Chapter 28 Mo Li's Advice to Chuzhou Feng Dao Drives to Shouchun City (6)
The so-called Xiongguan moat, the first priority is to take advantage of the situation, make full use of the geographical advantages to build the pass, the real Xiongguan does not need to be stationed tens of thousands of soldiers, often thousands of people are enough to stabilize the defense line, a man when the pass is not open is the meaning of the Xiongguan, the garrison of tens of thousands of troops is not called the dangerous pass and called the military city town, whether it is the Jianmen Pass of the big and small Jianshan or the Qingliu Pass of the Guanshan, the pass itself can not accommodate tens of millions of people, in the art of war, pay attention to the enemy's superior forces can not be displayed, can only fight on the scale of dozens of people and hundreds of people, It is the true meaning of the danger of the moat.

Li Decheng with more than 10,000 remnants of the Wu army defeated will rush to Qingliu Pass, Li Congjing at the head of the city will Chuzhou Thorn Shi Yinxin and other things thrown down the pass, so that this group of lost dogs disarmed and surrendered, to this step of the field Wu army has no capital to negotiate conditions with Li Congjing, there is a tiger and wolf division in front of the Xiongguan Tianyan, if the Wu army does not want to be wiped out, there is only one way to surrender, but Li Decheng's reaction made the gentlemen on the Qingliu Pass furious, this guy not only did not get off the horse to surrender, but pointed at Li Congjing's nose on horseback, and scolded for a while.
"The Li family's children are rampant, I Li Decheng Rongma has never seen what a scene in his life, it is really a fool's dream to surrender to a certain family, a certain family is full of flesh and iron bones, inheriting the high hopes of the king and the lower system of the army and the people, even if the bones are broken, they will never surrender, even if they want to die today, they will die for their family and country, but they will die as they deserve, and they will live up to their ancestors' wives and children and not live up to their Jiangdong fathers, and they want to emulate the wagging tail and begging for mercy, you are really blind to your dog's eyes! The Li family's children, if you want to take a certain master's head, go out of the customs and fight a certain battle, and see if this iron gun of a certain family spares you! ā
Li Decheng's angry scolding made Shi Yanchao angry, he immediately asked Li Congjing to go out of the customs to take down the head of the old thief, Wu Jun was clearly defeated and had no way out, at this time Li Congjing took pity on his life and wanted to let him live, Li Decheng didn't know what to do, he dared to speak disrespectfully to Li Congjing, Shi Yanchao couldn't wait to break his body into pieces.
In all fairness, Li Congjing's temper has nothing to do with gentleness, he is just not used to being happy and angry, and now that he is scolded by Li Decheng like this, he naturally will not insist on sticking a hot face to a cold ass, and ask him to put on a thoughtful face, and continue to talk bitterly to Li Decheng with emotion and reason? There is no need for this. Since Li Decheng is bent on death, Li Congjing doesn't mind fulfilling him, the other party wants the name of loyalty and righteousness, he wants thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and each other just takes what they need.
After getting Li Congjing's approval, Shi Yanchao only took ten personal soldiers out of the customs, not to mention killing Li Decheng on the head, Li Decheng's personal soldiers saw that the Tang Army only rode out of the customs eleven at first glance, and there was both the joy of the other party showing the flaws, and the anger aroused by Shi Yanchao's contempt, since they are Li Decheng's personal soldiers, they naturally have the same mind as Li Decheng, Li Decheng is loyal to the country, and they will not spare a life too much, and they made up their minds to fight with Li Decheng Wu Guoerlang who died here, and immediately greeted Shi Yanchao.
It's just that after the two met, these Wu Guoerlang were immediately killed and had no power to fight back, not to mention that they couldn't touch a single hair of Shi Yanchao, who was galloping, and even the iron cavalry beside Shi Yanchao couldn't resist it, and more than ten people were killed in an instant. Shi Yanchao took the lead in leading the ten horsemen to kill into the Wu army group, a slash-horse knife is like Guan Gong's Qinglong Yanyue knife in the romance, everywhere he goes, everyone and horses are dead, and the left and right Wu troops see him like a ghost, and they retreat in shock, and they are in chaos.
These Wu troops naturally don't know Shi Yanchao's record in Suizhou, that is the ruthless man who dares to rush against the current in the chaotic army to capture and kill the rebel generals who have surrendered to the enemy, when it comes to the ferocity of the charge, there are few people among the generals and generals of the Tang Army today who can compare with it, where will he take their group of exhausted remnants of the defeated generals in his eyes. Shi Yanchao cut through thorns and thorns to kill in front of Li Decheng, and killing Wu soldiers along the way was like harvesting barren grass and shrubs, Li Decheng Rao had already held the heart of death and was shocked with his eyes wide open, but he did not mean to retreat, but roared to catch up with Shi Yanchao.
The battle did not happen unexpectedly, how can there be so many miracles in the world, no matter how ruthless the strength is not enough, it is in vain, where is the credit of ten years of chanting the scriptures temporarily, Shi Yanchao, who has recuperated and recuperated, did not use two rounds, he cut Li Decheng at the end of the strong crossbow off the horse, and then captured Li Decheng who did not know life and death with one hand.
Shi Yanchao, who was stained with blood-stained armor, threw Li Decheng at Li Congjing's feet, hugged his fists and said "Fortunately, not dishonored" and stepped aside, respectfully waiting for Li Congjing to deal with Li Decheng. Li Decheng was stabbed by Shi Yanchao, his armor was torn from his shoulders to his chest and abdomen, his flesh and blood were blurred and bleeding, he was paralyzed on the ground and dying, but he still gritted his teeth and struggled to sit up, and then looked at Li Congjing who was looking at him with a clear expression, and blood gushed first without saying a word in his mouth.
"A certain non-dedication to national affairs, the north and the south are brave and cowardly, a certain horse has fought more than 100 times in his life, has seen countless army soldiers and horses, and in the past he fought against Zhu Wen on the battlefield, his three armies, An Neng is now the king of Qin's armor!" When Li Decheng said these words with all his might, in the bloody chest wound, there were intestines flowing out together, and the tragic situation made people's scalp numb, but he didn't look at it, "Yesterday, I surrendered the Qingliu Pass, I wanted to move later, but I didn't want the King of Qin to ride in a roundabout, I had to clear the stream first, a certain intelligence was exhausted, and there was no countermeasure, so there was today's defeat." ā
Li Decheng's voice gradually weakened, and in the end it was almost inaudible, his head drooped, and the blood line was connected from his mouth to his chest, and the flesh and blood in his chest flowed under his body, accumulating a puddle, "Since following the first emperor to conquer Huainan, half his life has been waiting for the end, and he has been forty years for a year, although he is exhausted today, he will never live up to the grace of the first emperor, and he will be ......worthy of the first emperor when he sees the first emperor on the Huangquan Road."
The veteran sitting in a pool of blood was finally silent, and he lost his breath, and his body lay at the head of the city, silent, like a monument.
Li Congjing was silent for a moment, and sighed, "Although each is its own master, the general's pride is enough to make people respectable, and he will be ordered to go down and be buried in Qingliu Pass." He glanced at the majestic mountains, the sunset was about to set, "The mountains and rivers are magnificent, so that the hero bends his waist and throws himself into a seven-foot body, and he still has no regrets in death." Then let you watch here, this picturesque country is in the hands of my Datang, how splendid and prosperous it will be in the future! ā
Li Congjingfu looked outside the pass again, more than 10,000 Wu troops stretched the road, and at a glance they could see the end of the mountain road but could not see the end of the soldiers. The guards have already caught up, and the Wu army that met head-on no longer has the intention of resisting to the death, and they have surrendered to make way for the road, and when Li Congke rushed to Qingliu Pass, Li Congjing is asking people to collect Li Decheng's body, the latter glanced at the former, and ordered: "Accept the pawns, those who do not accept it, behead!" ā
Li Congke raised his head and clenched his fists and promised loudly, with excitement in his eyes, "The last general will obey the military order!" ā
......
After the battle of Qingliuguan, Li Congjing went to Chuzhou City, because the assassins and guards in Chuzhou City were all looking out for the wind, the officials who stayed in the city basically did not have any big members, and the officials who had not fled with the assassin Shi Shou Generals, except for a few loyal people, were basically Chuzhou locals, the latter was the foundation of the local ruling power, although the official positions were not big, but they were all local snakes, Li Congjing had no reason to embarrass them, and still let these people live in their original positions, with the help of their strength to rule the Chuzhou region.
When staying in Chuzhou, Li Congjing got the news that Feng Dao had led a large number of officials to Shouchun, and he immediately passed down an order for Feng Dao to come to Chuzhou to make up for the vacuum of power in Chuzhou's upper echelons and take over Chuzhou's treasury and civil affairs. The location of Chuzhou is quite special, it can be called the core location of the land of Jiangbei, radiating all directions, the Tang army wants to attack the surrounding states and counties, including Yangzhou Chuzhou in the east, Luzhou in the west, and Hezhou in the south, and it is necessary to build Chuzhou into an intermediate supply point, which is the same as Zizhou and Yizhou for the two rivers.
Jinling, the kingdom of Wu, is located across the river at the junction of Hezhou and Yangzhou, Li Congjing has no idea about it for the time being, what he wants is Yangzhou, which is the final destination of the Tang army's march this time, and it is also the goal that must be won by attacking Jiangbei. Military significance aside, whether economically, culturally or politically, Yangzhou is the lifeblood of Jiangbei.
Now the army has captured Chuzhou, pressed Liu Xin, Li Decheng two big spiders, Huainan's Jiangbei defense line was greatly hit, Li Congjing did not want to give Huainan a chance to breathe, after the army in Chuzhou after a little rest, he let Li Congke march to Yangzhou, and at the same time sent a partial division to attack Luzhou, Hezhou, as for Li Yanqing in the Tang Dynasty, was asked by Li Congjing to move closer to the south, looking for an opportunity to capture Shuzhou. Once Luzhou fell into the hands of the Tang army, Shu, Qi, Huang, Shen, An and other prefectures in the west of Jiangbei would become the turtle in the urn.
At present, the core of the war is still in the eastern part of Jiangbei, including Haozhou and Chuzhou in the north of Chuzhou.
Li Congjing handed over the Shouchun war to Mo Li to preside, Li Yanchao temporarily assisted, and he himself was ready to sit in Chuzhou to command and dispatch the next war.
Let's say that Meng Ping led the Hundred Battles Army to Haozhou, and immediately attacked Haozhou City non-stop after burning the Haozhou Naval Division with a fire, and almost using the captured Naval Division's ship to die with the Haozhou Naval Division. Although Haozhou City is not as strong as Shouchun, it is only a small city, but it should not be underestimated, especially Haozhou City and Zhongli Pass are almost next to each other, the latter is only ten miles east of the former, similar to the location of Shishou Water Village equivalent to Shishou County, which makes the Haozhou war not so easy to fight.
Guo Tingwei is not the highest-ranking Wu official in Haozhou, the presiding officer of Haozhou affairs is the observer Liu Jin, this person and Guo Tingwei work together, made up their minds to stick to Haozhou City, and it is not easy to be with them, before Meng Ping led the Hundred Battles Army to Haozhou, Guo Tingwei and Liu Jin concentrated the big families in Haozhou City, especially the ruffian rangers, in the monasteries in the city, and sent soldiers to guard them tightly, and gave them food every day, which eliminated the possibility of them colluding with the Tang army outside the city, and also prevented these people from running out of the city to be caught by the Tang army, was interrogated by the Tang Army out of Haozhou City carefully.
Defending the city, not only to guard against the siege army outside the city, but also to guard against the big families in the city, this is the most basic military common sense, in this case, although Meng Ping has been in Haozhou for a few days, but still can not know the reality of the city, Guo Tingwei and Liu Jin are not satisfied, and according to the situation and ability of those people in the temple, let them make city defense equipment, contribute to the defense of Haozhou City, as for the young and strong in the city, it is needless to say, almost all of them were sent to the city head by Guo Tingwei and Liu Jin or coercion or lure, to help the soldiers defending the city transport equipment to treat the wounded, Or get involved in the defense of the city.
Meng Ping holds a hundred battle army and a total of ten thousand five male divisions with the guards and pro-army, and there are soldiers in front of the road, and Haozhou is just a small city, the city defense force is not much, nearly half of them are Tushan defeated and returned, the army attacked the city for several days in a row and can not be defeated, Meng Ping was furious, so he came to the front of the battle, cut the palm, and the blood of the soldiers and the soldiers died in the blood alliance, and then personally climbed the city, stormed the city of cattle and horses, the hundred battles army by the manpower war, An Chongrong, Zhao Hongyin, Jing Renzhong, Chen Qinglin and others, all rushed to lead the cronies to the head of the city.
At the height of the war, the corpses piled up into a mountain, the city walls lost their original color, and the soldiers did not use the ladder, but could step on the corpses to climb the city, killing a thousand enemies and losing 800 could not describe the degree of cruelty.
Liu Jin was killed in the chaos army when he supervised the battle at the head of the city, and fought to the death with the hundred battle troops who climbed the city, and finally died in the battle, the bones were indistinguishable, Guo Tingwei's left arm was also cut off by Zhao Hongyin's elbow, fortunately his cronies fought hard to not die under Zhao Hongyin's hands, Rao is so Guo Tingwei never left the city half a step, lying on the ground and shouting "Revenge for General Liu"!
Previously, when Guo Tingwei retreated to Haozhou, he had asked Chuzhou for help, asking him to send troops to the Tang army, the battle in Haozhou lasted until the sixth day, the Chuzhou reinforcements rushed to Haozhou by the building boat, but were blocked by the pontoon bridge built by Meng Ping in advance, the Wu army of Chuzhou under the order of the general Ma Renyu, stood up with a shield and rushed down the building boat to burn the pontoon bridge, the Tang army built a fortress at both ends of the pontoon bridge, and the garrison soldiers attacked and fought with the Wu army, the two armies fought fiercely on the left and right of the pontoon bridge, and the days did not stop, so that the blood of the soldiers of the two armies stained Huai Shui, red all downstream, The corpse drifted down the river to Chuzhou, and the people were horrified when they saw it.
If the Tang army defeated Li Decheng by Li Congjing led the gentleman to 3,000 iron cavalry, rushed hundreds of miles to seize the Qingliu Pass to shock Chuzhou City, and won because of the clever plan, then Meng Ping first defeated Liu Xin and then attacked Haozhou, which fully reflects the most common and cruel fighting with force in the war.
The Wu army in Haozhou City was different from the attack on Tushan or Dingyuan County, when the army was out of the town to fight because of the king's order, but at this time it was completely guarding its own homeland and its own interests.
In the battle of the pontoon bridge, Jing Renzhong died in battle.
During the attack on Haozhou City, An Chongrong was seriously injured and carried down from the city.
When the battle lasted until the eighth day, the Chuzhou army was the first to be repulsed.
On the ninth day of the battle, the Hundred Battles Army entered the city of Haozhou.
After a night of street fighting, the city was full of blood and fire, and corpses were blocked.
At dawn the next day, the Hundred Battles captured the city.
Neither the chickens nor the dogs survived.
