There are strong troops inside and reinforcements outside. Although their numbers are still an advantage, he is not sure that they can capture Jinghua in a very short time. As King Qin's army continues to increase, they are likely to be dragged here.
.
At that time, what awaits him will be eternal disaster!
"Your Majesty, what should we do?" the general asked.
"Go and see the situation first before making a decision. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I really don't want to give up!"
Xie Chao gritted his teeth and his eyes flickered: "Is there a possibility? Jinghua is playing an empty city strategy!"
"What?"
A group of lieutenants looked at each other in confusion.
Empty city plan?
yes!
During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang used the empty city strategy to repel the enemy. He took advantage of Sima Yi's suspicious character to scare Sima Yi away...
What about Jinghua now?
Could it be that the defenders were deliberately kept in high spirits and were actually acting as a strong force on the outside?
"My lord, this is possible!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"In this case..."
A group of lieutenants are excited, and they are about to make great achievements!
If they succeed this time, they will be the founding heroes!
Today's Long Yan needs a test of iron and blood!
"Wait and see..."
However, Xie Chao hesitated at this moment.
Although King Zhao has been waiting for this day for too long, he will never give up easily. However, he still plans to be cautious.
An army of 200,000 people marched toward the foot of Jinghua City. On top of the city, Yu Qian couldn't help but frown as he looked at the black heads.
Looking at the 10,000 "King Qin's Army" under the city, and then looking at the officers and soldiers disguised as civilians around them... I wonder if these can frighten the Youzhou Army below.
Yu Qian was looking at the Youzhou Army, and Xie Chao was also looking at Jinghua's troops.
Although Xie Chao was not a general, he had done enough homework for this rally and had a certain understanding of military formations.
Although the troops under the city were dressed in common people's clothes and there were a few military uniforms among them, they lined up in an orderly manner, with bright eyes and even a chilling air. This was not like ordinary weapons.
Also, although the soldiers on the city wall are standing neatly, what does it mean when the city gate is wide open?
The city gate was probably knocked open by the Mongols, but after such a long time, the engineers in the city should have repaired it early.
Weird, everything here is too weird.
"Meng Zan, look, what is going on?"
Xie Chao turned his head and asked.
"Your Majesty, no matter how you look at it, this looks like an empty city plan."
Meng Zan frowned.
Meng Zan was the number one counselor of the Youzhou Army. He was once just a school captain. At that time, King Zhao Xie Ping rebelled, and the first person to stand up and oppose him was Meng Zan. Meng Zan had something to say.
He sent troops, but Xie Ping was red-eyed at that time and would not listen to anyone. When he heard the obstruction, he immediately sent Meng Zan to raise horses. After the Youzhou incident was defeated, Xie Chao remembered this captain and immediately used it.
, and later, at Meng Zan's suggestion, Xie Chao issued a document to accuse himself and carried out many activities to save Youzhou from a disaster.
From then on, Xie Chao followed Meng Zan's advice, and Youzhou's military strength also developed rapidly.
"The empty city plan... they shouldn't be so bold, right? The general guarding the city is not Zhuge, and I'm not Sima Yi. This capital is Long Yan's capital, so they shouldn't take such risks."
Xie Chao analyzed.
"Your Highness, in my opinion, this is just a bluff by General Long Yan. Your Highness, please think that when Beijing is at its weakest, the Mongolian army must have gathered the elites from the grassland to attack the city, and it must have been the most violent attack.
The city wall is seriously damaged, but the soldiers are all in high spirits, and there are even a few wounded. Don’t you think, Your Highness, that all this is a bit unreasonable?"
Meng Zan analyzed it carefully.
Meng Zan's inference once again supported Xie Chao's intuition, but the matter was so serious that he still did not dare to make a decision.
"Your Highness, after a great battle, Jinghua must have suffered heavy losses. But at this moment, their military appearance is neat and tidy, and even the city gates are wide open. This must be to frighten us who lead the troops to serve the king, so that we dare not have any different intentions, and only need to delay
When other local armies arrive, we will lose the opportunity to attack the city. Your Highness, I think you should make a decisive decision and lead the army to attack the city! If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to achieve a great cause!"
After hearing what Meng Zan said, Xie Ping clenched his fists.
Although what Meng Zan said was reasonable, he still hesitated.
Now, he is still King Qin's army. Even if the army approaches the city, as long as he goes back, he will still be the King of Zhao; and as long as the drums beat and the soldiers charge, then he will be a rebel and there will be no retreat.
