1187. Chapter 1187: The Siege
The people in the rebel-held areas are miserable. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Liu Bai and Yuan Fu are not unaware of what the rebels are doing, but now that this situation is happening, they can only turn a blind eye.
It is up to these people to fight the war, and if they are punished, will it cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers?
Today's Liu Bai can be said to have violated his original principles.
He also wants to be a good person, even a good monarch and emperor, but he is forced by reality, and now he can only do things that he disdained before.
And just when the people of the place he ruled were miserable, Tang Zhou besieged the city with 10,000 soldiers and horses.
Although he didn't think that the rebels were still capable of breaking through the Sword Gate, he was as cautious as Tang Zhou, and still left 5,000 people to defend it.
10,000 people attacking the city is not much, and it is not even possible to capture the city at all.
And Tang Zhou, a person who has studied the art of war with Li Jing, naturally knows this truth very well, and both sides may not be able to win a tough battle, let alone attack the city.
Therefore, after Tang Zhou came to the outside of Yizhou with 10,000 soldiers and horses, he did not rush to attack the city, but set up camp and waited for the opportunity.
At the same time, in Yizhou City, Yuan Fu was conspiring with Liu Bai.
"Lord Wang, Tang Zhou only brought 10,000 soldiers and horses, he just didn't take us seriously, why don't you take it while it's unstable, we will also give them a surprise attack."
Liu Bai's expression was indifferent, and after a while, he said: "Tang Zhou is not a stupid person, if you play the things you have played before, do you think there is a possibility of success?" ”
"What does the prince mean?"
"Send men to harass them, so that they will not rest, and tomorrow morning, lead the army out of the city and fight with them."
Now Liu Bai's power is still a little stronger, if they can make Tang Zhou very tired, then tomorrow they can go out of the city to fight with them, if this battle can be won, they will definitely regain the initiative.
Liu Bai's decision was very risky, because they were no longer like back then, and they were hit one after another, and their morale was very low, but in Liu Bai's opinion, this may be their best choice now.
Yuan Fu pondered for a moment and felt that it was okay, so he sent five hundred men and horses to let them invade the Tang army at night, and there was no need to fight with them, as long as they could disturb them and not rest.
The night is getting deeper, after 500 soldiers and horses out of Yizhou City, they went straight to the Tang army camp, at this time in the Tang army camp, torches are lit everywhere, the autumn wind is raging, and the torches are swaying.
Tang Zhou and a group of generals sat together to drink and eat, the meal was not delicious, similar to ordinary soldiers, but there was one more roasted whole sheep than ordinary soldiers, everyone used a knife to cut off a piece of meat and put it on their plates, and then ate it.
After a few bites, I poured another sip of wine and was addicted.
At this time, the rebel army of 500 was already approaching the Tang family's military camp.
A guard hurriedly came to report: "Master Hou, the rebels are attacking the camp." ”
Tang Zhou showed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and he didn't think that this matter was particularly serious, and said, "Have all Benhou's people been arranged?" ”
"Don't worry, Master Hou, it's all arranged."
Tang Zhou nodded: "Since everything is arranged, let them attack." ”
The guards were ordered to retreat, and Tang Zhou continued to drink with everyone, and everyone didn't seem to care much about this matter, and the wine was drunk one after another.
------------------------
After the five hundred rebels came to the Tang family's military camp, they first greeted a round of sharp arrows, and after the sharp arrows were shot, they scolded at the gate of the barracks, and even beat drums.
But as soon as the Tang army came out, the five hundred rebels immediately turned around and left, so they didn't dare to really confront the Tang family, they only needed to harass them without resting.
The five hundred rebels ran away, and saw that the Tang army did not follow, so they turned back and scolded at the gate of the barracks.
After repeating this three times, the Tang family finally couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly a group of cavalry caught up.
The rebels did not mean to fight with the Tang army, so even if there were not many soldiers and horses chasing out, they should not fight, but they fled in a hurry, but they had just run not far, and a round of sharp arrows suddenly shot in front, sharp arrows rained, and the rebels fell to the ground one after another, and when the sharp arrows were shot, the rebels were only more than 100 people left.
Then, a group of Tang troops rushed out of the shadows in front, and the Tang army in front and the Tang army in the back surrounded the remaining rebels, and then suddenly moved without saying a word.
The Tang army had already held its breath, so it was merciless when it was killed, and in a short time, it had slaughtered the remaining rebels.
After killing all the rebels, they didn't stay where they were, and disappeared into the night.
The news soon spread to the city of Yizhou, Liu Bai was shocked when he heard that the five hundred people he sent were all killed by the Tang family, and then he understood that it was not impossible to harass Tang Zhou, but if he harassed once, he might lose five hundred soldiers and horses, and how many five hundred soldiers and horses could he lose?
Tang Zhou came prepared, if he did this a few more times, he would not be able to fight Tang Zhou to the death, so after thinking about it, Liu Bai decided to give up the invasion and just wait for tomorrow to fight the Tang army.
Perhaps, all the rebellions in Shu will end tomorrow, and perhaps, there will be a battle in Jianmen Pass.
The news of the destruction of the five hundred rebels reached Tang Zhou, Tang Zhou was not particularly excited after hearing it, and after making some arrangements, he ordered everyone to go back to rest.
He didn't know if the rebels would go out of the city tomorrow to fight, but he felt that they should be ready to fight at any time, because only then would they not be eaten by the rebels.
The Tang army barracks, everything is as usual, the night is deep, and the people are quiet.
It was already the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the weather was even colder after nightfall, Li Yuanyu was lying on the bed tossing and turning, but he couldn't sleep.
The things in Shuzhong completely exceeded his expectations, he didn't expect that in just a few months, Tang Zhou would be able to completely control the situation, and now he is even closer to Yizhou City.
Now, Tang Zhou's soldiers and horses and Liu Bai's soldiers and horses are almost the same as before, if Pengzhou and Jianzhou are not lost, Tang Zhou will not dare to attack the city so easily, and now because the rebels have lost Jianzhou and Pengzhou, Tang Zhou will attack the city like this?
Li Yuanyu thought so, but suddenly he sat up from the bed again, he felt that things were far from being so simple, judging from the current situation, Liu Bai could still send troops to surround Tang Zhou from three sides, for Tang Zhou, he did not have any advantages at all.
But he still came with troops, did he have absolute confidence in himself, or did he have another plan?
Here in Tang Zhou, anything is possible.
Li Yuanyu pondered and meditated, but after thinking about it, he couldn't figure out what way Tang Zhou had to win the siege, you must know that it was not easy to capture Yizhou City.
Even if Yizhou City is not as good as Jianmen Pass, it is not much worse.
The night was deeper, Li Yuanyu thought a lot, he thought a lot of tricks that Tang Zhou might use, but after thinking about it, in the end there was no result, he didn't know what he fell asleep on, only that he was woken up by the noise the next morning.
