Chapter 465: To Minzhou City!
However, after seeing this Luo Yin's attitude just now, Tianda immediately dispelled this idea. He believed that if he really went to Yuanzhou City, he was afraid that his two thousand remnants of the army would be under his command by Luo Yin in a few days.
When the time comes, the fate of his Tianda will become even more tragic. Even if he reoccupies Hezhou City, it is impossible to have its own merits in it.
After deciding not to go to Wonju City, Tianda took out the map and began to look for where to go next. Suddenly, when he saw an area, a gleam flashed in his eyes. At this moment, his eyes were fixed on a city that was not very far from here, and it was obvious that a fierce ideological struggle was going on in his mind.
And at this moment, he remembered the taunt and ridicule of Naluo Palace before. In an instant, the hesitation in his eyes suddenly dissipated. He immediately turned around and said to the few generals standing behind him, "Let's attack Minzhou City!" ”
After hearing their general's words, several generals glanced at each other, and they all saw a look of shock in each other's eyes. They heard it right! Now that they are a group of defeated soldiers, shouldn't they consider which city to take refuge in?
Even Lin Lao, who was standing beside him, had a hint of surprise in his eyes after hearing that he was going to attack Minzhou City. Immediately, Lin Lao also glanced at the map in Tianda's hand, nodded slightly, and said, "With our current strength, it is not impossible to attack Minzhou City."
"That's right, although this Minzhou City has always been a big city. However, now the news that our army is preparing to attack Chang'an City is well known. Presumably, the vigilance of Minzhou City is not too high. Moreover, this Minzhou city experienced a big war not long ago. Although the battle only lasted for a short time, it almost consumed the forces in the city. The current Luzhou City can be said to be just an empty shelf. ”
After hearing Tianda's analysis, several of his generals suddenly showed a bright face, and one of them praised repeatedly, "What the general said is extremely true, we will follow the general to beat them by surprise!" ”
At this time, Lu Chen, who had just captured Hezhou City. After nearly a day of clean-up operations, he finally took this huge city under complete control of his own hands. If there is only one remaining destabilizing factor in this city, I am afraid that it is the private army of those families.
It's just that although Lu Chen understands this in his heart, he is helpless. After all, there are only a few thousand recruits under his command, and if he really fights with these big families, it is still unknown who will lose and who will win in the end.
What's more, even if he wins, he will definitely suffer heavy casualties. At that time, if those fleeing Tubo soldiers invited reinforcements, Lu Chenke would be sad. Therefore, now Lu Chen can't make a big family fight no matter what.
However, even if it doesn't get into trouble with these big families, this Hezhou City is not easy to hold. After all, he has no hole cards in his hand, and if the enemy army comes with 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses, he will not be able to resist even if he fights for his life.
In fact, Lu Chen didn't know that the Tibetan side had sent reinforcements just now. It was only because Luo Yin, the commander of the reinforcements, was at odds with General Tianda that he deliberately did not come to recapture this city.
Because Luo Yin wanted to use this war to make Tianda's power in the Tubo military completely disappear. If he and Tianda had recaptured this city at that time, Tianda would not have been severely punished at that time.
If Lu Chen knew the inside story of this matter, he would definitely go to the door in person to find Luo Yin and thank him. Where to find such a good-hearted enemy!
Lu Chen did not report the news of the capture of Hezhou City to the imperial court. He knew that if Yang Guozhong knew that he was still alive and captured Hezhou City, a strategically important city. When the time comes, you'll be in real danger. It is impossible for him Yang Guozhong to let himself live well in this world.
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Chen immediately ordered his guards to gather. These guards were the more than 200 people who followed Lu Chen into Hezhou City and were hunted down. Later, the Tubo soldiers who pursued them were all called back to the battlefield by their generals, so these guards also returned to Lu Chen's side.
Although it has been hunted for a long time. But the guards that the old butler had selected for him were all elites. Even if you are hunted down, you can't be killed easily.
Therefore, after more than 200 guards passed through that battle, only about 20 people were lost. More than a dozen of these two dozen were killed in the later battle.
When all these guards were assembled, Lu Chen immediately ordered, "Come out with five guard chiefs, lead a hundred people, and stay in this Hezhou City." If the enemy is coming, you will not be able to hold out. If you can't hold it, run away, and don't fight. The other guards come with me! ”
After speaking, Lu Chen led seventy or eighty guards and immediately rushed towards the outside of the city.
When they captured Hezhou City, Lu Chen knew in his heart that with their current strength, it was impossible to hold Hezhou City. If he wanted to defend the city of Hezhou, he had to go elsewhere to borrow troops.
Therefore, after completely controlling Hezhou City, Lu Chen thought about it, and first dispatched two thousand soldiers from the Holy City, so that he should be able to hold Hezhou City.
Don't look at it as just 2,000 soldiers, but each of these soldiers is an elite. Although they are not experienced in a hundred battles, they have experienced more than a dozen battles. Moreover, these people have been training in the Holy City, and they all have armor and weapons specially equipped for them by Landing Dust.
If these two thousand soldiers were transferred from the Holy City and faced off against the six or seven thousand recruits in Hezhou City, it was really impossible to say who would lose or win.
However, before heading to the Holy City, Lu Chen still planned to enter Minzhou City first, where he would prepare some military rations. Because the Tibetan generals had already hidden all the military rations in Hezhou City. As for where it was hidden, Lu Chen has not found it until now.
As for the Holy City, after all, there are too few people in the city, and besides, this city has only been established for more than two years, so it is impossible to have too much grain storage. In desperation, Lu Chen could only hit Minzhou City with his idea.
Lu Chen led these seventy or eighty people, rushing all the way in the direction of Minzhou City. Lu Chen wanted to go and return quickly, after all, the defense of Hezhou City was too empty now. If the enemy chooses to attack the city during the time he is away, it will be difficult to hold the city.
Lu Chen went directly to the official road this time, after all, he didn't have so much time to walk the mountains, forests and hills.
When the sky was a little dark, Lu Chennu and the others had already arrived in Minzhou City. As soon as he entered the city, Lu Chen directly found the current city lord of Minzhou City and asked him to immediately prepare enough military rations for five thousand troops to eat for five days.
