Chapter 998: A Helpless Expedition

On the twelfth day of the winter month, the headquarters of Qin Yude of the Pingtian Army finally officially arrived at the city of Liangzhou.

This time to attack Liangzhou, Qin Yude also had to come.

As Sun Ning and the ministers said a few days ago, at this point, in order to win back Luoyang Zhao Guangxiao's trust in him, he can only keep moving forward.

Since Nanyang was taken down almost without bloodshed, and you said that there was something wrong with it, then I will continue to move forward and take down more cities that originally belonged to the Dayue Imperial Court one by one, until you believe that I have not colluded with it.

Of course, this is only one of the reasons why Qin Yude led his army all the way to the west and almost destroyed half of the original Liangzhou Guo clan's territory.

Another reason is that the soldiers under his command have already become more and more eager to fight in one big victory after another, and they want to establish greater achievements. As a result, he, as the commander and the head of the Grand Governor, was pushed by the people below, all the way from Nanyang to Liangzhou City.

After taking Nanyang City, they attacked the city all the way, and won more than ten large and small cities in a row, so as to make the best use of the city's property, grain and grass, so that the morale of the whole army reached a high point.

This made the generals even when they saw the Liangzhou city wall, which was far more majestic and towering than Nanyang, and did not see the slightest timidity, but they were all eager to try, scrambling to be the first, and they wanted to fight and attack the city.

"The Metropolitan Governor also asks us to take our department as the vanguard, and dare to use the head of the Xiang Shang as a guarantee, and within three days, we will be able to take the city!"

"The Metropolitan Governor, please use my department, I only need two days!"

"Dadu Governor, in the opinion of the last general, our army has enough soldiers and horses, so it is better to surround the city on all sides and attack the city together. In this way, this small Liangzhou city is bound to fall overnight. ”

"Metropolitan Governor, I also thought that we should attack with all our might, maybe this city will also be like the previous Nanyang and other cities, the interior will collapse, and we will take it down at the lowest cost!"

Faced with this general, who was more confident than the other, and believed that Liangzhou in front of him could easily take over, Qin Yude somehow felt a strong uneasiness in his heart.

This kind of expression of the whole army being determined to win without the slightest sense of danger is really a kind of precursor to the defeat of the arrogant army.

But he also knows that at this time, it is useless to emphasize that everyone should be cautious and be careful of fraud.

The previous victories one after another had already made these soldiers of the Pingtian Army have a strong contempt for the Vietnamese army, and they felt that the defenders here were nothing more than that.

And the spirit of the army can not be discharged, for the next siege battle, he must also try his best to mobilize everyone's fighting spirit.

With his mind set, Qin Yude had already spoken: "The generals are eager to fight, and the governor of Bendu naturally sees it in his eyes. This Liangzhou is bound to become the bag of our army.

"However, after all, our army has come from far away against the wind, and its military strength has not recovered, and if it rushes into an all-out attack, it will eventually increase casualties. Therefore, my intention is to send an army first as a temptation, not to make immediate contributions, just to find out the reality of the defenders in the city, and then two or three days later, and then go all out to attack the city! ”

These words are naturally just, even if these generals are arrogant and arrogant, they can only be called yes. Then, everyone stared at him expectantly, just to get the chance to fight first.

In the longing eyes of his subordinates, Qin Yude finally fell on a forty-year-old general who looked the most low-key: "Pang Tai-"

"The last general!"

"I know that you have always been steady, and today you have a great responsibility to attack the city, you must first explore the reality in the city, and everything will be handed over to you!"

Pang Tai suddenly turned a straight color, and promised with his crossed hands: "The last general will obey the order, and he will live up to the trust of the metropolitan governor!" ”

The others either unexpectedly or enviously looked at Pang Tai, who had received the military order and quickly went to mobilize the troops and horses of the headquarters to prepare for the siege of Pang Tai, and they talked endlessly for a while.

And Pang Tai ordered his troops and horses out of the camp, and did not say much, only let himself pull up the two generals Zhao Hui and Sun Dezhong each led 1,000 people, and attacked Liangzhou City from the north and south, while he himself led the remaining 2,000 people to guard in front of the camp and watch the battle.

On this winter moon's afternoon, the battle is on the verge of breaking out.

To the surprise of Pang Tai and many generals in the rear, including Qin Yude, the commander, this time, before their soldiers and horses approached the city, the north and south gates of Liangzhou were quickly opened, and the two generals had already led their own troops and rushed out.

The other party had already prepared, and even the troops were properly arranged, and it was also a thousand against a thousand, and they fought with the vanguard of the Pingtian Army outside the city.

In the eyes of the generals in the battalion, this is naturally a battle without any suspense.

You must know that they came all the way before, almost invincible, and those defenders were vulnerable even with the city as their backing, not to mention that now they directly gave up this biggest advantage and took the initiative to kill the generals.

In the sound of drums, all the generals had a guess that maybe this battle would be able to break their army head-on and go straight to Liangzhou in one go.

"It's a pity, this credit was actually given by Pang Tai, this is Liangzhou City!" Someone sighed like this, with a look of chagrin.

Everyone else thought the same way, and deeply regretted that they had missed the opportunity.

It seems that in their eyes, the 2,000 soldiers and horses killed are really like chickens and dogs.

But obviously, these two thousand officers and soldiers didn't think so, they were all energetic and murderous, like a group of tigers and wolves that had been hungry for a long time, and they brazenly pounced on the vanguard of the Pingtian Army, which was also amazing.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides officially collided in one place, hundreds of cavalry in front rushed through, and the infantry phalanx in the rear quickly pressed in and followed, so as to suppress, divide, and then mercilessly slaughter some of the enemies who were scattered in formation.

Yes, the battle was quickly decided as soon as the battle opened.

And the one who was about to collapse at the first touch, and then could only turn around and flee for his life, but could not escape the enemy army that came up quickly, was actually the Pingtian Army that was recognized as able to win in one fell swoop.

The sound of drums, killings, and screams, mixed with the sound of the wind, dispersed in all directions, invading the ears of the soldiers watching the battle in each battalion.

And their eyes also saw this incredible scene with their own eyes, seeing that the vanguard of two thousand was destroyed in an instant, and the defenders who went out of the city to fight quickly assembled, and then shouted again, killing Pang Tai's subordinates who had been stunned for a long time.

In the second battle, Pang Tai's 2,000 troops were also quickly defeated, and Queen Cang retreated, suffering heavy casualties......

Until this final result appeared, and the camp came down from Qin Yude, everyone was still stupidly stunned, unable to say a word, and there was no reaction.

All this started and implemented too quickly, and the time was too short, completely killing everyone by surprise!

Some people died, but not completely......
