Gao Yuyao was so generous, using more than 10,000 soldiers and people's husbands and not a small amount of grain and grass as bait, but the purpose was just to delay the cavalry led by Qin Liangyu! If Qin Liangyu hadn't noticed the abnormality, one could imagine what the final result would have been for these people.

And in the same way, the purpose of procrastination will be successful, not to mention more, at least one more night. And that's enough time to do a lot of things.

However, this is not all of Gao Yuyao's plans.

When the confrontation was still in the past, the soldiers and horses of Daliang continued to move steadily, narrowing the distance between them and Licheng little by little. Although at that time, it was not impossible for the cavalry to directly press the frontal attack, after all, the soldiers and horses of the Great Liang were not gathered together and scattered, and each army and horse was only about 20,000. But the problem is that people are cautious and cautious, and they attach great importance to defense work, and if they really attack, even if they win, they will pay a lot of price.

And once the cavalry has some casualties and the number of people is reduced, then the effect of containment and deterrence will inevitably be reduced.

But with the passage of time, under the continuous mobilization of the soldiers and horses of the Great Liang, it is like an arc surrounding Licheng, and if it goes on like this, the command of Licheng becomes more and more passive. It was also at this time that I found out the so-called reliable news and learned where the grain route of the girder was.

If it succeeds, this is definitely the best way to change the situation of the battle, Huofeng and Qin Liangyu discussed it several times, and finally decided that the cavalry would be dispatched to cut off the grain route.

That day, when it was dark, Qin Liangyu led the cavalry to set off on a detour, maybe people can hold on, but the war horse needs to rest, and excessive consumption of horsepower will only make the combat effectiveness plummet. In order to ensure combat effectiveness, it was naturally necessary to stop and go along the way, and it was not until the morning of the second day that he rushed to the predetermined place to rest quickly. If you don't want to wait for this, it's a day that is about to pass.

In other words, even if Qin Liangyu rushed back immediately, he would still need to return tomorrow tomorrow under the condition of ensuring his combat strength. As for the reckless sacrifice of horsepower and crazy rush? No matter how urgent it is, there is no need for this, what is the use of the war horse if it loses its combat power.

Just as Qin Liangyu guessed, the Liang soldiers and horses really swept away a camp outside Licheng and surrounded Licheng on the night she secretly left.

In contrast, Xiao Jiwen has never attacked the city, and Xiao Jiwen, who has a limited force, cannot withstand the casualties caused by the siege. In fact, Xiao Jiwen's strength is not too small, but the problem is that there are too many soldiers and horses in Daliang, if every soldier on Xiao Ji's side dies in battle, it means that the strength comparison will be weakened by one point, so Xiao Jiwen never attacked.

In addition, Zhou Shaoyu and they basically will not choose to attack, it's not that they can't afford it, but it's not necessary, cold weapons combat, the casualties of the besieging side have always been several times that of the defending side. Unless the former is elite and the latter is never trained, there are very few exceptions when it comes to strong attacks.

Originally, Huofeng didn't care about the strong attack, don't forget that this is a sect starter, and he is playing to coerce the people, at the beginning, almost everyone can be a soldier, that is, the combat power is low. And the advantage is that the number of troops is scary enough, and it is enough to swarm them.

But not now, firstly, it is under the influence of Zhou Shaoyu's side, and secondly, Huofeng has already carried out disarmament operations, and most of them have been unloaded and returned to the field, anyway, the combat power is just like that, leaving only the best among them for further training. So if it wasn't necessary now, the fire phoenix wouldn't attack it.

Only Gao Yuyao doesn't care the most, in terms of the degree of elite, the Liang soldiers may not be excellent, but where is the biggest advantage? Lots of people!

More than 300,000 have been invested in the Qingzhou battlefield now, and this does not include the previous casualties in Qingzhou itself, otherwise it would have exceeded 400,000. In addition, the previous Jingzhou battlefield also directly exceeded 200,000 troops. It's already more than 500,000 here. In addition to these, Jinling, as a Beijing division, must be heavily guarded, no matter how much it is deployed, the minimum number of soldiers and horses must be maintained at more than 100,000. Coupled with the garrisons everywhere, the number is simply terrifying.

If it weren't for that, how could they force Xiao Jiao and Zhou Shaoyu to secretly form an alliance, or even give up the original principle and turn a blind eye to the existence of the fire phoenix. Isn't it because of the existence of the fire phoenix that it can contain the consumption beam?

In addition to the cavalry army taken by Qin Liangyu, Huofeng who stayed behind to guard the town still had 100,000 soldiers and horses, but the 100,000 people were not gathered in the city, but scattered everywhere. For example, a force of 20,000 soldiers and horses was stationed at a key road in the rear, just to ensure that the rear road was not lost, and if there was a change, it could be evacuated smoothly. In addition, there are several important places where people are stationed.

For example, the camp that has just been uprooted by the Great Liang, the number of people is 8,000, originally it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is also convenient to mobilize and achieve a certain containment effect by leaving a group of people here, and it is also a small barrier, which is the vanguard of the Great Liang. It's a pity that it was the main army that came, so it was wiped out overnight, and in the face of a night attack of 100,000 people, there was not even a single wave.

Before waiting for more reactions, Licheng was already surrounded, and there was no delay for half a minute, as soon as the morning dawned, the strong attack mode was immediately opened, and the 150,000 troops continued to rotate and attack without stopping, and the fire phoenix with less than 50,000 soldiers and horses in the city was naturally under great pressure.

It seems that the girder will only attack one side of the east wall, but who can guarantee that another force will suddenly appear to attack other walls? Although forced by the pressure of the city's defense, men and horses had to be drawn from other city walls to defend against the enemy, but a minimum base still needed to be retained.

Therefore, more than 30,000 troops to defend the east city wall is the limit, and if you want to do ** for rest, it is impossible for flesh and blood to have unlimited energy. Then the problem arises. If it is divided into three teams to rotate like the besieging side of the city, it is equivalent to 50,000 of the beams attacking, but there are only more than 10,000 on the head of the city. This is definitely not a safe number.

At this time, Huofeng would rather Licheng be a small city, and the walls of the small city may be much shorter, but at least the contact surface is low, even if there is a large amount of troops at one time, it will only need to face part of it. This is somewhat similar to the principle of a single man.

However, Licheng is a big city, and it would be easy to do if there were not so many troops on the other side, but the problem is, is there a shortage of soldiers and horses in Daliang?

This is only 150,000 troops invested, and Daliang's soldiers and horses in Qingzhou are more than 300,000, even if some unusable garrisons are excluded, Gao Yuyao still has at least 100,000 troops and horses that can be mobilized.

The latter is not mentioned for the time being, even if it is not transferred, it is still a question of how long Licheng can hold on. By now, even if Huo Feng was slow to react, he had already guessed that when the cavalry army left, the soldiers and horses of the Great Liang would come, and they would attack in a hurry, isn't this already obvious?

Turn the tiger away from the mountain!

Without the cavalry, the soldiers and horses can completely let go of their hands and feet.

"Not good! Qin Liangyu is in danger! "Huofeng suddenly woke up, where is this just to plot Licheng, but to kill two birds with one stone!

Outside the city of Licheng, the Liang military camp.

Gao Yuyao boarded a temporary lookout to watch the siege battle ahead, expressionless, and didn't know whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied, so that people couldn't guess their thoughts, the more so, the more the generals who followed next to him felt the pressure.

Especially the generals of Qingzhou, who were originally uneasy. Qingzhou, which was obviously heavily guarded, was forced to be stabbed into a sieve, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were killed and wounded, so that it alarmed Gao Yuyao's personal expedition. Maybe there is no sense of accountability at the moment, but what about the future? Therefore, now is the last chance to make meritorious contributions, and if we fail to grasp it, the consequences are really hard to say.

Looking at the sky, it was almost night, Gao Yuyao raised her hand slightly, and without making a sound, the palace maid serving next to her immediately understood, poured a cup of warm wine in her arms and handed it over.

"I don't know, the cavalry has taken the bait at this moment." Gao Yuyao's red lips opened lightly and opened lightly.

"The Queen Mother's wisdom is unparalleled, how can a mere thief army see through ......" A Qingzhou general immediately flattered, but he didn't dare to say anything under Gao Yuyao's sharp gaze.

"What a thief army." Gao Yuyao sneered, frightening the Qingzhou generals in a cold sweat.

'A mere army of thieves'? What is the Qingzhou Army that was teased and beaten into a dog? What are these Qingzhou generals? Obviously, this fart was slapped on the leg.

"Forget it, most of you are hand-picked by the mourning family, and you are considered a cronie of the mourning family, since you are a cronie, you should give more opportunities, and you will have more brains in the future, don't let the mourning family worry about it again and again. The mourning family is old, but they can't stand the toss. ”

Okay, what do you mean by being old? I'm only in my twenties. But there is a warning.

In fact, Gao Yuyao was also very annoyed, even if Huizhou was over, the defense force was relatively weak, but Qingzhou could be chaotic like this with such a heavy army, and even affected the Penglai Navy Division for a time, which was a bit unacceptable.

But it is true that as she herself said, most of the current generals in the army are promoted by Gao Yuyao, and there is a precedent for cleaning the family.

The incompetence of his subordinates, on the other hand, doesn't it mean that Gao Yuyao is ignorant of people? So the opportunity must still be given. Otherwise, it will slap yourself in the face, and it will also make some careful people find a reason to make trouble and take the opportunity to compete for the position. is in a high position, even if the power is as monopolistic as her Gao Yuyao, it is not really possible to do whatever she wants.

But what made Gao Yuyao even more unhappy was because of something else, for example, until now, none of the generals under his command had seen his true intentions. This made Gao Yuyao a little complacent, which shows her ability. But at the same time, it's very unpleasant, mediocre! It's all mediocrity!

Whether Qin Liangyu took the bait to rob the grain or not, this is not the point at all, from the moment the cavalry set off, no matter how he chooses in the end, he has already entered the trap. It is true that the grain transport team is an outcast, but the role is by no means as simple as delaying. Their existence only makes the drama more real.

Here in Huofeng, Qin Liangyu uses a fake name, and she is a woman dressed as a man. Because Xiao Jiwen has seen Qin Liangyu and knows her name, once it is rumored, the impact will definitely not be small. Therefore, the outside world only knew that there was an additional powerful general under Huofeng, so he didn't think of Zhou Shaoyu.

Gao Yuyao is the same, even if he has already determined that Huofeng and Zhou Shaoyu are involved, he doesn't think that such a powerful general will be Zhou Shaoyu's person. But this did not prevent Gao Yuyao from taking a high look.

Look at the people, from Jizhou to Qingzhou, how many soldiers and horses have been wiped out in Qingzhou? This already shows the ability of others, and he is definitely a general with brains.

Since there are brains, it is naturally difficult to resist ordinary schemes. But if so, what about unusual?

The news of the grain team, naturally, was deliberately ordered by Gao Yuyao to be released, and then he kept closely inquiring about the movements of the enemy's cavalry, and as expected, the cavalry not only set off, but its general was also the one expected.

And at this time, Gao Yuyao had already won. As long as the cavalry really set off, it will basically be stable.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't see through the illusion of the grain team at that time, it only means that the general is not so fearful, and at the same time it does delay time. But if you see through it and retreat in time, I'm sorry, it's still in the plan.

Even if you are still calm enough, you will not rush back blindly at the expense of horsepower, but keep the horsepower back with combat power. But so what? Because she 'saw through' the intention of the grain team, she must have thought that she Gao Yuyao was trying to storm Licheng in order to adjust the time difference between the tiger and the mountain, and on the surface, she Gao Yuyao did so.

I think that if I see through the plan, no matter how calm I am, my heart will be anxious, and once there is a flaw in my mind, it will be difficult to think and consider it completely, and there will inevitably be loopholes. In this way, it naturally gave the girder a chance to ambush halfway!

Therefore, that grain team is dealing with this kind of smart people who can 'see through'. Specifically designed to guide ideas.

As long as the city is recaptured, the fire phoenix will suffer a large loss of troops, or even be directly captured or killed, so how big a wave can a cavalry army outside set off, and it is not so large that it is difficult to match.

Such an idea can cause a subconscious blind spot, thinking that there will be no soldiers and horses to ambush themselves, after all, the beams are all foot soldiers, and ambushing the cavalry is not an easy job. And even if you can't beat it, you can easily run.

With such an idea, even if you still send people to explore the way on the way back, the degree of care is definitely not as good as usual.

"The whole army stopped marching and rested on the spot. The scout quickly probed the valley ahead and made sure it was safe before heading out. "Qin Liangyu's order is very decisive, compared to the beginning, it is still much more mature, but in general, the actual combat experience is still very little.

"Report, after careful investigation, there is no ambush in the valley ahead." After a while, the scout team returned.

This is not the first time, there is no shortage of plains in Qingzhou, but there are also mountains, there are always some suitable places for ambushes along the way, every time, even if the scouts who have explored the way have checked before, but in order to be safe, they will still let people explore again.

With the increase in the number of times, Qin Liangyu also became more certain that Da Liang was definitely attacking Licheng with all his might at this moment.

If she had led the cavalry to loot food, attack and rest and hurry slowly, she would not have been able to return until the evening of tomorrow. In other words, until tomorrow evening, the offensive against Licheng will definitely be the most violent, and it is not necessary to break the city if it is not serious.

But fortunately, according to the current itinerary, under the condition of maintaining a certain combat strength, it can arrive smoothly in the early morning.

"Get on your horse and keep moving." A quarter of an hour later, Qin Liangyu turned over and got on his horse, and the cavalry moved again.
