The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 472 Xue Rengui fights Gai Suwen
"I'm afraid father is already trapped on Phoenix Mountain at this time. It's really fate that no one can change it." Li Chengqian looked in the direction of Phoenix Mountain and said with a sigh.

"Your Highness, why worry? The emperor has 5 people guarding him. In addition, his father and Marshal Yuchi are also there. Even if there is an ambush, it is impossible to hurt the emperor." Xu Liang said to Li Chengqian.

"Order the Four Elephant Guards to lead the army, and march with the king to Phoenix Mountain early tomorrow morning." Li Chengqian said to Xu Liang.

……

Here Li Chengqian was secretly worried, while Xue Rengui had already led people out of Phoenix City.Ready to go to Phoenix Mountain to rescue him.

But just five miles away from Phoenix City, a group of people appeared in front of them.The number of people has reached at least [-] or more.

And a general with a red copper knife in his hand has already urged his horse to come towards Xue Rengui.

Xue Rengui swung Fang Tian's halberd in his hand, and the troops behind him immediately completed formation, ready to deal with the enemy army in front of them.

Although there was a huge gap in the number of people, Tang Jun did not show the slightest intention on his face.On the contrary, everyone is full of fighting spirit and morale.

Xue Rengui stepped off his horse with both feet, and came to the front of the two armies.He opened his mouth and shouted loudly: "What is the name of the person coming from the other party? I, Xue Rengui, will not kill the unknown."

The general said loudly, "This commander is Gai Suwen, Generalissimo of Goguryeo. If my guess is correct, you are planning to go to Phoenix Mountain to rescue Li Shimin, right?"

"Then listen to my commander's persuasion, and quickly lead your troops back to Phoenix City. Then take your people and go back to Datang. Because with this commander here, you won't be able to make it through at all."

Yes, it was the Goguryeo general Gai Suwen who came.After receiving information from Ruan Shiliang, he directly led people across the Yalu River, preparing to trap Phoenix City.

It's just that ten miles away from Phoenix City, they met Xue Rengui who came out of the city.So this unexpected battle happened like this.

When Xue Rengui heard that the other party was Gai Suwen, he rushed towards him without saying a word.At the same time, he waved Fang Tian's painting halberd in his hand, and smashed Gai Suwendu's head off.

I saw that Gai Suwen raised the red copper saber in his hand and forcibly held Xue Rengui and Fang Tian's painted halberd.

Xue Rengui immediately took back Fang Tian's painting halberd when he failed in one blow.He casually swept towards Gai Suwen's waist again.

Gai Suwen didn't expect Xue Rengui's reaction to be so fast, and hastily knocked out again with the red copper knife in his hand.Knocked out Xue Rengui's Fang Tian painting halberd again.

In this way, the two horses pedaled wrongly, and the two generals completed the first round of fighting.Then they each turned their horses to kill them together.

In the blink of an eye, the two fought for nearly fifty rounds, but they still couldn't tell the winner.

At this moment, there was a sound of Mingjin in the Goguryeo army.This made Gai Suwen unmotivated to fight again, and retreated back to the front with a feint.

Naturally, Xue Rengui didn't go after him, and also turned his horse's head back to the main formation.He wanted to see what the hell Gai Suwen was going to do.

Why didn't Xue Rengui directly lead his troops to kill a bloody road, and then went to Phoenix Mountain to rescue him?

First of all, Xue Rengui has only 2 horses around him. Although they are all under Xue Rengui's training, they have become elite soldiers and strong generals.But it is not an easy task to break through the defense of the [-] troops.

Even if he was lucky enough to break through the siege, he would have to face the ambush from Phoenix Mountain in the end.At that time, the people on my side will be exhausted, and there will be no power to fight again.

So even if you go to Phoenix Mountain, it is useless, and it may even not only fail to save Li Shimin.I am afraid that my [-] brothers will all catch up.

After Gai Suwen returned to the formation, his face became very gloomy, and he asked directly, "Why did Ming Jin withdraw his troops all of a sudden?"

At this time, Amulun said to Gai Suwen: "General Marshal, I didn't expect the Tang army to have an ambush in Phoenix Mountain."

"Surprisingly, our army was hit hard by a surprise. Now Ruan Shiliang sent someone to send a letter, hoping that the Generalissimo can send someone to help."

After hearing this, Gai Suwen couldn't help being furious, and scolded Ruan Shiliang for not succeeding enough but failing.However, scolding is scolding, and in the end he is going to bring people to support him.

After all, if Li Shimin was allowed to escape from Phoenix Mountain, then all his arrangements would be completely in vain.

In the end, Gai Suwen personally led 3 people to Mount Phoenix.The remaining 7 horses were handed over to Amulun.

And ordered Amulun to cut off the road between Phoenix Mountain and Phoenix City.Don't let a single soldier of the Tang army go to Phoenix Mountain.

After speaking, he led the people towards Phoenix Mountain. After sending Gai Suwen away, Amulun brought his horse back to the front of the two armies.

And said directly: "The whole army obeys orders, and immediately lays down a trapped formation to cut off the road. If any Tang army forces to charge into the formation, they will be killed on the spot."

Following Amulun's order, the Goguryeo army began to change its formation.From the original marching formation to a solid formation.

There is a giant shield at the front to make a temporary defensive wall, and the soldiers behind the giant shield put their spears on the giant shield.Archers bend their bows and set arrows hidden behind a giant shield.

The cavalry detoured directly to the two wings, if the Tang army made the slightest move.You can charge Tang Jun at the first time.

Seeing the Goguryeo army lined up, Xue Rengui couldn't help frowning.It can be said that it is not an easy task to break through the defense of the Goguryeo army.

And at this moment, a golden eagle landed on Xue Rengui's shoulder, Xue Rengui hurriedly took the letter from the golden eagle's paw, and couldn't help but feel relieved after reading it.

It turned out that this letter was sent by Zhou Qing to Xue Rengui.Tell Xue Rengui that Li Shimin is safe now, even if the Goguryeo army attacks Phoenix Mountain, it is impossible to hurt Li Shimin at all.

……

"Zhou Qing, why did you suddenly appear in Phoenix Mountain?" Li Shimin asked Zhou Qing in a very secret cave.

"Reporting to the emperor, the last general was ordered by my eldest brother Xue Rengui. He led the troops to train in the Phoenix Mountain, but unexpectedly encountered an ambush attacking the emperor."

"So General Mo made a decisive decision and cooperated with General Wang Junke to defeat the enemy's ambush. Then he led the troops to rescue the brothers on the mountainside. Only then did the emperor come here smoothly." Zhou Qing said to Li Shimin.

After hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help nodding, and said, "It seems that Xue Rengui is indeed my savior. An unintentional military training actually saved my life."

"Your Majesty, the time has come. After the battle of Phoenix Mountain is over, your Majesty can meet Xue Rengui." Xu Maogong said with a smile on his face.

At this time, Yu Chigong, who was on the side, seemed to have thought of something suddenly, so he asked Xu Maogong directly: "Did you know that the emperor will be in danger when he comes to Phoenix Mountain?"
