In Chang'an City!
Nearly a thousand heads fell to the ground at the same time, and the storm that was originally hidden in the dark in Chang'an City suddenly calmed down.
After noticing this scene, Yang Jian couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction. Although taking such a radical approach will inevitably have some hidden dangers in the future, at least for now, it seems that doing so is the most beneficial to him.
However, before Yang Jian could start to be happy, a piece of shocking news came. After this news came, Yang Jian was so angry that he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
Pubanjin was lost, and after Xiaoguan, Chang'an was once again breached. Now, gaps have been opened in both the east and west of Yongzhou. Under enemy attacks from both sides, Yongzhou is really in danger this time.
Since ancient times, the Hedong area has been a strategic buffer area between the Guanzhong Plain and the Luoyang area. Chang'an and Luoyang were the political centers of dynasty before the Han and Tang Dynasties. Sandwiched between these two political centers, the importance of Hedong is naturally not the same. It goes without saying.
When the Hedong forces attacked the Guanzhong Plain, there were three routes to choose from: crossing the Yellow River from Longmendu, crossing the Yellow River from Pubanjin, and crossing the Yellow River from Fenglingdu.
When mentioning Fenglingdu, more people may think of the story of the first encounter between Guo Xiang and Yang Guo written by Mr. Jin Yong in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
When we first met at Fengling Ferry, we missed Yang Guo for the rest of our lives. I only regret that my mother-in-law is already old, and I miss my old friend on the cliff with my broken heart.
Fenglingdu actually exists on the bank of the Yellow River. At the same time, it is across the river from Tongguan, and the distance is very close. If you choose to march from Fenglingdu, you will have to face a problem that has to be solved.
The area where Tongguan is located does not have a large plain buffer area, which also means that once the army attacks Tongguan from Fenglingdu, it will not be able to find a foothold for joint efforts. Instead, the entire army will be in chaos due to the blockage in the front. If it is not done well, not only will it not be able to pose a threat to the enemy, but it will be caught off guard by the enemy.
Therefore, to Fenglingdu, Tongguan is actually a steel plate in front of the house, which cannot be kicked or kicked.
The Longmen Crossing on the other route is because of its location to the north. In many cases, the forward army may have been defeated before the army approaches the Guanzhong Plain, and few people will choose to march through this route.
When fighting with large corps, it is extremely taboo to stretch the front line too long. This will not only fail to cause an effective blow to the Guanzhong area, but also disintegrate the combat effectiveness of one's own army to a great extent.
From this point of view, Pubanjin is undoubtedly the most important ferry crossing. Attacking from here, Hedong's military forces can enter the hinterland of the Guanzhong Plain in the shortest possible time and disintegrate the ruling power of the Guanzhong Plain.
In fact, Wang Meng did mainly choose to break through Guanzhong from the direction of Pubanjin.
In Pubanjin, Yang Jian deployed 5,000 elite troops, and later transferred 8,000 county soldiers as support.
It's not that Yang Jian doesn't want to mobilize more troops here. Although there are not more elites, there are still some county soldiers and even new recruits. However, Pubanjin is only a small ferry after all, and the number of troops it can accommodate is limited.
Moreover, under normal circumstances, depending on the geographical location, this part of the force is enough to prevent the enemy from crossing the river.
On that day, Wang Meng adopted the strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain and sent Huang Feihu and ten thousand cavalry to pretend to cross the river at Longmen Ferry.
After receiving the news, Pu Banjin's guardian guard was shocked. Although he still had doubts in his heart, if the enemy really wanted to cross Longmen Ferry secretly, how could they let them easily receive the news. Therefore, when thinking about Laihuer, there must be some fraud involved.
However, Longmen Crossing was in danger, so Lai Huer had to respond. He had to send his deputy Yang Fan to lead 2,000 elite cavalry and 3,000 county soldiers to rush forward to guard Longmen Crossing.
If these five thousand people were fighting in the field, they would naturally not be able to withstand the several charges of ten thousand cavalry. They would be easily crushed by the cavalry led by Huang Feihu. But if we just rely on the geographical location, it is not difficult to defend a ferry.
After that, Lai Huer kept increasing his vigilance to prevent the enemy from having any plans and preventing any problems from happening here in Pubanjin.
However, Wang Meng's method of inducing the tiger to leave the mountain was not so simple. Wang Meng's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain was a conspiracy, and he had no reason to protect his son from falling into the trap.
The key point of Wang Meng's plan is time, and he must grasp the time of both parties. When Yang Fan arrived with his troops, Huang Feihu happened to lead a small group of vanguard soldiers across the ferry.
At this time, although the enemy had already crossed the ferry, there were not many soldiers who had crossed over. If the enemy's foothold was not stable, there was still a good chance to recapture the ferry.
However, Huang Feihu was brave and good at fighting. Even though there were not many troops crossing the crossing at this time, he still held on tenaciously at the crossing to cover the troops crossing the river later.
Yang Fan wanted to rely on his own strength to kill Huang Feihu and completely recapture the ferry. However, due to his lack of strength, not only did he fail to kill Huang Feihu, but he was almost killed on the spot by Huang Feihu.
And in the next few battles, Longmendu was in danger.
In desperation, Yang Fan had no choice but to send someone to explain the situation here to Lai Hu'er, and asked Lai Hu'er to send troops for support. After some brief thought, Lai Huer finally agreed to Yang Fan's request and once again sent 3,000 troops to support Yang Fan.
Judging from the current situation, the enemy's offensive at Longmendu is so fierce, I am afraid that the enemy really regards Longmendu as the main crossing direction.
After two divisions of troops, Pu Banjin's military strength at this time had dropped to five thousand.
Not long after Lai Hu'er once again divided his troops towards Longmendu, Han Shizhong's navy suddenly came out, and Lai Hu'er, who was under-strength, was immediately killed and caught off guard.
This Lai Hu'er is not the Lai Hu'er who was killed by Luo Shixin in the storytelling, but the famous general Hu'er of the Sui Dynasty who went on three expeditions to Goguryeo, put down Yang Xuangan's rebellion, and rose to the rank of General Zuo Yiwei.
Although Han Shizhong's killing came very suddenly, fortunately, Lai Huer had made a lot of preparations in advance because of his doubts. Under the command of Lai Huer, thousands of arrows and countless kerosene were thrown onto the river.
For a time, the flames continued, and several warships turned into seas of flames before they even got close to the shore, and countless soldiers died in the river.
With insufficient troops, although Lai Hu'er had made a lot of preparations, some omissions still occurred. Several small boats finally broke through Lai Hu'er's fire net and rushed to the ferry.
The two brothers Huang Tianhua and Huang Tianxiang jumped out of the battle and led dozens of soldiers behind them to rush forward. Even though the enemy army had five thousand troops, the two brothers Huang Tianhua and Huang Tianxiang were not afraid at all.
