Chapter 236: Fighting from both sides
Daxing City to Feng Yi County is about 100 miles, Feng Yi County is the first county to build a brick road, every four horses pull a four-wheeled carriage, carrying ten soldiers on the straight brick road running fast.
After resting for half an hour, all the carriages continued to move forward, and they had already arrived at Huayin before sunset, and they did not stop at all, and they were directly moving towards Feng Yijun.
As night fell, all the carriages were lit up, and under the leadership of the cavalry, they marched all the way, and at ten midnight, 50,000 Daxing troops had arrived at Fengyi County.
Yin Shishi stepped out of the carriage, and by the light of the burning torches, he looked at Feng Yijun City in front of him, and couldn't help but be full of horror.
In just half a day, they actually marched a hundred miles, this is probably the unprecedented marching speed, at this moment the Yin Shishi really realized the power of the brick road, with this brick road, Daxing City will be invincible.
Yin Shishi looked at the soldiers who were still full of spirit in front of him, and his heart was shocked, what is commendable is that all the soldiers rode in the carriage all the way, and they all maintained their physical strength intact, even if there was an enemy attack, they were fully capable of fighting again.
"Arrived at Feng Yijun?"
Yang Yu got out of the carriage, yawned, rubbed, fluffy eyes, he had slept all the way, and only now did he wake up.
The Yin Shishi was speechless, it was the young man in front of him who created the fastest marching speed in this era, and at this record-breaking historical moment, its most important hero actually slept all the way.
"His Royal Highness!"
The Yin Shi Shi saluted, his face full of admiration.
"See His Royal Highness the Acting King!"
Feng Yijun's lieutenants, Jiang Yuyong and Li Jing, had already been waiting for a lot of things. Come together and bow down.
"Please also ask His Royal Highness to enter the city for a short rest, the city has been arranged." Jiang Yuyong suggested.
"Okay, the whole army is in the city!" Yang Yu ordered.
Yang Yu, under the escort of the guards of the East Palace, took the lead in entering, and then 50,000 troops entered Feng Yi County.
Feng Yijun guarded the mansion, the original owner had been imprisoned, and this became Yang Yu's temporary residence.
Yang Yu sat in the hall energetically, and a huge sand table was placed in the center, which was Feng Yijun's sand table diagram.
"What's the situation now?" Yang Yu asked.
"His Royal Highness the Acting King. General Yao led his troops to arrive at Jawyang first. Li Yuan's army is attacking the city, and the battle in Jayang is currently tense. Li Jingyu reported.
Yaojun has 20,000 soldiers and horses, and occupies the advantage of the city, although the Tang army has many people. They didn't have much siege tools at all. There is no problem for Yao Junsu to defend Jaw Yang City.
"Hold on!"
Yang Yu breathed a sigh of relief. His advance layout finally had an effect, and Li Yuan was blocked under Jaw Yang City, as long as Li Yuan was dragged down. He couldn't fly.
"Your Highness, are we going to attack overnight!" Jiang Yuyong suggested.
In his opinion, now that he has attacked overnight, the army suddenly appears in front of Li Yuan's army, and it will definitely be a miracle.
Yang Yu shook his head and said, "Although we are marching fast, many materials have not yet arrived, and now we have attacked overnight and arrived at Jawyang, I am afraid that the soldiers are already tired and have no strength to fight anymore." ”
"What His Royal Highness the Acting King said is extremely true." The Yin World Master nodded.
Yin Shishi has always been known for his steadiness, now that the imperial army has arrived in Feng Yijun, Yao Junsu has defended Jawyang, the situation has been reversed, as long as they fight steadily, it will be a matter of time before they defeat the Tang army, and there is no need to take risks at all.
"Command! The whole army is repaired, and tomorrow the army will set off. Yang Yu ordered.
"Yes!" Yin Shishi, Li Jing, and Jiang Yuyong responded.
Under the city of Jawyang.
The battle was fierce, the Tang army rushed forward wave after wave, rushed up with a simple ladder, and the defenders on the city wall repelled wave after wave of Tang army.
"Whew!"
The horn of Mingjin's troops sounded.
Suddenly, the Tang army retreated like a tide.
"Big win!"
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
On the city of Jawyang, the Sui army erupted in bursts of cheers.
Yao Junsu wiped the blood on his face, and his face, which had been tense, finally showed a smile, and he guarded his jaw and repelled Li Yuan.
After he received the order of His Royal Highness the Acting King, he marched non-stop, and finally rushed to occupy Jaeyang City before the Tang army, and the Tang army was unwilling to defeat and immediately attacked the city on a large scale.
However, although Yao Junsu is not famous, his defensive strength is absolutely strong, and according to the advantages of the city, he finally blocked Li Yuan's pace.
Historically, at this moment Li Yuan had broken through Daxing City, Qu Tutong also surrendered to Li Yuan, Yao Junsu refused to surrender, held the lonely city, resisted Li Yuan's army, and it was not until the Jiangdu Revolution came, he was killed left and right, and Hedong fell.
Yao Jun was loyal to the Sui Dynasty, and Yang Yu also trusted him, so he led the army to defend Hedong City, and put Qu Tutong on the front line.
At this moment, time and space are changing, and under Yang Yu's special arrangement, the two enemies gathered under Jaeyang City again.
This time, Yao Junsu did not disappoint Yang Yun, and once again exerted his defensive talents, allowing the Tang army to return with hatred under Jawyang City.
"Pass the order, repair the city wall, strengthen the guard, the reinforcements from the imperial court will come soon!" Yao Junsu looked at the direction in which the Tang army was retreating and ordered.
"Yes!" The soldier shouted.
…………
The Tang army Mingjin withdrew his troops and retreated ten miles before setting up camp.
"Yao Junsu has been stationed in Hedong, how can he appear in Jaw Yang City." In the big tent of the Tang Army, Li Yuan was angry.
With Xiao Zao's cooperation, after the Tang army captured the entire Fengyi County, he used the connections of the Taiyuan Wang family and the Li family and the Dou family in Guanzhong to gradually attack the entire Guanzhong.
However, the Tang army had just arrived at the city of Jayang, and the Sui army had already appeared, which made him not panic.
"Could it be that Xiao Zao betrayed us?" Li Jiancheng said suspiciously.
"Impossible! For his father, he has the evidence of his crime of raiding his family and destroying the clan, Xiao Zao cannot betray us, since the Sui army appeared in Jawyang, now Xiao Zao must be more than lucky. Li Yuan shook his head and said.
Li Yuan regretted in his heart, Xiao Zao was a good move. It's a pity that it's scrapped before it plays a role.
"Could it be, Guanzhong deliberately let us enter the customs and lead us to divide our troops!" Li Shimin burst out with a bold guess.
"Probably not!" Li Yuan was stunned, shook his head and said, "The work of crossing the river for my father is very secretive, and no one knows about it. ”
"No matter what, we have no way out, this time Jaw Yang must be won." Li Yuan said sharply.
"It's a pity that we just crossed the river, and there are no extra siege weapons at all, otherwise. Just rely on Yao Junsu's mediocrity. Jaw Yang City is simply a battle. Li Shimin said angrily.
In today's battle, the soldiers of the Tang Army fought bravely, but they suffered from the lack of siege weapons.
"Order the soldiers to build siege weapons overnight, and be sure to break through Jaeyang before the arrival of reinforcements from Daxing City." Li Yuan ordered.
"Yes!"
Now. Li Yuan's father and son still don't know what to do. Yang Yu has led an army of 50,000 to travel 100 miles a day. has already arrived at Feng Yi County.
The winter morning was exceptionally cold and windy.
As soon as the sky was bright, the soldiers in Feng Yijun got up one after another. Begin to prepare for the expedition.
Yang Yu wore a royal robe on the outside and a cotton coat on the inside, and under the escort of Dong Yue, he began to patrol the soldiers' camp.
At this moment, the whole camp is full of smoke, the leader of the gang will prepare the hot meal, the soldiers are wearing cotton clothes and cotton armor are starting to eat, and the army is about to set off after eating.
Seeing the cotton clothes and cotton armor on the soldiers, Yang Yu nodded slightly, with these cotton clothes and cotton armor, the cold of winter will become the most powerful weapon of the Daxing Army.
"See His Royal Highness the Acting King!"
When the soldiers saw Yang Yu coming, they saluted one after another, and their eyes showed fanaticism.
Since His Royal Highness the Acting King set up the wounded barracks, the treatment of countless wounded soldiers has already spread among the soldiers, and after the Battle of Yan'an, His Royal Highness the Acting King personally wrote a death notice for each soldier, and each person received a pension of 300 yuan, and let the local officials take care of the families of the fallen soldiers.
Moreover, the soldiers who went out to fight this time each had cotton clothes and cotton armor, and even the food in their hands was meat and vegetarian, which was unimaginable before.
"Excuse me!"
Yang Yu nodded and encouraged the soldiers, and after inspecting all the large camps, and after gaining countless etiquette, he returned to the Taishou Mansion to prepare to continue the expedition.
The sun had just risen, and the Sui army was already ready, and once again set off and headed towards Jawyang.
At the same time, in the freezing Mayi.
A fast horse faced the cold wind and galloped out of the city of Mayi.
"Hahaha! Li Yuan crossed the Yellow River and attacked Guanzhong. Liu Wuzhou couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw the information in his hand.
At this time, Li Yuan and Sui Jun were pinching each other in Guanzhong, and no one on either side took care of him, and this moment was the best time for him Liu Wuzhou to go south.
"Someone, invite all the generals!" Liu Wuzhou shouted.
"Yes!" The soldier was ordered to leave.
"Knock knock!" The drums of the gathering will sound,
After a while, Song Jingang and Wei Chi Jingde and other Mayi generals rushed over, and even Yuan Junzhang and other civil officials also came.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now that Li Yuan is trapped in the middle of the pass, Taiyuan is already an empty city, and the opportunity for me to go south is right in front of me." Liu Wuzhou looked around, his voice excited. The opportunity he had been waiting for finally came, Taiyuan was just a little kid like Li Yuanji guarding the town, so there was nothing to worry about at all.
"Congratulations to Lord Taishou, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Song Jingang congratulated.
"Lord Taishou is wise!" The generals complimented.
They all know that Liu Wuzhou has always had the heart to go south, although the weather is cold at this time, but the opportunity at the fingertips of an important town like Taiyuan is too difficult to find, even Yuan Junzhang thinks that this moment is indeed a godsend, and he did not say anything to stop it.
"Listen to the order, immediately reorganize your troops, and prepare to go south!" Liu Wuzhou shouted.
"Yes!" Song Jingang and the others shouted.
"Lord Yuan, after I set out on the expedition, Ma Yi will entrust it to you." Liu Wuzhou said.
"Lord Taishou can rest assured, and the humble position will ensure the stability of Ma Yi." Yuan Junzhang assured.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I will fight for my fate in the future." Liu Wuzhou shouted.
"Victory."
Song Jingang and other generals shouted.
At the end of November, Liu Wuzhou learned that Li Yuan was trapped in Guanzhong, and despite the severe cold, he sent troops south. (To be continued......)
