The king behind the empress

Chapter 382
Mo Zizai looked at Xing Jun who was waiting in full force on the city wall, and couldn't help but feel a little funny. Although he paid more attention to the siege of Zhaoyuan City, he just wanted to minimize the losses of the Yuzhi Army.

With the current strength of the Yuzhi Army, since he is ready to take down Zhaoyuan City at the fastest speed regardless of the cost, there will be no room for him to resist.

Still waiting for the battle, do you really think that Zhaoyuan City can be defended by being cautious?

Thinking of this, Mo Zizai turned his head to look at Han Qu, and asked, "With our strength, how long will it take to take down Zhaoyuan City?"

"how long it takes……"

Han Qu looked up at the shadowy defenders on the top of the city, and pondered for a moment.

For a strong city like Zhaoyuan City, which is high and deep, and the guard is determined to be a tortoise, it would not be a surprise to guard it for a year or so without lack of food and grass.

Of course, that's just a normal situation. The whole army of the Yuzhi Army is warriors, and it's not a problem for one to be five or even one to be ten. So naturally it won't take that long to take down Zhaoyuan City.

So Han Qu thought for a while, and gave a relatively conservative time, "Fifteen days, with the strength of the Yuzhi Army, fifteen days is enough to take Zhaoyuan City."

"Fifteen days?"

Mo Zizai shook his head, apparently dissatisfied with the time, but he didn't say anything, but turned to look at Yang Yanzhang, and asked, "What do you think?"

Yang Yanzhang's judgment in his heart was similar to Han Qu's. He felt that it would be no problem to win Zhaoyuan City in fifteen days, but Mo Zizai didn't seem very satisfied, so he was silent for a moment and added his own strength into it. .

Now that he is in the golden body state, if he forcibly attacks the city, the defenders of Zhaoyuan City will definitely mobilize a large number of troops to advance himself, so that the time to break the city can be greatly shortened, so he was cruel, and said: "If there is If I join the battle, I can take Zhaoyuan City within ten days at the most."

"It's just that in this way, I can't hide my strength. When I hit Yining City, the guards there will definitely find a way to guard against me."

In Yang Yanzhang's plan, he was not going to make a move in Zhaoyuan City. In this way, when he attacked Yining, the county city of Yuanling County, he would make a sudden attack to achieve the greatest results.

Hearing what Yang Yanzhang said, Mo Zizai hadn't made a statement yet, so Han Qu glanced at Yang Yanzhang in surprise. On the battlefield, the only thing that can influence the battle situation is the golden body state, and hearing Yang Yanzhang's words, it seems that he is already a golden body Realm warrior?

But if I remember correctly, Yang Yanzhang should be in his early 30s, right? A golden body in his 30s? ? ?
Han Qu found it a bit difficult to accept. He was almost sixty years old, and he hadn't yet touched the shadow of the golden body. Yang Yanzhang was already in the golden body when he was thirty, and he was not mediocre. How could there be such a big gap?

"Ten days?"

Mo Zizai didn't care about Han Qu's shock. He frowned when he heard the time given by Yang Yanzhang, "Ten days is too long."

How long is ten days?

Yang Yanzhang and Han Qu looked at each other, feeling a little helpless in their hearts, Zhaoyuan City is a real big city, it can be defeated very quickly in ten days, but Mo Zizi is still too slow.

"one day."

Mo Zizai raised a finger to look at the two of them, and said in a firm tone, "Take Zhaoyuan City within a day at most."

"One day, it's impossible."

Han Qu shook his head directly. Ten days is already the shortest time limit, and one day is simply unrealistic. Unless the Yuzhi Army can take down Zhaoyuan City in a short time regardless of their own losses, but if they attack the city like this, The Yuzhi army will definitely suffer heavy losses.

In this way, so what if Zhaoyuan City can be captured within a day?What will Yining City use to fight?
Therefore, Han Qu was very disappointed with Mo Zizai's order to take down Zhaoyuan City one day, because many famous generals in history were killed by such blind orders. Those stupid kings who issued military orders indiscriminately equated them, and felt a little regretful in their hearts for bringing the frontier army to Mo Zizai's hands to die.

Yang Yanzhang didn't have so many thoughts. After following Mo Zizai for so long, he still knew a little about Mo Zizai, so he directly advised him: "My lord, the time in one day is too tight. If we really want to call according to this deadline, we There will definitely be a lot of unnecessary losses, and there is no need for us to be in such a hurry."

"It is necessary, the faster you play, the smaller the loss."

Mo Zizai replied lightly, although what he and Yang Yanzhang were talking about were losses, but the loss was not about the same person.

The loss Yang Yanzhang mentioned refers to the loss of the Yuzhi Army, while the loss Mo Zizai mentioned included the soldiers of Zhaoyuan City in addition to the Yuzhi Army.

"As long as we can break through Zhaoyuan City and behead those generals who caused rebellion, do you think those soldiers in Zhaoyuan City will fight to the end?"

Hearing what Mo Zizai said, Yang Yanzhang was silent for a moment. Under Tang Weiyi's various tax reduction policies, the current Da Zhou has not completely lost the hearts of the people.

If Zhaoyuan City is destroyed and Mo Zizai's army enters the city, those soldiers naturally have no reason not to surrender.

"Although the soldiers in the city can't be called elite, they are well-trained. With a little more 'training', it will definitely be no problem to serve as backup soldiers of the Imperial Army. Therefore, it is necessary to keep them."

Mo Zizai knew Yang Yanzhang's concerns, so after saying this, he continued: "Of course, they are not my own people now, so I will definitely not let the Yuzhi army die in vain for this reason."

"What I said about breaking Zhaoyuan City in one day has a premise."

Speaking of this, Mo Zizai showed a faint smile on his face, and said: "As long as you can hold back the main force of Zhaoyuan City, I am sure that I can take down a city wall in a short time."

"If that's the case, breaking through Zhaoyuan City in one day will naturally not be a problem."

"how is this possible?"

Yang Yanzhang and Han Qu looked at Mo Zizai in disbelief. You must know that the city wall of Zhaoyuan City is five feet long, that is, 15 meters high. It is a bit exaggerated to take down a city wall in such a short period of time. Bar?

Yang Yanzhang, who had just entered the Golden Body Realm, was blessed with the Eight Dragon and Elephant Laws, and felt that his strength was already considered good, but after he climbed the city wall, there would definitely be many soldiers against him.

After all, the soldiers on the top of the city are not all targets. If they are not opponents, they will temporarily retreat. At that time, there will be generals from Zhaoyuan City and various defense equipment. Only retreat temporarily.

"Don't worry about it, maybe it's impossible."

Mo Zizai didn't intend to explain to the two of them, but asked them, "I just ask you, are you sure to hold back the main force of Zhaoyuan City?"

"This is of course no problem."

Yang Yanzhang and Han Qu nodded without hesitation. With the strength of the Yuzhi Army, although it is impossible to capture the city wall in a short time, it is not a problem to hold back the main force of Zhaoyuan City.

"it is good."

Mo Zizai nodded and said, "Since that's the case, you, Yan Zhang, lead five thousand Red Flame Dragon Riders to attack the southern city wall, and General Han, you lead ten thousand Yuzhi troops to attack the western and eastern city walls."

"As for the front, just leave it to me."

"Here!"

Yang Yanzhang agreed with Han Qu, then discussed with Mo Zizai for a while, and soon finalized the plan for attacking the city.

Mo Zizai looked at the city wall of Zhaoyuan City with his hands behind his back. He took down Zhaoyuan City in one day, not because he was inflated, but because he had two new hole cards. With these two hole cards in hand, plus himself, if It will take ten more days in Zhaoyuan City, so he is too useless.

"Hmph, Zhaoyuan City?"

Mo Zizai showed a look of coldness in his eyes. As the level of the accelerator increased, his wings had gradually plumped up, and he didn't need to hide any trump cards at all.

Today, he wanted to let the family of Dazhou know that since he dared to kill ministers recklessly in the court, he had the strength to suppress all opposing voices. If he wanted to stand on the opposite side of himself, then he should be prepared to kill the whole family.

"On Saturday, send someone to shout, saying that the guards of Zhaoyuan City have rebelled, and ask the generals in the city to surrender and offer the city immediately, otherwise the whole family will be guilty of the crime when the city is destroyed!"

"Here!"

Zhou Qi responded, and immediately sent a few people to Zhaoyuan City to shout out, but apart from being shot twice with arrows, there was nothing to gain.

Seeing that the yelling did not cause the slightest commotion in the city, Mo Zizai knew that the generals in the city had already been controlled by Xing Jun, so he exhaled softly and said in a cold tone: "If that's the case, then don't blame me for being ruthless. "

Having mastered the punishment average of all the troops in the city, he didn't care about what Mo Zizai said just now. He looked at the scattered troops below the city and knew that he was going to divide his troops to attack Zhaoyuan City. This made him feel relieved, because the siege battle However, if the troops were several times larger than the city, then it would be no problem to divide the troops. After all, the city wall was only so wide, and it would not be of much use to concentrate all the troops on one city wall.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly a very wise choice to divide the troops and attack the city at this time.

But the current situation is that there are not many Yuzhi soldiers in the first place, even less than the defensive troops in the city. It is a bit nervous to concentrate troops to attack a city wall with [-] troops, but now they have to forcefully divide the troops. Xing Jun thinks See how he is going to attack now.

"The commander of the enemy army seems to be a man of paper."

After Xing Jun came to this conclusion in his mind, he said sarcastically, "Could it be that he thinks that the soldiers under his command have the strength of those Red Flame Dragon Knights, and that they can outnumber ten with one? I really don't know what to say."

"That's what the lord said."

Liang Ming behind Xing Jun saw the changes in the army below, and couldn't help laughing. After echoing Xing Jun's words, he said, "Don't say that they don't have the strength of the Red Flame Dragon Knight. Can they block the rain of arrows even without heavy armor?"

"Don't take it lightly."

Xing Jun, who was a little proud at first, was immediately brought back bad memories when he heard the word "heavy armor", and immediately suppressed the smile on his face, and said with a gloomy expression: "The Red Flame Dragon Knight has such a strong combat power, They can't just leave it alone, and I'm worried they might abandon their horses and force their way into the city."

"Now you follow me to the south wall immediately, and bring more fire oil to support there. Once those cavalry dare to attack the city directly, then pour the fire oil directly. I will burn these tin cans to death alive. Under the city!!!”

There was a bit of gnashing of teeth in Xing Jun's tone, as if those red flame dragonriders were right in front of him at this moment, and they were all burned to death by him.

"Cavalry infantry? It's not enough, is it?"

Liang Ming questioned Xing Jun's judgment in his heart. It would be a waste of troops if the cavalry were replaced by infantry. Which fool would do that?
But he also knew that Xing Jun had already been cast a psychological shadow by the Red Flame Dragon Rider, so he didn't dare to say anything more at the moment. After he agreed, he immediately mobilized the peasants to go to the warehouse to move another batch of kerosene, and hoarded it on the southern city wall.

After Liang Ming arranged to come to the southern city wall, he couldn't help being a little dumbfounded when he saw the scene below, "Is there really such a fool?"

Under the city wall, all five thousand Yuzhi troops dismounted, and each of them was wearing heavy armor, carrying a siege ladder and pressing towards the city wall.

And Xing Jun on the side, although he also felt that the cavalry infantry battle was a bit wasteful, he was more shocked by the strength of the red flame dragonriders below the city.

He has already tried the power of those heavy armors with bows and arrows, and the arrows can't even make a dent on them, and the armor that can have this kind of defense is likely to be black armor made of black iron. As we all know, The ink armor is generally made for generals, and its weight is quite astonishing, and ordinary soldiers cannot bear it at all.

But right now, these soldiers of the Red Flame Dragon Rider are all wearing black armor, and they walk and run as usual. Could it be that they all have the strength of their own generals?

Thinking of this possibility, Xing Jun felt a little desperate. With such a disparity in strength, he felt an urge to surrender.

But such a thing as surrender can only be thought about.

Leaving aside his status as a nobleman, let's just say that his family members are all in Yining City. Unless he disregards the lives of his wife and children, he will never surrender.

"Mo Zizai really has a good hand."

Looking at the Red Flame Dragon Knights getting closer and closer to the city, Xing Jun felt a little sad, because with the strength shown by these Red Flame Dragon Knights now, even if the rest of the Yuzhi Army were ordinary soldiers, he could at most defend That's all for a month.

And as the guard of Zhaoyuan City, the day the city is broken is naturally the time for his death.

"A month?"

Xing Jun took a deep breath and forcibly cheered himself up, "A month is just a month. As long as you can die well, so what if you can only watch for a month?"

Thinking of this, he ordered loudly: "Liang Ming!"

"I am humble!"

Although Liang Ming also felt that something was wrong with the Chiyan Dragonrider below, he didn't think as much as Xing Jun thought. When he heard Xing Jun calling him, he immediately answered loudly.

"Go and transfer all the reserve troops to this city wall, and by the way, transfer two more Arrows."

Xing Jun looked at the Red Flame Dragon Knight below and felt ruthless in his heart. He had a city wall to defend, so what if the Red Flame Dragon Knight was very strong?

Mo Zizai only had such a hole card in his hand. If he was severely injured in Zhaoyuan City, he would like to see what else Mo Zizai could use to calm Da Zhou.

Those aristocratic families in the Great Zhou Dynasty were all hungry wolves. Once they noticed that the imperial court was weakened, they might be able to swallow the entire imperial court in an instant.

If he wanted to take a gamble, he would bet that Mo Zizai wouldn't dare to take such a big risk and fight him to the death in Zhaoyuan City. Only in this way could he have a chance of survival!
