The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 658
The night was dark, Dingyuan City was full of flames, and [-] Wei troops were ready to go.They gathered towards the open space in the south of the city one after another, and fell into a busy scene.

On the top of the city, Master Sheng Yan looked at Liu Lancheng in armor and said, "General Liu, do you have to sneak attack the Sui army's camp?"

The heroic Liu Lancheng has the style of a Confucian general. He waved his hand and said with a serious face: "The Sui army will come to the city tomorrow. When that time comes, how can our army, which is demoralized and demoralized, resist the army with dragon morale and sharp equipment?" Sui army? Our soldiers and horses are not as elite as those of the Sui Dynasty, our morale is not as high as that of the Sui army, and our weapons and equipment are not as good as the Sui army. If we do nothing, even if we change to a strong city like Luoyang, we will not last long. Today The night is our only chance, and I don't want to hurt the enemy too much, I just need to frustrate the Sui army's spirit and improve our army's confidence."

"General Liu, but Yang Tong is a famous commander in the world after all, didn't he have the slightest precaution?" Master Sheng Yan did not approve of Liu Lancheng stealing camps and robbing villages, but although his position was higher than Liu Lancheng's, the opponent was Dingyuan County The chief general, and he himself is a defeated general who escaped from Quanjiao County, so he is a bit shorter in momentum, so he can't stop him, he can only persuade him.

Liu Lancheng said: "The scouts came to report that the two armies of the Sui army joined forces at the foot of Quting Mountain, and held a grand celebration banquet. It was so loud that it could be heard for miles. They killed horses and sheep, and the entire Qingliu River was stained red with blood. It's not fake."

Master Sheng Yan thought for a while, and said with a wry smile, "I'm just a little worried."

"This is indeed a risky move, but I have to take this risk." Liu Lancheng looked at the soldiers under the city, and said lightly: "If I fall into the trap, I will only advance my defeat by a few days; but if I win, Our army will be able to get all the Sui army's siege weapons, strong bows and crossbows, and good horses. Even if the Sui army is transferred to the south, it will take a lot of time, and what our Wei country needs most now is time. If we can annihilate the Sui army tonight With tens of thousands of Sui troops, the Holy Majesty can deal with Yao Junsu with all his strength."

"Alright." Master Sheng Yan nodded. This is a choice that has no choice. The big deal is that as Liu Lancheng said, the defeat will be brought forward a few days, but in case of winning, the profits will be huge, and the morale will be sluggish. It was a big surprise for the whole country of Wei, and the army would be full of confidence again. They looked at Liu Lancheng and said, "Then General Liu, be careful..."

"There are still [-] soldiers and horses in the city, and I will leave everything to General Sheng." Liu Lancheng bowed solemnly to Master Sheng Yan.

"I will prepare a banquet for General Liu's triumphant return." Master Sheng Yan returned the courtesy.

"it is good."

Liu Lancheng nodded. Seeing that the soldiers outside the city were ready, he rushed down the city with his own soldiers and led an army of [-] to march southward. The fire dragon can't be seen at a glance.

"Treasure." Master Sheng Yan sighed, and said to the generals and school around him: "The matter is very important tonight, we must not be careless, we must strictly guard and take precautions."

"The last will obey."

A group of generals suddenly responded.

……

Three or four miles southwest of Dingyuan, behind a hill, more than [-] Sui soldiers recharged their batteries and took the time to sleep. Piles of mosquito-repelling wormwood were still burning in the camping area, and the smoke was lingering.The weather has gradually become hotter, and there are a lot of mosquitoes in the swamps and jungles. Soldiers and war horses have become their crazy targets. Applying the juice on the body will prevent mosquitoes from invading, and burning it into smoke can repel mosquitoes. In this area, although there are many mosquitoes, the soldiers and horses of the Sui army slept very peacefully.

On a hill, Yang Tong put down the thousand miles in his hand, turned his head and said with a smile, "Wei Jun stretches like a surging river, and is like the Yellow River flooding out of control. It's really spectacular."

Since it is expected that the Wei army will attack the camp at night, Yang Yu, who has many soldiers, will naturally not sit on the sidelines and wait for rabbits. He is only satisfied with annihilating the army that leaves the city. , So I personally led the Xuanjia Army and the [-] Xiaoguo Army to bypass Quting Mountain and came to Dingyuan County along the Baimao River at the western source of Wuyi River.It doesn't matter if the Wei army doesn't leave the city, it's a big deal to make a plan to exhaust the army overnight. Fortunately, the Wei army has fallen for it. Judging from the size of its army, even if it is not all out, it is the main force, which allows him to capture Dingyuan The city has a little more chance of winning.

"The Holy Majesty really guessed right, Wei Jun really left the city." Yin Mingyue next to him said.

"This Liu Lancheng is a smart man. He knows that Dingyuan's army seems to be numerous, but they can't stop the Sui army who is coming with a big victory. Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it's better to put all the eggs in one basket. If you win, you will gain, and if you lose, it will be nothing. It’s just ahead of time.” Yang Tong sat down on a rock, and Wei Jun went out as he wished, feeling that he could brag to his heart’s content: “When I decide on this strategy, I’m [-]% sure, if not , how could you come here to taste mosquitoes?"

"The sage has a wonderful plan, and the final general will worship him." Yuchi, who had no idea that Yang Tong was prepared, respectfully embraced him with boundless admiration.

"My lord, the main force of the enemy army has already left, when will we attack the city?" Wang Xiongdan, who was also adored, couldn't wait.

"Two hours later." Yang Tong said without hesitation: "The Wei army marched at a normal speed, only twenty or thirty miles an hour, and entered the ambush circle in about two hours. We will attack the city at that time, and you will also Get back and rest."

At this time, several Asura guards brought several hourglasses, filled them with two hours' worth of sand, and handed them over to the generals.

"The last general obeys." The generals bowed, took the hourglass, and returned to the headquarters.

Yin Mingyue spread out an oilcloth on an open space, and then covered it with a layer of blankets for Yang Tong to rest, and then took a group of Asura Guards to fortify.

Yang Tong was lying on the blanket with his hands behind his head, and Yang Qinfang spread her bedding beside him. She felt that there should be no difference between men and women when marching outside, so she lay down reclining with peace of mind and without avoiding suspicion.

Under the faint moonlight, Yang Tong turned his head to look at the hourglass beside his head, and couldn't help sighing: "This life is really boring. And the most boring thing is to look at the hourglass and look at it stupidly." Time goes by little by little.”

Yang Qinfang laughed crisply: "How can your life be boring?"

Yang Tong looked at the crescent moon shuttling through the clouds and said: "These years have been either fighting or training; either military affairs or government affairs... When I arrived in Luoyang, I went to court, discussed affairs, ate, governed, and slept every day... I repeated the first day every day. way of life, isn't this boring?"

Yang Qinfang blinked her eyes, and said with a light smile: "Thousands of people in the world will live and die by you. I don't know how many people envy your life. Let's take Li Yuan and Li Mi as examples. They don't want to live a happy life." Did you rebel in this kind of life? Now you are "drunk lying on the lap of a beautiful woman, awake to hold the power of the world", oh, it should be said that "there is a beautiful woman by your side, and you can bury thousands of people with a word", how can you be bored?

Yang Tong said: "At best, it's just a green fruit, where is the beauty?"

Yang Qinfang snorted coldly, with an inexplicable taste in her eyes: "So you are bored and want to have that beautiful woman by your side?"

Yang Tong smiled wryly and said: "You girl, these days are so weird, just like June Day, it changes as soon as it is said. The sky was still clear a moment ago, but in a blink of an eye it was covered with dark clouds, and it rained cats and dogs in a short while. Did not offend you."

"It's not because of..."

"Because of what?"

Yang Qinfang turned over, ignored Yang Tong, and replied angrily in her heart, "Isn't it because you slept with Yin Mingyue?" '

Yang Tong shook his head, "The ancients said 'Only women and villains are difficult to raise' is indeed true, I don't bother to talk to you."

"I'm too lazy to talk to you." Yang Qinfang became even more angry.

After being silent for a while, Yang Tong said again: "I really hope that boy Zheng'er will grow up quickly, so that I can become the Supreme Emperor."

"Cut, you are still too emperor? You are old Guigeng." Yang Qinfang turned around again and said, "If you are less than 50 or [-] years old, you can't give up at all. Even if the royal family agrees, the civil and military officials will not allow you to hand over the throne to me." A little guy."

Yang Tong sighed, and suddenly thought in a low voice: "Maotou boy can't do it, then after I unify the world, I will give the throne to the emperor's grandfather. He is old, let me wait for a while, and I will pass it on to Zheng." Son."

Yang Qinfang was completely dazed, her big black and white eyes were wide open, and her heart was already messed up in the night wind...

As a grandson, he actually wants to pass the throne to his grandfather?As a grandfather, he actually wants to inherit the throne from his grandson?

Can the throne still be passed on like this?
Did I hear it wrong?
"It's crazy." After a long while, Yang Qinfang groaned speechlessly, and said angrily: "The good-looking emperor doesn't want to be an emperor, but he wants to give up in every possible way. Why are you so unambitious?"

Yang Tong smiled and said, "I'm so busy every day that I don't have time to eat, what's the point?"

Yang Qinfang was in a hurry: "I don't even know what you're talking about, so can't you pursue it a little bit?"

Yang Tong said angrily, "What do you know? There's no computer, no airplane ride, no games to play. The food I eat as an emperor is not as good as that of a mediocre man. It's still comfortable in the old days."

Yang Qinfang couldn't understand what he was talking about at all, and said helplessly, "The world hasn't been unified yet, so don't you have any ideals?"

"My ideal is actually very simple, that is to ride the strongest horse, drink the best wine, eat the best food, and play the most..." Yang Tong turned his eyes to Yang Qinfang, hehe twice, and kept silent. .

Yang Qinfang sneered: "Keep talking! Why don't you talk?"

Yang Tong turned his head and ignored her.

But Yang Qinfang didn't let him go, and said very frankly: "Look, don't you just ride the strongest horse, drink the best wine, eat the best food, and play with the most beautiful girl? If you are not the emperor How can there be such a good life? So, you should still be your emperor."

Yang Tong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It seems to be the case."

"What does it seem like? It's what it is." Yang Qinfang won Yang Tong's fight and stopped talking.

"Actually, my request is not high, I just listen to a plate of tiger skin green peppers"

"There are plenty of tigers. I'll hunt a tiger for you some other day."

Yang Tong really wanted to submit the dish 'Couple's Lung Slices', to see if she came back from hunting a couple, after thinking about it, he said, "You have tiger skin, but where are the green peppers?"

"What's a green pepper?"

"Green pepper is a kind of plant, which can be seasoned and spicy. We don't have it in the Central Plains."

"Where is it?"

"The other side of the sea."

"Wo country?"

"Waguo is in the middle of the sea, and to the east, there is a very large piece of land, where there are green peppers, red peppers, and potatoes or something."

Yang Qinfang was silent for a while, and didn't ask him how he knew there was a continent on the other side of the sea, but asked about the appearance of peppers and potatoes

What Yang Tong didn't know was that Yang Qinfang actually took a fleet across the Bering Strait, went south along the coast, and arrived in South America, where he brought him peppers, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.

Two hours passed quickly.

Under the leadership of Yang Yu himself, the Xuanjia Army, together with Yu Chigong, quietly approached the city wall of the west city of Dingyuan.

The defenders on the city didn't notice anything, they could see their heads shaking when they got close, and they were obviously dozing off from a distance.

About ten feet away from the city wall, the soldiers and horses of the Xuanjia Army stopped immediately.

Yang Tong looked at the defense of the city wall carefully, and couldn't help laughing. The main force of Dingyuan's defenders was mainly in the direction of the south city, and the defense on the west side was very lax. Perhaps he never thought that the Sui army would launch a counterattack at this time.

"Get ready!" Yang Tong said in a deep voice.

In the team, dozens of soldiers rushed out quickly. Behind them, some soldiers laid planks on the moat, and twenty soldiers ran to the bottom of the city carrying ten ladders, and just opened them.The forty soldiers climbed up "crawling", grabbed the crenel on the city wall, jumped hard, and landed on the city wall like civet cats.

The soldiers of the defending Wei army who were still dozing heard the movement and quickly opened their eyes. When they entered their eyes, they saw a dazzling cold light suddenly rushed towards them under the reflection of the fire.

"Puff puff~"

Soldiers of the Wei Army continued to be beheaded to the ground while half asleep and half awake. At the same time, the second batch of soldiers under the city wall also began to charge.

"Enemy attack."

After a while, someone finally noticed the enemy's attack, but the shouting stopped abruptly in the middle, but even so, his mournful roar was enough to wake up those Wei soldiers who were half asleep.

"kill!"

Yu Chigong leaped onto the female wall in a few steps, the surrounding enemy troops had been cleared away, but there were enemy troops coming towards this side continuously, holding a steel whip in one hand and a sharp knife in the other, his black face was flushed. With a fierce killing intent, he waved his knife and whip like a tiger out of prison, and charged into the crowd, almost without a match. Mo Dao slashed towards the other side, widening the gap.

A group of soldiers rushed to the tower, grabbed the winch, and lowered the drawbridge.

"continue!"

Yang Tong under the city wall saw that the enemy was on alert, and continued to command the soldiers to ascend the city to assist. At the same time, a group of soldiers rushed up the suspension bridge with a temporary battering hammer made of several logs, and slammed into the city gate.

Although the Wei army found that the enemy was approaching fiercely and rushed over to support them, but there were not many defenders tonight, and the city wall was only so wide, it was impossible to take advantage of the number of people, but the Xuanjia army outside the city was endless. He climbed to the top of the city, and Wei Jun, who was beaten into a daze, was quickly killed into chaos.

"Woo~woo~woo~"

The desolate sound of the horn broke the silence of the night, and the entire Dingyuan City began to become chaotic.

"Boom~"

At this time, the city gate was completely smashed open by the siege team.

The Xiaoguo army, who had been prepared for a long time, rode into the city.
