155, the wolf cub can't help but fight
When the saint arrived in Youzhou, he rested for one night, and was about to go to Wuzhou, but was stopped by Sun Zhicheng.
"Your Majesty, not to mention that General Yang of Wuzhou is here, now General Gao has also arrived at Jimingyi, although the enemy army does not know how many there are at present, but there will not be too many people who can bypass Wuzhou to go south, and now Jimingyi has five battalions, more than 10,000 elite soldiers, and General Gao is directly commanded, I believe that Jimingyi can hold on. Besides, General Yang is in Wuzhou, there are at least 20,000 soldiers, although it will be very difficult to face 200,000 troops, but I believe in General Yang, and I also believe that at least before the end of the month, Wuzhou will not break the city. ”
"Your Majesty, now General Gao has been gone for five days, according to the distance, I dare to say that the people who sneaked up on him are not General Gao's opponents at all, maybe they have all been killed by General Gao now, and we will be too late to go over."
"Your Majesty, what I'm worried about now is Youzhou, now there are less than 20,000 soldiers left in the city, and there are only 30,000 auxiliaries. If another enemy army attacked the city at this time, Youzhou would be even more dangerous than Wuzhou. ”
After listening to Sun Zhicheng's analysis, the saint pondered for a while. Indeed, when he heard that Yan Guogong was injured, he was a little anxious, now whether it is Wuzhou or Jimingyi, these two passes are safe, and the most urgent thing at present is the overall situation.
The next step is much simpler, Sun Zhicheng directly took over the command of Youzhou from the left Yiyong general Zhu Yong, and then rearranged all the guards, of course, the Praetorian Guards cannot be moved, and the escort is particularly important.
As Sun Zhicheng expected, five days later, General Gao Zhen returned to Youzhou with a battalion of pro-army troops to pull the seriously injured Yan Guogong.
When Gao Zhen arrived with his troops, Jiang Bin and Deng Jingyun had been fighting fiercely with the Chaer people for three days, and the two sides were fighting inseparably.
Here is also a thing that is beneficial to the Youzhou army, Jimingyi was originally a distribution center for the transit of various materials, not only all kinds of armaments and materials are full of several large warehouses, but even the auxiliary soldiers stranded in the city have two or three thousand.
On the first day of the night battle, half of the original guards were killed and wounded, and even Yan Guogong's personal guards were killed and wounded in the hundreds. There are only more than 3,000 soldiers in the city who can fight, and it is indeed too difficult to face those 8,000 soldiers of Zar who are still strong in battle.
There was no way, in the end, not only all the soldiers in the pass went up to the city wall, but even all the auxiliaries in the city began to climb to the top of the city to resist the attack of the Zar people, although their combat strength was limited, but it was still okay to sneak attack with knives and guns on the city.
Often a few elite soldiers defend a battlement, followed by some auxiliaries, in the face of the enemy army on the city, the main duty of the auxiliaries is to pour fire oil every once in a while, ignite the rolling logs and then push them down.
In addition, when the border army fights with the enemy, squatting on the side and stabbing the enemy's calves and feet with a big gun, because it is easy to recognize that the enemy wears leather boots, and the border army almost all wear cloth shoes.
Not to mention, it's a pretty good way to do it, and it's perfect for melee combat. This is also a feature of the Youzhou Army, which was invented by Yang Jiajun. Of course, the best blade to use this method is a hook gun, but the hook gun is only available to Yang Jiajun.
When General Gao Zhen arrived, both sides were almost unable to fight, the casualties were too great, the siegers had already lost their best opportunity, and the defenders of the city also suffered heavy casualties.
Nubanu is a hard-headed man, and the news that has been found out is that there is only one battalion of soldiers in the Jiming Station, as long as it is arranged, not to mention a blow, it will be a day or two at most to take the Jiming Station.
Although the army still can't pass, but these soldiers can in turn pose a big threat to Wuzhou from the back, and lose the back road, it won't be long before Wuzhou will be unstable, and it will be very simple to break the city.
This strategy was established very early on, and Nubanu was executing exactly this style of play.
But he didn't expect that Yan Guogong's personal guard battalion would arrive at Jimingyi first, and shattered the wishful thinking of the Chaer people at once.
So on the first day, he felt that something was wrong, but there was no way, he had to fight hard.
At this time, there is nowhere to retreat, and it will be much more difficult to go back from the original road, and there are still many injured soldiers who are dragged down, and it is impossible to retreat with all their bodies.
The three battalions led by Gao Zhen entered from the south gate of Jimingyi, and went directly to the pass, he only briefly checked on the city tower, and then issued the order to attack.
For these enemy troops on the opposite side, he almost saw clearly, there was no resistance left, what were you still doing here.
A partial general with three battalions rushed out from the inside to open the city gate, tens of thousands of energetic elite soldiers did not give any chance to the more than 3,000 steppe wolf cubs who had been fighting for nothing, after a period of slashing, not only thousands of wounded, but also Nubanu became the soul of the knife.
After Gao Zhen arranged the city defense of the Jiming Station, he quickly returned to the inner city to check on Yan Guogong's injuries.
Yan Guogong's injuries are very serious, and he has been in a coma for three days since he was hit by the arrow, and he is not getting worse than the day.
Gao Zhen knew that he couldn't delay it any longer, and he had to quickly transfer Yan Guogong to Youzhou for treatment, and that Youzhou really needed to go back quickly, and now Youzhou didn't have a main general, it was still not very suitable, of course, he didn't know that the saint had arrived in Youzhou now.
Before Gao Zhen left, he still left two more battalions of soldiers, and left Deng Jingyun, who was slightly injured, behind, and repeatedly told him to always pay attention to the situation in Wuzhou, and if the situation is urgent, he can lead the two battalions of border troops to Wuzhou for reinforcements.
As for the materials and armaments consumed in this war, Gao Zhen also said that he would send some of the supplies over as soon as he returned to Youzhou.
Yan Guogong couldn't take the car, and the road was still too bumpy, which was very unfavorable to his injury, so Gao Zhen directly tied an artificial stretch bed, carried it by eight people, and rotated every half an hour.
More than 2,000 wounded, almost one person watched and supported one, and the journey was much slower, walking less than 40 miles every day, and it took five full days to return to Youzhou.
So far, no one in the Youzhou border army knows that the saint has arrived in the capital, and the news they know is that Sun Zhicheng, the general of the Praetorian Guard, went to the capital to explore the military defense of the border pass, because the general did not return to take over the general's mansion.
So when he received a report from his subordinates on the way, Gao Zhen was a little strange, he was not surprised that someone came from the capital, the military report had been on for so long, and the reinforcements would not arrive, and the relevant will should have arrived.
Five thousand Praetorian Guards, this is less as reinforcements, but it is not necessary to simply pass on the decree, so after entering the city, he put the Yan State Public Security in order, ordered to find a doctor, and then quickly returned to the General's Mansion.
Sun Zhicheng didn't hide it from him, and took him directly to the back hall of the General's Mansion.
Seeing the saint who was sitting on a chair and looking at the map, Gao was shocked, and it took a while to shake his senses and quickly kneel down to salute.
"The last general, the last general, and the minister see Huai...... Long live Your Majesty, long live your majesty! ”
"General Gao, what kind of courtesy are you, you are about to become a general, unnecessary, unnecessary!"
Shengshang couldn't help but smile when he looked at the general who could still argue with him before.
"What long live, long live, in the barracks, there is no need to say these self-deceptive words!" After speaking, he stood up and walked to him and pulled up Gao Zhen.
"Gao Zhen, we haven't seen each other for several years, it doesn't seem to have changed anything, why, don't dare to fight with me anymore!"
"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare, the minister ......" Gao Zhen wanted to kneel down again.
"This is in front of the army, what do you kneel, you just treat me as a general, how can there be so many vulgar etiquette in front of the army."
Shengshang pulled Gao Zhen to sit down directly, "How is Yan Guogong, after talking about the situation, I will go to see him immediately." ”
"Your Majesty, the Jiming Post was suddenly attacked, and it was at night, which had never happened before, and the Zar people gave up their war horses and came over on foot, which is also the first time, so the Zar people are a little strange to go south this time."
"Your Majesty, Yan Guogong has been hit by a stray arrow, and his condition is very serious, and he has asked Lang Zhong to be treated in the mansion now."
"Someone, quickly send the imperial doctor to the front yard to treat Yan Guogong's injuries, go quickly, go quickly!"
This time, the Praetorian Guards escorted the Holy Expedition, and they really brought two imperial doctors who were very proficient in trauma, no way, the Saint's Expedition, no matter how difficult it was, someone had to follow, just in case.
When the saint followed Gao Zhen to Yan Guogong's room, the two imperial doctors were already treating Yan Guogong's injuries, and several famous doctors in Youzhou City were also accompanying him, but the expressions on their faces were not relaxed.
After a while, the two imperial doctors came to the saint, because they had told them when they came, they couldn't shout in front of people to reveal the identity of the saint, so the two imperial doctors simply bowed and quietly reported.
"Back to Your Majesty, this arrow on Yan Guogong's body is a little bit on the heart and lungs, although it is not directly fatal, but the wound has suppurated, and Weichen can only give it a bold try now."
"According to your ideas, don't be too scrupulous, even if, even if...... And forgive you for your innocence! ”
The saint knew that these two imperial doctors were regarded as the holy hands of trauma, and they had been treating the wounds of the soldiers in the border army for many years, and they were very experienced.
Gao Zhen asked the saint to go back to the room to rest several times, and it was not possible to treat the situation in a moment and a half, but the saint was anxious and unwilling to go back to the room.
Later, Gao Zhen could only discuss the current battle situation in Youzhou with the Shengshang, so that the Shengshang calmed down a little, followed Gao Zhen back to the room, and listened to Gao Zhen point to the map and analyze it carefully with him.
