The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

74 Too late
On the outskirts of Yuanping City in Yanmen County, the night is as thick as ink!
"Your Majesty, you can't go on like this!" Ten days later, General Pan Lun of Liu Wuzhou looked into the distance, and there was a bright fire in the distance!

That was where Yang Tong was stationed, and the two sides didn't even set up tents, so they camped out in the open.

Liu Wuzhou was undoubtedly in a bad mood, and his face was covered with a lot of wind and frost, and there was even a trace of dish color. During this time, he hadn't even touched a bit of minced meat, and the bird had already faded out of his mouth. He didn't even have time to eat. Not at all, Yang Tong followed behind like a talisman, neither sick nor slow, very chic, like walking with tens of thousands of troops.

He fled all the way to the north, and asked people to gather troops from various cities to rescue him, but the other party followed like brown sugar.What's more terrible is that the opponent's number is far more than him.

Although the subsequent attack was not so fierce, the impact on the morale of the army was fatal. His reinforcements had just arrived during the day and surrendered at night. How can this battle be fought?
"What else can I do? Do what a strong man would do by cutting off his wrists, order the elite to return to Shanyang, and then rely on the natural dangers to train the elite soldiers hard. As for the old and weak, let them go!"

Liu Wuzhou felt deeply uneasy, Yang Tong followed unhurriedly, neither attacking nor retreating, it was almost impossible that there were no plots and tricks inside, he had to get away from Yang Tong in the shortest possible time.

"Who is the queen?" Pan Lun glanced into the distance.

"Of course we can't break the queen." Liu Wuzhou said without hesitation.The army who stayed behind was almost doomed, and Yang Tong might not be so merciful to his subordinates.

"It's better for the army to advance, and it doesn't matter who is behind. Whoever can run is the elite. Whoever follows His Majesty is a loyal minister and good general." Yuan Lun said with rolling eyes.

Liu Wuzhou nodded after hearing this!
Early the next morning, after Yang Tong fed his horse a bag of fine grains, Shui Tianji strode over and said crisply, "Husband, Liu Wuzhou has already moved, and the speed is much faster."

In the past few days, almost all her flying feather bow cavalry are fighting!She is so beautiful in her heart, she doesn't care about credit, only cares about Yang Tong's praise.

"Did he abandon the old and the weak?"

Yang Tong got on his horse and looked into the distance. Sure enough, he saw a puff of black smoke moving fast in the distance. Behind the army, there were many soldiers moving slowly. soldiers.

"Liu Wuzhou is really cruel and ruthless. The soldiers under his command abandon him as soon as they say they want to. What should we do now?".

"What else can I do? Naturally, I will chase after him."

Yang Tong smiled indifferently and said: "We are chasing so slowly to buy time for Li Jing! Now that he has abandoned his soldiers, the morale of the army has been affected. We don't care about these people. Let them hide aside. If the descendants don’t kill them, I don’t believe they will sincerely resist our iron cavalry.”

"The old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled he abandoned are just poor people. Those who follow him are the traitors we want to kill..." Yang Tong's eyes flashed coldly.

"Brothers, a group of lambs is right in front of you, everyone follow me, rush over and kill them."

Tens of thousands of troops roared past, like overwhelming mountains and seas, and killed Liu Wuzhou's army, shouting to kill the sky. Liu Wuzhou, who was advancing in the distance, glanced back, but saw smoke rising into the sky in the distance. Sighing slightly in his heart, he continued to move forward with his head lowered, not paying attention to the things behind him at all, those people were objects he could abandon at any time, and death was death.

"Those who surrender will not be killed." Yang Tong ignored the old and the weak, and tens of thousands of troops roared past.

"Those who surrender will not be killed." The tens of thousands of generals following behind roared, and Liu Wuzhou in the distance couldn't help trembling, not daring to look back at all!

It's not that he hasn't thought about fighting back, but Yang Tong is too treacherous. Every time he fights back, the opponent will run away, but he is slowed down by the opponent. The morale of the army has dropped to the lowest point, and there are deserters almost every day.Liu Wuzhou really wanted to cry but didn't know how long Yang Tong would play tricks on him.

For Liu Wuzhou these few days, it has been a nightmare, he can't sleep well, he can't even eat well, every time when the army is preparing to eat, Yang Tong's army will rush up, or hack and kill, Or a rain of arrows, no matter where you are in the mood to eat, you will be beaten by Yang Tong along the way.The same goes for sleeping.

If he attacked himself, he would retreat, and if he retreated, he would attack. Liu Wuzhou thought of many ways, but he couldn't help Yang Tong. Now he only hopes to escape to Loufan Pass in victory, relying on the dangerous pass to defend against the enemy from outside the country.

What he didn't know was that Li Jing was standing on the mountainside in front of a valley in Guancen Mountain, a hundred miles ahead of him.

"Are you all ready?" Listening to the footsteps behind, Li Jing's voice was very flat.

"Back to the general, everything is ready, even some common people came to help, the sides of the mountain road are already covered with weeds, and the fire oil is also ready, just wait for Liu Wuzhou to enter the mountain road, and start lighting the fire."

Liu Zhenghui sighed: "Those mountain people knew that we were here to eliminate Liu Wuzhou, and they all came to help us enthusiastically."

"Liu Wuzhou does all kinds of evil. Look at what he has made of Mayi. He really deserves to die." Li Jing said bitterly, "Liu Wuzhou is like locusts passing through the territory. There is no grass growing in the places they pass. I'm afraid he would never have dreamed of it. Although Qi Yan is arrogant, he has lost his spies, his eyes and ears, and he will never know what traps are waiting for him in front of him."

"How far is Liu Wuzhou from us?" Li Jing's eyes showed murderous intent. Liu Wuzhou, an ungrateful and violent person, should not stay in this world.

Su Dingfang said: "There is still a day or so."

Li Jing nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Then get people ready, and set fire to Liu Wuzhou tomorrow! Avenge General Wang Rengong."

……

At noon the next day!

Liu Wuzhou led the diehards to walk on the official road with a dignified expression. Although the ambush had not yet appeared at this time, Yang Tong's soldiers and horses were still following behind, and the distance was getting closer and closer. What made him helpless was that in order to To deal with the cavalry of the Sui Dynasty, he gathered all the cavalry together, and now even the spies were using soldiers with better feet, which made him a little flustered.

"Is there a spy coming to report?" Liu Wuzhou asked Pan Lun beside him: "I always feel that the ambush is nearby, we'd better be careful, Yang Tong will never let us go."

"Not yet. There are mountain roads for twenty miles ahead. If you want to investigate carefully, the soldiers must come back slowly." Pan Lun explained in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, this is already our heartland, and there are no changes in the towns along the way. It is impossible for Li Yuan's [-] troops to deceive the eyes and ears of so many cities."

Liu Wuzhou calmed down and ordered an urgent march!
On the mountainside in the distance, behind the boulder, a man cupped his hands towards Li Jing, indicating that he was ready. After a while, Liu Wuzhou shot a cymbal into the forest, and ordered people to shout loudly. After a group of birds rushed out from the forest, Liu Wuzhou Only then did he order the soldiers to advance.

Li Jing looked at the faintly visible smoke and dust rising into the sky from the distance of the official road, it should be Yang Tong's cavalry, and said to the soldiers immediately: "Shoot the command arrow and burn Liu Wuzhou."

Liu Wuzhou, who was walking on the official road, entered the mountain road, feeling more uneasy in his heart. He looked around, but he didn't know that it was autumn and the weeds were growing, or it was like this himself. I saw more and more lush.Liu Wuzhou couldn't help jumping off the horse, looked carefully at the wild grass beside him, and suddenly saw that there was still a trace of moisture on it, couldn't help but stepped forward to touch it, then put it to his nose and smelled it, his complexion changed.

"Go back, go back."

Liu Wuzhou yelled loudly, and at the same time flew on his horse and rushed outward, he smelled the smell of kerosene.

At this time, there was a loud howl, and then countless black-armored soldiers appeared on the mountain peaks on both sides. I saw countless flames shooting up into the sky, dyeing the whole valley red, and then saw countless wine jars falling from the sky, not only falling into the grass, but even hitting the soldiers. When they touched the sparks, they burned even more Ferocious, for a moment, on the mountain road, there were screams again and again.
