Be a reckless man in the martial arts word game

Chapter 378 The land is lost and the people are lost, and both the people and the land are lost.

The merchant army was besieging the city, with a total of 30,000 troops stationed at the south gate.

When they saw the South Gate flag was broken, they marched at full speed and launched an siege formation.

When the merchant armies in the other three directions received the summons from the southern army, they all gave up their own affairs, focused on the south, and moved closer there.

When Le Yifu saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly called for the Chinese army staff officer and asked him to see what happened at the south gate.

The Chinese army staff officer glanced at the south gate with his divine will, "seeing through thousands of miles", and collapsed to the ground in fear.

He knew the bald man in the picture!

"Walker! It's Walker! He has broken through the south gate and is pushing open the south gate to welcome the merchant army into the city!"

Le Yifu said angrily: "Where is General Qiu Hong?"

The Chinese army staff searched for a long time and finally found General Qiu Hong.

"He...he...died in battle!"

"waste."

Le Yifu rushed to the south gate while mobilizing troops from all sides.

"Order, all the troops in the general office gather at the south gate and follow me to kill the merchant army."

"Please ask Holy Lord Dagger to stop the traveler, and don't let him kill our general."

……

Chu Junhui and his clones destroyed the heavy crossbow array of the southern defenders, allowing the merchant army to approach the southern gate with minimal losses.

Moreover, he seized control of the south gate in advance and opened the south gate wide, allowing the army to move forward without any hindrance.

As the Shang army's backup kept up, the pressure on Chu Junhui's various clones dropped sharply. The Wei and Yue allied forces began to retreat steadily and gradually moved inside Jiahe Pass.

"Chasing?" Chu Jun asked Qu Xiangyao who had already rushed to the south gate.

He shook his head, indicating that he was in no hurry to advance.

"We killed a lot of people from the Wei-Vietnam coalition in the battle at Ximen, and a lot more in the battle at Nanmen. But if we join forces now, we still have almost 300,000 soldiers to fight."

"Our western army has a lot of wounded soldiers. The total effective combat strength of the entire army should be 150,000, which is still much less than the opponent."

"Moreover, when fighting in a narrow place in the city, the military formation cannot be deployed. It is difficult for the travelers to gain a chance of victory by disrupting the opponent's formation. In a frontal battle, the chance of victory is slim."

"How to do it?"

"So that travelers can rest assured. I have buried the Shen army in the north and have not allowed them to come to the south gate to join forces with us. When the north gate is empty, they will seize the gate and change the flag."

"Since Le Yifu has lost his face and still chose not to come out after many attempts by us, it shows that he cares about the survival of Jiahe Pass. He only lost a southern city gate, and he will definitely want to take it back."

"But the Western Army who is with his commander has been completely defeated in the battle just now. Their morale is low and they are not fightable men. Therefore, if he wants to recapture the South City Gate, he will definitely mobilize the garrison troops from the north and east directions. "

"We have the power to overwhelm the city. Wei Yue's spies will have a wrong estimate of our number. They will overestimate the number, and the number is almost 200,000."

"Le Yifu saw me smashing the pot and demolishing the camp, thinking that I was fighting against the odds, so he wanted to overestimate our morale and combat strength by three points, and wanted to eat us more than ten or two hundred thousand, and also take advantage of the southern city wall The merchant army, he must gather at least 250,000 soldiers."

"And more."

"I concluded that the number of people staying at the north gate of Jiahe Pass at this time was no more than 10,000 people. I left more than 25,000 soldiers there and asked them to build a small number of siege equipment last night, and then slept until the sun rose. Wake up again.”

"When you come out of the cage at this time, like a lion swaying its temples, it is not difficult to seize the north gate."

It is worth mentioning that the general in charge of attacking the North Gate was General Zheng Min. This boy was forced to issue a military order... If he could not attack the North Gate, he would not have to come back.

No matter what, for the sake of his own life, this person will be twelve times more determined to do this. …

The Holy Lord Dagger rushed to the south city gate in a hurry.

He drew his sword and looked around at a loss... There was not a single merchant army around, but there were many defeated troops of the Wei-Vietnam coalition.

After some questioning, he found out that the merchant army had gathered at the South City Gate, becoming very Buddhist, and was not in any hurry to seize more places in Jiahe Pass.

He breathed a sigh of relief... He no longer had to fight the traveler!

What does "you go and stop the traveler" mean?

The traveler has defeated Xu Canshan, and even the Tai Chi diagram cannot stop him. If I could stop him, I wouldn't be ranked only seventy-nine among the saints.

After waiting for a while, Le Yifu arrived with his army.

He quickly frowned when he saw the harmony in the south. The other party seemed to have given him the choice of "fight" or "not fight".

If he fought, he would have to approach the wall of the south city gate. In the process, the opponent could easily use arrows to consume their numbers.

And it’s not as easy as getting close to the base of the city wall. Although you can take the stairs to seize the city tower from the inside, you don’t need to take a ladder to climb up, but the stairs are very narrow, and the widest one can accommodate three people at a time. If you put a walker on the opposite side at the entrance of the stairs, That is simply one man blocking the way and ten thousand men unable to open it.

"Aren't you going to fight..." Le Yifu shook his head.

He had no choice but to fight. He didn't know which one would support faster, Buddhism or Confucianism and Taoism. If he couldn't recapture the South Gate as soon as possible and occupy the entire Jiahe Pass, and the Buddhist Arhats got in through the opening of the South Gate, the Wei-Vietnam coalition would suffer.

Jiahe Pass cannot be given away. After giving up, the Shang army will have a place to establish itself. Even if the Buddhist masters lose once in the melee of the three religions, their army will not be defeated directly.

Because they can hold Jiahe Pass and have the national destiny barrier, the Holy King and the real person can't do anything against the hundreds of thousands of merchant troops.

Le Yifu organized a large army and began rounds of siege operations.

……

The Wei-Vietnam Allied Forces are in the temporary commander's camp.

"What? The North Gate Tower is lost!" Le Yifu spat out a mouthful of blood, which splashed three feet away.

The South City Gate has not been recaptured even after exhausting efforts, but the North City Gate is lost again?

The successive blows left Le Yigu in a daze for a long time.

He was a little unsure and didn't even dare to make decisions anymore.

The North City Gate has been lost, and there are not many garrisons on the east and west sides. Will it also be lost? Should I withdraw my troops and return to defense?

After withdrawing their troops, will the Nanmen merchant army take advantage of the victory to pursue and occupy more places in Jiahe Pass?

Should we withdraw our troops to the north and recapture the North City Gate, or should we divide our troops from east to west and occupy both sides first?

... Le Yifu thought of a lot, but at this time he was "more resourceful and less decisive" and had lost his clear understanding of the overall situation, so he did not dare to make any moves.

A shadow of a person appeared in his mind, and he instantly regarded this person's name as a life-saving straw, and couldn't help shouting:

"Quick! Invite the queen here!"

After the female gentleman arrived at the handsome camp, she still had only one suggestion.

"Retreat, I will break up the rear."

"Jiahe Pass surrendered?" Le Yifu felt his heart bleed.

"Jiahe Pass is the land of the Shang Kingdom and is full of merchants and people. Now the Shang Army occupies the 'south' and 'north', while our army occupies the 'east' and 'west'. The people's support is not there, and the defeat is certain. If they continue to wear it out, they will also give the opponent More opportunities."

"If you save land, you will lose people, and everyone will lose. If you save people, you will lose land, and you will gain both people and land. Le Shuai, make your decision."

Le Yifu was silent for a long time.

"...How many soldiers will the queen need after her death?"

"You don't need soldiers, I can do it alone, but Le Shuai has to entrust me with the remaining half of the soldier symbols."
