A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 103
Wanda was not reconciled and growled angrily.

This Longxi county magistrate is very young, about the same age as Cheng Chumo, and he is also from Jiangnan. He was able to come to Longyou as a county magistrate at this age because of his extraordinary background.

His father is Wang Shihua, the king of Wu, of course the former king of Wu, and now Wang Hua, the Duke of Tangyue. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, he took the opportunity to capture six states including Shezhou, Xuanzhou, Hangzhou, Raozhou, Muzhou, and Wuzhou, and established the State of Wu. Claiming to be the King of Wu, he has a good reputation in Xuanhang.

Ten years of separatism!
However, he was later defeated by Du Fuwei's adopted son Wang Xiongdan, and Du Fuwei returned to the Tang Dynasty and was granted the title of King Wu. Wang Hua also dedicated six states to the Tang Dynasty. Governor.His younger brother Wang Tiefo brought his third son Wang Da to Beijing to offer a tribute.

The Wang family is the same as Li Yi in Youzhou, Du Fuwei in Jianghuai, and even Xu Shiji.Wang Da's entry into Beijing also had the intention of being a protégé. After serving as a guard in Beijing for several years, he was sent to Longyou. Wang Tiefo was appointed governor of Weizhou, and Wang Da was appointed magistrate of Longxi County.

Wang Da originally thought that after staying in Longxi for two years, he would be able to return to the capital, or even to the south of the Yangtze River. Who would have thought that he would die here now?
"Director Cheng, please immediately order to hang three red flags and call Wu Huaiyu to lead the hospital battalion to help!"

Cheng Chumo turned his head and glanced at Wang Da, "If you lost your head, it would be nothing but a scar the size of a bowl. After 18 years, we will be a good man again. We are already doomed. This Longxi county town has been guarded for so long. Wu Huaiyu and the hospital battalion came to support him, and he has just made great achievements, and he is a hero of the country."

"Please order!" Wang Da didn't care, he didn't want to die here, he was still young, he wanted to go back to Jiangnan.

Cheng Chumo narrowed his eyes, and there was already a bit of murderous look in his eyes.

"The Commander, please order."

"Fuck me, you are only a county magistrate, An Gan will command the chief supervisor."

Seeing him like this, Wanda turned his head and shouted, "Raise three red flags, immediately!"

"Who dares!"

Cheng Chumo grabbed Wang Da, put his big bear-like face directly on his nose, stared at him, and issued a low-key threat, "Don't think your father is the Duke of Yue, a member of the military governor of the six states. If you are a warlord, I will not dare to kill you, now is wartime, I am the sub-manager and I have the final say."

"Whoever dares to raise the red flag, I will kill him now." Cheng Chumo swept it four times.

Pushing Wanda away, Cheng Chumo threw down the sword and shield, replaced it with a big bow, and shot a Turkic cavalry filling the earth outside the city to the ground with one arrow.

"Fight to the death!" he yelled, his one eye glowing red.

My heart felt sad, but my courage grew stronger.

The son of the Duke who came to Longyou wholeheartedly to seek fame, is now in a desperate situation, but he is not as afraid of death as Wang Da. Even if he has to confess here today, he must fight to the end. He can't be cowardly, he must die Just like a real man, you can't lose the Cheng family's name.

"Fight to the death!"

Another arrow was shot, and then a Turkic filling cavalry was shot and killed.

"Brothers, kill, we have already killed enough, and now everyone who kills is making money!"

call out.

Several arrows aimed at Cheng Chu and shot silently, dodged left and right, but was still hit by an arrow in the socket of the shoulder, Cheng Chu became aggressive and broke the shaft of the arrow, ignoring the half of the arrow on the raglan, holding the bow and continuing to shoot He shot down and overturned a soldier who filled the soil.

Inspired by him, many city guards who were suppressed and squatted behind the parapet and under their shields also stood up one after another, holding bows and crossbows and shooting fiercely at the city.

On the east bank of Zhangshui, at the foot of Wucheng Mountain.

It is only a few miles away from Longxi County, and the danger of being raided and besieged can be clearly seen from the camp.

Longxi County did not raise the signal flag for help as agreed.

"Why didn't Manager Cheng send a signal? Can they hold on?"

"Do you want to wait any longer?"

Wu Huaiyu shouted, "Put on armor!"

"Longxi County is in dire straits, don't care about the signal or not, immediately beat the drums and blow the horn, let's go out of the battalion to reinforce Director Cheng!"

"The Turkic reinforcements have arrived suddenly, and the number is no less than five thousand. Adding the three thousand on the other side, there will be eight or nine thousand or even tens of thousands. Although we have added some civilians and filled the camp, we have not yet entered the field. Having recovered from the battle, we are very weak now..."

"It's already this time, and if you still talk about what to do, it's over."

Although it sounds stupid, Wu Huaiyu and the hospital battalion really have no other choice now. There is no signal for help in Longxi County, but Wu Huaiyu and the others dare not rescue them. The military law of the Tang Dynasty is very strict.

On the battlefield, officers like Huaiyu would have to be stabbed if they refused to save them.

Even if you have just made great achievements, it will not work.

Military law is ruthless.

What's more, it's psychologically unreasonable to see death and refuse to save him.

As for whether to fight or not, that's another matter.At least the Turkic people should not be allowed to besiege Longxi City so arrogantly and uninhabitedly, they have to restrain them, which is why Wu Huaiyu chose to set up camp here instead of going all the way to Longxi City.

In terms of the art of war, the city cannot be defended to the core. During offensive and defensive battles, the city gates cannot be blocked, and even soldiers must be sent to form an array outside the city to cover each other above and below the city. How to fight, no worries.

Therefore, a clever defensive strategy must be a three-dimensional defense. Not only must the city gates be opened at any time, and the city can be attacked at any time to counterattack, it must even be deployed outside the city and fought outside the city wall, so that the defenders can play their best role. City defense advantage, three-dimensional attack.

It is best to keep some fortresses on the periphery, so that you can threaten the enemy's side and rear at any time, prevent them from attacking the city with all their strength, and threaten their supplies of food and grass.

Wars have never been about numbers.

Now they do have a huge disparity in numbers, but they also have a geographical advantage.

"The signal flag has been raised in Longxi City,"

"It's not a red flag, it's a yellow flag, three yellow flags, Longxi City tells us to evacuate quickly!"

Huaiyu turned a deaf ear, he raised his horse high, pointed forward,
"The whole army is attacking the Gu Special Army Camp on the west bank of Zhangshui, follow me!"

The flood after the heavy rain has subsided, and now the Zhang River is not too deep, and you can cross the river directly on horseback.

Yu She's reinforcements stormed Longxi County, while Huaiyu led the entire hospital battalion to kill Gu Teqin Camp. No. Chongxiao.

Longxi County did not raise a signal flag for help, but Wu Huaiyu still attacked, and none of the [-] newly integrated soldiers in the hospital battalion flinched.

Putting on the armor and mounting the horse, Wu Huaiyi, the deputy general manager, still took the lead.

Huaiyu also brought dozens of cavalry, and followed behind the cavalry formation, while Fan Xuanfu stood by Huaiyu's side steadfastly, she saw no one else but Wu Erlang.

Anyone who dared to have any ill intentions towards Wu Erlang on the battlefield could not escape Fan Xuanfu's sword.

On top of Longxi city.

Wang Da looked incredulously at the soldiers of the hospital battalion rushing from the Xinxing camp to Zhangshui like tigers descending the mountain.

"They, didn't they see the three yellow flags to retreat?"

Cheng Chumo took the time to pull out a few arrows from his body. With the double armor on his body, a few arrows did not hurt the vitals, and the wound was not too deep. Pulled out the arrows, poured out the pills from the gourd around his waist, both to stop bleeding and to disinfect. Knocked two pills, squeezed another pill to stop bleeding and sprinkled it on the wound.

Frowning and finishing all this, Cheng Chumo swallowed his throat, and said to Wang Da disdainfully, "Do you think everyone is as greedy for life and afraid of death as you are? Does Wu Erlang, the white-robed chief executive, have a false reputation? If he can be appreciated by His Highness the Crown Prince, it can make him feel ashamed." Chief Chai sent as a reinforcement, and with a newly patched battalion head, he could wipe out a considerable number of [-] Turkic cavalry, and even behead generals and capture the flag. In addition to bravery, he also had great resourcefulness and great responsibility! "

"Let's study hard."

After scolding Wanda, Cheng Chumo looked at the hospital camp rushing towards the Gu Teqin camp in the distance. The apricot tree gourd and silver needle flag was very conspicuous, and he sighed, "You bastard, why bother? The prince will not behead you for your great work.
But if you rush up like this now, we brothers can only gather together here to be a ghost to accompany you. "

"Brothers who are still alive in the Right Battalion of the Right Pioneer Army, hand over the city wall to the Minzhuang of Wang County Magistrate. Let's fight out of the city and fight to the death!"

"Kill the wolf!"

Cheng Chumo roared.

"Come along!"

The voices responded one after another. The two hundred soldiers of the Right Pioneer and the Right Battalion who were still alive on the top of the city were covered in blood. Many of them didn't even have a lot of arrows stuck in their armor, just like porcupines.

"Go, kill the wolf!"

With the determination to die, Cheng Chumo went all out.

Gather behind the city gate and ride on their horses. A group of Longyou soldiers who are scarred and exhausted are still full of fighting spirit and murderous aura.

"Open the gates!"

Cheng Chumo gave an order, the Longxi city gate opened and the suspension bridge was lowered.

Cheng Chumo took the lead and killed them, followed by more than 200 government soldiers, who also resolutely rushed out with the will to die.

The warriors in iron armor urge their mounts to rush out of the city gate, and charge all the way along the city wall. They are like fearless dead soldiers, more like undead warriors.

Go forward, go forward bravely.

A few miles to the east.

Wu Huaiyi and Wu Huaiyu brothers brought more than 500 cavalry, like wolves and tigers, and they also killed Zhangshui like chicken blood, and the Turkic cavalry rode their horses to meet them.

The cavalry of the hospital battalion directly threw the remaining ten or so palm thunders, and there was a rumbling explosion. The sound and light effect during the day was not as good as that at night, but it exploded all at once, and it was also the valley that let the troops lead the troops to kill them. The special service elite suffered a big loss.

I have never encountered this thing before, and the defeated soldiers who fled back said that Tang Jun could borrow Tianlei, but who would believe it?
Those unlucky guys were even beheaded by Gu Teqin and hung in front of the camp for public display, and they are still growing maggots.

People turn their backs.

The horses ran in panic.

Wu Huaiyi's many years of riding and shooting skills were fully displayed at this time, he galloped his horse and charged straight in, and Zhang Ba's black lacquered horse showed his might, stabbing one by one.

The Turkic people wanted to block the hospital camp in the river, but who knew that the vanguard scattered when they met each other, and the cavalry of the hospital battalion directly killed them ashore, and directly followed the fleeing Turkic soldiers into the camp.

Numerous infantry behind also quickly crossed the river, quickly assembled on the west bank, and then chased the cavalry.

The narrow road meets the brave to win!

The [-]th Hospital Battalion took the initiative to attack Gu Teqin, and the two sides fought chaotically in the Yuanyang River on the west bank of Zhangshui. Gu Teqin originally dispatched Qianqi to join the siege of Longxi City on the north bank of the Wei River.

But now his remaining [-] men and horses couldn't withstand the impact of the Tang army.

"Damn, I miscalculated." He has more than 1000 horses and horses, and there are more than [-] real cavalry. The rest are the auxiliary soldiers and servants of him and Que Teqin.

"Hurry up and call back the thousand elite riders who crossed the river,"

"No, it's not enough, borrow another five hundred rides from them, preferably a thousand."

Gu Teqin, with a high nose, deep eyes and a bearded face, was a little flustered at the moment as he looked at the retreating troops in front of him on horseback. "Why are these people so arrogant and not afraid of death?"
