Chapter 21: Pawns in the Army
Liang Wu knew that Yun Shao was actually the son of the famous general Yunluo of the West Wind, and he was surprised in his heart, so he hurriedly carried Yun Feiyu down the city wall, and led Yun An all the way to Yun Feiyu's small courtyard in the Blue City, Chu Rou was practicing martial arts in the courtyard, and saw Yun Feiyu being carried in by Liang Wu, and was taken aback, thinking that Yun Feiyu was injured by someone else again, and was about to ask, but saw the housekeeper Yun An following with tears in his eyes, Chu Rou was suspicious in his heart, and hurriedly asked Yun An what happened in Jingzhong?
Yun An cried and told the story of Yun Luo's death, and Liang Wu also said: "Yun Shao, when he heard the news, he was so sad that he vomited blood and fainted, and the little brother carried him back." ”
With sadness in her heart, Chu Rou's eyes were full of tears, and she asked Liang Wu to carry Yun Feiyu into the bedroom and put her on the bed, seeing that Chu Rou was sad and uncontrollable, Yun An and Liang Wu didn't know how to persuade them, so they had to silently withdraw from the bedroom, return to the living room and wait for Yun Feiyu to wake up, Chu Rou sat on the edge of the bed and took care of Yun Feiyu.
As if waking up from a nightmare, Yun Feiyu struggled to open his eyes, and saw Chu Rou sitting beside him with tears in his eyes, Yun Feiyu hissed and asked, "Rou'er, Yun An didn't come to Blue City, did I? I was having a nightmare just now, right?"
It was difficult to stop her grief, Chu Rou cried loudly, and sobbed: "Fei Yu, Daddy, he really died in Luoyun Lake, if you have a lot of pain in your heart, can you cry out?"
Looking at the gauze tent on the top of the bed in a daze, Yun Feiyu's tears kept falling, seeing Yun Feiyu crying silently, Chu Rou was even more sad in her heart, bent over and hugged Yun Feiyu in her arms, the two hugged each other and cried, the housekeeper Yun An walked to the door of the bedroom, wanting to see if Yun Feiyu woke up, seeing this scene, Yun Anxin cried sourly, and retreated silently.
On March 21, Chu Rou returned to Beijing with the housekeeper Yun An to mourn, but Yun Feiyu did not go back together, if Yun Feiyu was in this situation, although he was a prisoner, he could also ask for leave to return to Beijing to handle the funeral, but Yun Feiyu had the intention of avenging his father, and was determined to resist the enemy in the army.
On 29 March, Yun Feiyu went north with the reorganized Southern Army, and when Yun Feiyu's front army in Beijun was ordered to support Gaocheng, a fierce battle broke out with the grassland coalition army, and the result was that the grassland coalition army suffered no more than 300 casualties, but in exchange for the achievement of destroying 3,000 enemies! Among them, the forward battalion where Yun Feiyu belonged suffered the heaviest losses on the west side! The forward battalion is a special existence in the west wind military system, because the criminals in the forward battalion have all committed serious crimes and joined the army, and if they want to eliminate their crimes, they only need to stay in the forward battalion for three years! If there is no war in the west wind, then staying in the forward battalion for three years is nothing, but once the war breaks out, the soldiers of the forward battalion must rush to the front every time they fight in the battle formation, and they must stay at the end to make a shield for the Chinese army when they retreat, in short, the most dangerous in the battle formation, the duty with the lowest survival rate is completed by the forward battalion, and the forward battalion is to send the battalion to death in other words! If the war is frequent, let alone three years in the forward battalion, even if it is a miracle to survive in three months!
Standing on the wall of Gaocheng, with his back to the Changge used by the soldiers of the forward battalion, Yun Feiyu untied the armor covered in blood, in today's battle, the three thousand of the forward battalion lost 2,000 people, if it were not for Yun Feiyu's martial arts since childhood, I am afraid that it would also be lost under the Gaocheng City! Although the grassland coalition army is not good at attacking the city, but the horse is fast and the knife is sharp, and the charge is invincible, the west wind 20,000 soldiers support the besieged Gaocheng, and the loss of 3,000 people just by breaking through the grassland cavalry formation, and 2,000 of them are the soldiers of the forward battalion where Yun Feiyu is located!
The vicious battle just now made the surviving soldiers of the West Wind Forward Battalion tremble, and many people were secretly glad that they were still alive! Yun Feiyu was speechless at the head of the city, quietly looking at the grassland cavalry galloping back and forth under the city, and Che Qi, who was also a prisoner next to him, had his own armor on his shoulder, patted Yun Feiyu's shoulder with his right hand, and said in a proud voice: "Little brother, since you have entered Gaocheng, it will be safe, why do you still look at that ghost guy's brute horse?"
Yun Feiyu looked back and saw that the other party was burly, handsome, and a typical westerly man, and smiled faintly: "It's okay to see what is the difference between the grassland people and us, you are also from the forward battalion?
Che Qi laughed and said: "I fought with a few splashers, killed one by mistake, and sent some money to the yamen, and sentenced him to confiscate the army!
"Oh! I also killed a scoundrel by mistake, my name is Yun Feiyu, I don't know you?"
"Che Qi! Our brothers are destined! They all came here because of the killing, and these barbarian horsemen under the city don't attack the city, just hanging here, it's annoying to watch!"
Yun Feiyu looked at the grassland spirit cavalry under the city, groaned, and seemed to explain to Che Qi as if talking to himself: "Although the grassland spirit cavalry is invincible in the wilderness, but to let them attack the city, there is no large-scale siege equipment, I am afraid that if the city cannot be attacked, it will only suffer heavy losses in vain!"
Seeing Yun Feiyu's rare young age, Che Qi became interested in his heart and asked, "Brother Yun, since they can't capture Gaocheng, what are they still dangling down there?"
With a faint smile, Yun Feiyu said eloquently: "In the art of war, there is also a saying that besieges but does not attack, and encircles and sends reinforcements, just like today, we came from Yongcheng in Beijun to support Gaocheng, don't we let them play their strengths?
Che Qi is also a person who understands warfare, and after listening to Yun Feiyu's talk, he suddenly opened his mouth and sighed: "I can't imagine that Brother Yun is also proficient in combat techniques, so why don't you propose to the above?"
Yun Feiyu looked at Che Qi with a strange look, and said loudly: "Brother Che, this is just my opinion, brothers, marshals have their own ideas, besides, Brother Che, you don't know, can our forward battalion propose? We only have a law enforcement team above, and it is difficult to meet a general with the rank of battalion captain on weekdays!"
Che Qi thought about it, the top of the forward battalion is the law enforcement team, they are all arrogant on weekdays, they don't look at the forward battalion in their eyes, and the proposal of the ordinary soldiers of the forward battalion is a joke in their eyes! The task of the law enforcement team is only to strictly suppress the forward battalion! When it comes to wartime, the law enforcement team stands in the back with sharp bows in hand, and if the soldiers of the forward battalion are timid and retreat, they will be shot mercilessly!
With a long laugh, Che Qi said: "Since they besiege but not attack, then our Gaocheng is also safe, Brother Yun, go down to the city to rest! Those big things should be handed over to the headache above!" Yun Feiyu smiled faintly, no longer spoken, and learned from Che Qi to put on his armor, picked up Changge and walked down the city, and went back to the camp to sleep!
Zhu Lian, the commander of the southern army in the north, is Zhu Long's cousin, that is, the cousin of Zhu Gan, the current Shengwu Emperor, Zhu Lian has been a good soldier since he was a child, familiar with military books, and now he is ordered to lead the army as a prince, Zhu Lian not only did not have the slightest pride, but was worried all day long, and he couldn't wait to stare at the map of Beijun for twelve hours a day, which was a huge gap opened by the grassland coalition army, from Beijun, the grassland coalition army can invade Fen County and Qi County to the west, or it can invade Youjun and Dongjun to the east, or the grassland coalition army can go south across Beijun and point to KyotoZhu Lian kept asking Tanma to report the latest movements of the grassland army, just to know the direction of the grassland coalition army's next attack, so that he could also do a good job of dealing with defense, but the grassland coalition army entered the northern county, and began to besiege the city everywhere, invading the township but did not send troops to the east, south, and west, which made Zhu Lian very confused, he couldn't figure out what the grassland coalition army wanted to do! Zhu Lian had to send the northern county to the front line of Kyoto to strictly defend, which is why he sent troops to support Gaocheng, because Gaocheng is the first big city from the north county to the first line of Kyoto!
Zhu Lian naturally didn't know that at the beginning, the grassland coalition army was a little chaotic, although under the leadership of the Heavenly Master Zherui, the four clans joined forces to invade the south, but when they captured Gale City, the vast west wind land appeared in front of them, but the four clans had a contradiction again, the Kuer tribe was ambitious, and the Kuer Lie advocated all the way to the south to fight the west wind Kyoto! The three major clans believed that if they went all the way to the south, there would be many fortified cities and dangerous places along the way, and the grassland elite cavalry was not good at attacking the city, so they were afraid that they would suffer heavy losses! Dongjun is a thousand miles of plains, the land is fertile, it is the main grain producing land of the west wind, where the people live a relatively rich life, the three major tribes do not want to hurt their own forces, they just want to plunder in the territory of the west wind!
The four clans were divided into two factions and each insisted on their own opinions, so that Heavenly Master Zherui was powerless to adjust, and finally Duan Fang Mu secretly persuaded Hu Lie to say: " The clan lord has not yet unified the grassland, at this time to destroy the west wind is afraid that the force will not be caught, this invasion of the west wind is just to make it difficult for the three tribes and the west wind to get together, and when the three tribes plunder the wealth and plunder the people return to the grassland, it is also the time for the clan lord to unify the grassland, and then unify the grassland, and then let the plundered craftsmen build more siege equipment, and then send troops south, as soon as the order comes out, no one will obey, up and down as one, and there are siege weapons in hand, and the west wind is also a snap of his fingers!"
After all, Hu Yilie has the talent of the hero, and he had an epiphany at the moment, and no longer focused on attacking the west wind Kyoto, but discussed with the three tribes, adopted the strategy of Duan Fang Mu, sent troops to besiege the city everywhere, and made the illusion of attacking the west wind Kyoto in the south, but actually besieged but not attacked, just attacked and killed all kinds of reinforcements, and when the west wind domestic army was mobilized, the four tribes united and quickly went east to rob the west wind!
On April 1, 570 Tianyuan, Zhu Lian, the king of Chang, made a judgment according to the siege of the city by the army and the grassland coalition army, and the grassland coalition army intended to attack Kyoto in the south, in order to ensure that Kyoto was not lost, the southern army was divided into the key places on the first line of Kyoto in the northern county, Zhu Lian ordered each city to strictly defend its own city, and not to send troops to support other places without a commander's order, which was to deal with the siege of the grassland coalition army to send reinforcements, but when the guards praised the wisdom of Changwang Zhu Lian on the table, the grassland coalition army took advantage of the night when the army moved quickly eastward, leaving only 20,000 troops to make a false impression of besieging all parts of the northern county, and more than 200,000 elite horsemen marched horizontally to the east and invaded the west wind and Youjun, two places in the East County!
The first to see through the grassland suspicious soldiers' plan was a small soldier in the forward battalion in Gaocheng - Yun Feiyu!
