Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 144

Yang Fugong turned pale with shock, he never imagined that there were more than [-] guards of honor for the county king, all of them were soldiers, and the leader was Xia Jianjun, commander of the three capitals of Zuo Shenwei Army.

"Quick, quick, kill the enemy, kill the enemy."

When Zi Yong realized it, he hurriedly drove his soldiers to fight and wipe out the incoming enemies. As long as the gate is closed, Yangping Pass will be safe.

Immediately, arrows shot towards the three capitals of the Zuo Shenwei Army like a rainstorm.

Most of the officers and men of the three capitals did not wear armor or shields to protect themselves, and a large number of them were shot to death immediately.

"Steady, steady, put the cart across the front, and guard it according to the cart."

Zi Yong didn't dare to waste time, the armored soldiers outside the pass were about to arrive, and hurriedly drove the crowd to fight hand-to-hand.

Without the cover of bows and arrows, Sandu obviously adapted a lot. A group of a dozen people, with guns or knives, used the car board as a shield, and immediately became anxious with the defenders.

Zi Yong urged again and again, but it was difficult to push forward.Seeing that the armored soldiers were approaching, Zi Yong had no choice but to say to the guards beside him, "Beat the drum as a warning, beat the drum as a warning, let the military village on the mountain send troops to help."

"promise!"

Cao Jinsheng quickly led the team to kill.

"Commander Xia, the last general will lead the troops to the Guanlou. As long as Zi Yong is captured, the event will be settled."

Xia Jian's army looked at the enemy's situation. There were more than [-] defenders in Yangping Pass. At this time, they had assembled all of them, and hundreds of troops were fighting against [-]. The gap was huge.

Then seeing the smoke and dust rising from the mountains on both sides, it must be the reinforcements from the enemy's mountains, and I don't know how many troops have come.

If the division of troops is small, there will be no effect, and if there are too many divisions, it will not be possible to close the gate.

"No, as long as we keep the door closed for an hour, His Majesty's army will arrive."

"promise!"

In the chaos, Yang Fugong was surrounded by armored soldiers, the front and back were covered, but he was safe.

Frightened, Yang Fugong shook his head, these armored soldiers are not afraid of death, they don't look like Shence Army.

"kill!"

"Hold on!"

The guards from Yangping Pass charged back and forth with the reinforcements from the mountain. The Zuo Shenwei army stood still. The armored soldiers were the main force, with shields and bows, standing in the front. Guards.

Zi Yong was about to burst into tears, he didn't expect that a mere five or six hundred people could completely block their internal and external attacks for an hour, and his army would not be able to advance an inch.

The formation used by the opponent is quite strange, a group of more than a dozen people, there are offensive and defensive, and there are long-range archers.

The place is narrow, and I have a numerical advantage on my side, but I can't make use of it. Life for life, three or five lives of one's own side can't exchange for one life of the other party.

Zi Yong found that if he forced the soldiers to charge at this time, some people would not listen to him. He was afraid that if he continued to push, the soldiers under him would directly turn against him.

"Bows, archers, shoot!"

Just as Zi Yong was busy summoning the archers, he felt the ground shaking slightly.

Zi Yong has not experienced many battles, but the guards around him are indeed veterans in the army.

"Young commander, it's cavalry!"

"Cavalry, where are the cavalry?"

Zi Yong hurriedly ran up the Guanlou, and was immediately stunned on the spot.

Not far away, smoke and dust billowed everywhere, and I don't know how many people, a vast expanse of people, were rushing towards Yangping Pass.

Finished!

"Young commander, let's go, or it will be too late!"

"Young Master!"

"Forehead!"

Zi Yong's mind went blank, and under the escort of his personal guards, he mounted his horse and headed towards Xingyuan Mansion.

"The young master has run away!"

"Ah, young commander, don't leave us behind!"

"Run!"

The defenders of Yangping Pass collapsed immediately.

When Li Ye drove his troops to Yangping Pass, there was no resistance in the pass, and a large number of routs headed for Xingyuan Mansion.

"Chase!"

Li Ye sent two cavalry to pursue.

"The descendants do not kill!"

"promise!"

Li Ye got off his horse and walked towards Xia Jianjun, commander of the three capitals of the Left Shenwei Army.

"How about the casualties in the army?"

"More than 120 people were killed and more than 130 were injured."

Almost half broken.

"It's good to settle down!"

"promise!"

The cavalry did not pursue very far, and gathered more than a thousand soldiers. Half a day later, the Zuo Shenwei Army, Zuo Huwei Army, and Zuo Yulin Army all arrived at Yangping Pass, and the main force of the court arrived.

Li Ye raised his military tent at Yangping Pass.

Yang Fugong entered.

At this time, Yang Fugong's clothes were disheveled, his face was pale, and his arms were trembling constantly.

"Is Your Majesty going to execute the servants?"

Li Ye helped Yang Fugong up and said: "Don't worry, the king of Xiping County. The attack on Yangping Pass was a last resort. I want to open the passage to Sichuan to win over my ministers."

Yang Fugong didn't speak.

Li Ye said: "Is the king of Xiping still willing to say for me to send Yang Shouliang to the Southern Festival?"

Yang Fugong said: "Slaves don't need guards of honor, and they don't need armored guards, is that okay?"

Li Ye nodded and said: "I can promise you, and I also ask the king of Xiping County to help me with a word. I only give Yang Jiedu three days. Within three days, I will treat him with national soldiers. After three days... if he does not surrender , I will regard it as treason."

Yang Fugong cupped his hands and said, "Does Your Majesty have anything else to say?"

The servant Zhao Xi brought a tray, and Li Ye picked up the contents of the tray, handed it to Yang Fugong and said, "This is my pardon and the iron coupon to avoid death, you take it, give it to Yang Jiedu, I hope he Get lost."

Yang Fugong took the iron voucher of the imperial edict and said: "Your maidservant will leave."

Li Ye nodded, and then summoned all the soldiers to discuss matters.

"Where is Zhu Zhen, the commander of Zuo Huwei's army!"

Zhu Zhen stepped forward and said, "The end is here!"

Li Ye held the order and the edict, and said: "Take my edict and go all the way to Yang'an Pass, Jiameng Pass, and Jiange. If there is any obstruction, take the pass and kill the general."

"promise!"

"Where is Zhang Yi, the commander of the Zuo Yulin Army?"

"The end is here!"

"I ordered you to guard the grain road, transport the grain and grass from Feng County to Yangping Pass, and receive the grain and grass from Zuo Huwei's army."

"promise!"

"Where is An Fujiang, the commander of the Zuo Shenwei Army?"

"The end is here!"

"I ordered you to clear the army stronghold on the mountain and build siege equipment."

"By the way, persuasion is the main priority, and those who are stubborn and restless will be killed."

"promise!"

Li Ye said again: "Each army sent out a man and horse, temporarily commanded by Xia Jianjun, the commander of the three capitals of the Zuo Shenwei Army, to guard Yangping Pass and surrender."

"promise!"

The whole army marched separately, Li Ye was stationed at Yangping Pass, and the next day, Yang Fugong came to the city of Xingyuan Mansion.

In fact, Yang Fugong's vision was quite sharp. According to the original history, even if Yang Fugong was at the end of his life, Yang Shouliang always treated him like a father, and in the end he was decapitated because of it.

As soon as Yang Fugong arrived, Yang Shouliang went to the city gate to greet him in person.

"Father!"

"Yang Jiedu!"

Yang Shouliang's face gradually darkened, and he said: "Shouliang's wealth is all given by my father, why did my father tell me that!"

Yang Fugong sighed and said, "Has Da Lang come back?"

Yang Shouliang nodded and said, "I'm back!"

Hearing that Zi Yong came back and said that it was Grandpa Yang Fugong who opened the city gate fraudulently, Yang Shouliang was also puzzled.

"Father, I'm sorry for you, Da Lang almost lost his life."
