Chapter 705 Heyang's Offensive and Defensive Battle

Li Jiancheng looked at the Secretary-General Liu Lan, who seemed humble on the outside, but his words and words were full of confidence.

Li Jiancheng asked back: "There are so many generals here who have no plans, so how dare you make a big statement here."

Before Liu Lan could speak, Li Yuanji said on the side: "Your Highness, this Liu Wenyu is a resourceful man, so you might as well listen to his words."

Li Jiancheng showed a sceptical look, but seeing that Li Yuanji recommended this, he could not help but give him face and nodded, "Let's just say it."

Liu Lan said: "The danger of Beizhong City lies in the reinforcements on the Henan floating bridge. If His Royal Highness wants to isolate Beizhong City, he must destroy the floating bridge. Isn't it a good idea to build hundreds of woods upstream of the floating bridge with firewood and go downstream with firewood? Isn't it great to set fire to destroy the floating bridge?"

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji looked at each other and all showed a look of feasible this plan.

Li Jiancheng smiled and said to Liu Lan: "This is Wang Jun's strategy to defeat Wu. It is indeed a clever plan. I am worthy of the King of Qi's appreciation for you so much."

Liu Lan asked for help, "It was just a coincidence that I came up with this plan and did not dare to make a contribution in front of the Prince's Hall."

Seeing Liu Lan so brightly, Li Jiancheng laughed and added a little more appreciation.

The next morning, the sky was gloomy, the turbid waves rolled on the Yellow River and the water flowed turbulently.

In the mist, hundreds of rafts were flowing downstream from the upstream. The rafts were full of straw men, and each raft was connected together with long chains, as if it were one. The front end of the raft was equipped with hook nails to hook the floating bridge.

Under the turbulent Yellow River, the river water rose and floated, and the raft flowed downstream from the upstream and walked extremely fast.

But soon the Zhao army discovered the beacon tower upstream of the river. The Tang army's raft was discovered.

Why is there a beacon tower on the south bank? It turned out that Su Dingfang was worried that the Tang army followed Erzhu Rong's example to deal with Chen Qingzhi and attacked the Yellow River behind it. Therefore, they specially set up beacon towers on the river bank on the south bank of the upper reaches as a warning. When the beacon tower was discovered, they immediately reported to Su Dingfang.

Su Dingfang was standing on the top of Zhongtan City at this moment, looking at the Tang army rafts appearing on the Yellow River, and couldn't help but smile and said to his left and right: "I had known that Li Tang would have someone to make this plan to destroy our army's floating bridge."

The Tang army raft was less than two miles away from Heyang floating bridge. The Tang army soldiers on the raft raised fires and lit the straw men. The straw men had already poured tinder oil on the straw men. The Tang army soldiers took a little bit, and the fire suddenly rose from the straw men.

The fire rolled up, hundreds of rafts on the floating river caught fire at the same time, and the rafts were connected by iron locks. On the river surface, there was a sea of ​​fire, and the rafts rushed towards the floating bridge with the rapids of the Yellow River. After setting fire to the fire on the boat, the Tang soldiers on the boat fled directly from the small boat behind the boat.

Seeing this scene, Su Dingfang gave an order on the top of the city. Hundreds of small boats near Zhongtan City in the floating bridge came out, but saw that the soldiers on each Zhao army boat were holding long poles with iron forks. But when the Tang army fire boats came, the soldiers on the Zhao army boats raised the iron forks and forks and refused.

Su Dingfang's method was effective and he actually cracked the Tang army's fire attack in one fell swoop. Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji and other generals on the shore were stunned when they saw it.

Seeing that Liu Lan's strategy of giving him a plan was ineffective, Li Jiancheng was furious to replace Liu Dewei and ordered Qu Tutong to personally lead 10,000 elite troops from the Left Wu Guard to attack the city.

This time, the Tang army rebuilt siege weapons, with more than a dozen nest cars alone. There were also collisions, and countless ladders. This time, the Li Tang army attacked and Beizhongcheng was attacked like a storm by the Tang army.

The Tang soldiers under the city launched at least six charges against the city gate. Under the attack of the Zhao army, although the casualties were very heavy, they piled up a Yuliang Avenue under the city with their flesh and blood and led straight to the city.

On Yuliang Avenue, the Tang and Zhao troops fought for a desperate battle, and the soldiers of the two armies were full of bones.

The competition on the city wall was even more fierce. The Tang army almost broke through Heyang City in an afternoon charge. It was the Tang army responsible for excavating the soldiers and finally dug through a city wall in a corner of the east of the city.

When the Zhao army discovered it, it was too late to stop it. The Tang army took advantage of this gap to enter the city wall. At this time, Su Dingfang rushed to Beizhong City and personally led his personal soldiers to fill the gap. He drove the Tang army that had attacked Heyang City out of the city wall.

Finally, the women's wall was moved to temporarily fill the vacancy in the city wall.

But no matter what, the Zhao army guarded Beizhongcheng at the cost of thousands of casualties on this day. Although the Tang army also suffered more than two thousand casualties, the Tang army had almost endless reserve troops.

After Liu Dewei and Qu Tutong failed to conquer Heyang City, Li Jiancheng simply removed all of his troops and ordered general Chai Shao to be the third wave of attack tomorrow, so as to conquer Beizhong City in one fell swoop.

After dawn the next day, the Tang army unanimously agreed that the North Central City was within reach. After yesterday's construction, the nest carts surged to more than twenty, and the Tang army's craftsmen even built stone throwing cars.

Chai Shao ordered the 300 troops of his troops to climb the dead first. Anyone who was the first to kill the city, regardless of the officers and soldiers, would discuss the three achievements on the spot. After this reward, the soldiers of the Tang army were ready to rub their hands and pulled out their swords and rubbed them sharply at night, waiting for the fight tomorrow.

The next day, it was not dawn, and Chai Shao ordered 300 dead soldiers to attack Heyang City at night.

The Tang soldiers sneaked into Heyang City very smoothly and opened the city gate. When they were outside the cavalry rushing into Heyang City, they found that there was no one in the city. It turned out that the Zhao soldiers had already withdrawn from Beizhong City.

It seemed as if he had a punch with all his strength but it was empty. He thought he could take Su Dingfang's head in the next moment, but this pounce made Li Jiancheng very angry.

After the fall of Beizhong City, Su Dingfang looked at the floating bridge hanging on the river, and was set on the south bank of the Yellow River with torches by Zhao soldiers.

The river surface was filled with fire and black smoke rolled straight. After the fall of Beizhong City, the floating bridge obviously had no intention of defending it. Su Dingfang even gave up Zhongtan City in the river and retreated directly to the south bank.

The general on the side asked Su Dingfang: "General, our army has even burned the floating bridge now, and the Tang army has no warships to build the floating bridge. I think it should be very inconvenient for them to cross the river."

Su Dingfang shook his head and said, "This is the one you underestimated by the hundreds of thousands of Tang troops. It may be difficult for others to build a floating bridge on the Yellow River, but for more than 100,000 people, in just a short while, the Tang army will build a floating bridge on the surface of the Yellow River in just two to three days."

"General, then we?"
