Chapter Thirty-Nine Fire(1/2)
Huang Degong thought again, what if he got up to chase the horse team?
After thinking about it, I still decided.
He didn't have many horse teams under his command, so he only had a thousand people. After a thousand people died, they would have to chase after Huoqiu in one day. It would be too late to calculate. Even if it was not too late, it would be useless.
He sighed and said nothing.
Zhao Yu didn't know that his military power was almost depressed and sick. Even if he knew, he would only laugh. Even if Zhao Yu knew that Huang Degong was going to do something behind his back, he would not have been able to wipe out Ge Zuo, and he would have to kill Huang Degong.
I don’t know if Huang Degong’s luck is good or bad.
At midnight, Zhao Yu's central army arrived near Huoqiu.
At the same time, it was also related to the night of the other four troops.
Because we should avoid alerting the snake, although these four troops had surrounded Huoqiu from all directions, they were not close. They were all twenty miles away.
Probably when Zhao Yu defeated Shouzhou, the four troops arrived at the established position.
However, after all, the soldiers are vast and the momentum is quite powerful. It is inevitable that the bandit scouts of Huoqiu were found. These four soldiers and horses have also done a lot of work.
But unexpectedly, it was done in vain.
The thief is a thief, not a regular army, but is in negligence in many aspects.
I roughly thought that with the Taihang Mountains and facing Shouzhou. With Shouzhou standing in front, it would be impossible for the imperial army to arrive without knowing it.
But I didn't know that Shouzhou was defeated in one battle and could not escape a thief and was beaten up in one fell swoop.
Since then, Huoqiu's thieves are still unaware of them.
The four armies were each in their place. They had been repaired for four or five hours, and they were all fierce and eager to fight.
When Zhao Yu's troops arrived at the established position, there were already four scouts waiting. They first reported to Zhao Yu about the situation of each unit, and then asked for a fight.
Especially after knowing that Zhao Yu's army was captured, the four scouts were even more ready to go and could not control them.
After a glimpse of the whole leopard, Zhao Yu knew the fighting intentions of various troops, but he looked at his central army. He rushed to the road overnight last night, only repaired outside Shouzhou City for a moment, and captured Shouzhou for another moment, and rushed straight to Huoqiu.
It has been twelve hours since I have not rested, and I am exhausted in fighting and raiding.
But the other four parts are eager to fight.
Zhao Yu thought for a while and said to the left and right: "Our central army broke into Shouzhou, and had many military achievements. Huoqiu might as well give it to the other four divisions, can that be?"
Although many soldiers were still excited, they were not iron men after all.
Think about the fact that the Gell of Zuo has a total of five battalions, and the army is divided into five divisions. Since the central army has taken over one battalion of bandits, it is not an exaggeration to hand over the other four divisions.
The key is to be powerless.
There is nothing to do.
So the middle and low-level generals and officials of the central army had to agree.
Zhao Yu nodded and said to the scouts of the four tribes: "You will return to each tribe and inform the generals of each tribe and immediately advance to Huoqiu. You must remember that the situation of the siege will not be disturbed!"
He also said: "I will lead my own guards and go to the Pocheng. I will wait until the fire catches in Huoqiu City, and then prepare for battle!"
"You must not let the thief leader go!"
"Here!"
The scouts from all the tribes were greatly excited, and they were filled with joy. They all turned over and hurried back to the troops of various tribes.
When I heard about the battle, I was happy. Although there were many other reasons, I also had the power of elite soldiers.
Zhao Yu then ordered Yang He to command the central army to set up camps and not mention the repairs. He gathered hundreds of cavalry guards and came to the side.
These hundred cavalry guards were elite soldiers assigned by the prince and trained by Wang Yisheng. They also suppressed bandits in various places and experienced wars. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are elite soldiers.
In Zhao Yu's opinion, even if they fight against the Tartar cavalry one-on-one, they may not be defeated.
Although it has not been repaired for twelve hours, after all, people rely on horsepower, and one person has three horses. Compared with the invaders, they are much more energetic and energetic.
Before the break of Shouzhou, Zhao Yu took the lead and hundreds of cavalry followed behind, but there was no big loss. One reason was that they were well-equipped and all wore armor and helmets. Two reason was that wherever Zhao Yu passed, where there were thieves who resisted?
As a result, the loss of no more than ten horses was caused by carelessness, or by falling into the ground due to obstacles. Most of them were slightly injured, and one or two people were seriously injured.
All the injured stayed in Shouzhou. There were still 90 horsemen here.
Zhao Yu directly ordered: "Eat a full meal, tidy up for a moment, and then set off."
Be vigorous and decisive.
Then he took dry food and ate three pieces with clear water. Then he closed his eyes and sat cross-legged to transport blood and blood.
The amount of dry food is very large, one pound per piece. Ordinary soldiers can eat half a piece of food in one meal, which is almost the same. Zhao Yu only puts the bottom after eating three pieces.
After marching along the way, Zhao Yu never relaxed his practice.
Even when riding on a horse, as long as you don’t talk to the left and right, you are still trying to figure out the mystery of qi, blood and acupoints. When fighting, you use some of the principles you figure out into practice to prove the truth.
The battle in Shouzhou was too easy and there was no pressure. But in practice, there was something to gain. It was just right to take this opportunity to digest it well.
A moment of time is short and short.
Zhao Yu had a very accurate feeling that he could say it for a moment.
He opened his eyes and slowly stood up.
The personal guards around him opened their eyes when they heard the movements.
“Get on the horse.”
Zhao Yu didn't say much.
Because it is not necessary.
But he turned over and waved his hand, and hundreds of horses were sank into the darkness and disappeared.
Regardless of whether the night attack or not, the later the bandits in Huoqiu discovered Zhao Yu's army, the better. The later they were exposed, the less time they prepared for the bandits and the lower their resistance.
As a result, the Baiqi personal guards, and even the dark clouds under Zhao Yu's crotch, wrapped the horse's hooves with thick cloth, trying their best to prevent the sound from coming too far.
As for Zhao Yu's iron cone, it was still dragged with a carriage. After all, there were still twenty miles under Huoqiu City when he arrived here. If Zhao Yu carried the iron cone and ran for twenty miles, even if the war horse under his crotch was a divine horse, he would be exhausted to death.
So I pulled a simple cart with two horses, but it would not slow down.
Twenty miles, if you marching, you will need an hour. However, the speed of the cavalry is far beyond the comparison of infantrymen. What's more, one man and three horses?
I transferred to the war horse halfway, until outside Huoqiu City.
The four-way army was arranged on the front line. When Zhao Yu led his troops to Huoqiu, they had already met. And they were ready. When Zhao Yu arrived outside Huoqiu City, this army was only five miles behind Zhao Yu.
After careful calculation, as long as there is no mistake in the middle of the other three troops, according to the established plan, they should be in place immediately.
Outside the city, I transferred another war horse.
Then I took a moment of rest.
Zhao Yu looked at the head of Huoqiu City with the shadow of the night and the woods, but he didn't see any patrols. There were only a few torches vaguely.
I also sneered secretly in my heart.
The thief is a thief, and it is indeed a mob.
I don’t understand the principle of being prepared for danger in times of peace. No wonder the other four armies came along, only twenty miles away, and never alarmed Huoqiu. Even the patrols on the city walls were so ignored, and these thieves were enough.
Did you think that Shouzhou can rest assured as you stand in front?
Zhao Yu sneered and shook his head.
Behind him, there was a slight noise.
Zhao Yu turned around and saw the overwhelming army in the darkness, which had arrived.
The generals of this army came to Zhao Yu, and first bowed, then looked full of desire.
Zhao Yu smiled slightly: "Don't worry."
He pointed to the fire at the top of the city: "As such a mob, you will win tonight. Just arrange the army and block the city gates, so that you cannot let the thieves go."
The general said, "General, it takes less than ten thousand troops to block the door."
Zhao Yu couldn't help laughing: "It's a good thing to be eager to fight. I have never said that you would let all ten thousand troops block the door. You will separate half of the door and the rest. When I break the city gate, I will follow me into the city."
The generals were very happy.
This is unique!
The other three troops did not have this opportunity. Only Zhao Yu can have it.
The generals did not think that the mere Huoqiu city gate could block Zhao Yu. When he was in Liaodong, the Tartar camp was not as strong as the mere Huoqiu city gate. But under Zhao Yu's cone, it was also mud-cup.
If you take the lead in entering the city with Zhao Yu, you will definitely have more military achievements.
The generals were happy, and it was reasonable.
So I hurriedly went down to make arrangements not to mention it.
After a moment passed, Zhao Yu picked up the iron cone from the cart and turned over to the horse: "Old Zhang, I'll kill you tonight."
Commander Zhang smiled and raised the sword in his hand: "It's so comfortable to fight with the general."
