In the first battle of Jiangpu, the Hundred Battles Army won more than 5,000 heads, which was mainly due to the killing of bows and crossbows, and most of the more than 20,000 Wu troops became prisoners, including Han Xizai, the prison army who had high hopes for Xu Zhihe. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAfter the Hundred Battles Army attacked and captured Wujiang and Hezhou on the same day, Meng Ping entered the city of Hezhou the next day, this fortified city built by Wang Yanyan with all his efforts, and several times let the hard bones of the Tang army return in vain, so with the general trend of the Wu army, it fell into the hands of the Hundred Battles Army quite dramatically. If Wang Yanyan knew that the nest he had worked so hard to manage, he would be easily buried in the hands of Han Xizai, an "outsider" and the "guest army" led by him, and he himself became a poor homeless man because of it, I don't know if he would be so angry that he vomited blood and greeted Han Xizai's ancestors for eighteen generations.

After occupying Hezhou, Meng Ping sealed the treasury, and the civil affairs books and treasury money were kept intact, waiting for Feng Dao to send someone to check and receive it afterwards, his main task was to guard the crossing, set up a military defense point at the landing point on the Yangtze River, and at the same time let An Chongrong and Zhao Hongyin lead half of the troops to Chuzhou to participate in the battle of the army to encircle and annihilate the Wanghui.

After learning of the battle situation of Ma Renyu leading his troops to attack Luzhou, Meng Ping judged the situation, sent a division to capture Hanshan County, and rushed west to attack Dongguan, cutting off Ma Renyu's road back to Hezhou, so that the other party completely became a lone army.

Hanshan, Dongguan, originally just the ordinary, in this war, turned out to be the Tang Army, the Wu Army in turn, several times to attack the place of the four wars, presumably when the Jianghuai War is over, there will be a lot of "monuments" for people to mourn here out of thin air, attracting the left and right scholars, the sauster have to go, to nostalgic for the present.

When An Chongrong and Zhao Hongyin led their troops to Chuzhou, the Western Ye and Li Yanqing's troops on the Luzhou side, totaling 10,000 people, had already arrived in Quanjiao County in the south of Chuzhou.

Quanjiao County is where the vest of Wang Hui's army is located, the location is very important, the previous time was led by Jiang Wenwei, Zhang Yi, Zhu Yuan and others approached twice in the middle of the day, the defenders of Quanjiao County and Wang Hui were really frightened, fortunately, the Tang army did not really intend to capture Quanjiao County that day, so that the Wu army of Quanjiao County would not be uneasy day and night.

It's just that it's different now, Jiang Wenwei, Zhang Yi, and Zhu Yuan, the top three in Changxing, have come to attack Quanjiao County three times this time, and the people of the West Ye and Li Yanqing's 10,000 people are really rushing to capture Quanjiao County.

The soldiers of the Wu army guarding the city, saw the boundless Tang army arrayed outside the city at the head of the city, looking at each other one by one, and their hearts were very uneasy, a Wu soldier swallowed his saliva, and asked the commander of the Wu next to him in an uncertain tone: "The Tang army came back the first two times, and they all left in one battle, and this time they must not fight to the death with our troops, right?" ”

Wu Chang spat and said angrily: "Don't you see, the Tang Army has at least 10,000 people this time, have you ever seen 10,000 people running back and forth on the battlefield just to show others?" ”

The soldier's eyes widened in shock, "But if the Tang army attacks the city, can we hold it?" After speaking, he added: "Will the southern Hezhou come to help?" The first few times it was Hezhou who came to help, and Tang Jun quickly fled, this time I think Hezhou will also come to help, right? ”

Commander Wu didn't answer the soldier's words, and said in a half-loud voice: "Do your own thing, why do you have so much nonsense!" His insight was higher than that of the soldiers, and he silently thought in his heart: "This time the Tang army is attacking in a big way, it would be good if there were a large number of people and horses in Hezhou to help, but if there were no reinforcements in Hezhou...... Quanjiao County is only afraid that it will be difficult to defend! ”

Of course, Wu Chang didn't know that Hezhou had been captured by the Hundred Battles Army, and the reinforcements he was looking forward to were either killed or taken prisoner by the Tang Army.

At this time, Wu Chang could only be like many Wu soldiers, praying that the more than 10,000 Tang troops in front of the city did not really come to attack the city this time, but like the previous two times, they would withdraw after a trial, and if the Tang army really planned to attack the city, they could only hope that Wang Hui would divide his troops to help.

However, the gods did not hear the prayer of the captain, or they heard it but could not do anything about it.

On this day, outside the city of Chuzhou, Mo Li dispatched the army to fight a decisive battle with Wang Hui.

On the same day, after the capture of Hezhou, the Hundred Battles Army marched non-stop to Quanjiao County, and there were also 10,000 people!

An Chongrong, Zhao Hongyin, Li Yanqing, and the Western Ye Division, with a total of more than 20,000 Tang troops, launched a siege on Quanjiao County.

......

On the one hand, Wang Hui wanted to ensure the "deterrence" of Chuzhou, and on the other hand, he divided his troops to attack Liuhe and other places, intending to reverse the general trend of the Jianghuai war, so there were not many troops deployed in Quanjiao County, but after the first two frightenings, he finally made up 5,000 men and horses afterwards. 5,000 people guarding the city, as long as they don't make mistakes, they can always support a period of time even if they are the worst in ordinary times.

It's just that the guards of Quanjiao County are not optimistic in their hearts.

It is not so much that the Tang army is besieging the city, but that the Tang army is just besieging the city.

The Tang army's method of besieging the city was also very strange, not surrounded on all sides, but only placed a military formation in front of each of the four city gates - the military formation consisted of a phalanx of infantry soldiers commanded by four people, and a phalanx of elite cavalry commanded by one or two commanders.

The remaining Tang army was all arrayed in the north of the city, seemingly as strange soldiers, but I don't know what it was used for.

But the defenders of Quanjiao County understood that the tactics in front of the Tang Army were clearly to besiege the city and send reinforcements.

And it is not an ordinary siege to help, a general siege to help, only to the reinforcement army, there is no intention to storm the city, and the reason why the Tang army outside the city is in the four gates of the cloth combined with cavalry is clearly to prepare for the defense of Quanjiao County when the city is out of the city, take advantage of the situation to counterattack, and kill into the city!

"This is clearly not giving a way to live!" The general of Quanjiao County thought that the Tang Army's tactics were very domineering and arrogant, and it could even be said that he was a big man, and he was both resentful and sad in his heart, but he was helpless.

Quanjiao County is only about 50 miles away from Chuzhou, today the two armies outside Chuzhou City are fighting fiercely, Quanjiao County can hear clearly, although for the time being I don't know what the situation of Chuzhou is, but since the Tang Army dares to be grandiose, and gather heavy troops to appear in Quanjiao County, it can be seen that the other party is very sure of the Chuzhou war.

What made the defender of Quanjiao County even more unable to fight to the death was that he had received a report from the south that Hezhou had fallen into the hands of the Tang army!

In other words, Quanjiao County and the Wanghui Department have fallen into the siege of the Tang Army, and it is difficult to advance and retreat, and it is difficult to retreat, and they have become turtles in the urn!

"If General Wang's war in Chuzhou goes smoothly today, the situation may still have room to turn around, but if the war is unfavorable, I'm afraid it will ...... I'm afraid ......" The guard will not dare to think about it anymore, because that would mean nine deaths and one life.

However, just because the defenders don't want to do it doesn't mean that things will stop happening.

That day and night, the remnants of the Wanghui who had retreated from Chuzhou, more than 10,000 people, rushed towards Quanjiao County in the night.

After receiving the news that Wang Hui was defeated in Chuzhou and the remnants of the army were constantly pouring back towards Quanjiao County, the guards of Quanjiao County were so shocked that the three souls lost two souls, and the only bit of luck in his heart was also shattered, and the cruel reality made him difficult to accept and unable to face.

......

When Wang Hui was defeated from outside the city of Chuzhou, the camp was captured by the Tang army, tens of thousands of soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and they were forced to lose their blades and surrender more, but because of the meaning of taking the initiative to evacuate, the Tang army did not capture all the camps, so Wang Hui was not too embarrassed, although the soldiers next to him were only a few thousand people, but the entire retreat to the direction of Quanjiao County had more than 10,000 people.

Among the three armies, there must be brave people, Wang Hui's fierce generals who dare to die in the battle formation are not only Li Jianxun, Wang Hui retreated although humiliated, but also must guard against the Tang army to bite the death, Chuzhou is more than 50 miles away from Quanjiao County, Wang Hui walked while letting his cronies lead the troops to set up an ambush.

"The northern thieves can't follow, twenty miles away from our department." Halfway through the journey, in the middle of the night, the king would receive a report from the scout, "Judging by his behavior, there is no intention of chasing and killing, nor of retreating." ”

This made Wang Hui's ambush plan come to naught, and the Tang army marched cautiously, and it was inevitable to send more rangers, and it would be difficult for the ambush to be effective.

An ominous premonition rose in his heart, when the Tang army won a great victory, it was not pursued and killed, which can be understood as the main general was cautious in using troops, but if he did not chase and kill, he could not follow, the meaning of monitoring was obvious, but why did the Tang army spy on him?

Wang Hui pondered: "If I retreat to Quanjiao County, I will be able to stabilize my position, not to mention the counterattack on Chuzhou, with Han Xizai's subordinates, the surrender and the state should be safe." At that time, the soldiers entered the east by boat and rescued Yangzhou by surprise, and in the case of Yangzhou Northern Thieves having divided their troops, they might be able to reap unexpected results. In this way, this campaign cannot be said to be defeated! ”

Thinking of this, Wang Hui raised his eyes and looked around, it was dark in the wilderness, the soldiers were holding torches, there was no formation, but there was no end in sight, they were all rushing south, the Tang army was chasing behind, the soldiers did not dare to slack off, the sound of turning heads and ears was small, and the footsteps and panting were very chaotic.

Wang Hui suddenly thought: "If the northern thief wants to spy on me, he only needs to send elite cavalry, why is it a large army following?" This army is following behind, and where is the surveillance, it is clearly like ...... It's like waiting for a fighter! ”

As soon as this thought came out, Wang Hui couldn't help but be frightened, and his heart stretched down uncontrollably: "Then the front is Quanjiao County, if I enter Quanjiao, how can the northern thieves attack?" ...... Wait, Quanjiao County has been attacked twice, but it was all thunder and rain...... This time, will it be attacked again? ”

Wang Hui didn't want to think about it anymore, so he hurriedly sent his own soldiers as scouts and hurried to Quanjiao County to investigate the situation!

Not long after the soldiers left, they rushed back and brought back a piece of news that made Wang Hui desperate: "Quanjiao County is besieged, and there are about 10,000 northern thieves, who are arrayed on the road ten miles north of the city, intending to intercept us and others!" ”

"This ..... How is this possible? Why didn't Ben Jiang receive the news of Quan Jiao's attack beforehand?! Wang Hui was anxious and angry, and his expression was distorted beyond words.

"General, the water in Quanjiao County is besieged, how can the news get out...... Moreover, the northern thieves have always made good use of rangers and scouts, but I am afraid that when Quanjiao County discovers the traces of the northern thieves, the northern thieves and scouts have already controlled all roads......"

Wang Hui didn't have the heart to listen to his own soldiers anymore, he looked at the unclear front under the night sky in a daze, and his heart was cold.

There are wolves in front and tigers in the back, they are a bunch of defeated pawns, how to deal with them now?!
