The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 475

Li Yuan just listened to Li Yuanji's words. Although Li Yuanji was a rising star among the Li family's children, he joined the army as a young man, was brave in killing, was a general on the battlefield, and had read many books. I admire this little son with admiration, and love him like a treasure, but after all, he is only a child of thirteen or fourteen, and his speech is sometimes naive.

Li Yuan knew that Hengshui City in front of him was definitely not as simple as Li Yuanji said. Yang Yong defeated many with only 1 horses, and wiped out Liu Heita's [-] elites with only [-] horses. Li Yuan disagreed with the theory of escape, so he asked Ji Ding Yanping.

The general of the two guns saluted again: "Your Majesty is wise, the old minister thinks this is Yang Yong's treacherous scheme, there must be an ambush in the city, we must act cautiously."

Li Yuan nodded, and when the people sent out to inquire about the news came back, they all said that there was no Yang Yong's army in the city except for more than ten thousand people, and there was no rebel army within a hundred miles.Both Li Yuan and Ding Yanping thought it was a bit unbelievable, but Li Yuan was still hesitant and did not order troops to enter Hengshui for a long time.

In this way, I waited for another night.The next morning, Li Yuan sent people to investigate again, and when it was close to noon, the people they sent came back, which was exactly the same as the news they received yesterday: there was no rebel soldier in the city except for more than ten thousand people, and the surrounding area of ​​Hengshui There are no soldiers and horses of Yang Yong within a hundred miles.

Li Yuanji couldn't stand it after hearing this: "Father, what's the matter? You don't believe me when I say that Yang Yong and other thieves have scared away. Take a step back and say, so what if he has an ambush in or outside the city? Our [-] troops are enough Let these rabble-rousers turn into ashes. Hurry up and order to enter Hengshui, maybe Yang Yong has moved to rescue the soldiers, and when his master of capturing the king arrives, he won't have this chance."

Ding Yanping said: "Your Majesty, the king of Qi is right. It seems that Yang Yong really set up an empty city plan for us. Whether we can enter Hengshui depends entirely on Your Majesty's will."

"Well, since it is an empty city plan, we will be fooled if we don't enter the city, and if I don't enter the army, I will be a laughing stock for the world, and they will laugh at me for being cowardly as a mouse, which is really an insult to the dignity of the heaven. Come, pass on my will Soldiers enter Hengshui!" Li Yuan finally made up his mind, and he also felt that what Li Yuanji said was somewhat reasonable, and he marched into Hengshui City with an army of [-], even if Yang Yong had an ambush, what would he do to me?
With one order, one hundred thousand Tang troops marched into Hengshui City in a mighty force.

After entering the city, Li Yuan ordered the military generals to set up the city defenses, and at the same time ordered the civilian officials to put out the list to calm the people, strictly enforce military discipline, and not disturb the people.As for the fact that there were very few people in the city, he didn't think too much about it. He knew that most of the people must have been scared away by the continuous fighting here, and the remaining people must have some courage.

When Li Yuan took Wenwu into the camp where the rebels had lived, he saw that the inside was in a mess, and it was too late to take away the knives, guns, grain, dry food, ladders for siege, siege cannons, and ramming vehicles. Thinking about it, it seems that Yang Yong really ran away this time, so he ordered people to register the supplies in the warehouse, clean the tents, and let Tang Jun move in.

During the day, they lived in peace, now Li Yuan, Ding Yanping and other civil and military officials feel at ease.Li Yuan was not in a hurry to enter the army, but sent someone to detour to Pegasus to report the great news to Li Shimin outside Linyi City.Because after taking down Hengshui, there were only three or four prefectures and counties left in the rebel army, including Dezhou, Linyi, and Wucheng. Then the iron arms were encircled, and the destruction of Yang Yong's tens of thousands of rebels was a matter of time.To take a step back, if Yang Yong dared to kill the hostages, he would send an order to strike across the board, and immediately kill Yang Yong and the others. Now he is waiting for news from Li Shimin.

Therefore, after dinner, Li Yuan, Li Yuanji and other civil and military personnel all rested early, except for the guards and sentries on patrol.

Ding Yanping is the main general in charge of patrolling the city tonight. At the second watch, he led people to inspect the city defense and found nothing abnormal or flawed. When he returned to his tent, the old man felt tired, so he took off his armor and fell down on the bed. On the bed, there was a slight snoring soon.

I don't know how long he slept, but the old man was woken up by someone: "General, something is wrong, Yang Yong's men suddenly appeared outside the city, they are going to attack the city..."

The old man woke up from his dream, bounced up from the bed, grabbed the collar of the police officer's clothes, and pointed it in front of his eyes: "What are you going to do? How many soldiers are there in the bandit army?"

The little school knelt down and reported again in a panic, but he didn't know how many people from the rebel army had come. At this moment, they could already hear the shouts of killing outside.

"Quickly, gather the guards! Don't you want to bring the horse and carry the gun?" Ding Yanping said as he straightened his clothes as quickly as possible, and began to put on his armor.

"Yes, yes... General..." The school turned around and ran out. As soon as he reached the door of the tent, he bumped into a school that was running in, and both of them fell to the ground with a muffled groan.Then the two got up, without thinking about what to say, one ran out of the tent, the other ran into kneeling to report: "Report to the general, something is wrong, there are many fires in the city..."

Ding Yanping, who was not fully clothed, almost fell down when he heard this. This means that there are Yang Yong's spies in the city, and Yang Yong's soldiers and horses outside the city have already begun to attack the city. The rhythm here should be wow, we have fallen into the trap!
Ding Yanping had already realized the seriousness of the problem, and he was not calm anymore. He ran outside before his armor was tidied up, slipped on his feet, and almost fell down. Xiaoxiao rushed over to help him. : "Hurry up and report Long Live, and send people to eliminate the spies in the city."

The little school promised, and ran out with a slap in the face.

At this time, someone led the horse and brought two guns. Ding Yanping took the guns in his hands, put on the saddle, stomped on the horse, and rushed towards the city with the guards.Before he could go to the city, the messenger arrived, and Li Yuan told him not to worry about the city defense, and asked him to order [-] soldiers to eliminate the spies in the city, but Ding Yanping had to lead them away.

At this time, Li Yuan also knew that he had fallen for the trick, but he had been in battle for a long time, he was panicked and did not panic, let alone the useless regrets, the most important thing now was to eliminate the spies of the rebel army in the city and defend the city of Hengshui.

Li Yuan forced himself to calm down and make an analysis. The spies left by Yang Yong must be hidden among these people, and the number of them will not be small. It is obvious that their mission is to create chaos, and they should cooperate with the outside to help Yang Yong seize the city.But not too many, because the detectives have already found out that there are only more than 3 people in the city, so Li Yuan sent [-] horses, which is one-third of his force, and let the well-known two-gun general personally lead the army. Soldiers lead a team to deal with these troublemakers.

Then a decree was issued to distribute 1 soldiers at the four city gates. These 3 troops must ensure the safety of the city gates, not only to keep the enemy Yang Yong's rebel army outside the city, but also to prevent Yang Yong from leaving spies in the city to come and attack.In the end, there were still [-] horses left, and Li Yuan ordered them all to go to the city to defend the city.

Li Yuan's assignments are methodical and both internal and external, it can be said to be seamless, he is worthy of being a strategist and military strategist.

At this time, the entire Hengshui City was in complete chaos. There were flames everywhere inside and outside the city, and the shouts of killing shook the sky and the earth, and could be heard endlessly.When Li Yuan took Li Yuanji and other ministers of civil and military affairs to the top of the city, countless rebels below the city came roaring and roaring.

Li Yuan calmed down, held his big knife, and looked down the city carefully by the light of the torch. At this time, an abnormal situation of the rebel army caught his attention...

　Once again, I wish book friends a happy weekend!
