Chapter 428: Desperate
Yulin, the city I visited a few years ago, has long since lost any traces of the fire. As an important city in Donghu, a bustling commercial location connecting the Central Plains and Donghu, its self-healing ability is indeed very strong.
Walking on the somewhat muddy streets, Gao Yuan inspected the huge prey he had harvested. Yulin is about twice the size of Fufeng, but the infrastructure in the city is far inferior to Fufeng. When it rains, the streets are muddy. Well, a light rain two days ago turned the whole street into a muddy road.
Although the road is poor, the shops on both sides are one after another. After more than ten days of war, the merchants hiding in the shops finally started to open one after another. They come from all over the world and sell various goods here. War is for them , perhaps even a good opportunity to make a fortune.
The Donghu people in the city had long since fled. Most of the shops that were not open were the property of the Donghu people.
The things of the Donghu people are their trophies.
The soldiers were very happy, because the expected idea of a bloody battle in Yulin did not become a reality. In this important town of Yulin, there were only 5,000 Tieling cavalry from Alundai stationed in it, and it seemed that they were attacked by the army. Influenced by the previous Hua'er camp battle, they simply resisted and then fled.
Everything gave Gao Yuan a very unreal feeling. After taking Yulin, they can turn to attack Helin, and realize the pre-war planned plan of rendezvous under Helin City. But Gao Yuan never moved in Yulin.
This is not like the Donghu people's style. Gao Yuan has fought against the Donghu people for several years. I have never seen such ungrateful Donghu people. Even in Hua'erying, those Donghu people who were besieged on all sides fought to the death, but here, what's the matter?
Alundai still has five thousand soldiers, and in terms of strength, he is no worse than himself. Why did he flee without a fight?
Gao Yuan felt that the front was dark and full of mist, which made him unable to see clearly. The one after another success news from the direction of the Central Army made him feel like a dream. Could it be that the Donghu people who have always been extremely powerful in his heart are just like this? Was the country simply destroyed by Dayan?
The strong anxiety made Gao Yuan feel bad. That is extremely annoying. That feeling of being out of control is worse than anything else. He has fought many battles, but every time, the progress of the battle is basically in his calculations, even in Yuyang, even if he is fighting fiercely with Zhao Guo's army. Even though he was only an inconspicuous supporting role in that big battle involving more than 100,000 people, everything was within his expectations, and he could foresee what would happen next. How should he respond, but now. This feeling was gone, and helplessness filled his mind at this moment.
He tried his best to stabilize his emotions,
He is the soul of the Zhengdong Army, and he is their courage. Once he shows bad emotions, it is easy to infect others.
It is very difficult to condense such things as military spirit, but it is very easy to break him up.
Pressed down by this irritability, he wandered around in Yulin City, trying to find the answer from here. Now, he is not in a hurry to march to Helin, and after taking Yulin, he has completed the pre-war layout, and Helin City is under attack. , Tens of thousands of Yan troops gathered, not bad for thousands of people like myself, and I also had a lot of excuses and excuses, not to mention the countless small-scale contacts before, just Zhenyuan, Huaerying, and Yulin. In the tough battle, the East Conquering Army suffered great losses. Now that they stopped to recuperate, Zhou Yuan had nothing to say.
It's not that I'm not coming, I'm just coming later.
Unknowingly, Gao Yuan walked into the gate of the Donghu people's city guard in this city.
"I've seen the general!" Several Zhengdong troops guarding the door saluted Gao Yuan.
Gao Yuan nodded, and stepped into this yamen that he had visited on the day he captured Yulin. He always felt that something was wrong here. Wandering around the yamen for a while, looking at the neat and clean yamen, and then thinking of those treasuries in Yulin City, Gao Yuan rang in his mind, as if something was broken at this moment Yes, the barrier surrounding him was instantly broken.
He thought, clean, yes, clean.
In a city that has been attacked by the enemy, why are the yamen here so neat and clean? All the important things have been moved away, and the unimportant things have been neatly stacked. Among those treasuries, even the money held in the treasury has not been moved. He left, but there was not a grain of food. Where did the food go? It was moved away in advance. If Alundai withdrew in a hurry, his best way would be to burn the treasury with a fire. clean.
But he didn't! Why?
Because he knows that he will come back. These things stay here, and he can’t move them away. Even if he moves away, he has the confidence to get them back. Where does his confidence come from?
Gao Yuan yelled, turned around and walked out, seeing the guard at the door, he yelled angrily, "No need to guard, we all go back to the barracks!"
Several soldiers were puzzled, but seeing Gao Yuan's expression, they didn't dare to make a sound, and quickly left here under the leadership of the post chief.
This is a trap, definitely a trap. Now Gao Yuan just doesn't know how big this trap is. Is it only for himself, or for all the Yan army? Even Yulin has been given up, how much appetite does it take?
Gao Yuan strode towards the barracks, and as soon as he reached the gate, he saw Yan Haibo rushing out.
"General, you are back, Cao Tianci is here!" Yan Haibo said loudly.
"A gift from God?" Gao Yuan was taken aback.
"Yes, Godsend has come, but on the way he met Donghu's scouts and fought fiercely, and he was seriously injured." Yan Haibo looked at Gao Yuan with endless doubts in his eyes.
The suspicion in Gao Yuan's heart was confirmed again, and his face became even more gloomy, "Xiao Yanzi, call all the generals to come to me immediately."
In the room, the doctor accompanying the army was bandaging Cao Tianci's wounds. As soon as he stepped into the door, Gao Yuan saw dozens of scars on Cao Tianci's body.
"General!" Cao Tianci stood up all of a sudden, grinning his teeth in pain as he touched the wound.
"Tianci, what's the matter?" Gao Yuan pressed Cao Tianci's shoulders with both hands, and pushed him to sit down again.
"General, the trap, this is a big trap. Our rear, the rear of the Central Army, has been cut off. The Donghu cavalry are hiding in the winding mountains." Cao Tianci's face turned pale. The sentry cavalry, unable to bear Cao Tianci's torment, finally revealed the truth.
Listening to Cao Tianci's narration, Gao Yuan finally understood that the entire Dayan army had fallen into a great predicament. No, this was not a predicament, but a desperate situation.
"Which tribe do those Donghu people belong to?" He asked Cao Tianci with a gloomy face.
"Agu tribe!" Cao Tianci said the first tribe, which made Gao Yuan's heart feel cold, and then Cao Tianci said the names of several tribes in one breath. This is all the information obtained by Yan Jun. Pro-Thok clans shown in , which have been killed by Thorpe.
All the internal strife among the Eastern Hu was a trick to deceive people. Zhou Yuan was fooled, and the entire country of Yan was fooled. The Donghu people are so generous, in order to lure the Yan army into the bait, even the head of the chief of the Agu tribe was willing to use it as bait.
Gao Yuan finally understood why the Central Route Army was able to drive straight in, but the left and right wings of himself and Zhang Shubao were blocked desperately. It turned out that the Donghu people needed the space of two hundred miles between themselves and the Central Route Army, and they used this space , inserted between the two armies, and hid in the Panshan Mountains.
The Panshan mountain range is so large that even if tens of thousands of troops are hidden in it, they will not be easily discovered. What's more, these Donghu troops who came in are all tribes that have long ceased to exist in the Yan people's plan.
Presumably now, the Donghu people will immediately launch a large-scale counterattack against Zhenyuan, Panshan Fortress, and even Liaoning Wei, besieging the Yan army between Liaoning Wei and Helin, and then Weng Zhong will catch the turtle.
Although the Yan army still has more than 100,000 troops, without food and supplies, it will not last long, and the war will turn into a one-sided massacre.
With a bang, Gao Yuan punched heavily on the table, what a clever calculation, what a clever trap. Thorpe, is it so powerful? Perhaps it was Miranda's wrist?
Gao Yuan finally realized the power of these veteran heroes.
Sun Xiao, Meng Chong, Zheng Xiaoyang, Naha, Yan Haibo, He Lanxiong and other generals rushed in. Looking at the generals under his command, Gao Yuanchang took a deep breath, "Everyone, our retreat has been cut off, not only us, but the whole The Yan army has been cut off, and we will have to struggle to survive."
Gao Yuan's words stunned all the generals. The transition from a big victory to a big defeat was too fast, which made everyone a little uncomfortable.
Simply recounted the information Cao Tianci brought, and seeing everyone's unbelievable expressions, Gao Yuan sighed. Fortunately, he made some other arrangements before the battle, otherwise, this time, the whole army might really be wiped out here .
With a bang, the map was spread out, and the generals surrounded them.
"Everyone, now that our retreat is cut off, it is impossible to go back. Arundai must have not gone far. He must be watching us nearby. Not only him, but maybe other Donghu troops. The reason why they Haven't done anything yet, there is a great possibility that they want to wait for us to go to Helin, and they will ambush us halfway. Therefore, we will definitely not be able to go to Helin, even if we can go, we will not be able to go , the main force of the Donghu people must be going to deal with the central route army. Their palace guards and the troops of those big tribes must all gather near Helin. Wherever we go, we are throwing ourselves into a trap. Follow the way." He raised his head, "Our arrangements before the battle still worked, but the trick I used to guard against Zhou Yuan's tricks became our life-saving straw by accident. It's unimaginable."
"Break out in the direction of Jingyuan, the infantry and reinforcements are waiting for us near Jingyuan, arrive at Jingyuan, cross the Liao River, cross the prairie, let's go home!" Gao Yuan said loudly.
