Chapter 2082 Pretend to attack Jinyang and actually attack Yanmen
Chunyu Cen nodded slightly.
Jinyang's main attack direction is to the south, which he already knew before.
Naturally, I was not surprised when I heard Yang Su say this.
And Yang Su went on to say: "A certain person arranged the Zhenlin Army and Gong Han Army in the south of the city. The two armies took turns to attack the city, using wheel tactics to continuously attack the city. In addition, when encountering a critical moment, the Imperial Guards would also be needed to help."
"This is natural." Chunyucen said directly, and cupped his hands towards the southeast, "In compliance with His Majesty's will, all the imperial guards under his command will obey the governor's dispatch!"
"But I think the number of the Imperial Guards is only five or six thousand. Where are the Yangwu Army who are with you?" Yang Su asked curiously.
The Han army entered Shangdang from Qinshui and then supported Jinyang. This was Li Xingchen's order. In fact, Yang Su himself didn't know the specific number of troops, but he did know that at least it was not just the Imperial Guards, but also a Yangwu Army.
.
Chunyucen hurriedly explained: "After Shangdang moved north, I learned that His Majesty had led his army to attack north from Baigou, so he divided Yangwu's army and turned east, along the Zhang River, and crossed Taihang to reach directly.
As for Yecheng, your Majesty should lead his army to Yecheng someday, and then the connection between Yecheng and Xiangguo County can be cut off from the north."
Yang Su clapped his hands and exclaimed: "It's wonderful to adapt to changing circumstances!"
Chun Yucen looked at Jinyang City on the map: "Your Majesty is stationed over at Yecheng, and with thousands of troops gathered, there should be no serious problems. However, the Jinyang City at the moment does not look so easy to win.
The governor is also very clever, but do you have any good plans?"
Yang Su glanced at Chunyucen.
As the son of Chun Yuliang, a veteran of the Southern Chen Dynasty, Chun Yucen had led his army to fight with the northern troops for many years. Of course, he did not have a good impression of northern generals such as Yang Su and Li Xun, so his words were somewhat hostile both inside and outside. If not
Li Xingchen ordered him to obey Yang Su. I'm afraid this guy has already made his own decision.
Chun Yucen was the most adept at fighting among Chun Yuliang's sons. He had led a partial army many years ago and was on his own, so it was reasonable to be somewhat unruly.
Yang Su had been mentally prepared for a long time, so he was naturally greeted with a smile at the beginning. It was best not to hurt the friendship at this time. However, seeing that there was some mockery in Chun Yucen's words, Yang Su's smile also faded.
He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, by strategizing within the strategy, can win a decisive victory thousands of miles away. Even though I am a so-called 'competent minister' by Your Majesty, I am ashamed of myself. However, this Jinyang City is not that difficult to conquer now."
Chun Yucen raised his eyebrows slightly.
Yang Su said slowly: "Jinyang City was built for defense and was reinforced many times by the Qi State. If the leader of Qi had not been stupid at that time, Yuwen Yong would not have been able to take advantage of it. Today's attack on the city, the enemy is no longer in chaos.
The Qi State is in a group, but Yu Wenchun is determined to die. This man is determined and brave in battle. He has always been the most difficult enemy for our Han Dynasty. Therefore, if we attack Jinyang by force, we will definitely lose a lot of money and it is not advisable."
This time not only Chun Yucen, but also Li Xun looked over curiously.
He spent a lot of time cooperating with Yang Su in the war, but in fact Li Xun took the dominant position in most combat command. Yang Su also needed to be responsible for other related civil affairs, and he always only expressed agreement or disagreement on strategy.
That's all, so Li Xun didn't expect that Yang Su already had an idea.
Yang Su pointed at Jinyang City: "Now our army has transferred some troops to the north of the city through the navy. Only by launching an attack on Jinyang in the south and north of the city at the same time can we make it difficult for Jinyang to take care of both ends. But in the north of the city, we
It is difficult for an army to attack a city when it is surrounded by enemies from both sides."
Having said this, both Chun Yucen and Li Xun couldn't help but nod.
They more or less guessed what Yang Su meant.
There is a highway in the north of Jinyang City that extends all the way to Yanmen Pass.
Along the way from Jinyang to Yanmenguan, the enemy's barriers are tight and there are many military villages, forming a defense system with layers of defense and mutual horns. It can be said that Jinyang is the southern end of this defense system, and it is also the place where food, grass, and equipment are gathered and deployed.
Yanmen Pass is the northern end of this defense system, mainly to prevent enemies from the north. This defense system has been maintained for hundreds of years, and was actually built to deal with enemies on the northern grasslands.
Yu Wenchun insisted on defending Jinyang because he was able to form an angle with Yanmen Pass and there were many camps along the way as barriers, so he had enough confidence. If Jinyang was left as an isolated city, Yu Wenchun wanted to defend it, but others might not have it.
Confidence gained.
"If we go to Yanmen first and then attack Jinyang, will we abandon the near and seek the far?" Li Xun couldn't help but ask.
Yang Su looked at him, shook his head and said: "If I could go to Jinyang first, I would naturally choose this. Unfortunately, if you look at Jinyang City, trenches have been dug outside the city, and the city walls in the south and north are all covered with blue bricks. Obviously
It is to prevent us from bombarding the city wall with artillery. Therefore, attacking the city is not advisable. In contrast, if we can attack Yanmen first and then surround Jinyang from all sides, so that there is no possibility of breaking out and surviving in Jinyang City, the enemy will not fight.
It collapsed."
In siege battles, the emphasis has always been on encircling three and missing one, so that the defenders in the city lose their fighting spirit. But it is naturally different against Jinyang. Now only Yecheng is left in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Jinyang and other places are still suffering.
Support, for the defenders, the morale is already very low. If the line from Jinyang to Yanmen Pass is not strong, giving them enough confidence, I am afraid they will not stick to Jinyang at all.
Once Yanmen Pass is captured and everything north of Jinyang falls into the hands of the Han army, the Northern Zhou army will naturally lose its last support. Apart from stubbornly resisting and defeating the Han army, the only way left is to surrender.
"The governor thinks the top priority is to send troops to attack Yanmen?" Chunyucen asked curiously.
Yang Su nodded: "Pretend to attack Jinyang, actually attack Yanmen, and support Yanmen's Fenwu Army to enter the pass. By then our army will be in the south, Fenwu Army will be in the north, and Qi will attack Jinyang. Jinyang can be defeated."
"What about now?" Chun Yucen couldn't help but look curiously at the Han troops who were already in formation.
The artillery pointed its head high at the city wall, and it seemed that as long as Yang Su gave an order, it could directly wipe the entire Jinyang City to the ground.
But what Chunyucen wants to say is, isn't that now equivalent to a bluff?
"You have to show off in a decent way." Yang Su couldn't help but laugh, and immediately said, "Leading an army to attack Yanmen is not expensive, but it is expensive to have many soldiers, so the Imperial Guard is confident that it can handle such a task.
?”
Chunyucen suddenly became motivated to fight. Originally, the number of the Imperial Guards was not large, so he was forced to attack the city. Of course, Chunyucen was reluctant, so if he could find such a good mission to prevent the Imperial Guards from falling into the attack,
He was naturally happy during the fierce battle in the city.
Chunyucen accepted the order and left with emotion, but when he stepped off the general stage, he vaguely realized something and subconsciously looked back at the stage, but did not turn back.
