Section 177 Successive difficulties
The flowers bloom in two, one on each branch
On the current battlefield of Northeast Korea and Korea, Goguryeo is really a grasshopper after the autumn, and it has been jumping up for a few days, but Silla has become a big problem for the Tang Dynasty. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Goguryeo first gave the Tang Dynasty a defeat and destroyed the country, and the remnants of the rebellion did not accept the rebellion and fought with the Tang Dynasty, and the Silla on the Korean Peninsula In order to prevent the Tang Dynasty from completely annexing the Korean Peninsula, King Munmu of Silla united and supported the anti-Tang forces of Goguryeo and Baekje on the Korean Peninsula to attack the Tang Dynasty together, and in March of the first year of the Tang Dynasty (670), a total of 20,000 troops of Silla and Goguryeo crossed the Yalu River and fought with the Tang Dynasty.
The most recent battle was in July of the third year of the Tang Dynasty (672), when the Tang generals Gao Kan and Li Jinxing stationed 40,000 troops in Pyongyang, and in August launched a series of battles, breaking through Han Shicheng and Mayi Fortress, in fact, fighting with the remnants of Goguryeo and the Silla army, and the battle of Zhichong Province in Songyang County began.
……
Feng Xiaobao recalled Luoyang to the imperial court, and it was Yang Chengxian and Cheng Boxi's turn to be in charge, and the first problem they encountered was the instability of the army.
Songyang County's Zhichong Mansion is a new army, not long after the formation of the army, the cavalry is easy to say, but there are also nearly one-third of the new Ding, and the share is not small.
As for the infantry army, it is even more new, and all of them are new.
The four hundred heavy troops are even more headed by Feng Xiaobao.
As for the 200 mixed soldiers, such as the field hospital, the military band, and the general staff, they were all made up by Feng Xiaobao, and they had always served Feng Xiaobao, and they were skeptical of Yang Chengxian and Cheng Boxi.
Speaking of which, Feng Xiaobao is crooked, he is in charge of the cavalry with Yang Chengxian, and Cheng Boxi is in charge of the infantry, and the two armies of infantry and cavalry have initially gained the military heart and captured the two most important troops, but it is still far from enough!
When I first arrived in Dandong, I first had a three-day rest, which was to eat more, sleep more, feed the horses and carry out some adaptability training.
One day was enough to make Yang Chengxian and Cheng Boxi restless, and found that there were many people whispering to the sergeants, and strange words came out, some people said that Feng Xiaobao couldn't come back, and some people said that it was useless to follow Yang Chengxian and Cheng Boxi, anyway, everyone began to be confused about the future, saying that Feng Duwei was gone, we broke up, and we didn't do it!
The two Lieutenants knew the weight of the brother who stepped on the throne of Manu in front of everyone!
That brother has become a legend, killing 10,000 people before he was twenty years old, and he, Tang Tian and Uncle Borza's bursts of beads are unstoppable! Some of the strange things he set up (field hospitals, military bands) filled people with confidence.
Those who fought with him were convinced of him, and those who did not fight with him were full of admiration for him, and his name was engraved into the hearts of this army.
Therefore, in order to calm the morale of the army, a meeting of all the officers was called.
Yang Chengxian's first sentence said: "We fought well with cavalry on the Tubo front, and after we were promoted to Shangfu soldiers, do you know why we became half of the infantry and cavalry?" ”
Of course I don't know!
"It's Captain Feng's order!" Yang Chengxian said.
"As a result, after we trained, we were transferred to Goguryeo all of a sudden, which came in handy!" Cheng Boxi continued.
Well, everyone knows that Feng Xiaobao is very powerful, he can predict the prophet, and anything can be done, but he is not here now!
After laying the groundwork, Yang Chengxian said: "Feng Duwei once said, 'He will come back, he must be fine', therefore, what he says is what it is, do you believe it or not?" ”
"Faith!"
Seeing that everyone believed it, Cheng Boxi said: "So he will come back, we just need to fight well and wait for him to come back!" ”
"It's a donkey or a horse, pull it out and slip away, Feng Duwei said this, whether it's a hero or a bear, it depends on everyone's performance!"
……
After three days of rest, they left 1,800 horses, all of which were of the Mongol breed, and three cavalry regiments each drew one fire (ten) men to take care of the horses in Andong, and the rest waited for the rest of the people, one cavalryman with two horses, one horse for each infantryman, and the baggage soldiers used horses to transport the grain and grass rationed to the troops in Andong City, and rushed to Pyongyang City to participate in the battle.
At that time, the city of Pyongyang was not developed, and coupled with the burning of soldiers, it was even more dilapidated, and the 40,000 Tang troops crowded it and its surroundings, and the clusters were full of soldiers.
Songyang County's Zhichong Mansion went late and set up camp on the outermost periphery, but their arrival caused a sensation!
There are too many horses for them!
It is also eye-catching on the Tibetan front line where horses are produced, and when you arrive here, it is as bright as a searchlight at night.
The cavalry of six hundred horses from the west of the river makes people drool just thinking about it!
Every infantryman has a horse, and it's a luxury!
When the Zhichong Mansion in Songyang County arrived in the afternoon, he first reported to the Chinese army camp, and the internal situation immediately let some people know, and an incident occurred early the next morning.
……
Songyang County's Zhichong Mansion set up Meihua Village according to the standards of the Tang Army, that is, there are four small villages on the periphery of Dazhai, so that even if the enemy steals the camp, he is not afraid.
The sergeant of the first fire guarding the gate of the front village suddenly saw a group of Tang cavalry galloping towards them, and the fire captain shouted: "Stop! ”
How do you know that the other party's speed has not decreased at all, and it seems that he wants to come to the village?
In response to this situation, the troops have already responded, no matter who they are, just block it! If you don't block it, the gatekeeper will die, and if you block it, you will have your own officers to deal with it.
Therefore, the fire chief sent a signal to the village: "Someone is rushing to the village!" ”
Ten spears pointed at the comers, this group of Tang soldiers with bright armor, seeing this, did not enter the camp, one of them shouted: "This is Sima Cao Wenxuan, the governor of Yingzhou, quickly call your chief officer out to greet him!" ”
Sima Cao Wenxuan, the governor of Yingzhou, is also a senior officer from the fourth grade!
After receiving the report, Yang Chengxian and Cheng Boxi hurriedly left the camp with a large group of men and horses, and saw Cao Wenxuan wearing a helmet and armor, about forty years old, and a standard soldier's appearance.
Yang Cheng and the others saluted first, not kneeling to greet them, but to bow for a long time!
Cao Wenxuan said unhappily: "I am ordered by Li Jinxing, the head of the Yanshan Road march and the general of the right leading army, to take over the Zhichong Mansion in Songyang County, quickly lead the way, and let me order the troops!" ”
With a wave of his hand, his own sergeant gave the order stamped with Li Jinxing's big seal to Yang Cheng and the others, and there was no doubt about it.
"Cao Sima Rongyu, the commander of our department will be Lieutenant Feng Xiaobao, he was ordered to return to the military department, without him to sign, it will be difficult for us to obey!"
Cao Wenxuan was furious and said: "Are you a Tang general? ”
"Of course!"
"Yes, you have to obey orders, General Li controls all troops, even Captain Feng has to obey orders, do you dare to obey his orders?"
"Of course we have to carry out General Li's orders, we will fight wherever he tells us to fight, but Captain Feng is not in the camp, without his orders, it is difficult for me to obey the order!"
Cao Wenxuan stared at them and said dangerously: "If you don't listen to military orders, you want to rebel?" ”
"Cao Sima said with a smile, we are the Tang Army, how can we rebel!" Yang Cheng said.
"Let's go!" Seeing that it doesn't make sense for Yang Chengxian, Cao Wenxuan intends to ride a horse and rush to the camp!
However, Yang Cheng waved his hand, and the soldiers and guns were like a forest, blocking the gate of the wall!
Seeing that it was not for sale, Cao Wenxuan said loudly: "I am Sima Cao Wenxuan, the governor of Yingzhou, and I came to take over the Zhichong Mansion in Songyang County by the order of Li Jinxing, the head of the march of Yanshan Road and the general of the right leading army, to take over the Zhichong Mansion in Songyang County. ”
shouted three times in a row, and the soldiers of Songyang County were indifferent!
In desperation, Cao Wenxuan could not merge with fire, so he could only return in a huff.
Seeing them leaving, Fan Wuxian, the captain of the 1st Cavalry Regiment, said in a deep voice: "He was ordered by General Li, and it will be inappropriate for us to resist hard!" ”
"What are your plans?" Yang Chengxian asked.
"Feng Duwei said that the world's affairs focus on communication, and communication starts from the heart! Let's immediately ask General Li to make things clear! ”
"Very good, I'll go with you, stay in the camp and stay in the camp!" (To be continued.) )
