Chapter 445: Beili was defeated and Huyan Liancheng panicked!
Qiao Zhen finally lived up to expectations. Just when Gu Jingzhi and others were fighting hard, he appeared on the battlefield with his men.
Nangong Shouyi was completely defeated. Out of 180,000 soldiers, only a hundred or so cavalrymen were able to break through the encirclement.
He no longer had the heart to explore why Qiao Zhen appeared on the battlefield, because with his defeat, the offense and defense between Beili and Daxia...changed!
After joining forces with Qiao Zhen, the number of troops under Gu Jingzhi's command has been reduced from the original 21 to , of which are in Beichuan Prefecture.
In the first battle, 130,000 men were killed or wounded. Fortunately, 230,000 men were also annihilated on the Beili side. The 10,000 men stationed in Yunshan will sooner or later become a piece of meat in his mouth, depending on when he wants to eat them.
The siege of Yunzhou has finally been lifted. Now all we have to consider is the 100,000 troops under the city of Yunzhou!
……
Yunzhou is located north of the camp.
Huyan Liancheng was always a little uneasy. Nangong Shouyi had been out with his men for more than ten days, but no news had been sent back, and it was even more unknown whether they had won or lost.
It seemed like Nangong Shouyi had completely forgotten the agreement to eliminate Gu Jingzhi first and then come back to deal with the Yunzhou army.
Since no one is attacking them, the defenders in Yunzhou City will naturally not leave the city easily.
The Yunzhou Army in the city has reached its limit. According to reports from spies in the city, a large-scale food looting incident has occurred among the Yunzhou Army. The entire Yunzhou is in chaos. The Yunzhou Army quickly loses support from the people. Even if they do not go out, the people in the city will probably rebel sooner or later.
However, there has been no news from Nangong Shouyi for such a long time, and he is thinking about whether to lead the army to attack the city tomorrow. After all, the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable the battle situation will be.
Huyan Liancheng lingered for a long time and was about to issue the order to attack the city tomorrow when someone suddenly hurried in from outside the tent.
"General, something bad is going to happen!"
What?
Huyan Liancheng immediately thought of Nangong Shouyi. He stood up suddenly and asked, "But what happened to the general?"
"It's not the general, it's Qionghuazhou!"
"Qionghuazhou was destroyed?"
Huyan Liancheng was startled and asked, "Didn't Fan Chong bring his men to support them? Even if every member of his Great Xia Army is a god of war, Fan Chong has over 100,000 men under his command. How could they be so fast?"
"Uh……"
The messenger was stunned for a moment, then realized that Huyan Liancheng had misunderstood. He said with a smile: "General, Qionghuazhou was not captured. It was the Great Xia Army!"
"..."
Huyan Liancheng was immediately annoyed. He shouted, "What exactly is going on? Stop hesitating and tell me everything at once!"
"Uh!"
The soldier shrank his neck and said cautiously, "General, the 200,000 men of Daxia are completely fake. There are only 30,000 men. They used tricks to deceive our spies. The real number is 30,000!"
"Also, the so-called Lingzhou Army and Daizhou Army didn't actually show up in full force. There were only 5,000 of them, using the same method to confuse the main army, so..."
"what?"
Huyan Liancheng's face changed drastically. He grabbed the military newspaper and read it carefully.
Soon, he slumped in his chair.
"It's over!"
"It's over!"
He never expected that Qiao Zhen's 200,000 troops and the armies of Lingzhou and Daizhou, totaling 250,000 people, the so-called support for Qionghuazhou, was actually just a trick of the enemy to cover up the truth.
More than 200,000 people disappeared right under their noses, leaving only 35,000 people pretending to be there in two places?
Huyan Liancheng looked at the military newspaper stupidly.
After a while, he said with difficulty: "Gu Jingzhi, Gu Jingzhi, so cunning..."
First, they attacked Hou Yong, causing them to mistakenly believe that there were disagreements within the Great Xia army, and also confirming Gu Jingzhi's intention to attack Qionghua Prefecture. Then they were misled by the imperial edict of the Great Xia court and Zhou Quan's twelve golden medals.
The results of it?
Qiao Zhen just took 200,000 people for a stroll in Yuzhou, and then used a trick to conceal the truth.
Nangong Shouyi has mobilized all available troops and has more manpower than Gu Jingzhi, but this also means that Tongji has been lost.
After all, Tongji is the fastest route to Yuzhou. Gu Jingzhi has calculated that it is impossible not to open up the passage between Yuzhou and Yunzhou. In other words, Qiaozhen...
He has appeared on the battlefield where Nangong Shouyi and Gu Jingzhi are fighting!
Beili’s strategic goal... has been completely lost!
"Quick, quickly mobilize the troops, leave Yunzhou tonight, and go rescue the general!"
Almost in an instant, Huyan Liancheng figured out all of Gu Jingzhi's calculations, and also knew that Nangong Shouyi was probably facing an unprecedented crisis at this moment.
Daxia cannot do without Li Sheng, but Beili also cannot do without Nangong Shouyi. Otherwise, Beili, sandwiched between Daxia and Li Yue, will no longer have any hope.
As soon as Huyan Liancheng opened his mouth, a general nearby asked, "General, if we leave, what will happen to the Yunzhou army..."
"Never mind, I can't care anymore!"
Huyan Liancheng said, "I'm afraid the general has already been defeated. If we don't take action, I'm afraid hundreds of thousands of Beili troops will be buried here!"
"Quick, go gather people..."
Huyan Liancheng suddenly shut up halfway through his words because he heard noise and shouts coming from outside!
"What's going on outside?"
"General, yes, it was the Great Xia Army that attacked the camp..."
Huyan Liancheng was furious: "Where did the Great Xia army come from?"
At the same time, his heart skipped a beat. Was the general really defeated?
Do not!
impossible!
Even if the general was defeated, it would be impossible for Gu Jingzhi to launch a surprise attack on Yunzhou City so quickly.
The messenger shouted, "It's Daxia's Lingzhou Army and Daizhou Army... They've already charged in!"
Lingzhou? Daizhou?
The camp suddenly became noisy. Huyan Liancheng felt a little annoyed and said, "What about Lingzhou and Daizhou? They only have a few tens of thousands of people. How dare they attack our Beili camp? We can just drive them out!"
However, at this time, another person ran in.
"General, something terrible has happened. The gates of Yunzhou City are wide open. The Yunzhou army has left the city and is heading towards our camp..."
Huyan Liancheng was stunned and became dumbfounded.
"It's over, it's over..."
Huyan Liancheng's lips trembled slightly. When the Yunzhou Army showed up at this time, he didn't think that these more than 100,000 people were out to die.
just,
Didn't the spies in the city say that the Yunzhou army had completely run out of food and that they were looting the civilians' food everywhere? Soon, these more than 100,000 people would completely lose their fighting power, and then...
"What happened?"
"Didn't they say that the Yunzhou army has completely run out of food and is now stealing food from the people?"
"Didn't you say that there has been a mutiny in the Yunzhou army and that civil unrest will soon break out?"
"Didn't you say that the people in the city couldn't bear it anymore and were preparing to rebel?"
"Now, how dare they open the city to fight?"
Huyan Liancheng's eyes were red, and he looked at the Beili general in the tent with a crazy look.
