Chapter 1909 Destroy Li Chu

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    While Huang Weilie recruited Zuo Tiancheng, Chen Botu, Chen Leng, Du Fuwei and others, Huang Weiyang also completed the destruction of Li Zitong.

    In the battle of Yiling River that day, the Sui army won a great victory.

    After the war, the Sui army gathered its troops and cleaned up the battlefield. They captured more than 30,000 prisoners of various kinds and captured countless others.  Not only did Li Zitong's troops suffer heavy losses, the Sui army in charge of the eastern front battlefield was also completely dispersed.

    Of the previous 40,000 Sui troops, Shen Guang's troops were less than 3,000, only more than half of them were left, while Mai Mengcai's troops were slightly better, with only about 5,000 left.

    Although Huang Weiyang did not agree with Ling Jing's method, he would not increase the number of troops for the two of them.  Huang Mingyuan gave 5,000 of the remaining more than 10,000 Sui army prisoners to order to regroup their fighting strength.  The rest were all collected by Huang Weiyang into his own pocket in the name of increasing the naval combat power, including nearly 200 warships under Lai Huer's command.

    The troops under Lai Huer's command were originally naval troops. Huang Weiyang took away all the sailors and warships. The remaining five thousand people had almost broken backs and were no longer a threat, so Huang Mingyuan generously gave them to him for rehabilitation.

    As for the more than 10,000 prisoners of the Chu army, after recruiting some of the elites, they were all sent back to Jiangnan to work by Huang Weiyang.

    ¡°Prisoners, they have no human rights at any time.

    After the Battle of Yiling River, facing the Sui army's great victory, Shen Guang suggested that Huang Weiyang take advantage of Yu Wenhua's unpreparedness to mobilize all three armies and attack Jiangdu directly.

    Mai Mengcai and Laizheng are also eager to give it a try.

    At this time, Ling Jing said: "It is inevitable to go west to Jiangdu to conquer the rebels, but it is not appropriate to attack Jiangdu at this time. Although Li Zitong was defeated in this battle, his foundation was not lost and his strength was still there.  Jiangdu has many soldiers, so we may not be able to defeat it. And once our army is unfavorable in attacking Jiangdu and gets into a stalemate with the rebels, and Li Zitong attacks us, our army will be in a situation of being attacked from both sides."

    Shen Guang said hurriedly: "How can Li Zitong dare to attack our army secretly after such a defeat? Besides, this is obviously beneficial to Yu Wenhuaji, but not to them."

    Ling Jing said: "Soldiers are unpredictable, and water is unpredictable. Before today, no one thought that Yu Wenhuaji would dare to rebel. Who can guarantee that Li Zitong and Yu Wenhuaji will not get together. One of them is a traitor, and the other  The thieves are like raccoons, even if they are really connected, it is a matter of course."

    "But¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤"

    Shen Guang wanted to distinguish something more, but Huang Weiyang stretched out his hand to interrupt him and said: "What General Shen said today is absolutely true, but what Mr. Ling said is also reasonable. Attack Jiangdu, punish the rebels, and commit suicide."  This is a matter of urgency, but when marching and fighting, safety should be the top priority. Li Zitong is indeed a big threat.

    Yesterday I just received a letter from my brother Shanyang Hou. He has safely broken out of the encirclement and is preparing to go to General Zuo Tiancheng's camp to gather his troops and launch a counterattack.  Si minus 75*zw.c*om Si

    I think that instead of our army attacking Jiangdu alone, it would be better for the two armies to cooperate and advance from left to right to encircle Jiangdu, so that we can be more sure of defeating the thieves.  "

    Ling Jing hurriedly said: "What Mr. Lang said is absolutely true."

    Shen Guang, Mai Mengcai, and Laizheng didn't have any objections to this.  The previous questions are all facts. If there are reinforcements, the probability of success will not be greater.

    Huang Weilie was still gathering his troops, and it was not a matter of time before he led his troops westward. Naturally, they had time to spare, and it was inevitable to attack Li Zitong.

    So Huang Weiyang ordered Mai Mengcai and Laizheng to be the vanguard and send troops to Hailing.  He also ordered Shen Guang's troops to serve as a partial army and rush north to Lingting (now south of Xinghua City, Jiangsu Province).

    The mausoleum pavilion borders Gaoyou to the west and Jiangdu to the south. Once Li Zitong is defeated and flees, this place must pass through.

    Mai Mengcai and Laizheng led more than 10,000 troops and went straight to Hailing City.

    In the battle of Yiling River, Li Zitong, who wanted to wait for work and reap the benefits, was defeated and suffered heavy losses.  Li Zitong was not very powerful among the bandits in the world. He occupied only two counties in Hailing and had little development potential.  Li Zitong was able to survive these years only because the Sui army had serious internal strife and had no time to take care of it.

    When the Sui army came to the city, Li Zitong's remaining soldiers in Hailing City were only five or six thousand, and they were all frightened and frightened people.

    Before the Sui army launched the attack, Ling Jing, who had followed the two men, wrote a letter to Li Zitong: "The heroes of ancient times were virtuous in fearing heaven and being obedient to the people, and they were wise in protecting their clan with all their bodies. Dou Rong of Han Dynasty,  Xiao Kui of the Sui Dynasty is like this. You should think twice and don't bring disaster upon yourself and make the world laugh."

    In fact, whether Li Zitong surrendered or fought did not have much impact on the entire war. With the combat power of the Sui army, it would not take much effort to fight.

    Ling Jing advocated persuading Li Zitong to surrender, mainly to delay time.

    Now that Yu Wenhua and his brothers are not going north, Huang Weiyang willUnable to move.

    Li Zitong has not yet reached the point of running out of ammunition and food, and still has hope, so of course he refuses to surrender.

    However, Li Zitong also knew very well that with just a few thousand of his men, it was unrealistic to block the huge Sui army, so he prepared to break out.

    In fact, if the Sui army had not arrived too quickly, Li Zitong would have left long ago.

    Li Zitong may not be a qualified military commander, but he is definitely a qualified hero, capable of bending and stretching, and daring to act. The only difference is his background and his ability.

    So after Li Zitong persuaded the Sui army to surrender, he sent someone to deliver a letter of surrender, while secretly preparing to break out.

    That night, Li Zitong gathered all the troops in the city and left the city through the north gate.  But after leaving the city, Li Zitong saw the Sui army camps outside the city. They were densely packed and orderly. At first glance, they were the main force.

    Li Zitong felt weak and did not dare to attack, so he turned to the east gate, preparing to break out of the encirclement eastward first and then go north.

    "It's a pity that Li Zitong's luck is really bad. There are not many defenders outside the east gate, but Li Zitong happened to encounter a patrolman.

    Seeing the bandits breaking through the city, Laizheng immediately led a patrol team and fought fiercely with the Chu army.

    The two sides fought fiercely for more than half an hour, with no winner or loser.  Although Laizheng did not defeat the opponent, he firmly held back the Chu army and prevented it from attacking.

    Not long after, Mai Mengcai's deputy general Qian Jie also came after hearing the inquiry and attacked Li Zitong's headquarters with him.

    Thousands of Li Zitong's people were crowded at the city gate and on both sides of the moat, unable to move forward or backward, so they were defeated.  The Chu army suffered heavy casualties, including sixty-seven out of ten who drowned.

    Li Zitong himself was frightened and fell off his horse, almost drowning.  The soldiers risked their lives to rescue him, carried him on a shoulder cart, and then fled back to the city.

    This failed breakout ultimately meant the failure of Li Zitong¡¯s plan.  Mi He

    And because of the breakout, the only elite group left in the city was also lost.  By this time, Li Zitong finally ran out of ammunition and food.

    At this time, counselor Mao Wenshen suggested that it would be better to surrender to the Sui army.

    Li Zitong thought about it, but in the current situation, there was no other way.  Li Zitong cherished his life and was not a leader who could fight to the death, so he finally agreed.

    Early the next morning, Li Zitong surrendered to the Sui army in Kaicheng
