Chapter 704: Nanchao stabs in the back
Wu Ti was stunned for a moment, then patted his head and said, "How did I forget Dong Yile?" It's just ยทยทยทยทยทยท There is no oil and water in Dong'er, and although they only have a few thousand standing troops, if they really want to fight, every man can ride a horse into battle, and at least they can gather forty or fifty thousand people, this battle is not easy to fight! โ
Princess Tuzhen said: "I will tell you how to fight, you divide the troops to attack, scatter the various armies, and assign them the task of attacking a certain tribe of Dong'e, and only this tribe is allowed to fight, and after the fight, he will quickly withdraw with slaves and booty, and he must be quick when he attacks, and he must be quick when he retreats, so that the king of Dong'e will not have time to gather troops to fight back, and when they get the news and react, we have already withdrawn, and at that time he wants to organize troops to pursue, but he will also be unable to fight because of the great loss of strength, so he can only give up!" โ
Wu Ti was overjoyed after hearing this: "Sister, this plan is clever, okay, for my brother, I will convene the generals of all departments to discuss this matter!" โ
The generals and leaders of the various departments were also reluctant to retreat to the Mobei grassland without getting anything, and this time the soldiers and horses who fought Wuchuan and restrained Gao Xu died so many people, if they didn't bring some loot back, how could they explain to the clansmen?
After the generals and leaders of the various departments came to Wu Ti's dome, they listened to his plan, and one by one expressed their support, shouting that they would fight the Dongle people.
Wu Ti immediately began to assign tasks to the generals and leaders of various ministries, stipulating that someone could only lead the soldiers and horses to attack a certain tribe in Dong'er, attack and withdraw quickly, and leave after the battle.
On the same day, under the order of Wu Ti, the leaders of the various generals of Rouran led their own people to attack the tribes of Dong'er.
They marched for two days into the territory of the Eastern Leg, and when the people of the East were unsuspected, they slaughtered their pastures, slaughtered tribes, killed all men who were taller than wheels, and took women and children as captives, cattle, sheep, horses, and their food, leaving only empty camps strewn with dead bodies.
In just two days, more than 20 tribes of the East Ele were looted, and the looted territory exceeded more than half of the East Ele, until this time, the king of the East Le received the news, and quickly ordered all the men of the tribe to prepare horses and weapons to rush to the king's tent to meet the enemy, but the Rouran people did not intend to fight with the East Ele people, and they left after snatching it up, and walked very fast.
The king of Dongle took more than 10,000 horses to chase to Yixin Mountain and did not catch up, only to see the footprints of the Rouran people retreating into the desert, and saw that his strength was insufficient, and the dry food, dried meat and water he carried were also insufficient, so he could not go deep into the desert to pursue, so he could only lead the army to retreat.
At this time, Gao Xu entered the territory of Dongle after five days of marching, and the reconnaissance cavalry in front came to report: "General, the tribe in front of you has been looted, and many people have died, looking at the decay of the corpses, it should have been five or six days!" โ
Gao Xu's face changed: "Go and see, go!" โ
After a while, Gao Xu rushed to the tribe with some people, and the corpses all over the ground were already very corrupt, there were flies everywhere, and many corpses were patronized by vultures and wild beasts, and were pecked into bone racks.
At this moment, Gao Xu thought of the Rouran army that retreated into the desert, and he said angrily: "This must have been done by the Rouran people, and it is impossible for the Dongle people to fight!" โ
A subordinate general next to him said: "General, if the Rouran people did it, it is impossible for this one tribe to be wiped out!" โ
Gao Xu got up and ordered: "Send someone to bury these corpses!" โ
In the next two days, every tribe that Gao Xu's army passed through was bloodied, and this afternoon he encountered more than 10,000 soldiers and horses led by the king of Dongyile who had withdrawn from Yixin Mountain.
At night, in the dome of the king of Eile, the king of Eile said to Gao Xu murderously: "General Gao, this time I have slaughtered more than 20 tribes and tribes in Dongele, more than 70,000 people have been slaughtered, and countless cattle, sheep and horses have been stolen. โ
Gao Xu hurriedly reassured: "Khan, don't be impatient, I have reported this matter to the king, and I believe that there will be a reply and instructions from the king soon!" All the Khan has to do now is to appease the people of the various tribes of the El and let them recover from their grief as soon as possible! โ
At this time, Zhao Junsheng had led the army to break through Huaishuo Town, and Lai Daqian retreated to Woye Town with his generals, Zhao Junsheng left 3,000 people in Huaishuo Town to garrison, and continued to chase the army to Woye Town.
Lai Daqian originally planned to abandon Woye Town and lead the army to retreat to Guanzhong, but was blocked by Zhao Junsheng's light cavalry, and Lai Daqian had to withdraw to Woye Town to defend and send people to the Chang'an court for help.
Don't accept whether the messenger can reach Chang'an, even if he can reach Chang'an, the Chang'an Imperial Court is now too busy to take care of itself, and I don't know if it can be sent for the reason.
On the third day of Zhao Junsheng's siege of Woye Town, a messenger sent by Gao Xu arrived.
When Zhao Junsheng received Gao Xu's report, his face changed on the spot, and he handed Gao Xu is letter to Dongfang Chen.
After Dongfang Chen saw it, he pondered for a moment and said to Zhao Junsheng: "Great King, the minister thinks that he can ignore the Rouran people for the time being, since they have retreated, they have taken a large number of cattle, sheep, materials and slaves, and they should not go south again in the short term, we can take this opportunity to solve the threat of the Northern Wei court and the princes of all walks of life!" โ
"I didn't expect that the Rouran people still hit the head of the Dongyule people, and Gu also sent Gao Xu to lead the troops back quickly, but it was still too late!" Zhao Junsheng frowned, and he said to Dongfang Chen and the other ministers: "Gu also wants to solve the threat of the Northern Wei court and various princes first, and then go to settle accounts with the Rouran people, but the Eastern Ele people have suffered heavy losses, if they don't give them justice, it is possible to let them separate from our Qianguo, this is what Gu is most worried about!" โ
Shen Hui stood up and said: "The king, the minister thinks that this matter is easy to solve, just send a messenger with a large amount of grain and grass to pacify, and promise to wait until the threat of the Northern Wei court and the princes of all walks of life is solved before sending troops to Rouran!" โ
After hearing this, Zhao Junsheng said: "That's it!" Shen Hui, Lone ordered you to send an envoy to Dongyi for the envoy to support the materials of Dongyi, Lone Hui ordered that the Qianjing City be prepared properly, and then directly transport it to Fangyi Town, you go to Yuyi Town to receive it and escort Dongyile! โ
Shen Hui arched his hand: "The minister obeys the order!" โ
The next day, Zhao Junsheng ordered the siege of the city.
A large number of siege equipment was assembled, and the defenders on the Fertile City were apprehensive when they saw so many siege equipment, and many of them fled here from Huaishuo City with Daqian, so they naturally saw the power of the siege equipment of the Qianjun army.
With the height and sturdiness of the city, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist the attack of the siege weapons of the dry army, or the city will be breached in a few days.
Zhao Junsheng didn't want to waste any more time, and he didn't send people to persuade him to surrender, so he directly ordered the siege of the city.
From the very beginning, the battle was extremely fierce, and the cadres attacked on three walls, and the defenders had to use all their forces to barely defend.
On the afternoon of the first day of the battle, Laiti, the son of Daqian, died on the city wall, he was shot by a crossbow arrow, and the spear-like crossbow arrow pierced his chest, and the huge force of the impact flew out of the city wall with his body and fell under the base of the city wall.
Lai Daqian, who lost his son, was extremely sad, but he quickly collected his mood and personally went up to the city tower to command the battle, and the tragedy of this battle made the cadres and soldiers extremely frightened.
Zhao Junsheng looked at the fierce battle scene on the city wall and couldn't help but say: "It seems that there is still a set of Daqian training soldiers here!" โ
On the fourth day of the siege, more than half of the people in the hands of Daqian had been killed and wounded, and the remaining soldiers were no longer enough to hold the four city walls.
Lai Daqian and more than a dozen soldiers were surrounded by hundreds of cadres and soldiers in the city tower and fought for a whole hour, and the dozen or so personal soldiers who protected Lai Daqian were all killed in battle, and Lai Daqian finally died in battle.
As soon as Lai Daqian died, the other three defenders surrendered one after another, and in this battle, more than 2,400 cadres and infantry were killed!
After solving Huaishuo Town and Woye Town, Zhao Junsheng did not dare to delay, and the army continued to move south after resting in Woye Town for three days, crossing the river and marching towards Bogulu Town.
On the third day of crossing the Yellow River, when the army was on the march, Lu Xuanbo received 100,000 urgent news.
"King, the Southern Dynasty suddenly sent troops to our country, and the troops attacked in the east, middle and west, and Xuchang, Pengcheng, and Suiyang have all been breached! This time, it was the emperor of the Southern Dynasty who drove the expedition in person! โ
Zhao Junsheng was taken aback, "Didn't the Southern Dynasty veto the alliance with Wei?" How could troops be sent suddenly? โ
"The minister suspects that this is the smoke deliberately released by the Southern Dynasty, in order to confuse our Dynasty and let me rest assured that I will send troops to attack the Northern Wei Dynasty and Rouran, and the timing of their choice at this time is very good!"
"Order the army to stop advancing, and let the generals and ministers of the army come to discuss the matter!"
A simple camp tent was erected, and the generals and officials of the various armies arrived one after another.
Zhao Junsheng waved his hand to Lu Xuanbo, and Lu Xuanbo stood up and reported the situation to the ministers.
The generals and officials all showed solemn faces, and it was not once or twice that the Southern Dynasty sent troops to attack the Northern Dynasty, but this time it was different, this time the troops were divided into three routes, and it was also the emperor of the Southern Dynasty who drove the expedition in person, and the advantage of the imperial drive was that the orders were unified, and the generals did not dare to disobey the military orders.
Someone immediately stood up and said: "The king, this matter is very important, and the minister thinks that the king should quickly wave his army to help!" โ
Someone stood up and said: "The king, the minister thinks it's inappropriate, at this time, the army will return to help will give up the previous efforts, and it may not be too late, but I am afraid that when the army returns to Hebei, the land of Henan has been captured by the Southern Dynasty, and the minister thinks that my army should attack Chang'an in one go and destroy the Wei State!" As for the Southern Dynasties, once the situation in Guanzhong is stabilized, it will not be too late to settle accounts with them! โ
Immediately, another person expressed a different opinion: "Xue Andu is responsible for the defense of the Yuluo region, and now his main task is to resist the attack of Buliu Guli, but the Western Route Army of the Southern Dynasty is attacking the Yuluo area, he is the enemy on his belly and back, he must be careless, once Xue Andu's side is affected and Tongguan is forced, then the overall defense line of our dynasty will have a big problem, and the minister thinks that it is better to repel the Southern Dynasty first and then say anything else!" โ
