Chapter 376: The Battle of Yangzhou
The so-called autumn is the master of the king. The difference with other armies is only that there are more and fewer evils. The autumn that was boasted at that time was not guilty. It also sometimes refers to the people under his rule. One can imagine how they have fallen to the people of the enemy's territory. Duan Mingyu walked silently on the streets. He sighed: "One day, I am the commander of the army, and my subordinates are all henchmen, and when I invade others, it will also cause many people to be displaced."
But... The Commander's Will. Wartime devastation and post-war reconstruction. There is always a significant impact. The so-called do not break, do not stand. The war machine is in my hands. It's better to kill a lot less than in the hands of Tian Lingzi. Since we can't refuse this historical mission. I tried to accept it.
; This trip to the Battle of Jiangnan. It was a rare training before I commanded the troops. Maybe not long after. I'm going to be on my own. Carving bows, riding horses... Burning wolf smoke on the land of China. Or. I would be a loser. Or. will become the minister of ZTE. A meritorious deed. Posterity commented. History. How will my name be written?"
"After this battle. I'm going down in history." Tian Ling Zilema holds the reins. Looking triumphantly across the river. If I have to say that there is something not satisfied. That is this battle, he and Duan Mingyu have mixed credits. It's a pity not to be able to monopolize the full credit.
The situation of the battle is undoubtedly developing in favor of the Don Army. Follow-up troops successively crossed the Yangtze River. Capture the cottage. Duan Mingyu and Yang Fugong personally led the main force to Yangzhou. Yang Fugong, who had been following him unhurriedly, arrived at the right time. Confluence with the two.
Yang Xingmi hurriedly mobilized more than 70,000 water and land troops to defend in front of the Qinhuai River and Yangzhou City. Yes... Defend. He can only drag. At this time, I really don't have the capital to fight.
Tian Lingzi is in high spirits. Facing an opponent who has carved himself out of an area and refuses to take a step beyond the thunder pool. This battle was fought with great pleasure. Tian Lingzi rode his horse and stood on the riverside... There are many armor soldiers beside him. Behind him is an army that is black and pressing, and there is no edge in sight. Across. The Wu army is on the lookout... Phalanxes are being moved behind the front army. It's like a flowing undercurrent. Hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides. But it's silent...
Only the sound of footsteps shaking the earth. It makes their heartstrings flutter like a drum... The oppressive atmosphere flowed between the Tang Army, the Horse Army, the Infantry Army, and the Sailors. On both sides of the river, the hearts of the army flowed.
Duan Mingyu was riding on a horse... Silently watching this solemn confrontation situation. Once. He had seen an army of hundreds of thousands face off against each other like a mountain. That time. Both sides are also in tension. The commander of the three armies is an emperor and a king. Emperor Huang Chao of Qi State. Jin Wang Li Keyong. Now by his side is Tian Lingzi. And the king of Wu on the other side. Still hiding in the palace compound in Yangzhou City, he did not show up. However, this time the tension was especially better than Wang Mandu's. Because this is a crucial battle between the defense and the destruction of the country.
After the siege of the city three rì. The Seventh Prince left Beijing by holy decree and came to Duan Mingyu's camp. A cadre of civil and military kneeling to listen to the holy decree.
The Seventh Prince unfolded the holy decree and said: "Imada Xiangye and Duan Guogong. Yang Zuo makes concerted efforts. Soldiers are under the city of Yangzhou. It's a blessing for the country. Ran Tian is relatively hard working in my Tang Dynasty. Previous command error. After that, Tian Xiang served as the commander-in-chief, Duan Guogong still served as the deputy recruiter, commanding the right army, and I hope that the ministers will not complain, and they will share their worries for the country.
Faint Jun. Ridiculous. Monkey business. The generals immediately greeted the whole daughter of Tang Xizong secretly. Twice handsome. The order is changed. It has never happened in China for thousands of years.
Since Tian Lingzi is the coach. This is destined that Duan Mingyu's future battle of the Southern Expedition can only be a spectator. This time it's the spectators. And what about next time.
"Lord Wang. Changing generals is a taboo for soldiers. Why did Your Majesty think of changing Tian Lingzi as the commander?" It's late at night. Duan Mingyu holds a wine bottle. Neither humble nor arrogant asked. Alcohol is not allowed in the military. But who cares about him and the Seven Princes? Decree. It has always been made for the weak.
The Seventh Prince, Li Jie, shook his head and said, "In the end. It's still Tian Lingzi's holy favor. Near rì Tian Lingzi and a close minister of the party entered the slander in front of the imperial brother. The royal brother's anger towards Tian Lingzi has also disappeared. I also feel that Tian Lingzi is old. It's hard to command a few more battles in the future. That's why I replaced Brother Duan Xian."
"The prince's words are wrong. You and I are like brothers. I'm sure you're strongly opposed to that. What I would like to ask under is. What made the prince agree to this. He came to me to explain." Duan Mingyu said in one sentence the meaning of the Seventh Prince. All you need is a eunuch. The Seventh Prince came in person, I'm afraid he was worried that Duan Mingyu would be unwilling.
The Seventh Prince couldn't help but blush: "This matter. At first, the king was naturally strongly opposed. How could this credit fall into the hands of Brother Duan Xian. Why did he sit on the benefits of the fisherman? But the imperial brother promised that once Jianghuai was pacified. The vacancies here are all arranged by our royal faction. Hey. It's not a loss."
Duan Mingyu's brows suddenly stretched. In this way. The strength of the Seven Princes will inevitably increase greatly. One trades off the other. And why bother to try to destroy the country's achievements in this false name?
Tian Lingzi stared at the Wu army who was waiting on the other side. The blood is boiling in my heart. Destroy a country and capture a king. Immortal merit is at your fingertips. Be a prime minister for a hundred years. It's too late to be a handsome. After today's rì. He will go down in history forever.
Yang Fugong and his general Song Wentong are one left and one right. Mobilize the water division. It's like a pair of vises. Firmly clamp Wu Jun. Wait for them to shake the Wu army's position. Tian Lingzi can launch a general attack. Destroyed the nearly 100,000 troops in one fell swoop. But. Tian Lingzi doesn't like this style of play. He is the commander in chief of the three armed forces, and he should be the first to be robbed of his glory by others.
He slowly raised his horsewhip. The three armies watched with bated breath as the coach moved. Whip your horse. shouted: "The whole army. Offense." Tian Lingzi suddenly rushed forward. The horses leaped into the river. But it is impossible for his pro-army to put him in danger. This only prompted the three armies to rush further ahead of him.
The left and right tiger Ben was stunned at first. Then they rushed forward. Screaming and throwing himself into the river. Wading in this cold winter attack. The sailors who are being mobilized upstream and downstream are the first to launch when they see the coach. I can't take care of the most advantageous offensive formation. Jump into battle now. Tian Lingzi took the lead. Shocked the three armies of the state of Wu. They panicked. Hurriedly launch a counterattack.
Battle of Yangzhou. It's fired.
This battle. will determine the final destination of Jiangnan. It is surnamed Yang. Still surnamed Li.
