Chapter 754

The military city battled overnight, from dark to dawn, Li Siyuan finally couldn't support it. Although he was unwilling to give up, he wanted to defend Guancheng to the death, and wanted to rely on the streets of Guancheng to fight a street battle in the city.

The reinforcements vanguard led by Liu will arrive in the afternoon. As long as he can hold on for a long time, he will still have hope of regaining Jundu Pass. He sent a quick horse out of the pass and asked Liu for help halfway. He also offered a heavy reward to his subordinates, saying that reinforcements will arrive tomorrow.

Unfortunately, Li Siyuan did not hold on until noon, and even dawned.

The Qin army raided a total of 10,000 people in this raid, led by two disciples of Li Jing, Yang Shihou, the leader of the Flying Cavalry Army, and Fu Cun, the leader of the brigade cavalry army. With one sheepskin trick, it successfully captured the closing gate and solved the most difficult level of the raid army.

After entering the pass, he used 10,000 elite light cavalry to deal with 5,000 Shatu soldiers. Although Li Siyuan's Heng Chongduo was one of the four elite aces of Shatuo, there were only 3,000 in the Heng Chongfu, plus Shi Jingsi's personal soldiers, there were still 1,000 wounded soldiers. Moreover, Junduo Pass was an enemy city that had just been captured for the next day, and there were many Yiwu army and Lulong army prisoners, and they also had to pay their own attention to these prisoners. Because this was a military town fortress, there were no people in the city except for family members and family members. In the war, he could not even recruit people to help defend.

What's more, the brigade cavalry and the flying cavalry are not only young and strong, well-trained, but also well-equipped and sharp weapons. They not only have thin but strong half-body armor, rope armor, but also extremely powerful crossbows, thunder fires, and even flying thunder cannons that are easy to carry and have amazing power.

Li Siyuan was extremely depressed in this battle. He had fought many battles with the Qin army, but never could really get a advantage. As for his subordinates, his subordinates were very elite, brave and fierce. But the brave Shatuo warrior was not defeated by courage in the end, but lost to the Qin army's excellent armor and sharp firearms and crossbows.

Under the Qin army's flying thunder cannons, thunder fires, and crossbows, the so-called resistance was steadily defending the streets and alleys and fighting a street battle, the plan to quickly fail completely.

Shatuo Army hid in the house and shot arrows out of the window. The Qin army threw a few thunder fires directly into the house. Even their thunder fires were divided into many kinds. Sometimes there was no need for the explosion. Just get a few extremely choking smoke and poisonous gas bombs, and the Shatuo Warriors in the house rushed out of the house one by one and were shot to death by the Qin army.

There was still some time left after leaving Ming Dynasty, and the white fish in the east had not yet appeared. The soldiers sent by Li Siyuan to scattered all over the city were almost eliminated by the Qin army. When he retreated to the gate of Xiguan and had no choice but to retreat, the five thousand Shatuo troops in the pass were left, and there were still many scars.

Should I live and die with Guan or retreat?

Li Siyuan thought for a long time, but finally had to order to withdraw from the outside of the pass in pain. If he didn't leave, it would be too late. The Qin army's twenty black holes were already placed more than a hundred steps ahead of them. Li Siyuan knew that this large iron tube could directly throw a twenty-pound explosive bag within 200 steps. Although the hit rate was not high, even if the hardship was inaccurate, they could not bear it.

The reinforcements are still missing, no matter how fast they are, it is too late.

At this time, Li Siyuan really regretted it.

If he had known that the Qin army would have raided the army, he would not have had his own intentions and agreed to Guo Chongtao to take away ten thousand troops into the pass. It was really harmful. He wanted to kill people with a knife and teach Guo Chongtao a lesson, but now.

The military gates were short of troops and were captured by the Qin army. He suffered losses and lost all his troops and generals, and almost all of them were left, leaving only more than a thousand people. The Qin army captured the military gates. In this way, Guo Chongtao was in trouble, and there was a big trouble. Guo Chongtao's retreat had been cut off, and he fell completely into the siege of the Qin army and was shut down and beaten to the dog.

He originally planned to teach Guo Chongtao a lesson. After the arrogant guy was taught a lesson by the Qin army, he and his wife led their troops to rescue him. But now, Guo Chongtao is trapped in a siege, and it is hard to say whether he can come back alive.

He was careless and at a slight price of 5,000 people, he raided and captured the Youzhou Gate Fortress Army in less than half a month. Who would have thought that he was so happy that he was slapped heavily by the Qin army not long after.

Originally, it was a great achievement to seize the army, but now, not only are the army lost, but he has lost his troops and generals, and he has also captured Guo Chongtao in the enemy's encirclement.

How to explain when you go back?

Now not only Guo Chongtao is trapped in a siege, but also the general's beloved general Shi Jingsi has also fallen into the hands of the Qin army.

Li Siyuan is a very decisive person. Once he decides, he will never hesitate anymore.

It was judged that he could no longer hold on until the reinforcements arrived, Li Siyuan immediately organized a retreat and broke through. The seriously injured were directly executed and did not allow them to fall into the hands of the Qin army again. Then nearly a thousand people who were slightly injured were left behind by him to perform a deadly mission to cover the remaining more than a thousand people to retreat.

After quickly organizing all this, Li Siyuan led Xue Atan, An Xiuxiu and more than 1,200 soldiers to rush to the gate, and without looking back, he rode out of the gate and fled here.

The more than a thousand Shatuo soldiers left behind were very fierce, but unfortunately they did not cause any harm to the Qin army. After rounds of arrows and bombs passed, the only thousand people died immediately and were completely quiet.

"No need to chase after you." After a brief discussion with Fu Cun, Yang Shihou and Fu Cun did not agree to their subordinates' proposal to leave the country and pursue him.

Li Siyuan ran away decisively. Not only were the serious wounded killed, but even the minor wounded stayed to die. He did not bring any burden, and he was alone and had two horses. They fought all night, and the people were exhausted. At this time, they had no chance of winning. In addition, they knew from the prisoners that Li Keyong's wife Liu had led most of the follow-up troops to arrive, and they might arrive as early as the morning. When they chased out, the biggest possibility was to meet them.

"Immediately clear the clearance city and take over the defense. In addition, please ask the envoys from Yiwu Town to announce our alliance with General Li to Lu Long and Yiwu towns who were detained in the city, so that they can choose freely. Those who are willing to stay and submit to us will be incorporated into the auxiliary military camp to help defend the city. If you don't want to, send it to Shunzhou immediately. Let it go there and make arrangements." Fu Cun ordered.

After winning the Jundu Pass, he achieved a crucial victory.

The urgent order from the King of Qin was that the military must seize Youzhou and block Shatuo outside the pass. Now that the army has been captured, the Shatuo people have been blocked outside the pass. Although there are still 10,000 people inside the pass, they have become turtles in the jar.

"Seeing the Jundu Pass is already a great contribution to our Flying Cavalry and the Brigade Cavalry. We don't need to pay attention to Youzhou, just leave it to Governor Pei and others. As long as we guard the Jundu Pass well, we can't steal all the credits." Yang Shihou stood on the gate building, looking at the Lu Long and Yiwu Army who were voluntarily guarding the Qin army below, and chuckled.

After ordering to stay and stay, more than 90,000 prisoners of war imprisoned in Guanzhong chose to stay, join the Qin army, and join the Qin army's auxiliary camp. The composition of these people is quite complicated. Lulong Town has changed continuously in the past two years, with several civil strife, from Liu Yue to Liu Yan, Liu Rengong, and Li Quanzhong. In a short time, four masters were changed here. Junduguan is an important gateway to the northwest of Youzhou. There have also been several changes. Every time Youzhou changes its master, the soldiers here also have to change. Most of the people guarding here are the original confidants of the original Jieshou. Therefore, after later people replaced the original Jieshou, many of the old guards in this Guancheng also surrendered, but some were imprisoned.

As a result, Li Siyuan and his team raided the pass and captured a large number of officers and soldiers stationed here in Yiwu Town. Therefore, there were Liu Yue's subordinates, Liu Yan's subordinates, Liu Rengong's subordinates, and Li Quanzhong's subordinates, but there were no Shatuo prisoners of war, and they were all killed.

The Qin army was powerful, and these people knew the choice. Even the Yiwu Army guards who were previously captured by the Shatuo Army knew that Li Quanzhong and Li Jing were allied, they did not change their idea of ​​joining the Qin army. Nowadays, whoever they were not a soldier was not a soldier. If they wanted to choose, they naturally had to choose a strong boss.

According to the last statistics, excluding the part that was willing to leave, there were about 20,000 people in Guanzhong who joined the Qin army. However, although these were originally soldiers, many of them were just old and weak soldiers who were forced to recruit, some were white-haired old men, and some were just half-height boys. These people naturally could not become Qin army, but for the time being, they still had to be incorporated into the auxiliary military camp.

After the war, Yang Shihou and Fu Cun interrogated Shatu prisoners and knew that the army was not safe. There were Guo Chongtao's 10,000 Shatu soldiers in the pass had not been resolved yet. Outside the pass, Li Siyuan and more than a thousand people ran away, and the Liu family was coming with more than 30,000 troops.

They only had 10,000 troops, but they had to keep the army in check.

Fortunately, the army is at the Xiongguan Fortress. Although the Shatuo Army and the Qin army took this pass in less than a day, they all used strategies. If they really want to attack head-on, 10,000 people will not be afraid of the attack of 30,000 to 50,000 people. It is not difficult to defend for one or two years. However, the Xiongguan Fortress is not so safe. It is difficult to attack head-on, and there is no guarantee that the two previous tricks of the Shatuo Army and the Qin army will be captured.

Neither Yang Shihou nor Fu Cun dared to be careless and made every effort to prepare for the battle.

Outside Youzhou City, after Guo Chongtao conquered Changping, he left two thousand troops to guard Changping, and then led the remaining 8,000 troops to the northwest of Youzhou City, and set up camp twenty miles away. At this time, Guo Chongtao was watching the terrain near Youzhou with his subordinates and discussing plans to attack Youzhou.

Although Guo Chongtao was crazy, he was very cautious when fighting. He didn't care about Li Kuanwei's 20,000 troops in Youzhou City. What he really was wary of was the Qin army in Shunzhou north of Youzhou. This was exactly why he had to leave 2,000 troops to guard Changping, which was because he was afraid that the Qin army would suddenly send troops and intercept and cut off his retreat.

"Many missionary sent to me to keep an eye on the movements of the Qin army in Shunzhou. Whenever there is any movement, I must know clearly." Guo Chongtao's eyes were sharp and he swept over his subordinates like an eagle.

"Also, how are the siege equipment prepared?"

Youzhou is the first city in the north. It is not only the center of cultural and economics in the north, but also a major military fortress. It is not easy to fight this city.

A Han officer replied: "We are craftsmen with the army, and there are many craftsmen searched from Changping and nearby people. In just seven days, we can create sufficient siege equipment."

Guo Chongtao snorted coldly, "I don't have seven days to give you seven days. Seven days? The daylily is cold? Three days, up to three days, you must build at least thirty arrow towers for me, each arrow tower must accommodate more than ten people standing on it to shoot arrows. In addition, there must be at least one hundred ladders for siege. In addition, there are bridge boards for sports wars and hogs, and other stone casting models for siege. These are also indispensable."

The Han officer's forehead was sweating. Except for Yun Ladder and Haogou Bridge, the rest were very complex large equipment, which was not so easy to make. But he did not dare to refute, so he had to stand there in a embarrassed face and nodded with a bitter face.

Li Cunxin, who was accompanying the army, said on the side: "It takes time to build equipment. Why not find another plan and keep it under the control?"

"Can General Cunxin have any good plans?" Guo Chongtao saw that it was Li Cunxin and changed his color a little. Li Cunxin was originally an Uighur, but Li Keyong and others were entrusted by the Tatars. The Tatars were bribed by Li Jing and wanted to attack the Shatuo people. As a result, Li Cunxin's father reported the message in advance and asked Li Keyong to escape. However, Li Cunxin's father was discovered and executed by the Tatars. In the end, Li Keyong adopted his son as his adopted son and named him Li Cunxin. Li Cunxin was not as good as Li Siyuan and Li Sizhao and other righteous brothers, but he was the best at speaking cleverly and often slandered in front of Li Keyong and said bad things about other righteous brothers. Guo Chongtao also heard of it and stayed away from this venomous snake-like guy.

Li Cunxin is now serving as the Du Yuhou in Guo Chongtao's army and is a military judge.

"I did have an immature idea, and I threw a brick and jade in front of the general, making everyone smile." Li Cunxin smiled slightly and showed off with some pride: "I have three strategies for breaking Youzhou here, and I am willing to relieve the general's worries."

Guo Chongtao is very crazy, but because he is very capable, people with some skills are naturally crazy. Li Cunxin likes to slander and make trouble behind his back. Such people are usually people with no ability, so they have to do shameless things. Guo Chongtao looked down on Li Cunxin very much. He heard that he had a plan to break Youzhou, so he secretly despised Youzhou. How could Youzhou be broken by saying it? When he heard that he actually said that there were three strategies to break Youzhou, and he almost left.

But in the end he still held back and sat there and listened to Li Cunxin’s three strategies of superiority, middleness and inferiority.
