Chapter 831: Alone in the Depths

The task of attacking Yunnan Eyelid was finally placed on the body of Zuo Longwu's army, and when the twelve Tiance guns were mounted outside Yunnan Eyelid City, the result of this siege battle was doomed.

Even the strongest city wall could not withstand the attack of the stone bullets weighing dozens or hundreds of catties of the Tiance Cannon.

Perhaps in order to show the might of the Tang Dynasty, Cui Anqian ordered to attack with Tiance artillery for half an hour, smashing the walls of Yunnan Eyelid to pieces before allowing the infantry to attack the city.

The defenders of Yunnan, except for a few who fled, most of them were killed or chose to surrender.

After taking the Yunnan eyelids, Cui Anqian's actions were fast, with Zuolongwujun as the middle army, directly taking the pintang, and then killing the gateway to Yangtho Baa City--- Taihe City; The right guard is to the north, attacking the Yichuan eyelid in a roundabout way, threatening Jianchuan City and attacking Longkou City in the south at the same time; The Annan army attacked the Baiya eyelid and Mengshezhui to the south, cutting off Zheng Maihei's retreat to Yongchang.

All this, the idea is very good, but when the battle began, Zhang Lian began to make trouble.

"The general manager, Zuo Longwujun came to report that Zhang Yuma had left the army."

"What? Broken away from the army? What does he want to do? Cui Anqian frowned slightly.

"Zhang Juma led three thousand soldiers of the Shenji Battalion to break away from the Zuolong Wu Army last night, bypassed the Pinyu eyelids, and went towards Zhao Chuan's eyelids."

"Zhao Chuan's eyelids? How did he get through? Cui Anqian immediately got up and asked.

"Someone told him that there is a mountain road north of Pintang's eyelids, which can go straight to the city of Zhaochuan's eyelids."

Cui An looked at the map and frowned slightly, "This colt is really not worrying, it's just nonsense." Zheng Maihei's people will definitely be able to find his traces, if this is an ambush on his inevitable path, can his 3,000 divine machine battalion stop it?

The order was sent to Link to immediately send two boxes of troops to reinforce Zhang Yuma's army, so that the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion would not be surrounded by the army of the Great Cho and the country. ”

Thinking of Zhang Lian's move, Cui Anqian couldn't guess that this horse master was eager to make meritorious contributions, so he wanted to rely on these 3,000 Shenji Battalion soldiers to make great contributions and compete with Liu Kui.

But these two colts are not at the same level, and I don't know what this Zhang Lian thinks.

At this time, persuasion will definitely not persuade the other party back, but Cui Anqian cannot ignore it, so he can only let Zuo Longwu find a way to reinforce it.

He only hoped that his worries would be unwarranted, so as not to end up adding to the trouble.

。。。。。。

More than 50 miles north of Pintang's eyelids, after a night's march, the 3,000 Shenji battalion soldiers led by Zhang Lian had arrived less than 20 miles away from Zhao Chuan's eyelids.

Standing on the hillside, you can see Zhaochuan City located on the shore of Erhai Lake.

The topography of the national capital of Dachanghe is a bit strange, and in general, it is not just one capital, but five capitals, namely Yichuan, Longkou, Dali, Yangtho Baa City and Taihe City, which is also in order from north to south.

The terrain near Erhai Lake is somewhat special, the east shore of Erhai Lake is mountainous and hilly, which is not suitable for building cities and farming, but there is a long and narrow plain area on the west bank of Erhai Lake, and the west of this narrow plain area is Cangshan Mountain.

The terrain of Cangshan is complex, which is not suitable for the passage of large armies, and has become a natural barrier.

And to the east of the plain is Erhai Lake, so if you want to conquer Yang Tho Baa City, you must either enter from Taihe City in the south and Yingchuan City from the north, which is why Cui Anqian has to divide his troops into three routes.

When the Tang army attacked Nanzhao more than a hundred years ago, tens of thousands of troops were defeated under Taihe City, causing Nanzhao to finally completely break away from the control of the Tang Dynasty and turn to Tibet.

But it is also undeniable that although Zhang Lian's move is reckless, it is also a good way to bypass Pincheng and attack Zhaochuan City from the east.

"Donkey, Zhaochuan City is at the bottom of the mountain, are we going to rest for one night and attack the city tomorrow, or will we attack today?"

Chang Wei stood in front of Zhang Lian and asked respectfully.

Chang Wei, as the son of Chang Xingru, was transferred to the Shenji Battalion shortly after the end of the Battle of Tang Liang.

Although his father often acted as a political envoy, after all, the potential for promotion was limited, and there was no one in the court.

Although Zhang Lian's concubine is not as good as Liu Kui, after all, he is the emperor's brother-in-law, so Chang Wei took refuge in the other party early, and naturally hoped to use this line to broaden his contacts for himself and his father in the court.

This time, Zhang Lian's behavior of insisting on going his own way and breaking away from the army has something to do with him, of course, it is more about Zhang Lian's meritorious service.

"Attack after lunch and rest for an hour. Zhao Chuancheng's main forces should be on the defensive south, and they definitely wouldn't have thought that we would attack from the east. Zhang Lian said proudly.

"Qiyu donkey, our scouts have found traces of the army of the Great Commander and the country, and there are still quite a few of them."

"In which direction?"

"Right in front of this mountain, resting, there are about one or two hundred people."

"One or two hundred? So what are you waiting for? Kill it directly! ”

Hearing that there were only one or two hundred enemy troops, Zhang Lian didn't even think about why there were one or two hundred enemies in this place, and directly wanted to destroy this enemy army.

Chang Wei is different, he graduated from martial arts, he has learned basic combat knowledge, and he can't fight a lot of battles, but he is a little curious why there are one or two hundred people in this place?

Could it be that the enemy knows that they are coming?

But if you knew, it wouldn't be just one or two hundred.

That's what he doesn't understand.

But before he could remind Zhang Lian, he saw that the other party had already gone down the mountain, and he could only catch up.

。。。。。。

Just when Zhang Lian led the army to prepare to eliminate the big Chang and the small army, there was a larger army resting in the valley behind the small army.

This army is naturally the army of the Great Cho and the country, and if you look closely, you will also find the existence of elephant soldiers.

When the Tang army attacked the Shibi region on a large scale, Zheng Maisi never thought of sitting still.

At this time, the Tang army was attacking Pintang City, and the city wall of Pintang City was strong, and the Tang army might not be able to conquer it for a while.

Therefore, some people suggested that a surprise army could be sent at this time to go around behind the Tang army and launch a sneak attack to defeat the Tang army.

The person who made this suggestion was called Zhao Shancheng, who was the Qingping official of the former Nanzhao, and is now the Qingping official of the Dachanghe Kingdom.

Zhao Shancheng's family has been a Qingping official of Nanzhao for generations, and his father Zhao Longmei is also a Qingping official.

At the beginning, Zhao Longmei was an envoy to the Tang Dynasty as an envoy of the Southern Zhao Dynasty to seek marriage, but he was poisoned in Chang'an with Yang Qikun and others, and he took over the position of his father Qingping official.

Because Datang killed his father, he and Datang had an enmity against each other, so he naturally tried every means to get revenge.

This time, he led 6,000 elite soldiers and 500 elephant soldiers to take advantage of the small road to return to the flank of the Tang army to attack, and strive to inflict heavy losses on the Tang army under Pintang City.

The one or two hundred people that Zhang Lian found were the vanguard small troops he sent.

While he was eating, someone came to report.

"Qi Zhao Xiang, Tang Jun is found ahead!"
