Chapter 555: Siege (7)
The battle on the beachhead of the Yellow River was fierce and cruel, the Tang army was surging, and Wei Chi and his troops were not afraid, and the Tang army was in close contact with the beachhead, and in less than half an hour, the beachhead of the Yellow River turned into a hell full of corpses.
It really responds to Li Shimin's words, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and once the infantry army meets head-on and is entangled, it depends on whose offensive is more fierce, whose desire to survive is stronger, and who can hold on longer.
More and more people of the Tang army crossed the bridge, and gradually lined up in an array on the bank of the Yellow River, which was a harbinger for the Tang army to gain a firm foothold on the bank, and the fighting in front of it became louder and louder, and people kept falling, and people kept coming forward, blood began to flow wantonly, and human lives were disappearing rapidly.
Of course, don't look at the fighting is getting more and more tragic, but the headquarters of Wei Chikai, who is not far from the camp, is not much dangerous, and there are not too many obstacles on both sides of the river, and the intention of letting the other party cross the river is actually obvious.
In the past, the strategic back and forth, the final result was that the Tang army crossed the river to fight, and Li Po's army became the role of guarding the beachhead, which was undoubtedly a strategic victory.
Just when the war drums were rumbling, and the Tang Army's marshal flag slowly moved forward, urging the troops to cross the river.
The west gate of Puban was finally opened, and a group of people rushed out of the city gate in a chaotic manner, looking like they were going to attack Wei Chi Kai back and forth.
In the back of the army, under a big banner, Wei Chikai's expression was like iron, and when he heard the news that the Tang army had left the city, he only pouted slightly.
"Send an order to Wang Dagui, ask him to stop the rabbit cubs coming out of the city, and let one go, I am the only one who asks."
Enemy on the belly and back? As a disciple of the Yang family, he has been fighting with Li Po in Jin for many years, since he has led his troops to such a "dangerous" place, how can he be afraid of being attacked on his back?
His eyes were only staring at the Tang Army Marshal Banner on the other side at this time, with a big Li character on it, showing that it should be Li Er's arrival, Wei Chikai secretly muttered, if this is flat ground, Lao Tzu will definitely lead someone to cut off Li Er's head, and who would dare to hold his head high in front of him?
Those elites of the Tang Army who broke through three shield walls in a row and slowly advanced towards his Chinese army could not stop his beautiful YY.
In fact, at this point, don't look at the Tang Army's offensive becoming more and more prosperous, but the battle of the river beach is already coming to an end.
Zhang Lun's battle flag appeared behind Wei Chikai's flank, and two thousand cavalry followed, sweeping away the defenders out of the city like a storm and clouds, and almost rushed into the gate of the West City, robbing the credit of the infantry army.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Chongmao, who fled from the city, died in the chaos.
Li Shimin did not create any miracles this time, and the well-trained and battle-hardened Jindi army used a stronger posture and a more orderly strategy and tactics to make the Tang army gain nothing and suffer heavy losses.
When Zhang Lun's troops arrived, the battle flag of the Tang army swayed, and the horn of the retreating soldiers also sounded with a whimper.
In the sound of war drums, the soldiers moved forward together, tore off a bloody tail of the Tang army, and retreated to the west bank to cross the Yellow River pontoon bridge.
The Tang army on the Pujin Bridge endured the baptism of waves of arrows, and after the First World War, on the river beach and pontoon bridge, the corpses of the Tang army were covered with a layer, and the blood made the bridge surface red.
When Wei Chikai, who had made a contribution, saw Zhang Lun, the first sentence was regret: "It's a pity that I couldn't wait for Li Er to cross the river, otherwise our brothers will work together and will definitely be able to capture Li Er and send it to the general......"
said on his mouth, in fact, seeing that it was Zhang Lun who came to help, Wei Chikai's heart also jumped twice, you must know that in the battle of Longmen at the end of last winter, although Zhang Lun was heavily rewarded, his reputation was also a lot worse among the generals of various departments.
If Zhang Lun is hidden on one side, he wants to wait for Li Er to cross the river and then come to grab credit...... Wei Chikai couldn't help but curse secretly, his mother is so dangerous.
Does Zhang Lun have such a mind? Then there is no need to ask, if he is in command of the army, even if he sees Wei Chi and his troops annihilated on the river beach, he must wait until the Tang army crosses the river.
Because with the current troops, it is possible to leave Li Er on the east bank of the Yellow River, since there is such a possibility, then you might as well give it a try, as for the life and death of Wei Chikai, people like Zhang Dabeard will not think about it.
It's a pity that he didn't dare to watch Wei Chi and his troops fight to the death with the Tang army, nor could he really let the Tang army cross the river, so he had many concerns.
As a newly surrendered person, he can occupy the position of a general of Weifu, and there are not many people in the army who are angry, and vaguely he already has a reputation in the army for not being able to save him, if he acts recklessly, even if Li Po does not cut off his head, his colleagues will inevitably attack in groups.
His roots in the Jindi army are basically shallow, and if he is wantonly squeezed out by his colleagues, it is conceivable what he will end up with.
Moreover, the most important point is that the military order is very clear that there is no need to make meritorious contributions, just to prevent the Tang army from crossing the river, and there is no intention to let them do it at all.
Therefore, Zhang Lun was scratching his beard at this time, and he was quite sorry in his heart, he saw the shadow of King Qin twice, but he didn't catch it, and he was also very dissatisfied here.
But he, like Wei Chi, also smiled and said: "What General Wei Chi said is that I heard that Li Erlang is brave and good at fighting, and when I see it today, it's just like that, and it's not that people come to die, but he shrinks back and becomes a turtle?" It's a pity, it's a pity......"
When the two of them joined forces, firmly guarded the beachhead, and sent someone to report to Li Po, the two of them did not wait for the follow-up military order, and could only watch Luo Shixin's cavalry turn around the city to provoke.
Of course, they didn't have to wait long, this time there was no Chen Yuan fighting, and Yuwen Wok won the lottery.
His subordinate general Zhao Shixun once again took the lead in building the city, and beheaded several people in the city, successfully gaining a firm foothold, and Wang Xing's headquarters unexpectedly became the breakthrough of the siege army.
Because he was not facing the main force of the siege army, and seeing the army under the city divide his troops, everyone breathed a sigh of relief first, such laxity seems inconspicuous, but in the stalemate siege battle, it is particularly deadly.
In addition, Lu Chongmao escaped from the city soon after, and Wang Xingben was in a state of confusion for a while, and immediately had the idea of fleeing and surrendering.
The main general is distracted, and can he still expect his subordinates to fight desperately?
Of course, most of the grass kings like Wang Xingben who fell into it for no reason are the fate of people, they are not firm in their will to fight, and they can't see what the road ahead is, and the end of standing in line is like this, even if they survive and get a half-official position, with their talents and character, most of them will not end well.
The city of Beicheng was about to be destroyed, and Wang Xing was immediately lowered......
Subsequently, Xu Shiji of Dongcheng led 500 soldiers to the city and made contributions in Dongcheng, Dugu Yanyun saw that the city was about to be lost, and led the people to retreat into the city, fighting to the death.
When the army swarmed in through the city gate, his dying struggle could not stir up too many waves, except for showing a bit of the heroism of the Kansai people.
Dugu Yanyun died in battle, according to the established fate, to this day, how many of the famous Xuanwu Sect Nine Generals are left now?
At this point, the war around Kabasaka came to an end.
The battle flag of the Tang Army planted at the head of Pusaka City fell, and the Sun, Moon and Star Banner reoccupied it, except for adding a few footnotes to this troubled era of life, it did not change anything, and it was not enough to change anything.
The two giants collided here, and Kabasaka, who was sandwiched in the middle, was naturally not unharmed.
There are not many people left in Puban City, when Yao Junsu resisted Li Tang in Puban, and when he was besieged for a long time, the soldiers and civilians in Puban City were almost to the point of cannibalism.
When Yao Junsu was killed, Wang Xingben led the crowd to vote for Li Po first, and then defected to Tang, and the people of Pusaka, who had eaten a full meal for a few days, ushered in war again.
Today, the original prosperous Puban Castle has been changed beyond recognition, and there is not one in ten people in the city, and it can be said that the people here are one of the places where the Jin land has suffered the most from the war.
When Li Po decided to conquer Pusaka in the first battle, there were not many middle-aged people in the city, not even a few children and old people, and most of the rest were some women and women, and the scene was somewhat similar to that of Mayi in the north.
Wang Xingben and Lu Chongmao's heads quickly climbed the flagpole at the head of the city, although Li Po was disgusted with this kind of barbaric method, but if everyone didn't see the fate of these culprits intuitively, with the temperament of people these years, those bold guys would dare to repeat the mistakes of the past.
For Dugu Yanyun, what Li Po did was very in line with the rules of the world.
He picked out the corpses of Dugu Yanyun and those Kansai Xiaoguo who died in battle, and sent them to the other side one after another. By this time, his plans had become long-term.
If Dugu Yanyun is still alive, the fate is estimated to be no different from Wang Xingben, but the family is dead, so you might as well be generous.
Moreover, now that the west has entered Guanzhong, the idea of waving the army to Chang'an has taken root in Li Po's mind, and it is also necessary for the people of Guanxi to show his "benevolent" and "polite" side after seeing his majesty.
Of course, after hearing Zhang Lun and Wei Chikai's report, he also felt a little regretful in his heart, if he knew that Li Er personally led the army to cross the river, then let him go......
Well, it's true that he is a little greedy and insufficient, and now he is bent on stability, and he has fully realized the strategic intention he locked before, and if he wants to force something else, he may be broken out of his teeth.
Li Po did not stay in Pusaka for long, this battle was of little significance to him, and it was suspected of hammering the bones.
Some energetic guys once again proposed to cross the river with victory, but they were all unceremoniously suppressed by Li Po, and then several guys were more or less cleaned up.
Immediately, Li Po ordered Li Nian to lead 2,000 horsemen to scout along the north bank of the Yellow River, once someone crosses the river, there is no need to hold the ferry, with Pusaka as a backing, whoever wants to come over will face the sweep of the Daizhou cavalry in the field.
