Chapter 362 If you are poor, you will think about change
The sky was bright and dark, dark and bright.
It was September 16, and the sun rose in the east.
The morning sun sprinkled thousands of rays of light through the black and red Taihang Mountains, located in the wilderness east of Fuyang City, the frost on the blades of grass slowly melted, and the crystal shimmering water droplets seeped into the loess with scarlet blood.
The loess is damp, and the "soil spots" that are either solidified and blackened or bright red are spread out in spots, dotted with stumps, smeared with organs, and corpses are like fine fluff, everywhere, and the mythical demon gods of the whole land are like, bloodthirsty and demonic, ugly and brutalβit devours the lives of living beings, and also devours the patience and determination of countless people.
When Uyan climbed up to the watchtower located in the northwest corner of the camp, he lowered his positive and negative hands and looked west, stunned.
Wu Yan also looked over, through the mess of the battlefield, to the silent camp with fire in the west, and after a while, he looked at the city of Fuyang, which was surrounded by towering walls and soldiers, and then looked at the scene of corpses in the north, his cheeks becoming more and more angular as he gritted his teeth.
The battlefield to the north was carved out in the early hours of this morning, and when they attacked Gongsun Chan again during the night, thousands of cavalry entered the camp in the guise of returning cavalry, and then burned and slaughtered, and rode away.
The attack burned a lot of their grain and grass, killed several leaders, and caused a large-scale camp roar.
According to statistics, there were about 5,000 people on the other side, and more than 600 people died, and on their side, including craftsmen guarding the wounded, etc., the total number of dead and wounded was nearly 3,000. Two pieces of grain were destroyed, that is, 6,000 stones, and if you save a little, these 6,000 stones are enough for 6,000 people to eat for a month.
Of course, in fact, under the fierce offensive in the past few days, nearly 6,000 of the 50,000 people here have died, and the food is already abundant, and these damaged grains will not bring much pressure, but the sudden sneak attack has to be said to be a heavy blow to the morale of the army.
Since then, the origin of the sneak attackers has also been revealed in the mouths of the captives. It is said that the leader of the team, Yu Zhuzhen, saw that Gongsun Zhan's camp was in danger, and he was completely at a loss, and later he would calm down and attack at night, because Mo Hubao came to a letter and proposed a strategy, plus Yu Zhuqian seemed to have scruples about Liu Zheng, so after taking advantage of the night to find out the situation, he came to such a sneak attack by taking advantage of the situation, which also caused this side to know that the central Xianbei really intervened in the war. After being beaten by a Xianbei boy who was nearly fifteen or sixteen years old and suffered heavy losses, people's hearts began to fluctuate.
The war has been fought so far, and it has suffered repeated setbacks, with 50,000 dead and wounded totaling more than 15,000 people, and it is inevitable that it will float, but in fact, with the intervention of the Xianbei people, this time if the last straw that broke the camel's back, the disputes that had already existed in the camp became more and more fierce, and there was a tendency for people to disperse.
This will be the case, not only because Gongsun Chan has repeatedly failed to fight, and his side has been suffering losses from beginning to end, but also because a day ago, a cavalry suddenly began to wander in the south.
These cavalrymen are unknown, their intentions are unknown, every time they try to chase, these people will flee, and when they attack Gongsun Zhan, these people will suddenly appear, sometimes more than ten people, sometimes nearly a hundred, just watching from a distance, as if they are watching a play, and as if they are ready to gather people to help Gongsun Zhan at any time, this kind of similar to the tactics of the suspicious soldiers, so that this side has to divide some people to patrol and guard, annoying.
However, these are not the biggest problems, the most difficult problem at the moment is that the 50,000 people located in Guangyang County have not come to assemble for a long time, obviously when they came back yesterday morning, they brought the news that Wang Song was persuaded and had begun to gather men in the military capital with Su Muyan, but after a day, not to mention the arrival of the army, even the 10,000 vanguard army did not appear in Juyong Pass.
It is also because of this that many camp leaders and marshals are arguing, and there are those who want to ask for a war to defeat Gongsun Zhan, pursue Yu Zhuzhen, and those who want to leave, and those who propose to attack the dignitaries of Fuyang City, and I don't know when it started, and the crazy words that let him surrender and apologize to Gongsun Zhan Liu Zheng together with Bun Dun are circulating, and all kinds of ideas, the situation of being united and high morale has already shown signs of falling apart at this time.
Wu Yan also understands that these people have such thoughts, also because there seems to be plenty of time, but in fact there is not much.
Don't look at them uniting with Wang Song, breaking through the Yellow Turban Army and Gongsun Yue in one fell swoop, and also occupying the military capital in the north of Guangyang, Changping, and fighting until Fuyang City, no one is stupid, the more time they stay here, the more time those Yellow Turban Army and Gongsun Zhan troops will have to prepare, plus Yu Zhuji, who retreated with one blow, and the forces that may exist behind those people in the south, if they really swarm and fight, it is really difficult to say whether they will win or lose.
What's more, they sent 100,000 people over this time, and the tribes left in the east and northeast of Youzhou were much empty, and they didn't know how many tribal civil wars would occur during this time, or they would be attacked by people who took the opportunity to sneak attack. Otherwise, no one would have thought of the end of the day, not to mention the heavy casualties, and the benefits would not be reaped at all. These people will quarrel, and it is not without their crooked intentions.
"Done arguing?" He suddenly spoke, his face still facing west, and the five fingers of his right hand, which was holding the railing, turned white, "Your Excellency...... It's a matter of trouble. β
From the first battle launched by Wuyan four days ago, which was defeated by Gongsun Chan with a Pegasus lime array, and in the next few days, it rained occasionally, and Aropan also went out of the city to convey the meaning of Wanton - asking them not to kill the prisoners again, and gathered men to destroy Gongsun Chan in one go - while waiting for Su Muyan and Wang Song, Wuyan did not completely stand still, and while arranging manpower to trap Gongsun Chan and others, he also launched several battles or harassment or attacks, trying to make Gongsun Chan and others tired of coping, and even completely collapsed.
However, a few days have passed, judging from the frequency of use and the area of lethality, the bed ballista driver crossbow on Gongsun Zhan's side has been damaged a lot, and the casualties are estimated to be more than 2,000, but they still show a resolute posture of not dying, in comparison, the tens of thousands of Wuhuan people who can feel the atmosphere in the camp will of course feel that they have suffered heavy casualties, so their morale is also relatively low, and there is a lot of gossip about the repeated defeats of Wuyan's command.
He knew that their side was not good at attacking tough battles, and their equipment and ordnance were not as good as the other party, and it was understandable that the casualties were a little larger, and Wuyan was a little embarrassed except for the first defeat, but the frequency of attacks and harassment after that was not sloppy at all, according to his estimates, the remaining seven or eight thousand people of Gongsun Chan were absolutely harassed and couldn't sleep, but they were still full of momentum at this time, and if they stayed for a longer time, they would inevitably be tired and even collapse without attacking.
It's just that the subordinates listened to these things at first, and they still forgot about the scene in front of them, and based on various interests and considerations, the attitude was naturally worse. It can be said that Wuyan's prestige has now been reduced to the lowest, and he has been scolded by many people, and even when he came here, he passed by the handsome tent and heard a few words about the confrontation of several leaders and marshals against Wuyan.
Of course, he felt guilty about this, after all, Wuyan had always protected and defended him, and in the eyes of many people, the fundamental reason for this war was that he did not choose to say anything when he went south to Zhuoxian.
"If you really feel that you are causing trouble, you should give me advice at this time. Being so perfunctory, learning from those soft eggs to count the losses in my ears, not to mention the solution, will only make me dissatisfied. Wu Yan smiled and patted his shoulder, "What good plan can you come up with here?" β
"Yes." Wu Yan was stunned when he heard this, and saw that he took out a piece of slip from his arms, "But I still have to tell you bad news first." β
Wu Yan took it and said with a wry smile: "Didn't I send someone over to urge last night." Word came just now when you were deliberating. Oh, I also reminded me for the sake of the army's heart, if it's bad news, don't make a big fuss when you come back, I didn't expect to really give me this ......"
He waved his hand towards the watchtower where no one was around, "I'll be the only one left here, and I'm afraid that people will see that I'm in a bad mood." β
Wu Yan hurriedly looked down, and his breath immediately stagnated: "Gongsun Yue ......" He subconsciously glanced around, and saw that the people downstairs couldn't see the situation here, so he came to the side of Badun, with a solemn expression, "Didn't hit the plan?!" β
"Your Excellency doesn't believe Wang Song, don't you believe Lord Su Fuyan's notes?" A slight smile was awarded.
Wang Song Su Fu Yan has not been able to do so far, and it is naturally not that he has not sent someone to urge, but according to this Jane, yesterday Su Fu Yan Wang Song led the army to prepare to set off, and suddenly found a few deserters near the military capital, and then interrogated, only to find that those deserters were Gongsun Yue's people, and then learned that Gongsun Yue with 10,000 cavalry from the Changping area, has been dormant in the Taihang Mountains for a day and a night, it is said that after a rest, ready to attack Juyong Pass along the foot of the mountain at night.
It is also for this reason that Wang Song and Su Fuyan drove the army directly to the Taihang Mountains yesterday.
Originally, it was not that there were no people sent over to deliver the letter, but I didn't expect Gongsun Yue to send people to rob the road in order to prevent the Juyong Pass guards from going to support, and those deserters were even more seducing the army over, after the army arrived at the Taihang Mountains and sent people to search the mountain, Gongsun Yue first let the people who had been ambushed release the rolling wood and led people up the mountain, and then took about 8,000 cavalry to kill from the vicinity, so that the army that had to stay at the foot of the mountain was in chaos and was killed to the point that the army could not be defeated.
If it hadn't rained during this period, most of the people who would have gone up the mountain to search would have died, but because of this, the guards at Juyong Pass and the people at this end of the Taihang Mountains would not have been able to know the real situation.
After that, Wang Song and Su Fuyan collected the defeated army, and naturally he was so angry that he sent people to search the mountains and pursue them, and also sent people back to sit in the military capital, and asked people to send letters to Fuyang and Changping.
In this way, Gongsun Yue had no chance to attack at night, but their 60,000 people were also left there, and they had to look at the situation before deciding whether to come over or not.
When Wu Yan digested the news, the shock in his heart was difficult to add, "Gongsun Yue also has such an ability?" He didn't forget, he said when he came back this time, there was a strategist from Changping, from the Han court, which of those characters was not scheming, plus Gongsun Du and Yang County ordered them to respond from the side, but he didn't expect Gongsun Yue to see through the situation, instead of going to Yuyang, he brought people here.
"Yuyang is Wang Song's territory after all, Gongsun Yue should know that it is not easy to break through, and it is even more difficult to rush to Lingzhi to save people, plus Gongsun Zhan's life is worried, so I want to give up the distance and come here to explore the situation, even if I can make my doppelganger lack skills."
"If that's the case, it's going to be difficult for me to wait for the situation here......"
Wu Yan's tone was slow and solemn, and then he reacted, "You just said that you have a plan? Let's hear it. β
He nodded, "I asked the messenger to ask Wang Song to bring his troops over." β
"What do you mean?" Wu Yan was stunned, looked to the west, and saw that someone in the camp in the west began to extinguish the fire brazier, and some people sang loudly, as if they were in a very good mood, and said with his eyebrows: "Gongsun Zhan is afraid that he will not listen to Wang Song's persuasion to surrender......"
As if he had thought of something, he suddenly looked at the towering frustrating city wall on one side, "Are you going to use Wang Song to let Weidun have a grace period of a few more days?" β
His cheeks bulged from time to time with the touch of his tongue, and he also looked at Fuyang City, his eyes narrowed, "I plan to let Wang Song capture Fuyang City." β
Wu Yan's breath tightened, "The guy in Tail Dun seems to be arrogant and unreasonable, he can be a guard, and he is also a person who is rough and fine, not to mention that he started as a captain, and the use of soldiers should not be underestimated...... Do you really believe that he only has 10,000 soldiers? Do you really believe that he is not secretly guarding against us and us? If I miss a blow, I can ...... later."
"There's no time." His gaze became sharper and sharper, and the side face that was already a little sharp became more and more angular, and the momentum was difficult to hide, "Those people in the south, Yu Zhuyu, or Mo Hubao behind him, as well as Gongsun Yue, Liu Zheng, and the soldiers of Shanggu County, Guangyang County...... Once dragged on, anything can happen. I waited all the way to speed up, and I was already thinking that they would be caught off guard, and if I dragged it on, I would ......"
He paused, "My lord, you know these things, the people below, as well as Gongsun Chan and Wei Dun, everyone knows about them." Everyone is waiting, waiting for someone to open up the situation, but Gongsun Du Tiger and Wolf People, Pu Fulu is already crazy, and the Wuhuan Department of Shanggu is even more hungry by Mo Huba...... The man behind the strategist also tried to catch the wolf empty-handed. At this moment, I can't wait for more help! β
He looked at Wuyan and said loudly: "The so-called poor will change, change will be successful, and general will be reached!" My lord, Lord Badun is concerned about my Wuhuan livelihood for a hundred years, and I can't help it, but now I am waiting for us and Gongsun Chan to lose both, he is so easy to reap the benefits of the fisherman, where is it so easy? ! Since he doesn't help on either side, then I'll have to ask for it myself! β
Wu Yan's eyes flickered a few times, and he glanced at the camp to the west, "That Gongsun Zhan ......"
He squinted at the corpses all over the battlefield, gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "If he dares to come, I will just catch them all!" β
In the middle of the words, a cold light suddenly rose to the sky from the west and fell on the battlefield again, and someone on the opposite side shouted, "Sister Louban! Aunt Wuyan! Awarded the puppy! The knife has been sharpened, the bow has been opened, last night you were attacked by someone, we are waiting for the victory without martial arts, today dare to fight again! β
The shouts were endless, looking downstairs, at the door of a felt tent, someone cried "wow", and then bent the bow and arrow, and an arrow shot on the roof of the watchtower, shouting hoarsely: "Uncle Wuyan! Awarded brother! Kill them! Kill them for me! β
Wu Yan looked at the arrow above his head that grazed his face, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, "Or, you can send him back......"
"Can't go. There is no one in this camp who wants Lord Lou Ban to come back more than Lord Lou Ban. If he leaves, the morale of the army will definitely be unstable, and maybe many people will follow him and leave. As he spoke, he leaned over and stepped on the ladder and smiled, "Don't you think that although Lord Lou Ban is still ignorant, this voice is quite like that of Lord Qiu Liju?" Moreover, his strength is not small, and his archery skills are also quite skilled, if he has been trained for three years and five years, he will definitely be better than Kebineng's son-in-law Yu Zhuyu. As for Gongsun Chan......"
He turned his head to look at the west, listening to the lack of qi hidden in the shouting, and the corners of his mouth hooked, "Let them shout, we will wait for the cooking to recuperate, and when Wang Song arrives, see if they dare to leave the camp!" β
As he spoke, he looked at the city wall in the northwest, his eyes seemed to see something over the city wall, and his tone became a little fierce, "If this matter is done well, maybe we can still whip Ning County." It's a big deal, go back from the outside of the plug...... It's not that he can't teach Mo Hubao a lesson with Putou. β
Wu Yan's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "If it weren't for the fact that you and Su Muyan were already a son-in-law, I really wanted you to inherit my tribe and be the king of Beiping." β
