Chapter 260 The sword is out of the edge

"Although Chen Ying didn't have the idea of asking for credit from orphans and widows, however, Zhaozhou still has to fight!" Chen Ying said with a solemn expression: "You don't know, now the Turkic Jieli Khan led more than 30 iron cavalry, still going south, now although the direction of the Turkic cavalry to the south is unknown, the purpose is unknown, but as we all know, my Tang Dynasty must bear the brunt, now, the only way to end this meaningless war as soon as possible, gather the strength of the whole world, and fight with the Turks." ”

Li Shiji said in surprise: "How could the Turks send troops at this time? It doesn't make sense! ”

Chen Ying explained: "I don't know the specific reason, but we must end this war as soon as possible now, otherwise the society will be worried about its demise, for the common people of the world, for the Chinese community, we can't be careless, and we can't be defeated!" ”

"That's true!" Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, smiled slightly: "Thanks to the grace of the lord of Xia not to kill, if the queen and princess of Xia are captured, even if you give up this old face, you will ask for a favor for them!" ”

Chen Ying smiled undeniably and said: "The king of Huai'an will repay his kindness, he really believes in people!" ”

Li Shiji looked at Chen Ying and said: "Shiji has an uninvited invitation, and I also ask General Chen to fulfill it!" ”

"Oh!" Chen Ying asked puzzledly: "General Li, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

Li Shiji said: "Liyang City was lost in the hands of Li, as the saying goes, where you fall, you get up from there!" ”

Chen Yingdao: "You want to recapture Liyang? ”

"Not bad!" Li Shiji nodded and said: "Li wants to borrow troops from General Chen, and he doesn't need too many people, five thousand people and horses are enough!" ”

Chen Ying groaned: "Although there are only 3,000 old, weak and sick in the Liyang Xia Army, if the city is defended, I am afraid that it will not be easy for 5,000 men and horses to recapture Liyang, but if there are too many troops, the pressure on this general here is also very great, so let's do it, I will transfer the right division of the prince of the East Palace to you with four Zhechong Mansions, and then draw 3,000 people for you, making up 10,000." ”

Li Shiji was overjoyed and said: "Thank you so much General Chen, if you can use Li in the future, please ask General Chen to command!" ”

"What you said is too much of an outsider, you and I are ministers in the same palace, how can we divide each other!" Chen Ying smiled and said: "The soldiers are fast, without further ado!" ”

Immediately, Chen Ying issued an order, ordering Gao Yunquan to be the deputy general and placed under the command of Li Shiji.

Liyang's position is actually very important, but with the loss of Luzhou, Liyang has become a little chicken. If Xiaoluzhou is still in the hands of Datang, then Liyang is an important choke point holding Hebei. But with the loss of Luzhou, there is no way to block all the Xia troops in Hebei. Hebei can go all the way from Xiangzhou to the west, through Linshu and Huguan, you can reach Luzhou, but it is closer than through Liyang.

It's just that Chen Ying is too lazy to delay time in Liyang, first of all, Chen Ying's magic weapon to break the level is fierce fire oil (in fact, it is refined gasoline), and secondly, poisonous smoke. The key is that Liyang is different from Yanmen Pass and Hangu Pass, this is not a simple military fortress, for military fortresses, it is harmless to take any means, but Liyang City is a comprehensive city, and there are many people in it, whether it is incendiary bombs or poisonous smoke, it will harm the innocent.

Since Li Shiji was willing to attack Liyang, Chen Ying was also happy to be idle.

……

Jinju, Xia Guo Dou Jiande temporarily traveled. Although Dou Jiande tried his best to block the news, Li Jiancheng would not sit idly by, and in the case of taking a careful walk, the soldiers of the Xia army inevitably learned the news of Chen Ying's army's sneak attack on Zhouzhou. Ling Jing said to Dou Jiande with a wry smile: "Chen Ying is really a difficult opponent, he gave us another surprise, now our morale is about to fall out, even if the joy of victory in winning the three towns of Jinnan is instantly canceled out." ”

Dou Jiande's expression was also very depressed. He played a good chess move, in Wang Xiaohu to the north in Luzhou, Cao Zhan to the west in Huzhou, himself in the middle of the road, along the Jinzhou to the north, he could immediately rush to Taiyuan, take down Li Yuan's starting place. However, at this critical moment, Chen Ying threatened Zhaozhou.

As the capital of a country, the symbolism is greater than the actual meaning. At this time, Dou Jiande really regretted it, if he hadn't moved the capital from Leshou to Yuzhou, he wouldn't have been so passive.

Dou Jiande smiled bitterly: "The situation is very unfavorable now, and the soldiers are petitioning to return to Hebei almost every moment, but this time it is easy to come back to Hebei, and if you want to fight back to Hedong, I am afraid it will be difficult." ”

Ling Jing sighed and said: "The wishes of the soldiers can't be ignored, do your best, order General Wang to lead from Luzhou back to Xiangzhou, if you can hold Xiangzhou, you can ensure the safety of Xiangzhou!" ”

Dou Jiande finally had to accept this reality, and ordered Wang Xiaohu to return to Xiangzhou in the direction of an eight-hundred-mile fast ride.

Wang Xiaohu was surprisingly efficient, and it only took one night to complete the deployment, and he hurriedly led the troops under his command, which had swelled to almost 100,000 horses, all the way to Xiangzhou.

Along the way, Wang Xiaohu's troops did not stop, but when he hurried to Xiangzhou, he found that Dong Kangmai had told him a shocking bad news, Chen Ying had arrived in Shuiye, and the rear guard of the palace had also passed Zhangqiu.

Hurry up, hurry up, and in the end it's too late.

From Luzhou to Xiangzhou, it is 500 miles. Wang Xiaohu ran over in three days, this is not a cavalry, but an infantry, and it is not a good road along the way, and he has to climb over a Taihang Mountain.

Shuiye Town, on Chen Ying's Wan'an flagship, Feng Li took the information that Chen Ying had just handed him and asked in disbelief:

"How is this possible?"

Feng Li became the head of the Sui Dynasty Eagle Yang Mansion at the age of seventeen, acting as a grassroots leader and general, leading the troops to fight, he was a team step by step from the position of the current East Palace Division, he thought that it was very difficult to understand military affairs. If he is given an elite army, it is not particularly difficult to force 500 miles in three days; But if he is given a recruit who has not undergone the test of blood and fire, such an intensity of forced march, the recruit will be directly on the verge of collapse.

When Chen Ying followed the news that Wang Xiaohu's army had come to aid from Luzhou, he was also very surprised as Feng Li's performance. If Dou Jiande really has such an elite army in his hands, it seems that it is really not so easy to attack. But after thinking about it, Chen Ying didn't feel very strong, in history, Li Shimin didn't use Xuanjia cavalry to rush Dou Jiande's 100,000 army and crush it.

At this moment, Guo Luo's appearance was very strange.

Chen Ying asked, "Is there anything hidden here?" ”

Three days and five hundred miles of mountain roads, not to mention the soldiers and horses of this era, even if it is a professional soldier in later generations, running down in full armor, I am afraid it will not be possible.

Guo Luo whispered softly in Chen Ying's ear: "Lord, in fact, there is no magic, Wang Xiaohu led an army of 100,000 troops from Luzhou to advance lightly, and when he arrived in Xiangzhou, there were only less than 8,000 men and horses around him, and he fell behind one after another along the way, and he couldn't gather the troops together without three or five days of effort." ”

Chen Ying laughed after hearing this, and secretly laughed that Wang Xiaohu was really a wonderful person.

Are such reinforcements useful?

Three days and five hundred miles, and they are still untrained recruits, even if they grit their teeth and insist on running the whole distance, I am afraid that these soldiers will be useless, and there will be no way to come in handy in a short period of time.

Dong Kangmai and Wang Xiaohu combined, Dong Kangmai still has more than 5,000 horses, Wang Xiaohu has more than 8,000 people, but these horses, what can really fight with Chen Ying is only the more than 5,000 people under Dong Kangmai's command, at this time, more than 8,000 parts under Wang Xiaohu's command, people are trembling with chopsticks, let alone tearing them with knives.

Wang Xiaohu smiled bitterly: "This battle can't be fought, it's a head!" ”

Chen Ying was simply a devilish existence in the hearts of the generals of the Xia Army, and the power of the hook and sickle lancers under his command was only famous, but the Mo Sword Army under his command was a lingering nightmare in their hearts.

Dong Kangmai gritted his teeth and shouted: "If you can't beat it, you have to fight, we are the only reinforcements in Xia Guozhou, even if we climb, we are climbing to Zhaozhou!" ”

In order to seize the Central Plains, Dou Jiande desperately overdrew the vitality of Hebei, although there were more than 50,000 people in the city of Zhaozhou at this time, but almost ninety percent of these people were the families of civil and military officials or generals in the army, but it is said that Zhaozhou is almost about to become a daughter country.

Even if Song Zhengben wanted to arm the people of the whole city to defend the city, Song Zhengben counted all the fifteen-year-old boys, and he couldn't even recruit 5,000 people. The most important thing is that even if you can recruit the people to be young and strong, it is useless, after all, the Xia State is not as good as the Tang Dynasty, and the generals who can fight are far inferior to the Tang Dynasty.

But this Song Junchen is just a typical tiger father dog, let him act as an embroidered pillow, he also has the appearance of a military general, if he really fights, he is not really good.

Wang Xiaohu roared with red eyes: "Fight, people die and birds face up!" ”
