Besieging the city and sending reinforcements, this is exactly the strategy set by Sun Ning against the enemy this time.

As early as when he sent Zhuge Qingyun as an envoy to make concessions in order to ask both sides to withdraw their troops, he already knew that Yongzhou City was a heavy place for the Guirong people to use troops in the south. In this way, it is natural to guess that they will definitely attach great importance to their city, and once Yongzhou is attacked, they will inevitably send troops and horses to save it.

It was precisely by seizing this point that Sun Ning ostensibly raised troops to attack Yongzhou, but in fact, it was more just a show, just to spread this false news. In fact, he secretly mobilized all the cavalry under his command and rushed to the south of the section of the road leading to Yongzhou to set up an ambush on both sides of the official road at the fastest speed.

In this way, just waiting for the so-called rescuers of Ghost Rong to come in a hurry and get into the pocket formation, their fate will naturally be decided.

All this was really as Sun Ning thought, coupled with the amazing lethality of the heavy cavalry, and the soldiers used their lives, they really hit this road of soldiers and horses in a battle, and also drove them to flee to Yongzhou City.

At this time, Xiao Kedi no longer pursued them as closely as before, and only followed them with a part of the elite cavalry to control the distance, and also followed all the way to the city of Yongzhou.

His goal is very clear, that is, he wants to use these defeated troops as a stepping stone to open Yongzhou City!

Yes, this is also part of Sun Ning's plan, or even more important.

It is important to seize the opportunity to break the enemy and kill the enemy this time, but compared to killing and injuring a ghost Rong elite horseman, the impact of capturing Yongzhou on the entire battle situation will inevitably be greater.

Because the geographical location of this big city in Hebei is quite critical, it is stuck on the main road connecting Hebei and northern Xinjiang. And more importantly, there is also a large amount of grain from all over the north hoarded here, as long as the city is captured, it will cut off the logistics of the Guirong people.

At that time, when the news spreads, I am afraid that the more than 100,000 ghost army will collapse on the spot, so that the Vietnamese army can win without a fight.

However, because of this, this Yongzhou is naturally more difficult to attack than Jizhou, not to mention anything else, just defending the city, there are 20,000 or 30,000 people. Moreover, eighty percent of these people are still the defenders of the northern frontier who have surrendered to the ghost many years ago.

Now these surrendered troops have long been dead to the ghosts, or to the Smelzhen.

The secret spies of the previous Dayue Wuyi Division did not work these former Dayue soldiers, trying to persuade them to come to the battlefield anyway. But as a result, not only did it end in failure, but most of the spies also lost their lives as a result.

Obviously, since the original surrender to the ghosts, these former guardians of the northern frontier of Dayue have abandoned their former identities and completely become the enemies of Dayue and the Central Plains.

Sun Ning didn't know the specific reason, he only knew that in this way, this Yongzhou would naturally become the most difficult bone to gnaw, if it was a strong attack, it would definitely not succeed, so he could only make surprise moves.

And these defeated Guirong defeated troops are important chess pieces he used to capture Yongzhou.

Under the pursuit of Xiao Ke's enemy cavalry all the way, Hu Lingda and his party really kept fleeing like a lost dog, until they ran out for more than 20 miles, and when they saw the big city standing in front of them, they showed ecstasy one by one, continued to beat their horses and accelerated forward, and shouted loudly: "Open the city gate quickly, save our ......"

Their shouts could be heard far away, and by the time they reached the city, they could barely be heard. But just from the embarrassed appearance of them running all the way, and the billowing smoke and dust of the pursuing army behind them, it was enough for the defenders of the city to see the clues.

Han Jin was dressed in military uniform, solemnly looking at the soldiers and horses of the enemy and us who were constantly rushing, his brows were already tightly wrinkled, and several subordinates beside him opened their mouths with eagerness: "General, look at their costumes and banners, they are really the main cavalry of the Murwei Department......

"I think they heard the wind and came to the rescue of our Yongzhou City, but they were defeated by the Vietnamese army. We need to rescue them and let them into the city!" ”

The others all nodded their heads, saying that they would immediately open the city and send troops to rescue them.

But Han Jin, as the general of the city, was still standing there like a sculpture, and he had no intention of sending troops to open the city, but his brows looked tighter and tighter.

"General......" Duan Song, a close confidant, shouted again, "They are almost under the city, they have to open the city quickly......"

"Can't open the city!" Han Jin finally spoke, but he denied everyone's statement in one sentence, and said with a solemn expression, "Once the city is opened, not only them, but also us and the grain and straw of this city will be in danger!" At that point, how do we go about giving an account to the Great Khan? ”

"But ......" subordinates wanted to persuade again, but were interrupted by him waving his hand: "No need to persuade again, I have made up my mind!" ”

In a few words, Hu Daling had already arrived in the city, and he looked really miserable covered in blood, and even his voice became extremely hoarse. I saw him shouting loudly: "Han Jin, I am Hu Daling, and now I am here by the order of the Great Khan, you quickly open the city gate and let us in......"

"Captain Fox Darling, I know you." Han Jin quickly probed from a high place and clenched his fist at him slightly, "But I'm sorry, now Yongzhou is in danger, and without the Great Khan's military order, I don't dare to open the city easily."

"You have also seen that there are a large number of Vietnamese troops chasing after you, and once I open the city gate, it will not only be you who will be put in, but also those tens of thousands of Vietnamese pursuers. At that time, once Yongzhou is lost, you and I will die, and we will not be able to explain to the Great Khan. So, sorry ......"

Hu Daling never dreamed that the other party would have such an attitude, which made his whole person stunned for a while, and only after a while did he understand, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he screamed: "Han Jin, you are so bold, are you going to rebel and want to surrender to the Han people again?" Why don't you want to see death and let us be killed? ”

These words were really heart-wrenching, and they also frightened the other defenders in the city to change color for a while.

As a Han army, in such a war, it is naturally easy to be suspicious of the ghosts. Because of this, this army of soldiers and horses in northern Xinjiang, which is also experienced in a hundred battles, will be left in Yongzhou and will not get the opportunity to fight south.

And now, this sensitive topic has actually been put on the bright side by Hu Daling, not only the defenders in the city feel unable to deal with it, but the ghost Rong people in the city have also had different thoughts.

At that moment, a burst of scolding continued to gush out of their mouths, and it was easy for them to flee here, but they could not take refuge in the city, which was completely unacceptable to them.

But even so, Han Jin didn't mean to compromise, he just clenched his fists again and said loudly: "My duty is to guard Yongzhou, I have the responsibility to ensure the safety of the city, and I don't care about anything else!" Captain Hudage, look behind you again, the pursuers have not gone up again, and they are obviously waiting for us to open the city. ”

Being reminded by him, Hu Daling calmed down a little, turned his head to look back, and sure enough, he saw that the Vietnamese army that was chasing him all the way stopped three miles away......
