Zhe Ziyu was also angry, but she did not say these words. She raised her chin slightly, looked out of the tent arrogantly, and said lightly: "If the earthen jar is not broken outside the well, the general will inevitably die before the battle. Since he walked here To find the right path, you must naturally have the awareness to put life and death at risk."
"You!" Tang Yanyan glared at her with burning eyes.
Zhe Ziyu turned a blind eye and said: "If I am wrong..., it doesn't matter. Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. How can there be an undefeated general in the world? As long as we don't fall into the trap and keep the green hills, we can still survive." Are you afraid of running out of firewood?”
Tang Yanyan stood up suddenly and nodded with a sneer: "Zhe Ziyu, you are so vicious-hearted. I didn't expect that you are such a retaliatory, snake-hearted, and greedy woman. Zhe Ziyu, you have to be careful and use all your tricks. The time has come for heaven to bring justice, and retribution will not be forthcoming, so that a vicious and shameless woman like you will have to die..."
Hearing her scolding, Zhe Yuxun immediately changed his expression. Dong'er hurriedly stopped Tang Yanyan, clasped his fists at Zhe Yuxun and said: "Commander Zhe is concerned about the safe way. A soldier must not be careless with his deadly weapon. If you change Luo Dong'er, if allies or generals under his command fall into these treacherous predicaments, Dong'er also has to think twice. The people who are in trouble now are my officials, care will lead to chaos, Dong'er is indeed a little reckless. So, please give me some advice. Always pay attention to the battle situation, and as soon as you have accurate information about Li Guangrui, if you can send troops to help, please ask the general..."
Zhe Yuxun rushed to say: "Mrs. Yang, don't worry, I am looking around for information about Li Guangrui. As soon as I have accurate information, I will rescue my third brother."
"Thank you so much, Commander Zhe. With that, Dong'er takes his leave."
Luo Dong'er grabbed Tang Yanyan's arm and turned away. Zhe Yuxun had no time to send him off. He got out of the tent, got on his horse, and only when Zhe Yuxun's army was galloping out did Luo Dong'er rein in him violently. Standing on the war horse, Tang Yanyan couldn't help but said: Sister, the people of his family refused to save him. We can't just sit back and watch the officials be trapped. Li Yide's army is stationed on the side, and there are still 6,000 soldiers and horses. Let's take them with us. Kill it."
Luo Dong'er silently shook his head: "The officials don't know how many troops are left. If we, six thousand people, want to rescue him, we are just feeding the tiger with meat, and we may not be able to break through the enemy's defense line."
Tang Yanyan was trembling with excitement: "Sister, then... we just sit back and watch the entire army being wiped out?"
Luo Dong'er gritted his teeth and was silent for a long time, then said: "Wuding Hebei, now only Li Jiyun's troops are being suppressed by General Yang Chongxun at the foot of Luotuoling. Yinzhou is safe. Yanyan, we in Yinzhou City have made preparations to abandon the city and break out. There are still 7,000 war horses left in the army. We will go back immediately, mobilize 5,000 people, leave 2,000 soldiers, and then ask the baby to gather the young men who have been sent home to help defend the city. You and I will take those Five thousand men and horses join forces with Li Yide's men. We can break through the enemy army and rescue the officials on our own."
She held the horse's reins for a half circle, looked into the distance, and said quietly: "As for Miss Zhe's concerns, they are not unreasonable, but...how can I just sit back and watch the officials die? If I want to confirm where Li Guangrui's main force is, Then use me as bait to lure him out. The worst case scenario is that he will end up with the officials!"
Inside the tent, Zhe Ziyu kept staring straight ahead. As soon as Luo Donger and Tang Yanyan left, the calmness Zhe Ziyu tried to maintain disappeared. She bit her lips tightly, her eyes gradually turned red, and her cheeks were as pale as snow. , there was blood in her eyes, and her delicate body could not help but tremble. Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhe Yuxun jumped over, stretched out his palm to slap her on the back, and shouted: "Ziyu, wake up."
Zhe Ziyu was shocked suddenly and woke up. She felt a sweetness in her throat, her eyes were dark, and her legs were shaking suddenly. Zhe Yuxun quickly helped her sit down on a chair and poured her a glass of water. Zhe Ziyu shook his head, only to
My hands and feet feel cold.
They had found the whereabouts of Yang Hao, but at the same time, the news from "Suifeng" had to make them more vigilant. While Zhe Ziyu was worried about the life and death of his sweetheart, he used great perseverance to restrain himself.
He didn't let his emotions control his reason, but he ended up being scolded so badly by Tang Yanyan.
She could see that although Dong'er was reticent, she had a hidden temper. She was afraid that the anger in her heart would not be as angry as Tang Yanyan's, but now was definitely not the time to fall out with the Zhe family.
I am using great perseverance to control my emotions.
A sad smile appeared on Zhe Ziyu's lips: "The people of the Yang family and the people of Yinzhou have all been offended by me. Even Yang Hao, if he is lucky enough to survive, will probably hate me very much, right? But, what should I do?
Is it right? If my judgment is correct, if we send troops now, when our army is ambushed, Yang Hao will be killed. The result is just that my eldest brother and the whole army of the Zhe family will be buried. This is war, this is
War!"
Tears of humiliation burst out of his eyes. Zhe Yuxun felt heartbroken and stood aside hurriedly, but he didn't know how to persuade him.
Zhe Ziyu cried for a long time, raised his red eyes and glanced at "Second Master Guan" who was standing next to him awkwardly, sniffed and said, "Brother, do you have a geographical map of the mountains and rivers in this area?"
"Second Master Guan" tugged at his belly-length beard and said, "No, but I have been to this area before and am quite familiar with it. What do you want to know, little sister?"
Zhe Ziyu wiped his tears with his sleeves, like a frustrated child, feeling pitiful for "Second Master Guan". Zhe Ziyu walked to the middle of the tent and squatted down, saying: "Brother, we are now at Guanyu Cliff, a few steps away from Yang Haoshou.
The ruins of the ancient city we are trapped in do not go all the way along the river bank. We have to go around some rocks and mountains in the middle. Please draw me the detailed route, especially the situation around the ruins of the ancient city."
Zhe Yuxun had indeed been to this area when he was young. As the future head of the Zhe family, wherever he went, he consciously wanted to be familiar with the mountains, rivers, geography, ethnic groups and tribes there. Now, relying on his memory, he used stones and wooden sticks to place them as
The mountains, rivers, and routes were delineated and explained to Zhe Ziyu in detail.
After listening, Zhe Ziyu pondered for a moment and said: "Let's assume that Li Guangrui's main force, which suddenly disappeared, immediately chose a place to hide after crossing the river and did not continue westward. Then, since he let 20,000 troops to lure the enemy to guard the
By the river, as soon as Yang Hao's main force crossed the river, especially as soon as Yang Hao crossed the river, he immediately released water to destroy the pontoon bridge and attacked him without blocking all his escape routes, intending to lure us over and eat him in one bite.
The main force must not be hidden too far away, otherwise it will lose its effect."
Zhe Yuxun nodded and said: "That's right, but now there are at least tens of thousands of soldiers in these places. Once a fight breaks out, it will definitely not be a battle that can be resolved in an hour or two. Once entangled, it is even more impossible to fight.
Come and leave if you want. The cavalry moves quickly. If we stay farther away, it will not be easy for us to find where they are, but they can come out and kill them at any time.
You see, the north bank is mostly grassland. From here to the mountains along the Great Wall, the area that is one or two hundred miles wide is plains, not to mention the north and south, which stretch for thousands of miles. There are also mountains and rivers in it, but
It is not close to here. From where we are, there are relatively large mountains and rivers upstream and downstream. Li Guangrui was not sure in advance which direction Yang Hao would move. If he really did not leave, but lurked here, then at that time
His army should be behind the 20,000 soldiers and horses. After Yang Hao escapes upstream and uses the ruins of the ancient city as a place to stay, his army will inevitably follow him and settle on the spot."
Zhe Ziyu pointed at the mountains and said, "If that's the case, then his main force must be hidden in these mountains."
Zhe Yuxun smiled bitterly and said: "And those 20,000 enemy troops are at the foot of the mountain, blocking the passes from north to south, trapping Yang Hao. If we want to find out his movements, we have to get under the nose of those 20,000 troops.
, but if we get there, is it necessary to know if they are there? They have already come out to fight us to the death.
Ziyu, if Li Guangrui really didn't leave, if he really was ambushing here, then of course we would die if we went to rescue. If we don't go to rescue, we can only watch Yang Hao being eaten and then running away, just as Miss Tang said
He said, flee back to Xiazhou and strengthen defenses. What's the point of us still stationing troops here to find where his main force is? In that case, it would be better to take a gamble that Li Guangrui has rushed to Xiazhou and the whole army will kill to rescue Yang Hao.
In my opinion, if Li Guangrui is really there, we have already taken precautions, and even if we get out earlier if the situation is bad, he may not be able to keep my old life there."
He bit it painfully: "It's just... in that case, most of the 20,000 elite soldiers will have to be left there."
Zhe Ziyu suddenly burst into tears and laughed: "Brother, you have always valued your own capital and were reluctant to spend even a little bit. You let Qingshu take charge of your money. People behind your back say you are an iron rooster who never gets rid of anything. Why are you willing to take such risks now?"
Zhe Yuxun snorted and said nothing. Zhe Ziyu suddenly took his arm and said softly: "Brother, I know you are doing it for me, but this is a war and you can't be emotional. An army of 60,000 cannot be silent.
The earth disappeared, but it just disappeared, so... I am even more certain that they did not go westward at all, and only in this way can they be hidden so that we cannot find them."
She clicked on the graphics on the ground and said: "Li Guangrui set up an unsolvable deadlock, forcing us to either surrender ourselves or abandon Yang Hao. The San Francisco Alliance collapsed, and he took advantage of it to eat Yang Hao."
The opportunity to boost Hao's morale is either to return to Xiazhou or capture Yinzhou. If we advance, we can attack, and if we retreat, we can defend. It's the best of both worlds. Since this is a dead end, and my eldest brother also said that I want to take a gamble, let's take a gamble.
It’s a bet, but even if we have to bet, we can’t let Li Guangrui lead us by the nose.”
Her eyes brightened and she asked: "Brother, where is the specific location of Moyun Ridge and how far away is it?"
Zhe Yuxun placed another chess piece on the ground: "Here, Li Guangrui's army and grain team learned about the fall of Xiazhou and the retreat of Yinzhou and went up to the mountain to gather grain and grass. Although it is dangerous here, there is only one solitary ridge.
Rely on it for a long time.”
Zhe Ziyu thought for a moment and then asked: "How long does it take to get to Moyunling from here?"
Zhe Yuxun said: "It takes one day for the horse to gallop."
Zhe Ziyu said decisively: "Okay! If he beats his, we will beat ours. He is trapped in the ancient city, and we will burn the grain and grass to see who can outlast the other."
Zhe Yuxun was surprised and said: "A surprise attack on Moyun Ridge?"
"Yes, Li Guangrui must be paying attention to our every move. We mobilized our light cavalry to pretend to attack the ancient city, turned around halfway, and rushed to Moyun Ridge. They must have had no time to react. By the time they discovered our true intention, Moyun Ridge had already turned into a mass.
The sea of fire."
Zhe Ziyu stood up, with a heroic spirit between his brows: "Li Guangrui Xiazhou has been lost, how can the army be as stable as Mount Tai, and still be able to set up confusing situations in an orderly manner? This is the only thing I can't figure out, and now it seems
, Li Guangrui must have decisively blocked the news, so he could still keep the three armies' orders consistent, maintain morale, and calmly plan and set up this trap.
However, the army withdrew from Yinzhou, pretended to go to Suizhou, suddenly crossed the Wuding River, and set up an ambush here. This was a dangerous plan. If we didn't fall for it, his siege of Yinzhou would completely collapse. Why would he?
Do this? The soldiers wouldn't think about it at first, but at this point it's impossible for them not to think about it, and it's impossible for them not to hear the news at all. The news of Xiazhou's fall can only be truly communicated to the three armies at this moment."
Zhe Ziyu puffed up his chest and said in a deep voice: "If I were Li Guangrui, I would tell the soldiers of the three armies at this time that our food and grass are enough to support our return to Xiazhou. Although Xiazhou has fallen, we have trapped Yang Hao.
Soon, his reinforcements will be eaten by us one by one. We will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory to stabilize the morale of the army. If the food and grass in Moyunling are destroyed at this time, his last bit of support will disappear, and the morale of the army will no longer be able to control.
His 60,000-strong army will become a group of lost sheep. Even if they face only 5,000 enemy troops, their only thought will be to escape and keep running away!"
She glanced at Zhe Yuxun and concluded: "Of course, all this analysis is based on the premise that Li Guangrui is setting up a trap here. If he really escapes to Xiazhou, then nothing will happen.
"
Seeing the weird look in his eldest brother's eyes, Zhe Ziyu asked curiously: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Zhe Yuxun sighed softly, pinched his chin and said: "Brother suddenly felt that if I marry you off, it will be the biggest loss to my family. Marrying you in is a good way..."
The 20,000 Xiazhou soldiers who surrounded the ruins of the ancient city did not attack.
The rain stopped, the sky cleared, and the sun rose.
From morning to noon, the yellow mud was scorched by the sun and blown by the wind. The outer layer had become somewhat hard, barely enough for people to stand on, but the enemy camp still did not launch an attack. They were actually digging trenches and building bunkers.
, as if they were the defensive side, Yang Hao understood everything by now.
A huge trap is being dug with him as the center. He is the bait. The soldiers and horses of Yinzhou, Fuzhou, and Linzhou are the prey. Li Guangrui underestimated the enemy and rushed out in full force. After the fall of Xiazhou, he did not retreat in panic.
He actually used the trick and set up such a trap, opening his fangs and big mouth, waiting for the prey to jump in one by one. Not only did he want to take back Xiazhou, but he also didn't want to leave in embarrassment as a defeated army. He wanted to eradicate San Francisco in one fell swoop.
The coalition forces recaptured Yinzhou and then left in a swaggering manner.
At that time, the news of the fall of Xiazhou will no longer be able to dampen the morale of his army and people. He will leave with a thunderstorm. After hearing the news of the death of San Francisco, many tribes will not attack and surrender one after another. Li Guangrui returns to Xiazhou.
When he arrived in the capital, he would not be as panicked as a lost dog. He would be like the first French emperor who successfully escaped from the Island of Elba and return to his royal capital without any bloodshed.
The Northwest King indeed has the heroic spirit and arrogance of the Northwest King.
"No matter what, we must inform the reinforcements not to come for reinforcements!"
Yang Hao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He was eager to tell his judgment to the subordinates he was trying to rescue and his allies, but he was trapped here with no wings to fly. How could he get the news out?
Not only did the enemy army number 20,000, they even built fortifications and dug trenches. By the time Yang Hao realized it, it was already too late. If reinforcements did not come, with only 20,000 enemies in front of him, he would also
There is absolutely no way he can break out, unless his Mo Dao team or heavy armored cavalry are here. Now what he is worried about is not his personal safety, but his relatives, friends, and robes. He will soon jump into Li Guangrui's trap one by one.
It was impossible for him to leave, but he had to spread the news so that the reinforcements could withdraw immediately and strengthen the defenses of Yinzhou and Xiazhou. However, how could the news get out? There was no way to heaven and no way to earth.
Yang Hao suddenly felt that it was no longer a legend that Wu Zixu had his hair turn gray overnight. Maybe when the sun rises tomorrow, he would also turn into a white-headed man.
Commander Li was puzzled by the movements of the Xiazhou army. He hurried to find Yang Hao, only to find that Yang Hao was absent-minded and muttering something. He seemed to be trapped and had lost his mind. Commander Li was so horrified that he hurriedly called for the doctor in the army.
, when he came with the doctor, he found that Yang Hao had disappeared.
"No, there are many companies and camps in front and behind, and trenches have been dug in front of the camp. With my strength, I can't break through the encirclement. If I break through at night...can I break out some people?"
Yang Hao wandered around the ancient city. After seeing the formations before and after, he looked towards the mountains to the south. There were also sentries of Xiazhou soldiers on the mountains. On his side, the dense forest that had been built for thousands of years was impervious to wind and rain. He wanted to cut down the trees.
When he goes up the mountain, even if the Xiazhou soldiers on both sides don't attack, and he is allowed to climb up the mountain peacefully, by the time he reaches the top of the mountain, the place will probably already be full of Xiazhou soldiers, and it will be more difficult than forcing his way into the enemy's camp.
On the north side, there are steep cliffs on the north side of the ancient city. Thousands of years of water have washed the stone walls into straight shapes. Below more than ten feet, there are rolling waves and floods nearly a hundred meters wide. The water flow is very fast, even for those with the best water quality.
No one can swim across it, it’s a desperate place! This is a desperate place!
Yang Hao was looking straight at the Wuding River. At this time, Commander Li came with his doctor. When he saw Yang Hao holding on to the stone wall and looking at the bottom of the cliff with a strange expression, he thought he was going to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river. This was really scary.
With his soul out of his mind, Commander Li gestured to the doctor, crept closer to Yang Hao, suddenly opened his arms, hugged him tightly, and dragged him back: "Captain, you can't do it, you can't do it, the sky is endless.
On the road of human beings, you must not seek short-term consequences."
Yang Hao slowly turned his head and said with a smile: "Who said I want to commit suicide? I live a happy life, why should I commit suicide? Haha, Commander Li, you are really interesting."
When Commander Li saw his smile, he couldn't help but trembled in his heart, and he said with a smile: "Lieutenant, Commander, you...you..."
Yang Hao raised his head and laughed to the sky: "Hahaha, hahahaha, God will not kill me, Li Guangrui, even if you exhaust all your mechanisms, what can you do to me? Hahahahaha..."
Commander Li sat down on the ground and said with an earthy face: "It's over, the commander... is crazy..."
