "Ladies, there is no need for you to treat me like this. We are allies, aren't we? We have a common goal, don't we?"
Now Baoyin and Sanniangzi were expressionless and silent, while Xin Ai, who was beside Sanniangzi, said in a deep voice: "You are right, then should we all show some sincerity tomorrow?
Don't you want to test each other out like today?"
Balisyana applauded without changing his smile: "I agree. In order to show our sincerity, how about we come all the way to give some gifts to your local friends? Tomorrow we will attack Xizhimen, you just need to follow.
Okay, how about it?"
Xin Ai glanced at Sanniangzi and then at Baoyin. Baoyin straightened her waist slightly: "If this is really the case, then naturally we will not betray our friends. It depends on your sincerity tomorrow."
Balisiana spread her hands and said with a smile: "I promise to satisfy you, my lady."
Looking at Balisiana's aquiline nose, rough and hairy skin, and slightly bald head, Baoyin almost vomited!
However, Baoyin still nodded coldly: "You'd better be..."
Before he finished speaking, there were bursts of screams outside!
Everyone's expressions suddenly changed. As expected, Baler opened the military tent with a gloomy expression. After glancing at everyone, he slowly walked to Baoyin, stroked his chest and saluted: "The Great Khan, it's Yan.
People came to rob the camp, and the weapons and supplies of several battalions were burned by them. It’s not a big problem, we’ve ordered people to drive them away.”
Sure enough, after Baler finished speaking, the Rakshasa people also hurriedly opened the military tent, walked to Balisyana's side, leaned over and said something in his ear.
Balisyana was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly got up and hurried towards the camp where the Rakshasa garrison was stationed.
When Baoyin saw this, he was quite gloating and said: "It seems that our Rakshasa friends have suffered a lot,,,"
Baler also smiled gloomily. Sanniang Zi and Xin Ai seemed to have no interest in watching the excitement of the Rakshasa people with her, so they stood up and left.
Before leaving, Sanniangzi said to Baoyin: "Be careful, I always feel that something is wrong."
Hearing this, Baoyin looked at Sanniangzi with a bright smile and said, "You are so worried. How can there be anything wrong? Isn't this all good?"
Sanniangzi glanced at Baoyin suspiciously and Baoyin said hurriedly: "I know, I will be more vigilant. I also know that Rakshasa people will not be so honest."
Sanniangzi took a deep look at Baoyin, then nodded and left without saying anything.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she went out and walked a few steps, Sanniangzi saw no one around and said to Xin Ai: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Tell your people, don't work too hard tomorrow. If we find an opportunity, we can go back to the grassland."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When Xin Ai heard this, she immediately became dissatisfied and said to Sanniangzi: "Our army has been fighting since we started, but we have to leave as soon as we make contact? What is this like?
What’s the point? Is it just a waste of time to send troops this time and leave without getting anything?”
After hearing this, Sanniangzi said to Xin Ai in a deep voice: "Why do you love yourself so much? You have to know that when we came out this time, we were carrying the old Khan King on his back. If you lose your troops and generals, you will not be able to survive in front of the Old Khan King!"
I won’t care about you. If something goes wrong, I will take my people and leave!”
After saying that, Sanniang turned around and was about to leave, Xin Ai suddenly became anxious. You must know that the more than 200,000 people sent by the Tatars this time were already the entire Tatar possessions, and more than 100,000 of them were still Sanniang.
Recruiting soldiers are here!
If these people are lost, how can Xin Ai, who is left with more than 100,000 people, seize food from the mouth of the tiger's mouth under the struggle of the Wala and Rakshasa coalition forces? The things that can be grabbed will definitely be the least!
So when he saw Sanniangzi was about to leave, Xin Ai immediately grabbed Sanniangzi. Sanniangzi looked at Xin Ai with red eyes in surprise.
Xin Ai screamed at Sanniang Zi: "Do you think I don't know why you came here? Now that you have finished your work, you turn around and leave! I won't allow it! I am the king of Tatar! The Tatar army
You must listen to me!"
After being startled, Sanniangzi's face darkened. While trying to free her arm from Xin Ai's hand, she said coldly to Xin Ai: "Since you think they should listen to you, then go ahead and give the order."
Let them try it!”
Xin Ai's breathing became more and more rapid, and she was obviously even more angry. Those troops were directly loyal to Sanniangzi, and were even trained by Sanniangzi herself. How could they obey his command!
So Xin Ai was furious and yelled: "You are mine too! You must listen to me!"
Sanniang Zi was startled when she heard this, and looked at Xin Ai with wide eyes in disbelief. Xin Ai reached out and pinched Sanniang Zi's slender swan neck and shouted in a low voice: "You think I don't know what you are here for? Come here to find that."
You're a pretty boy, right? Do you think I don't know where you disappeared to in those days? Are you going to have a tryst with that pretty boy? You bitch!"
The third lady obviously didn't expect that Xin Ai would dare to do this to her. She grabbed Xin Ai's hand with both hands and struggled desperately while cursing: "It's none of your business!"
Xin Ai became even more angry when she heard this: "It's none of my business? You said it's none of my business! You are mine!"
Sanniangzi felt that it was getting more and more difficult to breathe and was speechless. Xin Ai roared in a low voice: "You are mine! Tatar is mine! Everything is mine! The Khan is dead.
From now on, you will be my wife! You had a tryst with that Han pretty boy behind my back, and it’s none of my business what you say!”
Sanniangzi's face became paler and paler, but she reached into her arms with one hand, suddenly pulled out the small dagger in her arms, and then pressed it against Xin Ai's neck!
Xin Ai immediately calmed down. Although his face was still very gloomy, the stinging pain on his neck still forced him to calm down and let go of Sanniangzi!
The third wife covered her neck and coughed for a while, then pointed a dagger at Xin Ai who raised her hands in the air: "Get out of here, get out of here!"
Xin Ai took a few steps back cautiously with a gloomy face, and then saw that the third lady had no intention of killing her, so she left with a sullen face.
The third lady stood there for a long time, silently squatting on the ground and crying for a while, wiping her tears and biting her red lips: "Damn,,, I can't spare you if I find you!"
She took back the dagger tremblingly, and then staggered back to her tent. At this time, her generals came to visit her because of the camp robbery. Seeing the third lady like this, their faces became gloomy.
!
A general stepped forward and said with concern: "Ketun, you..."
Sanniangzi managed to calm down and shook her head slowly after hearing this: "I'm fine."
Sanniangzi did not explain how the marks on her neck came from, she just sat back silently, and then said to the soldiers: "I give you a task,,,"
When all the soldiers heard this, they looked at each other. Sanniangzi looked at the ground with deep eyes and said in a deep voice: "Send someone to tell King Ning of Yan State that we only need one person. If we get him, we can withdraw our troops tonight. If we don't get anything,
, just tell him to prepare to live with us!"
The soldiers all looked stern when they heard this. You must know that what the people on the grassland are best at is fighting to support fighting!
That night, there were envoys from the Tatar tribe heading towards the Shenjing City,,,
