Can't wait any longer

Tear your face, and you won't be so particular.

Li Ye issued an edict to remove Zhu Wenliang from the title of king, withdraw the name given by the first emperor, call him a thief of Huangchao, and call on the feudal towns of the world to discuss it, but Liang will change his mind, and the court will not blame the past.

The edict was sent to Chang'an, copied into a newspaper and pasted on the gate of the imperial city.

But all the slightly larger forces in the world have mansions in Chang'an. Li Ye also shot the edict across the river.

The effects came out quickly.

The next day, the Liang army began to cross the river, with the Liang archers in front and hundreds of catapults behind, arrows like flying locusts and stones raining down, attacking the Tang army along the river, as well as the Tang army camp farther away.

In an instant, several camps of the Tang army to the east were smashed and destroyed by stones.

The soldiers and civilians in the river were driven into the river and pontoon bridges were erected.

There were even Liang soldiers who pushed out hundreds of sampans and rushed out of the river like a swarm of bees.

When the river was densely packed with people, the Tang army's catapults and bows and arrows began to wield.

With a large-scale covering attack, the Liang army suffered quite a lot of casualties in the river, but they still rushed to the west bank without hesitation.

The Hezhong army and the people did not have such a tenacious fighting spirit, and took advantage of the chaos of the Liang army to crawl back to the east bank, but they were ruthlessly slashed and killed by the Liang army's warlord.

The crying was earth-shattering and miserable.

The pontoon bridge that had just been erected was smashed by catapults.

With the Yellow River, the Liang army's strength advantage could not be expanded, and the Liang army, which crossed the river in small quantities, was also within the attack range of catapults and bows and arrows.

From the time the sun just rose until noon, most of the Liang army was unable to cross the river.

The pontoon bridge was laid a dozen times, all of which were destroyed.

Except for the initial injuries of the Tang army by catapults and bows and arrows, the subsequent battles were basically long-range attacks from both sides. However, most of the antlers erected by the Tang army on the west bank were smashed by catapults.

The Liang army's river-crossing troops almost never returned, and even if they crossed the river, they were faced with dense pits and mires, making it difficult to walk, and they were harvested by catapults.

The heaviest casualties were the Hezhong army and the people, these people were all the people in the river captured by Zhu Wen's army along the way, sandwiched between the two armies, unable to advance or retreat.

The war was repeated for the next two days.

The Tang army suffered serious losses in bows and arrows, but there were many stones.

Li Ye mobilized the people of Tongzhou, and stones were continuously transported to the front line from the rear.

Commanding such a large army to fight, Li Ye is a layman, so he can only let Zhou Yunyi and Li Juchuan accompany him and give advice.

Exempt from the trick of Prince Zhu Wen, and there will be no effect in a short period of time.

In fact, several generals under Zhu Wen were all separated from Huangchao, and the other generals were also Zhu Wen's wise talents, promoted from the bottom, and were loyal to Zhu Wen, and then there was the surrender force of Qin Zongquan, of course, they would not betray Zhu Wen because of an edict from the Tang court.

Besides, Tang Ting also has such a big face.

Maybe there are people in Bianzhou who have Tang Ting in mind, but now that Zhu Wen is in full swing, no one dares to come forward.

In that year, Zhang Jun led 100,000 Shence troops to attack Li Keyong, and Zhaozong also deprived Li Keyong of various titles, took away his Jin Wangjue, exempted him from the envoy of the river festival, and even removed him from the clan, but with Li Keyong's military victories, everything was useless.

In any troubled era, all politics is a continuation of war, and the strength of war determines everything.

Being able to fight and cut is more important than anything else.

Unless, Zhu Wen can plant a big heel in the river, and various internal contradictions will slowly emerge.

For now, though, these are wishful thinking.

Li Ye couldn't see any signs of Zhu Wen's heels.

In the northwest, Li Keyong did not move in Xizhou. Due north, Luo Hongxin has been defeated by Zhu Wen five times since the first year of Dashun, and he was beaten all over the ground looking for teeth, if it weren't for Li Keyong's containment, Wei Bo would have been included in Zhu Wen's bag.

In the southeast, Pang Shigu's 60,000 troops were stationed in Xuzhou, and Yang Xingmi did not dare to move.

To the east, the brothers Zhu Jin and Zhu Xuan were dying under Zhu Wen's continuous blows.

In the southwest, Zhao Kuangning's forces surrendered to Zhu Wen as early as the time of his father Zhao Dexu.

In the situation of the world, Zhu Wen seems to hold the bull's ears of the world, and he entered Guanzhong in the west and won the championship.

Li Ye is facing such an enemy.

The more he thought about it, the more Li Ye shuddered.

It is said that Zhu Wen has fought for most of his life, how could he not know that it is difficult to break through the Yellow River moat head-on?

Li Ye looked at the hanging map, crooked, only a general outline, and many specific places were inaccurate.

Li Ye, who is accustomed to seeing the precise maps of later generations, is simply tortured when he looks at this map again. But no matter how tortured it is, you have to watch it.

There are not many places to cross the river from the river, one is Kasaka, and the other is Furyōdu.

Fenglingdu is connected to Tongguan, so there is basically no need to think about it.

Pusaka has always been the first choice for attacking Guanzhong in the river, as long as you know a little about military history and geography.

In addition to these two places, Li Ye looked up along the curved Yellow River, "Is there any place to cross the river in the upper reaches of the Yellow River?" ”

Zhou Yunyi has been guarding in Tongzhou, and has the most right to speak, "The upper reaches of the hundred miles are all canyons and ravines, and the river is also a tidal mudflat, and the river is turbulent and vast, neither can a pontoon bridge be erected, nor can a boat, and the army cannot cross the river." ”

Li Ye's eyes fell on the top point of the map, with the word Hancheng written next to it, leaning against the twisting Yellow River.

"Han Cheng?"

Zhou Yunyi said: "Hancheng was originally under the rule of Tongzhou, and now it is in the hands of the party members, one hundred and eighty miles away. ”

Li Ye said: "I remember that there seems to be a Longmen Ferry in Hancheng? ”

Zhou Yunyi was stunned, and instantly understood what Li Ye meant, "Hancheng locks the throat of the north and south, and the party will let the Liang army pass through the city?" “

Li Ye and Li Juchuan glanced at each other.

The party members in this period were far less strong than those in the later Li Jiqian and Li Yuanhao periods, but they gradually grew up by taking advantage of the Tang Dynasty's chaos in Huangchao.

In the face of the overlord Zhu Wen, they did not have the courage to refuse.

Even, the Liang army could directly take advantage of its unpreparedness to sneak attack Hancheng, and then use Hancheng as a supply to wave the army south.

If the two armies were crossing the river and a Liang army came out from behind, the Tang army immediately collapsed.

Cold sweat flowed down Zhou Yunyi's forehead.

"In that year, Han Xin attacked Wei Bao, Wei Baotun attacked Pu Han with heavy troops, Han Xin pretended to defend Pu Han, led the army through Xiayang, smuggled the Yellow River with a wooden poppy, ran back and forth for 500 miles, and went around to Wei Bao's side, the Wei army was caught off guard and captured Wei Bao in a battle." Li Juchuan shook his head and hung up the bookbag.

Hancheng was called Xiayang in ancient times.

Li Ye couldn't wait to kick over, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" “

"The ministers and ministers didn't think for a while, if the party members didn't give them a chance, it would be impossible for the Liang army to cross the river."

"If the party members give them a chance, does it mean that Liang Jun is already on his way?" Li Ye's words made Li Juchuan and Zhou Yunyi creepy.

"For the crime of negligence, please punish Your Majesty!" Zhou Yunyi "poofed" and knelt on the ground.

Li Ye helped Zhou Yunyi up, "I can't blame you, hurry up and send scouts to Hancheng to reconnoiter the movement in the north." “

"The last general commands."

The Juwen army was still trying to cross the river.

However, no matter how Li Ye looked at it, he felt that he was just acting and not doing his best.

It has always been the vanguard of the Hezhong Army, and it has driven away a large number of people.

Among them, there were only a small number of Liang troops.

Li Ye waited anxiously for a day,

The scout still hasn't returned.

Li Ye suddenly had a feeling that something was wrong.

If the opponent can hunt down the scouts, it means that the cavalry is coming, and it is very fast.

"We can't wait any longer, we will arrange fortifications on the north and west sides, reject horses, ravines, and pits, what will we do!" Li Ye ordered.

Passing through Hancheng, the Loess Plateau is a flat river, and the cavalry of the Liang army can be condescending.

The entire camp was mobilized.

In the afternoon, a scout finally galloped back on his horse, with three arrows stuck in his back, "Dang Xiang, Liang Army, Cavalry ....."

Before he could finish speaking, the man fell from his horse.

Li Ye had goosebumps all over his body, and sure enough, he came, and the party members followed.

In other words, in this big war, the party members bet on Zhu Wen!

Li Ye was so angry that he didn't move them, they moved themselves first.

These military leaders don't talk about martial arts at all, and they gang up to bully people.

"Zhou Yunyi, Tuoba Yungui, the ferry is handed over to you."

The two took the order and left.

Gao Xingzhou, Yang Shihou and a group of Tang Army generals looked at Li Ye, their eyes were full of eager passion.

Looking at these young faces, the panic in Li Ye's heart suddenly disappeared.
