Chapter 2309: Pacifying Jingnan (Part 2)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Ou Yan sent people to attack Changsha, while the main force was placed in the south.

    The Xiangshui River is regarded as the mother river of the entire Jingnan. It originates from the Five Ridges, flows from south to north, and flows into Dongting Lake.  In Tanzhou, between Xiangtan and Zhuzhou in later generations, the Xiangshui River made two turns, first to the west and then to the north, causing a section of the Xiangshui River to flow east-west.

    Ou Yan¡¯s gaze is right here.

    A Xiang River surrounds this area with two sides of a triangle, and the remaining side is a mountain ridge. The two sides can form a natural enclosed area.

    Soon, after Li Chen received the news from He Ruohuaiguang asking for help, he led eight thousand Tang troops to rush from Hengzhou.

    This time Li Chen went south, bringing with him 3,000 veterans and 5,000 surrender troops.  Eight thousand troops can completely sweep across all states in the sparsely populated Jingnan.

    Li Chen thought that the Sui army would come, but he never thought it would be so soon.

    And Li Chen didn¡¯t know much about the terrain of Jingnan. In his opinion, Jingnan and the counties in Yuzhang were separated by mountains, so the Northern Sui army from Yuzhang could not have flown over.

    But no matter how suspicious he was, he had no choice but to go north with all his strength.  He knew very well that the two thousand veterans in He Ruohuaiguang's hands would not be able to defend Changsha City anyway, and the loss of Changsha City meant that half of Jingnan was lost.

    It has to be said that neither Li Chen nor He Ruohuaiguang regarded the tens of thousands of Liang Jun soldiers who surrendered as a serious army, and they did not take them with them when calculating their combat power.

    Li Chen led his troops to gallop all the way and soon arrived at the battlefield set by Ou Yan.

    Logically speaking, bridges can be built over large rivers, as long as they are not the Yangtze River, and at worst they are temporary floating bridges.  It's just that Jingnan is too remote now, and no one has the time or money to build a bridge in Jingnan.

    So Li Chen¡¯s troops had no choice but to recruit nearby ferries to cross the river.

    &#24378 &#29306 &#32 &#32 &#35835 &#29306 &#12290 Due to the small ship, the river is too slow, so Li Chen ordered the three armies to be stationed on the north of Hebei.

    At this time, the Sui army was not far away from Li Chen's tribe, and Ou Yan personally brought more than ten people to observe.

    Seeing that there were endless ships coming and going on the river, the entire Tang army was defenseless.  Zhu Hui, a general in charge of the position, suggested that Ou Yan launch an attack immediately and strike with a half-passage.

    Ou Yan refused.

    Ou Yan had already planned in his heart. If he attacked halfway across the river, he would indeed be able to defeat the Tang army, but he would not be able to completely annihilate them. The Tang army on the other side of the river would have to flee.

    After most of the day, in the evening, the Tang army had completely crossed the Xiangshui River.

    Seeing that it was getting dark, although Li Chen was worried, he still ordered to camp where he was and wait until tomorrow before heading north again.

    At this time, the Sui army, which had been lurking in the mountains to the northeast, began to move.  This curved Xiangshui River had to change course because of this mountain range.  And this mountain range perfectly blocked the protruding gap.

    At this moment 7 5zw.com Zhang Si.  Soon, the Sui army launched a fierce attack on the Tang army's camp.  The Sui army consisted of troops directly under the Right Guards, the Sixty-first Army and Jiangzhou County soldiers, with about 13,000 people, almost twice as many as the Tang army.

    Under the fierce attack of the Sui army's cavalry and infantry, the Tang army was defeated and immediately dispersed. The Tang army fled in all directions, and many people turned over and ran directly to the Xiang River behind them.

    How many people drowned due to the obstruction of the Xiang River.

    Ou Yan controlled the rhythm of the Tang army, constantly attacking, but never killing him with one blow.

    Li Chen was suddenly attacked and was in a panic at first.  But as the battle continued, he gradually settled down.  Li Chen knew very well that with his small number of troops, it would be difficult to break through the encirclement, but it was better to fight with all his strength, hold on to the camp, and wait for rescue.

    Li Chen sent people to cross the Xiang River and detoured back to Changsha from the west to ask for help.

    It soon became dark, and seeing that the Tang army had not yet captured it, Ou Yan suddenly ordered to stop the attack and fight again tomorrow.

    The generals were even more puzzled.

    In the past, when the Tang army was halfway across the border and attacking, it was easy to fight but not to fight. When the Tang army was resting, it was easy to fight but not to fight. However, after the Tang army set up camp, it was not easy to fight and instead fought again, which only increased the difficulty.  Now that the Tang army was dispersed, it was time to pursue the victory, but suddenly they stopped fighting. I really don¡¯t know what the coach was thinking.

    Ou Yan knew everyone was suspicious, but didn't say much.

    Ou Yan¡¯s policy seems to be aimed at Changsha City, but in fact it is aimed at Li Chen¡¯s tribe; it seems to be aimed at Li Chen¡¯s tribe, but in fact it is Changsha City.  The ultimate goal was to transfer both Li Chen and He Ruohuaiguang out of the city to fight with him in the field.

    If the Tang army was not allowed to complete their camp, how could Li Chen choose to hold on?  And if Li Chen didn't hold on, how could he attract the Tang army from Changsha City to rescue him.

     Ou Yan stopped attacking now to give Li Chen a chance to ask for help.  He was really afraid of beating Li Chen to death. If He Huaiguang stopped coming, it would be troublesome.

    That night Ou Yan left Zhu Hui and his 61st Army stationed in place, while he led his army north to attack He Ruohuaiguang.

    Zhang Guanzhi led more than a thousand Sui troops to wander around Changsha City for two days, just showing off and not attacking at all.  After He Ruohuaiguang calmed down, he also discovered something was fishy, ??but he was a little confused about the Sui army's intentions.

    Soon Zhang Guanzhi led his troops to withdraw, as if they had never been there, leaving He Ruohuaiguang even more confused about the other party's intentions.

    It wasn¡¯t until Li Chen¡¯s letter asking for help arrived in Changsha City that He Ruohuaiguang fully understood that the Sui army¡¯s attack on Changsha City was a lie and the ambush of Li Chen was real.  The reason why the other party sent these more than a thousand people to harass the city of Changsha was just to attract their own attention and make Li Chen come to rescue.

    The Sui army used Changsha City as bait.

    He Ruohuaiguang was ashamed and annoyed. After fighting all his life, a house bird pecked his eyes.

    He Ruohuaiguang was angry and prepared to rescue Li Chen.  Although Changsha City is important, nothing can happen to Li Chen.  If Li Yuan really knew that it was because of his wrong judgment that Li Chen was surrounded or even annihilated, he would probably suffer no good consequences.  The He Ruo family had been in decline for ten years and finally recovered, but it did not have the strength to compete with Li Yuan.

    So He Ruohuaiguang decided to personally lead 1,500 Tang troops, plus 5,000 Liang troops to surrender, to form an army as a rescue force.  As for Changsha City, there are only more than 3,000 people left.

    This move almost completely exhausted the defense of Changsha City.

    Yang Junmao, the surrendered general of the Liang Army, objected to the main force being sent out. After all, although the Sui Army left, it might not regret it. We should beware that the Northern Sui Army's move was to divert the tiger away from the mountain.

    But Yang Junmao¡¯s suggestion was immediately dismissed by He Ruohuaiguang.

    " He Ruohuaiguang didn't even look at Yang Junmao. He has been fighting for many years and has rich experience, and he used you as a surrendered general to remind him.  Therefore, He Ruohuaiguang ignored him and let him go down directly.

    As for Yang Junmao¡¯s suggestion, no one mentioned it.

    Control the big one and control the owl.  Yang Junmao felt ashamed when he saw He Ruohuaiguang's attitude.  He was also considered a capable general under Dong Jingzhen and had a high prestige, but to be humiliated like this by He Ruohuaiguang was really intolerable.

    Of course, He Ruohuaiguang didn't know what Yang Junmao was thinking, and he didn't care. He was a reduced general, a figure not worth mentioning.

    Soon He Ruohuaiguang led the army to leave Changsha City and headed south
