Chapter 351: Rushing to the Border
Chapter 351: Rushing to the Border
Gou Li City, located in the northern border of Chen State, here is the last line of defense in the north of Chen State, once this city is broken, the Yu army will be all the way like a bamboo, long drive straight into, straight into the capital of Chen Guoguo, so no matter what, Gou Li City must be held, now the Yu Empire has 50,000 troops, stationed outside the Gou Li City, waiting to launch an attack at any time, and at this time there are less than 20,000 defenders on the Gou Li City, and wait until the 50,000 male divisions of the Yu Empire have been replaced, this city is afraid that a war will be broken.
Guo Zhen, the general of the city guard, was wearing iron clothes, standing on the city tower, looking into the distance with a serious face, he knew that there were 50,000 troops of the Yu Empire there, waiting to attack them at any time, the reason why the other party did not attack for a long time, on the one hand, it was indeed because of the previous war that made them very angry, but on the other hand, I am afraid that they are hoping to surrender without a fight, and take down the city without blood.
Today's Gou Li City still has 20,000 troops, with a strong tower, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is not very difficult to insist until the army of the DPRK and China arrives, but what really worries Guo Zhen is that now the city has been panicked, the army and people in the city have long been shocked by the momentum of Dayu, Dayu's army often runs outside the city to shout, so that the soldiers and civilians in the city take the initiative to open the city and surrender, otherwise the day of the city will be slaughtered the whole city, under this heavy pressure, what family and country feelings, what national righteousness, seems to have become very fragile, there are already some soldiers who have tried to cooperate with the enemy to surrender, if Guo Zhen did not find out in time, all these people will be killed to the heart of the army, I'm afraid that today's Gou Li City has already changed hands.
"General. At this time, a tall soldier behind him walked behind Guo Zhen with heavy steps, bowed down and spoke.
"How?" Guo Zhen knew that the news he was waiting for had finally arrived, and this news would determine their fate in the future.
After a little hesitation, he gritted his teeth and said:
"There has been news in the DPRK that the six princes are rushing here with 100,000 troops, and other than that, I have not heard of any other deployments. ”
"The Sixth Prince?" Guo Zhen frowned slightly, and asked with some doubts, he has been guarding the border all the year round, and he has rarely heard of the affairs of the court, so naturally he has never heard of the obscure Six Princes, let alone him, if it weren't for Haotian suddenly going to the court to take the initiative to ask for help, I'm afraid that even many people in the capital don't know about the existence of him.
"Yes, the sixth prince, Sun Yanwu, he is only fourteen years old this year. The adjutant general introduced Haotian's information concisely, and he didn't say much more, because he didn't know much more about the six princes than Guo Zhen.
Guo Zhen fell silent after listening to the deputy general's words, to the deputy general's surprise, he did not become depressed or desperate because of this news, but a sharp light emanated from the tiger's eyes, and the aura of silence seemed to rise again these days, and a sense of war began to surge in his heart.
"My king has not abandoned us, nor has he abandoned this country, at this time he is willing to send a prince to the border in person, which has proved my king's determination, this battle, although there is no regret in death!" Guo Zhen turned his head to look in the direction outside the city again, and said in a low voice, what he is most worried about these days is actually the attitude of the court, if the new king of the court is afraid of the power of Dayu and surrenders without a fight, this is the worst result, when the country will not be a country, they are loyal to the country, I am afraid that even if they die on the battlefield, there is no meaning.
After listening to Guo Zhen's words, the deputy general was also shocked, he only thought that it was a fourteen-year-old nameless prince who came, full of disappointment, but at this time he suddenly understood what it meant for a prince to be willing to bring troops at this time, the same as the royal conquest of the lord of the country, which represented the backbone and courage of the Chen royal family, even in the face of the menacing Dayu, Chen Guo was not willing to be someone else's slave.
On the same day, the news that the six princes of Chen State led 100,000 troops to the border pass in the north spread all over Chen State, and naturally also spread to Gou Li City, the original city of people's turmoil quickly calmed down, and many people seemed to rekindle hope and confidence, they didn't know who the six princes were, and they didn't care if the six princes were once dumb, they were just ordinary people, as long as the country was still there, as long as the royal family was still there, they would not give up, because no one wanted to become someone else's slave and become a traitor of the country, since there was a prince who was willing to bring troops to guard the border at this time, then they naturally would not surrender lightly。
This news naturally spread to the Dayu army, the main general Xu Lin couldn't help laughing after hearing it, he laughed at Chen Guo's incompetence, and even thought about fighting with them at this time, and the second was laughing at Chen Guo There was no one available, and he actually let a milky boy bring troops to come, which was simply to send him to death, and he added another brilliant stroke to General Xu's brilliant life's achievements, and waited until he captured the six princes alive, to see if there were still people in the Chen Kingdom willing to resist desperately.
Out of absolute confidence in himself, Xu Lin did not immediately lead the army to attack the city, on the one hand, half of the 50,000 army is still injured, the combat effectiveness is greatly weakened, and the siege may not be effective, on the other hand, if the city is broken at this time, it is estimated that His Royal Highness the prince will be frightened directly and turn his head back, this is not what General Xu wants to see, he might as well wait until His Royal Highness the prince arrives in Gou Li City, gather his 50,000 elites, and fight head-on with the opponent's 100,000 army, as long as this army is defeated, then Chen State, whether it is morale or popular heart, will collapse at the same time, and it will be easy to conquer Chen State when the time comes。
Haotian has already calculated that Xu Lin will make this plan, he has already inquired about the information about this famous general before the expedition, as a veteran of the battlefield, more than brave, but not resourceful, otherwise he would not be ranked at the end of the five tiger generals, but it does not mean that he is just a reckless man, he still knows how to choose in some major matters, so Haotian guessed that he would give up the direct siege of the city, and chose to wait until the Chen army arrived in Gouli City, and the Chen army fought head-on, because he knew that once Haotian arrived with the troops, he would definitely want to rely on the advantage of troops to go out of the city directly, on the one hand, the threat can be lifted, and on the other hand, it can also inspire the hearts of the army and the people。
A few days later, Haotian led an army of 100,000 to Gou Licheng day and night, he was wearing a black armor, and under his crotch was a black-maned horse unique to Chen Guo, although his face was slightly immature, but sitting on horseback, there was a breathtaking majesty, when Guo Zhen saw him for the first time, his heart couldn't help but be slightly shocked, His Royal Highness the prince, has the posture of a fierce tiger on the battlefield, it is definitely not a thing in the pool, Chen Guo, maybe saved!
