Chapter 857: Attack in groups
In the second year of the Great Qin Dynasty, May 19.
Liu Heimin led the Hebei Xia army of 30,000 mighty out of the river into the upper valley, and the 20,000 horses of the Yanwang Gao Kaidao entered Puyin, one of the eight Taihang mountains, through Yiding, crossed the Bauhinia Pass, and then turned into the flying fox and crossed the Taihang Mountain, and entered Lingqiu City, Yanmen County, Hedong.
Zhuojun Huairong Gao Tansheng led 20,000 troops from the north to the south to converge, and Liu Wuzhou's general Gao Manzheng also led more than 30,000 troops to converge.
The four families met in Lingqiu, and 100,000 soldiers and horses crossed Hengshan to Yunzhong County to besiege Liu Hongji, the general of Dingxiang.
Liu Hongji and Wei Chiliang retreated to Yunnei City, Yunzhong County, with less than 10,000 soldiers and horses.
Listening to the information that the scout light cavalry kept bringing back, Liu Hongji had a headache, this is simply a copy of the battle of Mayi after the siege of Yanmen last time.
It's just that last time, the 200,000 troops of the Turkic Shibi Khan withdrew from Yanmen, and he pursued here under the leadership of General Siye, and finally garrisoned here, and surrounded the Turkic army with Luo Cheng, who killed Huguan.
And now, the Turkic Jieli Khan led 200,000 troops to surround Xiang Luo Simo, and Luo Siye's army was stationed on the bank of the Purple River, but the Tang army Chai Shao led 100,000 soldiers and horses to kill.
Now he is besieged by another 100,000 coalition troops.
With less than 8,000 people, they have to fight against four families and 100,000 people.
This is a typical battle of battle and counter-attack.
Liu Hongji stood on the wall of the south gate, climbed high and looked into the distance, and saw that the enemy light cavalry vanguard had galloped in. The scouts of the Qin army rode lightly outside the city to fight with them, and the two sides galloped and ran, bows and arrows exchanged arrows, and from time to time someone fell off their horses.
Soon, all the scouts galloped to the city, and were able to retreat into the city under the cover of the city's crossbows.
But half a day later, more enemy troops arrived, they camped on all sides, and the water in the siege of Yunnei was impassable, because the enemy army was too powerful, Liu Hongji did not dare to divide the troops to guard, so he had to take the initiative to withdraw the troops of the dungeon post station outside the city.
Only 2,000 troops were stationed in Heng'an Military Town, and another 1,000 troops were sent to guard the passage to the north of the Great Wall.
Early the next morning, the enemy began to launch a fierce attack on the Heng'an military town and the Cowhide Pass, but fortunately, both of them were extremely strong and the passes were not large, so they were able to hold on. The enemy was unable to attack for a while, but suffered heavy casualties.
In the evening, Liu Hongji once again personally drafted a letter, urgently telling Zhao Gui of Xiangluo Siye and Fan Yang to ask for help from the two places.
"Our army's fighting spirit is still strong, and we have defeated the fierce front, and we have won a lot of people, but our department only has more than 8,000 people, and the enemy army is 100,000 people, and the enemy is outnumbered, so we can help quickly!"
In the night, dozens of light horsemen each carried a letter asking for help and left the city at night.
Standing on the top of the city, you can hear the interception of the enemy rangers, and in the bursts of shouts and killings, there will definitely be many messengers who will be stopped, but there will definitely be some who can rush out.
It's just that the reinforcements don't know when they'll arrive.
Fan Yang.
The crown prince stayed in the city of Beijing in Shuntianfu, and Zhao Gui led an army of janissaries and a vassal army to guard Fanyang.
And Feng Xiaoci took 50,000 horses to suppress thieves in Zhao County and Xiangguo.
At this time, Dou Jiande, who had been silent for a long time, made an all-out attack, on the one hand, he sent the general Liu Heimin to enter the Yanmen of Hedong by the upper valley, and on the other hand, he sent the generals Wang Fubao and Cao Bao into Zhao County to reinforce the former enemies Song Jingang and Zhen Zhai'er.
The two thieves were already defeated and retreated under Feng Xiaoci's repeated attacks, and it was difficult to gain a foothold. So he turned aside and became an ally of Dou Jiande, who was also a Turkist.
Dou Jiande soon reached an alliance with the two thieves, and the three sides were no longer at war.
The Xia army also entered the second county to counterattack Feng Xiaoci together.
The two thieves, who were supported by the Xia army's fresh force and grain, grass and equipment, greatly increased their combat power.
Feng Xiaoci was careless, but suffered a big defeat and had to retreat. The Xia army took the opportunity to kill, Feng Xiaoci was defeated by Wang Fubao and Cao Bao one after another, losing thousands of soldiers, and the land of the two counties recovered before was also lost, and he had no choice but to withdraw to Hengshan County Zhending to hold on.
Zhao Gui of Fan Yang eagerly led troops to rescue in person, but because of the high opening of the Dao and the rebellion of the thieves in Shanggu, Shanggu County was captured, so that the two counties of Hengshan and Boling were divided and could not be reinforced for a while.
He wanted to level the upper valley and open the road first, but Dou Jiande personally led troops to reinforce the upper valley.
For a time, Feng Xiaoci was also under siege, although he was not temporarily lost, but he was also powerless to crusade against Liu Wuzhou, Gao Kaidao, Song Jingang and Zhen Zhai'er and others.
As for Zhao Gui of Fan Yang, although he has 50,000 soldiers in his hands.
However, after the army was closed, the land of Zhuo County was occupied by Gao Tansheng, and if you want to go south out of Puyin and Flying Fox into the east of the river, Shanggu County is occupied by Gao Kaidao.
To the south, it enters the east of the river from the well of Heng Mountain, but the road is cut off by the upper valley.
Zhao Gui sat in the big tent of the Chinese army and closed his eyes slightly.
He was thinking about how to break the situation in the face of today.
Fan Yang's 50,000 soldiers and horses are a new force, and how to use them is the key.
Now outside the western military capital of his country is the self-proclaimed Mahayana Buddhist emperor Gao Tansheng, who secretly preached and developed the congregation with Maitreya, and secretly accepted the support of the Turks, and obtained many horses and weapons to equip the congregation. On the grounds that the practice would surpass the souls of the dead in the Zhuo County war over the years, he united with some officials in the Zhuo County government who were dissatisfied with the imperial court, gathered countless monks and nuns, as well as ordinary people, in the city, and then took the opportunity to make a rebellion, captured Huairong in one fell swoop, and then quickly occupied the entire Zhuo County, and led the Turkic soldiers to come.
And directly south of him is Dou Jiande's Ying, Mo, and Cangzhou three states, with three passes such as Waqiao, as well as hundreds of miles of water and Bo defense lines.
In the southwest, the bandits who once belonged to the imperial court Gao Kaidao have rebelled again, instigating many Shanggu thieves who had been recruited and many old subordinates who were originally Dugu.
It is not advisable to have a river in the south, Dou Jiande has operated the three passes of Waqiao for several years, not to mention that in order to prevent the Qin army from going south, he also deliberately blocked the river, and turned this area, which was originally a large lake area with many water lakes, into a huge lake area with a length of more than 300 miles, and became a natural water Great Wall.
Now it is summer, and it is the time when the lake is abundant.
Zhuo County outside the military capital, or Shanggu, choose one of the two?
Some generals persuaded him to send troops to attack Gao Tansheng first, on the grounds that although he had the help of Turkic soldiers, he only had 2,000 Turkic light cavalry, and although Gao Tansheng claimed to be the emperor, he was only a monk before, and there were no people under his command who could fight, tens of thousands of horses, but just a rabble, and he used Maitreya to coax and instigate.
Attack him first, you can defeat him in one battle, and then go to rescue Liu Hongji in Yunnei.
But some people say that Shanggu should be attacked first, after all, Shanggu is occupied, so that the two towns of Boling and Hengshan are now also under siege, although Taiyuan can still be connected, but Taiyuan now has to focus on Liu Wuzhou.
Long.
Zhao Gui got up, and he walked into another big tent, which was the military tent of the staff officer.
"Draw up a battle plan and attack the upper valley first."
