Chapter 79: The Decisive Moment
"General Chen! When will your soldiers be ready to fight? Our army is running out! Above the castle tower, the King of the Yue Clan asked profusely. The war with Wusun had begun for more than a month, and although there was Chen Qingzhi's command, because the soldiers and generals of the Dayue clan were weaker than Wusun, they tried their best to barely stop the arrogant army.
During this time, four of the five tribes of the Yue Clan suffered heavy losses, but only the original most powerful Guishan tribe was able to preserve its strength because it handed over its most elite troops to Chen Qingzhi and stayed in the city to train! This made the leaders of the Humi, Shuangmi, Fatton, and Dumi tribes very dissatisfied! repeatedly asked Chen Qingzhi to immediately lead the copycat version of the white-robed team to attack Wusun in front of the king of the Yue clan, but Chen Qingzhi refused because the training had not yet been completed and the time had not come, and the king of the Yue clan also had a lot of support, but today he finally couldn't stand it!
In yesterday's battle, the army of the Hughmi tribe insisted on pursuing the enemy despite Chen Qingzhi's dissuasion, but fell into the trap set by Hunt Jiaomi and suffered heavy losses, less than 4,000 of the 10,000 troops who attacked fled back to the city, and the rest were either killed on the battlefield or became prisoners of the Wusun people.
When the news came, the four nobles of Xiumi, Shuangmi, Fat Dun, and Dumi came to the palace in front of the King of the Yue Clan, and strongly asked him to send the last reserve of the Great Yue Clan, Chen Qingzhi's seven thousand white-robed troops!
Even if these people still have a considerable number of troops in their hands, out of the sake of preserving their strength and scruples about the Kushan Division, they may not be willing to die in the next battle! Because they were defeated, they could continue to flee westward, and if their men were killed or wounded, even if they were victorious, there was no point.
Li You and Chen Qingzhi know what these people think; The time for the four nobles to force the palace was about the same as they expected, and after more than a month of training, the seven thousand copycat white-robed team could barely meet Chen Qingzhi's requirements, so he nodded slightly after hearing this and replied, "Although my Yue Clan's army is tired now, the arrogant Wusun Army is also not comfortable!" In this month's effort, they have lost nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses! At this time, it was already on the verge of limit, and now it was the time when winter turned to spring, and most of those soldiers were worried that their horses and sheep would be left untended, and the army would return; Therefore, Hunt Jiaomi will definitely do his best to launch the final offensive in the next few days! ”
"So what are we going to do?" The king of the Yue clan was shocked when he heard this, in the previous war, he only used 50,000 troops at most once, and the rest of the time was all the troops taking turns to fight, even so, the Yue clan was a little unbearable! Now that more than 100,000 troops are slaughtered together, how should they deal with it?
"Chen has been prepared for this matter!" Chen Qingzhi replied confidently, "Tonight, I will lead General Vesishka, General Huvishka and the seven thousand cavalry under their command to sneak out from the south gate and go around to the rear of the arrogant hunter!" His Majesty is in the city to defend against his onslaught! When the Wusun army is tired, I will lead the men and horses to fight from behind and win a great victory! ”
"This" This plan sounds feasible, but the Yue Clan King is still worried, what if Chen Qingzhi runs away with this 7,000 army? Isn't he just a turtle in an urn?
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will stay in the city with the rest of the mission to defend the city with your army! Waiting for the fighter to mature will send a signal to the outside of the city, and once the signal is issued, the Otsutsuki clan will definitely break Wusun! Li You is taking himself as a hostage, but for the sake of the future situation, this risk is still worth it!
That night, Chen Qingzhi quietly went out of the south gate with 7,000 cavalry, and disappeared into the night under the cover of night; And Li You took the rest of the soldiers to guard the city gate.
"Kill!" With the help of being stunned by the shouting, Li You stabbed the long sword into the chest and abdomen of this Wusun soldier, and then raised his foot and kicked him off the city wall, and another wave of attacks was repulsed by them!
Whew, the enemy retreated like a tide, Li You sat on the ground and gasped for breath, this is the third time he has personally entered the battle today! The long sword made by the famous swordsmith of the Great Han Dynasty in his hand even has a gap! If it weren't for the bravery of his corporals, Li You might even die!
What a thrill to fight! Since leaving Chang'an to the present, Li You can be regarded as experienced in a hundred battles! But neither the elite of the royal court, nor the thieves in the desert let him fall to such a thrilling point! Thinking about his unashamed words on the Internet back then, Li You not only blushed for a while, it seems that he was just Ye Gong Haolong at the beginning!
After resting for a while, he stood up and looked around the city wall, there were wailing Yue soldiers everywhere, these soldiers covered in blood and broken hands and feet greatly affected the morale on the city wall, and those soldiers who were still intact also showed horror, for fear that they would die in the next attack of the enemy.
Three days, counting today, the Otsuki clan can hold on for three days at most! After inspecting the circle, Li You beat a drum in his heart, is three days enough to exhaust the morale of the Wusun people?
The city wall of the Dayue clan is not as majestic as the Chang'an City of the Han Dynasty, it is only a few zhang high, and the wall can barely stand two rows of people, which is not a big advantage for the defending side; With far less strength than their opponents, it is already quite good that these people can hold out for so long!
But Li You still hopes that they can hold on for a few more days! Therefore, he turned to look at these soldiers and said with a feigned disdain, "Are you Dayue people so cowardly? We, the Han people, accompanied you to defend the city, and we didn't feel afraid! You are now guarding your own home, but you are as scared as rabbits! ”
After that, Xu Yannian and the other Han soldiers laughed in unison! Those slightly ashamed Yue Clan soldiers were provoked by this, and rekindled a little courage.
made sarcastic remarks, invited the king of the Yue clan to personally go to the city wall to boost morale, killed the cowardly escapees, and rewarded the brave soldiers Li You used all kinds of means to finally delay the hunt for another three days.
Today's offensive is obviously weaker than yesterday's, can these Wusun people finally not be able to withstand it? Another wave of attacks was repulsed, and Li You took the boiled white cloth from Xu Yannian's hand and tightly wrapped the wound on his arm.
After the wound was wrapped, and he didn't care about resting, Li You climbed to the top of the city tower and looked at the camp of the Wusun people from afar! He secretly opened the Eagle Eye skill, if he could find the flaws of the Wusun people today, then he would immediately send a signal to Chen Qingzhi, if he didn't find it, he wouldn't be able to wait!
