497th Battle of Thang Long City 15
At this time, I went to Nancheng and went out of the South Gate, and it seemed that there was no interception by the Song army. But it's a dead end. If Li Changjie chooses by himself, even if he doesn't come to join his army, it is better to go directly to the West Gate, and then turn north.
The Song army came by boat, and at this time, the navy of the Great Yue Kingdom had either been subdued by the Song army, or had already made breakfast of fish, shrimp and crabs in the Red River.
Once Li Gande was ready to cross the river, the Song army ships that were lying in ambush nearby would definitely attack, and at that time, even the Daluo Immortal would not be able to save the emperor of the Great Yue Kingdom.
It's no wonder that Li Changjie is so angry.
Ruan Xiaoshou was frightened by Li Changjie's sudden yell, and replied tremblingly: "General, this is Your Majesty's own decision. Your Majesty originally planned to take people to join you in the northern city, but outside the north gate and the west gate of the imperial city, a large number of Song troops suddenly appeared. After much thought, His Majesty had to choose to break through from Nancheng. ”
"Who is that Taoist priest? Thunder breaks the city, will he still scatter beans and become a soldier? Otherwise, where would he have come from so many troops? ”
This is naturally Cai Dao.
The two squads of scouts who climbed the city and opened the city gate before were all elites trained by Cai Dao in Taihang Village. Moreover, many of them have already come to Thang Long City with the caravan. I don't dare to say that I have traveled all over the city, at least I can still distinguish between the southeast and the northwest when I get here.
Cai Dao's squad of scouts was sent out by him to carry out a mission, which was to find a way to infiltrate the palace and find the granary in the imperial city. Cai Dao was ready to burn down the granary in the imperial city first. In this way, Li Qiande could not continue to hold on to the fortified imperial city for a long time.
Originally, the scouts of Guo Zhongxiao's squad for the time being should quickly move closer to Cai Dao's side after breaking through the north gate, not because Cai Dao was stingy, but because Guo Zhongxiao didn't pay attention to the role of these scouts at all.
Unexpectedly, after seeing the scouts' amazing climbing skills again, Guo Zhongxiao's attitude changed a lot, and after discussing with Di'an, he decided to let these squads stay, wanting to use the scouts' ability to search for them from the north gate to the imperial city, the place where the forbidden army of the Great Yue Kingdom was stationed, so that they could exterminate it.
However, because Cai Dao had arranged in advance, he did not dare to easily agree to the other party's request, and after thinking about it again, he only left half of his manpower, and he took the other half of the people to join Cai Dao.
Guo Zhongxiao was naturally dissatisfied with the way the captain of the scout squad responded, but who made him talk too much before? Cai Dao specifically asked him if he needed to leave this scout team to assist him, but at that time, he didn't know how to think about it, Guo Zhongxiao actually refused directly. Looking back now, Guo Zhongxiao feels a little ashamed.
Since Guo Kui was tossed and died of illness by conservative ministers, Guo Zhongxiao has looked down on everything, studied Confucianism at home behind closed doors, and did not pay attention to everything that happened in the outside world at all. This time, it was also to catch the ducks on the shelves, Guo Zhongxiao knew in his heart that the reason why he was chosen as the commander of the Southern Expedition was nothing more than to inherit his father's prestige.
Cai Dao did not blame him after meeting the captain of this half of the scout team, after learning the details. did not use this half of the team to reconnoiter the movements of the enemy army like Guo Zhongxiao and them, but dispersed this half of the team to listen to the movements of Guo Zhongxiao's team at any time.
Soldiers are fast.
The more swift the action, the more the opponent will not be able to respond reasonably, and the enemy will not be able to grasp the movements of his side.
But Guo Zhongxiao still had the leisure to clean up the forbidden army in the city at this time. This is the time given to the other two percent of the forbidden army and gather together to deal with one of the two Song armies.
If Cai Dao is allowed to be the military commander of the Great Yue Kingdom, he will also choose to concentrate superior forces and solve Guo Zhongxiao's group first.
First of all, Cai Dao's actions along the way were fast and secretive, and the enemy must have not fully grasped the specific movements of his way so far.
Secondly, Guo Zhongxiao's move seems to be safe, but it is also invisibly weakening his military strength along the way. The Song army swept the camps of the forbidden army of the Yue Kingdom along the way, and people always died in battle! The soldiers rushed back and forth, and the generals were either on horseback or in chariots, and with the 11th route, they must have been very tired.
This is why Cai Dao specially added weight-bearing long-distance running to the training of recruits, so that Guo Zhongxiao and the others were able to quickly get rid of the pursuit of the enemy cavalry when they just met Li Changjie's army.
As for the big fold, he has a leading party to lead the way, and he is naturally familiar with the roads in the city. Moreover, at that time, it had just dawned, and except for those who were beating the watch and pouring night incense, the other people in Thang Long City were still asleep.
It was also Li Changjie's arrangement mistake, Zhe Keda originally wanted to go directly to meet Guo Zhongxiao and them, but he didn't think about it, and found out halfway that Li Sizhong led the team to prepare to return to the flank of the Song army.
Therefore, Zhe Ke led the army to lurk on the side of Li Sizhong's team. Only then did he seize the opportunity and work together with Guo Zhongxiao's team to completely destroy this team.
Then, Zhe Keda ordered his subordinates to pull across the houses and buildings near East Street, which completely blocked the entire East Street and got rid of the possible pursuit of the enemy cavalry troops.
However, the tide of battle always changes with the situation.
Cai Dao originally didn't plan to use the bombing yao, but since the enemy's army had already wanted to work together to take Guo Zhongxiao's Song army first. Cai Dao couldn't continue to hide, so when he got Guo Zhongxiao's troops fighting at the north gate, he immediately waved his troops and pointed directly at the imperial city of Da Yue.
As long as explosives are used to break through the walls of the imperial city, then the army of the Great Yue Kingdom, which is fighting with Guo Zhongxiao all the way, will definitely be forced to return to the division to save the driver.
As for the idea of sprinkling beans into soldiers, of course, it is nonsense.
Cai Dao's subordinates have so many people, so it is naturally impossible to divide the soldiers into three waves.
Instead, Cai Dao knew that Guo Zhongxiao's situation was in crisis along the way, so he immediately gave up the two side gates in the east, and let Xie Feibao directly lead the army from the south city back to the west gate of the imperial city, and Zhi Kerou led the troops back to the north gate of the imperial city, Cai Dao also took the initiative to reduce the defensive strength of the east gate, where there were less than 1,000 troops left, as well as wounded soldiers. The 1,000 people who were drawn were distributed to Zhe Kerou.
It's not that he takes care of this female general, but the situation in Beicheng is more complicated, and no one knows if Li Changjie will leave any behind-the-scenes behind his own army.
