The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 112 Capture Yang Tong Alive
The Tang army supported Hedong from Tongguan, and they were extremely tired after a long journey all the way.Yang Tong spread false news again, tempting them to march faster and increase the physical consumption of the reinforcements.But the accompanying army rested in place, waiting for work at leisure.

The Sui army recharged their energy and stored up their energy, always maintaining their combat power at the peak level, one ebbed and the other ebbed and flowed.The Sui army's combat effectiveness and fighting will will inevitably be consumed along with the exhaustion of physical strength.If the Tang army is allowed to rest for half a day, the soldiers will be fully rested, and it will be another situation.

But obviously, with Yang Tong's grasp of the opportunity of the battle, he would never give up this advantage. Knowing that the Tang army intends to rest, he did not hesitate to launch a strong attack with a brutal offensive.

The Tang army's formation is indeed magnificent, but Yang Tong knows it's an illusion.No matter how good the quality of Tang soldiers is, they are still human beings, and no matter how strong soldiers are, their physical strength is limited.They are only stretched with one tendon right now, holding on with one breath, as long as they break that tendon, this group of reinforcements will be defeated.

Yang Tong's almost barbaric fighting style is actually in line with the purpose of the art of war.

The tiring journey from afar and the master who recharged his batteries are stuck together, and the outcome is obvious.

It's just that Yang Tong's first sprint has given Sui Jun an advantage.

Yang Tong, the commander of the three armies, is also the leader and leader of Jizhou. It is rare to have the opportunity to fight. Now he is charging at the front line of the battlefield again.The blood in the whole body is boiling.

"Kill!" Yang Tong yelled loudly, flying the split lance in his hand, roaring and galloping forward!The silver-white sky-cracking lance is like a death scythe, crushing several layers of crowds, beheading all enemies at a distance of two feet, forming a regional vacuum, within the absolute domain, anyone who enters will be killed with one blow!
"Haha! Your Highness has shown his power, brothers follow and crush Tang's bastard!" Luo Shixin is alert enough, and has always been able to cooperate with Yang Tong's style of play.

Although Yang Tong is brave, but among the ten thousand armies, the bravery of a common man actually plays very little role, but if there are strong soldiers to cooperate and expand the results of Yang Tong's fighting, it will shake the overall situation.

The Xuanjia Army was originally the strongest army in the Sui Army, and everyone had the courage of a captain. Seeing Yang Tong's supernatural power at this moment, breaking through layers of crowds and galloping through the enemy's interior, they immediately sent Yang Tong to the army without hesitation. Open up the opening to kill.What's more, how the majestic king of Qin disregarded his life, everyone was greatly encouraged.

With the support of the soldiers, Yang Tong led the Xuanjia army to advance layer by layer, directly defeating the Tang soldiers.

Shi Wanbao stood on a high hill overlooking the battlefield, taking a panoramic view of the unoptimistic situation.Originally, he thought that even if he would be inferior to the opponent in terms of physical strength, the battle could still be dragged into a stalemate, thus giving Li Shentong in the city a fatal chance to unify.

But in this confrontation, Shi Wanbao discovered that the Sui army's combat power was ridiculously high, especially Yang Tong, who was like a malevolent star, only single-handedly disrupted his spear formation, and easily tore and destroyed his vital formation.

At this moment, his face was as still as water, and he couldn't see the slightest change, but he was very anxious.

As soon as he made contact, he had already fallen into a disadvantage. Once it was consumed, the problem of the soldiers' physical strength would immediately appear, and the gap between the two sides would become wider and wider, eventually causing the Sui army to be defeated.The consequences of being defeated by the Sui army are definitely not something he can bear.

The [-] army he led was the only army that could support Hedong in the near future.If he is defeated, it is impossible to have reinforcements to support Liaodong in the short term.

More importantly, this battle was fought under the eyes of more than 5000 defenders in Hedong City. If they were defeated, the morale of the defenders would be immediately taken away by the Sui Dynasty. The 3+ opponents of the Sui army who are coming?
Once Hedong City falls, the entire territory of Bingzhou will fall!It's not easy for Tang Jun to get it back in the future.

On the contrary, if the bridgehead to the east is kept, the Sui army will be under the threat of Li Tang at all times. At that time, it will have to divide the army to occupy Wencheng, Jiangjun, and the occupied Hedong counties.

But for the difference in strength, Shi Wanbao really didn't want to deal with it.

But as the battle progressed, he discovered that the Tang army had withstood the Sui army's offensive. The reason was not that the Tang army had become stronger, but that the Sui army's North Route Army had never tried its best.

After thinking about it for a while, Shi Wanbao immediately understood that the main task of the North Road Sui Army was to guard against the defenders in Hedong City.

Shi Wanbao could see the Sui army's concerns, and Li Shentong, who stood taller, could see it more clearly.

As soon as the battle outside the city started, Li Shentong stared at the battlefield steadfastly, waiting for changes in the battle situation. In this battle, either you die or I die, and there is no room for mercy.

When he found that the Sui army on the North Road did not dare to do their best, he already realized that this was an opportunity.So quickly weighed up.

Out of town?Out of town?

The two options!

Li Shentong's brows were wrinkled into an inverted figure.

At this moment, Li Shentong is not so much paying attention to the war, but rather making an extremely difficult choice.

With the passage of time, the fierce battle on the battlefield has become fierce. After more than an hour of fierce fighting, thousands of people have been killed or injured on both sides.

Dust was flying on the battlefield, and the yellow dust filled the sky, covering the sun, making the sky colorless, and the sound of drums and shouts of killing shook the whole field.The cruelty of the war makes every soldier struggle like hell before the cliff, the soldier's physical strength becomes the key to the victory or defeat, and the physical strength lies in the usual training.

Although both sides are elite troops, the fierce battle for nearly two hours has made every soldier exhausted and on the verge of physical collapse. The war has reached the most critical moment.

At this time, the Sui army on the North Road, which had been ignoring all the time, broke out with amazing fighting power.

This also made the Sui army outside the city very dangerous.

Li Shentong was very anxious, and the difficult choice made him sweat profusely.

However, when he glanced at the weakening offensive of the central Sui army and the retreating silver-armored general, his gaze burst into ecstasy.

That is the head of the Northern Sui Dynasty——Yang Tong!
As long as Yang Tong is captured alive or killed——

The Sui army collapsed immediately.

The Northern Sui Dynasty will fall into a situation where the dragons have no leader. Even if Yang You inherits his brother's foundation, he will not be able to save the chaotic Northern Sui Dynasty in a short time.At that time, as long as the Guanzhong army is fast enough, not only can they quickly regain Bingzhou, but they can even capture Jizhou in one fell swoop.

Thinking of this, Li Shentong's eyes showed a strong killing intent, and he suddenly made a decision in his heart: Yang Tong is a very powerful opponent, not only has a calm head and sufficient judgment as a commander, but also does not lack the lack of self-sacrifice. Such a person is the most terrifying.It is not a good thing for him and the Tang Dynasty, only to kill him.To turn this bad thing into a good thing.

"Yang Tong is alive, and when he rises up, he will become a disaster for the Tang Dynasty!"

"The Sui army attacked across the board. If he hesitated, Shi Wanbao would die. With only 10,000 defenders with low morale, they are no match for the [-]+ Sui army."

"The Sui army has nothing left to worry about! If you don't attack now, when will you wait?"

After a few thoughts, Li Shentong no longer hesitated, and said word by word: "The whole army goes out!"

The south gate of Hedong City opened suddenly, and the [-] defenders who had been waiting for a long time, led by Li Shentong personally, rushed out of the city and went straight to the Sui Army on the North Road.
