Chapter 126: On the eve of the Great War

Entering the General Soldier's Mansion, the Chief Soldier Fang Zishao had already begun to roll call, and when it came to Gao Chong, Gao Chong responded, and then the meeting began.

Gao Chong's guess was right, according to the intelligence, the Eastern Turkic Dulan Khan wanted to avenge the last revenge, leading 270,000 troops, known as 400,000 troops to Yuyang.

"General Gao, General Li." Fang Zishao shouted.

Li Bi will be the commander of Ping'an Village, another gate of Yuyang, and the two fortresses will guard Yuyang in the shape of horns, if Yanshan Fortress is the north gate of Yuyang, Ping'an Village is the west gate.

"Yes." The two will respond to the peace.

"Your task is very heavy, you must keep the Turks out of the fortress, and the hundreds of thousands of people in Yuyang can no longer withstand the second massacre."

"Yes."

"Whatever you need, Yuyang will be fully supplied, and now you will immediately return to your positions and prepare for the upcoming battle."

"Yes."

Walking out of the General Soldier's Mansion, a cold wind came to the face, and the excitement of Gao Chong was excited, is the war about to begin?

Flying on the horse and going straight to the small courtyard, the girls were already ready to go, and when they saw Gao Chong riding the original, the girls hurriedly greeted him, "What's the situation with the young master?" Are the Turks really coming? ”

Gao Chong nodded, "Dulan Khan sent 270,000 troops to invade the territory, be careful along the way, and don't run around when you get to Youzhou." ”

"Hmm." The women nodded heavily.

"Young master, I think I regret it, I should go to the front line with you." Hu Sanniang said.

Gao Chong smiled: "Now let's not argue about this, let's go, I'm going back to the fortress." ”

"Young Master, take care." Hu Sanniang suddenly gave Gao Chong a tight hug, then jumped on the pink horse and waved to Gao Chong.

It wasn't until he couldn't see the figure of the middle girl that Gao Chong took Qin Ming and Zhong Qingbin to follow back to Yanshan Fortress.

The whole fortress is full of tense atmosphere, everyone knows that if the Turks want to attack Yuyang, they must first take the Yanshan fortress, when the bundles of arrows are distributed, the soldiers feel the foresight of the commander, the Yanshan fortress wall is high and the river is wide, three sides of the mountain and one side of the steppe, as long as the arrows are sufficient, the Turks do not have strong siege weapons, want to break through the Yanshan fortress, it is not an easy request, not to mention such a crossbow machine and trebuchet.

The siege went straight to the command post, and the generals were already waiting for his return.

"Big brother!"

The generals said in unison.

Originally, there were people who called the young master and the eldest brother, but when they really arrived in the army, the word young master would not be called again, especially when performing military affairs, the eldest brother was more than seventy years older than the young master, and most of the people naturally formed a certain law - you can shout whatever you want in peacetime, and you can call the eldest brother when you are fighting.

Gao Chong didn't get used to it at first, and he always felt that he wanted to be the boss of the gang, and he got used to it after a long time.

Gao Chong came to his position and waved his hand to everyone: "General Order, Turkic Dulan Khan,." 270,000 cavalry, known as 400,000 to invade our border, Ruolai Yuyang, our Yanshan fortress bears the brunt, now the whole army is ready for war around the clock, all personnel are divided into three groups, must be ready to fight at any time. ”

"Yes!"

A loud shout came to mind, and the whole fortress was in motion.

One day, two days and three days, Yu Yang's side was quiet, batches of arrows were sent in a steady stream, and intelligence also came, the Turkic soldiers rushed to attack Lelang, attacked for two days and two nights, Lelang fell, the general army was defeated and killed, and 100,000 soldiers and civilians in the city were slaughtered. The Turkic soldier peak pointed directly at the northern gate of the upper valley, a secluded state.

However, the Turks did not send troops to Shanggu, but ransacked the eleven counties under the jurisdiction of Shanggu, and then roared away, and according to the intelligence, it was likely to attack Yuyang.

What's going on? Why didn't the Turks attack the upper valley?

The generals stood in front of the map and discussed, and finally consulted Gao Chong, because Gao Chong participated in the battle against Dulan Khan last time, and he knew more about the Turks than these people.

Gao Chong said: "I analyze, Dulan Khan learned the lesson of the last time, and then went to steadily encroach on the tactics, and after taking all the towns around Youzhou, he was in Youzhou, so that he could attack and retreat and defend, from the prairie to Youzhou is their territory, even if they can't defeat Youzhou in the end, they will return to the grassland, and what they have stolen is enough to squander for a few years." Dulan Khan's breath is also out, this face has also been recovered, and he has enough capital to negotiate with my Dasui. ”

"The Turks don't want to fight in the capital?" Xu Ning asked.

"It's not that I don't want to, but I can't." Gao Chong said, "He uses this method to keep attacking Youzhou, and in a few years, Youzhou will become a pasture for the Turks, which is a kind of strategic encroachment." Occupy Youzhou, and the whole of Hebei will become a lamb under the horse's hooves of the Turks, and the Turks will have the final say when they want to take it. ”

Qin Ming slapped his thigh: "His grandmother drops!" The Turks have a good idea! If he doesn't come to Yanshan Fortress, as long as he comes, let him taste the power of my mace. ”

"Report!" The scout rushed to the command, "Report to the commander, fifty miles away from me, I have found a large number of Turkic soldiers, numbering more than 10,000. ”

It's finally here!

"Let's go! Go up to the city and admire the Turks. ”

When you climb the city and look out, you can see the smoke and dust in the distance, and it seems that the Turks really want to come to Yuyang.

"Wolf smoke." Gao Chong shouted.

As soon as the wolf smoke was gone, Yuyang knew that the Turks were coming.

The earth shook violently, and the galloping knights of thousands of horses could really scare the faint of heart to death, and it could also make people's blood boil, and in the distance, a black line appeared, that is, thousands of Turkic cavalry.

"All in place, crossbow ready, trebuchet ready." Gao Chong yelled.

Qin Ming rubbed his hands and said, "Big brother, how about letting me go out and meet this group of guys for a while?" ”

Gao Chong's always boundless Turkic soldiers: "Are you facing these Turks alone, or are the entire Yanshan fortress dispatched?" Now that the Turks are in full swing, even if we are equal in number to the enemy, we should avoid them first, understand? ”

Qin Ming smiled: "Big brother, I just feel that the Turks are too rampant, and I want to teach them a lesson." ”

Gao Chong glared at him, "Go and defend your territory, let the Turks attack you, and you will go find a stone to die yourself." ”

"Yes!"

Dozens of miles away. , The cavalry arrived in a blink of an eye, did not give the Sui army a chance to buffer, and encouraged the siege to begin, the Turks did not have any siege weapons, all relying on a cloud ladder and a large number of people.

Rush to the moat first, shoot ten thousand arrows at once, shoot so that the other party can't raise his head, and then swarm up the ladder to attack the city, this is a bit of a lot of people.

The siege stood on the lookout and looked out, knowing that the Turkic soldiers were within three hundred paces before giving an order: "Ballista attack." Trebuchet preparation. ”
