Chapter 522: The Bloody Battle of Zhou Liucheng (1)
"Kim Dajiaogan, General Kim Wuyeol has arrived!" Xue and Niu didn't wait long, as the sound of the soldiers outside the door sounded, two Silla generals, an old man and a young man, came in from outside the door, these two were the two generals of the Silla side of the Tang-Xin coalition army, the old man was in his early fifties, named Kim Yuxin, the current Silla Dajiaogan, and was the most trusted minister of Queen Jindeok; The young man was less than thirty years old, his name was Kim Chunqiu, and his official name was General Wuyeol, and he was the nephew of the Silla queen Jindeok, who married Kim Yuxin as his wife, and he had the reputation of being the first military general of Silla.
"The last generals, Jin Yuxin, Jin Chunqiu, see General Xue, see General Niu." Although Erjin has a prominent official position, and the soldiers under his command are more than twice as many as those of the Tang Army, but after all, the Tang Dynasty is the suzerainty of Silla, and Erjin still has to salute respectfully when he sees Xue and Niu.
"Hmm." Xue Wanche nodded reservedly, which was regarded as a return salute, and then waved his hand and said: "The two of you came just in time, Xue has a good strategy to break the enemy, can you and the rest of the department fight now?" ”
Jin Chunqiu is young and vigorous, he has not fought a battle these days, and he has long been suffocated, as soon as he heard Xue Wanche's words and has a strategy to break the enemy, he immediately became excited, and hurriedly bowed and said: "General Xue, our department can fight at any time, please give the general an order." ”
Jin Yuxin was old and serious, but he didn't express his position easily, but said in a deep voice: "General Xue is the general of the Heavenly Empire, since he can break the enemy, the last general should obey his fate, but there is a huge difference between the enemy and our forces, this battle is not easy, and the last general implores General Xue to make it clear." ”
Although Jin Yuxin's words were euphemistic, the meaning of his words was very clear, that is, Xue Wanche first came up with a proper plan, and he Jin Yuxin was willing to act according to the plan, Xue Wanche naturally understood this, and couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart, but considering that most of the main forces of the coalition army were Silla soldiers, this campaign could not be effective without Silla's full cooperation, and he could only force himself to press the impatience in his heart, glared at Jin Yuxin stupidly, groaned for a while, turned to the sand table, and pointed: "Two of you, please look, our army is gathered here, The enemy army gathered in three places, namely the three cities of Garin, Zhouliu and Xiongjin, among which the Japanese naval army was in Xiongjin, with a total of about 30,000 soldiers and more than 300 large and small warships; Garin is located at the key point of land and water, with more than 60,000 soldiers, and is the elite division of Baekje; Zhou Liu, is the barrier of the Baekje capital city of Si Xuan, if this city is broken, Si Yu City can go down every day, the main force currently staying in the city is 70,000 Goguryeo army, and more than 10,000 Baekje army for assistance, this array is a word long snake formation method, echoing from beginning to end, urgent and difficult to go down, if our army launches the offensive step by step, not to mention the delay of time, can break the thief is also between the two, only now the plan should hit its key point, lure the enemy to mess up the position, there is a chance of a big victory, a certain intention has been decided, enter the army to stay around, break the enemy in a battle, you dare to fight with the general? ”
Erjin are both generals of the battle array, and they know the topography of Baekje well, and when they heard Xue Wanche say that they want to take Zhouliu City directly, they have changed color - Zhouliucheng is located in the middle of Baekje, and if you want to attack Zhouliu, you must first break through the three cities of Huaishan, Liuhe, and Zhuzhou, and then you can reach Zhouliu City, not to mention the dangers along the way, once you go deep into the enemy's territory, and fail to break the enemy, then you will be in the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy on all sides, not to mention that after driving straight into the enemy's territory, the supply line is too long, and the logistics are really unsustainable. It is a fluke that the ten stops can be withdrawn and the three stops, although the two golds are quite courageous, but there are still some people who can't bear the risk of taking the country's soldiers, but since Xue Wanche proposed it, the two golds didn't have the courage to oppose it directly, and they stood there looking at each other, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
"General Xue is a god, and the last general admires it, but the last general has three unclear points in his heart, and I implore General Xue to give detailed guidance." It is naturally not okay to be silent all the time, seeing that Xue Wanche's face is getting more and more ugly, Jin Yuxin had to stand up and ask for instructions.
"Speak!" Xue Wanche stared at Jin Yuxin coldly for a while, and then squeezed out a word from between his teeth.
"Thank you, General Xue." Jin Yuxin was stared at by Xue Wanche with a creepy stare of the bones, sweat on his forehead surging wildly, as soon as he heard Xue Wanche open his mouth, he hurriedly thanked him first, and then lowered his voice and said: "Zhou Liucheng is far away and Xiongjin is near, if my army is full of strength to attack Zhouliu, if it fails to go down overnight, then I am afraid that the Japanese soldiers of Xiongjin will come to attack my Silla, in addition, the army of Garin may also be desperate to send troops to relieve the siege, even if the morale of our army is like a rainbow, but there is also a risk of misstepping, again, the army goes deep into the enemy's belly, the grain and grass are difficult to transport, and it is easy to be cut off by the enemy. If you can't annihilate the Japanese navy, I am afraid that it will be difficult to trap the thief army, once it is delayed, the battle situation will be ruined, and the general will be ignorant, so I implore the general to solve the confusion on my behalf. ”
Jin Yuxin's words were clear and coherent, and most of them were to the point, which really made Xue Wanche look at him, although Xue Wanche already had a relevant solution in his heart, but he did not rush to explain, but smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically: "Then according to Jin Dajiaogan's intentions, how should this battle be fought?" ”
Jin Yuxin said a lot of things boldly, he was worried that Xue Wanche would get angry, but at this time, seeing that Xue Wanche was not angry, his heart was relieved, and he hurriedly replied: "General Xue, the last general thinks that it is better to take Garin City first, this city is a key point of land and water, if our army can take this place first, then it can be attacked and retreated, and there is no need to worry about the enemy disturbing our rear road. ”
"Oh? Hahaha......" As soon as Jin Yuxin's words fell, Xue Wanche looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, laughing so that Jin Yuxin was uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to say anything about Xue Wanche's wild laughter, and stood aside awkwardly, until Xue Wanche finished laughing, then said with a wry smile: "General, general, general......"
"Hehe, although what Jin Dajiaogan said is a safe policy, but this strategy is in the middle of the thief army's arms, you must know that once our army enters Garin, the enemy of all sides will surround our army, and resist the thief army head-on with the strength of our army, even if it is not a miserable victory, it will be unable to fight again, and in the end there is only one retreat, hey, Galin's bait will not be interested in gnawing, as for Jin Dajiaogan's three questions, this general has already made a plan." Xue Wanche said this, paused, turned to the sand table again, and pointed: "Zhou Liu is in the heart, the thief never expected that our army would dare to take Zhou Liu, and he would be unprepared, and now the wheat will be ripe, if our army is in a hurry, the enemy will not have time to harvest the wheat, there is no food in the city, how can he hold on, as for the Japanese navy, hey, the general is worried that it will not come, if it is not bad, the Japanese naval division will inevitably attack the two cities of Shabi and Qinujiang first, in order to cut off the rear road of our army, if our army ignores it, then its naval division will eventually have to move to Zhouliu, At that time, it is the day of its destruction, once the Japanese naval army is destroyed, then Zhou will be surrendered, Si Hyun City will be in no danger to defend, Baekje will perish, and the rest of the places will be destroyed if they are not attacked! ”
Xue Wanche said that his blood was boiling, but Erjin was full of cold sweat, facing Xue Wanche's eager gaze, he didn't dare to express his position, which made Xue Wanche angry, glared, and ordered straightforwardly: "Jin Yuxin, Jin Chunqiu listen to the order!" ”
"The last general!" As soon as he saw Xue Wanche take out the shelf of the commander of the coalition forces, the two Jin were terrified in their hearts, but they could only stand up and promise.
"Jin Yuxin, this general Linger is to stay behind, lead 5,000 soldiers to guard Shabi, once the Japanese naval division comes to attack, immediately abandon the city and leave, there is no need to face the battle, withdraw to Pang Mountain, be sure to hold this mountain, and do not let the Japanese naval division go deep into the border," Xue Wanche stared at Jin Yuxin coldly, and asked word by word: "Do you dare to obey the order?" ”
At this point, Jin Yuxin didn't dare to force it anymore, raised his eyebrows, and replied respectfully: "The last general will obey the order." ”
"Good." After Xue Wanche stared at Jin Yuxin for a while, he gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, then turned his head to look at Jin Chunqiu, who was a little at a loss, and said in a deep voice: "Jin Chunqiu, this general Linger will lead all the soldiers and horses of the headquarters as the vanguard, and send troops tomorrow, escorted by my Tang Naval Division, forcibly cross the Han River, and be sure to conquer Huaishan City within one day, and then send the troops to the states, be sure to take the states before the fourth day of the first month of June. As for Zhou Liucheng, it will be handed over to the general to deal with, and you only need to send 5,000 people with enough sickles and other things to be responsible for harvesting wheat, do you dare to do it? ”
Jin Chunqiu was originally worried that his troops would be used as cannon fodder for the siege of the city, and as long as he held the states, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground - although the states were far away from the Han River, after all, they were only facing 60,000 or 70,000 Baekje soldiers in the direction of Garin, and with nearly 100,000 people under his command, even if they could not win the battle, it was not too difficult to withdraw to Silla. Then Silla Ke had to go around without eating, and in his heart, he was shocked, and hurriedly persuaded him: "General Xue, although your army is an elite division, the number is small, and there are more than 80,000 enemies left in Zhou, which cannot be underestimated, and the last general does not need 100,000 people to defend the states, and the general can ......."
"No need, General Jin, please rest assured, a certain has his own strategy to break the enemy, just do what he is ordered, and you don't need to take care of the enemy who stays around." Without waiting for Jin Chunqiu to finish speaking, Xue Wanche waved his hand impatiently, interrupted Jin Chunqiu's words, and rejected Jin Chunqiu's kindness with extreme confidence.
"Yes, the last general obeys the order, without further ado, the last general requests to return to the camp immediately to reorganize the army, and send troops to attack on time tomorrow!" Seeing that Xue Wanche rejected his proposal, Jin Chunqiu didn't dare to say more, replied respectfully, and left with Jin Yuxin.
"Brother Wanche, if this battle is successful, you will be famous in the annals of history." After Erjin went, Niu Jinda, who had always been silent, sighed with emotion.
Xue Wanche shook his head with a wry smile and said: "The old general smiled, Xue Mou is also helpless, it's all ......, alas, that's it, don't talk about this, the navy will ask the elder brother." ”
"Well, don't worry, Niu knows the severity and leaves." The military situation was urgent, Niu Jinda didn't dare to say more, and after bowing his hand, he strode away.
"Alas......" Xue Wanche stood speechless in the room for a long time, dragged his feet to the window, silently stared at the sunset with only a little afterglow left, sighed, and stood as a statue as immobile as a mountain......
On the 28th day of May in the 21st year of Zhenguan, the Tang and Xin coalition forces that had been assembled for more than two months in the small city of Shabi suddenly launched a fierce and abnormal assault, under the cover of the Tang Dynasty naval division, the 150,000 troops forcibly crossed the Han River in batches, conquered Huaishan in one day, and went down to Liuhe City on the third day, and the troops pointed directly at Zhuzhou, and the Baekje general Fu Yu Monan, who guarded the city of Zhuzhou, saw that the Tang Xin coalition army was strong, and did not dare to stop its sharpness, so he led his troops to abandon the city and flee to Garin, and the news spread to Zhou Liucheng, which caused a great chaos when he landed, At the beginning of the meeting, all parties had different opinions, and the defenders of the war were all in one place, each holding a word, and they were not the same. At the same time, more than 15,000 naval divisions of the Tang Army entered the Baicun River from the Jinjiang River in more than 180 large and small warships, and also advanced towards Zhouliucheng from the waterway.
"Gentlemen, now that the situation is clear, Tang Kou is here to stay in the city for me, what do you think and please come." The prince of Baekje, who presided over the meeting, saw that it was not a good idea to remain silent like this, so he had to take the lead in speaking.
"What the prince said is reasonable, now that the Tang thief army is pressing the border, it is time to make a decision." Onimuro Fukushin echoed: "Tang Kou is pouring into the nest, Silla will be empty, but as long as our army can hold Zhouliu, the enemy will be tired, if we can cut off the rear with one army, then this battle can be a great victory, even if it is not impossible to destroy Silla." As he spoke, he glanced at the silent Gao Quansheng and the former ministers of the Great Power God, his eyes full of anticipation.
Gao Quansheng is a son of the Goguryeo clan, is the cousin of the current King of Goguryeo, this time he led his troops to aid Baekje, and did not think about fighting with the Tang Xin coalition army, but just borrowed the military momentum to stabilize the situation in Baekje, otherwise he would not be stationed in the city this week, but he didn't expect him not to go, the Tang army came to the door by himself, and saw that the posture was really aimed at the more than 70,000 Goguryeo troops in the city, which made Gao Quansheng very unhappy, in his opinion, the Tang army is fierce, but it is not a big deal, What's more, the Tang army is only a mere 35,000 here, and he already has the heart to measure the ability of the Tang army, but at this time, the eyes of the ghost room Fuxin glanced over, and said disapprovingly: "Our army is numerous, the enemy is outnumbered, and it is not the ability to defend the city, since Tang Kou is going to come to find death, and see that a certain army is annihilated under the city, hehe, I want to see what Tang Kou is capable of, dare to come here to die!" ”
"Okay, but with General Gao's presence, I will have no worries when I stay in the city!" When Fu Yufeng heard Gao Quansheng's statement, he was overjoyed, slapped his high-fives, Huo Ran got up, and said with a smile: "I think that Silla Xiaokou dares to help him abuse, he must be spared, can the former general of the giant god lead the army to cut off the back road of the thief army, so that these thieves can not come and go?" ”
"What's so difficult about this, return to Xiongjin immediately, and transfer troops to Silla, just Silla is enough to worry about it, and it is as easy as a snap of effort." The translation of the former ministers of the giant god is an arrogant person, relying on the elite of the navy under his command, and he doesn't look at the Tang army at all, let alone the Silla with empty troops.
"This is very good, our army will definitely win this battle." Fu Yufeng saw that Gao Quansheng and the translation of the former ministers of the Great Power God had expressed their attitudes one after another, and the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, looked at everyone excitedly, stroked his palms and smiled, and suddenly saw that Futu Daochen, who had never said a word, had a worried face, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, glanced at Futu Daochen and said: "General Futu, do you have any advice on this battle?" ”
Futu Daochen actually didn't see through the intentions of the Tang Xin Alliance's invincible move, but he vaguely felt that things should not be as simple as they appeared, and there was always an ominous premonition in his heart, but he couldn't really knock it for a while, and when he was pondering, he suddenly heard his own prince speak, and he stood up busily, and replied hesitantly: "Your Royal Highness the prince, the old minister was thinking before, now the winter wheat will be ripe, and now the grain and grass in the city are only enough for three months. If the waterway is also blocked by Tang Kou, there is nowhere to transfer food, and the war may be difficult. ”
Futu Daochen didn't mention the grain and grass, and everyone didn't think there was anything wrong, this mentions, everyone was shocked to realize that something was wrong, and they were stunned, but Gao Quansheng said disapprerovingly: "It's okay, Tang Kou is in a hurry, presumably there is also a shortage of food, why don't I take the winter wheat first, as for Tang Kou, I will leave it to the general to deal with." ”
"Okay, General Gao is brave, Xiao Wang admires." Fu Yufeng said words praising Gao Quansheng in his mouth, but he secretly calculated in his heart, turned around and looked at the ghost room Fuxin and said: "General Ghost Room, since Tang Kou has divided his troops with the Silla clown, Garin will no longer have to hoard heavy troops, let Fu Yu Shengsheng lead the Garin defenders to attack the states, completely cut off the contact between Tang Kou and the Silla army, and in addition, please immediately mobilize the people to go out of the city to grab the winter wheat, and count as much as you can collect, if you can't finish the harvest, you will burn it all, and you won't leave a ridge or an acre for the Tang army." ”
"Yes, the last will obey." The ghost room Fuxin Benlong is the biggest landlord in Zhou Liucheng, at this time, when he heard that the winter wheat that was not fully ripe was going to be harvested, he was distressed about the loss, but he did not dare to violate the order of his own prince, and hurriedly answered, and was about to go to pass the order, before he walked to the door of the council hall, he saw a partial general rushing in from outside the door of the council hall, and shouted breathlessly: "Report, report, report, Tang, Tang Kou, arrived, arrived." ”
"What?"
"Hiss......"
……
Everyone didn't expect Tang Jun to come so quickly, and they were all dumbfounded immediately, and for a while, they exclaimed and inhaled, and they were all stunned on the spot......
