No one dares to let such an elite cavalry enter the city at this time. That would be irresponsible to oneself. "
But if you ask for court documents and edicts, they will definitely not be available.
In fact, the Heng'an Town Army has no ambition here. Whether they can enter the county seat of Zhuo County or not does not really matter to them. What is important is Jicheng, the county seat of Zhuo County.
The conversation lasted for a long time.
Luo Shixin and Liu Jingsheng, who were leading the troops, were not in a hurry. What they ultimately had to wait for was not the city gate of Zhuoxian County opening in front of them, but waiting for reinforcements from Jicheng.
The last battle of the Battle of Youzhou will definitely take place under Jicheng City. Before that, the general's intention is to use up the strength of the Zhuojun garrison as much as possible and defeat them in a field battle.
The Youzhou Army has a reputation as an elite force in Hebei. They may not have many cavalry, but once they are allowed to hide in the city, it will become impossible for the Heng'an Town Army to capture it in a short time.
This was actually a sneak attack, not a tactical one, but a sneak attack in a strategic sense.
Even if you think about it, you know that the defense focus of Hebei, which has been in a mess, will definitely not be on the Taihang Mountains. The Youzhou Army will never think that the troops from Jin will come to Hebei to interfere.
Just like the group of people on the wall of Zhuoxian County now, they all became entangled when they heard that those under the city were the remnants of Duke Yang who were going to Hebei to suppress bandits and put down the rebellion.
Yang Yichen didn't stay in Hebei for long, but his reputation was really quite good.
Killing Zhang Jincheng, beheading Gao Shida, and demoting Qian, these are all big bandit leaders in Hebei and Shandong. Zhang Xutuo has led troops to suppress bandits for many years, but he has not been able to kill them. However, they were all eliminated one by one by Yang Yichen.
.
There is only one name for Hebei in the twelfth year of its great cause, and that is Yang Yichen.
There was a lot of discussion on the city wall.
"Your Majesty, your army is majestic. There is no doubt that they are Yang Gong's old troops. Maybe... you can recruit them to help?" This is quite ambitious.
"On that day, Mr. Yang wiped out the banditry. I, the Zhuojun people, didn't do anything... The people who came here were so powerful that they were allowed to enter the city. What would happen if they turned against the guests?" This is a cautious person.
"How about supplying some food and grass to drive them to attack the upper valley?" This is obviously more scheming.
At this time, someone said in a low voice: "This generation comes from Daizhou and is fully equipped with soldiers and armor. Could it be that Duke Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty wants to take my Zhuo County?"
For a moment, people became silent.
This is really impossible to say, but if you think about it carefully, it is unlikely.
Duke Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty led his troops to the south. How could he still have enough energy to send such elite troops to capture Youzhou?
Magistrate Lu is a cautious person, but also a person without much ambition. The only two things he is doing conscientiously now are to defend Zhuo County, and the other is to try hard to make the people and relatives in the county eat well.
Full stomach.
In fact, this is what a good official is. An official or general who can still think about the people these days is a good official, and everything else is just trivial matters.
In the end, Magistrate Lu made a decision that was very consistent with his status.
No matter what the intentions of these generals are, they must be treated with courtesy. If they can make good friends, Zhuo County will have many options. If not, they must be sent out of the country with courtesy to avoid troubles with arrogant and powerful generals.
"How about we invite the two leading generals into the city, hold a banquet, and inquire in detail?"
This is a discussion with the county magistrate. It is not easy for him to be a county magistrate. There are elders of the clan who are suppressing him. There are brothers and nephews who need to be taken care of. The Lu clan can survive to this day. It can only be said that they have created a small
Small miracle.
His cousin was more generous and laughed, "Don't worry, county magistrate. General Zhang and Sanlang are here. It doesn't hurt to let some people into the city. I'm afraid they won't dare to come in..."
As he spoke, he patted the shoulder of a tall man wearing armor next to him.
This man is what he calls General Zhang. In fact, he is just a chief catcher in the county. He comes from the Zhang family, which is said to be a family passed down from the late Han Dynasty, and is a descendant of Zhang Fei.
It's a pity that they are not butchers and they don't have much courage. If they are really the descendants of Zhang Fei, they will be ashamed of their descendants.
The two families are considered to be one civilized and one military, one master and one servant, and they are in charge of the rights of Zhuoxian County. Of course, Luo Yi has not yet had much time to spare at this time. Otherwise, how could Luo Yi trust such an important place like Zhuoxian County to it?
Are these people in charge?
Magistrate Lu felt relieved. While asking people to shout below, he was thinking about whether he should ask people to chase back those who asked for help.
"The county magistrate has invited General Luo and General Liu to enter the city so that they can prepare a banquet. The county's official assistant will take care of the two generals. The county is narrow, so the two generals are invited to camp outside the city..."
In fact, Luo Shixin was preparing to camp under the city. For a city like Zhuoxian, if the Heng'an Town Army attacked the city with all its strength, it would probably take some time.
Although the Heng'an Town Army can always take advantage of the Turks, in fact, the Turkic talents are the most suitable opponents for the Heng'an Town Army.
The composition of the Heng'an town army made them, like the Turks, suffer when facing a fortified city.
Therefore, the key point of the Youzhou Battle is that the enemy does not know their origins, let alone their strength, so they have the opportunity to defeat the main force of the Youzhou Army in a field battle.
As for whether such a chance of fighting will occur, it depends on the wisdom of the leaders of both sides.
After talking for a long time, the other party had no intention of opening the city gate. Luo Shixin and Liu Jingsheng had almost given up the plan of deceiving the city gate and rushing in, and were ready to camp under the city to rest.
After that, we have to pretend to attack the city, so everyone has to be mentally alert.
Unexpectedly, although these guys were not fooled, they invited the generals into the city to receive entertainment.
Luo Shixin immediately grinned with joy.
"Go, tell General Liu and ask him to wait here with his troops while I lead my men to seize the city gate, and then come up to respond."
Ten big Shandong men were immediately selected. These guys were either brigade commanders or corps commanders, and they surrounded Luo Shixin and came to the moat.
Seeing the suspension bridge slowly being lowered, Luo Shixin smiled and said to everyone: "You have seen it, I will lead you to outwit Zhuoxian County. Will the general say anything in the future? I only know how to rush and fight without thinking at all."
?”
Several of his confidants who followed him all the way from Shandong to Henan and then to Hebei all started to cheer.
They are very satisfied with their current life, and their recognition of the Heng'an Town Army is even higher than when they served General Zhang Xutuo in Shandong. After all, although General Zhang treated them well at that time, everyone could not have enough to eat.
, can't you wear warm clothes?
But when they arrived in Yunnei, they not only had enough food and clothing, but also each had a wife. They no longer had to rush around to suppress the poor people in the war. They killed countless Turks in one battle.
.
It was also a bloody fight, but the sense of honor was not something that the bandits everywhere could have. At that time, apart from helplessness and hatred for the bandits, there seemed to be no other feeling.
Fighting against the Turks was different. Seeing the corpses of the Turks being killed strewn across the fields, they only felt pleasure.
Now that they are back to attack Youzhou, they think it's nothing.
The clear military goals obviously made them feel at ease.
They have experienced hundreds of battles, and they are as calm as if they are traveling and playing, calm and relaxed.
The suspension bridge was lowered and the city gate was half open and half closed at the other end of the suspension bridge. Luo Shixin stepped onto the suspension bridge in one step and strode towards the city gate.
Magistrate Lu and others in the city still felt that the two generals knew the etiquette and knew how to dismount and enter the city. A group of people walked down the city with cheers and were about to go to the city gate corridor to greet the guests.
They didn't see that the two big men suddenly picked up the big axes in their hands, and with a few blows, they chopped off the hook of the suspension bridge.
When Luo Shixin came to the city gate, he pulled out his sword and like a tiger, he slammed into the defenders who opened the door.
The long knife slashed horizontally and vertically, beheading several people in a row, then roared angrily and kicked another city gate that was still closed. After a deafening bang, Luo Shixin was shocked and sat down on his butt.
His right leg was numb all over, and he grimaced in pain.
But the city gate, which seemed to be extremely heavy, moved back a foot with a squeak, and the entire city gate corridor reverberated, making the ears of the defenders in the corridor buzz.
This guy's strength is not ordinary.
The more than 20 unsuspecting defenders were thrown into the corridor one after another. They were turned upside down, and rows of them were chopped down to the ground amidst a series of screams.
What was even more frightening was that the large group of cavalry outside moved and rushed towards the city gate.
Two thousand cavalry effortlessly captured the county seat of Zhuoxian County, with very few casualties. They were only shot to death by two archers on the city wall, and only a dozen others were lightly or seriously injured.
After the large group of cavalry entered the city, they quickly occupied the four gates of Zhuoxian County. The eloquent officials of Zhuoxian County were captured in one piece at the city gate.
This battle sounded a bit like a joke, and that was how it felt when it reached Li Po's ears.
How foolish are those who dare to attack the city in front of the cavalry?
But Zhuoxian County was indeed captured by Luo Shixin in a daze. Li Po struggled for a long time before he was sure that this should be a good thing, right?
The strategy that was previously set can be changed.
He originally wanted to force the defenders of Zhuoxian County to ask for help from Luo Yi and defeat the reinforcements under the city of Zhuoxian County. It would be best if he could capture Zhuoxian County. If not, he would quickly send his troops eastward to attack Jicheng.
Now, since Zhuoxian has been deployed, a lot of effort has been saved.
Therefore, after careful consideration and discussion with the generals, the army immediately left the foothills of Fangshan Mountain and stationed in Zhuoxian County.
After two days of waiting, news came from Yuchi Gong. Li Po was shocked and said to himself, the Turks are quite stupid, and it seems that the people here in Youzhou are not much smarter either.
