Chapter 726 Take Zezhou, my adopted son is also very promising
After experiencing this war, the Yinan Khitan led by Li Shaobin and Li Yanshou also lost nearly 30% of their troops and horses, and had to use the cavalry and shooting tactics used by their subordinates, intending to attract Gao Xingzhou to chase them and to defraud the enemy's strength. When the troops who were invading the Later Tang Dynasty came one after another, they would try to attack the Wei Dynasty's army.
However, Gao Xingzhou pursued for a while and then retreated back to Zezhou. After all, the purpose of this war was to annihilate the army of Pei Yue who occupied Danchuan, the capital. As long as the city was broken, the Zhao Yi army would be completely included in the Wei Dynasty camp. Gao Xingzhou knew that there was no need to be led by the Khitan cavalry who were good at harassing cavalry and shooting.
The army of the Later Tang Dynasty was unable to rush to Danchuan, Zezhou in time, and the city walls that Pei Yue guarded were already shaking. In fact, the city gate was finally lost, and the large Wei army had entered the city, which was much faster than Li Cunxu's estimate...
There were corpses everywhere in several city gates in Danchuan. Not long after Li Cunxu became emperor, a large flag embroidered with the word Tang embroidered in the city gate tower had just hung in front of the city gate tower, and fell down. On the flag that replaced it, the big Wei word embroidered.
Pei Yue, the tooth general of Zhaoyi's army who was unwilling to follow Li Jitao's surrender to Wei, had several wounds on his body, and was engaged in fierce street fighting under the escort of nearly a thousand soldiers.
The soldiers on both sides fought to the death, and the soldiers in the blood fell down one by one. However, among the teeth soldiers gathered around Pei Yue, no one wanted to find a way to escape, but fought to the death. Moreover, they had no way to retreat. No matter in front, behind, on the left and right, there were Wei troops shouting and rushing up everywhere.
Even though he was hit by a hammer on his left arm, Pei Yue's entire left arm had completely drooped, and the blood holes behind him were slammed by a spear, and even the knife wounds between his waist and abdomen were still gushing out... But Pei Yue still had his blood-filled eyes, and kept turning his head to glar at the enemy surrounding him... However, Danchuan City could not be saved after all, and he was also very curious about which enemy general was commanding the siege...
Because in recent days, the Wei Dynasty's military attacks have adopted tactics such as striking the east and attacking the west, avoiding the void and real, which has made the soldiers under their command lose sight of each other. Every time, they can successfully induce the military to judge the enemy's main attack direction, which has caused a large number of soldiers to climb up to the top of the city gate on the other side to climb to the top of the city. Even if they fought hard and barely repelled several rounds of fierce attacks, the defenders of the Later Tang in Danchuan City have to pay a heavy price... and until today, they can't stand it anymore.
Pei Yuexin said that even if he was not a good general, he had been influenced by the Hedong general Li Sizhao for many years, and had rich experience and knowledge on the battlefield. So he could also see that most of the Wei troops who joined the siege battle were well-trained, with strict and orderly advancement and retreat, and the soldiers were also very brave and good at fighting... The Ya army, which commanded less than 10,000 people, fought to the death and repelled several rounds of fierce attacks, was indeed the limit.
The opponent's general commanded the army with good command, and always accurately sensed the flaws of the defending army, immediately seized the opportunity, quickly adjusted the direction of the main attack, resulting in the defenders in Danchuan City suffering a lot of casualties... Pei Yue vaguely realized that the opponent he confronted this time seemed to be not inferior to the generals he had always admired in terms of his decisive combat, decisive and rapid tactics, and even better than Li Sizhao.
In such a situation, we will turn the tide unless the Lord reborn... It’s a pity that we are born and die for Hedong. As the Lord leads the Zhaoyi Army, we will eventually be taken by the Southern Dynasty!
Pei Yue thought with resentment in his heart, and almost every one of the nearly 100 soldiers gathered around him was bloodshot and waved the weapons in his hands like crazy... However, in the melee of few enemies and more, all the weapons around him were siege like storms. With only the fierce and unafraid of death, he was inevitably defeated and died because he was outnumbered.
At present, the government offices, Cangtan and three city gates in Danchuan City have been occupied by the Wei Dynasty army. The small group of defeated soldiers led by Pei Yue even fell to death under the impact of the crowd, and had to withdraw from the city gate to the east.
The Danchuan, the capital of Zezhou, was named after the Dan River in its territory. Pei Yue and his soldiers were chased by a large number of enemy troops who were rushing over and retreated to an arch bridge built on the Dan River outside the Dongmen City.
The arch bridge faces this side of Danchuan City, and the heads of Wei Dynasty soldiers are surging. At their feet, the broken limbs and broken arms of the soldiers guarding the city are covered with the ground. On the other side of the arch bridge, Pei Yue glared at him and saw many groups standing neatly, and rows of swords and guns were erected in the ranks, which also exuded a sense of murderous intent.
Pei Yue also saw that there was a general standing in front of the huge army on the side with a long spear and standing solemnly. Although there was still a certain distance between them, Pei Yue could still see the man's handsome and majestic appearance, and he seemed to have a shrewd and capable demeanor. The enemy general was wearing well-made top-class armor and his appearance was obviously a person with a very high status in the Wei Dynasty army.
Seeing the font size on the military flag standing behind the enemy general, Pei Yue smiled miserably and immediately said with a hissing:
"It turned out to be the Yangwu Army of the Southern Dynasty... I heard that Ge Congzhou, who was in charge of that vassal state, was also one of the most famous martial arts under the command of Emperor Wei. It turned out that it was him, and it was no wonder that he could break through Danchuan so quickly, it was only hateful... If the general was still alive..."
This time, in accordance with the will of Li Tianqu, the commander of the vassal army, and to capture the adjacent Zhaoyi army's general in Zezhou as soon as possible. It was indeed Ge Congzhou, the founding father of the Wei Dynasty. He looked calm and looked at Pei Yue on the arch bridge and even the number of soldiers around him, and after a moment of silence, he said loudly:
"Zezhou, where Danchuan City is located, is known as the gateway of Pinghan, Hedong and the Three Jins. It is not only the key to the border between Jin and Henan, but also the gateway for Jin to go south to the Central Plains. Since it is also a place that military strategists must fight, and Li Jiedu, Zhaoyi Army, was willing to join our dynasty. If someone interferes with it, it will inevitably be eliminated!
Now the Jin people are usurping the title and being called the Tang court, and they openly break up with our dynasty. They are no longer friendly countries. If you insist on resisting our army, you can only destroy them. And the general of the Zhaoyi Zhenya, Pei Yue, is worthy of being a loyal and martyr's general. Since you have launched a mutiny and are unwilling to surrender to our dynasty, and insist on resisting to the end, I believe that even if the city is broken, you are still unwilling to surrender, right?"
Pei Yue sneered when he heard this, tried his best to lift his strength, and shouted loudly:
"Not bad! I have already put aside my words before. If the Southern Dynasty soldiers want to occupy Danchuan, Zezhou, unless they step over the corpse of my subordinates! Even if they fight to the last person, they would rather die in the battlefield at the last moment and live in the world! Otherwise, how could they have the face to meet the general in the nine fountains?
It’s a pity that the general is wise and loyal and virtuous for my Tang Dynasty, but the rebellious son under his knees wants to surrender to the Southern Dynasty! Ge Congzhou, even if I have heard of your name, don’t be proud! Your Majesty, my wise and powerful magnanimous, will not only regain the lost land sooner or later, but one day, he will surely be able to cross the Yellow River and dominate the Central Plains!"
Ge Congzhou heard Pei Yue shouting loudly, but there was no anger on his face. There seemed to be a bit of praise in his eyes. He nodded again and replied loudly:
"The ancients said that life has death, and death is what we hate. You are also a loyal and righteous person, but you are the masters of each on the battlefield, and you should decide life and death. Since General Pei planned to seek benevolence and be kind, I will fulfill you."
Ge Congzhou Fang shouted loudly, and a horse walked out of the array, and the young general riding on the horse immediately said:
"Entertaining father, since the general of Jin is determined not to surrender, I will take his life."
"...Pei Yue can also bear the word "loyalty and wise", but after all, each of them is their own master. When they meet in the killing formation, they will only be enemies with us. But even if they need to kill this person, let him die happily..."
"Yes! A soldier can be killed but not humiliated, so the child will naturally know."
