A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 618: intercepting the ship and capturing Yang Guang

Wang Xuanze has been sending people to pay attention to Yang Guang's movements. The three thousand Yu Linwei rushed all the way without encountering any resistance. When states and counties across the country saw three thousand elite soldiers, they immediately closed their city gates.

The peasant rebels from various places also retreated after encountering the Yulin Guards. Only some brainless people tried to stop them, but they faced three thousand feather forest guards and were defeated in just a moment.

Seeing the amazing fighting power of these soldiers, other rebels no longer dared to stop them.

The three thousand troops seemed to be in an uninhabited country.

The Wang family has built strongholds in many places over the years, and has stored food, grass and equipment in them. The marching route of the Three Thousand Feather Forest Guards will also pass through these strongholds.

With these fortresses providing food and logistics, the three thousand feather forest guards could march very quickly.

Just when Yang Guang returned to Luoyang, Yu Linwei also came to Henan.

However, the news of Yu Linwei's move to Henan did not reach Yang Guang's ears. Not long ago, Yang Guang asked about the situation of peasant uprisings in various places. Those officials concealed the true situation and told Yang Guang that the number of peasant uprisings had decreased. Order has begun to be restored.

The few officials who dared to tell the truth told Yang Guang that the peasant uprising was intensifying and was even hundreds of miles away from Luoyang. As a result, the furious Yang Guang directly ordered them to be killed.

More importantly, the Sui army never thought that someone would attack them. You must know that the Sui army that escorted Yang Guang's dragon boat south was the most elite army in the Sui Dynasty.

Sure enough, the Sui army's forwards did not search carefully, or even just dealt with it hastily. They did not even investigate the woods on both sides of the bank.

He has ruled the world for more than ten years and turned a prosperous empire into such a devastated state where the people are miserable and devastated. He still wants to just walk away and continue to live freely in Jiangdu. How can there be such a beautiful thing in the world?
Wang Xuanze planned to end the Sui Dynasty's destiny here and kill Yang Guang to sacrifice the people of the world.

Of course, there is still a question mark as to how much combat power this most elite Sui army has left. Continuous conquests in Liaodong have exhausted the elite Sui army. The battle at Yanmen Pass had already taken off their underwear.

Wang Xuanze led his army to the vicinity of the canal. Yang Guang wanted to escape through the canal and hide in Jiangzhou, where he lived and died in sleep, but Wang did not agree.

Under this circumstance, Yang Guang began to take a dragon boat south to Jiangdu.

Three thousand Yulin Guards were lurking near the canal, waiting for the fleet to arrive. In order to prevent being discovered, Wang Xuanze also used the effect of the artifact to conceal the sky-covering flag. As long as those people did not observe closely, their ambush would not be discovered at all.

This kind of deceiving oneself made other officials even more afraid to tell the truth, and began to whitewash the situation.

Wang Xuanze immediately recruited people to nail chains as thick as a bowl directly on both sides of the canal and iron ropes across the river to block the ships. At the same time, wooden piles were driven into the river to block the passage of ships.

Sui Emperor Yang Guang's fleet left Liang County and went south along the Tongji Canal. There were tens of thousands of troops guarding him along the way, but Wang Xuanze ignored these tens of thousands of troops.

This kind of reconnaissance method, let alone using artifacts to cover up, even without artifacts, those Sui troops would not be able to find the Yulin Guards in the woods.

For safety reasons, Yang Guang led 100,000 troops and tens of thousands of palace people. The fleet entered Liang County through the canal, and then headed southeast from Liang County.

Wang Xuanze didn't let Wang Xuanze wait for long. Sui Emperor Yang Guang's fleet appeared in the distance. Thousands of cavalry troops were on guard on both sides of the canal. Wang Xuanze asked people to let them pass. When the fleet approached, the army immediately took action.

The tens of thousands of Sui troops guarding the dragon boat never expected that someone would dare to attack them, and they didn't even have much precaution.

Three thousand Yulin guards, all wearing iron armor, each with three horses, rushed towards the Sui army. Wang Xuanze took the lead, wearing heavy armor all over his body. Even his war horses were wearing vests. The sound of heavy horse hooves was like thunder. Three thousand armored cavalry suddenly attacked, giving the Sui army no time to prepare.

The tens of thousands of troops marching were not equipped with any armor at all. Facing three thousand armored cavalry, these Sui troops had no idea of ​​resistance.

These Sui soldiers knew the power of the armored cavalry. After seeing the charging armored cavalry, no one thought about resisting and fled in all directions.

After seeing the armored cavalry, a large number of Sui troops dropped their weapons, jumped into the canal, and swam to the other side of the canal.

Even if armored cavalry cannot attack for a long time, infantry cannot run away.

Tens of thousands of Sui troops faced armored cavalry and were easily defeated. These Sui troops had long lost their morale and were not even willing to work for Yang Guang anymore.

Escape is like dominoes, falling apart in an instant.

Tens of thousands of troops fled, but Wang Xuanze easily penetrated the military formation and came to the bank of the canal. Then everyone shot arrows at the dragon boat in the river.

Three thousand rockets flew up and directly set fire to several dragon boats behind the fleet.

The width of the canal is limited, and ships cannot dodge at all. What's more, the dragon boat is huge and has no defense against these rockets, and is directly ignited.

The fleet scrambled to avoid the rockets, and several ships collided directly with each other. After these ships collided, they directly blocked the canal, and the remaining ships could only continue forward.

However, Wang Xuanze sent people to drive wooden piles in front of the canal and blocked it with iron chains, making it impossible to pass. The entire dragon boat fleet, except for a few ships at the end, was blocked in the canal.

Hundreds of large ships were unable to fight back at this moment. Wang Xuanze ignored the other ships and led people directly towards the largest and most gorgeous dragon boat.

Sui Emperor Yang Guang sat on this boat.

Facing the sudden attack, Yang Guang couldn't believe that the tens of thousands of Sui troops he relied on as his right-hand man could be so vulnerable.

The fleet was blocked on the canal, and Yang Guang had no place to escape even if he wanted to escape.

After seeing the dragon boat, Wang Xuanze directly chose to use the divine weapon of destiny, and saw that the canal turned into ice in just a breath.

Three thousand Yulin Guards rushed directly into the canal on horseback, stepping on the ice and rushed directly to the dragon boat. Then several people from the Yulin Guards rushed out, holding flying claws, and climbed onto the dragon boat.

In just a moment, a staircase was built with ropes and wooden boards.

The remaining Yulin guards immediately rushed up the stairs. At this time, the guards on the dragon boat had already escaped. Even the remaining few people surrendered after seeing the miracle in front of them.

Wang Xuanze led the soldiers directly into the dragon boat, but did not catch Yang Guang in the dragon boat hall. Finally, under the leadership of the eunuch, they found Yang Guang and his wife in a small room at the bottom of the dragon boat.
