838 Lead the snake out of the hole
Donglai County, Huang County.
This is the base camp of Lu Wenlong's garrison, with a total of about 20,000 soldiers and horses, responsible for defending the coastline of the entire Jiaozhou Peninsula, but in the face of the multi-way attack of 100,000 Tang troops, more than ten county towns were connected in a short period of time.
"Chuan Zhen's order, surround Huang County on all sides, and capture Lu Wenlong alive!"
Li Shimin succeeded in one blow, and was full of spirit, and successively sent many messengers to urge Li Keyong, Jin Danzi, Li Siyuan, Shi Jingsi and other people from all walks of life to assemble in Huangxian County and prepare to annihilate Lu Wenlong's army.
With Li Shimin's order, nearly 100,000 Tang troops gathered in Huangxian from Yexian, Qucheng, Muping, Guanyang and other places, and gradually formed an encirclement posture against Lu Wenlong's army.
"Your Majesty, it is difficult for our army to cross the sea to make a long expedition and supply, in case the retreat route is cut off by the Han army's naval division, it will fall into an unfavorable realm, according to the minister's opinion, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the Han army has not yet assembled heavy troops, and retreat quickly!" Qin Hui looked sincere and tried his best to persuade Li Shimin.
Li Shimin stroked his beard and laughed: "Haha...... Qin Qing is not excellent, why didn't you attack Qingzhou early or late, why did you gather a large army to attack Qingzhou across the sea at this time? ”
"Please forgive your Majesty for being foolish, I really can't figure out the holy will." It's not that Qin Hui's performance is realistic, but I really can't guess why Li Shimin suddenly gathered heavy troops in just three days and crossed the sea to storm Qingzhou.
Li Shimin gloated with a grim face: "Our army scouts found out that when Liu Wei was fighting with Meng Tian, he attacked the enemy and fell into an ambush, and was shot into a hedgehog by Meng Tian. This matter has been spread in Jinling, and the people are panicked, and the major forces of the Eastern Han Dynasty are intriguing for the successor. It was when we took the opportunity to inflict heavy losses on the Han army to expand its territory, so how could we miss this great opportunity? As the saying goes, God doesn't take it. Blame it! ”
"Ah...... Liu Wei was shot? ”
Listening to Li Shimin's words, Qin Hui was dumbfounded. Only then did he understand why Li Shimin would gather heavy troops across the sea to storm Qingzhou with lightning speed. If Liu Wei died, would the conditions promised to him still be fulfilled, which made Qin Hui feel confused, and even the six gods had no master.
Li Shimin stroked his beard and smiled: "This Liu Wei is really a strange thing, and he can even do something like going to the meeting with a single knife, and it is not strange to personally lead the troops to fight." It's just that he forgot that there is a saying in China that you always walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet? Sooner or later, he will hit a ghost after walking too much at night, and being shot by Meng Tian is also his own fault! ”
"Yes, yes...... Your Majesty is very right! Qin Hui kept praising and praising him, "In contrast." Or is it that you are more emperorly, acting steadily, strategizing, and winning a thousand miles, and my Datang will dominate the world just around the corner. ”
Li Shimin smiled and said: "Of course, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, even if Liu Wei dies, the family is still there." Those brave and good fighters in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The famous generals who galloped on the battlefield are not vegetarians, and the total army of 1.2 million in the Eastern Han Dynasty is the existence that my Tang Dynasty looks up to, so I have ordered Li Ji and Li Mu to attack Li Jing and entangle the Han army in Hebei. So that they could not return to the division to rescue Qingzhou. ”
"Your Majesty, with all due respect, the army under the command of General Li Ji is as high as 250,000. Will...... What selfishness did you have? In order to frame Li Ji, Qin Hui took great pains. At this moment, although it is not clear whether Liu Wei is really dead or faked dead, he still can't help but slander Li Ji.
"The minister knows that General Li Ji has made great achievements. But the merit is high and the lord is arrogant, and there are many people who are proud of their merits, and the minister only entered this heartfelt word for His Majesty. The minister also knew that speaking like this would offend General Li Ji, and even cause His Majesty's disgust, but for the sake of Li Tang's country and duty, the minister had to risk his life to admonish. Qin Hui knelt on the ground as he spoke, looking loyal.
Li Shimin's eyes turned quickly, and he stroked his beard and said, "Hmm...... It can be seen that Qin Qing said from the bottom of his heart, I have my own plans in my heart, you get up! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust." Qin Hui breathed a sigh of relief and got up from the ground, "Your Majesty, there are as many as 50,000 naval divisions and more than 500 warships in Qingzhou, so you need to beware of Zheng Sen cutting off our army's water replenishment route from the sea, causing our army to fall into a disadvantageous situation." ”
Li Shimin said confidently: "Although Qin Qing can rest assured, in addition to the 100,000 troops who landed, I also ordered Li Sunchen to lead 30,000 sailors, with 50 tortoiseshell ships as the backbone and 100 ships as wings, to wait for the Yellow Sea. As long as Zheng Sen goes to sea, I will lead the army to take advantage of the situation, attack Jiaoxian, and destroy the Qingzhou Navy Battalion of the Han Army in one fell swoop! I'm not afraid that Zheng Sen will go to sea, I'm afraid that he will stay at home and not move. ”
Regarding Li Shimin's way of using troops, Qin Hui had to admire the five-body throw: "Although my Tang Dynasty is small, Your Majesty is majestic and strategic, and he uses soldiers like a god, and he will set the Central Plains, which is just around the corner." ”
After a day and a night, Li Keyong, Li Siyuan, Jin Danzi, Shi Jingsi and other people from all walks of life entered the territory of Donglai County one after another, ranging from 30 to 100 miles away from Huang County.
Li Shimin took his generals to observe the city of Huangxian for a long time, and instructed Li Cunxuan: "Withdraw half of the soldiers and horses surrounding Huangxian, let Lu Wenlong out of the city, and then ambush the Han army along the way." ”
Li Cunmiao looked puzzled: "Your Majesty? This...... It was not easy to surround the Han army in Huangxian, how could they be let go? ”
Li Shimin looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "This is a plan to capture the old and indulge, the city of Huangxian is thick and thick, Lu Wenlong is brave and good at fighting, and there are 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city." If you storm the city, you will definitely pay heavy casualties. After half of our army is withdrawn, Lu Wenlong, a scheming man, will definitely seize the opportunity to break through, and our army is concentrating its forces on the wilderness to encircle and suppress the Han army. ”
"Your Majesty's clever calculation, Weichen can't do it!" Li Cunqiao shook his head to the ground, happy and convinced.
With Li Shimin's order, Li Cunmiao withdrew 20,000 of the 40,000 soldiers and horses besieging Huangxian, leaving only 20,000 bluffs. Moreover, he took the initiative to let go of the south gate of Huangxian County, leaving the Han army to escape.
At the same time, Li Shimin urgently ordered Jin Danzi, Li Keyong, Li Siyuan, Shi Jingsi and other generals to lead their troops to set up an ambush on the road from Huangxian to Beihai, as long as Lu Wenlong left the city, he would concentrate superior forces to encircle and suppress Lu Wenlong in the wilderness, and strive to completely annihilate the 20,000 Han troops retreating from Huangxian in one fell swoop.
Lu Wenlong saw that half of the Tang army had suddenly withdrawn on the city wall, and hurriedly convened a meeting of the generals and colonels under his command, and proposed: "Half of the Tang army has withdrawn, and nine times out of ten it is to attack other county towns, so our army might as well take this opportunity to break through from the south gate to the Beihai Kingdom." Strive to unite Wang Jingluo's county soldiers as soon as possible, as well as Wei Wenchang's army, make a comeback, and regain the lost territory! ”
In the face of the sudden offensive of the Tang army, Lu Wenlong's generals and colonels were in chaos, and they echoed Lu Wenlong's proposal after listening to it: "What the general said is that Li Shimin is personally driving, and the Tang army is menacing. Our army is difficult to support alone, and it is time to retreat as soon as possible, and the so-called green mountains left behind are not afraid of no firewood, and the comeback is unknown! ”
Zheng Hun, a staff member, came out of the queue and arched his hand: "General Lu, in my humble opinion, this is Li Tang's plan to capture the old man and lure the snake out of the hole." If our army leaves Huangxian, it will inevitably encounter a heavy attack by the Tang army on the way, and I am afraid that it will fall into a place of no return. The correct strategy of our army should be to hold on and wait for reinforcements, and it is more than enough to support the city with grain and grass for a month. At that time, Wang Jingluo's assassination history, General Wei Wenchang, even the sailors of General Zheng Chenggong, and even the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou Qin Shubao Dudu will try to rescue our army. ”
Lu Wenlong raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly: "I have the courage to be brave for ten thousand people, even if there is an ambush, what is there to fear?" You don't have to say much, get out of the way! ”
"General, if you go out of the city, you will be ambushed!" Zheng Hun tried his best to admonish.
Lu Wenlong was furious: "You dare to strengthen the enemy's majesty and destroy the morale of our army? I have two guns in my hands, even if there is an ambush, what can I do? If it weren't for your kindness, I would have cut off your head this time and retreat quickly! ”
Zheng Hun shook his head and sighed after leaving the handsome tent: "There is a brave and unscrupulous, self-confident horseman, this time I am afraid that I will embark on the road of no return, but it is a pity that I have killed 20,000 soldiers!" ”
Zheng Hun's complaint reached Lu Wenlong's confidant, and he immediately reported it to Lu Wenlong, who couldn't help but be furious, and personally led the troops straight to Zheng Hun's camp, arrested Zheng Hun, and said to the soldiers of the three armies: "This person has raised Tang Kou's ambition, destroyed my Han prestige, and cursed our army five times, he would have been dealt with by military law and beheaded to show the public!" ”
With Lu Wenlong's order, the shirtless nephew raised a bright big knife and slashed at Zheng Hun, who was tied up with five flowers.
"Lu Wenlong, you brave and unscrupulous horseman, it's not a pity for me Zheng Hun to die, but I pity the lives of 20,000 soldiers!" Zheng Hun pulled his throat, closed his eyes and shouted hysterically.
With a "poof", Zheng Hun's head fell to the ground, bright red blood splashed on the ground, and his eyes were dead.
Under the sunset, Lu Wenlong was fully clothed, mounted with two guns in his hand, and said in a loud voice: "Soldiers, break through with me!" Leave the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood, we will make a comeback after meeting the army, and sooner or later we will recover the lost land! ”
With Lu Wenlong's order, the suspension bridge of the south gate of Huangxian County slowly fell, and the city gate opened quickly in the sound of "squeak". Lu Wenlong jumped on the horse with a spear, went out of the city first, and the 20,000 Han troops waved their flags, followed behind, left Huangxian in the dark night, and retreated along the post road in the direction of Beihaiguo.
The night is vast and the crescent moon is bright.
The 20,000 Han army walked for more than 20 miles, and suddenly a drum sounded, and a Tang general immediately led the 20,000 Tang army to block Lu Wenlong's way, it was Li Siyuan, the general of the Tang army.
"Haha...... Lu Wenlong, you are a scheming man, you fell for my Tang Emperor's plan to lure the snake out of the hole, why don't you get off the horse and die! Li Siyuan rode a horse and danced a knife and took Lu Wenlong directly.
"Humph! Except for Li Yuanba, your other Tang Kou are just some wine bags and rice bags, even if there are millions, what are you afraid of? This time, I will definitely let you see the power of Lu Wenlong, who has two guns! Lu Wenlong was angry and rushed to meet him.
(Exhausted all my efforts are another shift, a little exhausted, thanks to all the brothers who supported the swordsman, I really tried my best) (To be continued.) )
