0414 Breaking Lingzhou again
In the middle of the night, the lakeside tidal flats north of Pig City are still brightly lit, and many of the soldiers who had been captured in the recent battle are constantly digging for silt.
"Keep digging, digging seriously, even if you hollow out this lake, you have to dig it out for me!"
On the floating row connected by the boat, Li Tai personally stood here to supervise the work, and there was a lot of irritability and annoyance between his eyebrows, and he scolded these prisoners of war, and his tone was also extremely irritable.
Now he finally understands why the two sides are fighting in the TV series and why they exchange names, not only to let the audience understand, but also to let the warring parties know who the enemy is, otherwise there will be such an embarrassing situation as it is now.
It was also after the battle that he roughly interrogated the prisoners of war, only to learn that the commander of this group turned out to be Liu Feng, the enemy general who was stabbed to death by himself and then his body fell into the mud of the mud.
At that time, he was full of thoughts of killing the enemy, how could he care about distinguishing the identity of the enemy, but after knowing it, he was annoyed in his heart, regretting that he shouldn't have taken it so seriously.
Liu Feng's popularity and popularity among the generals of the Later Three Kingdoms are not too high, and the only thing that is familiar to the public is probably the hasty and somewhat inexplicable way of dying, which may have to be stained with the light of Murong Shaozong and his opponent Wang Sizheng who were in the same boat.
But in fact, Liu Feng's significance to the Western Wei Dynasty is so great that three or five Murong Shaozong may not be able to compare. This guy is the son-in-law of Cao Ni, the original assassin of Lingzhou, and he once guarded Lingzhou with Cao Ni.
Soon after Yuwentai solved Hou Mo Chen Yue and welcomed Emperor Xiaowu, he began to use troops against Lingzhou repeatedly, but they failed to help the pair of Weng sons-in-law, and they successfully escaped from the Western Wei Dynasty and joined the Eastern Wei Dynasty.
In the battle of Lingzhou that year, the Six Pillars Kingdom of later generations alone were sent to Liu, but Liu Feng still could not be dealt with. On the contrary, after the end of the Battle of Bishan, Liu Feng chased the tail of their defeated army and killed him, if it weren't for Wang Sizheng's strength at the critical moment, the current Kansai still doesn't know what the situation is.
Li Tai didn't expect that such a young general would be killed by himself so easily. The first thing that came to mind after the surprise was naturally to quickly salvage Liu Feng's body to ensure that the evidence was conclusive.
With such a brilliant result, he didn't even think about the reward, just showing his face was amazing, who of these guys in Beizhen would dare to brag about any feats in front of him in the future?
The guy you can't figure out, even if he escapes to the Eastern Wei Dynasty and Jinyang Mansion, Lao Tzu can find him out and kill him! One by one, they are five big and three thick, and they look like five people and six people, just waiting for Lao Tzu to wipe your buttocks, a group of ruined things!
"Lord Lang, you are tired from the fierce battle, and the weather is cold, so let's go into the city to rest first, and come back tomorrow morning to check."
He was still fantasizing about how to show off to those guys after returning to Kansai, and Zhang Shinu next to him shrank his head and said persuadingly.
He didn't say that it was okay, Li Tai suddenly felt the cold when he heard this, and after learning Liu Feng's identity, he quickly organized prisoners of war to come and dig up before he could remove his armor, but the battle was too chaotic at that time, and many enemy corpses fell into the mudflats, and it was a little difficult to dig them out at this time.
Liu Feng's corpse is important, but Li Tai didn't want to be infected with the wind and cold here, so he carefully admonished a few words, and then returned to the city to relieve his armor and wash his clothes, and comfortably went to sleep.
The next morning, he had just put on his clothes and got up, and the young man Yan Zheng was already standing in front of the door with two dark circles under his eyes.
Seeing Li Taixing coming out, Yan Zheng hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Lord Lang, the prisoners of war dug up in the second half of the night, and finally dug up the corpse of the enemy, and it has been washed and placed in the front hall!" ”
Li Tai was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly strode towards the front hall, and when he turned around, he saw that Yan Zheng was still following behind him, so he waved his hand to this kid and said, "Haven't slept all night?" Hurry up and sleep for a while, and continue the march in an hour! ”
At this time, many soldiers had gathered outside the front hall, all of them circled around Liu Feng's corpse on the wooden shelf, but it was not a blasphemy of the dead, it was really Liu Feng's name was too loud in Kansai, and there was no lack of old soldiers in Pishan who also went out with the army to Lingzhou in the old years, and at this time I saw the corpse of this tenacious and invincible enemy in front of me, and I was embarrassed in my heart.
When they saw Li Tai, the general who killed Liu Feng with his own hands, everyone applauded and applauded, and their admiration for him deepened.
As long as Li Tai found Liu Feng's body, he didn't have much interest in this person, and after looking at it for a few times, he ordered the soldiers to bury it a little so that they could be carried with the army later.
】
Taking advantage of the breakfast time, Li Tai and the generals summarized and discussed the current situation.
They set off from the Jin Temple a few days ago, and it took two days for the former men and horses to arrive in the pig city, when there were still hundreds of defenders in the city, but seeing that they had thousands of people in a vast group, the defenders were also panicked, and rushed to meet the battle, but in the end they were defeated and broke through the city.
The trap set by Li Tai was not at all aimed at dealing with Liu Feng's reinforcements returning from Yubi City, but at the men and horses of the left near Xicheng.
According to the situation they have at the moment, although the Jihu army led by Han Guo has come south many days ago, they have been blocked outside the Liubi City and cannot break through this series of city defenses, and the brigade still cannot smoothly enter the hinterland of Fenzhou and plunder.
Although there is no way for the brigade to enter here, the infiltration of a small group is still possible. Ji Hu is a rogue style, and it is not easy to ask them to be strict in the formation with great fanfare, so although the main force of its brigade is still blocked in Liubi City, these teams that have infiltrated have also made the surrounding areas of Fenzhou jump.
Pig City originally had more than 2,000 troops, but the cities near the left kept asking for help, and the men and horses were frequently transferred to other places, so the guard force became so empty, and was attacked by Li Tai's troops.
The total number of Jihu infiltrators into the country should be quite large, otherwise the people who would not have fled in droves would not have been in calamity, but if they wanted to effectively gather these goods, they were afraid that they would not be able to get Gao Huan's army to return to China.
Therefore, Li Tai does not intend to get involved with these tricksters, it is better to break through the siege as soon as possible and leave the enemy territory.
Although it is only mid-October, there is still a period of time before Gao Huan officially withdraws his troops from Yubi in history, but the serious disturbance in Jinyang and the accidental death of the general and other factors, whether Gao Huan will continue to fight Yubi City, Li Tai is also uncertain.
Fenzhou is also regarded as the front line of resistance to Jihu, in addition to the six-walled city set up close to the mountain passes of Luliang Mountain, there are also a series of garrisons around. The largest of these is Lingzhou in Xicheng, that is, the state rule set up by Cao Ni and Liu Feng, a pair of Weng sons-in-law, who brought the tribal tribes of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.
Through the interrogation of Liu Feng's troops, it was learned that Liu Feng's troops had more than 6,000 people, including the old troops led by him after the death of his father-in-law Cao Ni and the soldiers captured and rewarded by Dongtou over the years, etc., and there were more than 20,000 people in the entire Lingzhou City, who were distributed around Xicheng for a living by farming and grazing.
The scale of such a soldier is not small, no wonder Liu Feng and his people who have invested far away can still mix well in the territory of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, in addition to their personal ability, their own power is also extremely considerable.
Lingzhou City was already on the way back from Li Tai and his party, plus Liu Feng and the main force of his troops had been annihilated, and some of the troops that were still on the front line of Yubi were also far away from quenching their thirst, so such a big piece of fat meat was really not to be missed.
Last night, a battle captured more than 1,000 horses, after deducting some injuries and illnesses, there were still seven or eight hundred, plus the hundreds of horses that had been left in the ministry, and they could form a cavalry brigade of more than 1,000 people.
Because the team carried a large number of old and weak wounded, the speed of the journey was not high, but fortunately, a batch of cars were captured in Pig City, which allowed those veterans to travel by car, for which Li Tai even gave up some of the captured materials.
The other veterans saw this scene in their eyes, and they were also full of gratitude to Li Tai in their hearts. Even if they are their respective masters, they may not be as sympathetic as Li Tai, not to mention the torture of a few years of slave life after being captured, this compassion is simply the brightest light they have seen in their lives.
Therefore, on the way, there are often people who excitedly express their intention to follow Li Kaifu to the death, and Li Tai only smiled at this, but he was a little disapproving.
It's not that I don't think these old pawns are ungrateful, but the kind of high compliance social relations within Beizhen, these people are dead and down, if they are still alive and still in use, if Li Tai detains his subordinates and does not return them, he will make a feud because of this.
So for Li Tai, if these people are willing to remember this kindness and never forget it, he will not save it in vain. As for whether they will join his command, he doesn't care too much, after all, he has a lot of troops now, and if he continues to grow at a high speed, it will inevitably be a bit of a big move.
After these veterans returned to Kansai, if nothing else, most of them would enter the government military system and serve as some grassroots and middle-level military commanders and generals.
In such a harmonious atmosphere, the team finally arrived at Lingzhou City, and at this time, the men and horses led by Zhu Meng had also launched several waves of attacks on the city, but they had little success.
After Li Tai arrived, he did not arrange a siege attack on the city, but only ordered Liu Feng's troops captured last night to be arranged under the city to shout and persuade him to surrender, but the stubborn resistance in the city was still strong.
It wasn't until Liu Feng's body was displayed that the defenders at the head of the city began to riot, and there was no shortage of people holding their heads and crying loudly. It can be seen that Liu Feng has a very high prestige among his subordinates, and when he died, many defenders immediately lost their fighting spirit, and they were only full of grief and fear.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhu Meng led his troops to attack the slightly low southern city gate, and it didn't take long to capture the city gate, and then the army poured in and continued to attack and advance into the city.
