The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1822 Abandoned City ([-])

"How many people are there in this small city in front, exactly how many people have fighting power, how did it become like this, how many people have we lost this day? It's just how many people we lost in the siege. They haven’t even reached the city wall, and this king always feels that there is something wrong with it, so is the information Zhao Pu sent us accurate or not?”

Yeluhaowu is very confused now, Xiao Tianzuo keeps saying that he has obtained accurate information, there are many soldiers in the city, not many with combat effectiveness, the plague is no joke, but after this day's siege, Yeluhaowu will not be able to lose There is no doubt that something went wrong.

"My lord, it's true. I won't rely solely on Zhao Pu. The insiders in our city have also received news that they have indeed caught the plague. The entire camp of the Song Army in the north has been surrounded by the plague. It may be that those who came nearby to support Don't worry, my lord, the Song army can't come here to support without seven or eight days. As long as we take this opportunity to swallow up this enemy, then the blow to Da Song will be huge. In the north they It is impossible to build another northern camp in the short term, and then we will be able to occupy the north.",

Xiao Tianzuo used to think of helping the emperor occupy the entire Song Dynasty, but now he has the next best thing to do, which is to occupy the entire north, which is also bordered by the Khitan, and there are many territories in the north. It would be nice to be the territory of the Khitan. In the future, I will have the opportunity to slowly oppose Song Guo.

"But now we have lost a lot of brothers. Those are my Khitan warriors, and the Song Army has such powerful weapons. The artillery sent by them has brought some troubles to the Song Army. But after all, the artillery fire is limited. There is no way to take them, we still attack the city like this, don’t know how many of us will be wiped out?”

"My lord, once you succeed, you will die. These people are my Khitan warriors. Their deaths are all for the eternal foundation of my Daliao. These people have sacrificed for my Daliao. Naturally, the court will pay for it." , Your lord must remember that we have already sacrificed so many people, if we quit halfway at this time, then everything we have done will be in vain."

Talking about eloquence, Yelu is good at martial arts, how can he be Xiao Tianzuo's opponent, Xiao Tianzuo stopped refuting after a few words, so many people have died now, if they give up at this time, those people will die in vain, let alone the war There are undead.

And the Song army was not without losses, and they lost no less than their own. Now it is necessary to see who of the two can hold on, and only by persisting to the end can they win. , to express anger for the events of the year.

What happened back then mainly refers to the fact that Ye Luxian ventured to the Central Plains and was finally captured alive. He took the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun as a ransom to let Ye Luxian return to Shangjing. The root of the disease, but the resentment in my heart is hard to calm down. Now my body is getting worse day by day. Yelu Haowu respects the emperor's cousin the most, so he will definitely follow the emperor's orders. Even if he is not the emperor, what he said It is also a golden word for Yelu Haowu.

"We only need to besiege here for a few days, and the Song army in this city will be destroyed without attacking. The prince does not have to worry about their reinforcements, because now their strength is not enough, and Tubo is about to move. They have to guard against Tubo and go to Fusang The hundreds of thousands of troops have not returned yet, and the northern camp has reached its limit. It is impossible for them to draw out troops, so we should rest assured. Today is just to test it out. Today I saw them see us If they are defeated and dare not go out of the city to pursue them, it means that they are not manned enough."

Xiao Tianzuo said confidently that he did observe it today, and Song Jun's behavior was a bit strange. This strange behavior made Xiao Tianzuo very happy. Will take advantage of the victory to pursue, even if it's just for show, and now they don't even have to show it. Doesn't this show from one aspect that they are almost at the end of their rope?
"Okay, this king is a rough man, these people will be handed over to Mr. Xiao, our morale is relatively low now, this king will go down to comfort the soldiers, and Mr. Xiao can figure out other things."

Yelu, who was good at martial arts, also became ruthless. Anyway, so many people have died, so there is nothing wrong with killing a few more people. This is also for the sake of the overall situation, and he is relieved when he thinks of this.

On the other hand, Zhao Xu was also very anxious: "How about it, how many people have been born now, we have persisted for a day, and my plan has already begun to be implemented."

"There are about 6 to [-] people in a hurry today. On the one hand, it is really difficult to retreat all of them, and on the other hand, to prevent the Khitan people from finding out, so our progress is still a bit slow. There is no way, and there are many The soldier's body is not recovering at all, which is a bit slow."

Gao Huaide is also very busy. He is like the Minister of Logistics, responsible for the retreat of the Song army. Things are too messy, and at the same time, he must keep secret.

"Okay, the first day should be like this. Within three days, they must all evacuate, and all of them must arrive at the designated place as I said. This is our chance, a chance to turn things around in one fell swoop."

Gao Huaide knew about Zhao Xu's plan, and this plan was indeed a good one. If it succeeded, the Song Army would definitely be ashamed. Still have a chance to win.

As for the fact that these soldiers got the plague and were basically cured, it should be kept secret, and there is some reason for doing so. After all, the barracks was really lifeless in the previous period. No one will deny this. After all, the plague appeared , Most of them are infected with the plague, so the mood of failure is very low, which is also normal.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will be able to transport all these soldiers out of the city when it gets dark tomorrow, and no one will notice anything."

Gao Huaide didn't even have this bit of courage, so he would have been a general for so many years in vain. These are trivial things, so he is very casual.

Zhao Xu didn't say anything either. He still knew the ability of this father-in-law, but he was still a little worried about whether they could leave and at the same time arrive at the designated place as planned.
