Li Qinghao is not too tall, but his skin is yellow and the veins in his arms are swollen. He looks like a fierce man at first glance. At this time, he couldn't help but cover his head, "Damn, what are the Han people doing? What are they doing in our Chunchuan City? Are they?
He still thinks he can destroy our Baishui Army with just those few troops? Also, what's going on with Renzhou? Do the Han people really don't want Hanyang City?"
Li Qinghao was anxious to know the result, so the scouts could only search for the news with all their strength. At this time, Renzhou was already in the flames of war. At the fourth hour of the first lunar month, before the fog dispersed and the sun had not broken through the clouds, Li Wanqing led
The army made a surprise attack on Renzhou City. Today's Renzhou is not the Incheon of later generations. It is just a small city with very low walls. In addition, there are few defenders and no defense. The navy of the Northern Shanxi Army only used two charges.
They laid down the west city wall of Renzhou. By the time Hanyang City reacted, the Northern Shanxi Army had already occupied Renzhou.
The fall of Renzhou was quickly spread to Chunchuan City. When he heard that the Han people had captured Renzhou but were reluctant to use troops in Hanyang, Li Qinghao finally understood that the Han people were really coming for Li this time, and they were not at all
It was for Cui Zhuo. Not to mention Li Qinghao, even Cui Zhuo in Hanyang City was confused. He attacked Inju instead of Hanyang, but went to the vicinity of Chunchuan City. What kind of medicine was sold in Tiemo's gourd?
The Northern Jin Army threatened Chuncheon City. This move can be said to be beyond everyone's expectations. Today's Chuncheon City cannot be compared with later generations. It is just a city connecting the north mouth of the Soyang River and the Han River. Today, North Korea is poor and weak, and most of the supplies
It flowed in from Liaodong, so Chuncheon City today is more like an inland poor city, far from the prosperous trade scene of later generations.
The people of Chunchuan are poor, and coupled with the constant wars for decades, the situation around Chunchuan is worse than Nagasaki, Japan during the Warring States Period. It is such a bad city, and I am afraid that except for Li Qinghao who uses it as his foundation, no one else will be interested.
Because of this, no one was on guard against the Northern Shanxi Army, but unfortunately, the Northern Shanxi Army came.
Chuncheon Castle is not a strong city, especially the east wall. Due to the battle between the royal army and the former Silla rebels for the northern mouth of the Han River 20 years ago, Chuncheon Castle suffered successive military disasters, and the east wall was also torn down at that time. Although it has passed
Twenty years ago, after Li Qinghao took control of Chuncheon City, he also thought about vigorously strengthening the city. However, because it was too poor, and Chuncheon City was not a strategic location, it took a few years to build it but it was demolished. To this day, Chuncheon City defenses remain the same.
It's dilapidated, it just looks like a city wall.
After Xu Cheng led his troops to arrive twenty miles outside Chunchuan City, he discussed the siege plan with Geng Yi. The Northern Shanxi Army marched in a hurry and was exhausted. According to common sense, it should take a rest, but the order was to attack Chunchuan by surprise and not give Li Qinghao more opportunities.
Reaction time. Since it was a surprise attack, Xu Chengcheng had to strictly follow the order. After only half a day's rest, the army gathered outside the city. It was midnight now, and most people in Chuncheon City had rested. Even Li Qinghao was hiding in the house and taking a nap.
, because there are very few people who attack a city at night, unless that person's head is missing a string.
"Brother Xu, Zhao Yunhong just sent back the news. After investigation, the weakest direction of Chunchuan City should be the east wall. Although it has been repaired, there is a lot of yellow mud inside, but there is a layer of stone wrapping on the outside. If thunder blasting is used,
, it should be easy to open a gap, so Geng thinks we should focus on the east. As long as we open the gap, we will definitely be able to capture Chunchuan City."
Geng Yi was very confident when he said these words. Xu Cheng frowned, obviously considering Geng Yi's suggestion, "Well, what General Geng said is true. The main attack on the east is for sure. If this weak point is not big, wouldn't it be a waste of resources?
Huh? However, there is no rush. General Geng must not forget that our goal is not to simply occupy Chunchuan City, but to drive Li Qinghao out of Chunchuan. If we rush into the city and get entangled with Li Qinghao's army, by then
I’m afraid we can’t afford the casualties.”
As the war approached, Xu Cheng still maintained a clear sense of reason in his mind. He knew clearly that the Northern Shanxi Army did not invest many troops in North Korea and could not afford to fight a war of attrition. Street fighting with the enemy was precisely the most unpredictable way.
, Li Qinghao has occupied Chunchuan for more than ten years, and his soldiers and horses are very familiar with Chunchuan City. On the contrary, the Northern Shanxi Army has just arrived, and they are playing street fighting with others. Isn't it better to use one's own shortcomings to attack the other's strengths? The best way is to force them.
Li Qinghao left Chunchuan to avoid a large-scale fight.
Xu Cheng reminded Geng Yi that he also figured out the joints. He touched his chin and thought.
After a while, he clicked on Chunchuan City on the map, "General Xu, in the early years, Geng personally experienced the bloody battle of Wuzhou City with His Highness. At that time, His Highness said that if the enemy comes out, he must attack him.
Save. General Xu, please see, although it is the middle of winter and the Soyang River is frozen, the Han River is not frozen. If we send troops to station at the mouth of the Han River and massively excavate the north bank of the river mouth, what do you think the effect will be?"
Hearing what Geng Yi said, Xu Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up. After thinking about it, he patted Geng Yi on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Old Geng, I didn't expect you to come up with this trick and dig the mouth of the Han River. If Li Qinghao hadn't
Just come out, and as soon as he comes out, use the water from the Han River to wash him in and feed him to the bastard. Hehe, it’s really wonderful, how did you come up with this idea?”
Geng Yi cupped his hands and said modestly, "Brother Xu, to be honest, there is nothing special about it. These tricks were all used by His Highness back then. At that time, in order to let the opponent divide their troops and weaken the defenders, His Highness asked Chen Yaofeng to dig them out.
The Gray River embankment. The *** came over to stop it, but instead of digging the river to flood the city, Chen Yaofeng flooded the city with water and drowned all the more than ten thousand elite *** who came out of the city."
Listening to Geng Yi's narration, Xu Cheng couldn't help but fell into deep thought. Of course, Chunchuan and Wuzhou also have many similarities. The purpose of coming here is to capture Chunchuan and eliminate the effective strength of the White Water Army as much as possible. If the mouth of the Han River is dug, it will definitely
The city won't really be flooded, but the problem is that Li Qinghao doesn't know. As soon as the excavation here is started, Li Qinghao will definitely tremble with fear. Even if he is cautious, he will definitely send a large army to prevent the Northern Shanxi Army from digging the river. What will happen then?
Li Qinghao is easy to say.
Xu Cheng was a decisive man. He immediately ordered people to go to the mouth of the Han River with great fanfare. He just dug the mouth of the Han River, but three thousand people came there. It seemed that the hole would be dug within two hours. At the same time, Geng Yi sent people again
Flags were planted on Wusong Hill, a highland north of Chunchuan City, as if the main force of the Northern Shanxi Army was gathered here.
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the sun pierced the clouds. Li Qinghao, who had worked hard all day, yawned and reluctantly got up. Just as he was about to eat something, he saw Cui Lin, his captain of the bodyguard, running in anxiously. Cui Lin in the middle of winter
His head was steaming from running. When he saw Li Qinghao, he didn't bother to drink water. He held the door and panted, "General, it's not good. This morning, my brothers discovered that a large number of Han people had rushed to the mouth of the Han River. Look at their posture. They
It seems that they are trying to dig out the mouth of the Han River. And... and... there are a large number of Han soldiers and horses in the Wusong Hills in the north. Judging from the flags and camps, it should be the main Han army."
"What?" Li Qinghao clutched the towel and his eyes were as big as copper bells. At this time, he was in a state of confusion and had no idea at all. The Han soldiers and horses were heading to the mouth of the Han River. His first impression was that the Han people were going to the mouth of the Han River.
If it was not enough to dig up the Han River and flood Chuncheon City, the appearance of the main Han force in Wusong Hills in the northern highlands confirmed his suspicion.
If the water had not flooded Chuncheon City, why would the main force of the Han people have gone to the northern highlands to hide? Wouldn't it be better to camp directly on the river bank northeast of Chuncheon? They wanted to hide in high places first so that they could see how the water of the Han River rushed into Chuncheon City.
Well. Shameless Han people, shameless Han people, if you want to fight, just fight them openly. Why do you use such a dirty method to dig up the mouth of the Han River?
Li Qinghao is not a conspirator. In other words, the situation he faces is exactly the same as that faced by Yelusa. He does not have enough time to think and can only act based on instinct. Li Qinghao made the same choice as Yelusa. Yelusa was
The troops were divided, and Li Qinghao personally led the troops to fight. Just after Chenshi, in order to prevent the Northern Shanxi Army from digging up the mouth of the Han River, Li Qinghao took the lead and led more than 8,000 men under his command to leave Chunchuan City.
This army is heading towards the northern end of the Han River, from Chuncheon to the mouth of the Han River, passing through a valley called Shilong Valley. If Li Qinghao is careful enough, he still has a chance to save himself at this time. If he can discover Shilong Valley
If there is an ambush, retreat for the time being. The Northern Shan army still has nothing to do with him. Unfortunately, Li Qinghao’s mind is full of the mouth of the Han River. Even his soldiers and horses are only thinking about how to drive away the Han people and guard the mouth of the Han River. So eight thousand
Many armies hurriedly passed through Shilong Valley, directly cutting off their last hope.
After passing Shilong Valley, ten miles further to the west is the Han River Estuary, and Shilong Valley is also the highest place east of the Han River Estuary. The Northern Shanxi Army ambushed here, waiting for Li Qinghao's defeated troops to escape. They just waited and waited.
What about the wonderful things?
Xu Cheng is wearing the black armor of an ordinary soldier. Standing in the crowd, as long as others don't say anything,
It is estimated that the North Koreans could not see that there was a general standing at the mouth of the Han River. Xu Cheng did not dare to reveal his identity. If Li Qinghao knew that Xu Cheng was here, he would definitely react. As a general, he would not go to Chunchuan City, but
At the mouth of the Han River, you can figure it out with a little thought. Li Qinghao is not a fool. If he knew that Xu Cheng regarded this place as the main battlefield, his first reaction would probably be to withdraw and fight an unprepared battle. Any leader would
No one wants to do it either.
Xu Cheng was really afraid that Li Qinghao would not come out of Chunchuan City. In that case, he would not dare to dig the mouth of the Han River. Otherwise, he would not be able to flood Chunchuan City and himself if he dug a hole. Fortunately, Li Qinghao seemed to be very cooperative and even led the nearby people.
Tens of thousands of troops came to the rescue of the mouth of the Han River. Looking at the vast depression in front of him, he felt a sigh of relief in his heart. Li Qinghao didn't know if he could survive this battle.
"Report, General Xu, that Li Qinghao's army is already five miles away from the mouth of the Han River. In addition, there is a letter from General Li. Cui Zhuo's troops in Hanyang have been mobilized frequently. There is fear of action. The general ordered our troops to resolve the Chunchuan War as soon as possible to prevent Cui Zhuo from attacking the king of heaven.
Use troops in the stronghold."
Nodding, Xu Cheng said, "The situation is indeed very urgent. Cui Zhuo is a smart man. He cannot understand the truth of death and coldness. In order to protect himself, he will not watch the White Water Army be extinguished. The greatest possibility
They went north to attack Tianwang Village and completely isolate Nanpu City.
Cui Zhuo's involvement is definitely not what the Northern Shanxi Army wants to see, so the only thing they can do is to capture Chunchuan as quickly as possible, and then intimidate Hanyang City so that Cui Zhuo has no time to care. Thinking of this, Xu Cheng's eyes flashed
With a hint of ferociousness, he said, "Instruct Zhao Yunhong to see the blue flag as a signal, open the gap in the embankment, and then make a circuitous route to the north. The White Water Army must not be allowed to flee north."
"Here" the guards took the order and left. At this moment, the officers and soldiers of the Northern Shanxi Army felt a heavy weight. Although this battle seemed to be a small problem, there was no room for any mistakes. If something happened, Li Qinghao would
If we fight head-on, the consequences are unpredictable. After all, this place is not too far from Chuncheon City, and the Koreans can come with support at any time.
Xu Cheng hugged his arms and kept looking east. This battle depends on how well the cooperation goes. The water will definitely not be able to flood Chunchuan City. It depends on whether Geng Yi can contain the remaining soldiers and horses of Chunchuan City in time.
There are no reinforcements here, so we are still very sure that we can kill Li Qinghao.
Li Qinghao's face was red, and he hurried all the way. He didn't even eat breakfast. Even a tough guy couldn't bear it. He took out a piece of pancake from the basket and ate it with cold water. He kept saying, "Everything."
Don't stop, brothers, work harder, and when the Han people are driven away, return to the city and Mr. Li will give you a meal."
As soon as they heard that there was meat to eat, the eyes of all the subordinates suddenly lit up. Later generations of Koreans regarded beef and mutton as treasures, and even an apple was regarded as a good thing. This was entirely determined by the terrain of the peninsula. The mountainous terrain was destined to be unable to develop vigorously.
In animal husbandry, not to mention the planting industry, later generations of Koreans lacked meat and made pickles all day long. Today's North Koreans are even worse. Some people may not eat some meat for a year. Li Qinghao used meat to mobilize his soldiers, which can be considered a smart move.
After lifting it, no, none of them felt tired, they raised their swords and guns and screamed.
Thousands of troops rushed straight to the mouth of the Han River. They were about to reach the bottom of the river mouth embankment when they heard a loud noise in the distance, a blue flag was waved, and a clattering sound was heard. Li Qinghao was a little confused, what the hell, just listening to the sound of cannons
, there were no soldiers and horses, could it be that the cannons were fired to scare people? Li Qinghao didn't think about it for too long, because someone in front of him had already shouted, "Look, water...water...it's so big water, mother, hurry up"
Run..."
It was almost as if it was agreed upon. The person in charge of the giant shield in front no longer cared about the formation. He glanced at the shield and ran swarm towards the high ground to the north. Now thousands of troops were in chaos. Li Qinghao was in the middle and couldn't see the situation in front.
, when he saw the so-called flood, his whole face turned pale. He finally understood that the Han people did not want to flood Chunchuan City, but they were digging an opening for Li Qinghao to lead his troops into the depression.
The water is ruthless, let alone the surging Han River. The roaring water rushes down unstoppably with the overwhelming force. The soldiers of the White Water Army at the front are directly swept up by the water. In the waves, they are like a stick.
A duckweed, no matter how much it screams, it still can't resist the current flowing around it.
