"Dutong, this city has no food and no food, and it is already a dead land! It must be impossible to hold it! Besides, we have lost too many men and horses, and the defenders of the city will die! For now, we can only retreat through the city gates......" one of the guards boldly bowed his hand.

The soldiers only have the desire to survive in their eyes, but why is Pan Chongche not like this? But he understands very well that no matter which city gate he retreats from, there is almost no way to live, the Wuping army blocked the way to the south, to the north is Chudi, to the west is Xizhou, what is the point of the lonely army without food is nothing more than a dying struggle for a day or two?

As for the waterway at the east gate, as long as you successfully cross the Yuanshui, you can make a detour to the south, but who can guarantee that the Wuping army that darkened Chencang from the waterway last night will not prepare an ambush army by the river? What's more, there are only dozens of small boats on the bank of the river, where can they carry more than 6,000 people?

Pan Chongche hesitated so much that he subconsciously wanted to call the general next to him to come up with a few ideas, and when he came back to his senses, he found that they were no longer around. The cavalry of the Wuping Army in front of him had begun to slowly move and sweep the formation, and the formation of the infantry army attacking the city was pressing over like a dark cloud, and he could no longer think too much.

"What's your name?" Pan Chongche suddenly tilted his head, and a pair of sharp eyes looked at the guard who had just retreated.

The guard swallowed his saliva apprehensively, and hurriedly arched his hand: "Back to the capital, the villain's name is Liu Yong!" ”

"Good! is still the royal surname, and he is even braver! Pan Chongche nodded as if he was serious, and then ordered in a deep voice: "Liu Yong, Pontus will immediately promote you to be the commander of the front army!" From now on, you are the defender of Chenzhou! Pontus will give you 5,000 elite soldiers, and quickly cover the retreat of Pontus and his pro-army battalion from the East Gate waterway! ”

Liu Yong, the new "former army commander" who was named by name, suddenly looked like ashes, and suddenly rose several levels without the slightest joy, and he had never regretted his words so much in his life. Sure enough, there is no good thing about pie in the sky, after the leader of the troops is broken, it is obvious that he will be cannon fodder, and he thought that as the personal guard of the coach Pan Chongche, he might be able to survive, but it seems that he will definitely die......

In the end, the Wuping army under the city still launched a charge, and more than 10,000 men and horses and black clouds overwhelmed the city, and in fact, according to the current situation in Chenzhou City, not to mention more than 10,000 people, it was 3,000 elite soldiers who charged to attack the city, and the Han army, which was disheartened at this time, was enough to resist.

Pan Chongche immediately issued an order to retreat, and the unfortunate Liu Yong Liu commander had to lead 5,000 death squads to break the rear, and this kind of death squad occupied more than eighty percent of the whole army, which was rare in previous battles, and the sparse bows and arrows on the head of the city only brought two or three hundred kills to the Wuping army.

At the east gate of Chenzhou City, when Pan Chongche was hurriedly leading the army to board the boat, the cavalry of Wang Changgeng, a veteran of the Wuping Army, had already taken the lead in rushing in from the south gate, followed by a one-sided massacre. After more than 5,000 breaks, the Han soldiers did not even last for half an hour, and they had already scattered and fled.

Liu Yong, the cannon fodder general, was also shrewd, and when he saw the drawbridge under the city fall violently, he had already cleverly led dozens of soldiers around him to abandon their blades and wait on their knees to welcome the arrival of Wang Shi.

......

On August 14, the 10th year of Baoda, the left vanguard of the Southern Tang Dynasty expedition to the south of the camp Chai Kewu lived up to expectations, defeated the "strange soldiers" personally led by Pan Chongche, the first general of the Han State in Chenzhou, the battle of more than 15,000 Han troops, only the commander Pan Chongche and more than 1,000 personal guards escaped from the waterway, most of the rest were killed, and more than 3,000 enemy soldiers were captured.

This key victory not only blocked Pan Chongche's attempt to attack Langzhou, but also meant that the Wuping army was no longer in the embarrassing situation of fighting on two fronts, and the next battle of Yiyang was the most critical battle between the Han and Tang dynasties at this time, which may directly determine the future ownership of Chudi.

At this time, Xie Gui, the chief general who commanded the 30,000 Han troops outside Yiyang City, obviously had no idea about the battle in Chenzhou, which was hundreds of miles away, but his mind could not take care of it so far. Yesterday's scout's report shocked him, and a Wuping army was coming quickly in the north of Yiyang City, and a team of no less than 10,000 people, as well as horses and vehicles, rolled out of the mountain road in the rugged area, and drove out of the mountain road.

It is worth noting that the Wuping army's bright and flickering Chinese army has already indicated that the rumored famous general Li Yuanzheng personally led the army to come, which caught Xie Gui off guard, but as a deputy general personally recommended by Pan Chongche, he quickly calmed down again, and he did not lose confidence after many victories since he set out on the expedition.

According to the previous battle report, Xie Gui firmly believed that since the army under Li Yuan's command had just returned from Xizhou, why was Dongxi a dangerous place, then as a tired army, the combat strength would definitely be greatly reduced.

Although the Han army outside Yiyang City also besieged the city for many days, and suffered from the stubborn resistance of the defenders in the city, causing the soldiers to be also tired, compared with the barren land where poisonous miasma and insect and animal diseases were rampant, the situation in Chu was obviously much better......

All in all, in the face of the arrival of Li Yuan's army, Xie Gui finally came up with a strategy, except for some small changes, it is almost the same as the original, it is still at any cost to attack Yiyang, if you can get lucky, the door of Langzhou will be opened, if you enter the stalemate, you can also contain a large amount of military strength of Wuping, no matter what, you must buy time for the strategy of the Dutong Pan Chongche's secret Chenzhou to attack Langzhou.

In fact, since Yiyang City is the gateway to the south of Langzhou, and the location is so dangerous that it is impossible for Li Yuan not to come to the rescue, then Xie Gui's soldiers and horses will inevitably have to fight to the death with the main force of the Wuping Army under Li Yuan's command in the end, and it is not a big deal to meet in advance. And Xie Gui had already learned from last night's intelligence that Li Yuan's troops to help this time were actually not as many as he imagined.

Xie Gui didn't think about it, maybe this famous Li Yuan had already deduced Pan Chongche's intentions, and in order to prevent a sneak attack, he had distributed his limited forces on the east and west lines, so that although Chenzhou City had the strength to defend, the pressure on Yiyang City naturally increased dramatically. This is the fatal part of the two-line defense, and it is easy to lose sight of one or the other.

Therefore, even if Li Yuan personally led the army, the so-called clever woman could not cook without rice, and how could the naked gap in the number of people be easily made up? Recently, the defenders in the city of Riyang are certainly annoying, but for the Han army, they only hurt the flesh and bones, and now the Han army still has an absolute advantage in strength, and can still organize a fierce siege.

On the afternoon of the 14th, Xie Gui, the commander of the Han army, concentrated all the war horses of the whole army, sent hundreds of light cavalry scouts, and rushed to the hundreds of paces below Yiyang City to cruise back and forth to test the reaction of the defenders in the city.

At dusk, all the soldiers and horses of the Han army moved towards the north of Yiyang City with great fanfare, and then they were very arrogant, deliberately setting up camp at the mountain pass directly opposite it in front of the camp that came to aid the Wuping army. Soon, a large camp that stretched for two or three miles had already taken shape, and the land with its back against the hillside was also magnificent.

At night, the blue elephant banner and the Xie character general flag of the Han giant elephant army were raised in each camp, and the whole camp flag fluttered and was very lively.

At dawn on the 15th, nearly 500 siege vehicles were assembled and lined up in front of the Han army's camp. A hundred crossbows were also lined up. These are all important equipment used in the recent siege of the city, and at this time, they were deliberately placed in a conspicuous position in the camp, so they were naturally deliberately placed for the Wuping army on the opposite hill to see.

Most of the soldiers of the Han army are full of confidence, these are invincible killing weapons that our dynasty is invincible, seeing such a posture, it must be a great shock to the Tang people on the opposite side, if they can make them cowardly before fighting, it is naturally the best ......
