A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 780 The setting sun is like blood
The setting sun is like blood,

The water of Zuojiang River has been dyed red with blood. On the battlefield not far from Congzhai, corpses are lying on the ground.

The black banners and flags of the Dongxi barbarians in Zhuxi are broken and broken,

There are countless arrows stuck on the battlefield, like iron thorns growing out of the ground,

The bronze war drums with cloud and thunder patterns were still beating, but they were already low and weak. The surviving Xitongman roared in despair, trying to fight back.
It's a pity that there is no way to save it.

The Tang army has surrounded them from three sides, and even many ships have appeared on the Taotao Zuo River behind the barbarians, with archers standing on the decks.

Besieging the city and calling for reinforcements,

This is one of the most classic tactics,

But Huang Gan, the puppet Sino-Vietnamese king of Huang Jiadong, still made a mistake in order to rescue Longzhai. He mobilized many Xidong barbarian warriors and tried to fight the Tang army head-on in Longzhai.
Unfortunately this is a trap.

It's not that the Tang army couldn't capture Longzhai, it was just that they deliberately used it as bait.

When the barbarians marched at full speed to help, tired all the way, and when they were about to reach Longzhai, the Tang army ambushed them. They were surrounded on the riverside plain with no danger and nowhere to retreat.

When they discovered that the Tang army was attacking extremely fiercely and wanted to retreat, they found that it was too late.

The Tang army was well prepared. The cavalry charge crushed their will, and the Modao army chopped their formation into pieces. With their amazing armor-wearing rate and bow-wielding rate, the Tang army could both attack and defend.
Crows are circling in the sky, preparing for a feast.

The barbarians were retreating steadily, suffering heavy casualties, and soon turned into a rout.

The reinforcements of up to 3 Yue barbarians could not hold out for an hour in front of less than half of the Tang army. Although the number of Yu barbarians was large, under the in full swing of the Tang army's offensive, it was quickly revealed that they were fighting on their own. There is a lack of unified command and even a fundamental lack of determination.

Although they all support Huang Gan, these people come from various streams in the Zuoxi River Basin. Among the stream leaders, although Huang Jiadong has the strongest Huang Gan power, they are not Huang Gan's subordinates.

They were actually a loose alliance, with various departments fighting overtly and secretly, and even having many personal worries and old grudges. They reluctantly united under the banner of anti-Tang Dynasty, but after suffering such a violent blow, they quickly collapsed.

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist, and the same is true for barbarians.

The Tang army was unstoppable, the battle line kept advancing, and the cavalry kept running to intercept them.

The barbarians were scattered and lost their fighting spirit. They could only be slaughtered by others, and were finally surrounded by the river.

The sound of hoofs came.

Under the banner of Tang Jun Sanchen, Wu Huaiyu personally directed this battle. The pace of this battle was well controlled from beginning to end.
The defeat of the barbarian was within his expectation.
The combat effectiveness of the Tang army was as brave as ever.

Compared with the original elite soldiers from Zhongzhong, the Hubarians are indeed not good enough. Whether it is equipment, combat literacy, or will, they are not of the same magnitude, let alone the command and supply levels.

"Send people to persuade them to surrender. As long as they are willing to surrender, they will not be killed."

Huaiyu looked at the desperate barbarians. This siege and rescue operation was very classic. He successfully lured [-] barbarians out of various Xidong villages in the Qianli River Basin of Zuoxi.

It would be difficult to attack one village after another.

If they escape into the mountains, it will be even harder to encircle and suppress them.

As the battle continues, 3000% of the [-] barbarians have been killed, and more than [-] people have been killed. This death rate is ridiculously high because the fight did not last long.

It can be said that the barbarians were almost defeated in one blow, and were later chased and slaughtered. They did not look like an army at all. Many of them even died in the trampling of their own people.

They were all defeated, and some tribes actually started fighting with each other, which was shocking.

At this time, there are still people who want to avenge old grudges and take the opportunity to attack and kill their enemies.

Faced with these situations, there was no command at all from the barbarian side.

In fact, until now, the barbarians are still there at all. They are still three times the number of the Tang army, but in fact they are what they are now, and there is no trace of fighting spirit at all.

If it weren't for the warships and archers on the Zuojiang River, I'm afraid many barbarians would have jumped into the river and fled.

The sound of horse hooves approaching. A knight jumped off his horse and came to Wu Huaiyu.

"Xiangguo, urgent message from Chang'an."

Huaiyu, who was wearing armor, took the letter and sat on the pony under his banner.
Open and browse.

Huaiyu's face was expressionless, and none of the surrounding camp staff could tell what was going on.

Nowadays, Wu Huaiyu is able to remain calm and indifferent to emotions and anger. This is a quality that a superior person must have, and he cannot let his thoughts be exposed.

Especially on the battlefield, you should not let your emotions affect the war.

He silently folded the letter, put it back in the envelope, and put it away.

silent.

No one dared to ask.

The Tang army continued to advance, and some sporadic resistance was wiped out.
An officer was ordered to ride his horse to the riverside and shouted to the barbarians gathered here to surrender.
"Surrender to avoid death!"

The barbarians were in shock, but they did not make a decision right away. They were hesitating, either because they were unwilling to give in, or because they were afraid that the Tang army would not keep their word and would kill the prisoners after they surrendered.

A group of Ximan Xidong leaders gathered to discuss countermeasures.

Wu Huaiyu was not in a hurry. He gave them time, and he was not afraid that they would have a chance to breathe before they could regroup to fight back or break through.

Their previous performance had already allowed Huaiyu to see through them.

What's more, even if these bosses have this determination, their subordinates don't have the fighting spirit. The army's loss of fighting spirit cannot be reversed with just a few words.

The wind blows,
Brings a strong smell of blood.

Huaiyu sat on the horse, motionless as a mountain.

But my mind was already a little confused with the arrival of the letter.

"Satisfactory!"

When Wu Huaiyu saw the name Chengxin on the emergency report given to him by Chen Sheng, he already knew something was wrong.

Chen Sheng said that Chengxin was originally a music boy from Taichang Temple. He was an extremely handsome young man who was good at singing and dancing.

Chen Sheng and Li Dejiao haven't found out more information or confirmed it, but Wu Huaiyu already knows that there is a big trouble.
Because originally in history, Prince Cheng Qian had a big problem with the matter of satisfaction.

Satisfied, this is not Le Tong's original name, but the name given to him by Cheng Qian after he favored him.
This happy boy praised the prince's heart.

What's even more frightening is that the prince is not just admiring the singer and dancer, but the prince who is as handsome as a beauty. The prince dotes on the prince to the extent that he goes out and sleeps with her every day, and even sleeps with her.

The prince and Cheng Xin may have had a beautiful young love.

This kind of thing is not a big deal among literati, especially during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, when it was a model of bohemian freedom.

But when it comes to the Crown Prince, it is very inappropriate.

Especially Li Shimin, who had high hopes for the prince, could not accept it. Li Shimin loved beauties, and he loved the country even more. He was also the Emperor Wu who was about to conquer the world.

How could he accept that his prince had a broken sleeve?

Before, Cheng Qian did not want to accept martial arts Su's daughter, so he had a very unpleasant quarrel with the emperor. Now that he has such a wish, can the emperor be satisfied?
No wonder things have changed so drastically.

No wonder he never knew what happened.
Obviously no one wants this kind of thing to spread.

Crown Prince Cheng Qian is only fourteen this year, why is he bent...
