Sui and Tang Dynasties: At the beginning, Mrs. Li ran away from relatives

Chapter 1 In the critical moment of life and death, first appease people's hearts (subscribe with support)

"What the queen said is that Taigu Pass and Hulao Pass belong to our army's last line of defense in the east."

"Since there is an emergency here, Luoyang is at a critical juncture, and Xiao Guowei can be dispatched to go."

In the end, it was Qiu Rui who spoke first.

"No."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Meiniang shook her head directly.

If Xiaoguowei is dispatched, the Chu army will surely know that Luoyang, the eastern capital, has no spare troops to use.

Although the line of defense can be stabilized, it will also motivate the Chu army at the same time.

"Furthermore, Xiaoguowei is used to deal with very critical situations, and there are not many troops."

Xiao Mei Niang explained further.

Coupled with her consideration just now, there are already sufficient reasons not to use Xiao Guowei.

"But…"

How could Qiu Rui and Wei Wensheng not understand this?

It's just that they don't have a better way.

Luoyang has no troops to dispatch, and the rest of the frontier defense can only dispatch to the south.

Even if troops are deployed from the south, the entire line of defense cannot be consolidated.

"Hey, could it be that we have to be transferred from the border defense?" After thinking about it, Wei Wensheng sighed.

"What the old general said is also feasible." Unexpectedly, Xiao Meiniang just said it.

"Queen, this..."

Wei Wensheng couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

I was talking about it casually, but the rest of the defense line basically couldn't draw any troops, and the troops were just enough to resist the enemy.

"The Han army and the Tang army in the north are fighting, and they will not attack from the south.

Xiao Mei Niang explained.

"As for the west and south, the pressure is less, and a lot of troops can be dispatched."

Hearing this, several civil and military officials understood why the queen wanted to draw troops from these three places.

In fact, it's not that they haven't thought about it, but it's still a bit risky to do so.

If an enemy army breaks into one of the three sides, the chance of success is very high.

"But..."

Qiu Rui frowned, still feeling a little worried.

"Now Taigu Pass and Hulao Pass in the east are urgent. This is the best way without using Xiaoguowei." Xiao Meiniang continued.

24 "What the queen said is, otherwise, we can only build a defensive line in Luoyang, and wait until the Chu army attacks here."

Pei Yun agreed.

"In that case, follow what the queen said."

After some hesitation, Wei Wensheng and Qiu Rui finally agreed.

"If you draw the maximum number of troops from the three places, how much can you draw?"

Immediately, Xiao Meiniang asked. "Queen, let the old minister think about it."

Hearing that, Wei Wensheng didn't answer in a hurry, but made some calculations secretly.

"Back to the queen, you should be able to draw [-] troops."

Wei Wensheng said truthfully.

"Thirty thousand troops should be enough for Hulao Pass and Taigu Pass."

Xiao Mei Niang nodded.

Originally thought that if Xingyang withdrew to Hulao and Taigu Pass, he should be able to hold out until His Majesty returned.

Unexpectedly, the Chu army would attack so fiercely that the pressure on Hulao Pass and Taigu Pass suddenly increased.

Originally including Xingyang's troops, the two places had at least [-] troops, but now it is estimated that there are only [-] troops.

However, with the addition of [-] reinforcements, there will be [-] troops. It must not be difficult to block the Chu army.

"Yes, Queen."

Qiu Rui replied solemnly.

"I hope Taigu Pass and Hulao Pass can be defended, otherwise, it will be time to use Xiaoguowei.

Pei Yun said in a deep voice.

The other two had a huge rock on their hearts, almost making them breathless.

"Thanks to the two veteran generals, we will definitely hold on until His Majesty returns."

Xiao Meiniang adjusted her mood and said aloud.

Although it was a critical moment of life and death, it was necessary to stabilize people's hearts, and she had to appease everyone.

Give these ministers hope, not despair.

"No, this is the duty of the old ministers, please resign."

Wei Wensheng and Qiu Rui responded.

Afterwards, the three of them left together at the same time, and began to arrange for the deployment of troops.

At this time, the Chu army had been attacking Taigu Pass and Hulao Pass day and night for a long time.Under the two pass cities, there were bloody corpses everywhere, and the battlefield had not been cleared for several days.

Outside the Hulao Pass, the Chu army's central army tent.

"It hasn't been captured yet!"

Yang Xuangan shouted angrily.

Under such a fierce attack, one of the two barriers should have been broken long ago.

Who would have thought that until now, Hulao Pass and Taigu Pass would have enough energy to defend to the death.

"Don't worry, Duke Chu."

Li Mi comforted him.

"How can I not be in a hurry?"

Yang Xuan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

He was worried that until the emperor of the Sui Dynasty came back, the army had not yet entered Luoyang.

The idea of ​​capturing Luoyang and using Luoyang to resist the Sui army naturally and dangerously will become a fantasy after all.

That's why it makes people so angry.

"Ugh."

Li Mi sighed.

Originally, when the army was approaching Hulao Pass and Taigu Pass, everyone was in high spirits.

Even before the fight started, I began to fantasize about the dream of attacking Luoyang. Who would have thought that it would not be captured for several days.

For a while, all of them were extremely irritable, and the atmosphere was a little depressed.

"Is there any movement from Xuan Zong?"

Yang Xuangan asked along the way.

They divided the 12 troops of the Chu army into [-] equally. Taiguguan was led by his younger brother Yang Xuanzong, with Hu Sizheng as his deputy.Hulaoguan is personally sitting in the town, with Li Mi as the military advisor.

"If we can't break through a level in a short period of time, when the Sui Dynasty emperor returns, we will be attacked from both sides."

Yang Xuangan said in a deep voice.

At that time, let alone dominance, they will be finished first.

"This one……"

It was precisely in consideration of this that Li Mi frowned, his expression extremely serious.

"Duke Chu, considering the current situation, don't think about keeping any troops, just attack with all your strength."

After thinking for a while, Li Mi continued.

"You mean to use the army in Xuchang?"

Hearing this, Yang Xuangan's expression changed a bit.

Those Chu troops who stayed in Xuchang were all elite troops, and they were preparing to attack Luoyang.

However, judging from the current situation, I am afraid that it has to be used in advance.

"That's right. The sooner you break through a level, the better. If you spend it for a long time, it will only do harm to our army."

Knowing that if it takes one more day, they will be more dangerous, Li Mi said directly.

"It's exactly what I want."

After hearing this, Yang Xuan agreed without thinking.

In fact, because the two barriers have not been broken for a long time, I have had this idea for a long time.

This time, the Chu army will use all its strength to launch the most violent attack on the two passes.

"Pass on my order to dispatch the elite from Xuchang, and I will quickly break through the barrier within a few days."

After making up his mind, Yang Xuangan ordered directly.

O

Li Mi took the order and quickly conveyed the general order.

"Come on, let's go to the gate."

"No, Duke Chu."

As soon as the military order was issued, Yang Xuangan put on his armor,

Go straight to the battlefield where the former army sieges the city.

"Rush, attack."

"kill……"

"Hold on, don't let the Chu army rush up!"

Under Hulao Pass, the fierce offensive and defensive battle is still going on.

And the Sui general who stayed behind at this pass is Yang Yichen, a promising general who was given the surname by the Sui Dynasty

"Sigh, I don't know how long Hulao Pass and Taigu Pass can last?" Yang Yichen couldn't help sighing.

Even if she learned not long ago, the queen doesn't care about losing Xingyang.

Tell him that as long as he defends Taigu Pass and Hulao Pass, he can not only redeem his merits, but also get rewards.

This was indeed an exciting period of time. However, the Chu army's next offensive felt terrible pressure.The so-called excitement disappeared.

"Kill..."

The Chu army below let out roars, and they continued to attack the city.

Although the Sui army was actively fighting, everyone's faces were somewhat tired.

"I hope Luoyang can bring enough reinforcements."

Yang Yichen thought to himself.

everyone...

At this moment, a loud shout was suddenly heard from the direction of the Chu army.
