Chapter 468 Awakening
Zhebie stood in front of his original mansion.
Zengqian’s place here was also busy with traffic and people coming and going in an endless stream.
But now, the grass in front of the door is almost taller than a person.
The guards took the lead and chopped off the vegetation with their swords. Zhebie walked to the gate, looked up at the plaque entangled in cobwebs, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
A few years after leaving Beijing, things have changed and people have changed.
Push open the door and stride in.
Behind him, more than a hundred guards swarmed in. These guards were all Jebe's soldiers. They were also residents of this house. They saw that the former home had become what it is now. , they are all filled with emotion.
"Just clean up the front hall and take care of the rest after the war is over!" Zhebie ordered loudly.
I walked to the front hall, pulled over a table, and put the huge map of Yandu on the table, regardless of the fact that the dust on it was at least a finger thick.
As soon as Yandu was defeated, the guards on the city immediately dispersed.
This was what Zhebei had expected.
When the city is being defended, the young men may be able to help, but once the city is breached and they enter into street fighting, the young men will have no choice but to be slaughtered. They are not stupid, so they will naturally run away.
The only ones who are still organizing resistance are the garrison.
The core of the resistance is the Imperial City.
Akdon, Sullivan and their core forces were now concentrated in the palace.
Get here and it will be over.
The Grand Prince's Mansion is only one street away from the palace, so he can command from here. Zhebie feels that based on the current strength comparison between the two sides, he can win the palace in one update at most.
The shouts of killing outside were getting louder and louder. From time to time, you could hear the footsteps of infantry and cavalry rushing past and rushing forward. There were also messengers one after another, hurriedly coming from outside. Rushing over, reporting good or bad information to Zhebie.
Zhebie held a charcoal pencil in his hand. Every time he took a key point, he would draw a circle at that point.
It can be seen that the circle starts from the east gate and north gate and spreads to the whole city. Only the west gate has no news.
“I sent someone there, but no message has been sent yet!” A lieutenant beside him whispered: “I will send someone over to contact you immediately!”
Zhebie nodded. , but frowned while looking at the map.
The occupied locations are too scattered.
The troops are also spread too widely.
Even though there are currently 70,000 to 80,000 troops under his command, Yandu is still big enough, so there is no advantage in spreading it like this.
After the city was broken, everyone rushed in and followed the retreating defenders in a frenzied pursuit, and it became what it is now. The only people I can control now are the tens of thousands of people in front of me.
"Call all the soldiers and horses to assemble in the direction of the palace!" Zhebie raised his head and said to the officer beside him: "Don't fight everywhere, it's meaningless!"
The officer nodded and turned around. Then he ran outside and saw Zhebie's map filled with black circles. He also saw a problem.
Just as he ran to the entrance of the lobby, he bumped into someone who was coming towards him. The man running outside was hit with a nosebleed. He didn't even bother to wipe it, and rushed straight away. Entered the hall.
"Your Highness, it's not good, it's not good!"
The panic in the man's voice made the officer who was about to go out stop and look at the man who rushed in with some doubts. people.
This man is an officer from Dongda Camp. He has seen the coalition forces from both sides this time. He is a very stable person.
What circumstances made him so out of control? Could it be that Xiao Changche has already arrived?
"What's going on?" Zhebie asked in a deep voice. "An Xuan, An Xuan's troops suddenly launched a fierce attack on our army!" The visitor wiped his face, blood was smeared all over his face, but his pale face could still be seen. "Our army was caught off guard and suffered a big loss. Now General Yeli is organizing people to prepare for a counterattack, but now the entire East City is caught in a melee. We are among the enemies, and there are enemies among us. When the general sent me to report the news , and only a few hundred people could be gathered.”
There was a snap, and the charcoal was crushed into pieces in Jebe's hands.
An Xuan!
Why?
Why An Xuan?
Turning his head again and looking at the black circles on the map, Zhebie felt that his eyes were going dark. He picked up a charcoal pen again. He wanted to connect the circles, but every time he started writing, he could not move forward more than two steps. At the intersection, it will be interrupted.
After taking a few steps back, Zhebie finally understood.
It's not that Yan Du couldn't hold it, they took the initiative to retreat and lure themselves into the city.
All retreat routes were planned in advance, and all holding positions in the city were also prepared in advance. Those occupied by ourselves were either deliberately done by the enemy, or they were simply taken. Unimportant places.
Now, his tens of thousands of troops were cut into pieces.
Gathering an army has become a luxury.
Don’t say this is a deliberate move by the enemy, it is just a normal battle for the city. It is not easy to regroup the scattered troops in a short period of time.
Originally, I thought I could defeat my opponent quickly,
Without the enemy, everything was naturally under control.
But now, the enemy has laid a huge trap and let himself step in.
Just why?
Zhe Bie can’t figure it out.
When did Sullivan have the courage and ability to do all this?
When did he collude with An Xuan?
No, all this should be the work of the Beiting Protectorate.
Be it An Xuan or Sullivan, they had nothing to do with each other originally. It was the Beiting Protectorate that connected them through a line.
Zhebie rushed out of the mansion, got on his horse, and rushed all the way to the palace.
Retreat immediately!
As long as you can get out of the city, the sea and the sky will be brighter.
"Pass my order, all troops, leave the city immediately, get out of the city!" Zhebie's hoarse roar made all the guards frightened.
Victory is imminent, why give up these and leave the city immediately?
In the Imperial City, Akodon stood fully clothed on the highest point of the palace city. Next to him was Sullivan.
"Your Majesty, we only need to hold on until dawn. At dawn, our reinforcements will come!" Sullivan encouraged Akodon.
"Can we still hold on until dawn?" Akedun listened to the thunderous shouts of killing and looked at the soldiers who were constantly pouring towards the imperial city, and he didn't feel confident at all.
When it comes to fighting, he is still very afraid of others.
"Your Majesty, no problem, we will be able to withstand it, but you can go down and rest while I guard the front! If they want to come in, they have to step on my body!" Sullivan said impassionedly.
"I will remember your loyalty. If you survive this disaster, Sullivan, I will make you king!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Sullivan bowed hastily. , turned around and ran towards the imperial city.
