Chapter 369: Land and Water Go Together
Yang Xingmi also said that the Tang army did not move for such a period of time, because they did not want to continue the southern invasion, so the attitude of swearing to resist to the death was a little unfirm, and the fine work sent by Jiangnan to Chang'an was rushing back at night, but the Tang army's action was too fast, the southern expedition had made many preparations, detailed plans, and the battle order was issued at the beginning of the battle, in order to cooperate with the smooth implementation of the lightning tactics, all the checkpoints and passes were closed, they could only go over the mountains and mountains, copy the path, and rush back, and now they have not rushed to the Yangtze River, and the place where they were attacked was defeated too quickly, and the remnants of the defeated generals were frightened at this time, and they had just sent fast horses to show Yangzhou that they were still on the way
Liu Jian, the Privy Council's decree and the inspection along the river, jumped into the hall in a panic, fell to the ground in a panic, and shouted: "The king, the king, the Tang people have not declared a war, the mouth of the lake has been broken, Chizhou has fallen, and the north and southwest are already everywhere, and the king quickly summoned the civil and military forces to discuss countermeasures."
Yang Xingmi stood stunned for a long time, and the "Good Sewing Lake Pen" in his hand fell on the "Chengxintang Paper" that was as slippery as chūn ice and dense as a fine cocoon, smearing the paper that had just been laid
He asked stupidly: "Liu Aiqing, what are you talking about?"
The Tang army advanced by land and water from the north, east and west, and the final goal was Yangzhou, although the Tang State captured Huainan, and the Tang State still launched a war against Yang Xingmi, which was inevitable, but the commander of the army was changed, the current situation can create heroes, and heroes can also create the current situation, the two are interacting, Duan Mingyu replaced Tian Lingzi, what does it mean to come to lead the army, and how will the future situation change
Duan Mingyu was puzzled, and the closer he got to the quarry, the more horsemen there were, and the refugees were endless, and some refugees could only choose some small roads that the army would not choose
Yang Fugong's offensive was really fast, he broke through the mouth of the lake, broke through the mouth of the gorge, the army of the Zhai Shui Division, and went straight to Tongling, the Tongling defender Li Shenfu got the news, and was not afraid of Duan Mingyu's Jinghu naval army's combat effectiveness was far from being compared with Yangzhou Jīng Rui, if it weren't for the Hukou defender's confusion, his army would not have thought of passing safely through Li Shenfu's hands, although there were only 30,000 horses in his hands, but he was confident and relied on the geographical advantage, enough to block the eastward road of the 100,000 naval army
He gathered 30,000 horses and horses on more than 100 large warships, blocked the entire river, the ship wall was like a forest, and the front and back layers were straight like copper walls and iron walls, and the army arrived at Yang Fugong, seeing that Li Shenfu had already been prepared, and knew that he was invincible, so he ordered the general Song Wentong to go ashore first, and took advantage of Li Shenfu and Chen Bing to capture Tongling City on the river, and set fire to the city
The defenders of Tongling are mostly locals, as soon as they saw the fire in the city, they were concerned about their parents, wives and children, and they asked Li Shenfu to go ashore to save the city, at this time the situation has been set up, Yang Fugong's army is raging, how can Li Shenfu agree to those Yangzhou soldiers, seeing that the commander is not allowed, simply disobey the military order and drive the boat ashore directly, as the saying goes, the military order is like a mountain, but now this military order is not as good as the flesh and blood family affection, Li Shenfu ordered the personal soldiers to kill the many soldiers who took the lead, and they could not stop it
For a time, the Tang Army Naval Division had not yet engaged in the battle, and the Yangzhou Naval Division was in great chaos, the ships were horizontal and vertical, and they were intertwined with each other, and there was a water traffic jam, which was a battlefield wonder, Song Wentong was strictly ordered by Yang Fugong not to kill civilians without permission, and the fire was just a firewood piled up in the city market, and the fire was piled up together, and he went out of the city to ambush and waited to see the Yangzhou soldiers ashore, only to find that he was too cautious, and the Yangzhou army went straight to the city with a crying father and mother, neither in formation nor subordinate, and simply became a group of rabble
Song Wentong immediately sounded the drum to attack, waved the army to cover the Yangzhou army that resisted the order to go ashore, was killed like splitting melons and cutting vegetables, not to mention the Yangzhou army on the water, not to mention Yang Fugong's army, approached in a big way, and directly boarded the ship to fight, the melee between the two sides was in full swing, Song Wentong killed all the Yangzhou soldiers who resisted the order to go ashore, and they had taken their boats, and they were also forced to Yangzhou sailors
Li Shenfu saw that the general trend had gone, and the battle was so defeated that he was covered by a few personal soldiers, and fled to the battleships arranged in the rear, and fled to the top of the sky, and rushed to Dangtu to report the news
When the news spread, the Yangzhou army along the river was panicked, and could only set up obstacles and cast rockets to hinder the speed of the Tang army's sailors along the way, Yang Fugong did not stay for a moment, only ran to Wuhu, prepared to take Wuhu, and then turned to attack Dangtu, and at this time, the battle of quarrying alum had begun
Duan Mingyu rushed south, all the way non-stop, rì night and night, when Yang Fugong's sailors had not yet arrived, according to Tang Xizong's orders, his horse infantry army wanted to use Yang Fugong's help to cross the river to fight, but Tian Lingzi couldn't wait, heard that Yang Fugong had not yet arrived, Tian Lingzi was overjoyed, and immediately ordered to collect fishing boats along the river and forcibly cross the river
He has only one purpose: to steal credit
Duan Mingyu's military exploits are the first in the current military general sequence of the Tang Kingdom, if Tian Lingzi can rush ahead of Duan Mingyu and Yang Fugong, he does not need the help of Yang Fugong's sailors to break through the Yangzhou fortress and quarry alum, then he can become the first general of the Tang State who is the best at fighting, although in addition to Duan Mingyu, there is also a Yang Fugong who is also famous for his good attack, but in terms of official position and prestige, Yang Fugong is slightly inferior to Duan Mingyu, and it cannot be compared with him
He has governed the world for ten years, and his kung fu is already well known, and his martial arts will also be famous all over the world by that time
However, the natural danger is not so easy to attack, with some large and small fishing boats collected, it is easy to break through the fortress, how easy is it to quarry alum, the Yangzhou army is guarded by Ma Bujun, and Zhang Ke has 20,000 quarrying soldiers in his hands, and the first battle of the Shence army lost its armor and blood-stained the river, and the first battle was defeated
Tian Lingzi knew that with the strength of the Tang State, sooner or later he would be able to defeat Yang Xingmi, who called himself King of Wu, this was yesterday's thing, Yang Xingmi saw that the Tang Army was determined to destroy himself, and even publicly claimed to be the King of Wu to build the country, and the soldiers and horses under the command of the Wu State used the banner of the Wu Army
Tian Lingzi's army only needs to feint to attract the quarrying alum defenders, so that they have no division of troops, only need to cover Yang Fugong's water division, and there is a lot to be done in this battle, but what he wants is a blockbuster effect, if it is fought for half a year or a year, then what is the head
It was Tian Lingzi who issued a death order, recruited those who dared to die, and kept storming the fortress all night, and gave the order to slaughter the city, which was used to motivate the three armies, Tian Lingzi promised that as long as the quarrying alum was captured, the soldiers could be plundered, and when Tucheng City, the wealth and women would all belong to him
