Chapter 11
Gu Yanqi opened his mouth as soon as he sat down.
"Your Highness, tomorrow's battle is bound to be extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, your previous efforts may be in vain."
Mu Jing had already obeyed his advice and asked immediately.
"How can you see it."
"Da Shanyu Geser is not a dull person. He must know that reinforcements will arrive at Shenluguan tomorrow. In order to capture Yuecheng before the reinforcements, there must be changes in the barbarian camp tonight."
The generals were puzzled and asked, "Why did you change?"
"The walls of Yuecheng are covered with solid ice, and the barbarians have to put in ten times the strength to hope to climb the walls, and this will bring more casualties." Gu Yanxi explained, "Although the barbarians clearly They are all under the command of Geser, but in fact, more than half of the 20 troops are young and middle-aged men from various tribes."
"Gesell must ensure that his tribe's strength is always superior to other tribes, so whether it is in Shenluguan or Yuecheng, the death rate of young and middle-aged men in his tribe has always been very low."
When it comes to war, Gu Yanqi's black eyes seem to be burning with raging flames, and even his thin body looks extraordinarily tall.
In fact, Gu Yanqi's ability to judge the situation is indeed not weak.
In Gu Yanqi's words, many generals in the hall who were twice his age were relieved, they seemed to be looking at the barbarian camp from a distance, watching a change that happened there.
But among these people, the eyes of two people were always fixed on him.
"Currently the tribes are suffering heavy casualties, and the Shenluguan reinforcements are imminent. I believe that most of the tribe leaders have already dissented. Under this situation, Gesell must come up with powerful means to maintain the situation."
Gu Yanqi stood up, and he drew his hand out, pointing to the north.
"Yuecheng, or Daqing, to deal with the great enemy of the barbarians, it is necessary to separate Gesser from morality and deprive the entire grassland of a unified leader! But Gesser also knows this very well, and he will definitely do everything possible Unite the grasslands together!"
"Tonight, there must be changes in the barbarian camp, and this change will immediately affect the battle situation tomorrow!"
"Everyone! This time the strategy has had very little effect, and tomorrow will definitely be a tough battle!"
"I also ask you to show the determination to die and defend the city wall!"
Outside Yuecheng, the barbarian camp.
To welcome the new arrivals, the barbarian camp had more than doubled in size.
However, the arrival of the reinforcements did not improve the morale of the barbarians. The blood-stained wall of Yuecheng had become a nightmare for all the barbarians.
This is not a dangerous level, and there is no terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
However, the cunning Yuecheng defender insisted on relying on intrigue and trickery to defend this land despite the huge difference in troop strength.
Grand Chanyu Geser knew that their time was running out.
He couldn't figure out how long it would take for the Qing army at Shenluguan to reach Yuecheng, but it would definitely not be long. When Yuecheng replenished enough troops, everything would return to the situation at Shenluguan.
Confrontation, endless confrontation.
It's just that the situation here in Yuecheng is more complicated, because there is no Yancheng to back them up.
In the big tent, besides the generals, there were also the leaders of various tribes, big and small. People whispered to each other. I don’t know why Geers called so many people together late at night, which made the tent extraordinarily noisy.
It stands to reason that only the most powerful tribal leaders are qualified to stand in the commander's tent, but this time, regardless of the size of the tribe, as long as there are more than a thousand soldiers under their hands, all the leaders were called.
Only Prince Mozhigen and Chanyu Geser were missing.
"General Nari Song, do you know what's going on?" asked the most powerful leader of the tribe present.
That day Song was silent.
When the discussions in the tent reached a certain point, Geser finally appeared.
"Everyone!" In the tent that was silent for a moment, Geser Da Shanyu pointed to the south, and said loudly, "You and others gathered here to break down the city wall and take away the Qing people's food! Feed us women! cattle!"
"But it's already December! The grasslands have reached the coldest time! Our women and animals have not yet received food!"
"It's all because of those cunning Qing people! They refused to give us the food!"
Everyone looked at each other.
"Today! We are almost going to capture that city!" Goers continued: "This is a good sign! But in the end we still failed!"
"why is that!"
Wolf-like eyes looked at everyone present, causing the leaders to retract their heads involuntarily.
"Because some people standing here are afraid of death! They dare not attack the city!"
Gu Yanqi's judgment was not wrong, even a little too conservative.
Just today, some barbarian leaders have already retreated, and did not use their full strength when attacking the city, causing the Qing army to still hold the city wall before the sun went down.
There was deathly silence in the big tent.
"We are wolves on the prairie! Wolves should not be afraid of death!" Geser said in a firm tone, "Tomorrow morning! I will send General Na Risong to personally attack the city! And each of you must stand Forefront!"
The faces of the people changed greatly.
If they stand at the forefront, in order to protect themselves from death, they must bring elite soldiers from the clan.
And in this way, what should have been borne by the miscellaneous soldiers, and the part of the siege with the most casualties, was borne by them!
This can certainly greatly enhance the siege power of the barbarians, but who would be willing to do this!
Even if Yuecheng can be conquered, I am afraid that the food will not be distributed, and the tribe will be wiped out first!
"Gesser, you are deceiving people too much!" A tribal leader was furious, "If our people die, who will take care of the women and animals! I came here for food, not for death!"
He got up angrily and walked out of the big tent.
The faces of all the leaders moved slightly, and they all looked at Gesser.
Grand Chanyu Geser sat at the main seat, his expression normal.
"The first traitor."
The tribe leader stopped walking in vain, the clothes behind him suddenly arched strangely, and then a blood-red long knife pierced through the clothes and was exposed to the air.
L……
Blood spread on the tent in all directions, and the blood-red liquid dripped onto the ground little by little.
The knife was drawn back.
The tribal leader let out a broken whisper, and he stretched out his hand tremblingly, wanting to lift the curtain to see who swung the knife.
But before that, his body had already fallen back and fell heavily to the ground.
Until his death, a look of astonishment remained on his face.
The leaders stood up suddenly.
The curtain of the big tent was lifted, and Prince Morigen walked in with a blood-red long knife, followed by a dozen or so barbarian warriors who swarmed in, filling the space in the tent to the brim.
"Is there another dropout?"
Geser Da Chanyu's voice echoed in the deathly silence.
No one spoke.
"Very good, it seems that we have reached a consensus, then no matter how many people die tomorrow, I will take down that city!"
"The barbarians are simply crazy!!" He Zhengqi kicked down a siege ladder, watched the barbarians on it fall down wailing, and spat hard, "Your Highness, if this continues, they may not even need the siege ladder , You can come up by stepping directly on the corpse."
"How much hot oil do we have?" Mu Jing's face was serious.
"There is no hot oil, but hot water is fine." Gu Yanqi said with a pale face, wearing a battle armor and holding a long sword, "The barbarian elite troops who are besieging the city now have decided to use the lives of the elite City, then we can only defend the city with our lives."
Mu Jing's face was not very good-looking, the soldiers of the barbarians died quickly, so why not the Qing army.
"It won't last until noon." He Zhengqi said harshly.
"If you can't hold on, you have to hold on." Mu Jing thrust the spear in his hand down hard, and the barbarian soldier wailed and fell down, "Young Master Gu, it's too dangerous for you to stay on the city wall, go down first."
"Your Highness, the country is in trouble, how can Yan Qi escape alone." Gu Yanqi patted the long sword on his waist, "Yan Qi has a hand and a sword, please Your Highness allow Yan Qi to kill enemies for the country!"
"You have killed countless barbarians for Daqing!"
"Great timing, how can I not kill a few more barbarians for Daqing!" Gu Yanqi showed a rare wanton smile.
The cold wind was blowing on the city wall, and Gu Yanqi's long hair was blown into a mess. There was a rare tinge of blood on his pale cheeks, and he looked much healthier.
But there is also a kind of amazing courage.
It is a beauty that transcends gender and appearance. It is rooted in the soul, and no matter what the body that carries the soul looks like, it is enough to shock people.
Mu Jing was dumbfounded.
He heard his own voice ringing in his ears, but he didn't know when he said it.
"it is good."
Gu Yanqi cupped his hands, he drew his long sword and was about to leave, but before leaving, he said to Mu Jing: "Your Highness, don't worry, as long as there are two more hours, reinforcements will arrive."
two hours...
Mu Jing's thoughts returned to the war, and he frowned.
too difficult.
Another wave of barbarians broke away from the guards and ran over. Mu Jing drew his sword and cut down the man. Before he could respond to Gu Yanqi, he just nodded to show that he already knew.
Gu Yanqi knew that another time for him was ripe.
One month has passed since he came to this world, and he still has four months to bring down He Zhengqi.
His first plan is to win the trust of Prince Gong, and accumulate as much power as possible in his hands. As of today, he has gained the trust of Prince Gong, and the next step is to take over the military power.
You don't need too many soldiers, but you must be soldiers who have experienced many battles, have a firm heart, and are loyal.
At this time, Yuecheng became his prison again. To move forward, he had to leave Yuecheng.
The premise of these is to defend Yuecheng.
Gu Yanqi took a deep breath and settled down to cut down the enemy in front of him.
Blood splashed from the barbarian's neck and stained his cheeks, adding a magnificent color to the pale cheeks.
He Zhengqi happened to see this scene, he paused slightly, and was almost slashed by the barbarian's long knife, but fortunately, he was blocked by the guards around him.
"General, be careful!"
"Ah."
He Zhengqi responded with a little tastelessness, and then went to find Gu Yanqi, but he didn't know where the other party went.
With more and more barbarians on the city wall, the balance of victory began to tilt towards the barbarians.
Mu Jing had already released all his personal guards. At this time, even Cheng Yi, a big fat man, was covered in blood, but the battle situation was still getting worse.
How long has it been now?
Nobody knows.
Even knowing it is useless.
No one can predict when Shenluguan reinforcements will arrive today.
Even though Gu Yanqi said it would be two hours later.
"Your Highness." He Zhengqi pushed aside the fighting crowd and ran over, "You must leave!"
Mu Jing said coldly: "I am the coach of this battle, I am not going anywhere!"
He Zhengqi couldn't help it, he knew how powerful Mu Jing was, so naturally he didn't dare to offend him, but if the Yuecheng was defeated and the dignified Prince Gong was captured by the barbarians, they would all die!
Unknowingly, a trace of anger towards Mu Jing rose in his heart.
Under such circumstances, why should he take other people's lives so lightly!
Just as he was about to persuade him again, he suddenly heard someone shouting next to his ear.
"what is that!?"
He Zhengqi looked along the voice.
On the distant horizon in the west, a huge army appeared, and the battle flag of Daqing was particularly dazzling among them.
"It's reinforcements!"
"The reinforcements are here!!"
The Qing army on the city wall looked shocked!
Mu Jing was overjoyed immediately, and he shouted: "But someone dares to follow me out of the city!"
"We are willing to go out of the city with His Highness!"
The Qing army consisted of at least 6 to [-] people, with cavalry in front and infantry in the rear. They charged straight down from the mountain, instead of rescuing the city wall, they broke into the rear of the barbarians obliquely.
Danyu Geser was shocked!
He quickly organized the rear army to fight, and at the same time accelerated the attack on Yuecheng, trying to occupy Yuecheng before the reinforcements interfered with the city wall.
At this moment, the gate of Yuecheng was suddenly opened wide, and a thousand cavalry, led by Prince Gong, roared out of the gate, killing the siege infantry.
In an instant, the barbarians were attacked from both sides, and the formation suddenly became chaotic!
Nowhere to be found!
He Zhengqi's expression was inexplicable.
He grabbed his guard amidst the jubilation, and asked, "How long has Gu Yanqi been away!"
"Two hours! General, madam just left for two hours!"
