- Su Lie unexpectedly attacked the entrance of Caoyutan. After Su Lie succeeded, he did not even bother to clean up the remnants of the Tang army. He ordered the 163rd Infantry Battalion of the 55th Army to sail westward, and the 164th Infantry Battalion to attack from the land. The two battalions advanced in tandem, raiding and dragon garrison. .
Although Helong garrison is only a small garrison, its location is extremely important.
This place guards the riverside road on the south bank of Tsing Yi Water, and to the north is an open impact plain. If the Ming army occupied this place, they would be able to form formations on both sides of the Qingyi River, which would be equivalent to stabbing Li Shimin in the abdomen. Moreover, occupying Helongshu and Caoba in the north is equivalent to going around behind the Mingshan defense line, which can make the Tang army's Mingshan defense line collapse without attack.
So Su Lie could not wait to fly over the mountains and seize this place.
It¡¯s a pity that Su Lie miscalculated.
He could see the importance of Helong garrison, and Li Shimin could naturally see it too. He garrisoned thousands of troops in advance to act as a two-line barrier.
Li Shimin had previously handed over the Western Front to Quan Hongshou. After all, he also believed that Quan Hongshou's defense was no problem. But after the Ming army sent troops, he heard the scouts report that there were navy soldiers among the Ming army, and Li Shimin knew that he was in trouble.
As a military master, he was very aware of the omissions in Quan Hongshou's defense of waterways, so he quickly sent a message to Quan Hongshou to prevent the Ming army from raiding by waterways.
After the messenger left, Li Shimin was still a little worried, so he personally led 5,000 troops to support Caoyutankou.
It is a pity that Li Shimin did not catch up with the battle at Caoyutankou, but he did catch up with the battle with Longshu.
The 153rd Battalion of the Ming Army rushed to Helong garrison and launched an attack here. The defenders in the city were unprepared and were beaten back repeatedly. Seeing that Helong's garrison was in danger.
At this time, the 154th Battalion had not arrived yet, and there was only the 153rd Battalion on the battlefield.
And Li Shimin's 5,000-strong army joined the battlefield. Relying on their superior strength and cooperating with the defenders inside and outside, they immediately suppressed the under-strength 153rd Battalion.
The commander-in-chief of the Ming army was Zhao Tongsheng, the deputy general of the 55th Army.
At this time, Zhao Tongsheng was very awake. The Tang army defended the city, and they fought suddenly. At this time, reinforcements from the Tang Army had arrived, and the Ming Army could no longer capture Helong garrison quickly, and any further fight would be nothing more than a waste.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? and he is in danger of being surrounded by the Tang army if he continues to fight.
So Zhao Tongsheng immediately ordered to retreat from the waterway
Zhao Tongsheng retreated in time, but Li Shimin did not have enough naval forces, so he had no choice but to watch the other party leave.
At this time, Su Lie was leading his army to clear out the remnants of the Tang army.
After Quan Hongshou was defeated, he tried to escape over the mountains. But Su Lie had already ordered the Tang army to cross the mountains from the Daping area and appear behind the Tang army.
Quan Hongshou led his troops to fight in the middle of the night, but as the war progressed, the number of Ming troops increased. Seeing that he could not break out and did not want to be captured by the Ming army, he finally chose to commit suicide.
In this battle, most of the Tang army was wiped out, and only a small number of people fled westward and survived.
When Su Lie was preparing to send troops to support He Long garrison, he received news of the 163rd Battalion's surprise attack and the defeat of Long garrison. Hearing that Li Shimin was personally leading the troops, Su Lie knew that there was little chance, and without forcing it, he ordered the three armies to garrison Wuba, clear the battlefield, stabilize the defense line, and wait for another battle.
Although Su Lie won one game, he knew that this victory was mostly a fluke. The victory was because the enemy did not understand their strength, otherwise the victory would not have been so smooth. As for Li Shimin, he knew very well that he was not a person who would suffer losses. He was definitely preparing for a full-scale counterattack, so he had to deal with it carefully.
Li Shimin and Su Lie are classmates. Although they have never been rivals, they know each other relatively well because they have been together for a long time.
Li Shimin originally thought he would face Chen Kedi, but when Su Lie came, he didn't dare to be careful.
¡°We are all trained by the same teacher, no one is worse than anyone else.
After Li Shimin arrived at Helong garrison, he immediately divided his troops to garrison at Caoba in the north to prevent the Ming army from raiding his flanks. He knew very well that if the Ming army's navy could not be effectively guarded, the Tang army would be attacked at any time, so in response to the Ming army's naval superiority, he built a number of fences and inserted them into the river as a blocker.
These fences are buried deep into the river, with about two feet above the water. Once the Ming army's ships went upstream, they would hit the fence, stop, and become targets on the shore.
In this way, the Ming Navy navy can no longer penetrate into the hinterland of Ya'an unscrupulously.
Li Shimin also ordered people to build an arrow tower on each side of the fence to control the river. The narrowest part of Qingyi Water is only 150 steps away from Helongshu. Two arrow towers on the left and right can completely block the entire Qingyi Water.
And Li Shimin went out to the Baijiaxuan area.
His defensive strategy is similar to Quan Hongshou's, it is also a frontal blockade.The wing uses terrain harassment.
But he refined his defense even more. Five trenches were dug in front of Bai's house and multiple fences were installed. Two more arrow towers were built on one side of Baijia Mountain as the commanding heights to control the overall situation.
After Su Lie ended the battle at Caoyutankou, he sent more scouts to explore northwest.
As expected, Li Shimin built Helong garrison into a fortress in less than a day.
Although Su Lie had more soldiers, he did not dare to attack him rashly. For more than thirty miles from the entrance of Caoyutan to Helongshu, there are dangerous shoals and narrow roads. Along the way, Li Shimin had countless options to ambush the Ming army.
Su Lie wanted to use the previous tactic of raiding the entrance of Caoyu Beach. The main force attacked from the waterway and landed in Caoba.
The Ming army's three thousand navy carried five thousand Lingnan native soldiers as the vanguard and headed west.
Because the Tang army had no navy to stop it, the Ming army advanced smoothly.
?Perhaps the previous battle went too smoothly and made the Ming army lose their guard. Perhaps they felt that the Tang army had no navy, so the waterways were completely under their control.
So the navy did not send forward scout ships, but moved forward headlong into the Tang Army's defense circle.
At first, the boats in front hit the fence invariably and their movement was hindered. At this time, before everyone could react, small boats suddenly appeared on both sides, connected the Ming army's large ships with hooks and ropes, and then fired rockets.
The ships in front of the Ming army were blocked, and their formation was naturally disrupted.
Without waiting for the Ming army to make adjustments, the camouflaged archery towers on both sides began to show their power.
Countless slingshots and crossbows continued to bombard the Ming army ships. From a distance of a hundred steps, you could hit it with your eyesight. Soon, Ming army ships were hit by bullets, and some even caught fire.
The Ming army began to become chaotic.
At this time, Li Shimin ordered the entire army to attack and approach the Ming army ships, preparing for a boarding battle.
The commander-in-chief of the Ming army was Yang Hongli, who had been beaten dizzy by the various tricks of the Tang army. At this time, seeing Tang troops all over the mountains and plains, they did not dare to fight anymore and directly ordered a retreat.
But in the narrow waters of Tsing Yi, there is no room for ships to maneuver, and it is not easy to turn around.
A group of boats lost their organization and fled. In panic, no one knew how many boats collided with each other, and no one knew how many people fell into the water.
The Ming army retreated hastily. Fortunately, the Tang army had no navy, otherwise the entire army would have been destroyed here
