Chapter 631 Soldiers approach Luoshui
Concubine Zhang asked worriedly: "Do you think the King of Liao will come to Chang'an?" Concubine Yin said in a very uncertain tone: "It shouldn't be."
The atmosphere in the study was very serious and uneasy. Pei Ji clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the King of Liao is extremely brave and powerful. It is impossible to take action just now. Now that the Li Daozong army has been severely damaged, His Highness of Qi has been fully in the army. It can be said that the door is open north of Chang'an!
Then the Liao King would never go south just to act. He would definitely rush to Chang'an with lightning speed! I think he should respond immediately! I guess the Liao King would definitely take the shortest route to go south, that is, the sutra
Shuofang, pass through Yan'an, cross the Luo River to the south. Among them, Shangjun on the shore of Luo River will be his must-pass. I believe that I urgently ordered Shuofang Yan'an and the two counties in Yan'an to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and ordered the prefect of Shangjun to close the city and defend it. Your Majesty can still mobilize 10,000
The Beijing army went north to help Shangjun. If it could resist the enemy in Shangjun, it would be no better. If it could not, it would definitely be able to delay the enemy and weaken the enemy's agility! Then, you must defend the Wei River and
The capital will not be too difficult!"
Li Yuan nodded thinking and looked at Liu Wenjing. Liu Wenjing immediately clasped his fists and said, "What Master Pei said is very true. However, I think that relying solely on Guanzhong's current strength cannot guarantee that there will be no accidents. We should immediately dispatch troops from the East to help. His Royal Highness the Prince
There are 30,000 Changlin troops in Luoyang, and they will be supported by Luoyang for a few days. Your Majesty can urgently order His Highness the Crown Prince to lead his army back to the rescue. Furthermore, Fei Ge sent a letter to His Highness the King of Qin, and ordered him to immediately change the way to help Guanzhong!"
Li Yuan clicked the picture, "Okay! That's it!"
However, at this time, Li Shimin was not on the way back to aid. He was commanding his army to cross the Sanggan River. The two sides had been fighting for two days. Wu Yunzhao unexpectedly used the offensive-defense strategy to launch a Tang army that crossed the Sanggan River.
The attack caused the two sides to be stalemate for two days, but the Tang army never broke through the Liao army's defense line. However, the Tang army was approaching with many people, and Li Shimin was even more outstanding. On the third day, Li Shimin adopted the strategy of placing east and attacking west and attacking
The Liao army attracted to the east, but suddenly, he led 30,000 elite troops to cross the Sanggan River from the west with his fierce general Cheng Yaojin. At this time, only five hundred Liao troops guarding the Sanggan River on the west, and both sides were in Sanggan.
A bloody and cruel battle started on the river bank, and all five hundred Liao troops were killed. The elite Tang army led by Cheng Yaojin successfully crossed the Sanggan River and stood firm on the north bank. At this time, he was leading the army to prepare to resist the Tang army on the east side.
Wu Yunzhao, who had crossed the river, received an urgent report that Cheng Yaojin's troops had already crossed the river. In amazement, he could only lead his troops to quickly retreat back to Zhuojun City.
Subsequently, a large Tang army continuously crossed the Sanggan River and built a floating bridge on the Sanggan River. A large amount of supplies were transported over. After crossing the river, the Tang army did not rush to attack Zhuo County, but cut down trees to attack.
City equipment is preparing for the upcoming siege battle. Li Shimin knew very well how powerful the opponent in front of him was. Although their troops were far less than their own, it was not easy to capture Zhuo County, and they had to be fully prepared!
After two days of rest, the army was in high morale and rushed to produce countless siege equipment. On the third day, just as the sky was dawn, the sound of the Tang army's war drums broke through the morning mist. Wu Yunzhao received the emergency.
Reported, hurried to the city wall. A magnificent scene outside the city immediately came into view! I saw the army covered the sky like a tide, the arrow towers were like forests, the cold light of swords and guns flashed, the battle flags rolled like clouds, and shouts rushed to the sky
The surging fighting spirit seemed to be about to crush the city! Wu Yunzhao had never been afraid of any opponent, but his heart could not help but trembled. He came back to his senses, turned his head and roared: "Prepare for the battle!"
Chang'an Palace.
Pei Ji hurriedly felt the palace study, and reported to Li Yuan, who was paced back and forth, who was restless and restless: "Your Majesty, the north is urgently reporting that the Liao army has already arrived at the Luoshui River at lightning!" Li Yuan was shocked and couldn't help but say: "
So fast?!..." At this time, Liu Wenjing hurried into the study, clasped his fists at Li Yuan and said, "Your Majesty, I just received a letter from the King of Qin. King of Qin..." Li Yuan asked hurriedly: "What's wrong with him? Where is he now
"Liu Wenjing presented the letter and said, "This is what the King of Qin wrote to Your Majesty. Please read it!"
Li Yuan quickly took the letter and read it quickly. His face changed horror, and then he said angrily: "What does Shimin mean? At this time, he actually told me that he would not accept the orders of the outside king?!...
"
Liu Wenjing hurriedly said, "The King of Qin thinks we should be able to hold on. At this time, the main forces of the Liao army are all here. It is a great opportunity for the King of Qin to break through the enemy's defense line and sweep the entire Liao area! This is also the way to surround Wei and save Zhao.
If the Liao King learned that the situation in his lair was critical, he would probably give up attacking Chang'an and go to the east to help!"
When Li Yuan heard Liu Wenjing's words, his expression calmed down a little, and his face showed a thoughtful look. At this moment, the old eunuch Zhao Yong hurried in and bowed to Li Yuan with a happy face, "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince and the Heavenly Master."
The Empress personally led the 30,000 Changlin Army to come!" Li Yuan's face was happy.
Speaking of which, Chai Shao was ordered to lead 10,000 troops to Shangjun and gathered 3,000 local civilian troops. The city defense matters were naturally transferred from the prefect to the general sent by Chai Shao, the emperor.
Chai Shao had just arrived in Shangjun when an emergency report came. Nearly 200,000 Liao troops had arrived on the other side of Luoshui. Chai Shao immediately climbed the city wall and looked at the other side. He saw flags surging on the other side and soldiers were like tides. He couldn't help but brow.
A wrinkle. But then an excitement arose in his heart, and he couldn't help but murmur: "I will compete with you this time! So that everyone in the world knows that I, Chai Shao, are not inferior to you.
Zhang Lang!"
The prefect on the side saw that the Liao army was in a pale face and trembled continuously. He couldn't help but murmur: "This, this... can we defend it?" Then he said to the prefect with a smile: "The prefect is the prefect."
You don’t have to worry at all! The enemy’s long journey is already a tired army! Our army is waiting for work, so how can we not be able to defend the city!" When the prefect heard Chai Shao’s words, his originally worried heart couldn’t help but calm down.
Shao quickly returned to the hall of the prefect's mansion and summoned everyone to assign tasks.
At the same time, Zhang Lang stationed the army on the banks of Luoshui. In the tent, Fei Xu presented the Fei Ge's letter he had just received to Zhang Lang, saying: "The letter he had just sent from the poster." Zhang
