Chapter 181: Don't Go Too Far

Lanzhou City soon ended the suffering, more than 50,000 Tuyuhun defenders were all shot or died under artillery fire by the black army, and the people who died in the hands of the black army did not count more than 70,000 people, a more than 200,000 Lanzhou City was almost slaughtered by Li Yong into a ghost town, and Li Jing's army happened before it arrived at Tonggu Pass, and the Tang army still knew nothing, Li Yong and they lived directly in Lanzhou City, and then notified the fleet to transport and replenish ammunition.

"Fu Yun soon knew that we had attacked Lanzhou City, and we will rush to Hezhou tomorrow, and when the time comes, we will entertain the army of our Tuyuhun lord."

Indeed, the distress letter from Lanzhou City was already on the way to the royal court of Fu Yun, but he had only left for a day, their Lanzhou was finished, the fleet unloaded the materials and ammunition in the ship, and then led it away by the logistics support force, and the battleships that had been empty left Tuyuhun and returned to Weishui Wharf, because they wanted to replenish supplies and ammunition, just today, the black army took off one-third of the shells brought this time, and the situation of the infantry was fine, mainly because the consumption of artillery was too large, and it was really a cannon with a golden tael, this is not a joke, Even if Li Yong has such an economic foundation, he can only barely support so many artillery, and he can't bear it anymore, at least it is possible to increase when the sea trade is completely on the right track, but with the current strength of the black army, Li Yong has no intention of continuing to expand, because he is not a person who rebels against the emperor, he just simply has an army in his hands to do dirty work for the Tang Dynasty, after all, their black army does not have so many moral kidnappings, they are all Han supreme troops, as for the foreign people, they will not violate them after the war, Only at the beginning of the war, it will be considered a threat to the army, to put it bluntly, that is, when the black army enters the city, hold your head in your hands, and you will be fine, but the people of Tuyuhun in Lanzhou City don't know, so they were slaughtered by the black army. The next day, after the black army replenished ammunition and supplies, it left Lanzhou City directly, the whereabouts are unknown, leaving only the dilapidated Lanzhou City, because of the artillery, the black army's marching speed is not very fast, fortunately it is in Lanzhou City to deliver a large number of horses, so that there are livestock to pull these heavy artillery, and a large number of ammunition and materials, otherwise the march speed is even slower, when they arrive at the second city of Hezhou City, it is already four days later, if you change to cavalry one day, it will arrive, The news of the loss of Lanzhou City and the slaughter of the city has spread all over Hezhou City, a large number of Tuyuhun people began to flee, everyone dares to face this terrible army, the defenders of Hezhou City also continue to have soldiers fleeing, the city defender will not be able to catch it, because he wants to Lanzhou City such a strong city also held on for a day, Hezhou City is estimated to be finished in half a day, so the Lord of Hezhou City will send a messenger to find Li Yong, hoping that Li Yong will not attack Hezhou, let go of the people of Hezhou, in exchange for the head of the messenger and Li Yong's own letter, The above content is written in Tuyuhun script, which means that they are not allowed to surrender, and the chief general of Hezhou tore Li Yong's cronies like crazy.

"Demon, don't go too far, it's a big deal that we're dead."

But they all know that the fish die does not necessarily break the net, they are those fish, and the black army is the huge net, before they escaped, Li Yong's black army has arrived outside the city of Hezhou, this time Li Yong surrounded the city of Hezhou, and did not give them a chance to escape at all, twenty twenty-pounder guns were placed in four directions, ten thirty-pounder heavy guns were concentrated in the north gate, that is, the main direction of attack of the black army, 10,000 infantry was split into four parts, and each gate was arranged with two thousand, Out of the north gate of the layout of four thousand, the lord of Hezhou City saw Li Yong's arrangement, he wanted to lead the troops to take the initiative to attack the past, but his Hezhou City is not Lanzhou City, he only has a poor more than 10,000 soldiers here, if he is ambushed, it will be over directly, although the people who escaped from Lanzhou City told him about the attack of the black army, but it is not detailed enough, and the main general does not believe that it is difficult for his more than 10,000 soldiers to hold the four city gates, but he is relieved to see that Li Yong's army has no siege equipment, His troops were mainly deployed at the north gate, because he also saw that Li Yong's main attack direction was on this side, but when all the artillery fired at his Hezhou City, he knew why Lanzhou was such a strong city why he couldn't stand it, his Hezhou City wall was not as strong and tall as Lanzhou City, and one by one solid cannonballs smashed into the city wall, all cracks were cracked, and those thunderous loud noises were like death sounding their death knell sounds, and the walls of Hezhou City were bombarded for more than three quarters of an hour for nearly half an hour. The walls on all sides collapsed, and the soldiers who couldn't escape were buried alive in the rubble, and the walls were blasted open and they thought the black army would rush in? He had the same idea as the commander of Lanzhou City, and then the real shelling began, the shells from the four directions of the southeast, west, and west crossed the city wall, smashed into the city, and then exploded in the air or on the ground, especially the thirty-pound heavy shells directly smashed through the house and exploded in the house, and the people hiding in the house were blown to pieces directly with the house, and the lord of Hezhou knelt on the ground weakly, watching the continuous explosions in the city, and those people and soldiers running around were to no avail, and the exploding shells exploded between and around them, Stumps and corpses are all over the city, what is a river of blood is like this, the iron-clad man shed tears at this time, screaming to the sky.

"Fu Yun, Murong Fu Yun, you have brought us Tuyuhun people into the abyss, you are the sinner of Tuyuhun people."

After speaking, he wiped his neck and committed suicide, the main general was dead, the dragons in Hezhou City were leaderless, they wanted to surrender, and the white flags were raised, but those demonic black troops didn't pay attention to it at all, and they continued to bombard, and after half an hour of artillery shelling, Li Yong issued an order for a ceasefire.

"Let the artillery rest, the infantry enter the city, and the order of Lanzhou City is the same, all the Tuyuhun soldiers are killed, and the Tuyuhun who thinks there is a threat can be shot, and the gendarmes follow, and it is forbidden to slaughter the people who are not threatened."

After receiving Li Yong's order, the artillery on all sides gradually ceased firing, and after the last shell exploded in the city, the infantry in the four directions began to move, but at this time there were still people in Hezhou City who resisted, and the black army did not receive any resistance to enter Hezhou City, they searched everywhere for Tuyuhun soldiers, and once they found that they were shot and killed, they didn't care whether they surrendered or not, and the gendarmes who could speak Tuyuhun began to shout.

"Hand over the soldier and squat down with his head in his hands."

Those surviving Tuyuhun people dared to be disobedient, and squatted in place with their heads in their hands, trembling as they watched those black armor demons wearing airtight armor walk by, and the sound of gunshots frightened them all over their bodies and even incontinent, one after another Tuyuhun soldiers who hid were pulled out and shot, even if the soldiers who were taken off their armor and hid among the people were also reported by their direct compatriots, because the black army asked them to report, if they were found to be Tuyuhun soldiers, then they would receive a joint seat and be shot together, Therefore, although those soldiers who took off their armor still could not escape the capture of the black army, and then were escorted to the execution ground by the black army, ten people were shot in a row, and none of the more than 10,000 defenders of Hezhou City were spared, and half of the Tuyuhun people in Hezhou were also killed in the artillery fire.

"We are not far from Weizhou here, and the imperial court will receive news soon, so I can't stay in Hezhou for too long, change the plan, and march to Fu Yun's royal court Shancheng, intelligence shows that Fu Yun's 100,000 army has arrived in Huangshui City, we will eat these 100,000 troops, and then attack their royal court, and end the battlefield war as soon as possible, because Lu Dongzan of Tubo is not honest, and he will definitely attack Fuzhou and Songzhou, so after I slaughter Fu Yun, the rest will be handed over to the imperial army, they can't come and do nothing, After cleaning up Tuyuhun, we moved to Tubo, wiped out Lu Dongzan's 150,000 army, and deterred those other countries that were ready to move, as long as they dared to move, we dared to destroy. ”

After Li Yong read the intelligence of the Intelligence Bureau, he made operational adjustments, in these years, the peace messenger has infiltrated Tuyuhun into a thousand holes, there are no secrets at all, Li Yong wants to know anything at the first time, the war is an information war, whoever has more information, the more beneficial it will be to whom, Li Yong's black army is repairing in Hezhou, because they are now a little far away from supplies, so they need time to replenish more ammunition and materials in order to better carry out the next battle. The news of the destruction of Lanzhou City and Hezhou City soon spread to Huangshui and Shancheng, this time Fu Yun was afraid, he also paid the price for his greed, and the 100,000 troops stationed in Huangshui also stopped marching, because it was useless for them to go to Lanzhou City at this time, let alone to recover the few cities occupied by the Tang Dynasty in Weizhou, even if they made a detour and lost Lanzhou and Hezhou, they would be cut off at any time and surrounded and eaten by the Black Army and the Tang Army, and Weizhou also received the news of the scouts, and Hezhou City was broken by a mysterious army, More than 10,000 Tuyuhun defenders in the city were all annihilated, the city was in ruins, and more than half of the people in the city were killed or wounded, but the specific details of the battle and the opponent's strength were not known, the governor of Weizhou hurriedly reported to Li Daoyan, the governor of Minzhou, and then the news was transferred back to Tonggu Pass, at this time Li Jing's army also arrived at Tonggu Pass, Li Jing saw the military report of Li Daoyan, the governor of Minzhou, his brain began to hurt, others don't know who this mysterious army is, he is clear, who else is besides Li Yong, he has seen it when he was in the Turks, The black plague is not a joke, especially when I saw that more than 30,000 Tuyuhun soldiers in Lanzhou City were slaughtered, there were only 100,000 people left in Lanzhou, and a big city of more than 200,000 people was destroyed by him, and there was Hezhou City that ended before, with more than 10,000 soldiers and half of the people.

"Bastard boy, don't go too far, you do this, what will we do with our face?"

Li Jing sighed, and then asked people to send this military report to Chang'an, and Li Yong in Hezhou City suddenly sneezed, thinking to himself who is scolding me, after the supply and repair of ammunition and materials, the black army came to leave Hezhou City again and marched towards Huangshui, where they want to wipe out Fu Yun's 100,000 army, only by eliminating Fu Yun's living force, can it be regarded as defeating these nomads, Tuyuhun is composed of more than a dozen tribes of all sizes such as Qibi and Dangxiang, according to normal history, Li Er wanted Fu Yun to come to Chang'an at that time, also promised to marry a princess to him, but this thing was unwilling to live or die, and said that he couldn't come to illness, and then he also caught the messenger sent by Li Er, and finally Li Er couldn't bear it, with the assistance of the two largest tribes of Qibi and Dangxiang, with the help of Duan Zhixuan, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, and Fan Xing, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, as the head of the march of Chishui Road, led the Tang army to crusade against Fu Yun, and when Duan Zhixuan achieved a small success, Fu Yun's army began to avoid the Tang army and refused to fight with the Tang army, Duan Zhixuan was also burned by Fu Yun to burn the grass and escaped, Duan Zhixuan had no choice but to retreat with the Tang army, but after the Tang army retreated, Fu Yun attacked Liangzhou and properly looked for death, so Li Er had to send Li Jing, the god of the Tang Dynasty, to clean him up, and now history is a mess of Li Yong, Duan Zhixuan is still counting money in Chang'an City, and Li Jing has just arrived at Tonggu Pass, what is this, those generals who can finally come out to fight a battle all hate Li Yong to death, although they don't know that this black army is Li Yong's, but what the black army does is to smash their jobs, Before they performed, the war was almost over, and they were still playing with wool, so Li Jing had to hold the first meeting of all the generals to discuss how to fight next, because the black army had turned Tuyuhun upside down, and most of Li Jing's subordinates thought that it was an adventure to carry out an expedition without enough grass and materials, because no one knew whether the black army was friend or foe, and if the time came to attack them with the Tuyuhun people, it would be dangerous, and now this situation, As long as they occupy Hezhou and Lanzhou, it is a good record, there is no need to take risks, and they all said that they would withdraw their troops, but Hou Junji objected.

"I agree, this time to send troops to Tuyuhun, the sage means to destroy Tuyuhun, just take the ruined Lanzhou City and Hezhou City, not only make the world laugh, saying that we only know how to pick up ready-made, I can't afford to lose this face, and the face of the generals of the Tang Dynasty can't afford to lose it, and this is also an opportunity, there is a foreign army of the Black Army dragging Fu Yun's large army, we can take the opportunity to destroy Tuyuhun."

Hou Junji pointed out that this was an opportunity to destroy Tuyuhun, and Li Jing also agreed with Hou Junji's opinion, because this time was indeed an opportunity, and this opportunity was rare, so he adopted Hou Junji's strategy and divided the army into two branches, he himself and Xue Wanjun and Li Daliang attacked the northwest, and Hou Junji and Li Daozong attacked the southwest to outflank Fu Yun, Li Yong didn't know about Li Jing's division of troops, and even if he knew, it didn't matter, because his purpose was to eliminate most of Fu Yun's troops, and then capture Fu Yun and use his head to avenge his dead subordinates, Let everyone in the sky know that if you dare to move the black army, you will have to suffer the consequences that they can't bear, and the first negative teaching material is that he Fu Yun.

"Stinky boy, congratulations, you've become the acting platoon leader, aren't you injured?"

"Commander, don't make fun of me, do you have any tasks for me when you come to me?"

Cheng Chuliang stared at Xi Junmai, his eyes were glowing green like a wolf, and Xi Junmai gave him a chestnut directly.

"I know the tasks all day long, where are there so many tasks, there are two battles, and the elder brother can't look at your younger brother?"

"Hey~"

Cheng Chuliang touched the head that had been knocked by Xi Junmai and smirked, after he came to Xishan and joined the Xishan camp, he found that this place was not only as beautiful as his eldest brother Li Tiezhu said, but also a place he liked.

"What do you think of these two battles?"

Xi Junmai handed him a canned beef and said.

"It's even more cruel than I thought."

Cheng Chuliang didn't open the canned beef, but answered the question of Xi Jun's purchase very seriously.

"I joined the Black Army after going through the Turkic campaign, when those veterans mentioned the battle of that year to me, I didn't understand, and I didn't understand, why should I be so cruel to those aliens, they are also human beings with us, and then when I saw the dense martyrs' tombstones in the martyrs' cemetery, I understood a little, and then when I led the team to fight in various countries, I understood a little more, until Brother Tiezhu sacrificed, I completely understood, non-my race, its heart must be different, do you know what the commander's famous words are?"

Cheng Chuliang shook his head and said he didn't know, Xi Junmai took a bite of the compressed biscuit and said.

"Only dead aliens are good aliens."

After speaking, he left while eating this compressed biscuit, Cheng Chuliang also took a bite of the compressed biscuit, reminiscing about this sentence that only dead aliens are good aliens, although it sounds cruel, but on the battlefield, soft-heartedness will only bring death to himself and his comrades, he took the canned beef that Xi Jun bought for him and left, saw his platoon, and threw it to them to fight tooth sacrifices, he didn't feel guilty about those dead Tuyuhun people, but felt that what Li Yong said was very reasonable, what the black army represented, expressing invincibility, It expresses death, so all enemies who stand in their way are torn to shreds by them. The black army continued to march towards Huangshui, and the members of the special combat team of the ghost special operations team began to infiltrate behind enemy lines to collect information about Huangshui, and in the existing information of the intelligence bureau, Li Yong looked at the map and pondered.

"Commander, this bone is not easy to gnaw."

"Well, Huangshui City is second only to Shancheng and Lanzhou City, the city is tall and strong, and the defenders already have 50,000, plus these 100,000, it will reach 150,000, if you count the more than 100,000 people in the city, it is estimated that there are 200,000 troops in battle, and they have already prepared, a little tricky."

Li Yong touched his smooth chin and said.

"We have to think of a way to get the best of both worlds, because we are getting farther and farther away from supplies, even if we finish fighting Huangshui City, then it will be even more difficult for us to defeat Fu Yun's royal court, and as time goes by, Fu Yun will gather more troops, which will be more unfavorable to us, and even we have to prevent Fu Yun from escaping."

Xue Rengui's analysis is also what Li Yong is worried about, if Fu Yun runs away, then the purpose of their coming this time will be in vain, so to prevent this, Li Yong kept thinking about various possibilities, and then put them together, and a new style of play was slowly formed in his mind.
