Chapter 661 Silver Hammer!(2/2)
News of the loss of Shangdang County reached Xiacheng, Chang'ancheng, Heluo and Guanzhong earthquakes!
The Xia army had never experienced such a defeat. Xiacheng and Chang'ancheng were in panic.
Fortunately, Heluo and Guanzhong are the two areas that Zhang Hua has managed for the longest time. The people's hearts and public security are extremely high, and there will be no rebellion due to the loss of Shangdang County.
Cao Gui led 100,000 soldiers to meet Duan Shao, Gao Changgong and Peng Le's remaining soldiers who fled here in Heyang City.
The Northern Qi army originally had 200,000 soldiers, but lost 70,000 people in Bailishi and 40,000 when they retreated. When they arrived in Heyang City, less than 100,000 soldiers were left.
The fact that the famous general Duan Shao and Gao Changgong of the Northern Qi Dynasty were able to push the Tang army to this point can be seen from this.
After joining Cao Gui's 100,000 troops, Duan Shao's military force barely recovered to 200,000.
"Although we are newly defeated, we cannot wait for death at this time. Li Shimin's goal is Guanzhong rather than Heluo. We must restrain Li Shimin as much as possible before King Xia returns to the army. We have 200,000 troops in our hands, so we can act as a way to regain Shangdang County and restrain some of the Tang army to Shangdang, so that it cannot attack Guanzhong with all its strength."
As one of the three generals of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Duan Shao was one of the best in both military use and wisdom.
Even though he lost to Li Shimin and lost Shangdang County, Duan Shao's mind was still clear about what he wanted to do.
Cao Gui conspired with Duan Shao: "In addition to our troops, we can also try to get Liu Xiu's Han army into this muddy water, which distracts Li Shimin."
Lanling King was puzzled: "Liu Xiu clearly wanted to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. Before Li Shimin was severely injured, Liu Xiu should not send troops easily. How can he get Liu Xiu involved in this muddy water?"
Cao Gui's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light: "Liu Xiu and Li Shimin are not allies, and the two sides are balanced, so they are in peace. Once Li Shimin captures Shangdang County and Hedong County, their power will expand rapidly and they have hope of taking Guanzhong. How could Liu Xiu stand by and watch? Even if Liu Xiu does not send troops, we will make people dress up as Han troops and attack Li Shimin's territory. Will Li Shimin be surprised and leave a team of elite troops to guard against Liu Xiu?"
"It's amazing."
Duan Shao couldn't help but look at Cao Gui.
Cao Gui debated the battle. As a famous general of Lu, he had a very strong strategy and tried every means to restrain Li Shimin's main force of the Tang army.
Even if Liu Xiu's Han army did not intervene in the war, Cao Gui would send troops to disguise himself as the Han army, creating the illusion that Liu Xiu's Han army attacked Shangdang.
War is a treacherous way.
In order to win, Cao Gui used all kinds of means.
In Nanyang County, Xie Xuan, the first generation of the Northern Army commander of the Northern Army, and Liu Yu, the third generation of the Northern Army commander of the Northern Army commander, fought a great battle in the Jingshui River.
Xie Xuan's forward general Liu Laozhi confronted Liu Yu's forward general Tan Daoji in advance.
Both of them were famous generals from the Northern Mansion Army, which was equivalent to a civil war between the Northern Mansion Army!
Two identical Northern Army fights, dyeing the water red!
Liu Lao was surrounded by Tan Daoji's plan to attack the east and west, and was besieged by Tan Daoji. All around him were the Northern Mansion Army that Liu Laozhi was familiar with. However, this Northern Mansion Army was not the Northern Mansion Army that Liu Laozhi was familiar with, but the Northern Mansion Army of the later famous general Tan Daoji!
"The Great Wall is standing!"
Tan Daoji shouted angrily, his Northern Palace troops were shoulder to shoulder, connected with each other's momentum, and a black aura filled with it, like the Great Wall!
At this moment, Tan Daoji's Northern Mansion Army formed a black defensive field, and its defense power was greatly improved!
Not only that, Tan Daoji's Northern Army and the adjacent soldiers were able to share some of the damage they suffered!
"The young man is so terrifying."
Liu Laozhi was besieged by Tan Daoji, a famous general in later generations. Tan Daoji's Northern Palace Army is comparable to the Great Wall. It is also the Northern Palace Army, and Liu Laozhi needs to suffer greater casualties!
"Facts have proved that New Taipei Prefecture is stronger than Old Taipei Prefecture. Gao Aocao, you will capture Liu Laozhi alive."
