Chapter 228
"Well, I know!" Tang Yu nodded heavily.
In this era of cold weapons, the two armies fought head-on. The opponent lost tens of thousands at the cost of two thousand people. This was indeed a great victory.
It's just that Tang Yu is a modern man. Seeing so many soldiers die on the battlefield, he couldn't accept it for a while.
Meng Tian continued: "The news just came that Ye Yuanba led an army of 200,000 to attack Yangzhou City in anger. Your Highness, do we need to go for reinforcements?"
"Let's talk about reinforcements first. Meng Tian, did you smell a hint of conspiracy about the Chu army ambushing us at Hangu Pass?" Tang Yu asked.
Meng Tian hesitated: "This"
"The road to the front line is more than just Hangu Pass. How did the Chu army know our marching route? Besides, the Chu army suddenly dispatched a hundred thousand troops, so many people, and such a big movement. With Qin Mang's IQ, could it be that he
Didn't you find any clues?" Tang Yu said again.
Meng Tian took a deep breath: "Your Highness, although my subordinates also feel that there is a conspiracy, Qin Mang is the great general who protects the country in the Tang Dynasty. His achievements are unparalleled, and my subordinates do not dare to judge easily!"
"There is a conspiracy, there is definitely a conspiracy!" Tang Yu said firmly.
From the moment the army set off, it was deprived of food and grass. Then it passed through Hangu Pass and was ambushed by the Chu army.
If Li Jing hadn't provided timely reinforcements and taken the opportunity to kill Chu general Xia Houying, he and the 30,000 golden fire cavalry might have perished at Hangu Pass.
Qin Mang is Tang Long's father-in-law. In order to support Tang Long's rise to power, Qin Mang will definitely find ways to eliminate himself as a threat.
Tang Yu knew that he would be in a bad situation on the front line this time, but he really didn't expect that Qin Mang would secretly allow the Chu army to deal with him cruelly in order to eliminate him.
Tang Yu even guessed that Qin Mang had joined forces with the Chu army to eliminate him.
Although it was hard for him to believe this fact, it was not impossible.
Meng Tian knew Qin Mang's status in the army, so he asked: "Your Highness, what should we do next?"
"Find a safe area and set up camp. For the rest, just wait and see what happens!" Tang Yu said.
At this point, the only people he can trust are himself and the remaining 20,000 or so Golden Fire Cavalry. If he goes to reinforce Qin Mang now, the reinforcement may not be successful, and the remaining Golden Fire Cavalry will be completely wiped out.
.
Being ambushed this time sounded the alarm for Tang Yu.
On the battlefield, no one can be easily trusted except himself, not even Qin Mang, the general who protects the country.
Ye Yuanba really went crazy this time, and 200,000 Chu troops attacked Yangzhou City for a whole night.
Both the Chu army and the Yangzhou city defenders suffered heavy casualties. General Qin Mang never expected that Ye Yuanba would be so crazy.
In this battle, the Chu army lost more than 50,000 soldiers, and the Tang defenders also lost nearly 30,000 people. The tragic scene was shocking.
The next day, just as it was getting dark, Tang Yu received the news.
Tang Long marched all the way and arrived at the front line last night. He set up an ambush at the Killing Pass to ambush Chu Baole, the sixth prince of Chu. Almost all the 30,000 troops around Chu Baole were annihilated. The sixth prince, Chu Baole, was protected by a group of soldiers and survived.
He died and fled into Jingzhou City.
As soon as this incident came out, the whole army of Tang Dynasty was excited.
After confirming that the Sixth Prince of Chu was ambushed by Tang Long, Tang Yu's pupils shrank: "First we were ambushed by the Chu army at Hangu Pass, and then Tang Long ambushed the Sixth Prince of Chu!"
