A few days later, Luo Zhaoyun made arrangements for all these noble children in the Guannei, Su Yu, Yu Renxiao, and the eldest grandson An Shi were directly appointed as county commanders to manage a city, and the assessment period was one year. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The rest, some of them joined the army, Gong Cao, etc., and the Sui army continued to advance.

After two months of rest, the Sui army under Luo Zhaoyun has expanded to 120,000 people, and there are 70,000 Han registered soldiers, and 50,000 are Tiele, Dangxiang, Xianbei and other Hu people who are combined to form a fierce Hu army.

There are 30,000 cavalry, strong soldiers and horses, and 5,000 Modao troops, all of which are long-handled Modao, and their lethality is amazing.

"General, when will you attack Xue Ju?" Some of the new nobles were eager for new battles so that they could make meritorious contributions.

"Xue Ju now occupies the four counties of Longyou, and the forces are approaching Fufeng and Jingzhao counties, so we should not force him too tightly for the time being, so the next goal is to defeat Li Liang, according to intelligence, the king of Xiliang has sent an envoy to contact Li Yuan, to form an alliance with Li Yuan, and the east and west echo, we must not let this group of people join together and cause us trouble, so the next move of our army is to sweep away Xiliang and completely open the Hexi corridor."

Wei Yijie clenched his fists and said: "The last general is willing to fight the vanguard, first go to conquer Li Rail, and clear the deer barrier for the good handsome." ”

This Wei Yijie is after the famous general Wei Xiaokuan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and he is also considered to be from a famous family, but his parents have declined, and when he comes here, he has nothing to shelter from, and he has never had the opportunity to be a general.

"This time, the troops were divided into two routes, Guo Xiaoke was the commander of the right road, leading 20,000 troops, 50,000 cavalry, Wei Yijie and Yu Chengdao were the vanguard generals, attacking Huining and cutting off the north-south route of Wuwei County; Ben Shuai personally sent troops to Changsong and Guzang, and Xue Wanqian was the vanguard, besieged the Xiliang headquarters, and pacified Xiliang in one fell swoop. ”

"Yes!" The generals stood up, bowed down and clenched their fists to receive the order.

"Du Ruhui is the governor of the Marshal Mansion, responsible for handling the government affairs of Jincheng and coordinating the excerpts sent by the counties."

Du Ruhui arched his hand and said: "The subordinates receive the order." ”

Luo Zhaoyun said to Zhu Suiliang, Yu Ningzhi, Su Yu and others: "When the Sui army goes to battle, you can experience some details of the march along the way, and see the actual battle on the battlefield, which will promote and help you in the future." ”

"Now we have taken a look at the sand table map again, remember the marching route, the terrain distribution, Xiliang's troops are mainly in several passes in the Qilian Mountains, so it is difficult to attack, however, the commander has sent a special combat team to attack overnight, which will be of great help to us to defeat the enemy."

Everyone watched intently, listened to the commander's method of using troops, and secretly admired.

In the past, Zhu Suiliang, Yu Ningzhi, Wei Yijie, Yu Chengdao and others only heard how invincible Luo Cheng was in Daxing City, and today they can stand around and listen to the other party scolding Fang Xuan and deploying troops on the battlefield, and they all feel a kind of excitement, this belongs to the star effect, close to idols, and naturally the mentality is difficult to settle.

Two days later, the Sui army in the northwest began to move frequently, blowing horns and battalions.

"Boom—"

The sound of horses' hooves shook, and the army in the camp was already ready to go.

After the sound of the drums of the three generals was heard, and the three armies were assembled, as far as the eye could see, the exercise ground was black and oppressive, and the policy was like a forest, and it was full of ironclad soldiers.

Nearly 100,000 elite soldiers, all of them with bright armor, solemn faces, strong bodies, well-equipped, swords, swords, halberds, and cold light shimmering.

"Let's go!" After Luo Zhaoyun ordered the flag, he stopped talking nonsense and directly ordered to set off.

The vanguard was in front, the Chinese army was behind, and the soldiers were divided into two roads, and the momentum was violent, pushing from Jincheng County to Wuwei County.

Nawuwei County is vast and sparsely populated, there are only four larger cities in total, there are not many counties and towns, and the population is added up, and it is only 150,000 people, and the Xiliang regime took 50,000 soldiers and horses over, and recruited 30,000 people from the local area, making up 80,000, known as 100,000 troops.

Luo Zhaoyun only led 60,000 horses and marched towards Guzang City, where the Xiliang regime was located, passing through three important passes of the Qilian Mountains and Yumai, where checkpoints were set up to block the advance of the Sui army.

Fortunately, thanks to the special forces that played a role, they sneaked into a level at night, cooperated with the vanguard army, and successfully won the first level.

But at the second level, the Xiliang army increased the strength of the defenders, so that the special forces with a small number of troops, it was difficult to launch an attack on the control of the city pass, after the special forces sneaked in from a cliff, they found that it was too difficult to attack the city gate, so they simply burned the grain and grass in the pass directly to hit the morale of the defenders.

Sure enough, when Xue Wancheng led his troops to attack the city, he fought fiercely for a day and successfully won the second city pass.

When they arrived at the third pass, they directly charged fiercely, carrying the prestige of the first two loud voices, shocking the morale of the Xiliang army, and after three days of siege, they took the third city pass at the cost of thousands of dead and wounded.

Subsequently, the army marched north, conquered Changsong City, and pointed at Guzang.

This time Li Liang was shocked, and in the temporary palace in the city, a meeting was held to deal with the strategy.

"Luo Cheng deceived people too much, he came to pursue me Xiliang so soon, didn't he plan to give me a chance to live?" Li Liang was a little angry.

Liang Shuo, the secretary of the ministry, said: "Far water can't save the near fire, Li Yuan, Liang Shidu, Turks, etc., can't count on it, and the only way to fight to the end is to fight to the death, because there is no way to retreat, except for a sneak attack, it is to live and die with the city." ”

"Surrender?" Li Rail pondered for a moment and shook his head, he betrayed the court and established himself as the king, this is a great crime of rebellion, according to the law of the emperor, the nine clans need to be killed, Li Rail decided to surrender himself is also beheaded, it is better to be vigorous, die on the battlefield, as long as they can resist the attack with the city wall, drag it until winter, and the Sui army retreats, they still have vitality.

Li Liang said loudly: "This king has decided to gather heavy troops and strictly guard Guzang City, and never retreat this time, because there is no way to retreat, Luo Cheng is so persecuted, and he deceives people too much, this time our side relies on the high and thick walls of the city to resist for two or three months, and when it enters the cold winter, the Sui army will naturally retreat." ”

The ministers were silent, each with their own thoughts, and some people, when it came to the crisis, naturally did not want to burn the jade and stones, and buried themselves with the Xiliang regime, and then made other calculations.
