Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 887

Du Ruhui once told the emperor that the imperial court can support this war for three months at most.If the war cannot be ended within three months, Daqin will collapse.

Now, two months have passed.

Although it is not over yet, the dawn of victory has already qualified.

The Qin army successively defeated Chai Shao's [-] Tang troops, Gao Tansheng's tens of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers, and Song Jingang and Zhen Zhai'er's Zhaojun and Xiangguo counties, and recovered these two counties and Shanggu, Zhuo County.

Now, with this rebellion in Shenwu City, and Feng Xiaoci's battle with Xia Jun in Shanggu, not only Liu Wuzhou has become a lone city in Yanmen, but Xia Jun has also been isolated to the east of Taihang.

Before the sand table.

The privy envoy Zhang Xutuo pointed to the terrain of Daibei with a bamboo whip, "Your Majesty, at present, about [-] soldiers and horses of Liu Wuzhou are trapped in Yanmen City, and there are about [-] defenders at Loufan Pass, Tucheng, and Xixing Pass. , Mayi City still has about [-] soldiers and horses, but as long as we take Yanmen City, the three gates cannot be defended."

"Xia General Liu Heita's Xia Turkic Army has about 3 people, and now they are trapped in Lingqiu City, surrounded by General Feng's [-] troops."

"Yunzhong City is still under the control of Liu Hongji, Yu Chiliang and Li Keshi. Now with the support of Luo Guozhong and his [-] vassal cavalry, it should be able to defend for a while longer."

"Below Yunzhong City, Jieli's Turkic army is only 11 now."

"Only 11? Impossible, didn't Jieli claim 20 when he went south?"

"It was 20 when he went south, but he also lost thousands of troops when he attacked Dingxiang and Dali City. In Dali City, he was annihilated by the king of Jin and 5000 remaining soldiers. After that, he attacked the three cities in Yunzhong and died of severe summer fever. There were nearly ten thousand casualties and casualties in the siege. And the [-] people in Zhuojun were also annihilated by Zhao Gui."

"And in Shenwu just now, another [-] yuan was lost."

"Another [-] people were trapped in Liu Heita's Lingqiu. In addition, Jieli sent [-] troops to chase King Jin, but they went in the wrong direction. Now they have gone to Xijing."

It was originally claimed that the coalition army was 60.

But now, the entire Daibei enemy army is divided into three parts, and the Yanmen Mayi area has about [-] generations of troops.

There are about [-] Xia troops in Lingqiu City.

Under Yunzhong City, there are about 11 Turkic troops.

Added up, it's only 21, and it's so scattered.

In contrast, today's Qin army has not decreased but increased in strength.

After Zhao Gui regained Zhuojun, although he had some losses, he replenished some from the rebel army, and the number increased instead of decreasing. Now, in addition to the [-] feudal cavalry who arrived in Yunzhong, he also led [-] cavalry.

Feng Xiaoci fought a few battles in Shanggu, and also fought from 5 to more than 6. Now, in addition to the first army left behind in Shanggu, Hengshan, Boling, Zhaojun, and Xiangguo, he also led [-] people to encircle Lingqiu.

In Shenwu City, there is also a group of soldiers from Luo Danen and Gao Manzheng. After they have taken some prisoners, there are more than [-] people.

As for Yanmen City.

The imperial army led by the emperor was 10, and another [-] people split off to attack.

Not to mention, now Taiyuan and other counties have sent [-] soldiers from the county to help out.

The Qin army has formed an overwhelming numerical advantage over the enemy in Daibei.

"Your Majesty, the old minister suggested to close the door and beat the dogs. Let General Zhao Gui lead his 6 men to detour to the north of Yunzhong, capture Niupi Pass, and block the way for the Turks to escape to the north. Let Luo Daen and Gao Manzheng go north from Shenwu and lead his 3 troops People blocked the Shahu pass."

"The generals Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin stepped up their attack on Loufan Pass and Xixing Pass. After breaking through the pass, they went northward to Pinglu Valley and occupied Piantou Pass of the Great Wall."

Luo Cheng looked at Zhang Xutuo's strategic plan, which was almost to encircle Jieli on all sides, repeating the scene where Shibi Khan's entire army was wiped out in Mayi a few years ago.

Wei Wensheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, proposed a bolder plan at this time.

"Your Majesty, in order to prevent Xieli from smelling something bad and fleeing ahead of time, I thought that we could temporarily encircle Yanmen without fighting, and concentrate our elite forces to attack Xixing Pass first, and after entering Mayi, pull out Mayi City, and then seize Pianguan, Kill Huguan, Niupiguan, etc., encircle Xieli on all sides, and never give him a chance to escape!"

According to what the old man said, although Liu Wuzhou has tens of thousands of troops guarding Yanmen, but he is just a turtle in a urn, it is enough to send a soldier to guard him, and after cleaning up Xieli, he will come back and beat him.

"Your Majesty, the Turkic people are a serious problem after all. If Xieli is allowed to run away, it will take a few years for him to recover his strength again, and it will be troublesome to invade again at that time."

Several veterans believed that the opportunity was never to be missed, and it would never come again.

Right now, Xieli is still a little confused about the situation, and his intelligence is seriously lagging behind, so it is not clear that the Qin army has fully taken the initiative in the war.

Wei Wensheng and others believed that they should seize this time difference and not give him a chance to react.

Another battle of annihilation.

A few years ago, Luo Cheng fought a war of annihilation in Mayi, annihilating Shibi Khan's southern invasion army. After a few years, the south of Yinshan Mountain was no longer owned by the Turks.If Turkic can be wiped out again this time, then Turkic will be completely down.

"Your Majesty, if we win this battle, the North will be safe for 30 years!"

Now even Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and other civil servants and prime ministers rolled up their sleeves and shouted for a fight.

"We must encircle and annihilate Jieli, encircle and annihilate him."

"We must not let him escape."

"If you refuse to accept the surrender please make peace, destroy him!"

Looking at these menacing prime ministers and old men, Luo Cheng couldn't help laughing, this is the spirit and spirit, facing Xieli's menacing approach, no one in the Qin Dynasty was ever persuaded.

Now, no one said that they should be lenient and magnanimous, and they would never kill them if they had the opportunity.

In the second year of the Great Qin Kaiyuan, the last ten days of June.

The emperor adjusted his strategy again under Yanmen Pass.

With Zhang Xutuo and Wei Wensheng leading [-] banned troops and [-] county soldiers and Xiangyong to continue to besiege Yanmen City, the emperor mobilized [-] troops to storm Xixing Pass and enter Mayi.

Cheng Yaojin and Xue Wanche led an army of [-] to attack Loufan Pass.

The task of the emperor's main army is to break through the Xixing Pass and go north to Yunzhongcheng to hold back the main force of Xieli. Cheng Yaojin and his team's task is to break through the towers and then capture Mayi, and then divide their troops to defend the partial pass and assist Hu Daen and the others to guard and kill Hu. close.

"Can food and grass be supplied?"

The emperor asked Du Ruhui.

The right servant's face was flushed, and he patted his chest and said, "Even though the emperor is in a decisive battle with Xieli at the front line, I will try my best to ensure the supply of food, grass and armaments."

At this time, the summer grain had just been harvested, and the crops in many fields such as Yanmenloufan in Taiyuan, Hedong had just been harvested. The batch of new food seized on the spot greatly relieved Du Ruhui's pressure.

At this time, Qin's monarchs and ministers were no longer satisfied with repelling Xieli's Turkic army, nor were they satisfied with recovering the Daibei counties. Their goals were more obvious and their appetites were greater. Annihilation, don't even think about leaving when you come.

In this battle, it is necessary to fight for 30 years of peace in northern Xinjiang.

In this battle, the Turks will be destroyed!
This will be a battle to destroy the country in one fell swoop!
