Chapter 283 282 I am not Zhuge Liang, I can't use the empty city plan

Soon the city gate opened again. This time, unlike when An Xin and his companions went out, the gate was not opened only a crack, but was wide open.

Teams of soldiers who had eaten, drunk and rested enough, marched out of the city gate in a mighty and powerful force, followed by Yuchi Yi, Gao Tai, and Liu Boxing who stayed behind to deliver food and money.

The three brothers, with almost all the troops on the Jibei border, bypassed the approaching Beiming enemy troops and headed towards their rear.

Liao Angkuo, the commander-in-chief of Cangbei City, who guards the border of Beiming, sat in the big tent wiping his sword with a sinister look on his face.

This person is the cousin of Liao Angxiong who led a thousand soldiers and was completely annihilated by An Xin and his men last time.

Upon learning that his cousin had died in battle, he was furious, so he concentrated his forces and launched an aggressive attack, hoping to give Ma Boteng, the defender of northern Ji, a warning.

Ask him to hand over the culprit who killed his cousin Liao Angxiong and thousands of Beiming soldiers.

He wanted to take those people back and torture them to death, and then slow slicing them to death to comfort the soul of his cousin in heaven.

The next day, before noon, the enemy's shouts were heard outside Jibei City.

"Ma Boteng, the defender of Jibei, come out and hand over the group of people who massacred thousands of our soldiers a month ago.

Otherwise, once our army enters the city, we will slaughter all the soldiers and civilians in the city before we stop."

The tone of the person who challenged the enemy was extremely arrogant, and he did not take the soldiers on the northern border of Hebei seriously at all.

It was as if the walls of Jibei city were made of paper. As long as they wanted to attack, they could break in without any effort.

After receiving the report from the soldiers, An Xin led the generals to the city wall, and heard the enemy deputy general's shouting.

He raised his lips and said with a smile: "Who gave them the confidence to be so arrogant and shout out such words? Do they think that my Jibei soldiers are just decorations?"

A group of generals blushed with shame. If Ma Boteng had not been too timid in the past, the enemy would always send a team to provoke him.

He always tried to keep the peace and compromise, which encouraged the arrogance of the Beiming defenders.

Now the enemy has come to his doorstep and he has been stepped on in the face like this. He feels contempt for the incompetence of the captain Ma Boteng, but also regrets his own inaction.

An Xin stood on the city wall, looking down at Liao Angkuo, the Beiming defender who was riding on a tall horse and looking at him fiercely. He raised his eyebrows and showed a wanton and provocative smile.

Seeing the hatred in Liao Angkuo's eyes towards her, An Xin knew that the person she had kept alive that day had worked.

Without letting the enemy generals know who annihilated those thousands of people, how could the enemy commander, who had no target person to hate, lead his troops to Jibei to put pressure on Ma Boteng to hand them over to vent his anger?

When An Xin heard that Bei Ming had captured Da Qian soldiers to be their slaves, he wanted to give them a good beating.

Later, he interrogated the deputy general and found out that the captured soldiers were all sent to the private mine mined by the commander of the Beiming border city. Most of them were enslaved to death.

An Xin's original intention was to teach the Bei Ming commander a lesson, but now he wanted to seize his city.

At this time, the arrogant deputy general was tired, and a general with a full beard rode out from the enemy's ranks.

He laughed with a voice as loud as a bronze bell, saying, "Hahaha, the Jibei generals are all a bunch of cowards. We have been waiting here for a long time, but none of us has the courage to lead the troops to fight.

With this little courage, he can still lead troops to guard the border. Could it be that all the soldiers of Daqian have taken off their armor and no one is a man? ! "

"Hahaha... Daqian soldiers all took off their armor, and not a single one of them was a man." The enemy soldiers of Beiming laughed: "They are all a bunch of women!!!"

The words they spoke became more and more unpleasant. The Jibei generals standing on the city wall were so angry that their faces turned red and their necks became thick. They shouted "Ah Ah" and were about to lead their troops out to fight.

For so many years, because the master behind him did not give any orders, the main general here, Ma Boteng, was traumatized by being captured and did not dare to go into battle easily.

Whenever these bloodthirsty generals saw the Bei Ming soldiers coming to provoke them, they would already want to go out and kill them.

"My Lord, I can't bear it any longer. I will let this general go out and fight these bastards."

An Xin did not show any anger on his face because of the other party's humiliating challenge, and his expression was calm and steady.

He glanced at all the generals who remained on the city wall.

This calmed them down suddenly. Chen Zhiyang patted the general on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't disrupt the strategic plan just because of a momentary anger."

An Xin and Chen Zhiyang looked at each other, both feeling helpless.

Of the 100,000 soldiers originally stationed at the border by the imperial court, nearly 20,000 have been lost due to old age, illness or disability over the years. The number of these soldiers who left or died can be reported to the imperial court and the Ministry of War can recruit more soldiers to fill the gap.

However, the commander Ma Boteng was not only afraid of death, but also greedy for money and lustful, and he kept a mistress.

He also concealed the number of soldiers who were lost for various reasons from the court, just to embezzle the empty salaries of nearly 20,000 soldiers.

Now that the enemy is at the gates, he has been thrown into jail and is waiting to be brought back to Beijing for trial, but he has left this mess behind and wants these people to clean it up for him.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Of the more than 80,000 soldiers guarding northern Ji, 70,000 were taken away by Yuchi Yi last night. An Xin didn't want to be the grandson who challenged him and was called a coward.

But she couldn't be like the general just now, who got hot-headed and took the remaining 10,000 or so soldiers out of the city to fight and die.

Looking at the 50,000 or so troops brought by Liao Angkuo, Beiming's chief general guarding the Cangbei border city, An Xin curled his lips and narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled.

The more soldiers he brought, the better, because that way the number of people brought by his students would far exceed the number of people left behind to defend the city.

It will be much easier to attack.

I hope that during this period of time, we can use the blacksmith to make barbs so that they can climb up the city wall and launch a successful sneak attack.

This bought more time for the soldiers to climb up the ladders and open the city gates for the army to attack the city. Seventy thousand soldiers rushed in like wolves and tigers.

The enemy's defense will inevitably be breached, and taking Cangbei City is just around the corner.

An Xin looked towards the city with a gloomy look. If he hadn't heard that Liao Angkuo was an extremely cruel person.

He was worried that the people in the city of Jibei behind him would be massacred after he captured it, so he would not stay behind to fight against him.

An Xin knew whether the city was empty or not. In any case, there was no empty spot on the city wall. There were strong soldiers standing there, looking down with a fierce look in their eyes.

Moreover, she calculated that Liao Angkuo brought his troops this time mostly to put pressure on Ma Boteng, who had been captured by him when he left the city, to hand over the people who killed the one thousand people.

At this time, there was no intention to provoke a war between the two countries.

Unlike An Xin, he had already informed the old emperor that he would capture Cangbei City and send him a coal mine to keep him warm.

An Xin also wanted to use the empty city plan, but she was more self-aware and knew that she was not Zhuge Liang and could not use the empty city plan.

The 10,000 soldiers left behind fought against 50,000 enemy troops. How brave she was to take the lives of about 200,000 people in the city and pay for her own cleverness.
