Chapter 236 Breaking through Wutu City!(2/2)
No matter how high the city defense is, in front of it, it is as fragile as an earth wall and will fall down if pushed.
In previous wars, many tribes thought of relying on cities to resist, but their only chance of escape was ruined, and they all ended up with their cities destroyed and people killed.
Many tribal leaders expressed opposition to Wu Shilie's words.
Wutu City is the city of the Wutu tribe, and they have no obligation to protect this city.
"This is a mandatory order from Qiu Liju!"
"You can try to continue fleeing north, and you will be punished for treason!"
"So, put away your petty thoughts and think carefully about how to block Qin Yuan's army!"
Wu Xilie directly read out the order from the royal court.
When everyone heard about Qiu Liju, no matter how reluctant they were, they couldn't refuse.
As Wu Xilie said, if they stay, there may be a way to survive.
Once you flee north, there is only one ending: death!
"But, with people like us, I'm afraid we are no match for Qin Yuan!"
A tribal leader said.
This is also true.
They are still aware of this.
Even what Wu Shilie meant in his words was not to defeat Qin Yuan's army, but how to block the attack of Qin Yuan's army and defend Wutu City.
"The Royal Court has sent 800,000 Chishan troops, as well as the Canglang Gulou tribe's army to rush to Wutu City. The reinforcements are expected to exceed 10 million!"
"So, our mission is to defend Wutu City, keep the enemy out of the city, and wait for reinforcements to arrive!"
"I believe we can achieve this if we work together!"
Wu Shilie said.
"The order just came today?"
"Although there are tens of millions of reinforcements coming to help, will there be enough time?"
"Even if the Chishan Army is the fastest, it will take at least three or four days!"
"As for the Canglang tribe located in the northernmost part, it will take them ten days at the earliest to get up!"
While everyone was happy, they expressed their worries.
The reinforcement time they mentioned was based on deploying all cavalry and traveling day and night to reach Wutu City as quickly as possible.
If there are delays on the way, it will only take longer.
Therefore, during this period, they can only rely on their own strength.
"There are about 1.3 million troops from various tribes in the city. Reserves can be recruited, which is about 700,000!"
"The total number can reach two million troops!"
"I believe it will be no problem to hold off the enemy for four days, right?"
Wu Shulie said, "Everyone in our Wuhuan tribe is a natural grassland warrior. No matter how strong the enemy is, it is impossible to break through Wutu City in a few days!"
"This may be a bit risky!"
"To be on the safe side, I think we need to make some alternative plans!"
Someone stood up and said, "Maybe we can find a way to delay it for some time!"
It's night.
In a camp ten kilometers outside Wutu City.
Qin Yuan was sitting in a tent, listening to Bai Qi, Li Cunxiao, Luo Cheng and others discussing strategies to deal with the Wuhuan tribe.
What they were discussing was not how to conquer Wutu City.
Because of the analysis of the enemy's and our own forces in Wutu City, no one thought that it would be difficult to capture Wutu City.
Rather, they were discussing the next step after conquering Wutu City.
During this period of time, although the Wuhuan tribe captured thousands of miles of territory, to a large extent, this was achieved through the use of assault tactics.
There are only two enemies that are a little difficult to encounter.
One is the million-strong army commanded by Wuye.
The other one is the Wutu City they are about to face.
Apart from that, conquering other tribes is overwhelming and not difficult at all.
But after such a long time, the Wuhuan tribe should have come to their senses no matter how slow they were.
Next, what they will encounter will be an attack by a large number of Wuhuan troops.
The intelligence system they deployed only received sporadic intelligence information.
The Chishan Royal Court and the large tribes north of the Wuhuan tribe all showed signs of mobilizing a large number of troops.
The Wuhuan tribe's counterattack has already begun.
Bai Qixiaobian had expected this.
However, there is a serious lack of intelligence. After all, this is the territory of the Wuhuan tribe, and obtaining intelligence is much more difficult than in Youzhou.
Therefore, many enemy actions can only be speculated based on sporadic intelligence.
But speculation is just speculation after all, and it needs to be confirmed by real information, otherwise it will be just talk on paper.
This is also the most difficult point they face.
In order to make up for the lack of intelligence, Bai Qi even sent many soldiers to sneak into the northern border of Wuhuan to inquire for information, and used some caravans of the Han Dynasty, and even obtained intelligence information from some players, and then obtained some real and effective information from a lot of intelligence.
information.
"Hey, Wutu City sent envoys to bring news that the leader of the Wutu tribe, Wu Shilie, and many tribal leaders sincerely expressed their wish to negotiate peace with the lord?"
Bai Qi got the attitude from Wutu City from a military commander.
If there was other news, he might have made his own decision.
However, after all, Wu Shilie is one of the largest tribal leaders in southern Wuhuan, with a high reputation and prestige.
And his attitude was very humble, and he seemed to want to surrender to Qin Yuan.
If you can defeat others without fighting, that might be pretty good.
"What do you think?"
Qin Yuan asked.
"It's easy to change a country, but it's hard to change one's nature!"
Luo Cheng pondered for a moment and said.
"Those who are not of my race must have different hearts!"
Li Cunxiao sneered.
"According to some intelligence, the Wuhuan tribe has sent reinforcements and will arrive in Wutu City soon!"
"The other side only needs to hold on for a few days before they can get a lot of reinforcements!"
"And they cannot be unaware of what we did in Wuhuan territory before, so they are even less likely to surrender to us!"
"So, I guess this may be a reinforcement plan!"
Bai Qi judged.
"Since the enemy's intention is obvious, I have nothing to say!"
Qin Yuan smiled slightly.
Even if Qin Yuan agrees to Wu Shilie's surrender, they will definitely try their best to delay time.
It is impossible to take the initiative to open the city gate and welcome Qin Yuan into the city.
There must be fraud in this.
Even Qin Yuan could see through the enemy's thoughts, and it was impossible to hide them from Bai Qi and others.
"Someone, cut off the head of the Wuhuan envoy and throw it to the top of Wutu City!"
Bai Qi shouted coldly.
Two days passed by so quickly.
The four legions, hundreds of thousands of troops, have once again assembled.
This day is also the time to attack the Wuhuan tribe.
Wuyangyang's army left the camp and quickly approached Wutu City.
Under the influence of the terrifying military momentum, even the sky was covered with a layer of dark clouds!
Chapter completed!
