Chapter 168: Turning things around

Yan Song said sincerely: "Your Highness is far-sighted, and the guilty ministers admire it. The first step is to destroy the army defending the city, and the second step is to defend the Iron Mountain City. Only when we hold on to it will the passive situation be reversed. Your Highness, this move is crucial, and I suggest that you don't send other generals. ”

"You want me to lead the army to Iron Mountain City?" Li asked with a cold smile.

Yan Song said: "Baizhou City seems to be easy to attack and difficult to defend, but in fact, it has no impact on the overall situation. Moreover, Baizhou City was facing an open area, which was most suitable for the attack of the Yuanrong Iron Cavalry. Once we hold Iron Mountain City, then the Yuanrong Iron Cavalry will definitely attack Baizhou City desperately in order to break out of our encirclement. When the time comes, His Highness ......" the latter words, he did not dare to say.

Li sneered: "When the time comes, as long as I hold my troops and cut off the hope of Baizhou City, then King Yu and Geng Zhong will either die under the iron cavalry of the Yuanrong clan, or they will be taken down by the Son of Heaven and cut down." ”

Yan Song was silent.

"Would you like to come with me?" asked Li Leng.

Yan Song's face was full of shock, he looked up at Li Leng, and said, "I am guilty of sin." ”

"You...... There is no guilt left. After Li Leng finished speaking, he walked out of the barracks.

The next day, Li Leng ordered Tang to be the vanguard, lead an army of 100,000, out of Baizhou City, and together with the main force of the Han Dynasty, launch a counterattack on the cities in the north.

And he led an army of 100,000 to recover Iron Mountain City.

Geng Zhong naturally couldn't ask for it, he wished that Li Leng's 200,000 troops would die under the iron cavalry of the Yuanrong clan, anyway, the 200,000 reinforcements were a drop in the bucket, and they couldn't change the overall situation in northern Xinjiang.

The 200,000 army all died under the iron cavalry of the Yuanrong clan, so Li Leng, if he didn't die, would also be questioned by the Son of Heaven.

Li Muran seemed to see something, and at the last moment, he insisted on setting off with Li Leng's army.

The reason is very simple, he is the supervisor of the reinforcements, so he naturally wants to act with the reinforcements.

Li Leng didn't say anything, and asked Li Muran to follow the army.

As for Yan Song, Li Leng casually gave a reason and excuse to exempt Yan Song from his crime and let him be a staff officer of the army.

Watching the 100,000 army gradually move away, Geng Zhong sneered and said, "Your Highness, what do you think of them? Do you really think that the 100,000 army can take back Tieshan City? Even if they have the ability to take back Tieshan City, can they still block the fierce attack of the Yuanrong Iron Cavalry? After speaking, he shook his head disdainfully.

King Yu frowned, feeling faintly uneasy in his heart, he always felt that things were not so simple, but he had no clue what the problem was.

Three days later, Li Leng lured out the Yuanrong Iron Cavalry in Tieshan City, and took the opportunity to recover Tieshan City, so that all the Yuanrong Iron Cavalry near Iron Mountain were wiped out.

This battle immediately shocked the whole world. The iron cavalry of the Yuanrong clan is brave and good at fighting, and is good at attacking. For hundreds of years, the Great Han, the Great Tang, and the Great Qin had to concentrate superior forces in order to withstand the powerful attacks of the Yuanrong Iron Cavalry. But this time, with the disadvantage of 100,000 troops, Li Leng wiped out the 100,000 Rong Iron Cavalry in one fell swoop.

Is this a one-to-one confrontation, or is it in an extremely unfavorable situation in Datang, which makes the monks of the world shake.

At the same time, the vanguard army led by Tang Shu, with the help of the Han army, conquered many cities along the way, defeated the iron cavalry of the Yuanrong tribe in the northern region, and formed an encirclement of the Yuanrong tribe.

The leader of the Yuanrong clan was furious and personally led a large army to attack Iron Mountain and Iron Mountain City, as long as they took Iron Mountain City, their passive and unfavorable situation would be reversed. But Li Leng had expected that the Yuanrong clan would fight back wildly, and he was fully prepared. No matter how fierce the attack of the Yuanrong Iron Cavalry was, he never allowed the Yuanrong Iron Cavalry to step into Tieshan City for half a step.

In the defense of Tieshan City this time, Yan Song showed amazing military talent, and its defense system can be described as watertight, and he knows the iron cavalry of the Yuanrong clan very clearly, and can counterattack in a targeted manner. Let the Yuanrong clan iron cavalry suffer a lot.

A month later, the Yuanrong Iron Cavalry suffered heavy losses and finally abandoned Tieshan City. Li Leng and the others won the final victory in the Battle of Tieshan, which completely changed the unfavorable situation of the entire northern Xinjiang.

After the victory of Tieshan in the First World War, Li Leng rewarded him for his meritorious deeds, removed Yan Song from his slave status, promoted him to join the army as the left capital, and then promoted Yan Song to the general of Northern Xinjiang after the situation in Northern Xinjiang was calmed down.

In this battle alone, Li Leng's prestige in northern Xinjiang reached an unprecedented level, and many generals in northern Xinjiang saw Li Leng's powerful military talent and sincerely admired and recognized Li Leng.

After the Yuanrong tribe lost battle with Tieshan, they had to conquer Baizhou City before they could jump out of the encirclement of the Tang army. Therefore, on the third day after the end of the Battle of Tieshan, the iron cavalry of the Yuanrong clan launched a fierce attack on Baizhou City.

At this moment, Geng Zhong and King Yu were dumbfounded, they never expected that the final battle would extend to them. When the battle of Tieshan was the most tense and Li Leng was in the most dangerous situation, he asked them for help, and they kept their troops still, leaving Li Leng and 100,000 reinforcements to fend for themselves, and it was best to die all under the iron cavalry of the Yuanrong clan.

But who would have thought that Li Leng would finally win, and hundreds of thousands of Yuan Rong Clan's iron cavalry died outside Tieshan City, causing the Yuanrong Clan's vitality to be greatly injured and had to withdraw from Tieshan City. In order to get out of the predicament, the Yuanrong clan's attack on Baizhou City was extremely fierce, and in an instant, they broke through several defensive lines placed by Geng Zhong outside the city.

Baizhou City was in danger, and Geng Zhong and King Yu's situation was even more dangerous, so they risked their lives to send several groups of scouts to Li Leng for help. As long as Li Leng sent troops, he could solve the crisis in Baizhou City.

But no matter how many scouts they sent, Li Leng's side did not move, and in the end, they passed on a light news, saying that this was the Yuanrong clan's plan to lure the snake out of the hole. If they send troops to Tieshan City, then the Yuanrong Iron Cavalry will suddenly turn the direction of the offensive and launch a fierce counterattack against their Tieshan City. The location of Iron Mountain City is too important, Baizhou City can be lost, but Iron Mountain City cannot be lost. Geng Zhong wanted to defend Baizhou City to the death, and immediately asked the Son of Heaven for reinforcements and sent new reinforcements over.

"Bastard, he wants us to die, he killed us by the hands of the Yuanrong clan. After King Yu received Guangxun, he was furious and scolded sharply, "At this point, he still wants to fight for power and profit, I don't know that Baizhou City is lost, and the Yuanrong clan will enter the vast Western Regions, and then I want to find an opportunity to annihilate their main force, which is an extremely difficult thing." ”

He seemed to have forgotten that a month ago, when Li Leng asked them for help, they deliberately stood still and allowed Li Leng and 100,000 reinforcements to fight with the Yuanrong clan. Now, Baizhou City is in danger, and Li Lengxue doesn't move his appearance, but has become a person who can only fight for power and profit.
