Chapter 783: Crazy Counterattack (Forty-Three)
Sitting in the lobby of the Yamen of Anzhou City, Gao Tang was satisfied. He looked around and smiled. But the smile only stopped for a moment before disappearing. He thought of the strange scene in the city.
"Brother Chen, what do you think of the situation in the city in front of you?" He asked Chen Cheng.
Chen Cheng said: "It stands to reason that it is not impossible that the people in this city have fled because of the war. But it's unexpected! ”
Gao Tang nodded and said, "Well, I think so too." It always feels weird. I'm afraid it's not some conspiracy of the Tartars, right? ”
"There are only tens of thousands of people, what conspiracy can there be, and withdrawing from Anzhou City is their best choice." Withdrawal said.
"Well, yes. May it be as you say! Gao Tang said as he walked to the back of the case in the lobby, and just as he was about to sit down, he stumbled and rushed into a small soldier. Plop fell to the ground, panting and shouting, "Big, big, general, no, no, it's not good." Tarnus, hundreds of thousands of Tatar troops attacked the land of Pingdu. ”
Hearing this, Gao Tang got up before he hit the butt on the chair again.
"What did you say?" Gao Tang asked loudly and urgently, and his body trembled a little.
Chen Cheng was even more shocked and shivered.
The little soldier breathed a sigh of relief, and then repeated: "General Hui, there are more than 100,000 Tatar troops attacking from the mountains to the north, and now they have broken through the defense of Pingdu and attacked Pingliang Prefecture. ”
After hearing this, Chen Cheng shouted and said, "It's not good, we have been tricked." ”
"What?" At this moment, Gao Tang only felt that his head was a little confused.
Chen Cheng said: "The Tatar army deliberately retreated, luring us to attack Anzhou City with heavy troops. They had already laid an ambush of a hundred thousand troops in the mountains north of the land of Pingdu. Just waiting for our army to come out of the cave. ”
"Oh, if that's the case, then what should we do, what should we do?" For a while, Gao Tang was already panicked.
"What to do? General Gao hurriedly ordered to return to Pingliang Prefecture along the Black Tiger Ridge to counterattack the Tatar army that had entered Pingliang Prefecture! Chen Cheng also said anxiously. He knew very well in his heart that this was a big event. If you don't get it right, you will lose Pingliangzhou.
Gao Tang suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly ordered the whole army to rush to the Black Tiger Ridge as fast as possible. He and Chen Cheng rode at the front of the group. It took half a day to enter the Black Tiger Ridge. The news was that the Tatar army was besieging the city of Pingliangzhou.
Gao Tang and Chen Cheng didn't have time to stay, and immediately led the army to the north to aid Pingliangzhou City. There were only 20,000 defenders in the city of Pingliangzhou, and it couldn't last long in the face of the attack of the Tatar army of more than 100,000.
At this time, I played a military horse in the imperial court and crossed Gyeongju into Pyongyangju. After getting the news, I also accelerated to the north to help.
In this way, the Han army has more than 100,000 troops. I can make a parity with the Tatar army.
When Gao Tang and Chen Cheng led the army to Pingliangzhou City, the Tatar army had already broken through the city gate and was attacking the city. There were still artillery in the city, and the Tatar army could not all enter the city for a while.
Gao Tang immediately ordered an attack. The Tatars had to withdraw from the city and engage the Han army. At this time, it is a hand-to-hand battle, and life and death are impermanent.
A fierce battle ended in the evening. The Tatar slaves temporarily withdrew from the north of Pingliangzhou City and firmly occupied the land of Pingdu. This Pingdu land is the widest place for the outside world to enter Pingliang Prefecture, and the Tatar army guarding this place is equivalent to completely opening a crack in Pingliang Prefecture.
The Tatar army took advantage of the gap between Gao Tang and Chen Cheng to lead Junrui to reinforce, and recaptured Anzhou City.
"Hahahaha." Spurs sat at the back of the case and laughed wildly. At this moment, he was so happy.
And Zhang Gang sat on the chair next to him, shaking the folding fan and smiling slightly. It's the kind of smug smile. After laughing for a while, he said: "General, I didn't expect reinforcements from the Han army to arrive this time, otherwise we would definitely be able to occupy the entire Pingliang Prefecture." ”
"Mr. Zhang is right. If it weren't for the Han army's sudden arrival of 50,000 reinforcements, this Pingliangzhou City would have been taken by us. It's a pity. But that's pretty good, too. We occupied the land of Pingdu, guarding this important road in and out of Pingliang Prefecture, as long as we send more military horses, then Pingliang Prefecture will be in the bag. Spurs said with a laugh. It seems that Pingliangzhou is already in his own hands.
Zhang Gang said: "General, now we must immediately report to the imperial court to send another 100,000 troops and horses, strike while the iron is hot, and take down Pingliangzhou in one fell swoop before the Han army comes to reinforce the army." ”
"Well, what Mr. Zhang said is very true. General Ben wrote a letter to the imperial court and sent it over quickly. Spurs said.
There were only Gao Tang and Chen Cheng in the state hall of Pingliang Prefecture City. Both sat and did not speak, their heads bowed. Like two defeated roosters.
After a while, Chen Chengcai said: "General Gao, we have saved Pingliangzhou City!" ”
Gao Tang just nodded silently, lifeless, and seemed to have lost all his fighting spirit.
Chen Cheng didn't feel good in his heart, but now was not the time to be sad and sad, now he had to regain his strength and find a way to take back the land of Pingdu.
So, he said: "General Gao, we have to find a way to take back the land of Pingdu now!" ”
Gao Tang finally raised his head, looked at Chen Cheng and asked, "How many men and horses did we lose this time?" ”
"There were 20,000 of them." Chen Cheng said.
"Hey! It was my biggest defeat since I went from Lion City Island to Middle-earth. Gao Tang sighed and said.
Chen Cheng said: "General Gao, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and you shouldn't be too entangled." Now you and I still have to find a way to take back the land of Pingdu. ”
"Then what are we waiting for, let's send troops now!" Gao Tang said.
Chen Cheng said: "General Gao, it's late at night now, I think I'll wait for the troops to be sent early tomorrow morning." It also gave the soldiers a little rest. ”
"Well, okay, just do what Brother Chen said!" Gao Tang said weakly.
This kind of mood is not good at all, and it infects Chen Cheng. Chen Cheng also said weakly: "General Gao, go and rest." I went too. ”
"Okay, there you go. I'll stay a little longer. Gao Tang still said weakly.
Chen Cheng went, Gao Tang raised his sad face and sighed. I regret very much that I didn't listen to His Majesty's words. This has led to this unfavorable situation.
He himself spent another hour in the empty hall before going to his room to rest.
Early the next morning, Chen Chengcheng ordered an attack on the land of Pingdu. There's no danger to be defended. It was directly attacked face to face. Chen Cheng naturally gave full play to the strengths of the Han army's weapons, while the Tatar slaves launched a cavalry counterattack, vowing to take over this peaceful land.
