After all, he is the commander-in-chief appointed by Yuwen Yuanliang, as long as this position is not removed.
As long as this order is not conveyed to all armies, then all armies will follow Zhao Youlin's dispatch.
And Zhao Youlin is now fully prepared for a final fight with Datang.
He even mobilized the 30,000 coalition soldiers used to defend the Bingzhou Army on the southern front to the eastern battlefield.
His attitude is now very clear, and it is clear that he wants to fight to the death with Datang on the Eastern Front.
But if he wants to fight Datang on the Eastern Front, can he fight on the Eastern Front?
In the final analysis, it depends on what Li Chengqian means.
He can fight only if he wants to. If he doesn't want to fight, who can force him to do it?
…
When Li Chengqian received the battle report from the front line, he laughed directly.
"Zhao Youlin, Zhao Youlin."
"Aren't you just like a dog jumping over the wall in a hurry, and you want to bite me before you die?"
Li Chengqian said to Cheng Huailiang beside him: "Pass my order, the Liangzhou Army on the Eastern Front will set up camp on the spot and build barriers. No one is allowed to leave the camp to fight without my order."
"yes!"
Cheng Huailiang didn't say anything and went down to deliver the order.
After Cheng Huailiang went out, Changsun rushed to Li Chengqian's side.
Changsun Chong asked in confusion: "Your Highness, why don't you have a head-on decisive battle with them?"
"If our army wins, won't we be able to march straight in and seize the enemy's royal tent?"
"Do you think the war can be won so easily?"
Li Chengqian shook his head and said: "No matter what the other party says, there are still nearly 60,000 people. How many do we have in the Liangzhou Army?"
"At this point in the war, the remaining soldiers of the Liangzhou Army are only 30,000. Even if all the 8,000 people in our rear are pressed up, it will only be 40,000 at most."
"I'm not doubting our Tang Dynasty's fighting ability, I just think it's not worthwhile to fight with the opponent like this."
Li Chengqian raised the corner of his mouth and said: "Furthermore, if we try to destroy the second one three times now, we will only The remaining Xi people are struggling to support themselves, do you think King Xi might let the war continue?"
Hearing this, Changsun Chong raised his eyebrows and asked: "Your Highness, what do you mean..."
"You don't know what I mean?"
Li Chengqian gave Changsun Chong a look that showed that you understand as well as I do.
"The Xi clan can't afford to fight now. After all, the Northeastern Sanfang cannot compare with the vast resources of the Tang Dynasty."
"At this point in the war, they probably have all the supplies and soldiers they can mobilize internally."
"And now, King Xi must have dreamed of negotiating peace with us, but Zhao Youlin just doesn't want to."
"If not for this, he would not have been able to transfer all the soldiers on the southern front to the eastern front. After all, once the southern front is abandoned, the royal tent will become within easy reach of our army."
"Do you think King Xi is so stupid?"
After hearing what Li Chengqian said, Changsun Chong also suddenly realized.
He chuckled and said: "Then Your Highness is waiting for them to bite the dog?"
"clever."
Li Chengqian smiled and patted Changsun Chong on the shoulder: "Don't worry, they will collapse without a fight in three days at most."
…
The fact was just as Li Chengqian expected.
Not even three days had passed before the Xi tribe's camp was turned upside down.
King Xi Yuwen Yuanliang directly sent the Royal Guards Guards to come and arrest Zhao Youlin by name and return to the Royal Guards to resume his life.
Zhao Youlin faced the leader and said: "The general is outside, and I am not accepting your order. Now that the enemy is in front of you, Zhao will not be able to obey your order."
Upon hearing this, the leading minister sneered and said, "Shuai Zhao, please don't make things difficult for me. I'm just an errand boy."
"It would be best for you to follow the king's instructions, hand over your military power, and then return to the king's tent to report back to the king."
Hearing this, Zhao Youlin tilted his head and said, "What if I still refuse?"
"
hehe."
The minister still sneered: "Zhao Shuai, don't look at me calling you Zhao Shuai now."
"But you have to understand that this is just to give you a step down."
"Now you are no longer the favored minister who wanted to win the war. You are now just a guy who led an army to defeat."
These words directly touched Zhao Youlin's sore spot.
His face turned dark immediately.
But the minister didn't take it seriously and seemed to beat him up.
At this time, he said to Zhao Youlin with a face full of arrogance: "So Commander Zhao, stop pretending to be noble here, and quickly hand over the seal of commander, so that we can go back to work."
"hehe."
"You want me to hand over my handsome seal?"
Zhao Youlin waved to the other party: "Okay, come and get it!"
The minister didn't hesitate and walked towards Zhao Youlin with great arrogance.
Zhao Youlin seemed to have given up completely and pushed the handsome seal on the table towards him.
The minister thought to himself: "You know the truth."
He grabbed the handsome seal and held it in his arms, mockingly saying: "If Marshal Zhao had been like this, why would he bother to talk so much?"
After saying that, he turned around and completely exposed his back to Zhao Youlin.
And isn’t this just courting death?
Zhao Youlin almost didn't hesitate and stabbed the minister in the back with his knife.
Blood gushes out from the blood groove of the steel knife.
The minister's eyes widened and he tried with all his strength to turn around.
But how could Zhao Youlin give him this opportunity?
Zhao Youlin raised his leg and kicked the minister on the back.
Then he stepped forward, swung the knife in his hand, and slashed at the minister's body as if to vent his anger.
Blood and flesh splattered in the Chinese army tent, covering Zhao Youlin's body and face.
Zhao Youlin didn't wait until the minister was chopped into pieces until he was no longer human. stop.
He gasped for breath, threw away the knife in his hand, and then scanned the people in the tent.
At this time, the guys in the tent were all frightened, and they all looked at him with horrified expressions.
Zhao Youlin raised his head and said: "What are you waiting for? Why don't you quickly kill those guys with cholera's military spirit?"
After hearing this, everyone felt like they were waking up from a dream.
They are now also afraid of Zhao Youlin's methods.
Pity the royal guards who came with this minister.
They almost didn't even know what was going on, so they were killed by their own brothers who suddenly came up to kill them.
It's ridiculous that these people did not die in the hands of the enemy on the battlefield, but died in the hands of their own brothers.
After dealing with these people, Zhao Youlin walked directly out of the tent and shouted: "The whole army is gathering, we are sending troops today!"
…
On this day, Zhao Youlin directly led his troops to attack the Liangzhou Army camp.
In order to prevent the coalition soldiers from retreating, he even set up a military governor's camp before the war.
If you dare to escape from the battlefield, the warlord battalion will personally kill those guys without the enemy taking action.
Such high-pressure measures did have some effect.
The soldiers of the third coalition army rushed towards the camp one by one, risking their lives.
But after all, they are a tired army, and because of their consecutive defeats, their morale is not as good as before.
Some people even have the mentality that they will die in this battle even before the fight begins.
How could such an army compete with the Liangzhou Army, which was ranked among the top in combat power among all the armies of the Tang Dynasty?
After several successive charges, let alone breaking through the camp, the ground was already covered with the corpses of allied soldiers without even scaling the camp wall.
But even so, Zhao Youlin showed no intention of withdrawing his troops, and still let his soldiers charge desperately.
This is completely like suicide.
The appearance of Zhao Youlin is definitely a tragedy for the Northeastern Third Division...
