Chapter 966
That night.
Beimo City is very lively.
Two million troops started a banquet.
The people in the city went to help spontaneously, and many people even brought their own delicious food to reward the army in the northern expedition.
"Come on, the first bowl of wine, I will toast all the soldiers!"
Su Long flew up and picked up a bowl of wine.
The soldiers all stood up and drank with Su Longfei.
After drinking a bowl of wine, Su Longfei filled a bowl.
"For this second bowl of wine, let's pay homage to the warriors of the Northern Expedition Army who died in battle!"
The soldiers drank another bowl of wine.
Then, Su Longfei filled another bowl and looked at Chen Hua.
"For this third bowl of wine, let's respect the Shen Wuhou Chen Qiu. If he hadn't killed three enemy generals in this battle, boosted the morale of the Northern Expedition Army and killed the Zhou army, our battle would definitely not have achieved this effect, so we must respect the Shen Wuhou!"
"Yes! You must respect the God of Wuhou!"
None of the soldiers did not recognize Chen Hua.
In the hearts of the soldiers, Chen Hua has become their backbone. With Chen Hua here, they feel safe.
Chen Hua said: "Thank you for the love of the Grand Marshal and his brothers, I, Chen Qiu, will respect you first!"
After saying that, Chen Hua poured a bowl of wine in.
The soldiers also drank in the sea.
Then Su Longfei ordered everyone to eat and drink openly, and said to Chen Hua with a smile: "Brother Chen, I really thank you very much. If it weren't for you, this war would not have the effect, Your Majesty would not have confidence in the Northern Expedition, and would not have sent four million troops to aid our Northern Expedition."
"So in the next battle, I hope Brother Chen will do more and fight a few more beautiful battles to cheer up Your Majesty's heart. Maybe Your Majesty will send another five or six million troops to help us realize our wish to recapture the eighteen states in the northern border!"
Chen Hua smiled: "Don't worry, Marshal, I will do my best to help Marshal to complete the hegemony of recovering the eighteen states in the northern border, and I am willing to shed the last drop of blood!"
He is a grateful person.
He must repay Su Longfei's kindness.
"good!"
Su Longfei was overjoyed: "With Brother Chen's words, I'll be relieved, brother!"
"Come on! Let's drink!"
And at this time.
The Great Zhou side was dispatching five million troops to rush towards Beimo City.
Chen Hua and the others were halfway through eating and drinking.
"Report!!!"
Someone ran in in a hurry.
"Report to the commander-in-chief, the scouts in front of him came to report that the Great Zhou side had sent five million troops to rush towards Beimo City. It is expected that they will arrive at Beimo City around tomorrow!"
Upon hearing the news, Su Longfei immediately shouted: "Stop drinking, don't drink anymore. Zhou Jun will arrive at Beimo City tomorrow at the hour of the day, collect all the wine, continue to eat the food, eat all the full, and have the strength to deal with Zhou Jun tomorrow!"
Then he summoned the generals together to discuss strategies to deal with the enemy.
"This time, the Zhou army dispatched five million troops, obviously to eat us, but our four million reinforcements did not arrive so quickly, and it would take at least ten days to arrive. Do you think we should defend Beimo City and other aid, or retreat first, and then launch an attack after joining the reinforcements?"
Su Longfei asked.
An extremely cavalry general immediately said: "Warning the city, two million vs five million. Although the advantage is not great, it is not a big problem to defend for ten days. Moreover, the general was given the title of the Great Commander of the North Mountain Road and the Great Commander of the Tianshan Road. The commander of the two provinces can lead the army to attack the enemy from the periphery."
"The combined forces of these two places are at least two million, and our forces are 4 million. If we form an internal and external cooperation with us, we will definitely be able to attack the Zhou army!"
"I agree!"
"I agree too!"
All the generals expressed their agreement.
"Brother Chen, where are you?" Su Longfei looked at Chen Hua.
Chen Hua said: "If we can transfer two million troops from Beishan Road and Tianshan Road, then five million Zhou troops will not scare us. Besides, there are four million reinforcements. It is better to directly defend Beimo City than to retreat. At least, defending Beimo City will not make the people in the city feel disappointed. If we retreat, we are afraid that the Zhou army will massacre the city."
Su Longfei nodded.
"Then defend Beimo City!"
The next day.
Five million Zhou troops arrived outside Beimo City on time.
At this time, Su Longfei had already prepared to defend the city, and stood on the city tower with the generals, looking at the five million Zhou troops rolling towards him, and all his expressions remained unchanged.
It's not that they underestimate the enemy.
Instead, defending the city, two million to five million, more than enough.
The walls of Beimo City are not very high, but they are also five hundred feet high, which is more than 1,600 meters high. They surrounded the entire Beimo City, and there are a total of four city gates. If the Zhou army wants to conquer Beimo City, they have to attack through the four city gates, but it is not that easy to attack.
Heavy crossbows were laid inside the city gate, and archers and crossbowmen were also arranged on the city gate. They could shoot from high to low, and they could shoot far away. If the Zhou army wanted to attack the city, they would have to be shot by a bow and arrow, which would cost a lot of casualties.
It is very difficult to break through the city gate and enter.
Because the walls of each city are thirty meters thick, and there is a Yuanying True Lord who has set up a defensive magic array. It is very difficult to break the city wall under the Yuanying. Many golden elixirs must join forces and attack for a long time before they can break the wall.
But the enemy generals cannot all break the city wall. If they all break the city wall, the generals guarding the city can launch an attack and kill and injure them.
If you fly up the city wall and kill in, it is not impossible, it is impossible.
Because of such a high city wall, you can only fly up in the innate realm.
But the army is mainly based on the foundation building realm, with the innate realm only accounting for 23% and among the one million armies, there are only 20,000 to 30,000 in the innate realm. If they fly up to the city wall to attack, they will be shot and killed by the defending army.
Therefore, it is very difficult to attack the city. At least five times the strength of the defending army, you will have a chance of winning by siegeing the city, otherwise it will be difficult to attack.
Two million troops defend the city, and ten million troops attack the city. It takes about two days to capture it. If the city defender is well defended, it may not be able to capture it in three or four days.
This is also the reason why Su Longfei and others are not afraid of danger.
"Who is the enemy general? How dare you lead five million troops to attack the city?"
Su Longfei shouted.
A black-armored veteran general on the other side responded: "I am the King of the South of the Great Zhou Zhen. I am here to attack your Northern Expedition Army under the order of my Emperor of Great Zhou. If you, Su Longfei, knowing you, will lead your troops out of the city to surrender. I think you are also a powerful general. I will spare your life and bring you under my command to serve my Great Zhou."
"If you don't know the truth and insist on being enemies with our Great Zhou, the day when the city is broken will be when your Su Longfei dies."
Su Longfei snorted: "It is impossible to surrender, and it is impossible to surrender when you die. If you have the ability, you come and attack the city. If you don't have the ability, you will be in a cold place. I, Su Longfei and the soldiers, are extremely determined in the northern expedition. Sooner or later, I will recover the eighteen states of the northern border!"
"Is that true?"
The King of Zhennan smiled coldly and said, "It is said that there is a man named Chen Qiu in your northern expedition army. He is very brave and killed three generals of our Zhou army in a row."
"Do you dare to let him come out and fight with Sikong He, a powerful general under my king?"
