Chapter 029: Fat Bait
On Wu Sui's side, Gu Bingzhang and Gu Jing took turns to fight, and the soldiers also went into battle in batches, no matter how Zhao Yao scolded in front of the battle, he just stuck to the battle.
Zhao Yao had no choice, so he casually stud and directly surrounded Wu Sui with three layers inside and three layers outside!
It was rare for Zhao Yao to stop for more than ten days, and just when the soldiers felt relaxed for a while, Gu Jing was surprised to find that Zhao Yao had built a high earth mountain in the south of the city, "It seems that the thief's heart is not dead, and he wants to attack Wu Sui condescendingly!" There are no doors! ”
So Gu Jing ordered to tie wood to the city tower, which is equivalent to increasing the height of the city entrance!
After working hard for more than ten days, he finally ended up in failure, and Zhao Yao really didn't feel good in his heart.
After the failure of the Tushan plan, Zhao Yao still only surrounded but did not fight, and Gu Jing couldn't figure out what bad ideas he was thinking.
At this time, a commander under his command suddenly said to himself: "Will he dig a tunnel and attack it?" ”
If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, Gu Jing immediately decided, whole!
Gu Jing ordered to dig a long hook not far from the city wall and outside the city wall, and even prepared gold juice for Zhao Yao in the outside hook!
And sent soldiers to guard it in turn, and it really gained a lot.
Some of the soldiers in Zhao Yao's army who dug tunnels became unlucky, digging and digging to the "moat" outside the city, and as soon as they arched their heads out of the pile of gold juice, they were immediately targeted by the soldiers on the city wall and shot in the dung pit.
I was a little luckier and dug into the city, and as soon as I got out of the tunnel, I was captured, and I was killed! Seeing that the sergeants only saw them go in but didn't come out, Zhao Yao felt how uncomfortable he was!
I had to think of something else.
Liang Yuzhou also found Zhao Jiuyuan's figure here.
Liang Yuzhou was finally able to see the legendary Ninth Division of the Cavalry Army personally formed by Zhao Jiuyuan!
The horses are all high-headed horses personally selected by Zhao Jiuyuan, and this horse is more than half higher than the horses in the Central Plains in terms of sprinting ability and endurance.
The soldiers are also carefully selected, whether it is height or combat skills, they are all first-class.
There are also specially configured weapons and equipment, so the military appearance presented in the end really made Liang Yuzhou's heart cold a lot, this gap is not ordinarily big, the so-called elite cavalry of Northern Liang is like a small witch in front of the Ninth Division!
At this time, someone around me reminded:
"There weren't enough people! King, there is a problem with this, the person who rode a tall horse and walked in the middle was Zhao Jiuyuan! But I counted, the people of the Ninth Division were about 10,000, and the rest were all ordinary cavalry, that is, Zhao Jiuyuan's main force was not here! ”
Liang Yuzhou was shocked, and hurriedly asked people to take out the map, "Where will his main force be?" If he comes out of the nest, what will his goal be? ”
"Could it be that they stayed in Taiyuan, these horses are more than enough to support Wu Sui!"
"Nope! No! Zhao Jiuyuan is a genius in soldiers, and he will not sit idly by and watch such a good opportunity be lost in vain! ”
"King, shall we fight or not? If you hesitate, you won't be able to fight. ”
Liang Yuzhou was so anxious that he had to hold back his temper and try to calm the irritability in his heart, and he explained to the sergeants:
"Wait for the news of the assassin, and then fight after figuring out the situation!"
No matter how anxious you are, you have to wait for the information of the assassin!
The hard work paid off, and the Assassin Hou rushed back in time, but the information of the Assassin Hou made him feel even more piercing:
Zhao Jiuyuan's other group of men and horses was found, there were about 20,000 horses in the Ninth Division of the Cavalry, and now they had passed through Taihang Mountain and gone to Luoyang!
Liang Yuzhou only felt a rapid tingling pain in his heart, and a stream of hot blood rushed straight to his head, and finally rushed out of his nose!
Luoyang!
Liang Yuzhou blamed himself frantically: "Why didn't I think of it? Luoyang, Zhao Jiuyuan, Zhao Jiuyuan, really deserves his reputation, and the use of soldiers can not be described as vicious! ”
The surrounding sergeants were all frightened by this sudden scene, and only after a moment did they ask in a panic:
"King, King! Are you okay! ”
"This king is fine, but this king can't stand you being so scared, and anyone who is okay will be scared to something!"
"Hahahaha, the king is fine!"
Liang Yuzhou came to his senses and immediately instructed:
"Command the battalions! Luoyang direction, ready to support! ”
Everyone cleaned up in an orderly manner, but it was ready in half an hour.
"Camp!"
With Liang Yuzhou's voice, the army was ready to set off in an orderly manner!
Liang Yuzhou suddenly came to the assassin just now, and asked, "You said before, how many people are coming to Luoyang?" ”
"King Qiqi, there are about 20,000 people in the Ninth Division, and the rest are less than 10,000."
"Are you sure you read that right?" Liang Yuzhou seemed to think of something and asked anxiously.
The Assassin Hou affirmed: "Back to the king's words, the villain may not be able to do anything else, but his eyes are first-class in the army, besides, the gap between the people of the Ninth Division and ordinary sergeants is too big, I can't be mistaken!" ”
Seeing that the army stopped, the leader in the middle of the team patted his horse and asked, "Lord Wang, what happened?" ”
"Stop! There is an urgent military situation, and the leaders of the various departments quickly come to converge, and there are important matters to discuss! ”
After the people were gathered, Liang Yuzhou got straight to the point and said his thoughts, not so much an idea, but a guess!
"Everyone! We have to settle an account first, Zhao Jiuyuan personally formed a total of more than 92,000 cavalry divisions, now 20,000 have gone to Luoyang, Zhao Jiuyuan himself brought 10,000, and the remaining 60,000 troops have disappeared for a long time, don't you feel a chill in your back? ”
"Maybe they are still staying in Taiyuan, after all, it is their hometown."
Liang Yuzhou asked rhetorically: "What if he gives up Taiyuan directly?" These 60,000 troops, as well as other miscellaneous troops, add up to 1120,000, no matter which battlefield they are thrown into, they can overwhelmingly turn the tide of the battle! ”
"If that's the case, then the Zhao Jiuyuan you saw just now? How dare he take the bait himself? This is too crazy, the more I think about it, the more impossible it becomes! ”
"I also think so, Taiyuan is their old nest, it is impossible not to keep it!"
"Now Luoyang is in danger, if I can't wait for the quick return of reinforcements, and wait until the Xiongnu army breaks through Luoyang, I'm afraid it will shake the foundation of the country!"
……
The generals kept talking word by word, Liang Yuzhou always felt that Zhao Jiuyuan had dug a huge pit for himself, just waiting for him to jump.
But those 20,000 people are indeed approaching Luoyang, and Luoyang is in danger!
Liang Yuzhou was determined to take a gamble.
He overrode the public opinion and said: "The city wall of Luoyang is extremely strong, the grain and grass in the city are enough to support more than a year, and the king of Rencheng is currently in Luoyang, and there are about 50,000 soldiers and horses that can be controlled in Luoyang, which is enough to hold on for a long time!" ”
Liang Yuzhou took out the map again, and then analyzed: "The most worrying thing is where the 60,000 people who disappeared will eventually appear. ”
His scabbard pointed to an unexpected place - Wu Sui!
Everyone showed expressions of disbelief, and Liang Yuzhou had to continue to explain: "Now, the biggest new force of my Liang is in Xuchang, Suiyang to Wusui, if it can be annihilated in one fell swoop, even if Taiyuan is lost, the entire Liang will be trampled by the iron cavalry!" ”
Some people thought it was incredible, "Even if there is such a possibility, but our army occupies the city separately, and no matter how fierce the Hun iron cavalry is, it will be in vain in front of the impregnable city!" ”
Liang Yuzhou reminded: "I need to remind you that these 60,000 people are by no means comparable to the ordinary Hun cavalry, according to the experience of previous battles with the Huns, the cavalry can be five for the infantry, the middle formation can be one for ten, and the large formation can be one for twenty!" Our army is fully supporting Wusui, if it is surrounded by cavalry again, I am afraid that the whole army will be in danger of annihilation! ”
"So what should we do?"
"The whole army stopped advancing and camped in secrecy on the spot, those 60,000 people will definitely appear, believe me!"
Having said that, I was still nervous inside.
