Chapter 535: The Great War

"Report! General! Something is wrong! Something happened to Gaochang City! ”

Zhou Yafu, who had already faded from his heavy armor and was wearing only a single coat, was reading at night with his own lamp, but a young general opened the curtain in a panic and rushed in.

Zhou Yafu originally wanted to be angry, but after listening to the words, he stood up in shock, and he no longer cared about holding the young general at a loss.

"What happened in Gaochang City?"

"General, you better take a look at it yourself!"

The young general swallowed his saliva and pointed out of the tent with an ugly face.

At this time, the chaotic shouting outside the tent became clearer and louder, Zhou Yafu frowned deeply, and without thinking about it, he rushed out of the tent with a dodge.

The faint red is infinite, and the fireflies are in the sky, and I see that the sky above the direction of Gaochang City in the east is now brightened by the endless firelight, which is extremely dazzling in this dark night.

This situation suddenly made Zhou Yafu's body stagger, and his lips trembled a little.

Compared with others, he can imagine how much danger lies behind this scene......

"Drums! Ringing arrows! Release! Order all the soldiers of the legion to immediately put on armor and form a defensive formation, no one is allowed to run around, run, or make noise, and the law enforcement team will strictly patrol, but if there are those who do not disturb the formation, they will be killed! ”

Zhou Yafu almost roared, and such a look couldn't help but frighten the guards and deputy generals who had just rushed over next to him in shock;

But at least, Zhou Yafu's order made their hearts finally settle down, at least they knew what to do at this time.

"No!"

Riding fast, the drums and trumpets sounded in unison, and the brilliant fireworks signal rose into the sky, and the originally panicked camp finally settled down at this moment;

It was like the countless parts on a huge machine, quickly taking their own places, forming gears to assemble the entire central battalion into a huge war machine, and began to operate slowly.

"Immediately Feishu left camp and right camp, General Li and General Gongsun formed a formation to defend and increase vigilance, but if there is any change, report it immediately!"

Seeing that the camp had finally settled down, Zhou Yafu breathed a sigh of relief, but he still didn't dare to slack off in his heart.

"No!"

"In addition, ......"

"Report ......"

Zhou Yafu was about to give another order, but a cavalryman rode a horse and galloped in shouting.

"Report! General! The army of the Guanghan Dynasty in the West is coming!

The enemy cavalry was raging, hundreds of our teams of nearly 10,000 scouts were slaughtered, and only a few hundred escaped and returned! ”

Zhou Yafu's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly asked:

"How many men are there in the enemy army?"

"Back to the Great General! The night was too dark, and the enemy army was secretly moving again, and the exact number and scale could not be known, only that its vanguard cavalry was not under 200,000! ”

The scout commander replied resignedly.

Zhou Yafu's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he stared at the young general's forehead in a cold sweat.

"General, this ...... The last general is derelict in his duties and worthy of the trust of the general, and the last general is willing to be punished! ”

The young general originally wanted to defend himself, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back, knelt on one knee and bowed his head bitterly and pleaded guilty.

"Humph! Now that the enemy is attacking in a big way, remember this first!

Come! ”

Zhou Yafu snorted coldly, and then turned his head to the guards and snorted coldly.

"In!"

"Fly to Gaochang City immediately and find out what happened there!

In addition, five battalions of cavalry rushed to the western front and led horses to stand by! ”

Zhou Yafu originally wanted to send part of the army back to Gaochang City, but at this time, the enemy army attacked in a big way, and the specific scale was not yet known, but he did not dare to divide his troops easily.

"No!"

"Order the Guards Brigade to assemble, and then go to the front line with General Ben!"

"No!"

When Zhou Yafu put on his armor and wore weapons to go out of the tent, several messenger cavalry suddenly rushed over again.

"Report! General! There are rumors in the army that Yan Wang Feng Wuji secretly reached an agreement with the Guanghan Dynasty early on and carried out dirty cooperation! I intend to bury all the troops of my western expedition here! ”

"What?!"

Zhou Yafu was suddenly shocked, and the action of lifting the script to step on the war horse also froze.

If Yan Wang Feng Wuji really colluded with the Guanghan Dynasty, then ......

Zhou Yafu couldn't imagine what it would mean for their westward expedition and even for the entire Yuan and Han dynasties if this rumor was true.

But deep down in his heart, he didn't want to believe it at all, rumors were rumors after all, maybe this was the smoke deliberately released by the enemy army in order to further demoralize the army.

However, turning his head to look at the sky above Gaochang City, which was still clear, Zhou Yafu had to believe it again.

Gaochang City has a large army of 500,000, and the surrounding enemy troops have been cleared, even if there are still enemy troops lurking in the city, but the number is not so much, it will not be able to scourge Gaochang City like that without warning!

Unless, Feng Wuji really colluded with the Guanghan Dynasty, and Feng Wuji's 200,000 Yan troops were in the city, if the guards in the city did not have the slightest defense against them, then the changes that happened in Gaochang City could be explained.

"General! Gaochang Chengxun Captain Feishu came and said that the Yan army had indeed plotted against each other and burned nearly half of the grain and grass armaments in the city!

Fortunately, Captain Xun has always had doubts about the Yan Army, and when the Yan Army sent people to poison the diet, Captain Xun responded in time, although he killed most of the Yan Army, but still let tens of thousands of people escape, and nearly half of the baggage was burned. ”

Zhou Yafu couldn't help but burst when he heard this, he still regarded Feng Wuji as a pillar of the dynasty! It's a shame that he trusts him so much! Thanks to his trust, he arranged those Yan troops to Gaochang City for repair!

The wind is infinite, how can you be like this?!

"Ah!!h

Zhou Yafu raised his head and roared, his voice was full of murder, remorse, and resentment!

It can be said that the accident in Gaochang City was caused by him, how can he not regret it?

"General! Don't be like this, general! After all, Gaochang City is still in the hands of our army, and the remaining baggage is enough to support the army for half a month.

Coupled with the surplus in the army, it is safe in the short term.

At this time, the top priority is to deal with the army of the Guanghan Dynasty! Don't let it take advantage of the chaos of our army! ”

A lieutenant general on the side saw that Zhou Yafu was so sad and indignant, and hurriedly clenched his fists and admonished.

"The wind is boundless! General Ben and you are incompatible! ”

Zhou Yafu slowly suppressed the anger in his belly, and the handle of the knife in his hand was actually pinched by him with a creaky sound.

"Report! General! The left camp and the right camp are under a frenzied siege at the same time!

The enemy launched a rapid offensive against the two battalions from three directions, especially the enemy on the east flank, General Li and General Gongsun never expected that there would be enemy troops in the east, because the rear army of the two battalions was already close to collapse, and the situation was extremely critical! ”

At this moment, another cavalryman rushed over from the Guards Signal Battalion, with three small red flags on his back, symbolizing the urgency of the military situation.

East?

Zhou Yafu couldn't help but be stunned, the general movements of the Guanghan Dynasty camp in the west were all monitored by them at all times, and the large-scale army wanted to detour to their east, so it was impossible not to be discovered!

And since it is possible to attack the rear army of the two battalions close to the collapse, then its number must be quite large.

However, where did the Guanghan Dynasty come out of such a large army?

Thinking of this, Zhou Yafu's face changed again in an instant.

Since Feng Wuji colluded with the Guanghan Dynasty, the previous battles of Python Mountain and the Battle of Bailongdui ......

If these two battles are all pretenses and illusions, then it means that the enemy army suddenly has more than 5 million troops!

And most of them are the elite Central Army of the Guanghan Dynasty!

With such power, it would be an absolute disaster for them who were defenseless and mentally prepared!

But the key at present is that the Guanghan Dynasty chose to concentrate on attacking the two battalions on the left and right, and only sent a part of the military force to contain its central battalion?

Or is the enemy still keeping an eye on his central battalion and will suddenly attack when he tries to divide his forces to rescue the two battalions?

This situation is really difficult for Zhou Yafu to see through at once, after all, the enemy army already has more than 10 million troops at this time, which is more than 2 million more than their army!

The offensive and defensive advantages and disadvantages were reversed in an instant, and the enemy army occupied the advantage of being familiar with the geographical advantage, this battle, Zhou Yafu knew that it was very dangerous, but he couldn't think of any good way.

was irritable and anxious, but Zhou Yafu could only rush to the front line of the Central Army immediately, wanting to collect some more information before making plans.

Gaochang City.

It was already noon on the second day, and Feng Yi and the others were in the small hall in the back hall of the City Lord's Mansion, quietly staring at the sand table situation map in the center without the slightest word.

Almost every hour, a soldier would come to make a move on the battle map in the sand table.

From the current point of view, the left camp of the Yuan and Han Dynasty in the sand table has only one-third of the scale left, and the missing piece is mainly east and south;

As for the right battalion, it is even more miserable, its size is already about one-fifth, and it is now in a situation of being besieged by regiments;

But what surprised people was the central camp.

The army of the central camp is no longer in its original location, and its position at this moment has moved fifty miles to the west, reaching the original camp of the Guanghan Dynasty.

Moreover, the size of the central battalion is only about a quarter less, and the main force is still alive, while the Guanghan battalion, which is opposite Maimang, has shrunk a lot, and the size of the central army is much less.

Of course, this scale situation map only illustrates the size of the range occupied by the concentration density of the army, and it is not the specific size of the army.

Even so, it can also be seen that the Yuan and Han dynasties had more disadvantages than advantages at this time, and losses were greater than gains.

The left battalion and the right battalion of the Yuan and Han dynasties are surrounded by dense enemy troops at this moment, if the central army cannot quickly solve the enemy in time to return to help, then the right battalion will inevitably be completely annihilated, and the fate of the left battalion is estimated to be no better.
