Chapter 446 Follow me to kill the enemy
Zhao family.
Zhao Zihan held his head with his hands and was studying the art of war painstakingly.
There was a commotion outside, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he went out to check.
"what's the situation?"
He walked to the door and asked the guard.
"Suddenly, a group of attackers appeared in the city and attacked the defenders at the city gate and wall. They numbered only two to three hundred people. The Qingzhou Army stationed in the city has also been mobilized for support. They should be calmed down soon."
The Zhao family guard opened his mouth and told what he knew.
"An attack by two to three hundred people..."
Zhao Zihan repeated in a low voice, this is not a small amount.
And since the Qingzhou Army can be dispatched, it means that these people are not a group of rabble, but a group of well-trained people.
What is the purpose of such a large group of people?
It's impossible to just kill a few capital guards, right? You must know that such a large number of craftsmen in the city, and they are still undiscovered, can play a role far beyond reducing some of the city's defenders.
Moreover, the people of the Zhang family and the Chen family were able to escape and die, and most of the forces in the capital were eradicated. In this case, these two to three hundred people are likely to be their last manpower.
Attacking the city gate, there is fighting again outside the city, could it be...
Dayu's army has a numerical advantage. If the city gate is opened at this time, the consequences will be disastrous.
Thinking about it, he hurriedly said:
"Gather the men and go to the city gate... No, go to the Qingzhou Army barracks."
The Zhao family moved very quickly, but after a while, a team of hundreds of people had been assembled, mainly composed of the Zhao family's secret guards and bodyguards.
Zhao Ziyu jumped on his horse and quickly rushed to the location of the Qingzhou military camp.
It was also at this time that he happened to see the Qingzhou Army advancing step by step in military formation.
As for their location, many men in black hiding in the dark were exposed.
"Shoot arrows and kill all the men in black!"
The people in black were shocked when they saw another team coming from behind. Being attacked from both sides, they had no choice but to escape.
However, the people brought by the Zhao family are all elites, and they all hold high-precision repeating crossbows. Several rounds of arrows rained down, and half of the men in black fell to the ground.
The leading man in black looked ugly. If he continued fighting like this, it wouldn't take long before the entire team would be wiped out.
"Get back into the house quickly!"
As long as you enter the house, there is room for maneuver.
Many men in black jumped into a nearby room. The Qingzhou Army was about to give chase, but was interrupted by Zhao Zihan:
"Go to the city gate!"
The Qingzhou Army general staying here is none other than Jiang Li. He had met Zhao Zihan several times and knew that he was Lin Xiaofan's apprentice.
Thinking of the scene where Lin Xiaofan was strategizing, this young apprentice should be no different. There must be a reason for him to say that.
"Commanders, go to the city gate!"
Jiang Li waved his hand and said.
The Qingzhou Army ignored the men in black and went straight to the city gate. Zhao Zihan waved his hand, and half of the Zhao family behind them separated to deal with the men in black hiding in the dark.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The sound of the alarm bell sounded, making Zhao Zihan's heart tighten and he urged:
"General Jiang Li, speed up, the city gate is about to be captured!"
"Faster!"
Jiang Li was also very anxious and urged.
When they arrived at the city gate, they found that the gate was being slowly opened by a group of capital guards.
Surrounded by corpses, they also belonged to the capital's iron guards. Many people wanted to stop the city gate from opening, but to no avail due to lack of manpower.
"Archery!"
Zhao Zihan and everyone in the Zhao family all rode fast horses and ran at the front. Seeing that the city gate was about to open, arrows pierced the sky and shot towards the city gate.
Several men in black fell to the ground, but it still did not affect the city gate being slowly opened.
A gap gradually widened, and soldiers with big jade squeezed out from inside.
Zhao Zihan looked outside through the gap and saw the densely packed Dayu army, and felt his scalp numb.
"Quickly go and inform the emperor, as well as the people in the city, everyone, prepare to respond to the enemy!"
After Dayu's army entered, they did not rush to attack. Instead, they formed a fighting formation and occupied the city wall steadily.
After several exchanges of bows and arrows from both sides, Dayu's troops increased in number and directly launched a charge.
The Qingzhou Army is not a vegetarian either. It has experienced the baptism of countless battles. In addition, most of its weapons are refined armor, and its combat effectiveness is even better than that of the Beijing Iron Guard.
They blocked Dayu's army near the entrance, preventing them from entering the capital.
At Daqian Palace, a soldier came quickly.
"Your Majesty, it's bad, the city gate has fallen, and Dayu's army rushed in!"
Kang Hong's expression changed drastically, he slapped the table and stood up:
"Are you kidding me? Someone just sent me news that Lieutenant Lin led his troops to gain the upper hand against the enemy, and Dayu's deputy general Yuan Wu was severely wounded by Fengsheng. It didn't even last two quarters of an hour, how could the city gate be possible? Fall!"
He was completely panicked. The city gate fell, and the army led by Lin Xiaofan was in danger. That's 20,000 people. How could the thirty thousand people left in the capital defeat Dayu's one hundred thousand army?
"Your Majesty, it's absolutely true. At that time, a large group of men in black suddenly appeared in the city and attacked the guards on the city walls and gates."
"After attracting most of the soldiers, many of the soldiers who defended the city rebelled. I saw with my own eyes that the city gate was opened and Dayu's troops poured in. If there is even half a lie, I am willing to suffer Lingchi's punishment."
Soldiers fell to their knees in the tunnel.
Kang Hong calmed down a bit.
Although the capital city is said to be impregnable, if we attack from the inside, it is indeed very possible to capture the city gate.
"Lieutenant Lin now has the upper hand, and with the assistance of more than 10,000 soldiers from Tian'an City, Dayu will have to dedicate at least 60,000 troops to deal with it. In other words, the number of people who come to attack the capital is only 40,000 at most."
A minister on the side spoke and analyzed.
In this way, with the 30,000 garrison in the capital, street fighting is not something to be afraid of.
"wrong!"
Kang Hong opened his mouth to deny it, and after thinking for a moment, he said:
"Zong Wenfu was able to lead troops to conquer the three major countries, which shows that he is a famous general. It is impossible that he cannot even judge how many men can conquer the capital."
There are also palace guards in the capital, and there are also many guards in each family. Moreover, Daqian's soldiers knew the capital better and were not afraid of the 40,000 Dayu army in street fighting.
"I feel that their target is the army outside the city."
Kang Hong took a deep breath and said.
If we can send a small number of soldiers and horses to block the gate of the capital and then surround Taiwei Lin's army, then we can hope to annihilate all the 20,000 people outside the city. Moreover, generals such as Lin Xiaofan, Jianfeng, and Jianbai will also inevitably die.
After killing all the troops outside the city, they will then attack the capital with all their troops. If they can do anything, they will lose.
"Assemble the palace guards and follow me to the city gate for support."
Kang Hong made a decision immediately.
