The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

Chapter 114 Wei Zheng is here
The offensive and defensive battle against Weizhou City lasted for five hours.

Under the powerful offensive of the White Robes, the Weizhou defenders struggled to defend and suffered heavy casualties.

However, Cheng Yaojin and Hou Junji who led the troops to meet the enemy were too brave. They led the army to kill Feng Li and Xue Wanche who were attacking the east and west city walls, and then surrounded and suppressed the main force of the white robe army who was attacking the north city gate.

In order to avoid being outflanked and resulting in the annihilation of the entire army, and as the weather was getting late and it was not suitable to continue the attack on the city, Yue Fei had to give up a good situation and ordered the withdrawal of his troops.

On the bank of the Yellow River, the white-robed military camps stretched for miles. After nightfall, a fire broke out.

In the handsome account.

"The general is incompetent and failed to resist Cheng Yaojin and Hou Junji, which resulted in the defeat of the army today. Please punish me, Your Highness!"

In front of Li Chengdao's desk, Feng Li and Xue Wanche both knelt down and spoke in a heavy tone.

Today's defeat was really not due to Yue Fei's command, but because the siege armies on the left and right wings failed, causing the main army to have to retreat. In other words, Feng Li and Xue Wanche had to bear a lot of responsibility.

Seeing this, Yue Fei stepped forward directly, cupped his hands and said, "I failed to consider the strength of Cheng Yaojin and Hou Junji. It should be me, the coach, who takes the responsibility, and I will be willing to be punished in the end!"

"No, the two of us are responsible for the defeat..."

Seeing that Yue Fei took the initiative to take over the responsibility, Xue Wanche couldn't help but said a little eagerly.

Li Chengdao smiled helplessly when he saw this, waved his hands and said, "Get up, you don't have to fight. It's just a defeat. Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs, so I won't punish you for this."

"Besides, who do you think your enemies are this time? They are all the top famous generals of the Tang Dynasty! If you can really capture Weizhou City in one day, wouldn't they be in vain? You also think too highly of yourselves."

Li Chengdao's angrily words made Yue Fei and the others blush, but they stopped talking and stood up from the ground.

Li Chengdao nodded, and then said to Yue Fei: "Today's siege battle was very good. Although we failed to capture the city, we will definitely defeat Li Jing within a few days."

"General Yue, you lead the troops well and deserve praise."

The performance of the White Robe Army today was very eye-catching, and their powerful combat effectiveness shocked even the enemy Li Jing.

If it weren't for Cheng Yaojin and Hou Junji who attacked with surprise and broke through the other two walls, it would be hard to say whether they would win or lose today.

In addition, Yue Fei was very meticulous about the changes in the battlefield and the deployment of troops, and his troops were seamlessly connected. He beat Li Jing to a bit of a state of embarrassment, which shows his high ability in commanding troops.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your compliment."

Hearing Li Chengdao's words of approval, Yue Fei felt slightly happy and quickly raised his hands and said.

"You are just telling the truth. When do you plan to send troops to attack the city again?"

Li Chengdao asked.

Yue Fei thought for a moment and replied: "We will continue to attack the city tomorrow after the army is repaired!"

"Okay! Then Gu will attack the city with the army, and Cheng Yaojin and Hou Junji will be left to Gu to deal with them."

Li Chengdao immediately decided that although Feng Li and Xue Wanche were brave, they were still weaker than Cheng Yaojin and Hou Junji. However, he was not inferior to the latter two at all, and he was even confident that he could defeat them one against two!
Yue Fei was taken aback and wanted to say no, but thinking of Li Chengdao's powerful force that surpassed all other armies, he acquiesced to the matter.

Based on his understanding of Li Chengdao, even if he didn't agree, Li Chengdao would still join the battle.Watching the army fight from behind is not Li Chengdao's style, and today is an exception.

If Li Chengdao had taken action today, he might have really captured Weizhou City.

After discussing today's battle with each other for a while, everyone dispersed. There were still many things to take care of in the army.

Only Li Chengdao and Jia Xu were left in the camp.

"How many casualties are there today?"

Li Chengdao suppressed the smile on his face and asked Jia Xu in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, there are a total of 340 casualties."

Jia Xu reported a number.

Hearing this number, Li Chengdao's pupils shrank slightly, and then sighed: "Li Jing is really a very human being, and he actually caused such heavy casualties to the White Robe Army."

The casualties in today's siege battle were really not small.

Although the casualties of the other side must be more than double theirs, the casualties of the White Robes still made him feel extremely sad.

In other words, Li Jing could only defend the city. Li Jing's command of the troops to change the defense was really impeccable. The white-robed troops who climbed up the city wall could not open a gap at all. If it were other defenders, I am afraid that the northern city wall would have fallen long ago.

"After this battle, Li Jing may have figured out the combat effectiveness of our white-robed army. The next attack on the city will definitely be more difficult..."

Li Chengdao said quietly.

The reason why today's siege went so smoothly and the Weizhou defenders were overwhelmed was largely because the strength of the White Robes exceeded Li Jing's and the Weizhou defenders' imagination, which caught them off guard.

After seeing the bravery of the White Robe Army, the opponent will definitely be more energetic in the next battle and resist the White Robe Army with all their strength.

This also means that the White Robes will have to pay greater casualties.

Jia Xu was also silent, but there was nothing he could do about this matter. Most siege battles were won with human lives.

Just as Li Chengdao was considering whether to lead his troops up the city wall during his next attack on the city, a guard suddenly walked into the commander's tent.

"Your Highness, a messenger claiming to be from Chang'an has arrived at the military camp. He said he was sent by Lord Wei Zheng, the official in charge, and he wishes to see Your Highness."

The guard reported.

"People sent by Wei Zheng?"

Li Chengdao was surprised and said that he was naturally very familiar with Wei Zheng, because this official was once an official of Prince Li Jiancheng's line, and had also been a guest at the prince's house.

Because of his outstanding talents and conduct, even after Li Jiancheng's death, Li Shimin did not harm him. Instead, he promoted him to the rank of official.

But why did this capable minister suddenly send someone to look for him?
After thinking for a moment, Li Chengdao raised his head and said, "Bring him in."
