"Mission accomplished!"

Zhao Gou looked at the words written on the note, and felt very uncomfortable, because there was another paragraph at the back, "One hundred people, one more than one." ”

Although the mission was completed, it also paid a terrible price, and only one out of a hundred people survived. Zhao conceived this and had mixed feelings.

Zhao Gou dragged the note stubbornly, "If Yunzhou is broken, I will definitely collect the corpses for you in person." The victory in this battle is well deserved. ”

"Gao Xianxian, what's going on with the cutting off of the river?"

Gao Zhong replied: "Back to Dashuai, there are several rivers in Yunzhou, and a few days ago, our army was ready to cut off the rivers, and it was known to the Yunzhou army. Now, it is confronting our army. ”

Zhao Gou nodded and said, "What about the river upstream?" ”

"It's all intercepted!" Gao Zhong said respectfully, "Everything is according to the marshal's expectations, and the enemy army was fooled." ”

"Order the three armies to attack the city in half a month!" Zhao Gou issued a military order, according to the climate of Yunzhou, as long as the upstream river water is cut off, then Yunzhou will be seriously short of water.

If you are in the south and other places, this road cannot be followed. After all, the southern rivers are turbulent and have large flows, but in the north, the flow is limited and dry, so mobilization will not be so troublesome.

"Command!" Gao Zhong went down respectfully, and then issued Zhao Gou's military order, and Lu Junyi, Song Jiang and others received it.

Half a month later, a large-scale siege of the city.

At the same time, the Liangwang Mansion in Datong County, Yunzhou was quiet, and sitting on the Taishi chair was Liangwang Yelu Chenggong, more than half a hundred years old, still fierce and energetic, but at this moment, his brows were furrowed and worried.

"How much surplus grain is available in Yunzhou now?"

"Back to my father, it is roughly estimated that within half a month, the food will run out. If it is reduced, it can be held for another 20 days. ”

Yelu Chenggong frowned, "This king was careless, he didn't expect spies to be mixed in the city, and let them find out the location of the granary, if it wasn't careless, he wouldn't be so passive." ”

"Father, don't blame yourself, if you are really guilty, you should be the last general!" Yelucheng said to himself, "The granary was originally guarded by the last general, but it was still burned down, which is the fault of the last general." ”

"Little prince, now is not the time to be held accountable!" The general beside him spoke up, "Our army's grain and grass have been burned, and the Song army must know." If you guess correctly, the Song army will attack the city in a few days. ”

"Our army is short of food and grass, and if we don't get help, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold on. Now Shuozhou, Huanzhou, and Yingzhou have been lost one after another, and the Guo brothers have taken refuge in the Song army, and they don't know much about the situation of our army, but they also know some. ”

"If it goes on for a long time, our army will lose its combat effectiveness, and when the army comes, we have no power to fight back, we can only watch Yunzhou fall, how to face Your Majesty at that time."

"At the moment we can only find a way to ask for reinforcements, and with our current situation, it is simply difficult to hold on. Although it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the army without any combat effectiveness is like being slaughtered by others, it can only break through the encirclement and ask for reinforcements for the sake of today. ”

Yelu Chenggong said in a deep voice: "Now Shangjing is besieged by the Jurchen people, and Da Liao is under the enemy. If you want to get reinforcements from the capital, I'm afraid there is no way, according to the current war, there is no way to divide the troops to come. ”

"If you ask for reinforcements from other states, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. According to the report of the spies, the Song army was divided into three armies, and it was difficult to break through the Song army, as if they wanted us to trap. ”

"As for other states, presumably the Song army will not ignore them, and they must also lack skills. In the current situation, we say that we are alone and have no choice but to save ourselves, and there is no other way. ”

"Father, we can issue a grain requisition order and get the local people to support us, so that we can get through this difficult time."

Yelu Chenggong shook his head and said, "Now that we have closed the city gates, we are not allowed to go out, and we are not allowed to enter, presumably the people in the city already know." ”

"We issued an announcement, that is, to tell the enemy that we have no surplus food, and the people in the city will be panicked, and they will not borrow food, and their food is just enough to feed and clothe, blacking our army, so how can they survive?"

"But my father ......," said Jerod anxiously.

Yelu Chenggong flatly refused, "This road is not passable, even if I am killed in battle, I Yelu Chenggong will not affect the local people." ”

Yelu Cheng could only keep his mouth shut!

Yerod's success in persevering is also because their family has been here for decades, starting with his grandfather until now, he has never asked the people to do anything, nor has he received a penny from the people, this is a command handed down from his ancestors, and he has to obey it, and it is because of this that he will be loved by the people. Even if they are not Han Chinese, they still have the hearts and minds of the people.

Yelu Chenggong could only wait and see what happened, and he also sent additional personnel to inquire about the news in case the Song army attacked the city.

However, seven or eight days have passed, and they still can't see Song Jun's figure, which makes them a little unbelievable and can't figure it out.

"Lord Wang, what is Song Jun's idea?"

Yelu Chenggong frowned and shook his head, "I can't understand what they are doing again, why don't you wait until we run out of food?" ”

"Report! ……”

Everyone was discussing countermeasures, but was interrupted by an urgent voice, and then the man said anxiously: "Report to the prince, our water source is gone......

Yelu was shocked and said, "The water source is gone? What the hell is going on? ”

"I don't know!" The man said eagerly, "When the last general received the news, he immediately went to check on it, and found that the river was gradually cutting off, and the riverbed was gradually drying up, and if it continued like this, I am afraid we would have no water to use." ”

"It's not a dry season, so it's impossible to run out of water at all!" Yelu Chenggong lowered his head and pondered, and then asked, "General Xiao, is our army still confronting the Song army on the riverbank?" ”

"Back to the prince, I have never retreated!" General Xiao then added, "The last general got the news that the river was drying up, and he didn't care about it, thinking that the season had arrived, but when he woke up this morning, he found that there was only some water in some low-lying places, and all the other places were exposed." ”

"The last general is here today to report this matter!"

Yelu successfully nodded, "I'm afraid this matter is a little strange!" ”

"If according to the experience of previous years, it has not completely dried up at this time, even if the river recedes, it will not be possible to be so fast, I am afraid that the Song army will cut off the river and leave us with no water available!"

"Lord, then what should I do next?"

Yelu Chenggong said solemnly: "We don't have much food and grass, if we hold on, there is no way, and the Song army has not attacked, presumably waiting for us to run out of water to use, and then attack the city." ”

"Now we have no way to retreat, for today's plan, we can only fight to the death with the Song army. If we can't repel the Song army, then we can only sit back and die. Instead of doing nothing, it is better to fight and defeat the Song army, and there is still a glimmer of life. ”

"Pass my military order, all the generals will have a good time today, and tomorrow we will fight to the death with the Song army!"

"Yes!" Everyone immediately bowed down to receive the order, and they all knew that tomorrow's battle would be a matter of victory and defeat, as well as life and death.
