The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince
Chapter 421 Outside the Central Pass of Weizhou
It seems that the 20,000-strong army cannot compete with the 100,000-strong Dashi Army, but with the current combat power of the Jinzhou Army, there is still a lot of hope to defeat the 100,000-strong Dashi Army.
After all, the 20,000 Jinzhou troops have undergone more than a year of training and are no longer what they used to be. Even if they face the Northern Mongolian cavalry, they can easily win.
"General, should we launch the attack now?" A general on the side looked at Li Yunzhuo and said.
Hearing this, Li Yunzhu shook his head and said, "No hurry, let's wait until night time!"
Although he was very confident that he could defeat the enemy, he did not want to cause too many casualties to himself. A night attack was the best opportunity to kill the enemy.
He said to the deputy general beside him: "Have the artillery battalion find a good position, and when the signal appears, bombard him... Send another 10,000 cavalrymen to be ready to charge at any time. After the artillery fire covers the area, it's time to charge! Send another 8,000 people to guard the direction where the enemy flees, ready to snipe at any time, don't let a single enemy escape!"
As he issued a series of orders, the 20,000-strong army quickly moved.
At the same time, in Weizhou Guanzhong, the five tigers of the Ning family were gathering together. Ning Pojun looked at his four younger brothers in front of him with determination in his eyes.
"Is everyone ready?"
The four younger brothers and seven generals nodded, and everyone's eyes were filled with indomitable spirit and murderous intent.
After being trapped in Weizhou Pass for more than a month, 300,000 reinforcements from the Daxi Dynasty had already passed through the pass. If they did not do something, Dayan might really be destroyed.
But facing the 100,000-strong army outside the city, there are only 70,000 people left in the city. Even if they fight with all their strength, even if they win, it is estimated that there will not be many people left.
But if they do nothing, and wait for the defeat of Dayan, the final outcome for these 70,000 people will be death.
Therefore, Ning Pojun resolved to burn his boats and launched a full-scale breakout. As long as they left the city, they could become a mobile army, even if it could not play a big role.
But harassing the supply lines of the Great Western Dynasty in the rear could still buy time for Dayan. However, the result of doing so is that most of the 70,000 people may die.
The remaining people in the area controlled by the Great Western Dynasty could only hide here and there. Once they were surrounded, the whole army would be annihilated. But they had no other choice.
"Everything is ready. Let's wait until midnight and then we will counterattack with all our strength." Ning Potian said quickly.
The remaining three brothers also nodded, and everyone's eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
Ning Pojun nodded and said to everyone, "This time, we are risking everything. I hope everyone is prepared to sacrifice their lives for the country. If anyone wants to retreat, I will never stop him. You can arrange for him to blend in with the people in the city."
"Even if the city is breached, the Great Western Dynasty will never attack the people!"
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other and shook their heads, their eyes full of determination. Not only would the Five Tigers of the Ning Family not do such cowardly things, but the remaining generals would definitely not live in vain.
"Okay... then everyone start preparing. Remember, we must break out of the city at midnight tonight!"
Everyone nodded and left the room.
Ning Pojun came to the city wall at this time, looking at the Great Yan capital in the distance, his eyes were full of worry and complexity, and a strong sense of self-blame.
If he had been a little more careful, he wouldn't have been taken advantage of and ended up in such a passive and dangerous situation.
If the army of the Great Western Dynasty arrives in the capital, the entire Great Yan will be finished! I don’t know whether the Great Yan side has reacted and stopped the enemy.
Time passed little by little. Ning Pojun stood on the city wall, watching the sun set and the sky gradually darken. It was impossible for him to say that he was not nervous at this moment.
Whether they can break out of the encirclement depends on this battle tonight. Except for half of the people, the remaining half are ready to fight to the death.
The other half was in charge of the three Nings. He was in a heavy mood because he was afraid that three of his five brothers would leave him in this battle.
"Brother, it's still early, you should go back and have some rest. The next thing depends on you..." At this time, a voice sounded behind Ning Pojun.
He turned around and saw Ning Potian, Ning Pozhen and Ning Polu walking towards him. His third, fourth and fifth brothers were the three brothers responsible for covering their retreat.
They did not show any tension or worry about the possibility of dying in battle, and their faces looked relaxed.
"Third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother! I'm sorry for you!" Ning Pojun's eyes showed a sense of guilt.
"Brother, why do you have to say such polite words? We brothers have known since the day we joined the army that it is our destiny to die on the battlefield. There is no such thing as being worthy or not worthy!"
"Yes, big brother, you just need to kill more enemies, take back our share, and protect Dayan! Even if we die in the battle, we will rest in peace!"
"Brother, remember to go back and tell the King of Qin that Dayan depends on him!"
The three brothers smiled at their eldest brother. Their faces were full of relief, and although there was reluctance in their eyes, they hid it all.
"The King of Qin? He is in Nanyue right now, and I'm afraid he can't do anything! If he were still here, I don't know what he would do!" Ning Pojun's expression was a little complicated and a little expectant when he heard this.
In fact, when the Dashi Dynasty suddenly attacked, he had thought that if there was anyone who could turn the tide, it might be the new King of Qin.
But the news he received was that the King of Qin went to Nanyue. Nanyue was too far away from Dayan and too far away from the border. Even if the King of Qin wanted to take action, it would be too late!
"Alas... If he were here, such a small matter would not be difficult for him!" Ning Potian sighed. After experiencing the battle of Jinzhou and the alliance between Beimeng and Dayan, he had already been full of confidence in Jiang Fan.
Unfortunately, no matter how much confidence he had in Jiang Fan, Jiang Fan was forced to go to South Vietnam. Even if he wanted to help, he was helpless!
Thinking of Jiang Fan being forced to go to South Vietnam, the four Ning brothers were filled with anger. However, no one expressed their anger.
No matter what, this was the royal family's business. No matter how shameless Jiang Zheng was, he was still a member of the royal family. The education they received made them not curse Jiang Zheng even if they were angry about his actions.
"If you don't want to go back and rest, just stay here with your brother for a while. Maybe we will never have the chance to stay together like this and watch the sunset again!" Ning Pojun didn't say anything else, but looked at the sunset in the distance.
The remaining three brothers nodded and looked over. The setting sun was not so dazzling because of the clouds.
Ning Po Ri, the second oldest of the Ning family, also came over at this time. It was rare for the five brothers to stay together on the city wall to watch the sunset. When night fell, they were still there motionless.
