- Lingzhou, a pearl on the Jiuqu Yellow River, borders the Loess Plateau to the east, leans on the Yellow River and rests on the Helan River. It has always been a city that protects itself from the outside but not the inside.
Huang Mingliao detoured into the hinterland of Lingzhou from the east and immediately opened up a new world.
Most of the troops under Huang Mingliao are cavalry that travel across deserts and snowfields. In terms of toughness and combat effectiveness, they are not comparable to the Lingzhou soldiers.
The Sui army crossed Anlechuan and attacked Huile County, killing Liang Li immediately.
The six counties in Lingzhou are all built along the Yellow River, and the cities are relatively concentrated. The land in each county basically spreads outward with the Yellow River as the center.
In other words, the pastures and cultivated lands attached to each county are on the outside, and there is no city defense.
The three counties in Hexi were better off. After all, they had Helan Mountain and the Yellow River as barriers, but Huile County in the east could only watch the Sui army wreak havoc.
The Sui army had many cavalrymen, galloping back and forth, and soon blocked the entire road east of Lingzhou. And it is May, the season for harvesting summer grain.
These grains, which were full of expectations for the winter, fell into the hands of the Sui people.
Seeing that Liang Li was unable to do so, he allowed the Sui army to attack from all sides, which was really damaging to morale. Moreover, the main purpose of border prefectures and counties is defense. Places like Lingzhou and Fengzhou often rely on the support of the central government.
In the past two years, the central government has been unable to control Lingzhou, and since there is no support, we can only rely on ourselves for everything.
In order to maintain his rule, Liang Li maintained a standing army of nearly 30,000 people. Lingzhou's army is no ordinary army. The number of horses far exceeds that of the mainland.
These days, horses are much more expensive than people.
"If we lose this season's summer food, Lingzhou's 30,000 troops and hundreds of thousands of people will never survive this winter.
The Sui army not only seized their summer grain, but also restricted the people of Lingzhou from leaving the city. The people in Lingzhou can do whatever they want, but they can't do farm work.
"The people can't harvest this summer's grain, nor can they grow their autumn grain. Lingzhou City can only watch and wait to die."
If you are counting on the Chang'an imperial court to rescue you, you are thinking too much. The current Chang'an imperial court can't even control yourself.
There was a cry of mourning in Lingzhou City.
Liang Li was so angry that Huang Mingliao wanted to force him to death.
There is no way, the Sui army has seized his lifeline, and he can't even think of attacking.
It is necessary to limit the arrogance of the Sui army's cavalry and seize food from the Sui army.
So Liang Li sent out all the Lingzhou cavalry to pursue the Hexi cavalry moving in all directions. Even if they could not be annihilated, they would be defeated and driven away.
Sure enough, these Lingzhou cavalry moved quickly and attacked the Hexi cavalry in all directions from the city.
Originally, this was a good opportunity to severely defeat the Lingzhou cavalry, but Huang Mingliao strictly ordered all tribes not to fight with the Lingzhou army. Once attacked by the Lingzhou cavalry, they would retreat immediately. After the Lingzhou cavalry retreats, they will return to the mission area.
The generals were puzzled, and Huang Mingliao did not explain.
After that, an interesting scene happened outside Lingzhou City.
ãá reduce .*co m ãá. The Lingzhou cavalry continued to attack from all sides, while Huang Mingliao's cavalry kept going in circles with the opponent.
When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we advance; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack.
Huang Mingliao¡¯s army has many barbarian cavalry, and their cavalry control skills are not comparable to those of Fengzhou and Lingzhou soldiers. Therefore, the Lingzhou Army kept tossing back and forth, exhausted, but could never catch up with the Hexi Cavalry. And every time they are too dispersed, there is a possibility of being surrounded and annihilated by the opponent.
After fighting like this for several days, even though the Shenwu Guards took him in, Lingzhou also lost nearly eight or nine hundred cavalry. The key is that Lingzhou did not change the previous situation at all.
Such a big loss really made Liang Li feel bad.
You must know that the total number of cavalry in Lingzhou is only four to five thousand, and the loss of eight to nine hundred cavalry, accounting for about one-fifth of Lingzhou's cavalry, can be said to be a serious injury.
The Lingzhou Army suffered such heavy losses that the cavalry who were ordered to attack again were a little afraid. Anyone who sees such a strange fighting style of the enemy and sees only losses but no results will be frightened.
Later, when they sent troops out of the city, some people were killed and refused to leave.
The entire army in the city began to panic.
Liang Li knew that it would never work if things continued to develop like this. The hearts of the soldiers and the people are all lost, and there is no need to wait for winter to come. It won't be long before someone will choose to trade their heads with the Sui army in exchange for a future.
Liang Li decided to take the initiative and fight Huang Mingliao.
Chang Shi Yang Ze did not agree with this. He did not think that Lingzhou had a peaceful relationship with him.?The cost of a war. If you hold on to the city, you may not be able to win, let alone in a field battle.
But for the current situation in Lingzhou, Yang Ze has no good solution.
Liang Li thought about it and finally decided to fight the Hexi Army.
Liang Li had been in Lingzhou for a long time and had fought against barbarians and suppressed bandits, so he was quite proud of the Lingzhou army. In his opinion, the reason for the previous dissatisfaction was not that the Lingzhou Army was not good at fighting, but that most of Huang Ming's Liao Army were barbarians who were good at riding and shooting, and used despicable tactics, so he did not dare to fight with them. This made it difficult for the Lingzhou Army to defeat the enemy.
¡°But if it¡¯s a field battle with real swords and guns, the Lingzhou Army won¡¯t be afraid of anyone.
牺如 bxwx.co 牺如。As long as Huang Mingliao is defeated, Lingzhou¡¯s crisis will not only be completely resolved, but his prestige will also be greatly enhanced. . So Liang Li ignored everyone's advice and insisted on fighting this battle.
For this reason, Liang Li also ordered Liang Xuanli, who was in Xiashi, to lead his troops back to Lingzhou City.
Liang Xuanli's garrison at Xia Shi has lost its effectiveness. It is better to return to Lingzhou to strengthen the army.
But this matter was immediately opposed by Duan Decao, the commander-in-chief of the march.
Duan Decao was a native of Wuwei and the son of Duan Shao, a famous general in the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Who is Duan Shao? The first of the "Three Heroes of the Northern Qi Dynasty", Hu Luguang, the governor of Luodiao, and Gao Changgong, the king of Lanling, followed him.
Duan Decao surrendered to Li Yuan when Li Yuan occupied Guanzhong. However, the situation in Guanzhong became tense later, and Duan Decao, a man who was not usually valued by Li Yuan, was appointed as the general manager of the Lingyan Road March and was responsible for recruiting troops in the Lingzhou area.
Duan Decao, the commander-in-chief of the march, only has a name and no rights at all. Duan Decao has no one, no money and no territory, so how can he recruit troops?
But he couldn't go back, so he had to stay with Liang Li and temporarily become a pseudo-imperial minister.
Regarding Liang Li's order, Duan Decao believed that the Sui army was in the dark and they had the advantage in the light. Moreover, the Sui army's cavalry was good at fighting and was numerous. Once Liang Xuanli was ambushed by the Sui army on his way back to the army, the consequences would be disastrous.
Mi He Mi. Liang Li didn't think so.
It is less than sixty miles from Xiashi to Lingzhou City, and you can return to the city in one day of urgent march. Liang Xuanli holds five thousand troops and is a veteran general. Even if something happens, Lingzhou will have time to support him.
Duan Decao believes that it is one thing to arrive in time, but it is another thing to succeed.
Not to mention sixty miles, if the Sui army blocked them forcefully, even one mile would be impossible. The cavalry in the brigade is no joke.
Although Duan Decao tried his best, his identity was already embarrassing. How could Liang Li listen to him? So despite Duan Decao's efforts to dissuade him, Liang Li decided to let Liang Xuanli lead his army to withdraw
