Sometimes the formation of courage and a certain temperament does not necessarily require killing people.
Just as the Tiece Army sergeants were silently looking at the horse thieves who had stopped because of Qi Zhuji's words, on the top of the city wall of Xiarkang City, which was still an unknown distance away from their pass, several people wearing heavy clothes
The dignitary of the Pochao clan in a cloak was also looking outside the city in silence.
In the wasteland outside the city, on the hillside, and by the river in the distance, there are densely packed camps everywhere.
These seemingly crude but durable tents were like mushrooms emerging from the ground, densely extending in every corner of their sight, even those places that were not usually suitable for garrisoning.
There are many tents like this.
The number of troops has exceeded everyone's imagination in the city.
It's just that these people from the Pochao clan know very well that after sunrise tomorrow, more troops will arrive.
Naturally, you can't fight.
Although Xarkang City is known as the Throat City in Dangxiang, this city is built directly at the most critical pass from the eastern part of Dangxiang to the middle part of Dangxiang. It is like a giant gate falling between the two mountains, directly blocking the passage from the eastern part of Dangxiang to the middle part of Dangxiang.
The only passage in the middle of Dangxiang that can allow large numbers of people to pass through.
But no matter how they occupy the advantageous location, after hearing the news of the fall of Darban City, these outstanding people will never be so arrogant as to think that they can fight against the armies of Xiabaying and Tuyuhun.
Xarkang City cannot compare with Darban City guarded by Tuoba Xiongxin in terms of military strength, number of weapons, and number of practitioners.
Since it was impossible to defeat him, it seemed that the only way left was to surrender.
But surrendering but not surrendering is a bit puzzling.
Pochao looked at the uncles beside him diligently. The worry and doubt in his brows became more and more intense. He was the eldest son of the Pochao clan leader, so he knew more about the war that was already approaching the city.
Details that ordinary generals don't know.
The Pochao clan is the weakest among all the royal families in Dangxiang. The number of soldiers and horses in this city is only about 50,000. If you want to defend the city, you have to rely more on the Mi Qin clan and the Fei Ting clan. The Mi Qin clan
As the holders of the Dangxiang throne at the moment, they are naturally not willing to lose everything they have now, and there is absolutely no way they can directly surrender to Xia Ba Ying. And all the important territories of the Fei Ting clan are behind this city, and they are quite superior to the clan.
Once the city was destroyed, the enemy's army marched straight in, and Fei Ting's territory no longer existed.
However, except for the initial changes in the Tuyuhun border, when the Mi Qin clan and the Fei Ting clan mobilized a total of less than 40,000 troops here, neither the Mi Qin clan nor the Fei Ting clan sent any more troops to help.
The reason is actually not difficult to guess. The Mi Qin clan and the Fei Ting clan did not feel that after exerting all their strength, they would be the opponents of the Xia Ba Ying and Tuyuhun coalition forces, because they felt that it was impossible to be stronger than the Tuoba clan.
According to the latest reliable military information, the Mi Qin clan and the Fei Ting clan are even preparing for a large-scale migration. They have transported a large amount of wealth to the westernmost part of Dangxiang. When facing an invincible and powerful enemy,
These two royal families also chose the same approach as those disadvantaged groups in the past, minimizing losses and migrating to places where they could escape the flames of war.
These uncles probably know these military information better than themselves, so why don't these people make a decision as soon as possible? Is there any miracle that can happen?
"Is it because my father is reluctant to let go?"
He had too many questions in his mind, so he couldn't help but ask these uncles softly: "Is there some other reason that I don't know about?"
"He is just like you. He doesn't have the idea of being in the city when no one is there, and the city is dead and everyone is dead."
His question made these uncles who were originally very serious laugh, "There is no essential difference between our Pochao clan submitting to the Mi Qin clan and submitting to the Xia clan. We have never thought of sharing the same fate.
But the reason why our Pochao clan is different from those ordinary tribes is because we will warn ourselves at any time to make the most appropriate choice at the most appropriate moment."
The tangled texture between Pochao Qingong's brows has not disappeared, and he still doesn't quite understand.
"Xiaba Ying, or no Zao King, her enemies are not in our city. We are not qualified to be her enemies." Among these Pochao clan members, one of the slimmest men turned his head and looked at
Pochao Qinggong said.
He was quite deficient. He was born the thinnest among the brothers of his generation and the sickest when he was young. His mother even doubted whether he could live past the age of three. However, more than ten years later, he relied on his wisdom to
He became one of the most important figures in the Pochao clan.
"I think there will be changes."
He looked at Pochao Qinggong and continued, "Her changes may come from General Achaizhen, or from the Northern Wei Dynasty. After all, she has new allies, the Southern Dynasty's Shenwei Zhenxi General Lin Yi, and the Three Saints of Nantian
Disciple of He Xiuxian, Master of the Sword Pavilion, Breaker of Darban City, and Master of the Alien Dragon."
Dangxiang pays more attention to bloodline than the Southern Dynasty. Bloodline and titles are the concepts they constantly instill in all people in order to maintain the rule of the royal family.
Important figures in the party will add some titles to their titles, but only titles that are well-known and shocking enough can be regarded as titles. At this moment, the wise general of Pochao family added a series of titles when he mentioned Lin Yi,
But no one found it lengthy, and no one found it funny. On the contrary, the more titles were mentioned, the stronger the awe in these people's eyes became.
Pochao Qinggong was stunned for a moment and said: "So neither my father nor you ever thought about defending this city?"
"If you want to surrender, you should surrender to Xiabaying. It is wrong to surrender to the Tuyuhun people first." Pochaque silently looked at the densely packed camps outside the city and said, "What's more, they have never attacked the city. The Southern Dynasty
This general Lin Yi is not easy to kill. Judging from all his previous deeds, he is as trustworthy as Xia Ba Ying, so Xia Ba Ying chose to form an alliance with him. Now if these Tuyuhun people attack the city, we
It's still difficult to handle. If we wait until Xia Baying and Lin Yi arrive, they will at least give us a chance to talk."
Po Chao Qin Gong finally understood what these people were thinking, but his brows furrowed deeper and he said: "It is not the best choice to just wait and wait, let alone when we face Xia Ba Ying and Lin Yi, we still choose to
Waiting here seems too arrogant."
There was finally some relief in Po Chao Que's eyes. He looked at Po Chao Qinggong and said softly: "That's why your father is not in this city until now."
Qu Chao Qin Gong's breathing suddenly stopped, and he finally came to his senses and said a little lost his voice: "My father has already gone to ask for a meeting..."
Po Chaoque smiled and said: "There are no beacon warnings in the distance, so there is no surprise. He should have met with King Wu Zang and General Lin Yi by now."
At this time, another man also turned around, looked at Po Chaoque, smiled, and said: "Otherwise, do you think we are watching some night scene?"
