Chapter 1405

The dialogue between Huangfu Chaobo and Zhang Yan is not an exaggeration. The role of cavalry is indispensable for the Tang army to have today's power. It is the first in the world in terms of quantity and excellence. But now Bingzhou is under the front of Xianbei army, and Youzhou is attacked by Xianbei army.

Yuan Shao, one of the other princes, now has a connection with the grassland. I believe that the Wei parliament will spare no effort to develop cavalry in the next time. The state of Wei had a large number of war horses, which meant that his ally Qi also had the way of war horses.

As soon as they advance and retreat, the cavalry advantage of the state of Tang will weaken a lot, or even lose it. Therefore, this is the reason why Huangfu Chaobo is in a hurry to return to Luoyang.

Just when Huangfu Chaobo wanted to rush back to Luoyang, the situation in Chifeng City had become more and more difficult.

After several days of attack, the loss of troops and horses in Chifeng City is increasing day by day, while the Xianbei army is slowly reducing the loss because of taking turns to fight and the existence of people who know the siege war like gold and wood needles.

"Dangdang..." the voice of the withdrawal of Xianbei army sounded, but there was no cheering of Tang Sergeant soldiers at the city head as a few days ago. There was no way, and the guards were too tired. After four or five days of fighting, there were only more than 3000 soldiers left, and hundreds of seriously injured soldiers were sent to the inner city for treatment.

Now there are only more than 2000 soldiers guarding the city on the city wall. The king's gate has left the last 500 elite cavalry who did not participate in the war. This is his last strength to break through. It is estimated that if the first soldiers in the city are not in the hands of Wang Zhuang, he will gather the first soldiers in the city. Now it is estimated that he will not help the first soldiers in the city.

But now, there are less than half of the nearly 5000 strong people he has recruited.

Looking at the Xianbei army retreating slowly under the city, the king's gate was slightly relieved. He found a slightly clean place at the head of the city and sat down. He turned his head to look at the direction of the west wall. It seems that the Xianbei army over there has also retreated, and there should be soldiers coming to report the situation there soon.

Not surprisingly, Cheng ang, who was in charge of defending the west wall, came to report the war: "general, there are no more 200 brothers. If we go on like this, we can't support it for a few days."

Cheng ang is the confidant of the royal family. At first, he was just a team leader in his army. He has been with the royal family for more than ten years. Now he has worked as a school captain. When the royal family was the governor of Lulong, Cheng ang was the school captain in charge of 5000 people, but then Gongsun Zan transferred a large number of Lulong troops, so there were only 2000 soldiers left under Cheng ang, of which only 1000 were the elite of their leadership for many years.

When the Xianbei army attacked, the king's gate arranged for him to defend the west wall. In just a few days, more than half of the two thousand soldiers in his hands had been lost.

As the confidant of the king's gate, he also knew that the king's gate was ready to retreat. Therefore, after arranging the affairs at the head of the city, he hurried to the north city to find the king's gate.

The king's gate didn't speak. He looked back at the Xianbei army that had withdrawn several miles away. At this time, Wang Jing, who was covered with blood, came up: "general, the statistics of the losses are out. Today, 103 people were killed and 59 seriously injured. The rest of the soldiers are basically wounded."

At this point, he took a few steps closer and said in a voice that only the three of them could hear: "father, if you don't withdraw to the inner city, you can't keep it for two days."

These days, in order not to cause panic in the city, the king's gate did not order the generals and officials of the outer city to evacuate their families to the inner city. However, all the injured soldiers were arranged for treatment in the inner city.

As soon as Wang Jing's words were finished, Cheng ang also looked at Wang men with expectant eyes, obviously agreeing with Wang Jing's words.

After thinking for a while, the king finally ordered and agreed to their request: "well, jing'er, you go and arrange. First, send someone to transport all the materials from the outer city back to the inner city, and then organize soldiers to escort all the important family members into the inner city. Remember, you must wait until dark."

Wang Jing understood the meaning of the king's gate. After dark, there was a curfew in the city, and all the people stayed in their homes. In this way, even when the soldiers in the city transferred materials, they could hide it from the ordinary people as much as possible. There was no way. The inner city was only a quarter of the size of the outer city, and there was no room for so many people, so

"Well, you two go and arrange it first. Remember, don't let the Xianbei patrol outside the city find anything unusual. The soldiers on duty on the wall wait until the second midnight before returning to the inner city."

"Promise!" Hearing the speech, they quickly agreed in unison, and then turned to arrange the vigil and retreat.

The king gate continued to stay on the wall and looked at Chifeng City, which was about to fall into the night without saying a word.

After nightfall, Wang Jing began to arrange the transportation of various materials, and the people in the city had already returned to their homes, hiding in the dark and looking at the busy soldiers in the streets of the city through the cracks in the doors and windows. Many of them thought that the guards were transporting materials and preparing for tomorrow's war, but they didn't know that the guards had abandoned them in the outer city.

However, not everyone was confused by Wang Jing's actions. In a street yard near the west gate of the city, there were 20 or 30 people, half of whom were players and the other half were ordinary people's clothes. However, if you carefully observe them, you will find that they have obvious Xianbei characteristics.

These people are the masterpieces sent by jinmuzhen to Chifeng City. They are led by Xiaoyi and Babu. Because of their war these days, some of them have been recruited into the city guard team, and if they participate in the war, there will inevitably be losses. Now there are 16 people killed by their own people on the wall alone.

At this time, Xiao B and barb are discussing how to deal with it.

"Brother B, brother Jin, when are they going to let us pick you up? If they don't do it again, our brothers will be killed by their own people." One of the players complained;

"Yes, Xiao B, can you contact the Lord now? If you don't do it again, the brothers who brought them into the city will lose their money." Babu also spoke aside;

"I want to, but I haven't received a signal from JINDA. I can't help it." Xiao B also touched his head in distress. Now he is also anxious, but there are no special circumstances in the city, so he can only wait for the signal of gold and wood needle.

"No, brother B, the garrison in the city is not transporting materials to the city wall, but evacuating materials to the inner city." At this time, the player in charge of guarding suddenly found the abnormality of the soldiers in the city.
