It is impossible for the cavalry to attack the city and to attack the city successfully.
But if they can enter the city, it will be their world.
Jia Xu said: "The other party dared to come even though they knew it was impossible. They must have a certain degree of confidence."
It is impossible for Han Sui to think that he can conquer Chang'an City for no reason. Someone must have given him confidence.
And this person, probably someone close to Han Sui, gave Han Sui a plan, and Han Sui thought he had a good chance.
But how could Han Sui have any brilliant counselors by his side?
The spies came back with no warning.
Therefore, there are other factors.
Jia Xu said: "My lord, you have to be careful about the people in the city."
Wang Ding finally understood and said: "Sir, what you are saying is that there is someone in the city colluding with Han Sui?"
Jia Xu said: "Besides that, Han Sui cannot possibly destroy the city in a short time with 20,000 cavalry."
Outside the city, Han Sui's soldiers had already set up tents, which were densely packed with thousands of tents.
At this moment, there are still people outside the camp digging a pit with shovels.
Wang Ding stood on the city wall, watching the situation outside the city while talking to Jia Xu.
"Who in the city would collude with Han Sui?" Wang Ding's spies have not yet penetrated everything.
He believed in Jia Xu's judgment, but the hundreds of thousands of people in the city might be traitors arranged by Han Sui very early, or they might be people in the court.
Without evidence, Jia Xu could only make a guess. He said: "Last time, the people in the DPRK who opposed the lord's sending troops were most likely. The lord can focus on monitoring the movements of these people."
Wang Ding nodded. The ordinary meticulous work was weak and weak. At most, it was just to convey some news. He wanted to cooperate with Han Sui to attack the city, but he didn't have the ability yet.
On the contrary, the ministers in the court, even if they do not hold military power, still have guards at home, and may even have soldiers to die.
"Gong Ming, sent more people to guard each city gate. All roads leading to the city gate in the city are watched by people. No one in the city is allowed to approach the city gate." Wang Ding said.
Xu Huang took the order and said: "Here."
Wang Dingdao: "Li Su, take the people to keep an eye on Liu Fan and Liu Dan."
Li Su cupped his fists and accepted the order: "Here."
Outside the city, Han Sui's 20,000 cavalry have completed building a camp. At this moment, smoke is already rising over the camp.
However, outside the camp, thousands of cavalry were scattered to prevent the army in the city from suddenly attacking them.
The opponent was all cavalry, so Wang Ding never thought of leaving the city to fight with the opponent.
There is obviously a city wall to rely on, why should we use our own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strong points?
Wang Ding looked at the camp built by the other party and could only say that it was quite satisfactory and nothing special.
If Zhang Liao's cavalry is still in the city, Wang Ding might really take advantage of the opponent's unsteady footing to sneak out of the city to attack.
Forget it now.
Han Sui only brought cavalry with him, but no baggage, and not much food and grass.
However, the rice fields outside the city can now complement Han Sui.
The other party is not moving now, but when it really runs out of food, it will definitely snatch the food in the fields.
Now Han Sui may be thinking that as long as Chang'an City is conquered, all the food outside the city will be his. There is no need to waste the food by grabbing it randomly now.
Wang Ding stared at Han Sui's army outside, observing carefully.
Whether it’s the construction of the opponent’s camp, the distribution of tents, or the smoke rising from the opponent’s cooking pots in the camp.
You can learn a lot just by looking at these.
By watching the camp being built, you can discover the other party’s habits, look for loopholes, and avoid making mistakes when building your own camp.
With the distribution of tents, you can observe the location of the generals in the army and the path connections between the tents, and estimate how long it will take for the opponent to suddenly gather.
By looking at the smoke, you can calculate the number of soldiers on the other side. Once you know the number of soldiers on the other side, you can also calculate how long it will take for the other side to feed all 20,000 people.
When night fell, all the camps outside the city lit up torches, and then Wang Ding walked down the city wall.
On the city wall, torches were also lit, and soldiers, wearing armor and holding spears, stood on the battlements, their bodies upright and their eyes fixed.
The city gate was closed tightly, and three large wooden bars with a diameter of two feet were inserted into the holes on both sides of the city wall.
It weighs at least seven to eight hundred kilograms. Without ten or eight big men, it would be impossible to lift it off.
In addition, there are hundreds of soldiers guarding each city gate.
In the middle of the night, ordinary people don’t dare to hang out in front of the city gate.
Everything around was illuminated by torches, and as long as someone appeared, they would be seen immediately by the guarding soldiers.
What's more, in every street in the city, there are soldiers sent by Xu Huang to hide and observe in secret.
Li Su personally stood guard outside Liu Fan's mansion, staring gloomily at the door of the Liu family's mansion.
He was followed by several guards and hundreds of soldiers around him, ready to pounce on the Liu family at any time.
Liu Fan is where Wang must keep an eye on, so Li Su comes in person.
Liu Dan and other ministers in the city are also being watched by people outside their residences.
The darker the night, the quieter the surroundings become.
The lights in the surrounding tall gated courtyards are gradually extinguished.
Wang Ding didn't sleep tonight, and Jia Xu was also at his mansion.
Diao Chan sat beside Wang Ding gently.
There was a pot of strong tea in front of him, which Wang Ding had already drank.
"Sir, are they really going to take action tonight?" Wang Ding asked.
Jia Xu nodded: "Han Sui doesn't have much time, he can't help himself."
Wang Ding nodded. What he has to do now is to wait for the other party to take action and then kill them all.
There is a 70% chance that it is Liu Fan, and a 30% chance that it is someone else.
Without evidence, Wang Ding did not alert the other party in advance to prevent the other party from stopping and then continued to hide.
If this kind of inner ghost is not discovered and dealt with in time, how can Wang Ding leave with peace of mind?
Jia Xu is very patient and confident.
Waited for another hour.
After midnight, Wang Ding was not as calm as Jia Xu, so he asked Diao Chan to go back to his room to rest. He wanted to take a look at the city wall.
If there are people in the city, we will take action tonight.
Han Sui outside the city will definitely not sleep peacefully tonight.
I just came to the city wall and looked at the camps outside the city. Except for the normal torches and patrolling sentries, there was nothing unusual.
In the dark night, Wang Ding's gaze cannot penetrate the tent.
The cavalry under Han Sui's command were all wearing armor and holding weapons in their hands, as if they were waiting for orders.
At this moment, Wang Ding, who was standing on the city wall, suddenly turned around.
In the city, the sound of fighting finally came from the location of the ministers' mansions.
"Here we come." Wang Ding did not go back, he continued to stand on the city wall.
He has already made arrangements in the city. If you don't believe those people, with his advance preparation, they can fight all the way to the city gate and open the city gate.
Wang Ding looked at the camp outside the city. Except for the torches that had never been extinguished, they seemed to be completely the same.
