Chapter 1173

At this time, Zhao Huan's reputation in the state of Zhen was reflected. All the men, women, old and young in the city who were able to fight all went up to the wall to help the Zhen army resist the Allied forces. Those who could not carry arrows, rolling wood, stones and other things for the soldiers of the Zhen army on the city walls.

There are hundreds of thousands of common people in Huaning city. Moreover, the Zhen people are fierce and the whole people are all soldiers. Even when the people go to the battlefield, they are not unfamiliar, nor are they afraid. They are basically the same as the soldiers of the Zhen army.

Lingshuang, Yueze and Lixin thought that if their millions of troops besieged Huaning, they would easily break the city. However, in fact, it was just the opposite. Because of the full cooperation of the people in the city, the Allied soldiers could not attack for a long time, and the troops in front were exhausted. The rear Corps immediately took over and fought in turn. However, they could not break through the city defense of Huaning.

The battle continued endlessly, and the Allied forces had already started the whole army's fierce attack at noon until it was nearly evening. A million troops did not tear a hole in the city defense of Huaning.

At this time, lingshuang, Yueze and Lixin breathed in their hearts. They did not expect that the soldiers and civilians of Huaning were so tenacious and fierce that they were quite different from the cities they had attacked before.

Seeing that it was getting dark and dark, they could not help but start to think about whether the war should continue. At this time, the barracks in the rear of the United forces, which had not yet been completed, suddenly went into chaos.

A Zhen army who came out of nowhere suddenly killed out of the rear of the United Army camp, and directly penetrated into the camp of the United Army with lightning speed.

This incident came too suddenly, let alone that the coalition forces were unprepared. Even if the enemy's situation was discovered first, it could not be prevented.

First, the camp has not been set up, and the surrounding walls are full of holes. How can they defend the enemy's attack? Moreover, the main forces of the United forces have been put into the siege, and there are not many soldiers left to camp, and they are old, weak, sick and disabled. How can they be the opponents of the Zhen army?

There were not many troops in this Zhen army. At best, there were about 5000 soldiers. However, it was almost like entering a deserted area when they broke into the camp of the United Army. They cut down and killed every person they met. They killed the Allied troops who had set up the camp and fled in all directions. The Zhen army refused to give up, and set fire everywhere at the same time of pursuing and killing. In the United Army camp, there are military tents, food and supplies. These things stick to the fire. In addition, when the wind blows at night, the fire spreads very quickly. In the blink of an eye, the flames in the camp are several meters high.

Because the camp is in the west of Huaning, close to the second army of an and Huan, it is these two armies that first found the fire in their own camp.

When the soldiers below reported to Yueze and Lixin, both of them were somewhat unconvinced. When they looked back, their faces changed greatly. Their camp actually caught fire under their own eyes. What's the matter?

The two men did not know exactly what happened. The soldiers who escaped from the camp had already run to their side and reported to Yueze and Lixin that the camp had been attacked by the Zhen army, and the enemy had started to set fire to the camp.

Two people smell speech, the head is buzzing, for a long time can not come back to God.

The secret camp of the Zhen army? Where did the Zhen army come from? Why didn't you hear anything about it? Li Xin's fierce strange cry, a grasp of the deserter's collar, angry voice asked: "how many enemy troops? Why don't you report the attack as soon as possible? "

The deserter was so frightened that his legs became weak and he could not stand steadily. He repeatedly waved his hands and said, "it's too dark every day. When we found out the Zhen army, they had already touched it. They had no time to report the large number of troops of the Zhen army. It is estimated that there are tens of thousands of them."

damn it! Li Xin pushed the deserter away, and tens of thousands of people's Zhenjun unexpectedly felt into their own camp, which was a shame! He turned his head and looked at Yueze, who was also flustered. He asked, "brother Wang, what should I do now?"

"Can't help it," Yue Ze said with a big mouth: "quickly call the golden harvest and go all out to rescue the camp!"

"Alas Li Xin stamped her foot and roared to the left and right: "what are you doing standing here? Go to Mingjin

People around him wake up like a dream and start to sing gold.

As soon as the sound of gold sounded on their side, not only the two armies of anhuan retreated, but also the three armies of Feng, Zhen and Yu who attacked the city on the other three sides were also affected by it. The soldiers who attacked the city did not know that, so they quickly withdrew from the battlefield like the tide of ebb tide.

Soon, Yueze and Lixin sent soldiers to report the attack to the Fengjun, Zhenjun and Yujun respectively to tell Tang Yin, lingshuang and gu'anmin about the attack on their camp.

After hearing this, their hearts were trembling, and the camp was attacked. This is no small matter. Once the supplies and supplies are damaged, it will directly affect the future war situation.

At this time, even if people didn't want to go back to rescue, the rear team of Feng, Zhen and Yu changed into the front team and rushed back to the camp together.

At this time, the Zhen army that had invaded the camp had already fled, leaving only the burning fire in the camp. The United Army officers and men did not care to pursue the enemy. They all put out the fire and rescued food and supplies.

It was not until late at night that the coalition army finally put out all the fires in the camp. At this time, when we looked at the camp, it was full of ruins and was in a mess.The damage caused by this fire to the coalition forces is not small.

Among them, the most serious loss is grain and grass. It is estimated that at least tens of thousands of grain and grass have been damaged. In addition, there are at least tens of thousands of tents that have been burned, and many military uniforms and weapons have been destroyed.

This situation makes the United Army officers and men all dumbfounded and don't know what to do.

Looking at the gloomy and silent monarchs, Kong Qing coughed and said, "Huaning belongs to Xitang Acropolis. The people have always been loyal to the imperial court. Even if the king is a faint one, the people are still loyal to him. Therefore, it is not so easy to fight against Huaning. In addition, Zhao Huan's use of troops has always been weird and cunning, and our army is not familiar with the terrain of this area of Huaning, so it is easy for us to suffer losses. Therefore, it is unwise for our army to rush to attack Huaning without a stable foothold. It is indeed unwise and gives the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it. "

What he said was ostensibly an analysis, but in fact he complained that the decision of lingshuang, Yueze and Lixin was wrong. The three monarchs were not fools. Of course, they could hear his words, and their faces became more and more ugly.

Li Xin heavily hummed, coldly said: "why didn't you say it at the beginning? What's the use of talking about it now? It's urgent to think about what we should do next. "

There are too many damaged materials this time. If they can not be replenished in time, the coalition forces will be unable to move forward and will have to withdraw at last. It's a matter of great importance. As a Zhen general, Kong Qing didn't dare to say much and hung his head and did not speak.

Li Xin didn't expect him to come up with any good idea at all. He turned to Tang Yin, rubbed his hands in embarrassment and asked with a dry smile: "brother Wang, in your opinion?"

In the face of Tang yinshuang's loss, the more he is willing to resist, the more he will not resist.

What to do? Tang Yin also wants to know what his side should do now. He pondered for a while and said, "first count out the specific losses, and then think about countermeasures."

"Yes, yes, yes! Brother Wang, you are right Li Xin repeatedly nodded, and then to the Huanjun generals behind him, he said, "don't you hurry to do it?"

The United forces of the five countries moved up and down together and began to make detailed statistics of their own losses. There were 12000 tents damaged, of which about 10000 were completely abandoned. That is to say, in the next campaign, at least 200000 or 300000 soldiers of the coalition army had no tents to live in and had to sleep in the open air. The total number of damaged grain and grass is 60000 stones, which is more than half of the total grain and grass of the coalition forces. There are more than 300 large-scale weapons damaged, such as riprappers, washing carts and arrow towers. There are countless military uniforms and weapons.

In addition, the total number of casualties on the day of the five nations' strong attack on Huaning was 70000 to 80000. After only one day of fierce fighting, the losses of the United forces can be described as heavy.

Listening to the general's report, Tang Yin felt a headache. Now the problem facing the United forces is not whether they can defeat Huaning as soon as possible, but whether they can continue to fight.

The shortage of barracks will only lead to the fact that some of the officers and soldiers will not get enough rest, and the shortage of food and grass will determine the life and death of the whole army.

He pondered for a moment and asked Yueze and Lixin: "when will the next batch of our army's grain and grass be delivered?"

Yueze whispered, "we have to wait half a month at the fastest."

It will take so long.

Tang Yin frowned more tightly. Judging from the grain and forage left in the army, even if he was frugal, he would stick to it for ten days at most. If he wanted not to be forced to retreat, there were only two ways: to kill Huaning quickly or to attack Xitang directly.

Looking at Xiao MuQing and Ziying, he said, "our army gave up attacking Huaning and Tongcheng and went directly to fight Xitang. What do you think of them?"

Now he doesn't want to ask lingshuang, Yueze and Lixin for their opinions. None of the three monarchs can fight with soldiers. Ask them, it's better to ask their own ministers!

Ziying said anxiously: "abandoning the fight against Huaning and Tongcheng will lead to hidden dangers in the future. First, the supply line will be cut off. Second, when our army attacks Xitang with all its strength, the Zhen army from Huaning and Tongcheng will definitely attack our rear. If it is not good, our army will be defeated."

"The logistics of our army can no longer be expected." Tang Yin solemnly said: "the grain and grass will be delivered in half a month, but the grain and grass left in our army can only last for 10 days at most. If we don't want to withdraw, we have to do something within ten days. But as you can see in today's battle, it's too difficult and almost impossible to defeat Huaning in a short period of time. Therefore, I proposed to take the Western soup directly and use our usual tactics to defeat the enemy! "

The usual tactics? Xiao Mu Qing's eyes suddenly brightened, and he said, "surround me for help?"

"Yes Tang Yin said: "feign attack on Xitang and lead the garrison from Huaning and Tongcheng to come out of the city to help!"
