- Li Yuan prepared for an organized retreat, but the Sui army on the opposite side may not go as he wished.
In fact, from the Battle of Qianshuiyuan to the step-by-step plans for Tongzhou, Tongguan, Lingzhou and other places, the Sui army had already deduced it countless times. Whether it was Huang Mingyuan or the following Zhang Wenyuan, Liu Yunfang and others, they had already planned Li Yuan's possible plans. The reaction was calculated.
Huang Mingyuan knew that Li Shimin would definitely be defeated in Qianshuiyuan and lost a battle that should have been won. This was the advantage of a prophet.
It can be said that since Li Shimin's defeat of Qianshuiyuan, the game that Huang Mingyuan has laid out for decades has finally begun to officially proceed. So far, every step in the process is being implemented according to Huang Mingyuan's plan.
It can be said that Li Yuan and his son have been fighting history. They not only lost to Huang Mingyuan, but also lost to the history books.
So when Li Yuan moved, Zhang Wenyuan and Liu Yunfang on the opposite side also started to move.
In order to deal with Li Yuan, Huang Mingyuan deployed various armies distributed in seven or eight battlefields. In this era of inconvenient transportation and information, such a dispersed battlefield environment is simply fatal.
It¡¯s very possible that your side is still waiting to attack, while the other side has already retreated.
Therefore, in order to ensure that all battlefields are connected together, Huang Mingyuan spent great efforts to build three intelligence networks.
One is the information network along the Yellow River and Qingshui River, from Yan'an County to Longmen, Puban, and Tongguan. This information network is used both on land and water.
Due to inconvenient transportation, Huang Mingyuan built a temporary beacon fort every twenty miles along the Yellow River from Fenglingdu to Yonghe County, Longquan County for hundreds of miles. A total of more than thirty were built to facilitate the communication of information.
Once something happens, by lighting different numbers of beacons, different messages can be transmitted hundreds of miles away in less than a day.
The other one is from the border between Yanchuan County and Lingzhou, leading directly to Yanzhou.
The third line is from the borders of Honghua County and Jingzhou, Yuanzhou and Ningzhou, going west through Shangjun to Hukou Mountain.
These two roads are a combination of land roads and beacon roads, and finally connect to the first road.
Therefore, the news that Huang Mingyuan occupied Lingzhou and Yuanzhou was quickly delivered to Zhang Wenyuan and Liu Yunfang.
In the wasteland north of Yuanzhou, Huang Mingyuan established dozens of post stations, equipped with fast horses and skilled post soldiers.
Huang Mingliao captured Yuanzhou City, and the news traveled across the wasteland and was quickly delivered to Fangqucheng, Honghua County (now Huanxian County, Gansu Province). Then follow the Maling River directly to Honghua County, and then use the combination of beacon fire and fast horse to deliver it to Huang Mingzheng of Shangjun. Then use the fast horse to report to Hukou Mountain. Finally, the beacon fire along the east bank of the Yellow River was delivered to Zhang Wenyuan and Liu Yunfang.
In addition to the time spent in Longshan and across Guanzhong, there is almost a big difference between the two when Huang Mingli will arrive in Chang'an City.
牺 如   s h c a d . c 牺 如 & On the day, the two also began to prepare for the attack.
The two of them were not so sure about this matter, but when troops from Tongzhou City began to build a pontoon bridge on the Luoshui River, they became sure.
Li Yuan wanted to escape.
The only thing that could make Li Yuan escape in such a hurry was Huang Mingliao's attack on Chang'an.
It can be said that at this time, the trump cards of both sides have basically been revealed, and what is left is the confrontation between the strengths of both sides.
Li Yuan wanted to build a bridge over the Luoshui River, but the Sui army would certainly not go as planned.
ãá minus 75zhongw*e n.c om* ãá. In order to block the construction of the Tang army, Liu Yunfang ordered Wang Junkuo to lead the cavalry troops from the north to the west of Tongzhou City to harass the Tang army who was building the bridge.
On the upper reaches of Luoshui River, more than ten fire ships were set up, loaded with saltpeter and fire oil. After being lit, they rushed to the unfinished pontoon bridge of the Tang army.
Soon smoke and dust billowed, and the pontoon bridge was set on fire, even extending to the shore. The Tang troops who repaired the bridge were either burned to death or fell into the water, suffering heavy casualties.
Wang Zhou then stood on the pontoon and blocked the iron cable to block the fire ship.
But this was of no use. It just allowed the Sui army to increase the number of fireships. The Qianxun iron locks in the Yangtze River couldn't stop the fire, let alone this temporary chain.
Wang Zhou thought of many ways after that, but he still failed to build the pontoon bridge.
Li Yuan also kept frowning when he heard Wang Zhou's report. Obviously, the Sui army prevented them from building the pontoon bridge in order to trap them here.
The Sui army on the opposite side already knew the news about the crisis in Chang'an, and also knew that Li Yuan already knew the news about the crisis in Chang'an.
Li Yuan understands that the more this happens, the more necessary it is to retreat, no matter how much effort it takesThe energy has to go.
So in order to cover Wang Zhuan's bridge construction, Li Yuan sent cavalry to attack north to prevent the Sui army from approaching Luoshui.
But this is exactly what the Sui army wanted.
The total strength of the Sui army may not be as good as that of Li Tang, but the number of cavalry far exceeds that of the opponent.
Li Yuan wanted to engage in a cavalry battle, so he used his shortcomings to overcome his strengths. The two sides fought several battles in the north of Tongzhou City, all of which ended in Li Tang's defeat.
Li Tang not only failed to break the Sui army's harassment of the bridge-building troops, but suffered heavy losses.
Li Yuan had no choice but to withdraw the cavalry sent out. What if this little family fortune is ruined? The Sui army had a large number of war horses, and they could replenish them if they ran out. Li Tang had no place to raise horses or a fixed source of horses, but the cavalry was missing every death. He also pointed at this group of people to cover the breakout.
After that, Li Yuan prepared for a decisive battle with the Sui army, at least to contain the Sui army first, so that the Sui army could no longer be left alone in Tongzhou.
So Li Yuan set up his position in the west of Tongzhou City, relying on the city, and set up a large formation to meet the enemy. Although Li Tang had more than half of the new soldiers, they were large in number and backed by the city, so their strength was not weak.
Even if you don¡¯t win, you won¡¯t be defeated.
But what Li Yuan did not expect was that the Sui army would not fight at all.
The Tang army formed a formation, and the Sui army was watching from the opposite side, and even took a step back to leave enough space for the Tang army. As for the main force of the Sui army, they were hanging on to the no-war card and could not survive.
Li Yuan was itching his teeth with hatred, but he didn't dare to catch up.
Li Yuan¡¯s family knew this well. With the large number of troops under his command, no more than half of the 60,000 recruits could be used. There is some use in defending the city and fighting a dull war. If it is a mobile war, there is no need for the Sui army to attack. Just hearing the sound of the trumpet will make your feet weak.
Li Yuan didn¡¯t want to have tens of thousands of people flee as soon as the war started. This would hurt morale and could easily lead to a reversal of the situation.
A decisive battle ended in vain.
Zhang Wenyuan and Liu Yunfang knew very well that when the battle reached this point, the Sui army had already occupied an absolute advantage. There was no need to fight Li and Tang in every battlefield. They only needed to squeeze the survival of the Tang army on each battlefield bit by bit. If you have space, you can win without fighting.
Mi He 75zhongwen.com Mi. If the decisive battle is rash, once defeated, it will give the opponent a chance to turn defeat into victory.
So the Tongzhou battlefield formed a situation of "continuous small battles and no big battles". In terms of individual combat effectiveness, the Sui army surpassed Li and Tang.
Li Yuan was ashamed and annoyed, and felt very worried.
But soon a shocking news came from the south, Xiagui was lost. Qu Tutong, who was besieging Yongfeng Cangcheng, sent Quan Xu to lead 5,000 troops across the Wei River, crossed the Shayuan, and attacked the empty Xiagui City directly, cutting off Li Yuan's return route
