Xu Yunyan asked about the current situation of Yunzhou City here, and Li Changsheng sighed.
"Captain, you must hold on."
When Li Changsheng said this, Xu Yunyan was stunned, "What? Did something important happen to Brother Li? Yunzhou City is already like this, how can I not be able to hold on?"
Li Changsheng looked at Xu Yunyan and did not say what Yunzhou City was like now. Instead, he said, "Yunzhou is still surrounded by Turks on all sides. The number of Turkic soldiers is at least 40,000, and there may be more than 50,000. "
After Li Changsheng finished speaking, Xu Yunyan laughed self-deprecatingly, "I think it's too simple. In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy will be ineffective. It's me who has caused the elders of Yunzhou to suffer."
Xu Yunyan kept apologizing to the Yunzhou elders here. Before Li Changsheng said anything, the Yunzhou elders who were closer knelt down in front of Xu Yunyan with a plop.
"What did Governor Xu say? If Governor Xu had not led us to repel the Turks' two attacks, Yunzhou City might have been captured by the Turks now. Would we still be alive at that time?"
One person said this, and the other people even said, "Captain, since we have repelled two Turkic attacks, we must be able to repulse another Turkic attack and keep Yunzhou safe."
Xu Yunyan looked at these earnest eyes and nodded seriously, "Don't worry, as long as we still have breath, we will fight to the end. We still have the final say in Yunzhou City."
After Xu Yunyan finished speaking, he looked at Li Changsheng, "Brother Li, tell me what the situation is like in Yunzhou now."
Li Changsheng sighed, "Commander, not a single young man in Yunzhou City can be pulled out now. All those who can reach the top of the city have already arrived. There are less than 500 people on each city wall."
At this moment, Xu Yunyan couldn't help but bleed in his heart.
Less than five hundred people guarding a city wall? The total number of capable warriors in Yunzhou is less than 2,000?
There were more than this number of Yunzhou defenders in the past, not to mention tens of thousands of young and strong civilians.
When Xu Yunyan heard this, he couldn't help but clenched his fists.
"It's all my fault. Tens of thousands of people were buried in Yunzhou City. How can I see these Yunzhou elders again?"
As Xu Yunyan said this, the others were also silent, but Li Changsheng persuaded them from the side.
"Captain, tens of thousands of us died at the hands of the Turks, but the Turks died even more. At least close to 50,000 Turks fell under our Yunzhou City. We are worthy of them."
After Li Changsheng finished speaking, Xu Yunyan sighed, "No, it's still too few. How is the Turkic defense situation outside? I want to see if there is any way to kill the Turks on a large scale. When the reinforcements arrive, we can't let Yunzhou City be defended." The elders of the state were slaughtered by these Turkic soldiers in vain."
It's okay if Xu Yunyan didn't say this, but Li Changsheng was so angry when he said: "Captain, don't wait, the reinforcements will not come. Liu Heitai and Liu Shishan will not send any soldiers. They are still counting on it." The Turks can join forces with them to repel the Tang army."
Hearing this, Xu Yunyan staggered back and bumped into the city wall as if he had heard some great news.
"How could this be so? The people of Yunzhou are the people under their rule. They don't care about the life and death of the people they rule for this small profit. What is the use of this person?"
Those who were waiting around Xu Yunyan and Li Changsheng, waiting for Xu Yunyan to make up his mind, immediately started to commotion when they heard that there were no reinforcements.
"What should we do? We only have a few troops and there are so many Turkic soldiers outside the city. Can we really not be able to defend Yunzhou?"
Seeing the military morale wavering here, Xu Yunyan shouted directly, "Don't be chaotic! Even we people can defend Yunzhou City, believe me."
We have to fight until the last moment no matter what. Maybe these Turkic soldiers only have this little strength and it is impossible to board Yunzhou City again. "
After all the talk, he finally calmed down the soldiers in front of him. Xu Yunyan looked at Li Changsheng, "Brother Li, please tell me how the Turks deployed their defenses outside Yunzhou City."
Li Changsheng went directly to the north. "To the north is the Turkic camp, with at least 30,000 people, and the remaining three city walls have no less than 5,000 people stationed on each side."
"Well, the north is the main force of the Turks. As long as the Turks soldiers in the north are defeated, we in Yunzhou will still have a chance to breathe. Let me think about what we can do."
After Xu Yunyan finished speaking, he walked around in circles, thinking of ways to defeat the Turks. However, not long after he had just walked around, some old people in the city cooked horse meat and sent it to the city wall for the guards on the city wall to You can have a hot meal.
Xu Yunyan, who was circling here, was stopped by Li Changsheng, "Commander, please eat a little first. If you don't eat a little, how can you have the strength to kill the enemy?"
Li Changsheng's persuasion made Xu Yunyan sigh and reach out to take the food in front of him.
However, Xu Yunyan's eyes lit up when he saw that Li Changsheng was actually a horse's leg.
"Brother Li, where is our war horse? Where is the war horse?"
Xu Yunyan said this for no reason, which surprised Li Changsheng. However, before Li Changsheng could ask Xu Yunyan what he wanted the war horse to do, Xu Yunyan was already giving instructions here.
"Gather all the war horses to the north gate, select five hundred warriors who dare to die, and I will ride on horseback to drive these tens of thousands of war horses to trample the Turkic camp to the north."
After Xu Yunyan said these words, Li Changsheng's eyes lit up.
"It's better for me to go to the Governor's matter. You stay in Yunzhou City to defend the city. The Wang brothers and General Wei are both seriously injured and can't lead the troops. Now the only one in the city who can lead the troops besides the Governor is me. It's better for me to go. Bar."
Although Li Changsheng said he was very anxious, Xu Yunyan also knew that this was not to snatch military exploits. There was no military exploits to speak of at this time, as long as he was alive.
"Driving horses to trample the Turkic camp is very likely to lead to death. This is just an idea. How difficult is it to put it into practice?
you go? no! I came up with the idea. I have absolute confidence. I will make better arrangements. What should you do if you go ahead rashly? After I left, Brother Li immediately defended the city with everyone. "
"How does this work?"
Li Changsheng kept retorting here, but Xu Yunyan said sternly, "I am the governor of Yunzhou, and I will do what I say. First go down and find something that can ignite and tie it to the horse's tail. In ancient times, there was a fire bull array." , I’m going to have a fire horse formation today.”
Xu Yunyan talked hard and finally calmed Li Changsheng. Li Changsheng had to kneel down in front of Xu Yunyan, "Captain, you must come back alive! We are waiting for you in Yunzhou City."
As Li Changsheng knelt down, there were also many people guarding Yunzhou City. They were also saying here, "The Commander-in-Chief has a long life and must come back."
