Chapter 658 Wu Qi and Li Jing duel!

"The black clouds are crushing the city and want to destroy..."

The military saint Wu Qi, carrying his hands on his back, stood on the beacon tower of Yubi City, looking to the north.

Wu Qi had an ominous premonition.

When he was attacking Qin, his opponent was the Qin general Wang Jian, and Wu Qi did not have this kind of premonition of anxiety.

When Zhang Hua attacked Qin, he used more troops than the Qin army. As long as he had the advantage of military strength, Wu Qi was confident that he could be invincible.

But this time we are going to deal with Tang Jun.

Under the management of Li Shimin, the Tang army was not suppressed in the early stage and its power expanded, and its number of troops was more than that of the Qin army.

Moreover, Li Shimin's reinforcements have arrived in Hedong.

Compared with Li Su Li, a famous Tang general who raided Hedong last time, the Tang army general Li Jing, who arrived this time, was even more cruel and known as the God of the Tang army.

Wu Qi was undefeated in his life, while Li Jing also never lost!

Even in this world, Li Jing is at most tied with other military generals, and has never been defeated even once!

"Wu Zi, the news that the Tang Emperor Li Shimin sent General Li Jing as the vanguard, and Li Jing had led 200,000 Tang troops to Jinzhou City."

Xinlingjun took a group of disciples to inspect the city defense of Yubi City and met Wu Qi at the beacon tower. He mentioned the possible war that would break out next, and was worried.

The Tang Dynasty War God Li Jing personally led the troops, which may be the strongest enemy facing Wei Wuzhang.

Li Jing was the commander of the same level as Wu Qi, as well as famous generals from the Later Tang Dynasty, such as Li Cunxu, Li Siyuan, Li Cunshen, and Zhou Dewei, and perhaps even Flying Tiger General Li Cunxiao would participate in the attack on Hedong.

"The young man is so terrifying."

Wu Qi couldn't help but sigh.

The famous generals in later generations are not necessarily inferior to those in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. On the contrary, the famous generals in later generations have a higher vision and their use of cavalry must be higher than those in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Sun Wu, Han Bai, Wei, Huo, Li Yue, the four people behind are better at using cavalry than the four people in front, which is the limitation of the times.

"Yao Xiong from Shangdang, Cao Gui from Xiacheng, and Liang Hongyu from Chang'an are all ready to support Hedong."

Wu Qi was taking stock of the available troops around.

During the East Expedition, Zhang Hua still left many troops to guard Chang'an City.

Xinlingjun also counted the troops: "200,000 in Hedong, 200,000 in Shangdang, 200,000 in Chang'an, 100,000 in Xiacheng, and 700,000 in total available troops."

"The soldiers in Chang'an should not act rashly, otherwise the Tang army can launch light cavalry and attack Chang'an."

Although Wu Qi did not know the Tang Dynasty, Wu Qi learned from the descendants that the military generals of the Tang Dynasty were extremely good at using cavalry.

Li Jing led the cavalry and directly crossed Yubi City and took Chang'an. This was completely possible.

"There are only 500,000 soldiers available..."

Xinlingjun had never seen so many troops in the Wei Kingdom before, but in front of Li Shimin's Tang army, the 500,000 troops could not be allowed to let Wu Qi, so Xinlingjun was relieved.

"Tang Army is here!"

The scouts on the watchtower warned, Wu Qi and Xinling Jun looked to the north at the same time.

I saw sand and dust rising in the north, and the hazy sky, crows hovered, and a slender black line appeared on the horizon. Below the hovering crows were flags of Tang army, rolling in the north wind!

Immediately, groups of Tang cavalry appeared, boundless!

The Tang army occupied Bingzhou, which produced horses and conquered a large number of Turkish and Xianbei tribes, so the Tang army had a large number of cavalry!

Even Wu Qi would not choose to fight the Tang army in the field, because the opponent was Li Jing, a military god who was good at using cavalry. He fought in the field. Under the premise that the Tang army had a large number of cavalry, Wu Qi would most likely be defeated by Li Jing.

"The Tang army's military formation is almost invincible."

When Wu Qi saw the Tang army march, the army formation was closely arranged and there was no flaw at all. He knew that the commander of the Tang army must be the rumored Li Jing.

"It's really amazing. Almost every soldier knows his position. He is unable to find a flaw. He is worthy of being a famous general."

Xinlingjun was moved when he witnessed the orderly lineup of the Tang army.

Li Jing served as the commander of the Tang army. The Tang army was uniform and well-equipped, which made people unable to raise the idea of ​​fighting with the Tang army.

The overwhelming Tang army troops came under the high wall of Yubi City, and under the deployment of Li Jing, they began to set up camps and build siege equipment.

Li Jing's deployment of the Tang Army camp was secretly integrated into the formation, but there were no flaws.

"All soldiers defend each city gate and each section of the city wall according to the original deployment, and do not make any mistakes!"

"Abide by the order!"

With the order from Xinling Jun, Wei Wushang climbed up the various sections of the city walls and arrow towers to defend the city.

Under the command of Wu Qi and Xinlingjun, the Wei Wushu also had a tight army and was airtight.

Wei Wu's soldiers had long spears like forests, and were displayed on the city wall, forming a human wall.

"Well."

Li Jing led the cavalry to stop, and rows of Tang cavalry to stop immediately, majestic but uniform, without a trace of panic.

"This is the Yubi City that made Gao Huan's hundreds of thousands of troops helpless in the Southern and Northern Dynasties? It is indeed a steep city!"

Li Jing was below the high wall, looking up at the towering Jade Bi City.

Yubi City is sitting on the high wall, and only the dirt slope to the south can attack Yubi City. The two villages in Yubi City, east and west, can use arrow rain and cross-fire to suppress the soldiers who attack the city.

Such a solid city is undoubtedly a nightmare for the siege.

After several years of operation, Yubi City has long been as solid as a decisive and indestructible.

Wu Qi stationed 200,000 troops here. The Tang army could not ignore Wu Qi and directly attack Chang'an. Otherwise, the food route would be cut off by Wu Qi's troops, and the Tang army that surprises Chang'an City would become an isolated army.

"This city has prevented our Crow Army from moving south many times."

Li Cunxu sighed in surprise.

Yubi City is as solid as a god, but the Tang army cannot ignore this city, so the existence of Yubi City is undoubtedly a headache for the Tang army.

Li Keyong, Li Cunxu and his son's Ya'er Army, and Li Jue and Su Lie, two famous Tang army generals, once tried to cross Yubi City and cross the river directly, but were blocked by the troops in Guanzhong and thus defeated.

"This time, should we capture Yubi City and march into Guanzhong, or should we siege Yubi City with some troops and horses, and then use an elite cavalry to attack Guanzhong?"

Li Cunxu looked at Li Jing.

This time, the commander was not Li Cunxu, but Li Jing.

"Wu Qi and Xinling Jun are all famous generals of ancient times. They stationed 200,000 troops in Yubi. We have 450,000 troops. If we want to surround Yubi City, we cannot send troops to cut off the food route, and it will take at least 300,000 troops. Split 150,000 troops, enter Guanzhong, and attack Chang'an City, which has 200,000 people defended, which is undoubtedly a fire to take the chestnut. We have a better way and don't have to take such risks."

Li Jing thought it was too risky to divide the troops, so he followed the steps and besieged Yubi City.

Seeing that Li Jing had his own opinion, Li Cunxu did not give much advice, but instead urged the craftsmen in Hedong to build siege equipment.

Li Shimin was quite disappointed with the Crow Army in Hedong and asked Li Jing to attack Hedong, and Li Cunxu was responsible for cooperating.

Tang military craftsmen built a large number of stone siege machines, siege towers, and piled up dirt mountains under the high walls, and built arrow towers on dirt mountains to see the whole city by bird's eye view.

During this period, Wu Qi's Wei Wushang did not take the initiative to attack the Tang army because Wu Qi could not find the flaws in the Tang army's camp.

"I heard that Li Jing is good at surprise attacks and winning surprises, but why is he so calm?"

Wu Qi initially judged that Li Jing would send out cavalry and attack Guanzhong, but after Li Jing led the Tang army to Yubi City, he attacked the city step by step, making Wu Qi think he was playing chess with the steady Wang Jian.

"No, since this person is good at winning unexpectedly, the possibility of taking such a steady approach is too small. What is he thinking?"

Wu Qi had already begun to confront Li Jing invisibly, speculating on Li Jing's intention.

Every famous general has their own style of military use. For example, Wang Jian, one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period, had a terrible style, which was to be terrible and defensively counterattacked.

Li Jing's style was a surprise victory, but he adopted the same safe approach as Wang Jian, which made Wu Qi wonder about Li Jing's intention.

"By using the opponent's military style to discover the other party's strangeness... Wu Qi is also a terrible guy."

Xinlingjun did not notice anything wrong with Li Jing, but Wu Qi keenly noticed something wrong.

"Is their first step not to attack Hedong?"

Wu Qi suddenly had an inspiration and thought of Li Jing's intention.

"Impossible. If the other party's primary target is not Hedong, then where will it be?"

When Xinling Jun saw Wu Qi suddenly lost his mind, he made amazing inferences, which was unbelievable.

On the surface, Wu Qi and Li Jing confronted each other in Yubi City, but the two were looking at the overall situation!

A truly top-notch commander is definitely not only tactically, but also strategically!

"If what I expected was not bad, Emperor Li Shimin of Tang might lead troops to attack Shangdang County, seize all our territory north of the Yellow River, and then make every effort to march into Guanzhong. Notify the Jinyiwei that he would not collect it at night, regardless of the cost, notify Shangdang guard Yao Xiong, Duan Shao, Gao Changgong and others, and advise them to increase their vigilance. If they really cannot persist, try to withdraw from Shangdang area and preserve their strength!"

Wu Qi used incredible wisdom to infer Li Shimin's strategy, so he immediately ordered the Jinyiwei in Yubi City to break through the Beishan tunnel at night and warn the 200,000 troops stationed in Shangdang County.

Wu Qi has also heard that Li Shimin is one of the most powerful emperors in all dynasties. If Li Shimin really asked Li Jing to lead troops to restrain the Wu Qi army in Yubi City, and personally led the elite Tang army such as the Xuanjia Army to attack Shangdang County in Taihang Mountains, then the Yaoxiong Army might not be able to block Li Shimin's main force of the Tang army!

"This time the enemy is too strong. Is this one of the most powerful dynasties in later generations?"

Before he could fight against the Tang army, Xinlingjun was already sweating profusely.

When Zhang Hua entered Guanzhong, the Qinchuan Tang established by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was once the most powerful force Zhang Hua encountered, while the Bingzhou Tang established by Li Shimin was ten times stronger than the Qinchuan Tang Tang of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.
