Chapter 2 Yan Zhao Fengyun Section 35
Xiong Ba's troops only attacked once in the second half of the night. He seemed to have a very tacit understanding with Tian Kai, who was guarding the city. One did not attack, and the other ordered the soldiers to fall asleep on the city. Although the battle in the south gate was extremely fierce, and the sound of war drums calling the police for help resounded throughout Yuyang City, Tian Kai sat on the city tower without any movement.
After receiving Murong Ji's order, Xiong Ba's face made Wu Bao standing aside make Yu Wen frightened and know that the battle situation in Yuyang had changed unexpectedly.
"Quick Horse tells Yu Bang and retreat immediately to Changqingwei."
"Yu Wen was injured, you led the siege troops to retreat to Changqingxiang as quickly as possible."
"Wubao, gathered a thousand cavalry and followed me to the southern part of Yuyang City to retreat with Murong Ji's troops."
In an instant, various sounds of ox horns rang everywhere in the Xianbei army.
Standing on the city tower, Tian Kai no longer saw the familiar lineup scene where the enemy was about to start attacking, but the frequent mobilization of the Xianbei people preparing to retreat. He saw a large cavalry army in a disorganized lineup and rushed into the dark night.
Tian Kai smiled, raised his arms and shouted excitedly: "Reinforcements are coming. Our reinforcements are coming."
As the sound of the horn sounded, the speeding cavalry suddenly stopped. Under the guidance of their respective battle flags, they began to face the north and reorganize the charge queue.
Li Hong held a steel gun in his hand and stood at the forefront of the team, silently staring at the Xianbei Iron Cavalry gradually approaching in front of him. He suddenly saw Xiong Ba's battle flag. His heart began to beating violently.
He turned around and roared: "Down the geese formation and prepare to face the enemy."
The two sides were five hundred steps apart. This distance was the best acceleration distance for the cavalry to start attacks. Li Hong raised his spear high. The black panther raised his front legs, ignited his neck, and prepared to launch a new round of wild running.
When the horn soldier saw Li Hong raise his spear, he hurriedly put the horn to his mouth, ready to blow the horn of charge at any time.
At this moment, Li Hong discovered that Xiong Ba's troops had suddenly stopped.
Li Hong laughed. This Xiong Ba is smart.
After a long journey of one night, Li Hong's troops were already a little tired. In addition, the fierce and cruel battle just now, the soldiers' physical strength had reached their limit. If they fought fiercely with the Xianbei cavalry, I am afraid that even if the troops won by chance, there would be little left. Li Hong's troops were finally pieced together. Everyone lived and trained together for more than half a year, and he would not want to ask him to fight all in one battle.
Xiong Ba was unwilling to fight again. He only had one thousand troops. When the main force was defeated and his morale was low, even if he fought, he would lose more than he won. As long as he blocked the Han people's pursuit troops, he would have completed the task. He expected that the Han people's raid troops would be unbearable to fight again. He wanted to bet. He won the bet.
Li Hong slowly lowered the spear raised. He turned around and saw the horn soldiers behind him with nervous expressions and concentrating on his face, he couldn't help laughing. The soldiers didn't understand why their lord had time to have fun at this time, and looked at him in confusion.
"Sir, I really predicted things like a god." Wu Bao saw that the Han army was indeed as Xiong Ba expected, and did not take the initiative to launch an offensive, so he couldn't help but admire him very much.
Xiong Ba smiled bitterly and said slowly: "There is a leopard opposite."
Two late-night raids and two defeats, Xiong Ba suddenly felt anger in his heart. This Han boy who used to be like an idiot was actually a hidden master. If he had known that he was so powerful, he would have been better to kill him.
Xiong Ba couldn't help but think of Murong Feng. The Grand Marshal had a keen eye to recognize the pearl. He repeatedly praised him in front of him, but why did he just ignore his existence? As a result, he suffered another great defeat.
The leopard was silent. He used to be a comrade-in-arms who fought side by side, but now he has become an enemy.
He suddenly remembered the Iron Wolf. What would he think if the Iron Wolf was still alive? Will he regret that he had taught an idiot to be a terrible enemy?
A red sun rises slowly, and the morning glow reflects half of the sky. All living things on the earth are bathed in the golden sunlight, appearing warm and quiet. The crystal clear dewdrops are gentle on the tender leaves that have just turned green, enjoying the warmth of the rising sun.
After watching Xiong Ba's team slowly leave, Li Hong led the cavalry back to Yuyang City and set up a camp far from the battlefield.
Li Hong, Xian Yufu, Yan Rou and the other two rushed to Yuyang City to pay homage to the governor Liu Yu and the prefect He Yi.
Liu Yu happily grabbed Li Hong's hand, praised him repeatedly, and introduced him to He Yi, the prefect of Yuyang City. He Yi was a famous scholar with profound knowledge. He looked elegant and peaceful, and looked like a great scholar who was well-read in poetry and books. Liu Yu was far inferior to him in this regard. The dignified governor looked like an old mountain villager.
He Yi just nodded slightly, counting as saying hello. For him, a small army Sima, a slave of the Xianbei people and a lowly martial man, he was too lazy to even look at him, so he would not say hello.
Li Hong didn't care much when he saw his arrogant expression. He was an officer with a low rank, and he was indeed not qualified to associate with the prefect.
At this time, Tian Kai walked in. Tian Kai was in his thirties, tall but not strong, and had a fair face. He was not like a soldier, but more like a scholar. After paying homage to the two adults, he immediately walked to the right side. Li Hong, Xian Yufu, and Yan Rou hurriedly left the table to pay their respects.
Tian Kai has worked hard and helped them up one by one.
"Are you a famous leopard?" Tian Kai patted Li Hong's shoulder vigorously and exclaimed: "You are really a hero. It's better to see him at first sight than to hear anything."
"Two famous warriors have emerged in Youzhou. There is a white horse Gongsun Zan in Liaodong and a black panther Li Hong in Peking. One black and one white can make the Hu people frightened." Tian Kai turned his head and said to Liu Yu, who was sitting on the top.
Liu Yu nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Wuwan people in Liaodong and Liaoxi heard that the Xianbei Kingdom attacked our great Han Dynasty, and they were ready to take advantage of the situation and wanted to take advantage of the situation. Lord Gongsun led his troops to take charge of Liucheng and defeated the Wuwan people, which was also a great contribution. The people led the army to lift the siege of Yuyang this time, and they made great contributions and should be rewarded."
Li Hong hurriedly said, "Seiguan and Lord Xianyu, Lord Yan followed the orders of Lord Yan, worked hard and came day and night, fortunately, he was able to live up to his fate. In the raid, all the soldiers of each Qu competed for the first place, fought bravely to kill the enemy, and made great contributions. If it were the credit, it should be theirs."
Liu Yu nodded in admiration, "The people are right. Whether the soldiers guarding the city or the soldiers who come to support, their contribution is the greatest. Without their bloody battle, Yuyang City would be captured by the Xianbei people. There are also the people of Yuyang City who have paid huge price and sacrifice in the battle to defend the city. We should thank them well."
"However," Liu Yu's tone sank, and he immediately said seriously: "Yuyang City was only temporarily relieved. Although the early morning raid severely damaged Murong Ji's siege army and annihilated two or three thousand of their men, the Xiong Ba's troops who attacked Dongcheng retreated safely. Xiong Ba's troops plus the remnants of Murong Ji who escaped, excluding the two or three thousand lost to their siege a few days ago, their army still has six or seven thousand people, which is still a huge threat to Yuyang City. What do you think of the future development of the battle situation?"
He Yi looked solemn and said slowly: "There is still no news in Lu Longsai. It is estimated that there has been no battle in Lord Liu. Lord Li's troops can still stay in Yuyang for a while. However, Juyong and Zhuolu's urgent documents are sent to you every day like snowflakes. The Huwuwan lieutenant Ji Chouji led his troops to defend Juyong City for more than ten days. Facing the fierce attack of Wusang Haoshu Tituo on Shanggu, the siege battle must be extremely fierce, and the situation is probably very critical. The reinforcements of Dai County were surrounded by the Tuoba tribe army of the Xianbei Tuoba tribe, and it is difficult to move forward. Looking at the entire battle situation, if you want to make a breakthrough, you must defeat one of the enemy's one route to effectively restrain the attack of another route."
"Sir, do you mean to let us defeat the enemy attacking Yuyang first?" Tian Kai asked.
"Yan Zheng (Tian Kai's word) is right. Lord He and I discussed for a long time, and felt that the enemy attacking Yuyang was suddenly defeated when he was about to succeed, and his morale would definitely be low. If we want to completely reverse the situation on the entire Youzhou battlefield, our breakthrough point would probably be Murong Ji and Xiong Ba in front of us." Liu Yu touched the goatee's beard and said slowly.
"Although the strength of the two sides is very different, we have to do it. If we want to rescue Juyong and Zhuolu, we have no troops, and the far water cannot save the near fire. The only way now is to defeat Murong Ji and Xiong Ba in the shortest time and survive in danger. If Murong Ji and Xiong Ba's troops recover and meet with the Rik Feng reinforcements coming from Guangping, Yuyang will be attacked again. You are all the people who lead the troops. You should find a way out for Yuyang when you are in a dilemma." He Yi said calmly.
"Now there are only more than 1,500 soldiers left in Yuyang, plus Lord Li, Lord Yan, Lucheng, and Yongnu's reinforcements, a total of less than 5,000, and only more than 2,000 cavalrymen. Once Murong Ji and Xiong Ba's six or seven thousand troops arrived on the plain, they were all cavalry, and we had no chance of winning, let alone they had the support of Li Kuangfeng. Lord, this is not a question of whether there is a solution, but an impossible problem." Tian Kai whispered with a bitter face.
He Yi's face darkened, he stopped talking, and was thinking about his thoughts silently.
Liu Yu turned his head and looked at Li Hong and the other two. Xian Yu Fu frowned tightly, at a loss. Yan Rou's big hand gently touched the edge of the table, and then he looked confused.
Li Hong took out the silk map from his arms, spread it carefully on the table table, and looked carefully.
"Minister, what are you going to do?" Liu Yu asked.
Several people in the room immediately looked at Li Hong's face.
"According to the rewards of the scout two days ago, the troops that Risang Feng had already left Guangping and were descending along the Baoqiu River. Once they met in Changqing Survey, there would be 12,300 people. This was similar to the number of troops they initially attacked Yuyang. If so many people fought hard with them, they would naturally seek death. If we continue to stick to Yuyang City, even if we defended it, we would not be able to fundamentally reverse the situation in Youzhou, and sooner or later the city would be defeated."
"I hope they are hit hard, and there is almost no possibility of retreating without attack. The Tuoba tribe in the north and the Titu army in Shanggu Wuhuan are besieging Juyong and Zhuolu day and night, and the two armies are gathering together Yuyang is just around the corner. Guangping City has been taken down by them, and the problem of food and grass transfer has been solved. Murong Ji was only defeated. Although he was injured, his strength was still there, and he still had a chance to make a comeback. He asked the Xianbei people to give up such a good opportunity and give up halfway, so he didn't even think about it."
"Then do you have any way?" He Yi interrupted him without hesitation and asked seriously when he saw him talking nonsense.
Li Hong nodded gently and said with a smile: "It is not easy to provide food and grass to a cavalry army of more than 10,000 people. Xiong Ba took the lead in capturing Guangping, and his purpose was self-evident, to establish a safe food and grass transit station for the army to provide security for the long food and grass transportation line."
"Are you going to attack Guangping and cut off their supplies?" Tian Kai asked immediately.
"But our army has too few people and has no strength to attack Guangping." Yan Rou continued.
"The people's idea is very good. We don't have to attack Guangping at all. As long as we frequently attack their food and grass transport teams, the Xianbei people can be put in a passive position and force them to withdraw their troops." Xianyufu said.
"But this method takes too long. Once Juyong is captured, the enemy will flock to you, and Yuyang may be occupied by the enemy at any time." He Yi smiled coldly and immediately denied it.
"Ministry, do you have a way to defeat the enemy in the shortest time?" Liu Yu did not agree with this method. He saw Li Hong looking at everyone confidently, with a confident face, and then continued to ask.
