The battle on the beach of the Yellow River was fierce and cruel. The Tang army came fiercely, but Yuchi and his troops were not afraid. They fought hand-to-hand with the Tang army on the beach. In less than half an hour, the beach of the Yellow River turned into a hell filled with corpses.
It really goes with what Li Shimin said, when the infantry meets on a narrow road, the brave will win. Once the infantry meets head-on and gets entangled, it will depend on who has a stronger offensive, who has a stronger desire to survive, and who can hold on longer.
More and more people from the Tang Army crossed the bridge and gradually formed an array on the bank of the Yellow River. This was a sign that the Tang Army had gained a firm foothold on the bank. The fighting in front was getting louder and louder, with people falling down and people coming forward.
, blood began to flow freely, and human lives were disappearing rapidly.
Of course, even though the fighting was getting more and more brutal, Yuchi Kai's troops, who were in the camp not far behind, were not in much danger. Neither side set up too many obstacles on the river bank, hoping to let the other side cross the river and fight.
In fact, it's all very obvious.
In the previous strategic back-and-forth, the final result was that the Tang army crossed the river to seek battle, and Li Po's army became the role of guarding the beachhead. This was undoubtedly a strategic victory.
Just as the war drums were rumbling and the Tang army commander's flag was slowly moving forward, urging the troops to cross the river.
Pubanxi city gate finally opened wide, and a group of people rushed out of the city gate in chaos, looking like they were going to attack Yuchi and his family from both front and rear.
Somewhere behind the army, under a big flag, Yuchi Kai looked as steely as he listened to the news of the Tang army leaving the city, and just curled his lips slightly.
"Send an order to Wang Dagui and ask him to stop the bastards coming out of the city and let one of them go. I only ask him."
Being attacked from both sides? As a descendant of the Yang family, he had fought with Li Po for many years in Jin. Since he led his troops to such a "dangerous" place, how could he be afraid of being attacked from both sides?
At this time, his eyes were only fixed on the flag of the Tang Army commander on the other side. There was a big word "Li" on it, indicating that Li Er should have arrived. Yu Chikai muttered to himself, if this was on a flat ground, I would definitely lead his men to cut down Li Er.
Who among the people dared to hold their heads high in front of him when he fell?
Those elite Tang troops who broke through three shield walls in a row and slowly advanced toward his center couldn't stop his beautiful yy.
In fact, at this time, even though the Tang army's offensive was getting stronger and stronger, the battle on the river bank was already coming to an end.
Zhang Lun's battle flag appeared behind Yuchi Kai's troops, and two thousand cavalry followed. They swept away the defenders leaving the city like wind and clouds, and almost broke into the west city gate, stealing the credit from the infantry.
.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Chongmao fled through the city and died in the rebellion.
Li Shimin failed to create any miracles this time. The well-trained and experienced Jin army used more powerful postures and more orderly strategies and tactics, causing the Tang army to gain nothing and suffer heavy losses.
When Zhang Lun's troops arrived, the battle flags of the Tang army were waving, and the retreating horns also sounded.
Yuchi and his troops, who were quite damaged, naturally would not let the Tang army retreat to the west bank. Amidst the sound of war drums, the soldiers moved forward together and tore off a bloody tail of the Tang army. To retreat to the west bank, they still had to cross the Yellow River pontoon bridge.
The Tang army on the Pujin Bridge endured the baptism of waves of arrows. After the First World War, the corpses of the Tang army were spread on the river beach and the pontoon bridge, and the blood dyed the bridge deck red.
When Yu Chikai, who had accomplished a great feat, met Zhang Lun, his first sentence was regretful: "It's a pity that we couldn't wait until Li Er crossed the river. Otherwise, our brothers would have worked together to capture Li Er and deliver him to the general."
…”
Although he was talking about it, in fact, when he saw that it was Zhang Lun who came to help, Yuchi Kai's heart jumped twice. You must know that in the battle of Longmen at the end of last winter, Zhang Lun received a heavy reward, but his reputation was among the generals.
It also broke a lot.
If Zhang Lun was hiding on one side and wanted to wait for Li Er to cross the river to grab the credit... Yu Chikai couldn't help but cursed secretly, what a damn dangerous situation.
Does Zhang Lun have such thoughts? There is no need to ask. If he was commanding the army, even if he saw Yuchi and his entire army being annihilated on the river beach, he would definitely wait until the middle army of the Tang army crossed the river.
Because with the existing military strength, it is possible to keep Li Er on the east bank of the Yellow River. Since this is possible, it might as well give it a try. As for Yuchi Kai's life and death, people like Zhang Dabeard will not go
Thinking about it.
Unfortunately, he neither dared to watch Yuchi and his troops fight to the death with the Tang army, nor could he really let the Tang army cross the river. He had many worries.
As a newly recruited person, he was able to occupy the position of a general of the Wei Mansion. Many people in the army were jealous. Moreover, he had a vague reputation in the army for being unwilling to save people. If he continued to act recklessly, even Li
Even if his head is chopped off, his colleagues will definitely attack him in groups.
His foundation in the Jin Army is basically shallow. If he is widely squeezed out by his colleagues, you can only imagine what will happen to him in the end.
Moreover, the most important point is that the military order clearly understood that there was no need to perform any feats, it only needed to prevent the Tang army from crossing the river, and there was no intention of letting them let go.
So Zhang Lun was scratching his beard and felt quite regretful. He saw the shadow of King Qin twice but failed to catch it. He was also very dissatisfied here.
But like Yuchi Kai, he also chuckled and said: "What General Yuchi said is that he heard that Erlang Li was brave and good at fighting, but when he saw it today, it was nothing more than that. He didn't let others come to die, but he hid behind and acted like a turtle.
?What a pity, what a pity..."
When the two of them joined forces, firmly guarded the beachhead, and sent people to report to Li Po, the two of them did not wait for subsequent military orders, and could only watch eagerly as Luo Shixin's cavalry circled and provoked under the city.
Of course, they didn't wait long. This time there was no competition between Chen Yuan and Yu Wenhuo won the prize.
His powerful general Zhao Shixun once again made the first attack on the city, killing several people at the top of the city and successfully gaining a foothold. Unexpectedly, Wang Xingben's troops became the breakthrough point for the siege army.
Because he was not facing the main force of the siege army, and saw the army under the city split up and go away, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. This kind of relaxation may seem inconspicuous, but in a stalemate siege battle, it is particularly fatal.
.
In addition, it was reported that Lu Chongmao had escaped from the city soon. For a moment, Wang Xingben was in a state of confusion, and he immediately thought of escaping and surrendering.
When the general is distracted and looking away, can he still expect his soldiers to fight desperately?
Of course, most of the grass-headed kings like Wang Xingben who got in for no reason had the fate of being taken over by others. Their fighting will was not firm, and they could not clearly see the way forward. They would end up with the same fate if they randomly stood in line, even if they survived.
Even though they have only one official position, given their talents and character, most of them will not end up well.
Beicheng was about to be destroyed, and Wang Xingben surrendered immediately...
Subsequently, Xu Shiji of Dongcheng led 500 troops to ascend the city and made achievements in Dongcheng. Seeing that the city was about to be lost, Dugu Yanyun led his troops to retreat into the city and fought to the death.
When the army swarmed in from the city gate, his desperate struggle, apart from showing a bit of the heroism of the Kansai people, did not stir up much excitement.
Dugu Yanyun died in battle. According to the established destiny, now, how many of the nine famous generals of Xuanwu Sect are left now?
At this point, the war surrounding Pu Ban has come to an end.
The battle flag of the Tang Army planted at the top of Puban City slowly fell, and the Sun, Moon and Star Flag reoccupied the place. Apart from adding a few footnotes to this troubled world where human lives are like grass, it did not change anything, and it was not enough to change anything.
The two giants collided here, and sparks flew everywhere. Puban, who was caught in the middle, was naturally not safe.
There are not many people left in Puban City. When Yao Junsu resisted Li Tang in Puban and was besieged for a long time, the soldiers and civilians in Puban City almost went to the point of cannibalism.
When Yao Junsu was killed, Wang Xingben led his people to surrender to Li Po first, and then rebelled and defected to the Tang Dynasty. The people of Puban, who had had enough food for several days, faced war again.
Nowadays, Puban City, which was quite prosperous at the time, has changed beyond recognition. There are only ten people in the city. It can be said that the people here are one of the places in Jin that have suffered the most from the war.
When Li Po decided to take Puban in the first battle, there were not many middle-aged people in the city, not even children and old people. Most of the ones left were women. The scene was similar to that of Mayi in the north.
So somewhat similar.
The heads of Wang Xingben and Lu Chongmao quickly climbed up the flagpole at the top of the city. Although Li Po was disgusted with this extremely barbaric method, if everyone didn't let everyone see the fate of these culprits intuitively, given the behavior of people these days,
By nature, those who are brave will dare to repeat the same mistakes.
Regarding Dugu Yanyun, what Li Po did was in line with the rules of the world.
He picked out the bodies of Dugu Yanyun and the Kansai Xiaoguos who died in the battle, and sent them to the other side one after another. At this time, his plot had become more long-term.
If Dugu Yanyun was still alive, his fate would probably be no different from that of Wang Xingben, but since he is already dead, he might as well be more generous.
Moreover, now that he has entered Guanzhong from the west, the idea of commanding his army in Chang'an has taken root in Li Po's mind. After seeing his majesty, it is also very good for the people of Guanxi to show his "kindness" and "courteous" side.
Necessary.
Of course, after hearing the report from Zhang Lun and Yuchi Kai, he felt a little regretful. If he knew that Li Er personally led the army to cross the river, he would have let him go...
Well, he is indeed a little greedy. Now that he is obsessed with stability, he has fully realized the strategic intention he had locked in before. If he tries to force anything else, he might lose his teeth.
Li Po did not stay longer in Pu Ban. In his opinion, this battle was of little significance and was suspected of hitting the bones with a heavy hammer.
Some energetic guys once again proposed to take advantage of the victory to cross the river, but Li Po suppressed them rudely. After that, these guys were more or less dealt with.
Immediately, Li Po ordered Li Nian to lead two thousand cavalry to scout along the north bank of the Yellow River. Once someone wanted to cross the river, there was no need to guard the ferry. With Pu Ban as a support, whoever wanted to come over would face the Daizhou cavalry in a field battle.
