Chapter 399: Xiaoshan Ambush
Yongxing City.
In the tent, Li Ping, the left commander of the Zhendong Army, put his left hand on his waist, his right hand on the hilt of his sword, and stood in the middle of the tent.
"The Wu army is attacking in a big way, how do you think you should retreat from the enemy?" He looked at the generals on either side.
A general snorted coldly: "Your brother himself took 30,000 people to Quzhou, but left us with only 20,000 people to deal with Wu State, this is simply sending us to death!" ”
"Bastard! Quzhou is being attacked by the Tang State, and the shuai has just gone to the rescue, as a soldier and defending the country, where are there so many complaints! Li Ping reprimanded.
A general on the right stood up, pointed at Li Ping and said, "What you said is easy, now that the 50,000 people of the Wu State are coming in three ways, how can you let us resist?" ”
"That's why General Ben asked you what you have to do?" Li Ping said in a deep voice.
"If you want me to say, it's better to follow Zhang Yu and surrender to Wu Guode." Said a general on the left.
After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Ping with a cold gaze.
Li Ping was shocked, and when he looked around, he saw that most of the generals were looking at him with unkind eyes.
They want to rebel! Li Ping realized this instantly.
These generals of the Zhendong Army were originally Xiao Fu's subordinates, and they did not belong to Xiao Fu's lineage, so they were not disposed of when they seized power. After all, if all the generals were to be disposed of, it would likely lead to a mutiny among the soldiers.
If Li Ping was given some time, he could slowly gather the hearts of the army, but when Wu suddenly attacked, he could only take these unfamiliar generals to meet the enemy.
The fact that Li Yan took 30,000 people to Quzhou deepened the dissatisfaction of these generals.
Combined with the fact that they were also dissatisfied with Li Yan's killing of Xiao Fu before, the two kinds of dissatisfaction Qi ng combined and exploded in an instant.
Li Ping understands that this moment has come to a critical existential moment.
Fortunately, this is my own camp, and the outside is my own people.
Li Ping thought about it carefully and judged that these people should only suddenly realize that the dissatisfied person was not his own, and then he had the intention of making trouble. Otherwise, they don't have to talk so much nonsense at all, and they just do it to themselves.
He made a decision in an instant, and with a lunge rushed in front of the officer who said he was going to surrender, and with a flash of his sword, he was cut to the ground. shouted loudly: "General Ben knows that you are a spy of the Wu State!" ”
The other officers were all stunned in place, and one of them reacted and roared loudly: "General Li, you said that he is a spy, but there is evidence?" ”
Li Ping glared at him coldly and did not speak.
At this moment, all the soldiers outside the tent who heard the movement rushed in and surrounded all the generals.
"Take them all!" Li Pingdao has no table qi ngdao.
The other generals immediately understood that he was deliberately using words to confuse the crowd, and his real purpose was to use his voice to attract the soldiers outside the tent.
After all, these generals rolled over between life and death, and at that moment they drew their swords and rushed towards Li Ping, they all understood that only by killing Li Ping could they control the situation.
A fight broke out like this!
After a long time, the battle in the tent was over, and all the rebel generals were killed, Li Ping wiped the blood stains on the sword with his armor, and said loudly: "Hang all the heads of these people outside the gate, and then inform the whole army that these people are plotting to rebel and have been executed by this general." ”
"Yes." Several of his own soldiers took the order.
At this point, Li Ping didn't care whether he would mutiny, and decided to adopt an iron-blooded suppression, and whoever dared to resist would be executed immediately.
Fortunately, in the evening, Li Ping's newly appointed officers took over the armies and battalions, and the soldiers did not mutiny.
After solving the civil strife, Li Ping began to think about how to deal with foreign enemies.
Wu came from three ways, and he had to divide his troops to deal with it, stationed 5,000 people in Zhuji City to resist the Muzhou naval army, and Shicheng garrisoned 5,000 troops to resist the other Wu army.
He now has only 10,000 people defending Yongxing City.
According to the Tanmalay report, the Wu army that came to Yongxing had more than 14,000 people, and the other side was more numerous than himself, and it was a strong army that defeated Tang and Wu Yue many times.
In general, in the face of such an army, the best thing to do is to defend to the death.
But Li Ping had no way to defend it.
Even if he holds it on his side, it will be difficult for Shicheng and Zhuji to hold it.
If you want to hold Yuezhou, the only option is to take the initiative, defeat this Wu army, and then lead troops to reinforce the other two cities.
Li Ping didn't think much about it, and decided to break the cauldron and ambush the Wu army outside the city.
After carefully surveying the terrain, Li Ping decided to set up an ambush in Xiaoshan.
This plan is not without a chance of success, the other party came with a big momentum, maybe he would not think that he dared to take the initiative, this is his only chance.
As long as the opponent is careless, he will give the opponent a head-on blow.
There are many kinds of ambush warfare, and the common denominator is to use the terrain to form a situation where the other side is confused by fighting more and fighting less.
Xiaoshan did not have too narrow sections, and Li Ping chose to divide the troops in two and ambush them on both sides of the mountain road.
When the enemy army passed, the two military horses swooped downward, splitting the enemy army in two, and the end could not be taken into account.
It is difficult to completely annihilate the enemy with this method, as both sides can escape.
But Li Ping's goal in the initial battle was only to win first, boost morale, and eliminate Wu Yue's army's fear of the enemy.
Everything was ready, Li Ping led the army to Xiaoshan and waited patiently in the belly of the mountain.
A few hours later, the enemy finally appeared.
The march of the other side was not fast, the cavalry and infantry were together, and at the forefront was a young general, who rode as he rode and kept looking at both sides.
Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the adjutant general next to Li Ping, and he said in a low voice: "General, did they find us?" ”
"Don't panic, they won't find out." Li Ping said calmly.
Sure enough, the officer kept looking, but he didn't stop, and continued to move forward with his troops.
……
Qin Quan rode his horse forward slowly, and suddenly, a horse behind him accelerated, and said to Qin Quan: "Great marshal, the terrain here is suitable for the enemy to ambush, and the general thinks that he should send someone to reconnoiter first." ”
It was Li Wencheng who spoke.
Zong Si laughed and said, "General Li, there are only 10,000 defenders in Yongxing City, how dare they come out and ambush us!" Besides, even if they did dare to ambush, there was nothing to worry about. ”
"Why?" Li Wencheng was puzzled.
Soji smiled but didn't answer.
Li Wencheng was about to ask again, when Qin Quan's voice came: "Continue to march." ”
Li Wencheng had no choice but to return to his headquarters.
Not long after moving forward, suddenly, drums sounded on both sides of the mountain, and a rain of arrows fell, and at the same time, on both sides of the mountain, two troops rushed down from below like a fierce tiger opening the floodgates.
"Rush! Kill! ”
Qin Quan raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect that the other party would really dare to fight with him outside the city, and the ambush site would dare to choose such an open road.
"Separation from head to end, after three hundred steps, reflexively close around." He calmly ordered.
After speaking, he led the troops of the front army to move forward quickly.
At the same time, the rear army, under the command of Jing Che, changed the front army into a rear team, and quickly retreated in the direction from which it came.
Due to the extremely fast separation of the two armies and the long distance on the slopes on both sides, by the time the enemy rushed down, the two teams in front and behind the Wu army had already withdrawn far away, leaving the enemy in the air.
Li Ping never dreamed that the other party would react so quickly.
Just as he was at a loss for what to do and which way to pursue, the two enemy armies in front and behind turned not far away and rushed towards the middle.
They turned out to be surrounded by counter-surrounding!
Li Ping almost gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Go up the hill!" Get up the hill! ”
However, it is easy to go down the mountain and difficult to go down, and the enemy army follows behind, forming a trend of pursuit.
Li Ping's reaction was also fast, and he said loudly: "Cover each other and retreat!" ”
He personally led a part of his soldiers to resist the pursuing Wu army, but because they were condescending, they were able to resist.
After all the troops had gone up to the hillside, Li Ping hurriedly ordered the army to descend from the other side of the hill and return to Yongxing City as soon as possible.
When running all the way to a distance of ten miles from Yongxing City, Li Ping's troops were caught up by the Wu cavalry, and Li Ping led the cavalry to fight the opponent reflexively, and ordered the infantry to quickly return to the city.
In less than half an hour of cavalry field battle, Li Ping suffered heavy losses, and when he led less than a third of the cavalry to flee back to Yongxing City, his whole body almost collapsed.
But this was not the time to relax, and Wu Jun soon came to the outside of the city.
Li Ping had to force his body to go up to the city* and face the brutal battle of defending the city that was about to come.
……
When Li Yan led the reinforcements to Quzhou, most of Quzhou had already been taken by the Tang army.
The Tang army crossed the border with about 50,000 troops, including 20,000 Anhua troops and 30,000 Zhaowu troops.
In Yingchuan, Li Yan led the 30,000 Zhendong Army to defeat the Zhaowu Army and capture Yingchuan City.
Subsequently, Li Yan was like a bamboo, defeating the Tang army many times, and successively recovering Xujiang, Yushan and Xin'an.
However, in Changshan, he fell into a bitter battle.
It was Xie Yuchen, the general of the Anhua Army, who defended Changshan City, and Li Yan attacked the city several times, but was defused by the other party, which made him gradually anxious.
He was worried that he had been away from Yuezhou for too long, and Wu would take advantage of the situation.
At this moment, he received the news that Wu State was attacking Yuezhou.
He immediately played to Qian Hongyu, hoping to lead the army back to Yuezhou for reinforcements.
A few days later, the post guard sent an official letter from Qian Hongyu, Li Yan's request was denied, and Qian Hongyu ordered him to stay in Quzhou and expel the Tang army.
At this point, Li Yan finally understood that Yuezhou and Mingzhou had been abandoned by King Wu Yue.
He had heard it a long time ago that King Wu Yue planned to set the capital in Wenzhou, and it should not be wrong to look at it now.
Yuezhou and Mingzhou are too far away from Wenzhou, and King Wu Yue can no longer take care of them.
Quzhou is different, as long as the Tang army invades, it will pose a threat to the southern states of Wu Yueguo, if it is united with the Qingyuan army, Wu Yueguo may have the disaster of destroying the country.
Li Yan wanted to understand this, so he did not reinforce Yuezhou, but hoped that King Wu Yue could transfer the defenders of Yuezhou to Quzhou to help him recapture Quzhou.
This time, King Wu Yue agreed very happily, and Li Yan immediately sent people to Pegasus to Yongxing.
