Chapter 429: Attack
There are only 3,000 people in Yongchuan City.
Guarding the general gentleman's flag, deputy general Li Ruyu.
These two names are known to everyone in the whole world, the former led a thousand Guanyu veterans to the south, and killed a circle in the sixteen states of Yanyun, and the military general surnamed Huo in Jinzhou chose to avoid the battle, so that the gentleman flag smoothly jumped out of the blockade circle of Kaifeng, and slipped in front of Xuzhou guarded by Hao Zhao, and when he arrived in Shouzhou, he did not reduce the number of people but increased to two thousand.
I don't know why, in the cool world, there is a saying that famous teachers and generals don't prison and thousands of troops avoid white robes.
It seems to be from the previous volume of "Da Liang Sou Shen Lu".
There is no way to know the specifics.
And Li Ruyu has too many topics to talk about.
But with the 3,000 Cloud Piercing Army led by these two people, if they want to hold Yongchuan, which was raided by the Western Army, the chances are extremely slim.
The 3,000 Chuanyun Army was originally used as a mobile vanguard, and the foot soldiers who really defended the city could only use 1,000 Xiangyang recruits, and these 1,000 Xiangyang recruits were actually cavalry formations.
The Cloud Piercing Army is a light horse!
In Yongchuan City, there are 6,000 war horses, and as for whether 1,000 Xiangyang recruits can become qualified cavalry, this is something that An Meiqin does not consider - because this is the matter of Junziqi and Li Ruyu.
However, under the current situation, there is a high probability that these thousand Xiangyang recruits can only be used as foot soldiers, otherwise what will they use to defend the city?
But if you want to rely on this little force to hold Yongchuan, which is attacked by thousands of troops, it is difficult to reach the sky.
But no matter how hard it is, you have to keep it.
The surprise attack of the Western Army made An Meiqin, the deputy minister sitting in Yuzhou City, unexpected-after all, the sand table deduction, the Western Army took the initiative to attack is tantamount to looking for death, since An Xianggong can deduce the performance, Zhao Changyi and the black-clothed literati can also deduce the performance.
However, the way of the soldiers is also treacherous.
The first battle in Yongzhen's three years made Ahn Xianggong suffer a big loss.
After all, there is no invincible general in the world.
An Xianggong is also just a human being, not a god - even in the entire Great Liang, no one thought that the Western Army would take the initiative to attack, and if Yongchuan and Changzhou were defeated, Yuzhou would be exposed to the Western Army.
The plan of Lu Xiangsheng, the signing of the Privy Council of the joint Guangnan West Road, to attack Shuzhong was completely aborted, and the Western Army would also have greater strategic space, and Zhao Changyi's hand was really beautiful.
The city wall of Yongchuan is not high, shorter than Guanyu City, which is also the credit of strengthening the city wall after the Junzi Banner entered Yongchuan.
If it was before, the walls of Yongchuan City were almost useless, not to mention using siege equipment such as ladders and city-breaking hammers, even if it was a foot soldier, it could easily break the city.
When the sky was slightly bright, Li Ruyu and Junziqi stood on the city tower with grim faces.
The Western Army was ten miles outside the city, rapidly approaching.
At this point, Li Ruyu had to obey the Gentleman's Banner, even if it was Chinese New Year's Eve, he did not relax his vigilance at all, and still sent a scout team of two hundred people, divided into four standards and scattered out of the city.
If not, when the Western Army comes to the city, Yongchuan will be torn apart by the Western Army like a bride.
But there was also a price.
Of the 200 scouts, less than 170 people returned to Yongchuan City after encountering the scouts of the Western Army, and nearly one-fifth of them were lost in battle, which shows the strength of the Western Army.
And that's just an engagement between scouts.
There are many fierce soldiers in the Western Army, and they are honest and do not deceive.
Li Ruyu looked at the old soldiers at the head of the city who abandoned the horse, and then looked at the recruits from Xiangyang who were preparing to fill the vacancy under the city, and asked Junzi Qi with some pain, "The scouts have found out that the Western Army is attacking, but they don't know which general of the Western Army is leading the army, and even the number of people cannot be specifically determined, only that there are hundreds of nearly thousand cavalry troops, with a total strength of about thousands, or nearly 10,000 numbers?" ”
Junzi Qi nodded, "That's true, the lightning attack of the Western Army is coming, and there is not much time left for the scouts, so they can only look from afar, and roughly estimate the strength of the troops according to the dust splashed by the banner and the war horse." And it was impossible for the scouts to bypass the Western Army and go to the back to check the traces of the camp they had stationed last night. ”
Scouts scout troops, nothing more than these methods.
Li Ruyu smiled bitterly, "How can this be kept." ”
Junziqi was also a little worried, "Defend the city, I'm really not good at this, so how to defend it, then you have the final say." "Or to put it another way, the guy named Chen Qingzhi in his body, he is not good at defending the city.
Li Ruyu was silent for a while, "Me? I don't have any faith...... But Yongchuan must be defended, otherwise Yuzhou will be exposed to the front of the Western Army. ”
If the Western Army gets Yuzhou, the situation will be extremely tricky.
The gentleman agreed, and there was some surprise in his heart, he never thought that Li Ruyu's grasp of the battle situation already had this opinion, and the speed of this young man's growth was a little terrifying.
The two of them suddenly raised their heads at the same time, with tentative expressions on their faces, almost in unison, "Or, attack?" ”
When the words landed, the two looked at each other and laughed.
Yongchuan City's people, and mainly three thousand light horses, are not suitable for defending the city at all, and they have to face tens of thousands of troops, relying on the Yongchuan city wall, they can't do it at all.
Even if Yue Jingzhong is reincarnated, he can't do it.
But if you go out of the city to attack instead of defending, the situation is different...... After all, there are 2,000 veterans, plus 1,000 new soldiers, all of whom are cavalry, and their mobility is far from being comparable to that of siege infantry.
Zhao Changyi's unexpected one-handed offense instead of defense made An Meiqin unable to respond, so why did Yongchuan City stick to Chen Jian and wait to be killed?
Zhao Changyi made a trick.
Then, I, Li Ruyu and Junziqi, have a strange move.
Li Ruyu looked at the gentleman's flag, "I am responsible for drawing the sword before the formation, and you are responsible for waving the flag behind the formation." ”
Junzi Qi laughed, "I'm good at this." ”
Li Ruyu also smiled, without the slightest sense of urgency that the big battle was imminent, and said to a herald beside him: "Pass the order, everyone go down to the city and get on their horses, and line up outside the city." ”
The herald immediately gave the order.
Half an hour later, 3,000 people lined up outside the city one after another, and just this one action can see the gap between the old pawns and the new soldiers: the old pawns have finished arraying, and the new soldiers have left the city one after another.
Li Ruyu and Junziqi are not in a hurry, and there is still plenty of time.
After everyone lined up, the two rode to the front of the formation, and the gentleman Qi, who was very knowledgeable, took a few steps back and handed over the power of mobilizing and issuing orders in front of the formation to Li Ruyu.
is going to give the lieutenant general, which is absolutely impossible in other cities to defend the city.
The two thousand old soldiers have long known that our Junzi Banner is actually a level of seniority, and in fact, they are still more inclined to Li Ruyu as handsome...... It's just that when it's time to fight, he has become the commander of the gentleman's banner again.
The relationship between the two is quite a bit of a monarch.
This scene made the group of Xiangyang recruits very surprised, and then suddenly, and then excited, this is the general who is willing to follow!
Li Ruyu coughed, strangled the war horse and kept walking back and forth within a radius of several meters, brewing some words, looking at the three thousand people standing solemnly, listening to the low neighing of the war horse, the blood in his body gradually boiled.
"Some words, too much is meaningless, among you, some of you have followed us all the way back to Shouzhou from Guanyu City, and have not tasted defeat, while some of you are on the battlefield for the first time, and you are about to face bloodshed and death that you have never seen before."
"Are you afraid?"
Li Ruyu mainly said these words to the recruits in Xiangyang.
There was no answer, no one answered.
Li Ruyu smiled: "Fear, engulfing not only you alone is life, but also your comrades-in-arms, your robes, and even the entire Cloud Piercing Army, here, I only have one sentence to tell you: On the battlefield, only forward, can only move forward." ”
"Dead or alive, you can't change it!"
Flee for your life before the battle, you will be killed!
After a pause, Li Ruyu used all his strength, and his tongue bloomed with spring thunder, "Can you do it?" ”
There was a brief silence, followed by a bloody roar like a tsunami: "Yes! ”
Loud in the sky!
Li Ruyu smiled with satisfaction, and was about to wave his hand to attack, but unexpectedly, two riders stepped forward, and they spoke loudly one after the other without fear.
"I, Xiangyang Xue San."
"I, Xiangyang Zhang Gui."
"Please ask for your life and lead me Xiangyang Erlang as a striker!"
Li Ruyu was stunned.
was also stunned and the two thousand old soldiers of the Zhenbei Army who went south, and then one of the commanders said loudly: "Do you look down on us or what, I am the vanguard of the Cloud Army, how can it be a recruit like you!" ”
The rest of the rulers also reprimanded.
The striker not only has a high mortality rate, but also the most important responsibility, after all, the cavalry crashes into the formation, the first wave is very important, if the first wave of collision can not break the enemy formation, then the next is a tragic battle, and the cavalry is most afraid of losing mobility, which will lead to huge battle losses, and even the entire army is possible, such a heavy task, how can it be handed over to a group of recruits.
Zhang Gui and Xue San turned a deaf ear.
Li Ruyu and Junziqi just laughed at this scene, until the voices of the others gradually lowered, and Li Ruyu asked, "Is it the idea of the two of you or the thoughts of all the recruits in Xiangyang?" ”
The cavalry striker, when it collides with the formation, is the front line with the heaviest casualties and the greatest chance of death.
Xue San and Zhang Gui glanced at each other, "We have a common idea!" ”
Li Ruyu nodded, "Okay." ”
This is the bloodiness that my Li Ruyu's army should have, this is the anger that the Ichthyosaurus Club should have, and this is the consciousness that the Cloud Piercing Army should have - not afraid of war, not afraid of death!
Military orders are like mountains.
Although the veterans were dissatisfied with this arrangement, no one dared to object.
Just looking at the recruits in Xiangyang again, the disdain and hatred on their faces are much weaker - they are all iron-blooded men, how can they have a small belly, after all, this group of recruits dares to be the vanguard of the cavalry, and this alone has to be admired.
Li Ruyu turned the horse's head, and together with the gentleman's flag, he pulled out the long sword in his hand with a bang: "Go!" ”
The army struck.
……
……
In the wilderness between Laisu Town and Yongchuan, the thorn flag covered the sky, the war horses neighed, and the army was like a shadow cast on the earth by a huge cloud, covering the earth, and then rushing forward to devour the earth.
Dusty sky.
The army attacked, a drum of momentum like a tiger, at this moment, no one cared about the green wheat seedlings covered by the snow, the iron horse galloped, the foot trotted, wantonly trampled on the great mountains and rivers.
In the Chinese army, the general in armor has a dignified face, and the majestic figure is bumpy and undulating with the trotting of the war horse, but under the dignified face, the heart of the immortal battlefield is as hot as iron.
Excited!
He was followed by a highly supposedly popular military aircraftman.
The general is also surnamed Li, and his single name is Su.
In the early years, there were no mountains and rivers, and even before Zhao Changyi arrived in Guangxi, there was no such number one person in the Western Army, and it was not until the black-clothed literati came to Guangxi that Li Su appeared in the Western Army.
After arriving in Shuzhong, Li Su was exceptionally promoted to general with his outstanding talent in leading troops and riding and archery skills, and led 10,000 people to garrison Fushun County.
There are many people like Li Su who have been unusually promoted in the Western Army.
Without exception, it was all the handwriting of the literati in black.
Zhao Changyi turned a blind eye to this, he knew that these people were the masters of the black-clothed literati over the years, and they might even be strangers, but this was also the situation he wanted to see.
Generals die in a hundred battles, and a war is fought, how many generals will be loyal to the literati in black?
For the general, Zhao Changyi is confident that he will not lose to anyone in the world.
When Li Su looked at the sky, the sky was just slightly bright, and it was not an excellent time to raid Yongchuan at this time, but unfortunately the military order on the side of Jinguancheng was one day late, if he arrived a day earlier, last night's Chinese New Year's Eve raid on Yongchuan would be ten percent sure.
The fighter plane was fleeting.
However, the early morning raid on the first day of the new year was not much worse than the Chinese New Year's Eve.
Regarding this point, Li Su was somewhat impressed by Jinguancheng, Zhao Changyi and others, as for the literati in black...... Li Su was deeply afraid, even if it was himself, he couldn't see through the depth of the literati in black.
But Zhao Changyi was able to make a decision on the spot and choose to attack instead of defending, which is deeply in line with Li Su's heart.
If the war is all about deduction, then what else is there to fight?
Everyone directly arranged the troops, and then deduced it in the sand table, and then the loser of the deduction gave up the country, what is the point of fighting to the death.
The charm of the battlefield lies in this unknowability.
Li Su was a little excited, he knew the weirdness of this cool world, and he knew who the opponent he was going to face in this raid: the Great Liang Gentleman's Banner.
The detailed work that lurked in Yongchuan did not detect the strength of the Cloud Piercing Army, but knew that it would be the Gentleman's Banner.
That's enough.
Famous teachers and generals are not imprisoned, and thousands of troops avoid white robes.
Junzi Qi, will it be the white-robed general who once dominated the situation and left a heavy mark in the history of the youth, the immortal general who led an army of 7,000 but took 32 cities!
Li Su hoped he was.
A general, a general who crisscrosses the battlefield, a general who has made great achievements, will be an opponent in such a name, and there is a way to go to chess to meet the opponent will meet a good talent, how can you not be excited.
Thinking of this, Li Su muttered, "You are invincible in attacking the city, but what about defending the city?" ”
Following Li Su's side, the military machine lang is the son of the first family of Shifang County in Shuzhong, after the Western Army entrenched in Shuzhong, the outstanding children of this family have come out, or served in various parts of Jinguancheng, or entered the Western Army.
And this person named Yang Hong is the best of them.
Hearing this, he was a little worried, "I'm not afraid that the Junzi Banner will defend the city, I'm afraid that he will abandon Yongchuan and go out of the city, in that case, if we can't completely annihilate the Junzi Banner's Cloud Piercing Army, even if we take Yongchuan, we will not be able to get rid of this cavalry army, and we will have to face the light cavalry biting at any time, and continue to go south to force Yuzhou City, we will face the embarrassing situation of not falling off." ”
Li Su bowed his head, and I have to say that Yang Hong is indeed talented, and even suspected for a while that this thing is also a stranger.
After all...... There is indeed a Yang Hong in Shu, who continued to live in Shu Han for forty years in one sentence.
Regarding Yang Hong's worries, Li Su has already seen through ...... This is the biggest variable in the raid on Yongchuan, and with this raid, there are not only 8,000 foot soldiers, but also 1,000 light cavalry.
And now that the arrow is on the bow, if you want to open up the situation for Shuzhong, you must take Yuzhou!
This is the choke point of the Western Army.
In the same snowy season, I, Li Su, can go down to Caizhou on a snowy night, can't I step on the snow to Pingyongchuan? Even if the gentleman's flag is Chen Qingzhi in a white robe, I, Li Su, also have the heart to win.
Break the gentleman's flag, and become famous again in the first battle.
Live up to the battlefield.
