Chapter 1192: The Battle of Lin'an, the Gun King has emerged, destroying the country of Dongcang
While Xuanyuan Jingcheng, Wu Zhao and others were busy everywhere, several battlefields in Henan and Qingbei were still proceeding in an orderly manner.
Meng Tian put his skills to the test and defeated three counties in a row, leaving only one county separated from the capital Lin'an. By attacking one more county, Meng Tian and Yang Yanzhao's troops would reach directly to the capital Lin'an.
Meng Tian easily captured three counties with almost no casualties. This also made the Dongcang court realize that these temporarily recruited peasant soldiers were simply useless and could never rely on them and the elite Kwantung Army.
Compete with each other.
Originally, they expected that no matter how weak these people's combat power was, they would still be able to stop Meng Tian and Yang Yanzhao for a few days. Even if each county could only stop them for three or four days, by the time they got here, the pressure would be enough.
It was directly reduced by more than half.
But now it seems that they still overestimated these peasant soldiers! Of course, they also overestimated the county magistrates in various places. They fell into Meng Tian's plan so easily and put these soldiers and horses at the gunpoint of others in vain.
Down!
Just in case, Huangfu Guhan asked Zhang Churang, who had escaped, to escort his third son to the Zhushan frontline camp, and he himself vowed to live and die with the capital.
In Huangfu Guhan's heart, he still held a trace of luck, thinking that he had a chance to hold on until Yang Su divided his troops to return reinforcements, and then had a chance to hold on until Dayan's reinforcements arrived.
He asked his three sons to leave Lin'an first, which was just a precaution. After all, if one of them is not released, if the city is broken before reinforcements are received, then the whole family will really be in trouble.
The bets, big and small, had to be packed up and taken away by others, and there was no hope of a comeback.
The reason why he is the third son, rather than the eldest son, is to prevent the news from leaking and causing changes in the morale of the army.
The emperor, who is the master of the imperial court, and the prince who will be the next master of Dongcang are still in the city at this time, living and dying with the soldiers. They just left an unpopular third son to replace the emperor and go to the front line to reward the soldiers and horses on the front line. Even if
Once the news was spread, the soldiers would not think too much about it.
In fact, Huangfu Guhan let his son leave very promptly. If it had been two hours later, they would not have felt able to leave even with Zhang Churang's protection.
Therefore, less than two hours after the small group of troops left, Meng Tian and Yang Yanzhao's advance troops, the Golden Fire Cavalry, had already appeared near Lin'an City.
Although there is still one county that has not been conquered, Meng Tian and Yang Yanzhao can lead the large forces to fight slowly in the remaining county. However, they both agreed to let the Golden Fire Cavalry attack first to prevent Huangfu from attacking.
John left before their main force arrived.
Meng Tian and Yang Yanzhao naturally wanted to capture the enemy monarch in one battle, which was directly related to the outcome of their battle.
If Huangfu Minghan were allowed to escape early, the enemy's capital would be finally defeated, but the country would not be destroyed in one battle, and the final effect would be greatly reduced.
And they were not afraid that after the Golden Fire Cavalry bypassed the enemy city and went straight to Lin'an, they would be cut off by these soldiers and horses.
Are you kidding me?
With 50,000 Kwantung troops watching here, how can they cut off the retreat of the Golden Fire Cavalry?
Besides, the fear of being cut off from the retreat was just because most of the Kwantung Army were infantry. Once the food route was cut off, they would face the most direct crisis.
However, the Golden Fire Cavalry was different. With their speed, they would probably just bypass the enemy city and come back.
Otherwise, why is it so difficult to destroy the cavalry?
It is difficult to defeat them on the battlefield, but what is even more difficult is how to kill their effective forces after defeat!
With the Golden Fire Cavalry watching over Lin'an, Meng Tian and Yang Yanzhao could safely attack the last obstacle to their drive to Lin'an.
However, this battle was simpler than they imagined.
Within the county town, there seemed to be a temporary organization of eight thousand peasant soldiers, which seemed to be a large number.
If eight thousand soldiers and horses defend the city under normal circumstances, even if they have 50,000 soldiers and horses, it will take a while to defeat it.
However, these eight thousand people had absolutely no combat experience. Facing trebuchets and rain of arrows, many of them panicked and had no idea how to react on the battlefield.
Moreover, in this city, there are no strong generals to command, and it relies entirely on the temporary support of the county magistrate and the county lieutenant.
Therefore, in just one morning, Deng Jiugong had already made the first move. Holding a big sword, he charged towards the city wall with invincible courage and cleared a place for subsequent troops to board.
The city wall.
On the other hand, the enemy soldiers and horses, after Deng Jiugong arrived first, seemed to be frightened and were unable to respond in time. No one mobilized troops in time to drive Deng Jiugong away.
Therefore, the situation is completely out of control.
Meng Tian, who was commanded by his subordinates, took advantage of the situation and sent more soldiers and horses to attack. It only took him a morning to knock on the gate of the county town.
Meng Tian and Yang Yanzhao just let the soldiers rest for one night, and left two thousand troops for Yang Yanlang to take care of the city and keep an eye on the captured prisoners until dawn the next day.
, he led the whole army and rushed towards Lin'an City in a mighty manner.
Since then, the mighty Battle of Lin'an has officially begun.
The final victory of this battle also marked that less than two months after the start of the Han Dynasty's Southern Expedition, Dongcang had been nominally destroyed, making Meng Tian and Yang Yanzhao the shining heroes in the Southern Expedition.
Two highlights.
………………
Lin'an is, after all, the largest city in Qingbei Road, with a population of half a million.
As soon as the news came back that Meng Tian had annihilated Zhang Daozong's 80,000 soldiers and horses, Huangfu Guhan gathered all the scattered soldiers and horses from all over Pingyuan County into the capital Lin'an City. Finally, it was barely enough.
Ten thousand soldiers and horses.
In addition, all the government officials from various counties were gathered together, which can be regarded as more than a thousand people.
The government officials in each county are no worse than regular soldiers in terms of personal combat effectiveness. However, if it is a large-scale battle in a formation, then it is impossible for the government officials to compare with regular soldiers. After all, this is a matter of both sides.
determined by the responsibilities.
However, even so, these government officials are at least more useful than the ordinary people summoned temporarily.
In addition, Huangfu Guhan also actively mobilized the aristocratic families in the city, and within a short period of time, he raised a peasant army of 30,000 people. Moreover, he opened the treasury extensively, and with the support of various aristocratic families, he barely managed to
Each of these 30,000 people was issued a usable weapon.
Even for a small number of them, Huangfu Guhan equipped them with armor. Of course, it was just paper armor or leather armor. If there was extra armor, wouldn't Huangfu Guhan give it to those regular soldiers and horses? Why?
It’s not the turn of these peasant soldiers!
With these 40,000 troops and horses, coupled with the tall Lin'an City, Huangfu Guhan was confident that even if the Kwantung Army could fight, he would still be able to hold on for a month.
In a month's time, Yang Su's reinforcements, or Dayan's reinforcements, should arrive anyway.
What's more, there are still three thousand Demon Sect disciples in Lin'an today.
These three thousand Demon Sect disciples were all brought here by Huang Ying.
Originally, he was planning to hand over these people to Zhang Daozong to help Zhang Daozong defeat Meng Tian. But who would have thought that Zhang Daozong was so careless. As soon as his men passed by, Zhang Daozong was defeated by Meng Tian before they even had time to join Zhang Daozong.
.
Therefore, Huangying temporarily handed over these three thousand people to Huangfu Minghan.
These three thousand people are already the essence of the Qingbei Dao Demon Sect. The elite disciples of the Qingbei Dao Demon Sect, large and small, were all forcibly summoned by Huang Ying, the Da Cang Demon Sect.
If these three thousand people are defeated, the Qingbei Demon Sect will be completely in ruins. The remaining five scum of the war will not be able to support the power of the Qingbei Demon Sect.
"Your Majesty, although our army is large in strength, its combat power is weak. If the Han army attacks the city at all costs, it will only be a matter of time before Lin'an falls! Why not leave through the tunnel first!" In the palace, Huangfu Song's face was filled with worry.
road.
The few people present were all core figures in the Dongcang court, and they were all trustworthy people. Therefore, Huangfu Song told the truth, instead of shouting slogans like crazy in front of the ministers.
Although Huangfu Guhan sent a son away a few days ago, he was not a prince, but an ordinary prince, a prince who had no sense of existence and was not favored.
If Huangfu Gu Han were to be here, I'm afraid it would be difficult to support Dongcang's overall situation. At that time, even if Dongcang survives by chance, I'm afraid it will be a situation where the leader is weak and the ministers are strong.
But when the leader is weak and the minister is strong, the Wei Dynasty has learned a lesson from the past, right before our eyes.
An emperor stumbles and falls into the water just before he takes office. This is making the whole world look like fools.
Therefore, Huangfu Song wanted to leave Huangfu Minghan at this time.
After all, except for a few of them, no one else knew there was a secret passage. It would be no problem to find a substitute to cover it up and hide it for a while. Those soldiers still thought that the emperor was still in the city, so it would not affect morale too much!
"no."
Huangfu Guhan decisively refused and said: "Only if I stay can the whole city be determined to defend. If I leave, Lin'an City will not be able to defend at all."
Huangfu Guhan was able to reach this day in troubled times because of his own decision-making.
If he was afraid of death, he would have left long ago.
And if he leaves now, even if he can hide it for a while, it won't last forever. Once the news leaks out, the morale of the soldiers will fall to the lowest point in an instant.
By that time, Lin'an City will really be finished.
On the contrary, as long as he stands here and persists for less than a month, Lin'an City's turning point may come. For the sake of Dongcang's life and death, Huangfu Minghan is willing to take this risk.
"But……"
"Okay, don't try to persuade me anymore. It's up to people to plan things, and it's up to God to make things happen. Brother Huang just needs to guard Lin'an." Huangfu Guhan said firmly.
"From tomorrow onwards, let the prince go to appease the people in the city every day!"
"I will go to the city wall to supervise the battle! I, the Great Cang, will win this battle!"
Huangfu Guhan didn't know whether to cheer for himself or for others present.
"Your Majesty, go to the city wall to supervise the battle. I don't dare to stop you!"
"It's just that Mr. Yin must be guarding you!" Chen Qun suggested.
If the emperor appeared personally on the city wall, he would definitely be able to inspire the morale of the entire army.
However, once they appear on the city wall, swords will be flying, and safety will become a big problem. Therefore, it is natural to prepare sufficient defensive forces around you.
This so-called Mr. Yin is the supreme elder of Moji Sect. He is not from the imperial court, but he is also a close associate of Emperor Ying and a great master in the early days of heavenly beings.
The people of the Demon Sect are all rebellious and disobedient to discipline, and these people are not from their Demon Ji Sect. The Demon Ji Sect is in the south of Da Cang. Even if Huang Ying wants to summon them, he can't do it so quickly.
It can be reached. If Huangying didn't leave a few people to suppress them, Huangfu Minghan would not be able to effectively use this force.
The Moji Sect is the head of the Da Cang Demon Sect, and more than one-third of the power of the Da Cang Demon Sect is within their control.
In particular, a few years ago, the old master of Xieji Sect, another top demon sect force in Da Cang, was deceived by Donghuang Taiyi to go to Dawu to find trouble with Mahayana Buddhism. A dignified late-stage celestial being was directly wanted.
The powerful Gu Qingzhu slapped the Tianling Canopy.
Without the old sect leader in the late stage of Tianren, there is only Xiang Yutian in the early stage of Tianren. At the same time, Huang Ying has broken through from the late stage of Tianren to the peak of Tianren. It can be said that even the Xieji Sect cannot compete with the Demon Ji Sect.
Competing with each other, they are truly the only one in the Da Cang Demon Sect.
In the whole of Dongcang, there is actually only one master of the celestial level, An Zaitian. After An Zaitian died in Kaifeng, Dongcang can no longer produce any power of the celestial level.
If Huang Ying hadn't brought one, Huangfu Guhan, the majestic emperor of a country, would probably only have a few grandmaster-level guards left.
There were not even a few clan-level guards to be found.
How many of the truly trustworthy masters are left in the Imperial City, including those sent to protect Yang Su and Zhang Daozong?
Of course, as for those who protected Zhang Daozong, their bones have now been buried in the soil.
"As it should be!"
Regarding Chen Qun's suggestion, Huangfu Guhan nodded in agreement.
His imperial uncle, in the past few years, had known that there was such a powerful figure in Da Cang secretly, and when he sent people to contact him, he seemed to ignore him and not take him seriously. But fortunately
, at this critical time, you are always more reliable than others.
"Your Majesty, something serious has happened!"
At this moment, an official hurriedly walked in after announcing.
