Chapter 1273

That night in Luoyang City, Huangfu Chaobo was in the palace to deal with government affairs. When he was about to return to the palace for a rest, he suddenly reported that Shi a was outside for a meeting. Huangfu Chaobo Shi a Lian must have something to do with his night meeting, so he announced it into the Palace.

"My minister Shi ah, meet the king!"

"Up! The general asked all night, but what's the matter? "

"Back to the king, Hedong Zhang turned to the County Memorial pigeon letter."

Huangfu Chaobo was stunned. Didn't he say that the Yellow River is in flood season, and that the two sides have broken off contact?

Shi a seems to have seen Huangfu Chaobo's doubts, and quickly introduces the flying rope between Hukou town and caisangjin to Huangfu Chaobo. Huangfu Chaobo hears the words and smiles. Isn't this the usual way for people in remote mountainous areas to cross the river? However, the rope and iron rope in the game can't reach the level of reality, so it's a good idea for them to use this to deliver messages.

After receiving the pigeon letter from Shi a, Huangfu Chaobo finished reading these lines. It turned out that he had captured dingyang City, and then asked for help and some subsequent arrangements. After carefully reading Tian Yu's arrangement, he thought about it, and then wrote down the word "agree". Then he stamped his seal on it and handed it to Shi A: "send this pigeon letter directly to the river East bar, please send this to Shangjun as soon as possible. "

……

Different from Huangfu's happiness, Tian Yu's face was already covered with frost and water in dingyang city at this time. Although he repeatedly reminded him, Hua Xiong was still in ambush. Ten thousand Xiliang iron cavalry lost more than 2000. Although the Allied forces lost more than 2000 cavalry and soldiers, the fact of ambush was not allowed to be ignored.

Originally, according to Tian Yu's arrangement, Hua Xiong only needs to follow the coalition forces safely, look at the right time, bite from time to time, so that the retreating coalition forces can not easily retreat. After ten thousand soldiers who are brave enough to catch up, they will surely be able to make another big piece of meat fall from the coalition forces.

Maybe it was too long. After leading the cavalry to set out, Hua Xiong wanted to catch up with the retreating coalition forces quickly. Coupled with the terrain of the county, there were too many places to ambush. After several places that were easy to ambush, Hua Xiong finally drifted away and led the cavalry all the way.

At last, he was ambushed by nine thousand soldiers and seven thousand cavalry of Xu Huang, Liu Bao and Jiang Jian. Ten thousand Xiliang cavalry were divided into two parts. Fortunately, Hua Xiong was also a valiant general in the army. In addition, he was good at cavalry, so he quickly reflected that after a big war between the two sides, Hua Xiong rushed out of the ambush of the Allied forces with the loss of two thousand Xiliang cavalry, and the Allied forces also suffered losses Lost 1000 cavalry and more than 2000 soldiers.

Although on the surface, Hua Xiong still took advantage, after all, the Allied forces lost more. But if Hua Xiong could follow Tian Yu's advice and act cautiously, there would not be much loss at all.

To Tian Yu's relief, Hua Xiong finally calmed down after a middle ambush. He did not underestimate the enemy's rash advance any more. On the one hand, he sent someone to report to the enemy behind him, and on the other hand, he sent someone back to dingyang to plead guilty. On the other hand, he led the remaining 7000 Xiliang cavalry, like maggots attached to bones, to follow closely behind the Allied forces, and from time to time, he rushed up and hissed. Once he got it, he did not want to fight, Direct retreat.

As soon as Huaxiong changed his playing style, Xu Huang felt a little tricky. Fortunately, Xu Huang's goal was just to buy time for the logistics team, so the two families dragged on until the next day, when ten thousand soldiers who were involved in dare also arrived to join Huaxiong's army. At this time, it was not more than 40 miles away from gaonu City, and the next 40 miles was between dingyang and gaonu The narrowest section of the official road.

Seeing this, Huaxiong and Shegan had to stop their pursuit and watch Xu Huang lead the army to retreat into the barracks that had been built long ago.

Of course, along the way, Xu Huang's coalition forces lost a lot. With Hua Xiong's constant cannibalism, only 5000 cavalry and 6000 troopers were able to evacuate safely, which is equivalent to the loss of 3000 troopers and nearly 2000 troopers. Fortunately, more than 10000 craftsmen and their families have retreated first and safely, with little loss.

In addition to 2000 casualties in the first ambush, the Tang army suffered less than 200 cavalry losses. Seeing this result, Hua Xiong was once again ashamed that he had underestimated the enemy's rash advance. Without his light knowledge, the loss of the Tang army would have been reduced by at least half.

The army set up a camp ten miles to the east of the coalition camp, and then waited for Tian Yu to join the army.

In the afternoon of the next day, the army that carried the food and materials had arrived, Pang Tong also came with the army, and Tian Yu needed to arrange dingyang's affairs before coming. Now Fu Yang and Yang Gan became temporary county magistrate and county captain of dingyang respectively, and the soldiers who lost in each army had been supplemented according to Tian Yu's idea. Today's dingyang City, though it is Yang Daren's temporary county officer also controlled 2000 soldiers in his hands, but his subordinates were basically scattered among the Tang army's departments, which was a kind of defense for him, but Yang didn't care about it.

After Pang Tong arrived, he ordered to launch an attack on the camp of the alliance. Facing the attack of the Tang army, the camp of the alliance was broken after only one day. The alliance again withdrew gaonu overnight. Then, the Tang army continued to advance steadily. Finally, on the 20th, the army arrived at gaonu city.At this time, in addition to the 5000 soldiers and 4000 cavalry who returned to gaonu City, there were also 2000 guards who were originally left in gaonu city by Jiangshan and 5000 new soldiers recruited a few days ago, with a total of 16000 troops. There were only five thousand soldiers returned to the city. The reason was that xiongba had led his thousand soldiers to the South and returned to Diaoyin city. In addition to all the soldiers, there were also 10000 guards and 10000 craftsmen outside the city.

Tian Yu, who arrived at gaonu, did not immediately attack gaonu. Instead, he ordered that she Gan lead 10000 soldiers, 5000 guards, 5000 men, and 2000 Xiliang cavalry to the south of Diaoyin city. And Tian Yu himself led the remaining troops to stay under gaonu City, ready to attack the city.

At the head of gaonu City, watching the army of Tang divide more than 20000 troops and horses to the south, Jiangshan and the rest of the army shake their heads helplessly: "the army of Tang is really divided!"

Fazheng knew this very well. In his opinion, as long as the chief General of the Tang army was not stupid, he would definitely divide his troops to attack Diaoyin first to solve the threat behind him, and then attack gaonu.

It's just Diaoyin city. Jiangshan is the only one left among the three families in Shangjun. It's not good news for Jiangshan, but they are powerless. The strength of the two families is too different. Gaonu city is in a dilemma to protect itself, and it's even more impossible to send troops to help Diaoyin.

What Jiangshan is thinking now is that he hopes to be able to support for a longer time under the attack of the Tang army. Then the princes around the Tang army suddenly make some moves and force the Tang army to withdraw. But this hope is too slim.
