Chapter 1124
Gumanyev was not an extremely outstanding general, but he was definitely a qualified general.
Given an army of 100,000, he could not play the role of an army of 300,000, but he could definitely play the role that an army of 100,000 should play.
He knew very well that this siege would determine life and death, so he used almost all means, including siege equipment and dozens of new artillery. He even wanted to imitate Colonel Andrei's smoke attack to cover the opponent's sight.
But thinking that the opponent had sufficient troops and abundant resources, he was too lazy to do such useless work.
After all, he believed in Colonel Andrei. This man could go from a serf to a powerful colonel today, which was enough to prove his talent in war.
There was no intention to stop this battle from the beginning. The attack lasted all night, and both sides were dying, but it was obvious that Gumanyev's side suffered much more serious losses.
"Three days! Colonel Andrei said three days! He must have thought of something!"
Gumanyev's heart was very determined, but due to anxiety, he still went into the tent and beat the female slaves severely to vent his anger.
It was already dawn, and the Andrei Raid Corps in Liaodong Dusi had also completed its rest.
While preparing the troops to set out, Andrei took the map and said, "This place is 30 miles away from Liaodong Dusi. It is an inconspicuous depression with woods on both sides. It is the only way for Goryeo."
"The woods are not conducive to the passage of vehicles and horses, and it takes another 70 to 80 miles to go around, so even if it is dangerous, they will firmly take that depression."
"I will lead 50,000 troops and ambush in front. When they come, we will start fighting."
"They are determined to rescue Shenzhou. As long as the fight starts, they will flee in the direction of Shenzhou, and then you can lead the remaining 10,000 troops to intercept them here, and you can completely kill them."
Artyom said seriously: "Don't worry, Captain! I promise to complete the task!"
Andrei said: "Let's go, complete the ambush before dark, I have sent out spies, and they will pass by tomorrow."
"Understood!"
Artyom was full of energy, and his mind was already thinking about the day when he was awarded the rank of colonel.
...
Ninety miles away from Liaodong Dusi, Xiang Yong and others set out again and rushed to Shenzhou.
Li Yu'an asked again: "General Xiang, the information can't be wrong? Are you sure Zhou Yuan is not in Shenzhou?"
Xiang Yong smiled and said: "Your Highness, this is the sixth time you have asked this question. My answer is still the same. Please believe the information of Shenque."
"The information says that the general is currently guarding Tongkuanshan and has not had time to support Shenzhou. However, it is expected that they are already heading west. As long as we defend Shenzhou, we will be invincible."
Li Yu'an sighed and said: "Of course I believe the information of Shenque. I am just a little worried. He."
She shook her head, cleared her mind of all these distractions, and then frowned and said, "We are almost in Shenzhou. According to the information from the Divine Bird, the soldiers of the Tsarist Empire have also arrived, and may even be attacking the city."
"Then if we are calculated by the other party, will we be ambushed?"
Xiang Yong smiled and said, "Don't worry, although the spies of the Divine Bird will not serve us exclusively, we also have our own reconnaissance battalion, which has been spread out. If there are ambushes, they will not be hidden from our eyes."
As soon as the voice fell, a spy came on horseback to report.
"Your Majesty, General, we found a large number of enemy troops hiding in the side forests sixty miles to the north, trying to ambush our army."
"Due to the dense forest, we dare not go deep into it and cannot estimate the number of the enemy, but our people have made marginal attempts and estimate that the number of the enemy will not exceed 30,000."
"But according to the telescope, the enemy is well-equipped and should be the elite soldiers of the Tsarist Empire."
Xiang Yong waved his hand and smiled, "It's a poor ambush, Your Highness, isn't the intelligence here?"
"Our soldiers have been trained for several months, and their combat quality will not be too high. Facing the elite troops of the Tsarist Empire, our combat capability is far inferior."
"But if we can catch the enemy off guard and disperse them completely with lightning speed, then there will be no problem."
Li Yu'an narrowed her eyes slightly, with a cold light in her eyes, and said in a cold voice: "Is it the man named Andre in the intelligence? This beast really thinks he is a smart man."
"I will chop off his head tomorrow!"
Xiang Yong nodded and said: "Being able to predict our rescue and decisively deploy an ambush and surround the reinforcements should be Andre's work. Others don't have this ability."
"In that case, let's fight!"
On the morning of September 12, Xiang Yong sent out only one thousand elite cavalrymen, detoured to the east of the dense forest, and lit a fire..
With the howling east wind, the dry dense forest was directly ignited by the fire, which quickly spread throughout the dense forest.
Countless soldiers of the Tsarist Empire could not wait for Xiang Yong to enter their core ambush position, and they ran out in a hurry.
At this moment, Xiang Yong led the army to rush forward again, and killed the enemy in a few strokes.
Artyom was stunned and couldn't help shouting: "Andrei! Colonel Andrei! Didn't you say you would attack first!"
"Why are they here well, and you haven't made any moves yet!"
He called to the sky and the earth, but no one responded. Ten thousand elite soldiers were rushed to pieces by Xiang Yong before they had even formed a formation. It was clear that the elite with strong combat power could not play out, and the battle situation became one-sided.
"Run! Go! Quickly!"
"Protect me to leave! Guards! Guards!"
Artyom fled north in a hurry, with ten thousand puzzles in his heart.
But he heard a faster wind!
Looking back, he saw a woman in a bright yellow dress flying like a meteor, at an extremely fast speed.
Artyom's eyes widened and he trembled: "Crossbow! Crossbow! Musket! Musket!"
Li Yu'an didn't give him a chance. She slapped him from more than ten feet away, killing the guards beside him with AOE. She quickly came to him, grabbed his neck and lifted him up.
"Are you Andre? You bully my man?"
"Ahem..."
Artyom struggled like a chicken, unable to make a sound.
Li Yu'an narrowed her eyes and said, "If you bully my man, you must die!"
She spit out her internal force and directly pulled Artyom's head off and threw it on the ground.
Then he turned around and said, "General Xiang, the enemy chief is dead!"
Xiang Yong was stunned and murmured, "This... this... is it still a human?"
While he was stunned, suddenly there were roars and fighting sounds seven or eight miles behind him.
"Not good!"
Xiang Yong exclaimed, "Quick! Come back for help!"
In order to surprise the enemy's ambush troops, Xiang Yong left the baggage and food troops behind and went into battle lightly, so that the speed would be fast.
Unexpectedly, the enemy actually had another troop, hiding in an unknown place, attacking their food soldiers while they were raiding here.
"Quick! Can't let them go!"
More than 30,000 troops turned around immediately and soon saw the tragic scene.
The 5,000 baggage troops had been defeated, and the enemy's 50,000 troops just stood there, as if quietly waiting for something.
Andre looked into the distance and shouted, "50,000 troops! Elite troops! Do you dare to attack!"
"The battle in Shenzhou City has been going on for two days. If you don't support them, aren't you sorry for Zhou Yuan?"
"Haha! The food and grass belong to me! Hurry up and support them!"
Li Yu'an squinted and disappeared instantly.
The next moment, Andre shouted, "You dare to come! I dare to die with you!"
He raised the torch in his hand directly. There were three carts of explosives piled beside him, as well as hundreds of musketeers and hundreds of crossbowmen.
Li Yu'an stopped. She was not afraid of muskets, and crossbows could not penetrate her inner force wall.
But once the three carts of explosives exploded... she couldn't stop it.
Xiang Yong hurriedly said: "Your Highness, come back, you can't take risks because of him!"
Li Yu'an said coldly: "So you are Andrei!"
Andrei chuckled and said slowly: "There is always a way out. With your food and grass, I can leave with peace of mind."
"We can't win the war here, King Goryeo, you should let us go, so that you will win Shenzhou."
"Even if Zhou Yuan is here, he will let me go. After all... Even if you don't want to let me go, you can't beat my 50,000 elites!"
When he took down Jianzhou and saw the more than 20,000 prisoners, Andrei knew it was over.
The strategic level of the generals of the Great Jin Dynasty was too high, far higher than he imagined, and Shenzhou would definitely not be taken.
This battle was lost.
But Gumanyev can die, and Andrei must live!
For this escape, he planned for a long time, even betraying Artyom.
