There were many candles lit by the central army's tent, but the light was still dark. It was summer. Even though the central army camp was full of people, the insects seemed not afraid of people, and the insects outside the tent were chirping happily.
A group of people in the big tent were excited and were waiting to enter Youzhou City before they could even fight.
Guo Shao was also very moved and said on it: If Xiao Siwen wants to leave the city, then it will be good.
In Youzhou City, the Liao army can fight at most 20,000 to 30,000 elite troops; at this time, the Liao army has nothing to fight.
Guo Shao now has more than 100,000 elite soldiers of the Imperial Army alone, and I am afraid that all the elite soldiers will be needed. The two-sided army in the Palace Front Office can defeat the Youzhou Army.
Once the Youzhou defenders were defeated from the city, the Great Zhou army could immediately occupy Youzhou!
In this situation, the Liao army in the entire Hebei region had almost no resistance. The surrounding states and cities had to surrender without fighting, and they could recover most of the sixteen prefectures of Youyun by hand!
Everyone's eyes were shining.
Those eyes were like a person who had been hungry for three months and saw a table of wine and food.
Wei Renpu took a breath in front of a group of people: I think it’s strange. What medicine does Xiao Siwen sell?
Guo Shao immediately looked at Wei Renpu, and Wei Renpu's words really reached the heart.It's really strange.
But at this time there is no question of underestimating the enemy or risk. As long as the main force of the Liao army does not go south, there is no risk of Zhou army fighting in Hebei with so many people!
Guo Shao said calmly: If you can obtain Youzhou without siege, it will prevent many soldiers from losing their lives on the battlefield.
This is what Guo Shao cares about the most.
Wei Renpu pointed on the Youzhou topographic map beside him and said: The decisive battle is open in the open east of the city.I have two kinds of speculations. One is that Xiao Siwen wants to lure the Great Zhou army to gather in the east of the city, and leads his troops to abandon the city from the north and east of the city to save his life; the other is that reinforcements are hopeless, and Xiao Siwen knows that it is difficult to escape and lose the city and lose the land, and throws away the can and find death...
Guo Shao pondered endlessly.
He wondered if Xiao Siwen, the king of the South Court, still has a way out?
Apart from surrendering, he might be able to live a life of silence, but he should be dead no matter what!
Youzhou is also crucial to the Liao Kingdom. What is the reason why the general who lost Youzhou City will not die?
If Xiao Siwen did not kneel down to Dazhou and beg for mercy, he would still survive, Guo Shao would really admire this person!
Moreover, how can Xiao Siwen survive?
Since you are bound to die, why are you still breaking through?
At this time, Wei Renpu's voice said: I think that tomorrow will be the fifth update, the elite infantry of the imperial guards will be arranged in the east of the city, and the Wenyuhe cavalry camp (east) will be adjusted to the bottom of Youzhou City, and the two wings of the formation will be arranged.As soon as the Liao army in Youzhou left the city, the central infantry immediately attacked; the cavalry on both wings quickly broke through to the back and forth, looking for an opportunity to seize the east gate of Youzhou.If the city gate is closed, the army outside the city will be encircled and the Youzhou army will be annihilated, and Youzhou City will still be within your reach!
Deputy Envoy Wei had a saying that was reasonable.Guo Shao's eyes were sharp and his speaking was fast, but his mouth was very clear. As long as the Liao army left the city, it would be like taking a piece of food.Our primary goal is Youzhou!As long as the Liao army is willing to leave the city, you can do whatever you want!
In Guo Shao's opinion, Xiao Siwen is indeed dead, but now he is afraid that he will really want to fight the world and seek survival. He is one of the greatest desires of people.
Guo Shao had a clear idea and said seriously: In order to prevent everything from happening, the cavalry camp in the north was mobilized to the east of the city to set up a formation.Give Xiao Siwen the greatest hope to avoid him being hesitant.After all the Liao army left the camp and the two armies fought, Dong Zunhui's Hu Ben army's right wing light cavalry quickly headed north to prepare for the dike to prevent Xiao Siwen from breaking through!
Your Majesty is wise!
I will obey the order!
...That night, Guo Shao actually had a little insomnia.The insomnia tonight was not because of worry. As the war ended, I really couldn't think of any reason to worry; he was excited and expectant.
He got up before dawn the next day, and he didn't sleep well.Guo Shao asked Lu Chengyong to bring in a basin of cold water, bury his face in the basin and wake up, then put on his clothes and armor, and hung his sword around his waist.
He drank a bowl of vegetable porridge and rode around to patrol.The fires in the camps of the various soldiers were not extinguished, but they were already lively and very noisy.A general shouted in the distance: Eat half full, don’t eat too much!
This was Guo Shao's order when he led his troops in the past. He set some minor rules. He is indeed a person who pays attention to details.
Because after eating, the blood is concentrated in the intestines to digest, it will cause insufficient energy... It is simpler to use folk words: be lazy and hungry!
The troops were ready to go out to the camp in formation and set up formations to the east.
Each battalion had a large banner, but the torches were not bright enough and they could not see clearly. Many messengers shuttled between the various formations to communicate the directions of the numbers of each unit.
Guo Shao also came to the battlefield with the army, and tens of thousands of them were already a huge scene.
The genius was just bright, the sun was far from rising, the air was moist, and a thin layer of mist was shrouded in the air.
Guo Shao looked west and saw the shadow of the tall city tower in Youzhou City.
In this hazy fog, the city tower looks even taller and more majestic, giving people the illusion of standing in the clouds.
The military formation is still far from Youzhou City, leaving enough space for the Liao army to leave the city to line up.The troops were waiting while setting up their formation.
After a long time, suddenly, the torches in the distance rushed out.Someone immediately reported: The Liao army has left the city!
Guo Shao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what trick Xiao Siwen made, he wanted Youzhou!
There were more and more fires in the distance, and a large number of Liao army infantry and cavalry surged out of the city in groups. The Liao army really had to fight to the decisive battle!Guo Shao sat on the horse, watching the scene ahead calmly and expectantly.
After a long time, a cavalry suddenly rushed from the north and headed straight for the highest square yellow flag of the Great Zhou army.
While jumping off the horse, the knight said anxiously: Your Majesty, the west gate of Youzhou is wide open, and the Liao cavalry rushed out of the city!
Guo Shao was stunned after hearing this. This matter was expected, and it seemed to be unexpected.
Xiao Siwen really wants to break through?
……
At the West Gate, Liao army and horses flocked out!The sound of horse hooves completely broke the tranquility of the morning, and the large group of people rushed to the northeast.
Xiao Siwen rode out of the city on horseback, watching the scene in the wilderness. The Zhou army's siege fortifications were more than half a mile away from the city wall; because it was too close, it was going to be attacked by heavy weapons on the city.
The circumference is greater than the circumference of Youzhou City, and it is estimated to be fifty miles!
The Zhou army surrounded three sides on the 50-mile front. Even if there were 200,000 troops, they could not deploy heavy troops everywhere!
And his elite soldiers gathered in the east of the city. Xiao Siwen believed that using the elite cavalry to concentrate their troops to break through a defense line, he would almost certainly succeed!As long as it is fast enough and not surrounded by the Zhou cavalry, it is still possible to run away.
Kill... The Liao cavalry rode their horses and rushed forward.
The Youzhou army was trapped in the lonely city, and knew that reinforcements were hopeless, so their morale was extremely low.
However, once you want to break through, your morale will increase. After all, everyone is trying to survive!
Xiao Siwen shouted: Youzhou is no longer defensive. The Liao army attacked two groups and fought to the death with the Zhou army!
The generals only rush hard, what can they fight to the death?As long as you break out of the siege, everyone will understand clearly and have the idea to just hold the king and run north!
The exciting iron horse roared and the speed of lightning charges, the blood on the battlefield ignited again.
But Xiao Siwen was not happy. He looked at the hazy road ahead, first of all, the fortifications of the Zhou army, and then blocked the siege and pursuit of the cavalry. The grassland farther away was also full of danger... The road ahead was full of thorns, which made people feel very heavy.
He looked back at Youzhou. This ancient city left too many... the family that could not be taken away, and the power of the Great Liao Kingdom that could not be taken away!
Bang bang bang bang... In the night sky, the sound of strings sounded densely, and a faint rain of arrows was flying.Teams of knights galloped in front of the wooden fence of the Yellow River on earth walls and fired arrows.Fires shone everywhere, and shouting everywhere.
A group of cavalry dismounted and carried the refusal to the camp gate. Behind the wood of the camp gate, rows of archers took turns to shoot arrows.
There is a village gate after a section of fortifications. Zhou Jun built this fortification not mainly for defense, but for attack, and there must be a convenient place to enter and exit.
There is also a wooden arrow tower inside the village gate.Xiao Siwen looked up and saw two archers stomping, desperately shooting arrows downward.
The Liao cavalry braved the rain of arrows and rushed to the gate of the village. Some people kept getting caught by arrows and horses, and horses were neighing and kneeling on the ground, and it was a tragic situation.
But the Liao cavalry rushed to the gate of the village. Some shot arrows from inside, and some shouted and smashed the gate of the village with iron buds.
Another soldier climbed to the top of the village gate, suddenly screamed, and was shot in the abdomen, fell off from it, curled up on the ground and shouted at his biological mother.
Xiao Siwen looked back and forth. The earthen walls were covered with people everywhere.
At this moment, a cavalry rushed over and shouted: King, there is a village gate in the north that has been captured by us, the king will leave first!
After hearing this, Xiao Siwen slapped the horse and left. Abudi, who was beside him, followed him loyally and kept his iron bones. Even the Han official Fan Zhongyi put on his armor and followed Xiao Siwen to the north like a fire pit.
Xiao Siwen galloped to the gap, and he saw the gate of the village open.
The Liao cavalry was swarming in, and a team of Zhou infantry rushed up in a mess without knowing their lives and death. They were immediately divided and dispersed by the cavalry. The iron sword spear was condescending, and screamed in pain.
The Zhou army on duty on the second line of defense was even thinner, and they were unable to gather troops in a hurry.Even if they gathered, the Liao army could still avoid it by relying on its own opportunity.
Xiao Siwen rushed forward with a large team of horses, unstoppable.The horse team was riding and shooting, and the living creatures near the horse soldiers were shot into sieve by the fast-running cavalry!
But when you cross the defense line, you have to deal with the Zhou cavalry on the vast plains to the north.Only by passing the victory can Xiao Siwen pass the first gate of hell!
He looked back again, which was also a look back many times.Youzhou City was surrounded by vast firelight, maybe this was his last look at the city.
A group of people in the big tent were excited and were waiting to enter Youzhou City before they could even fight.
Guo Shao was also very moved and said on it: If Xiao Siwen wants to leave the city, then it will be good.
In Youzhou City, the Liao army can fight at most 20,000 to 30,000 elite troops; at this time, the Liao army has nothing to fight.
