Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 384 Battle in Hebei ([-])

Xiangzhou is the city of Ye in history, which was originally an important town in Hebei. After An Qingxu fled to Xiangzhou, he frantically strengthened the city defenses. Today, Xiangzhou City has become very strong, and the Tang army does not have Li Fei's explosives, so it cannot directly blow open the city gate. , can only forcibly attack the city wall.

Yu Chaoen, as the supervisor of the Nine Festivals, has the right to actually mobilize the army of the Nine Festivals, almost equivalent to the coach.

The solidity of Xiangzhou City caused heavy casualties to the Tang army.

Seeing that the Nine Festivals made the army unable to break through Xiangzhou City, Yu Chaoen sent someone to invite Guo Ziyi to discuss and ask Guo Ziyi to come up with a strategy.

To say that Suzong Li Heng did not set up a coach this time was obviously to guard against Guo Ziyi. Guo Ziyi could not have known it in his heart. If he is to be the coach again, after the rebels are completely wiped out, he will either become another Beiping County King Li Fei, or be executed by everyone because of his high achievements.

Anyway, the Nine-Route Jiedushi has a total of 60 troops, and the Shuofang Army under his command has [-], more than half of which are elites of hundreds of battles. He commanded the [-] Shuofang Army under his command, and he also has the confidence to fight against An Qingxu's rebel army.Furthermore, Li Guangbi, Li Siye, and Lu Jiong are all rare generals, and their subordinates are not weak. Although they are fighting each other, combined, An Qingxu has no chance of surviving. Why should he care about the position of the coach.

Guo Ziyi told Yu Chaoen his strategy.

Soon, the Tang army surrounded Xiangzhou City, built three earth walls, dug three trenches, and poured water into Xiangzhou City, so that the streets and alleys in Xiangzhou City were almost flooded, and the anti-army operations in the city were difficult. There is no place, the food storage has been flooded, and morale has fallen to the bottom. It is only a matter of time before Xiangzhou City is breached.

If An Qingxu had no other reinforcements, it was indeed only a matter of time before the city was destroyed, but things had changed.

Shi Siming led thirteen states and nearly 15 troops to surrender to Datang. According to Guo Ziyi's suggestion, Shi Siming should try his best to appease Shi Siming.

It's a pity that Suzong Li Heng was too impatient. Seeing that although Shi Siming surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, he still had nearly 15 troops under his command and was still expanding, so he sent envoys to Shi Siming's army to secretly instigate rebellion. Some of the generals in the army disintegrated Shi Siming's power.

If Shi Siming didn't notice the instigation of rebellion under Shi Siming's nose, he would not be qualified to become another big rebel after An Lushan.

"I have surrendered, and the imperial court still treats me like this. Obviously, they don't trust me at all. After An Qingxu's demise, I'm afraid it will be my turn, Shi Siming." The demise of the Tang Dynasty is not good for him, and his lips are dead and his teeth are cold.

At this time, after a period of rapid expansion, Shi Siming already had an army of 20.

At the end of July, Shi Siming sent troops to Xiangzhou to rescue the besieged An Qingxu rebels and rebelled against the Tang Dynasty.

Shi Siming led his army to the south from Changzhou City. The Tang army who besieged Xiangzhou did not know the news of Shi Siming's rebellion, so they were unprepared.

On August 20, Shi Siming led [-] rebels under his command to suddenly storm into the Tang army camp in the north of the city.

Not only was the Tang army unable to guard against it, but because there was no commander in chief, they only relied on the contact and mobilization of the supervisor Yu Chaoen. Although there were also three Jiedu envoys in the northern camp of this city, with 20 Tang troops, the three Jiedu envoys fought on their own, fearing the head and the tail. The 20 Tang troops in the north of the city were defeated by Shi Siming.

Among the three Jiedu Envoys in the north of the city, Li Siye, the Jiedu Envoy of the Northern Camp, was a rare general. He was very brave, but he took the lead.

However, it only resisted Shi Siming's rebellion for a short period of time. Taking the lead can inspire the soldiers under his command to fight to the death, but he is also easy to be killed by the enemy. Li Siye was specially "cared for" by Shi Siming in the process of leading the charge. The rain of arrows shot at Li Siye, and Li Siye was overwhelmed by the rain of arrows that shot at him intensively. First, he was shot twice, and then he was shot into a hedgehog. He couldn't die anymore.

As soon as Li Siye died, Shi Siming seized the opportunity and dispatched his most elite soldiers to attack the horns. However, the originally elite army of the northern battalion was in disarray because of the death of the leader Li Siye, and was defeated by Shi Siming in one fell swoop.

As soon as the army of the northern battalion collapsed, the other two Jiedu envoys stationed in the northern battalion could no longer hold on.

In just over an hour of fighting, the three envoys of the Tang Dynasty in the north of Xiangzhou City, and the 20 army collapsed one after another.

Moreover, because there is no commander in chief, Yu Chaoen, the supervisor who contacted the nine Jiedu envoys, was ignorant of military affairs and self-righteous. Because he was afraid that An Qingxu would take the opportunity to escape from Xiangzhou, he ordered the other six Jiedu envoys to stand still on the grounds that the battle situation was unknown. , 'Sit and watch' 20 collapsed Tang troops were chased and slaughtered by Shi Siming. For a whole day, more than [-] Tang soldiers were killed, and blood flowed into rivers in the north of the city.

During the process, Li Guangbi, a famous general who was as famous as Guo Ziyi, came to persuade Yu Chaoen when the 20 Tang army in the north of the city collapsed, and immediately asked other Jiedu envoys to rescue the north of the city. Chaoen thinks that Li Guangbi is telling him what to do.

Who is Yu Chaoen? He is the supervisor of the nine Jiedu envoys. He actually mobilized and commanded 60 troops. He is so heroic and heroic. Li Guangbi, one of the nine Jiedu envoys, even pointed fingers at him?
Li Guangbi was scolded by Yu Chaoen, but Yu Chaoen didn't listen to his proposal.

And when Guo Ziyi of Daying in the south of the city got the news and rushed to persuade Yu Chaoen, a long time had passed, the best chance of rescue had been lost, and the north of the city was firmly occupied by Shi Siming. An Qingxu's anti-army successfully reconciled, and there was no point in going to rescue, that is, to gather the remaining remnants.

Because of Yu Chaoen, the armies of the other six Jiedu Envoys sat and watched the 20 troops of the three Jiedu Envoys in the north of the city collapse and be slaughtered. The coldness of the soldiers, the hearts of ordinary soldiers were also cold, and the morale of the soldiers was severely hit.

Of the defeated 20 Tang troops in the north of the city, less than 11 were originally killed, and there should be more than 9 left. However, due to Yu Chaoen's improper command, the other six Jiedu envoys and 40 troops were close at hand, but there was no one left. After the rescue, the remaining 9 remaining Tang soldiers were chilled, especially the soldiers of the northern battalion who died in the battle, the main general Li Siye, was even more chilled.In the end, Yu Chaoen only recruited less than 17 soldiers.It is equivalent to a loss of more than [-] in World War I.
