Chapter 573 Looking to Chang'an (5100 Supplements)
Above the Guanzhong Plain, a vast army was winding forward.
Fang Ming rode his horse and saw that the plains were full of fields, and most of them were good mature fields with fertile soil. He couldn't help but sigh: "The career of Qinchuan, the foundation of the emperor, and the ancients did not deceive me!"
The land of Guanzhong at this time was not the Loess Plateau with thousands of ravines in his previous life.
On the contrary, the vegetation is lush and the place where you see is full of pleasant green, and the place where you see it is endless.
Before the water and soil were lost, the Guanzhong Plain was truly a fertile land of thousands of miles at this time. Regardless of population, politics, economy, and agriculture, it is a well-deserved Han center.
This time he left the Young Marshal's Army, Song Bang stayed in Tongguan, and he led an army of 300,000 to attack Chang'an!
Actually, there is no choice.
If he did not seize the opportunity, Li Yuan would surrender to the Turks, and the entire north would be in ruins.
The only thing Fang Ming could do was to conquer Chang'an before the Turkic army headed south, so that he could maintain the energy of the Central Plains and then compete with the Hu people.
"but……"
Fang Ming's face was a little solemn: "I only have 200,000 government soldiers, 50,000 imperial guards, and 50,000 god-fire troops. The overall strength is not particularly strong... If I can't fight for a long time when attacking Chang'an, and then be attacked by the Turkic army, and the Young General Army and the Jianghuai Army will be able to reverse the situation, it is really possible that the great cause will be overturned..."
Because of this, although he knew that if he had a coalition with the Young Commander, he might have been able to destroy the troops to 400,000, Fang Ming also asked Kou Zhong and the other two to stay in Tongguan.
This battle is dangerous and he really can't stand the slightest luck.
After missing the uncertain factor of the Young Marshal's Army, he was confident that no army in the world could defeat him.
"This is also an opportunity!"
Fang Ming's eyes were faint and cold, "Leave room to give Shuanglong the last choice. If Kou Zhong does not disband the Young Commander's Army and retire to the countryside after I capture Chang'an, there is only a dead end."
At this time, he had 300,000 troops, fought east and west, and was invincible. He forcibly captured Luoyang and Tongguan. It was even more rumored that he had a destiny. Tongguan and Luoyang were both defeated by heaven, which led to rumors, which was very confusing.
All the Guanzhong counties surrendered without fighting.
Ten days later, Chang'an City was already in sight.
"Records of the Grand Historian" says: "The Qin land is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with four barriers as solid. The left is Gohan and the right is Longshu, with fertile fields of thousands of miles, Bashu Rao in the south, and Huwan in the north, and guarding the three sides, and one side is the east to control the princes; the princes are stable, the rivers and the grains are used to conquer the world and the west to the capital; the princes have changed and go downstream, which is enough to submit the loss... This is the so-called Jincheng, a thousand miles of the country, the Tianfu! There is a hurry, and a million people can be established. Because of Qin, the capital is very beautiful and fertile, and the so-called Tianfu!"
Chang'an is the capital of the Great Sui Dynasty, and has been expanded by two generations of Sui emperors. At this time, it is indeed the largest city in the world. The waterways outside are intertwined, forming a situation where eight waters surround Chang'an. The water flows through, which is beneficial to the dragon energy, the world is rich in treasures, and it is dazzling and intoxicating. It can be said that the essence of the world is in Guanzhong, and the essence of Guanzhong is in Chang'an!
After the vanguard arrived in Chang'an, Fang Ming immediately ordered the army to set up camp and then captured the acropolis near Chang'an. This last base of Li Tang was completely exposed to Fang Ming.
On the fifteenth, the army officially began to attack the city.
This time, Fang Ming was considered to have all the trump cards, whether it was a stone cannon, artillery, or even improved siege cars, ladders, and arrow towers, and they were taking turns to fight around Chang'an.
At this time, the generals defending Chang'an were extremely tenacious, and even had a team of elite soldiers who had closed their ears, responsible for repairing the city walls behind the cannons.
Chang'an is the first city in the city. Regardless of the height or thickness of the city wall, it is definitely not comparable to the previous city.
Even though Fang Ming's magic artillery had the creativity of later generations, it could only chisel the city wall bit by bit due to its craftsmanship, so why was the progress slow?
"Li Shimin!"
Fang Ming’s way of vain and movement around him: “I have a strong premonition. At this time, the guard of Chang’an must be Li Shimin!”
"good!"
Xu Xingzhi Ning’s key point: “This city guard is obviously prepared and has more experience in resisting firearm strikes. I’m afraid that Li Shimin will be the one!”
"Contact Feng Deyi and Feng Lun! He will respond at all costs!"
Fang Ming did not hesitate at all and activated the most advanced secret skull ambushed in the Li family.
"Abide by the order!"
Xu Xingzhi received the order and immediately said, "It's just that although this person is quite favored by Li Yuan, he doesn't take charge of the troops. What can you do?"
"It's okay. As long as you can reveal the specific situation in the city, it's a great charity!"
Another simplest way to conquer Chang'an is Yang Gong's treasure house!
In Yang Gong’s treasure house, not only is there a secret passage connecting the inside and outside of Chang’an, but there is also a path that directly leads to the imperial city!
This was the use of Yang Guang when he was the King of Jin when he was conspiring with Yang Su, preparing to kill the crown prince Yang Yong and Emperor Wen Yang Jian.
Although the conspiracy failed, the secret passage was preserved.
If elite troops are selected to enter, Chang'an can be sent to the city in one day, whether it is attacking the imperial city or using it as an internal supporter.
Unfortunately, the builder of this treasure house was Lu Miaozi, and he had an indescribable relationship with Cihang Jingzhai.
Fang Ming really doubted his character.
I sent a team of people to try the secret passage of Yang Gong’s treasure house. As expected, there was no news as soon as I entered. It was obvious that the trap had been arranged inside.
I couldn't help but think of the previous documents and information again.
With his secret order, Song Lu directly arrested Lu Miaozi. If the queen had not pleaded with mercy, she would have been beheaded and made public.
Even now, a guard is inevitable.
The Song family at this time was no longer the same as before. Not only did a large number of leaders in the southern martial arts world surrender, but they also collected many skilled craftsmen.
Of course, there is still some shortcomings in dealing with Lu Miaozi.
However, this person has a weakness, and his martial arts are not the best, so Song Lu directly sacked his martial arts and used the imitation of seven-needle magical gods developed by Fang Ming.
"Report! Someone outside the camp called himself Bi Xuan's disciple and sent a letter of war!"
"Report! The horses discovered traces of the Turkic Wolf Army, which were less than a hundred miles away!"
Suddenly, the two Song family generals came quickly and sent the latest news.
"Wu Zun Bi Xuan, are you going to fight me to a life-and-death battle? Tell him that after you destroy Jie Li, I will naturally go to him to take action!"
Fang Ming sneered.
At this time, he was the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, and his great cause was all in one. How could he reduce his identity and fight with others? Even if that person was Wu Zun Bi Xuan!
The commander must look like a commander!
With his current status, Bi Xuan and his martial arts are at most a noble reputation on the grassland. What can I do?
"As for the Turkic Wolf Army?"
Fang Ming smiled: "Jie Li will never miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! How many of them are there!"
"From the horse's hoof prints and smoke, there are no less than 350,000, or even 400,000!"
"Four hundred thousand!"
Xu Xingzhi exclaimed.
On the grassland, everyone dismounted for the people and started to serve the soldiers. Jie Li had 400,000 string control men this time, so it was not enough to empty his tribe. At least it was the joint force of the East and West Turks, and even tribal leaders of all sizes, which was the scale of this.
The most terrifying thing is that the grassland soldiers are basically born riders, one man and one horse!
Four hundred thousand army is four hundred thousand cavalry!
Looking at the present day, almost no force in the Central Plains can match it alone. If Emperor Yang of Sui was still there, his hundreds of thousands of imperial guards might be even more than that, but now...
Xu Xingzhi looked at Fang Ming, and he naturally knew that Fang Ming had left a hundred thousand troops to guard Tongguan, and his troops were only 300,000 at this time!
From 300,000 to 400,000!
Although the gap seems to be small, it is based on infantry and cavalry. Unless all the soldiers of the Song family are of the imperial guards of the Sui Dynasty, the outcome will be in danger.
"Good come!"
Fang Ming suddenly laughed: "If most of these 400,000 people are left behind, the Turkic forces will inevitably be in a slump from now on!"
The Turkic population was just that small. Jie Li pulled out an army of 400,000, and he had already brought out every male in the tribe.
Fang Ming had no doubt that in this "400,000" army, there were young men who had just turned 14 or 15 years old, and there were old men who were fifty or sixty years old.
If most of them are left, it can be said that the remaining elderly, weak, women and children on the grassland may not even be able to survive this winter!
...
The first year of Zhenguan, May.
The Song army besieged Chang'an and the Li family invited the Hu people to help.
The two sides set up their battles on a small plain north of Chang'an. This place is unknown, but overnight, it gathers millions of troops, and a battle to determine the number of north and south atmospheres, and even the Han Dynasty's regime will be about to expand!
"Chang'an, can't even stick to it?"
Fang Ming climbed up to look far, and the sky-eyed qi-seeking technique was opened. Then he saw that in Chang'an City, three dragon-shaped fortunes were entangled and fought for each other, and he was eager to try it out, and a smile appeared on his face: "Let Li Jiancheng go away, and then Li Shimin go away, it's really good!"
If these two people want to be released together, they must be killed together.
Otherwise, if only one is left, Li Yuan has no choice but to support it with all his strength, which will increase the cohesion of Li's family.
But now, the two dragons are fighting for each other and are in a situation of consumption, but they involuntarily increase Fang Ming's energy.
"It's not only Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng fighting openly and secretly, but I'm afraid there is also the intention of sitting in the mountains to watch the tiger fight and reaping the benefits of a fisherman?"
Cooperating with the technique of looking at the Qi and the secret information transmitted from the Li Tang royal family, Fang Ming immediately made inferences.
For Li Yuan, he was the enemy, and the Turks were the same.
Now that we can't stand, we are afraid that the army will be besieged as soon as we leave the city. On the one hand, Chang'an is lost, and on the other hand, I still hope that he and the Turks will suffer both losses.
After all, the myth of Song Que's army winning every battle is enough to give Li family such confidence.
The Turks controlled 400,000 strings, and they were even more dominant and unparalleled in the world.
But these two families are enemies or potential enemies of the Li family.
