Chapter 194: Siege of Hedong (2)
When I heard this, I turned my head to look at Chen Yanshou, I couldn't see his expression clearly in the night, so I pulled him and ran back, until the Chinese military tent was already brightly lit.
But there was no one in the tent.
For some reason, I find it a little weird.
At this moment, Liu Hongji walked in from outside the tent, saw us, and was about to say something with a smile.
I didn't bother to listen at all, so I just said solemnly: "The enemy is attacking the camp!" Liu Tongjun, where are the others? ”
Liu Hongji was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said: "The enemy army attacked the camp? He seemed a little unconvinced.
At this moment, several arrows flew in from outside the tent, Liu Hongji was stunned, and hurriedly turned around and lowered the curtain.
He looked at the arrow nailed to the ground, shook his head violently, and arched his hand at me, "Governor, please ......."
Before he finished speaking, I shook my figure, and I was already in front of him, and I took him to the left, and an arrow shot along the gap in the tent curtain, just through where Liu Hongji was standing, and flew backwards for a distance before inserting it into the ground.
Liu Hongji looked back at the arrow, frightened, and said, "Governor, go quickly!" ”
I shook my head and said, "Liu Tongjun, you take Chen Changshi to retreat first, and I'll go see the situation!" ”
Without waiting for their consent, he flew out of the tent.
The outside of the tent of the Chinese army has been disrupted, and the soldiers guarding the camp are retreating one after another, Wang Changhuan is at the front, standing and retreating, killing all over blood.
I walked past the soldier and came up to him and said, "Get out!" ”
Wang Chang shook his head and said, "No......"
I said, "This is a military order!" As he spoke, he took out his sword sharply and slashed at several blades in front of him, breaking a piece of "brushing".
Then I shouted to the people behind me: "The Governor is here, and the whole army is retreating west!" The front army of 500 people broke off! ”
As I spoke, everyone around me stood behind me and didn't take a step back.
I said to Wang Chang: "You retreat with people, and I will follow!" ”
Wang Chang said in a humorous manner: "Son, go first!" ”
He shoved me as he spoke.
I was grateful for his kindness, but in the face of the menacing enemy, I didn't have the heart to argue with him at all, so I simply ignored him, flew and rushed into the enemy's army, turned the sword, and a circle of people around me fell, the enemy went forward and followed, I picked up a spear from the ground, and Wang Changhuan guarded the road to the west with Wang Changhuan left and right, anyway, there was Liu Hongji in the rear army, at least part of the strength could be preserved for the time being.
We are fighting and retreating, and the enemy is already trying to bypass us.
At this moment, there was a sudden chaos in the rear of the enemy army.
Wang Changhuan and I glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "Governor, we are saved!" ”
Seeing him so happy, my mind turned around, and I suddenly thought of Shi Daqi, who was sent to demolish the bridge.
It's him!
Shi Daqi was originally a Turkic person, when Luo Khan came to the dynasty, he accompanied him into Beijing, and he was also a descendant of the Turkic royal family, and later led the crowd to take refuge in his father, because the surname Ashina, the father simply simplified it for him, and only the surname Shi is very good.
Most of the people he brought with him were his old troops when he was in the Turks, and most of them were Turkic cavalry, all of whom were brave and good at fighting.
I had arranged for him to tear down the bridge, but now that the enemy is suddenly attacking, he must have sensed the movement and returned to save him.
Wang Changhuan was overjoyed, and there was a little more strength between the swing of the big knife in his hand.
With a spear in hand, I stood in front of the formation and said behind me, "Reinforcements." The former army listens to me! Divided into two formations, one with me and one with Wang Tongjun! ”
When the news reached the rear army, we switched from defense to attack, and soon turned the tide of the battle.
It didn't take long for the reinforcements in front of him to round, and sure enough, it was Shi Daqi.
After a night of fierce fighting, 137 of our troops stationed in Liangshan were killed and more than 500 wounded.
The enemy retreated to Hedong County.
On the second day, it was found that the enemy had suffered very few casualties.
Shi Daqi said: "The person who came is Sang Xianhe, the general of Huyalang under Qu Tutong. ”
Chen Yanshou smiled when he heard this: "Sang Xianhe? As far as the lowly officials know, although this person is brave, he has a lot of complaints about the court, and he is not a stubborn person, or he can know his feelings. ”
Liu Hongji said: "Chen Changshi, as far as the last general knows, Sang Xian and his family are in the capital, I'm afraid they won't be persuaded easily." ”
Chen Yanshou said: "This is not bad. ”
Wang Chang smiled and said: "In this way, when we conquer Chang'an, we are not afraid that Sang Xianhe will not surrender?" ”
Liu Hongji said: "Wait until you conquer Chang'an? Wang Tongjun, we are going to take Hedong now, Sang Xianhe will be my ghost under the sword in the near future, what else do you need to surrender? ”
Chen Yanshou and I glanced at each other, but neither of them answered again.
After this battle, the Sui soldiers really retreated to the county seat of Hedong and no longer went out of the city to fight.
For more than ten days in a row, Dad kept attacking the city, but Hedong was as Zhang Wensu said before, the city was high and dangerous, and it was the easiest to defend and difficult to attack.
Several sieges of the city did not achieve the size of the city, but only increased casualties in vain.
At this time, when I thought of Zhang Wensu's words, I was very reasonable about every word.
In the Chinese military tent, the father bypassed the table, walked to Zhang Wensu and bowed and said, "Before, it was Shude who despised Mr. ”
Zhang Wensu, who has always been uninhibited, was very embarrassed by his father's actions, and hurriedly returned the salute: "Wensu has been thinking about Ming Gong's words for the past few days, and he feels reasonable, and at this time, our army has an advantage, even if Hedong can't be attacked for a while, it is not a big deal, so why should Ming Gong blame himself?" ”
Dad was helped up by him, looked at him and said, "What is the best plan for sir?" ”
Zhang Wensu said with a smile: "Near the Beijing Division, there is no soldier who can compete with Ming Gong, if you divide the troops to surround it, Ming Gong personally led the army straight into Chang'an." ”
Dad touched his beard and said, "What if Qu Tutong returns to the army to save him?" ”
Zhang Wensu said: "Why didn't the Ming Duke send someone to take Tongguan first and block its westward advance?" ”
Daddy laughed and said, "That makes sense." ”
Zhang Wensu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way, Dad only divided less than one-fifth of his troops to surround Hedong, but ordered Liu Wenjing to lead his troops to occupy Tongguan, and the remaining main army, led by Daddy himself, made a detour to the southwest and took Chang'an.
Dad informed Qu Tutong of this matter with great fanfare.
On the subsequent march, there were no more difficult defenders like Song Laosheng and Qu Tutong, and Dad soon arrived at the foot of Daxing City.
At this time, the world was all scorched earth, but the vicinity of Jingshi was still stable and not too affected by the war.
I walked with Zimin on the horse, pointed to the city tower that was already faintly visible in the distance, and smiled: "Zimin, we are back." ”
Zi Min smiled: "Big brother likes it here." ”
I nodded.
After a few years, Daxing City is a little more desolate than the fleeting times.
Daddy ordered to be stationed under Daxing City, and there was also a checkpoint, which was the Yin Shi Shi who had tried to kill Li Zhiyun, and the Jingzhao County Cheng Guyi who was sympathetic to him.
