Great Sui Dynasty

Chapter 233 The Battle of Chang'an Breaks through Tongguan

"Speed ​​up and go to Xinfeng City to wait for His Majesty's army to arrive!" Cheng Yaojin knew that since Yang Hao had agreed with him that he could only go to Xinfeng, he could only abide by his orders. Now the emperor is also outside, if you dare not accept it, then just wait for the board, it's okay to be boarded, Cheng Yaojin doesn't care about being boarded, but it would be embarrassing for him to be boarded in front of Luo Shixin and Qin Shubao.

"Stop moving forward!" Although Xinfeng County was clearly visible, he also saw the contiguous barracks stationed outside the city. Seeing this, Cheng Yaojin was in a cold sweat. He didn't find any enemies along the way. After entering Jingzhao County, no scouts were sent to the front to explore the way. Fortunately, the enemy did not send people to ambush them. Otherwise, the tens of thousands of horses would all be wiped out. Cheng Yaojin dared It is certain that the enemy discovered them. After all, the enemy camped here must have sent scouts nearby. The news of their arrival must have been known to the local lord, but it is not known why such a great opportunity was given up.

"Heng Lie, take someone to find out how many troops there are in the enemy army?" Cheng Yaojin said, staring at the enemy camp in front of him.

"Heng Lie! Where did this brat go? Is his skin itchy?" After waiting for a long time for no response, Cheng Yaojin turned around and looked back to see that Li Henglie was nowhere to be seen, and subconsciously cursed.

"General, General Li is already dead!" a school lieutenant reminded cautiously.

"Oh, like this, I would have forgotten it, so you take someone to investigate it!" Cheng Yaojin came back to his senses. Before, everything was left to Li Henglie. Now that he died in battle, there is less It's really not used to such a man who can be manipulated.

"The army retreated five miles and set up camp!" This place is too close to the enemy's camp, and the strength of the enemy army has not yet been figured out, so it's better to be careful.

"General, I found out that the enemy army has more than [-] people, and the main general is Hou Junji!" The school lieutenant came back not long after.

"Hou Junji? I've never heard of him!" Cheng Yaojin had never dealt with Hou Junji before, and Yang Hao didn't tell him, besides, there was no sign of Hou Junji in this expedition, and he wouldn't either. To pay attention to these, so it's normal for him not to know.

"I guess there is no one in Pseudo-Tang. To shoot such an unknown man commanding an army of [-] people. It seems that God is destined to give this credit to my old Cheng!" Yang Hao said and let him go to Xinfeng Then they stopped advancing, and it happened that the enemy was in Xinfeng, and the number of them was about the same as the one he led, so they could fight a battle.

"Everyone obeys orders! Follow me to pick the enemy's camp!" Cheng Yaojin greeted, and ran towards the Tang army's camp with his people!This is a rare opportunity, if he waits for the arrival of the army, then probably nothing will happen to him.

At this time, Hou Junji was also watching every move of the Sui army. He knew about it before Cheng Yaojin set foot in Xinfeng, but he obeyed Li Shimin's orders too much. Li Shimin asked him to take a defensive position. Unauthorized attack, so he missed a good opportunity to ambush.

"Listen, people in the battalion, my Heavenly Soldiers of the Sui Dynasty have arrived, why don't you surrender quickly? Otherwise, don't blame the guys in someone Cheng's hands for being rude!" The arrogance of "Zhang Yide, the Yan man, is here, who dares to fight me" flew back Cao Jun.

"What? Don't make a sound? If you don't come out and fight grandpa for [-] rounds, and don't surrender, what kind of grandson are you pretending to be? Who is that? Hou Junji, do you dare to come out and fight your grandpa Cheng?" If you don’t dare, you will be my grandson, and if you do it, I will be your grandfather!” Seeing that Tang Jun didn’t intend to fight, Cheng Yaojin began to scold again. his grandson.

"General! Let me go out and kill him!" The deputy general couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to call for a fight.

"Don't be impulsive, wait until our people come back to see where the main force of the enemy army is!" Hou Junji is also irritable, and Cheng Yaojin can't bear to scold him, but he has to consider the overall situation, it is easy to fight, and what will happen if he wins? What will happen if he loses? In the past, he always thought that Li Shimin, the second child in the world, was the boss. After being defeated by Qin Shubao, he finally knew that there was someone out there, which made him cautious. Of course, this does not mean that he has a violent temper It has been changed.

"Everyone says how powerful Hou Junji is. In my opinion, it's not as good as the Wangcai raised by His Majesty in the mansion in Licheng. Forgot to mention, the prince is a dog, and he can at least bark twice when he sees strangers!" Cheng Yaojin's mouth was getting more and more poisonous because of Yang Hao's habit, and he couldn't tell that such a big and rough person could swear so badly. Of course, old Cheng was complacent, and he felt that he was swearing at Zhuge Wuhou again. A big step forward!

Cheng Yaojin was very pleased with the scolding, but Hou Junji's face was livid, and it was obvious that he was extremely angry!It's fine to call him a grandson, who is not a grandson?Is it still wild?But calling him worse than a dog later on is an insult to his personality. If Hou Junji doesn’t react, he will really acquiesce. It's not sure who will win the last game.

"Assemble the troops! I was going to tear the bird man's mouth off!" Hou Junji gave an order, and the soldiers who had held back for a long time immediately assembled, waiting for Hou Junji to lead them out!

"Hehe, I thought he would be able to persevere, but I didn't expect to be irritated so quickly. Is it because I, Lao Cheng, have become better or Hou Junji is not popular at all? Forget it, I will find out when I catch him and ask him." , but what your Majesty said is true, attacking the city is the bottom line, attacking the heart is the top priority, these words are indeed very effective!" Seeing Hou Junji start to gather an army, Cheng Yaojin was very happy, it was all thanks to him.

"You take 1 people to the left, and you take 1 people to the right. I will lead 3 people to entangle them in the middle, and then you lead people to kill them from the left and right sides!" Cheng Yaojin ordered the two General, in this wide area, and the two armies are so close to each other, they can only fight with real swords and guns.

Hou Junji still sent 2 people to guard the camp, and he himself led more than 3000 people to fight against the enemy, [-] against the enemy's [-], which seemed to be a disadvantage, but the enemy army did not have cavalry, but he had one in his hand. With [-] cavalry, in this way, it can basically be on par with the enemy's strength, and the mobility of his troops is better than that of the enemy.

"The cavalry pierces through tactics, the infantry follow behind, and follow the generals!" Seeing Cheng Yaojin's soldiers split into three groups, Hou Junji was very disdainful, the battlefield was outside their camp, was he afraid of being surrounded?If you think about it, it's impossible. The enemy is still thinking about attacking from three directions, so let's dream.

"Kill!" Cheng Yaojin led the troop group and rushed forward, without encountering any enemies along the way. This group has long been exhausted, and now it is finally possible to start a war, it must be very exciting.

The infantry is not afraid of the cavalry, because they have Mo Daomen known as battlefield tanks. In a standard army of 1 people, there must be [-] archers and [-] Mo Daomen. The remaining [-] are infantry. Of course Mo Dao Shou can also be regarded as infantry, but it is heavy infantry, covered with armor, it takes time and money to build, and the selection of Mo Dao Shou is also very strict, so it is very difficult to build a Mo Dao Soldier, otherwise, Yang Hao will just get [-] Mo Dao Bing can sweep the world.

"Mo Dao's hand entangles the enemy's cavalry, and the pikemen are responsible for assisting, and the horizontal sword will kill!" With Mo Dao's presence, the enemy's cavalry's piercing tactics are useless, and the momentum is blocked. Cheng Yaojin took the opportunity to lead the troops Go around and directly meet the infantry led by Hou Junji.

"That thief, take your life!" When Hou Junji saw Cheng Yaojin, the person who scolded him just now, his eyes immediately radiated anger, and he went straight to kill Cheng Yaojin, and the two immediately fought .But what Hou Junji didn't expect was that Cheng Yaojin's force was not something he could handle, and he was beaten by Cheng Yaojin from the very beginning, but fortunately, although the gap between the two was not too big, Hou Junji was at a disadvantage , but Cheng Yaojin couldn't behead Hou Junji at once.

"Kill!" When the battle situation was stalemate, [-] soldiers arranged by Cheng Yaojin came from both sides. When his side retreated, Hou Junji feinted a shot to force Cheng Yaojin to return to the defense, then took the opportunity to break away from Cheng Yaojin's attack, and went to the back of his own army to stabilize his position.

"Archers!" Hou Junji looked at the approaching Sui army, and then shouted to the camp behind him, thousands of arrows flew out of the camp in an instant!

"Withdraw! Hou Junji is so ruthless, he doesn't even care about his own life!" Seeing the arrows raining down and the soldiers falling one by one, Cheng Yaojin had no choice but to order the soldiers to drop Tang Jun who was entangled with him. The soldiers backed away.Yang Hao gave him 5 horses, but he didn't equip him with archers. He would suffer in a war. If there were archers, Cheng Yaojin probably wouldn't have scolded him just now, and went directly to attack the camp.Of course, all of this is in Yang Hao's calculations. Cheng Yaojin, who has an archer, probably will really be able to accept military orders abroad, and hit wherever he goes, so he won't be honest in Xin Feng stopped and waited for the arrival of the large army.

Hou Junji, who returned to the camp, still had lingering fears. He did not expect that any general of the Sui army who was not well-known would have such abilities. Among his Tang troops, only Yu Chigong's martial arts could compete with him. Although Yuchi Gong It was recruited by him, but now he is no less favored than him, so he began to be jealous and look down on Yu Chigong, because Yu Chigong's ability to lead troops is not as good as him, but there is one thing he cannot deny, that is Yuchi Gong His martial arts skills are definitely superior to his, and there really aren't many of them in Tang Jun!

"Pay attention to defense, don't let the enemy take advantage of it. If the enemy dares to come, greet them with bows and arrows. No one can leave the camp without the order of the general. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!" Hou Junji issued a death order, even He can't even get him to go out, and the others are looking for death when they go out, and they can't afford to lose now. There are only 5 people here. It is said to be the first line of defense, but everyone knows that there is no way to prevent it. It's just a formality Forget it, the final battlefield will still be under the city of Chang'an.

"Send a letter to the Gaoling camp and ask them to hand over the defense task to Liu Hongji and other withdrawn troops, and let them rush to reinforce!" Li Shimin gave him the command of 10 troops, but he didn't want to be taken down by Liu Hongji and others. Just pick a bargain and detain his other 5 troops. After all, with the qualifications of Liu Hongji and Qu Tutong, Li Shimin would not say anything if he wanted to detain his soldiers.

"This mission is not comparable to that in Changbai Mountain. If you are not careful, you will be smashed to pieces. Are you all ready?" Li Jing looked at the 3000 troops in front of him and said. These 3000 people were all attacking Wang Bo's Changbai Mountain village This army has always been in charge of Li Jing, just like his personal soldiers, with three thousand establishments, no more and no less.

"Get ready! Don't be afraid to die!" They also knew that this mission was far more difficult and dangerous than the last one. They had to go around and climb up the Huashan Mountains and then attack Tongguan from behind. Huashan is one of the most steep. , but there is no way, Tongguan is too strong, and it is almost impossible to break through from the front. Even if Li Jing brought a large cart of explosives, it would be difficult to blow up a gap.So attacking from behind is an important way to break through the level, but this method is too difficult, but with this experienced army, everything is possible.

"Let's go!" Li Jing gave an order, and the 3000 people disappeared into the night. They were going to detour to Hongnong County to climb to the south of Huashan Mountain.

"Starting to harass Tongguan tonight, I want them to have no peace for a while!" Li Jing's order decided the tragedy of Tongguan's sleepless night.

"The Sui army will only use such indecent methods, hum! Tonight, we will divide the city into three batches, one batch of 3 people, and the rest will go to the barracks to sleep with my ears plugged, and come back to change when the time comes. I don't believe it. What else can the enemy do!" Li Xiaogong was very annoyed when faced with such a wretched tactic of only seeing figures but not seeing people.If you ignore it, they will suffer a great loss if they take the opportunity to attack key points. If you take it too seriously and put all the troops here, the soldiers will lose their energy if the enemy makes trouble for two days. Even more inappropriate.His grievance is all because he can't go out to meet the enemy, and once he goes out, he will fall into the enemy's arms, and the enemy will be afraid that they will not come out, so he must never go out.

Throughout the night, Su Dingfang and Wang Junke took the gongs and drums to Tongguan and beat them again and again in the dark, and the defenders on Tongguan got used to it and ignored them completely. At this time, Su Dingfang would give They rained arrows, anyway, they just couldn't make it easier for the Tongguan defenders.

"The weather is really good. I wonder if Old General Yang is resting well?" The weather on the second day was indeed good. It was just dawn, but the sun had already dyed the eastern sky golden.

"Fortunately, people feel less when they are old. I have been tired from running around these two days, and I slept soundly all night. I think those people in Tongguan will be very envious, haha!" Although Yang Yichen is nearly sixty years old, he is still in good health. , and have been used to getting up early when leading troops to fight for so many years.

"Go, tell the troops to bury the pot and make a meal. When they are full, they will go to Tongguan for a stroll!" Su Dingfang and Wang Junke took turns to harass Tongguan until the fifth watch. At this time, the Tongguan defenders were probably sleeping soundly. Well, when they are full and the soldiers are about to leave the pass, it is estimated that the people in Tongguan will hate them half to death.

"See, this is the result of one night's battle!" After eating, Li Jing and Yang Yichen led their troops to Lintong Pass again, only to see the guards at the pass dozing off, and some of them held their weapons and looked like they were on the verge of falling. Some simply lay down between the arrow stacks, not realizing that they were approaching the city at all.

"Let's attack, they should reach the foot of the mountain after the time calculation. Tongguan must be captured today, otherwise the battle of Chang'an will be out of our business!" Following Li Jing's order, all the trebuchets and siege engines were launched.

"Enemy attack!" Closed the defenders and found that the enemy army was about to close the gate. Everyone suddenly woke up, but the feeling of headache after waking up suddenly was not easy.Compared with the energetic soldiers of the Sui Army, they were obviously very depressed.

"Hold it! Hold it for me!" The enemy has been attacking for a long time but there is no sign of retreating. This is normal for a tough battle, but it is a torment for Tang Jun who has not eaten breakfast and guarded for half a day on an empty stomach.

"Deputy Marshal, we have suffered a lot of casualties, let the troops withdraw and take a rest." Yang Yichen looked at the rising casualties, and his heart ached. After all, these were all his old subordinates who followed him for several years, from north to Nan has been fighting constantly, saying that it is impossible to have no feelings.

"This commander also wants to, but the opportunity is rare. Although we will fight casualties, the enemy army will soon be unable to hold on!" Li Jing disagreed with the withdrawal of troops. Give the enemy time to breathe.

"Su Dingfang! Bring someone under the door and blow it up for me!" Although bombing the city may not be able to blow up a gap, it shouldn't be a problem to close the door. Although it is an iron door, there are gaps anyway. There is still hope.

"Yes!" Su Dingfang took the order and led people to attack. Although the closed gate is not the key point of defense for the defenders, it is estimated that all the defenders who pass the customs are closed, so there are almost no weak spots, and the defense is almost comprehensive.After finally pushing the two carts of explosives under the closed door, and hurriedly leading the people back to a safe place, Li Jing immediately asked for money to withdraw his troops.

After the people retreated, Li Jing ordered the archers to put on rockets and shoot at the car under the closed door.

With a sound of "Boom~", the power of the explosion of the two vehicles of gunpowder directly overturned the closed gate, and half of the entire gate tower on the closed gate collapsed, but there was no gap, which shows the thickness of Tongguan.The closed door was gone, but a long dark passage appeared, without a gleam of light coming through, so it could be seen that there was still a closed door inside.

"Sure enough! Continue to attack!" Li Jing ordered. He was not disappointed. He didn't expect to be disappointed. The strength of Tongguan was what he expected, so he pinned his hopes on the 3000 people. In addition, one morning has passed, and the 3000 people should have entered the pass, why is there still no movement?Li Jing felt a bit of anxiety in his heart, which is why he didn't allow the troops to rest. Once the troops are rested, the enemy troops will also be rested. All the attention of the defenders is diverted here.

"The commander-in-chief has already tackled the problem, and we should act!" After hearing the loud noise, they knew that Li Jing was attacking the city with all his strength, and the enemy's attention had been attracted, so it would be very difficult for them here. easy.

"Kill it!" The three thousand elites hiding in the middle of the mountain went to Tongguan at the bottom of the mountain without hesitation, breaking through Tongguan from the inside out!
