The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 370

Yang Yong was very excited when he got the news of Xue Renguo's rebellion. He has been waiting for him for more than two months. When Xue Renguo is completely defeated, the Western Qin regime will collapse. It is logical to return to Lao Tzu.

Yang Yong enthusiastically sent an order to beat the drums to gather the generals. When the drums sounded three times, all the generals arrived.Yang Yong sat in the middle, and all the generals lined up on the hatchback. There were more than a dozen generals with more than [-] heads, all of them were brightly armored, standing with their heads held high, full of energy.

Yang Yong looked around and said: "Xue Renguo's vanguard battalion has reached Tianshui. Tianshui is only two hundred miles away, and Xue Renguo's brigade is not too far away. How we should fight this battle is up to everyone. I've seen you."

Shan Xiongxin was the first to speak. "My lord, we can eat his vanguard battalion, give him a head-on blow, and then kill Xue Renguo in one go."

Qin Qiong disagreed, "My lord, we shouldn't move his vanguard battalion first, as this will scare the snake. Just now the lord said that Xue Renguo is not an idler. His main force is definitely not far from the vanguard battalion. If you fail to beat a snake, you will be killed by a snake." Biting would be bad. We are mainly dealing with Xue Renguo's main force, so the general thinks that we should lure the enemy to go deep and ignore his vanguard battalion, let them all in."

Yang Yong nodded and looked at Su Dingfang. Yang Yong knew that although Su Dingfang was young, he was quite strategic, and he mainly wanted to hear his opinion.

Su Dingfang came out to salute and said: "My lord, I agree with General Qin's opinion, this time Xue Renguo was so late and only brought 20 troops to rescue him, it shouldn't be rash, they must have made sufficient preparations. Either it is using all the power of the whole country, or finding foreign aid, when we start a war with Xue Renguo, we must beware of this."

Yang Yong nodded after hearing this, and praised Su Dingfang for his thoughtfulness. After analyzing the surrounding princes, he believed that there were no more than three people who were most likely to raise troops to help Xue's father and son, Li Yuan, Xiao Xian, and Du Fuwei. Without this kind of strength, and without courage, there is nothing to worry about, so the one who is most likely to send troops is Li Yuan from Shanxi.

According to Tanma's report, Li Yuan has not been idle in the past few months. He took his eldest son Li Jiancheng, daughter Li Xiuning, son-in-law Chai Shao, general Ma Sanbao, Liu Hongji, Yin Kaishan, etc., and continued to use troops against Hexi.Now Li Yuan has defeated Li Gui, Li Gui was captured, and all his territories in Hexi belonged to Li Yuan.Li Yuan's strength increased greatly.

Therefore, Yang Yong listed Li Yuan as a key defense target.Yang Yong had already had an account in his heart. Sooner or later, he and the old Li family would have to face each other. Their father and son were his real opponents. avoid.

After discussing with the generals, Yang Yong drafted three letters, and dispatched competent people to deliver them on fast horses. Two letters were sent to military advisers Wei Zheng and Xu Maogong, stating the situation at hand and asking them to lead the eight Biao generals with 20 soldiers and horses. , Standing ready, guarding Henan and Hebei, and taking into account Shandong.Then the third letter was sent to Li Jing in Wuzhangyuan, asking them to make emergency preparations. First, to prevent Xue Ju from jumping over the wall in a hurry.

After completing these deployments, Yang Yong adopted a strategy of breaking up Xue Renguo's troops and horses to lure the enemy to go deeper. Except for his own unified army of ten thousand troops, the remaining 4 horses were divided into five equally, each There are 8000 people, led by Su Dingfang, Qin Qiong, Shan Xiongxin, Princess Yujing and Luo Shiying respectively. The five groups of people are scattered in Fengxiang, Qianyang, Liuba, Fengxian and Longxian counties and counties, but there are basically no or few counties. Most of the soldiers and horses are stationed in villages, towns, rivers, mountains and forests.

Yang Yong specifically ordered Qin Qiong's 8000 troops to be in charge of Feng County, and Su Dingfang's 8000 people to be in charge of Long County. The main force, just wait for Xue Renguo's main force to pass, then attack from the north and south, cut off the enemy's retreat, close the door and beat the dog, and catch the turtle in Wengzhong.

Yang Yong led an army of [-] troops, including his women's personal guard battalion, to retreat to the warehouse, together with Yang Yuling and Li Wan'er, a total of [-] soldiers and horses, waiting for news in the warehouse.

After Yang Yong set up the pocket array, he just waited for Xue Renguo's soldiers and horses to drill in.

Waiting is a kind of suffering for ordinary people, but for the bohemian Yang Yong, this kind of suffering does not exist at all, but a kind of happiness.Because Brother Yong stayed in the mansion of Shuai Chencang, served by two beautiful wives, enjoying the delicious food and beauties, sitting and reporting.

The camera temporarily shifts to Tianshui.A distance of [-] miles is not considered a distance for the cavalry. If it weren't for the order of the crown prince, the silver stick commander Chu Yun could have sent [-] people to Chencang.

Chu Yun didn't pay attention to Yang Yong and others at all. Don't look at his Majesty Xue Ju who was defeated in a row and was finally trapped in Wuzhangyuan. Chu Yun still sneered at Yang Yong and others, because he never doubted his ability.

No wonder Chu Yun is arrogant, he has the capital.Chu Yunnai is one of Xue Ju's Four Great Pillar Kingdoms. He dismounted from his horse and held an eyebrow-level dragon stick in his palm. He had no opponents across western Sichuan.When Xue Ju and his son led troops to attack Bashu, the two sides fought fiercely under Meishan Mountain. Chu Yun and Xue Ju fought for [-] rounds with no outcome.

Later, Xue Ju used tricks to capture Chu Yun three times and three times. Chu Yun was grateful for the kindness of the old Xue family, and saved Xue Ju wholeheartedly.After Xue Ju surrendered Chu Yun, he has always been regarded as the most capable general.This time when Xue Ju conquered Yang Yong, he left Chu Yun alone to assist the prince in guarding the capital, which shows that his status is unusual in Xue Ju's heart.

In Tianshui, Chu Yun waited patiently until the prince's troops were in sight, and then led five thousand cavalry out of Tianshui to attack Chencang.

The prefectures, counties and counties that this road passed through rarely resisted. Chu Yun beat a big stick, and Yang Yong's soldiers either died or were injured, or fled or surrendered. Therefore, the situation was like a broken bamboo, and Chu Yun's troops arrived in only three days Outside Chencang City.

Chu Yun scolded and scolded the enemy outside the city for a whole morning. The top of Chencang's wall was hung high above the walls, and the four gates were closed like iron barrels. Yang Yong's soldiers and horses stood firm and did not fight.

Chu Yun was furious. In the afternoon, when he was about to attack the city with five thousand troops, one of his commanders saluted, "Wait a minute, general. Chencang is a fortified city. The city is high and the pond is deep. Our offensive is too weak. , and there is no heavy weapon to attack the city. Moreover, His Royal Highness has just passed through Qingshui County, which is more than two hundred miles away from us, so we should wait for the prince to arrive before making any plans."

Chu Yun glared impatiently: "Presumptuous! When will we have to wait? We are cavalry, so we have to talk about speed. Besides, rescue is like fighting a fire. Your Majesty has been trapped in Wuzhangyuan for more than a hundred days. Hope to rescue soldiers must be hopeless. It is far from Wuzhangyuan. It’s not far away, we can save you by taking down the old warehouse. I don’t believe in evil, how can a small old warehouse stop me? Needless to say, send an order to attack the city!”
