My wife is the Daxia Empress

Chapter 267 Chengguan falls, the whole army shakes

Even the general who was in the granary could hear the terrifying sound clearly.

The corners of his mouth were raised, but his expression remained unchanged.

Sure enough, the burning of the granary was just a cover, in order to transfer all the troops in the city to the granary.

In this way, Daxia can easily conquer Chengguan.

"Unfortunately, this wishful thinking is probably about to fail."

He sneered.

Everything is under his control.

He has sent additional soldiers and horses to guard the city wall, and Daxia cannot break through the city pass anyway.

"All speed up for me and put out the fire!"

He didn't pay attention to the battle outside the pass anymore, and his attention was all on the granary at the moment.

This granary was the lifeblood of the Ming army.

If they can't keep the granary, Daming will have no choice but to withdraw their troops, and they may even withdraw from Mengyin. By then, all their previous efforts will be in vain!

This is something he would never allow to happen.

"Hurry up!"

he yelled anxiously.

But at this moment, the ground suddenly shook, and the defenders led by General Zhang rushed over, which made the general feel cold.

"What's going on, why are you here?"

He yelled at these soldiers, and at the same time, he didn't stop, and ran directly towards the city wall.

General Zhang's eyes widened, his heart sank, and he already understood what happened.

Counted!
"Go back to me, go back and defend!"

General Zhang shouted angrily, his face was pale, and his heart was cold.

If Mengyin is breached, then his responsibility must be not small!
In Mengyin City Pass, the battle was raging. For a whole night, Da Xia and Da Ming were fighting. The number of soldiers on both sides was actually almost the same. However, they were attacked by fire first and then by surprise attack.

So, it seemed that Daming was the one being crushed!
Countless soldiers died tragically in a pool of blood.

Some people were even directly cremated into ashes.

That scene was extremely terrifying.

In this battle, Daming suffered a disastrous defeat.

With a hasty retreat, Daming lost half of the [-] soldiers and horses, only half managed to escape and join Chang Yuchun's soldiers and horses.

Such news shocked Chang Yuchun.

None of the generals in the army could believe this.

Thirty thousand soldiers and horses stationed in Mengyin, how could it be said that they were defeated overnight?

The generals guarding Mengyin are naturally dereliction of duty and will be severely punished.

Even, as the main general, it must be the death of the head.

However, even if you do that, it won't help.

If you lose Mengyin, you lose it!

Now Chang Yuchun's situation is extremely embarrassing.

"Where did the soldiers and horses of Daxia come from, and they conquered Mengyin!"

Lan Yu uttered angrily, Meng Yin was very important to them.

That's not just the retreat route, it's also where the granary is.

Now, nothing.

Didn't their soldiers and horses become a lone army?
Alone and helpless, he might be eaten by Daxia at any time.

"We all overlooked one point, we only noticed Lu Yu Qingzhou's soldiers and horses, but we ignored that he could continue to transfer troops from Yudu.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, he may have dispatched troops long before Song Dynasty was destroyed, otherwise, the reinforcements would not have come so quickly. "

Chang Yuchun gradually calmed down.

At this time, what is needed is not an angry commander, but a calm general!

"This army was surprisingly victorious and attacked Mengyin directly. We did not expect it. Mengyin would be conquered so easily, and underestimation of the enemy is also a major reason."

Because no one thought that Daxia would have an army to directly attack Mengyin.

Therefore, although there are many defenders in the city, they don't pay enough attention to it.

"Then what should we do now, Mengyin is destroyed, we not only have no way out, but more importantly, our logistics is cut off, without the food and grass supplies in the pass, we may not be able to survive for five days!"

Sapphire said anxiously.

"Abandon the previously captured land and return to attack Mengyin. As long as Mengyin is conquered and the grain roads are unblocked, food and grass will naturally not be a problem. Moreover, as long as Mengyin is reoccupied, even if we have suffered a disastrous defeat before, we will still take the initiative!"

"It's just that we don't know how many soldiers and horses there are in this Mengyin City Pass."

Chang Yuchun's face was troubled.

At the beginning, there were only [-] soldiers and horses in Mengyin City Pass, and Yang Zaixing still held on for several days.

Now Daxia's reinforcements must be more than seven thousand, and they must be tens of thousands.

In this way, it will be extremely difficult for Da Ming to conquer Mengyin.

If it is normal, then naturally there is no rush, at worst, play slowly.

But now, the food and grass in the camp are insufficient, and can only be used for five days.

Five days is really too short!

"The last general asks for orders to lead the army to attack the city. Within three days, the last general will conquer Mengyin. If he can't, he will be punished by the military law!"

Sapphire clasped her fists, her expression cold and solemn.

"How could it be possible to conquer Mengyin in three days, unless the city gates were tricked into opening, but the soldiers and horses of Daxia were originally captured by tricks. If we want to use tricks on them, I'm afraid we can't Be realistic."

"However, if Mengyin cannot be conquered within three days, we will not have enough food and grass."

"Actually, in terms of food and grass, we can solicit from the local people. In this way, we can persist for at least another half a month!"

"Collect from the people?"

All the generals frowned, thinking about this plan.

After the defeat, there were only more than 30 soldiers left in their army, and the land they captured in Qingzhou had more than [-] people. If they collected food and grass, it would indeed be able to alleviate a lot.

Moreover, it is still summer, and the vegetation is lush.

The war horses can eat the vegetation directly without feeding the grain and grass, which can also save a lot.

"Okay, that's the only way to go now, tell those common people that when we pacify Qingzhou in the Ming Dynasty, we will return double the silver.

In addition, warn the soldiers, at least to ensure that the people's own expenses, must not collect all their rations!We must ensure that their food can last until the autumn harvest! "

Chang Yuchun spoke up immediately.

"Lan Yu, I order you to lead [-] troops to attack Mengyin, and conquer Mengyin within ten days!"

Chang Yuchun ordered sharply, the three days that Lan Yu said just now was too unrealistic, but ten days, Chang Yuchun felt, should be about the same.

"Yes!"

Sapphire let out a loud shout.

"Also, where are Yang Zaixing's troops now?"

Originally, they were the chasing side, but now, he has become the defensive side.

They had to guard against the surprise attack of Yang Zaixing's soldiers and horses, in case they were flanked by two sides.

"It is still staying in the area of ​​Xiancheng, and there is no sign of moving."

"Okay, leave five thousand soldiers and horses as the rear army to guard against Yang Zaixing, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will slowly head towards Mengyin!"
