Chapter 459: A little gadget
"Your Majesty, Yeluhu."
"General Yelu, please get back on your feet."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"His Majesty?"
A small group of people from the Imperial Guard heard Yeluhu's address. They first looked blankly at the Queen standing at the top of the city, and then reacted: "See your Majesty."
"Your Majesty is here?"
"See Your Majesty."
One after another, the sky-shattering sounds came one after another. At this moment, all the soldiers guarding the capital of the Kingdom of Jin knew that His Majesty had personally climbed onto the city wall to supervise the battle.
Everyone looked at Her Majesty the Queen standing there with high spirits and high morale.
"Fellow soldiers, warriors of the Kingdom of Jin, you have worked hard. On behalf of the 600,000 people in the capital, I thank you."
Wanyan's gentle words were spread out one by one by the messengers.
Suddenly, a loud shout came from the city wall.
"Long live Long live Long live."
"Let the soldiers stick to their posts and don't relax because of my arrival."
"According to the order."
"General Yelu, has there been any news from the scouts?"
"Your Majesty, the rebel vanguard of 50,000 troops is already about 20 miles away from the capital. They should be able to rush to the city in half an hour."
"You came so quickly. The soldiers guarding the city didn't show any fear of the enemy, did they?"
"Your Majesty, I dare to say something and hope that your Majesty will forgive me."
"You are forgiven."
"It would be false to say that there is no fear. After all, the Imperial Guard has not really been on the battlefield several times, especially after the replacement of the older generation of soldiers. These are young boys. Regardless of the high morale now, once blood is seen, the results of the battle will be How, it’s hard to say.”
The Queen frowned and looked at the tens of thousands of excited guards on the city wall: "Do you have any good way to deal with it?"
"I am incompetent, and there is nothing I can do. An army that has not been baptized by the flames of war cannot do anything by relying on the prestige of the general, because after seeing blood, they will lose their concentration for a moment. The war is changing rapidly, and a careless person may be shot by a stray arrow in a moment. Become a target.”
"So we have to let them fight at all costs?"
"That's right."
"But it will take a day and a half for the four armies from southern Xinjiang to arrive. If they fight regardless of the cost, the capital will be in danger."
"Your Majesty, I do have a bold idea that you can try. It's just a dangerous move. If you make one wrong move, you'll lose everything."
The queen's eyes lit up: "Tell me about it!"
Yeluhu pointed to a point on the map and said: "Your Majesty, the rebels' 50,000 vanguard army should be here, and their food and grass should be here. The main force of more than 300,000 troops has a large population, slow marching, and some... The team formed by the auxiliary soldiers and state soldiers will definitely slow down the progress of the army. It will take at least half a day to catch up with the vanguard army. I want to test the sword with the vanguard army first and temper the soldiers."
The Queen leaned forward and looked at the places pointed by Yeluhu: "Do you want to take the initiative and catch the rebel vanguard by surprise?"
"That's right, there are as many as 400,000 rebels, and there will be no less than 600,000 miscellaneous soldiers with various baggage, and the capital's garrison only has 150,000 soldiers at best. They must think that we are just caged birds at their mercy, absolutely not Dare to take the initiative to go out of the city to meet the enemy, I want to do the opposite, give them a trick, and eat their vanguard troops with lightning speed. There are still 140,000 troops in the city, and I want to lead a 100,000 army to attack quickly and defeat them. They were caught off guard."
After hearing this, the Queen closed her eyes and began to think deeply: "General Yelu, one hundred thousand versus fifty thousand can indeed be defeated, and it can also train troops, but have you ever thought about what if this fifty thousand army is their bait? Take the initiative to lure us out of the city to fight. "
"That's why I said that this is a dangerous move for the army. If it succeeds, it will kill three birds with one stone. It can train the troops, give them a warning, and also delay their progress in attacking the city, giving General Longche and General Gaoling more time to support them." .”
The Queen wandered hesitantly on top of the city. During the tea time, the Queen looked at the map and thought deeply: "How long does it take for the cavalry to rush from Luoyue Valley to the rebel's grain and grass troops?"
Yeluhu looked at the map and said: "It will take about three-quarters of an hour. If the Turkic horses attack with all their strength, two-quarters of an hour is not impossible."
The Queen pondered for a while: "Hui'er."
"I'm here."
"The eagle sent a letter to General Jin Kezheng in Luoyue Valley, asking him to immediately rush from Luoyue Valley to the official road thirty miles outside the city to attack the rebel's grain and grass troops, so that he could not fight with the rebel's grain guards. When soldiers are in close combat, they can only attack with bows and arrows from a distance, but they must act as if they must eat the rebels' food and fodder. When they see that the situation is not good, they should retreat immediately."
"yes."
Hui'er climbed down the city wall without hesitation.
The Queen looked at Yeluhu: "General Yelu, General Jin can delay the main force of the rebels for at least half a day. Whether you can kill the vanguard depends on your ability."
Yeluhu also understood the Queen's plan to make the rebels think that they were planning to burn their food and grass, so they would definitely support them with all their strength, and the vanguard would be left alone.
"I obey the decree and will definitely not disappoint His Majesty."
The Queen shook her head gently: "Don't let down the hundreds of thousands of people behind you."
"I understand."
"Let's gather together."
"I obey the decree."
Looking at Yeluhu's back, the Queen murmured: "Am I being too impulsive in doing this?"
"Someone is coming."
"His Majesty."
"Go to the Yingbin Post to invite the two chief envoys of the Dragon Envoy and tell them that I invite them to come to the city wall to watch the battle."
"According to the order."
"Third brother, are you done?"
"It's almost done, what's wrong?"
"Emperor Jin sent someone to invite us to watch the battle at the city wall and is waiting outside."
"City wall?"
"That's right."
"If you don't go, arrows will rain down on the city wall. It's a good thing if you get shot!"
Song Qing awkwardly looked at the astonished female officer beside him: "Master, don't be offended. Master Liu usually likes to joke. He should come out soon."
However, the slap in the face was caught off guard. After the two cups of tea, the door was still tightly closed without any movement.
The female officer looked at Song Qing and was a bit joking. What was the agreed time? How long has this been going on?
"Master Liu!" Song Qing's serious voice came in.
Young Master Liu, who was sealing a large wine jar, suddenly trembled, and the cold sweat on his forehead flowed down uncontrollably: "Song Qing, your grandma, if you dare to say one more thing, I will risk my life for you, do you believe it or not."
Song Qing was a little stunned when he heard Young Master Liu's hysterical curses. He immediately understood that his third brother must be doing something secretive, and he calmed down.
He nodded calmly to the female officer beside him: "Just wait a little longer, Mr. Liu should be busy with some official duties."
The cautious Young Master Liu finally sealed the last wine jar and breathed a sigh of relief. He slumped down on the chair and said, "I still miss the old days of various instruments. It was too scary to do these with bare hands."
Young Master Liu put various wine jars away and poured himself a cup of tea: "Master Song, come in."
"I said, third brother, what are you doing?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the female officer following Song Qing and nodded: "It's just a little gadget."
