Yun He gave a few words of instruction and continued to rush to Ganzhou City. After walking for another hour, everyone came to the east gate of Ganzhou City.
He originally wanted to rest first after seeing Zhu Kai, but the news Zhu Kai told him gave up his idea.
"What, you said that Shang Bing suffered a big loss when Pu attacked the city on May 25th!" Yunxi said in disbelief: "Shang Bing was defending the city, not wandering around with the soldiers of Wu
How can we suffer a big loss in the battle!"
"I don't know the specific situation. The letter from Shang Bing didn't go into details. It just said that it suffered a big loss and the city could hold on for a much shorter time than expected. I asked the army to send troops to rescue as soon as possible."
After hearing this, Yunxi suddenly became anxious. Although he knew before that 1 had assembled 500,000 soldiers and horses to dominate Yiwu City, Shang Bing also had 90,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and the more than 100,000 people in the city could also
Recruiting more than 50,000 civilians is really not possible. Even half-old children of military households in the city can carry guns. The ratio of troops is not particularly disparate, and there are also a lot of supplies to defend the city. It should be possible to last for a long time. But now he is told to hurry up.
Can't hold on any longer.
"How many days ago was this news?" Yunxi suddenly remembered and asked.
"The news came three days ago." Zhu Wei replied.
"Fortunately, even if the outer city is lost, there is still an inner city, and we can still hold on for a few more days." As he spoke, he took out a map, made two gestures and said: "Qingyang and other seven guard posts led by Xu Huizu, as well as Lan
The nearly 100,000 troops led by Zhen should have passed through the Xingxing Gorge, so let them rush to Yiwu to relieve the siege!"
"I thought so too, but Xu Huizu said..." Before Zhu Ting could finish his words, Yun He interrupted: "Why, he doesn't want to be rescued!"
Yunxi suddenly became furious: "If Yiwu City is lost, can he bear the responsibility?" Then he turned to Chen Ji and ordered: "Immediately prepare an order to order Wei Guogong Xu Huizu to send troops to rescue without delay!"
Chen Ji understood that Yiwu City was in great danger now, and he was about to draft a decree. But at this moment, the bodyguard Chen Lijie who was following Yunxi suddenly said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Su, the decree cannot be issued!"
…
…
"Wei Guogong, hurry up and order the troops to march." Lan Zhen jumped to her feet anxiously and said while walking in Xu Huizu's tent.
At this time, the two of them commanded 130,000 troops, including nearly 100,000 soldiers from the Central Plains, and more than 30,000 Mongolians, Xifan Shazhou and other guards.
Xu Huizu's troops arrived at Xingxing Gorge about five days ago, but they remained stationary even though Lan Zhen arrived with troops three days later.
Lan Zhen was very anxious and came over every day to persuade Xu Huizu to send troops, but Xu Huizu refused to agree.
"Xu Huizu!" Lan Zhen said in a serious tone: "His Royal Highness King Qin is in Yiwu City. If Yiwu City is lost and His Majesty is furious, have you ever thought about what kind of responsibilities the two of us will bear!"
"But we can't send troops now!" Although Xu Huizu's face turned pale, he still maintained his composure: "You and I only have 130,000 horses in our hands, and more than 30,000 of them are unreliable barbarian soldiers, and they are not all cavalry.
It is about half cavalry and infantry but no artillery. If we are to encircle a point for reinforcements and send 200,000 to 300,000 troops to attack our army, while the remaining soldiers continue to besiege Yiwu City, how will our army respond? We must have 200,000 to 300,000 soldiers in hand.
Only then can we send troops to rescue! Otherwise, it will become a fuel tactic, and this battle will definitely be defeated!"
"As for Yiwu City, although 1 used such despicable methods to attack the city, I believe that His Highness King Qin can continue to hold on to the city for a few more days. As long as there are five more days, His Highness the King of Jin, His Highness the King of Liao, His Highness the King of Ying, and King Yong will
When the soldiers led by His Highness and others rush to Xingxing Gorge, they will have an army of 300,000 people and many cannons, and they will be able to send troops to rescue Yiwu City!"
"It will take five days to wait for the King of Jin and other His Highnesses to arrive with their troops, and it will take another five or six days to rush from here to Yiwu. How can His Highness the King of Qin hold on for ten days!" Lan Zhen shouted loudly.
"With your highness' talent, you will definitely be able to hold on for another ten days!" Xu Huizu said.
"Now is not the time to believe it!" Lan Zhen took a breath and said: "You think I don't know what you said? Do you think I won't fight? But are these soldiers more important or His Highness? If Yiwu City is destroyed, His Highness will be
Prisoner, have you ever thought about what will happen to you? Even if the chance is less than 10%, you must not take it lightly!"
"If these soldiers are lost, Ming Dynasty will have no advantage against Wu in sending troops this time. Even if the siege of Yiwu is solved, it will be difficult to win the subsequent war. In order to finally defeat Wu's soldiers, these soldiers must not be lost!"
"As for His Highness the King of Qin," Xu Huizu's face became even paler: "If His Highness the King of Qin has any problems, I will commit suicide to bury His Highness after the war!"
After hearing this, Lan Zhen was frightened for a moment. He thought he was very loyal and patriotic, but it was impossible for him to be as loyal and patriotic as Xu Huizu was: for the final victory of the war, he risked his life and property.
After a long while, I heard him let out a long sigh and said: "That's all, you are the commander-in-chief of the Western Expeditionary Army appointed by His Majesty, and I am just the former deputy general of the army? I will go crazy with you this time!"
…
…
"Finally, we repelled five more sieges." Song Hu wiped his face with his sleeves, wiped off the mud, dust and blood on his head, and stood on the top of the city, saying with emotion.
It was already the seventh day of June in the sixth year of Jianye in the Ming Dynasty, and it was already the twelfth day since the official order to attack the city on January 1.
In the past twelve days, 1 would use his soldiers every day to attack the city regardless of the main attack or auxiliary attack. In other words, there were too many soldiers under 5 so they could not distinguish between the main attack and auxiliary attack, and attacked the city with the most violent attack.
