This largest siege battle in four days is gradually coming to an end.
The opponent's commander, who suffered a tragic defeat with nearly 30,000 people dead and not even a single soldier climbing up the city wall, regained his senses and ordered the troops to retreat.
The reason why the other party made this decision mainly depends on one point:
Insufficient information
Since this fortress had already been emptied of the people in the city when it fell into the hands of the Beizhen tribe, spies and spies could not get in. Then there were the spies from the border towns and even the spies from the Beizhen ambush in the capital.
I don’t know where the troops came from or how many there were…
After all, not to mention their spies, there are no more than thirty people in the entire Liang Kingdom who know the details.
They are Wang Linfeng, Emperor Xuansi, and Zeng Ke, and the remaining more than twenty people are the more than twenty secret guards responsible for protecting her safety that Yan Bing had long forgotten.
In fact, when Da Yanbing led the two thousand people and went out of the city to the suburbs of the capital in disguise, these spies had already reported this information to Zeng Ke, which was equivalent to reporting it to Emperor Xuansi.
Fortunately, Yan Bing did not stay near the outskirts of Beijing, but went straight north, so there was no big misunderstanding.
The secret guards also followed Yan Bing's whereabouts all the way before they left the border, and reported Yan Bing's whereabouts all the way back to Beijing.
Emperor Xuan Si also secretly began to cooperate with Yan Bing before she came out of seclusion, and carried out a series of strategic arrangements, which Yan Bing did not know about.
And on the basis of the cooperation between Yan Bing and Emperor Xuan Si, the two old yinkers also played tricks on each other. They only waited for each other to feel what kind of surprise they were before they would give in.
But this situation directly caused the Beizhen regime to be unable to collect any useful intelligence in the entire Liang Kingdom because there was no source of information...
If Nurha outside the city knew that there were only less than 2,000 people in this fortress where no one could be seen, but crossbows were flying everywhere, even if he were to be killed, he would not withdraw his troops without paying the price.
His decision was that even if he piled up heads, he would have to pile them in and then cut the auxiliary prince into pieces with his own hands to relieve his anger.
After all, the entire Beizhen regime only had these more than 100,000 armored soldiers. In just four days, nearly a quarter of them died under this city. This has completely broken Nurha's psychological defense.
, and changed the combat deployment.
Nurha could not do it without attacking, because even if there were enough people, his food and grass would not last long.
The same goes for digging tunnels. If you dig in front of you, the opponent will definitely be on guard. But if you dig through the camp, all the Beizhen soldiers will starve to death when you dig them.
I don't dare to attack other city gates, because that will mean that thousands more people will die, and all the traps will be stepped on, and then thousands more people will die, and then the holes they stepped on will be filled in. This is not
Are you so crazy!??
Therefore, there are only two ways in front of Nurha at this moment, either to return to the city to rest and then attack Panjin City, or to wait until night and attack again at night.
No matter which one it is, Nurha can only make a choice as soon as possible because he can no longer afford it.
I guess Nurha's mood in the camp at this moment is that it is tasteless and tasteless, and it would be a pity to abandon it.
Thinking of this, Yan Bing started to chuckle again.
In this battle, the troops in Liaokou City also suffered heavy losses.
Almost everyone in the city is more or less affected.
There were also 227 soldiers who died directly due to arrows in their fatal parts.
Those who were injured and able to fight again were 466.
Forty-two were too injured to fight anymore.
Of the soldiers Yan Bing brought out from Tongshun City, only about 1,600 were still breathing, and the battle damage had reached one-fifth.
But the morale is still high. After all, they have won every battle and made the other side pay dozens of times the price of their own side.
Although there are advantages in weapons and equipment here, Yan Bing's strategy also plays a decisive role.
"The entire army rests! These Beizhen people should not attack the city again for a while!" Yan Bing shouted to the soldiers who were still cheering and celebrating.
"All the soldiers guarding the gate, go up to the city wall, collect our fallen soldiers, and bury them in the city...!"
As this second command was shouted out, the crowd that was still cheering gradually became quiet again...
Although Yan Bing's order was given to the gate guards who had not participated in the battle, many soldiers who still had physical strength also consciously joined the team of collecting the corpses, and some people in the army gradually began to cry silently.
After all, although these dead soldiers came from all over the world, so many years of getting along and experiencing life and death together have turned them into brothers whose blood is thicker than water.
Nowadays, Yin and Yang are separated, so why don't people shed tears...
"Marquis of Fu Guo!! Look! There are people coming out of the other camp again!!!" As a soldier shouted, all the soldiers immediately rushed to the wall again and looked into the distance.
Li Bing also looked towards the enemy camp.
I saw hundreds of carts appearing in front of the opponent's camp, pushing towards them in a mighty manner.
What kind of trick is this!?
The battle has ended like this, why don’t you give up!?
"The whole army has finished resting!! The city walls are on alert!!!" Yan Bing raised his arms and shouted, and all the soldiers responded, standing up and holding crossbows, waiting for the incoming army.
After watching for a long time, the other party did not see any other movement except these hundreds of carts and nearly a thousand soldiers.
The carts that came out of the formation seemed to be pushed slowly and unhurriedly, and they did not look like they were about to attack.
As the cart got closer and closer, some sharp-eyed soldiers began to shout: "White flag!! We are here to collect the corpses!!"
Yan Bing was immediately enlightened, but he did not relax and directly issued an order: "Continue to be on guard! Just wait and see what happens!!"
Sure enough, these carts stopped when they got close. Hundreds of Beizhen soldiers did not bring any weapons and had no intention of attacking. They just silently carried the corpses of Beizhen soldiers one by one.
Truck.
However, the leader who followed this group of people kept walking and approached the city wall alone. He did not look like a soldier in his clothing.
Li Bing recognized the red silk flower feathers on the man's head and the twisted beads on his neck at a glance, and knew that this person should be a Beizhen Baile.
Because before Huang Taiji implemented the reform of official uniforms, only Baylor was qualified to wear official robes.
While thinking about it, this man had already walked slowly to the city, unfolded a piece of paper in his hand, and read loudly: "I only tell the generals in the city! I, Nurha Khan, the founder of Beizhen, have a kind heart and pity for the common people.
, thinking that all of you are talented in fighting and are outstanding among people, so we opened one side of the net and specially allowed the chief general in the city to surrender! After Kaicheng surrenders, he will be promoted to the third rank! The rest of the generals! All will be rewarded!"
After the man finished reciting, he didn't rush to leave. He put the paper roll back into his sleeves and put his hands behind his back, as if they had won the battle today! Yan Bing was so angry that he was so happy!
Yan Bing stood at the top of the city and shouted towards Beizhenbeile at the foot of the city: "Please help me, this official, to tell Nurhahan! His kindness has been received by me!! But this promotion to the third rank!
!I really don’t dare to be an adult!!”
Beizhen Baylor below, when he heard it, why was there a woman's voice in the city!? He quickly looked up and saw an extremely handsome beauty shouting to him on the city wall.
This Belle immediately became beaming, and her tone of voice became much softer, and she asked loudly: "Why is this??"
Yan Bing immediately retracted his body and pretended to communicate with the non-existent "my master". After a while, he leaned out and continued to shout: "My master said! He is now a Marquis! He has been promoted to another rank.
, that is the lord! If you are promoted to a higher rank, you will be a prince. If you are born three times in a row, then you have no choice but to make your emperor the emperor!! Abdicate and give way to someone worthy!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a roar of laughter erupted from the city wall.
Beizhen Baylor below was stunned for a moment, then slowly recovered, her face turned purple with anger! She snorted, turned around and left.
The soldiers and school officers in the city were still laughing at this moment. Even the eldest brother rushed over with a smile, slapped Yan Bing on the back and said: "You ghost girl!! What a shame!!!"
"
Yan Bing scratched the back of his head and laughed together, but he secretly laughed in his heart: I'm afraid you haven't fully understood my own losses yet!! Invincible Hero of the East!! Hahahaha!
Just like that, Beizhen Lord Beile left the scene sadly amid the ridicule of a group of soldiers.
"Send the order to each battalion! Leave one soldier from each battalion to patrol, and the others will go down to the city and take a rest!!" Yan Bing waited until Belle was far enough away before he said loudly.
All the sergeants took the order and slowly retreated down the city wall. Many of them were still laughing at what had just happened.
In terms of Bing, Senior Brother, and Yue Ling, the three of them did not go to the city because they are all martial arts practitioners, and their physical strength and energy are much more abundant than ordinary people. Coupled with the profound martial arts of the three of them, there are three of them.
Guarding the city wall can withstand hundreds of patrolling soldiers.
"Let them sleep peacefully for a night. There may not be many tragic battles waiting for them tomorrow."
After Yan Bing, Feng Chen, and Lingyue discussed it, they decided that the three of them would be responsible for patrolling the city wall tonight. Even Wu Qidao was persuaded by Yan Bing to knock down the city wall.
At night, the bright moon is in the sky.
Yan Bing stood on the gate tower of the North City, while Feng Chen and Lingyue occupied a corner of the city wall, looking around.
But what happened next was completely beyond Yan Bing's expectation.
I thought that after yesterday's humiliation, Nurha would use all his strength to attack the city today to avenge his humiliation.
But judging from the movements he had been observing in the morning, the other party was clearly withdrawing its troops...
Yan Bing immediately sneered.
Nurha is worthy of being a hero of his generation.
As long as he calms down, he can still make correct strategic judgments.
Yes, although Liaokou City is indeed a solid nail that makes people reluctant to pull it out.
But after all, this nail is too hard!
You can't pull it out even if it's bleeding. If you don't leave, are you going to fight here to death?
Even if he captured this city after fighting to the death, it would be fine if there was a lot of food and grass in the city, but if not, would he let people from all over the country come here to chew on the walls?
War is sometimes like doing business.
You can't make a loss-making transaction.
But it cannot be completely ruled out that the other party is playing hard-to-get.
Therefore, Yan Bing did not relax. After the ten battalions of soldiers responsible for patrolling during the day changed their defenses, she, Feng Chen, and Yue Ling went down to the city and went back to their tents to rest.
It wasn't until the third day that Yan Bing was absolutely certain that there would be no more Beizhen soldiers within a ten-mile radius, then Yan Bing opened the city gate and released a scout horse with his face covered with a cloth to check for corpses five miles away.
When Tan Ma returned to the city and told her that the miles-long line of corpses had been trampled into flesh, Yan Bing smiled evilly and felt completely at ease.
If the next step goes as she expected, Nurha will definitely make a comeback in a short time after returning to the city to reorganize, but this time the target is no longer Liaokou City, but Panjin, an important town with supplies of food and grass.
