489th Battle of Thang Long City 7
Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. Anyway, these Dayue people are not Han Chinese, and if they are killed, they will be killed.
In this way, on the way of Cai Dao's march, the Dayue army was like adding fuel, trying to block the way of the Song army in waves.
However, the incident was in such a hurry that there was no time for them to set up fortifications on the long street, so both sides were engaged in hand-to-hand combat.
Cai Dao has always used almost the same strategy, when the opposing sides meet, the main team immediately turns into a defensive state, after estimating the actual number of opponents, after making timely adjustments, the troops led by Xie Feibao will either attack the enemy from behind or from the flanks on both sides.
Less than three miles away from the imperial city, Cai Dao finally met a team that had always been very large.
……
At this time, some high-spirited Guo Zhongxiao encountered great difficulties.
If Cai Dao hadn't divided 5,000 soldiers to support him under the leadership of the fierce general Zhe Keda, the Song army, which had already captured the three gates in the north, had already been defeated by the forbidden army of the Great Yue Kingdom.
Originally, the team led by Guo Zhongxiao was much smoother than Cai Dao.
Whether it was when defending the city, or those secret posts had not had time to resist or warn, they all became prisoners of the Song army.
However, Guo Zhongxiao's offensive method was different from Cai Dao's, leading the army to break through from the front, but he sent his reconnaissance battalion to explore all the garrisons of the Great Yue Forbidden Army between the north gate and the imperial city.
Guo Zhongxiao concentrated his efforts to exterminate these military camps, originally, what he did was actually better than Cai Dao.
The troops led by Cai Dao were passive to meet the enemy, but Guo Zhongxiao took the initiative to uproot the military camps along the way and eliminate the Great Yue troops that might threaten the flank of the Song army.
But Guo Zhongxiao did this, but it undoubtedly greatly delayed the time for the march and Cai Dao to converge, and as the son of a family of military generals, he was an out-and-out Confucian, of course, he was not as ruthless as Cai Dao, a traverser, who dared to slaughter those prisoners.
Naturally, these captives could not be left in the original barracks, and taking them with them would further delay the march.
At the back of the Song army, a part of the soldiers had to be assigned to take care of them, which weakened the Song army, which was already undermanned, and if these prisoners were placed in front of their formation, the movement would be even slower.
As a result, Guo Zhongxiao's womanly kindness gave Da Yue a chance to breathe. Eventually, the news spread that a large army had begun to attack Thang Long City and had completely occupied the east gate of Thang Long City.
Although Li Changjie is a eunuch, he sometimes enters the palace to serve Li Qiande, and sometimes, he will return to his mansion to rest. This old eunuch with outstanding military achievements naturally doesn't need to be like Liang Shicheng, he has to be close to Zhao Xu all the time in order to stabilize his power.
Such a terrifying news finally came to Li Changjie's ears in circles, and he quickly gathered people and sent all the spies under him out, wanting to know the specific situation of the entire Thang Long City as soon as possible.
Li Changjie quickly broke into the palace and woke up Li Qiande, who was still asleep. When this so-called 'Renzong' heard this, he immediately became furious, and he asked sharply: "Aiqing, what kind of fanatic is he who dares to attack my capital. Also, what did the defenders of Dongcheng do to eat, why did they lose the East Gate so easily? ”
"Your Majesty, now is not the time to hold you accountable, you should immediately send someone to summon the nearby generals to the palace to discuss, and when the old slave sends someone to the four cities to investigate, and after getting detailed information, you can immediately let them lead the troops to eliminate these bold people." Li Changjie was also very shocked, but he was still quite calm at the moment, and made a suggestion.
"Well, that's good! It's me in a hurry. Li Gande nodded, and immediately commanded loudly: "Someone! Quickly let the generals on duty come to see me, and by the way, send someone to ask General Ruan Chong Su to witness. ”
After the order, "Aiqing, who do you say can attack the capital?" ”
Li Qiande couldn't understand this, and Li Changjie was naturally puzzled.
However, as soon as the lord of the country had already opened his mouth, Li Changjie had to say his guess, although after he calmed down, he thought about a lot of reliable possibilities, but in his heart, there was still an extremely unreliable idea that had been gnawing at his heart.
"Your Majesty, it will certainly not be a rebellion in the country, nor will there be a rebellion among the forbidden army. Because, if it were these people, the current Thang Long City would have been scattered with fire. Even if the three kingdoms of Dali, Zhenla and Champa declare war on our Dayue Kingdom, they don't have the ability to directly attack Thang Long City! It is very likely that Chenla or Champa purchased the giant warship from Cai Dao, so that they could directly attack our capital from the sea. Li Changjie finished after thinking about it.
"Anything else? Today's Great Song Dynasty is the little doll in the government. He is still young and does not pose much of a threat, but don't forget, now in the Great Song Dynasty, but the ruthless man Zhang Dian has become the prime minister. Moreover, that Lu Huiqing was also suddenly sent to Guizhou as the governor. Children are very vindictive. "To those who know you are your enemies, and this is not true.
Although after the Song Yue Xining War, Li Qiande begged for peace with Song Shenzong, but he has always been concerned about the situation in the Great Song Dynasty. He has always been obsessed with the Guangnan West Road of the Great Song Dynasty, and even the entire Lingnan.
Since Li Gande still wanted to hear more of his own opinions, Li Changjie said: "Your Majesty, what you said is indeed possible. However, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream that the little emperor now wants to send a large army to take revenge on the Great Yue Kingdom. After saying so much, the old slave had a very ridiculous idea, and he didn't need to know whether he should say it or not. ”
"Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" Li Qiande said indifferently. However, he sighed secretly in his heart, over the years, Li Changjie has become more and more timid. It's no longer like the man who led the army to fight the Song Dynasty army twenty years ago.
"Your Majesty, if today, the ship made by the Cai family in Xianyou County is the most sophisticated, large, and the ship found is very stable at sea. To be able to quietly attack Thang Long City, no matter who the other party is, they must come by sea, and they must be on a large sea ship customized by the Cai family. Lao Chen just couldn't understand why they didn't go to the West City, but instead took the entire East City Gate. It's really incomprehensible! ”
