Huang Mingpu¡¯s 30,000 Sui troops were all elite troops who defeated Hebei. Among them, the number of cavalry was more than that of Li Jiancheng's army, which was not comparable to Dugu Huaien's.
Dugu Huaien looked at it from the opposite side and was frightened.
Although they, the Guanlong disciples, were descendants of generals and had rich family traditions, in fact, under Yang Guang's restrictions, they had never fought any battles, let alone commanded an army. Now he is in charge of the army, he looks decent, but in fact he is just a showman, far inferior to Huang Mingyuan's veteran soldiers who have lived through hundreds of battles.
Facing the Sui army¡¯s overwhelming murderous intent, Dugu Huaien became timid before fighting.
And although Dugu Huaien was determined to make a great contribution and show his face in front of the Guanlong family, many of his troops were private soldiers of the family, and he did not dare to die easily here.
No matter how important face is, it is still not as important as lining. If you lose face, who will give you face?
At this time, the general in the army, Dugu Dayi, was eager to try and requested to go to war, but Dugu Huaien said to his nephew Dugu Dayi: "Dayi, the Sui army is strong, so we should preserve our strength first."
Dugu Dayi is Dugu Lan's second son, who is serving as a general in Dugu Huai'en's army at this time. This army was originally raised by the Dugu clan. After that, Dugu Huaien continued to use his clan members and cronies as generals. Now this army has the surname Dugu.
Dugu Dayi is a kid who is brave when he is brave, but he is a little short-sighted. Can you take the family's core troops to confront Huang Mingpu's cavalry?
Dugu Dayi was a little puzzled, so he asked: "Uncle, did the prince say that our army only needs to block for an hour, and then the first victory will be achieved."
Dugu Huaien said disapprovingly: "You dare to believe what Li Jiancheng said. The Sui army is so fierce, how can it be stopped in an hour? Besides, who can guarantee that Li Jiancheng will be able to defeat Qu Tutong and return to our army within an hour. If the Dugu family All the old foundation is gone, what's the use of ten first achievements. You try your best to stop it, but it's really not possible. If you shrink your troops, no matter what, you have to keep the Dugu family's old foundation."
This is true whether it is the private soldiers of the Three Kingdoms, Two Jins, Southern and Northern Dynasties or the servants of the Ming Dynasty. These people are all carefully selected. In terms of combat ability, they are definitely not bad. However, they are too careful and put family interests above national interests. They are wise to protect themselves, so they often cause the strong to defeat the weak.
With Dugu Huaien's arrangement, his troops quickly retracted their defense lines and refused to resist the Sui army, and even seemed to be retreating.
The coach doesn¡¯t want to fight, so how can the soldiers fight tooth and nail?
Soon, Dugu Huaien's troops on the right were overwhelmed by the Sui cavalry. The front line was wide open. The Sui cavalry rushed all the way and half surrounded Dugu Huaien's troops from the flanks. They also penetrated the enemy formation and pointed directly at Li Jiancheng's center. military.
Li Jiancheng sent out all the troops, and there were not many troops around him.
Seeing this, Quan Xu no longer cared about Dugu's gratitude, and led his team towards Li Jiancheng.
If Li Jiancheng could be captured or killed, the entire Guanzhong would be shocked.
Li Jiancheng never thought that Dugu Huaien could turn the tide, create miracles, and defeat Huang Mingpu, but in his opinion, Dugu Huaien should be able to buy him an hour.
It¡¯s a pity that he looked down on the other party.
The situation is changing so fast that it¡¯s overwhelming. The Tang army was advancing with great success just now, but now the Sui army was inserted into the middle army to capture the king.
Liu Wenjing, who was in the Chinese army, saw that the situation was not right, and dragged Li Jiancheng to withdraw from the city.
If anything happens to anyone, nothing will happen to Li Jiancheng.
Of course Li Jiancheng doesn¡¯t want to. If he withdraws, he will never win the battle.
He is unwilling to do so.
At this time, Liu Wenjing said: "Your Majesty, at this time, it is nonsense to talk about victory. The most important thing now is to stop losses in time. Once the entire army collapses, Yongfengcang will not be able to save it."
Li Jiancheng looked livid and finally ordered a retreat.
Before retreating to the city, Li Jiancheng also ordered Wang Changxie to lead the army behind the palace and Lu Shaozong to retreat into the city.
ãá 75 zw.com ãá. As for Dugu Huaien, he didn't want to mention it. Even a pig can do better than Dugu Huaien.
Li Jiancheng retreated, leaving Wang Changxie and Lu Shaozong who were a little confused. Why did the battle end like this?
But the two of them were immediately more shocked.
Qu Tutong on the opposite side raised a banner and ordered the entire army to attack.
牺 如   b x w . c   牺 ㉲ 。 was pressed and beaten the right Xiao Guard, and finally began to fight back.
This battle is one of a series of plans of the Sui army. The plan to defeat the enemy officially started before the attack yesterday, but today's battle, at least this battle, was different from the original plan.??.
The original plan was that after Qu Tutong surrounded Yongfengcang, he would launch the trap strategy, not fight with the Tang army, dig deep trenches, build high earth walls, trap Li Jiancheng in Yongfengcang, and prevent him from leaving.
But when it came time to implement it, Qu Tutong did not agree to implement it exactly as planned.
Li Jiancheng has 50,000 troops. If the opponent is determined to break through, it will be difficult to completely retain them. Or maybe they huddled in the city and did not engage in a direct battle with the Sui army, but instead continued to harass them.
These are all problems.
Therefore, if you want to completely trap the opponent, you must first defeat his army and lose his spirit before you can talk about siege.
"However, Li Jiancheng's military quality is good, and Liu Wenjing is there to make suggestions. It will not be easy to defeat his troops.
Therefore, Qu Tutong believed that Li Jiancheng must be given enough interest temptations to make him have to give it a try, so that the battle can be completely fought instead of fleeing or defending.
So Qu Tutong divided his army into two and set up strongholds in two places. He continued to show weakness during the battle, and even allowed the Tang army to attack his own central army, creating the illusion that the army was about to be defeated. This led to Li Jiancheng having to press the entire army, and eventually caused a melee among the entire army.
Between Qu Tutong and Huang Mingpu, Qu Tutong couldn't let the other party lure the enemy, so he went up himself.
As for whether Huang Mingpu can defeat Dugu Huaien, Qu Tutong is not worried. The cavalry of Huang Mingpu's army exceeds that of Li Jiancheng's army. If he cannot defeat the enemy, he will become a pig.
I just didn¡¯t expect it to go so smoothly.
In fact, the same was true for Li Tang in history. In the early stage, Li Yuanji, Li Shentong, Dugu Huaien, Li Xiaoji, Jiang Baoyi, and Yu Yun, the Li Tang clan and Guanlong generals, all had more famous names than anyone else, but they also suffered repeated defeats. It was not until Li Shimin defeated the Western Qin Dynasty, established a powerful cavalry, and surrendered a large number of good generals from Liu Wuzhou, Wagang and other places that he was able to unify the world.
At this time, the Guanlong family is powerful in its resources, connections, and reputation. As for the generals' combat capabilities, especially those of middle and high-level generals, they are really average.
"What kind of abilities do you expect from a group of people who haven't fought in more than ten years?"
This battle has reached this level, and there is no suspense anymore.
Mi He Mi. The Sui army pursued them all the way to the bottom of Yongfengcang City. The Tang army suffered countless casualties.
After the war, Li Jiancheng counted the casualties and found that the entire army suffered losses of 40 to 50%. The defeat was horrific. Looking at the mess on the battlefield and the embarrassment of the Tang army, Li Jiancheng couldn't help crying with distress.
