Chapter 702: Heyang's Gains and Losses

The famous teacher and general are not imprisoned, and thousands of soldiers avoid white robes.

This sentence is talking about Chen Qingzhi, the first general of the Southern Dynasty, and his 7,000 white-robed army.

In that year, Chen Qingzhi led 7,000 white-robed troops and 300,000 Northern Wei troops led by Er Zhurong fought in Zhonglang City, and Chen Qingzhi defended Beizhonglang City to the death, resisting Er Zhurong's 300,000 troops for three days. Later, Er Zhurong sent an artificial raft to smuggle across the Yellow River, attack Luoyang, and cut off Chen Qing's back road, which won the victory.

Now Su Dingfang led 3,000 Zhao troops to garrison Beizhong City, and he faced Li Tang's 120,000 troops stationed outside the city, and the disparity in strength was not inferior to Chen Qingzhi's battle of Yuer Zhurong.

Now Su Dingfang is standing on the head of the city with his sword, and the Tang army in the distance is densely packed, stretching to the horizon, this lineup is really chilling.

Su Dingfang looked back left and right, and saw that the generals and soldiers were intimidated by such a prosperous lineup of the Tang army.

Su Dingfang suddenly laughed, and after seeing that all the generals were looking at him, he said confidently: "Su Fujun wrote to me before, asking our army to defend Heyang City for three days and retreat across the south bank. ”

Speaking of this, all the generals smiled and were in a much better mood. Su Dingfang used a strategy to postpone the date of the general attack of Li Tang's army by two days, which made the soldiers of the whole city admire this general.

Although Chen Qingzhi's feat is desirable to everyone, if he really wants Sergeant Zhao to use 3,000 troops to resist more than 100,000 Tang troops under the city, this is definitely something that cannot be done by manpower. Now Su Dingfang said that he could retreat after holding on for another day, and all the troops were relieved in their hearts.

At that time, Chen Qingzhi was able to hold on for three days, and he and Er Zhurong were evenly matched. Why can't they stay there for a day?

The worries in the hearts of General Su Dingfang had been dispelled, and he couldn't help but nodded. But he knew that things weren't as rosy as they thought.

The three-day story is just a lie. In fact, Su Su wrote to himself before, saying that in the south of Luoyang City, the vanguard of Li Tangnanlu's army had appeared. At present, the Tang army is attacking from the north and south, heading straight for Luoyang. The troops in Luoyang City are also stretched, and I am afraid that they will not be able to send many reinforcements to reinforce Heyang.

Su Su said that it was difficult for Su Dingfang to hold Heyang with this amount of troops, but Heyang was the northern gateway of Luoyang, and once Heyang was lost, then the Tang army would inevitably cross Heyang and reach Luoyang City. So Su Su asked Su Dingfang to do his best. Hold on as long as you can. And he will also try his best to gather reinforcements and send them to Hayang.

Just as Su Dingfang was groaning, his subordinates told the water in the south, and suddenly a small boat came from the lower reaches of the Yellow River and approached the city.

At this time, the Tang army had already blocked the north bank of the river, and in order to prevent the Tang army from raising boats to cross the river, Su Dingfang had already ordered all ships to return to the south bank of the Yellow River and not allow them to cross the river, and this small boat came really strangely.

"It's a fan who came up from the general's boat! Ask to see the general. ”

"Fanren?" Su Dingfang was slightly surprised and said, "Bring it to the city tower." ”

After going up to the city tower, this fan man grinned and clenched his fists and said: "Tu Xiu Hegu see the general!" ”

Su Dingfang frowned and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The man said: "Below is a deputy under the account of the British and Grephone commanders. Hearing that the Tang army is coming to attack Heyang, I am here to report to General Su! ”

Su Dingfang was surprised and said, "Oh, could it be that the cavalry of the Murde Xi Department is also nearby?" ”

Tu Xiuhegu nodded and said, "Yes, my general has 20,000 cavalry." He had already secretly arrived in Liyang City a month ago, and he was ordered by His Majesty to take advantage of Li Shentong's army to attack Heyang. Our army attacked Hanoi in order to cut off its rear route. Unexpectedly, this time Li Tang's main force was actually in Hanoi. ”

Tu Xiu Hegu looked annoyed, if Li Tangzhen entered the army according to the original plan. Li Shentong's road is the weakest place in the army, if the first opportunity to defeat Li Shentong's troops, the north of Luoyang can be worry-free, and the army can cross Heyang to reinforce Luoyang. In this way, even if Luoyang City is in the Tang Army Pass, and the main forces of Bashu are attacked, the chance of holding it is greatly increased.

But now the offensive of the Don army has changed.

Su Dingfang said: "In this case, where is the 20,000 troops to be led by Yinghefu?" Is it to cross the Yellow River south from Liyang to reinforce Luoyang, or to advance westward from Liyang 6 Road and attack the Tang Army's grain road east of the river? ”

Tu Xiuhegu lowered his head and said, "This is also what Lord Yinghefu is worried about, so he sent his subordinates to contact General Su and ask how many days can Heyang City be held if the Tang army attacks Heyang with all its might?" ”

Su Dingfang turned his head and stared at the other party and asked, "Then how many days does the Yinghe Fu army want me Su Dingfang to defend?" ”

Tu Xiuhegu arched his hand and said: "To tell the truth, the more the merrier, Lord Yinghefu's 20,000 cavalry is already on the way to Heyang, less than fifty miles away, and this Qiē Tang army still does not know. ”

Hearing Tu Xiu Hegu say this, Su Dingfang's eyes suddenly lit up, and Ying Hefu's 20,000 cavalry rushed to Heyang, indicating that they came to attack the Tang army's grain route. With the attack of the steppe cavalry advancing and retreating like the wind, the Tang army was helpless even if it had 120,000 troops.

In this way, his persistence in Heyang is very meaningful, as long as he holds on for one day, then the chance of the Ying Hefu cavalry cutting off the Tang army's grain route is one point greater. Judging from the entire battle situation, one more day of holding on to Heyang would be more beneficial to Zhao Jun.

Then Heyang is a key pivot point for this Tang and Zhao war.

And just when Su Dingfang was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a bang, and the war drums of the Tang army under the city sounded.

At this time, it seemed that the earth suddenly sank, and the formation of hundreds of thousands of Tang troops outside the city was about to attack the city.

Su Dingfang didn't have time to think much about the city, raised his sword and shouted: "Prepare to fight!" ”

Just a few days before Li Jiancheng's army was about to attack Heyang, Youjing Linshuo Palace was in a busy state.

The news of the Tang and Zhao wars had reached the palace, and all of a sudden, the vigilance inside and outside the palace had been strengthened several times. In front of the palace gates everywhere are the court guards patrolling the Eredivisie.

In Li Chongjiu's study.

Wen Yanbo, Ji Chuan, Zhang Xuansu, and Yu Shinan are all stern.

Li Chongjiu stood in front of the map with his hands in his hand, the Yellow River meandered in the center of the map, and at the focus of Li Chongjiu's gaze, several arrows on the map spread out with teeth and claws, and now the hundreds of thousands of troops of Tang and Zhao were facing each other on both sides of the Yellow River with Luoyang as the center.

Incense burns lightly in the study,

Li Chongjiu said: "If the main force of the Tang army really appears in Hanoi, then it is bound to attack Heyang, and then cross the Yellow River to attack Luoyang with Li Xiaogong's army." Where is the 20,000-strong army of Ingavir? ”

"Your Majesty, Inghefu has sent someone to send an urgent report of 500 li, saying that he is already on the way west to Hanoi with 20,000 cavalry." Zhang Xuansu said.

Yu Shinan said: "Your Majesty, Ying Hefu's move is very decisive." ”

"Decisive is decisive, but Li Tang has a full 120,000 army in Heyang, can he save Heyang if he goes west to Hanoi?" Ji Chuan said.

Yu Shinan said: "Ji Shilang is too worried, the 20,000 cavalry of Yinghefu is not enough to block the enemy, but there is more than enough to disturb the enemy, as long as Heyang City can hold on, there is such a cavalry behind the Tang army, and it is always not at ease, as long as the Tang army's grain road is cut off, the Tang army will be in danger." ”

"But the question is, how many days can Heyang City hold out?"

Hearing Ji Chuan say this, Li Chongjiu thought of the Heyang guard Su Dingfang he arranged, the other party was the one who destroyed the Three Kingdoms in history and captured the three masters, which was not inferior to Xu Shiji, Li Jing's famous general, he shouldn't be abnormal.

However, war is just not to pin hope on fantasy, the war between the two countries this time is a gamble on national fortunes, the competition is military, economic, and strength, and we cannot pin our hopes on one or two famous generals to miraculously turn the tide.

After all, the ratio of strength between Heyang City and the Tang Army is too great.

Li Chongjiu said: "Don't think about how many days Heyang will hold on, if Heyang is lost, what should I do next?" ”

Zhang Xuansu said: "Your Majesty, Zhongshu Province has already had a countermeasure, Xu Shiji's Tunwei army has already sent troops from Xingyang and is rushing to Wuguan, if the main force of the Tunwei army appears in Wuguan, it will inevitably threaten the flank of Li Tangnanlu's army." At the same time, if Heyang is lost, Ying Hefu's 20,000 cavalry can also cross the Yellow River, land directly at Hugao Pass, and then gallop to Luoyang. ”

Hearing Zhang Xuansu say this, Li Chongjiu nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's how it should be, as long as Luoyang supports me until the main force arrives, it's fine." ”

Wen Yanbo said: "Your Majesty, right now, the Yi Guard Army and the Wu Wei Army are ready, can you drive the expedition in person?" ”

Li Chongjiu did not immediately agree when he heard this, and asked rhetorically: "What is the Turkic trend?" ”

"There has been nothing unusual in the Turks this month, and the exchange between the two families in the spring is also very normal. I heard that Luo Khan has been sick recently, and now it is Princess Yicheng who is in charge of big and small things for him. ”

"What about the Jianghuai Army?"

"After Li Tang's army was mobilized, Du Fuwei deliberately sent people to Youjing, saying that he had no intention of going north, but he would pretend to mobilize people at the border, but he would not really do it."

Li Chongjiu smiled when he heard this: "This time the Turks, the Jianghuai army is very obedient, why do I seem a little abnormal?" ”

Yu Shinan said with a smile: "Since the destruction of Goguryeo, the Turks have taken the initiative to show favor to us, not to mention that this time the main battle of Chuluo Khan fell ill. As for Du Fuwei, I don't think he has the courage to dare to take advantage of the fire at this time. ”

Li Chongjiu said: "Very good! ”

"Your Majesty, Pei Ju asks to see you!"

"Let him in!"

But seeing the white pale Pei Juda, he stepped inside and said, "Congratulations!" Congratulations! ”

Li Chongjiu asked, "What is the joy of it?" ”

Pei Ju said: "Of course, it is He Majesty Xià Weijia Sihai." Princess New Rodman has already agreed to the request of our army and has sent 5,000 Silla troops to cross the sea to help in the war. ”

"In addition, the king of Baekje also took the initiative to send 3,000 troops, and he is willing to obey His Majesty's dispatch."

Li Chongjiu smiled when he heard this: "It's really good, although there are not many people in Silla Baekje, and they can't help anything, but I have received this intention." ”

Zhang Xuansu said: "This is all the majesty of His Majesty, the defeat of Goguryeo, so that Silla and Baekje completely surrendered to our army." ”

Li Chongjiu said: "In this case, I have decided to reinforce Luoyang from Youjing soldiers and the army tomorrow!" ”
