Chapter 330: Inserting Youzhou (Part II)
"Finally back. ”
Yikou County, Lu Gao looked at his hometown after a long absence in the distance, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
The scenery in front of you is different from Jinling, the continuous mountains, the vast land, and the faintly visible castle on the plain, at a glance, bring a kind of desolation and vastness, this is Youzhou.
At this time, the sun had set in the west, the twilight was getting thicker, and the 30,000 troops entered the city one after another, and the continuous army looked boundless, and the deputy general and the Taishou were sweating like rain, commanding and arranging camping.
Even if you are prepared in advance, it is extremely difficult to arrange an army of 30,000.
In the nearest county town of Youzhou, Huhu Huhe was sitting in the hall of the county office, about forty years old, with several scars on his face, although he was not armored, he had a murderous aura.
On the left and right, there were several thousand households, as well as two Han people who translated the language, trembling and trembling.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the hall, and a person came in, this person was also a thousand households, his name was Ilad, as soon as he came in, he said loudly: "Ten thousand households, the situation outside has been ascertained, and it is the army of the Han people who have entered the city one after another, and Chengguo is sending troops to take Youzhou, and we all know this person, it is Lu Gao." ”
Lu Gao led the army to resist that year, although the Great Khan personally conquered it, it was difficult to pull it out quickly, and he resisted for more than half a year, which made the Hu people know his name.
"Ten thousand households, we only have seven thousand, which is not a lot of people, in such a situation, it is better to send people to the back, even to the Great Khan for help!" said Iled.
Huhe sighed and showed a letter on the table to Ilad.
Ilad hesitantly took the letter, unfolded it, and couldn't help but change his face: "The Great Khan pursued Balu and has confronted the Han people in Bingzhou?"
After reading all the contents, worries appeared on his face: "So, the Great Khan won't send troops to help?"
"Although the Third Highness Bige was appointed as the Governor of Youzhou, the Third Highness has no experience, so this battle can only be delayed as much as possible. The Great Khan's reinforcements can't arrive for a while, so they can only buy time!"
The eldest son Balu rebelled, the second son died, the fourth son Huerbo died in battle, and the third son Bige was sealed and led Youzhou.
However, Bige was only given a thousand households before, and in fact, the army he mastered was only these, and his background was even more problematic, that is, his mother was a captive Han woman, and she was not similar to Aciuda in appearance.
When Iled heard this, his mood couldn't help but feel a little heavy, but he didn't say anything, in fact, since the Great Khan led the people to retreat to the grassland, Iled felt that the general trend had gone.
The time when the Central Plains was invincible was gone forever.
The death of the fourth prince made the Great Khan lose an arm, and they lost one of their most suitable followers, in fact, Balu rebelled, and had three sons, but except for Bige, the two sons were under the age of five, and they could not be expected at least for ten years.
There was no successor, and the battle was lost in the Central Plains, and the grasslands were in chaos...... Is Youzhou still guarded?
At this time, the hall was gloomy for a while, Ilad frowned, and asked again after a while: "Wanhu, have you contacted other counties?"
"Hmph, you don't know the situation in Youzhou, since the death of the fourth prince, many people have been disobedient, loyal to the Great Khan on the surface, and they are constantly making small moves behind their backs, and they can't wait to eradicate us as soon as possible, just contact you think they will lend a hand and listen to the orders of the Third Highness?"
"The situation is urgent, we are lost here, and the Han Chinese president will drive in, and they will not hold it!" said Iled angrily.
"Do you think they don't know the result? Hmph, it's just that many people don't care about whether Youzhou is lost or recaptured by the Han people! In their hearts, it's a big deal to go back to the grassland!" Huha said: "Hey, Youzhou has been washed several times, and there is not much oil and water left." ”
Iled thought about it, and had to admit that what his main general Huhe said was very reasonable, Youzhou has been washed many times, and the war is fierce, so now the population is only four before the war, and it can be said that it is poor, which has lost its value for many Hu people.
Huhe figured it out at this time, and sneered: "Don't care what they think, the Great Khan has appointed me to guard this county, and if you want to take this county from me, you will have to make the Han people pay the price of blood!"
After Huhe finished speaking, he glanced at the generals...... In the past, His Royal Highness led us to charge into battle, saying that warriors are worthy of being called the people of the Immortal Heaven. ”
"Although the Four Highnesses have returned to the Immortal Heaven, we are the only ones left to hold on here, but if the Han people are allowed to easily take the city away, how will we see the Four Highnesses in the future?"
These people are all henchmen of the fourth prince, and they are Huha's cronies, and after Huhe's words, they all have an indescribable emotional taste, and they got up and promised: "Yes, we are willing to fight with the Han people." ”
Hohe laughed, but there was no smile in his eyes.
General Hu is famous for his unruliness and uncontrollability, but I am afraid that everyone here has already given birth to different hearts, and at this time, speaking in the name of the fourth prince, it seems that he still has achieved a certain amount of awe and obedience.
At this moment, a pro-soldier hurriedly rushed in outside, whispered a few words to Huhe, Huhe's face suddenly changed, and when he saw that everyone had looked over, he said heavily: "Everyone, the Han army has appeared within thirty miles, and soon the army will be under the city, you immediately listen to the orders of Lord Ben and prepare to defend the city!"
Hearing this, everyone's faces changed, and they stopped talking and listened to the distribution of Huhe.
After the arrangement, Hohe said to Elad, "You go with me to the city." ”
Ilad nodded, knowing that he would go to see the truth first, so he took a group of soldiers to the city gate together, and climbed the tower to look outside.
The fifth day of the sixth month of the second year of Hongwu
On the flat land between the county town and the river, there are constantly large armies pouring in, and large arrays are rolling in.
Standing on the watchtower and looking out, 30,000 people lined up in a big formation, constantly arriving at the flat ground, the team and the flag are not out of sight, and very orderly, to the first guard and one capital, all put up a big flag, let the soldiers return to the team, so there is not much time, a piece of standing straight Dacheng army, lined up.
Looking at this kind of majesty, even the battle-hardened general Hu let out a heavy gasping sound.
Although he had been mentally prepared, he still frowned when he saw the continuous army of people shouting at the city gate.
At this time, the sound of war drums continued, but even such drums could not block the sound of shouting below, and they were proficient in Hu language, although it was not good, but the people in the city still heard it very clearly.
These Han people are persuading them to surrender!
It's really damn it, these Han people lived in persuasion to surrender him, and Huhe's face couldn't help but have a hideous expression.
"It's an insult, an insult to me!"
"Ten thousand households, there are at least 30,000 Han people, and there are only 7,000 people in the city, if they still have reinforcements......" The latter words Ilad did not say, but he said it very clearly.
The Han people have tens of thousands of reinforcements, even if they are trapped, they can trap these people to death.
Now it's not the past, the Dacheng army is endless, it is said that there are millions of people, and the Hu people are no longer in this land except for Youzhou.
The Hu people of Youzhou are the guards of other counties, and they are people from various tribes, and they deliberately stay in Youzhou, but they are afraid that it will be difficult to resist.
In such a situation, what should be done to stop the attack of the Han Chinese?
Huhe's face turned pale, staring down.
Huhe was born in a large tribe in the steppe, and followed the Great Khan when he was a teenager, although he did not become an important minister of the Khanate because of the large number of warriors on the steppe.
But the appreciation of the fourth prince made him rise step by step, such a kind of kindness of acquaintance, in Huhe's opinion, he can repay with his life!
At this time, it is time to repay.
The twilight was gloomy, although it was only afternoon, but it was almost dusk, and when I looked down from the city, I saw that the Dacheng army was at its peak, and the guards were lined up one by one.
Soon after standing still, a drum beat was heard in the array.
In the sound of drums, the 3,000 cavalry marched slowly, and the middle general, wearing Ming armor, came to the front of the military formation under the escort of dense elite personal soldiers, accompanied by many dignified generals behind him.
The wind blew the sound of the flag hunting, and a large flag was erected, and a big "Lu" character was written on the flag.
"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!" Looking at the figure of the main general, Wei Qi and Du Qi both flapped their weapons and shouted loudly, and for a while, the whole voice rushed to the clouds.
Seeing this, Huhe's face was solemn, and his eyes showed horror, but this expression flashed: "Lu Gao, are you back again?"
"Wanhu, it's really this person who has returned, I'm just afraid of ......"
"It's a big deal, what are you afraid of dying with this city?" Huhe said angrily, his tone cold: "Do you want to surrender?"
It didn't matter who came, it didn't make sense to him.
Yes, there are tens of thousands of troops in Youzhou, but they have lost their backbone and are fighting endlessly, can they still hope to unite and fight?
But the responsibilities entrusted by the Great Khan and His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince made him determined to defend to the death.
"General, it seems that you don't plan to surrender!" came behind the general Lu Gao, and said with a sneer.
Lu Gao looked up at the city, it was possible, he really didn't want to destroy the city of his hometown, but the Hu people refused to surrender, so they had to attack hard.
"Set up camp, order the Thunderbolt to be assembled quickly, it must be ready to use tomorrow morning!"
"No!"
Youzhou.Anping Port
The First Fleet was approaching, the sun was shining brightly in the early summer, the sea was shining with sunlight, and the golden light was flowing, and on the hundreds of warships, sailors were busy checking weapons and sails, preparing for battle.
On the high platform, Lu Suhai's eyes were bright, looking at a few patrol boats in panic, and he said with a smile: "Hu Renguo is a Hu person, not only is he not good at water warfare, but he has no strategy, so he doesn't know how to guard against the sailors here." ”
In fact, this is not much stupid, it is said that on the earth, until the Qing Dynasty, there was no effective coastal defense.
"Grand Governor, the ships have been prepared, request orders!" At this time, someone stepped forward to report.
"Destroy the enemy ships, enter the harbor, and lock up the intersections!"
"No!"
At the sound of the command, the fire was immediately fired in unison, and it was fired towards the dinghy that entered the firing range. (To be continued)
