Under Yunyang's persuasion, Nangong Ye also gradually avoided Liu Mingzhi's private mobilization of soldiers from the Anxi Protectorate.
As for the three Yunchong brothers, they were even more experienced. After making a few eye contact, they tacitly changed the subject.
After all, Yunchong was Liu Mingzhi's uncle, and his personal feelings for Young Master Liu were far greater than the others. After understanding what his old man meant, Yun Chong cleared his throat.
"Nangong Shuai, Marshal, let's discuss how to get out of the city to meet the enemy first. We must think of a safer way. At least we must hold on until reinforcements arrive."
Yunyang walked towards the map: "I'll tell you what I mean. First, let me tell you how many troops and horses we can contact now."
Yun Chong walked over and said without thinking: "A few days ago, the Flying Eagle Guards have stationed in Yunzhou to help defend the city. Now the only ones left to contain the Turkic cavalry in the wild are the Polu and Futu guards under the command of Marshal Liu Mingzhi in the middle."
"As for how many we can still contact, I can't guarantee it now. The Turkic soldiers launched a feint attack on our hinterland in several directions. General Duan Buren and General Zhou Baoyu just in case the Turks launched a feint attack on the people in my hinterland.
In order to carry out the massacre, I have already led my troops to mediate with the Turks in the wild!"
Yunyang scanned the map in front of him and looked at Yun Chong with worried eyes: "How is the battle going? Can you contact them now? If you can contact them, ask them to quickly join forces and return to Yingzhou to support the troops from Ganzhou and Suzhou.
As soon as the horses arrive, we will take advantage of the favorable location and go out of the city to fight the Turks."
Yun Chong picked up a thick stack of notes from the table nearby and handed them to several people's hands.
"Contacting Zhou Baoyu, the possibility of Duan not being able to bear the two generals is extremely slim."
"The hinterland behind Yunzhou is vast, and the Turks' offensives are ever-changing. In addition, there are many soldiers and generals. According to the scout's report, the two soldiers and horses have now been divided against the Turks and are fighting on their own."
"It is still unclear where exactly the Polu, the Pagoda and the Turks are. The continuous investigation of three hundred scouts will not be of much use. The cavalry and infantry are here and there. By the time we receive the intelligence, they have already
I don’t know which state capital or county we traveled to!”
Yunyang frowned and looked at the information in his hand: "The last time was the day before yesterday. Duan Canren's tribe encountered the Turks around Tianshui County. It has been two days. It's hard to say where they have gone. They are everywhere in the east, west, north and south.
Maybe, in this case, even if the scouts run their horses to death, they won't be able to contact them."
Nangong Ye returned the note: "Golden eagle, eagle, falcon, and flying pigeon can't reach me even if they send messages?"
Yun Chong sighed and nodded: "They were beaten to pieces and have no fixed place to live. Our golden eagles, falcons, and flying pigeons have long lost recognition of them. Apart from scouts, it is unlikely that we can contact them by any other means."
possible."
"Their two guards have 100,000 soldiers and horses. Facing the pursuit and interception of 200,000 Turkic cavalry, the situation is probably not ideal."
"Although they are well-equipped and bring a new type of firearms, the Turks have a natural advantage in field warfare, and their strength is twice that of theirs. We don't know how many brothers have been injured or killed now."
Yunyang pondered for a while and knocked on the table.
"Send 300 more elite scouts and spread out to search for the two guards in the middle."
"The falcon sent a message to all the governors in Yunzhou, Ganzhou, and Fuzhou. Once they find the two soldiers and horses, they will immediately send the message to us. This way, we will not be like blind men looking for their location aimlessly.
.”
"Although we have a lot of troops now, we don't have many cavalry. If we want to go out of the city and fight the Turks, we need the support of their cavalry on the left and right sides. We have to contact them no matter what, and let them return to Yunzhou immediately to join forces.
.”
"Tell them not to quarrel with the Turks any longer. Pretending to attack my hinterland is just a trick by the Turks to lure the enemy. Don't be fooled!"
"Got the order!"
"Yun Chong!"
"The end is here!"
"Is the order to strengthen the walls and clear the country passed on? Just in case, let the people endure the pain after receiving enough food, and destroy all the remaining food. It must not be left to the Turks."
"The order has been issued for half a month, and the specific situation is still unclear. We are too busy being dragged down by the Turks' offensive and have no time to take into account the current situation in the hinterland."
"Let's go back to the king's order to fortify the walls and clear the country. Now that the brothers from Ganzhou and Suzhou have come to help, the pressure on us will be much less. We must not let the Turks take advantage of the people and then attack in turn.
we."
"Got the order!"
In Baochuan County, Yunzhou, two groups of cavalry were fighting one after another.
Duan couldn't bear to lead the 6,000 brothers who were now following him to attack and kill a group of Turkic tribesmen whose strength was three times greater than his own and were temporarily recuperating in the wilds of Baochuan County.
After succeeding in the attack, Duan could not resist the fight and immediately led his brothers to retreat, giving full play to the essence of guerrilla warfare.
From time to time, Duan looked back at the Turkic cavalry who were chasing after him. Duan couldn't help laughing and made an insulting gesture to the Turks behind him.
"Grandsons, come with grandpa quickly. Grandpa has something here for you to try."
Listening to the words of the general, the more than 6,000 pagoda troops seemed to think that the more than 10,000 pursuers behind them did not exist. They waved their weapons and laughed and howled like wild wolves. They had some riding skills and excellent archery skills.
The soldiers even deliberately slowed down to fire an arrow at the pursuers behind them.
"Feng An, have you contacted the other four brothers?"
"Back to the General, our Golden Eagle has long since lost track of our location. Not only the other four brothers can't be contacted, but even the brothers from the Polu Army can't be contacted. They're all scattered."
"It's been almost twenty days, and our golden eagle who sent a letter to the commander hasn't come back yet. He should have been unable to find our location for a long time."
"Continue to harass, and we must not let them get close to the people. The food and grass we just snatched from the Turks will be enough for us to last for seven or eight days."
"Damn it, the Turks just enjoy it better than us. I am so envious that my mouth is watering. When we eat dried pancakes, they are all fragrant dried meat."
"I really don't know when we will be able to be extravagant and use dried meat as military rations every day. Or will we have a better life when we went to the west with the commander-in-chief? At least we can have a meal of meat for a few days. Now don't mention it, just have a meal.
You have to dream about everything you do."
Feng An happily took out a piece of dried meat from his arms and stuffed it into his mouth and started chewing it.
"It's delicious, it's really delicious. If the troops weren't short, I would have snatched all their food and grass."
Duan couldn't help but swallowed his saliva subconsciously: "You should save your fucking money. These are real dried meats. Don't think about me sharing them with you after you eat them all. I plan to use these dried meats for more than seven days."
Mediating with the Turks!"
"My humble position has a small appetite. One meal lasts for three days. I'll be lucky if you don't take my humble position when the time comes, General."
"Report! Report to the General, urgent military information!"
Duan couldn't help teasing his subordinates without any pressure in the face of his pursuers. When he saw the scouts who were turning around to join forces from the side, he stopped laughing and his face became serious.
"speak!"
The scout quickly drove alongside Duan Can'er.
"General, there are more than 100,000 people on the official road less than five miles ahead. They are rushing towards Kezhou Mansion in large and small bags. It seems that they should be heading to Kezhou Mansion to avoid the war."
"We still know exactly where the people are!"
Duan couldn't help but his face changed with shock, and he subconsciously looked forward.
"It's been half a month since the order to strengthen the walls and clear the country was issued. Why are there still people wandering around in the wild?"
"I don't know about my humble position, but it's probably because I wasted the opportunity to harvest summer grain."
