Chapter 236: Flanking from both sides
It is about a hundred miles from Daxing City to Fengyi County. Fengyi County is the first county to build brick roads. Every four horses pull a four-wheeled carriage and carry ten soldiers to run quickly on the straight brick roads.
After resting for half an hour in the middle, all the carriages continued to move forward, and had arrived in Huayin before sunset. There was no stop at all, and they went straight towards Fengyi County.
As the night fell, all the carriages were gas-lit and led by the cavalry, they walked all the way. At midnight, 50,000 Daxing troops had arrived at Fengyi County City.
Yin Shishima walked off the carriage, and looked at Fengyi County City in front of him with the light of the burning torch, and couldn't help but look horrified.
In just half a day, they actually marched a hundred miles. This was probably an unprecedented marching speed. At this moment, Yinshi Master truly realized the power of the brick road. With this brick road, Daxing City will be invincible.
Yin Shishishi looked at the soldiers who were still energetic in front of him and was shocked. What is commendable is that all the soldiers who rode in carriages along the way had maintained their physical strength, and even if the enemy attacked, they were fully capable of fighting again.
"Have you arrived in Fengyi County?"
Yang You got off the carriage, yawned, rubbed his fluffy eyes. He slept all the way, and only woke up now.
The Yinshi Master was speechless. It was the young man in front of him who created the fastest marching speed in this era. In this record-breaking historical moment, his most important hero actually slept all the way.
"Your Highness, King Dai!"
The Yinshi Master bowed and looked full of admiration.
"See Your Highness, King Dai!"
The commander of Fengyi County, Jiang Yuyong and Li Jing, had already been waiting for trouble. They came together and bowed to salute.
"I would like to ask His Highness Dai to come to the city for a while. The city has been arranged." Jiang Yuyong suggested.
"Okay, the whole army enters the city!" Yang You ordered.
Yang You took the lead in under the escort of the Eastern Palace Guards, and then a 50,000 army entered Fengyi County.
In the prefect of Fengyi County, the former owner had been imprisoned, and this place became Yang You's temporary residence.
Yang You sat in the hall with great energy, with a huge sand table placed in the center, which is a picture of the sand table in Fengyi County.
"What's the situation now?" Yang You asked.
"Reported to His Highness, General Yao, led his troops to Heyang first, and Li Yuan's army is sieging the city. The war in Heyang is tense at present." Li Jing reported.
Yao Jun had 20,000 troops and occupied the city's benefits. Although the Tang army was crowded, they did not have too many siege tools for the surprise attack. There was no problem for Yao Junsu to defend Heyang City.
"Stay!"
Yang You breathed a sigh of relief. His advance layout finally came into effect. Li Yuan was blocked by Heyang City. As long as Li Yuan was dragged down, he would be unable to fly.
"Your Highness, should we attack overnight?" Jiang Yuyong suggested.
In his opinion, now he attacked overnight. The army suddenly appeared in front of Li Yuan's army and would definitely be effective.
Yang You shook his head and said, "Although we marched quickly, a lot of the materials have not arrived yet. Now we attack overnight. When we reach Jaw Yang, the soldiers are probably tired and have no power to fight again."
"What Your Highness, the King of Dai, said very much." Master Yinshi nodded and said.
Yinshishi has always been famous for its stability. Now that the imperial army has arrived in Fengyi County, Yao Junsu has already defended Heyang, and the situation has been reversed. As long as they make steady plans, it will be a matter of time before they defeat the Tang army, and there is no need to take risks at all.
"Give the order! The entire army will be renovated and the army will set off tomorrow." Yang You ordered.
"Yes!" Yinshi Master, Li Jing, and Jiang Yuyong responded.
Under the city of Heyang.
The war was fierce, and the Tang army rushed forward one after another, holding the simple ladder and rushed up. The defenders on the city wall fought back wave after wave of Tang army.
"Woo!"
The sound of the sound of the gold and withdrawing troops rang out.
In an instant, the Tang army retreated like a tide.
"Big victory!"
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
On the city of Heyang, the Sui army burst into cheers.
Yao Junsu wiped the blood from his face, and his face that had been tense finally showed a smile. He guarded Heyang and repelled Li Yuan.
After receiving the order from His Highness Dai, he marched constantly and finally arrived before the Tang army occupied Heyang City. The Tang army was unwilling to fail and immediately attacked the city on a large scale.
However, although Yao Junsu is not famous, his defensive strength is absolutely strong. Based on the advantages of the city, he finally blocked Li Yuan's pace.
In history, Li Yuan had already captured Daxing City at this moment, and Qu Tutong also surrendered to Li Yuan. Yao Junsu refused to surrender, guarded the lonely city, and resisted Li Yuan's army. It was not until the Jiangdu Incident came that Hedong was killed left and right, and Hedong fell.
Yao Junsu was loyal to the Sui Dynasty, and Yang You also trusted him very much, allowing him to lead the army to defend Hedong City and put Qu Tutong on the front line.
At this moment, time and space change, under Yang You's special arrangement, the two enemies gathered at the city of Heyang again.
This time, Yao Junsu did not disappoint Yang You, and once again used his defensive ability to make Tang Jun return in resentment under Heyang City.
"Send orders to repair the city walls and strengthen vigilance. The reinforcements from the court will come soon!" Yao Junsu looked at the direction of the Tang army retreating and ordered.
"Yes!" the soldier shouted.
…………
The Tang army withdrew its troops and retreated ten miles before setting up camp.
"Yao Junsu has been stationed in Hedong, how could he appear in Heyang City?" Li Yuan said in a furious manner in the Tang army's tent.
He had already taken all aspects into consideration during this surprise attack. With Xiao Zao's cooperation, after the Tang army captured the entire Fengyi County, he used the connections between the Wang family, the Li family and the Dou family in Guanzhong in Taiyuan to gradually guide the entire Guanzhong.
However, the Sui army had already appeared as soon as the Tang army arrived at the city of Heyang, which made him not panic.
"Is it Xiao Zao who betrayed us?" Li Jiancheng said suspiciously.
"Impossible! I have the evidence of his family scouting and extermination in my father's hands, and Xiao Zao cannot betray us. Since the Sui army appeared in Heyang, Xiao Zao must be in danger now." Li Yuan shook his head and said.
Li Yuan felt sorry for Xiao Zao, a good move. Unfortunately, it was ruined before it even worked.
"Can't that be true. Guanzhong deliberately let us enter the pass and lead us to divide the troops!" Li Shimin burst into a bold guess.
"It should be impossible!" Li Yuan was stunned and shook his head, "The work of crossing the river for his father is very confidential, and no one knows."
"No matter what, we have no way out. This time, Heyang must be taken down." Li Yuan said sternly.
"It's a pity that we just crossed the river and had no extra weapons to siege. Otherwise, just because of the mediocre person Yao Junsu, Heyang City was just a battle." Li Shimin said angrily.
In today's battle, the Tang soldiers fought bravely, but they were suffering from no weapons to siege.
"Order soldiers to build siege weapons overnight and must break through Heyang before the reinforcements in Daxing City arrive." Li Yuan ordered.
"yes!"
At this moment, Li Yuan and his son didn't know that Yang You had led an army of 50,000 to travel a hundred miles a day and had already arrived at Fengyi County City.
The winter morning is particularly cold and the wind is chilly.
As soon as dawn was dawn, soldiers in Fengyi County stood up one after another and began to prepare for the expedition.
Yang You wore a royal robe on the outside and a cotton robe on the inside. Under Dong Yue's escort, he began to patrol the soldiers' camp.
At this moment, the whole camp was filled with smoke, and the hot food was ready. The soldiers were wearing cotton coats and armor and were starting to eat. After the meal, the army was about to set off.
Seeing the soldiers' cotton coats and armor, Yang You nodded slightly. With these cotton coats and armor, the cold in winter will become the most powerful weapon of the Daxing Army.
"See Your Highness, King Dai!"
When the soldiers saw Yang You coming, they saluted one after another, and their eyes showed fanaticism.
Since His Highness Dai Wang established a wounded barracks, countless wounded soldiers have been treated, and after the Battle of Yan'an, His Highness Dai Wang personally wrote a notice of death for each soldier, and each of them was given a pension of 300 cents, and asked local officials to take care of the families of the fallen soldiers. How could all the measures not make the soldiers return home?
Moreover, each of the soldiers who went to fight this time had cotton coats and armor, and even the food in their hands was meat and vegetables, which was unimaginable before.
"No gift!"
Yang You nodded and encouraged the soldiers. After patrolling all the camps, he reaped countless etiquettes, and returned to the prefect's mansion to prepare for the continued expedition.
The sun had just risen, and the Sui army was ready to drive again and headed towards the hep Yang.
At the same time, in Mayi, where the weather is cold.
A fast horse ran out of Mayi city in the cold wind.
"Hahaha! Li Yuan crossed the Yellow River and attacked Guanzhong." Liu Wuzhou couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw the information in his hand.
At this moment, Li Yuan and the Sui army fought each other in Guanzhong, and neither side cared about him. This was the best time for him to go south.
"Come here, invite all the generals!" Liu Wuzhou shouted.
"Yes!" The soldier took the order and left.
"Dongdongdongdongdong!" The gathering drum sounded,
After a while, Song Jingang, Yuchi Jingde and other Mayi generals came, and even civil servants such as Yuan Junzhang arrived one after another.
"Everyone, now Li Yuan is deeply trapped in Guanzhong, Taiyuan is already an empty city, and the opportunity for us to go south is right in front of us." Liu Wuzhou looked around and his voice was excited. The opportunity he had been waiting for finally came. Taiyuan was just Li Yuanji, a little brat guarding, and it was not worth worrying.
"Congratulations to the prefect, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Song Jingang congratulated.
"The prefect is wise!" the generals complimented.
They all knew that Liu Wuzhou had always been determined to go south. Although the weather was cold at this time, opportunities that were within reach of Taiyuan were hard to find. Even Yuan Junzhang thought that this moment was indeed a god-given opportunity and did not stop him.
"All soldiers obey orders, immediately reorganize their troops and prepare to go south!" Liu Wuzhou shouted.
"Yes!" Song Jingang and others shouted.
"Sir Yuan, after we go to war, Mayi will ask you for it." Liu Wuzhou said.
"Don't worry, Lord Prefect, I will ensure the stability of Mayi." Yuan Junzhang promised.
"Everyone, let's fight for our future destiny." Liu Wuzhou shouted.
"It must win."
Song Jingang and other generals shouted.
At the end of November, Liu Wuzhou learned that Li Yuan was deeply trapped in Guanzhong and sent troops south despite the severe cold.
