The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 450
Wang Junkuo's [-] cavalry were ambushed by the Sui army in the jungle fifteen miles northwest of Yique Pass, but they were caught off guard and defeated, and more than [-] people were annihilated.Wang Junkuo led the remaining troops to continue to evacuate southward, and was chased and killed along the way. In desperation, he urgently sent someone to ask for help from Li Daozong of Yiqueguan.

Although Li Daozong of Yiqueguan couldn't see the battlefield, his scouts sent back this information urgently.

A partial general hung a few arrows, and begged Li Daozong with blood all over his body: "Your Highness, General Wang was besieged by tens of thousands of Sui troops. Now he has suffered heavy casualties and is in danger. Your Highness, I implore you to rescue him!"

"Deng Bao, what's going on?" Li Daozong asked anxiously, he recognized this person, he was Wang Junkuo's deputy general.

"General Wang was ordered by the King of Jin to lead [-] elite horsemen to help His Highness...Who would have thought that he would be ambushed by Luo Shixin..." Deng Bao said the matter quickly.

Li Daozong listened, met Deng Bao's pleading eyes, pondered for a while, and asked, "Approximately how many people are there in the Sui army?"

"I can't tell how many people the opponent has, but judging from the army surrounded by the opponent, there are at least 4 to [-] people."

"3 people?" If it is 3 people, it means that Luo Shixin has dispatched one-fifth of his troops, and the Yingyang City and Pengbo City where Luo Shixin is located are also the top priorities. After this, Luo Shixin is already available. The limit of the army is reached.

"It's just too much." Deng Bao said urgently: "I'm a humble person, but I also know what His Highness is worried about, but I will ask the general to take care of my general."

Li Daozong stared at the majestic and undulating mountains and rivers in the distance, and the Yishui River in the distance flowed away like a jade belt. He took a deep breath and said: "In that case, I will go here for a while, this Luo Shixin .”

Li Daozong confessed, and personally led [-] soldiers to the battlefield. After marching five miles, he met Wang Junkuo with disheveled hair.

"Your Highness, get out of here, this is a trap. Luo Shixin never showed up...this is not his style."

Wang Junkuo killed people of different races from the beginning to the end, and even the Sui army didn't see many of them. When he saw Li Daozong in the crowd, he knew that Luo Shixin might have a trap for Li Daozong or Yiqueguan, and said anxiously: "I'll get out of here quickly."

Li Daozong's face was the same, and he didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly turned his horse's head.

Just when Tang Jun's front team changed to the back team, and the back team changed to the front team.There was only a sound of clappers, and suddenly thousands of arrows were fired in the jungle, and the arrows shot at Tang Jun who was turning around like a storm.The sudden attack caused Tang's army to be in chaos. A hundred steps away from them, a large group of black shadows suddenly appeared. There were as many as ten thousand people. come out.

The shrill screams resounded all over the world. In the first round of arrows, more than a thousand people from the Tang army fell down, and the ground was stained red with blood.

Soon, another thousand arrows were shot in the second round, and Tang Jun was frightened out of his wits, scrambling to escape for his life.

The rain of arrows shot continuously at the densely populated Tang army, and there were screams all over the place. Large areas of Tang army were shot down by arrows, like a gust of wind, and there were no standing soldiers within a hundred steps.

Wang Junkuo was shot in the right shoulder by an arrow and fell from his horse.But the injury to his right shoulder did not affect the speed on his leg. The roar was like thunder to cover Li Daozong, and the two of them charged forward with hundreds of Tang soldiers guarding them.
At this moment, the ground under his feet began to shake, and the sound of thundering horseshoes was heard in the distance, and a soldier shouted: "The cavalry of the Sui army is here!"

Li Daozong looked back, and saw cavalry overwhelmingly appeared behind him, with horses galloping, swords and guns like a forest, like a black frenzy, and the murderous aura was like a shock wave on the flat ground, sweeping towards the Tang army.

The soldiers of the Tang army were stunned, and Li Daozong was also stunned. Suddenly, he reacted and shouted loudly: "Form up, prepare to fight!"

The fierce murderous intent made the world look pale. There were strong crossbow troops ambushing in front, and cavalrymen who swept everything behind came. The Jingxiang Tang army, who had never seen such a powerful cavalry, was frightened by the might of the fine cavalry, and chaos began to appear.

Li Daozong hissed and shouted: "Line up! Line up!"

But no one listened to his order, and fear shrouded every soldier's heart at this time. They threw away their armor and armor, and routed around them desperately. The distance of hundreds of steps was only a moment for the cavalry, and tens of thousands of cavalry Swinging a knife to kill was extremely ferocious. Some soldiers who escaped slowly were hacked and screamed by the cavalry, and the cavalry engulfed the defeated army like a storm.

A few hundred steps to the south, Luo Shixin, the chief general of the Sui Army, ordered: "Left and right cavalry attack! Separate the two armies."

"Here!" The flag officer used the flag to play the semaphore of attack.

A group of 5000 cavalrymen came from the left and right, like a dagger, and slammed into the Tang army.Precisely cut Tang Jun into three.

A roar sounded, and under the watchful eyes of Luo Shixin, the two cavalrymen opened a gap in the Niang army, and the gap tended to widen. .

The two of them shuttled back and forth among the Tang army, cutting the Tang army's "one" formation into chaos, only killing the enemy's corpses everywhere, flesh and blood flying everywhere, and the air was filled with red mist

The defenders of Yique Pass saw the commotion on the city, and dared not not save them, but this kind of refueling tactic was exactly what Luo Shixin wanted. As soon as the enemy army closed the city, another [-] slave soldiers were sent to fight.

With the passage of time, Tang Jun's subordinates have gradually been killed and dispersed, and most of them knelt down and surrendered.

Seeing that the battlefield was under control, Luo Shixin shouted loudly and led five hundred personal guards to rush into the stubborn crowd, and then shook out spears, and the spears flew like lightning. In an instant, four or five people were stabbed by him. Turned to the ground, Tang Jun saw how brave he was, so he yelled in fright, turned around and ran away.

Luo Shixin was like a tiger in a pack of wolves. He fought more and more bravely. He lay down many corpses under his big iron gun. More than 40 people died under his gun.

Wang Junkuo roared like a thunderbolt: "Luo Shixin, take your life!"

The big knife in his hand slashed at Luo Shixin head-on, Luo Shixin swung the big gun in his hand, and swung away at the oncoming weapon.

Just listen 'Dang! ' With a loud noise, the big knife was splitting on Luo Shixin's gun barrel, and the big knife flew out along the gun barrel.

Although Wang Junkuo was brave, he had an arrow wound on his shoulder, and the violent impact caused his wound to burst open.

The severe pain caused him to drop his weapon, and his body fell to the ground, curled up in pain.

Luo Shixin's soldiers rushed forward, swung their knives and slashed. Luo Shixin shouted: "Don't hurt his life!"

The soldiers held him down and tied him up tightly. The severe pain had already made Wang Junkuo faint.

"The enemy general is so rampant, eat my spear!"

Li Daozong swung his horse spear and stabbed at Luo Shixin's chest, the blade was coming fiercely, Luo Shixin roared: "Good time!"

The body dodged to the side, dodging the spear, the spear swept away, the roar was like a thunderbolt, and the barrel of the gun was like thunder, and Li Daozong was swept off the horse's back with one blow.Let people capture him alive.

He charged towards Yique Pass, pointed his iron spear at the gate, and shouted at the hundreds of enemy troops in the city: "I am Luo Shixin of the Great Sui Dynasty, if you don't surrender, when will you wait?"

The Tang army at the head of the city was stunned by the killing, and seeing the entire army rout, hundreds of soldiers descended to surrender one after another, "We are willing to surrender to Sui!"

Yique Pass, the grand pass of the Central Plains, fell into the hands of the Sui army...

……

Just as Luo Shixin started the war.

Wang Shichong also got accurate information that Li Shimin was in the Mangshan camp. The Tang army's barriers had not yet been built, and there were only [-] troops in the barracks. He felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.He personally led an army of [-] troops to launch a fierce attack on the Tang army camp.

At the same time, Li Shimin arranged [-] crossbowmen in the camp, and lined up [-] red armored troops at the foot of Beiman Mountain, and sent Zhai Changsun He led five thousand cavalry to attack Wang Shichong's rear army.

After fighting for more than an hour, Zheng Jun frantically attacked the Tang camp. He encountered tenacious resistance from the crossbow army and continuous attacks from the Tang army cavalry on both sides. He took down the Tang army camp only because he had seen Li Shimin in the barracks.

Zheng Jun paid the price of thousands of deaths, finally tore open a gap, and rushed into the Tang camp. At this moment, [-] cavalry led by Chai Shao and Hou Junji suddenly came, hacking with sabers, long The spear stabbed fiercely, and Wang Shichong's most elite Jianghuai army launched a fierce bloody battle outside the camp.

This time Zheng Jun was led by Wang Shichong himself, and there was no confusion in the previous three times. They advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, fought bravely, and attacked sharply.They took the lead in defeating Chai Shao's [-] cavalry, forcing Zhai Changsun to give up attacking the rear army, and led [-] cavalry to replace Chai Shao's defeated army.

The casualties on both sides continued to increase, but due to the disparity in strength, Li Shimin's army gradually could not hold back, and the troops were dispersed one after another. Li Shimin was accompanied by only a few dozen cavalry led by the general Qiu Xinggong.

More than a hundred cavalrymen of the Zheng Army pursued closely, but Li Shimin's own soldiers became fewer and fewer as the battle progressed, leaving only one general, Qiu Xinggong, and Li Shimin's horse was also shot dead. Back away in panic.

Qiu Xinggong gave up his horse to Li Shimin, and he killed more than a dozen people in a row on foot. At the most critical moment, there was a sound of horns in the distance, and the main force of the Tang army had returned at this time. The large number of Tang troops Overwhelming, joined the battlefield with great momentum, Wang Shichong saw that the Zheng army could not win for a while, so he had to order the withdrawal of the army bitterly.

Tang Jun chased and killed all the way to the city of Luoyang, killing corpses all over the field. Both the enemy and us suffered heavy casualties in this battle. There are only more than [-] people left, and most of the main force has been lost in this battle.

Li Shimin immediately ordered the siege of Luoyang City and led the Tang army to attack the city day and night. Wang Shichong led the army to resist desperately.
