Chapter 869 Yuwen Chengdu's Revenge

Chapter 867: Yuwen Chengdu's Revenge

After Yang Jian received Yang Su's request for help, he attached great importance to it, and immediately held a military and political meeting to discuss it. Soon afterwards, he sent [-] troops to support it. So far, the strength of Yiqueguan has reached [-].

However, the increase in troop strength cannot relieve the crisis in Yiqueguan, because what Yiqueguan lacks is not soldiers, but a strong general who can block one side.

At present, in Yique Pass, the only famous general who can be named is Yang Su, and he is still a Confucian general. As for Wang Fang, he is only a second-rate warrior.

After the southeast and south armies of the Kwantung coalition joined forces, there were thirteen princes and countless generals under their command. How could Yang Su resist it?

Li Shimin saw the predicament of Yiqueguan at a glance, and after receiving Yang Su's distress letter, he immediately held a military and political meeting to discuss who to send to support, as for this person...

The killing intent in Yu Wencheng's eyes was almost solidified, he clasped his fists and said coldly: "General, the last general requests to go to support Yique Pass."

Seeing that Yuwen Chengdu was full of murderous intent, Li Shimin didn't know that he wanted to avenge his father, but at this time Yuwen Chengdu was obviously about to lose his mind, and if he really asked him to go, it was very likely that something bad would happen, but if he was not allowed to take revenge He must hate himself.

It's so difficult!Li Shimin sighed in his heart.

When Li Shimin was in a dilemma, Yang Guang quickly walked up to Li Shimin's ear, and whispered: "Let General Chengdu go, this time I will go with him too, don't worry, I will never let him mess around. "

"That's all it takes."

Li Shimin sighed that the situation he was facing became more and more difficult, and at this time there must be no internal conflicts.

Within a month after Guangcheng and Xuanyuan were breached one after another, Dong Zhuo's verdict on Li Shimin's defeat finally came down.

After repeated discussions among the civil and military personnel in Chang'an, because they couldn't find a general who could replace Li Shimin and defeat Qin Hao, they finally decided to allow Li Shimin to commit crimes and perform meritorious service, and still let Li Shimin be the chief general of the Sizhou Liang Army.

It has to be said that Dong Zhuo held back Li Shimin this time. If the verdict could have come down earlier, Li Shimin might have saved Yu Wenhuaji, but after the verdict was handed down, Guangchengguan had already been breached by Bai Qi.

Li Shimin hadn't had time to react, and then Sun Jian led the army to completely block Xuanyuanguan's retreat. At this time, even if Li Shimin wanted to save Yu Wenhuaji, it was too late.

Not long after that, Yu Wenhuaji was defeated and killed, and there was only Yique Pass left in the three southern passes of Sizhou.

After receiving the news, Li Shimin was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.

The two strong passes guarded by a [-]-strong army did not last even a month, and the casualties caused by the coalition forces did not even reach one to two...

Li Shimin couldn't believe it was true, how could Yang Jian have such a poor sense of seeing people?
In fact, with regard to the defense of the three passes in the south of Sizhou, the guards were not appointed by Li Shimin. They were all Yang Jian's confidants and were personally appointed by Yang Jian.

In fact, Li Shimin also wanted to be replaced by his own people, but considering that he was new here, replacing Yang Jian's people so eagerly would definitely cause dissatisfaction within Yang Jian's army.

Li Shimin didn't know the abilities of the three of them, but he believed that Yang Jian's vision of seeing people, and the main force of the coalition forces had been at Hulao Pass before, so the change of generals was temporarily delayed.

However, the result of this order exceeded everyone's expectations. In just one month, two barriers were breached one after another.

The responsibility for the fall of the two passes this time cannot be blamed on Li Shimin. After all, the guards of the three passes are all Yang Jian's people.

In fact, Yang Jian was quite wronged. His vision of seeing people is not bad. Yu Wenhua and Han Qinhu can both serve as the first pass guards, but this time the opponent they are facing is too strong, which is completely beyond their ability. , even if Li Shimin personally appointed the guard, the result would probably not change.

It’s too late to say anything now, two of the three passes have been lost, and Yique Pass has assumed the same heavy responsibility as Hulao Pass, and once Yique Pass is breached, the coalition forces will drive straight to the city of Luoyang, so Yique Pass must not Anything goes wrong.

At this point, Li Shimin no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered: "Yang Guang, Yuwen Chengdu, Shi Wansui, Chai Shao, Yu Juluo, I order you and other five people to help General Yang Su guard the Yique Pass."

"promise."

The five generals responded in unison, and a trace of gratitude flashed in Yu Wencheng's eyes, and he left with the four of them.

As soon as the five generals left, Du Ruhui stood up on his back and said, "My lord, our army has spent a lot of energy in defending the city for more than a month. If we continue to defend the city with the current strength, there may be gaps, so it is time to respond." Ask Luoyang for reinforcements."

The situation on Li Shimin's side is completely different from that of the three passes in the south. Li Shimin has always used 33 troops to fight against Qin Hao's [-] troops. Facing an enemy force six times more than his own, he has never asked Luoyang for help. It was Yang Guang who sent [-] cavalry under false orders.

However, after more than a month of offensive and defensive warfare, whether it is the coalition army or the Liang army, the consumption of troops is very large.

Except for the all-out attack by the coalition forces at the beginning, the subsequent attacks were all organized and rational. While consuming the flying stones of the Liang army, they gradually drained the strength of the Liang army.

Gradually, the flying stones in Hulao Pass were finally insufficient, and the coalition forces finally took out their catapults, and used the collected flying stones to launch the most violent counterattack. Casualties also gradually increased.

In the offensive and defensive battle for more than a month, the Liang army has damaged more than 1 troops, and most of the remaining troops are extremely exhausted, while the coalition army has suffered casualties of more than 3 troops, and more than one-third of the troops are also extremely exhausted.

If this trend continues, the coalition forces may be able to forcibly break through Hulao in less than half a month, but there are still enough reinforcements in Luoyang behind Hulao Pass, and Li Shimin will definitely ask for reinforcements when necessary.

All the princes of the coalition army also knew that this battle must still be fought, and it was impossible to gnaw the hard bone of Hulaoguan without breaking a few teeth, so they were all prepared for a protracted war and vomiting blood.

Of course, Li Shimin also knew that Hulao Pass was about to reach its limit, and now it was time to call for help, so he nodded directly without thinking: "What the military adviser said is true, I will write a letter to ask for help."

There were less than [-] troops in Hulao Pass, and most of them were exhausted, so Li Shimin took up his pen and wrote after thinking for a while, asking Yang Jian to send him [-] reinforcements.

At that time, the situation at Hulaoguan will also become 30 defenders against the [-] coalition army. Li Shimin will be more confident in defending it.
