- After Song Zhengben and Su Lie received their orders, they headed to Jiazhou.
The two of them went almost alone, with only hundreds of people around them.
Although Su Lie has become the commander of the Fenwei Army, the Fenwei Army has not yet been reorganized. With nearly 30,000 troops, it is not easy to eliminate nearly 10,000 people. Moreover, after the disarmament, the troops will have to be reorganized. It will take at least a month for the troops to exert their combat effectiveness.
Song Zhengben and Su Lie had no choice. They had no direct lineage and could not fight at all. They had no choice but to ask Huang Weiyang to send another army.
At this time, Huang Weiyang did not have any extra troops.
Fenwei Army and Zhenwei Army must be reorganized. The right Jingwei is in northern Sichuan, the left guard leads a battalion to protect Chengdu, and the right Xiaowei is in Bazhou. However, the newly attached troops cannot be completely trusted.
For a while, Huang Weiyang really had no available soldiers for Song Zhengben and Su Lie.
But Huang Weiyang also knew that it would be difficult to defeat Li Shimin with only 20,000 native soldiers and a right guard leading a battalion. In the end, Huang Weiyang had no choice but to transfer the 55th Youxiao Guard Army guarding Luzhou and the 48th Youjing Guard Army guarding Brazil to the two, and also allocated 3,000 naval troops to the two. As for the important area of ??Luzhou, it can only be left to the naval garrison.
Su Lie and Song Zhengben arrived at Hongya on December 21. At this time, Yang Hongli and Gao Shilian had already led 20,000 Lingnan native troops to station here.
However, the morale of the Lingnan soldiers was not high.
On the one hand, the departure of the main force made them feel a little sad, on the other hand, fighting in winter was not friendly to them. Just like the Hu people who are afraid of heat, the Lingnan native soldiers are also afraid of cold.
"Furthermore, Su Lie and Song Zhengben were considered paratroopers, and Yang Hongli was superior to Su Lie in terms of qualifications and status, which even caused dissatisfaction among some Lingnan generals.
Fortunately, Yang Hongli knew that the two were close confidants of His Highness the Crown Prince, and his attitude towards them was quite friendly.
"However, these local soldiers only obeyed Yang Hongli's orders. There was a general manager and a deputy general manager. They didn't even have any troops to command. It was a strange thing.
It was not until the 56th Army came upstream from Luzhou that the embarrassment between the two was relieved.
The days are passing by, and the Chinese New Year is almost here. People's thoughts return, and Su Lie doesn't dare to delay. Seeing that the 48th Army was far away and he didn't know when it would arrive, he decided not to wait any longer and attack first.
Su Lie placed the breakthrough point of this battle on Hong Ya's front line.
Although the terrain in this area is complex, with high mountains and dangerous beaches. However, compared with the complex terrain in the north, as long as the Ming army broke through Caoyu Beach, they could follow the south bank of Qingyi River and enter the hinterland of Yazhou. Moreover, the Ming army could also give full play to its naval advantages. The hilly land to the north seems relatively flat, but the roads are changeable and the terrain is rugged, making it easy for Li Shimin to take advantage of it.
At this time, after the right guard led his battalion to Baizhang County, he did not dare to go south rashly and had to keep testing the Tang army. However, the reaction of the Tang army was very strong. Cheng Minzhen sent many scout teams, but they all suffered heavy losses and returned without success.
On December 26, the Ming army launched an attack on Caoyutan.
The Tang army deployed 5,000 men on the Caoyutan frontline and more than 10,000 men in Mingshan County to guard various passes to block the Ming army.
The general of the Tang army stationed at Caoyutan was Quan Hongshou. He moved his defense line back from the protruding Caoyu Beach and retreated directly to the entrance of Caoyu Beach.
??The north side of here is Qingyi Water, and the south side is the cliff. It can be said that one man is in charge and no one can open it.
And the distance from Caoyutanli to the entrance of Caoyutan is only five or six miles, but the roads are all trails along the mountains and rivers, making it extremely difficult to walk.
Su Lie also attacked step by step from the beginning.
But before the Ming army had advanced far, a large number of Tang army ambushes appeared on the south side of the mountain. The Ming army at the foot of the mountain was struck with a rain of huge rocks and bows and crossbows.
The mountain was steep, and the Ming army had no way to escape on the narrow road, and soon suffered heavy casualties.
Seeing this, Su Lie immediately ordered the front troops to retreat.
With this kind of fighting method, even if the Ming army is exhausted, it is impossible to pass smoothly.
After the entire army retreated, Su Lie asked the army to temporarily station at the entrance of Caoyu Beach, waiting for the scouts' reconnaissance information.
When the scouts reported back, they found that the Tang army on the opposite side had no navy troops, but Su Lie had a plan to defeat the enemy.
The Tang army retreated from Caoyu Beach to the entrance of Caoyu Beach to set up defenses. It has to be said that this was both a right and a wrong decision.
Of course, the mouth of Caoyu Beach is a dangerous place. The five or six miles of dangerous road alone is a natural chasm. But if we want to completely block this place, we still need the help of a navy army.
Because the mouth of Caoyu Beach is sunken to the south, the Qingyi water here is four to five hundred paces wide. With this long distance, it is impossible to completely block the Qingyi Water just by relying on crossbows and slings.
And the area around Caoyu Beach is backed byAlthough the terrain of the mountains appears to be somewhat flat, the Qingyi River narrows here, and the widest point is only about a hundred steps away. By placing an arrow tower on each side of the bank, the river can be completely blocked.
¡°Perhaps Quan Hongshou was worried that he could not afford the fierce battle in Caoyu Beach, or perhaps he did not expect that the Ming army would have naval forces participating in the battle. Anyway, that was the arrangement.
After Su Lie found out about this, he immediately sent people to mobilize fifty small and medium-sized ships, with thirty soldiers on each ship to form a commando team.
At night, Su Lie ordered the commando to board the ship and set off, heading west against the Qingyi River.
It was already the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, and the moon was already waning and would not appear until dawn. So it was dark and visibility was very low along the way.
Everyone mustered up their strength and rowed forward desperately.
The people in charge of steering the ship are all elite sailors of the navy, and sailing a ship at night is a basic skill.
¡°Perhaps the Tang army felt that their defense line was already seamless, so they were unaware of the situation on the water.
Everyone headed west smoothly and soon landed at Wucunba west of the entrance of Caoyu Beach.
Wucunba is a relatively large piece of flat land at the entrance of Caoyu Beach. This place is less than two miles away from the entrance of Caoyu Beach. The Ming army landed in large numbers, and the Tang army discovered it even though they were unprepared.
At this time, Quan Hongshou, who was at the entrance of Caoyu Beach, was shocked when he heard the Ming army coming out from behind. He really didn't realize how the Ming army appeared behind him. It wasn't until he vaguely saw many ships through the night that Quan Hongshou suddenly realized and regretted it.
But it¡¯s too late to regret it now.
After the Ming army landed, they established a beachhead at Wucunba.
Seeing that the Tang army began to counterattack, the Ming army lit a fire at Wucunba and sent a message to the main force of the Sui army.
When Su Lie, who was far away in Caoyu Beach, saw this, he immediately ordered all the 55th Army to board the ship, go upstream, follow the gap opened by the commando team, and go straight to the entrance of Caoyu Beach.
The effect is indeed obvious.
The Tang army's defense mainly relied on terrain, and its troops were not large. Quan Hongshou wanted to set up defenses not only on the mountains, but also on several passes of Caoyu Mountain. There were only more than two thousand troops stationed at the entrance of Caoyu Beach.
And they had no strong city to rely on, and they could not drive the Ming army that had landed into the water.
As the number of Ming troops increased, Caoyutankou was almost surrounded.
Quan Hongshou knew that the battle had been lost and that any further fight would only result in the annihilation of the entire army, so he had no choice but to order the entire army to break out
