Chapter 621: Hedong Attack and Defense
Hedong City is no longer the Hedong City of the year, the city wall is mottled, covered with blood, bows and arrows, broken knives, etc. are pierced on the city wall, these seem to illustrate the cruelty of the battle of Hedong, Su Dingfang's 50,000 army only has 20,000 fighters left, and these people are more or less injured, the remaining 30,000 soldiers are either killed in battle, or seriously injured and so on. Although Su Dingfang himself was not injured, he was mentally exhausted, his eyes were deep, the beard under his chin was already long, and his hair was also a little scorched, which was shot by a rocket. Rao is like this, Su Dingfang was devastated both physically and mentally, he was originally a young and strong young man, but in the past month, he has become a middle-aged man, and he can't see the original majestic appearance at all.
"General, I'm afraid the Turks are going to attack the city again." The adjutant general's arm had been broken, his face was pale, and there was no blood on his lips, but he was still holding his chest up, his eyes were like electricity, looking at Su Dingfang, he knew that the Su general in front of him had not rested for many days, but he was still standing on the city wall, commanding the battle.
"The Turkic attacks have been very crazy in the past few days, which can only show that the army of the imperial court is probably coming." Su Dingfang looked into the distance, a smile appeared on his chapped lips, and said, "Let the brothers hold on for a while longer, and the Turks will retreat." ”
"That's for sure." The adjutant general was just about to speak, suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked into the distance, only to see a black line appear in the distance, and then the earth shook, and countless cavalry roared, led by a fierce general, holding a long lance, young and heroic, and a big flag behind him, with the word "Luo" written on it. There was a burst of cheers from the city, and the person who could use this banner must be Luo Shixin, the fierce general of Guanzhong, or Li Xin's sworn brother, and at this time he finally led the army to kill him.
"Ashina Simo, kill the past, you must kill Luo Shixin." Qi Bi He Li's face was gloomy, Luo Shixin's army of 10,000 people attacked his cavalry every time he was in the most dangerous time, and Luo Shixin was extremely brave. The cavalry under his command is also the elite of Liangzhou, and even the cavalry of the Qiang people, Tuyuhun people and other tribes, these cavalry are brave and good at fighting, and it is not fatal to charge into battle, at this time the army attacked, the impact on the Turks was considerable, every time the cavalry attacked, the Turks had to divide a part of their forces to resist, if there were 100,000 troops before. I don't care about these 10,000 elites at all, but now it's different, my own soldiers and horses have lost too much, and 10,000 elites are enough to change the situation on the battlefield.
"Drink!" When Ashnasimo was attacking. Suddenly, there was a burst of shouting in the distance, and he turned to look, but saw black smoke rising in the distance, and soon saw a team of white cavalry appear in front of everyone.
"Li Shimin!"
"Li Shimin!"
Qi Bi He Li and Su Dingfang both saw the soldiers and horses in the distance. The faces of the two sides were different, and Qi He Li was surprised, and there was a hint of vigilance. But Su Dingfang had a gloomy face, no matter what, Li Shimin was the enemy of Guanzhong, and in the opinion of Qibi He Li, Li Shimin was neither friend nor enemy, especially in recent times, he clearly felt that he was fighting a decisive battle with Su Dingfang in Hedong, and there was Li Shimin's shadow behind him.
"Let's go, go and meet Li Shimin." He Li thought about it, but decided to collect his troops and go up, he decided to see what Li Shimin was doing, Su Dingfang thought about it, but he ordered someone to shake the Chinese army, Luo Shixin in the distance saw it clearly, immediately turned the horse's head, and led 10,000 cavalry to disappear under Hedong City. Only by combining the inside and the outside can it be possible to achieve the combination of the inside and the outside, and at a critical time, many crises can be solved.
"Li Shimin, I didn't expect you to have the courage to come to see me?" Qibi He Li's body was already covered with blood, and even there was blood on his beard, but the golden scimitar in his hand flashed with a strange light, and Qibi He Li's eyes flashed coldly, looking at Li Shimin, looking like he was about to start fighting if he didn't agree with him.
"General Qibi He Li, why do you treat the people of the world like this?" Li Shimin smiled, his demeanor was very friendly, as if he didn't know anything, he looked at Qibi He Li and Ashina Simo and said: "Two generals, could it be that Shimin has offended the two generals?" ”
"Li Shimin, don't say it so nicely, is it your doing? Not to mention for the time being, these days, you let us fight hard with Li Xin, so that both sides will lose, and then you fishermen will benefit, Li Shimin, you have to give us an explanation, otherwise, my Turkic millions of male soldiers will immediately go south to the Central Plains and destroy you, I believe Li Xin is very happy to see this scene. He Li snorted coldly.
"Two generals, these words are wronged, Shimin has been in Henan during this time, there are not even 10,000 soldiers in Hebei, how to calculate the two generals, as for the matter of Hedong, there is no order from the king in the army, and he does not dare to send troops, so he can only supply the two generals with grain, grass and equipment, this king is fighting a decisive battle in Henan in Li Xin, and the two generals attack Hedong, and the two cooperate with each other, isn't it good?" Li Shimin defended: "No, in order to support the two generals, Shimin has transferred a lot of soldiers and horses, so he can't wait to come to support, the two generals still look at Shimin like this, it really makes Shimin's heart sad!" ”
Qibi He Li and Ashina Simo glanced at each other, with a hint of confusion in their eyes, they knew that Li Shimin held Li Zhao's military power, but they still had some doubts about this matter.
"Two generals, our army has lost a lot in Henan, but I think that the two generals are still fighting under Hedong City, so I can't wait to lead my Dazhao to participate in the army to support the two generals." Li Shimin saw that the two had let go of their hostility, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Qi Bi He Li and Ashina Simo would not even say a word when they met, and they would kill them directly, which would be a big loss, simply because this Qi Bi He Li was not a Turkic general in the traditional sense, he only knew how to kill, and he didn't know how to think.
"Support? I'm afraid I'm coming to the east of the river! Qi Bi He Li said disdainfully: "We are almost attacking Hedong now, there are only twenty or thirty thousand people on the other side, and it is only very simple to defeat Hedong, where do you still need your help, you are just coming to Hedong, and we Turks are desperately working, but in the end it is to fulfill you, Li Shimin, your abacus is too accurate." ”
"The two generals laughed, how could I, Li Shimin, be such a person, but since this king has returned, it means that Li Xin has also returned, and his soldiers and horses will soon come to Hedong, how will the two generals deal with him at that time, his soldiers and horses are waiting for work, Li Xin is even more brave, if he wants to deal with him, the soldiers and horses of the two generals may not be enough." Li Shiming said very calmly, but his face was pretending to be thinking about Qi and He Li, and he looked extremely sincere.
"And what do you think?" Ashina Simo and Qibi He Li glanced at each other and asked. Li Shimin is right, since he has returned, it means that Li Xin must also be back, and Li Xin's army is about to be killed, which is bad news for the Turks, and the two of them also need to consider this matter.
"Hedong City is attacked by us, after capturing Hedong, the money, grain and grass in it belong to the two generals, as compensation, the people can also send 200,000 stone of grain to the two generals, the two generals only need to invade Guanzhong, and the looted things are also owned by the Turks, after our army occupies Hedong, send the two generals to leave Dazhao, what do the two generals think?" Li Shimin said very seriously.
He Li and Ashina Simo glanced at each other, and finally said, "This matter is very important, and we need to think about it seriously. "They've already been fooled once, and this time they need to think about it before they do it.
Although Li Shimin was anxious, he also knew that he couldn't rush at this time, but he looked at Hedong City opposite, his eyes flickered, and said: "Since the two generals need to consider, Shimin naturally doesn't dare to stop it, but at the moment, this Hedong City, I, Li Shimin, will take it, and after setting up the camp, I will attack the city immediately." The two generals were also asked to make early preparations. ”
"That's very good." After hearing this, Qibi He Li and Ashina Simo nodded and said, "This also allows us to see how King Qin captured Hedong City. These days of continuous attacks made Qi Bi He Li feel the strength of the Central Plains City, he had also captured the Central Plains City before, but when he encountered a strong city like Hedong City, he encountered a general like Su Dingfang, and after attacking for so long, it was really not so easy to capture the city, at this time, he also had to see that Li Shimin captured the city in this way.
"Hou Junji, immediately lead the army to attack the city, we can't let Su Dingfang have the possibility of resting." Li Shimin looked at the mottled city wall, his eyes flashed with pride and madness, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity that Li Xin did not arrive, and capture Hedong City, only in this way can he hang a sword on the head of Chang'an, and he can deter Chang'an City at any time, just like when Li Xin occupied Hedong and deterred Taiyuan.
"Yes." Hou Junji held a big knife in his hand, and with a roar, he commanded the army to march noisily and kill him towards Hedong City.
"Please also borrow your ladder and arrow tower." Li Shimin said to He Li on the side. At the same time, in order to capture Hedong City, Li Shimin didn't care about borrowing the tools of the Turks, so that Su Dingfang would not have more time to rest.
"Please." He Li nodded. He would love to see the Han Chinese killing each other. (To be continued......)
