Outside the city, the camp of Wu Yuejun's army was brightly lit. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Hu Qing was wearing a silver helmet, silver-white Mingguang armor, and a horizontal knife at his waist, his young and confident face was full of spirit. Despite the rapid journey, Hu Qing still did not feel tired, but the upcoming battle made him energetic and full of passion.

Bao Xiurang asked people to hang up the map and tell Hu Qing about the current situation in Fuzhou City, and he had received accurate information that Fuzhou City was indeed controlled by the Tang people. This news is naturally very bad, the Tang people occupy the city of Fuzhou, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Wu Yueguo must advance by land and water in order to gain an advantage and recapture Fuzhou.

Of course, after the unfavorable news, there is very good news, that is, there are not many Tang soldiers guarding Fuzhou City. Almost all the soldiers who formed the Fuzhou garrison were soldiers who were captured by Li Hongyi, these people were tortured, their bodies were not badly damaged, and most of them had no combat effectiveness at all, and after calculation, the Tang army only had more than 1,000 people to have combat effectiveness.

Fuzhou City is so big, the defenders of more than 1,000 people are simply overstretched, far from enough to deploy, if it were not for the east and south of Fuzhou City surrounded by water, in the case of Wu Yue's lack of water army, can only attack the north, this Fuzhou City may have been broken a long time ago.

The problem in front of Wu Yuejun is that there are a lot of troops, but there are not enough siege equipment, and at present, only a simple ladder can attack the city. This greatly limited the ability of Wu Yue's army to attack fortifications, a battle during the day, Bao Xiu let several times to the top of the city, and finally fell short, although it was related to the timely arrival of Tang army reinforcements, but the lack of siege equipment had a great impact, otherwise the first attack, Bao Xiu let was very confident to take Fuzhou City.

Now although it is said that it is a failure, but the army came to help, with Hu Qing's soldiers and horses, Wu Yue's army suddenly increased to more than 30,000 people, and the Tang army's strength ratio reached an astonishing point, both Bao Xiurang and Hu Qing felt that in the case of such a disparity in strength, it was impossible for the Tang army to hold the city.

The key is time, the Tang army guards must have asked for help from the Jianzhou side, but how many troops are there and when will they arrive? If the Tang army reinforcements arrive, it will be difficult to attack Fuzhou, so the time point needs to be grasped and the city of Fuzhou should be occupied before the Tang army reinforcements arrive. Then the city was used as a stronghold, and 30,000 people were enough to defend Fuzhou. Moreover, Wu Yueguo's reinforcements could continue to come -- whether it was an army or a navy.

In the big tent, it can be said that the lights are bright, Hu Qing and Bao Xiurang quickly made a plan to continue to attack the city tomorrow, in order to take Fuzhou City as soon as possible, the spies arranged in Fuzhou City in the past are about to start. Cooperate with the army to enter Fuzhou City. If the Tang army is defeated this time, it will be a great achievement for Hu Qing and Bao Xiurang. After the Tang army was defeated, it did not dare to use troops against Wu Yueguo for a few years. As for the war in Suzhou, I am afraid that it will also be suspended.

After the matter was finalized, Hu Qing asked Bao Xiurang to contact the spies immediately, as for him, go to rest first, and recuperate enough to fight tomorrow.

In Fuzhou City, on the Jiedu Embassy Mansion, Yang Lian currently has a topographic map, and the geography around Fuzhou City is in full view.

Cha Wenhui, Chen Tie, Zhang Wenyi, and a cadre of generals above the commander of the Fuzhou Army were all in the room, and the atmosphere was a little solemn.

It's not that the Fuzhou army has no soldiers and horses available, the Fuzhou army has been fighting for many years and is all elite, but the question is, does Yang Lian dare to use it? Just a few days ago, these people were still enemies, and before he could integrate his soldiers, Wu Yueguo quickly reacted and led his troops to attack. Therefore, Yang Lian can only be used by Tang soldiers, and there are very few Tang soldiers who can fight.

Pan Sen was on the side, pursing his lips tightly, he wanted to ask for his life, let him lead the Fuzhou army against the enemy, but obviously, he knew that it was impossible. Yang Lian was able to take more than 100 people to take the Jiedu Embassy and then control Fuzhou City, which proved that he was a person who was brave and thoughtful enough, so he would definitely consider the loyalty of the Fuzhou army.

A small number of soldiers can, for example, what Pan Sen is carrying now is the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, and the number is about three hundred. Originally, according to the establishment, a commander should have 500 people, but Fuzhou has been in turmoil for many years, and the army has suffered great losses, Li Hongyi has given priority to replenishing the personnel of his henchmen's headquarters, and the number of other commanders is relatively small, and the number of Pan Sen's headquarters is 300 people, which is already a lot.

When Pan Sen pursed his lips and thought about the question, Yang Lian looked at him at this time, with a smile on his face, and said, "General Pan, you are a native of Fuzhou, what do you think of this battle?" ”

"The last general is light-hearted, and he doesn't dare to speak falsely." Panson is very intellectual.

Yang Lian smiled, shook his head, and said, "General Pan doesn't need to worry too much, this battle is extremely dangerous, and if you want to hold Fuzhou, you must rely on you." If you have any opinions, just say that as long as you can defend Fuzhou City, this section will definitely recommend your merits to the Son of Heaven. ”

Pan Sen was overjoyed on his face, being able to make a name for himself in front of the Tang Dynasty Son of Heaven would inevitably have a bright future in the future, but having said that, under the condition of absolute disadvantage, it is almost impossible to hold Fuzhou City. After the big joy, Pan Sen couldn't come up with any good ideas for a while.

Cha Wenhui narrowed his eyes, sighed, and said, "It's a pity that it takes seven or eight days for reinforcements from Jianzhou to arrive. ”

Zhang Wenyi shook his head and said, "Chaliuhou, I'm afraid our army won't be able to hold it for seven or eight days." ”

Cha Wenhui pursed his lips, he also knew that he couldn't hold it for seven or eight days, and now that Wu Yue's army is coming, he will definitely attack the city tomorrow. He was so distracted that he couldn't think of any good ideas.

Yang Lian smiled, applauded, and said, "Okay, you don't have to be so pessimistic. Although Wu Yue's army had a lot of troops, it was not without a chance to hold Fuzhou. ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Yang Lian with wide eyes, could it be that Yang Jiedu already had an idea?

Yang Lian coughed and said, "Everyone, there are more than enough soldiers in our army to fight. Now Fuzhou has become under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and the Fuzhou soldiers are the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty. It's just that General Pan still needs help. ”

Pan Sen hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Yang Jiedu has orders, and the last general will not dare to disobey." ”

"General Pan, tomorrow the Wu Yue army will attack the city, and you will lead the soldiers to fight and block the Wu Yue soldiers here." Yang Lian stretched out his hand and pointed at the urn city. The urn city of Fuzhou city is a little different from other cities, Wang Shenzhi is expanded on the basis of the old city, the urn city belongs to the peripheral Luo city, and Luo city spans the Wang Mountain in the north of the city, constituting a complete defense system in the north of the city. The connecting link between Luocheng and Zicheng in the north is Jiacheng. Jiacheng is the north-south direction, both sides are built with the help of rivers and mountains, there is a relatively narrow road leading to the sub-city, this road is more direct, also relatively close, usually between the two cities, just rely on the Jiacheng connection.

The geography of Fuzhou City is naturally unique, and if Luocheng is breached, the defenders can continue to defend the sub-city. Even if the besieging side does not take the city, it can also take a detour to attack the sub-city.

Yang Lian asked Pan Sen to guard the urn city, this is the first line, if the urn city is lost, Wu Yuejun can enter Luocheng.

Pan Sen didn't expect Yang Lian to give him a chance so soon, so he immediately hugged his fists and said, "Obey." ”

"Three hundred people can hold it for a while, and if they can't hold it, they will retreat." Yang Lian ordered, it seems that he is not going to guard Luo Cheng.

Pan Sen was stunned for a moment, and then understood Yang Lian's thoughts, but he had a little doubt, since he thought that the outer city could not be defended, why not give up at the beginning? But he thought about it and didn't ask in the end.

Yang Lian looked at him and said with a smile: "General Pan, do you understand?" ”

Pan Sen's body shook, reacted, and immediately nodded, "The last general understands." ”

"Our army has a small number of troops, and this is also something that cannot be helped. If you can't hold Luocheng, just find an opportunity to retreat, remember, you must pretend to be defeated, and fight and leave. When you get to Jiacheng, I will let you go, and then burn Wu Yuejun. Yang Lian told him a thousand times, for fear that Pan Sen would not understand what he meant.

Only then did Pan Sen understand that Yang Lian gave him a chance, but he was actually using him as a bait to lure Wu Yuejun to kill him, and then kill Wu Yuebing in Jiacheng, and Yang Lian used fire attack, if he didn't escape in time, he was afraid that he would be burned to ashes. Thinking of this, Pan Sen's face changed slightly.

"Don't worry, as long as you enter the city and leave quickly, I will block you behind with a stone first, so that you can be reported safe and sound." Yang Lian said, comforting him, as if he was afraid that he would not agree.

Pan Sen thought for a while, hugged his fists and said: "Yang Jiedu is very loving, and the general will definitely complete the task." ”

"Okay, that's good. You must remember that you must block Wu Yueren for at least two hours, so that you will have enough time to deploy everything in this section. Yang Lian shook his head, and looked sorry when he spoke: "Wu Yueren came too quickly, and there was no time to prepare." ”

Pan Sen looked at Yang Lian with some embarrassment, and said, "Yang Jiedu, the city wall in the north of the city is wide and long, and three hundred people may not be able to hold it for two hours." ”

"The Fuzhou army is going to defend the city." Yang Lian said with a smile. In this way, the number of people is enough. There were as many as seven or eight generals in the Fuzhou Army who surrendered to Yang Lian, some of whom were commanders, and some of whom were capital heads, and there were nearly 1,000 people under them. These more than 1,000 people guarded the city, and there was no problem for two hours.

Pan Sen glanced at the generals of the Fuzhou army, and when he saw that several people nodded, he agreed, and said, "Since Yang Jiedu is very loving, we should serve Yang Jiedu." ”

"Good!" Yang Lian was overjoyed, with a smile on his face, obviously, the officers and soldiers of the Fuzhou Army were not as good as the Tang Army in his mind.

Yang Lian then said some details, and told Pan Sen and others to remember and deploy everything, Yang Lian then announced the dismissal of the meeting, and Pan Sen and other Fuzhou generals left one after another.

"Commander Pan, the Tang people are really too deceitful." Walking out of the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, someone said indignantly. Although he is a general, he has always been unwelcome, but Yang Lian is like this, obviously he is sending them to death, how can he not be depressed?

Pan Sen shook his head and said, "Where are you talking about this, Yang Jiedu favors us and others, and appoints us to guard important places, obviously trusting us, don't you have an antipathy when you say this?" ”

The man frowned and said very angrily: "Commander Pan, now that you are being reused, you are naturally loyal to him, but if I can't survive, can I still be at his mercy?" ”

Pan Sen's face changed, and he suddenly knocked him unconscious, and ordered everyone to carry him back to the house. (To be continued.) )
