Chapter 3738: Big Defeat
Yu Wenjie secretly glanced at Changsun Wuji. The latter's face was calm, showing no emotion or anger...
The scout continued: "...General Changsun ordered the army to postpone the attack on the city and tried to gather the army to surround the armored cavalry so that they would lose their impact."
Changsun Wuji nodded slightly: "That's exactly what it should be."
The impact of the armored cavalry is unparalleled in the world, especially on a wide frontal battlefield. It is almost equivalent to an invincible existence. Encircling it and then slowly biting it is the most correct and only choice.
Of course, he is not praising the eldest son Jiaqing here, because the message from the scouts has become clear. No matter what choice the eldest son Jiaqing makes, the result will inevitably be a failure - he is just praising the eldest son Jiaqing to offset the eldest son's family here. The mistakes he made during the battle of Yamato Gate were captured this time.
The opportunity for the city to be almost empty was obtained by the Yuwenlong tribe being defeated by the main force of the Youtun Guards. If the Yamato Gate still fails to be conquered under such circumstances, wouldn't the Changsun family's army be considered useless in the eyes of others? Therefore, we must emphasize the correctness of Changsun Jiaqing and not hesitate to exaggerate the power of Youtunwei.
Otherwise, the Changsun family will face endless doubts and complaints...
The scout didn't know what Changsun Wuji was thinking, so he continued: "But the impact of the armored cavalry was too strong. Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Shenli led his army to break out of the encirclement to the north. He hung far to the north of the army while recovering. While observing the situation, he saw General Changsun organizing a large army to attack the city, so he attacked the flanks of the army fiercely, which made General Changsun afraid to attack the city with all his strength, so he kept delaying."
Changsun Wuji pondered for a while, then stood up again and came to the map, carefully checking the terrain near the Yamato Gate. A clear scene gradually appeared in his mind, and he reviewed the battle taking place over there.
For a long time, I sighed silently in my heart.
Is the eldest grandson Jiaqing okay?
It was indeed incompetent. The Yuwen family's "Woye Town" private army was defeated and held back the main force of the Youtun Guards and the Tubo Huqi, creating an opportunity for the eldest son Jiaqing to almost conquer the empty city. In the end, he faced only 5,000 defenders. However, the army was unable to break the city. Instead, it was beaten into a dilemma and at a loss.
However, the incompetence of eldest son Jiaqing cannot be entirely blamed.
The Youtun Guards' tactics were extremely flexible this time, and they took the advantages of their armored cavalry to the extreme. How could such an army with indestructible armor and invincible impact be able to kill the ragtag Guanlong army in public?
Even the regular army stationed in Tongguan at the moment, once the armored cavalry breaks into the heart of the country and gallops around, I am afraid there is no good way. They can only wait for them to get tired before they can surround them.
Changsun Jiaqing can naturally consume the opponent slowly like this, but the problem is that his purpose is to quickly break the city, which gives the armored cavalry a chance to recover and destroy at the same time.
From this point of view, it cannot be said that Changsun Jiaqing is incompetent. It can only be said that the tactics Liu Shenli chose are extremely consistent with the current battlefield situation.
In this way, Changsun Wuji became more and more depressed. The Guanlong clan had deep roots and prosperous descendants, but in recent years there had been few outstanding descendants, resulting in a shortage of talents and no one to use them. But Fang Jun's side has an endless stream of elite soldiers and generals, and anyone who passes under that guy's hands will all have useful talents.
Liu Rengui, Liu Renyuan, Xue Rengui, Pei Xingjian, Xi Junmai, Cheng Wuting...
Now, all these talents have attached themselves to the East Palace with Fang Jun, making the East Palace full of talents and doubled in strength.
Is this the so-called "destiny"?
Changsun Wuji was in trouble.
Obviously, if Changsun Jiaqing's troops want to capture Yamato Gate quickly, they can only increase their troops. However, the soldiers and horses in the military camp outside the city cannot be moved, otherwise the camp may be empty and there may be trouble. Those powerful troops who came to Guanzhong for reinforcements It is not safe; it is not advisable to transfer troops from Chang'an City. If the troops here are transferred, Li Jing will definitely notice that he will also withdraw some troops to reinforce Yamato Gate...
Who would have thought that the Guanlong army, whose strength was several times that of the East Palace, would sometimes be stretched thin?
In the final analysis, there are still too many people and too few elites who can really stand up...
At this time, not only must we quickly capture the Yamato Gate and occupy the Daming Palace, but we must also find ways to eliminate the suspicion that may arise in the Yuwen family and other Guanlong clan clans.
He gritted his teeth and ordered: "The messenger, Sun Jiaqing, ordered him to speed up the capture of Yamato Gate at any cost! Otherwise, military law will be engaged!"
He had no choice but to be so cruel. Regardless of the consequences of his delay in capturing the Yamato Gate, or the suspicion of the Guanlong Gate clan against his "two approaches" strategy, it was extremely serious and could easily lead to the current situation. It took a turn for the worse.
Yamato Gate must be taken down!
"Here!"
The scout got the order and walked out quickly.
Changsun Wuji stood in front of the map. All the previous happiness caused by the heavy damage to Yuwen's private army was gone, and his heart was full of solemnity.
*****
Outside Guanghua Gate, by the Yongan Canal.
Yu Wenlong rode his horse and stood in the formation, holding a horizontal sword in his hand, looking pale as the guardsmen of Youtun came in like a tide, sweeping in the "Woye Town" private army under his command. When part of the cavalry was dragged on the outside to confront the opponent's light cavalry, and the other part was deployed in the rear to resist the impact of the Tubo cavalry, the heavily armored infantry in the opponent's formation, covered with iron armor, became a powerful weapon that dominated the battlefield.
These armored monsters are holding sharp swords, arranged in a strict square array, and marching in neat steps, as if they are rolling forward slowly like a wall made of steel and embedded with steel blades. The speed is not fast, but they are not Resistible.
Bows, crossbows, swords and guns were useless against the opponent's armor, but the opponent could easily scatter their own army by just waving the wide and long-handled Mo Dao in his hand. Countless Yuwen family members were cut and chipped by the sharp blades. It broke, howling miserably and spilling hot blood, leaving corpses everywhere.
The "Woye Town" private army that the Yuwen family had supported for many years and relied on as its foundation was slaughtered like a dolphin dog in front of such a heavy armored infantry.
Yu Wenlong's eyes are about to burst!
What kind of monster did Fang Jun create with a stick? !
There are powerful firearms, indestructible heavy infantry, and armored cavalry that are irresistible on the battlefield... No matter who is up against them, even the most sophisticated military strategies will be useless. What kind of array can deal with such a force that is armed to the teeth, and what can it do?
If you rush up to someone and can't take a bite of their flesh, they will kill you with a backhand knife...
The sophisticated equipment allows Youtunwei to completely ignore any strategies and tactics and just rush forward. No one can stop it anyway...
There were loud killing sounds all around, ghosts crying and gods howling, and Yu Wenlong was heartbroken. This was the army that the Yuwen family relied on for their livelihood. Now that they were all in his hands, how was he going to explain it to the family leader and the children of the clan?
He is not a shameless person. Now that the matter has come to this, he can only die to apologize.
Holding the horizontal sword in his hand, Yu Wenlong clamped the horse's belly, and the horse neighed loudly. He was about to raise his four hooves and rush to the killing battlefield ahead. However, as soon as the hoof was raised, the horse was blocked by the soldiers around him. Pull the reins.
"General, no!"
"You can leave the green hills without fear of running out of firewood. The casualties are heavy right now, but you have to take everyone to escape, one by one, otherwise they will all die here, and then it will be really over!"
……
Yu Wenlong was horrified, and quickly woke up from his grief and anger. He raised his eyes and looked around him. He saw more than a thousand soldiers surrounding him, all injured and stripped of their helmets. They were in an extremely embarrassed state. It is easy to rush forward and fight to the death with Youtun Guards, but if all these private troops are destroyed here, what will the Yuwen family do?
Also, Changsun Yin kept saying that he was coming out in two directions, but as soon as he arrived near Jingyao Gate, he was attacked by the Youtun Guards. Gao Kan didn't even hesitate at all, and never considered Changsun on the other side. The Jiaqing tribe may directly capture the Daming Palace...
Is there no conspiracy in this?
If the Yuwen family fell here, the happiest person would be Changsun Wuji.
Thinking of this, Yu Wenlong cheered up and said loudly: "Today's defeat is my fault, but this grudge will be written down, and the children of the Yuwen family will definitely repay it in the future! Sons and gentlemen, follow me out of the siege!"
< br>
"Here!"
The nearby soldiers boosted their morale and loudly promised.
Yu Wenlong said no more, turned his horse's head on his back, waved his sword and took the lead, heading towards the road to kill. Thousands of remnant soldiers followed closely behind him, and they fled in a panic with billowing smoke.
However, before they could get far, they saw countless cavalry scattered in all directions, panicking and choosing their way. The Tubo Huqi, wearing leather armor and holding scimitars, had already defeated the light cavalry behind the palace. They were in the wilderness on the edge of Fanglin Garden on the north side of the city wall. Chase and carnage.
It also blocked Yu Wenlong's retreat. (End of chapter)
