Soldiers from the Western Liang Dynasty kept throwing away their weapons and kneeling down on the roadside in panic. They looked at the Nanchen soldiers rushing towards every corner of the city like a tide. The red flags were fluttering in the wind, and the whole Jiangling
The city is awash in red.
But this is not the crimson of blood, but the crimson of the flag, the color of victory.
"Report to the general, our army has broken through the east gate. At the same time, the enemies at the south gate and west gate have also given up resistance. There are countless Western Liang soldiers who have surrendered." Chen Yu, who personally led a group of scouts to supervise the battle, rushed to Xiao Mo with his head covered with mud.
He is around.
As Xiao Mohe's former supervisor, he was actually supervising the battle team. However, Chen Yu did not expect that before he had time to cut off the heads of his deserters, the city gate was broken through. In an instant, thousands of troops shouted and thousands of horses ran.
, Chen Yu and his men worked hard to come back against the crowd. They received a lot of looks along the way, which made Chen Yu think for a while that he was a deserter.
Xiao Mohe nodded slightly, and a smile finally appeared on his gloomy face. He turned slightly and looked at a figure sitting quietly and motionless: "This time I really troubled Mr. Xiao. Without Mr. Xiao, I'm afraid
The resistance of your soldiers will not be so weak."
Xiao Kui, who was holding the teacup but never took a few sips, shook his hand slightly and simply put down the teacup. There was no need to continue to cover up the pain and struggle in his heart. Xiao Kui knew very well that it was just his own self.
Just comfort.
Everything has already happened, how can we change it in time? At that moment, he said calmly: "The general who defeated the army and the king who subjugated the country is just a piece of fish on the chopping board. Why should the general humiliate me like this?"
After a pause, before Xiao Mohe could speak, Xiao Kui followed up and said: "What's more, although Jiangling City has fallen into the hands of the general, the general's troubles have not been solved. At least I have been here for so long.
, but I didn’t see those young generals who have met me before. I’m afraid it won’t be that easy to use their troops to resist the Northern Zhou army and General Yuchi.”
Xiao Mohe frowned slightly. After all, the guy in front of him had been the leader of a country. He was able to lead Xi Liang to survive in the cracks. As expected, he was somewhat capable. Simply relying on these few clues, one could detect Xiao Mohe.
The predicament that Maha is facing now is not simple for Xiao Kui.
Thanks to Lu Teng not trusting him very much, and Xiao Kui's noble status, which cannot be compromised, I am afraid that if Xiao Kui and Lu Teng work together to defend the city, Xiao Mohe will want to win it in a short time.
Gangneung City is not that easy.
"General Qi!" A scout ran over quickly, "Lu Teng led the remnants of the Northern Zhou army to retreat to the inner city of Jiangling for defense. The inner city wall was flush with the outer city. Although there was no moat, the wall was thicker and the land was
Teng used debris to block the four city gates, and now the brothers are stepping up their attack."
"Inner city?" Xiao Mohe raised his eyebrows and immediately understood that the so-called inner city must be the imperial city and palace city in Xiliang. Since a city like Jiangling is the capital of a country, it certainly does not have only one city wall.
As an important barrier for the defenders to resist and maintain their treatment after the city is broken, the inner city is naturally a necessary building for the capital. Of course, the inner city also has another function, that is, when generals and ministers with evil intentions rebel, the inner city can
Temporarily protect the royal family and the civil and military officials of the government and the public, thereby buying time for reinforcements to arrive to put down the rebellion.
Lu Teng obviously also saw that Xiao Kui's capture had a heavy blow to the morale of the soldiers in Xiliang. The effect of the previous measures that Queen Zhang personally led the palace people to reward the army naturally had an effect at the moment Xiao Kui had to show up.
Just vanish into ashes.
In the next attack, the morale-boosted Nanchen army rushed to the city head again and again. If it weren't for the Northern Zhou army as a reserve force in the city who fought fiercely and put out fires everywhere, Jiangling City might have been taken down long ago.
Now Lu Teng also realized that the Xiliang people alone could no longer defend the city. What he needed was a smaller city so that his army, as the general manager of Jiangling in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, could directly take care of the defense.
After all, for an army with a small number of people, a tall and spacious city may not be the best choice, because to a greater extent it means that they can only use fewer people to defend a larger area, but it is better to concentrate
become more effective.
"Approximately how many people are there in this inner city?" Xiao Mohe asked in a deep voice as the smile on his face disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"There are not many of them. The Northern Zhou barbarians under Lu Teng's command have only more than 2,000 people left after fighting against them. In addition to the ones we blocked in the streets, it is estimated that there are even fewer left in the inner city." The scout hurriedly said.
Report.
Xiao Mohe nodded and ordered the generals around him: "All ballistas and trebuchets move forward into the city to assist in attacking the inner city. Also tell the crossbowmen not to be reluctant to fight and give full support to the inner city!"
"No!" Several generals responded hurriedly.
Xiao Mohe turned to look at Chen Yu, frowned and said, "Chen Yu, take this guy down!"
Looking at the soldiers coming up to him, Xiao Kui sneered: "Xiao Mohe, Xiao Mohe, are you also feeling panic and fear? The situation in the Jiangling battle is uncertain, which is not a good thing for you. Now.
You don’t even want to let me read it, are you afraid that some bad news will come to you, or that I might see your joke?”
"Shut up!" Chen Yu scolded hurriedly.
Xiao Mohe waved his hand to tell Chen Yu and the others not to use violence. He looked at Xiao Kui who was already a little crazy with pity, then reached out and picked up his helmet: "I asked someone to take you down, just because I want to lead the army."
The city is over, where does the fear and panic come from?”
After a pause, Xiao Mohe walked forward without looking at Xiao Kui's shocked and doubtful expression: "You are not confident in your Jiangling City, Lu Teng, or even Yuchi who is far away in Xiangyang.
Well, then let me show you how your Jiangling City was defeated in someone’s hands, and how Lu Teng’s head rolled down in someone’s hands!”
As he spoke, Xiao Mohe walked down the general platform, and the guards behind him followed with sonorous steps.
Panic? Fear?
joke!
Our general dared to charge at the enemy's center with twelve men. He no longer knew what panic and fear were. When Xiao Mohe heard these two words, he could only sneer at them.
And Xiao Kui looked at Xiao Mohe in despair: "Are you really not worried about the Northern Zhou army coming from Xiangyang? When the time comes, your footing will be unstable. How long can you sustain it under the pressure of internal and external forces?!"
"Unstable footing, internal and external aggression?" Xiao Mohe raised his eyebrows, paused, and laughed, "Then I don't know where the Northern Zhou army you mentioned and the Yuchi Jiong you mentioned are?"
As he spoke, Xiao Mohe turned around and met Xiao Kui's eyes: "I have been waiting for you for so many days, but they never showed up."
