Chapter 1176: Mid-Fu

Previous Chapter

"Collect the troops and bury the pot to cook." With Gao Yuyao's order, the soldiers who were originally besieging the city receded like a tide. And the defenders of Licheng suddenly all collapsed on the city wall.

Huofeng was also relieved, no matter what, he finally survived today, unless Gao Yuyao attacked the city overnight. At this moment, Huofeng has already begun to consider giving up Licheng.

There is no doubt that Licheng is a big city. The state city of Qingzhou is Beihai City, but its scale and geographical location are actually not as good as Licheng. Otherwise, why didn't Gao Yuyao sit in Beihai but Licheng?

If it can be kept, Huofeng will definitely not give up easily, but the problem is that it is difficult, very difficult.

If it was originally their own territory, in fact, they would never have defended it so hard, the real problem is that Licheng belongs to the new occupation, and the people have not been annexed, so they will mobilize young and strong people to defend the city? People don't work hard at all, and it can even cause turmoil that outweighs the losses.

It is equivalent to saying that holding on to Licheng is not only to defend against the strong attack outside the city, but also to guard against possible turmoil in the city, after all, there are still many prisoners in the city who were originally defended by Licheng.

But the most important thing at this time is Qin Liangyu's side. Huofeng had already seen through Gao Yuyao's plan, and not long ago, he had already ordered someone to go out of the city from the other side to report quickly, but he didn't know if it would go well.

Outside the city, a group of no more than a thousand people quietly left.

Gao Yuyao's rare suit of light armor, with his most loyal guard, wanted to rush to the place that he had already booked. In the camp, a palace maid disguised herself as her rested in the tent. In other words, even many of their own soldiers did not know about it.

"This is the messenger sent by the Fire Phoenix?" Halfway through, he happened to meet his own scout pressing a soldier in the uniform of the Fire Phoenix side forward. After understanding its purpose, he praised: "It seems that Huofeng's achievements today are not in vain. ”

At least many people under his command didn't see Gao Yuyao's plan.

Gao Yuyao also thought, since Huo Feng can see it, can the cavalry general see through it?

But it doesn't matter. Is it really that simple?

Gao Yuyao's purpose is naturally best if he can ambush successfully, and it doesn't matter if he is still seen through. From the moment the cavalry set out, no matter how to deal with it, the initiative that had been lost could no longer be contained as before.

Another mountain road, after making sure that there was no ambush, Qin Liangyu led the troops to march again, and by now it was already dark, because the rush was smoother than expected, and it seemed that he could rush back without waiting for dawn. For the rest of the journey, there were only two places suitable for ambushes, and beyond that, it was flat.

"The whole army rested for half an hour." Rushed for a while, even if they stopped to rest for a while from time to time, but there are still some people who are sleepy and tired, since the time is in time, then take a little more recuperation, after all, it is already midnight, if the city has been broken, it is useless to rush back earlier. If it is not broken, there is no reason to break the city in the middle of the night.

Although Qin Liangyu was tired, she didn't have the idea of resting, and slowly inspected the state of the soldiers, which was generally not bad, which made her a little satisfied. Don't look at this cavalry army nominally belongs to Huofeng, but in fact, its main structure is composed of the original Bingzhou cavalry, at least most of the middle and low-level generals are veterans of the Bingzhou cavalry.

There is even a part of it, which was the first batch of cavalry at the beginning, that is, with Zhou Shaoyu's population migration, the people were escorted all the way from Bingzhou to Tanzhou and Chenghui Prefecture in the south, of course, it is now called Xiangzhou.

Such a team, even if other aspects are aside, at least the long-distance journey is absolutely good at it.

At this moment, everyone is hurrying to rest, and after a long period of training, they have long been accustomed to hurrying and falling asleep at any time, but in a moment, it is already quiet, and there is only a slight snoring. As for that oversized snoring? I'm sorry, I wake up once I snore, and over time, I subconsciously form control. Can't control it? That's even more sorry, the cavalry is not suitable for you, otherwise you will snore, I will snore, the snoring is like thunder, and what kind of fast attack is played, I can't say that I will be detected by other spies from afar halfway.

Qin Liangyu has been in the army for a long time, and he has long been accustomed to such a scene. Dismounted and leaned against a large tree, he couldn't help but turn his head to look north.

Qin Liangyu was very interested in commanding the troops to fight, and she didn't have any opinion on being put here by Zhou Shaoyu Huofeng, and even this was a manifestation of her attention. But sometimes, it's inevitable to feel lonely.

At the beginning, he didn't have to lead the army alone, and he has been learning from Li Xiuning's side, how to say it, although Li Xiuning is always expressionless and has few words, but in fact, he is a very cute guy. And the sisters all have their own characteristics and advantages, and they are all good people. Speaking of this, everyone admires Li Qingzhao, after all, the current atmosphere between sisters is taken care of by Li Qingzhao, and once a habit is formed, it will be difficult to have a bad relationship.

And Bian Yujing, who was placed in the north by Li Qingzhao to take care of the relationship between sisters, has always been conscientious, and his elegant and proud temperament has also become a good confidant big sister, which is convincing.

But speaking of which, after so long, I haven't seen any excessive intimacy between her and Zhou Shaoyu, and I don't know what my plans are for the future.

Thinking of this, Qin Liangyu couldn't laugh or cry, she is a righteous brother, everything is good, she has the ability, and her temperament is also good, maybe this kind of temperament is not suitable as a high-ranking person, but it makes people feel more humane. If it is really like Cao Cao, it will make people unable to get close. It's just that there are too many wives and concubines.

If it's her......

Okay, Qin Liangyu felt that he couldn't handle it, Li Qingzhao was good, but which of the other sisters was bad, this choice was not easy to make.

That's it, anyway, it's not her turn to worry about this matter.

Looking at the mechanical watch on his wrist, I have to say that this thing is really easy to use, and seeing that the time is about the same, he began to call out, it was time to hurry.

Successfully passing through the mountains, the road ahead was flat, except for the grass and there was not too much shelter, Qin Liangyu did not doubt him, and directly led the cavalry to pass by. However, it was at this time that accidents happened.

"Ah......h

"Kill!" In the next moment, a large number of foot soldiers slaughtered from the improvised camouflaged pit, forming an encirclement almost instantly.

At the same time, countless torches lit up the night sky, especially the golden dragon flag with a large beam in the distance, and the big flag with the word 'high' on the side, which still indicated the identity of the person leading the troops at this moment.

"Gao Yuyao!" Qin Liangyu was suddenly shocked, he never thought that as the Empress Dowager of Daliang, she would actually come here in person.

If it was just an ordinary general, even if it was a mid-ambush, Qin Liangyu would still have the confidence to kill or even fight back. But the person who came was Gao Yuyao! This is such confidence, if there is no complete certainty, how can Gao Yuyao personally suppress the formation.

Almost instantly, Qin Liangyu figured out the whole cause and effect, in the end, the actual combat experience was still too lacking, and he actually figured it out at this time, but it was already too late. What can be done now is to reduce the losses as much as possible.

"Quick, give the order quickly, the rear army will be in front, retreat! The personal guards and the first five cavalry teams will kill the enemy together with the general! This is Qin Liangyu's final decision, there must be someone behind the palace, and the other party must not be allowed to form a circle.

The number of the guards plus the five cavalry is still more than two thousand, and they may not be able to make too many waves in the dense ambush of the other side, but at least they can block for a while, but if they want to contain more time, it is absolutely not enough to block alone.

Because of the long-term training, and the experienced veterans are middle-level generals, even if they are suddenly in a little panic now, but after the order is issued, they will obey the order as quickly as possible. In a short time, the cavalry army in the rear had already made a gap before the other party was completely closed, and Qin Liangyu's side also gathered two thousand.

"Target, Empress Dowager Gao Yuyao of the Great Liang, cavalry charge!" With Qin Liangyu's loud shout, the two thousand cavalry troops rushed towards the golden dragon banner that was unfurled without hesitation.

However, no matter how fast the assembly speed was, the distance available for them to charge was already very short, and before the horse speed could be fully raised, it had already collided with the opponent's foot soldiers. After only a few tens of meters, the speed of the whole team slowed down completely.

"Don't care about the sides, keep moving forward, kill!" Qin Liangyu stabbed over an ordinary general who was close to Daliang with a shot, pointed at his spear, clamped his leg between the horse's belly, and took the lead in killing forward.

Qin Liangyu's purpose couldn't be more obvious, and the soldiers who followed Qin Liangyu were almost determined to die, accompanied by a roar, and they killed a bloody path like this. And in this short period of time, more than half of the 2,000 men and horses were still dead and wounded, lying on the grass forever.

"Protect the Queen Mother!" As this group of men and horses got closer and closer, the soldiers and horses on the side of Daliang also began to panic. If something happens to Gao Yuyao, what if she wins this battle? Ten lives are not enough for them to die.

Not to mention that the main force of the ambush at this time was the reinforcements brought by Gao Yuyao from the Beijing Division, and the soldiers and horses of the Beijing Division had already been completely loyal to Gao Yuyao, and if the latter died, the consequences would not be thought of at all.

"It's a great general." Gao Yuyao, who is not far away, is not flustered, as the supreme ruler, even if he is really panicked, he has to show calmness, not to mention that people are really not panicking. After all, there are still a lot of guards around her, and when the other party kills in front of her, there won't be many people left.

With Gao Yuyao's wisdom, he couldn't see the other party's plan.

Qin Liangyu is the supreme general of the cavalry, the most powerful, and the greatest military merits, which is the most attractive, and then personally attacked Gao Yuyao's location as a bait and made some progress, which naturally attracted the attention of all the soldiers, so it naturally gave the remaining cavalry a chance to leave the battlefield. This is simply to exchange one's own body for the safety of most of the cavalry.

"Pass the order, don't kill this general, mourning the family wants to live." Gao Yuyao was very interested.

The reason is not only because of Qin Liangyu's actions, but also because of curiosity. In her intelligence, this general is named Yingyou, the origin is unknown, and it can even be said that suddenly, once it appeared, it was entrusted by Huofeng to be reused, and even specially cleaned many of the original generals in the army for this purpose.

Gao Yuyao began to doubt the relationship between Huofeng and Zhou Shaoyu, so did this high-ranking general who suddenly appeared have anything to do with it? At the very least, I can force some questions to be asked. After all, the existence of this person can be said to be above 10,000 people on the Fire Phoenix side.

What if this man can be captured, even if most of the cavalry is spared? In her Gao Yuyao's opinion, the value of this general is much greater.

The issuance of this order had a great impact, making the soldiers close to Qin Liangyu quite constrained, and the generals who originally planned to release cold arrows also gave up cold shooting with bows and arrows. In such a situation, it was so bad that Qin Liangyu could kill all sides for a while, and no one could stop it!

There are many similar times, the most famous is Zhao Zilong in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the battle of Changbanpo, seven in and seven out, almost invincible! And many people's analysis is that although Zhao Yun's force value is extremely high, it is mainly because Cao Cao wants to catch it alive, so that the soldiers can't let go of their hands and feet, which creates favorable conditions for Zhao Yun, so that he can achieve such an amazing record.

If it's just a romance, it doesn't matter, there are similar times in history.

That is Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, who once gave a killing order to Zhou Shaoyu because of Xu Miaojin!

I have to say that Zhu Di finally attacked the capital and ascended the throne as the emperor with an absolute disadvantage, and in the process of his attack, it was like the god of war in the world, and the killing was terrifying.

Why? Zhu Yunwen said that although Zhu Di is ruthless, his nephew can't ignore family affection, so he can't hurt and kill Zhu Di.

Yes, this sentence has undoubtedly become half of Zhu Di's talisman, Zhu Di personally rushed into battle, who would dare to stop it!? Do you try to block one? The thing bumped into it, even if Zhu Di didn't compare it here, believe it or not, as soon as he turned around, Zhu Yunwen would trouble you. Who told this guy to pretend to be the king of benevolence and righteousness. It's also stupid, a good hand of cards is played poorly.

The current Qin Liangyu is very interesting, a general slashed out, and then suddenly shocked, no, if this knife is hit, he will be seriously injured if he does not die, and hurriedly retracts his strength to change the direction, but it is such a change, it's over! Changing hands was Qin Liangyu's stabbing with a shot, so he was killed.

After killing dozens of people, Qin Liangyu was already out of breath and almost exhausted, but on Daliang's side, no soldiers dared to approach and die. First, it's really tied, and second, it's dozens of people, it's gone, and everyone is afraid of killing to this point, and the prestige has already been killed. As a result, every time Qin Liangyu took a step, he took a step back from the encirclement around him.

The war horse under her had already died, and Qin Liangyu, who didn't have much strength left, also discarded the spear in her hand, and she was no longer suitable for using this kind of light and flexible weapon, but pulled out the long sword at her waist and moved forward firmly step by step.

And behind her, the last hundred soldiers followed closely.

The sound of fighting behind him was no longer there, and the neighing of the war horses could not be heard, which meant that his cavalry had successfully detached. Their mission was successfully completed, but unfortunately, it was difficult for them to rush out again.

Even if the Great Liang soldiers didn't dare to do anything to Qin Liangyu, Qin Liangyu also didn't have the strength to kill again.

Just when Qin Liangyu was about to take up the righteousness bravely, the Liang soldiers in front of him suddenly dispersed, and with a light armor, Gao Yuyao beat his horse and approached, and the guards around him all looked like they were facing a great enemy.

"It turns out that it's a woman?" Gao Yuyao, who was sitting on top of the war horse, chuckled. What are you talking about, let's just say that there is definitely a problem between Huofeng and Zhou Shaoyu, evidence? Does this need proof? Huofeng is a woman, and now even the first general under Huofeng is also a woman, that's enough!
