The sound of bells blasted and the sky was full of flames.
The attack on Chang'an had been going on for two days.
It had to be admitted that Chang'an was difficult to attack because of its high walls and deep moats.
However, under the crazy attack of the Xiliang generals, they still managed to reach the top of the city several times.
However,......, and it was about to be torn open.
But at this moment, it was forcefully taken back by someone.
"Damn it!"
Beigong Boyu cursed inwardly.
The soldiers who had attacked earlier were wiped out again.
He felt a little unhappy!
Or......
Han Sui bowed and said,"Don't worry ,
General. Chang'an won't hold out for much longer. All the surrounding cities have been occupied by us. It is already an isolated city."
"If my estimate is correct"
"perhaps......"Han Sui frowned and said softly:"In three days at least, five days at most, Chang'an will fall! Now, the most critical problem is that our army has no food for the next day. If Yan Ming does not come back, I am afraid that the army will change its mind."
"What did you say?"
Beigong Boyu was stunned:"No food for the next day?"
Han Sui nodded:"That's right! At most, it will be enough for tomorrow morning. I have sent people to inquire in the direction of Chencang. Maybe Yanming encountered harassment from Wang Hao of Yong County, so he was delayed!"
"Is there any news?"
Beigong Boyu asked anxiously.
"Not yet."
Han Sui said softly:"But it should be soon!"
Beigong Boyu let out a long breath:"Continue to send people to inquire, and report immediately if there is any news. There must be no problem with military rations!"
Han Sui nodded:"I understand!"
"Report"
Just as he finished speaking, a quick report sounded from the rear of the army.
Beigong Boyu turned his head and saw a horse galloping over.
It was his own scout.
He could tell from his clothes that he was a scout.
The scout came up to him, jumped off his horse, and said in a panic:
"General! Something terrible has happened."
"I have explored all the way to Chencang, and just now I learned that General Yan Xing's 5,000 elite cavalry had been killed by Wang Hao of Yong County, and our 800 carts of food had also been burned!"
"even......"，
"Even what?"
At this moment, Beigong Boyu's anger had already risen like a raging fire:"What is Yan Xing doing? Five thousand elite cavalrymen can actually be wiped out by a Wang Hao? He might as well die!"
The scout swallowed his saliva:"General, General Yan Xing has also died in the battle!"
""Ah?"
Han Sui was stunned!
Beigong was stunned!
The soldiers were even more stunned!
In fact, Beigong Boyu was just confused by anger, he didn't really want Yan Xing to die.
But unexpectedly, Yan Xing really died in the battle!
You know, he was the most powerful general in Xiliang, but he died in the team escorting food and grass, and he was fighting in the wilderness with 5,000 elite cavalry under his command! Discuss. This......
Beigong really couldn't think of it. What kind of means did the other party use to kill all of Yan Xing's 5,000 elite cavalry? Before Beigong Boyu could ask, Han Sui couldn't wait any longer:
"What on earth is going on?"
The scout exhaled:
"I don't know what happened specifically."
"But when I went to see the post-war scene, it was a scorched earth, probably a fire attack!"
"Moreover, there is a pungent smell in the air."
"More importantly, General Yan Xing had at least thirty wounds on his body, and his whole body was covered with pottery shards!"
The more the scouts talked, the more frightened the soldiers became!
Fire attack?
What effect would a fire attack have on the war horses in the wilderness?
They only needed to gallop, and no matter how fast they ran, could they be faster than the galloping speed of the war horses?
This was obviously impossible!
A pungent smell?
His whole body was covered with pottery shards?
Han Sui was stunned!
Such a post-war scene.
Even if he racked his brains, he couldn't figure out how the other side did it.
Five thousand elite cavalry! That's a full five thousand cavalry!......, just like that, they were destroyed?
However, the other side was still a county with a total force of only four or five thousand.
If they had ten or twenty thousand people, wouldn't they dare to directly confront the 100,000-strong army of Xiliang?
Han Sui couldn't imagine it!
What kind of opponent was Wang Hao? He could actually force them to this extent!
Quiet! Quiet!
Deathly quiet!
The whole scene was filled with only the sound of metal colliding and the screams of the soldiers.
But they didn't know why, they always felt that they could hear each other's heartbeats and even breathing.
Maybe!
It was a kind of fear from the soul.
Han Sui swallowed his saliva and took the lead in breaking the silence:
"General, let's withdraw our troops for now."
"Without food and grass, the army will inevitably lose its morale. If so, there may be a mutiny!"
Li Wenhou frowned and let out a long sigh:
"Yes, General, why don’t we retreat to Chencang temporarily!"
"We will make a decision after the food and grass arrive.....@Beigong
Boyu turned his head and glanced at Chang'an City.
On the top of the city, the soldiers were attacking fiercely and fighting bloody battles.
It seemed that as long as they persisted, they would win!
But unfortunately, Beigong Boyu could no longer afford to block it!
After all, the troops under his command were not all his direct descendants.
There were also many soldiers who surrendered later.
Once there was no food and grass, his own team might still be able to stabilize.
But it might not be so easy to stabilize the troops that surrendered later!
If they were only a few, it would be fine.
But........., this part of the troops accounted for more than half of the total force.
Once a military mutiny occurred, it would inevitably cause a chain reaction. At that time, they would collapse without fighting!
Beigong Boyu could not afford such consequences.
He clenched his teeth and his eyes were cold.
This feeling......, just like a cooked duck flying away again.
Beigong Boyu was extremely heartbroken.
He clenched his fists and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth:
"Order! Retreat!"
"Xiliang cavalry led the way and temporarily retreated to Meiyang."
The next second.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The crisp sound of golden bells rang out.
The Xiliang soldiers who were fighting fiercely were stunned.
Although they didn't understand the meaning, they still retreated like a tide.
Beigong Boyu was furious.
But at this moment, a crazy cheer rang out from Chang'an City:
"we won!"
"I really won, I actually won!"
"Haha, we really won!"
"......", every word was like a sharp sword, stabbing Beigong Boyu's heart fiercely.
He really had the urge to turn back and fight again, and then take Chang'an in one go!
But he knew......, this is really just an impulse.
If they fail to take Chang'an, they will inevitably face the embarrassing situation of having no food and grass.
"Damn it!"
The anger in Beigong Boyu's eyes seemed to burst out.
He gritted his teeth and said sternly:"Wen Yue! I have made up my mind. We will attack Yong County first and then fight in Chang'an. If we let Wang Hao, this thief, cause chaos, we will never be able to take Chang'an!"
