Chapter 531

However, it is gratifying to compare this number with the number of soldiers killed in fog Valley by Beiyou.

Because of this lesson, Xiao Yiyuan did not immediately order the army to move to Wugu after the heavy rain stopped. Instead, he went into the city again and asked Xia Jin for advice

On the third day after his return, he sent five soldiers to the outer edge of fog Valley to investigate.

After the five soldiers returned, he sent another five soldiers to explore the fog Valley in a deeper and wider area the day after

This cycle, until it is determined that all the fire spots in the fog valley have been extinguished, Xiao Yiyuan orders Dongfang Youhua to lead his troops into the valley to clean up and bury the bodies of enemy troops and large beasts in the valley.

Dongfang Youhua returns to life two days later. Xiao Yiyuan immediately orders the army to move forward to Xicheng the next day!

The distance between Xi City and fog Valley is no more than 50 Li. At dawn the next day after the army started, they arrived under Xi City.

At this time, a huge company stockade has been built outside the city of Xi. The internal defense soldiers are the soldiers who escaped from the fog valley a few days ago.

After lianzhai, there are three broad and deep trenches to prevent soldiers and horses from crossing and leaping.

After the trench, the moat will protect Xi City tightly.

At this time, on the high wall of the moat, there are countless Beiyou soldiers who are ready to fight and are not afraid of death.

According to the secret report sent back by the previous spies, there are 150000 defenders in Xi City.

If you add the soldiers in the village outside the city, the number should be between 190000 and 200000.

It's a long war to capture Xi City!

……

Xiao Yiyuan and a group of generals, on a small hill outside the city of Xi, collected all the scenery outside the city of Xi, and ordered the army to be stationed five miles outside the city of Xi.

Among the commanders, Xiao Yiyuan discussed tactics with the generals, and Dongfang Youhua, as a pioneer official, took the lead to speak:

"Lord, most of the 150000 garrisons in Xi City were formed by Beiyou royal family before the war, and they were selected from the northwest army which was the best at fighting.

It is not good for our soldiers to fight long distances.

If we make a strong attack, and the fortifications outside Beiyou Youxi city will be fortified, our army will be in a bad position.

If you choose the tactic of long-term consumption, you may not be able to supply the follow-up food and grass! "

The northwest army is the division of the tiger and wolf in Beiyou. It is fully capable of fighting against the most elite trump team in the Eastern Qing Dynasty.

The elite drawn from the division of tiger and wolf will only be more terrifying!

Although there were a large number of people in the Eastern Qing Dynasty, in the siege war, 380000 attacked 150000, so there was no advantage!

And such a proportion, or not from fog Valley fled to the north you soldiers, count in the case.

When Dongfang Youhua said this, the atmosphere inside the account was even more heavy, and the generals thought deeply.

Although they have already attacked the city of Xi, the difficulty they are facing is as big as the sky!

In the silence, Xiao Yiyuan finally broke the silence

"Beiyou and Xichuan reached an alliance earlier than in secret. If the war lasted too long, once Xichuan spared his hand in the battle with the old general of the East and sent troops to help Beiyou, the situation of our army would only be more critical! The battle of Xi City can only be decided quickly

Xiao Yiyuan's vast deep eyes are full of fierce colors, which can't be refuted!

What he didn't say was that the deeper reason why he was so eager to end the war was Xia Jin!

"But Lord, if you attack by force, only ten thousand soldiers of Tianqing camp, who have been directly under your command, can fight the garrison in the city. However, with ten thousand to one hundred and fifty thousand, and in the siege, it is absolutely impossible to win. You... "

After Xiao Yiyuan finished his speech, an older general took over the conversation.

In his words, he didn't approve of Xiao Yiyuan's "quick decision".
