Chapter 468: A Dead End
(Thank you ~ Sima Changkai, Sailorren, Qiuhuoshi, Olytis, Zhuo Wei, Zhijie Gongbo, I am Xiaoying 02 for your support, thank you!) )——
When heaven and earth come together, the heroes are not free.
The military capital was closed, Daman went south to encircle and suppress Li Jing, who was ambushed in Shaliangpo, led 10,000 soldiers and horses, and fled back to Huai'an City alone and retreated to Ulzhou in the starry night.
Hearing the news, it was as if the sky had fallen, and Kuhezhen's eyes went dark, and he collapsed to the ground at once. After his subordinates woke him up, his eyes were straight and he couldn't say a word for a long time. He never thought that he was in a good shape, and he was advancing vigorously, seeing that sweeping the north of the Dynasty was about to attack Hebei, and in the blink of an eye, it was already a gloomy cloud, and the overall situation collapsed. Daman's 50,000 soldiers and horses did not even take a small Huai'an, but had fled in a hurry, only sending a messenger over, and refused to even advance and retreat together.
"This must be a trick of the Southern Barbarians, and it is fake news." Ku Hezhen's nephew, Du Lan's younger brother Yu Suliu Special Service hissed with red eyes.
The head of the special service also echoed, "Now there are 10,000 soldiers and horses of Dou Jiande in the west, and we have long been cut off from the Daman army. ”
≈∈
Trick a bird! Ku Hezhen knew that Yu Suliu and Yin Tou were just deceiving themselves.
He had seen the messenger himself, and had asked for details, and he knew him. And there are no problems with the details that are said. Moreover, the messenger brings bad news. It is exactly what the Sui army is happy to see, and there is no need to stop it. Now that they have gathered him around him, there is no need for such a trick. Kuhe's heart is really uneasy, and he has a feeling of uncertainty about the future. The generals in front of the battle under the military capital, he suffered heavy losses, Yang Lin dispatched five tigers and eight biao, none of them were damaged, but he broke more than 30 generals. Even the first fierce general under his command, An Lejia, the son of King An, died under Qiao Zhongkui's knife, and Anlejia overestimated the sharpness of his Persian horse, and the two faced off. He directly slashed Qiao Zhongkui with a knife, wanting to make a contribution with the sharpness of the sword. As a result, Qiao Zhongkui actually raised his knife to greet him, and the result was much to An Lejia's surprise, his Persian treasure knife not only did not cut Qiao Zhongkui's knife, but was cut off by Qiao Zhongkui's knife, and then he was shocked and stabbed to death by Qiao Zhongkui taking advantage of the situation. The brave general he was looking forward to the most, but he died the fastest, and he died as soon as he joined in. Kuhe, who was angry that day, really responded to Yang Lin's arrogant challenge after that. Then by the time he came to his senses, he had already fallen under Yang Lin's horses. Immediately afterwards, it was reported that when An Xida's 10,000 soldiers and horses were ordered to come back, they were annihilated by Dou Jiande at Feilai Peak.
Now, Dammam is running again.
The shape shì is gray.
Next. Yang Lin should immediately encircle and attack him, this is certain, what should he do?
Lead the remaining 20,000 soldiers and horses to confront Yang Lin head-on. That's not the way to go. If the time had passed to half a month ago, Yang Lin would have dared to go out of the customs with thirty or forty thousand people to surround him. That's what he's very happy to see. But now, the morale of the army is complete. Morale is low, and with his current 20,000 panicked army that has no will at all, it is clearly looking for death. Can you learn from Daman, retreat south, retreat to Ulzhou, where there were still 20,000 of his soldiers and horses, and now it is estimated that there are more than half left, and Daman also has 20,000 people there, and now it is estimated that there are still half, plus Daman's 10,000 people, if they can reunite in Ulzhou, then they can still make up about 50,000. Although it is only half of what they came to, it is still stronger than now, plus Dulan in Yunnei still has 50,000 soldiers and horses, if they can get closer, this is also an army of 100,000.
But the road to the south is no longer passable, Ku Hezhen received a reprimand from the rangers yesterday, saying that there are Sui troops on the two passages to the south and Ulzhou, he didn't pay much attention to it at that time, just thought it was a small group of Sui army scouts, but now it seems that it is clearly the Li Jing army that defeated Daman, and they have gone around to block the road to Ulzhou. It's ridiculous that Daman guy abandoned himself and ran away alone, but he didn't expect that since people could defeat you head-on, they would definitely not let you run away lightly.
Yang Lin was really vicious enough, he was bent on showing weakness before, luring them to divide his troops to the east, and when he went all the way to the military capital pass, and also divided 20,000 horses to prepare to attack the Flying Fox Pass, he attacked, and all of a sudden it was a thunderbolt, and they were broken one by one. Now, he and Daman have 30,000 horses left, but they are completely trapped in this Yanzhou, and they can't enter the east, and they are blocked by Jundu Pass and Flying Fox Pass, and they can't go north and north, Daning Pass is not down, and Wild Fox Fort is guarded. It is not possible to retreat westward, the two cities of Huai'an and Tiancheng are blocked, and the only way to retreat is to withdraw south, but the Sui army has also seized the two key points of Caogou and Shimen. Their 30,000 horses have been surrounded by the Sui army, and they want to beat the dogs behind closed doors, and they can't run away if they want to.
If you can't win, you can't run, so what's left?
He knew in his heart that the only way out was to surrender.
But he was not reconciled, he thought that he had not yet reached that point, he still had 20,000 people in his hands, Daman still had 10,000 people in his hands, Ulzhou still had more than 20,000 people, and there were 50,000 people in Yunnei, and there were 50,000 people in Mudli, in addition, the 100,000 Tiele army in Mobei was heading south, and they were only losing 50,000 people, but there were still 150,000 people, and there were still 100,000 soldiers and horses coming. He still has a chance, even if the Sui people surround him, so what, if they want to eat them, the Sui army must have a good tooth. As long as he holds on, Du Lan and Nili will definitely know the news here, and when they lead troops to help, they will definitely be able to rescue them, and even they can join forces to fight back against the Sui army.
He can't be caught and killed.
So, after a long groan, he summoned the generals in the camp and asked them to trap the camp, cut down the wood, dig ditches and plant stakes, erect horses, build a strong camp fence, and prepare to hold on to the camp. At the same time, he sent an envoy to Dammam and told him to lead his troops back and come here to join him and hold out together.
Ku Hezhen's actions can't be concealed from Yi Feng.
In the military capital, Yi Feng was also holding a military meeting.
The large sand table in the middle of the military chamber, on which many of the blue flags representing the Turks were removed, along with fifty puppet knights representing a thousand horsemen each. The cities that fell in Yanzhou have been recovered one after another, and the red flag representing the Sui army has been replanted, and at the same time, on the sand table, Yi Feng's troops have also increased by 30,000 Turkic troops.
"It's great!" Yi Feng smiled, things could come to this point, which had greatly exceeded his original expectations. He didn't expect the Turks to go all out eastward, nor did he expect Gao Gong to want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but no one could have expected that the situation would be such a result in the end.
There was no vicious fighting, no heavy damage, and they had already beaten Daman and Kuhezhen and crippled them. Speaking of which, Li Jingdang is the first meritorious, followed by Dou Jiande, of course, the rest of the departments are also outstanding, including the generals of the military capital, especially the five tigers and eight biao of the former state, this time the table is extremely eye-catching, the fighting generals in front of the battle, the morale of the Kuhezhen army that was killed plummeted, and it was unbearable.
Everyone is very optimistic about today's shape shì, and the discussion is very lively.
When Yi Feng asked everyone to talk about the next plan, everyone thought it was very simple, now that the offense and defense are easy to attack, what plan is needed, since Kuhezhen and Daman have become locked dogs, then just fight directly.
Li Min, the governor of Xuanzhou, is a representative of this view, and he said to Yi Feng in high spirits: "Your Highness, what is there to discuss here, right now, it is right to attack with a dignified and upright army, attack with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, and sweep and annihilate them in one fell swoop." ”
Yi Feng smiled noncommittally. "Do you have any other opinions?"
Not expressing his position itself is also an attitude, many people understand some, and someone immediately got up, but it was Feng Deyi, "The minister thinks that Li Zhuguo's words are slightly inappropriate, His Royal Highness has always said first, and he should try to avoid field battles with the Turks." Although we are now in good shape, the Turkic army surrounded by Yanzhou still has 30,000 people, and if we face off head-to-head, killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 ourselves, we will inevitably suffer a lot of casualties. Therefore, the minister thought that when the siege was not attacked, since the Turks had built a camp and held it, then we should also set up camp around him and trap them with a camp. When the Turks are in a stalemate and cannot advance or retreat, then they will not last long, they will collapse, and then we will naturally win without a fight. "Feng Lun is the best at observing faces, and has always believed that his subordinates should not have their own opinions, and the king's views are their opinions. Seeing that Yi Feng did not agree with Li Min's construction, combined with Yi Feng's previous plan of bent on preserving his strength, he immediately boasted about the plan of besieging without attacking without damaging his strength.
It's just that to his surprise, Yi Feng didn't approve of his plan on the spot, but glanced at everyone present again, "If you have any other plans, you might as well say it directly, brainstorm and collect the strengths of others." ”
"You can send someone to surrender." Liu Wenjing answered, the imperial grandson had a plan to surrender before, and he was in charge of it, but the purpose at that time was more of a delaying tactic. And now the situation is different, Liu Wenjing feels that the surrender plan can be restarted, but this time it is no longer just a delaying tactic. "Daman and Kuhezhen are already turtles in an urn, and I believe they know it themselves. The minister thought that it was not impossible to propose surrender at this time. The fact that Posh surrendered before him shows that the Turks were not incapable of surrendering. The minister asked to start the surrender plan again, and the minister was willing to send an envoy to the Turkic camp to persuade Kuhezhen. ”
Yi Feng smiled, turned his head and asked Li Mi, who was taking minutes of the meeting next to him, "Master, what do you think?" (To be continued......)
