Chapter 20: Attacking the Wall
Looking at the bloody human head, Liu Da did not argue again. Hurriedly returned to the city to gather his forbidden army, and the military law of beheading when the deadline was missed has not changed since the Qin Dynasty. At the beginning, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled because of the heavy rain, and now the world is the world of his Liu family, and Liu Da has no consciousness of creating his own family rebellion.
After a busy morning, these forbidden army men finally hit the road in the afternoon. The garrison sent these ancestors out of Yecheng with a thousand thanks, and the food and grass were important to give anything, just begging these scourges to leave quickly.
Looking at the long marching procession, Yun Xiao was silent.
"Juzi, do you really want to lead such a soldier into battle?" The old fisher asked behind Yun Xiao.
"What should I do, His Majesty sent this gang of miscellaneous soldiers to me. What if you don't take them with you. ”
Yun Xiao said helplessly.
"Juzi, what the holy decree says is for us to listen to King Liang's moderation. Let's send these people to Suiyang, first, we are cavalry, mobility is our foundation, and taking these guys is a burden at all. Second, King Liang is the younger brother of His Majesty, and only such a noble identity can make this group of old soldiers move. ”
"Well, this is a solution, but Wu Chu's army of 200,000 people is besieging the city. How can I get these two thousand people in? ”
"This is not difficult, a three-mile city and a seven-mile Guo. The old man of Suiyang has been there, and the city is more than 20 miles, and it is not much smaller than Chang'an. 200,000 people want to besiege the city, there are only 50,000 people on one side, and it is impossible for King Wu to stupidly match the army to each wall. There will definitely be one main attack and the other three assists. As long as we have sufficient reconnaissance, it is still possible for us to disturb the camp with cavalry in the darkness of the night, and send these 2,000 people in.
Besides, there are large plains around Suiyang, which is suitable for our cavalry maneuver. With such a bunch of burdens, our logistical supplies have been greatly increased. ”
"That's the only way to do it, let's clean it up. Let's leave early tomorrow morning. ”
As if stimulated by the clouds, Zhou Yafu, who could not break the stalemate in Shandong for a long time, defeated tens of thousands of troops from the four countries of Jiaodong in one fell swoop and waved his army to Suiyang. Dou Ying also marched towards Suiyang with Luan Bu. King Wu had to divide his troops to confront Zhou Yafu and Dou Ying separately.
The forces besieging Suiyang were greatly reduced, and the battle situation of the Seven Kings Rebellion fell into a stalemate for a while.
Yun Xiao really served these old soldiers from Chang'an, and left a day in advance. It only took half a day for Yun Xiao to catch up. According to their way of walking, when they walked to Suiyang, I am afraid that the rebellion of the Seven Kings had been calmed down.
Looking at the forbidden army that was about to be encamped just after noon, Yun Xiao was already speechless.
"Brother Liu, why do you want to set up camp just after noon?"
"Brother, there is no way for a soldier to be a brother."
This is the so-called non-violent non-cooperation, Yun Xiao looked at Liu Da. It seems that this gentleman is also against himself.
"Well, the soldiers will rest for the night today. But from tomorrow onwards the march of eighty miles a day, and I will wait at the front. Those who return to camp after the deadline are killed. ”
After Yun Xiao finished speaking, he beat the horse and left, and gave face to the inside, and if he didn't have any shame, he would be dead.
On the second day, he was afraid of the notoriety of clouds and cannibalism. Most of them gritted their teeth and completed the task, but there were still one hundred and ten forbidden soldiers dragging at the end, and the purpose was obvious. Didn't you say beheading the last ten? Lao Tzu 100 people are in a group, see which one you dare to cut.
It seems that persuasion and education are like a bird's cry to these people, and those who don't move really can't control this gang of gentlemen.
For such a person, Yun Xiao adheres to the principle that one is also killing two and chopping, but it is just a few more swings of the saber, and it is not troublesome. Under the suppression of strong bows and crossbows, one hundred and ten soldiers were tied into zongzi. The captain at the head was still smiling at himself, as if he was sure that Yunxiao would not dare to kill him.
Yun Xiao still only said a chop, and one hundred and ten heads fell to the ground.
"Yunhou spare my life, I am the ...... of the Dou family"
Before he finished speaking, the captain's head was already gnawing mud on the ground, and the blood in his cavity spurted far away.
Yun Xiao stepped forward.
"I don't care what kind of royal relatives you are, or whose family you are. and when they enter my camp, they will listen to my commandments. Tomorrow's march will be beheaded by anyone who drags. Whoever leaves the barracks without permission shall be beheaded. It's still the same sentence, tomorrow is overdue. One person is overdue, and ten people are overdue. 100 people are overdue, and 100 people are killed. Even if you are killed, what should you do if you go to Hades to sue Yun? If you are brave enough, you can try, I can kill 5,000 Wu troops, but I can't kill you bastards? If you want to keep the leader of Liuyang, you have to be smart. ”
The forbidden soldiers looked at the separated corpses of the hundred and ten corpses on the ground, and their faces turned white with fright. I really didn't expect this doll-like Hou Ye to be so ruthless, killing a hundred and ten people in one breath without even blinking an eyelid. Looking at the group of Huns under him, one by one they sharpened their knives and stared at their necks, as if they were looking at where to place the knife.
Once again, it has been proven that the power of example is endless
Inspired by more than 100 negative textbooks, the marching speed of the forbidden army was significantly accelerated. Barton said that when you want to touch someone's wallet, he reacts the fastest. Yun Xiao doesn't have a bad habit of fines, he directly moves people's heads. The forbidden army completed the march of six hundred miles with an unimaginable speed of their own. This time they only took six days, half of Chang'an to Luoyang.
Yun Xiao took the cavalry to Suiyang City for a turn, and as the fisherman said, Suiyang is a big city with a radius of no less than twenty miles. After King Wu divided his troops to confront Zhou Yafu and Dou Ying, the troops besieging Suiyang were even more insufficient. The north gate of Suiyang was simply not deployed by the Wu army.
"Moment, this is the encirclement of the art of war. If the city is besieged to death, I am afraid that the defenders of the city will be trapped and fighting. But let the defenders survive, and the morale of the defenders will inevitably be low. In this way, the city cannot be defended for a long time, and it seems that King Wu is also a person of Shen Yun's art of war.
The old man dared to guarantee that the main cavalry of the Wu army was ambushed outside this northern city. They were waiting for the time when King Liang abandoned Suiyang, and they took advantage of the victory to chase and kill. ”
"How many cavalry can the Wu army have?"
"Wu Chu's army has always been based on foot combat, and there are not many cavalry. When the old man traveled to Wu and Chu in the past, King Wu had only more than 5,000 horsemen under his command, and the King of Chu lacked military horses. According to the old man's calculations, the military cavalry of the Wu-Chu coalition army should not exceed 10,000 cavalry. There are 30,000 elite Liang troops stationed in Suiyang City, and if you want to eat them, I'm afraid you can't do it without five or six thousand horsemen. ”
"Five or six thousand horsemen, those two thousand soldiers are foot soldiers. I can't escape the pursuit of the cavalry at all, how to walk into the city safely is a big problem, although I don't like them, but let them be killed by King Wu like this, I am still a little unwilling. ”
"It seems that the only way to let King Liang go out of the city to pick it up, but I'm afraid King Liang won't believe it if I send ordinary people."
"Let Liu Da go, he is a relative of the Liu family. Let him carry His Majesty's holy decree, and King Liang can't help but believe it. ”
Yun Xiao turned his horse and ran down the way he came.
"Brother Liu, now I have a trip to the military to bother my brother."
"Brother Yun, please speak." Liu Da has now lost his temper after being tortured by Yun Xiao, and now it seems that this kid is more terrible than eating people, and one hundred and ten human heads are still inserted in the human head pile in front of the camp to set an example, I'm afraid that even this kid himself will not be ambiguous when he says that he will cut it.
"The army is going to Suiyang to serve, but I think there must be ambushes outside Suiyang City. Therefore, King Liang needs to go out of the city to answer, and other King Liang may not be able to believe it. You are a member of the Liu clan, and with the holy decree of His Majesty, I think he will believe you. ”
"Do your bidding."
Now as long as he leaves Yun Xiao's side, Liu Da is Wu Wang's camp is willing to go. Anyway, his father had a good relationship with King Wu, and even if he was caught by King Wu, he wouldn't do anything to him.
"Okay, I'll let the goshawk and gosthe accompany you to Suiyang in a while. After you enter the city, you agree with King Liang that you will enter the city from the north gate tonight. In order to cover you, I will attack the camp of King Wu's army outside the south gate, after you enter Suiyang safely. Then I lit a bonfire at the south gate, and I would retreat automatically. ”
"Won't you come into town with us?"
"Without me outside to contain the Wu army, I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the city safely."
"Brother, let my brother say what he wants."
Liu Da transformed into a standard acting school, holding Yun Xiao's hand and choking and almost shedding tears. But my heart blossomed, and I finally got rid of this murderous demon king. At first, I thought it was a good errand, and the drill camp that changed the law only got the opportunity to lead the team. Unexpectedly, this kid is the heart of the Bodhisattva's face Yama.
Seeing that the tiger and the goshawk sent Liu Da away, Yun Xiao hurriedly prepared. Instructed Liu Da's lieutenant general, march in darkness and contact with King Liang. So he took his team and the baggage car to the south gate and detoured past.
Whether as an attacker or a defender, the city is definitely not conducive to the performance of cavalry. Yun Xiao didn't plan to enter Suiyang, although the history books said that Suiyang had not been breached, so Yun Xiao didn't want to enter. The moody prince who was destined to be played to death by his brother, Yun Xiao couldn't wait yet.
In winter, it gets dark early, and the sun only stands on the horizon for a short moment before sinking. Yun Xiao had already led people to the five miles of the Wu army's camp outside the south gate, and looked at the lights of the Wu army's camp.
Under the lights, a team of Wu troops shuttled and patrolled, and there were also soldiers of the Wu army guarding with spears on the wall. There were two huge air lanterns hanging above the huge gate, and a group of soldiers were busy shuttling in front of the door, and in the center of the road were scattered many horse-repellent deer bars to guard against the surprise attack of the cavalry.
"It seems that King Wu is also a person who knows the soldiers, just look at the layout of this military camp."
"When the old man traveled to Wu and Chu in the past, King Wu often fought with Fujian and Guangdong. His soldiers are also the army of a hundred battles, and they should not be underestimated. ”
"Of course, I wouldn't be stupid enough to storm his camp. The purpose of this battle was to harass and let the three-bow bed crossbow shoot outside. If the Wu army brigade goes to battle, it will retreat as it did last time. If they go into battle with cavalry, they will shoot as they did last time. In short, be sure to lure the ambush soldiers outside the north gate. Let the tiger and the goshawk go to the east and west gates to inspect respectively, as long as the ambush in the north moves. We're going to retreat now, you know? ”
"No"
