Chapter 309: In the fight for Hanchuan, Xiguan confronted


In the end, Li Xiaogong took advantage of the terrain of Dingjun Mountain and defeated Li Dingguo's troops.

Although Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu broke through with the remnants of the brave martial arts.

However, after this battle, the situation in Hanchuan has been established, and the Tang army occupying Dingjun Mountain has already possessed Hanchuan and other places.

It is only said that after Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu suffered the defeat of Dingjun Mountain.

Li Dingguo immediately made a decision, withdrew the Daokou army, and then evacuated to Sichuan.

Subsequently, Chai Shao led the army to follow up urgently and officially round with the main general Li Xiaogong.

Subsequently, Li Xiaogong led the whole army to advance to Nanzheng, the hinterland of Hanchuan.

Since Li Dingguo had already given up Hanchuan and other places, it was only two days.

The entire territory of Hanchuan became the territory of the Tang Army.

At this time, Li Xiaogong thought that he had sat firmly in Hanchuan and was preparing to arrange the officials to govern Hanchuan.

Strive to operate Hanchuan in the shortest possible time and build it into a solid rear in the Guanlong area.

However, a few days later, an urgent battle report came from the western part of Hanchuan.

It turned out that Dong Zhuo, the leader of the Qiang people in Hanyang, promised to ally with Zhang Xianzhong's troops and send troops to Hanchuan.

After the deed was completed, Hanchuan and other counties were divided equally Therefore, now that the Tang army scouts have found out, Dong Zhuo personally led 40,000 Qiang soldiers to gallop towards Hanchuan.

Hearing the news, Li Xiaogong did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly summoned the generals and gave orders.

"This time, the Qiang army entrenched in Hanyang and other places has united with Zhang Xianzhong."

"Now Dong Zhuo, the leader of the Qiang people, personally led 40,000 Qiang soldiers like me Hanchuan attacked" As Li Xiaogong stated the real battle report to the generals, the generals were suddenly shaken.

After all, the Tang army in this expedition to Shu was only 30,000 troops.

Although after the surrender of Hanchuan, the number of troops has reached 50,000.

But its combat effectiveness is not at all comparable to that of the Tang Army In addition, the newly descended people will be unstable, and if they are rashly allowed to join the battlefield, I am afraid that there will be a mutiny.

Immediately, Chai Shao on the side said slowly: "King of the county, can you ask Your Majesty for reinforcements?"

Hearing this, Li Xiaogong shook his head and sighed bitterly: "There are no reinforcements" "Now my Tang Dynasty is surrounded by various separatist forces, and Li Guangbi, the king of Xin'an County in the west, guards Qinzhou."

"And His Royal Highness the King of Qin led a large army to garrison Tongguan to guard against his Luoyang Wang Shichong."

"And in the northern region, now that the Sui Dynasty has been restored, the Tang Dynasty also needs troops to defend it."

"Therefore, Your Majesty has no troops to support Shu at all."

For a while, Li Xiaogong's voice was low, and his words revealed the future of Datang.

After all, although Tang occupies the land of Guanlong now, it seems that he occupies a favorable location and has unlimited scenery However, the strength of the surrounding separatist forces is still not to be underestimated, and almost all of them have their armed forces in the southeast, northwest, and north.

Therefore, although Guanlong is known as the land of kings.

But once trapped in it and unable to get out, I'm afraid Guan Long will form a real cage.

Therefore, now Li Xiaogong is also very depressed in his heart, on the one hand, he does not want to add to the burden of tiring the court.

But on the other hand, the strength of the Qiang army is not weak, and now Li Dingguo has not withdrawn to Shu County.

Instead, the garrison was in Thanh Hoa County, eyeing Hanchuan.

Don't think too much, as long as the Tang army and the Qiang army start a fierce battle, Li Dingguo will definitely lead the army again to fight for Hanchuan and other places.

In the end, after Li Xiaogong and Chai Shao made a total, Li Xiaogong personally led the army and surrendered the army to Xiguan to resist the Qiang army.

The reason why the surrendered army was taken away was that he was afraid that when Li Dingguo counterattacked Hanchuan, the surrendered troops would fight back Chai Shao is responsible for sticking to Hanchuan and other places, always paying attention to Li Dingguo's dynamics.

Moreover, in view of the fact that Li Dingguo, whether he is the commander of the army or his own martial arts, he is the best candidate.

Therefore, Li Xiaogong also personally asked Zhuge Liang, hoping that he could help hold on to Hanchuan.

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang didn't think too much, so he should accept it.

After all, now that the two armies are united against the enemy, if Hanchuan falls and the Tang army is defeated, it will be difficult for its Qi army to conquer Shu.

Under the West Pass, Dong Zhuo's army had arrived at the pass and began to attack.

Because the Xiguan was originally built to resist the Qiang soldiers, its pass is not only hard and strong.

Moreover, it is located above the danger, and the terrain on both sides is very narrow.

Each attack can only accommodate a few hundred people, so Xiguan can be described as easy to defend and difficult to attack In addition, the Qiang soldiers were not good at attacking fortifications, and although they had strong troops, they could not capture Xiguan in a short period of time.

Until finally Li Xiaogong led his troops into Xiguan and once again perfected the Xiguan defense line.

At this time, the Qiang army attacked several times again, but each time it was a loss of troops, but it still couldn't help Xiguan at all.

Then, I saw that Dong Zhuo did not order to continue the attack, but retreated thirty miles and set up camp.

Confrontation with the Tang Army in Kannai For a while, Li Xiaogong did not understand the intentions of the Qiang soldiers.

After all, it is now Dong Zhuo who leads the army to invade the state and county, but he does not advance or retreat.

Such a move is really puzzling and outlandish Although the Qiang soldiers did not attack, Li Xiaogong did not dare to slack off at all, and still increased his vigilance every day to defend the city.

With the fierce battle between the Tang army and the Qiang army in Xiguan, Li Dingguo, who was stationed in Qinghua, secretly saw that the time had come. made a quick decision and once again led the army to Hanchuan, intending to recapture Hanchuan and other places.

Chai Shao, who was holding on to Hanchuan, heard about it and also led the army to arrive.

For a while, due to the superiority of Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu's troops, plus the two generals were brave.

Therefore, under the fierce battle for several days, Chai Shao's department gradually fell behind, and he could not compete with it.

Seeing that the balance of victory was tilting in favor of his own army, the main general Li Dingguo stepped up a fierce battle with the Tang army.

As Li Dingguo's troops became more and more courageous, the pressure of the Tang army's resistance gradually increased.

In the end, Chai Shao had no choice but to lead the army and retreat in battle, moving closer to Nanzheng.

Immediately, Li Dingguo also waved his army and stormed behind him Suddenly, as the Qiang army joined the battle, the Tang army's rule in Hanchuan was suddenly in jeopardy.

It's just that now Li Xiaogong can't do anything, so he has to wait for the opportunity to change the battle situation.

But a few days later, an urgent battle report reached Xiguan.

It turned out that a few days ago, Chai Shao's army was on the way to retreat in the direction of Nanzheng.

Li Dingguo, who was pursuing in the rear, ordered Liu Wenxiu to lead the light army to secretly bypass the two armies and ambush in front.

In the end, Liu Wenxiu led the army to intercept the Tang army, and Li Dingguo led the army to outflank it.

With the attack from both sides, the Tang army could not resist it at all.

After fighting for a long time, Chai Shao finally led his troops out of the encirclement and led the remnants to flee.

For a time, after completely defeating the Tang army in Hanchuan, Li Dingguo became overjoyed.

Because this means that the obstacles to the re-occupation of Hanchuan have been completely removed.

Your own army can march unscrupulously towards the hinterland of Hanchuan without any resistance on the way.

After a long march, Li Dingguo's troops finally arrived at the foot of Nanzheng City. thought that the Tang army would be defeated, but Nanzheng at this time must be empty and within reach But at this time, a brightly armored army in the city was standing with its head held high, staring wantonly.

Suddenly, Li Dingguo had an ominous premonition in his heart, and the great troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty were called :
