Chapter 464: The Prologue Begins
On the morning of June 12, Yang Xuangan led the army to leave the Yanshi, and the water 6 advanced, killing the eastern capital with great momentum.
Henan Zanwu Pei Hongce retreated decisively and approached the eastern capital Beiguo, while Henan Ling Daxi did not dare to withdraw to the eastern capital with good intentions, so he could only join Pei Hongce and join forces to resist the strong enemy.
The eastern capital was very angry at their fear of not fighting, and Yang Tong, the king of Yue, issued a harsh command that they must delay Yang Xuangan's advance in order to help more people outside the city withdraw into the city.
Pei Hongce was helpless, stopped at Bai Sima Ban in the east of the city, and used the terrain advantage to set up a formation to block the attack, while Da Xi's goodwill stopped at the Hanwang Temple in the east of the city, and defended according to the danger.
In the afternoon, Yang Jishan and Gu Jue led the selection of the front army from the 6th road to the Hanwang Temple, the two sides were tense, and the battle was about to touch, at this moment, Da Xi's well-meaning subordinates suddenly defected, and all surrendered to Yang Xuangan, and the unprepared Da Xi good-natured wolf was unbearable, and fled.
Pei Hongce was isolated in the east of the city, facing Yang Xuangan's army alone, there was a strong enemy in front of him, and there was no reinforcement in the back, so he urgently wrote to Yang Tong, the king of Yue, detailing the battle situation in the east of the city, and asked to withdraw to Beiguo to hold on.
However, at this moment, the situation faced by Yang Tong, the king of Yue, is far more critical than Pei Hongce.
In the early morning of the 12th, Li Mi, Li Fengyun, Han Xiangguo, and Han Shige each led a large army, under the cover of night, and at the same time crossed Luoshui to the north, and launched a full-line attack on Li Hun, the general of the Right Xiaowei, who had just withdrawn to the front line of Xiyuan.
Li Hun was caught off guard, although Li Fengyun had already told him that he was going to force Luoshui after the early hours of the morning, but he did not remind him to attack in an all-out way, and to tear apart the defense line of the Weifu army from the direction of Jicuichi, so Li Hun was negligent in taking precautions, and it was not until Zhu Yingyang frequently reported that the defense line was continuously broken, and he realized that Li Fengyun had finally shown his sharp "fangs" and was about to attack the imperial city with Yang Xuangan.
Li Hun has his own "bottom line", this "bottom line" is that the imperial city cannot be lost, this is also the compromise he reached with Yang Gongren before, Yang Gongren can command himself and the army under his command, he and his army are also willing to fight to hold the imperial city, but that's all, the premise of the cooperation between the two is that the king of Qi does not enter the eastern capital, if Yang Gongren gives up the imperial city, gives up the entire eastern capital, if the king of Qi enters the eastern capital, the imperial war will explode, and the two will lose the basis for cooperation. This is where Yang Gongren has the confidence to hold the imperial city, since he can hold the imperial city, of course he will do his best to prevent the king of Qi and the acting king from entering the battlefield of the Eastern Capital.
Li Hun's "bottom line" is also the basis for cooperation with Li Fengyun, according to the agreement, Li Fengyun's goal is the Eastern Capital Waiguo, so the real goal of his "fangs" at this moment should not be the imperial city, but to pull Yang Xuangan to the battlefield of the imperial city, so that Yang Xuangan and Yang Dong, the king of Yue, can compete with each other, so that his fishermen can benefit, that is to say, Li Fengyun's real goal is Waiguo, which is the wealth of the three major cities of Waiguo. Li Fengyun went to great lengths to kill the Eastern Capital, it was impossible just to help Yang Xuangan hold on to the Eastern Capital battlefield for a longer time, and there was definitely a purpose to plunder the wealth of the Eastern Capital, which is conceivable.
Under the frequent urgency of Zhuyingyang, Li Hun finally came up with a decision, once again contracted the defense, concentrated the main force on the first line of Jicuichi, and made every effort to block the rebels on the north and south embankments of Jicuichi, and at the same time guarded Cijian Road with a partial division, and intercepted the rebels with the outer fortresses of Baihumen and Jianguomen.
In the morning, Han Xiangguo's troops confronted the Weifu army on the front line of Cijian and Fanghuayuan in the west of the city; Li Mi and Han Shige competed with the Weifu army outside the White Tiger Gate and Jianguo Gate in the south of the city; Li Fengyun commanded the elite of his headquarters to launch a fierce attack on the north and south embankments of Jicui Pond.
The north embankment of Jicui Pond leads directly to the imperial city, the south embankment (Yuebei) and Nanguo are separated by a wall, from the early morning, the earth-shattering killing sound is from far and near, always echoing in the sky above the eastern capital, the atmosphere is unprecedentedly tense.
The citizens of the eastern capital hid at home and trembled, while the refugees who had fled from outside the city stood helplessly in the streets in fear, and the aristocratic bureaucrats tried their best to escape into the imperial city, which was already overcrowded and had to be closed early by noon. At this moment, the city gates in the south, north, and west directions of the eastern capital have been closed, and only the Shangchun Gate and Jianyang Gate in the east are still wide open, and the refugees who have retreated from the eastern front have entered Beiguo and Nanguo respectively. In the afternoon, Da Xi defeated the Hanwang Temple with good intentions, and Nanguo directly faced the attack of the rebels, so the Jianyang Gate was also closed, leaving the Shangchun Gate of Beiguo still wide open, and the garrison of Shangchun Gate was Pei Hongce, if Pei Hongce was defeated and retreated, the entire Eastern Capital would also fall into the siege of the rebels.
In the afternoon, Zhen Baoche, Xu Shisan, Lu Xingxing, Guo Ming, Xia Houzhe and other five directors and deputy directors coincidentally found Li Fengyun.
The battle of Jicuichi was too fierce, and the garrison took out the real ability and swore not to retreat, so that the losses of the alliance army were great, but fortunately, the battlefield was very narrow, although the north and south embankments were several miles long, but the width was limited, and there were not many soldiers who could be accommodated. The garrison can't retreat anymore, and if it retreats, it will lose its head, so regardless of losses, fight to the death, and the goal of the alliance army is not the imperial city, nor the garrison, why fight like this at any cost? It's not necessary at all, several heroes are very confused, so they came together to find out Li Fengyun's true thoughts.
"So-and-so must come up with the true strength of the alliance." Li Fengyun explained, "Although we can't control the situation in the Eastern Capital, we must at least influence Yang Xuangan's decision-making and control our own destiny, and to achieve this step, we must show our strength, so that Yang Xuangan is jealous, dare not act arbitrarily, dare not have the heart of annexation, and dare not play conspiracy, only in this way can we grasp the initiative and advance and retreat freely." ”
The law of the jungle eats the strong, this reason is very simple, it is impossible for lions and sheep to be brothers, the strength of the alliance is not enough, Yang Xuangan naturally will not treat Li Fengyun equally, let alone be swayed by Li Fengyun, so for the future of the alliance, Li Fengyun has made a bloody investment this time, bringing all the elites of the alliance to the battlefield of the Eastern Capital, swearing to fight to the death, and gambling with all his might.
Several handsomes disagreed. Li Fengyun's reason makes sense, but it is obviously not sufficient, with Li Fengyun's character, he will never do this kind of thing to lose money and make money, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is not a bad thing, and sometimes the strength is hidden in the shadows but can play an unexpected role.
"Ming Gong, this is the Eastern Capital, and it is the Jingshi." Lu Xingxing showed a smiling face, deliberately accentuated his tone, and directly tested.
Li Fengyun nodded with a smile, and said with a pun, "Since we have come all the way and paid a huge price, of course we must gain something, and we can't make wedding clothes for others for no reason." ”
The heroes looked at each other and smiled, understanding. Sure enough, Li Fengyun's goal is Waiguo, the wealth of Waiguo, of course, the goal is very good, but if you want to achieve it, you still need to work hard. This is the eastern capital, a capital division, not an ordinary town dock fort.
"A certain thief who does all kinds of evil, not a bodhisattva who purifies all sentient beings." Guo Ming was excited, and viciously made a footnote to Li Fengyun's words.
"Ming Gong, the sound of the east and the west?" Zhen Baoche asked.
If the target is Waiguo, then the main target of attack is Nanguo, and the main attack location is the South Embankment of Jicuichi, and the main force is used to fight the moon, which is more conducive to the alliance to tear a gap from the strong Nanguo defense line. It's just that the alliance can think of it, and the eastern capital will also think that the garrison will also concentrate the main force in Yuebei, not only defending the imperial city, but also taking into account the southern Guo, so Zhen Baoche built a sound to attack the east and west, and the alliance feigned to attack the north embankment with all the main forces, making a false impression of attacking the imperial city head-on, forcing the garrison to transfer the main force to the north embankment of Jicuichi, the south line of Fanghuayuan, and even the north bank of the Huangdao Canal, so as to give the alliance a chance to capture the southern Guo Chuangzào.
"I believe in your wisdom." Li Fengyun said with a smile, "How to fight the Eastern Capital War, you will discuss it together, and XX's energy should be put on the outside of the battlefield, not only to use this war to loot the wealth of the Eastern Capital, but also to ensure that we can safely withdraw from the Eastern Capital with this wealth, if XX cannot complete this goal, then we will be wiped out under the Eastern Capital, and we will be buried for Yang Xuangan in vain." ”
The heroes agreed with a bang.
Soon, the heroes came up with an attack strategy, and Lu Xingxing's hussars and the second and fourth armies of the alliance led by Xiahou Zhe attacked Yuebei; Zhen Baoche's Tiger Ben Army and Guo Ming's 1st, 3rd, and 5th Armies of the Alliance, and Niu Jinda's 23rd Army of the Alliance attacked the North Embankment of Jicuichi, and then asked Han Xiangguo to lead the main force of Song Yuyi's army to attack Fanghuayuan and cooperate with the attack from the flank of the battlefield. In addition, Sima Yuan'an was asked to immediately collect a group of ships, carry a part of Xu Shisan's Fengyun army, and cooperate with the main force to attack the North Embankment from the water surface of Jicui Pond. This formed a three-sided attack, which was enough to create a situation of storming the imperial city.
Later in the afternoon, the battle of the north embankment of Jicui Pond became more and more intense, and the main force of the Song Yu Yi army led by Han Xiangguo quickly broke through the west defense line of Fanghua Garden, and rushed to the hinterland of Fanghua Garden.
The imperial city received the news, anxious, although Li Hun's defense was very tenacious, and Li Hun also made a guarantee to the king of Yue, with his own head to ensure the safety of the western front of the imperial city, but the imperial city is not only dangerous on the western front, but also dangerous on the eastern front, Yang Xuangan's army is approaching Shangchun Gate, and the rebels have actually formed a flanking attack on the imperial city, so Yang Gongren and Fan Zigai and others decided to break through each and destroy the rebels' two-way flank attack after an emergency military discussion.
In the middle of the night, the order of Yang Tong, the king of Yue, was sent to Pei Hongce, and the king of Yue asked him to hold on to Bai Sima Ban at any cost, at least for two days, to give the garrison time to defeat the rebels on the battlefield of Jicuichi on the Western Front.
Also in the middle of the night, on the bank of Hongchi, in Yang Xuangan's camp, Li Mi appeared, dusty and high-spirited.
About half an hour later, Yang Xuanting and Hu Shitan also arrived at the camp. After they withdrew from Linqingguan, they took a boat from the direction of Yanjin to the west, and rushed to Luokoucang day and night.
The main members of the mutiny alliance gathered again, and this time the shape was different, everyone's mentality was different, and more importantly, many crucial decisions had to be made, and there was no time to delay.
