Chapter 871: Surrendered City
Not far from Jiuyuan City, on the bank of the Yellow River.
Siye discussed the military situation with Yin Kaishan, Duan Zhixuan, and Hou Junji.
"We are now here in Huyan Valley, and in the north is Niutou Chaona Mountain, which is also known as the Northern Qi River. Tanma reported that at present, a Tang army has just entered the bank of the Yellow River in the west and is building a city in Tuntian. Judging by the scale, it seems that there are about 12,000 people, and they should have come from Jiuyuan. ”
The scout scratched a few tongues and made a preliminary inquiry to learn the identity of the troops.
This is an army sent out by Li Shuliang after reorganizing the Yundingxing army, Yundingxing sent two armies to the east, one of which is the army stationed not far from the west, and the city they are building is said to be called the Zhongshou Surrender City, and you can know by listening to the name that there will definitely be an East surrender city.
The city that was surrendered to the east was actually another army of soldiers and horses that went east, but that army crossed the Yellow River at the foot of the Muna Mountain in the west and marched along the south bank of the Yellow River instead. The reason why he went to the south bank of the Yellow River was because the south bank belonged to the territory of Shengzhou, and now Guo Zihe, the assassin of Shengzhou, was originally a general of Liang Shidu, and he rebelled against Liang and joined the Tang Dynasty, so this army went to the south bank in order to be able to get Guo Zihe's grain and grass supplies.
They would travel eastward until the city of Shengzhou, leaving behind the envoys of the imperial court and the officials sent there, and then cross the river to the north bank, and then build a new city on the south bank of the river near the mouth of the river at the mouth of the river.
There are cities in the middle and cities in the east, and naturally there will be cities in the west.
The western surrender city is in Toyoshu, but not in Kuhara Castle, but in the south of the mountain pass in its northwest.
In the city of Jiuyuan, Fengzhou, there are only 2,000 men and horses of Li Shuliang.
The name of the surrendered city was not taken by Li Shuliang, nor was it taken by Yun Dingxing, but it was born in the Han Dynasty. At that time, the Han Dynasty deliberately built a surrendered city in order to accept the surrender of the Xiongnu Zuo Daduwei, which was also the only surrendered city in the Han Dynasty that was really built to accept the surrender of the enemy.
Although Li Tang set up three surrendered cities, it was not built to accept the surrender of the Turks, after all, Li Tang still pretended to be a grandson to the Turks.
These three cities were actually just a defense system for Li Tang in the Hetao area, after all, the Great Wall was in the more southern area, and there was no Great Wall to defend in the north.
Even though Li Yuan verbally promised to cede Fengsheng Erzhou to the Turks in the future, in fact, Li Yuan did not really intend to cede this land of Hetao, so while ceding land and borrowing troops from the Turks, Li Yuan sent troops to strengthen the defense of Hetao, and at the same time built additional cities here.
The three surrendered cities were guarded by three armies, and Li Yuan personally gave the three military titles as Tiande Army, Zhenwu Army and Hengsai Army.
Three cities and three armies, guarding the land of the Hetao, in order to be the northern Ping Domain of Guanlong.
The Tang Dynasty did not have the strength to build the Great Wall now, so it could only replace it.
"Is the information reliable? There are only 2,000 soldiers and horses in Jiuyuan City? Si Ye asked.
Hou Jun said, "King, although there are only 2,000 Li Shuliangya soldiers in Jiuyuan, the West Surrender City is not far from Jiuyuan, besides, if we go here, we must pass through the Zhongshou Surrender City, where there are still 10,000 or 2 horses." ”
Si Ye said disapprerovingly, "Chai Shao's 80,000 troops were all defeated by us, and 12,000 is nothing." ”
Duan Zhixuan also felt that he could fight, originally after they ambushed Chai Shao in Dali City, they could have made a detour to Niupiguan to reinforce Liu Hongji in Yunnei, but they didn't, but unexpectedly moved west.
The purpose is to stab the Jiuyuan here in Hetao, after all, after the defeat of Chai Shao's army, this place is already very empty.
"Now the Tang army doesn't know that we are coming, this is our advantage, surprise it, fight quickly, and then fight all the way to Jiuyuan City, completely drive out the Tang army's forces outside the Saiwai, and also cut off the connection between Jieli and Li Tang Guanzhong, and cut one of its wings first!"
Heiye is the kind of adventurous person who is also a bold person.
He only has 30,000 horses, but he dares to run for 800 miles.
"We also have an advantage, the city of Zhongshou has just been built and has not yet been completed, so this battle is both a surprise attack and a field battle, which is beneficial to us."
The Dingxiang army of Heiye was mainly cavalry, well-equipped, and all of them were veterans who were good at fighting. In contrast, the Li Shuliang department left by Chai Shao is already old and weak, and he has also mixed Yun Dingxing's troops, and now 12,000 people have come here to build a city, and he didn't expect the heir to appear here.
Therefore, before the war began, Heiye and the others were already full of confidence that this battle would be won.
Night.
After the feast, the heirs left a few thousand people to guard the horses by the Huyan River, and then led 25,000 horsemen, all of whom abandoned their burdens and took advantage of the night to touch the surrendered city of the Tang army.
In June, the night is as cool as water, and it is extremely comfortable.
The soldiers of the Tang Army and the German Army, who had worked hard to build the city all day, also went to bed early and fell asleep one after another.
Under the moonlight.
The Qin army quietly arrived and began to assemble in formation on the east and north sides of the Tang camp.
As soon as the lances were raised, the knights all instigated their horses and rushed towards the sleeping Tang Ying.
The sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the night and the dreams of the soldiers of the Tang Army.
Many people have been killed in their dreams before they even wake up.
Fires broke out everywhere, and war horses were pounding everywhere.
The knights of the Qin army, wielding their sabers, threw the lit torches into the camp of the Tang army.
Some of the knights also carried rope hooks and dragged down tents.
In the dark, Tang Jun didn't know what was going on at all.
The attack was too sudden.
After all, in the Tiande army, the soldiers want to come, there are 80,000 troops of General Chai Shao in the east, and there are 200,000 troops of Jieli, not to mention hundreds of thousands of horses such as Liu Wuzhou and Dou Jiande, how can there be enemy attacks?
On the one hand, Siye let the cavalry rush to kill, and on the other hand, people shouted that Chai Shao Dali was defeated and the whole army was wiped out, and even made people say that the Great Qin Emperor had broken through Yanmen and killed the rebel general Liu Wuzhou, and then broke Jieli in Mayi.
"Jieli has been defeated and fled to Mobei, my Great Qin Heavenly Army has arrived, and those who resist are dead!"
"Those who abandon their weapons and surrender will not die!"
The chaos also lasted for about an hour, and although the generals of Tang Tiande's army tried to gather their troops and horses several times, they were all scattered. In the end, the Mo Nan soldiers of Yuan Yun Dingxing were the first to abandon their weapons and surrender.
The Tang army fought alone, and when they saw that the general trend had gone, they finally surrendered one after another.
After dawn, Chai Shao, a prisoner of the army, met many old acquaintances and added many new friends.
"Jieli has really fled to Mobei?"
Li Deliang, the leader of the Tiande Army, is the younger brother of Li Shuliang and the king of Xinxing, and he was terrified when he saw Chai Shao.
Chai Shao shook his head very ashamedly, "That's the Qin army who lied to you, Jieli didn't return to Mobei after defeat, but the situation is very good, he has already defeated Dingxiang and killed Yunzhong, I am ashamed of Your Majesty, and Luo Siye's trick was defeated by the ambush in Dali City." ”
"Eighty thousand troops are gone?"
Chai Shao lowered his head, "It's all gone." ”
Li Deliang covered his face and couldn't help crying, Chai Shao's 80,000 army was gone, and now his 12,000 Tiande army was also lost overnight, and then, needless to say, Luo Siye must continue to attack his brother in Jiuyuan City to the west.
"It's over, the loop is gone."
Chai Shao was also silent, along the way, he was expecting Li Shuliang to be able to block Luo Siye. But who knows, in the first burst, Li Deliang's entire army will be wiped out.
"I hope that a brother can break through and report to King Changping first."
"I hope so." Li Deliang said in despair.
