On sunny days for many days, the snow had melted.Outside Youzhou City, a team of agile knights ran around the city half an inside and a little outside the city wall. The person in the middle was Emperor Guo Shao of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The black and shiny horse in the fur ran very quickly, as if it was just a joy on the flat ground. The strong war horse brought the speed like the wind, and Guo Shao felt the warmth and wetness of spring on his face.
Around him are his two sworn brothers Yang Biao and Luo Mengzi. They are in their prime and brave and powerful, which makes Guo Shao feel very at ease.
The world is very clear.
The blue sky is like the sea, and the white clouds are flawless.
The spring grass on the ground is not obvious from the close up, but as long as you look at it for a long time, you can see a delicate green on the field.
The brand new nature, the old bricks and stone brown are mottled, as if telling the story of time.
Guo Shao was young and vigorously dressed, wearing armor and a red cloak floated in the wind, and his face was full of energy, ready to do something big!
This is one of the basic territories of Hebei and Jiuzhou.Now Guo Shao is here, galloping unscrupulously, watching the city and the fortifications.
The horse team rushed past the city tower in the south. Guo Shao saw a person vaguely watching from the city tower. He guessed for a moment that it might be Xiao Siwen, the king of the South Courtyard?
At this time, countless people gathered inside and outside Youzhou City, but the atmosphere felt very strange... There was no communication between the two sides at all.
The city gates were closed, and the Liao army was completely huddled inside, without taking the initiative to attack, nor did they have practical long-range weapons... they were not able to reach them.
The Zhou army had not prepared the fortifications to siege the city and did not attack the city.
For many days, hostile armies gathered only at a distance, but seemed to be able to live together.
No one persuaded surrender. If the Liao army in the Southern Court of Liao Kingdom would surrender, it would be a ghost!
No one scolded and provoked, because ordinary soldiers couldn't understand at all, and they didn't know what you were saying!
Guo Shao ran around the city, but still did not send anyone to the city, and went straight back to the central army camp.He entered the tent and strode to the front of the map above.
At this time, the generals handed over the weapons they wore and walked into the tent to pay their respects.
Guo Shao turned around and said, "Everyone is free from gifts."Then he looked at Wang Pu.
Wang Pu stood up and bowed, then turned to face the direction of the tent, and said: The following is the Tang Daily. The first batch of reinforcements from the Liao army in Shangjing had been dispatched ten days ago, and the total force should exceed 35,000 cavalry. Where is now unknown, and it is expected to enter Hebei within five days.
This was the first batch of reinforcements, and the Liao army could dispatch far more than this cavalry.The front camp military office estimated that the Liao army could still dispatch more than 100,000 Khitan and Xi cavalrymen in the later period, and it was difficult to estimate the number of servants of all tribes.
Wang Pu paused and said: Therefore, the Great Zhou army should look for opportunities to defeat the first batch of reinforcements of the Liao army during the siege, and at least block them from outside Youzhou City.
According to Your Majesty's orders, the military orders of the Former Camp of Youzhou are as follows...
Wang Pu pointed to the situation diagram hanging on the wooden frame on one side. On the right, Li Chuyun, the inspector of the Palace Front Office, was the commander and Shi Yanchao was the vanguard. He led the two armies of the Palace Front Office (controlling the crane and tiger besides) with 28,000 cavalrymen.On the left side, Han Tong, the commander of the guards, the commander of the guards, and Luo Yanhuan, was the vanguard; he led the second cavalry of the guards, the second cavalry of the Long Jie Army and the second cavalry of the Hu Jie Army (the left and right wings of the Hu Jie Army and the left wings of the Hu Jie Army).
The main force of the Zhou army's imperial cavalry was 53,000 cavalry in total, and all the elite cavalry were dispatched to deal with the reinforcements in the north; because cavalry was not required to siege the city, the Hu Ben Army's cavalry infantry also had mobile phones, which could be used as infantry, and could barely be used as cavalry, and could be used as temporary reserves.
The total strength of the Tiger Ben Army was 40,000 on the left and right sides of the second wings, accounting for half of the cavalry. The remaining infantry were equipped with mounts, which was the most excellent unit of the Zhou army; the cavalry of the Crane Control Army was about 8,000.
Li Chuyun's troops led these mobile forces.
The Longjie Army was under the command of the Guards and the proportion of cavalry was also very high, with about 20,000 cavalry; the left wing of the Hujie Army was mainly infantry, and each army could gather 5,000 cavalry.The Hantong unit is these people.
There were more than 50,000 elite cavalry in the Great Zhou Dynasty, which was the result of Guo Shao's continued development of military equipment since he took power.Because it is really expensive to raise cavalry in the Central Plains, and there are not many good horses.
However, there were a lot of infantry, and with Liu Renzhan, Gao Yanqi and other troops, the Zhou army had more than 100,000 infantry.
Wang Pu stretched out his finger and pointed at the picture and said: This is Youzhou, and the line to the south is Sanggan River.The line in the north is the Wenyu River, which are tributaries; the area in the northwest is the Xishan... The closest route of the Liao army is to go to the north entrance (Gubeikou), and go south from the northeast through Yàn Mountain, so the elite on the right is placed in the direction of the north entrance.
General Li's right side should lead his army across Wenyu River and go deep into the north to extend the depth between the front line and Youzhou.
Wang Puheng took two steps and continued: Since the right road goes deep into the north, we must prevent the Liao army from detouring from the west mountain and attack our besieged army.Therefore, General Han’s headquarters must operate near Juyongguan (abandoned) and Deshengkou.
There are two strategies on the left side. One is to prevent the Liao army from going south from Xishan; the other is to prevent the Liao army from moving south on the east side. If the main force of the Liao army is determined to be in the north-end direction, the left side should immediately adjust most of the troops to cross the Wenyu River eastward, and wait for an opportunity to move near the river bank to form a north-south trend with the east road.
The four generals took the list together and clasped their fists and said: I will obey the order!
Guo Shao and Wang Pu finished the deployment and then spoke: Within a month and a half, the Great Zhou army took the initiative and had superior troops. You should have the determination to win.
We must also gain insight into the fighter's opportunity and adapt to the situation.As long as you can explain the reasonable motivation for decision-making after the war, you can make a decision on the spot; as long as you are beneficial to the overall situation and win according to the results, you can be innocent of resisting the order in this battle!We cannot stick to the rules and act dullly, victory is the only purpose!
All the generals clasped their fists to thank them.
Guo Shao said seriously again: This battle has a profound relationship and great achievements are at this time. I hope that all the generals will work hard to kill the enemy!
Everyone said excitedly: I am tragically rude... I am willing to drive you away before Your Majesty...
Guo Shao waved his hand and the generals thanked him for his gratitude and said he was leaving.Then a general walked out of the account: Xuan Yu was the generals who recorded the account and discussed matters!
Another group of generals formed two columns and stepped into the tent one after another.
Guo Shao still deployed troops with the ministers of the former camp military office.The main thing is the strategy of siege and the deployment of the reserve team. These generals will stay in Youzhou City to siege the city.
The Zhou army besieged Youzhou City half a month ago, but almost no arrow was made. They were preparing to repair fortifications to surround the city to avoid Xiao Siwen having the opportunity to go out of the city to cause trouble.
They are also waiting for subsequent infantry, artillery and materials to be transported to the city of Youzhou.
In the big tent, maps were changed and hung on wooden racks. Guo Shao and the king and his ministers discussed from afternoon to evening.
Siege of the city is a complex project, but so far it is very clear and organized, and detailed and pragmatic.
All preparations were running efficiently, and heavy artillery and stone bombs began to transport at the right time, and at this time they had arrived at the front line.
The black and shiny horse in the fur ran very quickly, as if it was just a joy on the flat ground. The strong war horse brought the speed like the wind, and Guo Shao felt the warmth and wetness of spring on his face.
