Suo Li didn't care about Yun Li's unkind words, and said with a smile: "Of course I don't have that much ability, but at least I can take the lead for the prince and kill a few more enemies."
Yunli sighed softly and said: "If we concentrate all our troops to attack the city, we can naturally force Galdan to hand over the city, but that would be too much of a loss. We haven't officially fought yet and have lost our troops and generals like this. Do you think we can have a chance to defeat the enemy?"
Geer?"
Suoli's face looked a little ugly, and he said in a deep voice after a while: "But now that Jungar has captured the city, we have no chance to defend it. We even have to guard against their sneak attacks from time to time. In addition to forcibly attacking the city, we have
I really can't think of any other way. But with the cannons from the firearms battalion, the siege should be relatively easy, and the casualties of the soldiers can also be reduced."
"You are right, but it is not enough for me. I want to force Galdan to hand over the city with minimal damage." After finishing his sentence, Yunli fell into deep thought.
Sori knew he was thinking of a way, but in the current situation, other than a strong attack, he really couldn't think of any other way.
At this time, Yunli had almost walked out of the camp. The city was standing not far away, and you could even see the dark shadows patrolling the city wall.
Suoli grabbed him and said: "Your Majesty, we can't go any further. If we walk into their attack range, we will be in danger."
Yunli didn't speak, just stared at the long city wall. This city was of great significance to the Qing Dynasty, but it was also a shame, so it must be recaptured, but would it require huge losses to attack the city? No.
, there must be another way.
This place is only ten miles away from Jungar. Now Galdan has deployed heavy troops in the city. In other words, Jungar's troops are empty. If he can cross the city and directly attack Jungar, Galdan will never sit idly by.
He can lead troops back to help, just like "surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao" during the Six Kingdoms period.
After thinking carefully and confirming that this plan was feasible, Yunli immediately ordered Suoli: "Send the order to the army. Tonight, I will lead 50,000 elite soldiers and horses to climb over the mountains and bypass the city to attack Jungar!"
Suoli was shocked and said: "Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"
Yunli smiled coldly and said: "I want Galdan to take the initiative to give up the city. This time you don't have to follow me. You can stay here with several lieutenants to guard against Galdan's sneak attack. In addition, if Galdan is found
Once Dan leads the main army out of the city, you must immediately gather all your forces and attack the city. This is our best opportunity to retake the city, and we must seize it firmly."
Hearing this, Suoli already understood Yunli's plan, and said quickly: "Your Majesty, when it comes to attacking Jungar, your subordinates will lead the troops. You are the commander of the army. You should stay in the rear. You must not take risks."
.”
Yunli shook his head and said: "You are no match for Galdan. If you attack Jungel, you will probably escape death."
"But doing this is too dangerous. If the prince is in any danger, this army will become leaderless again and lose its commander twice. Do you think there will be such a thing as morale?"
Yunli smiled slightly and said: "When did you become so uninterested in me? Don't worry, I will definitely come back alive. Moreover, this time I just lured them out of the city, and may not lead to a fight."
"But..." Before Suo Li could persuade him, Yunli said in a deep voice, "The king has made up his mind. You don't need to say more. In short, you just follow the king's instructions and deliver the order."
Suoli gritted his teeth and suddenly knelt down and said: "If the prince must go, please take his subordinates with him, otherwise the subordinates will never get out of the way even if they disobey military orders."
Yunli stared at him for a long time, nodded and said: "In that case, just stay with me and tell the lieutenants to wake up and not miss this opportunity."
"Yes." After receiving Yunli's words, Suoli no longer hesitated, and quickly went to the army to deliver the order, and personally selected 50,000 soldiers, all of whom were elites, including gunners from the firearms battalion.
After nightfall, Yunli led Soli and an army of 50,000 people and climbed the steep hillside silently. But before leaving, Yunli whispered a few words to several lieutenants. What they said, even
Sori didn't even know.
By the time the city's defenders discovered traces of Yunli and others in the dim sky, they were no longer within shooting range and could only watch them go away.
Galdan saw this scene through the telescope, and even saw Yunli's cold gaze when he turned back. The next moment, his limbs felt cold, and there was a panic running through his limbs.
Their tribe was in the direction Yunli was going. This was not a coincidence, but Yunli was heading towards their tribe.
He couldn't capture the city, so he wanted to capture their tribe, so that they would lose their tribe and be trapped in the city. Although Galdan left tens of thousands of troops in the tribe when he deployed his troops, he and Yunli were
Those who had fought against him suffered a lot at his hands. Even Barton died. Although this man was leading an army for the first time, he was definitely not easy to deal with. If he was allowed to go like this, the tribe... would be in danger.
He should have led troops to rescue, but if he went, the city would be automatically returned to the Qing Dynasty. This must be what Yunli wanted, but could he not go?
No, it can't be done! He knew that this was Yunli's conspiracy, but he had to do it. This feeling of being led by others was really bad!
However, he won't just let Yunli get his wish. He wants to defend this city and confront him. Oh, what a dream! What he can't get, others can't even imagine!
When several lieutenants stood at a high place and saw through telescopes that Galdan led his troops to leave the city, and were about to order the army to attack the empty city, there was a sudden loud noise in the city, followed by a tremor in the ground, which made everyone
Standing unsteadily, I finally waited until the shaking of the earth passed.
After being able to stand firm, they looked around and saw that the city that was clearly visible just now was shrouded in thick smoke. When the smoke dissipated, what they could see was the dilapidated city. The city towers were completely destroyed. Unless they rebuilt the city towers, they would
This place cannot be used to block Jungar's attack.
When the lieutenants scolded Galdan for being despicable, Galdan led everyone out of the city to pursue Yunli with all their strength, and finally stopped them when they reached the Jungar border.
During the confrontation between the two armies, Galdan touched the wound on his ear and said in a dark voice: "Prince Guo is really a good strategist. He actually used this method to lure me out of the city. But it's a pity that you only brought so many tens of thousands of horses.
I’m afraid there will be no return.”
Yunli said nonchalantly: "Last time I came here, I only brought some close friends with me. Didn't I go back the same way? I even collected some interest from King Khan. King Khan wouldn't forget it so quickly."
