Chapter 1180 Fengzhou

When the emperor was lingering in Youzhou, there was a constant war in the north.

After tens of thousands of troops, this strong city was finally captured after nearly a month.

Of course, this is not inferior to Datong's troops. There are 20,000 cavalry alone and more than 10,000 infantrymen in the city. They have lived here for several years and are very familiar with each other. Moreover, their families are also in the city, which has formed a huge combat power.

On the Tang Dynasty, the Tang soldiers led by Li Jixun and Yang Ye had 50,000 people, half of them were cavalrymen, and their only advantage was ten stone-throwing chariots.

This is left over when conquering Taiyuan.

It was too bulky and considered that the Northern Expedition to Datong in the future, it was deliberately left behind.

The 50,000 Tang troops bombed Datong City day and night with 10 stone throwing cars.

If it is broken, it will be repaired. If it is broken, it will be damaged.

It took more than a month, without any reinforcements outside and food and grass inside, Datong City could only be breached.

And this so-called breakthrough is also worth pondering.

This is the Han soldiers and powerful men in the city who fought for life and fought inside and outside, and the Tang army barely broke through Datong City.

Such a siege made the 50,000 Tang troops exhausted, which was really miserable.

Therefore, after the city was broken, the surrendered Khitan soldiers drew one ten and killed thousands of people at once before they could barely vent.

As for the massacre of the city, the Dangxiang people urgently requested, but were stopped by Yang Ye: "There are not only Khitans in the city, but also many Han people. Although they helped the evildoer, they were forced to do so. How could they generalize it?"

"Besides, even if we are willing, the military military police team is unwilling. They can stare carefully. Afterwards, the court will pursue it. I can't stand it. If you can't stand it, you can't stay out of the matter."

Li Jixun couldn't help but be silent when he heard this.

With his qualifications and official rank, he dared not do this, so he agreed with Yang Ye's opinion.

However, after capturing Datong, the army was exhausted and was quite resistant to the next action.

Because the next place was Fengzhou, which was also the location of the Khitans' southwest Zhaoyaosi. There were 10,000 Iron Cavalry here, which was the top priority in the south of the desert.

If you really don’t know, it is that the land near Baotou is now fertile, bordering the Yellow River, and the mineral resources are also very rich.

Fengzhou is at least 300 miles away from Datong. It is basically grassland along the way, and it has to pass through many tribes. After a long journey, the difficulties can be imagined.

The army was exhausted and faced the Khitan cavalry that had been raising their strength again, or the nomadic tribes they recruited. The dangers were self-evident.

In response to this, Zhe Yuxun couldn't help but stand up and said loudly: "The place of Fengzhou can threaten Hetao near and control the south of the desert from afar. Even if we take over Datong, if we don't capture Fengzhou, we can imagine that in the next day, there will definitely be cavalry with endless fires and no traces, but it will be difficult to deal with!"
