Once Yongqing City is conquered by the Northern Jin army, there will be no defenses south of Fengyuan City, and the Northern Jin army can directly attack Fengyuan City.
Previously, the army of Northern Jin State assembled more than 300,000 troops to capture Yongqing City. In order to defend Yongqing City, King Yong'an Chen Su sent 80,000 imperial guards and 40,000 Leizhou wing troops, and also recruited 70,000 local militiamen in Yongqing City to help defend the city.
"Has the Northern Jin Kingdom sent reinforcements to Yongqing City? Where did they come from?" asked Yong'an King Chen Su in a deep voice.
Currently, the army of Northern Jin is divided into six routes, among which the army attacking Yongqing City has the largest number of troops.
Gai Wei, the governor of Guangwu Town, said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, the Northern Jin Kingdom did not transfer troops from other routes, but instead sent reinforcements from within the country."
"What? Northern Jin has sent more troops?"
Upon hearing this, Prince Yong'an Chen Su's face suddenly changed and he stood up.
"Your Majesty, it has been confirmed that the Northern Jin State has mobilized another 300,000 troops from within the country. Now, the total strength of the Northern Jin State troops outside Yongqing City has exceeded 600,000.
Your Majesty, should we send more troops to Yongqing City?"
Yong'an King Chen Su said with a wry smile, "I don't have any troops left to reinforce Yongqing City right now. Even the Xiaowu Town has been dispatched to resist the other five armies of the Northern Jin Kingdom.
However, within Yongqing City, there are 80,000 imperial guards and 40,000 auxiliary troops, plus 70,000 local militiamen, so they should be able to hold out for a while."
"Your Majesty, when will the reinforcements arrive?"
"The Ganyang Army, Huaide Army, and Shaochang Army should have already set off. Once these three border armies arrive, the situation will be much better."
"Your Majesty, can the Zhenxi Army come?"
"Mr. Xiao deduced before his death that the Zhenxi Army would arrive."
Gai Wei's expression immediately relaxed when he heard this. "Since Mr. Xiao said the Zhenxi Army can come, then the Zhenxi Army will definitely come."
Yong'an King Chen Su then said to Gai Wei, "There is only one guard from your Guangwu Town and more than 10,000 garrison troops in Fengyuan City now. You must hurry up and train those 100,000 militiamen.
If Yongqing City cannot be defended, relying on only one guard from Guangwu Town and more than 10,000 garrison troops, it will not be possible to defend Fengyuan City."
Gai Wei nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. The 100,000 militiamen we recruited have all been equipped with weapons and armor, and their training has shown initial success.
If it's just for defending the city, it can be used."
