My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 162
Xuanfu, the most important town in the northwest of Daxia.

In the early days of the founding of the Xia Dynasty, Xuanfu had a total of 15 horse infantry officers and soldiers and 450 war horses.

There is one general soldier, seven generals, two officers in the camp, 31 guards, and two foremans.

From the above data, we can see how powerful Xuanfu was in its heyday.

In Xuanfu during this period, the Mongols did not even dare to get close, let alone attack Xuanfu.

But times have changed, and over the past 70 years, the once powerful Xuanfu has gradually declined.

Until the fall of Xuanfu some time ago, the defenders of Xuanfu were not even [-]% of what they were in their heyday, and then they were captured by the Mongols.

With the fall of Xuanfu, more than [-] people in Xuanfu also suffered. The Mongols looted, burned and killed wantonly in the city, making the people of Xuanfu miserable.

It was not until Tuotaobuhua moved the royal court to Xuanfu that the Mongols moderated their behavior slightly. Moreover, more than ten days ago, after the Mongols took more than [-] plundered people to Xuanfu, the entire Xuanfu It began to fall into a kind of abnormal prosperity again.

At this time, due to the absence of Tuotuo Buhua and the fact that the royal court's troops were too small, in addition to two thousand Xue Yong's troops, there were only more than 6000 underage youth troops.

Therefore, the Mongolian high-level officials slapped their foreheads and issued an order. All Han people could only go out to work or buy things from midnight to noon every day. The rest of the time must stay at home. Otherwise, if they violate the ban, they will be killed by patrolling soldiers without mercy.

In view of this ban, although it is daytime, the entire Xuan Mansion looks like a ghost. Except for the patrolling soldiers, there is almost no pedestrian on the street in the entire city.

A drone hovered quietly over 500 meters above the city of Xuanfu, slowly passing by at a speed of dozens of kilometers per hour.

It only took more than half an hour to explore the entire Xuanfu situation, and even drew a detailed troop deployment map.

Where the troops are strong and where the defenses are weak are clearly marked.

After the drone hovered over Xuanfu for nearly an hour, it flew away quietly. The Mongols were not aware of its arrival at all.

Outside a valley more than ten kilometers away from Xuanfu, Jia Yu summoned a group of generals.

He took out a freshly baked Xuanfu defense map and placed it on the ground.

"Everyone... take a look, this is the survey and defense map of Xuan Mansion.

This is where the royal court of Mongolia is located. It is defended by the most elite Xue Yong army of the Mongols, about 2000 people. The main task of this army is to protect Tuo Tuo Bu Hua Keduna Mu Zhong and his family. Not involved in the defense of the city wall.

There are only more than 6000 young soldiers who are actually responsible for guarding Xuanfu. In addition to patrolling and guarding the entire Xuanfu, there are only about 4000 troops actually involved in guarding the city walls.

In other words, each city wall in Xuanfu was defended by only 1000 people.

Guys, do you know what this means? "

Looking at Jia Yu's bright eyes, all the officers present became excited.

How long is the perimeter of the Xuanfu city wall?
The answer is twelve kilometers.

To be specific, it is 12000 meters.

In other words, on average, each Mongolian soldier has to defend a 30-meter-long area.

In the era of cold weapons, this distance was very critical.

As long as the attackers concentrate their forces to attack a section of the city wall, it won't take long for the defenders to fall into a situation where they lose sight of the other, leading to the collapse of the entire defense line.

"Sir, is this true?" Xie Youyuan shouted in excitement without thinking. .

The answer was Wu Yunchun's sudden shudder.

"You coward, if you were a fake adult, would you use it to deceive us?"

Seeing Xie Youyuan being beaten, the officers around him burst into laughter.

This Xie Youyuan's mouth is always one step ahead of his brain, so it's no wonder he gets beaten up often.

Jia Yu just smiled and said nothing about the quarrels among her subordinates.

The way of civil and military affairs is relaxed.

Serious, lively, united and tense, these are the slogans put forward by great men, and they will not be outdated even if they are placed in another time and space.

After everyone had laughed, Jia Yu continued: "According to my estimate, we have at least three to five days to attack Xuan Mansion.

In these few days, we can launch an attack on Xuanfu with confidence and boldness.

Now, everyone can speak freely and express their opinions. "

Wu Yunchun stared at the survey map for a while before pointing to a section of the city and saying, "Sir, I think we can launch an attack from the west wall.

The city here had just been captured some time ago. Although the Mongols repaired it in a hurry, the effect was not good.

I think that as long as we concentrate all the artillery on attacking this section of the city wall, we can blow this section of the city down again in less than half an hour.

At that time, the whole army will launch a collective attack. In this way, they will be able to enter the city within two hours and regain the Xuan Mansion! "

When he said this, Wu Yunchun's eyes were shining, and everyone around him was breathing quickly.

"The credit for recovering Xuanzang is huge. Even if it is divided evenly among every soldier, it is a great credit.

They followed Jia Yu through life and death and fought bloody battles. Where did they come from?
Don't you just hope that you can have a wife and a son, and honor your ancestors? "

Jia Yu did not reply, but looked around at everyone and asked, "Where are you guys? Do you agree with Lao Wu's opinion?"

After everyone thought for a while, Xie Youyuan said: "My lord, I feel that what Commander Wu said is reasonable. There is no place that is easier to capture than this part of the city."

Jia Yu continued to ask: "You just want to capture the city, what happens after it is captured?"

"After the capture?"

Everyone looked at each other and were very puzzled.

An armored officer suddenly said: "My lord... I may understand what you mean. My lord, what you are thinking about is not how to capture the city, but the royal court and the Tuotuobuhua family members located in the city, right?"

Jia Yu looked at the officer with approval in his eyes: "Not bad... What is your name and what is your official position?"

Hearing Jia Yu's question, the officer hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "I have a humble position, Gu Ji, who was in charge of the Thousand Households of Daodun Camp at that time."

"Gu Ji, right? I remember you."

Jia Yu nodded and continued: "Since you said that, do you have any good ideas? You might as well tell me."

Gu Ji cupped his hands, walked to the survey map, pointed to the middle and said, "Since Mr. Jia has spoken, I am humble enough to speak out my humble opinion.

If what I said is wrong, please correct me, Mr. Jia and other gentlemen.

My lords, please see, this was originally the General Military Mansion, and now it must be home to the most important people in the royal court.

What Sir Wu just said about launching the attack from the west wall is right. I estimate that with our current strength, we can knock down that broken city wall in no more than an hour.

As long as the city wall collapses, Xuan Mansion will open its doors and let us come in and out.

What we have to consider at this time is not how to capture Xuanfu, but how to block the four city gates to prevent the Tatars from escaping.

It's just that our troops are still limited. If the four city gates use troops equally, it will inevitably lead to insufficient troops, and the Tatars can easily rush out.

Moreover, all Tatars, men, women, old and young, are good at riding horses. As long as they are allowed to escape from the city, the dragon will enter the sea and will never be captured again. "Speaking of this, Xie Youyuan said impatiently: "Lao Gu, what you have been talking about for a long time is nonsense, and you have done nothing at all.

Be careful, take out any bezoars and dog treasures as soon as possible, don't waste your time. "

"Snapped!"

There was another crisp sound, and Xie Youyuan was seen covering the back of his head and looking at Jia Yu aggrievedly.

"My lord, are you even going to hit me?"

"You're the only one who talks a lot of weird things."

Jia Yu glared at him and said, "If you have anything to say, can you wait until Gu Qianhu finishes speaking before speaking."

"Oh!"

Seeing Xie Youyuan lowering his head aggrievedly, everyone smiled.

This guy's temper probably won't change in his lifetime.

Gu Ji also realized that he had to speak faster, and said quickly: "I thought that there must be many women, old and weak in the Tartar royal court.

Once the Xuanfu falls, those Mongolian princes and nobles will definitely escape as soon as possible. At that time, we only need to prepare an elite cavalry of two to 3000 people, and send people to keep an eye on the east, south, and north. city ​​gate.

As long as you find a large group of people leaving the city, report it immediately. If you send this cavalry to catch up, you will definitely be able to capture the important figures in the royal court. "

"it is good!"

Jia Yu was the first to applaud.

The eyes he looked at Gu Ji were full of admiration. He really didn't expect that he would have such a brainy person under his command.

He immediately made a decision and said: "In that case, I will temporarily hand over the cavalry left by Feng Ziying to your command. If you can really take down the royal court this time, I will personally give you a note." great merit!"

"Thank you sir!"

After receiving Jia Yu's promise, Gu Ji bowed to him excitedly.

And everyone looked at Gu Ji with a hint of envy.

If Gu Ji can really defeat the royal court in this battle, he will definitely gain the respect of Jia Yu, and this guy's career will be smooth sailing in the future.

"So are you."

Jia Yu turned around and looked at everyone.

"As long as the Xuanfu is restored, the good days of the great summer will be as long as the tail of a rabbit, and the day when our class teacher will return to the court will be fast.

At that time, His Majesty will reward you based on your merits, and your contribution will definitely be indispensable.

But the specific reward you can get depends on your efforts.

The only thing I can do is to truthfully report your merits to His Majesty, and then everyone will be promoted, made rich, and married! "

Everyone bowed and thanked: "Thank you for your humble position, sir!"

"Okay... now let's discuss the next task..."

…………

As night fell, the moon hid behind the clouds, causing the entire land to be pitch black.

Although there is an angry wind lantern hung every fifty steps on the city wall of Xuan Mansion, the dim light can only illuminate the surrounding area of ​​twenty or thirty steps at best, and it cannot be seen any further away.

Moreover, due to the serious shortage of manpower and the fact that no one expected that Daxia soldiers and horses would cross Tongguan and attack Xuanfu, the Mongols were not prepared at all.

Just like the city wall on the west side, there are only one or two sentries every few hundred meters. Even these sentries have no sense of vigilance at all. They are either dozing or chatting.

Every move of the sentries on the city wall was clearly transmitted to the control screen panel in Jia Yu's hand by the drone overhead.

After commanding the drone to circle the city wall, Jia Yu jumped off the slope and looked at Gu Ji, who had been standing below, covered in armor, holding a round shield and a long sword, and a long bow hanging behind his back, and said lightly ask.

"Gu Qianhu, do you remember what I just said?"

Gu Ji nodded: "Sir, I remember my humble position. There is only one sentry every three hundred steps on the city wall, and most of the sentries above are sleeping or chatting.

There were only a dozen soldiers at the city gate, and the rest were all sleeping in the house.

All you need to do is to get through all the way, then open the city gate and you're done! "

"Not bad!"

Jia Yu nodded with satisfaction.

This Gu Ji is brave and resourceful, and is a good seedling worth cultivating.

Of course, with Jia Yu's eyes, he could see the deep ambition revealed in the other person's eyes.

But Jia Yu doesn't care, no one in this world has any ambition.

People without ambition are called salted fish, and he doesn't care about it.

Jia Yu and others also made two preparations for this siege.

They are sneak attack and force attack.

With drones, the intelligence on the ground is almost transparent to Jia Yu. It would be best if the sneak attack can succeed, and a strong attack is only the last resort.

For this reason, Gu Ji volunteered to lead a hundred men who dared to die and climbed up the city wall using tiger claws. After killing the defenders on the wall, he opened the city gate and let the army enter the city.

Jia Yu nodded solemnly, Gu Ji waved his hand, and took the lead in running towards the city wall more than 500 meters away.
Including Jia Yu, countless pairs of eyes watched a hundred fully armed warriors approaching the city.

Due to the low visibility, Gu Ji and his party quickly disappeared into the night.

However, this does not trouble Jia Yu.

He found a secluded corner, opened the control panel, and quickly found Gu Ji and his group through the infrared equipment on the drone. After they reached a distance of more than 200 meters outside the city wall, they all lay down and crawled. Climb towards the city wall.

Soon, these people reached the foot of the city wall and followed Jia Yu's instructions just now to a secluded corner. .

I saw a tall figure taking out a tiger-head claw from behind, shaking it a few times and throwing it towards the city wall. With a soft sound, the tiger-head claw firmly grasped the city wall.

Soon, the tall figure began to climb up, followed by the second, third...

Time passed little by little, and soon two quarters of an hour passed.

Everyone's patience was losing little by little. Just when many people felt impatient, several torches suddenly lit up in the direction of the city gate, and these torches were still drawing circles.

Immediately afterwards, the originally closed city gate slowly opened with a creak.

Then, a voice shouted loudly, "Brothers... the city gate is open, everyone, follow me and rush..."

Following this voice, countless impatient figures rushed towards the city gate...
