Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 480
Two years ago, he was dismissed from his post because he made a wrong statement when receiving the envoy from the tribute agency.At that time, when asked about the origin of the crown system of the Silla Kingdom, the Silla envoy said: "Is there any gentleman in a great country who doesn't know the Pibian's remains?" "Since I came here, I haven't seen any rudeness except what you said just now." Yu Shitai impeached Li Zixiong for his gaffes, and he was dismissed for this reason.

Before the Eastern Expedition, Yang Guang recruited Xiaoguo. He originally asked Li Zixiong to organize and command. He immediately commanded when he took office, and the Sixth Army was purged. Therefore, Yu Wenshu was awarded the post of General Xiaowei, and he was awarded General Zuo Wuhou, but within a few days, he was dismissed again as a civilian because of Yu Wenshu's small report on him.

After his dismissal, he returned to his hometown in Bohai County.

Unexpectedly, because of Yang Xuangan's rebellion this time, the emperor remembered that Li Zixiong had a very good relationship with Yang Su and his son, so he sent envoys to detain him, which annoyed Li Zixiong. Sit down, woe from heaven.

In anger, he simply killed the envoy, and then ran to Xingyang to vote for Yang Xuangan.

Didn't you say that I will rebel, then I will really rebel!
Wei Fusi and others were forced to surrender, but Li Zixiong really came to vote, so Yang Xuangan was very enthusiastic about him, and compared to Wei Fusi and other second generations, Li Zixiong was a veteran.

Born as a general, he started fighting when he was young, and fought hundreds of thousands of times in his life. He served as a local governor, governor of Youzhou, and general of the twelve guards. He was outstanding in everything.

Moreover, there are many old students in the army, so Yang Xuangan couldn't be more happy when such an old man came to vote.

After the meeting, Yang Xuangan took Li Zixiong's hand into the tent of the Chinese army, and directly worshiped him as the marshal, and asked him to lead the [-] troops in the middle for him.

"Uncle Shi, there are two generals Zhang Xutuo and Pei Renji blocking the way at Xingyang Pass. I wonder if there is a way to break through it?" Yang Xuangan asked.

Li Zixiong is already old, but he is only from Li Jingyu Wenshu's generation.

Although he is old, he is still tough, tall and tall, with a red face, and his hands are like cattail fans.

Sitting there, not in a hurry.

"Zhang Xutuo and Pei Renji were both your father's subordinates back then, and they also fought with me. They can be called my old subordinates. But don't expect these two people to vote because of this. In Luoyang, the tiger prison must be broken first. The tiger prison is dangerous, but it does not mean that it cannot be broken."

"Dare to ask what's the plan?"

"If you are fully prepared, there are naturally various ways, but now, we are in a hurry, and we don't have time to besiege the city here for a long time, so there is only one way, and that is to attack fiercely, and take advantage of the defenders gathered at Xingyang Pass. Not much, let's attack fiercely and fight hard."

"Hard hit?"

Yang Xuan frowned.He originally hoped that Li Zixiong had a better way, but this hard fight was not a good way.

"Don't worry about it. It's impossible to fight smartly all the time. Hard fighting is the most important method. If you can't get around it, you have to fight hard."

"Then invite Uncle Shi to command."

Li Zixiong waved his hand, "It's not enough to fight hard. I suggest to attack Hulao by force, and at the same time send multiple troops to attack the counties in Henan, and even go to the south of Jianghuai Mountain. This will make it impossible for all regions to come to help Hulao." Second, it is also taking the opportunity to light fires everywhere. Now the people in the Central Plains are complaining about the Eastern Expedition. As long as the fire is ignited, there will be countless people responding. At that time, our momentum will be stronger. Maybe even get through to Luoyang through other roads Or the road in Guanzhong."

To be right, to win.

Positive and strange complement each other.

This is indeed a veteran's proposal, and it is indeed much more sophisticated than Yang Xuangan's previous plan. Although he also sent troops three ways, Li Mi was going to block Yang Guang, and Wang Bo was going to block Luo Cheng.But Li Zixiong proposed to fight Henan, Jianghuai, Shannan and other places. This is not a defense, but an active offense.

The day.

Yang Xuangan grandly introduced Li Zixiong to the 5000 rebels, and set up an altar to worship Li Zixiong as the marshal and order him to lead the army.At the same time, he dispatched his four brothers and asked them to command [-] troops each to harass the cities in the canal, Huaihe River and other river basins, and spread the flames of war to a wider area to awaken more dissatisfied people and those places. Tyrants.

As soon as Li Zixiong arrived, and when he paid homage to the coach, he also pulled Wei Fusi and other dozens of noble children up to the platform. For a while, the situation felt good.

It seems that half of the nobles in Luoyang have come to vote.

The great cause of rebellion, which was a bit cold at first, is booming again.

As soon as Li Zixiong came to power, he spent three days rectifying the [-] rebels at Xingyang Pass, but Lei Li was popular and all the troops were respected.

As a result, powerful people from all over the world came to vote again, and in just a few days, tens of thousands of horses came again.

three days later.

Li Zixiong officially sent troops to attack Hulao Pass.

The Hulao got its name because King Zhou Mu held the tiger here. This pass is connected to Songyue Mountain in the south and the Yellow River in the north.There is a trend of "one man guards the gate, and ten thousand men cannot open it". It has been a battleground for military strategists of all dynasties, and it is the east gate of Luoyang.

Liu Bang and Xiang Yu once fought for Guancheng here. During the Three Kingdoms period, the eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo, and Sanying once fought against Lu Bu here.

Anyone who can be called a major pass must be very difficult and difficult to attack.

Although Li Zixiong is a veteran, but time is short and he has no other choice, so he can only fight hard.

After all, Yang Xuangan bluntly said that he wanted to enter Luoyang, so he could only attack by force.

The horn sounded.

Li Zixiong personally went to the front and urged the armies to take turns to attack.

The morale of the rebel army was good, and the storm continued that day, and the onslaught lasted for ten hours, and each rebel army took turns to fight.

It's just that after ten hours of attacking, until midnight, they failed to make any progress. The rebels suffered countless casualties, but Li Zixiong didn't care at all.

Kindness does not hold soldiers.

Rested for two hours.

After dawn, Li Zixiong ordered the siege to begin again.

At this time, the momentum of the rebels was no longer strong. After all, they stormed for a day. Although they took turns to attack, there were many casualties, and the rebels were still a little scared.

At this time, Yang Xuanting personally asked for orders to lead his troops to attack the city.

"Okay, please cheer for the second general!"

Yang Xuanting is very fierce, Yang Xuangan has seven brothers, and more than ten cousins, all of them are fierce, but in terms of bravery, it is naturally Yang Xuangan, but in terms of fierceness, it is Yang Xuanting.

He led the selected death squads, and everyone drank a bowl of water and wine to strengthen their courage. After drinking all the wine, they smashed the bowl, then lifted the shield and knife, and began to rush towards Guancheng.

Yang Xuan held out the shield in his left hand, held the knife in his mouth, and strenuously climbed the ladder.

As soon as he was about to climb to the top of the city, suddenly a crossbow arrow shot at him, Yang Xuan held up his shield to block it, but it was inconvenient for someone to dodge on the ladder, especially this was a big twisted crossbow, striking from one side of the top of the city.

The crossbow pierced through the leather shield and pierced Yang Xuanting's chest.

The incomparably ferocious Yang Laoer screamed and jumped off the city like a kite with a broken string.
