The news of the defeat of Luo Shixin's vanguard army immediately spread to the base camp of the Zhao army, which was marching.
Li Shimin led 500 Xuanjia army to ambush 3,000 Zhao army cavalry, which surprised the Zhao army, and when sweeping Hebei, the Zhao army broke Dou Jiande and Liu Heimin, and fought all the way downwind, but now the outpost battle was defeated, but it was unacceptable to the general of the Zhao army, especially the defeat of the Tang army, which was far inferior to his own Tang army.
When Luo Shixin, the vanguard and deputy vanguard, came to the camp together, they were all in a worried mood. Qi Ashu was injured, but it was okay, but Luo Shixin couldn't help but lose face when he saw that he walked into the big tent safe and sound.
After entering the big tent, he immediately felt the eyes of Wen Chen, the general of the Zhao army sitting on the left and right, looking at him, Luo Shixin felt very uncomfortable, but he hugged his fists and said: "The sin will see Your Majesty." ”
Luo Shixin did not bow down, according to the etiquette of Da Zhao, there are soldiers in armor, generals, seeing the emperor, and officials can not worship.
Li Chongjiu said: "You will tell me about the battle of Bishui, as well as your colleagues. ”
Luo Shixin nodded, and said clearly.
Zhao Quanting, the general on the side, said: "General Luo, since the beggar army master was not ambushed, and was attacked by the Tang army, it is really unbelievable. ”
"Being defeated by inferior soldiers and horses does not mean that their soldiers are incompetent."
"Although my Zhao army can't eat the defeat, but the defeat is so humiliating, hmph, I think it is necessary to withdraw the formation."
A few cold voices said, Luo Shixin glared at the man angrily when he heard this, and said angrily: "If you lose a battle, you have to fight and scold, and you have nothing to say, but the soldiers under a certain command are all good men, but you can't insult them." They did their part. ”
Hearing Luo Shixin say this, the beggar who was still injured on the side also said: "Your Majesty, this battle is the responsibility of the last general, but I have the cavalry of the Xi Division, but none of them are afraid of death." If you want to blame and punish, you should come at me alone. ”
Li Chongjiu listened to the words of the two generals, and immediately said: "I heard that the Tang cavalry you encountered is the Xuanjia Army?" ”
Luo Shixin said: "Our army and the Tang army are fighting in a dignified manner, so we can see clearly that this Tang army cavalry." Horse warfare is extremely skillful, but not necessarily all of them are wearing Xuanjia, some of their horses have negative armor, and some do not have armor, and they dare not judge that they are the elite Xuanjia Army of the Tang Army. ”
Xue Wanshu said to Li Chongjiu: "This is similar to the information of our army stepping on the White Army and the Detailed Meeting, and the Xuanjia Army is just a title." But not all of the soldiers wore armor. ”
"Xuanjia Army!"
General Zhao Jun whispered, and Xue Wan said on the side: "As for the strength of the Xuanjia Army, you have all seen in the documents just now, this is the elite of Li Tang's selection of Turkic, Xianbei, and Li family's troops, as well as the elite of the Tang Army's Guanzhong Army. ”
All the generals nodded when they heard this.
Zhang Xuansu said on the side: "If there is a cloud in the art of war, you will not be able to anticipate the enemy." With a small number of people, with a weak attack on the strong, the soldiers have no choice to say the north. Li Shimin is under Luoyang Weike, if he wants to rush to the aid of the Tiger Prison, he must choose elite soldiers and strong generals, not only to choose a front from the army, but also to calculate unintentionally, Weichen thought that Luo Shixin. The two generals of Qi Ashu have really tried their best. ”
After Zhang Xuansu finished speaking, a few more people pleaded for Luo Shixin, hoping to exonerate them.
Li Chongjiu looked at Luo Shixin and begged for a technique: "No matter what Xuanjia is not a Xuanjia army, our army and the Tang army fought in the first battle, and the two of them were defeated first, which broke the spirit of our army. The order was passed down, and Luo Shixin was removed from the post of Ying Yanglang general, and Qi Ashu was also removed from the post of military master, and each was demoted by one level. Guilty of meritorious service. ”
Luo Shixin and Qi Ashu did not show the slightest disbelief on their faces, and they hugged their fists together and said, "No, Your Majesty." ”
When the generals heard that Li Chongjiu still severely punished the two generals, they couldn't help but feel sorry, and they were silent in the tent at the moment.
Wei Zheng said: "Our army lost the first battle, I don't know how to break the enemy if we want to attack the tiger prison below?" ”
Xue Wan said: "I think the Tang army is not boring, Li Shimin is the best at cutting off people's grain routes, if he takes our army to stand under the Tiger Prison City, and sends cavalry to attack the rear grain roads of our army, so our army does not want to draw troops to guard the rear grain routes, so that with such a division of troops, our strength to attack the Tiger Prison will be insufficient." ”
Ji Chuan said: "From the current point of view, in the Tiger Prison Pass, in addition to Li Shimin's 3,500 elite cavalry, there are also thousands of men and horses of Chai Shao and Li Junxian, and there should be 10,000 Tang troops in total. If you want to break through the tiger prison before Luoyang is lost, you must send at least 30,000 to 50,000. ”
After listening to Xue Wanshu and Ji Chuan's words, Xue Wanche smiled slightly: "Don't forget jì, we still have fire oil bombs, which have a great effect on siege." ”
Li Chongjiu's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't speak.
On the Yumen Ferry at the north gate of the Tiger Prison Pass, dozens of Tang Army ships with white sails were slowly approaching the Yumen Ferry.
On the deck of the ship, Huang Junhan, the head of the Huaizhou Road march of the Tang Army, stood on the battleship with his arms folded on his chest. The river wind was blowing, and Huang Junhan's face was calm, looking at the Tiger Prison City not far away.
As one of the eight governors of the Tang Army in Luoyang this time, Huang Junhan was already a man of the year before he entered Li Tang.
When Yang Guang was still in power, Huang Junhan was just a prison official in the county town of Dongjun, and at that time, the county was convicted and should be beheaded. At that time, Huang Junhan, who was a prison official, saw that he was brave, he was a great man, and Yushi sneaked in in the middle of the night and said: "The time and personnel are not yet known, how can you die in prison?" ”
The other party replied: "Now you are like a pig in a prison, and you are the only one who lives and dies." ”
At that moment, Huang Junhan released the other party, went into the grass with him, and died in Wagang, Dongjun, and became a thief. The person Huang Junhan saved was Zhai Rang, the big boss of Wagangzhai. After Zhai Rang was killed by Li Mi, Huang Junhan, who was good friends with Zhai Rang, was squeezed out for Li Mi, and led the army in the town, Li Mi was defeated by Wang Shichong after Huang Junhan surrendered to Tang and was named the governor of Huaizhou.
This time to attack Wang Shichong, Huang Junhan sent troops from Heyin, led the boat division to attack back to Luocheng, returned to Luocheng City, captured the Zheng army general Daxi Shanding, and burned the Heyang South Bridge, cut off the connection between Luoyang and Hebei, and made great contributions.
Now after Li Shimin led his army to garrison the Tiger Pass, he ordered Huang Junhan to lead his naval army down the river to transport grain and grass for the Tiger Pass.
Huang Junhan's Tang Army Naval Division arrived outside the Tiger Prison Pass, and Li Shimin personally met him on the shore.
Huang Junhan immediately saluted and said, "See His Royal Highness King Qin!" ”
Li Shimin took Huang Junhan's hand and said with a hearty smile: "There is the army of Mr. Huang, and the tiger is safe." ”
Huang Junhan lowered his head and hugged his fists and said: "King Qin has a good reputation, I heard that King Qin defeated the Zhao army in a battle, and I will congratulate you at the end." ”
When Li Shimin heard this, he put away his smile and said solemnly: "It's just a small victory, the Zhao army has 100,000 troops in the Tiger Prison Pass, and the display is very powerful, but it is not easy to defeat." ”
Huang Junhan said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the two armies are facing each other, focusing on the grain road, between me, the front line of the Zhao army will supply grain, and it will be according to Liyang Cang, if I lead the water army to cut off the connection between Henan and Hebei, the Zhao army will be defeated." ”
As soon as Huang Junhan finished speaking, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui next to him all laughed.
Huang Junhan didn't lose his fist because the other party laughed, and said: "His Royal Highness King Qin, if what the last general said is wrong, please give me some advice." ”
Li Shimin said with a smile: "It's not that it's wrong, Xuanling and they don't laugh at him, but you and I have the same opinion!" ”
Huang Junhan heard this, and hurriedly lowered his head and said, "The last general hit by mistake." ”
Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "You don't have to be too humble, now Gu is going to rely on your navy, and expect you to win this battle for Gu, I heard that the Zhao army has thousands of warships, can you be sure of winning?" ”
Huang Junhan said proudly: "I started robbing boats in Wagang, and there is no one on the Yellow River, Your Highness, although there are not many dozens of warships under the command of the last general, they are all sons and daughters who have followed for many years and are good at water warfare, and the captain Zhang Yasha is even more courageous." ”
Li Shimin nodded and said, "But Zhang Yasha, who captured Xi Shanding?" ”
"Exactly, Yaksha is just his nickname, it is said that he is brave and good at fighting, and over time his real name is forgotten, His Royal Highness the King of Qin, although there are many ships and ships of Zhao, but first, the Hebei army is longer than the bow and horse, and shorter than the water war, when Cao Cao conquered Eastern Wu, the 200,000 army was defeated by the water and soil is an example, and the second is mostly merchant ships, cargo ships, passenger ships rebuilt, and the sailors are mostly hired by the people, without a battle formation, and by no means the opponent of my subordinates."
Li Shimin heard Huang Junhan say this, and looked at Fang Xuanling with a happy face, Du Ruhui said: "Xuanling, Keming, what do you think of what Mr. Huang said?" ”
Du Ruhui said: "Manager Huang's eyes are like torches, and he can see through the pros and cons of the two armies at a glance, such a general, can King Qin still do without it?" ”
Li Shimin laughed and said: "Keming's words are exactly what I want, Mr. Huang lives you alone......"
While he was talking, a captain suddenly announced on the Tiger Prison Pass: "His Royal Highness King Qin, the Zhao army fleet has appeared downstream of the Tiger Prison Pass!" ”
Huang Junhan was surprised: "Zhao Jun actually took the initiative to seek war? ”
Li Shimin led everyone to the north lookout platform of the Tiger Prison Pass, but saw that the Yellow River was black and oppressive, and it was covered with Zhao warships.
Du Ruyan said disgracefully: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin, how can the fleet of the Zhao army have a five-tooth ship, and there are as many as two, this is the use of Yang Sugong to conquer Sui back then!" ”
Li Shimin didn't say a word, the details of this Zhao army's fleet were obviously much beyond his expectations, he couldn't figure it out, Hebei was not Jiangnan, but Li Chongjiu had such a large-scale naval army.
On the side of the Zhao fleet, the two five-tooth ships were eye-catching.
On each Wuya ship, 500 Zhao troops operated the ship, and the Wuya ship could accommodate 800 soldiers.
Cheng Mingzhen, the head of the Zhao Army's navy, stood proudly on the ship of the Wuya ship, and on the left and right were Zhou Zhou, the commander of the Zhao Army's navy, Zhao Xin, the county guard of Donglai County, and Zhou Zuojiang of the Ministry of Industry.
Cheng Mingzhen was demoted from the Xia army to a general and was promoted by Li Chongjiu to the head of the navy, which was the time when his spirit was flying, and there were more than 200 warships behind him, of which more than 100 were Zhou Zhou's efforts for a year to repair the sea ships of the Sui crossing the sea to conquer the Liao army in Donglai County.
This time, this fleet was transferred by Li Chongjiu for the purpose of attacking Tang!
