493 Wang Bo went west
As Su You expected, early the next morning, he received the news from the scouts that Dou Jiande's army had withdrawn from Caged Fire City overnight, and then passed through Gu'an without entering
After the defeat of Dou Jiande's army in Youzhou, he had become a frightened bird, and he gave up Wei Dao'er and left the battlefield alone.
According to the strategy that had been formulated long ago, Su You Ming went to take over Caged Fire City and Gu'an, and arranged twenty artillery pieces in each of these two cities.
After doing these tasks, three days have passed, and in these three days, Zhang Long has led an army of 5,000 people, including 1,000 heavy cavalry, to Youzhou.
Earlier, Zhang Long and Wei Ting Wang Qi led more than 10,000 troops from Liaodong City to attack Changli County, which broke after holding out for five days, and Zhang Long took more than 3,000 prisoners.
According to Su You's request, Zhang Long arranged more than half of the auxiliary soldiers led by himself to the Fuxin coal mine, and then took over Xuansu County while training
In just one month, Zhang Long's soldiers expanded to 10,000, and the combat effectiveness of these soldiers was uneven, but fortunately, it would not be too much of a problem to leave 3,000 defenders in each city.
After Zhang Long arrived in Youzhou, Li Jing also led the soldiers back; But it was because Wei Dao'er learned the news of Dou Jiande's retreat that he was worried that he would copy his own back road, so he naturally retreated to Shanggu.
The meeting between Su You and Li Jing has some intimacy, but now the chaos is obviously not suitable for children.
Su You happily gave Li Jing the title of generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and then worked out a plan with Luo Yi, Pei Shiju and others to attack Dou Jiande's territory, as for the next plan, the next plan is to eliminate Wei Dao'er, and the troops will go out to seize the territory of Shanxi.
Su You's current goal is still the Xia Kingdom established by Dou Jiande.
In fact, it was not only Su You who had ambitions for Dou Jiande's territory, but Wei Dao'er of Shanggu County and Wang Bo of Bohai County also had ambitions for Xia State.
Just as the combined forces of Dou Jiande and Wei Dao'er marched towards Youzhou, Wang Bo also began plans for expansion.
Wang Bo was not the first rebel in the troubled era of the late Sui Dynasty, but he can be regarded as an iconic figure among the peasant leaders, who first raised troops in Changbai Mountain (Changbai Mountain in Shandong), and later was active in the Beihai and Qi counties, and was suppressed by Zhang Xutuo from expanding to the southeast.
After Zhang Xutuo received the order to attack Wagang, Yang Shanhui took over his work, and then drove Wang Bo's rebellious army all the way to Bohai County.
After more than half a year of dormancy, Wang Bo's army reached 30,000, which was not comparable with the fifteenth army at his peak, but because Su You sent people to the Bohai coastal area to pick up a large number of people after the New Year, Wang Bo's army could not continue to develop.
This also made Wang Bo realize that Bohai really couldn't stay, obviously without any doubt.
To the south of the Bohai Sea is the Yellow River, to the east is the sea, and in the other two directions are Pingyuan County and Hejian County, both of which belong to Dou Jiande's territory.
After hearing that the combined army of Dou Jiande and Wei Dao'er was heading north to Youzhou, Wang Bo decisively led his army to attack Pingchang City in Pingyuan County.
After the gates of Pyeongchang were opened, heroes from all walks of life poured into the city, plundering and doing everything.
Most of these people were Wang Bo's people, and there were also vassals along the way, Wang Bo's orders could not be passed on at all, and even his own soldiers joined the carnival.
Over the next two days, Pyeongchang City turned into a living hell.
Most of the city's men were killed, and the old men and children did not escape the thieves' swords, and only the women were still alive, and they became the spoils of the thieves.
Even the great clans who opened the door and let the thieves into the city did not escape this encounter, and although there were signs hanging in front of their mansions, Wang Bo also ordered that they were not allowed to enter the marked mansions.
But a thief is a thief, how good can you hope they can do?
Anyone who lures a wolf into the house should have this in mind in advance!
The burning and plundering caused Wang Bo's army to be delayed in Pyeongchang City for two days, and it took another two days to gather the troops, and when they set out as a whole army to attack Pingyuan County, reinforcements from Pingyuan County arrived.
Seeing that there was an enemy army blocking ahead, Wang Bo did not order the whole army to attack in a hurry, but retreated several miles back and set up camp on a small hillside.
The front is the only way to the plain county, and if they want to occupy the plain county, they must first defeat the army blocking the road in front of them, at this time.
After some investigation, Wang Bo knew that the enemy army who came to block him would be Gao Huaiyi; Wang Bo knew that as long as he defeated Gao Huaiyi, Pingyuan County would be at his fingertips!
Wang Bo was a steady person, and he also knew that Dou Jiande had brought most of his soldiers to attack Youzhou, so he was not too worried about what threat the enemy in front of him would bring to him.
In fact, the good news soon came back that the enemy was only in his early 10,000s, which was nothing compared to the 50,000 on his side.
What makes Wang Bo feel even more funny is that Gao Huaiyi actually set up camp behind the river, is this going to break the boat?
Are these people who have not undergone strict training and who can only fight with the wind really not afraid of knives and guns?
Wang Bo was convinced that his army would be able to defeat the enemy in front of him and drive them all into the river.
Standing on horseback under the banner of Shuai, witnessing the army rushing towards the enemy formation all over the mountains and fields, Wang Bo was so convinced!
There was no formation to speak of, Wang Bo's people only knew how to rush forward to kill, and they rushed towards each other like a mountain of mountains.
The problem is that Dou Jian's German army seems to have a mature fighting style for a long time, and their arrangement at this time is no different from fighting the Youzhou army. - The same puts the most elite foot soldiers in the front line.
Although Wang Bo's army was numerous and the charge was fierce, it could not shake the opponent's line for a while, and their impact was like the waves crashing against a reef, and they could not break the reef, but they could only change their course.
Most of the Dou Jiande troops on the front line were wearing iron armor, and their weapons were exceptionally sharp, and the sharpness and hardness of Wang Bojun's weapons were far less than them.
The heroes couldn't stand the crowd, and after several impacts, the formation of Dou Jian's German army was gradually overwhelmed; But when Gao Huaiyi sent a new new force to come up, Wang Bojun's offensive was quickly suppressed.
Of course, Gao Huaiyi did not come here to exercise his soldiers' ability to resist fighting, while he used elite soldiers to resist the front line, he also arranged a large number of archers to constantly swing bows and arrows into the enemy's formation from the rear.
Although Wang Bo's side had a large number of people, not only did they have a large shield, but even their armor was very rudimentary.
When the enemy's bows and arrows fly from the sky, the rebel army really becomes a chaotic army; Coupled with the five hundred light cavalry secretly arranged by Gao Huaiyi to enter the battlefield from the side like heavy cavalry, Wang Bo's army began to retreat.
When we meet on a narrow road, retreating means collapsing.
Before Wang Bo's true elite joined the battlefield, the cannon fodder troops retreated and rushed into his elite.
Wang Bo is not as ruthless as Luo Yi, and in the face of the collapse of cannon fodder several times the elite, he was not ruthless, so Wang Bo could only be like Dou Jiande, first retreated to Pyeongchang, and then withdrew from Pyeongchang and retreated to Bohai
When Wang Bo invaded the plains, Zhai Rang inexplicably received a flying pigeon from Su You, which indicated that he had established a country, and asked Zhai Rang and others to prepare to surrender themselves and let Li Mi send troops to intercept Yu Wenhua
Regarding the news of Su You's founding of the country, Zhai Rang, Lu Zhongsu and others liked to hear it, but let Li Mi intercept Yu Wenhua and
Zhai Rang really couldn't understand it.
The news of Yu Wenhua and the killing of the monarch had not spread before, and Zhai Rang only knew it after seeing Su You's letter, but Yu Wenhua's destination was Chang'an, and his starting point was Jiangdu - could he fly over his head and directly enter the current Li Mi's territory?
Li Mi is now encamped in Kim Yong City, and he has been attacking the eastern capital day and night with little success, but that is not the point.
The point is that Li Mi is now in the west, Zhai Rang is in the east, and Yu Wenhua and wants to return to Chang'an will inevitably encounter himself, but why did Su You let Li Mi intercept him, instead of himself?
The reason Zhai Rang could think of was the confrontation between himself and Yang Shanhui.
Speaking of the confrontation with Yang Shanhui, Zhai Rang was a little ashamed, he and Yang Shanhui's strength was not much different, but he knew that his side's combat effectiveness was really not comparable to the other party.
If it weren't for the horns formed by his own camp and Jindi Pass, it would be impossible to say that Yang Shan would have killed this side a long time ago, right?
The reason why Yang Shanhui has not moved may be because he does not want to defeat himself and face Li Mi's army, or maybe he has made some trouble with the imperial court, or maybe he is trying to preserve his strength for some political benefits
But as soon as Yang Guang dies, everything will be different.
When Yang Guang was unconscious, Yang Shanhui was still a powerful weapon that hoped to suppress the Wagang Army, no matter what the reason, Yang Shanhui could sway from side to side, and the military order was not accepted.
But now that Yu Wenhua is in power, Yang Shanhui obviously has to make a choice, which is related to who he should ask for food.
If Yang Shan will throw himself into the Eastern Capital, then he will inevitably have a big battle with Yu Wenhua, after all, Yu Wenhua and the Eastern Capital are currently incompatible.
If Yang Shan will throw himself into Yu Wenhua, he will be in danger, and he will definitely join forces with Yu Wenhua to attack him in order to show his loyalty, right?
Thinking of this, Zhai Rang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and finally understood why Su You would let Li Mi give up the Eastern Capital to intercept Yu Wenhua.
Perhaps, there is also a third possibility, that is, Yang Shanhui still does not know the news of Yu Culture and going north
Zhai let him think about it for a while, and finally passed the news of Su You to Li Mi without any speculation.
After receiving Zhai Rang's letter, Li Mi immediately ordered the soldiers to stop the attack on the eastern capital and began to analyze the current situation
The siege of the Eastern Capital has been so long, and Li Mi also knows that it is not easy to attack the Eastern Capital, and the siege of the Eastern Capital really takes him too much time; If he hadn't besieged the Eastern Capital, he might have gone south to the Yangtze River by this moment, right?
But is it really necessary to intercept Yu Wenhua?
There is no doubt that Yang Guang is Li Mi's biggest enemy, he has always wanted to put Yang Guang to death, and now Yu Wenhua has helped him fulfill his wish
Moreover, compared to intercepting Yu Wenhua and returning to Chang'an, it is more important to intercept Li Yuan's army, right?
