Chapter 103 Abandoning the city and fleeing?
Wang Ting gritted his teeth: "Then let's fight again!"
Even though he knew that doing so would have a great impact on Dayan, Wang Ting still did this.
Thinking about it, the enemy is about to drive over. Without soldiers, would he be allowed to wait for death?
Besides, even if he was defeated and died, what he left for Xia Qi was nothing but a broken country.
This is a bit like that. After I die, I don’t care about the smell of floods.
Later, Wang Ting led the army to retreat to the royal city.
Yuanhe City in the rear was taken down. If you don’t leave, you will be stabbed in an essay.
At the same time, with the resignation order issued by the royal court again, and the news of the defeat of the front-line siege army spread, for a moment, in the territory of Dayan, everyone in the city was in danger, and the soldiers in the army were everywhere
When arresting people, let alone some young and strong young men, even some men in their forties and fifties, as long as their limbs are healthy, they will be arrested. This is enough to show that Wang Ting was really forced to force himself this time.
In comparison, the people of Dongyuan City, Xincheng, Yuanhe City, and Yuanhe City, which fell into Xia Qi's hands, lived a more stable life.
Because for the people of these three cities, the only thing Xia Qi did after conquering the city was to block the city gates on both sides. Of course, this would have an impact on them, but it is a big deal.
Once Yan's soldiers captured the city, they would burn, kill and loot. Compared with the style of bullying men and dominating women on their own land, the two groups of people can be said to be judged immediately.
In this way, after the first few days of worry, the people who had already realized this simply lived a peaceful life.
However, there is still some troubles when you are still peaceful. For example, because of the closed city gate, many people are unable to leave the city to work and have no surplus food at home because they cannot leave the city to work.
Xia Qi was simply acting like this. He waved his hand and asked someone to set up a few big pots of food in the center of the city. It was not that his Virgin’s heart was flooded, but because once a famine broke out in the city,
There will definitely be more troublesome things happening.
At the same time, Xia Qi's action unexpectedly made him gain a good reputation in these three cities. He obviously occupied other people's cities, but for some reason he had a feeling of the will of the people, and with the past
Li Chuan, who had just surrendered, and his surrendered soldiers, also shouted "The patriarch's benevolence and righteousness". His loyalty began to rise rapidly. I wonder if Wang Ting would see the scene here.
I will be so angry that I will spit out a mouthful of blood again.
Let’s get back to the point, after four days of rest, all the seriously injured soldiers were sent back to Daxia City to recuperate.
In addition, Xia Qi encountered a little troublesome thing, that is, the Eight Niu Crossbow has crossbow arrows.
In fact, it is a bit wrong to say that. The heavy crossbow arrows that were shot out before will undoubtedly be picked up all of them when they cleared the battlefield after the war. After all, every heavy crossbow arrow can be said to be expensive, so how can you really think of it.
Have you used disposable items? Not to mention heavy crossbow arrows, even the arrows shot by archers can be recycled, so try to recycle them as much as possible.
However, military equipment like this cannot be reused as long as it is picked up, because the bronze arrow will wear out. The heavy crossbow of the Baniu Crossbow is usually used three to five times and it should be sent back to the military equipment.
The forging part was rebuilt.
In the previous battle, these heavy crossbows and arrows were all
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It was shot on the siege tower covered with bronze armor plates! It is conceivable what the bronze arrow would look like when hitting such a thick bronze armor plate. The arrow part was seriously damaged.
Although it can still be used as a means, its destructive power to the city walls and gates has been greatly reduced.
However, Xia Qi had already ordered the rear military forging department to make every effort to make a batch of heavy crossbow arrows specially designed for the Eight Niu Crossbow. Calculate the time and it should be delivered in a few days.
Next, Xia Qi led his troops to advance the front line to Kihara Castle, which is the city guarded by Li Ke.
The previous New City Siege was nominally commanded by him, but the one who issued the order was Wang Ting.
Three days later, fifty heavy crossbow arrows that were urgently made were finally transported to the front line. This time, Xia Qi was obviously determined to break through the gate of Muhara City, and directly brought the six eighth ones this time.
All the bull crossbows were pushed out!
Without nonsense, Xia Qi waved his hand and fired at the same time. The first round of volleys directly locked the crossbow placed on the city wall.
A series of violent roars hit Li Ke's heart, making him feel scared. Faced with this range suppression, the crossbow on their Muyuan city wall was completely devoured, and there was no power to resist at all. The powerful and violent attack was stormy.
It mercilessly destroyed the crossbow on their walls and hit the morale of the soldiers guarding the city.
Three wheels opened fire, and after destroying the crossbow on the opposite city wall, Xia Qi instructed the army to advance for 100 meters and turned the attack target into the gate of Kihara Castle.
After getting closer, the eight-niu crossbow has significantly improved its hit rate and power. In just one round of attack, it caused obvious damage to the gate of Muhara City. Xia Qi was thinking about what the opponent would do next.
When he left, he accidentally discovered that the soldiers guarding the city wall on the opposite city were evacuating quickly.
Originally, he thought the other party was planning to leave the city to fight, but the closed gate of Kihara City was slow to see any movement. Xia Qi, who noticed the strangeness, flashed a trace of thought in his eyes, and then signaled the Eight Niu Crossbow to stop attacking.
After a while, he raised his hand and sent a small cloud ladder troops to quickly approach, climbed up the walls of Muhara City to confirm the situation, and finally found that the defending troops in the city had actually destroyed the East City Gate.
The mechanism was withdrawn.
"These cowards actually abandoned the city and fled. They are really not a man!"
The bear and generals such as Bailang who learned the news were full of depression.
Unlike the few people who were full of depression, Xia Qi obviously wanted to think more. As an important defense line in the East of the Great Yan Dynasty, Li Ke even beat him after he noticed the destructive power of the Eight Niu Crossbow.
Retreat without fighting. This action is simply two extremes from their attitude of defending the city a few days ago.
After quickly sorting out the thoughts in his mind, Xia Qi pondered for a moment, then asked Li Chuan, who knew the situation in Dayan best, "Li Chuan, what do you think?"
As a wise general, Li Chuan obviously noticed the unusual behavior of Li Ke at this time, so he had been thinking about this matter just now.
"Without the order of the Wang Ting, according to Li Ke's character, he would never dare to abandon the city and escape like this, but he retreated so simply this time, and most of the time he received the sign from the Wang Ting."
After hearing this conclusion, Xia Qi rubbed his chin and asked again, "Behind this Muhara City is the royal city, right?"
"Yes." Li Chuan
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Nodded.
"Do you think the royal court may abandon the Dayan Royal City and retreat?"
"I think it is unlikely. If I retreat westward, I will only have two small cities with weak city defense and defense. In comparison, Dayan King City is the largest city with the largest population in Dayan.
Even Dayan gave up, so the royal court would not have a chance to turn the tables in the future.”
A hint of understanding flashed in Xia Qi's eyes when he heard this. According to Li Chuan, if Wang Ting wants to turn the tables against the wind, he must not give up the Dayan King City. Once he gives up, he will have no one and no resources at that time.
, What capital does he have to talk about this turnaround issue?
In this way, the other party's meaning was easy to guess. It was obviously to protect its troops and then fight him to the death outside the Dayan Royal City.
As this thought flashed through my mind, the two teams who climbed into Kihara City with the ladder also spent a lot of effort to finally open the East City Gate.
After the army entered the city, Xia Qi found that the Muyuan City was particularly lively. At first glance, he saw a fire burning in the distance soaring into the sky.
Considering the various situations, Xia Qi decisively mobilized his troops to assist the people in the city to put out the fire. After that, it was confirmed that the two buildings burned in the city were granaries and armories, and other surrounding buildings were also affected to a certain extent.
Fortunately, the fire was controlled in time and no further losses were caused.
Xia Qi had basically no idea about Wang Ting's method. In Wang Ting and Li Ke's view, this move may have successfully prevented the food and weapons that could not be taken away from falling into the hands of the enemy, but for the current situation, it is basically
Xia Qi, who was not short of food and grass and weapons, basically had no impact.
On the contrary, the people of Kihara Castle were panicked and complained. Coupled with the previous forced recruitment of soldiers, it is easy to imagine how strong the public grievances of Kihara Castle were at this moment.
The other party's cooperation gave Xia Qi an excellent opportunity to win people's hearts. He decisively asked people to open warehouses and release grain, and then asked Li Chuan and others to help appease the people in the city, and could also help to improve the loyalty of the surrendered soldiers. He
What about having fun without doing it?
As it turned out, Xia Qi's move was successful. He shouted "Is anyone able to repair the city gate?" in the crowd. Several people immediately stood up and expressed their willingness to help them repair the city gate mechanism, and even
Xia Qi later asked a few people to ask about the situation of various cities in Dayan during this period. The people were completely conscious of everything. There was no doubt that these people were experiencing the situation of Dayan and
Wang Ting's loyalty has fallen below sixty points.
At this time, Xia Qi was thinking in his mind whether to transfer all the population in these cities to his territory after this full-scale war. Anyway, everyone has already found out, and these people have surrendered after surrendering.
With the blessing of his "higher personality" talent, loyalty is probably easily reaching seventy or even eighty points, which can just add a large amount of human resources to his Daxia civilization.
Of course, this is just an idea for the time being. He has to think about whether to do this or not. He has to think about it carefully. There is not something to accept as long as it is accepted. You have to see if there are so many people on your territory.
The jobs and living areas, not to mention the full-scale war in front of you hasn't been finished yet.
In order to avoid the long nights and dreams, Xia Qi did not stay in Kihara Castle for a long time. After resting for a night, he left a hundred troops in the city as a supporter, and then the army slowly left the city and rushed towards the decisive battle of this all-out war!
