The Yancheng Breakout Battle was undoubtedly tragic. Even with Zhou Shaoyu's best efforts to contain and respond, Gao Yuyao's department still suffered heavy losses.

Nearly 50,000 were directly killed and wounded, nearly 100,000 were scattered and fled, Gao Yuyao only had more than 20,000 remnants left, and it was barely possible to escape.

It is worth mentioning that because of the leakage in timing control, Zhou Shaoyu also led his subordinates to be trapped in Zhuocheng. The two add up to nearly 50,000 soldiers, and there is also a 100,000 Turkic army outside the city.

This result is not good or bad, since Zhou Shaoyu has been stationed in Zhuocheng for so long, he must have a certain amount of grain and grass reserves, don't worry about eating, if it is really Gao Yuyao's more than 100,000 troops are all here, then it is still a little annoying, but who let Gao Yuyao only have such a few people left.

Moreover, there will be no changes in the state side, and it will never be said that Zhou Shaoyu will be abandoned directly.

If you get together, you can still come up with 100,000 troops alone, and as long as you respond in time, rescue should not be a problem.

However, Zhuocheng is not as big as Yancheng. Under the disrepair, many gaps are only barely repaired, and once they fall into an offensive and defensive war, they will inevitably spend a greater cost to defend.

At this kind of moment, it depends on whether Ashina Huqin is willing to continue to fight for people's lives, which is also rare good news, and there are not many young Turkic populations.

Ashina Huqin was obviously also hesitating on this issue, which led to the next three days, besieging but not attacking, and it was difficult to decide.

On the one hand, the Turks were increasingly unable to withstand the casualties, otherwise Ashina Huqin would not have been forced to go to the northeast to recruit Yi people. On the other hand, it was easy to besiege the Empress Dowager of Great Liang and the emperor, which made the Turks extremely excited.

Maybe you won't get any benefits in a short time, but everyone knows that once you take it, it will be as simple as taking the girder into the bag. Are you afraid that there will be no harvest at that time? Population, wealth, you name it!

Therefore, the Turkic tribes loyal to Ashina Huqin have a high fighting spirit, even if some Turkic warriors are killed or wounded, it is not unacceptable.

Inside Zhuocheng.

"You shouldn't have come." Gao Yuyao said with a complicated heart.

It stands to reason that this is a good time to brush up on good feelings, even if Gao Yuyao is still very sensible, but who is not willing to listen to some good words?

But Zhou Shaoyu was indeed a little depressed, and he was careless, and actually put himself in. rolled his eyes and said, "Come less, fake or not, come here, what's the use of talking about these things?" ”

Gao Yuyao is so annoyed, it's rare for people to have true feelings, so you can't cooperate? But when I think of the current situation, I really can't come out.

Biting his lip, he said, "It's a big deal, I'll accompany you against the outlaw mandarin duck." ”

"Then I'm at a loss! Give up a large forest for a small tree! Zhou Shaoyu rolled his eyes again and said, "Besides, mandarin ducks are not a good thing, they seem to come in pairs, but they are actually extremely flowery......"

Gao Yuyao decisively interrupted: "Are you talking about yourself?" ”

！！！

Gotcha, I accidentally dug a hole for myself.

At the same time, the royal city of Silla.

"Withdrawn! The enemy has retreated! With a shout from the top of the city, the city gradually boiled. After a month of hard work, he was attacked three times, and the royal city was almost destroyed. In the fierce battle for more than a month, more than 200,000 Silla soldiers and even the lives of ordinary people were lost.

It can be said that Silla has done its best, and now it is finally bitter.

It can't really be said how low their combat power is, but a real disadvantage.

The people of Silla are not only strong and strong, but also flexible, but what about the people of Silla? According to the unit of meters, a height of more than 1.65 meters is considered tall, and it is generally not even 1.6 meters. is just such a head, no matter how strong and strong can it be? And the long-term lack of training will naturally not improve the combat strength.

To be honest, if it was not the Yi people who led the siege but the relatively talkative Turks, the king of Silla might have decided to raise the white flag and surrender, even if it was an unequal treaty. But it is the Yiren who attack the city, these unruly and unreasonable guys, once they enter the city, it will definitely be a scene of hell on earth.

Although he suddenly retreated at this point for some reason, the king of Silla finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time made up his mind that he must train a strong army, and he could not forget the crisis because he had been in peace for too long.

"Be prepared for danger in times of peace, and the culture of Daliang is really broad and profound." The king of Silla was deeply touched.

The withdrawal of the Yi army is naturally Ashina Huqin's instructions, although the Silla Kingdom is one of the territories expected by Ashina Huqin, but it is far less important than the big beam, in the final analysis, the big beam is the real center, in order to avoid Gao Yuyao and the little emperor escaping again, Ashina Huqin must ensure that nothing goes wrong, and everything else must make way for it.

It's just that people's minds change, even if they are unruly Yiren, they will grow up after experiencing it, and Ashina Huqin doesn't know what he will attract.

On the Silla border, all the Yi troops officially withdrew from the territory of Silla. In this regard, almost all Yi people expressed dissatisfaction.

Without him, after a strong attack on the moon, don't see that the Silla Royal City is still barely supporting, but fools know that it will definitely not last long. What does it mean once the city is broken? It means silver and women with white flowers, it means silk and satin, and it means a large amount of wealth.

The result is good, why are you so obedient!

During the rest of the month of attacking the Silla royal city, many people died in battle, but some people rose! For example, the leader of the Black Tribe, the Black Boar......

Well, the name is a bit weird, 罴, bear also. Obviously, this tribe uses bears as their signboard to show the ferocity of their tribe. But the partial leader is called the black boar!

Of course, don't underestimate the wild boar. There is a saying in the Northeast in later generations, one pig, two bears and three tigers, which is to make a combat power ranking for these three animals. Regardless of the outcome of the fight between the three, but for the hunter, the last thing he wants to see is that this thing has a straight temper and will fight with you to the end at every turn, unlike the tiger brown bear, the former bluffs and scares and scares, maybe it will run away. And the latter, as long as you don't scream and don't mess around, the aggression of the bear is not too high, and there is a chance to get away if you leave slowly with the wind.

If you look at it from this point of view, the black boar should also be a straightforward and arrogant person. It's a pity that it's not explained like this, it's called this name, just because it's more difficult than a wild boar, once you get involved, don't want to get out, the bright and dark will kill you sooner or later.

Because of this, the black wild boar successfully led the Hei Zheng tribe to gradually become stronger, and its strength in the northeast is also numerous.

If it was said that the thinking was limited to the environment before, then now, the ambition of the black wild boar, which has broadened its horizons, has developed vigorously.

It turns out that the Silla kingdom that used to seem powerful is nothing more than that? It turned out that the legendary strongest dynasty Liang was also beaten by the Turks, and even the Empress Dowager and Emperor were besieged?

Don't look at them being shocked and conquered by the Turks, this is just because they are not united, and they are simply being broken one by one. Otherwise, what if the Turks were all cavalry? Do you have the ability to continue riding in the mountains?

In the past, there was constant friction between the tribes and their own affairs, but now because of the intervention of the Turks, there is an opportunity for the tribes to come together.

And now, the black boar performed extremely well in the Silla Raiders, not only won the trust of Ashina Khuqin, but also appointed the only deputy commander under the Turkic commander. It is even more convincing to the people. Everyone knows that following the black wild boar, not only can you win a big victory, but you can also share a lot of loot, and this list is very fair.

Originally, the black boar was still waiting for the right time to make plans, but now, the time has come!

The sudden order to withdraw the army caused strong dissatisfaction among the Yi army, as long as it was used well, the black wild boar could officially control this Yi army. And then, huh...... The black boar couldn't help but let out a sneer. Bow to others? This was by no means his ambition.

On the same day, the Turkic spies reported that they noticed a change in the Qingzhou garrison. Ashina was in a hurry, and issued seven khan orders in a row, urging the Yi army to speed up. In addition, the attack on Zhuocheng has already begun, and as the vanguard of the attack, it is naturally the 20,000 Yi troops that accompany the army.

The difficulty of defense is far greater than Zhou Shaoyu imagined, the total number of troops in the city seems to be 50,000, but less than 30,000 can actually be put into defense!

The army under Gao Yuyao's command experienced a breakthrough battle, although it escaped, it could be described as a fiasco, and at this moment it was surrounded again, and the morale was simply not too low.

However, at such a moment, it is impossible to be lazy even if you don't go to the city walls.

Don't count on the people in Zhuocheng, aside from the old and young, women and children, there are only thousands of young and strong, and although Zhou Shaoyu has been stationed here before, he is not developing here, it is because the people are not attached, don't expect them to do more at all. It was a voluntary offer to help, and only because the city was not good for them.

However, it is true that there is no population in Zhuocheng now, but there are too many abandoned houses.

Isn't it true that the army under Gao Yuyao can't go to the front line, so let's do coolies and demolish houses, how to defend if there are no heavy objects to smash down? And what to use to plug the gap?

For seven consecutive days, this should be the largest casualty that Zhou Shaoyu has experienced so far, nearly 10,000 people died directly, and more than 3,000 were injured and disabled. It was only at this time that Zhou Shaoyu had a deeper understanding of what it means to be in charge of the army!

No one blames Zhou Shaoyu, but Zhou Shaoyu is tormented in his heart. But so what? Should I fight or fight, surrender? That will only die faster.

"It seems that I am still too tender after all." Zhou Shaoyu looked at Li Xiuning and Yang Miaozhen, who were as usual, and couldn't help but sigh.

Zhou Shaoyu's troops suffered heavy casualties, and as the besieging party, the Turks were naturally no better. The 20,000 Yi troops who were cannon fodder vanguards had less than 5,000 left, and even the Turks themselves had more than 10,000 casualties.

The only thing that made Ashina Huqin happy was that fortunately, under the strong urging, the Yi army and the 10,000 Turkic prison troops who had originally attacked Silla had nearly 40,000 left. However, there is also bad news, that is, the Qingzhou army of Daliang has set up camp hundreds of miles away.

It's not a big problem, the first to arrive is Qingzhou's vanguard, the full fight is not more than 20,000, and it doesn't pose any threat, just a few days to order the Yi army to launch a fierce attack and take Zhuocheng, everything will not be a problem.

However, the problem lies with the Yi army.

Let's first talk about the 20,000 Yi army that originally followed Ashina Huqin, this Yi army later defected to the Turks, and the purpose was naturally to seek benefits, and follow the war to get some worth of spoils.

It turned out to be good, now there is nothing left, and there are only 3,000 dead left. The Yiren tribe is no better than others, but also pay attention to the proportion of male in the tribe, once they have a war, that is, all the young and strong are all dispatched to keep people? Only the old and the young, the women, and the disabled are left behind.

Seventeen thousand people died, which meant that some tribes faced the fate of being annexed. It means that the old father and mother will be killed, it means that the wife and daughter will be occupied, and it means that the wealth accumulated by hard work will be robbed.

Not to mention that there is still a war going on, even if the remaining 3,000 people go back intact? I can't stop it.

Therefore, there is no greater resentment than their resentment.

If it's just that these 3,000 people have grievances, then it's nothing, no matter how much trouble they make, it's just like that, the number of people is here. But what about the nearly 40,000 Yi troops who came from Silla?

In order to urge them to hurry up, but those who resist, kill! Hesitate, kill! Troublemaker, kill! Can't run and fall behind? Or kill!

To put it bluntly, even the Turks didn't really regard them as human beings, they were nothing more than cannon fodder that could be used, and a little suppression and interests could buy their hearts.

In this regard, the black wild boar was silent from the beginning, and then secretly united, and when he arrived outside the city of Zhuocheng, the leaders of the Yi people respected him as the lord, and he had successfully and secretly completely controlled this Yi army. and not the title of deputy marshal who was nominally rewarded by Ashina Huqin.

"We've been on the road for too long, and we need enough rest and food to take the city." The Great Tent of the Turkic Khan, the Black Boar has a tough attitude.

"Food can be given to you, but there is no time for you to rest, at most tonight, tomorrow morning, the city will be attacked immediately!" Ashina Huqin will not compromise on time.

Things have developed to this point, Ashina Huqin is already in a hurry, once the Qingzhou army arrives, and the merger state army will definitely make a move, if it drags on, won't he Ashina Huqin gain nothing?

What a rare opportunity! Soldiers surrounded the Empress Dowager and the emperor, how can you let go of such a feat! It must not be delayed any longer!

"No, at least three days of cultivation, otherwise we will wait for the siege of the city, which is no different from sending us to death!" The black boar still insisted.

Is he really arguing over cultivation? No! It's a show! Do it for the Yi people!

In order to let them know that following Ashina Huqin will only cost his life in vain, and he is the one who really thinks about everyone.

In the end, the black boar ate a military stick, and 'had no choice' to compromise, ordered people to pull away the grain and grass, and promised to attack the next day. This made everyone see his 'sacrifice'.

And then it was the next morning......

The camp of the Yi army did not move at all, and showed with a more resolute attitude that it was okay to attack Zhuocheng, first, to have enough time to rest. Second, enough benefit fee!
