They mobilized a large army to surround them, and the armored cavalry turned around and ran away. The infantry on their side could not catch up, and the light cavalry caught up to no avail. They ignored them, gathered their troops and stormed the Yamato Gate again, and the armored cavalry came from the north again. Digging through the array fiercely, killing countless people...
The eldest grandson, Jiaqing, was in a dilemma, unable to do anything.
When a heavily armored force with strong combat power is always behind them, and it occasionally launches a surprise attack, in addition to causing huge casualties, it will have a fatal blow to the morale of the army and the implementation of tactics and strategies.
The eldest grandson, Jiaqing, prides himself on being a veteran on the battlefield. Even though he is not as good as Li Jing, Li Jina and others in strategizing and winning thousands of miles away, he is still comparable to the famous generals in the world, and his military strategies and strategies are all superior. But now when he encounters this situation, he realizes There is absolutely nothing I can do.
However, the situation is urgent. The Yuwenlong tribe on the other side must be facing a violent attack from the main force of Youtunwei. No matter how conceited he is, he dare not look down on Youtunwei's tyrannical fighting power. He is afraid that Yuwenlong is already in danger at this moment, so he It is even more important to break through the Yamato Gate as soon as possible, enter the Daming Palace, and occupy the favorable terrain of Longshouyuan.
Otherwise, when Yu Wenlong is completely defeated, there will be no progress on our side. Youtunwei can easily mobilize troops and horses to attack, and he will have no chance of winning.
Once such a situation occurs, it will not only mean that the Guanlong army's strategy of "conquest on two fronts, advancing in parallel" has completely failed, but it also means that from now on, the advantages of Guanlong in terms of military strength and morale will disappear, and the right will be replaced. The garrison became more and more rampant, and the East Palace people completely got rid of the decline since the "Mutiny" and gradually took the initiative on the Chang'an battlefield.
Changsun Jiaqing shuddered when he thought of such a situation.
One can imagine how furious Changsun Wuji would be. I am afraid that even his clan brother would not be able to escape punishment and be...
In desperation, Changsun Jiaqing could only grit his teeth and separate part of the army to guard against the armored cavalry hanging far away, while the other part of the army continued to attack the city.
More than 60,000 troops suffered heavy losses, and the remaining 50,000 troops were divided into two groups. One group continued to storm the Yamato Gate, while the other group formed a formation on the north side to defend against the armored cavalry that might rush up at any time to cause damage.
Changsun Jiaqing naturally knew the principle of gathering an army to attack with all his strength, but the current situation forced him to divide his forces.
The result is naturally not ideal...
Although the defenders are weak in strength, they are united and have high morale. With the help of city-defending artifacts such as the Thunderbolt, they can withstand the rebel offensive, making it difficult for the rebels to attack the city even with ten times the strength. And the armored cavalry This gave Changsun Jiaqing a headache, and he sent out 20,000 horses to form a tight formation to try to prevent them from breaking into the formation. However, the dragon head was high in the north and low in the south, and the armored cavalry took advantage of the terrain to launch surprise charges again and again, easily defeating the formation of the Guanlong army. Tear them to pieces, charge and kill them, and then retreat calmly before the rest of the army surrounds you.
Still retreated to a reasonable distance, stopping to watch while recovering his strength.
This is very shameless...
The eldest son, Jiaqing, almost went crazy. He couldn't get rid of these scoundrels and couldn't fight them. From time to time, he waited for an opportunity to hit him. The blows made the troops gathered in the north lose their morale and their morale plummeted. If they ignored it and still rushed to attack Yamato Gate, then The morale and morale of the army, which had been stabilized with great difficulty before, may collapse at any time. When the time comes, the morale of the army will be in chaos, the whole army will collapse, and everything will come to a halt.
But once you ignore it, the Yamato Gate cannot be attacked...
This is how to do?
It is clear that the troops have a stable advantage and the situation is quite favorable, but they are hampered by this armored cavalry. They are in a dilemma in attack and defense. They are in a dilemma. They don't know what to do.
*****
Yanshoufang.
The sky to the east has turned white, but the lights in the square are still bright, and the whole Yanshou Square is awake all night.
Changsun Wuji was sitting in the side hall. He drank many pots of strong tea, his stomach was pounding, and all he came up with when he burped was tea...
As I get older, my physical strength is weak and my energy is low. In the past, staying awake for several days did not have much impact and my thoughts were still clear. But now, staying up all night is too much. Although I drink strong tea to lift my spirits, my thinking is uncontrollably stagnant. .
Time is not forgiving...
Sighing that time will gradually take away the wisdom and wisdom endowed by people, not only did Changsun Wuji not fall into lamentation and helplessness, but it also increased his persistence.
The eldest son's family has been passed down to this day, and it is inevitable that the family will prosper and decline. He can accept that the family has slipped from the altar of "the first descendant of Zhenguan", but he absolutely cannot accept that due to the changes of the times, it will completely sink into the abyss, and his descendants will be lost. But everyone.
It was precisely because he saw His Majesty Li Er's firm determination to weaken the family and realized that the prince must inherit his father's legacy and continue the struggle between imperial power and the family that he made up his mind to take this irreversible step and try to save the future with all his strength. The closing gate.
He had been preparing for this military admonishment for a long time. Since the beginning of the Eastern Expedition, he had been constantly considering and calculating every link and every possibility. Until the opportunity came, he started to implement it without hesitation.
However, in line with the proverb that "man's plan is up to man and God is up to it", he thought that he had considered everything rigorously and meticulously, without any omissions. However, when he actually implemented it, various unpredictable consequences always occurred. Accident.
Today, the situation has become tense.
The East Palace is still standing, and although it is beaten everywhere, there is no sign of collapse. Li Ji led hundreds of thousands of troops to garrison at Tongguan, watching the situation in Chang'an with eager eyes, but he still couldn't figure out his inner plan...
Fortunately, after today's battle, the situation will gradually become clearer.
The two armies marched together, restraining and attacking at the same time. It was difficult to resist with the strength of the right garrison. At worst, they could occupy either Fanglin Gate or Daming Palace. They could directly threaten Xuanwu Gate anytime and anywhere. This was enough.
Of course, judging from the current situation, it is more likely that Changsun Jiaqing's troops will invade the Daming Palace, which is great.
Changsun Jiaqing made great achievements, and the leadership position of the Changsun family was as stable as Mount Tai. At the same time, the Yuwenlong tribe encountered the front and rear attacks of Gao Kanbu, the main force of the Youtun Guards, and the Tubo Huqi. Even if there was no major defeat, and they could retreat safely, they would still suffer heavy losses.
The profound heritage of the Yuwen family has always made the eldest son Wuji feel uneasy, like a thorn in his back. Although Yuwen Shiji usually looks like a good gentleman, he has never given up challenging the eldest son's family's position as the "Guanlong leader". Now with the help of Fang Fang The second hand cuts its wings and achieves the goal that has been planned for many years but has not been achieved, which naturally makes people feel happy.
As long as the Daming Palace is occupied, the military front directly threatens the Xuanwu Gate, and it is not even necessary to annihilate the Youtun Guards, he can reach peace talks with the East Palace under his leadership, further consolidating the status of the Changsun family and the Guanlong clan in the court.
As long as the peace talks are reached, no matter what evil intentions Li Ji who is stationed in Tongguan hides, it will no longer matter - God will give him more benefits, otherwise unless Li Ji dares to risk the disapproval of the world and raise an army to rebel... …
Outside the door, a scout came in, bringing reports of the battle outside the city.
"I would like to report to the family leader that the Yuwenlong Tribe is being attacked from the front and rear by the Gaokan Tribe and the Tubo Huqi. They have suffered heavy losses. Perhaps a defeat is inevitable."
"Well, order Yu Wenlong, the strategy of the two armies has been initially reached. Now the focus is on the Yamato Gate, let Yu Wenlong preserve his strength and not cause too many unnecessary casualties."
Although I wish that the Yuwen family's "Woye Town" private army would be wiped out by the Yong'an Canal, living here, with countless pairs of eyes staring at me from the outside, I still have to show the mind and magnanimity of the "Guanlong Leader" and speak openly. Talk about it.
"Here!"
After the scouts retreated, Changsun Wuji took a sip of tea happily. After putting down the tea cup, he frowned and asked the officials in the main hall: "There is no news from Yamato Gate yet?"
Yu Wenjie heard the sound and came in, respectfully saying: "There is no news yet."
Changsun Wuji frowned, stood up and limped to the map on the wall. He stood with his hands behind his hands and stared at the Yamato Gate area marked on the map. His voice was a little heavy: "The garrison of Yamato Gate is only more than 5,000 people. Changsun Jiaqing Bringing an army of 60,000 to attack fiercely, it is like a thunderous force, and it can be conquered in a moment, but why is it so late to see the battle report come back?"
Something must have gone wrong... The words came to his lips, but Yu Wenjie swallowed them down.
Two armies came out, and the one led by Yuwen's family was beaten by the Youtun Guards. It suffered heavy losses and was about to be defeated. If he spoke ill of eldest Sun Jiaqing at this time, eldest Sun Wuji would inevitably think that he was complaining. This was different from Yuwen's. It doesn’t match his cautious character.
After thinking about it, he said euphemistically: "All the guards of Youtun are accompanying Fang Jun in the northern expedition to the west. They have strong combat power. Although they are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, it is not impossible to defeat them in one go. Moreover, General Changsun is cautious in using his troops and is at every step. , it is reasonable to delay a little. However, General Changsun is a veteran general, and his military strength is at an absolute advantage. Victory is inevitable, and it will not take long for good news to come."
