The words are divided into two ends.

Just when Li Ru was planning Pengcheng, the war was already in full swing on the battlefield of Youbeiping.

In Xu Wucheng, Luo Cheng was dressed in a white battle robe, which had already been dyed blood-red, and these days, they had been besieged by an army of 100,000.

"How about how long will the food in the city last?" Luo Cheng looked at the deputy general beside him and asked quietly.

"Back to the general, I'm afraid the grain and grass in the city can only last for three days." The deputy general said with a bitter face, Originally, the grain and grass hoarded in Xu Wucheng was enough for them to use, but later, when Chen Feng left, he took away more than half of the grain and grass, so that they are now stretched thin.

"Three days?" Luo Cheng heard the words of the deputy general, and silently thought about the next arrangements in his heart.

"General, do you think you will send someone to the people's homes to recruit some?" The lieutenant general couldn't help but remind.

"I'm afraid it's hard." Luo Cheng frowned, thinking about this countermeasure in his heart.

Now they have been besieged by an army of 100,000 and are unable to move, and if they want to collect grain and grass, they can only collect it from the hands of the people, but in this world, the surplus grain in the hands of the people is more important than life, how can they easily hand over the grain.

"Always give it a try." The adjutant really had no choice but to continue to suggest.

Luo Cheng didn't answer, he thought for a long time before asking: "In this way, when you go to visit the various families in the city, you will say that we will lend them some food, and we will definitely pay it back in the future." ”

In addition, Xue Rengui's letter, Luo Cheng had already received it, Xue Rengui's letter said that their reinforcements had been organized, and he wanted him to wait patiently, but he was not optimistic, and the Jin army was not a fool, and would not be indifferent to their reinforcements.

Indeed, after being designed by Xue Rengui and others to block the pursuit, Tian Feng immediately responded, threatening Guangyang City with heavy troops, and preventing Xue Rengui and others from dividing their troops.

At the same time, Tian Feng harassed the nearby counties with light cavalry, distracted Xue Rengui and others, and also tried to contain the Tang army.

Guo Jia's response was also very simple, gathering heavy troops to guard important cities, forming a defense line with the four cities of Guangyang, Anci, Yongnu, and Quanzhou, especially the other three cities except Guangyang, which were distributed in a zigzag shape, as long as 20,000 troops, properly commanded, enough to resist 100,000 troops.

As for some inconsequential towns, all of them were abandoned, as long as the Jin army was not allowed to pass, and she had to send at least 10,000 troops to reinforce Luo Cheng.

First of all, Guangyang County is the bridgehead of Jixian County, and there is a big city of Jixian County behind it, which may not be able to give up, as a strategic buffer, there is no need to defend it, as long as it can be delayed for a period of time, but then it must be held to Jixian County.

However, if the Jin army breaks through with light cavalry and goes to Youbeiping quickly, it will be a difficult problem to solve, even Guo Jia, there is no good strategy.

In fact, Tian Feng also planned to do so, he had ordered Yan Liang to cross the Tang army's defense line with 20,000 light cavalry, go straight to the right Beiping, and attack Luo Cheng's department with Yan Rou and other troops, as long as Luo Cheng was defeated, and then flank Xue Rengui back and forth, and strive to take Youzhou, and at worst, the Tang army should be limited to Shanggu, the land of Daijun.

Now, the Tang army stationed in Guangyang City has been surrounded on all sides, and the Jin army continues to attack the city day and night, with a desperate plan, and they can only defend the city to the death, unless they really can't hold it and retreat.

In Guangyang City, the Tang army only has 40,000, but the face is three times the Jin army, and the city wall of Guangyang City is not very big, and the equipment to defend the city is also insufficient, but fortunately, the siege equipment of the Jin army is not complete, and Xue Rengui is personally in command in the city, and the Jin army has not achieved much success for a while.

"Next, it depends on whether General Xiong can arrive at Youbeiping in time." Although the deployment has already been completed, Guo Jia is still a little apprehensive in his heart, if this battle fails, then the sacrifices made before and the good situation opened up will all be in vain.

"Captain Guo doesn't have to worry, General Xiong set off two days earlier than Yan Liang, with these two days, I believe that the two of them joined forces, and with the assistance of Tian Yu, they can at least drive the Karasuma people out of Youbeiping." Xue Rengui is full of confidence, there are Luo Cheng and Xiong Kuohai in Beiping on the right, although the army is not superior, but at least the combat power will not be much weaker than the other party.

In fact, the best candidate to lead the troops to reinforcements is Qi Jiguang, but Qi Jiguang wants to fortify in the Anci area to block the Jin army that may pass, and Xue Rengui needs to command in the city, so the only person who can use it is Xiongkuohai.

In this rescue, Xiongkuohai led a total of 20,000 soldiers, one person and two horses, including 15,000 foot soldiers and 5,000 cavalry, but in order to hurry, Xue Rengui specially requisitioned the war horses in the army for their use, after all, their next strategy is to defend the city, and it is impossible for the cavalry to go up to the city wall to fight, so they gave up some war horses, and the impact on them is not very great.

"Speed up!"

In the wilderness, smoke and dust were flying, and the majestic sea led 20,000 soldiers to gallop, and he didn't care about covering his mouth and nose, covering the wind and sand, and shouted loudly directly.

"The soldiers speed up, as long as we arrive in the territory of Youbeiping, we will be able to rest." The person who spoke was Tian Yu, who went to Youbeiping with the army, although he was a scholar, but the scribes of this era, the six arts were compulsory courses, including imperial archery, that is, horseback riding and archery.

Tian Yu has lived on the border for a long time, so he naturally has some martial arts to help him, but he is not a weak person, and his years of military career also make him no stranger to this kind of long-distance attack.

For the importance of this battle, Tian Yu knew very well that they could arrive in time, and they could repel Yan Rou and ensure that Youbeiping would not be lost, if it was half a step late, it would probably bury the previous good situation.

The 20,000 people only had a quarter of the cavalry, and the rest were all infantry, so the speed would inevitably be affected, so he could only continue to encourage him with words, hoping to reach Xu Wuxian where Luo Cheng was located as soon as possible.

After a rapid march all the way, Tian Yu and the others finally crossed Yuyang before the sky was completely dark, and arrived at a town in the west of Youbeiping.

This place is only a day's journey from Youbeiping, in order to replenish their strength, Tian Yu and the two decided to rest in the city for a night after discussion.

At this time, the 20,000 light cavalry led by Yan Liang had also arrived in Yuyang, and it happened that a day and a half ago, Tian Yu and others also passed by here, and the path chosen by the two sides was almost identical, but Yan Liang's marching speed was obviously much faster than Tian Yu and others.
