Chapter 535: Defenseless
It's getting dark.
Li Fuzai summoned all the generals to discuss the matter, and after sending everyone away, he was left alone in the tent.
He looked at the map of Guangnan West Road spread out on the table, only staring at Yongzhou and Guangzhou, and did not move for a long time.
Yili led an army of 100,000 to surround the city of Yongzhou, only besieging but not attacking, it took so long, Li Fuzai didn't look in a hurry on the face, but in fact, he was not in a hurry.
Although he captured Qinzhou and Lianzhou that day, he had already looted the treasury, but the grain that added up to less than 30,000 stones, how could 100,000 soldiers survive?
The national strength of Jiaozhi is already weak, the longer the battle line, the more difficult it is to supply, 10,000 soldiers are outside, and nearly 10,000 people are involved in the requisition of grain and conscription, and 100,000 soldiers are involved, not to mention 100,000.
The longer the fight continues, the harder it will be for the country to press.
He dared to come this time, originally wanting to steal a peach from the gap, and then withdraw the army in time when the Jin people did not have their hands free.
Da Yue has the Fuliang River, and the land is far away and remote, and there is a miasma, the Jin people used to fight, and ten times out of ten times they suffered big losses, but later there was a different Yang Kui, so they had no choice but to shrink their heads.
Now that Yang Kui is also dead, and Wu Yi has a reason to send troops to himself later, Li Fuzai always feels that this is cheap and not picked up, it is really a waste, and then the change of imperial power in the country of Jiaozhi, in order to protect his prestige, this is the only way to contribute to the big war of going north to attack the Jin court.
It has been more than a month since the departure, and it is not so easy to supply grain and straw under the city of Deyongzhou right now.
Li Fuzai estimated the grain in the camp, and there was no problem in holding it back for half a month, but if it was longer, if the grain behind could not keep up, it would be troublesome.
This time, he sent troops, and the early stage was unmatched, and he connected two cities, destroyed more than ten villages, plundered gold and silver, and took countless prisoners, so he couldn't help but raise his appetite.
Because he knows a lot about Jindi, Li Fuzai knows what are the rich prefectures and counties on the two roads of Guangnan.
It is not very convenient to go to Guizhou from Yongzhou, but if you want to go to Guangzhou by land, water and sea, it is extremely simple.
He has coveted Guangzhou for a long time!
Once Guangzhou is captured, the gold, silver, jewelry, and rare playthings in the port city can be compared to places like Yongzhou!
I thought that although I would encounter resistance in Yongzhou, after all, it was Wu Yi who knew the state here, and since this person dared to arch the fire, he must have made a lot of preparations, but in the end he brought an army of 100,000 people, at most, it would take a little more effort, and he would still be able to win in the end.
Who would have thought that the city would only rely on the Divine Arm Bow to hold out for so long.
Li Fuzai looked at the map of Guangnan Road and tightened the pen in his hand.
For five more days, the city will be sieged.
It can't be delayed for too long.
After taking Yongzhou, there will be some time left for Guangzhou.
This is a once-in-a-century opportunity, once you grasp it steadily, you will be a hero who has left a name for the ages and is one in the world.
If you spend too long here, when the Jin reinforcements come, you can only retreat, no matter this time, next time, I am afraid that I will never be able to go to Guangzhou again in my life.
He had been thinking about the generals and various arrangements for the siege in the next few days, and then he returned to the tent and slept uncomfortably.
***
The ugliness had just passed, and the sky was dark, and there was no light, only the cold wind was blowing from all directions.
About three hundred steps away from the north gate of Yongzhou City, Zong Mu was rubbing his hands and stomping his feet in place.
Compared to Cochin, the winter in Yongzhou is too cold.
Zongmu is nearly forty years old, when he returned to the northern expedition, he was one of them, only the first time was summer, he was young, and he didn't feel how difficult it was, but this time it was winter, and the cold wind was blowing outside in the middle of the night, which made people really unbearable.
Guarding the north gate of Yongzhou with Zong Mu, there were seven other soldiers, all of whom had already found a place to shelter from the wind, and the regiment was napping in one place.
Zongmu counted the time in his heart, and only felt that his upper and lower eyelids were fighting.
At this time, it was the most tired time of the day, he was old, he stayed up for an hour, his whole body was tired and sore, he endured it for a while, squatted down and looked at the wooden stick inserted in the ground - it was too dark, not to mention the shadow, even the stick was almost invisible, how could he tell the hour.
He was so sleepy that he rubbed his face and went to wake up a soldier under the tree.
The soldier woke up for a long time, and he didn't recognize Zongmu at first, but he could hear him speak, so he reacted and whispered, "It's my turn so soon?" ”
Zongmu didn't reply to him, only patted the man's shoulder, dragged him out, and he shrank into the position where he was sitting a little warmer, and the upper and lower eyelids were covered, and the person fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, but his heart jumped, and he suddenly woke up, shrunk his feet, and looked forward with his eyes wide.
It was dark, and I couldn't see anything clearly in the distance, but I couldn't ignore the slight tremor on the ground.
Zong Mu had fought for a few years, and there was a sense of fear in his heart inexplicably, he quickly stood up and walked a few steps forward, but he didn't see the soldier who should be in the guard, turned his head and looked, and searched around for a long time before he groped his way to find him on the ground not far away.
- In the middle of the night, I didn't take a good turn, but I fell asleep!
Zong Mu didn't care about scolding, and hurriedly woke up the soldier, and before he could ask, he heard the sound of a warning horn in the distance, and discerned the direction for a while, as if it was at the south gate.
The soldier finally shook his head, finally came to his senses, and was about to speak, but suddenly stretched out his hand, pointed ahead, and shouted in horror: "Brother Zong! ”
It was too dark, and Somu couldn't see the expression of the person on the other side clearly, it was a horror that was frightened to the extreme.
But even if he couldn't see clearly, it didn't prevent him from hearing the panic in the voice, and he turned his head and was about to ask, when he saw a light struck him in front of his eyes.
Where does the light come from?
Somu couldn't help but think.
He opened his mouth, and before he could speak, the light struck him around the neck.
In just an instant, blood broke out from Zongmu's neck.
He didn't notice much pain, and the round head on top of it had already rolled to the ground, splattering with blood.
Until his head was in a different place, he couldn't reflect what was happening.
The Jiaozhi soldier who called "Brother Zong" trembled all over, and opened his mouth to call for help and warning, but he heard a laugh from the other side, and before his voice could come out of his throat, the light that followed slashed towards his neck.
The two cross-to-head soldiers of the rotation returned to the west in just an instant.
