The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 963 Send him to hell

Early in the morning in Luo County, Shu County, where the sun has not yet risen, the sky is gray, and the trees and grass in the forest are covered with a layer of pale autumn frost.When the morning sun rises from the east, the golden rays of the sun fill the mountains, fields and cities of Shu County. As the heavy smog gradually fades, the city of Luo County becomes clearer.

The morning glow sprinkled on the head of Luoxian County, and the swords and armors of the soldiers guarding the city shone magnificently. If you only look at the top of the city, it will make people feel very beautiful, but as long as you move your eyes down, what you see is bloody and broken Dead corpses; some curled up, with pain on their faces; some had broken heads and incomplete parts; some were smashed into meatloaf by stones, deeply embedded in the ground, and blood The earth was dyed red as a whole.

The soldiers of the Tang army on the city watched the Sui army camp under the morning mist, and their eyes showed horror and terror. At this time, the first and fifth armies of the Sui Dynasty had all assembled outside Luo County, and the slave soldiers , Auxiliary soldiers, the whole army has more than [-] people.Large camps that stretched for more than ten miles rose from the ground, encircling the south, east, and north of Luo County as far as the eye could see.

Yang Tong didn't have any good intentions in doing this, because the left side was just facing the direction of Jiulong County, and the terrain here was relatively flat, which was favorable for the cavalry to charge. The Long Tang army came out to rescue and fought a decisive battle with the Sui army in the field; second, once the Tang army in Luoxian County was defeated, they would bring panic to the Jiulong camp.

After Yang Tong received the news that the Tang army in the north had been completely annihilated, he issued a general attack order. Under Yang Tong's command, Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan, Mai Zhongcai, Wang Xiongdan, Xue Wanbei, Gao Yan, Fan Qin and other generals, and even Liu Rengui Confucian generals of the war-seeking faction like Laiji and Laiji also went to the front line and repeatedly attacked Luo County.Yang Tong's intention is very simple, that is, he hopes that generals, big and small, will be tempered in battle.

More than a hundred Flying Shenzhous are showing great power these days. The Flying Army fired arrows condescendingly at the beginning. Although the effect was good, the effect was more of a kind of spiritual suppression, not to mention the huge consumption. Tang Jun shot down with a giant crossbow, and over time, it was no longer able to deter the Tang Jun who was used to it.

After so many days of fighting, the Flying Army has also summed up many insidious tactics. Airdropping kerosene is a conventional method, and the arrows have been replaced by the Flying Army with bowl-sized stones. Go to a height where even a crossbow can't shoot, and then throw stone rain from the sky. The stones that fall from the sky, after being accelerated at high altitude, are stronger than arrows, but not weaker. In severe cases, his forehead would be cracked, even if he had a helmet, he would not be able to prevent the remaining power.If the wind was blowing towards Luo County, they would throw lime powder from the upper wind, and even worse, they would throw human and animal feces into the military barracks in the city. The feces and urine that fell from the sky made the barracks smell bad. Don't mention the taste, all in all, all the dirty ideas that could be thought of were used by Fei Tianjun on Tang Jun's head, making Tang Jun in Luo County miserable.

Yesterday evening, [-] Tubo troops rushed out of the city under the leadership of the commander-in-chief Niang Shangnang when the Sui army called for gold to retreat.I wanted to catch the Sui army by surprise, but Yang Tong had been guarding against this cavalry all along. When they dispersed the siege soldiers and killed the central part of the Sui army, thousands of beehive crossbows that were waiting in full force concentrated their power and drove them away. All of them were wiped out under the city of Luo County, and the corpses outside the city were yesterday's masterpiece. The power generated by the chariot crossbow that broke the ground that day not only killed the Tubo army, but also made the defenders in the city feel powerless. What was born was war weariness and war fear.

At this time, Changsun Shunde heard that the enemy was coming to attack the city again, so he immediately put on rain gear to avoid the airdropped shit, and rushed to the city, and urgently mobilized [-] troops to defend the city. When he heard that rolling logs and stones was very expensive , It was nearly exhausted, and all the houses near the city wall were demolished, and all the bricks, wood and stones obtained were used to defend the city. The city should be in the stone.

Chen Shi Shi Min, 'Boom!Boom!With the sound of drums and horns resounding across the land, more than 2 slave soldiers of the Sui Dynasty rushed to the city like a tide. They held shields and carried hundreds of climbing ladders several feet high. Shout to kill the sky.

They first used wooden boards to cross the moat and act as a bridge. They did not make the slightest tentative attack at all, and launched a violent attack directly.

On the city, the arrows of the Tang army were like rainstorms, and they shot at the slave soldiers densely. Although the slave soldiers were also covered by shields, the army was too dense, and they were still shot down in large numbers. The iron hooks on hundreds of city ladders hooked the walls. The vanguard climbed up to attack, and boulders and logs fell down like hailstones. A string of slave soldiers were hit, screaming and rolling down from the siege ladder, but new slave soldiers came to the city to attack.

The flying Shenzhou in the sky and the catapults behind the slave soldiers also began to fight. The overwhelming stones mixed with the rain of black arrows fell down. The Tang army at the top of the city was crushed and could only hide under the shield or the tower. The sparse counterattack was weak. In fact, the war seemed to have already announced the result the moment Yang Tong decided to launch a general offensive.

The siege battle was fierce, with arrows flying across the city, corpses piling up, and both sides throwing heavy troops into the battle.

Under the all-round attack of the siege force composed of the flying army, city-breaking crossbows, various siege equipment, elite archers and slave soldiers, even the reserve army joined in, but it did not help the battle situation much. Less than a quarter of an hour after the start of the battle, he rushed to the city smoothly and began to slam the door crazily.

At this time, a dangerous situation appeared in Beicheng. Under the cover of the sky and the ground, the first batch of slave soldiers rushed to the top of the city and began to fight fiercely with the soldiers of the Tang army. More and more slave soldiers rushed to the top of the city. The situation in Beicheng was extremely critical.With a loud roar, Changsun Shunde's soldiers rushed into the enemy group and started a bloody battle with the slave soldiers.

Changsun Shunde roared and raised a boulder, and smashed it down towards the gate of the city. A siege vehicle was directly smashed by the boulder. The following arrows shot the unprotected siege soldiers into hedgehogs.

But the scrapped siege engine was quickly pushed away, and two more siege engines were pushed forward, and began to crazily smash into the city gate.

Changsun Shunde was about to do the same, but was thrown to the ground by a Tang soldier. Dozens of spear-like arrows pierced through the air, nailing dozens of Tang soldiers beside them to the broken tower. superior.

Jing Ji also arrived under the push of the slave soldiers. That well was much higher than the city wall of Luo County. The crossbowmen on the top began to suppress the Tang army soldiers on the city wall. At the same time, the catapults also started to attack. The soldiers were also very brave, but faced with the endless siege equipment of the Sui army and the suppression of the flying army from the sky, they were powerless to resist. They watched helplessly as one after another siege ladders were built on the city wall. Breaking away from slavery and obtaining the nationality of the people of the Sui Dynasty, they all rushed to the top of the city without fear of death, and fought with the Tang army defending the city.

"Drive them out! Drive them all out!" Coach Dou Gui also walked around the city wall with a sword in his hand, frantically swiping his sword and beheading the two slave soldiers who had just come up. He didn't expect the Sui army to attack the city today. It would be so swift and violent. With these siege weapons and the suppression of the flying army, the Tang army defending the city could not give full play to the advantage of defending the city. Before holding on for an hour, they were killed by slave soldiers on the city wall.

Now that's the end of the matter, the only way to go is to die
It's just that Yang Yu's army of hundreds of battles has not yet been dispatched, and Tang Jun is only facing slave soldiers of foreign races. When Tang Jun soldiers lose the advantage of the city wall, the level of combat power can be distinguished at once, and often one slave soldier can fight off two to three soldiers. This soldier of the Tang army, with his ferocious and fearless aura, let alone an ordinary soldier, even Dou Gui felt terrified.If the most powerful first army came up, the result would be even more brutal.

Moreover, as more and more slave soldiers climbed up the city wall, the shortcomings of the Tang army's insufficient combat power, low morale, and poor equipment became more prominent. Most of the slave soldiers sent by Yang Tong this time were during the war The elite soldiers who were eliminated were only one step away from becoming citizens of the Sui Dynasty. After years of training, these Sui soldiers also knew some combined attack techniques. Often, three or five people occupied a section of the city wall to support more soldiers to go to the city. So Ren Dou Gui yelled out his throat, and Tang Jun's space for activities kept falling.

"Kill, kill." At this moment, a violent roar sounded not far from him.

It was Changsun Shunde who watched his own soldiers being continuously beheaded by the enemy, and let out an angry roar. He was like a whirlwind and killed back and forth among the crowd. Wherever he passed, even the slave soldiers who had gathered together irresistible.

"Is this person Changsun Shunde?" Yang Tong, Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan, Fang Xuanling, and Ling Jing stood side by side, watching the battle on the city with binoculars. Since the Tang army on the city wall was almost completely defeated, Changsun Shunde looked particularly dazzling .Although the eldest grandson Shunde is the uncle of the elder grandson Wugou, but Yang Tong didn't know him, so he asked aloud.

"It's him. Changsun Shunde is the son of Changsun Kai and the brother of General Changsun Sheng. He is also a brave warrior." Ling Jing, who was in charge of the situation, introduced: "He served in You Xunwei during the Daye period. In order to avoid the Battle of Goguryeo launched by the late emperor, Changsun Shunde hid in Taiyuan City, and was taken in by Li Yuan as a guest, and Li Yuan secretly recruited soldiers and trained with Liu Hongji, Liu Wenjing and others. So many elite soldiers."

"Liu Wenjing, Pei Ji, Liu Hongji, Duan Zhixuan, Yu Zhining and others are all dead. He is living alone, and he is really too lonely." Yang Tong put down the binoculars and said flatly, "Send him to hell."

"Your Majesty, leave this person to the last general!" Pei Xingyan put the bright silver hammer on his back and rode his horse towards the city wall.

Tang Jun had been suppressed and beaten by the slave soldiers at this time, and he was unable to take care of the city, but seeing Pei Xing like a cheetah, he ran up the city wall along the siege ladder a few times, just as he saw Changsun Shunde stabbing a slave The soldiers hacked to death, and the one with the right sword and the left hammer killed them.

A terrifying pressure that he had never experienced before made Zhang Sun Shunde's movements froze, and he turned his head to look subconsciously, but he saw a figure with a strong figure rushing towards him. A hammer that hits the head.

There was a loud sound of "Dang", and the terrifying force came from the two sabers. Changsun Shunde knelt down on one knee with a bang, and looked at Pei Xingyan with red eyes. He was also a mighty general among the generals of the Tang army, but Unexpectedly, when he arrived, he would smash him to his knees all at once.

"Some skills!" Pei Xingyan praised, and then smashed it down with another hammer.

Changsun Shunde let out a big gasp, and raised his saber again to block it.

"Dang" was another loud bang, Changsun Shunde's tiger's mouth burst, and a striking gap appeared in the two sabers in his hand.

"Die!" Pei Xingyan slammed ten times in one breath, and the elder Sun Shunde just knelt on the ground, with his two knives folded in front of him, forcibly blocked ten hammers, and his body was pushed on the ground Withdrew a dozen steps backwards, and with the final hammer falling, the two sabers came out in response.

Pei Xingyan stood up with the hammer back, and when he looked at Changsun Shunde again, he saw that the other party's eyes were wide open, his seven orifices were bleeding, and he had already lost his voice. He was shocked to death by him!
"What a good guy, but his eyesight is not good, and he followed a big traitor." Pei Xingyan shook his head.

The few remaining soldiers of Changsun Shunde saw their leader died in battle, and rushed towards Pei Xingyan like crazy.

"Looking for death." Pei Xingyan smirked, swung the knife and hammer away, these more than 30 capable soldiers of the Tang army, in a short time, let Pei Xingyan kill blood like a river, and the rest of the Tang army soldiers were timid, seeing that Pei Xingyan had malicious intentions Looking at himself, with a hula, he escaped cleanly.

The Tang army was already in decline, and the grandson Shunde alone used his personal bravery to control the field. Now that he forced Pei Xingyan to death, how could he still be the opponent of the slave soldiers?After a short period of support, the city was defeated and the city gate was smashed open at this time, and an endless stream of Sui troops poured into the city.

. . . . .

"Don't retreat, don't retreat! We can fight again." Dou Gui, who was soaked in blood, stood on the top of the wall and beheaded more than ten deserters.

However, the low morale of the Tang army became even more depressed as Pei Xingyan led his troops to the top of the tower and the city gate was broken. Even if Dou Gui ordered his personal guards to kill the deserters, it could not stop the collapsed Tang army from deserting.

Dou Gui grabbed a general who had escaped, and roared with red eyes: "As a member of the Li clan, why do you want to run away?"

"Xiangguo, I..." The general was about to say something, but Dou Gui's sword had already pierced his chest and abdomen.

"Cowards, you are all cowards who betray your country..." Dou Gui pulled out his sword from the general's chest, chopped off more than a dozen soldiers who kneeled and surrendered, and swept away the surrounding area. Of the soldiers, he was the only one still standing, and the rest were kneeling beside the battlements with empty hands.

Seeing that Dou Gui was crazy, all the Tang soldiers around hid away.

When Yang Tong, Luo Shixin, Fang Xuanling, Ling Jing and others led a group of Xuanjia troops to the top of the city, they saw Dou Gui with disheveled hair chasing several generals of the Tang army. The slave soldiers didn't stop Dou Gui either, they were watching the fun with a smile on the sidelines, and Yang Tong even saw a general of the Tang army in bright light armor fleeing to Pei Xingyan's side, and he was tricked by him and tripped to the ground. The front is a sword.

"These seem to be the children of the Li family and their relatives." Ling Jing who was at the side said in a low voice.

"..." Yang Tong paused, turned around and walked to the other side, watching the excitement from a distance.

It wasn't until Dou Gui finished beheading several generals that the heroic Li Xiuning, Yin Mingyue, Yang Qinfang, and Lan Xueer led a group of Asura guard female soldiers up the stone ladder, and then Yang Tong walked towards Dou Gui, serious and righteous He shouted: "Dou Gui, you have gone too far. Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. How can you blame the soldiers?"

"Yang Renjin?" Dou Gui saw Yang Yu who was left behind in the Eastern Capital in Luoyang, and recognized him immediately.

"It's me." Yang Tong said with a smile, "Dou Gui, you are a son of a famous family and the prime minister of the false Tang Dynasty, but the puppet Tang Dynasty you are loyal to is gone. When will you see me not kneeling and surrendering?"

"I, Dou Gui, is the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, how can I surrender the thief?" Dou Gui sneered, and put the bloody sword across his neck, with a ferocious smile on his face, and then slammed it hard, killing him on the spot.

"He has a beginning, an end, and a kind, he is a good man." Yang Tong praised with a thumbs up.

"..." Fang Xuanling and Ling Jingjin all looked speechless: You said that he is a son of a famous family, a fake Tang Xiangguo, and you made him kneel down, and he had to commit suicide for the sign of "a son of a famous family".Otherwise, it would be a disgrace to Dou's ancestors.

"Qizou Shengshang, the city of Luo County has been completely controlled! All Tang troops in the city have surrendered." Mai Zhongcai, who was in charge of today's siege battle, came to Yang Tong's side and bowed.

"Yeah." Yang Tong nodded, and said to him, "Immediately lead the troops of the headquarters to attack Jiulong City, regardless of whether Mr. Na Luo and Mr. Jing Junhong surrender, don't show mercy, just kill them on the spot! Remember... All military officers above the school lieutenant, no matter who they are, will be killed without mercy!"

A visit to Luoxian County represents the opening of the city of Chengdu. Li Yuan did not hand over the fields of the factions loyal to him, such as the Dou family, the Xiao family, and the Chen family. It is good, but in Yang Tong's view, it is not perfect and thorough, so he carried out Li Yuan's unfinished business to the end.

"The last general obeys orders." Mai Zhongcai accepted the order.

"Luo Shixin, Xue Wanbei, you two lead [-] soldiers into Xingle County... Your mission is not to take down the small city of Xingle County, but to lure the Tang army out of the tall Chengdu City and annihilate it."

When he said the last sentence, Yang Tong's tone was already full of murderous intent.He knew that if he led his troops to the city of Chengdu, he believed that there would be many people who were on both sides of the wind and knew the time to vote. If Yang Tong wanted to kill them, it would be easy to cause public anger. He would govern in the name of benevolence and righteousness in the future. This is a world, so many things must be done in battle before he arrives in Chengdu.

"The general obeys orders!" Luo Shixin and Xue Wanbei bowed in agreement, then turned and left.
