The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 494 Soldiers enter Phoenix City (six more)

Make up for yesterday's missing update.

After Xue Rengui and Gai Xianmo made the betting agreement, he clapped his hands together as an oath on the spot.Then they began to prepare but, the bet made by Phoenix City.

"The general believes in your character, Xue Rengui, and I will personally hold this whip today. If you don't shoot the whip, shoot this general. Then your notoriety will last forever." Gai Xianmo said to Xue Rengui.

"I, Xue Rengui, am I a man who is opportunistic. If I miss your horsewhip today, I, Xue Rengui, will never show up in this battle of Phoenix City." Xue Rengui said to Gai Xianmo.

After Xue Rengui finished speaking, he stepped back a hundred steps.Then he picked up the Bao Diao Bow, put on the Diao Ling Arrow, and rounded the bow.Then he prepared to shoot the whip in Gai Xianmo's hand.

Gai Xianmo held the whip in his right hand and kept swinging it from side to side.Let the horsewhip not stop for a moment.

……

At the same time, someone had already reported the situation of the two armies before the battle to Zhang Shigui, the vanguard officer.When Zhang Shigui heard that Xue Rengui was fighting in front of the two armies.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he smiled and said to his four sons and a son-in-law: "This Xue Rengui is so proud and complacent. After several battles, he is so defiant."

"Father, if Xue Rengui is defeated in front of the two armies, then there is no chance for him to go to the front of the two armies to die." Zhang Zhilong said to Zhang Shigui.

"The bet he made himself has nothing to do with me. If he dares to resist my military order and doesn't fight, I'll push him out of the gate and kill him." Zhang Shigui said with a sinister smile.

"Father-in-law is right. If Xue Rengui goes out to fight at that time, he will be accused of dishonesty. We can also exhaust him to death according to the original plan."

"If he wants to preserve his name, he can only defy the military order and refuse to fight for a long time. At that time, his father-in-law killed him, and no one dared to say anything." He Zongxian said with a big smile.

"Father, if Xue Rengui really wants to shoot the whip off, what if he wins the bet?" Zhang Zhihu asked Zhang Shigui.

"Your brother-in-law is famous all over the world for making three arrows to Tianshan Mountain. If you win the Phoenix City with this bet, I am afraid that the two old thieves, Yu Chigong and Xu Maogong, will not dare to speak of him anymore. He is not the emperor's worthy minister Yingmeng. "Zhang Shigui said with a smile.

……

Not to mention Zhang Shigui, father, son, Weng and son-in-law, daydreaming in the vanguard tent.Simply speaking, after Xue Rengui drew the carved bow to its full capacity, he shot the carved feather arrow with the whip a hundred paces away.

With the sound of piercing through the air, the carved feather arrow directly ran towards the whip in Gai Xianmo's hand.It's too late, but it's just a blink of an eye.

The eagle feather arrow shot the whip in Gai Xianmo's hand.The shooting position was exactly where Gai Xianmo's subordinates were.

This surprised Gai Xianmo, he never expected Xue Rengui to be able to shoot the horsewhip.So he had no choice but to throw the whip in his hand on the ground.

Then he opened his mouth and said to Xue Rengui: "Xue Rengui, you really deserve your reputation, you wait here for a while. After half an hour, I will lead my troops to leave Phoenix City."

After Gai Xianmo finished speaking, he brought people back to Phoenix City.However, the suspension bridge did not rise, and even the city gate was wide open.Express your sincerity in this way.

It should be said that after Gai Xianmo returned to the city, he ordered the whole army to leave the city and head towards Phoenix Mountain.Even the people in the city followed Gai Xianmo and left Phoenix City.

In fact, it was not Gai Xianmo who was trustworthy, but the military order he received from General Gai Suwen.He ordered him to give up Phoenix City to Tang Jun, and then led his troops to ambush in Phoenix Mountain.

That's why Gai Xianmo made a bet with Xue Rengui in Phoenix City.The purpose is to find a reasonable reason to lead the troops out of Phoenix.

Of course Xue Rengui didn't know this, he only knew that Gai Xianmo left Phoenix City with his troops according to the bet.He couldn't help thinking that Gai Xianmo was a man who kept his word.

When Xue Rengui led the Huotou army and entered Phoenix City, he found that the huge Phoenix City had become an empty city.

Xue Rengui ordered the Huotou Army to search the entire Phoenix City.I'm afraid that Gai Xianmo will plant a trap in the city.

After all, the example of Jili City is right in front of everyone's eyes.So in any case, you can't repeat the same mistakes, you must be careful.

After careful inspection, Zhou Qing reported to Xue Rengui.There is nothing suspicious about the entire Phoenix City.

"In that case, immediately send someone to inform Zhang Shigui that he can lead troops into the city." Xue Rengui nodded and said to Zhou Qing.

At this time Xue Rengui is not worried, Gai Xianmo is playing empty plans.Because even if he traps the vanguard in Phoenix City.

Yu Chigong's Chinese army will also arrive soon, and the siege of Phoenix City will naturally end at that time.Of course, Gai Xianmo would not do such a stupid thing.

Let Phoenix City, which has a favorable geographical position, not defend it, and then go to siege the city with no chance of winning.Then Gai Xianmo is no different from a fool.

So Xue Rengui was very relieved and ordered someone to notify Zhang Shigui.Let Zhang Shigui lead troops to garrison Phoenix City.Because it cannot be an empty city plan, Xue Rengui is naturally relieved.

When Zhang Shigui got Xue Rengui and sent the news.The camp of the vanguard army has not yet been set up.One can imagine how quickly Xue Rengui won Phoenix City.

But that's the end of the matter, there's no need to set up camp anymore.So Zhang Shigui ordered people to pull out the camp and set up a stronghold, and led his troops to settle in Phoenix City.

At the same time, Zhang Shigui ordered someone to write down the victory report, and reported the victory to Yuchigong.Of course, all the credit for Xue Rengui is still credited to his son-in-law He Zongxian.

……

"Your Majesty, the vanguard Zhang Shigui sent a good report, saying that the vanguard arrived at the foot of Phoenix City and captured Phoenix City in less than an hour. Now the vanguard has entered the city." Yu Chigong said to Li Shimin.

"The huge Phoenix City was taken down in less than an hour. I'm afraid there is something strange about it." Li Shimin asked Yu Chigong after thinking about it.

"The emperor is right, Zhang Shigui said in the good news. It was his son-in-law, He Zongxian, and the guard of Phoenix City, Gai Xianmo, who made a bet on horse whip shooting in front of Phoenix City..." Then Yu Chigong told Li Shimin what happened. over again.

"Hahaha, you are indeed my virtuous minister Ying Meng. He took down Phoenix City without bloodshed." Li Shimin said with a big laugh after hearing this.

"Your Majesty, since Phoenix City has been captured, why don't we raise our troops to go to Phoenix City. Then we can negotiate to cross the Yalu River and go straight to Sanjiang Yuehu City." Yu Chigong said to Li Shimin.

"Everything is arranged by Brother Yuchi, but this Anshi Prefecture and Tianshan must be guarded by capable people." Li Shimin said to Yuchi Gong.

"Don't worry, your majesty, I have already made arrangements." Yu Chigong said to Li Shimin.

So early the next morning, Yu Chigong ordered the whole army to rush to Phoenix City.Li Shimin was protected by a group of Wagang heroes, and he rushed to Phoenix City with the army.
