Great Sui Dynasty

"The enemy troops have already withdrawn to support, go back and report to the general!" In the vast night, a pair of men in black stared at the troops withdrawing from this section of the river, and one of them said that the general he was talking about was Luo Shixin, This team was the one sent by Luo Shixin to scout the enemy's situation. At this time, the enemy army had already left, so they had to go back and report immediately.It is impossible to ignite the fire to transmit information. Let’s not know whether the other side can see it. Once the fire is ignited, you will be exposed first, so you can only go back and report.

"Yes!" A small group of five people took the order and left. Each of them carried a log and went down the river. The boats on the bank had already been seized by the enemy. The purpose was to prevent anyone from reporting to the enemy on the other side of the river.Although the river is relatively slow at night, the river is too wide after all. Who knows if there will be any accidents. To be on the safe side, we must send a few more people and leave some people here to wait for the rescue.

At this time, Luo Shixin had already assembled his troops. No matter whether the plan made today was successful or not, he had to cross the river, even if it was a forced crossing, but the location of this forced crossing had to be changed to where Cheng Yaojin's troops were.

"General, you're back!" Just as Luo Shixin was fidgeting, the guard suddenly led the two of them into the tent and said.

"How's the situation?!" Luo Shixin saw the man in black soaked and knew that both of them came back from the water to report.

"Report to the general, the enemy on the other side has retreated, and the captain is still watching on the other side. Five of us came back from the water, and the other three have..." All five of them are good swimmers, but unfortunately only two of them came back alive .

"Don't worry, I won't let the brothers die in vain. You go to rest first, and I will lead the army to cross the river!" Luo Shixin sighed, sacrifice is inevitable, as long as the sacrifice can be exchanged for victory in this war, it is worth it .

"General, we can still go to the battlefield!" The two also asked to go together.

"You...well, get on the boat!" Seeing the firmness in the eyes of the two, Luo Shixin couldn't refuse.

Luo Shixin didn't say much, just waved his hand, and the soldiers who were ready to go went to the bamboo rafts and fishing boats one by one, because six of the ten navy warships were sent to support Cheng Yaojin, and only four could It is unrealistic to transport 10 troops to the other side at one time. Fortunately, Luo Shixin prepared a large number of bamboo rafts and fishing boats in advance. Even so, it will take two or three round trips to transport [-] troops. , now the river is densely covered with large and small bamboo rafts and boats. It is estimated that it will be more spectacular if you look at it during the day.

"General, the enemy army has withdrawn and went to Chaoyi to encircle and suppress General Cheng. There is no enemy army here. Just now, an enemy patrol passed by. The subordinates did not leave them because they were afraid that they would startle them. I won't come back." After seeing Luo Shixin come ashore, the captain of the reconnaissance team immediately reported the situation to Luo Shixin.

"Well, you've done a good job. Are you familiar with the road from here to Chaoyi?" Although it's not too far from Chaoyi, it's hard to find the dark road, so you have to rely on this branch. The scouts are here to lead the way!

"General, don't worry, the subordinates have already figured out the way, and are waiting for the general to lead the army!" The scout captain replied respectfully.

Luo Shixin asked all the troops to rest in place and wait for the follow-up troops to cross the river. Since most of the soldiers were from the north, some of them suffered from seasickness. This made it impossible to march in a hurry. Resting in place was the best choice, of course it was unavoidable. Send out scouts to patrol around.In less than half an hour, all the troops had crossed the river. Luo Shixin ordered the group of people who arrived later to stay and rest, and he took the troops and galloped towards Chaoyi, because if he waited an extra minute, Cheng Yaojin would have more It's dangerous.

He expected well, although Cheng Yaojin had [-] reinforcements at this time, but the situation was not optimistic, because the enemy also had large reinforcements, which can be seen from the enemy's never-ending attack momentum!

"Hasn't the army arrived yet?" Cheng Yaojin looked up at the dark night sky and sighed. He didn't know how long he had persisted here, and he didn't know how many heads he had harvested in his hands. He was almost numb now, and The eyes of the soldiers behind him also lost their luster, only the trace of faith in the deepest part of their hearts supported them.

"Listen, people in front, my army has arrived, and you have no resistance at all. Surrender, and surrender will save you from death!" Li Xiaogong signaled his subordinates to shout to Cheng Yaojin's troops to persuade him to surrender, because the enemy's tenacity surpassed his Unexpectedly, if he can recruit and surrender, then his side will have an extra force with extraordinary combat effectiveness.Of course, this is just his wishful thinking. Hearing the words of persuasion, all the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty not only did not have any heartbeats, but were even more disdainful. Only the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty who died in battle did not surrender!Every soldier held the weapon in his hand even tighter, even if he died, he would have to pull a few backs.

"Let's attack!" Seeing that the enemy did not respond, Li Xiaogong could only sigh and said that he could not wait for the enemy's reinforcements to arrive. Fortunately, the enemy's reinforcements were only 3 or 10 at a time, otherwise he might not be able to Holding the river bank, the enemy army has reached nearly [-] people. If the enemy army vows to fight back to the death, he will not feel good!

"The two armies meet!"

"The brave wins!"

"Kill!" Cheng Yaojin led all the soldiers to rush towards the enemy without hesitation. Killing one is enough money, and killing two will make money. At this time, they only have the will to die in their eyes. At this time, they are really fighting to the death. Success is success!

"Nevertheless, such elites are not my Tang's army!" Li Xiaogong turned around and no longer looked at the doomed result, and suddenly saw a scout troop galloping from behind the troop in a panic.

"My lord, it's too bad, the enemy army is all enemy army, we are surrounded!" The scout rushed to Li Xiaogong and said.

"What did you say?" Li Xiaogong was extremely shocked. He never thought that the enemy would be willing to use 10 people to trap him. "Break out! Break out quickly!" Li Xiaogong ordered the troops to break out without hesitation, otherwise there would be a strong enemy ahead and behind him. Encirclement soldiers, if they don't break through while the enemy's encirclement has not yet formed, none of them will be able to get out alive!Was it just Cheng Yaojin's replay that they retreated safely? The answer is of course no.

"Kill! Reinforcements are really here! Let us work together from inside to outside to destroy the enemy and avenge the dead brothers!" I have to say that the energy of hope and hatred in life is huge. The repressed aggrievedness is instantly released!They went from underdogs to final winners in an instant!

"You can't let the enemy run away, kill me!" Luo Shixin also noticed the enemy's movement and knew that the enemy was about to run away, so he immediately led his soldiers to cover up and kill them. The target of being besieged and killed was really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. This retribution came too fast!

"My lord, hurry up! Let's stand up!" The original Li Xiaogong's former troops immediately advised Li Xiaogong to break through quickly. If Li Xiaogong was captured or killed, they would really be finished!

"Don't worry, this king will definitely avenge your dead soldiers! You will surrender directly later, Yang Jun's army never kills prisoners, you must keep them useful!" After finishing speaking, Li Xiaogong bowed to the gods of the soldiers and mounted his horse. He led his guards to the south to break out of the siege. The reason why he went to the south and not to the Li Jiancheng camp in the north was because if he went to see Li Jiancheng after losing the battle, he would know the consequences without even thinking about it. Li Shimin guards.

"How is it? Does General Li have a way to break the city?" Outside Hongnong Palace, Yang Yichen and Li Jing had already led the army, and Yang Yichen accompanied Li Jing to observe the terrain all day.

"There is a solution, but it will take some time to implement. The 10 people in our hands may not be enough!" Li Jing said, looking at the fortified city in front of him. However, they have never been to the Hongnong Palace. Unexpectedly, the Hongnong Palace was still restored after Yang Xuangan's rebellion. It seems that in order to resist them, the enemy has put in a lot of effort.

"Oh? I don't know what can be done?" Yang Yichen asked. Although Li Jing is currently serving as Generalissimo of the Army and Marshal and Deputy Marshal of Zheng Tang, his title and qualifications are higher than Li Jing, so everything is discussed and decided by the two of them.

"At that time, General Huer used nearly 50 troops to defeat Yang Xuangan, and it was only when Yang Xuangan was short of soldiers and equipment that he defeated Hongnong. We only had 10 people, and the enemy was fully prepared. We It is very difficult to destroy the city directly, so we can only lure out the enemies in the city and eliminate them, so that the Hongnong Palace will be destroyed by itself!" Li Jing said.

"Oh? I don't know how to lure the enemy out?" Yang Yichen asked curiously. He also knew that it would be good to lure the enemy out for a decisive battle, but as long as the enemy generals defending the city were not stupid, they would never leave the city easily.

"It's not difficult to say, but it's not easy to say. As long as our camp is empty, the enemy can be lured out if he is bold." Li Jing said with a smile, he already had a plan in mind.

"Seeing that General Li has a well-thought-out plan, you don't have to sell it." For Li Jing, Yang Yichen was very convinced, and he didn't look down on Li Jing because of his title and seniority, because Li Jing conquered Yang Yichen with his own true skills. With 10 troops attacking Hongnong Palace, he didn't know where to start, not to mention that he had accompanied Li Jing around a few times and Li Jing already had a plan, but he was still at a loss.

"This plan needs to be implemented by General Yang himself..." Li Jing then told Yang Yichen the plan in his heart, and Yang Yichen smiled knowingly, and then led half of the troops away.

"My lord, the enemy army has been outside the city without any movement for a whole day, I don't know what kind of conspiracy they are playing, let the subordinates lead a team to go out and fight!" Yu Chigong said to Li Shimin on the wall of Hongnong Palace .

"Don't worry, since the enemy has no intention of attacking, then we will wait with them. The enemy's army is only about a hundred thousand horses, and we also have 10 horses. It is impossible for them to attack. They're just trying to keep us in check." Li Shimin stopped Yu Chigong's thoughts, now it's broad daylight, and he can't take advantage of going out, not to mention that he only has Yu Chigong who can be regarded as a brave man at his disposal, although Liu Heitai is not bad. , but after all, Yuchi Gong is better, if Yu Chi Gong can't come back, then he really has no one to use.

"My lord, look! The enemy army is moving!" At this time Liu Heizai shouted, Li Shimin and Yu Chigong also looked forward, and sure enough, they saw tens of thousands of enemy troops marching out of the camp. went south.

"What the hell is the enemy trying to do?!" Seeing this situation, Li Shimin was very puzzled. The enemy clearly didn't seem to be attacking the city, and if there was any conspiracy, they wouldn't mobilize their troops in broad daylight.

"Let the eyes of the soldiers be brighter, and don't let the enemy play any tricks!" Li Shimin ordered, since he can't guess what the enemy wants to do, then wait for the enemy to make a move, anyway, they are on the defensive side.

At night, the nerves of the Tang army stationed at Hongnong Palace have been tense for a whole day, and another group of people from the enemy camp left halfway, and then there was no movement at all. This war does not seem like an offensive and defensive war, so it ends here Still a sit-down battle.

"My lord, I have found out that part of the enemy army is attacking Shangluo County. Luonan, Shangluo, and Fengyang have all fallen, and Shangluo is in danger!" Li Jing did not surround Hongnong Palace. With a retreat, the enemy will not be so desperate.

"What?" Li Shimin was very shocked when he heard the news suddenly. He didn't expect the enemy to feign a shot right under his nose and divert to attack Shangluo. "Did the enemy army bury the pot to make food tonight?" Li Shimin continued to ask.

"Yes! Tonight, the smoke from the enemy's camp is very thick, as if it is cooking for more than a hundred thousand people!" The soldier replied very simply. He didn't pay attention at the time, but now it seems that the enemy's lies have long been It was exposed, but they didn't pay attention.

"I was fooled! It turns out that the enemy army outside the city is trying to confuse us. It is estimated that the enemy army camp outside the city is just an empty shell!" The enemy army left in two batches and never came back. Where did so many people come from? Li Shimin now has the urge to kill someone.

"Order the troops to assemble!" Li Shimin gave the order decisively, and first went to take the enemy's camp outside the city to see if the enemy was still playing tricks, and if the enemy really left, he would go to support Hongnong.

"My lord, I..." Yu Chigong assembled his troops, and when he saw Li Shimin coming, he wanted to apologize quickly. If it wasn't for his negligence, Shangluo might not be in such a critical situation.

"I'll talk about it when I come back. If you go to Luo, if you have nothing to do, then you will be punished. If you lose Shangluo, you will be punished!" Li Shimin interrupted Yu Chigong. Now there is a shortage of people, and it is not good to punish him. Let's talk about it after this battle is over.

"Yes!" Yu Chigong was moved, and vowed to repay Li Shimin with meritorious service.

Li Shimin led the army to the camp of the Sui army. He saw that the camp was brightly lit, but there was no sound, and no one was patrolling. The situation, this time became more cautious, first let Liu Heita take someone in to find out the situation.

Liu Heitai rushed in with his men, came out after a while, and said to Li Shimin, "My lord, there is no one inside!"

"Well, Jingde, you take someone to patrol the neighborhood, and I will go in and have a look!" No one inside was expected, but if he wanted to go in and have a look, of course Yu Chigong had to patrol around, otherwise it would be like last time It's not good to be caught in a urn.

The camp was full of lights, but there was no one there, and there was still a hint of warmth in the clay stove for cooking. Li Shimin took a quick look at it, and it turned out to be enough for 10 people.

"My lord, I found a lot of grain and grass!" Liu Heita came over and said at this time.

"Food and grass? Can it be eaten? Has it been poisoned?" Li Shimin felt very strange that there was still food and grass left in the army. If the food and grass could not be taken away, it could be destroyed. Doesn't keeping it in this way equals the enemy? Li Shimin's first reaction was the enemy's conspiracy.

"I tried it, and randomly checked a few bags for the horses to eat without any adverse reactions." Liu Heita replied.

"My lord, I haven't seen any enemies for several miles around, I'm afraid they have all retreated." Yu Chigong came in at this time and said.

Li Shimin felt that there was always something wrong, but he couldn't tell, but it was true that the enemy was attacking Shangluo, as for the conspiracy here, he didn't know.

"Leave 2000 troops to transport the food back to the city, and the rest will support Shangluo with the king!" Since Li Shimin couldn't guess, he simply didn't guess. Since the enemy sent them food, he didn't have to be polite.With 2000 troops left behind to transport food, Li Shimin led the rest of the troops and ran directly towards Shangluo!

"General, the enemy has rushed to support Shangluo, and there are only 2000 troops left to transport the food in our camp!" At this time, no one would have thought that there was a mountain hidden in a mountain a few miles away from Hongnong Palace. There were more than [-] men and horses, and fortunately they hid far away so that they were not discovered.

"Well, you go and tell the Marshal that the enemy is already heading in his direction." Su Dingfang said, this team of more than [-] people was led by him, and he was responsible for the task of attacking the empty Hongnong Palace.

"You lead 5000 troops around the camp from the left side and block the enemy's way back to the city. Don't let any one go, otherwise the mission will fail. I will lead 5000 people and attack directly from behind the camp." Su Dingfang faced said the lieutenant general.

"set off!"

For more than ten minutes, when the soldiers of the Tang army were happily carrying the food and grass left by the Sui army, they didn't know that a catastrophe was coming!

"Kill!~" Su Dingfang let out a low growl and led people to attack the unsuspecting Tang Jun directly!After a fight, most of the soldiers of the Tang army were killed or injured, and some of them ran away, but Su Dingfang was not worried, there were people waiting for them in front.

"Hurry up and put on the enemy's clothes!" Su Dingfang gave an order, and the 2000 people who had assigned tasks in advance quickly changed into the enemy's clothes, and the rest unloaded the food and grass, and then a few people hid in the car.

"Go, light some tents!" Su Dingfang ordered. The soldiers were puzzled, but they didn't hesitate. After a while, the tents were filled with flames.

"Let's go!" Su Dingfang led the team to escort the "food and grass" to Hongnong Palace.

"Stop! Who's under the city?" The guarding soldiers asked when they saw a group of men and horses escorting things approaching.

"General, we are transporting grain and grass. The prince ordered us to transport the grain of the enemy's camp back to the city. Please open the city gate!" Su Dingfang came out and said, it was dark at this time, and they were wearing Tang army uniforms. It's easy to distinguish, not to mention that everything he said is true, but the person has changed.

"Slow! Open the food and grass to have a look!" The general guarding the city felt that he had to be more careful, so Su Dingfang did as he did. He cut open the two bags of food, scattered the food all over the ground and cursed that it was a waste.

"What's the matter with the fire in the enemy's camp?"

"Back to the general, when the brothers grabbed the spoils again, they set fire to the enemy's commander's big tent, and I have already taught you a lesson!" Su Dingfang said. Su Ding just asked the soldiers to light two military tents for cover.

"Pull the drawbridge, open the city gate, and let them in!" Seeing that there was no problem, the general defending the city resolutely let them go.

"Do it! Take the city gate!" After the convoy entered the city, Su Dingfang gave an order decisively, and the soldiers in Tang army uniforms immediately took control of the city gate, and the soldiers in the grain carts also came out one after another.

"Attack!" Seeing Su Dingfang's multiple successes, the lieutenant immediately led the soldiers ambushing outside the Hongnong Palace and rushed into the city!

"Hurry up and inform the prince that Hongnong Palace has fallen!" The enemy general defending the city ordered his soldiers to report the news. The enemy army has entered the city, and Hongnong Palace will be destroyed sooner or later. There is no time to support.
