Chapter 1878: Marching in Yanjing (Part 1)
Chapter 1876: Marching in Yanjing (Part 1)
After capturing Yuyang City, the road to Guangyang County was officially opened. Su Dingfang could finally attack Yanjing, but there were two small troubles in Yuyang County, that is, Li Ling and Tian Yu''s four thousand Han troops.
Su Dingfang ordered Yang Zhi to lead 5,000 troops and Ding Yanping to lead 4,000 troops to station on the two roads leading to Yuyang, in order to prevent Li Ling and Tian Yu from reinforcement of Yuyang City.
Now Yuyang City has been captured, but Li Ling and Tian Yu''s troops have not been completely resolved.
When he learned that Yuyang was surrounded by the Qin army and was in danger, Li Ling and Tian Yu both tacitly abandoned the city to rescue him, but he did not expect to be blocked by the Qin army halfway.
If it is an ordinary general, in order to support Yuyang City in time, he will definitely attack the Qin army with all his strength and support Yuyang by attacking the tunnel, but Li Ling and Tian Yu are obviously not ordinary.
Seeing that the road ahead was blocked by the Qin army, Li Ling and Tian Yu tacitly chose to retreat, rather than take a detour than fight with the Qin army. After all, the prerequisite for rescue of Yuyang is to preserve oneself. Once all the troops in his hands are exhausted, even if they hit Yuyang City, it will have no effect.
Li Ling and Tian Yu both chose to detour, but they ran into the opponent halfway and learned that both roads were occupied by the Qin army. So they joined forces to defeat the Qin army.
Just as Li Ling, Tian Yu and his army were preparing to join forces to attack Ding Yanping''s guard, they received the news that Yuyang City had been broken and learned that Yuyang City had been broken.
Yuyang City has been captured, and it is meaningless for Li Ling and Tian Yu to go again. The two of them have become turtles in the jar. It is only a matter of time before the Qin army swallowed them in one mouthful. It is inevitable that the idea of ??surrender will arise in my heart.
However, when they thought of Liu Che''s kindness and their family were still in Yanjing City, they had to give up the idea of ??surrendering.
After some discussion, Li Ling and Tian Yu decided to block the news first and retreat to the two cities of Guangpinghe Anle, waiting for assistance.
They also knew that there would be no reinforcements, and they also knew that there was no point in defending the city, but in order to repay Liu Che''s kindness, for their family and their own reputation, they decided to sacrifice their lives until the last moment.
In this way, Li Ling and Tian Yu''s troops had a total of 4,000 Han troops. They did not go to war with Dingyanping. They just wandered around and took the initiative to return to their respective cities.
Su Dingfang was also surprised when he learned about it. He thought that Yang Zhi and Ding Yanping''s troops could at least destroy one of Li Ling or Tian Yu, but he did not expect that these two people would have such a tacit understanding and would take the initiative to admit defeat without even fighting.
Now the Han army has two cities left in Yuyang County, with 4,000 troops. The two cities of Guangping and Anle are supporting each other. If you want to capture, you need to dispatch at least three times the enemy''s troops.
With the current Qin army''s troops in Yuyang, it can be used even if it is nine times, but another problem arises, is it worth it?
At this moment, Yanjing City is like a peerless beauty who has taken off her naked, standing naked in front of her, while Ganping and Anle are two 80-year-old women. I am afraid everyone knows how to choose.
For Su Dingfang, the most important thing now is time. At this time, you can definitely break through the two cities, but it will waste a lot of time.
If someone in the other three armies fought under Yanjing during this period, the first skill he got was flying away.
After capturing the pseudo-Emperor Liu Che in Yanjing City, the two cities of Guangping and Anle will naturally surrender without fighting. This is the smartest choice.
Su Dingfang naturally would not give up the Han-Destroying Master who was already within reach for the sake of two optional cities, so he decided not to take the initiative to attack the two cities and concentrate his troops to attack Yanjing City first.
Su Dingfang also knew that Li Ling and Tian Yu were uneasy. Once their main force left, the two of them would definitely come out to cause trouble.
If Yuyang City is lost again and is lucky to be broken by Li Lingtian Yu, and his food route is cut off by then, the main force that attacked Yanjing will be in danger.
Therefore, Su Dingfang must arrange the defense of Yuyang properly in order to lead the army to attack Yanjing with confidence.
"Ding Yanping, you lead 4,000 troops to guard Yuyang City. Yang Zhi, you lead 3,000 troops to guard Lu County." Sun Lingming must have to go out with the army, and between Ding Yanping and Yang Zhi, Su Dingfang finally chose the experienced Ding Yanping to guard Yuyang City, which is the most important thing for the Fourth Route Army.
"Remember, after this general leads his army, no matter which side Li Lingtianyu attacks, you just need to defend the city tightly and never leave the city. That is a trick to lure the enemy." Su Dingfang reminded.
"I will remember it in the end." Ding Yanping and Yang Zhi responded in unison.
"Um."
Su Dingfang nodded. Now he was completely at ease, but before leaving, he had to go and see Li Guang and his son.
After the Qin army captured Yuyang City, Li Gan resisted stubbornly and defended the prefect''s mansion to death, but was beaten and captured by Su Dingfang himself, and Li Gan was also treated in the medical camp with Li Guang.
The Qin army''s "field hospital" has been transferred to Yuyang City, a large mansion covering an area of ??50 acres.
Li Gan''s injury was not too serious, but Li Guang was beaten by Sun Lingming. He didn''t die directly because of his good physique.
There were not many Qin soldiers in the medical camp. After all, the Qin army suffered only nearly 400 casualties in this battle, so most of the medical camps were wounded and captured by Han soldiers.
As the Qin army first advocated the military medical system and spent a lot of money to treat the injured, the major princes also realized that the veterans'' combat effectiveness after recovering from the injury was even greater, so they also vigorously promoted the military medical system.
All the major princes invested a lot of money to cultivate their own military doctors, which also allowed the doctor''s profession to develop in a rocket manner. The medical level of the Han Dynasty suddenly exceeded several levels.
The major princes were not well-off. Even if they were willing to invest in training military doctors, in this era when military expenditure was destined to account for the majority, the proportion of medical investment would definitely not be too large. Therefore, except for Qin, military doctors in various countries were in a scarce state.
If Su Dingfang leads 40,000 troops to fight, he will be equipped with a medical battalion of 300 military medical nurses, which is a unique luxury in the world.
Seeing Su Dingfang coming, the soldiers and military doctors saluted one after another, "See General."
"No need to be polite, take the general to see Li Guang and his son."
"No."
A military doctor came out to lead the way for Su Dingfang.
On the way, Su Dingfang asked, "How is Li Guang''s injury?"
"Li Guang''s injuries were very serious. He had four broken ribs and his internal organs injured, but this was not fatal. It took time to take time to recuperate slowly."
"Give Li Guang the best treatment. Don''t worry about the medicinal materials. If there are not enough precious medicinal materials, I will transport them from the rear. In short, I will give Li Guang the highest standard medical treatment."
“This…get it.”
