Chapter 132 Eighty Thousand Tang Army(1/2)
In Fenghuang Town, teams of Tang troops arrived, flags blocking the sky.
Countless businessmen and civilians followed the Tang army to Fenghuang Town and forcibly upgraded the town to a second-level town.
Eighty thousand Tang troops gathered, and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang transferred the main force of the Tang army to the eastern front to suppress the rising Zhang Hua.
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was to defeat the forces that threatened the Tang Dynasty and suppress them before Zhang Hua fully rose.
The 80,000 well-equipped Tang army was in any ancient dynasty, and they were all destroyed by the national level.
There were at least 100,000 merchants who came with the Tang army.
The second-level town of Phoenix Town gathered 200,000 people in order to destroy the Zhang Hua power in the east.
"It's worthy of being Your Majesty, I will use the 80,000 army directly."
Qi Bi Heli didn't expect that the young Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was so courageous.
Eighty thousand Tang troops were enough to wipe out Huayin and approach the two counties of Jin.
Moreover, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang sent more than a dozen Tang army generals to join forces with Qi Bi Heli.
The Eastern Front battlefield became the main attack direction of the Tang army.
"Liu Yuan of the Huns and Han Dynasty had tens of thousands of Huns cavalry, and he was also a big force in the eastern part of Qinchuan. Why did he make such a low mistake and be defeated by the opponent with a few soldiers?"
"Liu Yuan underestimated the enemy too much, so he was defeated. Our Majesty is far better than Liu Yuan. He was too steady and even used 80,000 troops. In my opinion, only 50,000 troops would be enough to wipe out the eastern part of Qinchuan."
"What's the difference between you underestimating the enemy like this and Liu Yuan? Since the national strength of our Tang Dynasty is stronger than that of the other party, then it's just a direct crush! No one cares about us bullying the few with the success and the king! "
"When all the food, grass and supplies are in place, send troops to attack Huayin."
More than a dozen Tang army generals had different temperaments. After a simple dispute, they determined the time to send troops.
The Tang Dynasty had 80,000 soldiers approaching the border, and Zhang Hua encountered the biggest crisis since the strategy of Guanzhong.
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was clear-headed. Whether it was Zhang Hua, Yuan Shu, or Liu Yuan, he did not allow any force to rise and become the overlord in the east. That would challenge Emperor Xuanzong of Tang's overlord status.
Once a threat occurs, 80,000 Tang troops will directly face the border and destroy it.
The Tang army has strong national strength and is so domineering.
Dozens of forces of all sizes around the Tang Dynasty were already destroyed by the Tang army.
Huashan Town, Deng Ai, Zhao Ponu, Wang Ping and Tian Rui four generals organized civilians from Huashan Town to leave the place, and then urged craftsmen to build a large number of arrow towers and thicken the city walls.
Deng Ai also deployed a large number of bed crossbows on the city wall to strengthen city defense.
Deng Ai and others heard that 80,000 Tang troops gathered in Fenghuang Town and looked pale.
They had fought with the Tang army twice before, but the losses were greater than those of the Tang army.
It is quite difficult to defeat the 80,000 Tang troops.
Deng Ai couldn't even see hope.
If Heluo's troops are also drawn, there may be hope.
However, with Huayin, a population of 800,000, and the two counties of Jin, it is no different to hell to block 80,000 Tang troops.
"I have suggested that the lord move 800,000 Qinchuan people to Heluo. In this way, even if we lose Huayin and Linjin counties, it is actually okay. Heluo is more than enough to support a million people."
"What do you say about the lord?"
"The lord still insists on sticking to it."
Deng Ai shook his head.
He believes that the best strategy is to give up the land in Qinchuan and take away the most important population.
In the Battle of Hanzhong, Cao Cao also took away the population of Hanzhong. Although he lost to Liu Bei, he still gained something.
"Since that's the case, we have to stick to it."
It doesn’t matter to Zhao Ponu.
Zhang Hua recruited the Huns and Han surrendered soldiers, with a force of 780,000. It was not that easy for the Tang army to destroy Zhang Hua's power in Guanzhong.
"The Tang Dynasty gathered 80,000 Tang troops in Fenghuang Town. It seems that I was targeted by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang."
Zhang Hua returned to Dazhong Town, commanded the troops and resisted the 80,000 Tang troops.
The oppression brought by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was extremely strong, and Zhang Hua was unsure.
So Zhang Hua asked Yan Xiang to use divination techniques to calculate the good and bad luck, and the hexagram is bad, but there are also variables.
Zhang Hua is fighting for a glimmer of hope.
If the Tang army withdrew from Guanzhong and set up Tongguan in Huayin County, then Zhang Hua would inevitably have many difficulties in entering Guanzhong in the future.
Li Ji stared at the topographic map of Qinchuan and looked carefully for three days and three nights, but he could not find a way to defeat the 80,000 Tang troops.
It is not uncommon to defeat the more with the few and defeat the strong with the weak, but the premise is based on the fact that the main generals of both sides are too large.
The 80,000 generals of the Tang army were no less powerful than Zhang Hua's lineup to attack Qin Chuan.
After watching it for three days and three nights, Li Ji suddenly realized: "If we could block the 80,000 Tang troops, the forces around the Tang Dynasty would never sit idly by. If the Tang army destroyed us, there would be three million people. I don't believe that other forces can stand by and watch!"
"It's really unsettling to hand over luck to someone else's hands."
Zhang Hua recognized Li Ji's judgment and was betting that other forces would intervene in this war.
The 800-mile Qinchuan heroes were divided, not independent individuals, and various forces influenced each other.
Shortly after Zhang Hua conquered the Huns and Han Kingdom, the Tang army began to assemble and attack Zhang Hua.
If Zhang Hua blocked the 80,000 Tang troops, he would probably intervene in the battle.
This is the only way to win pointed out by Li Ji.
"We are on the east side of the Tang Dynasty, Qin Xiaogong to the west, and..."
Zhang Hua moved his finger to the forces north of the Tang Dynasty.
There were several powerful forces around the Tang Dynasty, among which the lord of the northern forces was named An Yue, and there were many cavalry under his command, which was one of the powerful enemies of the Tang army.
"Have you ever heard of this person?"
Zhang Hua looked at Li Ji, Chen Gong and others, and the latter all shook their heads.
Yan Xiang inferred: "Maybe it was the bandit or powerful man of which period, because of his great luck, that he became one of the overlords."
It is indeed not impossible.
The characters recorded in historical books are only the best in all dynasties, and there are tens of thousands of real local tyrants.
It is not impossible if someone is lucky enough to establish a territory and develop it into a large force with a population of hundreds of thousands and millions.
Zhang Hua is the representative figure among them, making money from nothing and becoming one of the major forces.
Mulan interrupted: "This person's origin is unknown, he lives in simplicity, and only his confidant can get close to him. Our detailed works cannot reach this person."
Zhang Hua frowned.
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Duke Xiao of Qin were both ruthless characters, and An Yue seemed to be a landlord from which dynasty, and his origin was unknown.
"Send envoys to visit Qin Xiaogong and An Yue, lobbying them to send troops."
Zhang Hua took the initiative to send people to form an alliance with two other powerful forces.
Prince Fusu and Meng Tian were once an ally of Zhang Hua. Now they defect to Qin Xiaogong, and the two sides have a basis for negotiation.
On the other side of Heluo, Zhang Hua almost entrusted Fan Zhongyan with his management, focusing on the strategy of Guanzhong.
Heluo is the political center of the future, so Zhang Hua did not relax.
According to Fan Zhongyan, Nurhaci and Emperor Chongzhen fought for 60 days, and fought dozens of battles in all sizes and large numbers, and transferred troops to attack Hulao Pass, so the pressure from the direction of Hulao Pass disappeared.
In the north, Sun Ce defeated the fourth place of the Mongolian Empire, Qixue Changchi, Lao Wen, and expanded his power to the southern foot of the Taihang Mountains and along the Taihang Mountains.
Sun Ce has no intention of going south for the time being.
In the south, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's peasant army was still fighting with the three Tang Dynasty military governors. The Rushui River Basin was in constant war, and the people's hearts were declining in various places, so that more and more villages broke out in peasant uprisings, bringing into Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprisings, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprisings became stronger, and the coalition forces formed by the three Tang Dynasty military governors could not suppress Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprisings.
Wang Feng continued to fight bravely in Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's army and became the commander of Chen Sheng's army.
The Xiong Qu army recruited by Xia Town finally came out. The residents of Xia Town saw a group of cavalry riding giant bears heading towards Guanzhong, and were stunned. Many children in Xia Town were frightened by the group of giant bear cavalry and cried loudly.
Fan Zhongyan trained high-level troops in the rear to provide supplies to Zhang Hua who was entering Guanzhong.
Zhang Hua also built high-level military camps in Huayin and Linjin counties to replenish the military sources on the spot.
During the assembly of 80,000 Tang troops, Zhang Hua's high-level barracks were already under construction.
The seventh-level army "Xiongqu Army" recruited in Xia Town came to Huayin County and was assigned to the left and right Wuwei camp of Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda.
Xiongqu Army, seventh-level troops, health 130, attack 12, defense 7, agility 8, salary: 15 taels.
Army talent: training bear (can communicate with giant bear mounts, cooperate with them, and attack the enemy)
Like the Iron Eagle Scout, Xiong Qujun is a special cavalry, but one is to train bears, focusing on combat, and the other is to train eagle, focusing on reconnaissance.
Xiongqu Army has thick skin and thick flesh, and its mounts have attack power. It can be said to be a kind of slutty army, just like the Tang Dynasty leopard cavalry.
However, although Xiongqu Army is a seventh-level army, the cost is very high. Xiongqu Army cavalry requires a salary of 15 taels per month, and the cost of raising giant bears is higher than that of war horses.
