Chapter 209: The Tang Army Takes Nanning Prefecture lightly

Nan Jiyun led a thousand soldiers of the Southern Army, disguised as a caravan, and went straight to the direction of Nanning Prefecture in batches, preparing to take this extremely important city. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The defenders of Nanning Prefecture only have 300 soldiers and horses under the command of Chongdao, and the defensive strength is extremely weak.

There are only thirty defenders in the direction of the West Gate, symbolically guarding the city gate, ten people on the city gate tower, and twenty people below, and all of them are listless, perhaps, they feel that after the whole army of the guards is destroyed, there is no force that can have the strength to attack Nanning Prefecture, and they are obviously not clear about the existence of the Pingnan army.

"Stop, what are you doing?"

As soon as they arrived at the city gate, more than 100 soldiers at the head of Nanjiyun were stopped.

"General, we are lychee sellers."

Nanjiyun replied.

"Alright, let's go in!"

"No, they're not merchants."

A soldier of the defending army noticed that these merchants were all burly and did not look like merchants at all.

"Do it."

Nan Jiyun immediately made a decision, gave the order to do it, and took control of all the twenty defenders guarding near the city gate cave.

With the knife on their necks, these defenders suddenly became much more honest, and they didn't dare to say anything, and what surprised these defenders the most was that the group of merchants in front of them moved extremely quickly, and before they shouted, they quickly controlled all twenty of them, they originally thought they were bandits in the mountains, but according to the current situation, these people in front of them were undoubtedly well-trained regular soldiers.

"What are you and what do you want to do?"

Nan Jiyun didn't talk nonsense, and shouted: "Let all the people on the city gate tower come down." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, all the brethren of the city, all come down, all come down."

Soon, the ten defenders on the gate tower walked down the city wall and were quickly controlled by the soldiers of the Pingnan Army who were in ambush.

At this point, the Pingnan Army led by Nan Jiyun captured the west gate of Nanning Prefecture without blood, and then, hundreds of follow-up soldiers of the Pingnan Army arrived one after another, and the troops were divided into several routes, controlling the entire Pingnan Prefecture and capturing all 300 defenders.

Li An did not explain what to do with the surrendered defenders, so Nan Jiyun imprisoned the captured defenders together to wait for Li An to arrive in the city and deal with them.

After capturing Nanning Prefecture, Nan Jiyun and a thousand soldiers of the Southern Army were responsible for garrisoning the city, and immediately reported the good news to Li An.

"Nan Jiyun really didn't disappoint the general, and he really took Nanning Prefecture bloodlessly, so far, my Pingnan Army is in the plan, and finally has a foothold."

"General, the Nanzhao army and the Jiao Chongdao are in full swing, what should we do next, whether to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, or to attack immediately and help one of them."

Li An thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Ben General is here to grab territory, if you don't want to fight, it's better not to fight, of course, if someone wants to provoke our Pingnan Army, we can't be afraid, this is the principle of Ben General." ”

"Report, general, the Nanzhao army pursued all the way, surrounded more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under the command of Chongdao, surrounded the city of Weizhou, and launched a fierce siege battle."

A scout reported.

Li An and all the generals had relaxed expressions, and the more fierce the fight between Nanzhao and Jiao Chongdao, the more beneficial it would be to the Pingnan army.

"Wasn't Queensland captured by the Nanzhao army? How many defenders were there? ”

Ang Lee asked.

"General, Queensland City does not have Nanzhao defenders, it is an empty city."

The scout reported.

"Empty city, how can it be an empty city? Why didn't Nanzhao send troops to garrison the city that Nanzhao had worked so hard to build, this is not logical! ”

"General, could this be Nanzhao's ploy!"

"General, I think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so it's better to take Queensland City directly."

Generals, you quarreled with me every word.

Li An waved his hand, asked the generals to be quiet, and said loudly: "Soldiers, since Queensland City is an empty city, then what are we polite, the whole army immediately prepare to take Queensland City." ”

"Yes, General."

When the ministers heard the order, they immediately went to prepare.

"Big brother, why doesn't Nanzhao garrison troops in Queensland, this is the city they worked so hard to build!"

Li An smiled and said: "With the eldest brother's guess, the army of Nanzhao who attacked the city for two days in a row, and the people in the city have already had hatred, if Nanzhao wants to enter Queensland City and maintain security and stability in the city, there must be three or five thousand men and horses to achieve it, otherwise, if three or five hundred people are released, it is very likely that the situation will not be controlled, which will cause unnecessary casualties and provoke greater hatred, and Nanzhao is eager to annihilate Chongdao, and is unwilling to divide three or five thousand troops to garrison Queensland City, and wants to concentrate all the soldiers and horses, First annihilate the Chongdao in one fell swoop, and then, come back and slowly deal with the affairs of Queensland, anyway, the defenders of Queensland City have been completely annihilated by them, and the very small number of soldiers and horses scattered are not enough to pose the slightest threat to the Nanzhao army. ”

"Haha! The Nanzhao people were careless for a while, but they wanted to cheapen us, and this time to obtain Queensland City, it must be bloodless. ”

Li Kunxiong was overjoyed.

Li An said with a smile: "Of course, Queensland City is at your fingertips, but Nanzhao must be very unhappy, and I am afraid that a battle will not be avoided." ”

"Big brother, my Pingnan Army is so elite, how can I be afraid of Nanzhao, fight it, and annihilate it in one fell swoop."

Li Kunxiong is very confident.

Li An hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't, Nanzhao is a friendly ally of my Tang Dynasty, Datang's fight against Tubo is inseparable from Nanzhao's assistance, so we must not let the Nanzhao army lose too much, teach them a lesson, let them understand the terrible combat effectiveness of the Pingnan Army, understand?" ”

"Yes, big brother, I understand, just tell Nanzhao what can be given to you and what can't be given to you."

"That's right, that's what it means, you go to Nanning Prefecture first, tell Nan Jiyun what the eldest brother means, and let him guard Nanning Prefecture."

"Yes, big brother, I'll go now."

After some simple preparations, Li An personally led the main force of the 4,000-ping Southern Army to attack Queensland City at the fastest speed.

In order to avoid accidents as much as possible, the cavalry officers went first, the combat regiment marched later, the baggage men and horses went last, and a combat regiment was responsible for protection.

Li An's request was to successfully reach the city of Queensland after a rapid march of one day and one night, and quickly deploy defensive facilities to guard against possible provocations by the soldiers and horses of Nanzhao.

In the direction of Ulzhou City, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of the father and son of the father and son of the planing Chongdao did not dare to come out in the city of Weizhou, while the Nanzhao army took advantage of the situation to surround the city, making it difficult for the father and son to escape.

"The eldest prince, Weizhou City has been surrounded by our legions, and it is impossible to escape from Chongdao."

Ge Luofeng's expression was quite proud, he looked at Duan Jianwei beside him, and said suspiciously: "Mr. Duan, didn't you say that you have persuaded the guards to fight with us on the Chongdao, but why is it that so far, there is still no trace of the army under the command of the guards, what is the reason for this?" ”

Obviously, Ge Luofeng was a little angry, since the two sides had agreed to act together, they would fulfill their promises, and in Ge Luofeng's opinion, the guards obviously did not fulfill their promises, otherwise, why did they not move for so long.

Duan Jianwei couldn't figure out the situation either, and said respectfully: "The eldest prince is angry, his subordinates have already sent people to the direction of Nanning Prefecture to investigate the situation, and it is estimated that there will be news soon." ”

"Mr. Duan, the flying pigeon has passed the book."

A Nanzhao soldier walked into the big tent and handed the flying pigeon book to Duan Jianwei.

Duan Jianwei glanced at it and said in shock: "The eldest prince, the more than 10,000 troops under the command of the guard were completely annihilated by the planing Chongdao two days ago. ”

"What, how is this possible?"

Ge Luofeng obviously didn't believe it, after all, there were more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under the command of the guard, and he had been holding on to the direction of Nanning Prefecture for so long, how could he be wiped out by the Dao so easily?

Duan Jianwei explained: "The eldest prince, this matter is true, according to our investigation, soon after our army attacked Queensland, Chongdao led all the main forces stationed in Nanning Prefecture to reinforce in the direction of Queensland, and there were only three hundred soldiers and horses defending the city. ”

Ge Luofeng was shocked and asked softly, "How is the Shouyu now?" Is he dead? ”

"When he broke out of the encirclement, there were only more than 100 cavalry behind him, and now he has fled to Dongjiao to join his grandfather."

Duan Jianwei explained.

Ge Luofeng sighed and looked at Duan Jianwei: "It seems that Chongdao is still a talent, and he can actually turn passivity into initiative, and use this passive opportunity to wipe out all the soldiers and horses under the command of Jiao Shouyu in one fell swoop, amazing!" It's quite similar to Mr. ”

"What does the eldest prince mean?"

Ge Luofeng said with a smile: "When our army besieged Queensland City, the reinforcements of Fu Chongdao suddenly arrived, and our army was in a disadvantageous situation, but Mr. took advantage of this unfavorable situation to let our army easily break through Queensland City in one fell swoop, and annihilate all the soldiers and horses of Fu Chongdao who defended the city. ”

"The eldest prince has won the award, this is just a small skill of carving insects."

Ge Luofeng frowned, looked at Duan Jianwei and said, "Sir, how to attack the Weizhou City in front of you, can there be a way to outwit?" ”

Duan Jianwei was stunned for a moment, and said with a straight face: "Don't worry, the eldest prince, let your subordinates think about it." ”

After thinking for a while, Duan Jian Wei Zhengse said: "The eldest prince, you can use the technique of internal disintegration to let the Fu Qi and the Fu Shouyi who follow the Tao of the Tao merge with the Fire of the Dao, so that the city of Weizhou can be captured without the strength of the blow." ”

Ge Luofeng nodded lightly: "Mr. is planning to use the room, but how to use the room?" Will he and Shouyi listen to Mr.'s arrangement? ”

"The eldest prince, now, it is a matter of time before Chongdao is annihilated, and Jiaqi and Jiashouyi will not fail to understand this truth, as long as we give an inducement to show that all the blame is for Jiachongdao, and it has nothing to do with Jiaqi and Jiashouyi, as long as the two of them are willing to respond internally, after the city is broken, we will not only not blame them for the past, but also can seal the territory of Jiachongdao to them."

Duan Jian Wei Zhengse said.

When Ge Luofeng heard this, he nodded again and again: "Clever plan, sir's clever plan!" In this way, the casualties of our army will inevitably be greatly reduced, and the siege of Weizhou City is like probing for things, Mr. can go to arrange it immediately, Xiao Wang is waiting for your good news. ”

"Yes, eldest prince, my subordinates will go and arrange it."

After Duan Jianwei returned to his big tent, he carefully deduced the plan several times, and after making sure that it was mature, he immediately sent his henchmen to execute it.

In the city of Weizhou, a large number of wounded soldiers sat in the streets and alleys of the city wailing, and the uninjured soldiers also looked listless, after all, after losing the battle, how could the mental state be good?

The soldiers are not in a good state, as the general of the army, the state is also very anxious, the competition in the open field, has made them realize that their combat power, is indeed far inferior to the Nanzhao army, now, besieged by the other party, and there will definitely be no reinforcements outside, which makes them feel hopeless, death seems to be their only end, and this desperate thought, will inevitably lead to the instability of the army, many soldiers have the idea of fleeing, after all, saving life is the most important thing, not every soldier is loyal to the master.

At this moment, not only ordinary soldiers have two hearts, but even Fu Qi and Fu Shouyi regret not leaving Fu Chongdao earlier, so they are suffering from the current fate.

In other words, the alliance between Fu Qi, Fu Shouyi and Fu Chongdao is very fragile, not an unbreakable relationship, and Duan Jianwei obviously guessed this correctly.

After getting Duan Jianwei's promise, Fu Qi and Fu Shouyi resolutely decided to cooperate with the Nanzhao army and jointly take Weizhou City, and the agreed time was in the middle of the night.

"Father, all the soldiers and horses of our army are here, and there are no reinforcements to save us, what can we do?"

Fu Chao was a little anxious in his heart.

Of course, Chongdao's heart was even more anxious, and he said helplessly: "Things are already like this, what can you do as a father?" It seems that the future planing land is the world of the Nanzhao people, and the planing is returned to the king, the sun is entering, and the corner is guarded...... And we, who have been exhausted in the infighting, and there is no one who can fight against the Nanzhao army anymore. ”

"Father, are we just going to stay in the city and wait to die? Let's break through! There may be another way to break out. ”

Fu Chao was unwilling to be trapped in the lonely city, he still wanted to live.

Fu Chongdao looked confused, looked at his son, and said in a low voice: "Weizhou is our foundation, where can we go without our foundation?" As long as we choose to leave, the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under our command will collapse in an instant, and we are weak, and we will inevitably die, hold on to the city, and maybe there is a glimmer of life. ”

"Father, the morale of the soldiers in the city is extremely low, and the child is worried that someone will defect."

Fu Chongdao nodded and said, "You personally lead the army to patrol the city, and if you find anyone who disobeys the order, you will be killed." (To be continued.) )
