Chapter 674: Unbearable (Part II)
Huang He Danduotai returned to his garrison and immediately gathered his cronies, apparently with urgent matters to discuss......
"How is it, are the infantry cavalry of the three armies in Beicheng ready?" Huang Hedan asked directly to the subject.
The cronies replied: "General Hui, everything is ready, and you can send troops at any time tonight!"
It seems that what Huanghe Dan is eager to discuss is the strategic deployment of tonight's sneak attack on Qin Yu, and he has received an order to mobilize elite armaments from Deyin Timur, and it seems that Huanghe Danduotai is going to do a big job tonight.
Huang Hedan took Timur's edict, and then said: "This is the edict of Lord Timur, you lead your brothers to the arsenal to replenish armaments, tonight's night attack must be foolproof!"
"Yes, General—" When the soldier received the order, he turned and ran towards the arsenal.
Not only the soldiers who had just ordered, but also the troops personally led by the Huanghe Danduotai in the northern part of the city, knowing the plan for tonight's night attack, everyone became ready to go--the soldiers and soldiers in the city were constantly alternating, and while transporting armaments up and down, they began to deploy the army out of the city......
Just as Huanghe Danduotai was watching the transfer of his subordinates with satisfaction, a person suddenly came from behind him, staring at him closely. Huang Hedan seemed to know who was coming, and he didn't show too much surprise. He turned around slowly, with a flirtatious smile on his face, and the person behind him was actually another general of the Wing Gate who was in the same position as him, the Ulu Wutai beggar.
"Yo, what kind of idle time does the Ulu Utai general have, not defending the enemy himself and obeying orders to strengthen his armaments, but coming to me to enjoy the scenery?" Huang Hedan was not afraid that the Ulu Utai would know about his secret operations, and said with a chuckle.
Idea. The Ulu Wutai had a more serious expression, watching the back and forth of the defenders of the northern city and the replenishment of armaments. Ulu Wutai couldn't help but ask, "General Huang Hedan, you suddenly asked Lord Tayin Timur for instructions to replenish the armament. for...... I'm afraid it's not just about strengthening the guards at the north gate......"
"What do you say?" asked Huang Hedan with a disdainful expression.
Wulu Wutai seemed to have already known Huang Hedan's thoughts, and his eyes condensed and said, "Could it be that you are going to go out of the city and lead the troops to attack tonight?"
"That's right-" Huang Hedan did not shy away at all, and did not hide it at all in front of the Ulu Wutai, "Tonight, General Ben will lead his troops to attack Qin Yu and kill him by surprise!"
"Are you crazy?" Hearing this, the Ulu Wutai immediately said nervously, "You led your troops out of the city to attack without any advice from Lord Timur. If Lord Timur had known, wouldn't you ......"
"What are you afraid of? Lord Timur's clear military order is to let me command the troops in the north of the city, and all rights belong to me, and there is no military order that prohibits our army from taking the initiative to go out of the city to meet the attack......" Huang He Danduotai smiled and continued, "Moreover, tonight I went out of the city to sneak attack, saying that I would kill Qin Yu by surprise." You don't have to really catch them all......"
"And what do you mean?" asked the Ulu-Utai continued.
Huang Hedan continued, "I mean...... I can't stand the days of eating bran pickles every day - that Qin Yu is too hateful, not only does he not lead his troops to attack the city, but he also 'embroiders his legs' and eats a lot in front of us and others...... Today I will take advantage of the unpreparedness and attack the enemy camp with iron horses. Even if he can't kill him, he has to take away his food, grass and food, which can not only teach Qin Yu'er a lesson in his arrogance. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds if it could supplement our army's military quarters?"
The Ulu Utai seemed to understand. Nodding slightly, he said, "I understand, capturing the enemy's quartermaster is your goal......"
"Only now do you know?" Huang Hedan was not good at breathing. "Hmph, you should also know what kind of life we have been in the city these days - our army has elite iron cavalry troops, but they are not well fed and clothed, and after a few days, the morale of the army has been greatly weakened...... If this sneak attack can succeed in seizing its military supplies, it will not only replenish the armament, but also boost the morale of the army -- all I do is to inspire the sergeants, so why not?"
Ulu Wutai agreed with Huang Hedan's idea, but he still had lingering palpitations, and continued to remind: "But you should also know what Tayin Timur and General Onjira meant...... Their proposition is obviously to hold on to the city, and hold on to waiting for reinforcements and food and grass from the capital......"
When Huang Hedan heard this, he quickly looked displeased, as if he looked down on the Ulu Wutai and said: "Hmph, Lord Timur won't say it, that Weng Ji Rahob, are you really willing to obey his actions? Yes, he is one level higher than us in the army, but in terms of his ability to lead troops and his military exploits, which point is he superior to us?" Every time we fight, it is the two of us who go to the front, and that Weng Jira will only hide behind and point fingers; if we don't do well, he will unceremoniously accuse us, and once he has military achievements, he will all belong to him; this time against Qin Yu'er, he will only be timid and defend the city and dare not fight...... General Ulu Wutai, if you really have the guts, do it with me, the two of us join forces, and it will be more certain to sneak attack the enemy camp tonight - if you are a man, show some courage and let that rat man take a good look!"
It seems that Huang He Danda disagrees with Weng Jira from the bottom of his heart, and even resents him for a long time, and this time he does not agree with Weng Jira's proposition. Tonight's sneak attack was indeed Huang Hedan's personal move, and he didn't care about whether Weng Jira would stop his action or not.
Huang Hedan also "invited" Ulu Wutai to participate in tonight's operation with him, but Ulu Wutai was a little hesitant on the side.
Huang Hedan continued to pull the momentum and said: "General Wulu Wutai, as long as you can gather troops tonight, we will join forces on both wings and attack Qin Yu's camp secretly, not to mention seizing the enemy's military supplies, maybe we can take Qin Yu'er's head while it is chaotic......"
Wulu Wutai hesitated for a long time, and felt that this matter was too risky, so he shook his head and said: "No, this matter is too reckless, although Qin Yu has behaved disgracefully in the past two days, but the courage of the commander is still there, and he will lead the troops to attack tonight, I'm afraid it will not be so easy to succeed......"
When Huang Hedan heard this, he said unhappily: "Hmph, I didn't expect you to be a coward and didn't dare to take the initiative to send troops......
Unmoved by his emotions, Ulu Wutai continued to remind: "Although Qin Yu's behavior last night was too 'presumptuous', it cannot be ruled out that they deliberately lured us and disturbed our army's morale...... If there is a surprise attack tonight, Qin Yu is secretly well guarded, and the sneak attack will not succeed. There may also be a danger of being ambushed......"
Huang Hedan smiled lightly and continued, "Don't worry. I sent spies to check last night, and last night all the soldiers in Qin Yu's camp ate and enjoyed happiness. The guards in the camp were slack...... They are eating in the stove, that is, when their garrison is the most lax, as long as I smell the smell of meat tonight, I will lead the troops to attack, and I will definitely be able to kill him in a panic and flee!"
"But this is still ......" Ulu Wutai was still not at ease and wanted to continue to stop him.
"Okay, that's it!" Huang Hedan made up his mind, and without waiting for Ulu Wutai to finish speaking, he stepped up. "If you don't dare to go, just stay in the city, and see how I succeeded in a sneak attack with my troops--when the time comes, you will reap the benefits and return victorious, and you don't want to get a penny from me! Hmph-"
After speaking, Huang Hedan turned around and left without looking back, and continued to deploy the armaments of his subordinates. The remaining Ulu Wutai stood in a daze for a long time, and the hesitation and confusion in his heart did not go for a long time......
Night ......
Today's Qin Yu's troops were the same as yesterday, training the ambush formation for a day, and the officers and men in the army were tired. However, the soldiers did not complain of being tired, but looked extremely happy. Because tonight's meal is still the same as last night, there is beef in the pot. If it is said that under Qin Yu's command, there is such a good meal every day, and there is no need to go out to fight and suffer casualties. Even if it is such a tiring training every day, they are willing......
On the other hand, the sergeants of Timur in Jinan City were unbearable on an empty stomach and became more and more difficult day by day. The grain and grass in the city were almost bottoming out, and the reinforcements sent by the imperial court were no longer delivered. I am afraid that the morale of the army will collapse. It is said that there were already soldiers in the city who had a dispute over food and grass, and the soldiers saw that there was gradually infighting. Don't wait for Qin Yu to send troops to attack the city, Jinan will collapse on its own......
However, Timur was still able to command the army well, and did his best to keep the whole army united and stick to the city. Although Qin Yu did not intend to attack for three days, Timur still did not dare to relax in any way, and tried his best to order his soldiers to be strictly guarded......
The sky was finally dark, and the smell of meat once again came from the direction of Qin Yu's camp......
On the ...... and ...... Jinan, from time to time there were Mengyuan soldiers salivating -- they were hungry and could only eat a small amount of bran pickles every day, and now they smelled the smell of meat twice in a row, not to mention that the army's heart was shaken, these soldiers even forgot their military duties, forgot their identity, and just wanted to find a place to eat something good by all means to fill the hunger they had been hungry for so many days......
"Cheer me up!-" At the critical moment, Timur stood in front of the city and scolded him, slightly waking up the depressed defenders of the city. As the main general, although Timur also suffers from hunger, he is the most determined, and he sees Qin Yu's "disturbance tricks", and he is even more resolute and unyielding, firmly believing that he will not fall into Qin Yu's trap.
Ongirat Hob had been following Takarinti around him today, and when he smelled the smell of meat, Onjira himself could not bear it. In order to cheer up, he took the initiative to get to Timur's side and said: "My lord, this Qin Yu is really hateful, he actually used such a villain's trick twice-"
Timur calmed down a little, and said with a serious expression: "Deep in military affairs, we must not be disturbed by the outside world! Qin Yu wants this plan to shake the morale of our army, and we must adhere to self-discipline even more -- the food and grass of the imperial court reinforcements will soon arrive, and if we are facing a great enemy, we must unite to hold on, and we must not relax at any time!"
"Yes, my lord—" replied Ongira.
It can be said that the smell of meat is continuous, and the soldiers defending the city even began to have some disillusionments, if it were not for the fact that Timur himself was here in charge, I am afraid that these soldiers would have been unbearable and hungry, and abandoned their armor to open the city and surrender......
"My lord, the north gate of the city has been opened—" At this moment, an urgent report came from the north of the city.
"What?" When Timur heard the news, his face suddenly became nervous, because now is a critical period to defend against the enemy, and once there is a slight problem in the garrison of the city, it is very likely to affect the situation of the battle, so Timur continued to ask urgently, "What the hell is going on, say it quickly-"
The soldier who delivered the message hurriedly said: "My lord, it seems to be General Huang Hedan - tonight General Huang Hedan led his troops from the direction of the north gate!"
"Send troops?" Weng Jira asked, worried, "Do you want to ...... General Huang Hedan can't stand the hunger and lead his troops to the enemy in Kaesong, right?"
Deyin Timur tried to calm down, and looked in the direction outside the city - only to see the sound of horses' hooves rolling in the direction of the north gate, and not long after, on the side of the city wall, countless firelights were clustered in columns, and the elite foot of the Huanghe Danduotai rode at a gallop, and the direction was towards Qin Yu's camp two miles away not far from the opposite side.
"This guy really wants to join the enemy......" Weng Jira said angrily, slamming his fist on the wall.
"No-" Tayin Timur looked at the movement of the Huanghedan troops, and immediately refused, "The troops are so neat and orderly, and the speed of advance is not slow, it is not like a surrender formation, but a formation with troops to charge......"
"What do you mean...... sir," Weng Jira asked.
Dean Timur affirmed: "Yes, General Huang Hedan is going to lead a surprise attack-"
When Weng Jira heard this, he punched the bluestone fence again, gritted his teeth and said: "Hey, this Huanghe Danduotai just can't hold his breath - now the garrison in the city is already unstable, and at this time he also led the troops to take the initiative to attack, in case he encountered an ambush by the enemy and lost the elite infantry cavalry, our army's morale was almost collapsed, and the loss would be irreparable...... My lord, the last general asks for his life, and he is willing to lead his troops out of the city to stop General Huang Hedan back, and it is still too late to send troops!" Immediately after, Weng Ji Rahob asked for his own troops to intercept Huang Hedan's assault.
However, Tayin Timur unexpectedly made a gesture of stopping, and then said: "No, the armament in the city is already like this, and once the attack is ambushed again, the consequences will be even more unimaginable - Qin Yu led the army of 20,000 people, I think General Huang Hedan will not understand the truth of hitting a stone with an egg...... But he took the initiative to attack with his troops tonight, I think, he should just sneak attack so that the enemy was caught off guard, and he will not go to die...... "Timur really thought about it, and he still trusted Huang Hedan so much at this time." But Tayin Timur was really right, one of the purposes of Huanghe Dandotai's troops tonight was indeed so.
"My lord, this is not child's play, General Huang Hedan couldn't hold his breath, and led his troops to attack Qin Yu, in case something went wrong......" Weng Jira still said uneasily.
"Now we can only take one step at a time, we can't mess up our own positions......" Timur tried to calm himself in the chaos, and continued, "You go and call General Ulu Wutai and ask him to lead his troops to assemble at the gate of the city, and if anything happens, we will meet General Huang Hedan at any time - the more critical the moment, the more united we must be, and we must not be suspicious and slanderous because of temporary ambiguity and uncalmness, we must be united!"
It seems that Timur does have the style of a general, and in such a chaotic situation, he can still calmly unite the soldiers. Weng Jira also heard the meaning of Timur, and after receiving the order, he immediately turned around and informed the general of the Ulu Wutai beggar in the direction of Yicheng......
Under the Castle Pass......
"Knock knock" The sound of horses' hooves moving like thunder at night is majestic and sudden, overwhelming mountains and seas, and thousands of miles are like rainbows.
"The whole army has an order, raid the enemy camp!" Seeing that it was only a stone's throw away from Qin Yu's camp tent, he was at the forefront of the Danduotai galloping horse formation, and the Miao knife came out of the sky, and he shouted and ordered.
"Kill-" Immediately, the shouts of killing in the formation shook the sky, and more than 2,000 elite iron horsemen galloped down like a storm, and the momentum was unstoppable, as if the enemy's position would be submerged like a flood in the next moment......
At this moment, the soldiers under Qin Yu's camp were still enjoying the atmosphere of returning home for dinner, and they seemed to be really caught off guard by the sudden sneak attack of the enemy......
"Report-" At Qin Yu's camp tent, all the officers and soldiers were recuperating in the camp in order to recover from the fatigue of a day's training, but there was an urgent report of military intelligence outside the tent.
Qin Yu sat in front of the camp, didn't seem to be nervous at all, and asked calmly, "What's wrong, what's going on outside?"
"Thousands of enemy cavalry are attacking our camp, and they will arrive at the camp gate immediately!" The enemy army is approaching, and the soldiers are also extremely anxious and nervous...... (To be continued.) )
