The sun shines brightly.
Xiao Siwen stood at the top of the city, looking at the continuous earthen walls hundreds of steps away. The huge Zhou army infantry formation on the front of the city tower would flood Youzhou City at any time like a sea of people.
Tall ladders and tower cars are like buildings built outside the city all their lives.
The surroundings of the city are misty, and they are signs of dust covering the air.Zhou Jun arranged the formation. Although the scene was quiet for the time being, the atmosphere was already tense when the prepared troops were already underway.
The city was not surrounded and there was a wide gap left in the east gate... However, Xiao Siwen had already found out that the main elite cavalry of the Zhou army were divided into two parts, one on the west bank of Wenyu River, the other on the north side of the city.
As soon as he ran out, he was besieged by the Zhou cavalry!
Leave a siege to the city, just to give the defenders a way out and to disrupt the defenders' determination to defend the enemy to the death.
Xiao Siwen saw through it at a glance, and was a little angry: Does Blacksmith Guo look down on him so much and thinks he will escape from the east gate and fall into the trap?!
Just then, a loud bang suddenly came!
The huge cannon sounded like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, breaking the tranquility between heaven and earth.It seemed as if the war drums were ringing before the war!
Xiao Siwen felt that the bricks standing under her feet were trembling, and a stream of white smoke rose into the air in the distance.
Xiao Siwen subconsciously raised his head and indeed saw a round stone coming from the air.
A moment later, Xiao Siwen even saw the stones rolling rapidly in the air with his own eyes, and the whistling of strong wind came from a faint sound.
King, we have to withdraw.Abudi hurriedly advised.
Xiao Siwen pressed the sword and turned around and left.The flags on and under the city wall were also shaking their heads urgently, and a group of soldiers took their weapons and ran from the wall to the ramp one by one.
...In the city tower of Tanzhou, the guard Tao Bin stood on it and silently watched the Liao cavalry moving slowly on the road.
The Han soldiers and Khitan officials around were also watching.
Wang Bin glanced at the Khitan people standing in the distance and whispered to a general beside him: Send someone to see the Emperor of Great Zhou quickly. Reinforcements from Shangjing came, and there were large numbers of palace tents.After we find out the specific number of people, we will send someone to report.
The general clasped his fists and said: Now.
Tao Bin looked calm and calm. After a while, he saw clearly the Khitan text on the flag and thought to himself: Yelu Xiuge's troops may be the vanguard of the Liao army.
At this time, a team of cavalry rushed to the city, raised their heads and pointed at them with horse whip, shouting in Khitan dialect: Yelu Xiuge, Duke of Zhou of the Great Liao Dynasty, the army of Yelu Xiuge, was the south expedition, and the food and grass were ready?The city gate is not open yet!?
Tao Bin immediately ordered the city gate to be opened and walked down the city to greet him quickly.
As soon as the first group of cavalry of the Liao army came in, they immediately drove away the Han soldiers up and down the city gate and controlled the city gate.
After a while, he saw Yelu Xiuge riding a horse into the city with a big flag. His angular face was already fierce, and his stern face was even more awe-inspiring.
The Khitan soldiers on both sides of the city gate pressed their hands and bowed to Yelu Xiuge who was slowly coming in the middle of the road, but there was no need to speak.
Han general Tao Bin led his general to kneel on one knee, clasped his fists and bowed respectfully: Welcome the commander!
Yelu Xiuge held the war horse in front of Tao Bin and looked down at him.
Tao Bin did not look up, but felt Yelu Xiu Ge's gaze from the light of his eyes, and suddenly a huge pressure was pressing on his head.
He calmed down and kept holding his fists on one knee, without moving.
Has the secret surrender to the Great Zhou Dynasty been exposed?!
Yelu Xiugo stood in front of him. Tao Bin was already guilty and immediately thought of the secret matter. He felt cold in his heart and his heart was in his throat!
Yelu Xiuge stood for a while and said, "Are the grain ready?"
When he returned to the commander-in-chief, he received the official document and had done his best to prepare the food.Tao Bin said loudly in Khitan's voice, his voice very smoothly.
You get up and talk.Yelu Xiuge's tone was slightly relaxed.
Tao Bin bowed, stood up, and felt a little relieved.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Yelu Xiuge suddenly asked: Have you surrendered to Zhou State?
Tao Bin was suddenly shocked and looked at Yelu Xiu Ge's face, and Yelu Xiu Ge also squinted his eyes and stared at him.
Tao Bin said: If the last general wants to surrender, how could he stay here and wait for the arrival of the Grand Marshal and the Great Liao Warriors?
Yelu Xiu Ge was silent for a moment and asked again: How much food is there?
It can provide food for 10,000 people and horses for five days.Tao Bin said.
Yelu Xiu Ge's face suddenly changed: This is the size of Tanzhou?
Tao Bin calmly said: Marshal, the Liao army had already aired the treasury a few months ago.Finally, I tried my best to get these food and grass.
Yelu Xiu Ge said coldly: How many months are this?
Tao Bin said: The time for collecting grain in summer and autumn has not yet come, and the people are unable to collect grain due to the war and hunger and cold wars since last year...
fool!Yelu Xiu Ge cursed angrily, took a deep breath, and said coldly, "The official was granted to you by the Great Liao Dynasty, not the kindness given to you by the Han people."
Tao Bin hurriedly said: What the Marshal said!
Yelu Xiu Ge snapped his horse and left, and the Khitan general behind him glared at Tao Bin coldly.
The Liao army entered the northern city of Tanzhou, and Yelu Xiuge pointed out a house nearby and divided it into a military camp.
The cavalry led a few Han people into the market, beating drums and yelling: Let them all leave within half an hour, otherwise they will be killed!
When the people fled, the young lady was arrested a lot again.However, the Liao army did not move the families of Han generals and Han officials in Tanzhou.
Yelu Xiuge walked into the requisitioned central army headquarters and called the Khitan officials from Tanzhou to inquire about military information.
Khitan officials replied: Youzhou is surrounded on three sides, and there is a gap left in Dudongcheng, but there are cycling activities.This morning, the artillery fired from the Zhou army camp and just started to attack the city. There may be more than 100,000 infantry gathered under Youzhou City.The cavalry was divided into two battalions, one on the west bank of Wenyu River and the other on the north of Youzhou City.
Yelu Xiu Ge sneered: More than 100,000 infantry soldiers are only useful to Youzhou City, but they are just native chickens and tiles to us!The cavalry is at most 50,000 cavalry. There is still something to say when setting up a decisive battle. If you want to keep me, you will have a little less!
Although Yelu Xiu Ge was fierce and not pleasant, his tone and momentum immediately cheered up the generals.All the generals said one after another: The general is a Khitan hero and a tiger on the grassland!
Bang!Brother Yelu Xiu picked up a few pieces of charcoal and placed them next to the fire, drew a few branches. Don’t worry about the infantry surrounding Youzhou, if Xiao Siwen couldn’t defend it for a month or two, then this battle would be impossible. No wonder I was on my head!We are trying to catch the grain road on the river, just rob the Zhou people of the army of the army, so as to avoid forcing those foolish men who are mothers and mothers to take advantage of them. At the same time, we are also cutting off the firewood from the Youzhou Zhou army. No matter how many people, they will attack the city without food!
Everyone listened seriously, but no one objected.
Yelu Xiuge simply decided on the tactics, which was very simple and concise.
He has a high prestige and a violent and powerful person. Most people really dare not oppose him, so it is very effective to say that the military order is the only one in the battle.
Not to mention anything else, it is just the anger he slams his face, which can make people intimidate!
A tribal army noble said: The commander said a few words, but he grasped the key points everywhere. He admired me very much.
Yelu Xiu Ge disagreed with this kind of flattery and snorted coldly with his face.
The nobleman was not depressed, as if he guessed that Yelu Xiu Ge was snorting coldly, he should be very helpful in his heart... The nobleman seemed to truly admire Yelu Xiu Ge and continued: The general is worthy of being the number one tiger general of the Liao Dynasty. I firmly believe that if there is a war in this world that the general cannot win, even the gods cannot win!Now the Liao Dynasty is weak, and it is really a disadvantage in Hebei's strength, and it is a situation where there are few people fighting against the masses...
Yelu Xiuge said: Even if there are few Khitans, they are still tigers and wolves. No matter how many people in the south are, they are still Han people.I want you to make sure of this experience with your own eyes!
The generals widened their eyes and gradually became excited. The pair of wild eyes reflected the fire on the fire, shining in the dark, and they looked like a wolf pack.
Yelu Xiuge calmly picked up the wooden stick and pointed at the ground. The Han cavalry were arranged in these two places, with two purposes, and wanted to wait for Xiao Siwen's defenders to ambush and siege when they escaped; to protect the infantry siege that besieged Youzhou City, so as to cut off the direction that raided the Liao army's retreat north.
Let’s take the opportunity to rob here and win over the grain ships on the Ma River.The army crossed the Juma River from the west, avoided the Zhou cavalry, drove south, killed all the Zhou people, and robbed all the food ships.Then wait for an opportunity to return north.
A general said nervously: Go deep into the Juma River, and the surrounding cities of the Zhou army...
I have already said that the only thing that threatens us are the two Zhou army cavalry. What's the use of these cities standing there except for being beautiful?Yelu Xiu Ge said coldly, without any fear on his face. The Zhou army had only more than 50,000 cavalry, less than twice the size of the general. Unless they could surround us from all sides at the same time, would they be able to keep the Liao Iron Cavalry?
Yelu Xiuge was very sure about this... If the Zhou cavalry merged to block the attack, they would change the direction and let them chase after them; as long as the Zhou army divided the troops, they would either keep their mobility and protrude into the encirclement, or find the weakest link to defeat them one by one.
The Liao army was an elite cavalry who was good at fighting, and it was impossible for the Zhou army to divide the troops and get close to him at the same time.
Based on his experience, Yelu Xiuge estimated that the Liao army suddenly drove south and approached the Jumahe and the Zhou army might be able to react... After all, it takes time to convey military information; the Zhou cavalry must also gather to prepare.
When they returned after robbing the food road and choosing a way, it was probably too urgent for the Zhou army's cavalry to temporarily siege!
The main force of the Zhou army's infantry was besieged in Youzhou. If you want to block the city, the distance that can threaten is too short. If it is too wide, it is like giving the iron cavalry a head.
Yelu Xiu Ge observed the flag opposite the door and floated weakly from time to time, and said: If there is no wind tomorrow, attack immediately!If there is no wind or the wind direction is wrong, the ship will travel more slowly, and it will be like a turtle in a jar on those rivers!
The handsome man is wise!The generals worshiped.
Yelu Xiu Ge said: How did you ask the people of Zhou to retreat last year? This time, you asked them to go the same path!
Xiao Siwen stood at the top of the city, looking at the continuous earthen walls hundreds of steps away. The huge Zhou army infantry formation on the front of the city tower would flood Youzhou City at any time like a sea of people.
Tall ladders and tower cars are like buildings built outside the city all their lives.
