Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Forced march?

Long-distance attack?

Catch the thief first to catch the king?

Although the Lingwu Youjun is the latest unit of the three armies under Chen Ying's command.But they are originally a nation on horseback, and they all have confidence.

Chen should unfold the map.From Yanmen Pass to Ningwu Pass, if you take the inside route, the distance is not far but two hundred miles.If you march by force, you can get there by gritting your teeth and persevering for a day and a night.If you take the outside line, the distance will be nearly doubled.To go outside, you need to go back to Shuozhou first, back and forth.

Chen Ying took a breath and shook his head slightly.The distance of nearly [-] miles can be done without any effort if it is on the plains, but in the mountains, the difficulty is not so great.Chen Ying hesitated for a moment, and said coldly: "One day and one night, three hundred miles of mountain road! Tomorrow, at this time, launch an attack immediately!"

All the generals were shocked, fully armed, provided for half a month, and marched on the mountain road for three hundred miles. What are they going to do?Liu Tong looked at Chen Ying's finger, although Chen Ying subconsciously pointed his finger at Ningwu Pass, but at this time, there was no Ningwu Pass, but there was Loufan Pass.

Liu Tong instantly understood what Chen Ying meant. This was changing the Abandoned Yanmen Pass to Loufan Pass as a breakthrough direction.Although Loufan Pass is not as strong and steep as Yanmen Pass, Loufan Pass is not something Turkic barbarians like Ashina Simo can break through easily.Liu Tong is quite, if you give him three thousand soldiers and horses, relying on Lou Fanguan, he can let Ashina Simo's Lingwu right army shed the last drop of blood.

Liu Tong's expression suddenly became serious: "General, I am willing to serve as a military counselor with the Lingwu Youjun."

Chen Ying clasped his hands behind his back and said, "There are nine fortresses in the world, and Yanmen is the first. In the case of tight defenses, if you want to break through Yanmen Pass, you have to use human lives to fill it. The most taboo thing for this general is to use the blood of soldiers to dye red." My own road to promotion. Now Hedong is bleeding and Taiyuan is bleeding. As the Tang army, we are duty-bound to recover the lost land. Those guys in the Tang court only want to take off my head and seize my military power. In their minds, they have never thought about it. Hedong is a line of interest that our country cannot afford to lose. Once it is lost, Datang will be over. Now most of Hedong is lost, no need to ask, I am sure that some of Guanzhong have already started With Zheng Wang Shichong, Hebei Dou Jiande, and even Liu Wuzhou. They don't think about the interests of this country, I think about it! One day and one night, before Liu Wuzhou has time to strengthen the defense of Loufanguan, take him down Loufanguan. The Loufan Pass is defended by Liu Wuzhou's army, even if you hit me with your head, you will break the Loufan Pass! Can it be done?"

Ashina Sima said loudly: "Don't break the building, come and see me!"

Liu Tong also said: "Don't break the building, come and see me!"

Chen Yingdao: "Then get ready, replenish dry food, prepare equipment, and set off in half an hour!"

From this time on, Chen Ying's butterfly wings indeed fanned the entire history.

Liu Tong and Ashina Simo led the generals of the Lingwu right army to leave and go down to prepare.

Chen Ying looked in the direction of the pass, thinking like a cat scratching in his heart.

Partial pass only makes people forget.It is because Pianguan relies on the Yellow River. Generally speaking, whether it is the Turks or the Huns, they send troops in summer. When they can send troops in summer, the Yellow River swells, and a Yellow River becomes a natural moat for Pianguan.To cross the Yellow River by force is no less difficult than crossing mountains and ridges, but once the Yellow River is frozen in winter, the entire Yellow River will be full of loopholes, so the partial pass will be forgotten.

However, for Chen Ying, the Yellow River is not a natural danger, but a power booster.It is precisely because of the existence of the Yellow River that his troops in the Hetao area can support more than [-] troops with very little manpower.

Chen Ying looked at the generals under his command, especially Zhang Huaiwei, who was an old man who followed Chen Ying in Jingyang.However, if there is an advantage, it will definitely be cheaper for one's own people first, and Zhang Huaiwei is one's own people.Chen Yingdao: "Do you know this place? From here there is a valley where ten horses can run side by side. Along this valley, you can turn south and enter Weize Pass. Now Princess Pingyang leads the troops to stand firm at Weize Pass. If you are the first It must be a great achievement to appear in Weize Pass!"

When Xu Jingzong heard about Princess Pingyang, he said eagerly: "Your Majesty, I request you to accompany the army as a military counselor!"

"Can!"

Chen Yingdao: "Yu Guni, Zhang Huaiwei!"

"exist!"

"Lingwu Zuo Army's first and second turns to Chongfu, Dingyuan Army's second turn to Chongfu, headed by Yu Guni, Deputy Zhang Huaiwei, and Counselor Xu Jingzong for military affairs! Go south along Hanguangling to support Weizeguan!"

……

Half an hour later, more than [-] troops left Yanmen Pass successively from the seven Zhechong mansions of the Lingwu Right Army, the two Zhechong Mansions of the Lingwu Left Army, and the second Zhechong Mansion of the Dingyuan Army.At this time, Chen Ying only had four Zhechong mansions left by the Lingwu Zuo Army and two Zhechong Mansions by the Dingyuan Army.

The number of people and horses has been reduced by two thirds.I just want to use a fool to see the problem.

Liu Wuzhou saw that Chen Ying's army formation had become much sparser, and said with a gloomy face: "Chen Ying's children have divided up their troops. Not good... Lou Fanguan."

Liu Wuzhou turned to Shangshu Zhang Lun and said, "Who is at the gate of the Temperance Building now?"

Zhang Lun said: "Huang Ziying's son, Huang Shizheng!"

Fan Junzhang said: "Not good, Huang Shizheng is just a dude, it's okay to walk the birds and amuse the horses, let him guard the Loufan Pass, and the Loufan Pass will be lost!"

Liu Wuzhou said: "Zhang Qing, it's better for you to go to the Loufan Pass, you must guard the Loufan Pass, if there is a loss in the Loufan Pass, our good situation will definitely be lost!"

"I obey my orders!"

Zhang Lun didn't shirk, and he took the order and left.However, Zhang Lun personally led two or three hundred personal guards, and did not carry any luggage and supplies at all.

Looking at Zhang Lun's back, Liu Wuzhou said with a smile: "With Zhang Lun here, the Loufan Pass will be safe and sound, and Chen Ying'er will be hit hard."

Fan Junzhang nodded approvingly and said, "Children Chen Ying is quite quick-witted, he can't be disobeyed when things happen, and he decisively divides the troops. Just this kind of determination is beyond the reach of his peers."

However, whether Liu Wuzhou or Fan Junzhang, they never thought of it.In fact, Chen Ying's real killing move is not Ashina Simo's way, nor is it a surprise attack on Lou Fanguan.His real killing move is instead a side pass long forgotten by Liu Wuzhou and everyone else.

The purpose of using Ashina Simo's [-] soldiers and horses is to attract Liu Wuzhou's attention, and at the same time, it can better cover Yu Guni and Zhang Huaiwei's surprise soldiers, so that they can advance into Weize Pass without anyone noticing.

Chapter 49 Good Match

Huizhou, founded in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, ruled Gushi County (now northeast of Gushi County, Henan).At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, Huizhou was abolished and changed to Yicheng County. In the first year of Wude, Yicheng County was abolished and changed to Huizhou.Huizhou, the state governs Yicheng.Huizhou City (Yicheng) is located in the center of the "Qin, Jin, Henan" triangle, known as "the throat of southern Jin, the gateway of Pingyang", and has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.

The prince of the Tang Dynasty and Li Jiancheng, the supervisor of the country, set up the commander of the Chinese army on Xiangshan Mountain in the south of Zhangyi City, also known as Aoxiang Mountain and Xianggao Mountain.It was called Hui Gaoshan and Hui Mountain in ancient times.It is a branch of Zhongtiao Mountain. Because it is shaped like a bird stretching its wings, it is about to fly in the sky, so Yicheng got its name.

If Li Jiancheng had set up an artillery position in Xiangshan in the era of hot weapons, there would be no possibility of defending Yicheng.However, Yicheng, which is six miles away from Xiangshan Mountain, has no threatening weapons in this era.

Nominally Li Jiancheng controlled the troops in Hedong, but it was Xu Shiji who commanded the siege operations, with Yuan Baozang as his deputy.Although Xu Shiji's ability to lead troops in battle is good, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. The Tang army under Xu Shiji's command could not carry too heavy equipment. Enter!

Two rows of crossbowmen approached with heavy crossbows on their backs, and shieldmen beside them covered them.Sit together at the distance calculated by the general, and use your waist to open the crossbow!

The main force of the Hedong Tang Army was basically destroyed, and the Hedong Army at this time was basically reorganized from the Wagang Army.One of the characteristics of the Wagang Army is that it is very poorly equipped.Especially after Li Mi was defeated by Wang Shichong in Mangshan, he basically wiped out the wealth accumulated by the Wagang Army over the years.

Today, Xu Shiji inherited almost [-]% of the remnants of the Wagang Army, but there are more than [-] troops, but only more than [-] crossbows.It is far lower than the bow and crossbow equipment of more than [-]% of the regular Tang army.Although the Tang army in Hedong is poorly equipped, it is up to who to compare with. If it is compared with Liu Wuzhou's Tianxing army, Tianxing army is more like a beggar army.

Xu Shiji still had more than [-] strong crossbows, but Song Jingang's men, including archers, were only more than [-], of which there were no more than a thousand strong crossbows.As far as the number of crossbows is concerned, the Tang army on the attacking side is more than a little stronger than the Tianxing army on the defending side.

Xu Shiji was quite a thief, he ordered: "The ladder is progressive!"

A group of shieldmen guarded the infantry and rushed towards the city of Weizhou carrying dozens of ladders.

The general guarding the city saw this scene and immediately ordered: "Archers prepare!"

However, before the voice of the Weizhou defenders fell, the order flag in Xu Shiji's hand fell fiercely.

More than [-] strong crossbowmen of the Tang Army in Hedong subconsciously aimed at the long-marked shooting distances, and pulled their engines.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

There was a sharp sound of piercing through the air, and dense crossbows were fired. More than two thousand crossbows tore through the air in the air. Countless Tianxing army archers on the city wall of Weizhou were shot almost at the same time. was shot.

The range of the bow and arrow is actually similar to that of the submachine guns of later generations. Although the rate of fire is much higher than that of the crossbow, it is far inferior to the strong crossbow in terms of power and range.As soon as they fought, the Tianxing army suffered a terrible loss and was shot at hundreds of people in an instant. Among them, what made Song Jingang vomit blood the most was that his most valuable crossbowman lost more than two hundred people.

Originally, his crossbow was far inferior to that of Tang Jun, but he lost more than two hundred people at once, and the gap in strength between the two sides was widened all of a sudden.However, the number of archers in the Tianxing Army can make up for the disadvantage of insufficient crossbows.Although the Tang army has the advantage in the crossbow, the Tianxing army is condescending and occupies a geographical advantage that is difficult to draw.

In short, both sides have their own strengths, arrows come and go, and the fight is inextricably linked for a while.

Although the infantry attacking the city with ants could put the ladder on the top of the city, Song Jingang led the elite troops to repel all three attacks.Seeing that his morale was frustrated, Xu Shiji sighed helplessly and said, "It would be great if there is a bed crossbow, even if there is only one, as long as Song Jingang can be shot and killed, Huizhou will be destroyed."

Unfortunately, there are not so many ifs in reality.
