Chapter 706 Don't Save the Death
At the head of Guyuan City, the general Peng Yue and Yang Yiqing looked sadly at the Taranian cavalry swept by the black pressure. The yellow dust from the horseshoe of the cavalry was like a monster floating in the air. After a moment, the city became a piece of yellow.
"General Yang's judgment was wrong. The day before yesterday, he ordered Pegasus to send a letter, judging that the Harans would not attack Guyuan. He asked us to do our best to do a good job in the resettlement of the people in the city and not to create chaos. In a blink of an eye, the Harans came to the city." Peng Yue said in a hoarse voice.
Yang Yiqing nodded slightly and said, "I don't blame the general. How can there be enough certainty to judge the enemy's movements on the battlefield? You and I agree with the general's judgment reasons. Who knows that the Tiratsu attacked Guyuan desperately? How many people have come to the thir?
Peng Yue narrowed his eyes and shook his head and said, "It's impossible to estimate that tens of thousands of people can reach. Obviously, the Tarcons are out of the nest. This is the forward battalion, and the subsequent soldiers and horses will arrive soon."
Yang Yiqing frowned and said, "Anyway, hurry up and defend the city. We have 12,000 soldiers and horses, and we should be able to withstand the attack."
Peng Yue shook his head and said, "It's difficult. The soldiers and horses in the city are not elites. The elites are in the hands of the general, and 40,000 soldiers and horses are about three or two days to break the city. I think it's better to do a good job of the evacuation of the people, and in addition, we should send people to inform the general of the movement of the sari. The Harrats obviously came after a night of galloping. The generals may not know the direction of the Harrats marching to Guyuan. Most of our soldiers and horses are infantry, and it will take three or four days to get here. If we don't notify them in time, I'm afraid they won't be able to catch up with the rescue.
Yang Yiqing thought for a moment and nodded and said, "Well, I will leave the matter of defending the city to you. I will go to the city to arrange evacuation matters. Once the situation is unfavorable, I will immediately let the people retreat to Qingyang. In addition, I can also choose some young men to help you defend the city.
Peng Yue nodded and said, "Okay, I will also immediately order someone to ride a fast horse to inform the general. We each bear our own responsibilities and strive to defend Guyuan before the reinforcements arrive.
Yang Yiqing nodded, looked at the noise of the people in the city, turned around and slowly went down the tower.
On the evening of the 25th, the exhausted messenger cavalry left the city from the south gate of Guyuan and ran all the way. Finally, they arrived at the station of Song Nan's army more than 300 miles away from Guyuan, and sent the letter of relief jointly signed by Yang Yiqing and Peng Yue to Song Nan.
The news spread, and the army suddenly exploded. There was something wrong with the eyes of the generals looking at Song Nan. The general made a major mistake this time. Xu Tai, Jiang Bin and the three guards have set out for Lingzhou, but Lingzhou has not been attacked at all. On the contrary, the excluded attack direction is Guyuan, but A letter for help has been sent. The Taran did not attack Lingzhou according to the general's judgment at all, but directly attacked Guyuan.
In the big account, Song Nan didn't say a word with a green face. The generals muttered in their hearts but did not dare to let Song Nan step down in front of him. In the handsome case, the letter lay there quietly, like evidence of Song Nan's misjudgment, which looked very eye-catching.
"Guys, go back to the camp and prepare to start immediately. The salams have moved, and it's time for us to start." Song Nan said quietly.
"The last general suggested that 5,000 cavalry should be sent first and arrive at the rear of the Tasars and horses in Guyuan early tomorrow morning. Although they can't relieve the siege, they can put some pressure on the tarans and contain their attack." An enemy guard commander finally felt that he had a chance to perform. Obviously, General Song's wisdom was not good, and this time he had to say what he thought.
Song Nan frowned and looked at him and said, "Guyuan? You said you would send 5,000 cavalry to Guyuan?
"Yes?" The commander was also stunned. Is the general angry? Didn't you go to Guyuan?
"Why did I ask you to go to Guyuan?" Song Nan frowned.
"This... Didn't Lord Guyuan Yang Yiqing and Mr. Peng send a letter for help? Shall we not go to the rescue?" The generals are also confused. Does Lord Song become demented like Xu Guangzuo?
"Hahaha." Song Nan suddenly laughed loudly, reached out and picked up the letter on the case and threw it into the paper basket beside him. He laughed and said, "We are going to Lingzhou. What's the original work?"
"Ah?"
The eyes rolled around on the ground, and their mouths were so open that they could stuff a piece of cow dung.
"General, don't joke. Guyuan is in critical condition. Aren't we going to Guyuan to rescue? The last general suggested to immediately send people to recall 40,000 soldiers and horses from Lingzhou. Although it was delayed for two or three days, he could still catch up. General Zuo came forward.
Song Nan shook her head and waved her hand and laughed endlessly: "No, no, the Tazi is deliberately fooling us. Can't you see it? The mastification of Guyuan led me to Guyuan, and then they turned around and went north. This time, with the advantage of the foot strength of the cavalry, they drove my army away for six or seven days. When we recover, Lingzhou has been broken.
"This...no way." All the generals were dumbfounded. It seemed reasonable for the general to say so, but he always felt that the matter was too complicated. Obviously, the Taran army attacked Guyuan, and Yang Yiqing and Peng Yue sent letters for help, but he was still stubborn.
Song Nan suddenly got up and shouted, "All listen to the order and leave for Lingzhou immediately."
General Zuo shouted, "General, you can't do this. Once Guyuan is lost, this crime is great. The general can't let the city attacked by the Dartars go without rescue, but goes against it. How can he explain this in the future?
Song Nan frowned and shouted, "Stupid, do you dare to resist the order?"
General Zuo knelt down and kowtowed and said, "I dare not be humble, but I don't want the court to punish the general. Although the salams are fierce, they can't ignore it."
Song Nan was angry and whispered, "Do you want to eat the board? What I told you is clear that the Taran is a trick to make a false shot away from the mountain. Can't you turn your elm head?
"I don't think it's possible for a humble position. How can the people be so smart? It's better to believe it than to believe it. We can't bet on more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Guyuan.
Song Nan laughed angrily and didn't want to talk too much with him. He shouted, "Come on, drag him out and hit ten boards. If he commits his first crime, he will not be dismissed. Next time, he will shout and directly change into a hundred households."
The personal guard dragged the left and played ten boards outside the tent. General Zuo was ashamed and angry, and the generals also looked different, but after all, the military order was like a mountain, and he did not dare to say more. At present, the army quickly started, taking advantage of the last glimmer of sky to go all the way north, but it is getting farther and farther away from Guyuan, which is in the midst of the fierce war.
......
At the head of Guyuan City, the Taran began to knock down trees from the mountains in the east. In the evening, dozens of catapults and hundreds of cloud ladders had been built. The Taran also learned to make temporary siege equipment, which was the first time in the Ming army's impression. Moreover, this crude catapult can easily throw dozens of catties of large plates of stone into the high city of Guyuan.
If you want to name these cataplings, you should call them Russian catapists, because this is part of the cooperation between the bald Mang and Rasha country and sent hundreds of craftsmen to learn the creation of wooden siege equipment that Rasha has long been eliminated. Everything is for the right Fu Ming Dynasty.
Dozens of catapults smashed stones at the head of the city, and did not stop from evening to dark. The rest of the Tatar soldiers all turned into craftsmen. By the early morning of the 26th, there were dozens more catapults in the city.
In the morning, the first formal siege of the tartans began. Under the cover of the catapult, thousands of tartans cavalry quickly rushed to the city with ladders, and the Ming army at the head of the city braved the stone rain to fight back. Although the Tarot offensive was fierce, it always felt that something was wrong, as if they retreated at a touch and did not intend to fight desperately. The appearance.
This point was also keenly noticed by Peng Yue, who commanded the battle, but he had no time to think about why. The attacks of the Tarots rotated as if they had been agreed in advance, and only invested thousands of soldiers and horses at a time. However, hundreds of annoying cataping machines played a big role, with bombardment day and night. Down, half of the tower was smashed, and the towers were smashed smoothly. The city was full of stones. The soldiers also had to climb the tower to attack in order to defend. Thousands of people were stoned and killed more than 300 people.
There were more than a thousand casualties, but none of them were killed when they went to the city, but were shot by bows and arrows on the way. The two sides took a day and a night. On the night of 26th, the Tatars used the night to launch a fierce attack. Perhaps the follow-up soldiers and horses of the Tatar have arrived, and the intensity of this attack is more than a hundred times more fierce than the slow rhythm of dogs tearing sheep's skin during the day; hundreds of ladders climbed up the city, and the Tatari soldiers flocked up, once capturing hundreds of steps north of the Western Wall.
Peng Yue personally fought with thousands of soldiers in blood, which took this section of the wall back. After that, the Tazis breathed their flag again. Both sides are tired. This siege is completely a kind of consumption battle, and both sides can't stand it. Especially after this last fierce attack, Peng Yue became more and more aware that Guyuan could not be defended. If the reinforcements did not come, as long as the Tari people went crazy a few more times, the city would be broken.
However, after the Taran's attack was repulsed, he received a message that the messenger cavalry returning from Song Nan's battalion brought back a message that stunned him. Song Nan asked the soldier to bring back a few handwritten letter: "The Taran's attack, there is no need to panic, just guard it."
"Fuck, frick your mother." Peng Yue cursed. The thrilling scene just now was still in his mind. It was not a mast at all. The Taran was reluctant to throw himself into the army. There were only more than 10,000 people attacking. If 10,000 had been added, the city would have been broken long ago.
"Song Nan, you bastard." Peng Yue's heart. He scolded all the 18 generations of Song Nan's ancestors and hurriedly took this letter to Yang Yiqing.
