Chapter 212: The Enemy Situation of the Great Wall
The situation in the land of Guanzhong was ups and downs, dazzling, first Xue Rengao destroyed the Li Tang Dynasty, and then Xue Rengao was attacked by the Jiangnan army, and the land of Guanzhong was finally controlled by the Jiangnan army.
At this time, the war between Dou Jiande's army in Hebei and Luo Yi's army had already begun.
Forced by the threat of the Jiangnan Army's pressure on the border, Dou Jiande finally made a decision as a last resort to destroy Luo Yi in Zhuozhou first, while allowing himself to have a certain strategic depth.
Dou Jiande's 200,000 troops set out from Leshou and pointed directly at Zhuo County, where Luo Yi was located.
At first, due to the pressure of the Jiangnan army, Dou Jiande did not dare to make too many moves, but only sent part of the army to conquer Luo Yi and attack Zhuozhou City.
Although there are few soldiers in Luo Yi's hands, they are regular troops left over from the Great Sui Dynasty, and they are not afraid of Dou Jiande's reckless army at all.
Luo Yi took the battle of the army to block the water with his back to the city, and let Xue Wanjun lead hundreds of cavalry to ambush on the side of the city, and take advantage of the opportunity to charge and launch an attack when the enemy crossed the river.
Sure enough, Dou Jiande's troops crossed the river to attack the city, and as soon as they crossed some of the men and horses, Xue Wanjun led the cavalry to attack the Dou army and defeated Dou Jiande's army.
Dou's army was defeated and could not approach the city walls. So, he divided his troops and attacked Huobao, Yongnu and other counties. Luo Yi sent troops to attack again and defeated the Dou army.
Dou Jiande's subordinates lost several games in a row, and they didn't dare to take the initiative to attack again, so they had to take a defensive position and wait for backup.
At this time, Dou Jiande led a large army to Yishui.
This time, Dou Jiande was determined to kill Luo Yi, otherwise, his situation would definitely be very dangerous.
Dou Jiande is taking an adventure, the Jiangnan army is stationed on the east side of Luoyang, which can attack the land of Hebei and Shanxi, Dou Jiande led the army north, which is equivalent to emptying all behind him.
In case the Jiangnan army chooses to attack the land of Hebei first. Dou Jiande is bound to be tragic.
But Dou Jiande couldn't help it, Chen Bing of the Jiangnan Army didn't move, so he couldn't feel the pulse of the Jiangnan Army.
Jiangnan Lu Chang is a person who does not play cards according to common sense, and Dou Jiande doesn't know what he is thinking. The more this is the case, the more Yang Dou Jiande is nervous. Six or seven hundred thousand troops overwhelm the border, Alexander!
It's been a long time coming. Dou Jiande can't afford to wait.
Rather than being attacked on both sides in the future, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the Jiangnan Army has not yet started to act, and pull out the nail of Luo Yi first.
Yes, Dou Jiande wants to eliminate Luo Yi behind him, so that he can have a broader depth behind him.
If the Jiangnan Army took the lead in attacking Hebei, Dou Jiande could also calmly evacuate north, so as not to be caught in the middle and wait for death like now.
I have to say that it is still worth Dou Jiande to take this risk.
Luo Yi won several games in a row and became a little proud. No longer follow the advice of subordinates. In his opinion, although Dou Jiande has many troops, they are all rabble, and there is nothing to be afraid of.
So, Luo Yi took the initiative to attack, the army continued to push forward, and the 20,000 army and Dou Jiande's 200,000 army encountered in Yishui.
Although Dou Jiande had many soldiers and horses, he took a defensive position, and the army set up camp on the bank of Yishui.
Dou Jiande also ordered the army to dig trenches to block Luo Yi's army in case of battle.
Sure enough, the two sides were in a stalemate for dozens of days, and Luo Yi felt a little impatient. thought that Dou Jiande was afraid of his son and did not dare to take the initiative to go out of the camp for a decisive battle.
Well, if you don't dare to go out of the camp for a decisive battle, then I'll take the initiative. Let's see if you Dou Jiande can block my Luo Yi's attack.
Luo Yi wanted to attack Dou Jiande's camp, and his general Xue Wanjun thought that Dou Jiande's soldiers were strong and strong, and he should not be underestimated.
"General, Dou Jiande has 200,000 troops, while our army only has 20,000, and the difference between the strength of the enemy and our army is too great. It is advisable for our army to return to the city as soon as possible and wait for work. ”
Listening to Xue Wanjun's suggestion, Luo Yi laughed a few times. said very contemptuously: "Hahaha, that Dou Jiande was born recklessly." I don't know how to lead troops to war.
Although there are many troops under his command, they are all rabble in the eyes of this general.
Our army has not fought with Dou Jiande's side once or twice. Do you think they look like an army over the months?
There is no need to say more about this matter, General Ben decided to defeat Dou Jiande's army as soon as possible in order to ensure the safety of Zhuozhou. ”
Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche brothers are the sons of Xue Shixiong, a general of the Sui Dynasty, Xue Shixiong was ordered to conquer Dou Jiande's army defeated, fled back to Zhuozhou ashamed and angry, fell ill and died, and Xue Wanjun and his brothers stayed under Luo Yi's command.
Xue Wanjun saw that Luo Yi was stubborn and did not listen to dissuasion, knowing that it was useless to say anything more, and he was helpless in his heart.
Luo Yi ordered troops and horses, and 20,000 troops attacked Dou Jiande's camp.
Dou Jiande had 20,000 soldiers and horses in front to fight against Luo Yi, Luo Yi's army was well-equipped, Dou Jiande's army was not well armored, and the equipment was very different from that of the Zhuozhou army, and the quality of the soldiers was even worse than Luo Yi's army.
When the two armies did not fight for a long time, Dou Jiande's army fled without defeat, and Luo Yi waved his army to cover the killing until near Dou Jiande's camp.
Just when Luo Yi got carried away, the pursuers had already pursued to the vicinity of the trench outside Dou Jiande's camp, and at this time, Dou Jiande's army in ambush in the trench suddenly rushed out of the trench and bravely entered Luo Yi's pursuers.
This time it was chaotic, Dou Jiande's ambush soldiers rushed out and strangled Luo Yi's army, and tens of thousands of troops started a melee.
The timing was just right, Dou Jiande took advantage of the situation to send a large army forward and join the ranks of the army that hunted Luo Yi. And Luo Yi's army and Dou Jiande's army were strangled together, and it was difficult to get out of the battlefield for a while.
In this battle, almost all of Dou Jiande's 200,000 troops were dispatched.
Luo Yi also has 20,000 troops, although they are well-equipped, but unfortunately the number of troops is too small.
Although Dou Jiande's army is a rabble, and its equipment and quality are not as good as Luo Yi's army, there are more ants that bite and kill elephants.
As the number of Dou Jiande's army continued to increase, the balance had been tilting towards Dou Jiande's army, and Luo Yi's army was quickly overwhelmed by Dou Jiande's army.
The sound of killing on the battlefield shook the sky, Dou Jiande's army was almost three or five people against one, how could Luo Yi's 20,000 troops withstand it, the outcome of the war was self-evident.
Luo Yi's army scattered and fled, and Dou Jiande waved his army to cover up and kill, and went straight to Zhuozhou City.
At the end of the battle, Luo Yi was nowhere to be found.
Dou Jiande defeated Luo Yi in a battle, and his confidence skyrocketed, and now he doesn't have to worry about the Jiangnan Army anymore, the channel in the rear has been opened, and even if he can't beat the Jiangnan Army, he can retreat.
Dou Jiande, who entered Zhuozhou City, was still worried about the movements of the Jiangnan Army after all, so he hurriedly sent people to continue to investigate the movements of the Jiangnan Army to prevent them from suddenly attacking Hebei.
On the morning of the first day, Dou Jiande was just about to go out to see Zhuozhou City, but he heard a report from the soldiers.
"Report, it's not good."
"What's the nonsense, what's the big thing? Speak slowly and clearly. ”
"King Baoxia, the banner of the Jiangnan Army was found on the Great Wall."
What the? How can there be the flag of the Jiangnan Army on the Great Wall, it is simply nonsense. (To be continued)
