Chapter 716 Become a Monkey

5days ago traverse Novels 2
The cannons outside Youzhou City have never stopped, and the whole city is trembling.

There was no one on the street, and the huge city seemed to have become a dead city!

Only the army was mobilizing in groups from time to time.

There was a smoky mess on the top of the city, and the smoke filled the walls, and the walls collapsed in a mess.In the air, a pigeon swooped down into the city in panic.

Gugugugu!A Khitan man with hair spread his hands into the pigeon cage and grabbed the gray pigeon that had just flew in. Seeing something tied on his legs, he hurriedly took it down carefully and turned around and said, "Feed food, I'm going to report the news."

Xiao Siwen was standing on a pavilion, watching the stones rolling down on the city wall in the distance.Standing left and right were the civil and military officials such as Xiao Abudi and Fan Zhongyi, and a group of infantry and cavalry guarding the pavilion.

A common Khitan came over and said a few words below, and then a general took him up the narrow wooden staircase to the platform.

Xiao Siwen took the place and looked at it, and said: Both cavalry battalions of Zhou army have gone south, and a large number of infantry outside Youzhou have also evacuated south.

It seems that Yelu Xiu Ge made a noise in the south, and our threats suddenly became much smaller.Fan Zhongyi said.

Xiao Siwen nodded without saying a word.

The principle of sending pigeons is that they will fly home. Xiao Siwen was prepared for the purpose of sending messages when he was besieged, and mainly feeding the pigeons in two places, Youzhou City and Tanzhou.

Needless to say, the importance of Youzhou City is also a key place because it controls the northern entrance.

Now that Youzhou City is surrounded, the Liao army scouts outside can still send messages back through carrier pigeons.

Xiao Siwen can also pass the news to Tanzhou... but cannot pass the news directly from the air to Yelu Xiuge.

(After all, the pigeon is not an airplane.)

Xiao Siwen pondered for a moment and said: He used a pigeon from Tanzhou to send a letter to him and wrote, "Thank you Brother Xiu, Master Zhou's main force advances south."

Obey orders.The man who had just climbed upstairs bowed.

Fan Zhongyi said: The Zhou army transferred a large number of infantry and cavalry from Youzhou, and there was a big gap in the siege in the east. Our horse soldiers could go out from Youzhou to support Yelu Xiuge.

Abudi said coldly: There are not many soldiers in Youzhou. Yelu Xiu Ge is the best in the world and calls himself the number one tiger general of the Liao Dynasty. How powerful he is!We still need to help?

The overall situation must be put first.Xiao Siwen glanced at Abudi.

After the two major cavalry battalions of the Zhou army were transferred, the Youzhou army was indeed not threatened to leave the city from the east; but Yelu Xiuge suddenly went out early this morning, and time was too urgent. Xiao Siwen has not yet figured out the specific situation of the Liao army and the Zhou army.

He left the city rashly and didn't know how to help Yelu Xiuge.

Yelu Xiuge is young and famous, and is arrogant, but he has real skills in using military forces.I still believe in him very much, and the Zhou army is not easy to deal with.Xiao Siwen breathed a sigh of relief, but since he had the chance, he could order the cavalry to leave from the east gate and harass the Zhou army's besieged people.

Abudi agreed: The most important thing for us is to defend Youzhou City.

Xiao Siwen refused to comment.

……

Guo Shao heard that after Yelu Xiuge went south, he returned to Xuanren City yesterday and was no longer in Youzhou.

This place is located in the north of Caoqu and south of Youzhou, and is in the middle.But it was very quiet at this time, and the sound of cannons in Youzhou could not be heard, nor the sound of horse hooves and fighting near the canal.

In the tranquility, Guo Shao looked at the air, but could imagine that fighting and bleeding were everywhere.

In the signing room, there are more than twenty pairs of drawings in a row!

Some maps are very detailed, with a small hill, a forest, and a village above them all marked.

There are also two sets of upper and lower structural diagrams of intelligence systems and the organizational diagram for military order transmission.

The room was not big, and dozens of people were standing or sitting.Some people were writing rustling, while others were facing Guo Shao in silence.

In the yard outside, two or three hundred commanders and officials from the former camp military palace stood in line, and the emperor was inside, and they were all very quiet. Everyone was always ready. Once there was a military order, the orders in the small signing room could be transmitted to the front in the most rigorous way and at the fastest speed... They could be specific to a hundred people!

In the silence, the atmosphere was inexplicably very tense.

At this moment, an official bent over and walked into the signing room, bowed to the superior, walked to Wei Renpu and whispered a few words.

Wei Renpu immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, all Yelu Xiu Ge's troops are still in the northern section of Caoqu!

Very good.Guo Shao said in a deep voice.

Wei Renpu said: Yelu Xiu Ge must have believed that the Great Zhou cavalry were riding infantry in Guizhou and the south. Now he was still in the dark and became a monkey.As long as you hide it from him for a day, it will be enough for him to drink a pot!

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little warm, and everyone said: Your Majesty, I hope the enemy is like a god, congratulations to Your Majesty!

Guo Shao said calmly: It’s still a little too early to celebrate now.Yelu Xiuge had 30,000 cavalrymen, and the Liao cavalry was not vegetarian.Even if more than 50,000 cavalrymen from Li Chuyun's troops set up a decisive battle with him, he would not be sure to win a complete victory!Wait for now.

His bright eyes were filled with nervous attention, but his face was not happy or angry, and he was just walking slowly in place, thinking.

At this point, Guo Shao doesn’t have to do anything, he just needs to wait.But this kind of waiting is really hard to bear.

He wanted to go back and have a quiet time, but he couldn't bear to leave because he wanted to hear the result as soon as possible in the front yard.

After a long time, Guo Shao breathed a sigh of relief again and explained himself: The worst result is to let Yelu Xiu Ge go!

Originally, today's war was not within the strategy, but Yelu Xiu Ge fought very arrogantly and took dangerous moves, and unexpected opportunities appeared...

The original strategy was that the main force of the Liao army had not gone south, but continued to attack Youzhou and put pressure on it; when the main force of the Liao army advanced south for the second time, he retreated to the two lines of defense and continued to waste.

It will last until the Liao army cannot afford it!

It is impossible for Yelu Xiu Ge's little man to cut off the Zhou army's food supply line, and at most it will cause some losses.

Guo Shao spent a lot of money this time, and the front-line cities had stockpiled a lot of food and grass. Even if the rear did not transport grain for two or three months, the short-distance supply line from Xuanren City to Youzhou could ensure the front-line siege!

The only way Yelu Xiuge could actually relieve Xiao Siwen's pressure was to harass the siege army.

But that was not easy. The Zhou cavalry was enough to protect the surroundings; even if he was occasionally attacked by Yelu Xiuge, he could not cause a substantial blow to the army.

Guo Shao thought to himself: I will be lucky if I get this battle, but I will be lucky if I lose it.That's all!

Guo Shao suddenly smiled and looked back and said: What we are doing now can last for thousands of years in the future!I will never forget this great thing with you.

Everyone said one after another: I know the importance of it... I am lucky to be able to share the same hatred of the enemy and avenge the country for the sake of the country in three lives...
