Chapter 466: Offense and Defense Change Hands

"You mean to get me out of the army?" Ni Li's complexion is a little bad. At the beginning, he discussed with Dulan, and it was agreed that the troops would be divided into four routes, blooming on all sides, sweeping Daibei and plugging. When assigning the direction of the attack, he used a little trick, and finally got the task of commanding the troops to attack and plug the wilderness. At the beginning, Nili thought that Huaihuang was rich, and at the same time it was in the plug, so it was the easiest to attack and could get many benefits, and it was the most cost-effective task, without going to the Great Wall to attack those dangerous fortified cities, who would have expected that Huaihuang was plugged in, and there were actually strong cities, and it was so difficult to attack. So far, he has not received any benefits, and before the attack is difficult, he has been blocked in front of Wusha Castle alive, and he has not been able to step into the wilderness so far.

"I wonder how the Dammam secret service is doing now?" Ko Wentai asked.

"It's still the news I received a few days ago, Daman and Kuhezhen have jointly swept the two prefectures of Concubine and Wei, and now Daman's soldiers are surrounding Huai'an, and Kuhezhen's Chen soldiers are all closed. A few more days have passed, and it is estimated that Daman has now taken Huai'an and Daning, and has already killed the Huai Wilderness Fox Ridge. "Niri has always been very confident in the few troops and horses to the south. Since they can easily sweep the three states of Shuo, Wei, and Fei, it should not be a problem to win the two predetermined targets of Huai'an and Daning now. ”

"Can the Khan be sure?" "If, as the Khan said, the south is progressing smoothly and Huai'an and Daning have been taken, then we may be able to simply abandon Wusha Castle now, bypass this fortified city, and let's go directly eastward to meet with Daman's special service under the Wild Fox Castle and take it together!" Wild Fox Fort, and then attack Huaihuang, when the Wusha Fort is strong, but it is just a source of water, isolated and helpless. At that time, we will take the Huaihuang Queen. It's entirely possible to come back and pull out the nail again, or simply ignore him. Or just besiege him, and then we can go back to plan. Converge with the Kuhezhen Special Service and the soldiers and horses of Dulan Khan to fight into Hebei. ”

"Bypass?" Niri Khan hesitated. Wushabao's toughness left a deep impression on him, just bypassing it like this, this is tens of thousands of elite Sui troops, leaving such an elite Sui army behind, he has to be careful not to be stabbed in the back by them at any time. If you don't bypass it and continue to fight, can you attack it? Niri shook his head in his heart, according to the current situation, his soldiers and horses were demoralized. They were all about to collapse, and the Sui army in the city was in much better condition than them. If he continues to fight, at least with the soldiers and horses in his hand, it is impossible to attack. Maybe he can bypass Usha Castle first, meet up with his son, and take Wild Fox Fort first, he doesn't believe it, Wild Fox Fort is as difficult to attack as Usha Castle. Even if the Wild Fox Fort is as strong, does the Wild Fox Fort have as many elite soldiers and horses as the one in the Wusha Castle? Even if it's as strong as in Wild Fox Castle. There are also a large number of elite soldiers and horses stationed, but after he and his son converged, it was nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, and their strength increased greatly. It shouldn't be a problem to take down a Wild Fox Castle, even if the Wild Fox Castle is difficult to bite, he can still transfer Ku Hezhen and Du Lan's soldiers to come over. Could it be that nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses can't capture a Wild Fox Fort?

"But so many soldiers were killed and wounded, so they withdrew. There is always some unwillingness. Niri sighed.

"Write it down for the time being, and kill it when you get back." Lu Wentai didn't want to bury all the Gaochang soldiers he brought here. According to Gao Changguo's original intention. They didn't want to participate in the battle between the Turks and the Sui, but they had already been conquered by the Turks and belonged to the Turks. But before Ko Wentai came, his grandfather Gaochang Wang Koji Gangu and his father Gaochang Shizi Ko Boya both instructed him that he had to protect this army no matter what, and it didn't matter if he grabbed the spoils of war or not, it was enough not to throw this army in the east. For the small country of Gaochang, this army is important. The population of Gaochang Wangcheng is only more than 30,000, and Gaochang's army is dominated by cavalry, and the cavalry is only 4,000, and the national army is less than 10,000. This time from the Sui Dynasty, Li Wentai brought 3,000 cavalry, almost all the country. Three thousand cavalry is just a drop in the bucket for the Great Sui and the Turks, and in a casual battle, maybe there will be 10,000 dead and wounded. After many days of fierce fighting under Wusha Castle, the casualties of Nili's subordinates had already exceeded 5,000, and the damage reached 10% of the total strength, while the casualties of the Sui army were fewer, and it was estimated that they were at least more than 1,000. But for Gaochang, if the 3,000 cavalry were lost in the east, it would be a heavy blow, and it would be a loss of more than half of Gaochang's elite army.

Continue to fight in Usha Castle, no one knows how many more lives will have to be filled. Among the four castles of Wusha Castle, there are 30,000 soldiers and horses, not ordinary soldiers and horses, but 30,000 defenders who are well-equipped, well-trained, well-equipped, and rich in grain and grass, and they even have an elite cavalry army of no less than 10,000 people, who can guarantee that when they are exhausted one day, the cavalry of the Sui army will not kill out of the city again, and at that time, the cavalry of the Sui army may not only kill and wound under the city for a while, but maybe the whole army counterattacks and stabs them with a fatal knife.

"In this bird weather, the rain does not stop, the bow and crossbow glue are soft, the riding and archery skills of our Turkic warriors are completely useless, and even the hooves of the war horses are all soaked and soft, and this battle really can't be fought again." Nili let out a long sigh, "Then bypass Usha Castle for the time being, let these southern barbarians live for a few more days, let their heads be stored on their heads for a few more days, and then come and clean them up after we join Daman and the other armies to clear the wasteland." After a few harsh words, Niri finally made up his mind that the city would not shed any more blood.

Yanzhou, Huai'an City.

In the governor's mansion, there was a lot of joy, and there were even two big red lanterns hanging at the door of the hall.

"Great, the Turks are arrogant, and now they have finally paid the bitter fruit, hahaha!" The Governor's Mansion Sima Yu Culture and Haha laughed, laughing very happily. These days, there are only 2,000 guards in the city plus 5,000 people, under the siege of tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers, Yu Wenhua and all day long, three shocks a day, people have lost a lot of weight, always wake up in the middle of the night, hear a little noise, think that the Turks have killed into the city. It turned out that he heard that Li Jing, who came to help, passed by Huai'an and did not enter the city, and he really complained fiercely for a while, but unexpectedly, this Li Jing really deserved to be a talented person who had been praised by the famous general Han Baohu, leading 5,000 Huaihuang cavalry, and after such a circle outside, he actually achieved such a brilliant victory, defeating one Turkic army after another, and the Turkic army recruited was 30,000, it was unimaginable, and he now admires Li Jing to death.

"Report! ~”

An officer came to report that the Turks outside the city were going to run.

"Are the Turks finally going to run away, haha, the official will go to the city to see them off in a while." Yu Wenhua and laughed.

Unexpectedly, Fang Xuanling, the commander of Huai'an County, interrupted him in a loud voice, "Chief, we can't let the Turks run away lightly, let's go to the city to drag them down." ”

Yu Wenhua and dissatisfiedly shouted to Fang Xuanling, "Fang Qiao, what nonsense are you talking about, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and there are more than 10,000 Turks outside the city, just with the two thousand weak soldiers in our city and the five thousand people, why do you say that you are dragging the Turks?" Are you crazy? If the Turks want to run, let's let him run. ”

"No, Yuwen Sima can't see the current situation clearly? Since General Li Jing went south, His Royal Highness Taisun has mobilized various units to cooperate in the battle. His Royal Highness personally led the troops and horses out of Duguan, forcing Ku Hezhen to transfer back the 10,000 soldiers and horses, and General Dou Jiande flew to the peak to set up an ambush and annihilate them. Li Yuan, Yuan Ya, and Yuan Bao of Yi, Ying, and Heng Prefectures went out of the Flying Fox and dragged the Turkic soldiers and horses in Ulzhou, so that they could not go north, so that General Li Jing first defeated Daman and then defeated the army in Yunnei going north. And now, what is in front of us is a great opportunity for a full-scale counteroffensive, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered General Li Jing to guard Tiancheng, Caogou, and Shimen, could it be that His Royal Highness the Prince's intentions Yuwen Sima still can't understand it? His Royal Highness is going to close the door and beat the dogs, catch the turtles in the urn, and take the more than 30,000 soldiers and horses led by Daman and Kuhezhen in the territory of Yanzhou, and they will not let them escape. ”

"Oh, what does that have to do with us, we just need to keep Huai'an, as for closing the door and beating the dog or catching the turtle in the urn, that's the matter of the emperor's grandson. We want soldiers or no soldiers, and if we want people, we won't join in this fun, anyway, isn't General Li Jing also our general in Fuzhou, and it is enough to have him to fight on our behalf. "Yu culture and is a thousand and ten thousand are unwilling to fight. Huai'an City has no soldiers, no one wants people, and it has to go out of the city to fight back, isn't it too long?

"What Xuan Ling said is very reasonable, now is a good time to close the door and fight the dogs, His Royal Highness Taisun is strategizing, and now the shape is very good, if General Li Jing can hold the three passes, none of these Turkic cubs who were raging in the territory of Yanzhou before will want to escape. However, we must also see that there are indeed a lot of Turkic cubs who have been besieged, at least 30,000 soldiers, and there are not many soldiers hunted by Taisun at the moment, especially General Li Jing, who needs time to stabilize the three passes, we have to help, at this time, we must not ignore it, and it can be regarded as revenge for the past. Qu Tutong, the governor of Yanzhou, greatly appreciated Fang Xuanling's mentions, and he didn't care about Yu Wenhua who just wanted to shrink into the city.

This Turkic attack, due to the previous defensive strategy of the imperial grandson, Yanzhou, which was newly established last year, can be said to have suffered a fatal blow, it was already remote, and it was not easy to develop a little bit by the momentum of the famine, as a result, the Turks came, swept through Daibei, and only one Huai'an City and a Daning Pass were left in Yanzhou, although this was the order of the imperial grandson, but he Qu Tutong as the governor of a state, also has a great responsibility. Now is a great opportunity to counterattack, if you attack, it is an opportunity to atone for your sins, how can you miss it? (To be continued......) R1292
