Chapter 752 These two tiger generals are going to confront each other after all

Under the rule of Xingzhou, Yangwu Army, it was under the jurisdiction of Julu, Longgang, Neiqiu, Qingshan, Bairen, Renxian, Nanhe, Pingxiang and Shahe.

The Jiedushi Ge Congzhou personally led the main force of the vassal army, and was in charge of Shahe and stalemate against Zhou Dewei, the general of the Later Tang Dynasty. The capital was Julu, and the reinforcements led by Fu Yanchao in the capital, as well as the troops of Wang Jingren who had retreated and defended. The two cities and defenders were on guard, and they did not dare to neglect the supervision of the city defense matters.

However, in the face of the massive invasion of the Later Tang Dynasty, enemy troops had already entered the territory. It was difficult to protect all counties, towns and towns in a corner of Xingzhou.

Therefore, on the fourth day after Li Shaoqiong led his troops into Xingzhou, Pingxiang County, which was only nearly forty miles southeast of Julu, was captured by the Later Tang army. There were fierce soldiers rushing back and forth everywhere, and they were massacred in the city. The defenders were unable to stop them, and even if they wanted to seize the road and flee, they were inevitably annihilated step by step by step by step by enemy troops surrounded by all sides;

Within seven days, Ren County and Nanhe, to the west of Pingxiang County, were successively lost. Due to the relatively small casualties in the attack on Ren County, the angry soldiers of the Later Tang Dynasty, under the instigation of Li Shaoqiong, not only killed the captured enemy soldiers and beheaded the heads... They also ignited fires everywhere in the city walls, and large areas of civilian houses were burned into ruins until the end of the war, and the number of civilians who were affected and killed exponentially...

It is said that the troubled times are bloody and the war is cruel, such as Qin Zongquan, Sun Ru, Li Hanzhi, and even Zhu Wen and other atrocities of slaughtering the city are common. However, since Li Keyong took over, Hedong has not yet recorded that after breaking through the city walls, it has been necessary to carry out a massacre and eliminate the people under the rule of the enemy.

What's more, Li Cunxu now knows that he will compete with Emperor Wei Li Tianqu. He not only needs to fight wits and courage, but also develop national strength as much as possible, and then try to continuously weaken the other side through diplomatic means and strengthen his own strength... At least he should openly claim to follow the heavens and respond to the people, and his good reputation as a monarch must be reasonable.

Therefore, even if they invade the Wei Dynasty, Li Cunxu would repeatedly warn the military forces not to kill the people for no reason, otherwise they would be of bad reputation after all. Therefore, although the people in various counties and towns under Xingzhou have been affected by war, after all, after the war disasters, they have not yet reached the miserable level of "the population is cut off and the land is thousands of miles away" after the ravages of brutal warlords.

However, since the beginning of the Hedong Army, it was then transitioned to Jin State, and to the present-day military armies of the Later Tang Empire, they were by no means good men and women who did not infringe on the people and did not violate the people.

After all, when King Li Keyong of Jin was led by a rough and domineering army, he was angry by any unsightly local official and wanted to break the city walls and plunder. Even if it was a friendly army that had a harmonious relationship, the Yajun of Hedong Town would plunder the local villages along the way without any taboos. The old man Luo Hongxin and Li Keyong, who had angered Luo Shaowei, completely broke up and turned to Zhu Wen.

So until now, even though the Later Tang army would not kill the people indiscriminately and massacre the city, they would kill the territory under the rule of the enemy country, rob what should be robbed and burn what should be burned. If they really annoyed these evil soldiers and generals... they still have to kill what should be killed.

Especially when the Lord General intends to incite, the number of innocent people in Xingzhou who died in vain due to war will continue to surge.

After all, Li Shaoqiong regards human life as a mustard, and he only needs to explain it to his lord. After all, only by constantly aggravating the chaos in the Xingzhou area of ​​the Yangwu Army can we be as good as Wang Jingren, who is in Julu County, and Fu Yanchao cannot keep defending the city walls.

Pingxiang, Renxian and Nanhe three counties were successively defeated. Li Shaoqiong did not disperse his troops to defend the county and yards, but still concentrated his military forces and rushed towards Longgang County. Wherever the troops passed, they plundered and burned them, causing the mourning and devastated areas under Xingzhou, leaving only devastation...

To put it bluntly, Li Shaoqiong's army was rampant everywhere, completely acting as a mess, prompting the situation in Xingzhou to get better and better, trying to tease Ge Congzhou, who was guarding Shahe County, could not hold back. Once the main force of the Yangwu Zhenya Army moved, Zhou Dewei, the general who led the Han army of the Later Tang Dynasty, would have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation to launch a fierce attack.

However, the troops and horses that the Later Tang invaded from the West were also to take over and capture the main attacking army of Xiazhou Prefecture, the Yangwu Army.

To the south of Xingzhou, west of Linlu County, Xiangzhou, where the Wei Bo army was also placed into the Yangwu army, with thunder rolling feet and thunder, and large cavalry troops were also galloping unscrupulously in the wilderness.

In the military formation, fat and strong war horses rolled forward in rows, and the knights rode on the horses from time to time to listen to the call from the generals around him. The formation roared like thunder, and the solemn murderous aura of the long-standing battle formation was also exuding the senses of the long-standing battle formation, and the senses also brought people a strong impact.

A group of sharp cavalry that seemed very fierce and nimble, Shi Jianyan, who is now the general of the vanguard army and the horse army, urged the horse to gallop, and his eyebrows were still showing a heroic spirit. Before, he rushed south, but found that the Wei army had taken the lead to Luzhou, and he was unable to fight at the city for a while, but he could not fight... This also made Shi Jianyan feel angry, and now he finally had the chance to vent his anger.

After all, they had to restrain the enemy before, and the other Paoze tribes went south to try to rescue Pei Yue, the general of Jin who was guarding Zezhou and refused to surrender to the Wei Dynasty... So Shi Jianyan knew that he had to watch the enemy troops of the Wei State entering Luzhou and the movements of the rebels in Zhaoyi Town, and it was indeed not advisable to move lightly.

However, the capital of Zezhou has been captured by the Yangwu Army, and Pei Yue died in battle. Now, if he wants to immediately capture the Zhaoyi army, which was rebelled by the traitor Li Jitao, the time is still not yet ripe.

After the Emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty, Li Cunxu and Guo Chongtao and other counselors, he immediately issued a quick military order, informing all the armies and adjusting the main attack direction. The Southern Dynasty took our Zhaoyi army, and I wanted to seize his Yangwu army. What's more, since it was the Zezhou capital that Ge Congzhou in Yangwu Town, Yangwu, so he concentrated his military strength and launched a siege on the territory of the vassal states under his command.

This is considered as eye for eye, tooth for tooth!

After Shi Jianyan received the order, he immediately led his horse and infantry to set off, and rushed to the boundary of Xiangzhou, which was adjacent to Luzhou to the east.

Shi Jianyan led his troops to march in an emergency. At this time, Linlu County, located at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, located at the junction of Henan, Jin and Hebei provinces, was only more than twenty miles away. Linlu County belongs to the county and yards in the western part of Xiangzhou. Shi Jianyan knew that if he could break through Tangyin, Linzhang, and even Anyang, where the Xiangzhou capital was located, and then headed north, and the way was taken down by Zhou Dewei. Then the two Later Tang military brigades met at Shahe City and tried to defeat the famous general who was famous in the Southern Dynasty. Naturally, they would have more confidence.

However, before he could reach Linlu City, Shi Jianyan led his army to a foothills. However, he saw the mountains ahead, with heavy peaks and mountain roads covered with lush dense forests. After looking at it, he felt that the scenery here was very beautiful.

"The mountains here... are Linlu Mountain west of Linlu County?"

Shi Jianyan looked around and murmured first. He then shouted loudly. Although he was not far from Linlu County, he ordered his horse and infantry to stop moving, as if he had other plans.

The cavalry general Zhang Wanjin, who led his troops to fight with Shi Jianyan, immediately urged him to step forward, and asked Shi Jianyan with some confusion:
Chapter completed!
