The First Tyrant of Daxia

Chapter 2460: The Attack Begins

Of course, Tagrofi would not let Qin Yun leave like this, so he immediately led an army to chase and kill Qin Yun.

However, Qin Yun led the team away quickly. As the speed difference between the two sides was not much, Qin Yun, who set out first, was naturally not someone that Tagrofi could catch up with.

Qin Yun hurried all the way and led his army directly back to the main city of Noki.

Tagrofei and his army stayed far away from the city gate, not daring to get any closer. They could only grit their teeth and look towards the city.

If he continued to get closer, he would fall into the shooting range of Qin Yun's archers, which would be courting death.

"Qin Yun, I won't let you go just like that!"

Tagrofi was extremely angry, but Qin Yun had already escaped into the city, and there was nothing he could do to Qin Yun. In the end, he had to turn around and leave with his army.

On the city wall, Qin Yun watched Tagrofi and his army leave with a slight smile.

The night attack plan was very successful.

When Qin Yun set out again, he changed his mind temporarily.

Originally, he planned to rush into the enemy camp with Mu Le, set fire to all their granaries, and then leave quickly.

After all, no matter where you are, as long as you are marching and fighting, food and fodder are the most important things. Without food, human beings cannot even continue on their journey, let alone fighting.

So granaries are extremely important.

Qin Yun could never be a match for Tagrofi in terms of numbers, but after burning Tagrofi's food supplies, a balance could be achieved between the two sides.

As long as Qin Yun could hold on in the city until Tagrofi ran out of food, then even if he did not send out troops to attack the enemy, the enemy would retreat on their own. The siege crisis would be resolved without a fight.

No matter how crazy Tagrofi was, he couldn't command a group of hungry soldiers to fight. This is the survival instinct of human beings.

Therefore, Mule was able to burn Tagrofi's food supplies, which was a huge success of tonight's night attack.

But the news that Mu Le told Qin Yun next made Qin Yun feel mixed emotions.

The good news is that Mu Le did lead his army to burn Tagrofi's food supplies.

With Qin Yun, the Emperor of Daxia, acting as bait to lure Tagrofi and Okita Taro, it was not too difficult for Mu Le to burn Tagrofi's food supplies.

But the worrying thing is that Tagrofi seemed to know in advance that Qin Yun would come to burn his food and grass. He not only moved his food and grass to another place, but also stored them in batches in different locations.

Mu Le only had time to burn half of the food and grass, and the other half remained.

"The enemy is indeed as cunning as a wolf."

After listening to Mu Le's report, Qin Yun suddenly felt that the situation was a bit tricky.

He originally thought that he could burn all of Tagrofi's food and grass in one go, so that Tagrofi's army could only hold out for five days at most.

If he cannot capture the city within five days, he must withdraw his troops. Otherwise, with a group of hungry soldiers, it would be a blessing if there is no civil strife, let alone fighting.

But now it seems that Tagrofi had anticipated their night attack and hid all the food and supplies separately.

Mu Le spent so much effort, but in the end he only burned half of Tagrofi's food.

Mu Le said worriedly: "I estimate that the food and grass I burned is only about half of theirs. Even if half of the food and grass is left, it is estimated that it will be enough for them to eat for half a month."

Qin Yun nodded.

Although only half of the enemy's food supplies were burned, the result was generally acceptable.

Tagrofei now only has half a month's worth of food and supplies, and his subsequent sieges will become more and more fierce.

Because if he cannot capture the main city of Noki within half a month, they will have no choice but to retreat due to lack of food.

Qin Yun said helplessly: "Half is half. Burning half of the food and grass can at least reduce half of our pressure. Next, we only need to hold on for half a month, and Tagrofi will retreat on his own."

Mu Le nodded. He knew that what Qin Yun said was right. The other party came in a hurry, and the food and grass they brought were enough to support 300,000 people for a month, which was already amazing.

But Mu Le didn't believe it if they continued to transport food here.

Not to mention how to transport food and fodder for 300,000 people, the long journey alone is difficult to travel.

Moreover, Tagrofi came this time with the determination to capture the city and had no intention of asking for so much food and grass. In his opinion, if 300,000 people could not take the city in a month, they could only be described as waste.

Qin Yun said, "A Le, get some rest as soon as possible after you go back. It will be a tough battle after dawn, and you won't get any good sleep in the days that follow."

Mu Le nodded: "Your Majesty, go back and rest. I will make good defenses in the city."

Qin Yun nodded slightly and rode away on his warhorse. He was very relieved to leave this to Mu Le.

As for the injured Han Xuan, Qin Yun sent him to the military doctor for treatment.

The next day, just after dawn, Tagrofi's attack began.

Most of the food supplies were burned by Qin Yun at night, and he left in a swagger without losing any soldiers or generals. For Tagrofi, it was a shame.

So as soon as the sun rose, Tagrofi couldn't wait to launch a fierce attack.

Qin Yun slept in his clothes last night. When he heard the sound of fighting, he put on his armor and rushed to the battlefield.

At the city gate, Tagrofei ordered a large number of troops to launch continuous attacks. Each wave of attacks was more fierce than the last, making the defenders on the city wall suffer terribly.

Qin Yun hurried up to the city wall, "A Le, what's the situation now?"

As he was speaking, an arrow flew over his head.

Qin Yun quickly lowered his body.

Mu Le said urgently, "Your Majesty, Tagrofi has indeed launched a more fierce attack. Various offensives are coming one after another, and the pressure on the defenders on the city wall is increasing."

"It seems that the other party doesn't want to drag it on with us any longer."

Qin Yun narrowed his eyes. On the city wall, behind the enemy, Tagrofi and Okita Taro were looking at Qin Yun with disdain.

Okita Taro said: "Sir Tagrofi, continue to attack fiercely, don't give Qin Yun and the others any more chances, and make a quick decision!"

Tagrofi nodded: "Yesterday I was just testing Qin Yun's flexibility, but now it seems that he is just that good and has resorted to such a cheap move as night raid and burning food and grass. It seems that he has no confidence."

"Yes." Okita Taro smiled, "The latest news is that Qin Yun has let all the defenders in the city go. There were originally more than 50,000 people, but only less than 4,000 are left!"
