Chapter 1,206 Fighter Plane Appears

After five thousand cavalry entered the city, it took less than half an hour to control all four gates and everywhere in the city. By then, the officials and defenders in the city were still at a loss. It was not that the Tang army was attacking Tianjin Pass in the south. ? Why did they suddenly invade the city from the West City?

An hour later, Lu Zhong's Iron Eagle warriors finally took over all the city's defenses. While he arranged for his soldiers to take inventory of the treasury, he asked Shi A to lead a group of shadow guards to carefully interrogate the captured officials and generals of the Hyun family, hoping to Get some useful information from them.

At the end of Youshi, the sky was completely dark. Suddenly, the general on guard duty at the top of the city came to report: "General Qi, we found that most of the troops and horses were approaching in the west of the city. The cavalry has confirmed that it is the Central Military Department led by General Tian Yu." !”

Lu Zhong was overjoyed. He did not expect that Tian Yu's Chinese army would arrive right after him. He quickly stood up and said to the surrounding generals: "Let's go to the west gate to greet General Tian!"

The group of people quickly arrived at the west gate, and sure enough, a few miles away to the west, a large group of soldiers and horses were meandering towards the direction of Xunshi County. The leader was none other than Tian Yu and his personal guards. Lu Zhong quickly ordered the city gate to be opened and welcomed Tian Yu's army into the city.

At the city gate, Lu Zhong saluted Tian Yu and said, "General Tian came here overnight!"

"Congratulations to General Lu, another victory!"

"Congratulations! But to be honest, the last general didn't play any role. This was all done by the cavalry!" Lu Zhong also said with a happy face. Although it was said that the cavalry made the contribution, he was actually the forward general. His merits are also indisputable.

"Okay, let's go to the city first. I have something to discuss with General Lu. Come on, let's go to the county office and talk about it later. By the way, where is General Shi A? Why didn't you see him?"

"General Shi is interrogating the captured Zhao officials and generals, so he didn't have time to come to greet him. General, please don't blame me!" Lu Zhong replied quickly;

Tian Yu waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, we are all doing things for the king. There is no need to pay too much attention to such small details."

The two quickly returned to the county government office. Tian Yu waved back the guards around him. Seeing this, Lu Zhong also asked everyone around him to retreat, and then asked Tian Yu: "But what's the military situation?"

Tian Yu said with a solemn expression: "This matter is not trivial. Please ask General Lu to send someone to summon General Shi."

While the two were talking, the guard's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "General Qi, General Shi'a is here."

"Please quickly!" Lu Zhong said quickly;

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was opened. Shi A walked in from the outside with a happy face. Seeing that Tian Yu had arrived, he quickly stepped forward and saluted: "General Tian has already arrived. He was interrogating the prisoners just now, so I can't go there." Welcome General, please forgive me."

"It doesn't matter. Judging from General Shi's appearance, he should have gained a lot." Tian Yu said with a smile;

"Yes, according to the explanation of the county magistrate and the county deputy lieutenant, Tianjing Pass has sent a messenger to Changzi City to ask for help this afternoon. It is said that this morning, the vanguard of our Tang Army has arrived at Tianjing Pass. It is estimated that the attack on the city should begin today. , According to the news passed to them by the messenger, the army numbered tens of thousands. "

"Oh, great!" Both of them were overjoyed when they heard this. Once the battle at Tianjing Pass begins, all the attention of the Shangdang will be focused there, which will be more beneficial to the actions of their own army.

"Furthermore, according to the information from my interrogation, except for the 12,000 troops in Changzi City, the other cities in Shangdang currently only have 2,000 county soldiers. It is unlikely that reinforcements will be sent." Shi A then added; "So, if Zhang Yang wants to send reinforcements, he can only send reinforcements from the eldest son city."

After hearing Shi'a's words, Tian Yu's eyes lit up. He immediately walked to the map next to him and slid his finger from Changzi City to Tianjing Pass in the south. After a long time, he said: "If Changzi City really sends reinforcements to Tianjing Pass to support, If so, it’s a good opportunity for us.”

Lu Zhong also reacted: "Ambush reinforcements?"

"Not bad," Tian Yu nodded heavily,

He said: "Actually, I just asked General Lu to invite General Shi A. There is also important information that needs to be told to the two generals."

Seeing both of them looking towards him, Tian Yu said softly: "Early this morning, Luoyang received nervous information from Jinyang. Last night, Jinyang City suddenly sent 10,000 troops to leave overnight. It was said that they were heading south. Come. So Luoyang speculates that these 10,000 troops should have come to support the Shangdang. As for the reason, it should be as speculated before. Someone in the Zhao army has already seen our army's intention and discovered Bai Xing. It is possible to pass through the army.”

After hearing this, both of them felt awe-inspiring in their hearts. If these ten thousand troops could arrive at the eldest son in time, then the king's idea of ​​capturing Shangdang would be in vain.

"The two generals should also know the importance of this matter. I was still thinking on the way that if we attack the city directly with more than 10,000 troops in Changzi City, we will probably suffer heavy losses, and it will not be able to be captured in a short time. Since Tianjing Pass is asking for reinforcements, if Changzi City can really send reinforcements, and if we can destroy this reinforcement force in the wild, then we can directly send troops northward and capture Changzi as quickly as possible. In this way, even if When Taiyuan's 10,000 reinforcements enter Shangdang territory, they can only huddle in other small counties, which is much more advantageous for our army. "

"But, will Zhang Yang of Changzi City really send reinforcements to support Tianjing Pass?" Shi A said hesitantly;

"Definitely," Tian Yu replied with determination: "Shangdang is the third largest county in Zhao State. If the Tianjing Pass is lost, Shangdang will not be protected. Even Zhang Yang cannot bear the consequences. Besides, now Shangdang The party is still stable, and he only needs 5,000 troops to stabilize the county, so I dare to conclude that Zhang Yang and Hao Meng will definitely send troops to support Tianjing Pass. "

"However, there are still some variables here," Tian Yu pondered again and said: "Since Jinyang has sent reinforcements, they will definitely send out messengers to warn the upper party, but I don't know if Jinyang's messengers can arrive in one day. The eldest son? If the eldest son has been warned, Zhang Yang will definitely stay close to the eldest son and wait for reinforcements from Jinyang. "

"Impossible." This time, Shi A was sure: "It's four to five hundred miles from Jinyang to the eldest son. Zhao State does not have any means of communication such as Feilu, so it can only rely on fast horses to convey information. There is a valley road of more than 100 miles between the two places. Although the army can walk, the speed of the horses cannot be too fast. Therefore, the fastest intelligence required from Jinyang to Zhangzi is nearly two days. From last night Until now, there is simply no time.”
