Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe defeat in the Battle of Pinggu meant that the door of Luoyang was wide open, and Yang Yidao's Dingzhou Central Group Army would be able to drive straight into Luoyang.
In fact, it is precisely like this, more than 100,000 people under Yang Yidao took a short rest and stepped into the Luoyang jurisdiction where no invading army had entered for hundreds of years, the capital was shaken, and the people's hearts were in turmoil.
Whether it is Tianqi or Shang Haibo, they did not expect that Xiang Ping would be defeated by Yang Yidao, and in such a short period of time, hundreds of thousands of troops disappeared, exposing Luoyang directly to the Dingzhou army, Tianqi even reprimanded, and punished Xiang Ping without the mind, and the top priority at the moment is to mobilize soldiers and horses to guard Luoyang.
The two battalions on the left and right of the capital urgently mobilized and went to the front.
Guo Fengxian, the general of the left battalion, led 50,000 troops to Fengtai, and the general of the right battalion Zhan Degang led 50,000 people to Longquan in a hurry. At the same time, an emergency conscription order was issued in Luoyang, and all men over the age of 15 and under the age of 60 were all enlisted in the army and prepared to guard Luoyang.
While doing a good job of defense, he also issued an order to King Qin to eight prefectures under the control of Luoyang, including Changzhou and Xuzhou, ordering the commanders of the eight states to urgently transfer troops to King Qinwang of Luoyang.
However, the wall fell down and everyone pushed, before the Dingzhou army came, these states were under the high-pressure situation of Luoyang, respectful, and now Xiangping 200,000 troops were destroyed, Zhou Tong Qu Yongjie was still in Pingzhou, struggling to resist Dingzhou Lu Dalin, Tianfeng Group, and the two battalions of the Beijing Division urgently requisitioned the front line, Luoyang, which was strong and strong in the past, was now empty, and the commanders of the states were not so obedient, except for Changzhou urgently mobilized 50,000 troops to Luoyang, the other seven states promised very happily on the surface, but then the conversation changed and asked for grain and grassUntil the end of April, Yang Yidao's Central Group Army completed the military deployment of Fengtai and Yangquan, and the soldiers and horses of these seven states were still within their jurisdiction.
Guo Fengxian, who rushed to Fengtai, took over Xiang Ping's military power, and in the face of the 50,000 remnants of the fighting spirit, Guo Fengxian did not hesitate to drive them back to Luoyang with Xiang Ping.
Xiang Ping's only merit in this battle was to prove the power of the Shenwei cannon to Guo Fengxian, Guo Fengxian gave up any idea of taking the initiative to attack after learning about the situation in detail, and the small Fengtai county town could not block the bombardment of the opponent's Shenwei cannon.
He did two jobs.
The first is to dig a trench with a depth of more than ten meters in the Fengtai guards, and there is no need to build any chest walls, and it will be easily crushed by the other party, he dug a shallow ditch of about half a meter after these deep ditches, and then dug out a hidden soldier hole in the ditch, and the soldiers hid in these shallow ditches to block the other party.
The second item was to dig an inland river that flowed into Fengtai, Yangquan, and Luoyang, and the river water would spread, turning the land in Fengtai into muddy and forming large and small wetlands, depressions, and pools, so as to limit the attack of the opposing cavalry.
Guo Fengxian did not seek to defeat the enemy, he knew that with his current strength, this was simply an impossible task, and all he wanted was to delay the enemy's attack as much as possible and delay the opponent's pace, so as to gain time for Luoyang to mobilize reinforcements.
And in Yangquan, Zhan Degang is doing the same work at the same time.
It must be said that the strategy adopted by these two generals is precisely on the soft threat of the Dingzhou army, whether it is the Dingzhou cavalry or the largest killer weapon in Dingzhou, the Shenwei cannon, in the face of such a geographical situation, they have to stop, the cavalry needless to say, in such a wetland, the depression is all over the place can not run up the speed at all, and the cavalry without speed will become a live target for the defensive army, and the Shenwei cannon, although it has been improved, the weight has been greatly reduced, but there is still more than a thousand pounds of weight, in such a ground, As soon as the gun carriage left, it would sink deep into the mud, and it would take great effort to push him out, and the speed of the attack would inevitably slow down.
"Guo Fengxian, Zhan Degang is a general!" Xiao Yuanshan said to Yang Yidao, "Both of them have fought with Li Laoguo and my uncle in the past, and they have extremely rich combat experience, Guo Fengxian has a fiery temperament, straightforwardness, and is not afraid of the powerful, he once served as the deputy general of the Luoyang garrison, but he offended the nobles because he whipped an officer who violated discipline in the army, hehe, by the way, this officer is a royal family, and he was deprived of his position as a general, and he has been idle for many years, this time it seems that the apocalypse is unavailable, and finally remembered him, this person should not be taken lightly." ”
"And Zhan Degang, but his temperament is the opposite of Guo Fengxian, very feminine, no one can be offended, anyone can be stammered, but because of this, no one is at ease, whether it is under Li Guogong, or later our Xiao clan was in power, and the Apocalypse was reinstated, Zhan Degang did not have the opportunity to lead an army alone, I didn't expect this time, and finally came out of the mountain.
"Of course such a guy is not likable!" Yang Yidao said with a smile.
Xiao Yuanshan said: "Although this person's temperament is not pleasant, but there is still a set of leading the army to fight, you see that this time he and Guo Fengxian are stationed in two places, but the measures taken to counter us are the same, you can see this person's talent in combat, they have never fought with us, and they can find out the flaws of our army only by experience, which really cannot be underestimated." It seems that this time, Apocalypse is completely disappointed in the generals of the royal family, Xiang Ping was defeated, but he almost lost Apocalypse's underwear. ”
Yang Yidao laughed, "Although we haven't completely lost, we have already seen the color of his underwear, and if we work harder, we can peel him off." Well, the opponent is difficult, and we don't have to rush, play steadily and steadily, and eat away at their defense zone in one step. ”
"But in this way, we will lose the opportunity to give Luoyang Thunder a blow!" Xiao Yuanshan was a little worried, "There are still many states controlled by Luoyang, if he is allowed to calmly mobilize the army, we are still very dangerous." ”
Yang Yidao said with a smile: "The wall is down and everyone pushes it, General Xiao, you see that we have been in the suburbs of Luoyang for almost a month, how many Qinwang troops have arrived in Luoyang, only Changzhou, and they are still far away from the outside of a hundred miles to look out, there are too many smart people in this world, seeing that Da Chu is already in the waning West Mountain, who is willing to work for him at this time, the work of the Supervision Yuan in these places is also fruitful, not only against many important generals, but also in these places The people have also organized a lot of guerrilla teams, which have been launched now, In order to contain their power, I don't think we have to worry about them. ”
"That's good!" Xiao Yuanshan said excitedly, "Although Guo Fengxian and Zhan Degang have a proper strategy, as long as they are powerless, we can eat them little by little." Forced them back to Luoyang. ”
"Yes, send them back to Luoyang, by the way, General Xiao, at the moment, since there is no way to take these two people for a while, the cavalry will not be used for the time being, we can use the cavalry to another use." Yang Yidao said slowly.
Xiao Yuanshan smiled: "Go to fight the Changzhou soldiers?" ”
"Yes, Fan Jian, the commander of Changzhou, is still very loyal to Da Chu, and he brought 50,000 soldiers and horses to King Qin, we might as well kill the chicken and show it to the monkeys, so that those guys who are still watching can see the truth that the acorns that come out are messed up first."
"It's not easy for the cavalry to run for a hundred miles!" Xiao Yuanshan said: "We only have less than 20,000 cavalry and the other party is shrinking in the camp, so it's not so easy to fight!" ”
Yang Yidao laughed, "General Xiao doesn't know, we have fought a lot in Dingzhou with this kind of hundred-mile raid on the enemy, and the Whirlwind Battalion is the leader among them, and their battalion name comes from this, the Changzhou army came from afar, how solid can the camp be if it lacks supplies?" And the Taiping army of the Changzhou army, how many times has it seen bloodshed, can it really fight? I was afraid that they would faint. ”
The two laughed, "So, the five thousand Youyan cavalry under my command will also follow General Jiang to get some light?" ”
Jiang Kui was extremely excited, and finally fished back to his old job, long-distance running, this kind of thing is his favorite thing to do, received Yang Yidao's military order, he immediately gathered the army, more than 100 places, can arrive in one night, just in the early morning to attack, that time, is the most lax time for people's alertness, but also when the opponent's defense is the most loose, when on the grassland, the barbarians did this, he also did this, both sides are familiar with this tactic, so it is more difficult to fight, but these Changzhou rookies? Jiang Kui is hot all over, grandma's, he can finally charge in person again, these two years, he has been suffocated! In order to go into battle shirtless at every turn, he was taught by Li Qing not once or twice, but the country is so defeated, his nature is difficult to change, Jiang Kui just can't change it, anyway, he doesn't want to be a general, he can be a general of the trough cavalry, that is also under a few people, above ten thousand, I love this tune.
The lord is about to become the emperor, and in the future, there is no battle to fight, sometimes when he is idle, Jiang Kui is even wondering, is he begging the lord to be the same as Wang Qinian, to get him overseas to charge into battle, across the lord of thousands of rivers and mountains, then if he goes into battle shirtless, even if the lord knows, he will not be able to eat the whip, and his ass will not be able to eat the board! Wang Qinian went to Zheng Zhiyuan's side, then he ran to Yin Ning's fleet, well, whether Yin Ning, or Li Wen, the commander of Yin Ning's fleet, would he dare to hit his own board? That's a good note!
"Xiao Tianhao, Xiao Tianyang reports to General Jiang!"
Jiang Kui frowned and looked at the two Xiao generals, "You guys are?" Looking at the opposing cavalry troops in the distance, "General Yang ordered you to follow me to attack together?" ”
"Yes, General Yang ordered us to attach General Jiang's wing tail!"
Jiang Kui waved his hand, "Since it is the general's order, I naturally have nothing to say, as long as you can keep up with my whirlwind battalion, hehe, I can talk ahead, if you can't keep up, you can't get oil and water when you go late, don't blame me!" ”
Xiao Tianhao, Xiao Tianyang glanced at each other, and said in his heart, you are a cavalry and I am also a cavalry, you have one soldier and two horses, and we are also one soldier and two horses, so there is a reason why you can't keep up? Qi Qi said: "General Jiang, rest assured, the Youyan army that attacked with us this time is all elite, and they will not hold the general back!" ”
Jiang Kui smiled, "That's good, that's good!" He flew on his horse, held his steel gun high, and shouted, "Sons, work!" With his legs between the belly of the horse, the war horse neighed and galloped out like an arrow from the string, and behind him, the cavalry of the Whirlwind Battalion followed one by one with a strange scream.
