Chapter 435: Fengtian Rebellion against the Northern Expedition
In the fourth year of Yuanhe, on the ninth day of September, the anti-Tang coalition army arrived near Chencang and began to prepare for war.
On September 21, the allied forces, which had made all preparations, officially began to attack the city.
On September 30, the news of the decisive battle of Bianzhou in the Central Plains reached Chencang, and it was learned that the Tang army had completely annihilated the main force of the Hebei rebels in the decisive battle, and the attack of the coalition forces had also entered the final madness.
Without sleep, without stopping, the remaining 100,000 allied troops launched a frantic attack, and the battle came to an abrupt end until the second night of October.
From September 21 to the second day of October, the anti-Tang coalition army attacked Chencang City for 12 days, leaving at least 60,000 corpses under Chencang City, and countless people were wounded.
After stopping the attack, Nima Bazar and Liu Pi left more than 10,000 people behind the palace to prevent the Tang army from pursuing, and the remaining men withdrew overnight.
Nima Bazar and Liu Bi's arrangement can be called safe, but if Zhang Jieyi and Zhang Guangchao knew, they would definitely say with a wry smile that they were too worried.
Although the defending side has a natural advantage, under the ample preparation of the coalition forces, the continuous attacks, and the fearless attachment ants, the losses of the forbidden army are also shocking.
The Yulin Army, Zuo Weiwei, Right Weiwei, Left Leading Guard, and Right Leading Guard, directly killed more than 16,000 people, more than 6,000 seriously wounded, and almost all of the remaining forbidden troops were wounded, and the entire Chencang City almost became a huge field hospital.
Specific to each army, the battle losses of the left and right guards exceeded 30 percent, and the battle losses of the left and right leading guards exceeded 40 percent, all of which have reached the level of breaking their muscles and bones.
As one of the four armies of the Northern Ya, the Yulin Army has a full strength of more than 22,000 people.
However, after experiencing the Chencang Road Resistance Battle, Pei Zhi's division of troops to the Great Earthquake Pass, and the defensive battle of Chencang, including the wounded, the Yulin Army in Chencang City that could pick up arms and fight was only 3,000 people, and even if the 6,000 people taken away by Pei Zhi were added, the Yulin Army only had four adult manpower left at its peak.
Zhang Qiyi, who has been with Li Yu all the year round, is very familiar with the battle reports and battle losses of the forbidden army in the Changying Army, compared with the battle reports of the Changying Army, which often only has single-digit numbers left in the whole company, Zhang Qiyi is not impressed by the battle losses of the various departments in Chencang.
Zhang Jieyi's disapproval does not mean that everyone disagrees, at least Zhang Guangchao, who joined forces with Zhang Jieyi and commanded the entire defensive battle, does not see it this way.
At the fiercest, most frantic, and bloodiest time of the battle, the coalition forces took advantage of their absolute superiority in numbers and launched a wheel warfare-style siege for a full thirty hours in a row.
Even Zhang Jieyi and Zhang Guangchao had to alternate sleeping to ensure that there would be no vacuum in the commanders of Chencang's city defense, let alone ordinary soldiers.
Wheel warfare-style siege, coupled with the possibility of stone bullets from the opponent at every moment, Zhang Jieyi adopted a configuration of light in front and heavy in the rear according to Pei Zhi's reserved defense plan.
Only a limited number of men were placed at the head of the city, and a squad was lost, a squad was replenished, and a platoon was lost......
Zhang Guangchao was very aware of the benefits of this light and heavy configuration left by Pei Zhi, but he still had doubts when he knew the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army.
However, in the face of the swarming enemies from below, the soldiers of the Forbidden Army never showed even the slightest fear.
A squad, a platoon, and even a company, one after another, walked up to the city one after another......
This kind of seeing death as home, this kind of righteousness without hesitation, once again refreshed Zhang Guangchao's three views.
Nima Bazar and Liu Pi reversed course, but their main retreat direction was not Chen Cang Road or Fu Luo Road.
According to the news sent back by the scouts who followed them all the way, the enemy left nearly 10,000 people to prevent being pursued, and then sent nearly 10,000 people back to Dasanguan in Chencang Road, and the remaining nearly 80,000 or 90,000 people moved along Weishui.
Guo Rong clearly remembered that when this coalition army composed of Tubo, Jiannan, and Nanzhao crossed the Dasan Pass, the number of troops was more than 200,000.
[At present, it is the most complete and best app for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it supports offline reading
The elite team has probably reached the limit, and there is a feeling that the end of the strong crossbow cannot wear Lu Min.
If Zhang Qiyi could still have 20,000 more elites on standby, then this team would definitely all die on Chen Cangdao.
However, the battle report received by Guo Rong ended here, and the rest of the situation Guo Rong is unknown.
It's just that although Nima Bazar and Liu Pi's march route was not directly pointed out, from the perspective of moving along Weishui, the goal can and can only be Dasanguan.
Thinking of the Great Dispersion Pass, Guo Rong was still a little worried.
Different from the sheep attack in the west direction of Longxi, the joint army composed of Tubo, Jiannan, and Nanzhao in the south direction of Jiannan, the direction of Longnan in the middle road is the real main direction of the Tubo people, which is the Tubo people in Yishui.
According to the data compiled from the battle report in the direction of Longnan, there were about 200,000 Tubo people on the middle road who initially set off from Liangzhou and Yinzhou.
However, the Tubo people's replenishment of this army has not stopped, and the follow-up soldiers and horses have not been broken.
The Uighurs ended the standoff and retreated from the steppe, freeing at least 30,000 Tibetan cavalry, some of which were added to the west of Longxi, but most of them to the center.
As the war progressed, except for several fortified cities such as Qinzhou, Wuzhou, and Longcheng, all the land of the Tang Dynasty in Longnan fell into the hands of the enemy in name.
The number of Tubo people entering Longnan exceeded 300,000, of which nearly 200,000 were under the Great Earthquake Pass.
If you add Nima Bazar and Liu Pi from the east, Pei Zhi will face an attack by more than 300,000 enemy troops from the east and west defense lines.
If Guo Rong remembers correctly, there were only 10,000 defenders in Dazhen Pass, and Pei Zhi brought about 6,000 Yulin troops, even if there were some scattered people and soldiers who took refuge in Dasan Pass, Pei Zhi's troops would be about 20,000.
With 20,000 soldiers and horses, resisting the attack in the east and west directions, the Dasanguan is really fierce and auspicious, and the slightest carelessness is the death of the pass.
To be honest, Guo Rong really wanted to do something for Pei Zhi, but the earthquake pass was too far away, and Guo Rong himself was really out of reach.
straightened out his thinking, carefully analyzed the battle situation in Guanzhong, Longnan, and Longxi, and then found that the hope of gathering and annihilating the main force of the Tubo people in Guanzhong still existed, which once gave Guo Rong great hope.
It's just that after carefully studying several important time nodes, the smile on Guo Rong's face turned into a wry smile.
Li Chun and the princes of the imperial court were probably keeping an eye on the war in Chen Cang, and as soon as the war in Chen Cang was over, they sent the relevant letters and war reports to themselves.
That is to say, even if Guanzhong really had a chance, they were not ready to think about it, but were ready to stick to the original strategy, defend in the west, and attack in Shandong.
Intellectually, Guo Rong knew that this strategy was the best choice, but emotionally, it was difficult for Guo Rong not to worry about Pei Zhi and the nearly 20,000 soldiers.
After a little hesitation, Guo Rong picked up the pen and wrote down Pei Zhi's only chance to live, and then sent someone to Chang'an urgently.
The Great Earthquake Pass must now be surrounded by the Tubo people on both the eastern and western fronts, and even if they write a letter through conventional means, they may not be able to send it in.
However, the messenger can't get in doesn't mean that no one can get in, after all, there is a precedence in hearing the Tao, there is a specialization in the art industry, and the team in the hands of his daughter-in-law is a hidden master.
After completing the letter that needed to be secretly sent to the Great Earthquake Pass, Guo Rong began to prepare to record this matter and fill it into the reply letter that needed to be written to Li Chun, at this time Guo Rong suddenly remembered that there was still the last private letter from Li Chun that had not been opened.
However, after opening the special iron box and making sure that the sealing wax was not opened, Guo Rong took out the key and gently opened the special copper lock, and a page of letterhead appeared in front of Guo Rong's eyes.
Guo Rong didn't care about it at first, however, after just reading a few words, Guo Rong was stunned.
Because this trace does not belong to Emperor Li Chun, if Guo Rong is allowed to judge, this font is very similar to Liu Zongyuan's handwriting that he saw on the Qinzheng Building of Xingqing Palace in the past.
You must know that Li Chun is not Li Xu, Li Xu, who has just turned thirty, is in quite good health, and he is far from being an old man
Family.
The Emperor Taishang's old man's body does not allow it, so he will find someone to ghostwrite, which is very understandable.
However, it is too abnormal for Liu Zongyuan's handwriting to appear in his private message with Li Chun, is it possible that Han Yue is training recruits and has no time to deal with Liu Zongyuan, and as a result, Liu Zongyuan is bored and tied up Li Chun?
It is obviously impossible to kidnap the ticket, although he didn't figure it out, but Guo Rong didn't stumble, but was ready to continue to look through it, hoping to find out the reason.
It's just that the speed of this search is a little faster, and when I see that the first line represents the title, Guo Rong understands half of it, because this is a proper essay against the back.
"Fengtian's Crusade against the Northern Expedition"
The people of Qilu He, Luo Yanji, Qin, Jin, Wu and Chu said:
What is Hua?
There is the beauty of uniforms, so it is called Hua.
What is Summer?
China has great etiquette, so it is called summer.
Therefore, Huaxia is also a person.
The ancestors held the Ge, overcame the thorns and thorns, and the road was blue, and there was the ambition of China.
Suihuang rises, if he governs; Yu enlightened and inherited, and ruled the world later; Wu Sheng Huashang, Zhou Li Weiwei; There is no one in Zhuhu, and the Han Road is prosperous; Taizong is fierce, and the Tang Dynasty is unparalleled.
Since ancient times, emperors have ruled the world, all of which are in China to control Yidi, and Yidi to serve China, and have not heard of Yidi living in China and controlling the world.
Since the beginning of Anshi, the female cadres are in charge, the country is tilted, and the female cadres want to join the Beidi and the West to enter China, within the four seas, they do not surrender, this is not manpower, it is really a godsend.
At that time, the monarch was bright and good, and the soldiers used their lives to dominate the world, but the external troubles did not stop, and the internal troubles did not stop.
In addition to the eunuch party, Chen Hongzhi, who does not think of grace, dominates the world, conspires against the party, colludes with barbarians, plots against the land of China, poisons the people of China, and intends to cut off the foundation of China.
The wolf's ambition, the former Jiaodong defense envoy Li Shidao, the world received the grace of China, fell into Goguryeo, based on the sea, conspired, stole artifacts, entered the Wa Kingdom, and devoured the Han land, and his wolf ambitions were clearly revealed.
The disciple who forgot his ancestors in the number of classics, Liu Pi, the former Jiannan Jiedu envoy, is a descendant of Chinese Miao, as a feudal minister, he does not want to protect the territory and the people, and benefit the people of Li, so he threw himself into Fanbang, colluded with Tibet, led the wolf into the house, attacked my border pass, and slaughtered Zhongliang.
Lady Monarch, the suzerain of the people; The court is the foundation of the world; Those who are righteous and courteous, the great defense of the world; Han and Tang dynasties, the inheritance of China.
What he does is like that, how can it be trained in the world and future generations!
And its heirs are famine, losing the way of the monarch and ministers, and the prime minister's dictatorship, the constitution and Taiwan revenge, there is a division of poison and abuse, so the people's hearts are rebellious, and the world is in war, so that the people of China, the dead are smeared with liver and brain, and the flesh and blood of the living are not protected.
Gu Yun: "Hu Lu has no luck for a hundred years", and today, it is true!
At this time, the circulation of heavenly fortune, the Central Plains is vigorous, and among the billions of trillions, when a saint is born, the Hu Lu is expelled, China is restored, Chen Ji is established, and the people are relieved.
In this era, I have not heard of anyone who governs the world and the people, and the envoys are trembling, and they are in the land of the twilight of the Qin Dynasty, and they can be honest.
The oath of the emperor, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies.
Liu Pi's disciples, colluding with the barbarians, secretly Chen Cang, night raids and scattered passes, King Li was killed in battle, and 6,000 soldiers were martyred.
The first emperor took his body as a banner and led the army to attack, and the battle of Chen Cangdao destroyed his ambition and destroyed his edge; The first emperor was martyred, and he fought in Chencang, the generals worked together, and the soldiers used their lives to protect the glory of my Tang Dynasty.
The first emperor once said that all the children of my clan, those who have no military merits are not allowed to be crowned kings, not to attack knights, and not to enter the ancestral hall to be worshiped by their descendants!
I am a disciple of the Li family of Longyou, and I should take the words of the emperor and take the lead.
Since the Anshi Rebellion, although there are several heroes in the land of Hebei, they forget the surname of their ancestors in China, but they take the name of Hulu birds and beasts, thinking that they are good, and the name of the fake Qing Jun is used for personal gain, and the people are relying on the people to ask for the king, relying on the mausoleum to dominate the court, and when the Tang Dynasty is in danger, he does not think about protecting the country, but does rebellious things in the name of the Qing Jun.
In the west, the emperor guarded Sheji, and in the east, the crown prince Li Heng, and the general Guo Rong commanded the army to break it
Pioneer, ruining its sharpness.
Now, the people are a little safe, the food is a little sufficient, the soldiers are a little fine, the control is lost, and the people of the Central Plains have been looking at me for a long time, and they are deeply guilty.
I respectfully accept the mandate of heaven, dare to be at ease, and want to lead the troops to the north, save the people from the charcoal, restore the prestige of the Han court, and make the Chinese golden ou perfect.
Worried that the people do not know, but for me, the family went north, and was still drowning, so the prophet announced:
When the soldiers arrive, the people do not avoid them. My orders are serious, there is no offense, those who belong to me will always be in China, and those who carry me will run outside the fortress.
Cover my Chinese people, and heaven will order my Chinese people to be safe, and how can the rebels be governed!
I am afraid that the Middle Earth will be filthy and bloody for a long time, and the people will be disturbed, so I will lead the heroes to work hard to clear up, aiming to rebel against the party, remove the separation, so that the people can get their place, snow the shame of China, restore the health of China, and the people of their bodies!
Heaven has the virtue of a good life, Huaxia is the state of etiquette, the Han and Tang Dynasties are the place of loyalty, from the rebels, there are those who can know etiquette and righteousness, awaken to the truth, and are willing to be subjects, atone for their crimes, can be the good people of the Han Dynasty, I promise it.
The Han general once said that it is advisable to hang his head between the barbarian mansions on the street to show that those who commit crimes against the strong men will be punished even if they are far away!
Today, I Fengtian rebelled, the first expedition to Hebei, the second into Liaodong, he waved his army to the west, restored the prosperity of my Tang Dynasty, and created the glory of my China.
Therefore, I would like to inform you that it is advisable to know.
