Chapter 516 God of War, Just One Step Away

As the sky gradually darkened, the birds in the forest became extremely noisy, and they were about to return to their nests one by one, but the arrival of these cavalry broke their tranquility again.

The Battle of Lanzhou finally fired the first shot.

When soldiers were crossing the Yellow River, Zong Chuke complacently wrote a letter to the court, explaining his plan and arrangement, and declared that the eight states would be completely taken back by the court in the near future.However, Li Xian was told in the letter that if Wang Hua failed to plot rebellion in Bazhou, he might become angry and jump over the wall in a hurry, so he ordered the government of each state to order all government officials and officers and soldiers stationed there to strictly enforce the law.Otherwise, if Wang Hua is in a hurry, the eight states will be lost, and the blood camp will be destroyed, and the chrysanthemums may bloom one by one.

Li Xian doesn't know much about military stuff, and he has no choice but to join forces with Tubo. Although he knows that Wang Hua has been wronged this time, but Wang Hua became independent in Bazhou, and then went to Sanzhou City to take food back in public. He is the emperor in his eyes.It made him dare not even live in Chang'an, which he couldn't bear.

Immediately after hearing the news, the officials were summoned.

Zong Chuke moved his lips a little bit, but how can the law be strictly enforced? Could it be that cities across the country will lock up the city gates and conduct close inspections?

If you really do this, the whole Tang Dynasty will be in chaos.

But Wang Hua is so easy to deal with?Didn't you see that Ke Zan's [-] army was wiped out in the blink of an eye?Even Kozenge himself was forced to surrender to the blood camp.

Therefore, I was a little worried, and invited Zhang Renyuan and Tang Xiujing, who was basically old and weak, because in fact, Old Tang was sick.The situation reported by the doctor is not optimistic.But it was worth it to live to his age.

The two looked at the marching map.Because of the blockade of Wang Huaxue Camp, there was no way to mark his marching route, but before the Silk Road was not cut off, Guo Yuanzhen's marching route, Chang Yuankai's marching route, and Zong Chuke's marching route, even silently The marching route of Xi Nuoluo and the marching route of Xin Nuoluo are all marked on the map.

In the eyes of ministers who don't understand military affairs, this map is just arrows.But in the eyes of Tang and Zhang, they turned into countless gold and iron horses running on the map.

Just judging from the military strength of the various armies on the map, it is not an exaggeration to say that the blood camp can be driven into the [-]th hell.

But the duo knew that wasn't the case.

When the various ministers were discussing how to prevent the riots of the Ju people, the two of them lay on the map. Many places in this battle were very unpopular. Sanlipo on the west side of the Yellow River, Mukeling outside Yanzhou City, and a slightly larger area Can't find it on the map at all.

Of course, they saw Zong Chuke's intentions at a glance, and they also knew that if all the tactics were successful, Wang Hua's blood camp would be doomed.

But is Wang Hua really so stupid?

The two watched for a long time, Tang Xiujing and Zhang Renyuan raised their heads almost at the same time, and said in a low voice, "Yellow River."

Seeing the two raised their heads, Li Xian asked, "You two lovers, what is Zong Qing's plan?"

In fact, Li Xianxin was also quite worried. Although it was said that the three parties joined forces and hundreds of thousands of troops were overwhelming the eight states, he was still uneasy about Wang Hua's strange record.And the victory is good, if it fails, the more than 20 horses will be wiped out like Ke Zanre's [-] army, which will be a great disaster for the Tang Dynasty.

Zhang Renyuan didn't answer, if he failed, the woman in the deep palace would definitely hate him very much, you have the ability, why didn't you ask the court for troops, but just sit and watch the court's hundreds of thousands of troops wiped out?Can vent his anger on him.

So he didn't answer, and asked Old Tang to answer.Anyway, Old Tang is dying now, how can he lead the army to fight?

But Old Tang still thought about it. Although Wang Hua blocked the eight states, he still got some limited information, so he gathered the information in his mind, reasoned it out, and then replied: "The operation of Zong Zong may not be successful. succeed?"

Old Tang's trembling voice was not loud, but with that sound, the whole court immediately fell silent.

Li Xian asked eagerly, "Why?"

"First look at the distribution of troops in the blood camp. The blood camp has seven armies and four brigades, with nearly 9 regular troops and 8000 reserve troops. The Battle of Lanzhou has not yet started, but looking to the northeast, General Manager Chang has already provided a lot of information in the memorial Although the strange buildings made of cement in Muke Ridge look like a roadblock, because there is no Dazhai, the number of people will not be very large, at most [-]. Yinzhou has [-] Yaoguang troops stationed by Kong Heitai. It was to defend against Turkic invasion."

Although he vaguely guessed in his heart that the imperial court had made some agreement with the Turkic people, he still used the word "invasion".He didn't know about this agreement, but it must be full of humiliating and humiliating content.

"In terms of military strength, the Yaoguang Army is at an absolute disadvantage, and Kong Heita's military vision is far inferior to that of Mochu, but Kong Heita has many experiences in fighting Turks, and his task is only defense, so he can take advantage of the danger of the city wall. Disadvantaged, but not in a dangerous situation. 1 people are enough. Mo Chuo himself is uncertain, he is sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, in order to gain the greatest benefit with the smallest loss. With [-] Yaoguang troops on one side Mochuo is not ready to fight right now, and Lingzhou City is tall and difficult to attack. Then the Kaiyang Army of the rebel general Ukeli can draw part of its troops. Using this force is more than enough for defense at Muke Ridge. Then in Yanzhou Where did the Yuheng army go?"

After finishing speaking, he drew a straight line on the map, rushed from Yanzhou to Nanhetao, and rushed towards Cao Cen's [-] troops.

Although there are 1 people, Cao Cen only has 2 people.For the current Blood Camp, a ratio of one to two is enough for a battle.

It was just a straight line, and many ministers began to gasp.

Li Xian shouted: "Send a letter to Cao Cen immediately."

To send a fart letter is to have a phone call, just dial one, two, three. It has been several days since Zong Chuke's memorial arrived in Luoyang, and the battle of Nanhetao has long since ended.It is possible that the Battle of Lanzhou has already reached the time of life and death.

But Li Xian, who was in a daze, still wrote an imperial edict and sent it to Cao Cen and Chang Yuankai.

Old Tang was not in a hurry, and sat there without saying a word.

Seeing that the imperial envoy had left, Li Xian turned his head to look at Old Tang and said, "Tang Qing, continue."

Tang Xiujing pointed to the map and continued: "Looking at Huizhou again, although Director Guo has marched and fought for many years, Huizhou has the danger of a city wall, and there are Wulan Pass and Huining Pass. The two passes are like two ghosts knocking on the door, guarding Huizhou The safety of the state. Director Guo thinks that it will be impossible to take the state city in a short time. Besides, the soldiers of the Blood Battalion he faces are powerful and have rich combat experience. Maybe they can take part of the Tianquan Army Troop strength. Look at the south. There are Tubo people in the south, but because of the battle in Shanxian County, the blood battalion won very cleanly, and the loss was not large. This is not the main thing. The main blood battalion only dispatched the Tianxuan Army and the Second Brigade, and Some militiamen. Where is the most powerful Tianshu army?"

That's not the case either, he also saw that Lao Guo hadn't made up his mind to fight Wang Hua, but because of his personal friendship with Guo Yuanzhen, he didn't point it out.

Having said that, he drew an arrow on the Yellow River, which represented that Zong Chuke sent an army to cross the Yellow River.But he didn't stop after finishing the painting. He drew a thick line from the middle of the Yellow River again, cut the arrow in two, and marked the Tianshu Army, Tianji Army, and the Second Brigade in Hexi.

Then he said: "The matter ahead is not on the front line, so I can't see it. This marching route is just a hypothesis of the minister. With Wang Hua's carefulness, it is impossible to leave this obvious loophole and let the chief executive Zong pry open the entire eight states. If this is the case, then according to my plan, the consequences will be disastrous."

After finishing speaking, he made a dotted arrow of the Second Brigade of the Three Armies and also crossed the Yellow River, but there were troops drawn from Hezhou and Shanzhou on the flanks, faintly aiming at Zong Chuke's army.

After finishing the painting, he sighed: "God of War, only one step away."

Then he thought for a while and added: "If what Xiang Chen said of the Bloody War Camp can be implemented successfully, Wang Hua will be the new God of War."

The ministers in the hall were even more silent.

Originally, there was no ranking list for Much Ado About Nothing.

But ever since Wang Hualei made a list of famous generals in the Tang Dynasty after he had done Dayan once, it has aroused the interest of many people.There are some boring people ranking the generals of the Tang Dynasty. The first two lists of Wang Hua are very authoritative, but there are still some disputes. Some people like bulldozer-style attacks, some like to show their personal strength, and some like feather fans and scarves.But no one dares to dispute the top two or three in the first two lists.Li Jing, Li Shimin, Li Ji, who dares to fight?Although dissatisfied with Lun Qinling, who dares to argue?Therefore, in the first two, whether it is about Qinling's invincibility or the unprecedented force value of General Xue, there is no controversy, but further down, there are disputes, mainly between Pei Xingjian, Liu Rengui, and Su Dingfang. dispute.What Wang Hua valued was the first battle with Japan, so he ranked Liu Rengui at the top, but more people liked Su Dingfang.

However, the position of the top ten is not big, even in the back, considering Wang Hua's status and authority in the military, it will not appear in the hearts of the people that the 39th place in Wang Hua's ranking will be 28th.

As for the next list, they knew that Wang Hua was messing around, so someone ranked Wang Hua again, and quite a few people ranked Wang Hua first.

However, these people are all living in the world, whether they are successful or not, there is no conclusion yet, and the controversy is even greater.

There are still many good things. After the generals of the Tang Dynasty are lined up, the generals from ancient China to the present are lined up.

But there are only three people who can really win the title of God of War.

Sun Tzu entered Ying with 3 people, and his book "Sun Tzu's Art of War" has been regarded as a military treasure by countless people.Then I went to Wu Qi. Although his fate was not very good after he came to Chu, no one dared to deny his military talent, and a copy of "Wu Zi" and "Sun Tzu's Art of War" went hand in hand.Then Li Jing, Li Xiaogong went to the south of the Yangtze River. Not to mention his strategic role in the middle, he was even more proficient in cavalry. The destruction of the Turks indirectly led to the collapse of the Arab Empire and the decline of the Eastern Roman Empire.

There are also generals who are half gods of war, such as Li Shimin, Chen Qingzhi, Liu Xiu, and Han Xin, a few of them.

And generals close to God, Xiang Yu, Sun Bin, Huo Qubing, Wei Qing, Zhou Yu, Wei Rui, Cao Cao, Ban Chao and so on.

Super generals, Zhuge Liang, Liu Yu, Le Yi, Tan Daoji, Wang Meng, Lu Xun and others.

Even Li Ji can only be ranked in the ranks of super generals, and there is an infinite distance from the god level.But when Old Tang said this, although he didn't define Wang Hua as Li Jingyu, Wu Qi, and Sun Wu, at least he stood side by side with Ah Chen Qingzhi and Han Xin.

This is old Tang's overestimation of Wang Hua, god level, Wang Hua is still out of reach now, but he can barely be on an equal footing with super generals.This requires the addition of his later generations' knowledge and military tactics that have not yet appeared in this world, in order to barely enter.Otherwise, with Wang Hua's military talent, there is still a long way to go from Lu Xun and the others.

But it is not wrong for Old Tang to say this. The reason why Wang Hua succeeded in bringing out the knowledge of his later generations is precisely because he has countless famous generals under his command to make up for Wang Hua's omissions.

In addition, Wang Hua has an advantage and is good at learning from others, so it plays the role of one plus one equals three equals four.

At least in this generation, Wang Hua's military talent was like a sun, shining on the land of the Tang Dynasty before there were no generals.

Dou Congyi said sourly: "It's just a weird style of play."

The others didn't say a word, and they played strangely, which was also Wang Hua's ability.If you have the ability, you may use this weird style of play to deal with Wang Hua!
Old Tang's words undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on Li Xian.

In fact, Old Tang exaggerated, the three war gods were not only invincible in their history, but also left precious military talents to future generations.For example, Sun Tzu, he left "Sun Tzu's Art of War", which made him one of the gods of war.

Wang Hua's military level is not weak, at least on the whole, it is several levels higher than his own estimate, but the distance from the God of War seems to be very far away.

But one thing is, before Ge Shuhan, Gao Xianzhi, An Lushan, Wang Zhongsi and others grew up, in this mortal age, Wang Hua was indeed very dazzling.

Also, Old Tang was indeed very capable, judging many of Wang Hua's plans based on the few information he had, but he didn't guess all the plans, let alone fully control the entire battle situation.

After hearing what Old Tang said, the imperial court immediately informed Zong Chuke to be careful not to mention it.

When the Battle of Kuizishan broke out, Xinuoluo came out of his hole like a poisonous snake.

He repeatedly watched all the battles with Wang Hua.

Because of the division of troops, Go Dayan was cut piece by piece by Wang Hua. Last year, Go Dayan lost too badly in this battle.So later on, neither Ke Zanre, Zong Chuke, Chang Yuankai, nor even the treacherous Mochuu dared to divide up easily.

But the result?

Ke Zangre did not divide his troops, but his defeat was even worse.

Therefore, he thought for a long time, it was not a question of whether to divide the troops, but also whether he was following the rhythm of the opponent.

Thinking of this, he was taken aback when Wang Hua appeared at Kelan Pass, but he was not scared away by Wang Hua.He retreated to Hululing.It can be regarded as right or wrong, but it really made Wang Hua very uncomfortable.If it is a frontal attack, with the strength in Wang Hua's hands, Wang Hua also dare not.

Even without fighting, the presence of this army allowed Wang Hua to allocate a lot of troops.

But how could Xinuoluo not fight?It's just that he didn't wait for the right time. Hearing that Zong Chuke had started to dispatch an army to cross the Yellow River, he realized with his keen intuition that this was a trap.But when Wang Hua took down Zong Chuke's 20 troops, he had to send out heavy troops.Including his appearance at Kelan Pass, I am afraid it is a bluff, deliberately scaring him away, so that the three states can spare their troops.Including the non-stop switching of defenses a few days ago, I was also taken aback.But the goal of this defense change is to draw out troops and carry out the Battle of Lanzhou.

Therefore, he decisively launched an attack.

Not for capture, not for booty.But for the whole battle, Wang Hua's troops must be withdrawn. Zong Chuke can be defeated, but not a big defeat. Only in this way can Wang Hua's troops be seriously consumed.If Zong Chuke was defeated like Ke Zanre and Wang Huaxue's troops were preserved, he would have a terrible headache when he was in Jishi Mountain in the future.

Not only send troops, but also divide them into two routes.

The first way was his favorite general Afuzan led [-] troops to attack Guangwei County, but in this battle he asked Afuzan not to seek meritorious service, but to seek no faults.The siege is false, but the siege and aid is true.

Moreover, he believed that the cities including the three states were basically empty cities, and even if there were troops stationed there, there would not be too many of them.

This attack was entirely tentative in nature.

And he attacked Dahua County by himself, and Dahua County was backed by the land of Jiuqu, with rich products, which he coveted for a long time.And with the help of Dahua County, they threatened Kuozhou City and separated Shanzhou and Hezhou.But unlike Zong Chuke's Qie, he really used the army in his hand to set a sharp knife between the two states.

Unexpectedly, in the small county of Dahua County, he also encountered a fierce counterattack.All kinds of offensive and defensive methods were exhausted, and both sides suffered heavy sacrifices.Of course, his soldiers were a little heavier.

On the third day of the attack and defense, in Dahua County, Xiao Song looked at the generals under his command and said, "Thank you for your bravery, but it's time."

The soldiers in Dahua County are all the militiamen of the Herringbone Division. The number is not large, only 5000, and only a small number of veterans of the Tianxuan Army are mixed in. These veterans play a guiding role.It is a miracle in itself to be able to hold out for three days under the onslaught of Xinuoluo's [-] army.

Although under Xinuoluo's onslaught, there were also serious casualties.

But in a strategic sense, the goal was achieved after a three-day delay.

On the fourth day, Xinuoluo was preparing to attack again early in the morning, but Dahua County was quiet.

It was terribly quiet, and he felt a little strange, but the siege was still an siege. The soldiers prepared the siege equipment and weapons one by one, and came to the top of the city, and built wooden ladders.Soldiers also climbed to the top of the city, but no one resisted.The Tubo soldiers stood a little dazed on the top of the city. In the past three days of fierce attack, everyone suffered heavy casualties.I didn't expect the enemy to give up all of a sudden, which made them uncomfortable.
Still a clever soldier ran to the Lu wall and opened the city gate.

Xin Nuoluo was also at a loss, unlike the county seat of Shan County, because of the terrain of Dahua County, the north and south gates were all surrounded by him with a large army, and they were retreating. Where did the blood camp retreat from?
Could it be that one by one grew wings and flew away in the night?
There are ghosts, there are definitely ghosts!
But the city still has to enter.After conquering Dahua County, the next step is Guangwei County, and the next step is Kuozhou City.

The soldiers were ordered to enter the city, but there was an order to destroy all the houses, regardless of whether they were thatched houses or tile houses, otherwise they might burn Dahua again in the blood camp like Shanxian County.

The soldiers received the order, entered the city, and began to raze the house, but it was wrong to do it, first they did it from both sides of the main street.After all, it is only a county seat, and its area is not large.But when I got on the roof, I realized that the roof was fake.In fact, it was discovered earlier that the houses were very strange. The doors of the houses were guarded by big iron gates, which could not be opened even if they tried to open them. Even the windows were inlaid with thick steel bars. Some soldiers were looking for tools to smash the doors.The roof was easy to peel off, but when the roof was peeled off, the blue-brown cement roof was exposed underneath.

Just as these soldiers were about to report to Xinuoluo, bows and arrows were shot from the windows of these houses.
