Chapter 709 (1/2)
It was not long before General Zhao and 30000 Zhao family soldiers walked from mingsa garden that Xiao Zimu's order arrived.
One of the garrison commanders rushed to catch up with old general Zhao, and the remaining 180000 troops set out in full.
General Zhao was quite surprised when he saw the garrison commander. If it was the emperor's decision, it would be understandable to assign these people to him.
After all, Xiao Zimu is the first to take charge of the government. Shi Jiajun is still making a rebellion. The 180000 army is the power he can really hold at present.
However, Xiao Zimu made a decision in such a short time and handed over the military power to General Zhao to quell the chaos. This trust is rare.
Zhao Xingwen had followed old general Zhao and found that he had only taken 30000 Zhao's army. He had been worried about how to fight this war.
He didn't dare to ask his grandfather directly, so he drove his horse to keep pace with Wuma Huacai: ”brother Huacai, can these 30000 defeat the Mongolian army?”
Wu Mahua glanced at him: ”how many armies have the Mongolian army invaded?”
”250000...” Zhao Xingwen's eyes gradually drooped. A moment later, without waiting for his answer, he moved up slowly.
Wu Mahua only looked at his expressionless face and just slightly raised his eyebrows: ”then you still need to ask me...?”
Zhao Xingwen smiled awkwardly, ”don't you think you're powerful? It's so difficult to keep the imperial city.”
Wu Mahua didn't show complacency on his face. As always, he had no expression: ”you know it's guarding the city. It's guarding the advantage between attack and defense, but now it's a confrontation between the two armies. I guess old general Zhao also wants to risk dispatching some troops from Hanyang and encircle the past all the way from the back of the new city, so he can fight hard.”
Zhao Xingwen bowed his face: ”Han Yang is also at war now. I can't draw much troops.”
After a moment of silence, Wu Mahua said, ”so it's a hard fight.”
Zhao Xingwen frowned: ”how much is it? How much is it?”
Wu Mahua just stretched out a finger. Zhao Xingwen was stunned and asked, ”there is only a 10% chance of winning?”
Wu Mahua's expressionless face seemed to show a self mocking smile: ”a glimmer of vitality.”
Zhao Xingwen was silent. When he chased out of Beijing, he only knew the war chaos in the frontier. He didn't hear that the Mongolian army had invaded all the way from the new city until he pulled out of the camp.
The severity of the situation was beyond his imagination. It happened that old general Zhao only took 30000 Zhao's army. He had hoped that Wu Mahua would come up with another clever plan.
At this time, after listening to his words, this last fantasy was disillusioned.
That's right. If the 250000 Mongolian army joins the 180000 Garrison Army and the 230000 Shi Family army brought back by Shi Jialiang, it will be a whole 660000 army. It's not easy to crush the 30000 Zhao family army.
In the face of absolute strength, scheming is good for nothing.
On such a thought, Zhao Xingwen couldn't even see the glimmer of vitality in his mouth.
Wu Ma Hua sighed lightly and imperceptibly: ”if you give me 200000 troops, even if there is a gap of more than half, you can match it...”
”Report... Report... Report...”
Wu Mahua was interrupted by the people behind him who rode all the way and shouted all the way.
Zhao Xingwen was listening to the words in front of him. His heart was still murmuring. Han Yang has 200000, but he can't give it to you.
He was thinking, and a figure flashed in front of him. Looking at it, wasn't it the garrison commander of Qingcheng?
As the garrison commander of Qingcheng rode up to General Zhao, a moment later, General Zhao ordered the whole army to rest in place.
Wu Mahua frowned with an expressionless face. At this time, he should move forward at full speed. After all, they delayed more time, and the speed of the confluence of Mongolian army and Shi Jiajun accelerated.
If we let them meet, the battle will not be fought at all.
