Chapter 174: Regrouping

Witnessing Yang Qingwu's expression, Wu Baichang said cautiously: "General, the high walls of Yuanzhou City are thick, and the Tang Army is on guard in advance, so the general should have made a plan for defeat as soon as possible?" ”

Wu Baichang is not optimistic about the situation in Yuanzhou City, and the arrogant army will be defeated. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the battle of Lingzhou, the Hexi army won too easily, and the Hexi army was full of arrogance, and many soldiers did not take the Tang army in their eyes.

It's a pity that the Hexi Army was defeated by the Tang Army in three consecutive battles, which shows that the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army is not as bad as imagined!

"In today's battle, Zhang Yan should successfully break through Yuanzhou, even if he can't, he should also hit the Hexi Army hard!" Yang Qingwu is full of confidence in Zhang Yan.

When Yang Qingwu's words fell, outside the military tent, a long and narrow figure shone in, the figure approached, and Zhang Yan walked into the military tent with a depressed expression!

Before entering the tent, Zhang Yan heard Yang Qingwu's expectations for him, miraculously bitter, his face was embarrassed, he moved to Yang Qingwu, hugged his fists and said: "General, the last general is incompetent, and he has never captured Yuanzhou City, on the contrary, the loss of troops and the general, the last general should die, let the general down." ”

"What?" Suddenly, Yang Qingwu, who was full of Zhang Yan, had a look of displeasure on his face, and asked Zhang Yan angrily: "Zhang Zhonglang, what's going on, tell me clearly?" ”

Zhang Yan led the army and stormed Yuanzhou City four times, but all of them returned in vain, which made Yang Qingwu angry.

Ask yourself, is it possible that the defense of Yuanzhou City is stronger than that of Lingzhou City?

Hearing this, Zhang Yan didn't dare to hide it, and said: "General, this time the troops stationed in Yuanzhou City are the right Qianniuwei of the Tang Dynasty, and the leading general is Gao Xiaoyun, although its strength is not very strong, but the other party seems to have the idea of co-existence with Yuanzhou City, and is not afraid of the Hexi Army at all." ”

"How can this be reasonable, isn't the Tang army afraid that the Hexi Army will break through Yuanzhou City and slaughter the city?" Yang Qingwu's expression crossed a fierce color, and he said angrily.

However, Yang Qingwu also pondered, Gao Xiaoyun was born in the Tang Dynasty, with a profound background, and the Tang Emperor sent Gao Xiaoyun to lead the right thousand Niu Wei to arrive in Yuanzhou City to garrison, which shows that the court is afraid of the Hexi army.

After thinking for a while, Yang Qingwu, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Zhang Zhonglang, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, don't mind, arrange for the army under the tent to rest, and at night, with Chen Zhonglang, lead double the army to attack at night, and strive to seize Yuanzhou City in one go." ”

Yang Qingwu thought that since the Tang Emperor was afraid of the Hexi Army, it was more and more necessary for him to capture Gaoyang City and deter the Tang Dynasty.

"General, don't be rash!" Chen Shaoyang heard Yang Qingwu mention his name, hurriedly stood up, hugged his fists and said: "General, Zhang Zhonglang failed to attack the city four times, which shows that Gao Xiaoyun and Youqian Niuwei are very strong, and if you want to seize Yuanzhou, you need to think in the long run!" ”

"That's right, General!" Wu Baichang also hugged his fists and said: "The general's proposal for a night attack is very good, but it needs to be planned in detail, otherwise, it will be thankless for the Hexi army to attack the city." ”

"General, the last general also suggests, deploy in detail, and re-plan!" General Zhonglang named Guo Poyu also got up, stood in the center of the military tent, and made a suggestion to Yang Qingwu.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the military tent became serious!

The four Zhonglang generals want to forcibly change Yang Qingwu's attitude, a little careless, or Yang Qingwu is self-respecting, and the four Zhonglang generals are in a worrying situation.

Hearing the sound, Yang Qingwu turned around, hurriedly moved, returned to the soft couch, sat next to the dining table, reached out and picked up the wine glass on the dining table, and drank it all!

Put the wine glass heavily on the dining table, raise the palm of his hand and rub his cheek, take a long breath of wine, much calmer, and raise his hand to signal Zhang Yan, Chen Shaoyang, Wu Baichang, and Guo Poyu The four Zhonglang will sit down.

"Sit, let's talk while eating!"

The four of them sat down, Zhang Yan secretly took a breath, in order to protect the Hexi Army, he did not hesitate to destroy the military order.

When he returned with his troops, he was worried that the general would pursue him.

Now, instead of mentioning the military order secretly made between the two, Yang Qingwu is preparing to regroup.

Life is worry-free, there is no need to suffer from military law, Zhang Yan is secretly determined that the next time he leads the army to attack the city, he will live up to expectations, go all out to capture Yuanzhou, and capture Gao Xiaoyun, the general who defends the city!

Yang Qingwu swept over the four Zhonglang generals in front of him with cold eyes, poured wine, and asked: "Wu Zhonglang, Chen Zhonglang, Guo Zhonglang, Zhang Zhonglang, the army is blocked in Yuanzhou City, and the marshal urges, do you have any good strategies to break the city!" ”

Hearing this, Wu Baichang wanted to stand up, but Yang Qingwu waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down and speak.

Wu Baichang coughed lightly twice, and said without hesitation: "General, the Tang army in Yuanzhou City is tenacious, but after four fierce attacks led by Zhang Zhonglang, the Tang army in the city has suffered a lot of casualties, and the city has been seriously damaged!" ”

"That's right, four sieges of the city, the Tang army suffered nearly 10,000 casualties, and the city was seriously damaged by the Hexi army!" Zhang Yan affirmed Wu Baichang's words.

Eagle eyes seemed to be double-eyed, focusing on Wu Baichang, waiting for the other party to explain his own advice.

Yang Qingwu heard Wu Baichang's words, put down the wine jug in his hand, and waited for him to say the following.

Wu Baichang took a full glass of wine and continued to gush: "The Tang army suffered a lot of casualties, and the city was seriously damaged.

However, in order to ensure the success of the night attack and capture the city of Wonju, or send troops to feint and attack the three gates of Wonju, southeast, and west, or force the attack, the main force must be placed at the north gate.

The Hexi Army attacked from all sides, dispersed the deployment of the Tang Army in Yuanzhou City, and then led the army to storm the north gate, which will be easily overcome! ”

Four times in the early stage, Zhang Yan concentrated superior forces at the north gate, and against the east, west and south gates, he only relied on ambushes to deter.

Although it is possible to distract the defenders of Wonju City, the effect is not great, and it is far worse to directly lead the army to attack the east, west, and south gates.

Hearing this, Yang Qingwu pondered, Wu Baichang's proposal was good.

When the Tang army held on to the city of Yuanzhou and could not lead the other party out of the city wall, they attacked the city of Yuanzhou and scattered the forces of the Tang army.

After a little silence, Yang Qingwu said: "Wu Zhonglang's plan is very good, but Ben General proposed to change the attack time, and during the second watch, the Tang army's defense was weakened, and it was quietly sending troops to storm Yuanzhou City!" ”

Determined, Zhang Yan picked up the wine glass and drank it full, hurriedly put down the wine glass, got up and walked quickly to the center of the military tent, and said to Yang Qingwu with a fist: "General, the last general asks to lead the troops, shame on the snow!" ”

There was always that city, and he led his army to attack three times in a row without taking it.

This battle of Yuanzhou made Zhang Yan feel humiliated, and he wanted to lead the troops to attack for the fifth time, which was a shame!

"Zhang Zhonglang's courage is commendable, and he has rich experience in siege, permission!" Yang Qingwu looked at Zhang Yan, noticed that the other party's expression was firm, and he was eager to fight, so he didn't hesitate and agreed directly.

Yan Yan continued to ask: "Zhang Zhonglang, when you are old and strong, take the initiative to ask for battle, who takes the initiative to cooperate with Zhang Zhonglang and lead the army to storm the three gates of Yuanzhou City?" ”

Wu Baichang, Chen Shaoyang, and Guo Poyu looked at each other, Chen Shaoyang stood up and said, "General, the last general asks to lead troops and cooperate with Zhang Zhonglang to capture Yuanzhou City!" (To be continued.) )
