Chapter 356 Changes in the Enemy

"What you said is indeed reasonable, but based on my understanding of Your Majesty, he is not a person who is so rational in this kind of matter. It does take a lot of time to dispatch people from Hebei Road or Jiannan Road, but it is not far from the distance from Chang'an City. If you directly mobilize the people around Chang'an City to reinforce my Shuofang, it will not only take a month or two, but from now on, you can only reach Lingzhou in a few days."

Guo Ziyi murmured, but his words were obviously not very credible when Guo Xi's ears came to Guo Xi. However, Guo Xi naturally could not argue with him too much about his father's current situation. In the end, he could only shake his head and prepare to go out to see what was going on in the city.

"Let the soldiers on the city wall pay attention to the movements of the enemy. If the enemy has a large group of troops leaving the camp, we should have a chance."

"Father, even if His Majesty sent reinforcements, I'm afraid that 30,000 to 50,000 people will not be able to solve the problem, right?"

"The ordinary generals and soldiers, 30,000 to 50,000 people, really cannot solve the problem. It depends on who the person is. If I were twenty years younger, the eight or nine thousand people in this city could accompany them to have fun!"

Guo Ziyi said this, but her eyes were filled with endless loneliness.

Guo Xi saw it and sighed. He knew that his father was definitely not talking to him here. If he was really Guo Ziyi when he was young, he would have dared to give it a try with a tenfold enemy.

However, the ability of possessing a war god was not passed on to him, Guo Xi. He knew very well that he was indeed stronger than many generals of the Tang Dynasty when leading troops to fight, but compared with his father, he did not even have half of his ability.

The Uighurs and Tubo people siege the city, not because they were surrounded by water on all sides. They were not proficient in the tactics of the Central Plains, but they just surrounded the city in two directions.

However, Guo Ziyi and Guo Xi both knew that this seemed like a flaw, and it was the trap left by the enemy. Because of the existence of Uighur cavalry, even a hundred people in the city could be known immediately. If Guo Ziyi and the others wanted to break through, it would needless to say that as many people went out, the number of people would definitely die.

As usual, Guo Xi looked around the city wall and found that the enemy was still as leisurely as before, without the intention of siege, and would not mean to retreat.

"Little General!"

"Continue to investigate their two camps, there are more than 10,000 people in the future. No matter what time it is, let me know immediately!"

Although Guo Xi was not strong in front of his father, he changed into another look in front of the soldiers below.

He knew that as a general of the Tang Dynasty, no matter what the result of this incident was, he had to show his due integrity and courage at this time.

After two days like this, nothing changed. Guo Ziyi seemed to have accepted her fate and lay on the bed every day. However, Guo Xi became a little irritated day by day as time went by. The idea of ​​leading the troops out became stronger and stronger. He could only suppress his father and not tell him that he didn't know how long he could last in this state.

On this day, snowflakes floated in the sky. In winter in this area, this is quite common. At night, Guo Xi lay on his bed, looking at the brazier that was slowly burning in the house because of the heating, and calculated how long they could last in the city.

Just during the day, he did something without telling Guo Ziyi, mobilizing almost all his confidants to mobilize the people in the city to see how many strong men could join their Shuofang army.

Guo Xi’s statement is very simple. According to the current situation, no matter what, as long as the city is broken, they will almost die, and at least the men will definitely die.

After they died, they did not know anything, but what would happen to their wives and children? Anyone with some common sense could think of it.

Therefore, Guo Xi's move was supported by most of the strong men. They were willing to join the Shuofang army. Even if they were killed in battle, they would be better than being massacred by the Uighurs and Tubos in the city!

With this calculation, the number of Shuofang Army can be at least 15,000, and weapons and armor can still be collected. However, these people have no combat experience and cannot say how much role they can play on the battlefield.

Since things have reached this point, Guo Xi can't take care of so much. They are all dead. It would be a profit to kill a few more enemies, right?

He planned to send his armor and weapons to Guo Ziyi tomorrow, and let them practice with his soldiers for a month first, and then have another fight to trap beasts. Even if he dies, he must let the enemy know that the Shuofang Army is not that easy to mess with.

At this moment, the door was knocked, and it was quite rapid.

"Little General! There is movement outside the city!"

The one who came was Guo Xi's deputy general. After hearing this, Guo Xi didn't think of any other possibility. He thought that the enemy had known that he had mobilized the people in the city and finally had to attack the city in advance. So he picked up the spear that he had been put on his pillow and pushed open the door.

"How far is the enemy's distance from the city gate now!"

As soon as he opened the door, Guo Xi said this, which made his deputy general shudder. Then he reacted and shook his head and said, "Little General, the enemy does not mean to attack the city, but the enemy is about to leave their camp!"

When Guo Xi heard this, he frowned and subconsciously looked at Guo Ziyi's room. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Lead the way, I'll take a look on the city wall first!"

When he arrived on the city wall, Guo Xi saw that there was movement in the two camps in both directions. Almost half of the enemy troops were moving, and almost all the cavalry were included. Generals with a little experience knew that they were not trying to attack the city. It was impossible for cavalry to attack the city. They were going to go out to camp.

What is the purpose of going out on such a large-scale camp? Guo Xi didn't dare to think too much, because the answer was about to come out.

Although there is still a little bit of a word, Guo Xi had to express his admiration for his father in his heart.
