"The minister leads the order!"

Cui Hao, Kou Qianzhi and others were quite surprised by the emperor's order. Didn't they agree last night that Zhu Xiuzhi's Yunzhong Army would be in charge of attacking the city?Why did you change your mind?

Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan and other generals also felt very strange. It stands to reason that infantry should be the most suitable for attacking the city, and Zhu Xiuzhi's troops are almost all infantry. Instead of Zhu Xiuzhi's men, use the troops of several other armies. What do you think?

After the military discussion was over, Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan walked out of the palace, and they walked towards the camp in the direction of the south city wall.

"Brother Junsheng, why didn't the emperor let Zhu Xiuzhi's troops attack the city, but let the Wangshi Army, Zongzi Army and Yulin Army attack the city?" Hua Mulan asked.

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and said: "I'm just guessing, and I don't know if it's accurate. I guess the emperor probably has two considerations. First, he just killed Xu Zhuo and more than 1000 Yun Zhongjun. Xiuzhi must appease them, and it is unreasonable to let them attack the city; secondly, the emperor may have concerns, worrying that Zhu Xiuzhi's people will surrender to the enemy during the attack, and keeping them by his side can prevent this from happening; as for the emperor, does he think so? , I will know in a few days!"

Hua Mulan asked, "How?"

Zhao Junsheng explained: "If the emperor did not allow Zhu Xiuzhi's Yunzhong Army to participate in the siege until the end of the battle, it means that my guess is correct. If the siege does not go well in a few days, the emperor will let Zhu Xiuzhi If more people go to attack the city, it means that my guess is wrong!"

On the first day of the siege, Lai Daqian, who was in his forties, commanded the Wangshi Army, Zongzi Army, and Habayashi Army to attack the city in turn, but the effect was not great, and the loss of troops was great. More than [-] people were killed or injured on the first day.

The Yan army defended impeccably, with only more than [-] casualties, and destroyed and burned many of the Wei army's siege equipment.

On the second day of the siege, the siege continued. The Wei army was not afraid of death. Under the command of Lai Daqian, they attacked Longcheng like a tide. A large number of newly made ladders were used. The defense equipment repelled the Wei army's attacks again and again.

Chapter 533 Rebel!

After three days in a row, Lai Daqian couldn't bear his violent temper. In the three days of siege, a total of more than [-] people were killed or injured. Conducted. ---- Fast update, no anti-theft ---

Emperor Tuoba Jian saw that the casualties were so heavy and the generals failed to attack the city wall, which made him very angry. He immediately ordered the whole army to launch a siege on Dragon City from all directions. The rotation is carried out round by round, so as not to give Yan Jun a chance to breathe.

The Yan army is in charge of defending the city. General Zhendong, Shang Shuling, and Yingchuan Gong Guosheng are currently the only ones who have the qualifications to be in charge of the defense of the entire city.

The veteran is worthy of being a veteran. His arrangement and deployment of troops defended the four walls so that no fly could fly in.

After attacking for two consecutive days, the Wei army lost another 500 people, and Tuoba Jian couldn't hold on anymore. According to this kind of casualties, the tens of thousands of horses would be wiped out in a short time.

It just so happened that Tuoba Qiu and Tuoba Qi returned to the camp with the soldiers and horses that attacked Qiang Hugu, and Tuoba Jian's available troops for attacking the city doubled.

Tuoba Jian didn't want the war to be protracted, it would consume national strength, he wanted a quick battle, but a quick battle would definitely cost a lot of troops, but Tuoba Jian didn't care about that, he wanted to break through Dragon City before October when the weather turned cold , Occupy the entire territory of Beiyan, end the war, and then return to the dynasty.

Therefore, he summoned his ministers and generals to discuss and decide to use all his forces to besiege Longcheng from all sides, nonstop day and night, and strive to break through the city within three days.

This kind of siege is very powerful, and the siege soldiers are constantly rotating in waves. If the Yan army on the top of the city is not given a chance to breathe, they can only live and die, because the handover of city defense requires a process. Once the soldiers who change defense cannot be in place in time or are not familiar with the rhythm of the Wei army's siege, they are likely to be attacked by the Wei army on the city wall.

After two days of this tragic siege, the corpses piled up under the city wall, and the four walls of Dragon City had long been stained reddish-brown by blood.

That afternoon, Tuoba Jian only left more than 4000 people from the Huben Army, 3000 people from the Yunzhong Army, and [-] people from the Baggage Battalion around the palace. All other soldiers and horses were sent by him to attack the city. Hua Mulan's right-wing army was also attacking the southern city wall.

Feeling embarrassed, Zhu Xiuzhi proposed to Emperor Tuobajian to send [-] infantry from the Yunzhong Army to participate in the siege, leaving only [-] cavalry.

Tuoba Jian thought about it, agreed, but also sent two thousand tiger and cardinal troops to attack the city together.

That night, Zhu Xiuzhi quietly came to Mao Xiuzhi's camp while it was dark, and the two talked secretly for a while in the tooth tent, but they broke up in the end.

An hour after Zhu Xiuzhi left Mao Xiuzhi's camp, Guo Yi found Zhao Junsheng who was directing the night siege. ---- Fast update, no anti-theft ---

"General, my subordinates have secret reports to report individually, the matter is of great importance!"

Hearing this, Zhao Junsheng waved to the generals behind him, and the generals all backed away.

"After all, there is no one else here, what's the matter?"

Guo Yi stepped forward and whispered a few words in Zhao Junsheng's ear, Zhao Junsheng's expression changed drastically.

After a full cup of tea, Zhao Junsheng accepted the authenticity of the news and asked, "How many people still know at this time?"

"Only the insiders and subordinates around Mao Xiuzhi!"

Zhao Junsheng ordered in a deep voice: "Don't let anyone else know, not even Mulan! You go down first, keep watching, and report as soon as you have news!"

"Yes, General!"

Zhao Junsheng thought about it for a while, "Come on, get Mao Xiuzhi!"

The siege continued, and this was the last step in Tuoba Jian's storm plan.

The next day, if the city cannot be broken today, Tuoba Jian plans to change the way of attacking the city or change the commanding general.

Mao Xiuzhi frowned in the tooth tent in the camp of the heavy army camp, walking back and forth in the tooth tent with a restless expression.

This is a personal soldier who walked in and clasped his fists to report: "Master, Zhao Shijun sent someone to invite you to come over!"

"Oh? What is Zhao Shijun asking me to do?"

"The villain doesn't know."

Mao Xiuzhi thought for a while, and ordered to the soldiers: "Send an order to all the captains. When the government is not in the camp, without the order from the government, no matter what happens, you are not allowed to act rashly!"

"As ordered!"

Mao Xiuzhi followed the messenger to the rear of the siege battlefield outside the southern city wall of Longcheng. Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan were riding horses watching the soldiers roaring and climbing under the city wall and on the siege ladder.

Mao Xiuzhi immediately went forward and cupped his hands: "The lower official pays homage to the envoy, but what is the envoy's order for the envoy?"

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "I don't have any instructions. I just want you to come over to hear your opinions and opinions on siege. I know you have rich experience in this field before. Don't hide your secrets!"

When Mao Xiu heard it, he seemed to let go of a very important matter in his heart, he was greatly relieved, and he quickly agreed: "Your official must know everything and say everything!"

······

Cloud camp.

In the open space of the camp, the remaining 1000 men and horses were assembled, and all of these 1000 men were cavalry, which was Zhu Xiuzhi's last trump card.

Everyone held torches in their left hands, and a few stood quietly beside the horses holding weapons.

Zhu Xiuzhi's face was serious, with a cold light in his eyes. At this time, several fast horses galloped towards him. The leader was Xing Huaiming, Zhu Xiuzhi's lieutenant general, followed by several soldiers. Didn't he bring three thousand infantry to attack the city? ?Why did you run back privately?

Xing Huaiming rode his horse and galloped to Zhu Xiuzhi's side, cupping his fists in salute: "General, the future is too late!"

Zhu Xiuzhi nodded and asked, "How is the situation?"

Xing Huaiming clasped his fists and said, "We have already connected, but the route has changed a little!" After speaking, he stepped forward and whispered something in Zhu Xiuzhi's ear.

Zhu Xiuzhi nodded after listening: "It's possible, then Zhao Junsheng owes me a favor, he should not embarrass the general!"

Xing Huaiming was worried, and said: "General, the favor he owes you has been repaid in front of the emperor a few days ago to cover it up for you. If you try to ask him for favors again, I'm afraid it won't work!"

Zhu Xiuzhi waved his hands and said with a smile: "I still have a hole card, he won't embarrass me! You go to lead the troops, you must control the soldiers and horses, and act after hearing the signal, not sooner or later!"

"Understood! General, this matter is too dangerous. Once you fail... you must take care!"
