Chapter 4163: to welcome the king

"Order Zhongkang to return to the camp to change weapons! Logistically prepare the ladder, and everyone will besiege Palayaga." Yu Jin immediately issued a new order after the Kushan Army was taken by Baima Yicong. He was ready to go all out. Take down Palayaka too.
"A direct attack on Balayaga?" Taishi Ci and Chen Dao, who had gathered the formation, were stunned when they received the order, "We don't have any siege equipment at all now!"
"Yes, who said there is no siege equipment!" Yu Jin said with a sneer, "Isn't the cloud ladder a siege equipment? There are no other things, we still have the cloud ladder."
"Since ancient times, who has conquered the city just by relying on the cloud ladder?" Taishi Ci's head was big, "I know that when Parayaga received the news of the collapse of the Brahe army, there would definitely be turmoil, but this is really It is not something that we can take directly by sieging the city, and the loss of Guishuang will probably exceed 40,000, but our own loss is not small, so there is no need to rush."
Although the losses of the Guishuang Army have not yet been counted, Taishi Ci and Yu Jin have some estimates. The 80,000 Guishuang soldiers who came here, including the number of Han army prisoners, may be able to withdraw only 30,000. Up and down, even less than 30,000.
But even if only 30,000 escaped, plus the soldiers left behind by Palayaga, Kushang still had at least 40,000 to 50,000 horses in Palayaga. In this case, the possibility of direct attack was basically the same. No, the Han army does not even have complete siege equipment.
Wasn't the reason why Yu Jin wanted to build a camp before that he had to prepare all kinds of engineering equipment on the spot, but now he has nothing, so he just used the ladder to fight directly. Isn't that a dream?
Is it true that the 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers in Guishuang City, as well as the tens of thousands of local youths, are all waste?
Even if the Han army defeated Guishuang and slashed Brahe, it would not be easy to win by storming Palayaga at this time, not to mention losing, wouldn't that boost the morale of Guishuang?
Therefore, in Taishi Ci's view, it is better to stop and rest for three days, build some siege equipment, and let Kushuang be defeated. , the loss can be smaller.
After all, there are nearly 10,000 casualties in the Han family now. Although the casualties are basically Chen Dao and Yu Jin, who lured the enemy, the shield guard has no casualties except for a few unfortunate children. The white soldiers also lost a lot.
Coupled with Guan Ping, who rushed into the formation, and Meng Huo, who strangled LeBriley, the combined casualties would probably be seven or eight thousand. The strength has also suffered a lot, so there is really no need to fight with Guishuang at this time.
From Taishi Ci's point of view, Yu Jin already has an absolute advantage, and there is no need to fight for victory.
No matter what, there are a lot of Brahmins in Palayaga, as well as some ambitious ones. Brahe didn't get defeated, and those people didn't dare to attack, but now, the Han army sends Brahe to him. Going to see the Great God Brahma, it is strange that these people have no ideas.
Therefore, Taishi Ci really does not recommend attacking Balayaja now. If you can't fight it down, it will make the crumbling Balayagata gain a support point. It's better to stop and wait for two days to get ready to fight with the opposite side. The situation could only be better then.
"Ziyi, I understand what you mean, wait for two days, wait for the news to ferment, there will be a big mess on the Palayaga side, and we take a rest here, prepare more siege equipment, and take it down when the time comes. It's easier for Palayaga to wait." Yu Jin interrupted Taishi Ci directly, and said what Taishi Ci wanted to say instead of the other party.
"Yes, that's what I meant." Taishi Ci explained while chasing after Yu Jin, "We are attacking Palayaka now, the siege equipment is a big problem, and there are at least 20,000 people in Palayaga at this time. , Counting the generals and soldiers who fled back, the young and strong in the city, no less than 50,000 people went to the city wall in a short time, we didn't even make preparations, how to fight?"
"There is nothing we can't fight, we are not prepared, and the other party is not prepared, we can definitely take it with one rush, and we can definitely win!" Yu Jin directly retorted, "We are fighting in the mainland of Guishuang, and we will meet in three days. What happened, no one can tell, take it down in one breath, no matter whether he reinforces the army or not, the problem will be solved first! Execute the order!"
After Yu Jin threw down the words "execution order", Taishi Ci and Chen Dao looked at each other, both of them were silent, but there is a saying that military orders are like a mountain, since Yu Jin has ordered and clearly asked to execute the order, it is a mountain of knives. Also have to rush.
What's more, Yu Jin has just established his majesty on the battlefield, beheaded Brahe, who has been entangled with the Han family for many years, and his soldiers have won the momentum. big problem.
At the same time, Xu Chu, who was at the forefront, was forcibly recalled. The other Han troops chased all the way to the city of Palayaga. Surapuri tried his best to take Helilah, Helan, Carano, Lebrili and others. When I got in, to be honest, I was able to get so many people, more because these people were either six-legged, or they didn't go deep into the center of the Han army.
As for Brahe and his subordinates, they were basically wiped out, and even the headquarters, except for a few hundred people led by Woland to besiege Yang Tuo, Zhao Zhen and others, the rest were all killed.
"What?" Sulapli was stunned when he received the news. He couldn't imagine what was going on in front of him. Have you prepared a lot of means?
"We had already won, and Brahe had even defeated the Han army's central army. If we stopped and did not pursue the complete defeat of the Han army's central army, we would have exceeded our strategic goal." said.
Helilah was dragged back by Yan Lipu, otherwise, with his small physique, he would most likely die with a soldier, or be shot to death by a bow and arrow.
"The Han army has too much control over our psychology." There was even a hint of despair in Helilah's tone, "It's not acting, but really chose to rout, let us choose our own future, and then step into the The prison we drew ourselves."
Helilah's mind is very clear, but it is precisely because he is clear that he is despairing. The reason for their huge defeat and loss is not on their opponents, but on themselves. How desperate is this!
Yan Lipu, Carano and others fell into silence at the time. They could stand at the head of the city and watch the Han army advancing from afar, their faces ashen.
Before, they didn't understand how they lost, and they still complained a little bit about Brahe, and why they encountered the Han army's calculations inexplicably.
They will choose the same way when they are in different places. The most real thing is never drama, but life. Each of them is controlled by the puppet show of life. under control.
"The Han army has given us the choice of victory and defeat. What a mockery!" At this moment, Hlilahe even realized what Banerjee thought at the beginning. With such an ending and such a process, everything I have is really not by the way. Controlled? It's better than committing suicide!
"Let's stop talking about this, first find a way to keep Palayaga." Yan Lipu said decisively, "All the original plans have collapsed, but Palayaka has to be defended, even if it can't be defended, it has to persist. Time, even in order to buy time for the rear, we have to stick to it."
Unlike Brahmas, after Palayaga is passed, it is the essence of Kushan. More importantly, the vast plains are safe to defend. Even if there are blockades by the Ganges and Yamuna Rivers, there is almost no overall trend. What can be stationed at risk.
As for the city, an important town such as Palayaga cannot be defended, and other things can be defended. Only by mobilizing the army to block it, it takes time to deploy troops.
"Even if we die here, we still need at least ten to twenty days. After Balayaga, there is no danger to defend, and we can only rely on the army to block it." Yan Lipu looked at the people present with cold eyes and said, "So, be prepared to die in battle, and support until the reinforcements from the rear arrive, or a new line of defense is arranged in the rear."
"Ten to twenty days?" Lebrary and the others looked at each other.
If there is no previous fiasco, even if they are still the same person, they will not be able to hold on to Palayaka, but they have experienced the previous fiasco, especially the retreat of a large number of soldiers, and now there are rumors within Palayaka that they want to fight It is too difficult to hold on for ten to twenty days under such circumstances.
"Fight to the death," Carano said with a sigh.
However, before Carano could finish speaking, the Han army, which had already approached Palayaga, lined up on the spot and prepared sandbags under the unbelievable eyes of General Kuishan, as if he planned to attack the city directly. Lilach and the others looked at each other with a strange look.
But then Yan Lipu, Carano and other battle-hardened generals restrained their amazement, and quickly commanded the soldiers of Guishuang to use city defense crossbows and crossbows to suppress them.
It should even be a good thing for Yan Lipu and others that the Han army directly choose to attack the city. At least this time, they tighten their minds, and the soldiers have no time to think about it. They will continue to obey the command according to the previous inertia. It's better to stay behind.
At least they can withstand this wave. General Guishuang can at least tell the soldiers that they can hold on. They have held on before, and then they can hold on as long as they listen to the command. Relying on the facts, they can at least stabilize the military heart of Guishuang. It is inevitable to break the city by then, but it will be no problem to last for more than ten days.
"Lebrary, you guard the west gate, the north gate of Carano, the south gate of Sulapuri, and the others follow me to guard the east gate!" Yan Lipu ordered loudly.
Although he was not appointed by his superiors, Yan Lipu was basically designated by Brahe as the coordinated commander. Therefore, in this case, the situation was not prevented from developing to a worse situation. Yan Lipu directly chose one person to be arbitrary. On the battlefield, there were military commanders. Better than fooling around.
What's more, at this time, Yan Lipu was really eager for the Han army to make a move. At least the Han army didn't make a move, but only surrounded Balayaga. After two or three days, the Kushan army of Balayaga still had some fighting power. The problem is, but if you fight now, you can at least fight to the death.
With this idea in mind, Yan Lipu directly gave orders to everyone as a commander without the discussion of everyone present.
"Yes." Labrelli was the first to execute the order. His mind was very clear. Whoever took over the post at this time should be ready to take the blame. He didn't want to take the blame, so he stood up to Yan Lipu. LeBriley decided to leave this place of right and wrong.
The machete cavalry under Lebrary's command did not lose much, and Meng Huo's strangulation, the losses of both sides were not thousands. When they retreated, they were on the sideline. Meng Huo was unable to stop them, so when they retreated, they organized various aspects. It's still complete, the only thrilling thing is when facing the White Horse Yicong.
But at that time, Xue Shao considered that LeBriley was well organized and was still a cavalry. Even if Baima Yicong won, it would still be a loss, so he went around to kill the Kushuang infantry, and forcefully took Yan Lipu's subordinates. The infantry was killed in pieces.
To be honest, it's really a shame that Yan Lipu's mental image can support it, otherwise, let alone withdrawing 30,000, 3,000 are all good, and the light infantry with a collapsed army line, facing the white horse's righteous obedience, is mowing the grass.
LeBrily didn't even talk to the others, and left with his lieutenant. As he walked, he let people organize the headquarters and the young men in the city to go up to the western city wall.
"Yan Lipu..." After Lebrelli led people away from this place of right and wrong, Carano and Sulapli stood there and did not execute the order, until Carano took a deep look at Yan Lipu, led the troops away, and was caught by Brano. He left Sulapli, who was guarding the city, to leave with a bit of resentment.
After the two qualified candidates gave up the fight, Yan Lipu's order was no longer hindered, and the defense line on the east city wall was quickly formed under Yan Lipu's mobilization.
"Yan Lipu, you..." After the other generals left, Helilah had time to communicate with Yan Lipu, and during the communication, Helilah's expression was unexpectedly complicated.
Compared to Surapuri, who didn't understand the situation at all, Halilah knew exactly what Yan Lipu's choice meant - this guy was ready to take responsibility for the fall of Balayaga.
"Someone has to be responsible, right?" Yan Lipu said after a while of silence.
"If no one is in charge, the city may not be able to last for ten days. I think the spies in the city are now confirming that we will be defeated. It should be boiling, and they are waiting to eat the pot of pulp to welcome the king." Helilah didn't speak, Yan Lipu got up and looked outside the city with mockery.
