Chapter 536: Xiqiang War (5)
In terms of defending the city, the Longxi army has an absolute advantage!
Da Da...
Thirty thousand iron horsemen, roaring, stood solemnly under the city. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the tower of the city, countless archers pulled the bowstrings, ready to attack. Wang Qing and Sun Yu walked to the front and looked down at the enemy troops in the distance.
Sun Yu said: "General Wang, my task has been completed, lure the enemy here, and the rest is up to you." ”
"General Sun is really powerful, he was chased by 30,000 iron cavalry, and he even escaped, admire and admire."
Wang Qing said with a smile.
At first glance, it seems to be a compliment to him, but in fact, it has a sarcastic flavor.
Sun Yu said: "Whatever you say, in short, the next thing is your business, don't you always brag about the strength of the city defense, but to see if you can block the enemy's iron cavalry." ”
"General Sun, don't worry, I will be able to stop it."
At this time, Tuoba Yan ran out of the military formation and roared angrily: "Sun Yu, you despicable and shameless villain, come out and die!" ”
"General Sun, the enemy seems to have told you to go out, why shouldn't you fight?"
"Hehe, I don't dare, don't let me just go out, you go to the lord's place to make a small report, even if Tuoba Yan says that the sky is broken, I won't go out today."
"Uhh..."
Wang Qing looked embarrassed.
He smiled and said, "Okay, since General Sun is not interested, then close the door and not fight." ”
"Tell the order, no matter how much the enemy shouts, there is no need to respond, if the enemy approaches, the bow and arrow will return."
"No."
The herald answered, passing the order on.
Longxi County did not fight, and Tuoba Yan shouted for two hours, but it was useless. And to deal with the city, it is necessary to have siege equipment, at least there should be a ladder.
So, in desperation, he could only give the order to temporarily withdraw the army, step up the production of siege equipment, and then annihilate the enemy when the equipment was sufficient.
*************
The Xiqiang War, Jiangnan was not peaceful.
The battle here is not as small as Xiqiang's, but whenever it is dispatched, hundreds of thousands of troops are involved, and if one is not careful, it is not a city or a place that is lost, but the entire Jiangnan or the entire Huainan.
Qin Huaiyu stormed Yangzhou, and in just two days, Yangzhou was breached, and the imperial army successfully occupied the city.
But at the same time, Lu Yang received an order from Zhuge Can, led 10,000 iron cavalry, quietly evacuated Yangzhou, escaped the pursuit of the enemy, and fled back to Jiangnan from Jiangbei.
According to Zhuge Can's strategy, Aguduo led 180,000 troops, quickly marched eastward, evacuated Suzhou, and prepared to attack the enemy's city from the weak place in Huainan.
On this day, Qin Huaiyu gathered all the generals in Yangzhou to discuss the next strategic deployment.
All the generals were very happy, laughing and celebrating Yangzhou's victory.
Only Qin Huaiyu was the only one who was not the slightest bit happy on his face, but his face was full of sadness, which made everyone puzzled.
Temujin asked, "Why is General Qin unhappy?" Shouldn't we attack Yangzhou? ”
Qin Huaiyu looked at the map and said worriedly: "You don't know, at the same time as we captured Yangzhou, Lu Yang, who was stationed in Yangzhou, fled and returned to Jiangnan from Jiangdong. At the same time, Suzhou Aguduo personally led an army of 180,000 to the east, not knowing what he wanted. ”
Temujin laughed and said: "Isn't that right, he led the army away, Suzhou happened to be empty, we immediately cavalry, and captured his Suzhou, which is the core of the entire Jiangnan, and all the resources are piled up there, hahaah... After capturing there, I think it will not be far from pacifying Jiangnan. ”
"It's not that easy..."
Qin Huaiyu smiled bitterly. came to the position and sat down, and said: "I'm worried now, this is a conspiracy of the enemy, Suzhou is such an important city, the enemy is not stationed, but the soldiers and horses are transferred, where are they going to attack?" ”
"No matter where he attacks, let's fight ours."
Speaking of this, everyone in the hall laughed.
Everyone picked up the wine bottle and drank it all.
Qin Huaiyu took this important task and swore in front of Li Shimin that he would protect Huainan, pacify Jiangnan, and expel the Xiliang soldiers from the Central Plains; Although there is such a small victory now, he does not dare to be careless.
Aguduo can defeat Jiangnan, it is by no means as simple as imagined, he has to pay attention to it.
Qin Huaiyu said: "Although we have now conquered Yangzhou and pacified Huainan, we must not despise the enemy army; I intend to protect Huainan first, and then Xu Tu is enterprising. ”
"There are not many garrisons in Huainan, they were all transferred away by the former Jiangnan Provincial Jiedu Envoy, and now that Jiangnan has been lost, Huainan is not peaceful, we should transfer troops to help."
Temujin took a sip of wine and asked, "Then General Qin, how are you going to help?" ”
Qin Huaiyu said: "What I'm most worried about now is the 180,000 people in Aguduo, I don't know what the other party is and what the intention is, if he wants to hit my Huainan's attention, it will be troublesome." ”
"The so-called fish and bear's paw can't have both, I don't think we should attack Suzhou for the time being, we should transfer troops to the east immediately, follow Aguduo, and gallop to help me in the eastern part of Huainan to avoid the loss of the city guard."
"You must know that it is easy to defend the city, but it is difficult to attack the city, once you lose the eastern city, if you want to recapture it, it will cost a huge price."
Tiemujin and Tiemuyin both belong to the kind of people who are simple-minded and have well-developed limbs, and when they heard that things were so complicated, they didn't bother to think about it, and said directly: "General Qin, anyway, we are here to help in the war, you can do what you say, and we will never say anything." ”
"Okay."
Qin Huaiyu smiled, he appreciated the two brothers of the Tiemu family. He said: "In this case, I will ask the two generals to lead the army to the east and distribute the troops in.... Speaking of this, Qin Huaiyu got up and looked at the map, pointed to the map and said: "It is distributed in Anzhou, Shuzhou, Guangzhou, Hao, Lu, and Shou prefectures to ensure the safety of my eastern Huainan." ”
Temukin asked, "What about you, general?" ”
Qin Huaiyu said with a smile: "I, I'll lead an army of 100,000 to confront the remnants of the enemy in Suzhou here, looking for an opportunity to annihilate them in one fell swoop!" ”
"Our soldiers are divided into two ways, no matter who wins, it's worth the trip."
"The general is wise, I'll do it."
Temujin and Temuyin replied in unison.
Qin Huaiyu was delighted, picked up the wine bottle, and said, "Come, let's drink this bottle together." ”
"General, please."
Everyone drank it all at once.
Next, the Don Army also underwent military changes. In response to Aguduo's eastward crusade, Tiemujin and Tiemuyin personally led 140,000 iron horsemen to the east, preparing to gallop to the aid of Anzhou, Shuzhou, Guangzhou, Hao, Lu, and Shou Prefectures to ensure the safety of eastern Huainan.
These 140,000 people, but the elite of the Northern Desert, is also the most powerful main force in the counterinsurgency army, as soon as these leave, the 100,000 people in Qin Huaiyu's hands will be much weaker, except for the tens of thousands of people stationed in Yangzhou, there are only tens of thousands of people who can be mobilized, and most of them are new soldiers.
But even so, Zhuge Can did not dare to attack Yangzhou directly, and besides, he was not ready to attack Yangzhou, just stationed in Suzhou.
His task is to defend!
As a result, both armies were at a stalemate, waiting for military reports from the front.
