Changsun Jiaqing, who was being ordered to advance towards the Daming Palace, was shocked when he heard the news that the Wenshui and Wu clans had been completely annihilated. He quickly ordered his troops to stay in place and strictly guard the surrounding area, and then sent someone to ask Changsun Wuji for instructions.
Wenshui and Wu clan were dispatched to the north of Daming Palace and south of the Weishui River. They hoped that when the war started, they could penetrate directly into the western area of Longshouyuan and follow the west side of Daming Palace to directly threaten the Youtun Guards outside Xuanwu Gate and make them
The rat-throwing weapon must send out a large army to contain it, so as to cooperate with the eldest son Jiaqing to attack the Daming Palace in one go.
It is known all over the world that Wu Meiniang was deeply favored by Fang Jun, and she was unique in taking charge of many properties of the Fang family as a concubine. This shows that her status in the Fang family is extremely important. As Wu Meiniang's natal family, the Wenshui Wu family is also the daughter of the Fang family.
In-laws, even when the two armies are facing each other, will inevitably be open-minded due to Wu Meiniang's affection and will not fight to the death, but they cannot let it go and be restrained by it.
This was the situation that Changsun Wuji expected, so he chose the Wenshui and Wu clan, whose combat power was not worth mentioning, to cooperate with Changsun Jiaqing, instead of the other powerful clan armies.
As a result, the army had just been mobilized and the official battle had not yet begun. With a thunderous strike, the Youtun Guards directly defeated the Wenshui Wu clan and cut off a sharp knife that was intended to penetrate the western area of Longshouyuan.
As for the massacre, Changsun Jiaqing and others understood it to have two meanings. One was that Fang Jun deeply hated the Wenshui and Wu clan's "eating in and out" style, so he used severe measures to teach him a lesson; the other was that he hoped to use this cruel method to frighten everyone.
Road clan army.
Whether the method of "massacre" can have a deterrent effect depends on the opponent. If the opponent is an elite member of the regular army, such violence will arouse the opponent's determination to share the same hatred and fight to the death. Of course, the armies of various clans seem to be vast.
, the momentum is terrifying, but in fact they are mostly a mob. They came here not only to fear the coercion and inducement of Changsun Wuji, but also to take advantage of the situation and grab benefits. How could they fight against the East Palace?
I don’t have the guts to fight, let alone the ability…
Therefore, the "massacre" carried out by Youtunwei was still very intimidating. It is conceivable that the aristocratic troops who had high morale and were just waiting to seize the fruits of victory must have been deeply affected, and thus became timid and timid.
This made the eldest son Jiaqing a little worried. The original plan was to use the troops from all walks of life as the vanguard to fight to the death with Youtunwei. No matter what, they would create a huge momentum and suppress Youtunwei no matter how high the price was.
Otherwise, it would not only be insufficient to demonstrate Changsun Wuji's ability to mobilize troops and generals, but it would also be unable to pressure Fang Jun to agree to the peace talks, thus allowing the Changsun family to calmly control the leadership of the peace talks.
It was he who suggested that the Wenshui and Wu clan be placed on the strategic ground north of the Daming Palace to contain part of the troops of Youtun Guard. However, he did not expect that the Wenshui and Wu clan could not resist even one round and were defeated and even massacred.
All...
Now faced with the Youtun Guards who are like wolves and tigers and do not recognize their relatives, company commander Sun Jiaqing is wary, let alone those powerful troops who are just trying to join in the fun?
After this battle, the goal of suppressing the Youtun Guards was not achieved. Instead, the morale on our side was low and they were frightened...
The eldest grandson Jiaqing walked around anxiously in the formation, looking up to the north from time to time.
Not far to the north, the increasingly tall Longshou Plain stretches across the east and west. The lush mountain forests are like ghosts in the dark night, and the night wind rustles, as if there are endless wild beasts lurking, which makes people afraid to stay away.
It’s easy to step into it.
Is it possible that this well-planned revenge operation had to fail before it was fully launched?
The eldest grandson Jiaqing was extremely depressed.
Soon, the war horses galloped from the south, penetrated the entire position, came to Changsun Jiaqing, and handed Changsun Wuji's order.
The eldest son, Jiaqing, quickly took the document and used the torch beside him to illuminate the ten lines.
The order is simple, continue to advance north, but slow down the speed, send all scouts to explore Longshou Plain, and avoid being ambushed by the right garrison. If you encounter enemies, you can deal with them as appropriate...
The eldest grandson Jiaqing thought for a moment and understood the meaning.
This large-scale retaliation operation was actually divided into two groups, one was his side, and the other was a private army composed of soldiers from the Changsun family's "Woye Town" led by Changsun Long, as well as many clan armies, one in the east and one in the west.
The Qi Dynasty advanced northward, trying to overwhelm the Youtun Guards and find it difficult to take care of them all. The Wenshui and Wu clans were a secret move planned by their eldest son Jiaqing on their own initiative. Now it has completely lost its effectiveness, so it is not worth mentioning.
Changsun Wuji meant that the whole army should continue to advance, creating the illusion that it was proceeding according to the original plan, but in fact, it was slowing down to ensure safety, waiting for Yuwenlong to form a formation with Youtunwei first, and then make a decision as appropriate.
To put it bluntly, let the Yuwen family take the lead and see how the Youtun Guards respond and see if there is any opportunity. If there is an opportunity, the entire army will be sent out to attack the Youtun Guards head-on regardless of casualties. If not, then
Encamp in a safe place, or withdraw to the camp as soon as possible.
There is only one core purpose - don't ask for victory, but ask for no mistakes.
After all, the war situation has developed to this point, and striving for victory is certainly the stated goal, but at the same time, properly preserving strength is also the top priority.
No one knows which direction the situation will develop in the future. Only with soldiers in hand and strong strength can we continue to spy on greater interests while protecting ourselves...
Changsun Jiaqing immediately ordered that the entire army continue to advance. However, all the scouts were searching the front inch by inch to ensure that it was safe before the army moved forward. With such an extremely cautious approach, safety was indeed safe, but the speed of marching
It can be called "turtle speed".
…
On the other side, Yu Wenlong, who is over sixty years old, wears a dagger and rides on a war horse, showing his snow-white eyebrows and beard. His tall and thin body stands like a javelin on the horse, with one hand holding the horizontal knife on his waist, which is quite impressive.
A bit like a famous general in the world.
The generals on the left and right did not dare to be careless at all. They all tightened their spirits and were always paying attention to the surrounding disturbances.
I think Yu Wenlong was indeed a brave general in the army back then, but as he got older these days, he was just training soldiers among his clan. He had not experienced battles in person for many years, so he was inevitably a little rusty. But the Youtunwei opposite him had been fighting for many years and had fought hundreds of battles.
Hundreds of victories, fierce fighting power. In the army, whether it is the commander-in-chief Fang Jun, or the deputy generals Gao Kan, Cheng Wuting and others, they are all considered to be famous generals in the world, with outstanding military exploits.
The two armies are facing each other, and the rebels are really under great pressure...
The tactic of having a quick army is not effective at the moment. The armies of both sides are not far apart, and battles have broken out one after another before. Both sides are tense for fear of being attacked by the other side. There are scouts watching each other's every move at all times.
There are no secrets to speak of.
Yu Wenlong didn't care about this. Now the rebels had the upper hand. The number of troops dispatched this time reached more than 60,000. There was an endless stream of tens of thousands of troops in the area from Kaiyuanmen to the north. The formation was rigorous, and there was no need for any conspiracy at all.
Just push it all the way through.
After all, in the east of Chang'an City, Changsun Jiaqing's troops were moving north at the same time, using a two-pronged approach. The troops of Youtunwei need to be divided into two to take care of both sides. How can they withstand the tyrannical crushing of Yuwen family's "Woye Town" soldiers?
"Report! The Tubo Hu cavalry near the Zhongwei Bridge have left the camp and gone south. They have arrived near Guanghua Gate and Jingyao Gate. More than ten thousand cavalry are waiting for danger."
Scouts came from afar and came forward to report the military situation.
Yu Wenlong looked indifferent: "Want to use the geographical location to protect the left wing of Xuanwu Gate? Nazanpo took it for granted. Although the tens of thousands of barbarian cavalry are powerful in combat, our troops are several times larger. As long as we fight steadily, we can definitely defeat the enemy."
The army continued to advance.
After a while, another scout came to report: "Gao Kan led more than 10,000 Youtun guards and horses to the east bank of Yong'an Canal and formed an array near the water."
Yu Wenlong frowned: "You want to line up with the Tubo Huqi on both sides of Yong'an Canal, lean on each other, support each other, and defend Yong'an Canal? This is a good strategy, but if our army does not attack by force, what can he do?
What can I do?"
Looking at the formation put up by Youtunwei, it is clear that they are not seeking to defeat the enemy, but only want to defend. This is extremely inconsistent with the arrogant and fierce style of Youtunwei. It is expected that Fang Jun also knows that he cannot have both sides, so he plans to defend Xuanwu Gate.
The left wing, and then concentrated its forces to defeat the Changsun Jiaqing tribe who coveted the Taiji Palace.
After all, the terrain of Longshouyuan is too important. Once the Daming Palace on Longshouyuan is lost, Changsun Jiaqing's troops can go straight down to the Youtunwei camp outside Xuanwumen. The threat to Youtunwei and Xuanwumen is too great.
It is not difficult to choose between the two enemies on the left and right.
"The whole army is advancing without any delay. When it arrives outside Gwanghwamun, it will be in formation and waiting. No rash advance will be allowed."
"Here!"
When tens of thousands of military chariots and horses passed the northwest corner of Chang'an City with flags fluttering, and the brightly lit Gwanghwamun Gate was in sight, the scouts reported back again.
"Commander, the right guard came out from the Chongxuan Gate of the Daming Palace not long ago and defeated the Wenshui and Wu clan's positions on the banks of the Wei River!"
Yu Wenlong perked up, and as he expected, the eldest son Jiaqing's tribe was Fang Jun's primary target!
