The Weihe wharf is not far from the ancient city of Chang'an, less than ten miles apart, there was originally a Cao River connected with the Wei River, so that all kinds of materials transported through the Wei River can be continuously sent to Chang'an City, which is also the way of survival of the old city of Chang'an for thousands of years. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

However, since Yang Jian built a new Chang'an City in Longshouyuan, the ancient city of Chang'an was quickly abandoned, and the river was gradually blocked by silt, and it could no longer play the role of a transportation artery.

In the past two days, a large number of grain and grass materials have been transported to the Weihe wharf, and the wharf is piled up like a mountain, and the mule carts and ox carts levied by the coalition forces are not much, only more than 300 vehicles, and the transportation capacity is seriously insufficient, so they have to carry out transportation around the clock, but even so, the effect is still not ideal, and a large number of materials can not be transported into the warehouse in the old city in time, and can only be temporarily covered with oilcloth.

Nearly 3,000 soldiers were busy on the wharf, unloading grain from the big ships of the Weihe River and neatly stacking it on the open space, while mule carts lined up to carry grain supplies.

The coalition army left behind in the old city consisted of 10,000 people, and the main general was called Dugu Changfeng, the son of Dugu Sheng, the general of the Sui Dynasty's right guard, who was not a Dugu clan, but just a Dugu general.

At this time, Dugu Changfeng was on the dock to urge the army to unload the grain, after the grain was unloaded, the ship should immediately return to Fufeng County to transport siege weapons, which was also a mistake of the commander Dugu Huaide in the overall arrangement, he originally planned to ensure the supply of food for the army, and immediately started the transportation of large-scale siege weapons, but did not expect that the grain transportation was not smooth, the Weihe wharf was completely abandoned, and the big ships could not dock, they took two days to clear the wharf, and then began to unload the grain and military materials, but in this way, Time was lost.

It can't be said that Dugu Huaide did not do the right thing, after all, ensuring the food supply of the army is the top priority, the problem lies in the fact that the situation in the old city was not investigated in advance, everyone knows that the old city has the Wei River wharf and the Cao River, and transportation is not a problem, but when I arrived in the old city, I found that the Cao River had long been blocked by silt, and the river on the side of the wharf was also full of sludge, and the ships could not dock at all.

This is the evil result of not conducting a careful investigation in advance, but the responsibility cannot all be put on Dugu Huaide, he was also temporarily appointed as the head coach, and the army was very hasty, of course, since Dugu Huaide is the boss, then everyone can only be dissatisfied with him, even if the egg can pick out the bones.

Why can't the fleet transport food and siege equipment together, now the food has been able to support the army for a month, but there is not a single siege machine, this is the result of the commander's improper arrangement.

"General!"

A soldier rushed to report, "The patrol has spotted a cavalryman of unknown origin. ”

Dugu Changfeng was taken aback, could it be that Tang Jun is coming? He asked urgently, "How many are there?" ”

"The patrol said that more than 1,000 cavalry had been found, more than ten miles to the southeast."

Dugu Changfeng suddenly became nervous, he had already realized that the Tang army was going to attack the ancient city of Chang'an, and the patrol post found only a part, it could not be only more than a thousand cavalry, he was anxious, and immediately said to another partial general: "I want to return to the city immediately, you send your brother to patrol around, if you find the Tang army, immediately evacuate to the west, and retreat into the woods It will be safe." ”

Dugu Changfeng immediately led hundreds of soldiers to the ancient city ten miles away.

But just as Dugu Changfeng left, three rockets took off into the air, and the red flames streaked across the night sky. The 2,500 cavalry led by Li Shimin suddenly launched, they fought out of the woods, and the Tang cavalry rushed towards the dock like a flood that broke the embankment.

There were less than 4,000 allied soldiers on the wharf who were busy, and the Tang army that suddenly killed them was scattered, many soldiers could not escape, and they surrendered on their knees, and 2,000 soldiers turned around and ran towards the forest to the west, but only ran less than 100 steps, and were caught up by the cavalry led by Li Shimin.

"Cut off their retreat, those who surrender will not die, and those who resist will be killed!"

Hundreds of cavalry cut off the retreat of the coalition soldiers, dozens of soldiers who tried to break through were killed by the cavalry, and thousands of coalition troops could no longer organize effective resistance, and the morale of the army quickly collapsed, and they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Li Shimin left 1,000 cavalry to deal with the aftermath of the wharf, and he led 1,500 cavalry to kill the ancient city of Chang'an, ten miles away.

Qin Qiong led five hundred soldiers to sneak into the ancient city of Chang'an on the south city wall, they soon came to the vicinity of the north city, hidden in the darkness of the east city, the third watch time has arrived, the city suddenly sounded shouting and killing, the north city is the place where the coalition army gathers, there are thousands of soldiers guarding the city, the Tang army that suddenly killed made the soldiers defending the city a big chaos, they retreated to the city gate to resist.

At this time, Qin Qiong gave an order, and five hundred Tang troops killed hundreds of allied soldiers on the north of the city, and the soldiers who were dropping arrows down the city were caught off guard, and were immediately cut down and stabbed dozens of people, and the rest of the soldiers were so frightened that they turned around and ran into the darkness, Qin Qiong did not chase, he ordered the soldiers to control the city gate winch, and he led three hundred soldiers to kill the city.

The Tang army should be joined by the outside, the hundreds of allied soldiers at the city gate quickly collapsed, Wu Yunzhao ordered the cavalry to kill into the city, the battle outside the north city stopped, the Tang army began to encircle and suppress thousands of soldiers in the barracks in the city, at this moment, Dugu Changfeng rode a horse and galloped over, and heard him shout from afar: "There is an enemy situation, close the city gate quickly!" ”

Wu Yunzhao, who had just rushed into the city, rushed out with dozens of cavalry, Dugu Changfeng rushed to the city, and when he saw that the general opposite was not his subordinate, he couldn't help but be stunned, and asked Le Ma: "Who are you?" ”

Wu Yunzhao sneered, and with a swing of the Panlong golden gun, he urged the horse to gallop, and instantly killed Dugu Changfeng's eyes, "I'm your Grandpa Wu!" When the words arrived, a shot stabbed Dugu Changfeng's throat, Dugu Changfeng waved his knife to block outward, but he didn't touch the tip of the gun, he secretly screamed in his heart, his chest hurt, he lowered his head, only to see that the tip of the gun had pierced his chest, Wu Yunzhao stirred the tip of the gun, and Dugu Changfeng died immediately.

Dugu Changfeng's personal soldiers saw that the lord was going to be killed, their eyes were red, more than 100 people came to Wu Yunzhao together, Wu Yunzhao with one enemy hundred, brave and brave, and killed the enemy in a moment, at this time, hundreds of cavalry rushed out of the city to support, and the remaining dozens of soldiers saw that the situation was not good, and fled to the woods on both sides.

In the distance, Li Shimin rode a horse and hurriedly chased after him, asking, "Where is the enemy commander?" ”

Wu Yunzhao pointed a gun at the corpse on the ground, "I have been killed by the last general!" ”

"How's it going in the city?" Li Shimin asked again.

"There is basically no resistance."

"Very good, the herald will light the beacon fire and inform Chang'an!"

Li Shimin led 5,000 troops to attack the logistics center of the coalition army located in the ancient city of Chang'an, and the remaining 10,000 troops were all surrendered to the Tang army except for hundreds of people who were killed and fled, and the remaining more than 9,000 soldiers all surrendered to the Tang army, and Li Shimin seized nearly 300,000 stones of grain and dozens of cargo ships, and countless materials such as armor, weapons, and arrows.

Seizing the logistics and cutting off the food supply of the Guanlong coalition army was undoubtedly a slash at Dugu Huaide from the back of the neck, and the generals blamed each other and shirked their responsibilities, which plunged the coalition ranks into chaos, and at this time the coalition army began to split.

The Hou Mochen family, the Zhao family and the Sima family attacked together, accusing Dugu Huaide of losing logistics due to poor deployment, and demanding that Dugu Huaide immediately resign as coach, but the Yu family and the Yuan family both opposed Dugu Huaide's resignation, and they both believed that it was not his responsibility.

At night, the news of the loss of the logistical heavy ground had spread throughout the barracks, coupled with the lack of siege weapons of the coalition army, there was no hope of attacking Chang'an, the morale of the army began to waver, and the morale was very low, and the generals were still arguing about whether to retreat or not.

In this way, Li Shimin's 60,000-strong army has quietly surrounded the Guanlong coalition army from all sides, cutting off their retreat.
