Chapter 330 Insert Youzhou (Part 2)
"I'm finally back."
In Yikou County, Lu Gao looked at his hometown that had been away for a long time and couldn't help but burst into tears.
The scenery in front of you is different from Jinling. The continuous mountains, vast land, and castles faintly visible on the plains bring a kind of desolate and vastness at first glance. This is Youzhou.
At this time, the sun was setting, and the dusk was getting darker. Thirty thousand troops entered the city one after another. The continuous army looked boundless, and the deputy generals and the prefect were sweating profusely, commanding the arrangements for camping.
Even if we were prepared and arranged a 30,000 army, it would be extremely difficult.
In the nearest Youzhou County City, Hu He, a general of Hu from Wanhu, sat in the lobby of the county government office. He was about forty years old and had several scars on his face. Although he was not armored, he had murderous aura.
There were several thousand households sitting on the left and right, and there were two Chinese people who translated languages, standing tremblingly.
At this moment, footsteps came from the hall, and one person came in. The man was also Qianhu, whose name was Yilede. As soon as he came in, he said loudly: "Wanhu, the situation outside has been found out. It was the Han army who entered the city one after another. Chengguo sent troops to take Youzhou, and we all know this person, Lu Gao."
Lu Gao led his army to resist, but even though the Khan personally fought, it was difficult to pull out quickly. After resisting for more than half a year, the Hu people knew his name. This made thousands of households frown immediately after saying this.
"We have only seven thousand people, and the number is not large. In this case, we should send people behind us and even ask for help from the Khan!" said Illed.
Huhe sighed and showed Ehrad a letter placed on the table.
Illed took the letter hesitantly, opened it and his face changed: "The Khan pursued Baru and has already confronted the Han people in Bingzhou?"
After reading all the contents, even more worry appeared on his face: "That is the case, will the Khan send troops to help?"
"Although the third prince Bige was ordered to govern Youzhou, the third prince had no experience. He had to try his best to drag it in this battle. The Khan's reinforcements could not arrive for a while, so he had to buy time!"
The eldest son Baru rebelled, the second son died young, the fourth son Huerbo died in battle, and the third son Bige was granted ten thousand households and led Youzhou.
However, Bige was only granted a thousand households before, but in fact he had only these troops in charge. His origin was even more problematic, that is, his mother was a prisoner Han woman, and she was not similar to Ascedes in terms of appearance. She was more with her mother, slightly weak, and was not favored by the Khan, and was also despised by the Hu generals. At this time, he was bound by Youzhou, but he was afraid that he could not control it.
After hearing this, Illed felt a little heavier, but he didn't say much. In fact, since Khan led his men to retreat to the grassland, Illed felt that the situation was hopeless.
Gone are the days when the Central Plains were invincible.
The death of the fourth prince made Khan lose one arm and the most suitable follower. In fact, Baru was rebelled and had three sons, but except for Bige, the two sons were not five years old, and they could not expect at least ten years.
No successors followed, and the battle was defeated in the Central Plains, and the grasslands were in chaos... Can Youzhou still be defended?
At this moment, the hall was depressed for a moment, and Ellard frowned and asked for a moment: "Wanhu, have the other counties contacted?"
"Hmph, you don't know the situation in Youzhou. Since the death of the Fourth Prince, many people have been slanderous. They are loyal to the Khan on the surface and keep making small moves behind their backs. They want to eradicate us early. They just contact you. Do you think they will lend a helping hand and listen to the orders of the Third Prince?" Huhe said with a sneer.
"The situation is urgent now. We are lost here. The Han people will drive in, and they will not hold on!" Illed said angrily.
"Do you think they don't know the result? Humph, but many people don't care whether Youzhou is lost or whether it was taken back by the Han people! In their hearts, at worst, they can go back to the grassland!" Huha said, "Hey, Youzhou has been washed several times, and there is no more oil and water."
Illed thought about it and had to admit that what his master Huhe said was very reasonable. Youzhou had been washed many times and the war was fierce. Therefore, the population is now only 40% before the war. It can be said that it is penniless, which has lost its value to many Hu people.
Huhe understood it at this time and sneered: "Don't worry about their thoughts, the Khan appointed me to guard this county. If you want to take this county from me, you will have to make the Han people pay the price of bleeding!"
After Huhe finished speaking, he looked at the generals, "...In the past, the Fourth Highness led us to charge into battle, and only the warriors were worthy of the people of the immortal world."
"Although the Fourth Prince returns to the Heaven of Changsheng, we are the only one who stays here. If the Han people easily take the city away, what will we see the Fourth Prince in the future?"
These people are all the followers of the Fourth Prince and Huha’s confidants. After Huhe said these words, they all had an indescribable feeling. They stood up and agreed: “Yes, we are willing to fight with the Han people.”
Huhe laughed, but there was no smile in his eyes.
The Hu general was so unruly that he was so uncontrollable that he was afraid that everyone here would have a strange intention. At this time, he spoke in the name of the fourth prince, and it seemed that he had gained a certain degree of respect and obedience.
At this moment, a personal soldier rushed into the outside world and whispered a few words to Huhe. Huhe's expression changed suddenly. Seeing that everyone was looking over, he said heavy: "Everyone, the Han army has appeared within thirty miles, and the troops are soon under the city. You immediately obey the orders of this master and prepare to defend the city!"
Hearing this, everyone's faces changed, they stopped talking, and listened to Huhe's assignment.
After the arrangement, Huhe said to Iled, "You go to the top of the city."
Illed nodded, knowing to see the truth and reality first, so he brought a group of personal soldiers to the city gate together and climbed the high building to look outside.
On the fifth day of June, the second year of Hongwu
There were constant large armies pouring in between the county town and the rivers, and large formations rolled in.
Standing on the tower and looking out, 30,000 people formed a large formation and continued to reach the flat ground. The team and the flag were out of bounds, and they were very organized. When they arrived at the guards and capital, they raised big flags to let the soldiers return to the team. Therefore, there was not much time, and straight army stood up one by one, arranged in a row.
Looking at this majesty, even the Hu general who had been through war let out a heavy breathing sound.
Although he was mentally prepared, Huhe still frowned when he saw the continuous army and the people shouting at the city gate.
At this time, the sound of war drums was continuous, but even such drums could not stop the sound of shouting below. He was proficient in Hu language. Although it was not easy to speak, the people in the city could still hear it very clearly.
These Han people are persuading to surrender!
It's really damn. These Han people were trying to surrender to him, and a ferocious expression appeared on Hu He's face.
"This is an insult to me!"
"There are at least 30,000 Han people, and there are only 7,000 people in the city. If they still have reinforcements..." Illed did not say the following words, but he said it very clearly.
The Han people had tens of thousands of reinforcements, even if they were trapped, they could trap these people to death.
Now is no longer the past, with a continuous stream of army, and it is said that there are millions of people. Apart from Youzhou, there are no more Hu people on this land.
The Hu guards of other counties in Youzhou were from various tribes. They deliberately stayed in Youzhou, but they were afraid they would be unable to resist.
In this case, what should we use to stop the Han people's attack?
Huhe's face turned pale and he looked down.
Huhe was born in a large tribe on the grassland and followed the Khanate when he was a teenager. Although there were many warriors on the grassland, he could not become an important official of the Khanate.
But the fourth prince appreciated him and promoted him step by step. In Huhe's opinion, such a kind of kindness of knowing and meeting can be repaid with his life!
This is the time to repay.
The dusk was deep, and although it was only afternoon, it was almost the same as dusk. Looking down from the city, I saw that the Dacheng Army was in full bloom and was arranged in a row of guards.
Soon after standing still, a drum sound came from the formation.
Amid the drums, the three thousand cavalry central army slowly moved forward. A general in the middle, wearing bright armor, came to the front of the military formation under the support of the elite soldiers, and was accompanied by many majestic generals.
The wind blew the flags and shook the sounds, and a large flag was erected high, with a big word "Lu" written on it.
"Wansheng! Wansheng!" Looking at the figure of the main general, the guard flag and the Duqi slapped their weapons and shouted loudly. For a moment, the whole voice rushed to Yunxiao.
Seeing this, Huhe's face was solemn, and his eyes were terrified, but this expression flashed: "Lu Gao, are you back? Are you back from your hometown?"
"Wanhu, this person is really back, I'm afraid..."
"Best, what are you afraid of when you destroy this city?" Huhe said angrily, his tone of coldness: "Do you want to surrender?"
No matter who comes, it doesn't make sense to him.
Yes, there are tens of thousands of troops in Youzhou, but they have lost their backbone and have endless internal struggles. Can you still expect unity to fight?
But the responsibilities given by the Great Khan and His Highness the Fourth Prince made him determined to guard the death.
"General, it seems that he doesn't plan to surrender!" He came behind General Lu Gao and said with a sneer.
Lu Gao looked up at the city. It was possible that he really didn't want to destroy the city in his hometown, but the Hu people refused to surrender and had to attack.
"Camp and order the Pili car to be assembled quickly and must be used tomorrow morning!"
"promise!"
Youzhou.Anping Port
The First Fleet was getting closer, the sun shone brightly in the early summer in the sky, the sea water was shining with sunlight, and the golden light was flowing. On the hundreds of warships, the sailors were busy checking their weapons and sail poles, preparing to fight.
On the platform, Lu Suhai's eyes were bright, and he looked at the few patrol boats and turned in panic. He laughed and said, "Hu Renguo is a Hu person. Not only is he not good at water warfare, but he has no strategy. He doesn't know how to guard against the navy here."
In fact, this is not much stupidity. By the way, on earth, until the Qing Dynasty, there was no effective coastal defense.
"Grandmaster, the ships have been prepared and requested an order!" At this time, someone came forward to report.
"Eliminate enemy ships, enter the port, and lock up all intersections!"
"promise!"
Chapter completed!
