The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 369
Before the massacre feast in Wentang Town started, Xue Wanjun discovered that the enemy camp was extremely narrow, with large tents erected densely one after the other, and the wind on the mountain was extremely strong. Too lazy to engage in any tactics, let the soldiers set fire to the camp directly.

The fire burned rapidly, and the raging flames were swept towards the camp by the wind, and the red flames of the tents flew up, forming a sea of ​​​​fire for more than ten miles, and the entire Taibai Mountain/Dongshan Mountain was engulfed by the fire.

In the big camp, tens of thousands of rebels were burned to the point of crying for their fathers and mothers. They trampled on each other in the raging fire, hissing and screaming, scrambling to escape for their lives.

The [-] Sui troops outside the camp fired crossbow arrows from three sides, cutting off the escape route of the rebels. The dead bodies were piled up after hunting, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of blood and meat.

Xue Wanbei slashed and killed the enemy group with his sword, and there were many corpses in the place where the sword passed. He saw an enemy general in the crowd swinging his sword and threw himself into the soldiers of the Sui Army. He killed more than a dozen Sui soldiers in a row.

He rushed forward furiously, the saber flashed in the flames, and slashed at the neck of the enemy general. The white-haired general was obviously a veteran on the battlefield. One time, the blade slashed through his nose, but he was old after all, his waist strength was weak, and he got up a step slower. Xue Wanjun backhanded him, and the sharp blade slashed into the back of his neck, and there was only a "click", The blood burst out, and the big head flew more than a foot away, and the headless corpse slowly fell to the ground with a fountain of blood.

Several personal soldiers rushed forward and snatched the opponent's head. Xue Wanjun took a look, and immediately shouted with great joy: "Dou Kang is dead."

"Huh?" Xue Wanbei was taken aback.

"Ah what? Silly boy, you have found a great bargain. This person is Li Tang Zuo Wu Hou General Dou Kang." Xue Wanjun slashed to death an enemy soldier who attacked his younger brother, and said loudly happily.

Dou Kang is the son of Chen Guogong Dou Rongding. He comes from the Dou family in the Guanlong military aristocratic group. It is a famous surname in the Sui Dynasty. Dou Kang's mother is Sui Wendi's eldest sister, Princess Anchang. His cousin is Li Yuan's wife Dou's family. .

When he was young, he was beautiful in appearance, straightforward in temperament, and had a little knowledge of map history. He was favored by his uncle, Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty, and studied in Taixue. He took up the post of Duke Chen Guogong.

In the dispute between Yang Guang and the crown prince Yang Yong, he favored the crown prince Yang Yong. After Yang Yong was abolished, Dou Kang supported the new crown prince Yang Guang.

After Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, Han Wang Yang Liang rebelled. Yang Guang worried that Dou Kang, who had a close relationship with Yang Liang, would respond to Yang Liang, so he ordered Li Zixiong to go to Youzhou to take over the post of Dou Kang's general manager.Sure enough, Li Zixiong found the letter that Yang Liang asked him to respond to. Although he did not find any evidence that he wanted to raise an army to respond, Yang Guang hated Dou Kangcun for his ambiguity and removed him as a citizen. His younger brother Dou Qing inherited the dukedom of Chen Guo .After Li Yuan raised troops in Taiyuan, Dou Kang went to join him and was awarded the title of general master craftsman.After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, he successively served as the generals of Nayan and Zuowuhou.

It is definitely a great credit for Dou Kang, a senior official of Li and Tang, who is an extremely human minister, to have his head chopped off by Xue Wanbei in the scuffle.

"Third brother, Your Highness won't settle accounts with me!" Xue Wanbei cried with a mournful face, not at all happy. He didn't know Dou Kang, but he knew that this person was Yang Tong's cousin.

Xue Wanjun was speechless.

These days, those relatives who hate and want to kill Yang Tong the most are his relatives.It's strange that Yang Tong would admit this kind of relative. .

"Dou Kang is dead."

"Dou Kang is dead."

The guards don't care about this, they have already shouted in unison.

Dou Kang was killed, and the thousands of people who resisted finally lost their minds and fled in all directions. Xue Wanjun sternly shouted: "Block the exit, and kill those who don't surrender!"

An hour later, the raging fire engulfed the entire Dongshan Mountain, and only more than 8000 rebels in the valley surrendered and survived. The rest were either killed, burned to death, or trampled on and killed each other. Dead bodies piled up on the top of the mountain, and the smell was pungent, like Senluo Hell.

. . . . . . . . .

"Hurry up, hurry up!" General Li Tang, who was in charge of Qianshuiyuan in Beidi County, was named Feng Li. He led tens of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers down Quanyuan Mountain, and kept urging everyone to march towards Changwu City in the direction of Anding County.

Beidi County and Anding County are also blocked by many mountains, and the only way is to go up and down along the Jingshui River Valley.

If you enter Guanzhong from now on, you must first pass through Beidi County, and then turn south from Qianshuiyuan to enter Jingzhao County, where the soldiers point directly at Chang'an City

It's just that Feng Li knew that the [-] miscellaneous soldiers who were seriously short of weapons were not enough for an upright division to charge. If he went south like this, it would definitely not have the effect of disturbing the pass, so he didn't go south to pass, but went west. Anding County.

But to go north to Anding County, you need to pass through many dangerous passes. When Li Tang and Xue Ju fought, the battle situation was repeatedly unfavorable to Li Tang. Li Tang built many large and small passes and military cities in dangerous places. The most famous one is There are two military cities, one is Zhexi City in Anding County, and the other is Changwu City in Beidi County.

Changwu City is a pass from Beidi County to Anding County. After taking Changwu City and Zhexi City with few defenders, the army has three choices, one is to go north to Honghua County, and the other is to go west to Pingliang County One is to go south to Fufeng County and join the army from Taibai Mountain,
The circumference of Changwu is about five miles. Li and Tang garrisoned 5000 soldiers at most, but because the Sui Dynasty slaughtered the entire Yongzhou, they only arranged for [-] county soldiers to garrison.

"General, look quickly!" Lieutenant General Chen Ji suddenly pointed forward, a look of horror flashed in his eyes.

Chen Ji's voice awakened Feng Li, who was thinking about the direction of development. Looking in the direction Chen Ji pointed, he saw torches suddenly stretching for miles in the dark distance, and the outline of an army could be vaguely seen. It was far away, and in the middle of the night, it was hard to see how many enemies there were, but the long fire dragon couldn't see the end at a glance, and the number of opponents was obviously quite a lot.

Feng Li was taken aback and raised his hand to signal the army to stop marching.

The news he inquired said that the Sui Dynasty did not have many troops in Beidi, Shangjun, Anding, Pingliang, Fufeng, Honghua and other counties. , but their elite division.

Soon, the scouts rushed over: "General Feng is the soldier and horse of Qin Qiong, the general of the Sui Dynasty."

Feng Li's heart trembled violently, and he let out a pained snort.

Qin Qiong used to be the number one general of Zhang Xutuo, and made great achievements in countering the rebellion. His best method was to use a small group of elite troops to force down the bandits and civilians dozens of times his own. For so many years, I have never missed a shot... After following Yang Tong, he was still the number one thug in the Sui Dynasty, and Qin Qiong was indispensable in every tough battle... Now he stands out from many generals and becomes the northern coach of the Sui Dynasty. Hundreds of thousands of Turkic people were killed, which made Turkic children dare not cry at night.

What's frustrating is that the tens of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers under his Feng Li are no different from the bandits, it's really terrible.

At the same time, Feng Li also figured it out. It must be that they were not secretive, or betrayed by a traitor, which caused the Sui Dynasty to know in advance, and at the same time sent this evil star to prevent him from coming.

Feng Li looked around, and found that this place was flat and not suitable for ambushes at all. Even if the Sui Dynasty wanted to ambush himself, he should find a suitable place to ambush himself.

Could it be that it was just a show, that Sui Chao didn't know that he was coming, but after getting the news, he hurriedly sent someone pretending to be Qin Qiong to stop it?

This thought lasted for a lifetime, but was immediately dismissed by Feng Li, because this place was the most suitable place for the Sui army, which had all the troops on board, to launch an attack, and this was exactly what Qin Qiong was good at.

Just when Feng Li was in doubt, Chen Ji exclaimed again, pointing in another direction: "General, you, look over there!"

Feng Li turned his head in shock, and amidst the sound of rumbling horseshoes, a long fire dragon gradually appeared in sight, and a scout came galloping, and said in a hurry: "General, another large army appeared in the southeast. "

"Do you know who the soldiers are?" Feng Li's complexion became even more ugly. A Qin Qiong made him a little helpless, but he brought out a lot of soldiers and horses. No matter how powerful Qin Qiong was, he could not kill tens of thousands of people. Melee is not about personal bravery.But at this moment, another team appeared, which made Feng Li's heart sink.

"Look at the banner, it's either Xue Wanjun or Xue Wanche!"

"..." Feng Li was speechless. Neither Xue Wanjun nor Xue Wanche was a good opponent. Xue Wanjun built a "human ladder" with the corpses of more than 8 Turkic slaves in the Battle of Guanzhong. It was a tragic scene. The garrison of Xiangwu City in Longxi County was frightened and obediently gave up resistance, which caused Li Shimin to lose his logistics base and had to move to Shu; Xue Wanche's name was naturally not as famous as his brother, but he was also a member of the Sui Dynasty Titans, in the first battle of Yemachuan, the lone army went deep into the prairie, preventing the 10,000+ Turkic army near Yudujin Mountain from going south, causing the more than [-] troops of Jieli Khan to be wiped out.

"Array to meet the enemy!"

The opponent's two armies were already approaching. Feng Li didn't dare to neglect, and quickly ordered to line up. It was impossible to retreat now. If they retreated at this time, they would hit the enemy's arms. They could ride their horses and slaughter his soldiers one by one from behind. Soldiers, instead of being hunted and killed, it is better to fight with one's back, and maybe you can get miraculous results.

"Woooooo~"

Amidst the sound of the melodious horn, the oncoming army swept towards this side with a shocking power. Feng Li held the weapon tightly, but felt an unspeakable sense of despair in his heart.

Regardless of the outcome, the task of disrupting the land of Yongzhou is unlikely to be accomplished.

"Look to the north, everyone, there are so many torches!"

Hearing the exclamation from someone around him, Feng Li's face changed again, and he looked over quickly. Another fire dragon was threatening to come from the north. A big flag with the word "Yuchi" written on it fluttered in the wind.

Yuchi Gong?
Feng Li was even more shocked, regardless of whether it was Xue Wanjun or Xue Wanche's Sui soldiers from the East, but the war in the north was over, Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong should be by Yang Tong's side now, why did they all come here?

Suddenly, Feng Li thought of a possibility, these people did not go to Chang'an at all, but left Yang Tong on the way south, and waited for him to appear.

Yu Chigong's army was actually the closest to him, and he could already clearly see the opponent's military appearance at this moment. Just looking at the number, it might be no less than [-]. With the addition of the other two groups of troops, Feng Li no longer has the advantage in numbers. , Combat power...? ? ?
