Chapter 190: A Hundred Miles of Rush (Fourth Update)
"Hmph, a small Liao team city, how can you invite Shenhou to come and take it personally, the old man sees that the enemy general must be an unknown young general, okay, everyone relax, there are 5,000 defenders in the city, with the strong city under your feet, see how the enemy army can take it." Gongsun Yin's nervous mood relaxed, patted the city wall, and said with a smile.
When he heard Gongsun Yin call the Liao team a strong city, including Xiao Xiaoxiao, they all twitched their faces, don't overdo it, don't dare to let Gongsun Yin see his expression.
Although the Liao team is the western defense line of Xiangping, the problem is that the Liao team is flat and there is no danger to defend at all, so the Liao team city is not taken seriously, and Gongsun Du let Gongsun Yin garrison the Liao team, which is just an attitude.
Gongsun Du knew very well that if the Crow Ridge was lost, those county soldiers inside Liaodong alone would not be the opponent of the Tianci army at all, even if there was a city in hand, it would not work, as the lord of the frontier, Gongsun Du still had self-knowledge of his own strength.
In fact, Gongsun Yin didn't know that Liao Team City couldn't hold on at all? However, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, it can only be said that Gongsun Yin understands very well that the next day is afraid that it will be very sad.
The Tianci army is good at fighting, the world is famous, in the past, the Southern Xiongnu rebelled, and the county town was captured by the Tianci army who returned to the division in only one hour, which shows how strong the Tianci army is to attack the city and pull out the village, of course, there are also reasons why the Southern Xiongnu are not good at defending and not preparing in advance.
"Order, prepare big stones and boiling oil and other materials to defend the city, prepare more planks, if it is not enough, dismantle it from the people's homes, the enemy's crossbow arrows are very strong, if you don't want to die, put a few more planks in front of yourself, go quickly!!" After Gongsun Yin saw the Tianci army roughly camped, he did not directly attack the city, but most of them entered the camp, and only the cavalry kept wandering around the periphery, responsible for encircling the Liao team county.
"No!" The little colonel listened to Gongsun Yin's order and hurriedly left to prepare.
Frowning, after the little colonel left, Gongsun Yin called a house slave who came with him, and whispered in his ear: "You immediately escape from the secret passage of the Liao team county, it is best to rush to Xiangping within three days, and tell Xuanwu to guard the prince Qi Chou, and say that the Tianci army is coming in a big way, quickly play the lord, and ask the lord to return to help immediately." ”
"No!" The house slave nodded, his expression unchanged.
"Wait." Seeing that the house slave was about to leave, Gongsun Yin grabbed the house slave, took out a token from his arms, put it in the hand of the house slave, and continued to attach it to his ear and said: "If Xiangping has also been surrounded, you go directly north, enter the Zhangwu grassland, and report the situation in the rear to the lord, this is the seal of this lord, as long as the lord sees the seal, he will definitely meet you." ”
"Got it, sir!" The house slave raised his head to look at Gongsun Yin, only to see that Gongsun Yin was no longer proud of his appearance, with some cold sweat on his forehead, biting his lip, unable to say that he was tired.
"Let's go" Gongsun Yin waved his hand tiredly, although he knew that it was very likely that the house slave would not be able to escape even a radius of fifty miles from the county seat of the Yin team, but it was also a hope, wasn't it?
After accepting the county seat of the Liao team, Gongsun Yin created a secret passage in the starry night, which led directly to a small forest outside the city, just bypassing the cruising range of the cavalry of the Tianci Army.
In fact, even if you let Gongsun Du know, what can you do? Zhangwu is now in a stalemate, does Gongsun Du dare to withdraw all at once? Dare to retreat to Liaodong in a hurry under Liu Tai's watchful eye?
============
When the air was in the air, bursts of heat came to his face, like a stove, his lips were dry, and he was covered in sweat, so he was not uncomfortable.
"The whole army rests for half an hour!!" Gao Shun turned his head, looked at the 10,000 iron cavalry and the 3,000 trapped camps following behind him, the tired look, and said with a loud shout.
"No!!" The cavalry division commander bowed his hand to Gao Shun, and hurriedly went down to order to stop the march and rest for half an hour.
"Ye Lang, where has the army marched?" Gao Shun took the kettle tied to the horse, took a sip, kicked a few times, and asked Ye Lang on the side.
Since Ao Wu left, Ye Lang has been temporarily promoted from the commander of the sixth company to the position of the commander of the trapped camp, responsible for the normal operation of the trapped camp.
"General Qiyu, our army has been traveling all night, and now it has passed the Liao team, and it is still more than 180 miles away from the Xiangping Zhizhi." Covering his eyes, he glanced up at Lie Yue, licked his dry lips, wiped a handful of hot sweat, and Ye Lang said to Gao Shun.
"Well, now it is not easy to march in the air, so hide in the shade and rest for a while, if there are too many brothers suffering from heat stroke, the time can be delayed for another half an hour." A feeling of dizziness came, a bitter smile hung on the corner of Gao Shun's mouth, and the sequelae of the forced rapid march came out, and as soon as he stopped, all kinds of problems that had been suppressed erupted together, but under such a fierce voice, he did not stop marching, and he was afraid that even if he arrived in Xiangping County, he would not be able to fight again.
Xiangping is the seat of Liaodong, in addition to the Liao team, almost the entire county soldiers of Liaodong are gathered in Xiangping, at least more than 20,000, and Xiangping is the first fortified city in the northeast, how can it be so easy to take?
"If you have anything to say, when did you develop the habit of spitting?" Gao Shun saw Ye Lang's embarrassed look, opened his mouth to speak, but didn't say anything, frowned, and said dissatisfied.
"General Qiyu" Ye Lang arched his hand at Gao Shun, and said with an embarrassed face: "Most of the brothers who are trapped in the camp are foot soldiers, and now they are marching on war horses, and many brothers can't stand it, please allow the general to rest for a few more hours." ”
"Humph!!" Gao Shun let out a cold sweat, looked around at the location where the camp was, and sure enough, he saw that most of the people were lying on the back of the horse, constantly kicking and kicking, covered in sweat, and some people even fell under the horse and passed out.
The trapped camp is a foot soldier, not a cavalry, and the cavalry unit of the Tianci Army is trained on a war horse all year round, except for the necessary food, almost the horse body does not leave the buttocks, and sometimes even sleeps on the horse, so that the elite iron cavalry of the Tianci Army is comparable to the steppe wolf ride, and there is no major problem in traveling hundreds of miles.
But the problem is that not all God-given troops have such a good environment and conditions to cultivate, and the foot soldiers have to be trained, and the training is always impossible to take right away? There are a lot of tricks for foot soldiers, there are sword soldiers, shield soldiers or something, but the cavalry is very monotonous, the most important thing is the spear unit responsible for the frontal impact, as long as you sit on the war horse, keep charging, and keep the bayonet.
"Tell the brethren that even if they faint, they must give the general a faint horse, and when he is sober, he will go to the brothers of the cavalry unit for advice, why they have no problem galloping hundreds of miles on horseback, why are they so bad, is it possible that the brothers in the camp are not as good as the brothers in the cavalry troops?" Gao Shun stared at Ye Lang coldly, and found that Ye Lang also had a pale face, and his face was torn apart.
"Ahem, my subordinates know." Ye Lang circled his head, smiled awkwardly, and then hurriedly went down to tell Gao Shun what he meant.
In fact, Ye Lang didn't know that the reason why the camp was like this was because the brothers in the camp were too arrogant in their surnames, and they disdained to consult the soldiers of the cavalry troops, because in their eyes, they were pro-soldiers, brave and good at fighting in the camp, the king of the foot soldiers, and the cavalry troops beside them were just the most ordinary cavalry, how could they lower their arrogant heads to ask for advice?
