Chapter 1173: Clever Attack on Yongqiu

The years are urging people to get old, and Princess Gu'an, who married from Chang'an to Rao Ledu's Governor's Mansion, is no longer young now. However, dressed in a military uniform and with a straight back, she sat on the horse, in the eyes of the soldiers on the left and right, how could she be a heroic and refreshing person? From the beginning of the organization of the Volunteer Army to fight in Heluo, she tied up her hair full of green silk, and never used women's clothes to show people, but it was such a sassy man in armor, but it ushered in the praise of the whole army.

Think about the women's army of Princess Pingyang when the Tang Dynasty was founded, this is probably the scene!

Zhang Yao went to Tongguan to see that Du Shiyi had not returned, but Princess Gu'an had no time to wait for Du Shiyi's reply, and she had to fight this battle. After An Lushan occupied the entire Hebei with a rainbow of momentum, followed by Lingchang County, Chenliu County, and Xingyang County in Henan, and captured Luoyang, only Puzhou Dongping Taishou Wu Wang Li Yi recruited troops to resist the rebels, and there was only one partner she could choose. Although Li Yi's resistance seemed thunderous and small to her, it was only aimed at his prestige as a clan and the younger brother of Li Yi, the king of Xin'an, and she also needed her attention to contain some of the rebels.

Just like this time, all she wants is that Li Yi will attack Lingchang County, Huazhou, a banner to boost the morale of the army, that's all!

The reason why her target is Yongqiu County in Chenliu County, not Kaifeng, is because Kaifeng is the state of Chenliu County in Bianzhou, and it is guarding the canal and official roads, once it is attacked, it will definitely attract a strong reaction from the rebels in Xingyang County, Zhengzhou, in contrast, if you just recapture Yongqiu, you will face much less resistance. After more than a month of continuous fighting, the defeated army initially absorbed and the recruited volunteers have been initially run-in, coupled with the knowledge of the defense of the rebels in Yongqiu City, Huya has also sent more than 20 tooth soldiers to disperse and sneak into the city, she is at least eighty percent sure.

"Your lord, Yongqiu City is closed without a fight."

Glancing sideways at the veteran in old armor, Princess Gu'an smiled and said, "Since the rebels have become turtles with shrunken heads, let people scold the war first, and let them wait for reinforcements!" ”

"But the rebel messenger we let go before will definitely go to Kaifeng City for help, if the soldiers and horses in Kaifeng City really come to help, I am afraid that we will suffer from the enemy on our backs, and your lord please don't underestimate the enemy!"

Seeing that most of the generals on the left and right showed expressions of deep disapproval, Princess Gu'an said meaningfully: "When Emperor Taizong was still the king of Qin, he once led an army of 100,000 to besiege Luoyang. And its purpose is not to storm Luoyang, but to attract others to help. In the end, the one who fell into the trap was Dou Jiande. Now, although hundreds of years have passed since Emperor Taizong's battle to seize Luoyang, and the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty has also fallen into the hands of the rebels, what we want to fight now is not Luoyang, but a small Yongqiu, could it be that you don't have that kind of courage? ”

Hearing that Princess Gu'an actually moved out of the example of Taizong Li Shimin besieging the city to help, some of the people understood, but some still looked worried. The veteran general who had just made the suggestion said cautiously: "Your lord's intention is good, but the rebels are ferocious, our army is limited, and the tiger general who just divided the army only has more than 500 people, and he is not young......

"The soldiers are expensive but not too expensive, and they will not be old, but whether they still have a vigorous fighting spirit. You probably don't know who the Huya men are. Princess Gu'an just paused slightly, and then said word by word, "That is the old soldier of Yunzhou who once sat with me in the Yunzhou Princess's Mansion, the elite who was besieged by the three Turkic tribes to ensure that Yunzhou was not lost, and after being unwilling to sink, he was entrusted by me to the commander of Anbei Du, and he relied on the tooth soldiers for success!" Although the old man is old, he is like an old man, with a thousand miles of ambition! ”

It was not until this moment that she really revealed the truth about this group of veterans, and seeing that the generals were surprised and excited, she said with a smile: "The main and deputy generals in Yongqiu City are not in harmony, and when the banner is raised and the defenders in the city flock out, it will be our time!" ”

When An Lushan raised his army, there were 150,000 soldiers and horses, known as 200,000, and the momentum advanced by leaps and bounds all the way, and almost no one was damaged, but in the places where the official roads were passed, there were still hundreds to thousands of people stationed in the key places, such as Jingcheng Pass. After entering Henan, there were more people and horses staying in various states and counties, especially now that there was a big chaos in Hebei, and Cui Qianyou's army was defeated in Guanzhong, all the people guarding the important places were rebel generals. There are only 1,000 defenders in Yongqiu City, and they have gained a lot from looting the common people before, and all the rebels have made a lot of money, so they suddenly faced the siege of soldiers and horses, and the army suddenly formed two factions of opinions.

The main general Xue Song meant that the city was strictly guarded to wait for reinforcements, and it was expected that a group of rabble would not be able to forcibly attack the city. However, the deputy general Li You insisted that he should take advantage of the enemy's scolding and fighting, and lead the elite out of the city to assault, maybe he could capture Princess Gu'an, the commander of this volunteer army, in one fell swoop. In his opinion, how much power a woman can have, but only by relying on the name of the clan to lead the whole army, as long as the people are held, the army and horses will definitely be dispersed, so this is a great achievement. The two factions were at loggerheads, and they were at a stalemate in the city for a while.

For such an unruly and unrestrained lieutenant general, Xue Song naturally hated him. However, he is the grandson of Xue Rengui, the son of Xue Chuyu, and after the Zhongliang of the Eight Classics, he did not have any psychological burden when he was coerced by An Lushan to rebel before, only thinking that if An Lushan can succeed, he may be able to win a founding hero, but who would have thought that after An Lushan captured Luoyang, he would be on fire on all sides, and the most important thing is that An Lushan began to suspect the generals under his command, because his younger brother Xue Wei had a relationship with Hou Xiyi to envoy Dubo, he was driven from the original Shouchen Liujun to Shouyongqiu, There are only a thousand people under his command!

And there is also a deputy general named Assistant, who is secretly surveillance, but the volunteer army does not fight anywhere else, but comes to attack Yongqiu City!

At the head of the city, Xue Song saw that the left and right were his own soldiers for many years, as well as the generals of the family who had followed the Xue family since his grandfather, and thought that his younger brother Xue Wei, who had been fighting in the soldiers of An Lushan Ya, did not know how life and death were now, and he only felt a little breathless. The Xue family doesn't know anything else, they can only fight, could it be that he recognized the wrong person, An Lushan is not a male lord at all, but a straw bale?

Just when he was full of cranky thoughts, and he didn't even care about the defense of Yongqiu City, he suddenly heard Li You's signature loud voice: "Reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are really coming!" ”

Most of the more than 1,000 rebels were on the city wall, and at this moment, following the prestige, they saw that the banner displayed in the distance was indeed their own flag, and the spirit of the city was greatly lifted for a while. Seeing that the soldiers and horses besieging the city below were really out of order, Li You laughed and said, "It's a woman, I don't know how to march and fight!" Sons, do you have the courage to follow me out of the city to attack, capture the princess of Gu'an alive, and present it to His Majesty? ”

An Lushan has not yet been proclaimed emperor, and Li You has already said that his majesty is Xià, and the intention of inviting merit and favor is overflowing. Under his instigation, the volunteers under the city were obviously more panicked, and they gathered for a while. Even without waiting for the main general Xue Song to give an order, a large number of soldiers followed Li You to rush down to the city, shouting in a mess. Looking at this scene, Xue Song's face turned blue with anger, and he couldn't help but have a little ominous premonition when he held the battlement and looked at the so-called reinforcements waving the smoke and dust.

Could it be that the volunteers tricked the soldiers and horses out of the city? No, it won't, the rebels are well-trained after all, and where they will lose to these rabble! It's a pity that all the soldiers and horses he is used to bringing were taken away by Tian Chenghe, the chief general stationed in Chenliu County, otherwise he would not be so wolf, and he would have to be subject to a mere Li You!

When the city gate opened, a general shouted to take the lead, and when hundreds of cavalry appeared in the field of vision, a smile finally appeared on Princess Gu'an's face. Without hesitation, she bent her bow and arrows, and suddenly filled the pitch-black big bow that had followed her to all parts of Heluo for days, and an arrow broke through the air. Although she was no longer in her prime, and she no longer had the power to shoot Semer Capricorn with one arrow, but the arrow was thrown into the air, and when the momentum had gradually fallen, the lead of the arrow tail finally burned out, only to hear a thud, and suddenly a spark burst out in mid-air.

At this moment, the volunteers who were still chaotic just now quickly adjusted their formation, and while the infantry raised their shields and rushed forward, the archers behind them were immediately in position, and more cavalry were hugging Princess Gu'an and withdrawing to the side. Faced with this scene, Li You, who was shocked when he saw the rocket in the air, immediately came back to his senses and shouted loudly to the left and right: "The spark of the stars, dare to shine too?" They just want to protect that woman and run for her life, boys, speed up for me and rush forward! ”

Seeing that Li You did not retreat but advanced, the speed of this group of cavalry became faster and faster, and Princess Gu'an was relieved. This time, she gestured to a guard beside her, and as the guard sent another arrow signal into the sky, another ball of fire burst out, only to see that the flag that seemed to be reinforcements in the distance suddenly disappeared, and then a yellow flag waving in the wind was played.

"It's the Tang Army, not the reinforcements! Oops, hit the mark! ”

Xue Song, who was watching the battle at the head of the city, was shocked for a while, and subconsciously shouted left and right: "Quick, Mingjin, let Li You come back quickly!" ”

Saying this, Xue Song himself knew that it was just in vain. Li You, who was bent on making meritorious contributions, didn't realize that the so-called reinforcements were fake, and it was impossible for him to turn around and listen to the signal at the head of the city, and the momentum of going was too fast, and he saw that there were no more than a few dozen steps left from the volunteers outside the city! I'm afraid that even if he knows that the reinforcements are fake, Li You will only want to break into the enemy formation and catch Princess Gu'an first!

Sure enough, after the city repeatedly sounded gold, Li You and the soldiers under his command all turned a deaf ear. Seeing that they were about to rush into the enemy formation, they only heard a terrible neighing of horses, followed by the neighing of horses, and there were a number of people turning on their backs, and Li You, who was rushing to the forefront, did not understand what was going on after he was the first to fall off the horse, but in the midst of the countless noisy sounds, he caught an unusually neat sound of horses' hooves. Seeing that there were countless generals who had fallen around him, and only a few or so horsemen could rush into the enemy formation, he stretched out his hand to grab the ground next to him, and saw that it was an iron thistle, and his heart couldn't help but sink to the bottom.

How could it be, how could it be, when did these guys lay the thistle terrestris!
