Yu Wenjie secretly glanced at Changsun Wuji. The latter's face was calm, showing no signs of joy or anger...
The scout continued: "...General Changsun ordered the army to postpone the attack on the city and tried to gather the army to surround the armored cavalry so that they would lose their impact."
Changsun Wuji nodded slightly: "That's exactly what it should be."
The impact of the armored cavalry is unparalleled in the world, especially on a wide frontal battlefield. It is almost equivalent to an invincible existence. Encircling it and then slowly biting it is the most correct and only choice.
Of course, he is not praising the eldest son Jiaqing here, because the message from the scouts has become clear. No matter what choice the eldest son Jiaqing makes, the result will inevitably be a failure - he is just praising the eldest son Jiaqing to offset the eldest son's family here.
Mistakes I made while conquering the Yamato Gate battle.
The opportunity for the city to be almost empty was obtained by the Yuwenlong tribe being defeated by the main force of the Youtun Guard. If the Yamato Gate is still failed to be conquered under such circumstances, wouldn't the Changsun family's army be considered useless in the eyes of others? Therefore, Changsun must be emphasized.
Jiaqing's correctness did not hesitate to exaggerate the power of Youtunwei.
Otherwise, the Changsun family will face endless doubts and complaints...
The scout didn't know what Changsun Wuji was thinking, so he continued: "But the impact of the armored cavalry was too strong. Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Shenli led his army to break out of the encirclement to the north. He hung far to the north of the army while recovering.
While observing the situation, he saw General Changsun organizing a large army to attack the city, so he attacked the flanks of the army violently, which made General Changsun afraid to attack the city with all his strength, so he kept delaying."
Changsun Wuji pondered for a while, then stood up again and went to the map, carefully checking the terrain near the Yamato Gate. A clear scene gradually appeared in his mind, and he reviewed the battle taking place there.
For a long time, I sighed silently in my heart.
Is the eldest grandson Jiaqing capable?
It was indeed incompetent. The Yuwen family's "Woye Town" private army was defeated and held back the main force of the Youtun Guards and the Tubo Huqi, creating an opportunity for the eldest son Jiaqing to almost capture the empty city. In the end, he faced only 5,000 defenders.
However, the army was unable to break the city. Instead, they were beaten into a dilemma and were at a loss.
However, the incompetence of eldest son Jiaqing cannot be entirely blamed.
The Youtun Guards' tactics were extremely flexible this time, and they took the advantages of their armored cavalry to the extreme. Such an army with indestructible armor and indestructible impact was charging and killing the ragtag Guanlong army in public. How could they stop it?
Even the regular army stationed in Tongguan at the moment, once the armored cavalry breaks into the heart of the country and gallops around, I am afraid there is no good way. They can only wait for them to get tired before they can surround them.
Changsun Jiaqing can naturally consume the opponent slowly like this, but the problem is that his purpose is to quickly break the city, which gives the armored cavalry a chance to recover and destroy at the same time.
From this point of view, it cannot be said that Changsun Jiaqing is incompetent. It can only be said that the tactics chosen by Liu Shenli are extremely consistent with the current battlefield situation.
In this way, Changsun Wuji became more and more depressed. The Guanlong clan had deep roots and prosperous descendants, but in recent years there had been few outstanding descendants, resulting in a shortage of talents and no one to use them. However, Fang Jun's side had an endless supply of elite soldiers and generals.
Anyone who passes under that guy's hands will be a useful talent.
Liu Rengui, Liu Renyuan, Xue Rengui, Pei Xingjian, Xi Junmai, Cheng Wuting...
Now, all these talents have attached themselves to the East Palace with Fang Jun, making the East Palace full of talents and doubling its strength.
Is this the so-called "destiny"?
Changsun Wuji was in a dilemma.
Obviously, Changsun Jiaqing's troops want to quickly capture the Yamato Gate, so they can only increase their troops. However, the soldiers and horses in the military camp outside the city cannot be moved, otherwise the camp may be empty and there may be trouble. Those powerful troops who came to Guanzhong for reinforcements
It is not safe; it is not advisable to transfer troops from Chang'an City. If the troops here are transferred, Li Jing will definitely find out, and will correspondingly withdraw some troops to reinforce the Yamato Gate...
Who would have thought that the Guanlong army, whose strength was several times that of the East Palace, would sometimes be stretched thin?
In the final analysis, there are still too many people and too few elites who can really stand up...
At this time, not only must we quickly capture the Yamato Gate and occupy the Daming Palace, but we must also find ways to eliminate the suspicion that may arise in the Yuwen family and other Guanlong clan clans.
He gritted his teeth and ordered: "The commander-in-chief, Sun Jiaqing, ordered him to speed up the capture of Yamato Gate at any cost! Otherwise, military law will be engaged!"
He had no choice but to be so cruel. Regardless of the consequences of his delay in capturing the Yamato Gate, or the suspicion of the Guanlong Gate clan against his "two approaches" strategy, it was extremely serious and could easily lead to the current situation.
It took a sharp turn.
Yamato Gate must be taken down!
"Here!"
The scouts got the order and hurried out.
Changsun Wuji stood in front of the map. All the comfort he had brought due to the heavy damage suffered by Yuwen's private army was gone, and his heart was full of solemnity.
*****
Outside Guanghua Gate, by the Yongan Canal.
Yu Wenlong rode his horse and stood in the formation, holding a horizontal sword in his hand. He looked pale as the guardsmen of Youtun came in like a tide, sweeping the "Woye Town" private army under his command into them. When some of the cavalry were dragged on the outside, they were fighting with the opponent's soldiers.
The light cavalry faced off, and the other part was arranged in the rear formation to resist the impact of the Tubo cavalry. The heavily armored infantry in the opponent's formation, covered with iron armor, became the killer weapons that dominated the battlefield.
These armored monsters are holding sharp swords, arranged in a strict square array, and marching in neat steps, as if they are rolling forward slowly like a wall made of steel and embedded with steel blades. The speed is not fast, but they are not.
Resistible.
Bows, crossbows, swords and guns were useless against the opponent's armor, but the opponent could easily scatter their own army by just waving the wide and long-handled Mo Dao in their hands. Countless Yuwen family members were cut apart and sliced by the sharp blades.
It broke, howling miserably and sprinkling hot blood, leaving corpses all over the ground.
The "Woye Town" private army that the Yuwen family had raised for many years and relied on as its foundation was slaughtered like a dolphin dog in front of such a heavy armored infantry.
Yu Wenlong's eyes are about to burst!
What kind of monster did Fang Jun create with his mallet?!
There are powerful firearms, indestructible heavy infantry, and armored cavalry that are irresistible on the battlefield... No matter who is up against them, even the most sophisticated military strategies will be useless.
What kind of array can deal with such a force that is armed to the teeth, and what can it do?
If you rush up to someone and can't take a bite of their flesh, they will kill you with a backhand knife...
The sophisticated equipment allows the Youtun Guards to completely ignore any strategies and tactics and just keep rushing forward. No one can stop it anyway...
There were loud killing sounds all around, ghosts crying and gods howling, and Yu Wenlong was heartbroken. This was the army that the Yuwen family relied on for their livelihood. Now that they were all in his hands, how was he going to explain it to the family leader and the children of the clan?
He is not a shameless person. Now that the matter has come to this, he can only die to apologize.
Holding the horizontal knife tightly in his hand, Yu Wenlong clamped the horse's belly, and the horse neighed loudly under his crotch. He was about to raise his four hooves and rush to the killing battlefield ahead. However, as soon as the hoof was raised, the horse was blocked by the soldiers around him.
Hold the reins.
"General, no!"
"You can leave the green hills without fear of running out of firewood. The casualties are heavy right now, but you have to take everyone back and escape one by one. Otherwise, if they all die here, then it will be really over!"
…
Yu Wenlong was shocked and quickly woke up from his grief and anger. He raised his eyes and looked at his side. He saw more than a thousand soldiers surrounding him. They were all injured and had lost their helmets and armor. They were in an extremely embarrassed state. It would be easy to rush forward and fight to the death with the Youtun Guards, but if
If all these private armies are destroyed here, what will the Yuwen family do?
Also, Changsun Yin kept saying that he was coming out in two directions, but as soon as he arrived near Jingyao Gate, he was attacked by the Youtun Guards. Gao Kan didn't even hesitate at all, and never considered Changsun on the other side.
The Jiaqing tribe may directly capture the Daming Palace...
Is there no conspiracy in this?
If the Yuwen family were to perish here, the happiest person would probably be Changsun Wuji.
Thinking of this, Yu Wenlong cheered up and said loudly: "Today's defeat is my fault, but if I write down this grudge, the children of the Yuwen family will definitely repay it in the future! Sons and gentlemen, follow me out of the siege!"
"Here!"
The nearby soldiers boosted their morale and loudly promised.
Without saying another word, Yu Wenlong turned around on his horse, took the lead with his sword brandished, and charged towards the direction he came from. Thousands of remnant soldiers followed closely behind him, and they fled in a panic with billowing smoke.
However, before they could run very far, they saw countless cavalry scattered in all directions, panicking and choosing their way. The Tubo Huqi, wearing leather armor and holding scimitars, had already defeated the light cavalry behind the palace. They were in the wilderness on the edge of Fanglin Garden on the north side of the city wall.
