Chapter 434: Zhou Yuan's Decision
In just a few breaths, Zhou Yuan seemed to have aged ten years. He fell from the peak of his life to the lowest. The time he took was only the distance from the mountain to the camp.
There was deathly silence in the big tent, and none of the three wanted to speak.
"Where are those soldiers who came over the mountain now?" Finally, Zhou Yuan spoke first. As a person who has experienced many seas and stood on the top of the mountain to watch the scenery for a long time, after a short period of distraction, he has already begun to think about what to do next. Done.
"I locked them up in secret. The soldiers guarding them are all my confidantes. There will never be any news leaked out." Zhou Yu replied, "If this news leaks out at this time, the army will definitely be in chaos."
"Kill, kill them all!" Zhou Yuan waved his hand.
Zhou Yu nodded, walked to the door of the tent, called Zhou Kang in, whispered a few words in his ear, and Zhou Kang flew away immediately.
"How much food and grass is left in the army, and how many days can it last?" Since Liaoning Wei has been besieged, no follow-up food and grass will be brought up. How much food is stored in the army has become a matter of life and death.
"Taiwei, less than half a month's food!" Tao Qigong's voice trembled.
Zhou Yuan glanced at him and waved his hand, "Now we have only two ways. The first way is to retreat immediately and try to break through the opponent's encirclement and break out. The second way is to do our best to win within half a month. Helin City. Put it to death and survive."
"Taiwei, I think it is reasonable to retreat immediately. Now General Kumamoto is launching a fierce attack on Helin City, which has attracted a large number of enemies for us. As long as we act quickly, we should be able to break through the enemy's blockade." Tao Qigong said hastily.
Zhou Yu shook his head, "Taiwei, if this is the case, the Donghu people can immediately sense what we want to do. At this time, everything has surfaced, and there is no need for the Donghu people to hide it. They The main force, that is, their royal palace guards, has not moved all this time, just waiting for this moment, and retreating means that we will be marching and suffer endless pursuit from the opponent. I am afraid that we will not be able to leave When we arrived at Liaoning Wei, the whole army was already defeated. I agree with the second plan. I will do my best to put them to death and survive. After a few years, they can make a comeback, but the Donghu people don't have such confidence."
Zhou Yuan nodded slightly, "That's what I mean too. If you can win Helin City, you will be able to survive from a desperate situation. If Xianyu turns over, if you can't, cough, if you can't, it will naturally be ashes to ashes, and dust to dust."
"Taiwei!" Tao Qigong took a step forward, wanting to say something more, Zhou Yuan waved his hand. "Qigong, you go to the logistics camp to take a look and count our last capital."
"Yes!" Tao Qigong bowed unwillingly to Zhou Yuan,
Turned around and walked out.
Zhou Yuan closed his eyes and remained silent, while Zhou Yu patiently waited aside.
"Zhou Yu, tomorrow, I will take the main force to Helin City. I will attack with all my strength, and you stay behind. Tomorrow night, I will bring the main force of the 20,000 Chinese army. First move in some directions, then turn to Liaoning Wei, and strive to be able to After breaking out of the encirclement and meeting with Hu Yanchao, don't think about anything, and immediately return to the country of Yan." After a long silence, Zhou Yuan said suddenly.
Zhou Yu was startled for a moment, and then shocked, "Taiwei, how can this work? If I take away the main force of the 20,000 Chinese army, how can I still defeat Helin City? Besides, at this moment, how can I abandon the Taiwei and leave?" go?"
"If there are more than 20,000 people, He Lin still can't fight down." Zhou Yuan sighed, "I have been fighting geese all my life, and when I get old, I was pecked out by geese. I lost my fame all my life."
"Taiwei, if you lead the 20,000 Chinese troops to break through, I will stay and lead the battle against Helin." Zhou Yu's eyes were shining.
"That's impossible. If I leave, the morale of the army will be broken! It won't be able to contain the main force of the enemy army for you." Zhou Yuan chuckled, "Thinking about it now, I have become the main target of the Donghu people. "
"Then it's better to let General Tao lead the team to break through, and I will stay with the Taiwei."
"Not to mention." Zhou Yuan sneered, "Don't say that Tao Qigong's talent is far inferior to yours, even his performance just now disappointed me very much. His mind was disturbed, and he handed over the main force of the 20,000 Chinese army to him." , I’m afraid I won’t be able to take even one person back. Zhou Yu, needless to say, the 20,000 people are the capital for my Dayan’s comeback in the future, and as much as I can bring back.”
"Taiwei!" Zhou Yu was stunned for a while, but at this moment, he felt ashamed and regretful.
"What's the matter with you?" Looking at Zhou Yu's ugly face, Zhou Yuan said indifferently: "As a general, you should be willing to be willing, willing to be willing, and only if you are willing to be willing. Although we lost this battle, with my national strength, Dayan , finally come back one day. Why are you so childish?"
"Captain, I..." Zhou Yu opened his mouth, but changed his words when he reached the edge of his mouth, "Captain, Hu Yanchao is timid and cautious, can he defend Liaoning Guard?"
"Timid and cautious?" Zhou Yuan laughed loudly, "You misread him, his heart is ruthless! Don't worry, although Liaoning Wei is besieged, he will definitely be able to defend Liaoning Wei. As long as you can get there, If you can join him, the countless logistics camps outside the city must be lost, but there are still a few in the city, which are enough for you to complete your supplies and break out. As for how much you can go back in the end, it only depends on destiny. But I believe in you."
"Liaoxi Zhang Shouyue knows what happened here, and will definitely do his best to come to the rescue, so you don't have to worry too much."
Zhou Yu felt bitter in his heart. At this moment, Zhang Shouyue was afraid that Zhang Shouyue had already died, and Zhang Junbao's hollow carrot was left. Hearing this, he must have panicked, and there would be no reinforcements coming.
But these words can't be said no matter what.
"Yes, Taiwei, the final general will live up to the Taiwei's entrustment, and bring the 20,000 people back to Yan Kingdom." Zhou Yu solemnly knelt down in front of Zhou Yuan, and knocked his head three times.
"If you can go back, you must be the future captain of Yan Kingdom." Zhou Yuan said in a deep voice, "You have to remember that if Yan Kingdom wants to have the power to compete for world hegemony, it is as powerful as Qin Zhaochu and other great powers. Liaodong must be conquered, and Donghu must be destroyed. On this basis, we can tolerate Zhao Qi and other neighboring countries and make compromises until we destroy Donghu before turning around and dealing with them. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. National enmity lasts fifty years, so what's the point of a hundred years?"
"The general will understand."
"The main force of my central army is like this, the left and right wings, I'm afraid it's over!" Zhou Yuan pondered for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "Just two days ago, I was still thinking about how to use this big victory to get rid of Gao Yuan I never thought that the Donghu people would do it for me, but this son is cunning, he might be able to escape with his life, Zhou Yu, you have to remember, this man is ambitious and must not be left behind."
"Taiwei!" Zhou Yu raised his head, a little surprised.
"You don't need to say more!" Zhou Yuan waved his hand resolutely, "I know what you want to say, Gao Yuan is indeed extremely talented, and the country of Yan has suffered a great loss this time. Such a general will naturally help Dayan Rise again, but I, Zhou Yuan, have seen many people in the past decades. What kind of people have never seen before. The higher the talent of this man, the greater the harm. He will become Dayan's gravedigger. If he dies this time, it will be settled. If he is not dead, if he wants to devise all kinds of schemes, he must be killed, so as to prevent future troubles."
"Yes, Captain!" Zhou Yu nodded heavily.
"Okay, I don't have anything to say, you go down and get ready, I want to be alone." Zhou Yuan closed his eyes.
Zhou Yu stood quietly in the tent for a moment, then turned around and left the tent.
At this time, Hu Yanchao, whom Zhou Yu was worried about, was standing on the city wall of Liaoning Guard with his helmet on and a long knife in his hand, looking at the not far below the city. Carrying ladders, pushing siege engines, rams and other siege equipment, the prisoners who came tremblingly had murderous looks in their eyes.
These captives looked desperate, and there was silence above the city, only countless arrows shining with cold light, aimed at the besiegers below the city.
"Don't kill us, we were also forced." I don't know it was the civilian husband, who suddenly opened his mouth and shouted. Like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, countless people among the captives began to shout, calling for friends and neighbors, calling for their uncle, begging for mercy. On the city wall, the hands of the soldiers began to tremble. Among the besiegers below, there were their acquaintances, their friends, and even their relatives and brothers.
"Brothers!" Hu Yanchao roared; "At this moment, they are no longer our comrades, not our brothers and relatives. They are enemies. They are acting as pawns of the Donghu people and want to break the Liaoning Acropolis. I Hu Don’t need to say too much, these people will definitely not survive. If you want to die like them under the swords and arrows of the Donghu people, then you don’t need to do anything. Wait for them to climb into the city, wait for the Donghu people to come in, and even you Kill them too, you know the means of the Donghu people. If you want to live, then don’t hesitate, don’t be timid, whoever dares to approach the city wall, whoever dares to attack the city wall, kill Wuhe and shoot arrows!”
Hu Yanchao roared loudly, and after a brief silence, a bed crossbow burst out of the air and shot into the crowd below the city, and immediately opened a bloody alley from the crowd. After the arrow broke the silence, On the city, countless bed crossbows and feathered arrows fell from the sky like pouring rain, and below the city, blood flowed like a river. These civilians didn't even have the most basic military qualities, and they didn't have the means to protect themselves on the battlefield. Under the thunder of the city, they suffered heavy casualties in an instant. Amidst the sound of crying, they turned around and fled.
Just escaped from the range of bows and arrows on the city, they were greeted by a denser rain of arrows from Donghu people, "Forward, attack the city, and those who retreat, die!" (To be continued.
