930 Great achievement in capturing and killing the enemy chief, you don't fight, I fight!
It was already expected that Yan'an Prefecture would inevitably fall sooner or later, and Li Cunzhang thought to himself again:
Your Majesty and the Emperor of Wei were in Zhao, and they hated the Khitans took advantage of the opportunity to attack our dynasty Lu Long and Zhenwu towns. They regretted that Shi Jianyan died in Tongtian Gorge, and the Hezhong Army also lost many troops and horses. They were too busy to take care of themselves. The army was determined to change its leadership, and the troops of the Dangxiang team turned to the Southern Dynasty... Now I am alone in defending the army and I will not be destined to have a robe to rescue...
Instead of defending to the last moment, instead of fighting to the point where the city is in and the city is destroyed, my sons under my command cannot waste their lives in vain. But since they can no longer defend Yan'an Prefecture, they can only save their troops as much as possible and break eastward. After all, adding more troops to support His Majesty will make it more possible to save the situation.
As for Yan, Fu and other prefectures, it is difficult to guarantee the crime of defeating the war... I should bear it myself. Compared with personal honor and disgrace, it is the top priority to reverse the current passive situation in the war!
However... Liu Xiu, the wise general of the Southern Dynasty, was already at the city, and most likely expected that I would not sit still and wait for death. Since he has always been good at using tricks and will he make arrangements in advance, he is waiting for me to step into the trap? Then if he is bound to escape from danger... in which direction should I break out?
Li Cunzhang thought about it, suddenly spoke slowly and ordered Jun Jian beside him in a hoarse voice:
"After the order was sent, the soldiers of the tribes immediately packed their equipment. The Yan'an Mansion... can no longer flow."
...It was dim and the sky was just showing a white look in the sky. The city gate on the north side of Yan'an Prefecture slowly opened. Li Cunzhang gathered the horse and infantry troops and arranged them into a tight array, and quickly rushed towards the Wei army camp stationed in the east.
Li Cunzhang decided to break through at dawn and concentrate his military strength in one direction to kill the Wei army camp. The Ya generals in Fuyan Town also had to pluck up their blood and courage as much as possible, and vowed to make a way out of life. However, the Wei army camped outside the city was also always alert and guarded. The soldiers on duty were shocked to see the soldiers and horses coming out of Yan'an Prefecture, and immediately beat the gong to warn.
Seeing that the enemy camp had dug trenches and arranged a quarreling fortress, the cavalry in front of Fuyan Town still rushed over without hesitation. When the generals and soldiers in the camp rushed over, they were about to form an iron wall to intercept the enemy camp... the Later Tang cavalry crossed the trenches, and even used the way of filling their lives to directly hit the spear that crossed the fixed spears of the Guma!
The cavalry rushing in the front, and the horses were immediately pierced by the horse-rewarded spear... But the Later Tang cavalry rushed forward one after another, which was enough to knock the horse-rewarded who was standing in front of the military camp!
Seeing the enemy cavalry rushed towards him with the murderous aura of Chongxiao, the array seemed to be shaken. The Wei army members who formed a formation to intercept the attack were also surprised by the fierce and violent power of the enemy troops in the Later Tang Dynasty who were rushing over. In order to escape from the desperate situation, the generals of the Fuyan army, who were originally trapped in the city, burst out with more fierce combat power with the momentum of the sad soldiers!
The smell of blood spread in the air, and soldiers kept rolling in a group of soldiers during the melee. Although Li Cunzhang commanded the soldiers of the Fuyan army tore a hole from the enemy array and broke through the first layer of defense, the Wei army camped north of Yan'an Prefecture were definitely not weak soldiers and generals. The two sides strangled into a group and immediately exclaimed anger. If Li Cunzhang wanted to break out of the siege, he would pave a way with dead bodies and blood!
And the military camp in the south where Liu Xiu was also heard a vague sound of killing coming from the north... In the big tent, when Liu Xiu learned that Li Cunzhang led his troops to abandon the city, he broke through to the north, he frowned and murmured:
"Li Cunzhang knew that Yan'an Prefecture would be broken sooner or later, so he would not sit still and wait for death, but he broke through from the north... the ambush plan I set up is ultimately useless."
Li Cunzhang intended to break through, which was originally within Liu Xiu's expectations. He had previously speculated that the other party might choose the direction of breaking through... He would go west and plunge into the territory of the Wei Dynasty's Ganlong rule, and go alone into the hinterland of the enemy's country, which was tantamount to seeking death; if he went north, he was already in the territory of Xia and Suizhou under the rule of Dingnan Army, which had already turned to the Wei Dynasty's Dingnan Army; if he broke through to the south, he would be in charge of the middle formation, and the elite troops of the Ya army were waiting for work, and there were heavy and light siege tools and long-range killing weapons; so Li Cunzhang was most likely to break through the east and break out of a bloody road.
After all, Yan'an Prefecture is relatively close to the Hezhong Army vassal states in the east under the rule of the Later Tang Dynasty. If Li Cunzhang wants to get rid of the enemy, he must of course return to the territory under his control as soon as possible. After all, Liu Xiu took three steps and was called a wise general who was one step and a hundred steps, so he could set up ambushes in the dangerous terrain on the east side earlier.
However, the enemy's breakthrough to the north was beyond Liu Xiu's expectations. It is estimated that Li Cunzhang also planned to break through the siege first and then turn east. Liu Xiu knew that he, Kang Yanxiao, Yan Bao, and Dangxiang Dingnan Army and other partial divisions had a total of about 80,000 troops. It is estimated that the Fuyan Town Ya Army led by Li Cunzhang himself should have more than 20,000 people. After several rounds of fierce attacks, the casualties must be quite large... However, it is indeed very likely to break through the siege by concentrating the troops in one place.
The enemy abandoned the city and retreated, easily captured Yan'an Prefecture and seized a vassal state of the enemy country. Since then, the territory of Gansu and Shaanxi has almost been under the control of the Wei Dynasty, which has become a great victory. Whether it can take the opportunity to capture and kill Li Cunzhang, a later general of Tang, seems to be whether the time is right, and it cannot be forced...
After thinking about it, Liu Xiu immediately dispatched troops to pursue him, but he also ordered him to chase him for thirty or fifty miles and then he withdrew his troops. After all, the Hezhong Army in the east was still under the territory under the Later Tang Dynasty. It was only then that the Yan'an Prefecture and even the Chuzhou Prefectures under the Fuyan Army were completely included in the Wei Dynasty, so that it would be safer.
Li Cunzhang led his fang army to fight to the death, and finally killed the camps captured by the Wei army in the north. However, the Wei army, who were chasing each other, were jogging, and cavalrymen roared from the crowd, approaching and constantly biting hard behind the cavalry troops of Li Cunzhang.
The infantry in Fuyan Town ran desperately towards the front, but in the end, they were inevitably caught up by the Wei Dynasty cavalry and chopped over. Many people were already exhausted and fell to the ground, and then they were trampled on by countless iron hooves.
However, the two trusted generals around Li Cunzhang had already apologized for their determination to die under the military order of their general. They resolutely turned around and led the cavalry to roar and kill the pursuers of Wei Chao who were in dispersed behind him!
The cavalry behind the palace, who was sacrificing his life to cover Li Cunzhang and even other comrades' retreat, hitting the Wei cavalry formation, roaring like crazy and slashing randomly, and blood splashing everywhere... With the rushing of Wei soldiers, these cavalry behind the palace were afraid that it would be difficult to save their lives in the end, but it was enough to buy precious time for their generals and robes!
The remnants of the Fuyan Army led by Li Cunzhang dragged them into a loose team and continued to run northward, leaving a long distance away from the pursuers behind him. Seeing this, the tooth soldiers who had obeyed Liu Xiu had already begun to turn around and retreat...
However, there were still cavalrymen, who were still like lightning, urging their horses to run north and chased them. They were in front of the army. The general who took the lead had a bright look and looked to the north, and said loudly:
"Li Cunzhang is a hero of Hedong. If he can capture and kill him, he will be even more successful! Brother Liu, you are good at using tricks, you are too cautious. Those who achieve great things must rely on the word "break"!
I, Kang Yanxiao, joined the army and fought in order to become famous all over the world and be famous all over the world! If you don’t win such a great achievement as killing famous generals of the Jin army, if you don’t win, then you won’t blame me for fighting!”
