After the sun set, a fire was lit in Tang Kaijia's tent.
The aroma of barbecue spread from the tent to the surroundings, and several generals, including Qian Siyi, were around the fire.
"Currently, statistics show that more than 500 soldiers have been killed in the battle, and hundreds more have been injured. At least 200 of them are seriously injured, most of them burned by fire." Qian Siyi looked solemn and said slowly:
"Most of these wounded have also lost their combat capabilities."
Tang Kaijia had a gloomy face, holding a roasted leg of lamb in his left hand and a sharp butcher's knife in his right hand, slicing the leg of lamb and swallowing it.
"There were many casualties, but the most serious blow was the morale of the soldiers." A general said in a low voice with an ugly face: "No one expected Jiping to be so difficult to chew. General, nearly a thousand people were killed or injured in the battle.
The last time there were such heavy casualties was decades ago."
Tang Kaijia glanced at the man sideways, and the man immediately did not dare to say anything.
"Now that the city is under siege, it is indeed difficult for the defenders in the city to escape." Qian Siyi said: "However, they have been collecting food recently, and a large amount of food has been hoarded in the city. Long Rui's army occupied Jiping City, and the food has naturally fallen into their hands, so
Their food and grass are in good condition, and they will not be short of food as long as they keep guarding it." After a pause, he continued: "Our army's food and grass can only last for two days at most. If we reduce some rations, we can last one more day. The humble general just said
We have sent two groups of people to rush back to Shunjin day and night, and beg General Huangfu to send people to transport food immediately, but...!"
Tang Kaijia sneered: "Are you worried that Huangfu Yunzhao will delay delivering food?"
"It concerns the overall situation. General Huangfu will not deliberately make things difficult for us at this time." Qian Siyi hesitated and then said: "But I am worried about Gu Baiyi."
"Gu Baiyi?"
"Gu Baiyi is training troops in Songyang Grassland, with nearly ten thousand troops on hand." Qian Siyi said: "The news about our attack on Jiping will definitely be discovered by Gu Baiyi. The humble general is worried that Gu Baiyi will take the opportunity to send troops to attack Shunjin. If so,
, they will definitely cut off Shunjin’s communication with the outside world. Even if General Huangfu wants to send people to transport food, he probably won’t be able to do it.”
Tang Kaijia frowned and said, "Gu Baiyi has the courage?"
"Both Long Rui's troops and horses are surrounded by us." Qian Siyi said: "Qin Xiao is in Longba and Yuwen Chengchao is in Jiping City. It would be fine if we could defeat them quickly, but we have not killed them now. Gu
After Bai Yi gets the news, he will definitely not just watch it."
A general on the side said: "General Qian Lang is saying that Gu Baiyi will lead troops to attack Shunjin, surround Wei and rescue Zhao, and force us to return for reinforcements?"
"That's right." Qian Siyi said: "Qin Xiao is the soul of Long Rui's army. Without Qin Xiao, Long Rui's army is just a piece of loose sand. Gu Baiyi will definitely do whatever it takes to rescue Qin Xiao. Even if Gu Baiyi cannot capture Shunjin,
But as long as Shunjin City is trapped, the food route is cut off, and Shunjin’s food cannot be supplied to us, then the situation will naturally be very unfavorable to us."
Tang Kaijia was upset, threw away the roasted lamb leg in his hand, and frowned: "Qin Xiao retreated to Longba. As far as I know, Longba is just a higher earth dam. Dou Xiong has thousands of elites in his hands."
As long as the cavalry and two thousand undead troops attack with all their strength, it's time to take Qin Xiao's head." He raised his hand and stroked his thick beard and said, "take Qin Xiao's head and lead the troops to reinforce.
When Qin Xiao's head is revealed, Jiping City will be destroyed."
"The general's words make sense." Immediately, a general said: "We have two days of food and grass. Within two days, the city will definitely be broken. As long as we enter the city, all the food and grass in the city will be ours. In this way,
It is meaningless for Gu Baiyi to besiege Shunjin."
"That's right." Another general said: "It's okay if Gu Baiyi doesn't send troops. If he sends troops, when we capture Jiping, we can turn around immediately and cooperate with Shunjin's defenders, cooperate inside and outside, and annihilate Gu Baiyi in one battle. That's it.
Once we come here, we can completely remove the thorn in the bones of Long Ruijun."
After hearing this, Tang Kaijia's solemn expression relaxed, and he seemed to have confidence again, and ordered: "General Qian Lang, you can send people to Longba to investigate again. If Dou Xiong has already captured Longba, let him
Hurry up and bring troops to help."
Before Qian Siyi got up, he heard a voice coming from outside: "Report, General Dou sent someone to ask for an audience with General Tang!"
When Tang Kaijia heard this, he stood up immediately and said with a smile: "The good news is here. Dou Xiong is indeed our famous general in Liaodong!" He said loudly: "Come in!"
A soldier immediately came in from outside the tent, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully: "Young man, pay homage to General Tang!"
"It was General Dou who ordered you to come here to report your victory?" Tang Kaijia asked, "Where is General Dou now?"
The man raised his head and said blankly: "Report the victory?"
When Tang Kaijia saw this, he felt something was wrong and asked, "Have you laid down the dragon dam?"
"General Tang, General Dou sent a young man to ask for help." The man said: "Qin Xiao led his army to defend Longba, and Bu Liuda's undead army disobeyed and did not go out to fight. We stormed Longba and failed, suffering heavy casualties. General Dou asked
After General Tang takes Jiping City, he will send reinforcements as soon as possible."
Tang Kaijia, Qian Siyi and other generals all opened their mouths.
They stormed Jiping City but made no progress. For fear of more casualties, they could only withdraw and temporarily besiege the city, hoping that Dou Xiong would come for reinforcements.
Who knew that Dou Xiong would actually send someone to ask for help.
No one expected that the situation would develop like this.
"The Immortal Army won't go out to fight?" Tang Kaijia said angrily: "Why don't they fight? Are they looking for death if they resist orders on the battlefield?"
"Buliuda people want money." The man said, "If the money is not available, they will stand still. Qin Xiao set up several defenses on the dam. We attacked continuously, but we never defeated them. Hundreds of brothers were killed and injured. Dou
The general said that we are cavalry and are not good at attacking tough battles. Only General Tang’s troops have the strength to take down Longba, so he sent a small one to ask for help.”
Tang Kaijia's wishful thinking failed. He was so angry that he couldn't help but cursed: "Four thousand cavalry went to fight Qin Xiao's ragtag group, but they couldn't do anything to them. How did you fight? Qin Xiao's elite were all in Jiping City, and I had casualties here.
It's such a terrible situation, but you still come here to ask for help? Jiping City has not been captured, how can I reinforce you?"
His voice roared, and the cavalry messenger was too frightened to speak.
"Go back and tell him that I am helping him with the real elite of the Long Rui Army, and let him continue to fight and capture the Dragon Dam at all costs." Tang Kaijia continued to shout at the messenger: "Capture the Dragon Dam and take it.
Qin Xiao's head, hurry up and send it over. The general gave him the command of the undead army, but he can't command the undead army. Whose fault is it? The general of an army can't even command his soldiers. Isn't this a big joke?"
He stepped forward, kicked the messenger, and cursed, "Get out of here."
The messenger rolled out of the tent, and everyone else in the tent had solemn expressions and remained silent.
They originally hoped that Dou Xiong could bring Qin Xiao's head here so that Yuwen Chengchao could surrender without a fight. Now the war at Longba was equally unfavorable, and they even sent people to ask for help.
All generals know that the current situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable to the Liaodong Army.
If a quick victory can be achieved here, even if Gu Baiyi besieges Shunjin City, it will not have an impact on the overall situation.
However, if there is no progress in Jiping and Longba, once Gu Baiyi really besieges the city, its effect will be quickly apparent, and it will even have a fatal impact on the war here.
After a while of silence, Qian Siyi asked cautiously: "General Tang, let's... what should we do next?"
Tang Kaijia sat down, pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Send someone to continue to inquire about the fighting situation at Longba. Let's wait for a while and let the soldiers recharge their batteries. If Dou Xiong still can't defeat Longba before noon tomorrow
Dam, let's continue to attack the city." Suddenly he clenched his fists and said angrily: "Attack the city, attack the city, and capture Jiping at all costs."
The generals knew that Tang Kaijia must be in an extremely depressed mood, so they refused to stay in the tent and retreated.
Tang Kaijia waited for everyone to retreat, picked up the wine bag, raised his head and drank it.
Of course he also knew that the current situation was serious. If Dou Xiong could not capture Longba tomorrow, the Liaodong Army would be in a precarious situation. If this was the case, the only way would be to capture Jiping at all costs. No matter how heavy the casualties were,
Can't care less.
He was extremely depressed, drinking alcohol was like drinking water to drown his sorrows.
After several bags of wine, he was already drunk and unconscious.
I don't know how long it took, but he heard the shouts of killing in a daze. As a warrior, the shrill screams and the deafening shouts of killing still made him wake up like a conditioned reflex. He sat up suddenly and smoothly
He went over and grabbed his own saber.
At this moment, the earth shook, and the sound of "rumbling" was like thunder.
He immediately realized that something was wrong, rushed out of the tent, and saw people running around in the camp. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes. Only then did he see that the camp was in chaos, with countless figures like headless flies.
They were running around, and there were many cavalry in front of them. Under the moonlight, they were slashing and killing indiscriminately.
"General, run quickly...!"
Several horses came galloping over, and the one in front was none other than Qian Siyi.
Qian Siyi didn't even put on his helmet. He was so embarrassed that he rode his horse to the edge of Detang Kaijia and shouted: "Hurry up, the enemy is attacking the camp!"
"Attack the camp?" Tang Kaijia was shocked, "The enemy's reinforcements have arrived? Where did they...where did they get the reinforcements?"
"Yuwen Chengchao!" Qian Siyi's voice was full of panic. "The defenders in the city rushed out. They... they rushed straight towards the big tent...!" Before he finished speaking, a voice came out.
A cold arrow suddenly shot over and penetrated the side of Qian Siyi's neck, instantly piercing Qian Siyi's neck.
Tang Kaijia watched Qian Siyi's body fall off the horse. In horror, he looked up and saw a group of cavalry not far away rushing towards him like cheetahs.
, as long as there were soldiers blocking the way, the cavalry would kill them mercilessly with their swords.
Tang Kaijia didn't have time to think much. In panic, he rushed forward, climbed on Qian Siyi's horse, and shouted to several Liaodong cavalry: "Go quickly, go and stop them!" With a shake of the horse's reins,
