Chapter 3859 The war reignites
Gao Kan turned around and was about to leave, but Fang Jun stopped him and said: "In this battle, there is no need to focus on the private armies of the powerful clans. They are just a bunch of rabble. Even if we let go of the defense line and let them attack the camp, there will be nothing left. How threatening? ”
Gao Kan was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly: "Commander, please make it clear!"
Fang Jun stood up and walked to the map, looked at the map with his hands behind his hands, and said: "If my prediction is correct, the private army of the clans came this time because of Changsun Wuji's force. You don't need to care about the reason, but the private armies of the clans came here." The inevitable relationship with the 'Woye Town Private Army' There is a buffer zone. You might as well set up a suspicious formation, command the main force to penetrate behind the private armies of the clans from both wings, cut them off before the 'Woye Town Private Army', and then surround and annihilate these clans' private armies."< br>
Changsun Wuji's motive was to weaken the power of the clans, including the Guanlong clan, in this way, so as to give Li Ji a "no threat" impression, hoping to gain a chance of survival. After all, if Li Ji really has The imperial edict was in hand, and the imperial edict probably only ordered him to take the opportunity to cut off the private armies of the clans who entered the pass, and cut off the foundation of the clans in the world, rather than annihilating all the clans in one fell swoop.
If that happens, it will inevitably lead to chaos in the world. Not to mention that a mere Li Ji cannot suppress it. Even His Majesty Li Er, who has hated the clan all these years, would not dare to do that...
Now, Changsun Wuji was betting that he really had this edict, and if there were no surprises in the content of the edict, the main purpose was to depose the prince and establish a new heir, and to suppress the clan and eliminate the private army.
Inciting the clan's private army to storm the Taiji Palace in an attempt to overthrow the East Palace perfectly fits the content of the imperial edict. What reason does Li Ji have to target the Guanlong clan again? Moreover, when the East Palace is destroyed and all the private armies are wiped out, the Guanlong clan will no longer be a threat to Li Ji. He can even use the Guanlong clan to balance the Shandong aristocratic families and Jiangnan noble families who are bound to enter the court after the war...
It has to be said that Changsun Wuji's calculation was extremely perfect.
Of course, all this is based on the premise that His Majesty Li Er died and indeed left a legacy...
Since Changsun Wuji drove the private soldiers of the powerful clans to die, Fang Jun was disrespectful, and he did not want the tens of thousands of private soldiers of the powerful clans to be defeated and run around in all directions, causing great harm to the people in Guanzhong, so he must surround them. Annihilate them, either die or surrender.
Gao Kan didn't understand why Fang Jun made the judgment that "there must be a buffer zone between the clan's private army and the private army of Woye Town", but he didn't ask more questions and nodded: "Don't worry, Commander, the final general will definitely complete it." Mission!”
Fang Jun nodded and warned: "These private armies have always been a scourge to the countryside everywhere. If they break up and scatter all over Guanzhong this time, they will cause irreparable harm to the people. So you must remember that this battle The private soldiers of the clan will either kill or capture them, and they must not be allowed to break out of the encirclement, which will bring disaster to Guanzhong!”
"Here!"
Gao Kan responded loudly, turned around and strode out, went to mobilize the troops and rushed to the front line of Yong'an Canal to set up defenses.
*****
The private armies of noble families stationed in various places in Guanzhong urgently gathered towards Chang'an. After arriving in Chang'an, they were recruited outside Jinguangmen, and Chang Sunyan was responsible for reorganizing them.
The so-called reorganization is just to organize all the ministries in one place, and issue orders to the leaders of the private armies of various clans, and decide to raid the Youtun defense line outside Jingyao Gate tonight. These private armies were very panicked after receiving the order, but after hearing that Wu Lang of the Changsun family had been killed in the Chengtian Sect today, their resistance was slightly reduced.
The husbands of the eldest grandson family were all killed in the battle. It can be seen that Changsun Wuji has made up his mind to destroy both the jade and the stone. If anyone backs out at this time, do they really think that Changsun Wuji is a vegetarian?
However, the leaders of the private armies of various clans still had a headache. The Youtun Guards divided their troops into several groups, and each group only had more than a thousand cavalry. They defeated the private armies of various clans and clans, ranging from more than ten thousand to three to five thousand. The powerful private army was vulnerable to the elite and powerful Youtun Guards.
Now we actually want to raid Youtunwei's defense line...
Fortunately, there was still the Yuwen family's "Woye Town Private Army", which made everyone feel a little relieved. Although the "Woye Town Private Army" also suffered heavy losses at the hands of Youtunwei before, they are the elite aces of Guanlong's army. Even if they can't defeat them, when everyone retreats together, Youtunwei will have nothing to do, right?
Chang Sunyan convened various departments to give training to the private armies, conveying the determination of Guanlong's senior officials to win this battle. He first threatened that if any of the private armies were afraid of the enemy and fled the battle, severe sanctions would be imposed on the Guanlong clan. , and then he casually uttered all kinds of unguaranteed lies for free with the promise of huge profits, which greatly boosted the morale of the leaders of these powerful private armies.
At midnight, the reorganization was finally completed. Chang Sunyan waved his hand, and tens of thousands of troops advanced northward along the west side of Chang'an City in an orderly manner.
Tens of thousands of powerful private troops advanced in the front. Yu Wenlong personally commanded the "Woye Town Private Army" and about 20,000 Guanlong troops were behind. In order to prevent his own formation from being scattered when the clan's private army collapsed, Yu Wenlong ordered a "buffer zone" of more than fifty feet wide between his troops and the clan's private army, and secretly ordered that after the battle, if the clan's private army The private army collapses backwards, and the "Woye Town Private Army" in the front can kill the defeated troops to ensure the integrity of their own array...
When the army arrived at Kaiyuanmen, the battle that had been quiescent for a day and night in Chang'an City suddenly started. Countless Guanlong troops under the command of Yu Wenshiji launched a fierce attack on Taiji Palace.
At the same time, Chang Sun Yan, who was in charge of the powerful private army, received a report from the scouts, saying that the front line had been in contact with the scouts of Youtun Guard. When they arrived at the northern wall of Chang'an City, the scouts reported that Gao Kan had led more than 10,000 elite soldiers to the left of Yong'an Canal. At the same time, the Tubo Huqi stationed near Zhongwei Bridge in the northwest also dispatched and were encircling towards Kaiyuanmen.
Chang Sunyan swallowed nervously. Wasn't this the previous strategy to defeat Yu Wenlong? Although the defense strategy of Youtun Guard is clearly laid out here, in the end, the competition is still the combat power of the soldiers of both sides. Even the "Woye Town Private Army" was defeated under the command of Yu Wenlong, and almost the entire army was defeated. If he is destroyed, what chance can he have of winning?
The army marched slowly. Chang Sun Yan handed over his soldiers and ordered: "If the battle situation is unfavorable, you must not act recklessly. Protect me. We will retreat all the way. We must not be trapped by the private armies of these powerful families. That can be It’s over!”
When are there the greatest casualties on the battlefield?
It is not a head-on battle, but the two armies are in formation and facing each other head-on. Although the scene is tragic, in fact, due to the limited number of troops taking part, both sides have to leave room for adaptation, and the casualties are not as large as it seems intuitively. The greatest casualties occur when one of the parties is defeated. The formation is disorganized and cut into countless segments by the enemy. They are divided into groups, chased after each other, and even panicked and trampled on each other. Tens of thousands of troops often cannot escape. Within a few miles of going out, there were all the dead and injured, and the human lives were really like grass and grass, lying down and dead one by one, with corpses lying in the fields and lying on the pillow.
Once you are trapped by defeated troops, you really won’t be able to escape even if you want to...
The soldiers are also very nervous. They all hope that Shiro will inherit the position of the head of the family in the future. Everyone will go to heaven, enjoy the good life, drink hot food, and dominate. Who wants to die here?
They all nodded: "Don't worry, Shiro, we will protect Shiro."
"Even if we all die, we will definitely fight a bloody path for Shiro!"
Changsun Yan nodded with satisfaction, slightly relieved.
Perhaps my father was lucky, hoping that while driving these private troops to their deaths, they could defeat the Youtun Guards' defense line and advance towards Xuanwu Gate, thus providing more assistance to the frontal battlefield. But Changsun Yan didn't think so. In several consecutive battles, which one did he take advantage of in the hands of Youtunwei? Although Fang Er is not a thing, his ability to train the army is absolutely top-notch in the world. He is no less competitive than Li Jing, Li Jina and other world-famous commanders. The Shenji Battalion back then, the Youtun Guards in front of him, and even Rampant the Seven Seas Which navy among us is not brave, adept at fighting, and fearless of death?
He just wanted to quickly complete the task of "sending someone's head" and then retreat, never willing to take the slightest risk...
Changsun Yan asked again: "Is Yuwenlong ready?"
The soldier replied: "General Yuwen has sent people here just now, saying that everything is ready on his side. He asked Shiro to lead his army forward and raid the Youtun defense line."
"Bah! Mother, I was beaten to pieces by the Youtun Guards before, but this time you encouraged me to die?"
Changsun Yan cursed and ordered: "Send the order to the whole army, maintain the formation, speed up, cross the Guanghua Gate, and advance towards the Yong'an Canal!"
"Here!"
More than a dozen soldiers with small red flags on their backs rode towards the various ministries to convey Chang Sun Yan's military orders.
Suddenly, tens of thousands of troops accelerated, crossed Gwanghwamun, and headed straight for Yongan Canal.
On the left bank of Yong'an Canal, Gao Kan had already led his troops to prepare for the attack.
To the northwest, the Tubo Huqi led by Zan Po also began to accelerate gradually... (End of this chapter)
