Chapter 2092 North and South are all enemies at one time
Just when Yu Wenrang slumped down on the chair and was about to ask them to leave, a guard ran in quickly: "General, a large plume of smoke and dust was found on the south side of Guancheng!"
The atmosphere in the city gate tower suddenly became tense.
Yuwen Rang didn't show much surprise.
It was not that he was unaware of the news that the Han army was rapidly advancing on the south side. The reason why he took the initiative to come to the north gate was actually because Yu Wenrang wanted to force Han Qinhu to retreat and reorganize his troops, thinking that he was reinforcing the south side.
The city defense buys time.
Yuwen Rang had not expected that the enemy would come from the south.
However, the Northern Zhou Dynasty set up numerous camp barriers between Yanmen Pass and Jinyang. Although they did not play much role in blocking the enemy at this time, they at least served as an early warning, allowing Yuwen Rang to know that the Han army did not attack along the way.
Jinyang, but after bypassing Jinyang, they attacked Yanmen non-stop all the way north.
Yuwen Rang knew very well that the reason why Yanmen Pass is so powerful is that no matter which direction the enemy comes from, they have to face the rugged terrain and the condescending defenders. It is difficult for the enemy to break through. However, correspondingly, Yanmen is located on the saddle of two mountains.
The terrain is narrow, and Guancheng is actually not very large. It can only accommodate more than a thousand soldiers in total. Any more soldiers will be scattered in the barracks outside the city gate or on the nearby Great Wall. In fact, it is difficult to control Guancheng.
The defense will help, and it may even be defeated by the enemy first.
In a place where one man is the barrier and no one can open it, the biggest weakness often comes from behind. Where there is only one person standing, there is no way to guard against the knife sticking out from behind.
This is why Yu Wenchunming knew that his brother did not have much experience in commanding troops, so he wanted to keep him at Yanmen Pass. Otherwise, any general would have betrayed him. If there was a big family behind Jinyang,
If it is open, then there will be nothing to guard in Jinyang.
However, neither Yu Wenchun nor Yu Wen Rang expected that Yang Su would let Jinyang go, bypass Jinyang and then attack Yanmen Pass.
Moreover, they did not expect that the Han army would come so quickly. The Yanmen defenders who originally only had to face the northern Fenwu Army were suddenly attacked from both sides.
The turbulent morale of the army and the crisis situation left Yu Wenrang with only despair after a brief period of panic. His whole body was cold and he stared blankly ahead. The shouts of the generals around him seemed to have been completely forgotten by him.
At this point, there is no choice but to fight the enemy to the death.
But the fish is dead and the net is broken... Yu Wenrang is not afraid of death in battle. What about the soldiers in the city?
Brother, if you were here, how would you choose? Could you teach me?
————————————
The reason why the Han army came so quickly was because they did not go to Yanmen by land, but chose the waterway.
Although the Fenshui navy was ranked last among the Han navy, there was really no one on the Fenshui that could do anything to them. Therefore, all the way north, the Northern Zhou army only shot arrows and harassed them on the shores along the way.
Besides, there is absolutely no way to stop them.
Until the upper reaches of the Fen River, the river gradually narrowed, and the Han army chose to land on the beach. They used powerful firearms to directly defeat the defending Northern Zhou army and advanced along the road from Jinyang to Yanmen. Although there were many mountains and valleys along the way,
, but its dangerousness is obviously not comparable to that of Yanmen, and the Northern Zhou soldiers guarding it are mostly local soldiers, members of aristocratic families, etc., and they have long lost their fighting spirit.
Normally, these soldiers and horses, which originally belonged to different aristocratic families or local state capitals, could barely remain united under the same flag. But when the Han army came, these guys rushed to chop off the heads of friendly soldiers to surrender, for fear that they would surrender.
If his movements were a step slower, he would be overtaken by others.
Therefore, since landing, the Han army has encountered few obstacles along the way. There are almost all white flags in front of them. There are even many rural soldiers and aristocratic families from other places who have taken the initiative to come forward to get close. Yang Su is also interested in this.
Laughing at all.
Therefore, when the Han army marched to Yanmen Pass in a mighty manner, Yang Su had not only thousands of imperial guards led by Chun Yucen, but also ten or twenty thousand soldiers from all walks of life who followed the Han banner.
, even so, there are still countless soldiers and horses coming from all directions.
The Han army has already reached Yanmen Pass, and Jinyang has become an isolated city. How can anyone see clearly? At this time, the Zhou people are already like grasshoppers after autumn, and they can't jump for two days, so if they still
If you can't stand up quickly, you may not even know how you died.
And what better choice is there than to follow Yang Su with his own soldiers and horses? Even if Yang Su pulls him up and uses it as cannon fodder to attack Yanmen Pass, everyone will accept it. As long as they have their own merits after the war.
, when the imperial court is liquidated in the future, it will definitely not take advantage of itself. Officials who have made meritorious services will always be given some face.
The Han army camped on the road south of Yanmen Pass and spread out in both directions east and west, cutting off all roads south of Yanmen Pass.
Chunyucen strode into the newly built Chinese army camp. Yang Suzheng was talking to several Northern Zhou generals who had just taken refuge. They were not so much the Northern Zhou generals as the Wubao masters. They were basically all around them.
The local aristocratic families usually formed strongholds to defend themselves, and when there was war, they obeyed the orders of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but now they turned to obey the orders of the Han Dynasty.
There is no better way to describe them than "weeds on the wall".
Chunyucen frowned.
He has never had a good impression of these fort masters.
"You should retreat first and rest for a day before attacking the city tomorrow." Yang Su ordered.
Everyone agreed in unison and left.
Chunyucen stepped out of the way and watched them calmly.
After they left, without waiting for Chun Yucen to speak, Yang Su made a gesture to ask him to sit down: "Does Yi Zhong (Chun Yucen's pseudonym) feel that it is inappropriate for Yu to do this?"
Chun Yucen and Yang Su have been getting along for a long time, and they also know that this governor, supervisor, and future Han Taiwei is not the kind of person who cannot tolerate others saying anything wrong. On the contrary, he is very smart and calm, especially in
When listening to other people's opinions, you generally don't interrupt others rashly or express your own opinions first to leave others speechless.
After pondering for a moment, Chunyu Cen said truthfully: "Indeed, it is not the end of the general's boasting. Our army has always been based on elite soldiers since the war. It has conquered the world and is invincible. Although the Imperial Guards can hardly be said to be the world's most powerful army, let the end of the army lead the army.
The Imperial Guards will never retreat in a battle with any enemy. However, since they went north, the governor has recruited many stragglers to fight under the same banner of the Han Dynasty and as the army of the Han Dynasty.
, it may damage the reputation. What's more, the military discipline of the Han Dynasty is strict, and everyone in the army works hard as one. This kind of spirit has never been seen among the wandering soldiers."
