Chapter 400 Chapter 14 The Three Armies of the Brave Champion (Medium)
()
The smoothness of the war in South Vietnam can only be described as overwhelming, which shocked Wei Chi Gong, who had experienced dozens of battles large and small.
The reason for such a result is not that the South Vietnamese are really as unbearable as chickens and dogs, in fact, since Wei Chi Gong and the Tang army arrived at the Annam Metropolitan Protectorate, they have begun to encounter strong resistance from the South Vietnamese.
These South Vietnamese were not the kind of simple mobs, they had standard weapons and equipment, and they also advanced and retreated in a moderate way when fighting with the Tang army, and it can be seen that this is not the first time they have fought a war.
What kind of mob is this? This is clearly a qualified army!
At this moment, Lieutenant Chi Gong felt that something was wrong, and after he sent scouts to investigate, he found that the situation was far worse than he knew.
At the beginning, Wei Chi Gong heard that there were only about 20,000 rebels in South Vietnam, so he would bring 50,000 Tang troops to quell the rebellion, but now he found that the number of rebels was far more than 20,000.
As early as the beginning of the year, the four prefectures and counties of Aizhou, Huanzhou, Tangzhou and Luofu Prefecture south of the Protectorate of Annam, had already been controlled by the rebels, and the number of rebels had already exceeded 100,000!
The governor who guarded the place was worried that the imperial court would blame him, so he did not report it, but used the Annam Metropolitan Protectorate and Jiaozhou as the boundary to prevent the South Vietnamese rebels from advancing northward, and at the same time sent troops and horses to fight them, intending to suppress the rebellion before the imperial court knew about it.
In fact, this is not the first time they have done this kind of thing.
However, this time the situation was even more serious than usual, and after more than a month, the rebellion was still not suppressed, and even the agarwood that was paid to the imperial court every year was broken.
In this way, the rebellion of the South Vietnamese could not be concealed.
When Wei Chi Gong figured out these things, he was so angry that he directly pulled out the governor of South Vietnam, tied him to the door of the governor's mansion and whipped him dozens of times.
However, after the fight, he fell into hesitation again.
Since ancient times, fighting a war has paid attention to major elements: time, place, and people, and as long as this is accounted for, the probability of winning the war has increased a lot.
Now the South Vietnamese can be said to have taken it all in.
First of all, most of the Tang troops who came to South Vietnam this time were northerners, and the climate in South Vietnam was hot, with high temperatures throughout the year, and after coming here, many Tang troops were unwell.
The second is the geographical advantage, the Tang army is good at fighting on the plains, but South Vietnam is full of dense forests, with many poisonous insects and fierce beasts, which makes the Tang army's combat power cut by two percent.
Finally, there are people, most of the people who live in South Vietnam today are native people of South Vietnam, and only a small number of them have migrated from the Tang Dynasty.
Obviously, these South Vietnamese rebels were more likely to gain the support of the local population than the Tang Army, which is why the previous South Vietnamese Protectorate could not quickly quell the rebellion.
However, Wei Chigong did not flinch because of this, on the contrary, his fighting spirit became even higher.
"Since I can't compete for time, place, and people, then I will break it with bravery!"
Immediately, Wei Chigong personally went into battle and led the Tang army to attack Aizhou.
Originally, Wei Chigong thought that there might be a lot of battle losses in this battle, and thousands of casualties were also in his consideration, but what he didn't expect was that when attacking the city, things turned around!
It's all because of one person, his name is Li Yunhu!
Li Yunhu is the tiger, originally named him Li Hu wisely, but later knew that he was making a fuss, because Li Yuan's grandfather was also called Li Hu.
So when he named Huzi Li Hu, didn't he find an ancestor for himself? Isn't this self-inflicted?
Now Gao Ming finally understood why sometimes Huzi would block himself as soon as he opened his mouth, and it turned out that the problem was the name he gave him.
So, Gao Ming hurriedly added a word between Huzi's name and became Li Yunhu.
Wei Chigong also knew Huzi, when he set off with a large army, when he was about to arrive at Jiannan Road, he met Huzi who was chasing him, and after seeing Huzi bring a clever book, he let Huzi stay, and let him be a forward captain.
If it were other generals, such as Li Ji, who knew that Huzi was a smart person, he would at least give him a position as a partial general, which could be regarded as giving Gao Ming, the prince, some face.
But Wei Chigong didn't do this, in fact, if he hadn't seen it for Wei Chigong's strength, he wouldn't even let him be a lieutenant.
Want a good location? Okay, behave well on the battlefield!
What Yu Chigong didn't expect was that Huzi quickly had a performance, and this performance was shocking!
In front of Aizhou City, the South Vietnamese sent 20,000 men to confront the Tang army, and Wei Chi Gong asked Huzi to take 1,000 people up to feint for a while, and then pretended to be defeated, led the South Vietnamese to his ambush site, and then surrounded and annihilated them.
However, after Huzi came out of the battle, Wei Chigong waited left and right and didn't see him come back, just when Wei Chigong wondered if he had encountered something unexpected, the herald returned.
"Report! Report to the general, General Li has broken through the city of love! ”
"What?"
Hearing the news, Wei Chigong was so surprised that he almost fell off his horse.
"You said that Huzi, that kid broke through the city of love? Just his thousands? ”
"Yes, General Li has already entered the city, and now I'm afraid he has arrived at the Thorn Mansion in Aicheng!"
“……”
Although Wei Chigong felt that this matter was too, he felt that the herald did not dare to joke with him about it, so he hurriedly led people in the direction of Aicheng.
When he arrived at the gate of the city of love, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
He saw a clear blood path, yes, a real "blood road"!
The road, less than two meters wide, was completely soaked in blood, and on both sides of the road were densely packed with corpses, and it was clear from their clothing that these were South Vietnamese rebels.
What's more, more than half of these South Vietnamese rebels were incomplete.
Some no longer have heads, some have only half of their heads, and some have still had their heads, but they are flat.
At this time, Wei Chigong and the others seemed to begin to understand what the white paste on the ground was.
"Vomit ......"
As the first vomit sounded, the sound spread.
"Vomit ......"
"Vomit...... Vomiting ......"
Under the influence of everyone, even Wei Chigong was a little disgusted.
He had seen too many scenes, but it was the first time he had seen the scene of plasma and brains paving all the way like this.
At this time, Ziwei Chi Gong somewhat understood why Huzi was able to lead people to attack the city of love.
"Seeing such a scene, even the soldiers who did not participate in the battle couldn't help but vomit, so the South Vietnamese who bore the brunt of the battle were probably frightened by the tigers, right?"
