Chapter 269 Siege
The original intention of the construction of the secret passage that the Mu Liao nobles left in the city was to preserve a trace of blood in the life-and-death official strife.

It was originally a secret passage to save the lives of descendants, so naturally it couldn't cover too many Chetuo people entering the city.

Therefore, the secret passage leading to the city in the hands of King Che Tuo can only be regarded as a trump card played at a critical moment.

Outside the city, the Chetuo people's offensive was in full swing.

Their hands were stained with the blood of Pao Ze, and instead of resentment, those big cannibals who were the first dead soldiers were dedicated to serving the Chetuo people with all their hearts, and only wanted to be better than their compatriots.

The top of the head is impenetrable falling rocks, and the bottom is the brave and fearless first boarding camp. Fortunately, Shanggu City has been fighting endlessly for years, and the guards in the city are all elite fighters, so there is only a short period of turmoil. Hold your ground.

"Your Majesty, first board the camp with heavy casualties, and if this continues, I'm afraid..."

Looking at the foot of the city wall, King Chetuo's personal guards said worriedly.

King Che Tuo looked up at the sky.

"I know that you quickly sent people to send orders to all the ministries to withdraw the troops. The whole army retreated three miles to set up camps and repairs, and arranged for the soldiers in the camps to watch the night. Don't let the Shiyu people steal the camp."

"Then ask the archers to shoot letters into the city. As long as the guard is willing to surrender, gold, silver, jewels, fragrant chariots and beauties, I can promise him anything I ask. If you don't surrender, the day you break the city will be the day you slaughter it. "

King Che Tuo knew that there was no rush at such a time. After all, the great victory a few days ago took advantage of the big cannibal's unpreparedness, and it was the normal state of siege to be as stalemate as today.

According to the danger of the three mountains in Shanggu City, as long as there is no problem in the mind of the defender, there must be no hope of conquering it in a short time, and the best choice is to be prepared for a protracted war.

As for the secret passage leading to the city, it is far from the time to activate it.

……

The guards of Shanggu City, who had been fighting for an unknown amount of time on the top of the city, suddenly felt the pressure lighten. When they realized it, on the distant horizon was the retreating enemy army like a tide.

"The Chetuo people have retreated, my lord, the Chetuo people have retreated!"

The city guard suddenly cheered, but the guard surnamed Zheng just held the plain knife in his hand that had been cut into a curling blade in a daze, and it took a long time before he finally let out a breath.

"My lord, do you think we should take advantage of the retreat of the Chetuo people and go out of the city to take advantage of the victory—"

Someone looked excited at the chaotic front camp, but Zheng Xin slapped him before he could say anything.

"Chasing, chasing, are you chasing after it with your life?"

Zheng Xin spat out a mouthful of blood, and beat the man's helmet bitterly.

"Didn't you see the yellow-toothed banner of the Chinese army? This time the Chetuo people are leading the army, but the Chetuo king. This person has experienced many battles, and he will make such a low-level mistake when withdrawing the army?"

"It's clear that the former army is being used as an abandoned child, and they are luring me into the bait!"

Zheng Xin let out a sneer and explained King Chetuo's plan in one sentence, appearing full of confidence.

"Tell my brothers that it's good to rest, but you must not let your guard down. In addition, we will find some young and strong guys and divide them into three shifts to patrol through the night, beware of sudden attacks by the Chetuo people in the middle of the night."

But he thought of going with King Chetuo.

"only!"

The generals also seemed to be impressed by Zheng Xin's confidence. Hearing this, they stood up solemnly, and slammed their hands on the breastplate in response.

"Now that you've heard everything clearly, let's go down and rest!"

It wasn't until the crowd dispersed that Zheng Xin finally regained his composure.

He knows how difficult it is to defend the city. Today, King Chetuo made a tentative feint attack, and thousands of corpses have been left in the city. Although most of them are Chetuo people, there are definitely not a few Shiyu people who died or were injured. .

What's more, King Che Tuo led an army thousands of miles to attack, which cost a lot of manpower and material resources, so how could he withdraw easily.

It is conceivable that the real battle is yet to come!
At the moment, we can only hope that His Majesty can transfer the defenders from other counties in time.

Zheng Xin is not optimistic about this.

There is no other reason, and there is a big food staring at the side.

The big cannibal lost five counties this time, and lost half of his territory at once. It is conceivable that the big cannibal will never let it go.

If Shi Yu hadn't stabbed him in the back, maybe the two sides would have joined forces to attack Che Tuo, but King Shi Yu was so blinded by Yuan County's capture that he actually beat Che Tuo and Shi Yu while they were fighting fiercely. Reservoir dogs.

Now, Da Shi and Shi Yu, who were originally feuds, had no room for relaxation.

Now that Che Tuo has turned to fight Shi Yu, it is impossible for the Dashi King to stand by and watch.

It's just that the Chetuo people wiped out the main force of Fang under the king's city. The Dashi King obviously didn't have the courage to compete with the Chetuo King in a short time, so it became almost inevitable to bite two pieces of meat from Shi Yu's body. possible.

Zheng Xin's guess was right, King Chetuo's army had just set off, and King Dashi began to receive Pei Miaode's envoys almost at the same time.

Pei Miaode's attitude was very tough. Not only did he want the King of Food to recognize Che Tuo's legal possession of those newly occupied lands, but he also asked the King of Food to send troops to attack Shiyu together.

If King Dashi dared to do something behind the scenes, the Chetuo Kingdom had tens of thousands of soldiers at the border, and they would definitely attack them with all their strength. King Dashi was so angry that he wanted to kill the envoy on the spot, but he was stopped by the ministers in the court down.

At this stage, Dashi obviously does not have the strength to fight against Che Tuo Kingdom. It is better to watch Che Tuo and Shi Yu go dog to dog. If both sides suffer, it will give Da Shi Kingdom a chance.

Even if Che Tuo wins and can bite off a piece of meat from Shi Yuguo, Da Shi can make up for some of the losses in the first battle at the beginning of the year.

In the face of right and wrong and dignity, Da Shi Wang still chose the benefits he got very honestly.

Of course, the Chetuo Kingdom did not let down their vigilance, there were [-] soldiers in the Beijing camp, responsible for defending the capital, if the King of Food dared to fight back, Pei Miaode would personally lead the army to resist foreign enemies.

Shiyu Kingdom is now in a dangerous situation surrounded by enemies on three sides, but Shiyu King still feels very good about himself, immersed in the singing and dancing described by his courtiers, without realizing that the danger is coming.

……

"Report, Your Majesty, the Shi Yu defenders did not catch up!"

Shanzhong, who was in charge of leading a partial master, rushed back and knelt down on one knee to return to King Chetuo.

"It's also a man who knows how to fight."

King Che Tuo felt a little regretful, and it would not be a pity to be attacked by using the former army composed of big cannibals as bait. In other words, King Che Tuo would be very happy if he could take the opportunity in exchange for the possibility of killing Shi Yu's defenders in one go.

"It looks like this battle is about to be fought. Let the soldiers who wrote the letter move faster. Before dark, I want to see the letter of persuasion shot into the city."

It's just that this also aroused his desire to subdue that guard.
