Chapter 1404: Conquering the Outer City

“Three Kingdoms Online Game: The Battle of Princes ()”

Waiting is always so annoying. Nearly 10,000 Xianbei troops were quietly waiting in the darkness outside the west gate of Chifeng City. Just when everyone was getting impatient, a burst of shouting suddenly sounded from inside the west gate. Not long after, a "creaking" sound sounded, and then, from the darkness, you can see that the fire in the city is slowly enlarged in front of everyone.

“The city gate is open!”

“Quick, quick, rush into the city!”

As the city gate opened more and more, the Xianbei soldiers outside the city shouted happily. Jin Muzhen was overjoyed and stood up and shouted loudly: "Quick, rush into the city!"

“Kill, kill, kill!”

Thousands of Xianbei soldiers jumped up, whistling and waving their weapons, and rushed towards the city gate.

Because it was night, Jin Muzhen and his men did not bring too many war horses, and they all put horse bits on the horses and wrapped cloth on the horses' hooves. At this time, all the cavalrymen, at Jin Muzhen's order, all jumped on their horses and rushed towards the gate.

The rumbling of horse hooves startled the Tang soldiers who were still fighting on the top of the city. While they were desperately resisting the attack of the Xianbei people, they anxiously looked inland, hoping that the governor's reinforcements would arrive as soon as possible, but what they didn't know was that Wang Men had abandoned them.

A thousand cavalrymen quickly rushed into the city gate and killed into the city. For a while, the deafening shouts of killing rang out in Chifeng City, while the soldiers near the inner city and the defenders on the north wall were quickly withdrawing to the inner city, because Wang Jing had sent someone to pass on the message to them, asking them to withdraw to the inner city as soon as possible. As for the west gate, it was too late to recapture it.

The Tang soldiers without reinforcements were quickly annihilated by the Xianbei army, and the outer city area of ​​Chifeng City soon fell into a war. Several Xianbei troops rushed into the city and began to plunder everywhere in the city. Although this city would soon become the territory of the Xianbei people, it did not stop the Xianbei soldiers from looting the city.

It was just that the looting of ordinary soldiers was aimless, but Jinmuzhen's troops were led by the insiders in the city and went to the targets that had been determined in advance. Unlike other troops and generals, Jinmuzhen's targets were workshops and craftsmen.

On the wall of the inner city, Wang Men looked at the flames everywhere in the outer city with a sad and angry face. The doors of countless people's homes were knocked open by Xianbei soldiers, and the things inside were looted. Some soldiers threw a few torches inside when they left, and the houses suddenly caught fire.

The Xianbei army's looting continued until dawn, because Morigen's central army had entered Chifeng City, and all the soldiers began to return to their respective teams. This more than an hour was specially reserved by Morigen for the vanguard troops to make up for the losses caused by their attack on Chifeng City in a few days.

The reason why it was only more than an hour was because Morigen knew that his father, the leader of the Eastern Xianbei, the Left Xianwang Mijia, was going to use Chifeng City as the location of his royal tent, so Chifeng City could not be robbed into a wasteland, let alone burned into ruins.

After entering the city, Morigen ordered the soldiers to assemble while leading a group of generals to the direction of the inner city. Thousands of Xianbei cavalry finally stopped two hundred steps away from the inner city wall. Looking at the inner city wall that was much higher than the outer city wall, the Xianbei generals all looked very unhappy.

You know, the outer city wall alone cost them thousands of soldiers. If it weren't for the lack of troops in Chifeng City, they would have been like the Suli army a few years ago, suffering a bloody defeat under Chifeng City, losing generals and gaining nothing.

Now, facing the inner city wall that is higher than the outer city wall, no one present has the intention to continue attacking the city.

Mo Rigen looked at the city wall, then turned his head to look at the generals around him who kept silent, and was secretly beating his heart: "Everyone, tell me, should we continue to attack the inner city?"

As he said, he looked at everyone present one by one,

But whenever his eyes fell on someone, that person would either keep silent or play with the whip in his hand. No one answered Morigen's words.

Seeing this, Morigen cursed in his heart. Last night, they were shouting and jumping to continue attacking the city regardless of casualties, but now they are pretending to be deaf and dumb. However, he also knows that although there are more treasures in the inner city, they will suffer more casualties if they want to capture the inner city.

Another point is that the follow-up army will arrive soon. If they cannot capture the inner city before the arrival of the army, then it will be a waste of effort. Well, Jin Muzhen and I said that the Han people said so.

But if we really attack by force, the losses will be huge. Morigen himself does not want his troops to suffer too much loss, otherwise his position in the Eastern Xianbei will be in danger.

Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked at Jin Muzhen on the other side, wanting to hear what he meant.

Jin Muzhen saw Morigen looking at him and knew that Morigen did not want to attack the city anymore, and he himself did not want to fill the only thousands of troops under the inner city wall. Obviously, the input and output are not proportional.

He has just received the reward of silver wooden needles. Under the leadership of Xiao Yi and others, he has gained a lot. There are more than twenty various workshops alone, and the number of craftsmen at all levels has reached hundreds. If Including their family members, they have already gathered a small number of 2,000 people. With these craftsmen, all they have to do in the next period of time is to occupy a county seat.

Thinking of this, Jin Muzhen Weapon said: "General Zuo, in my opinion, the vanguard army has been attacking the city for several days, and the loss of soldiers is not small. In addition, the inner city is stronger than the outer city. It is better to wait for King Zuo Xian's army Let’s make plans after we get there!”

"That's right, after so many days of attacking the city, the warriors are already very tired, so we'd better rest for a few days and wait until King Zuoxian's army arrives." Qifu Luling said quickly;

"Yes, and we have already eaten meat. There is no way that the subsequent tribes can't even drink soup." Bald Hair Function said even more shamelessly;

Damn it, you drink soup. Is such a solid inner city a soup? It's obviously just a big bone with a bit of meat, but if you're not careful, your teeth will be knocked off. However, since you have expressed your thoughts, can you not continue?

"In this case, I will immediately send a message to King Zuoxian, telling him that we have captured the outer city of Chifeng City, but due to the heavy losses of troops and horses, we can only wait for the follow-up army to arrive before attacking the inner city."

"Of course, because the Wang Sect is too cunning and has already withdrawn a large amount of its finances to the inner city in advance, so our gains are not big. Most of Chifeng City's money, food and materials have basically been moved into the inner city."

After saying that, Mo Rigen glanced meaningfully at the people present. All the people present responded immediately. Seeing this situation, Mo Rigen didn't say much and said directly: "Each ministry dispatched a thousand soldiers and horses to surround the inner city gate to prevent the king's gate from counterattacking the outer city. The rest of the soldiers and horses were stationed first, and Jinghou King Zuoxian's army arrival."

Everyone hurriedly touched their chests and accepted the order, and then followed Mo Rigen to turn their horses' heads and headed towards the place where their own soldiers and horses were gathered in the city.
