Tian Chu's face was so gloomy that he could squeeze out water. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

There are still more than 40 miles away from Yongzhou, and this cavalry composed of 800 people from Fengxiang is worthy of the title of elite, and it has galloped day and night for nearly ten days, and has fought more than ten battles in succession, without being scattered.

He only hurried to kill the enemy for several days, and now he was tired of the soldiers, so he had to order to set up camp.

This way is thanks to Shen Hu.

Shen Hu traveled in Guangnan when he was young, he went deep into the Congshan Mountains, and was very familiar with the geography of this place, and it was with the help of him and several local natives that he was able to bypass the garrison of Jiaozhi and guard the pass, and came here in the starry night.

At this moment, Shen Hu's face was as ugly, he took two scouts to investigate the situation in Yongzhou overnight, only advanced more than ten miles, and saw the direction of Yongzhou City from a distance.

Yongzhou fell, and Jiaozhi slaughtered the city.

Shen Hu brought back an old servant of the Yongzhou Shi family, and although the other party went through this great difficulty, he still spoke and acted quite well.

"Su Huangcheng saw that Jiaozhi had already landed in the city, so he asked Tang Tongju to take his subordinates to open a way for the people to kill from the east, and our master's parents were bedridden, so they couldn't escape, so they could only dismiss the servants." The old servant's eyes turned red as he spoke, and his mouth choked up, "Tang Tongju led his subordinates to fight in the streets of the city, and all the soldiers died. ”

"The Jiaozhi soldiers demolished the Yongzhou city wall to fill the Yongjiang River, and killed people in the city, robbed and burned them." Shen Hu clenched his fists tightly and added, "They have 60,000 or 70,000 troops, and Yongzhou has less than 3,000 soldiers and horses, and they are all just locally recruited recruits, and they have been defending for two months. ”

Tian Chu couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, he asked the old servant who had spread the news to be taken down and settled, but the other party stood in place and refused to move, and asked, "But the reinforcements from Guizhou came to the rescue?" If you want to go to Yongzhou, I will come from there, and I want you to lead the way! ”

Zhou Yanzhi listened to these words behind him, and felt that he had never been so uncomfortable.

Yongzhou can hold for two months with such a huge disparity in troops, if Liu Yi did not lie about the military situation, if Liu Yi could send troops to rescue in time, if Liu Yi did not transfer the remaining troops of Yongzhou at the beginning, Yongzhou will be able to hold it!

Zhou Yanzhi gritted his teeth.

In addition to Guizhou, Yongzhou can be regarded as the most prosperous place on Guangnan West Road, with hundreds of thousands of people, and Jiaozhi slaughtered the city today, I don't know how many people will die.

Blood debts must be paid in blood!

Eight hundred elites, no matter how well they are used, they can't drive away these Jiaozhi soldiers.

I only hope that General Zhang Qian can lead the army south as soon as possible and save the people from fire and water!

As long as the Guizhou army can arrive within five days, it can leave at least half of the Jiaozhi soldiers alive.

Zhou Yanzhi's expectations were so good, but the reality did not go down according to his wishes at all.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Guizhou Mansion was extremely tense, and Zhang Qian, who should have rectified the military and government and prepared to go south to rescue Yongzhou, had been in a coma for several days.

His deputy, Liu Yi, was wearing a crime and could not get involved in government affairs at all. The officials in the Guizhou Mansion were in a hurry, and at first they thought that Zhang Qian would wake up in a few days, but for many days, he still showed no signs of soberness.

The military doctor accompanying the army was an old medical officer specially sent by the Empress Dowager Tian, but he was still helpless, so he had to invite all the famous sitting halls and old doctors in Guizhou City to come over for consultation in the name of communication.

More than a dozen doctors took turns to watch for seven or eight days, but the needles were useless, the medicine was ineffective, and they could not even say what kind of illness they had, so the officials had to hold them down in the government office and not allow them to move.

Zhang Qian only brought a deputy general to the south, this person can only control the soldiers in Guizhou, but the army wants to start, the grain and grass must be moved first, no matter the grain and grass, medicinal materials, and armaments need competent people to take care of it, not to mention that the general is unconscious, who dares to send troops lightly.

Guizhou sent three or four urgent letters to go to the capital in one day, and hurriedly blocked the news, for fear that Zhang Qian's coma would be known, and the hearts of the army and the people would be in turmoil.

Tian Chu marched like the wind, he didn't expect such a twist and turn in Guizhou City, and he took eight hundred soldiers to Yongzhou City, planning that even if he couldn't force the Jiaozhi army, at least he could save a few people.

Eight hundred elite cavalry, all of them are one out of ten Feng Xiang brave, and they are all equipped with military horses and sharp weapons, as long as the command is proper, it is not a problem to use one as five, not to mention that he does not want to fight Jiaozhi head-on.

The cavalry has an overwhelming advantage over the infantry and has sharp weapons, although the number is still only a fraction of Li Changjie's strength, but it can completely make them panic.

――The vanguard has arrived, but how long will it take for the army to arrive? As soon as the reinforcements arrive, how long can Jiaozhi last?

This headache is left to Li Changjie to think about for himself.

"Assemble the troops, pull out the camp!" Tian Chu shouted to the lieutenant general.

There are four camps outside the city of Yongzhou, forming a corner of each other, and now they must have all fallen, but as long as one of them is captured, the Jiaozhi is dragged down, and they are suspicious, and they dare not loot again, and as soon as the Guizhou reinforcements arrive, they can cooperate with each other and drag Li Changjie to death here!

Tian Chu turned his head to Zhou Yanzhi: "Ask Penn if there is any news of Guizhou reinforcements." ”

After all, the southward march of the army is different from the vanguard, tens of thousands of soldiers need to prepare in advance, and Pennsylvania is the only way for reinforcements, so they will definitely be notified in advance and prepare to meet the army in advance.

He thought for a while, and then said to a messenger: "Send a letter to Guizhou to see when General Zhang will send troops." ”

After instructing the messenger, he didn't take it seriously, straightened his troops, turned over his horse, and rushed to Yongzhou.

Unless there are no reinforcements in Guizhou, then his 800 elites will be trapped in the Jiaozhi army, and there will be danger. But Guizhou will definitely send troops, and Zhang Qian's army will not arrive in more than ten days at the latest.

Tian Chu looked in the direction of Yongzhou.

At the very least, the Jiaozhi soldiers must be dragged in Yongzhou first, and then they can besiege with the army that comes to help.

At this time, he never imagined that Zhang Qian would be inexplicably unconscious, and although the army in Guizhou had done a good job of basic rectification, the required grain and armament were no longer known where to lie, not to mention halfway, and even the time to set off was still far away.

He thought that the reinforcements that would arrive in ten days at most, even if they were ten days later, would not come.

He, Shen Hu, and Zhou Yanzhi of the Protectorate Mansion, together with these 800 brave and skilled cavalry, will be trapped in the tens of thousands of Jiaozhi troops, unable to move, like a small lonely boat floating in the sea under the storm, at any time there is a risk of capsizing.
