Chapter 1399

Zhao Yu supports Meng Yi's arrangement very much. The generals of the Tang Dynasty, especially those who have been with Huangfu Chaobo for a long time, are greatly influenced by Huangfu Chaobo. That is, there is a way: fighting is not about the gains and losses of one city and one place, but to eliminate the effective power of the enemy. Save people and lose land, save people and land; Save the land and lose the people, and both people and land will be lost.

Now the situation in Youzhou does not allow them to keep several cities in Chifeng, so they can only let them out temporarily and wait for the opportunity to recapture them when the time is ripe.

Soon, the messenger soldiers in the prefect's residence came out in all directions. The orders signed by Meng Yi and the three people arrived at cities under the transmission of the messenger. In less than half a day, the soldiers and horses of each city opened their mouths one after another and marched towards the established destination, and the subsequent food, grass and baggage were also in rapid preparation and concentrated in the direction of Pingquan city.

Such a fast speed is not only due to Huangfu Chaobo's war preparation arrangement, but also related to the sufficient number of cattle and horses in Yanbei.

At the same time, Meng Yi also told Zhang an and Gongsun Yue generals in youpeiping about the arrangement of the military and horse transfer. However, there are only 30000 soldiers and 5000 white horses in Wuzhong City. Facing the nearly 100000 Wei troops in Yuyang, they dare not relax at all.

If there is no end, the whole territory west of youbeiping and yuciguan in Liaoxi county will belong to the state of Wei. Without these places, all the territories of the state of Tang in Youzhou will be lost.

After consultation, the people in Wuzhong City only came up with a way to use the horses and soldiers in Wuzhong City to step up the recruitment of 3000 white horse Yicong. Gongsun Yue led the old soldiers of 3000 white horse Yicong to Pingquan to join Zhao Yu and enhance the combat power of the cavalry. The 3000 newly recruited soldiers, together with the 2000 old soldiers in Wuzhong City, were handed over to commander Gongsun fan to step up training and form combat strength as soon as possible. Fortunately, although there were still 60000 or 70000 troops in Yuyang County in the state of Wei, there was no sign of continuing eastward advance for the time being.

Meng Yi also sent a secret letter to the king's gate in Chifeng City. In the letter, Meng Yi just asked the king's gate to keep the city as long as possible, waiting for Luoyang to have a will, and he will send a large army to support as soon as possible. Of course, in addition to this letter, Meng Yi also asked the messenger to verbally reply to the situation that the king's gate couldn't keep. He abandoned the city and withdrew south. He and Zhao Yu will plead for him in front of the king.

Huangfu Chaobo said that Meng Yi could break his own way, but it was aimed at Yanbei county. Now the people of the state of Yan have just surrendered, and Huangfu Chaobo's arrangement has not yet arrived. Therefore, Meng Yi and Wang menmen are still at the same level. Both of them are County prefects, and Meng Yi has not been authorized by Huangfu Chaobo to deal with the affairs of Youzhou, Therefore, in the end, it can only be such a result.

……

On the north wall of Chifeng City, wangmen looked at the Xianbei army that had been defeated again and breathed a long sigh of relief. It was the third day of the war, but there was no news from the south, and the defenders in his city had lost nearly a thousand people. Although most of them were newly recruited soldiers, the troops were even more tense for the huge Chifeng City.

The first day of the war was very simple. Filling the trench in the morning was originally the most deadly and injured for the attacking side in the city defense war. However, their own archers were really limited. In addition, the Xianbei cavalry simply filled the trench with cavalry soil, which made them fill dozens of attack channels in one morning.

In the next two days or so, when the ants attacked the city, they still suffered from too few soldiers. The north wall and the west wall are the two directions of Xianbei people's attack, but the attacks in both directions are very fierce. In the other two directions, the east wall is integrated with the inner and outer walls, so the height of the wall is higher than that in the north and West. Although there are thousands of soldiers in Xianbei army, the attack intensity is much lower.

As for the south wall, the Xianbei people didn't send troops at all. The king's gate also understood that the Xianbei people were playing the trick of encircling three and missing one. In this way, enough soldiers must be arranged for the four walls to defend, and the small number of soldiers would be even less.

"Woo... Woo..."

Among the Xianbei Chinese army, the horn of withdrawal sounded, the king's gate looked to the west, and the sun was about to set. It seemed that today's war was basically over, if the Xianbei army did not launch a night attack.

"Come on, send orders and change your defense!"

"Count the war damage!"

"Carry all the wounded into the inner city for treatment!"

"Replenish the defense materials at the head of the city!"

With the orders issued by the king's gate, the soldiers at the head of the city began to get busy again. Teams of soldiers ran up the wall and got busy in an orderly manner.

The king's gate sat on the horse face of the city wall and took out a thin cloth to carefully wipe his sabre, but his eyes couldn't help looking to the south. Although he knew that the possibility of reinforcements was too small, he still hoped that reinforcements would come. After all, the city under his feet is his painstaking efforts over the years. If he gives up in this way, he is very unwilling.

With the passage of time, I saw the sky getting darker and darker, but there was still no miracle in the south. The king's gate put away the fine cloth in his hand and carefully looked at the war knife again before inserting it into the scabbard.

"Choke!"

"Go, accompany ben to patrol the city!" The king's gate to the pro Guardian around him;

Then he stood up and walked towards the west wall.

Although his body was exhausted, the king's gate still inspected the whole city wall. When he returned to the north city again, it was completely dark. After calling the general on duty on the city wall and giving careful instructions, he went down the city wall.

Just after returning to the prefect's residence and preparing to eat, the guard General of Nancheng sent someone to report. They found a messenger who claimed to be sent by Yanbei county. As soon as the king's door heard this, he was in great spirits. He didn't care to have a rest and dinner. He quickly ordered to bring people here.

Soon, a man in black was escorted in by the soldiers. The king's gate looked up and found that it was the head of Yanbei shadow guard he saw in Meng Yi's imperial palace a few days ago.

The king was shocked and ordered the soldiers to untie the rope tied to him: "it was an adult who came personally. The soldiers don't know. If you offend me, please forgive me." With that, he also bowed his hand to the person.

The visitor didn't care. He rubbed his wrist and said with a smile: "General Wang doesn't have to care. I'm ordered by the governor of Mongolia to deliver the letter. However, before that, please ask the general to verify the token according to the rules."

With that, he took out a token from his arms and handed it to the soldiers next to the guard, who handed it to the king's gate.

The king's gate took the token, carefully confirmed it again, and handed it back to the bearer: "where is the letter of the abbot?"
