When the wolf cavalry soldiers approached the imperial capital, and a panic atmosphere filled the imperial capital, the people in the surrounding villages and towns even fled overnight.
After all, no one expected that the wolf cavalry would suddenly attack the imperial capital. In the face of a sudden turn for the worse, escape was the most important thing.
Prairie Marshal Arslen did not pay too much attention to the overnight escape of the people in the surrounding towns.
Now the marshal who led his ministers to drive straight to the imperial capital, all his attention was on the imperial capital.
While ordering the army to set up camp, he personally led the generals around the imperial capital to observe the enemy's situation.
Seeing the high walls of the imperial capital, moats, archery towers, sentry towers and other defensive facilities are all available, there is no chance to take advantage of them.
Facing the heavily fortified imperial capital, the generals of the grassland also had solemn faces, knowing that it would not be an easy task to take down such a strong city.
"Marshal, the imperial capital has high walls and thick walls, and our army is not good at attacking the city. I suggest encircling and attacking the surrounding areas."
"Only after the food and fodder in the imperial capital is exhausted, the imperial capital will be destroyed without attack, which can prevent our army from attacking and causing huge casualties."
The wolf cavalry on the prairie have first-class cavalry and shooting abilities. In terms of field battles, they are not afraid of any enemies.
However, they are the only ones who are not good at siege, so General Alatan suggested to besiege the city and fight for reinforcements, and at the same time divide their forces to attack other provinces in the Far East.
Now that the imperial capital in the Far East is under siege, Emperor Chen Ziang and the high-level empire have been cut off from the local provinces.
All over the place, there must be a group of dragons without a leader and panic. If they just divide their troops to fight now, they will definitely receive miraculous results.
"This statement is wrong."
As soon as General Alatan's words fell, General Wusi stood up and refuted.
"The strong attack seems to cause casualties to our army, but it is actually beneficial and harmless." Wusi said.
"The imperial capital is the capital of the Far East. Its status and influence are huge. Once our army captures it, captures or kills Chen Ziang, the rest of the provinces will inevitably lose their hearts and fall into a situation where they will fight on their own."
"At that time, the Far East will be destroyed, and the provinces will have no sense of resistance. They will either establish themselves as kings, or surrender to us, and they will have no other choice."
"Leaving aside those who surrender to us, those who dare to become kings for the sake of population, territory and food will inevitably take advantage of the chaos to attack each other. We can reap the benefits and divide them up."
"At that time, the entire Far East will become the land of my prairie son to graze horses. Wouldn't it be great?"
After hearing General Wu Si's words, all the generals also nodded one after another, thinking that what he said made sense.
If the court of the Far Eastern Empire is not destroyed, the various provinces can still be united, which will cause some obstacles to their conquest.
What's more, the important population and food of each province are also concentrated in the cities, and their cavalry cannot attack them one by one.
If the imperial court in the Far East can be destroyed, but the division and disintegration of the various provinces will be extremely beneficial to their occupation.
"Once we capture the imperial capital, the prestige of the marshal will be famous all over the world!"
"There are countless gold, silver, cloth and women in the imperial capital. If we can capture them, our spoils will pile up like mountains!"
"We seized the imperial capital first. If we can force Chen Ziang to surrender, the strength of our grassland will be greatly enhanced, and there will be nothing to do with the vast sea and the Holy See."
Thinking of all the benefits of capturing the imperial capital, the generals of the grassland felt their blood boil.
"But the imperial capital is heavily guarded, and there are more than 100,000 troops fleeing in. If we attack by force, we will suffer great losses." General Zhuoligetu said.
"They are nothing but a group of remnants and defeated generals!"
"If you don't even dare to fight these defeated generals, you might as well go home and nurse your children!" Another general, Barhu, said contemptuously.
"You son of a bitch, what are you talking about!" General Zhuo Ligetu immediately asked angrily.
"I said you'd better go home and nurse your child, coward!"
"Bastard, I'm going to kill you!"
General Zhuoligetu immediately drew out the saber from his waist, and was about to pounce on General Barhu.
"Do you think I'm afraid of you?!" General Barhu also pulled out the saber from his waist.
"Stop!"
Just when the swords were on the verge of breaking out in the big tent of the Chinese army.Marshal Arslen shouted angrily and stopped them.
"As warriors of the grassland, how can you point your saber at your brothers?!" Marshal Arslen scolded angrily.
"Your enemies are the Far Easterners in the city. If anyone dares to kill each other again, I will kill them!"
After hearing Marshal Arslen's words, Barhu and Zhuoligetu, who were blowing beards and staring, had to stop.
"Tomorrow, send someone to send a letter to the Emperor of the Far East in the city, ordering him to leave the city and surrender within one day, otherwise, the day the city is destroyed will be the day of his death!"
In the end, Marshal Arslen couldn't resist the huge temptation of the imperial capital, and decided to fight to bring it down.
"All ministries will start tomorrow. Except for the troops monitoring the imperial capital, everyone else will cut down trees and make siege equipment for me!"
"Obey!"
Following the order of Marshal Arslen, more than 200,000 wolf cavalry gathered outside the imperial capital were also making intensive preparations for the siege.
On the second day, Chen Zi'ang received a letter of persuasion from Arslen, Marshal of the Grassland, asking him to surrender within a day.
Chen Zi'ang was not polite, and ordered Yuan Pu, the head of internal affairs, to reply a letter, scolding Arslen.
"asshole!"
After seeing the insulting reply letter, Arslen turned pale with anger, and tore the letter to pieces on the spot.
"When I break into the city, I will definitely take your head!"
Marshal Arslen roared angrily in the direction of the imperial capital.
In just one day, the wolf cavalry cut down a large forest outside the northern part of the imperial capital.
After a night of jingling sounds, in the early morning of the third day, many ramming logs and ladders for siege have been made.
When the wolf cavalry were preparing their equipment outside the city and preparing to attack the city, the imperial capital was also waiting in full force.
Compared with the crude siege equipment of the wolf cavalry, the weapons and equipment of the Far Eastern Empire army are simply varied.
In addition to those spikes full of nails, trebuchets, bed crossbows, octagonal ox crossbows, hundred-shot crossbows, gold juice and other weapons are all ready, waiting for the wolf cavalry to attack the city.
Li Changqing, the supreme commander on the front line of the imperial capital, did not transfer all the troops to the city wall, but used four banner groups at once.
The first, second, third, and fourth banner regiments under the security corps were the first batch of city defense troops, each responsible for a city wall, while the rest of the ministries were resting in the city and ready for rotation at any time.
In the block near the city wall, the people have been moved to a safe area, and a large number of militia soldiers are deployed here. They are ready to go to the city to carry the wounded, deliver food, and send arrows.
After two days of intensive preparations, the wolf cavalry finally completed a series of preparatory work before the attack. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
