Chapter 661

The Marquis, yuefengwan and Huo Tianxiu in the West did not give Xiao mubai any breathing space when the three people kept attacking.

At dawn, the first batch of garrison troops in Baoning arrived. They were already discussing the siege with Shi Fuqiu. At the time of application for time, the garrison troops of the eight nearby cities successively arrived outside Chang'an city.

One city reserves 30000 garrison troops, and the eight cities are 240000. In addition, the original 20000 soldiers of Shi Fuqiu, together with the troops of Dali temple, Ministry of punishment, Yushitai and Jing Zhaoyin in central Beijing, are close to 280000.

In Chang'an, however, there was only the 40000 ink King army of Xiao mubai.

Although there are 100000 people in the city, they are all ordinary civilians. Although they are full of morale, they can do some logistics errands. If they are expected to fight, it is empty talk.

Nevertheless, there are still many young men who take the initiative to find the army and hope to contribute.

Xiao mubai arranged for Zhao Xingwen to select 10000 people from them. It was too late to practice. They had to hold Buddha feet temporarily and teach them some common military instructions.

The military officers in the court took off their official robes and joined the war spontaneously.

King Mo's mansion has become a temporary command office. Everyone in the house is solemn and making final preparations for tomorrow's war.

At the third quarter of Yin, Xiao mubai also went to the palace to go to the early Dynasty.

The more this happens, the more it is necessary to do everything as usual, otherwise the hearts of the army and the people will be in a mess and the war will be defeated before it is fought.

Xiao Zimu and Xiao mubai, who left the court, stood on the imperial city. Xiao Zimu looked at the orderly final handover defense in Chang'an City and asked Xiao mubai, "second brother, how long can you keep it?"

Xiao mubai looked solemn and replied in a deep voice, "Chang'an is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If they haven't carried large siege equipment, I can defend until the last minute."

Xiao mubai has been stationed in the frontier all year round. I don't know how many soldiers and horses the two countries have seen. Since childhood, most of them are on the line, and he has long been used to it.

Therefore, in the face of the army forcing Beijing, Xiao mubai did not panic at all, but the deep meaning outside this sentence was clear. He was not sure of winning.

This is a tug of war that must be defeated but must face the enemy. It just depends on how long it can be delayed.

"Since concubine Li has long been rebellious, even the Garrison has been dispatched. I don't think the siege equipment will be unprepared." Xiao Zimu looked wistfully at the hazy sky about to dawn.

"If you want to win time, you should hurt them and frustrate their military spirit and spirit at the moment they are close to Chang'an." Xiao mubai looked at Chang'an as if shrouded in a layer of silver gray gauze and narrowed his eyes slightly: "there are four city gates in the southeast and northwest. Do you guess where Shi Fuqiu will attack the city?"

Xiao Zimu also knows that there is a serious shortage of troops at present. If you want to inspire the army to fight the rebels, this first battle is very important.

"If the Lord general is Shi Fuqiu, it can only be... North city gate." He lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice that if he could win the first victory in one fell swoop, it would also give great encouragement to the army.

"Just like me." Xiao mubai nodded and seconded.

The reason why he was detained at the north gate was that Shi Fuqiu was defeated without fighting the day before yesterday. As the head of a general, he naturally wanted to find the lost field.

Xiao Mu frowned among his white eyebrows: "I left a team of light riders there."

Xiao Zimu glanced at him, and a different color flashed in his eyes. There was a great disparity between the strength of the enemy and ours. It was impossible to send troops to resist the enemy outside the city gate.

But Xiao mubai had the heart to strike hard, so he had to give the rebels a deep blow at the moment when they were close to the city gate, so as to reduce the morale of the rebels a little.

However, the light cavalry left by this team, even if it will cause damage to the rebels, will also be pursued and hanged, for fear that the last person will not survive.

Xiao mubai guessed what he thought in his heart, lowered his eyes and said with a trace of cold: "there are no people who are greedy for life and afraid of death in the ink King army."

Xiao Zimu sighed softly. Even so, if this resistance is futile after all?

If all the sacrifices come to the end, or the blood splashes the Imperial City, if they give up at this time, can they still save the people of Chang'an?

"Second brother, even if the father wakes up, does he really have a back move?" Xiao Zimu looked at Xiao mubai with complicated eyes.

He's not a coward. He's just afraid of being burned but empty.

He is not afraid of death. He is only afraid of leaving the people all over the city... To be buried with him.

Xiao mubai patted him on the shoulder, then turned around and prepared to go down the wall to fight. He also sighed in his heart. Whether his father could wake up was actually a gamble.

He just has to live and die until the Raven returns to Beijing. In any case, he won't leave at this time in early summer, but if the Raven returns, he can still take her away by force.

In this battle of Kyoto, even if he took the lead and died, he still had a selfish hope that he could live safely in early summer.

He left her his own gold seal, as long as the Raven could take her to Chongqing.

Even if the state of Xiao fell, she could spend the rest of her life in Liang Guoan.

When Xiao mubai stepped down the stairs with his toes, the horn sounded suddenly.

He turned and looked down from the imperial city. There were smoke everywhere. Outside the four gates of Chang'an, countless wolf smoke appeared in different directions.

Xiao mubai and Xiao Zimu both guessed that Shi Fuqiu would attack mainly from the north gate, but at this glance, the rebels were even aboveboard and aggressive, attacking from four gates in the southeast and northwest of Chang'an at the same time.

At the same time, they "hissed" and looked at each other and wondered how many garrison troops had been rebelled against in such a big battle?

Although Xiao mubai received some news before concubine Li blocked Chang'an, he thought he had betrayed the garrison of two or three cities.

As everyone knows, the eight nearby cities rebelled together!

Just for a moment, there was wolf smoke all over Kyoto

Shi Fuqiu looked at the north gate and felt a little excited.

People's psychology is really erratic and fickle. Yesterday, he was guilty of treason, but today, he was eager to conquer Chang'an, the capital of Kyoto.

Before he rebelled, he was cautious and trembling.

Once you really betray, you will abandon your shackles and become unscrupulous.

This time, when the army attacked the city, Princess Li wanted to be aboveboard and use potential to suppress people. The people in Chang'an City, who had better be able to suppress, surrendered timidly and frightened.

Originally, she wanted Xiao Yanjun to have a good reputation. Since Renjun couldn't succeed, she suppressed them by force and made them afraid.

A tyrant is also a tyrant.

Since we can't let the people love it, let the people fear it.

The rebels approached by four gates. Shi Fuqiu's Shi Family army, as expected by Xiao mubai and Xiao Zimu, did go through the north gate.

The shame of the day before yesterday must be washed away by hand.

Chang'an city is now full of 40000 ink King troops, guarding four gates.

The 280000 troops attacked four gates, which was extremely easy for Shi Fuqiu.

Therefore, he can't wait
