Cheng Boxian, who was stationed in the city of Dongzha Prefecture, received Li Yu's military order, immediately assembled the Phoenix Guard under his command, and rushed to the Meituo Lake Governor's Mansion to relieve the siege. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After annihilating more than 500 people outside Longhe County, the whole army passed under the city without stopping for a moment in the shouts of welcome from the people in the city, and marched to the east.

"Report ...... General Yu, there are more than 5,000 people in the four coalition forces of Heishui and Shen Gang surrounding the city of Chaonan County, and more than 600 people are taking captivity and plundering in the border of Shui Bin County......"

With the continuous return of the sentry cavalry, Cheng Boxian and the generals under his command had a clear situation map of the enemy and the enemy in their minds.

Taking out the map of the Governor's Mansion of Meituo Lake, Cheng Boxian used a few small stones to indicate the location and strength of the Ya people, and looked at the map for a while.

After some deliberation in his mind, Cheng Boxian had a strategy to retreat from the enemy, stood up, and the place where he saw was still snowy.

"At this time in the Central Plains, the beginning of spring, the grass and trees sprouted, and Liaodong still had a heavy snow from time to time, and the further north it went, the heavier the snow, and the colder the weather."

The generals were a little puzzled, the military situation ahead was urgent, why did the commander talk about the weather at this time.

Cheng Boheng asked, "Big brother, how should we march now?" ”

After sweeping the three younger brothers and other generals, Cheng Boxian smiled faintly: "Don't worry, all the cities of the Meituo Lake Governor's Mansion have reserved enough grain and grass for the winter, and the people of the Empire are not good at attacking cities, so far they have not even breached the cities defended by more than 100 soldiers and a group of people, so there is no need to worry about the safety of the cities." The people of each city have only moved here for a few months, and they have not even reclaimed a few acres of land, and the people live in the city. ”

Captain Cui Yi frowned and said, "General, our army is ordered by His Highness to reinforce the Governor's Mansion of Meituo Lake and repel the Turbulent people. Nuo is to watch from the wall by the people of the Yan Tatar to take the initiative to withdraw the army, His Royal Highness Promise is to know, I'm afraid ......"

"Hahaha, who said that Ben was going to let the people of the Tatar retreat calmly?"

"What do you mean, big brother?"

Cheng Boxian laughed and analyzed: "The people of the Yan Dynasty are short of food and grass, so they surrounded the county town of Chaonan with a large amount of grain and grass, and divided a part of the army to attack other cities, but they couldn't defeat a single city, let alone get grain and grass. The longer the time is held, the more difficult it will be for the people to hold on, and the morale of the army will inevitably disperse as the grain and grass are about to run out. When they can't hold on and retreat, they will definitely have no fighting spirit and no fighting spirit. Our army will take the opportunity to chase and kill, and it will be able to win in one battle. If our army rushes to break the siege now, the happiest person will not be Wang Hu trapped in the city of Chao Nam, but the people of the Yan who are in a dilemma. Forced by the limited food and grass, the people of the Yan Tatar most hope to fight a decisive battle with our army as soon as possible, and they must be fierce and not afraid of death in wartime, and their strength is above our army. When the time comes, will the victory or defeat be unpredictable? ”

"At the moment, our army only needs to find a favorable terrain to camp and hold on, and it is the best policy to order the people of the Yan Dynasty to be in the throat."

"Big brother, our army has to hold on now, why not enter the nearest city of Ratein County, why do you need to find a favorable terrain again."

Cheng Bozheng's words were immediately approved by some generals, and how could it be compared with garrisoning a fortified city compared to the whole army's efforts to build a camp.

With the support of other generals, Cheng Bozheng thought that he had made a good suggestion and discussed it with several generals.

Cheng Boxian's face darkened, and he stepped forward and patted the back of the fourth brother's head, and shouted, "Don't you kid look at the map?" It was more than 120 miles away from Chaonan County, and after the retreat of the Tatar people, it took more than half a day for the news to come from the sentry cavalry, and then the rapid march to Chaonan County for a day, and the Tatar people walked for nearly two days. Let's chase after it again, not to mention that they have all returned to their nests, and they will become tired when they catch up with our army, and this battle will be lost without fighting. The two places are so far apart, how can they make the people of the Yan Yan like a stalk in the throat? ”

Cheng Bozheng was stunned, quite annoyed that he had a bad idea, touched the back of his head that was a little painful by the eldest brother, and muttered with a strong face for a long time, which made the others laugh.

……

After discussing the friendship with the generals, Cheng Boxian issued a military order, and the second brother Cheng Boheng led a battalion of soldiers and horses to clear the more than 600 people who were cruising in the territory of Subin County, and he led the main force to camp on the slope of the west bank of the big bend of Chaonan Lake thirty miles south of Chaonan County.

The Phoenix Guard, which had crossed the mountains, was divided into two parts, most of which headed north along the river, and seven hundred soldiers and horses headed east.

Cheng Boheng led his troops to the border of Shubin County. Can't break the city, and the Heishui Ya Yue Xi Department, who was hunting outside the city to find an opportunity to break the city, was overjoyed when he heard the news.

The two sides fought on the coast west of Shubin County, and the Tang army, with its high-quality armor and steel knives, defeated the high-headed horses and weapons and equipment at a disadvantage, relying on the Yuexi Department who were not afraid to fight to the death.

The Tang army killed more than 300 people on the spot, and the remnants of the Yuexi tribe fled north into the mountains and forests.

After solving the problem of the people in Bin County, Cheng Boheng politely refused the warm offer of the county order and the people of the city, and immediately led his troops to the north to join the main force of Fenghuangwei.

Cheng Boxian led the army to the slope of the west bank of the Chao Phraya River, and ordered the whole army to hurry up the construction of the camp and erect the sharp piles in the deep ditch.

Outside the city of Chaonan, the chief of the Heishui Department who learned the news, and Ah Shimu, who called the chief Meng'an by the Heishui people, immediately recalled more than 1,000 soldiers and horses scattered in various places, plus more than 1,000 people who had just come to reinforce, leaving 2,000 soldiers outside the city to watch the Tang army in the city, and personally led more than 5,000 people from the four coalition forces to fight.

Cheng Boxian ordered the whole army to rely on the advice of the trenches and wood dug outside the camp to hold on to the fortifications. The Yan people surrounded the Tang army camp and attacked more than once, attacking for five days in a row, paying nearly 2,000 casualties and still not being able to fall, and the Tang army suffered more than 400 casualties.

Repelling the attack of the Tatar people again, Cheng Bozheng stood on the wall with a bloody horizontal knife and sneered loudly: "The Tatar Dolphin is nothing more than that, can you fight with me again for 300 rounds today?" ”

Because the people of the Black Water Tatar love to eat pigs, the Phoenix Guards gave them the nickname of the Dolphin.

Ah Shimu angrily whipped the horse's buttocks and ordered the whole army to return to the camp.

In a tent built with animal skins and dead branches in the ground, Ashimu, as the leader of the coalition army, sat in the tent with the other three Meng'an and the four Moks without saying a word. (The chief of the Black Water Jar is called Meng'an, as a title for the tribe and the chief, and Mouke is the title as the head of the clan and clan.) ）

Simu Meng'an Hu Qunlu said in a deep voice: "The dried fish and meat brought by our department will be eaten up in two days, if we can't defeat the food taken by the Tang people, the warriors of our department will not have the strength to fight." ”

"The iron armor of the Tang people and the snow bright steel knives, the bows and arrows in the hands of the sons and sisters are not comparable to the knives and guns at all, if you want to defeat the Tang people in two days, I don't think it's possible." Tieli Warrior An Absi Shui shook his head and sighed.

"You still want to fight, my sons and daughters are almost dead, you want me to see us withdraw." Yuexibu Menganya Sakulin's voice suddenly rose, and his tone was full of resentment.

"Withdraw, of course we have to withdraw, if it is not to rescue the Yue Xi Ministry, hundreds of my Simu Ministry's hundreds of children will not be killed or injured here."

Hu Qunlu, who had long been dissatisfied with the Yuexi Ministry's Meng'an Yazuolin, choked angrily, and immediately attracted Yazuolin and the Yuexi Ministry's Moks to ridicule each other.

The Mouke of the Simu Department, who was full of resentment and did not grab the iron, food, and slaves of the Black Water Ministry, quit, and quarreled with the people of the Yuexi Department on the spot, and there was a posture of drawing a knife and killing on the spot.

At the beginning, the people of the Tieli Department and the Black Water Department persuaded the two departments to value peace, but they persuaded and persuaded each other because they were dissatisfied in their hearts, and they also scolded each other.

Suffering from the current predicament, Ah Shimu listened to the noise in the tent and his head was as loud as a cow, and the depression in his heart suddenly broke out when the battle situation was unfavorable for more than ten days, and he suddenly pulled out the iron pot that was boiling the broth in front of him with a horizontal knife from a Tang military captain, and the four people who were so frightened that they couldn't get away looked back at him in shock.

Ah Shimu was furious and shouted into the tent, "Withdraw the troops."

……

"Report, General, the Tartars are withdrawing!"

Wang Hu, who had been trapped in the city for more than ten days, and other Xuanwu guards were overjoyed and climbed the city tower. Sure enough, the people who were surrounding the city were slowly retreating northward with their bags packed, and the siege of Chaonan City was finally lifted.

In the Phoenix Guard camp, all the generals were excited, and several generals and colonels asked Cheng Bo to fight and serve as the vanguard to pursue the Jing people.

Cheng Boxian waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, when the people of Ansheng first relax their vigilance, we will suddenly kill them." ”

"The general is clever!"
