Chasing King

Chapter 21

Yuanmao recruited men over 13 years old and strong women, more than 7000 of them. So far, all those who could carry swords and move stones in Guangning city had to fight. Of course, they would not go directly to the city wall to defend the enemy, but did all the logistical preparations.

In the team, Yuan Mao saw yuan Weiling with a shrinking head. He frowned and pointed to Yuan Weiling: "you come out for me."

Yuan Weiling reluctantly stood up.

Yuan Mao said seriously, "what are you doing here?"

"Go to war."

"Nonsense, who will take care of your mother?"

"My mother asked me to come." Yuan Weiling said boldly, "my mother said she doesn't need to take care of her. Let me help my father."

"You..."

Yuan Weiling straightened his chest: "Dad, I'm much stronger than ordinary women. I'm not afraid to let me fight."

Yuan Sikong tugged at Yuan Mao's sleeve: "Dad, it's time to employ people. My elder sister is smart and agile. She can help me. Besides, they are just transporting materials. There is no danger."

Yuan Mao said with a taut face: "ling'er, you are not allowed to mess around. You should obey the dispatch."

"Don't worry, Dad." Yuan Wei Ling vomited his tongue, "thousand households Lord."

Yuan Mao led yuan Shaoxu and Yuan Sikong to the house: "kong'er, you just said that you have a plan to retreat from the enemy?"

Yuan Sikong nodded.

The three men went to the huge map lying on the table, and Yuan Mao held up the case with both hands: "say it."

"Drollette made a big mistake." Yuan Sikong opens the door to the mountain road.

"Oh, what's wrong?"

"He didn't besiege the city." Yuan Sikong said, "of course, he didn't make this mistake on purpose. It's a helpless move."

Yuan Mao stared at the map: "yes, the terrain of Guangning, the current climate and many other reasons make him not besieged. Of course, another reason is that he belittles the enemy."

Before entering Guangning, Zhuo Letai had already captured 4000 Sheng soldiers. Naturally, he knew that there was no shortage of food and clothing in Guangning, and he was most afraid that the defenders would not worry about food and grass, while the attackers would come all the way, because the defenders were not afraid of the encirclement, and the attackers could not afford it.

In addition, there is a mountain canal around Guangning City, and there is not enough open area for the horses, cattle and sheep brought by zhuoletai to graze. Nowadays, it is cold and there is no pasture. No matter what people eat or what animals eat, they must be transported by themselves. In this way, zhuoletai does not dare to divide his troops to encircle the city for fear that the food will be attacked.

As a matter of fact, choosing this time to fight is a big taboo of military strategists. However, drollette did not have a choice. If the water was not frozen, they would not be able to get through. This was also extremely difficult.

Of course, as Yuan Mao said, zhuoletai did despise the enemy. I'm afraid he would not have thought that a small town with only two or three thousand garrisons could resist so tenaciously.

So he didn't besiege the city so that Li Boyun could go to the capital to ask for help. Now even if he wants to, he can't afford to.

Yuan Sikong said: "the scouts said that although there was no siege, zhuoletai had set up separate sentries to monitor Guangning's every move at any time. However, there must be omissions in the sentries, especially when the night was dark and the wind was high."

"You mean..." Yuan Mao thought, "want to go out of the city?"

Yuan Sikong nodded.

Yuan Shaoxu frowned and said, "if you go out of the city at this time, if you are caught by the Jin people, won't you die?"

"Being held in the city by the golden man is also a death." Yuan Sikong's eyes had calmness and concentration beyond his age. "My plan is to send a group of dead men to hide from the sentry on a snowy night and go around to the rear of the Jin army camp. When Zhuo Letai attacks the city, he will attack his camp and food and grass secretly."

Yuan Mao took a breath and said slowly, "this plan is very dangerous."

"Yes, it's too risky." Yuan Shaoxu said, "who will be sent and how many people will be sent? How can we divide our forces? If these people are discovered, they will never come back. "

"Dad, big brother, let's listen to the details." Yuan Sikong twisted a chess piece with two fingers and landed it between Guangning city and Jinjun camp. "Choose 300 dead men, take seven days' rations, match with fire blunders and fire oil, leave Guangning on a snowy night, dodge the sentry, go around the rear of Jinying and lie in ambush." He pushed the chess piece with his finger and slid to the back of Jinying, "when zhuoletai attacked the city, the camp must be weak. The dead men took advantage of the weakness to attack the camp, startled the cattle and sheep with fire blunders, and burned their food with fire oil. If they succeed, they will succeed. If they fail, zhuoletai will definitely go back to save the food, so the danger of Guangning will be solved temporarily." He finally pushed the chess piece into Jinying.

Yuan Shaoxu said: "this plan is quite difficult, I'm afraid it won't work. As you said, even if it is successful, it will only be a temporary solution. What should we do when drollette settles down and comes back? "

"We have to observe when drollette withdraws. If the soldiers retreat in an orderly way and the banners are not disordered, it proves that he has a good command of the troops. He will send his cavalry first and return to the camp as soon as possible, and he will lead his elite soldiers to the end. Then we will go out of the city and catch up with them. While his cavalry is not there, we will attack his infantry or siegers' hinterland. It doesn't matter how much to kill the enemy, but we should rush his formation. If he is in a panic and chaos when he withdraws, it is even better, When the Jin army directly attacked its tail army, it was unable to attack the city twice. The damage was heavy. The morale of the Jin army was already low. Now that it was attacked by the barracks before and followed by the pursuers, the morale of the Jin army will be greatly destroyed. "Yuan Mao nodded: "go on."

Yuan Sikong narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed: "next, it's the last plan to drive drollette back to the barbarian land."

-

Li Boyun sacrificed his life for the sake of justice, fighting for 12 days for guangningwei.

Within 12 days, they stepped up military training, building walls and hoarding wartime materials, and mobilized the whole city.

When the zhuoletai army pressed down on the border, the people who still had a way to retreat had already fled. Most of the people left were poor people whose wealth was tied to the land. They could not leave the land they depended on, so they had nowhere to go. Their fate was closely related to the city.

The officers and men of the Yuanmao school went door to door to encourage them to donate all their iron tools, clothing and fire oil, and enlist all the young men and women into the army. Li Boyun used his life to inspire the soldiers and the city to survive and die together. Yuan Mao told the people of Guangning that as long as they were united, they would unite as one.

The whole city of Guangning put all its eggs in one basket. Forty thousand people in the city had money and made great efforts to protect their common hometown.

When drollette attacked the city for the third time, everyone was determined to die and did something to survive.

As the army approached, a gust of wind dispersed the snow and fog, and the vision became clear.

I saw that on the long gun standing like a forest, there was one bloody head after another!

The garrison general in the city is creepy, which is clearly the 4000 prisoners of Sheng army!

What made them most indignant was that the head of Li Boyun, governor of Liaodong, was on top of the flag of zhuoletai!

I don't know if I have heard the mourning of Liaodong people.

Yuan Sikong stood beside yuan Mao and could almost hear the sound of Yuan Mao clenching his fist bone.

His nose is slightly sour. In his mind, there is a picture of Li Boyun riding a horse and leaving peacefully. His thin figure is gradually blurred in the wind and snow. That day, the sky and the earth are the same, and the snow and fog are confusing the heaven and the earth. He seems to disappear in a fairyland.
