Chapter 1064: The War Begins
A month has passed, and even the most stupid person knows that Gao Yuyao, who is tied up in Yancheng, can't hold out for long.
It's not just a matter of food, it's a question of morale.
When Zhou Shaoyu did not cross the time, he had a friend who was in a long-distance relationship, the man was in the capital, and the woman was in Shudi. coincided with the earthquake that year, and it was also the reason for the breakup of this long-distance relationship.
"You are in the capital, you will never know how frightened I was at that time, you don't know when the next earthquake will come back, and you are not even sure how long you can live, some people die directly, some people die wailing, I am afraid, really afraid, I miss you a lot, but it is impossible after all, so, I'm sorry......"
This is the girl's original words, in that kind of environment, anyone needs comfort and support, but the problem is that Zhou Shaoyu's friend was in charge of an extremely important list at that time, once the negotiation is completed, it means a promotion and a salary increase, which means that there is a possibility of staying in the capital and taking root.
In this case, he has been relatively ignorant of his girlfriend, and he has no intuitive understanding of the earthquake, and the girl was not in the serious zone reported in the news at that time. Not only that, but he didn't hear more anything unusual on the phone, so he ignored it relatively.
During this time, the girl met another man and gave her constant encouragement and comfort......
Why do you say you're sorry? It's nothing more than because of empathy.
It's just, can this really be all to blame on that girl?
Everyone is wrong, and it can be said that everyone is wrong. It is only because of a combination of factors that this result is caused. As for saying that there is no relationship between them, from the freshman year to the three years after graduating from college, a total of seven years of long-distance relationships have not been able to separate them, how can there be no feelings.
This is not about feelings, but about the emotions of being in despair and the impact on people.
Yancheng is a lonely city, and the current Youzhou is not a big beam at all. There was little food inside the city, and the army outside the city besieged the city. Whether it is soldiers or ordinary people, they need to cut back on food and clothing to barely survive, hunger and war, no matter which makes people suffer in their hearts and further amplifies negative emotions.
More importantly, in addition to the Turkic captives, the people in the city were mainly the people of the former Great Liang who had been oppressed for a long time. People are always strange, in the face of the Turks, they dare not speak, but now that the Great Liang army is coming, they have the courage to complain.
If there is a small fight, Gao Yuyao can still endure it and pass, but as the situation goes too far, he must not hesitate to order to kill a hundred people. However, after this move, the honesty is all honest, but the suppressed emotions are even worse.
is lifeless, and it is appropriate to use this sentence to describe Yancheng, which still has more than 300,000 people.
If at the beginning it was possible to motivate by waiting for reinforcements, now it is basically hopeless.
In a month, reinforcements could be sent, but the problem was that the Turkic army outside the city had not moved at all.
Gao Yuyao was faced with a choice.
Break out, or wait?
The former is dead and alive, and no one can guarantee the outcome. And the latter, if there are really reinforcements, it's okay to say, otherwise, it's a dead end, in the case of less food, the further back it is, I'm afraid that it won't even have the strength to break through.
At the same time, on the outskirts of Yancheng, in the mountains.
"Haven't you made a decision yet?" Li Xiuning's expression was faint, and he said very calmly.
Zhou Shaoyu's eyes flickered, and he gave an explanation: "I want to see again, isn't she Gao Yuyao lucky, so can she turn evil into good fortune." ”
"Turning evil into good fortune? Judging from the current situation, Gao Yuyao has no other way but to break through, so the so-called turning evil into good fortune can at most escape back to the territory of Daliang. However, the association was defeated, and his father Gao gradually suppressed it, and it will take a lot of time to seek power. "Li Xiuning rarely 'generous' once, and said a long time." Unless, a meteorite fell from the sky? ”
Zhou Shaoyu's face is dark, is this a joke about Liu Xiu's experience?
However, with Li Xiuning's outstanding gaze, he can't see any possibility, I'm afraid that Gao Yuyao will really be more auspicious. Xiujin also said that it is impossible for meteorites to fall from the sky or anything, at most, it is to accelerate Gao Yuyao's growth, which does not mean that he is invincible.
However, even if Zhou Shaoyu wants to help, he can't help anything, to put it bluntly, he only has 30,000 troops outside, even if he chooses all the cavalry for mobility, he can't stand the fact that the Turks are all cavalry! As for the strategy to respond to Gao Yuyao's breakthrough, in the case of being completely unable to contact the city, this kind of strategy is basically equivalent to ineffectiveness.
What's more, Zhuocheng is not too far from Yancheng, and it is impossible for Ashina Huqin to be unprepared.
The folding fan in his hand was suddenly closed, clapped in the center of his palm, Zhou Shaoyu took a deep breath, and said, "Go, go back to Zhuocheng, send troops!" At the very least, you need to give an explanation to the people of the world."
This is not too false, no matter what the Great Liang is, after all, it is the current orthodox court, and Zhou Shaoyu is the nominal Great Liang courtier. Now the emperor and the queen mother are in trouble, if they don't do anything, it will inevitably be hindered.
The main thing is the comparison, even the Liang court has not made any moves, and Zhou Shaoyu, who is suspected of being a non-loyal minister, risked his life to send troops, which will undoubtedly reduce the prestige of the Liang court.
In addition, that is to give Gao Yuyao more hope. At least, she was not completely isolated, and she was more or less comforted.
And the deep-rooted reason is the big question of right and wrong.
Zhou Shaoyu is an outsider, and naturally has no sense of belonging to Daliang, but if you think about it carefully, Daliang is always orthodox in the Central Plains, while the Turks are 100% alien. Think about the alien invasions in the history of China, the shame again and again!
Even if Zhou Shaoyu doesn't care about leaving a big shame in the history of the Great Liang Emperor being captured, the world will care, if he is so close and doesn't do anything, what is the name of benevolence?
On that day, Zhuocheng 30,000 cavalry horses wrapped in horseshoe, traveling 100 miles at night, hiding in the mountains during the day to cultivate, traveling 100 miles at night, arriving near Yancheng to hide and rest.
On the third day, Gao Yuyao in Yancheng has already decided to break through, and as long as it is night, he will take action, as for the people in the city, he can only apologize. Not to mention the people in the city, even the soldiers under their command have to make trade-offs.
If you want to break out smoothly, you must have bait, send most of the troops and order people to disguise the guards to attract attention. And these people are almost dead and alive.
It was evening, and most of the evening was set. It was this last one, where the sunset was, the smoke and dust were raised, and a huge Suzaku flag fluttered out.
"Formation, defense!" Ashina Huqin reacted immediately, and did not attack rashly.
Zhou Shaoyu's location is where the sun is, even if it is a sunset, it is extremely dazzling and unreal. Without knowing the enemy's situation, it is really unwise to fight rashly. If you can't open your eyes, how can you fight well.
When he saw the banner clearly, Ashina was surprised and angry at the same time. There is no way, it is really that he has been defeated under this banner a little too many times, and it means more or less shame.
Ashina Huqin saw it clearly, and the Liang army at the head of Yancheng City naturally saw it clearly.
"Suzaku Banner? The Ministry of the King of Jin? "The general on duty couldn't believe it, he really didn't expect that the friendly army in front of them was actually Zhou Shaoyu's." Hurry, report to the Queen Mother quickly! Please make a decision. ”
At this time, Gao Yuyao was resting, recuperating and preparing for a breakthrough at night, but when she heard this, she could still sit still, and stood on the city wall without the slightest hesitation to watch. At this time, Zhou Shaoyu was already in the distance, and seemed to be ready to charge at any time.
On the other hand, on the Turkic side, the large army was very mobilized, and there was a great intention to assemble to defend against the enemy.
"Quick, drumming!" Gao Yuyao immediately ordered.
Ashina Huqin wanted to besiege the city, and the troops were naturally scattered, called more than 100,000, and there were only tens of thousands of scattered places, as far as the current West City Gate was concerned, there were a total of 50,000 troops including Ashina Huqin to guard.
Gao Yuyao knew how many troops Zhou Shaoyu currently had in his hands, 30,000 against 50,000, and the odds of winning were too low. She wanted to open the gates of the city to help, but she couldn't. To put it bluntly, almost all the soldiers under her command are foot soldiers, and under long-term dieting, they don't have much combat power. If you really rush out, not only will you not be able to form effective support, but it may be a drag. Even if he was directly attacked into the city, it was finally delayed until now, if he could directly enter the city, there was no need for Ashina Huqin to wait for Gao Yuyao to break through.
It was a gesture that could only beat drums and ordered more people to go up to the city wall to pose and look like they were ready to break through at any time, so as to contain the Turks' sight and attention. Of course, it may not work.
In fact, it is true, Ashina Huqin didn't take Yancheng's drums to heart at all, and he didn't dare to open the city gate at will with ten of them. What he was afraid of was the Vermilion Bird Banner and the female commander named Li Xiuning under the Vermilion Bird Banner. As for Zhou Shaoyu, admits that he is a masterpiece, but he will not be afraid yet.
What gave Zhou Shaoyu the courage to fight 50,000 with 30,000? Even if they were all cavalry, they could not be compared with the Turkic cavalry. Thinking that the other party arrived here unexpectedly, but did not choose a surprise attack, then it must have relied on, that is, could it be that the army was secretly transferred from Bingzhou again?
In order to be safe, Ashina Huqin, who believed that his own army's combat strength would surpass that of the other party, decisively left 20,000 to deal with the situation, and sent people to transfer troops from other directions. It was the Turkic army that confronted Zhou Shaoyu at the first time, which was also 30,000.
But what he didn't know was that at the same time, Li Xiuning was talking to Zhou Shaoyu.
"The Turks reacted very quickly, and if it was a surprise attack, it would seem to be unexpected, but it would not have much effect. If you don't come out slowly, you can hit it head-on with the help of the sunset. And Ashina is suspicious, our move will definitely lead to suspicion, will not dare to go out with all his strength, will inevitably have reservations, is to face us, by no means all 50,000 troops, yes, the first wave of our army's charge must have momentum, hit the impact, strive to defeat with one blow, and then decisively withdraw when other reinforcements arrive, and must not ......fight for a long time."
This is the strategy set by Li Xiuning.
The main purpose of Zhou Shaoyu's trip is not to rescue Gao Yuyao, but to show an attitude to the world and make an explanation. With this move, no matter whether Gao Yuyao lives or dies in the future, Zhou Shaoyu can deal with it most perfectly, and he can also win more fame.
In addition, although Gao Yuyao was not directly rescued, the help was not small at all. The appearance of Zhou Shaoyu means that Yancheng is no longer lonely, and there are still reinforcements to be sought, which arouses a little hope in people's hearts, and they will no longer be as desperate as that, which is a big boost to morale. At least not by a few more successful than the breakouts in the future.
"Zhou Lang, let's motivate me." The big war is imminent, and Yang Miaozhen, who is close to the left, spoke.
The cool breeze blew, bringing up a little dust, Zhou Shaoyu rode on the horse and turned the horse's head.
Boost morale? Zhou Shaoyu really doesn't have much experience in this kind of thing, but at this time, he is the head coach, and there is no reason to let Yang Miaozhen do it for him.
After thinking about it, I had an idea.
"Soldiers!" Zhou Shaoyu yelled: "No need to be nervous, no need to be afraid!" Because, I'm Zhou Shaoyu! Always ahead of you! ”
Lead by example.
There is no simpler and more direct way than this, Zhou Shaoyu is in front, which means that the handsome is also in the front, and the commander of the first army is still at the forefront, so why do the soldiers under his command not sell their lives? Not to mention, Zhou Shaoyu, the coach, is a highly respected existence.
The members of this cavalry army are basically people from the Northland, and in the Northland, Zhou Shaoyu is the only hope, and it is he who single-handedly rebuilt the state, giving them and their families hope for their future lives. No one would want to see Zhou Shaoyu have an accident, then, in the case of Zhou Shaoyu rushing to the forefront, there is no other choice but to fight to the death.
"Kill!"
The horn of the charge, the beating of the standing drum, the neighing of the war horse, the surging of the horse's hooves, the shouting of killing and shaking the sky.
War makes people bloody and frightening.
30,000 cavalry against 30,000 cavalry, just looking at the numbers on paper, there is not much real feeling, and the number of people does not seem to be shocking, but the actual occurrence gives people only two words, tragic!
Generals are connected, men and horses collide, and the person at the forefront of the charge may not be able to retain even a piece of intact meat.
Wailing, screaming, convulsions, both men and horses.
Fortunately, in the end, it is the advantage, Zhou Shaoyu's direction is facing away from the sun, and the sunset has not completely set at this moment. And the vision of the Turkic army facing the setting sun was damaged, which directly affected the corresponding combat power.
Zhou Shaoyu took the lead, in fact, he was also afraid, but the possibility of death was much smaller.
First, the armor worn is by no means able to break through the current blade, and second, even if you are seriously injured in a collision, you can quickly cross back and forth to recover.
However, in the end, it was the first time to fight this kind of hard battle between the cavalry and the cavalry, and there were more or less stumbling and hurrying, but fortunately, one charge was not knocked off the horse. On the other hand, Yang Miaozhen is like a fish in water, and he seems to be at ease, not only effectively avoiding any possible collision in advance, but also killing countless enemies with a spear in one hand.
Gao Yuyao, who was on the city wall, looked at it. Intellectually, she knew that it was impossible to break off with Zhou Shaoyu, but as the only man who was entangled with her, how could she have no mind at all? Not to mention that in such a desperate situation, only Zhou Shaoyu appeared, which deepened Zhou Shaoyu's position in her heart. Even if he will still focus on the big beam afterwards and not be disturbed by personal feelings, at least for now, he never wants Zhou Shaoyu to have an accident.
