Unofficial History of the Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 61

The battle of Tang soldiers in Feixiang City said that the Tang Lord was in Chang'an. It was November, and a group of officials gathered for a banquet in Wude Hall.On that day, Du Fuwei issued a watch, reporting that the prince's soldiers could not win the black door, and ordered the king of Qin to attack the enemy.

The Tang Lord was shocked, and he expressed it to the Qin King.The King of Qin said: "Since my brother is in a dilemma in Luoshui, I beg the people of the world not to let you go, so let's do it now." The Lord of Tang said: "How many soldiers are there to benefit?
"Qin Wang said:" Only fifty thousand soldiers are enough. "The Lord Tang followed it.

The next day, the king of Qin led his troops to set off, and the date was first reported to Jiancheng, and they would meet in Feixiang.

Jiancheng discussed with all the people: "The king of Qin will lead the army in Feixiang today, and the water and land boats have already set out on November [-]th. At this time, we will arrive in time, and we can enter the army." Fight every day, go out every day, the other army is slack, does not make preparations, divides troops to rob the village tonight, it is better than fighting in the daytime." Jiancheng followed, Jiao Yuwenxin led troops to the left, Yuanji led troops to attack the right, Jiancheng took the middle road by himself, At three o'clock that night, the Three Route Army came out together.Sure enough, Hei Kai didn't make preparations, and was robbing the Zhongzhai. When the fire started, Liu Bing rushed to Feixiang City overnight, and the soldiers went out to meet him.After it was completed, it was also built in the village on the middle road. The next day, the troops were led to the city of Feixiang.The army did not come out, and built a siege to attack, day and night.After discussing in the city, Hei Kai said: "Let him be exhausted in attacking, and then capture him with soldiers, and he can be captured when he is built."

On the fourth day of the siege, Jianjian raised the first army to attack the west gate, but behind Feixiang City, Yu Wenxin and Yuan Ji attacked at the east gate, and the north and south gates let the troops out.The south gate is a mountain road, and the north gate is a waterway, so it is not surrounded.Hei Kai saw that Jian Jian was riding a horse under the west gate, pointing his troops to attack the city. From Chen to the end of the day, manpower was exhausted, but he wanted to retreat. Yu Wenxin and Yuanji fought, and I led the army out of the south gate and turned west, and the construction was completed early. All the peasants in the city went to the city to beat drums and shout to help." Seeing the red sun sinking to the west, he told the rear army to retreat first, and all the troops turned around and went to the city. There was a sound of shouting, the army and horses stood out in the south gate, and the black gun entered the middle army to catch Jiancheng.The army and horses were in chaos, Yu Wenxin and Yuan Ji were captured by Hao Yuanfu and Xiang Xiu, and they could not be rescued.After the completion of the enemy's black door, he turned back to the secluded path of Mawang Mountain and walked.Hei Kai came from behind.Seeing to catch up, Jiancheng was alone with one horse, and Hei Kai led dozens of riders to arrive.After completing the construction, we tried our best to whip up the whip, and suddenly an army stood out on the mountain road, and immediately complained: "There are ambush troops in front, and chasing soldiers in the back, and I will be destroyed by heaven!" Qin Shubao also.

It turned out that Qin Shubao first came to fight from the small road, but he saw the dust rising that day, and knew that he was fighting with General Liu. Shubao came first, and he would not die when he was built.The two men will fight to the tenth, behind Cheng Zhijie leads the army to advance, Hei Kai is in a hurry, turns around and leaves.Shu Bao went straight to the bottom of the city for a while, and Hei Kai retreated into the city and pulled up the suspension bridge.There is a poem from later generations who sighed and said: The prince rode in danger, and Liu Jun chased around the mountain city in a hurry.

The sky finally assisted the heir of the Tang Dynasty, and met Qin Qiong to rescue the soldiers.

Seeing Jiancheng, Shubao said: "The king of Qin has not arrived. I am afraid that your highness will be lost, so I ordered the two of us to come first. I don't want to rescue him here." " Jiancheng said: "If you two are not rescued, I can come here safely! "That is to say, he took off his golden chain mail and gave it to him.

While waiting for the banquet, the sentry horse reported that Yu Wenxin, Yuan Ji and Liu generals Hao Yuanfu and Xiang Xiu had confronted each other. Xu Youliang and Cheng Shiliang in the city led another army to fight. The defeat went east.Shu Bao said: "But it's good. I want this guy to come from around the city. I divide my troops into two groups. Shu Bao is on the left and Jian Jian is on the right." Xu Youliang and Cheng Shiliang shouted from behind and retreated into the city in a hurry.Hao Yuanfu and Xiang Xiu discussed: it would be better to turn over and surrender, so the two surrendered and sent their troops to surrender in front of the stronghold.

The quasi-surrender was built, so the army was collected and the village was near the city.

But when Hei Kai saw that the two had surrendered, he was worried. Xu Youliang and Cheng Shiliang said: "The army is in a hurry. If you don't decide to fight to the death, how can you retreat? You can use a strange plan to fight against them. In the coming day, lead [-] troops to fight and pretend to lose. If you turn to the north of the city, one of the two generals can lead the army out and cut off the central army, and you will win." Xu Youliang said: "General Cheng will help defend the city, and someday we will fight to the death." Riding out, people and horses waved flags and shouted for a fight.Qin Shubao said: "Someone is willing to catch Hei Da." He got on his horse and picked up his mace, and went out before the battle, not to speak, and confronted Hei Da.After more than ten rounds in the battle, Hei Tai feigned defeat, and Shu Bao caught up. Hei Kai walked around the city, and Shu Bao tried his best to chase him.The soldiers were not halfway there, Xu Youliang led the army to stop him, and the black soldiers returned, and they were surrounding Shubao in Gaixin, unable to advance or retreat.When Jiancheng led an army to save him, suddenly a team came from the riverside and met Xu Youliang.The first general, with his whip and leaping horse, confronted Youliang. He only joined together, captured Youliang alive, killed the enemy army, and rescued Shubao.

Shubao regards it as Yuchi Jingde.Shubao said, "Where is King Qin?" Jingde said, "Let me rescue first." At this time, he met Jiancheng, and Heitai retreated into the city after seeing Xu Youliang captured.

The general batch: The King of Qin led the army in Feixiang, built it to attack the west, Yuan Ji attacked the east, but the manpower was exhausted, but the black man went into the Chinese army to take it.Don't want God's will to help Tang, and Shubao is here to rescue him. How can Bi Hao and Xiang Er not surrender?And if Youliang captured him alive, even though Hei Kai was brave, he would retreat for him.
