Chapter 105: Su Dingfang's Decision

Dongfeng slope, a slope that is not more than tens of meters high and covers an area of tens of thousands of square meters, is located on the north side of Fangjia Town, the southwest side of Chenjiazhai, just in the middle of the two towns, and the road connecting the two towns is just located at the foot of Dongfeng Po.

On the low hillside, the grass and most of the leaves on the ground have withered, except for the south side, near the foot of the slope, where a patch of green remains.

In the autumn wind, the green branches hang low, the dead leaves are all over the sky, and a faint piece of yellow can be seen flashing in the forest.

If one looked closer, one could see that the yellow area hidden in the woods was a group of cavalry in yellow leather armor, numbering about 500 people.

At the front of this cavalry, two generals in yellow leather armor stood in front of the formation.

Both of them are about 20 years old, riding a yellow-maned horse under their crotch, the person on the left has a resolute look in his eyes, his sword eyebrows are upside down, and the power condensed on his body is quite heavy. The person on the right seems to be 1-2 years younger, his face is slightly immature, and the right side of the war horse straddles a spear, which is extraordinary.

Su Dingfang, the name of the martyr, the word Dingfang, the word line, Han nationality, Jizhou Wuyi (now Wuyi County, Hebei) people, the Tang Dynasty outstanding military strategist, when he was young, he was famous for his bravery, he had attacked the bandits, and after the outbreak of the peasant uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he followed the army led by Dou Jiande and Liu Heimin.

After the Tang Dynasty unified the world, Su Dingfang was silent for a period of time, and it was reactivated during the Zhenguan period.

Breaking the Eastern Turks, destroying the Western Turks, the Pinglingling Rebellion, Yi Baekje, Conquering Goguryeo, and Dingtubo, Su Dingfang made a great name for the Tang Dynasty in foreign wars during his life.

At this time, Su Dingfang was in his youth, and it was the period when a person was most energetic.

The young man on the right side of Su Dingfang is named Gao Chong, a person from the Three Kingdoms period in the late Han Dynasty, who became acquainted with Su Dingfang during his travels in Jinzhu County. The two were like-minded and became brothers.

Speaking of which, the Tang Cavalry force created by the two brothers is now able to rise thanks to Sima Yu.

At the beginning, in order to catch up with Xiang Lang's family, Sima Yu had been chasing hundreds of miles and arrived at Baiyun Town, Jinzhuwan.

There, Sima Yu not only recovered Xiang Lang's family, but also got acquainted with Su Yong and others in Shengbao Village.

On a dirt slope outside Baiyun Town, Sima Yu led the Jinyi Guard to break the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, saved the lives of Su Yong and others, and left the hundreds of war horses collected from the Eight Banners Cavalry to Su Yong after the war.

Su Dingfang, who returned from traveling with Gao Chong, relied on the foundation of hundreds of war horses and Shengbao Village to establish the initial team of the Tang Cavalry Force and settled in Danfeng Field.

In the end, relying on the cavalry in their hands and Su Dingfang's strong ability to command troops, they were able to rise under Sun Kewang's continuous suppression and bring out the 2,000 elite cavalry under their command.

It was precisely with these strengths that Tang Qi was able to rise rapidly when Sun Kewang's prestige was exhausted, occupying most of Laisu County.

"Big brother, Deng Jiazhai is a mortal enemy with us, and after a few days of siege, it looks like it is about to be taken, why should we give up for the sake of the rabble like the Fang family and the Chen family?"

In the silent waiting, he watched the gallop at the foot of the slope for a long time, and the high pet, who was already a little impatient, wondered.

Dengjiazhai is only more than 10 kilometers away from the Danfeng field where the Tang cavalry is entrenched, although it is called Dengjiazhai, it is a veritable big town in Laisu County, with a permanent population of nearly 50,000 people, and the Deng family in the town has 4,000 private soldiers when it is the strongest.

At the beginning, under the instruction of Sun Kewang, the Deng family fought against Su Dingfang and them, and many of Tang Qi's brothers died in the hands of Deng Jiazhai.

For this mortal enemy, Gao Zhong hated it to the core, and he didn't understand why Su Dingfang wanted to let them go.

Half a month ago, Sun Kewang's Qin Palace's Mansion suddenly collapsed, and the Tang cavalry led by Su Dingfang and Gao Zhong rose rapidly and became the most powerful force in Laisu County.

Five days ago, Su Dingfang and the two gathered 6,000 troops to besiege Dengjiazhai, after three days of tragic attack, seeing that the defenders of Dengjiazhai in the town were almost dead, Su Dingfang suddenly decided to take 2,000 cavalry to attack Fangjiazhai, leaving only less than 3,000 new surrender troops to besiege Dengjiazhai.

"Second brother, how much strength do you think Deng Jiazhai still has now?"

Su Dingfang didn't answer when he heard this, turned around and looked at Gao Pet and asked rhetorically.

Although the two brothers have only known each other for more than a year, Su Dingfang knows Gao Zhong very well.

In terms of martial arts, his sworn brother is definitely a top-notch figure, and his strength in the late stage of refining gods has few opponents, even he dare not say that he can win the favor steadily, and he is a peerless general who can charge into battle.

However, in terms of commanding troops, arranging formations and strategy, Gao Zhong is obviously insufficient, and I am afraid that it is only a third-rate level.

On weekdays, Su Dingfang felt that he needed to teach him more.

"Deng Jiazhai used to have thousands of troops in its heyday, but after three defeats in Danfengchang, the strength has long been much worse than before, and even the children of the Deng family have been sent out under our onslaught in the past few days, and the remaining manpower in the city should be less than 500 people!"

Gao Pet thought for a while.

Deng Jiazhai has made three large-scale expeditions to Danfengchang, but each time he was defeated by hundreds of cavalry led by Su Dingfang.

After the three defeats, Dengjiazhai killed and captured more than 6,000 prisoners, and the name of Su Dingfang's Tang Dynasty military god spread throughout Laisu County.

It was also the prestige that broke out in the continuous battle with Dengjiazhai that made Sun Kewang Qinwang's mansion collapse, and later the surrounding towns of Su County took the initiative to surrender.

"Deng Jiazhai, it's just a disease of scabies, I have never taken it to heart. The reason why he led the troops to attack Dengjiazhai was mainly to integrate the various armies and hone the recruits. After all, these are new recruits, and we don't have full control over them. However, even the most cowardly person will rise up to resist when he is forced to do so, let alone the father and son of the Deng family. Now that his minions have been defeated, there is no need to fight with him anymore, and if we are in a hurry, we will not be able to end well. It's better to slow down first, only besiege and not attack, and wait until their anger is vented, some people will always have different hearts in their hearts, and the food in the city also makes them unable to support for too long, or it won't be long before we don't attack, Dengjiazhai will be self-defeating.

On the contrary, the Fang family, the Chen family and other forces in the south can no longer let them take advantage of the opportunity to sit big, this is adjacent to Wujian County, if we can't completely take the southern towns before the Yangwu army invades the north, we will lose the qualification to compete with them. Therefore, I will lead my troops to attack Dengjiazhai with all my might, in order to induce the Fang family to make a move. Only by luring the Fang family's army out of the city will we have a chance to quickly defeat it. As long as Fangjia Town is defeated, the southern towns that were originally on the sidelines will definitely fall to the wind.

At that time, we will integrate the power of the entire Laisu County and compete with the Yangwu Army! ”

It is not that Su Dingfang is rampant, in his eyes, he has never regarded the Deng family father and son of Deng Jiazhai as real opponents, after the sudden defeat of Sun Kewang's Qin Palace, in Su Dingfang's eyes, the real opponent is only the Yangwu Army who has shown the posture of Yongzhou hegemon.

"Big brother, do you really want to be an enemy of Yangwujun? Didn't your uncle always let you switch to General Yangwu's disciples? ”

Gao Zhong suddenly realized when he heard this, and then thought of Su Yong's constant instigation of Su Dingfang to defect to Sima Yu on weekdays, and asked out loud.

"Second brother, in this troubled world, who doesn't want to fight, the strength in our hands is all fought by my brothers and my brothers, even if Sima Yu was kind to us at the beginning, without knowing him, it is impossible for me to give up everything in my hands. Moreover, this Yangwu army has no opponent in Yongzhou, and Sima Yu's command is full of elite soldiers and strong generals, how can he be willing not to fight with such a strong enemy. This battle is not to fight them to the death, in order to avoid more killings, I will gather the strength of the entire Laisu County, and fight with them. If Sima Yu really has real materials, no matter what the outcome of this battle is, I will lead my troops to serve him, and the entire Laisu County will also be our advanced step. So, today we must take down the Fang Army! ”

A trace of heat flashed in Su Dingfang's eyes, after such a long time of investigation and understanding, he did not have much resistance to defecting to Sima Yu.

But the ambition and desire stimulated by this troubled world in his heart also made him faintly reluctant to let go, and in order not to be despised by Sima Yu, he had to fight this battle, and he had to fight beautifully, whether it was for his two brothers or their subordinates.
