Chapter 608: Nail
Raza held a glass of mare's milk wine in his hand, and he was stunned like a sculpture for a long time, and the guards and generals around him also held their breath one by one, for fear of accidentally making a little noise to alarm him.
Raza was not a kind person.
When he was in the Western Regions, he was synonymous with the God of Killing. He has always had only one way to disobey him and anger him, and that is to cut off his skull with a knife.
Of course, he is not a person who is just good at killing, killing for the sake of killing. He has excellent military strategy and battlefield command skills. Otherwise, Tocharian would not have kept him in the turbulent Western Regions for so many years. And this time, when he was faced with a major decision, he was transferred back from the Western Regions.
At the beginning of the war, Raza was satisfied, and everything was going according to his expectations. Zuo Wuwei's division of troops, and then turned back in a hurry, everything was in his calculations. Tens of thousands of Tang troops were divided into two pieces by him, and it was difficult for them to care for each other.
Originally, he thought that he would easily take this unit of the Tang Army, and then the army would swing eastward, flooding the entire Hedong region like a flood, and achieve the earliest strategic concept of the Great Theory.
But then, he was very disappointed.
This is not a strategic mistake, but a problem of the other side. Whether it was Tocharian or Raza, they all miscalculated the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army under Li Ze. When all their strategic and tactical concepts were planned based on the combat effectiveness of the Ansui Tang Army, it was inevitable that they would face the current predicament.
It's just a pity that he only understands this question now.
The combat effectiveness displayed by Zuo Wuwei on the opposite side amazed him. The two armies, separated in two cities hundreds of miles apart, could not care for each other, and their logistical supplies had been beaten to pieces by the Tibetan army, but they held on stubbornly, and after nearly a month of attack, nothing was gained.
If it was replaced by An Sui, I am afraid that it would have been defeated by them a long time ago.
There was already chaos in the river, Zhu Wen fulfilled their promise, and the Tang army Zuo Weiwei could not withdraw to come to the rescue. Although Delhi Chinan is now in a difficult situation, they have also completed the strategic plan of disrupting Hedong as promised, and all the external conditions are in place, but they have problems here.
Yinzhou City and Fuyuan City are like two nails, pierced in his path.
The form is becoming less and less optimistic.
The Tang Army's Zuo Wuwei on the opposite side made Raza a little frightened. It was not that he was afraid of war, but that he was afraid that the Tang Army in Zhenzhou had twelve guards and horses, and Zuo Wuwei was just one of them.
There are two Zhenzhou Tang armies that are now attacking, one is Zuo Wuwei, who nailed himself to Yinzhou, and the other is to beat Delhi Chinan in Shuozhou, and even lost the back road, so he had to give up everything and enter Hedong. If he can't break the dilemma here, then the fall of Delhi China is only a matter of time.
In Zhenzhou, Yizhou and other places, the Tang army still has left and right Qianniuwei, which is Li Ze's personal guard lineage, if they send troops to Hedong, then Delhi will be ruined in Chinan. Although there is still chaos in the river, judging from the current situation, I am afraid that I will not be able to set off a big wave. Once Zuo Weiwei in the river also brings troops, then they will be in big trouble.
After thinking about it, Raza couldn't think of any other way, except to increase the offensive and sweep away Han Qi's troops on the opposite side, the Tubo army would definitely face unprecedented difficulties next.
It's easy to come here, but it's hard to go back!
Thinking of this, he stood up, drank all the mare's milk wine in the cup, and said sharply: "Convene a meeting of all the generals." ”
Fuyuan.
Li Cunzhong stood at the head of the ruined city, his expression grim. Today is the third attack of the Tibetan soldiers, which is a very unusual phenomenon. In the past, the Tibetan soldiers carried out a strong attack at most once a day.
What happened to make them so desperate all of a sudden?
This is a good sign that the external situation has changed again. But this is not a good sign either, because it means that he has to endure greater difficulties.
The enemy retreated, and the soldiers who had just fought the front line immediately retreated, and the young and strong men and women and children in the city poured up, and the walls needed to be repaired, and the trenches that had been filled in under the city needed to be dug up again. Wounded soldiers need to be treated, and the bodies of dead soldiers need to be brought back to the ground for burial.
The entire Fuyuan City has been mobilized, and as long as they can breathe, they are all working hard to defend the city.
This is not a battle between the envoys. In such a battle, the winner will not do anything to the people. Now it is a fight to the death with the aliens, if you can't defend the city, no one is good.
The grain road has long been cut off, but every household in Fuyuan City has donated every grain even if they sweep the bottom of the tank brightly.
The soldiers who had just walked off the battlefield with blood stains and panting sat on the ground, and bowls of gruel were brought up and handed to them, in order to be able to hold on for a longer time, even the soldiers on the front line now only had gruel to drink.
This is the fifth day of the cut from the outside world. Li Cunzhong didn't know what had become of the outside now, but ten days ago, Han Qi sent someone to send a handwritten letter, asking him not to move closer to Yinzhou, but to defend Fuyuan, even if he fought to the last person, he was not allowed to take a step back.
Li Cunzhong carried out Han Qi's orders faithfully and undoubtedly, just as he had for many years. Thaksin Prime Minister Han Qi must have a reason to do so.
Although he also knows that the current Hedong is in chaos.
Perhaps, the withdrawal of troops is a better option. Several of his subordinate generals asked to withdraw to Hedong, but Li Cunzhong did not hesitate to deprive them of all military power and lock them up. These people are all children of the wealthy clan in the river, faintly, Li Cunzhong has probably figured out what Han Qi meant.
In the distance, the sound of war drums and the sound of horses' hooves were like thunder, Li Cunzhong, who had just drunk half a bowl of gruel, dropped the bowl and strode to the edge of the city wall.
"The people retreat, the soldiers are in place!" He yelled.
The soldiers, who had just taken a breath, shouted and poured into the city again. The people who retreated carried boxes and bundles of crossbow arrows from under the city, and brought up stones and logs one by one. The fire of the iron pot above the city was once again ignited, and the golden juice in the pot was boiled again.
In Fuyuan City, it is about to become an empty shell. In addition to the four sides of the city wall, many houses in the city have been demolished, even if it is a long tile stone of the frieze, it can hurt the enemy, and the girders, whether it is used to repair the city wall or to make wood, are excellent.
The stone slabs on the ground were pried open, and the stone thresholds of every house were lifted to the top of the city, and everyone in the city was busy trying to win the battle.
Only if you win the war can you live.
To put it bluntly, the war has been fought so far, and Li Cunzhong's feelings about Li Ze in his heart are very complicated. From the beginning, they were faintly hostile to Li Ze, and Zuo Wuwei was self-contained in the Tang Army in Zhenzhou, nominally belonging to the imperial court, but in fact it was on its own.
But Li Ze has never deducted Zuo Wuwei's armament because of this, and Li Ze has never been stingy with what should be given to them. The best armor weapons, the improved crossbow machine and the strong crossbow, the standardized easy-to-dismantle trebuchet, and the current equipment of the Zuo Wuwei are much better than the previous Hedong Army.
If it was the former Hedong Army, it would have been unable to hold it for a long time, and Li Cunzhong knew this very well. The best armor provided his soldiers with better protection and a chance of survival, and powerful long-range strikes effectively compensated for the lack of their strength. The strong crossbows and trebuchets with standardized parts make these big killers quickly be able to be pieced together to form a new one after being damaged.
If Li Ze can equip them with fierce fire and thunder, then he even has hope of winning this battle.
Of course, he could only think about it.
Because of the fierce fire and thunder, the production is limited so far, and only the left and right Qianniuwei are starting to equip it. Others, that is, some who perform special tasks, will have them.
Li Cunzhong has no complaints about this.
As a pure soldier, Li Cunzhong is grateful to Li Ze, and he made victory more within reach. But as a general, a person with local attributes in Hedong, he is disgusted with Li Ze.
He often suffers from such contradictory feelings.
"Trebuchet, shoot!"
"Crossbow, shoot!"
"Crossbowman, prepare!"
The shouts of the officers came from his ears, Li Cunzhong raised his broadsword and strode forward, at this time, the appearance of the main general on the front line will make the soldiers burst out with greater courage.
In Yinzhou City, Han Qi received a letter.
An internal guard risked great danger and infiltrated Yinzhou City, bringing a handwritten letter from Li Ze to Han Qi.
Han Qi finally completely figured out all of Li Ze's plans this time.
As the secretary of the Ministry of War, Han Qi has only now gotten Li Ze's overall plan, which makes him very angry in his heart, but he can't attack, because just like Li Ze's very shameful words at the beginning of the letter, all his anger was swallowed back into his stomach.
Li Ze congratulated Han Qi on finally becoming the secretary of the military department of the Tang Dynasty, not the marshal of Hedong.
concise and to the point, one sentence exhausts the grievances and grievances of the two people for many years and calculating each other.
Han Qi suddenly understood that if he didn't stick to Yinzhou, and at the same time ordered Li Cunzhong not to take half a step back, he would be unlucky. Maybe even Zuo Wuwei won't exist anymore.
It was because of this act of his own that he received this letter.
Because of his last-minute decision, Li Ze's military plan was finally fulfilled.
