- After Huang Mingliao found out that he had fallen into the trap, he rushed towards Lan Martial Arts. Although Huang Mingliao also knew in his heart that if the guess was true, Li Yuan might have left.
But if he didn¡¯t take this trip and find out Li Yuan¡¯s movements, he would not feel at ease.
Fortunately, at this time, the cavalry coming from Xinfeng also joined Huang Ming and Liao troops.
Thousands of fine cavalry usually live and die immediately. Without war horses, this battle would not have been fought.
Huang Mingliao also knew that the infantry's physical strength had reached its limit. So he ordered the infantry to stay in Bashang and rest on the spot, while Huang Mingliao led the cavalry to return to the Lantian camp.
As expected, everyone rushed to the Lanwu Road and finally found traces of a large number of Tang troops heading south.
This time the Tang army did not cover up, so the traces of the army's passage were clearly visible.
Huang Mingliao followed the traces of the Tang army going south until they arrived at the entrance of Kugu.
Looking at this mountain pass surrounded by water and land, Huang Mingliao guessed that this should be the newly discovered road of the Tang Army. I just don¡¯t know whether going south from here leads directly to Jinzhou, or to Hanzhong or Shangluo.
Not long after staying at this mountain pass, Huang Mingliao left some scouts to observe here, and ordered a cavalry group to intercept the remnants of the Tang army at Lanwu Road, while he led the main force back to Bashang.
The generals were a little puzzled. In order to catch up with Li Yuan, Huang Mingliao seemed to have been desperately moving back and forth. Now that Li Yuan was right in front of him, why didn't Huang Mingliao leave?
Huang Mingliao knew very well that if the cavalry entered the Qinling Mountains, it would be equivalent to completely giving up its strengths and focusing on the enemy's shortcomings.
When Li Yuan was defeated in this way, he was still able to design cleverly and rationally, which shows that he was not affected by the defeat. And wouldn't such a clear-minded and thoughtful person choose to fight an ambush in a favorable terrain to boost the morale of the army?
Huang Mingliao didn¡¯t dare to bet because he knew the probability was too high.
Even if he was not ambushed, Li Yuan had already entered the Qinling Mountains. It would be difficult to find him among the high mountains and dense forests. The Sui army was now seriously short of troops, and he could not use his limited troops on an almost impossible task.
Sometimes, admitting failure is also the right thing to do.
On the way back, Huang Mingliao sent people to Lantian Pass to notify Li Renzheng and Wei Wentong to take over Lantian County. Now that Li Yuan has escaped, the significance of Lantian Pass and even Shangluo County has been reduced to the minimum.
From Kugukou to Bashang, it is less than forty miles. Since there was no need to rush, the soldiers walked easily.
The army has been struggling for several days, and now it finally sees the light of day.
But Huang Mingliao had a gloomy look on his face.
Although after this battle, the overall situation in Guanzhong was basically settled, with Li Yuan gone, their results from this battle were instantly reduced by half. The land of Bashu, the land of abundance, has not been war-torn for many years, has a large population, and the conditions are no less than those in Guanzhong. It is simply a chosen land.
When Li Yuan arrived in Bashu, with the help of the Guanlong family, he could easily raise an army of more than 100,000, which could advance, attack, and retreat to defend.
And how could the Sui army have such a good opportunity to easily wipe out Li Tang.
"Today's loss will probably cost you a thousand or a hundred times tomorrow, and it won't be able to make up for it."
Huang Mingliao didn¡¯t know how to explain to his brother that he had entrusted him with such an important responsibility.
When the three armies arrived at Bashang, it was almost dark.
Before Huang Mingliao arrived at the camp, someone came from the camp to greet him. The person who came was none other than Shi Anmin, the military officer of the Youtun Guard Army. He sent Huang Mingliao a piece of important news.
Chang'an has been destroyed, and the Youtun Guards have taken over Chang'an.
That day, Zhang Wenyuan used fierce fire oil to severely damage the Tang army at the foot of Gaoling City. The Tang army, which originally held the belief that it would die, collapsed under the fierce attack of fierce fire oil and the Sui army's cavalry.
The Sui army took advantage of the situation and advanced, defeating the Tang army.
In this battle, Li Shuliang, the commander-in-chief of the Tang army, was captured. The rest of his troops fled or surrendered, and almost the entire army was wiped out.
Zhang Wenyuan's troops entered Gaoling City and did not care about entering the city, so he ordered Gao Yuanzhen to lead the Huwei Guards to continue besieging Gaoling City, while he led the main force of the Youtun Guard to cross the Wei River from the East Wei Bridge to prepare to support Huang Mingliao.
After crossing the Weishui River and heading south, near Chang'an City, Zhang Wenyuan encountered the messenger sent by Changsun Chang to Xinfeng.
Zhang Wenyuan was also shocked when he heard that Changsun Chang and Li Youliang had captured Chang'an together.
He was not familiar with either Changsun Chang or Li Youliang. Chang'an City fell into the hands of these two people. Regardless of whether they were righteous or not, the safety of Chang'an City was not guaranteed.
Before setting off for the expedition, Huang Mingyuan repeatedlyThe three places warned everyone to ensure the integrity of Chang'an City.
So Zhang Wenyuan ordered Yang Yiyan to lead the cavalry to continue rushing to Xinfeng for support, while he led the main force to Chang'an City.
Yang Yiyan marched westward and met Chai Shao's troops west of Xinfeng, who was pretending to be the main force.
When the two sides met, Chai Shao's troops were defeated in one attack, and more than a thousand soldiers and horses immediately fled in all directions. But Chai Shao did not fight to the death and turned over to the Loess Platform.
In this encounter, Chai Shao¡¯s entire army was wiped out. Only Chai Shao disguised himself and later fled to Chengdu.
Yang Yiyan arrived at Xinfeng and saw that the Shenwu Guards had ended the war, so he led his troops back to Chang'an.
When Zhang Wenyuan arrived at the gate of Chang'an City, he met Chang Sun Chang who came to greet him. When Chang Sun Chang explained the cause and effect of the matter one by one, Zhang Wenyuan was a little embarrassed.
The actual significance of this victory over Chang'an is not great, but the symbolic significance is huge.
Others don¡¯t know how many victories you have won in Guanzhong, but one victory over Chang¡¯an can overcome everything.
?????????????????????????????Although the city itself rebelled and surrendered in the matter of breaking Chang'an, the entire incident from beginning to end, whether it was sending troops or contacting, was the matter of the Shenwu Guards.
Youtunwei did nothing, but took the opportunity to enter Chang'an, which was a naked grab for credit.
The coach of Shenwuwei is no one else. Huang Mingliao is the younger brother of Duke Wei, and he is certain to be the prince of a country in the future. It is unwise to offend Huang Mingliao for something that is obviously wrong.
¡°And Zhang Wenyuan has already done enough, and he doesn¡¯t lack this one thing.
But it¡¯s not possible without entering Chang¡¯an. Chang¡¯an City is right there, and it can¡¯t always be in Li Youliang¡¯s hands.
Zhang Wenyuan thought about it and decided that the army would enter Chang'an, but he himself would not enter Chang'an.
So Zhang Wenyuan ordered Xin Wenli to lead more than 10,000 troops to garrison Chang'an City and take over the treasury, government offices, palaces and other important places. Zhang Wenyuan crossed Chang'an City and led his army westward to Fufeng County.
Zhang Wenyuan also sent a letter to Huang Mingliao, hoping that Huang Mingliao would come to take over Chang'an as soon as possible. And he ordered Xin Wenli to withdraw from Chang'an City and rush to Fufeng once the Shenwu Guards arrived and the handover was completed.
After receiving the news, Huang Mingliao was also a little moved.
Although it is true that the Shenwu Guards in Chang'an City turned against each other, on the battlefield, whoever encountered them took advantage, so how could there be so many causes and consequences.
Huang Mingliao also shares Zhang Wenyuan¡¯s sentiments.
After all, the casualties suffered by Shenwu were too great, and it was almost impossible to continue the fight.
So Huang Mingliao ordered that the main force of the Shenwu Guard be sent to Chang'an. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
