"Let Shuqian Ping retreat, Cheng Xiangxi goes up!" Seeing that Zhu Qianping's losses were too great, Haotian was also a little sad, and quickly called Cheng Xiangxi from the reserve team. This was already the second day of the siege, and Situ Lie was mainly responsible for the first day.
The Canglang Army was holding on, but today Haotian replaced it with his own Tiger Army. However, after all, Zuo Qianping only had 10,000 troops in his hands. Although he caused huge losses to the opponent, his own losses were not light either.
Among the Huben Army, there are only two infantry armies, and their leaders are Zhuo Qianping and Cheng Xiangxi. They are the most experienced soldiers in the Hetao Army and belong to Haotian's veteran base. However, Cheng Xiangxi did not participate in the battle south.
Instead, he stayed in Hetao to train new recruits, and served at Xuanyuan Military Academy from time to time. This is a young man who looks gentle and elegant. He has just turned twenty-eight and exudes an aura similar to respect. However,
, but his character is exactly the same as Xinke, straightforward, fiery, fierce, bloodthirsty, and hot-blooded and heroic. Of course, being fierce, murderous, and hot-blooded and heroic are almost the common denominators of the senior military officials in Hetao.
As soon as he received Haotian's order, Cheng Xiangxi pulled out his sword without saying a word. He walked slowly to the front of the army's formation, his left hand involuntarily dodged the military flag from the flag officer's hand, and huffed and puffed.
He waved one hand a few times and said loudly: "Brothers, it takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it takes only a moment. Many of you have asked me this before, asking why we stay behind and why we don't fight in the bloody battlefield! I always answer
You will have opportunities, but you have to seize them yourself! Today, your opportunity has come!"
After a pause, looking at the silent team, Cheng Xiangxi shouted loudly: "The Lord has given us the task of siegeing the city! We only have ten thousand soldiers, and the enemy forces in the city are several times our number. However, this general has nothing to do."
Afraid! Are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid!" Ten thousand soldiers roared in unison.
"Okay! Let the Mandan barbarians see the bravery of our Hetao army today! This general will personally hold the military flag and fight with you to the end! Wherever the military flag reaches, there will be no retreat! Anyone who retreats without permission will be shot! If this general dies in battle,
, the deputy commander takes over! The deputy commander dies in battle, and the chief of staff takes over! The chief of staff dies in battle, and the ten guards commanders take over one after another! As long as there is one person left in our army, the general's flag must be planted on Miyun City!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The passion in the hearts of the ten thousand soldiers was completely aroused by Cheng Xiangxi's words, and they all shouted loudly with their red eyes almost staring.
"Okay! Beat the drum and let's go!" Cheng Xiangxi waved his military flag and rushed out first.
Haotian pinched a few short whiskers on his chin and said with appreciation: "The commander-in-chief made a good choice by throwing this kid into Xuanyuan Military Academy. Haha, this eloquence is quite good, Qian Ping, you have to learn it.
Stay focused."
Zhuo Qianping said unconvinced: "My lord, it's not like you don't know that this bastard is the best at talking. With just one opening of his mouth, he can blow from Xiao Taohong, the prostitute of Piaoxiang Pavilion, to Emperor Shenzong's penis in one breath.
Sleeve hobby. In war, you still have to rely on strength in the end."
Luo Xiang said with a smile: "General Qiu, I think General Cheng will definitely be able to take down the city wall in this battle and create a stable wall position for our army."
Zhuo Qianping did not dare to be as casual with Luo Xiang as he was with Haotian, but he still opened his mouth and said: "Sir, even if he can take it down, it will be the foundation that our army laid for him in the first place."
Xuanji was too lazy to pay attention to Zhuo Qianping's words, and just said to Xue Qingcheng behind him: "Mother Qingcheng, you can now lead your cavalry to attack, shoot the opponent's defensive soldiers under the city wall, and cover General Cheng's attack on the city. Commander of the Situ Army
, you lead the engineering troops of your legion, mobilize all medium and long-range attack weapons, and suppress the enemy forces on the city wall. Among the large army, you are the most accomplished in medium- and long-range weapons such as trebuchets and crossbows."
Xue Qingcheng and Situ Lie took the order and left.
Xuanji continued to order: "Commander Blood, you lead your own infantry and the 40,000 infantrymen of the Canglang Army to prepare for the response. General Cheng's troops can only open up a stronghold on the city wall, but they cannot go deeper. The commander is not here, this attack
The battle in the city depends on you, the bloody commander."
Xue Sha said proudly: "Strategist, you should have let me take action long ago. If you had let me take full responsibility from the beginning, maybe you would be drinking tea in the city now."
Xuanji did not answer, but Haotian smiled and said: "Commander Blood, we are also training troops this time. If you are asked to go out from the beginning, the meaning of training will be lost. Besides, you have to give these juniors a
Give it a chance to exercise, otherwise some people will always think that God is the boss and they are the second child, sitting in a well and watching the sky without making any progress. The swing is flat, don’t you think so?"
Zhuo Qianping seemed oblivious to Haotian's sarcasm, and said quickly: "What the lord said is absolutely true." Then he pointed at Haotian's personal soldier commander Zhao Dawu with one hand and shouted loudly: "Zhao Dawu, did you hear what the lord said? The lord is
I’m talking about you! You should be careful in the future and don’t always worry my lord! Don’t always think that you can open a dyeing shop with just a few colors. Let me tell you, compared with Xue Shuai and the others, you are still young!"
Zhao Dawu was furious and hit Zhu Qian Ping with two hammers. Zhu Qian Ping did not dodge, but just laughed. Haotian was completely speechless. He remembered that Zhu Qian Ping was not like this before. How come over time, his subordinates
In addition to being respectful, the generals have become cunning and shameless?
Qiu Mu said next to him: "The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. It is true." Haotian was completely speechless.
Under the leadership of Cheng Xiangxi, the Hetao soldiers finally opened up a stable wall position on the city wall.
To be more precise, Miyun City is a fortress. Due to the terrain, it is connected to the Duanhun Ridge to the north and the Great Wall Mountains to the south. It only has two walls on the east and west sides, but the walls are several miles wide. This place has been the Northeastern Three Kingdoms and the prairie since ancient times.
The traffic artery is also the main battlefield of Tieying and Mandan. However, since Yelv Canghai took charge and reconciled with Tieying, the garrison here has gradually decreased. Although Yumenguan in Hetao is to the southwest, considering that Tieying is nearby
However, the Hetao army at Yumen Pass has limited strength and cannot threaten the security of Miyun City. Therefore, the garrison here has always been around 30,000.
Later, hundreds of thousands of troops from the Hetao gathered in Shazhou. Yelv Canghai temporarily sent 20,000 additional troops to Xiao Shicheng. However, the main army was stationed in Mifeng City and Taihang Road to prevent the Hetao from unexpectedly breaking into Youyun Sixteen Prefectures and disintegrating its own army.
Defensive front. From the Battle of Hukou to the withdrawal of troops from Xuzhou of the Three Northeastern Kingdoms, about 300,000 elite soldiers from Mandan have died on the battlefield. Although Mandan has supplemented its total force to 700,000, the number of new soldiers and those who have fought in hundreds of battles has been reduced.
The gap between the divisions was extremely huge. Facing the nearly 500,000 troops in the sandbank of the Hetao, even Yelu Chixian of Taihang Road, a veteran of the battlefield, still shuddered. Yelu Canghai had to order Yelu Minghui to lead 100,000 troops.
Soldiers were stationed in the south of Miyun City, and more than 100,000 Yelvwanxi soldiers were stationed along the Great Wall Mountains, ready to cross the Great Wall and enter the Taihang Road. However, no one expected that Haotian would go north from Yumen Pass to raid Mifeng City, and immediately attacked Man
Dan was caught off guard.
The city's defenders were limited, Yelv Minghui's reinforcements had not yet arrived, and the city wall was already in danger. With no choice but to do so, Xiao Shicheng had to make the painful decision to withdraw his troops. However, Xiao Shicheng was a battlefield veteran who had followed Yelu Chixian for more than twenty years.
A pariah who was born as a slave can actually become a general guarding one side. Although it is related to Yelu Chixian's great help, his own talent is also undoubted. He cannot defend it. If he persists, then I am afraid that this will happen.
All fifty thousand soldiers will also be dumped here.
Gathering the nearly 30,000 soldiers he could muster, Xiao Shicheng ordered the people in the city to retreat to the east while organizing strong men to demolish the east wall of Miyun City. After all, Xiao Shicheng was the leading general in Mandan, both in terms of his ability to strategize and his ability to strategize.
The strategic vision of the Mandan military was outstanding. He knew very well what kind of dilemma the Mandan would face after the fall of Mifeng City.
This time is different from when Feng Jing killed Yeluchi here that day. At that time, the main army in Hetao was still south of the river, and the Paradise Alliance was overwhelming the Qingfeng with strong troops and horses. But now, the army in Hetao has fully shrunk, and with the Hetao
With their appetite and strength, they will definitely not retreat after taking Miyun City this time. If an elite cavalry is deployed here, then Mandan will have to station at least 150,000 soldiers around Miyun to contain its attack. Of course.
, Blind defense is only inferior, attack is the kingly way. Although he retreated this time, Mandan did not have no chance to attack. Therefore, Xiao Shicheng simply demolished the east wall of Mifeng City and all the defensive facilities.
This can somewhat reduce the pressure on future counterattacks.
Originally, Xiao Shicheng wanted to leave some details in the city so that he could cooperate with the inside and outside during the counterattack. But when he thought of the involuntary massacre after Fengjing captured Mifeng City last time, Xiao Shicheng shuddered. He originally thought that the massacre of the city would be such a cruel thing.
Only the Three Northeastern Kingdoms and the Eastern Japanese Dynasty could do it, but Hetao's performance was not inferior to his own. Not to mention meticulous work, if the common people ran a little slower, they might not be able to escape death.
However, he retreated without orders. Even if Yelu Chixian protected him, he might not be able to escape this time. Thinking of this, Xiao Shicheng couldn't help but sigh. He was finally promoted from a partial general to a senior official. As a result,
Before my butt was warm, I was driven off by the Loop. I don’t know what the consequences will be this time. Most likely, I will continue to be my general.
With Xiao Shicheng's retreat, Miyun City undoubtedly fell into the hands of the Hetao army. As soon as the city gate opened, the Snow Lion Army, which had already been unable to hold back, rushed in without hesitation under the leadership of Xue Qingcheng.
Then he passed through the messy city and fought his way out from the east gate. Xiao Shicheng was not a saint. As soon as he saw the Hetao cavalry chasing him, he immediately slapped his butt and ran away. As for the people fleeing on the road, just wish yourself good luck.
Uncle Xiao Shicheng had no intention of sharing life and death with them.
The Snow Lion Legion was naturally upset that they had not caught up with Xiao Shicheng's team. Together with the 30,000 cavalrymen of the Blood Killing Legion who came behind them, they simply swept away the entire Mandan territory within a hundred miles with Miyun City as the center.
.It was not until Yelu Minghui led 100,000 soldiers and Xiao Shicheng's remnant army slowly approached that the Hetao cavalry retreated into Miyun City.
At that time, the Hetao cavalry was only focused on killing people and setting fires, and had no time to estimate how many people they had killed. However, according to a later announcement from the Mandan Kingdom, at least 150,000 Mandan people died tragically in Hetao, including more than 100,000 people in Miyun City.
Under the butcher's knife. However, Xuanji disagrees with this data. In order to save his face, Mandan will inevitably reduce some data. Xuanji conservatively estimated that the number of people is at least 200,000.
However, after hearing Xuanji's words, Luo Xiang just said calmly, there is nothing to calculate. Mandan is destined to be exterminated. We only need to remember that the total number of people in Mandan is about 16 million. Well.
, the capital has more than 12 million, and Haixi seems to be less than 10 million, which is just the same as the 40 million people of Youyun Sixteen Prefectures. Killing them all can be regarded as giving to the people of Youyun Sixteen Prefectures.
Revenge was taken.
Xue Sha and other generals suddenly laughed obscenely. Just as Chen Han was about to speak, he was given a sharp look by Xuanji, and then he shut his mouth knowingly.
"Commander Blood, and Qingcheng, why do your two subordinates only know how to kill people? There is no need to think about it. Xiao Shicheng has completely demolished the east wall of Miyun City. We will still need them to resist Mandan in the future.
To fight back, we don’t know how to capture some strong men, so we can’t let our own soldiers work as coolies, right?” Haotian said with great dissatisfaction after making a tour.
Xue Qingcheng ignored Haotian at all and turned her head to the side. As Haotian's wife, she still has some privileges sometimes. At least in this case, she can ignore Haotian's complaints at all, and Haotian must also
Will not be angry.
Xue Sha laughed and said: "My lord, aren't there still more than 30,000 Hulu in the city who haven't had time to escape? Although the number is a little smaller, let's make do with it. They will be killed sooner or later, so it is better to wait until they repair the city wall.
Killing."
"That's all." Haotian said helplessly, and sat down in the original seat of Xiao Shicheng, the guardian of Miyun City. After gesturing for everyone to sit down, Haotian then continued: "Miyun City has been captured.
, this will be the beginning of the nightmare of the Three Northeastern Countries, so we must make this place a nail. Well, do you have any good suggestions?"
"This is originally a military fortress. We only need to garrison troops here. As for daily military supplies, they can be sent from Yumen Pass. I believe that Miyun City and Yumen Pass have different priorities. Yumen Pass is an important border defense area in the northern part of the Hetao, and we
In preparation for the Eastern Expedition to the Sixteenth Youyun Province, the main focus here is defense. Under appropriate circumstances, attack can be used instead of defense. The purpose of capturing Miyun City was to reduce the pressure during the Eastern Expedition to the Sixteenth Youyun Province. Therefore.
, what needs to be deployed here is a strong cavalry!" Luo Xiang said after thinking for a while.
