Sui and Tang Dynasties: Choose the Empire Faction at the Beginning

Dou Jiande said solemnly.

The Yizhou army moved quickly.

Boom.

At the same time, a rush of hooves came from afar, and then I saw that the city was surrounded by large armies in all directions.

Yes, it was the garrison army in Yizhou, led by Pei Renji and Pei Yuanqing.

There are not many troops, estimated at around [-], and Dou Jiande also estimated at [-].

With the [-] troops garrisoned in Yizhou, how could they capture a city with [-] troops garrisoned?

The army with bows and crossbows, as well as the rebels with a strange look at the city head.

In addition, there are piles of boulders and slingshots.

From these aspects, it is not difficult to see that Yizhou is ready to charge, and as long as Pei Renji dares to order a siege, the rebels will continue the heaviest blow of the Sui army.

And this is not all of Dou Jiande's troops, there are at least five or six, Wan's troops in the city gathered behind the city gate, waiting to open the city gate to fight.

"This preparation is really sufficient."

Pei Renji narrowed his eyes slightly.

In fact, according to common sense, it is very irrational for an army of [-] to attempt to surround a city with an army of [-].

The disparity in strength between the two is too great, as long as Dou Jiande opens the city gate and charges at this time, he will certainly be able to cause heavy damage to the Sui army.

But Dou Jiande is not a fool, but rather clever.

At this time, he was thinking more about what gave Pei Renji the courage to surround the city with a [-]-strong army. Now that the Sui army has not arrived, Pei Renji dares to act like this, which must be deceitful.

Could it be that the grandson of the Sui family has actually arrived, and is still in ambush in various places, waiting for Dou Jiande to launch an attack after the city gate is opened, the more Dou Jiande thinks about it, the more he feels that there is such a possibility, so the city gate is naturally closed and cannot be opened.

"Dou Jiande, why did you become such a tortoise?"

Pei Renji sneered loudly from under the city.

With the speculation that the Sui family's grandson might be in ambush, Dou Jiande would not be provoked by Pei Renji, but stood at the top of the city and looked at Pei Renji indifferently.

"Your Highness really guessed right, even if we are currently leading the army to surround the city, this Dou Jiande would not dare to act rashly."

Seeing Dou Jiande with a calm expression, Pei Renji secretly sighed.

Yizhou did not raise the army suddenly, but after receiving the order of the emperor's grandson, he raised the army quickly.

At the beginning, Pei Renji was a little hesitant. If the emperor's grandson made a mistake in guessing, then his army might suffer a heavy blow.

But considering that the emperor's grandson ordered this move, he must have his intentions, so Pei Renji chose to send troops.

"Master Pei, if you want to siege the city, why bother?"

Dou Jiande raised his brows slightly and said lightly.

As Dou Jiande spoke, the rebels above the city all pulled their bowstrings, and the sound of the bowstrings being stretched almost instantly sounded.

Although the bowstring was drawn, the rebels would certainly not easily let go of the bowstring without Dou Jiande's order.

As a result, the two armies were confronted with each other.

Dou Jiande looked at some equipment in Pei Renji's army, and he found that there were items such as siege and car crashes in Pei Renji's army.

But with a siege crash, it is not necessarily possible to knock open the city gate, which requires the cooperation of the climbing ladder and the infantry.

But obviously, with Pei Renji's strength, it is impossible to do this, and Dou Jiande is also very clear that Pei Renji in Yizhou only has this engineering equipment, and it can't play a big role.

Even after meeting with the Sui family's grandson, the Sui army has no chance of capturing Yizhou.

Unconsciously, Dou Jiande relaxed a lot.

Pei Renji narrowed his eyes slightly, and then he actually ordered the army to retreat dozens of miles, and finally the two armies faced each other.

Since Dou Jiande had already prepared to defend the city, he naturally prepared enough food.

Even if you spend a long time with the Sui army, there is no problem.

"General, the Sui army is only [-] troops at this time, and it really won't attack."

Dou Jiande's lieutenant asked at this moment.

At this time, the opening of the city gate to raid the Sui army will certainly be able to inflict maximum damage on the Sui army, which is a rare fighter.

"If the Sui army wants to attack the city, if the city gate is opened at this time, and if the Sui family's grandson leads the army to dormant, what should be done around it?"

Dou Jiande said solemnly.

"General, but we have an army of [-] people."

The lieutenant said in confusion.

Even if you encounter the Sui family's grandson, you don't need to be afraid. Even if you are in an ambush, you can safely retreat to the city gate.

In a situation where the advance can be attacked and the retreat can be defended, Dou Jiande still did not dare to attack.

In fact, after learning of the many deeds of the Sui family's grandson, Dou Jiande was afraid of Yang Ji. Before seeing Yang Ji, he would not dare to open the city gate immediately.

chapter

Chapter [-] The Yizhou rebel army and the Sui army confronted each other, and neither army took the lead in attacking.

At night, a cool breeze blows.

Pei Renji walked back and forth in the camp with his hands behind his back.

What is the meaning of this arrangement of the emperor's grandson? Although Dou Jiande has not taken any action at present, who knows whether he will take action tonight or tomorrow. In addition, in order not to let Dou Jiande see any clues, or even make Dou Jiande suspicious, not only did Pei Renji not increase Patrol manpower, on the contrary, has reduced patrol manpower, which has the meaning of letting Dou Jiande sneak attack.

Although this sleight of hand can indeed work, who can guarantee what happens on the battlefield "Father, what does Your Highness want, it has not come until now."

Pei Renji didn't even know the way, let alone Pei Yuanqing.

Pacing back and forth to no avail, Pei Renji finally had to return to the upright seat and sit.

"I don't know."

Taking a deep breath, Pei Renji said lightly.

With the steps of the emperor's grandson, he should have arrived in Yizhou at this time. Why didn't he appear? Could it be that he was waiting for Dou Jiande in secret and couldn't hold his breath, but judging from Dou Jiande's reaction now, Dou Jiande was completely able to hold his breath. angry, and held back.

Such opponents use aggressive tactics, or can give flaws, but they may not be successful.

Today's Pei Renji can be said to be in a bit of a mess. On the one hand, he is afraid that Dou Jiande will attack at night and that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not set an ambush.

On the other hand, he shot the ambush set up by His Royal Highness, but Dou Jiande was not caught.

"Father, don't worry, just wait for His Highness's order to come."

Instead, Pei Yuanqing, who didn't have much thought, said at this time.

Since he chose to fully assist the grandson, he naturally had to obey the orders of the grandson.

Pei Renji took a deep breath and gradually calmed down.

This is a gamble, and what Pei Yuanqing said is quite right. Since he chose to believe in the grandson, he should believe it to the end and wait for the arrival of the grandson.

Or being attacked at night by Dou Jiande, the whole army was defeated.

These are two possibilities.

"Well, let's do it like that."

Pei Renji said lightly.

Having said that, he was still prepared for Dou Jiande's possible night attack.

On the surface, there are not many patrols, but secretly, orders are issued to keep the soldiers vigilant at all times.

If you hear any changes, you will quickly assemble and prepare to resist the enemy.

What Pei Renji didn't know was that Dou Jiande was actually very anxious.

Until now, the Sui family's grandson has naturally prevented him from acting rashly.

And Pei Renji's behavior is really weird.

Not only did the troops retreat for dozens of miles to set up camp, but they also reduced the number of patrol personnel, as if they could wait for him to lead the army to attack at night.

To this end, his lieutenants have also built virtue many times, and they can attack and explore the truth.

If it really lured the enemy into the depths, then the troops could be quickly retreated and returned to the city. If they were suspicious of their tactics, then the Sui army would definitely be defeated, and naturally it would also frustrate the spirit of the Sui army.

"No......, this must not be done."

Dou Jiande said solemnly.

The lieutenant heard the words, sighed and said nothing.

Judging from the performance of the Sui family's grandson, he would not do something he was not sure about.

Therefore, putting down this tactic to lure the enemy into depth means that the grandson must have a way to cut off Dou Jiande's retreat back to the city.

Because of such scruples, Dou Jiande insisted on his previous plan, and he must not act rashly when he did not see the emperor's grandson.

At this time, whether it was Pei Renji or Dou Jiande, they all chose to start their next move only after the appearance of the emperor's grandson.

"General, it is not known whether the grandson of the emperor has actually arrived in Yizhou. If he does not arrive, we have missed this best opportunity to destroy the Sui army."

The lieutenant said a little unwillingly.

He advocated taking the initiative to attack the Sui army, and only in this way could the situation in Yizhou be resolved, and he could also become the existence of the rebels who defeated the Sui army for the first time in recent days.

If this was done, Dou Jiande would even surpass Li Mi, the Duke of Wei of Wagangzhai, in terms of prestige.

This has an unexpected effect on strengthening Dou Jiande's sphere of influence and people's hearts.

"When dealing with people like the Sui family's great grandson, everything must be done with caution and must not be undone....

Dou Jiande said impatiently, the lieutenant did not ask any more questions after hearing the words.

..."Your Highness, you can reach the territory of Yizhou after a little distance."

Yang Ji led the army to march at night, and at this time it was not far from Yizhou.

The Youzhou army that was accompanying was among them. Because of the siege army, the marching speed would naturally be much slower than before.

This is why Yang Ji ordered Pei Renji to send troops first.
