Chapter 437: Breaking Through the Great Array

The Tang army's lightning tactics frightened the Liang army as well. Yelu Deguang and Zhu Wen learned that it only took ten days for the Tang army. The 200,000 army envoys reached the city of Zhenzhou. I couldn't help but be stunned. At this time, all the reinforcements were forced to arrive. Juwen can't wait for the reinforcements to be assembled. The men and horses who arrived first immediately galloped to the aid of Zhenzhou.

Zhenzhou is now the capital of the Liang Kingdom. Out of the town. There is also a Cangzhou in the territory of Liang. It is guarded by the general Kang Huaizhen. The Tang army was aggressive. Zhu Wen didn't dare to fight. Rely on the fortified city to defend and wait for help. There are nearly 10,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry of the Liang Imperial Forest Army, Shenwu Army, and Gonghe Army in Zhenzhou City, as well as tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of various ethnic groups such as Khitan and Xi. The city has enough grain and grass to last for several years. As long as the city is not breached. He was still confident that he would hold on until reinforcements arrived.

After Kang Huaizhen, the general guarding Cangzhou, learned the news that Zhenzhou City was surrounded. Immediately set up troops and rushed to Zhenzhou. A real battle began under the city of Zhenzhou......

Zhenzhou City. The war is in full swing.

The Don Army is collecting materials. It only took half a month. The craftsmen rushed out 800 stone pottery. Bitter rain, stone rain. Every day, it doesn't cost money to pour into the city of Zhenzhou. Climb the ladder. Beat the city gates, build earth mountains, dig tunnels. All kinds of tactics are used in every way. The defenders of the city are coming to block. Water comes to Tutun. It's also a trick to see the move. Resist with all your might.

The reinforcements from the other states of Liang had nothing to do in the face of the behemoth of the Tang army. The Tang Army's three-way Jiedu army was dominated by infantry. Instead, the cavalry was put to the rear and eaten in ashes. But Zhang Jun expected. It's a siege anyway. What do you want cavalry to do. So these months have been. Wei Zhaodu is leading the three-way army to train the formation. After cooperation. It's finally working. Once the huge battle array is up and running. It's just a huge horrible meat grinder. This large array is compared to the time when it was in Shou Chūn Castle. Xu Wen's arrangement of the formation is more complete and meticulous. Especially after more than a month of continuous improvement and supplementation. Perfectly integrated with the topography. Its hoplites were equipped with the best weapons in the world at the time. Receive the most scientific training. The most jīng wonderful formation is composed. Fight head-on and be invincible. No matter how many soldiers go in, they can't fill this bottomless pit.

The reinforcements of the Liang State watched the siege of the Song army in a big way. Besiege. But at a loss. The Don Army only fights positional battles with you. Don't take the initiative to disturb the war at all. How can you. These hundreds of thousands of troops are piled up under the city of Zhenzhou. Man eats horse feed. Spending money every day is like running water. It's almost devastating.

At this time. Tang Jun has already freed his hand. The city around Zhenzhou has begun to be cut. Kang Huaizhen originally came to reinforce Zhenzhou. But several wars were frustrated one after another. The loss of troops and generals was helpless, but Wei Zhaodu's proud battle array. Morale is extremely low. After suffering several defeats in a row. Some of the generals under Kang Huaizhen even led their troops to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

These generals were annexed by the Liang state. It's only been a few years. Not loyal enough to be willing. But shortly thereafter. Another man descended to Tang. Although he couldn't pull his army over. Only brought more than 200 cronies. But it caused an uproar in the camp of the Liang army.

The news is coming. The morale of the Liang army plummeted. This time there was an immediate domino effect. More than a dozen generals successively surrendered the city. The city of Zhenzhou officially became an isolated city. The situation is precarious.

Then. There are some bad voices in Zhenzhou City. They have written to Emperor Zhu Wen. Ask Kaesong to surrender. Avoid the loss of life.

"Nonsense! There are those who dare to abandon our land. Those who abandon the army to protect themselves. No mercy!"

Zhu Wen pressed his sword and rose. Between the thick eyebrows was a sinister aura. It was so shocked that no one dared to speak. Only this emperor was left with his loud words: "In the past, I was the beam. Dominate the world. There is no one who dares to stand in the way. Vertical to Duan Mingyu. Li Ye's talent is slightly. I can't help it. Now Zhenzhou City is in danger. The defenders faced 200,000 enemy troops. Guarding the moon She. Don't lose an inch of land. There is my Khitan tiger and wolf army to help relieve the siege. You're so cowardly and afraid of battle."

Look around the room. Zhu Wen said resolutely and resolutely: "You retreat. I won't retreat! If you want to die. I'm going to die a vigorous death. I died in the battle under the city of Zhenzhou!"

Seeing that the emperor dìdū has such bloody bravery. The Manchu Dynasty was ashamed of its civil and military affairs, and did not dare to be opposed. Zhu Wen's resolute words also aroused their fierce spirit. At the moment, all the civil and military forces are drumming up Yu Yong. Then urgently recruit troops and horses to the ministries. Continue to organize the army. Prepare to support the defenders of the city.

In fact, the battle of Zhenzhou. Wei Zhaodu is still playing very well. Especially lightning strikes. Naoki Zhenzhou. That momentum frightened the always arrogant and unruly Khitans. If it weren't for Zhu Wen's resolute refusal to give in. At this moment, the Khitans have long since given up Zhenzhou. The turtle retracted back to the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun.

But there is still no shortage of talented people in Liang Guozhong. The formation of the Tang Army is the most headache for them. Tens of thousands of reinforcements confronted the Tang army but were at a loss. I could only watch them launch an endless attack on Zhenzhou City. The reason is that they find it difficult to deal with Tang Jun's kind of after countless scrutiny. A formation that has been studied by simulating various enemy situations. So they were in a stalemate with the Tang army. has been working hard to study the formation of the Tang Army. Hopefully it can find its weaknesses.

This weakness was really found by them. They stormed the Tang army every day. The generals stand on a high place. Condescending overlooking the big picture. Carefully memorize Tang Jun's various contingency measures. Finally they found out. Although the soldiers and horses around Wei Zhaodu are also in the big array. But it didn't work once. Once the soldiers and horses charge into battle. And the formation of the great army began to work. Cover Wei Zhaodu tightly. But it takes time for the army to work. If you send a force of men and horses to pretend to attack Wei Zhaodu's department. Then the Tang army will inevitably change the formation as quickly as possible. It is used to cover the main general. At this time, another heavy force will be sent to attack another weak formation. The formation didn't have time to change back. So is it possible to break through the big array?

Thought of this. Kang Huaizhen devoted himself to the study of a carefully selected soldier and horse. In this way, the defenses of the Don army were broken through. Successfully entered the city of Zhenzhou. The other troops did not give orders. Don't dare to leave the camp without permission. lest the whole Great Fall collapse. And the troops that were broken through panicked. It's too late to respond. I didn't expect to report the military situation in a timely and accurate manner. Commanding an army of 200,000. Wei Zhaodu, who was separated by dozens of miles, did not enter the city until the Liang army entered the city for a long time. I actually found out the news.

This reinforcement entered the city. It is of little significance to replenish the garrison of Zhenzhou. However, this was the first reinforcement to successfully break through the Tang army's defense line and enter the city since the Tang army besieged the city. Desperate. The defenders of Zhenzhou, who were on the verge of collapse, thundered with joy.
