Chapter 70 Datong Night

[]

Cao Shixiong and Cao Shili rebelled against Nanyue. The strange troops raided Datong City, the heart of Xijing Road, and almost without bloodshed, and only four or five thousand remaining soldiers left to retreat to the inner city. This news was undoubtedly a huge rock that smashed into the calm lake for the defenders of Khitan in Jincheng, Huairen and other cities, and suddenly caused shocking waves and the wind and clouds changed color.

At this time, no one of the Khitan defenders in Jincheng, Huairen and other cities wanted to gather troops and rushed to reinforce Datong.

Even the main force of the Khitans in Yingzhou immediately gave up confronting the Dayue Eastern Route Army on the south bank of Huangshui River, and hurriedly retreated into Yingzhou City, and closed the four cities to wait and see the situation.

Although the great mountains and mountains such as Yanshan Mountain, Yinshan Mountain, Changshan Mountain (Hengshan Mountain) scatter across the Yanyun land, the Huihe River winds for more than 200 miles deep after the northern foot of Guancen Mountain, but it is an open river valley plain.

The sky was slightly cloudy and the sun was as thin as paper cut. It leaned westward with weak energy. The Tianxiong Army's reconnaissance cavalry ran on both sides of the Huihe River, clearly seeing the defensive situation on both sides.

The remaining enemies on both sides of the Huihe River did not even dare to open the city gates. Of course, the main force of the Tianxiong Army was no longer afraid. With the surrendered Qing Shun Army and the accompanying Xiang Army, a total of nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses were like several blue-black torrents, surging on the withered and yellow earth, rushing towards Datong.

Among them, the fastest advance were the three thousand Qingshun infantry led by Meng Ping, the general of Cao Shixiong. They arrived in Datong City at dusk.

The vanguard had more than 7,000 cavalrymen, except for the two thousand cavalry headed by Cao Shili, who set out directly from Shuozhou City and rushed to 200 miles in two days and one night. It was not too hard, other soldiers, including soldiers from the Military Supervisor's Office, traveled about 400 miles in three days and two nights.

This level of deep marching can be said to be extremely physically consumed by the imperial guards.

Therefore, after the vanguards entered the city, in the afternoon, in addition to clearing out a few areas as stations, the focus was on rest and rest. The fastest updated 72 Literature Network w~w~w7~2~w~xc~o~m

In addition, it is mainly to dispatch small teams to search for the remaining enemies in the Xicheng area, and to establish nodes for subsequent promotion in key areas from Xicheng to the South City, North City and key areas close to the inner city.

Most of the generals and soldiers rushed to Datong and were exhausted. Except for cleaning up a few areas and threatening to drive away the people outdoors with swords and guns, most of the generals and soldiers were not released at will, so naturally there was nothing good or bad in military discipline.

It is impossible to distinguish between the Han and Fan family by driving away the households and clearing out the garrison.

Therefore, except for the driven people, other Khitans, foreigners and most Han people in the Xicheng area were still closed their houses and watched the development of the situation with a nervous mood.

Even though there were several incidents of robbing the door in the afternoon, there was no major riot.

After Meng Ping led 3,000 infantrymen of the Qing Shun Army to arrive in Datong City, Ge Huaicong arranged his troops directly to the area next to the inner city, responsible for preparing for the fierce attack on the inner city.

Instead of setting up the headquarters in Shengde Gate, Ge Huaicong took his eldest son Ge Yu directly to a private home garden in Xicheng, where the headquarters was set up.

As the military supervisor on the Datong battlefield, Zhu Han naturally brought Zhu Zhi, Lu Wenhu and several generals to live in the throne with Yue Hailou, who was not responsible for the command of troops; the 500 cavalry led by Ge Yu were also stationed in the throne as guards.

Xu Huai and the others did not take on combat tasks, Ge Huaicong didn't want them to really run out to inspect military discipline, and Zhu Han didn't need their personal guards, so he was left alone in the corner of the West City.

…………

…………

After nightfall, Datong fell into strange silence.

The Qing Shun army's 3,000 infantrymen ran 200 miles in two days to reach Datong City. They definitely did not want to launch night battles against the solid inner city overnight. The defenders were only 4,500 remaining soldiers in panic, and they did not have the courage to fight back at night.

By the early morning, the soldiers had already stopped.

The night sky was covered with lightness, the stars and moon appeared faintly behind the thin clouds, and the world was drowsy. Xu Huai stood on the corner tower and silently looked at the whole city of Datong.

The Great Vietnamese Imperial Army has weak combat power, but as a border army, the Tianxiong Army can still maintain basic training.

Xu Huai stood on the corner tower and could see the guards' torches at the base of more than 10,000 soldiers at the forefront, and the order was quite complete.

However, under the strange and quiet night, undercurrents were surging in the south, north and east cities.

Even though there was more dark night, Xu Huai could still try to distinguish something with just a small number of lights.

Especially the little bit of light moving like a lantern, Xu Huai could see that someone escaped from the other three city gates overnight, and some people escaped into the inner city's east gate. At the same time, a large number of shadows were frequently walking in the streets and alleys.

Even without Xu Wuji, Zhou Jing entered Datong one night in advance to inquire about the news. Xu Huai could see that the Khitans and foreign people who were staying in the outer city area were quickly connected in front of the huge survival crisis.

Unfortunately, the vanguard soldiers had been resting for a long time, but Ge Huaicong still didn't want to send his direct troops to control the South City, East City and North City at night.

And they only have this little man in their hands, and even if they act without worrying about Zhu Han's feelings, they are not qualified to go to the muddy waters.

Before going north, Xu Huai could hardly imagine that senior generals such as Ge Huaicong could make such poor tactical mistakes one by one. 72 Literature Network first released www(a

This made him feel angry in his chest and he could not ejaculate it.

However, Xu Wukun directly bypassed Zhu Han and ran to find Ge Huaicong, using the excuse that the northwest corner of the city wall was above their headquarters, and asked to be placed in the alert area of ​​the military inspector's envoy. This time, Ge Huaicong was very easy to talk to and was convenient.

Ge Huaicong also agreed to allow them to enter and exit the city freely so that they could arrange for people to take out the war horses for grazing.

However, Xu Huai is not difficult to guess the root cause.

Although the incident in Nuanxianglou made everyone unhappy, Ge Huaicong was not the young and energetic Ge Yu after all, so he insisted on competing with them.

In Ge Huaicong and the others' eyes, the victory was already in hand, and there was endless wealth and honor waiting for them. Why did he not get along with the military supervisor who held the power to report the case?

If the quarrels are too irritating, Ge Boyi and his father and son will be selected by Wang Fan to participate in the book, which will lead to the questioning of those in the court with red-eye diseases. Wouldn't it be because of a small loss? As for Wang Bing, Wang Fan and Cai Ying, the most glorious attack on Yan this time, are mortal enemies. Xu Huai believes that Ge Boyi and Ge Huaicong, the two fathers and sons who are better at being generals, will definitely not care about it.

If the northern expedition to Yan was successful, the Privy Councilor Cai Ying would be indifferent for a while, and he would even be able to follow the ancestral teachings and be named the prince. However, in Dayue, Cai Yingyue was glorious. Regardless of the family precepts of his ancestors, or the generals and ministers of other factions in the court, they would definitely not want to see the Cai Ying and his ancestral division dominate the court.

Wang Bingqi returned to the court and asked him to check and balance Cai Ying in the court. In fact, it was a situation that all parties were happy to see.

Wang Fan's secret envoy Chi Hu was able to return, so he worked tirelessly as the deputy envoy of the military commander of the attacking Yan army. He and Liu Shizhong and Cai Yuanyou came to Hedong to supervise the army. This matter must be a secret push by someone who is interested, and it must be in line with the will of the holy.

After arriving in Hedong, Liu Shizhong, Cai Yuanyou and others asked Wang Fan to go to the Western Army to supervise the battle alone, and they must have some understanding of the Holy Will.

Ge Boyi, Ge Huaicong and his son couldn't see the strangeness here and could not understand such a strong signal here?

The incident involving the Duke of Lu in Nuanxianglou involves Duke of Lu. The Ge family will not have any surprises. They will not hesitate to force themselves to the military supervisor to detain others, nor will they have any handles left to outsiders. But in addition to this, is there any need for the Ge family to have an unhappy relationship with Wang Bing, Wang Fan and his son?

When the prisoners gathered in Huanglongpo Post due to grain and grain, Ge Huaicong was responsible for leading his troops to guard Kelan City. He should have also learned about the style of Wang Bing and the people in Tongbai Mountain.

In name, the Military Supervisors' Inspectorate was Wang Fan and Zhu Han, but Ge Boyi, Ge Huaicong and his son would obviously not forget. If Wang Bing and Wang Fan and his son could gain power in the court in the future, Wang Bing would be the core; they would not forget that Wang Bing went to the Lanzhou Stoneyard as the supervisor, and the people who were escorting Tongbai Mountain for thousands of miles were escorting everyone.

At this critical moment, he would ask Xu Wukun to represent the people in Tongbai Mountain to bypass Zhu Han and go directly to Ge Huaicong to make some small requests. Why should Ge Huaicong refuse?

At this time, Xu Xin'an climbed the corner tower from the inside of the city. He held an iron drill in his hand and shook his head and said, "This city wall is extremely solid and the bottom is five or six meters wide. We have only three or five days to dig a hole. We can only prepare more ropes and bamboo and wood. When things are urgent, we knotted rope ladders to enter and exit!"

Xu Huai sighed. Xiao Linshi led his troops to slow down and would definitely attack Shengdemen at night to fight with the defenders in the city, the Khitans who were irritated and the young and strong men of the foreign countries to attack the Tianxiong Army that was delayed in the west city. If they could secretly take out a door hole for the troops to enter and exit from this section of the city wall before this, they might not have been able to surprise Xiao Linshi.

Unfortunately, the time left for them was too limited, and he could not do it with great fanfare. First, it could not achieve the effect of the surprise attack, and second, he had no reason to explain this to Zhu Han and Ge Huaicong.

It is already the limit to prepare more ropes in the city and quickly build several ladders.

Speaking of which, the strength they directly mastered is too weak.

If he had two thousand elites in his hands, history could be rewritten!
