Chapter Fifty-Nine: Diversion to the North
"Poof"
Just when Huertai was stunned, Fang Yue's spear had been directly inserted into Huertai's chest. In Huertai's last consciousness, his wife and children in the grassland appeared, and their appearance became more and more blurred, and finally turned into a black hole.
Huertai's death, Toda's rout, means that the first round of siege failed, Fang Yue stood on the city tower and looked at the Hun army retreating like a tide, his heart was not happy because of the temporary victory, the hole cards of both sides were already known, and the next attack was either you dead or I lived.
"Hurry up and rest, there's a fierce battle ahead......"
Fang Yue said to the soldiers who were already exhausted, after three hours of fierce fighting, his physical strength had already been exhausted, and when he heard that the soldiers who could rest for the time being, they couldn't care so much, so they directly lay in the pool of blood left by their companions, closed their eyes and fell asleep.
"General Fang, you also go eat something and take a rest, I'm guarding here." Li Ergou looked at Fang Yue, who had a solemn expression, and said with concern, Fang Yue was still injured at the moment, and the battle just now was very expensive for Fang Yue.
"Yes." Fang Yue knew his situation, and without saying much, he nodded to Li Ergou, turned around and went down the city tower.
"Mr. Wenshan, Mr. Ji Jue won this battle, but it is not enough to repel the Huns, I expect that the Huns will inevitably take advantage of the situation tonight to launch a general attack, a most worried is that the Huns attack together, our army is few, if you divide the troops to guard the gates, it is estimated that they will be broken one by one......"
Fang Yue did not go to rest, but hurried to the temporary tent, Xue Wenshan, Cui Yan, Pei Yuanshao and others were already waiting here, Xue Baihu did not follow, but took the soldiers to inspect the city, what he was most afraid of at the moment was civil strife.
"General Fang's talent is suitable, and the Zhang family and the Li family have sent people to send 5,000 servants to help us defend the city."
"Oh?" Fang Yue raised his eyebrows, a smile appeared on his face, although the five thousand servants did not have much combat strength, but sending arrows and stones to the city and carrying the wounded soldiers was still of great help.
At present, there are a total of 15,000 available troops in Shangdang County (9,000 people left behind, 1,000 remnants of Li Tong, 8,000 cavalry led by Pei Yuanshao, and 3,000 losses in today's battle) plus 5,000 domestic servants, barely 20,000 people, and Yu Fuluo currently has 40,000 elite soldiers, including 20,000 elite cavalry.
Fang Yue frowned and looked at the hanging city defense map, thinking about the next layout, and suddenly his brows relaxed, and he said.
.....
"Waste, rice buckets, ......"
In the big tent of the Hun army, Yu Fuluo was scolding Toda with his head and face at the moment.
Five thousand grassland boys were 'lost' under the Shangdang City, and Huertai was even killed in battle, which made Yu Fuluo feel painful.
"Leader, the Han general is brave, a certain and Huertai can barely suppress it, and then there are Han generals to rescue, and a certain one is caught off guard to have this defeat...... "What Toda has to do now is to make Yu Fuluo feel that Huertai's death has nothing to do with his escape, and he wants to put the responsibility for all this on the Han general Fang Yue.
"Leader, according to a certain look, the combat strength of the defenders of this city is average, if it is not my grassland boy's opponent, today's defeat is caused by the Han army occupying the sharp weapon of defending the city, thinking that our army has a large number of people, and it should be divided and attacked, feint on three sides, attack one side of the main attack, disperse the defenders' strength, and break the city in one battle!"
What Toda said was reasonable, the head of the analysis was the Tao, and he could hear Yu Fuluo nodding again and again, and when Toda finished speaking, Yu Furo stood up suddenly, and looked at Toda angrily for a long time without saying a word, and Toda was a little hairy in his heart, and he was about to open his mouth to accuse Yu Fuluo.
"Fuck, why didn't you say it earlier, why did you have this strategy to defeat today, Huer Taiyan can die in battle!!"
Hearing Evro's almost roaring, Toda quickly fell to his knees.
"Chief, the last general...... The last will be convicted. ”
"Order the three armies, immediately bury the pot and make rice, attack the party tonight, and vow not to withdraw the troops if the city is not broken." Huvro said to the heralds that his determination to break the party was self-evident.
"You, you, and you each led 2,000 people, beating drums and shouting at the north gate, south gate, and west gate, and brought cloud ladders to make a siege of the city, Toda I am giving you 10,000 horses this time, and it is bound to take the east gate ...... me, if the city is broken, you will attack, and if you are defeated, you will come to see ."
"Boss, don't worry, this time I will definitely take this city!"
Toda's tone was affirmative, with an aura of immortality.
"Good, good, good"
Yu Furluo said three good words, ordered Tuoda and the other four to come and go to prepare, and he picked up a cup of mare's milk wine, and looked at the Shangdang County city drawn on the map, as if admiring a naked beauty.
"Zhou Duwei was calculated by you to occupy the party, this time the party will definitely fall into my hands, I really want to see what kind of expression you have when you are about to become a prisoner on the street? Hahahaha......"
……
The Zhoucang camp is 300 miles away from Shangchang.
"Lord, according to the news from the spies, the first wave of attack by the Huns was ushered in in Shangdang City yesterday......"
Xu Huang, Zhang Ren and others gathered in front of the collapse, and Zhang Ren looked at the map placed on the collapse and said.
"The first day was just a tentative attack, the purpose was just to confirm how many defenders there were in the city, what the combat strength was, and then the bloody battle was ......" Xu Huang took Zhang Ren's words and continued, Xu Huang's military literacy was indeed not simple, and he simply saw through the intentions of the Hun army.
"I believe in Fang Yue, with Fang Yue's ability, it will not be a problem to resist Yu Fuluo." Self-confidence, absolute self-confidence, Zhou Cang Fang Yue's military talent is incomparably certain, even in the face of 40,000 Hun elites, with Fang Yue's ability, he will definitely be able to hold the party.
At that time, when I just received the information that Hedong was slaughtered, I suddenly became angry and bloody, and I only thought about scraping Yu Fuluo with a thousand knives, so I led the whole army to come back to help, and at this moment I calmed down and found that I was very stupid, the Hun army was scattered, and Hedong was looted, and the Hun army at this moment must be all big bags and small bags, to defeat such a group of 'bandits', why do you need the whole army to come back to help, not to mention that the whole army is very expensive to return to help, Zhou Cang is a good boy who knows his mistakes and changes them, since he is wrong, then change them, as for face or something, is it so important?
"Gongming, Ren Zhi (Zhang Ren's words, take them casually, if you have a book friend who knows Zhang Ren's words, please leave a message, reward Dian Wei, and Dian Zhuangshi kiss one) I gave the wrong order because of my hot head a while ago, and now I think about my own mistakes, and I decided to lead 10,000 troops alone to save the party, and the two of you led the remaining 20,000 troops to reroute north to cross Mayi, and set foot in the clouds."
Yunzhong County has been occupied by the Xiongnu for many years, and at this moment the Xiongnu are in the place where the Qiang Canal is located.
"Yes, my lord." The two of them didn't have much disgust with Zhou Cang's move, anyway, they both killed the Huns, where to fight is different, there is not much difference, the two turned around and prepared to lead the army to set off.
"Wait a minute......"
