Chapter 498 Siege
September 9, Chung Yeung Festival.
Outside the city of Yunzhou, the grass and trees have seen the withered yellow.
The Tang army of 120,000 soldiers and horses marched towards Yunzhou City.
120,000 soldiers and horses, pulling a long procession, rode from the back to the front, it took almost two sticks of incense.
Li Yu sat in the carriage in the open air, and Xu Maogong and others waited on both sides.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the day after tomorrow we will be able to feel Yunzhou City, I heard that Wei Pi sent Xiahou Chun to guard Yunzhou City, do you have any opinions on this?"
The cold wind whistled by, and Xu Mao said fairly: "Shengshang, this Yunzhou City is a big border city of Wei, relatively speaking, it is a little easy to defend and difficult to attack, and this Xiahou Chun is a famous general in Wei, and his vigor is only inferior to Lu Bu, the first fierce general of Wei, so it is still very difficult to deal with." ”
Speaking of this, Xu Mao said fairly: "So the minister thinks that even if our Tang State soldiers are strong and strong, and there are more of them than those of Wei State, it is better to outwit Yunzhou City if we want to capture Yunzhou City." ”
Princess Xu Mao outwitted her, and Cheng Yanjin next to her immediately pouted.
"Then Xiahou Chun is only 40,000 soldiers and horses, and my Tang army is 120,000, and if we directly besiege the city, we can break Yunzhou City, why do we need to outwit it?"
Now the soldiers and horses of the Tang Kingdom are indeed not weak, and they start fighting directly, which is the best in Cheng Yanjin's opinion.
As for Cheng Yanjin's point of view, Xu Maogong only showed a shallow smile and did not respond much.
He just set his sights on Li Yu, how to fight this battle still depends on Li Yu's arrangement.
Li Yu thought for a while and said, "If you can outwit, it's best to outwit, if you can't, you can only besiege the city, outwit, what good ideas do you have?" ”
At this time, Li Jing said: "Holy Lord, this Xiahou Chun is a stubborn person, although he is brave, but he also has a lot of shortcomings, if we can trick them out of the city to fight with our Tang army, we naturally have a chance of winning." ”
Li Jing said this, but everyone rolled their eyes, if they could lure the soldiers and horses of the Wei State out of the city to fight, why did they have to bother so much?
The key problem is that it is not easy to lure the soldiers and horses of the Wei State out of the city.
"Holy Lord, we might as well ............ like this"
Xu Maogong suddenly muttered again, and after he finished speaking, everyone looked at each other, and then they all nodded with satisfaction.
"Xu Aiqing's method, you can try it, in this way, let's arrange it according to what you said."
After saying this, everyone in the Tang Kingdom continued to march in the direction of Yunzhou City, and the day after tomorrow, they came to the outside of Yunzhou City.
When he came to Yunzhou, it was the afternoon of this day, and the Tang army did not hesitate, so he divided the soldiers and horses into four parts and directly surrounded the entire Yunzhou City.
Li Yu stood under the city with soldiers and horses, and Xiahoudun with soldiers and horses looked at Tang Yu opposite.
Xiahou Chun was a big man with a beard, and his eyes were big, like copper bells.
He glanced at Li Yu under the city and shouted, "You Tang State is so rude, you dare to attack my Wei State?" ”
Li Yu smiled: "You Wei killed me as a general of the Tang State, why can't I attack your Wei State, Xiahou Chun, I think you are also a fierce general, if you are willing to surrender obediently, I can spare your life, if not, after I capture Yunzhou City, I will definitely want your head." ”
Li Yu's words were endlessly domineering, but here in Xiahou Chun, they were useless.
This Xiahou Chun is naturally bold, and it is basically impossible to scare him.
"Haha, if you want my head, what's the matter, if you can ask for it, then come and get it, I'm still afraid that you won't be able to do it?"
The two of them shouted outside the city, and when Li Yu saw this, his brows condensed slightly, and then he waved his hand: "Siege the city." ”
According to the current strength of the Tang army, it is not impossible to capture Yunzhou City, but if it is really attacked, the casualties of the Tang army will be many.
And in addition to Yunzhou, they also have Tanzhou, and there is Xudu behind, so the Tang army must reduce the damage as much as possible, so although it is a siege, the Tang army did not use all its strength.
In this way, when it was late in the evening, the Tang army did not have the slightest sign of capturing Yunzhou City.
Xiahou Chun was on the city tower, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that so many people from the Tang army were attacking the city, but there was no significant effect.
"Tang Jun, that's just it."
He didn't think the Tang Army was so powerful.
I can't help but feel a little contemptuous in my heart.
And at this time, the Tang army had already begun to withdraw its troops.
Since it can't be attacked, it has to retreat temporarily.
Watching the Tang army retreat, Xiahou Chun showed a chuckle.
When the night came, the cold wind was blowing, and the soldiers of Yunzhou City had already begun to rest.
On the Tang Army's side, Li Yu called a group of generals to the big tent and made some arrangements.
After this arrangement, let them disperse.
Early the next morning, the Tang army did not continue to attack the city, but Cheng Yanjin led 40,000 soldiers and horses to confront Xiahoudun's Wei soldiers and horses, and Tang Li took the remaining 80,000 soldiers and horses and went straight to Tanzhou City.
This situation of the Tang army soon spread to the city.
"General, Li Yu went to Tanzhou with 80,000 soldiers and horses, and only 40,000 soldiers and horses were left here."
Hearing that Li Yu was approaching Tanzhou with 80,000 soldiers and horses, Xiahoudun's eyes suddenly condensed.
"What does Tang Jun mean by this?"
Xiahou Chun's expression was slightly condensed, and he didn't understand what the Tang army meant, it stands to reason that if he fights, he will attack city by city, and if the road is blocked by the enemy, they will be alone, and once there is a shortage of food and grass, there will be no hope at all.
Although the Tang army left 40,000 soldiers and horses to confront him and the Wei State, 40,000 soldiers and horses may not be able to ensure that the back road is unblocked.
Moreover, on the side of Tanzhou, it is Sima Yi who is guarding the town, although Sima Yi is not as brave as himself, but his use of troops and the fierce generals under him are not bad at all.
Li Yu went directly to Sima Yi, and it was even more impossible to capture Tanzhou City.
For this behavior of the Tang army, Xiahou Chun was very incomprehensible, he walked back and forth in the big tent, and after walking like this for a while, his expression had condensed, and said: "Tomorrow, follow me out of the city and fight with the Tang army." ”
Hearing this, everyone was a little surprised.
"General, we just need to hold Yunzhou City, go out of the city to fight, what if there is an accident?"
"Yes, General, we can't take risks, it's better to hold Yunzhou City."
"That's right, that's right......"
Everyone didn't want to take the risk, and they were not sure of winning a battle with the Tang army, but Xiahou Chun insisted on doing so. "This is a good opportunity for us to destroy the living forces of the Tang State, and we should not miss it."
