Chapter 658: Mutual Night Attack
The night was deep, Dingyuan City was in flames, and the 40,000 Wei troops were ready to go. They all gathered in the open space south of the city and fell into a busy scene.
Above the city, Sheng Yanshi looked at Liu Lancheng, who was dressed in armor, and said, "General Liu, do you have to sneak attack the Sui army camp?" ”
The heroic Liu Lancheng has the style of a Confucian general, he waved his hand, and said with a serious face: "The Sui army will definitely come to the city tomorrow, and when the time comes, how can our army, which is demoralized and discouraged, resist the Sui army with low morale and sharp equipment?" Our soldiers and horses are not as elite as the Sui Dynasty, the morale of the army is not as high as the Sui army, and the weapons and armament are not as good as the Sui army. Tonight is our only chance, and I don't want to hurt the enemy much, I just need to thwart the spirit of the Sui army and improve the confidence of our army. ”
"General Liu, but Yang Tong is a famous marshal in the world after all, isn't he the slightest guard?" Sheng Yanshi did not approve of Liu Lancheng going to steal camps and rob villages, but although his position was higher than Liu Lancheng, the other party was the main general of Dingyuan County, and he was the general of the defeated army who escaped from Quanjiao County, so he was a little shorter in momentum, so he could not be stopped, but could only be persuaded.
Liu Lancheng said: "The scout came to report that the two Sui armies would meet at the foot of Quting Mountain and hold a celebration banquet, which was huge and could be heard for miles. They slaughtered horses and sheep, and the whole clear river was stained red with blood, and these are not fake. ”
Sheng Yanshi thought about it and said with a wry smile: "I'm just a little worried. ”
"It's a risky move, but I have to take it." Liu Lancheng looked at the soldiers under the city and said lightly: "If I win the plan, I will only advance the defeat by a few days; But if we win, our army will be able to use the Sui army's siege weapons, strong bows and crossbows, and war horses, even if the Sui army is transferred to the south again, it will take a lot of time, and what our Wei State needs most now is time, if we can annihilate tens of thousands of Sui troops tonight, the saint can deal with Yao Junsu with all his might. ”
"It's fine." Sheng Yanshi nodded, this is a choice without a choice, the big deal is like what Liu Lancheng said, the defeat will be a few days in advance, but if he wins, he will benefit a lot, it will be a big surprise for the morale-sluggish Wei State, and the army will be full of confidence again, and he looked at Liu Lancheng at the moment and said: "Then General Liu be careful......
"There are still 5,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and everything is up to General Sheng." Liu Lancheng solemnly saluted Sheng Yanshi.
"Ben will prepare a banquet and wait for General Liu's triumphant return [Haitang Book House FO]." Sheng Yanshi returned the salute.
"Okay."
Liu Lancheng nodded, seeing that the soldiers outside the city were ready, he rushed down the city with his own soldiers, led an army of 40,000, and marched to the south, the soldiers were holding torches, like a fire dragon that was dozens of miles long, and there was no end in sight.
"Precious." Master Sheng Yan sighed and said to the generals and colonels beside him: "Tonight is a big matter, we must not be careless, we must be strictly vigilant and take strict precautions." ”
"The last will obey."
A cadre of generals should be.
……
Three or four miles southwest of Dingyuan, behind a hill, more than 10,000 Sui soldiers recuperated and hurried to sleep, and piles of mosquito repellent wormwood were still burning in the place where they were stationed, and the smoke was filled. The weather has slowly become hotter, swamps and jungles breed a large number of mosquitoes, soldiers and war horses have become their crazy targets, fortunately, all things are mutually reinforcing, although the swamp is a mosquito breeding place, but around it there is a large number of wormwood, the juice is smeared on the body so that the mosquitoes do not invade, and the smoke burned into smoke can repel mosquitoes, in this wormwood smoke assists, so although there are a lot of mosquitoes in this area, the soldiers and horses of the Sui army sleep very peacefully.
On a hill, Yang Tong put down the thousands of miles in his hand, turned his head and said with a smile: "The Wei army is like a wave of rivers that stretches endlessly, and like the Yellow River flooding out of control, it is really spectacular. ”
Since he expected that the Wei army would attack the camp at night, Yang Tong, who had a large number of soldiers, naturally would not wait for the rabbit, and was only satisfied with the annihilation of the army out of the city, he not only wanted to destroy the Wei army that attempted to sneak attack, but also captured the Dingyuan City, which was empty of soldiers, so he personally led the Xuanjia Army and the 10,000 Xiaoguo Army to bypass Quting Mountain and come to Dingyuan County along the Baimao River at the western source of the Wuyi River. It doesn't matter if the Wei army doesn't go out of the city, it's a big deal to make a plan for a night of tired soldiers, fortunately, the Wei army has a plan, judging from the size of its army, even if it is not a nest dispatch, it is the main force that is exhausted, which gives him a few more chances of winning to capture Dingyuan City.
"Really let the saint guess right, the Wei army really went out of the city." Yin Mingyue next to her said.
"This Liu Lancheng is a smart man, he knows that the Dingyuan army seems to be a lot, but it can't stop the Sui army that comes with a big victory, instead of sitting and waiting to die, it is better to break the kettle and make a desperate bet, winning is earning, and losing is just in advance." Yang Tong sat on a rock, Wei Jun dispatched as he wished, and felt that he could brag to his heart's content: "When I made this policy, I was 100% sure, otherwise, how could I come here to taste mosquitoes?" ”
"The Holy God is clever, and the end will be subdued." Wei Chigong, who didn't know that Yang Tong had two hands to prepare, hugged him with infinite reverence.
"Holy Lord, the main force of the enemy army has left, when will we attack the city?" Wang Xiongdan, who is also admired, is a little impatient.
"Two hours later." Yang Tong said without thinking: "The Wei army marches at a normal speed, and it will be twenty or thirty miles in an hour, and it will enter the ambush circle in about two hours, and we will attack the city at that time, so you should also retreat and rest." ”
At this time, several Shura guards brought a few hourglasses, filled two hours of sand, and handed them to the generals.
"The last will obey." The generals bowed, took the hourglass, and returned to the headquarters.
Yin Mingyue spread out an oilcloth in a clearing, then covered it with a blanket for Yang Tong to rest, and then took a group of Shura guards to fortify.
Yang Tong lay on the blanket, his hands pillowed behind his head, Yang Qinfang spread her own bed beside him, she felt that there should be no difference between men and women when the army was on the march, so she lay down with peace of mind and without suspicion.
Through the faint moonlight, Yang Tong looked sideways at the hourglass above his head, and couldn't help sighing: "This life is really boring." And the most boring thing is to look at the hourglass and stupidly watch the time pass little by little. ”
Yang Qinfang laughed crisply: "How can your life be boring? ”
Yang Tong looked at the crescent moon shuttling in the clouds and said: "These years have either been wars or military training; It's either military or government ... When I arrived in Luoyang, I went to court every morning, discussed matters, ate, managed politics, and slept ...... Isn't it boring to repeat the previous day's lifestyle every day? ”
Yang Qinfang blinked and chuckled: "Tens of thousands of people in the world are determined by your words, I don't know how many people envy you in a life like yours, just take Li Yuan and Li Mi as examples, don't they rebel because they want to live a life like yours?" You are now 'drunk and lying on the knees of a beauty, awakening and holding the power of the world', oh, it should be said that 'there is a beauty by your side, burying thousands of people with one word', how can you be bored?
Yang Tong said: "At best, it's just a green fruit, where does the beauty come from?" ”
Yang Qinfang snorted coldly, with an inexplicable taste in her eyes: "So you're bored and want to have that big beauty by your side?" ”
Yang Tong smiled bitterly: "You girl, these days are weird, just like the June day, the sky was clear a moment ago, and in the blink of an eye, it was cloudy, and it rained heavily after a while." I have not sinned against you. ”
"It's not because ......"
"Because of what?"
Yang Qinfang turned over, no longer paid attention to Yang Tong, and replied angrily in her heart, "Isn't it because you sleep with Yin Mingyue in the world?" ’
Yang Tong shook his head, "The ancients said that 'only women and villains are difficult to raise' is really true, I don't bother to pay attention to you." ”
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." Yang Qinfang was even more angry.
After being silent for a while, Yang Tong said again: "I really hope that kid Zheng'er will grow up soon, so that I can be the emperor." ”
"Cut, is it still too emperor? You're an old nobleman. Yang Qinfang turned around again and said: "If you are less than forty or fifty years old, you can't give in at all, even if the royal family agrees, the civil and military officials will not agree to you to hand over the throne to a little guy." ”
Yang Tong sighed, and said in a low voice that suddenly thought: "Mao Tou boy can't do it, then after I unify the world, I will give the throne to the emperor's grandfather, he is old, let me have a while, and I will pass it on to Zheng'er." ”
Yang Qinfang was completely stunned, a pair of big black and white bright and crystalline eyes widened, and a heart was already messy in the night wind......
When you are a grandson, you actually want to pass on the throne to your grandfather? When you are a grandfather, you actually want to inherit the throne of your grandson?
Can the throne still be passed on like this?
Did I hear it wrong?
"It's crazy." For a long time, Yang Qinfang moaned speechlessly, and said angrily: "The good emperor doesn't want to be a good emperor, so he has to find a way to give up." Why are you so unambitious? ”
Yang Tong smiled: "I'm so busy that I don't have time to eat every day, what's the good?" ”
Yang Qinfang was angry: "I don't know what you're talking about, can't you pursue it a little?" ”
Yang Tong said angrily: "What do you know? There are no computers to play here, no planes to sit on, no games to play, and the food that my emperor eats is not as good as a grass people. It's still comfortable as before. ”
Yang Qinfang didn't understand what he was saying at all, and said helplessly: "The world has not been unified yet, do you have any ideals?" ”
"My ideal is actually very simple, that is, to ride the strongest horse, drink the best wine, eat the best food, and play the most ......" Yang Tong's eyes turned to Yang Qinfang, hehe said twice, and he was silent.
Yang Qinfang sneered: "Go on! Why don't you say it? ”
Yang Tong turned his head and ignored her.
Yang Qinfang didn't let him go, and said very frankly: "Look, aren't you the one who rides the strongest horse, drinks the best wine, eats the best dishes, and plays the most beautiful girl?" If you are not the emperor anymore, how can you have such a good life? So, you're still good as your emperor. ”
Yang Tong was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "It seems that this is really the case." ”
"What is it like? It would have been. Yang Qinfang won Yang Tong and stopped talking.
"Actually, I don't have high requirements, I just listen to eat a plate of tiger skin green peppers"
"There are a lot of tigers, I'll hunt a tiger for you another day."
Yang Tong really wanted to report the dish of 'husband and wife lung slices' to see if she was hunting a couple back, but after thinking about it, he said, "You have tiger skin, but what about green peppers?" ”
"What is a green pepper?"
"Green peppers are a plant that is flavored and spicy. We don't have it in the Central Plains. ”
"Where?"
"The other side of the sea."
"Wa Kingdom?"
"The country is in the middle of the sea, and further east, there is a very large land, and there are green peppers, red peppers, and potatoes."
Yang Qinfang was silent for a long time, and didn't ask him how he knew that the other side of the sea was a continent, but only asked about the appearance of peppers and potatoes
What Yang Tong didn't know was that Yang Qinfang later really took a fleet of banners in the Bering Strait, went south along the coast, and reached South America, where he brought him peppers, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.
Two hours passed quickly.
Under the personal leadership of Yang Tong, the Xuanjia Army, together with Wei Chigong, quietly approached the city wall of Dingyuan West City.
The defenders of the city were unaware, and when they got closer, they could see from a distance that the defenders' heads were constantly shaking, apparently dozing off.
There were still about ten zhang away from the city wall, and the soldiers and horses of the Xuanjia army immediately stopped.
Yang Tong took a closer look at the defense of the city wall, and couldn't help laughing, the main force of the Dingyuan defenders was mainly in the direction of the southern city, and the garrison on the western side was very lax, maybe he didn't think that the Sui army would come to a counter-sneak attack at this time.
"Ready!" Yang Tong said in a deep voice.
In the ranks, dozens of warriors rushed out quickly, and behind them, some soldiers laid planks on the moat, and twenty soldiers carried ten herringbone ladders to the bottom of the city, and as soon as they opened. Forty soldiers climbed up "slowly", grabbed the battlements on the city wall, jumped hard, and fell to the city wall like civets.
The soldiers of the Wei army defending the city, who were still napping, heard the movement, and hurriedly opened their eyes, but when they entered the eyes, they saw a dazzling cold light suddenly rushing under the reflection of the firelight.
"Puff~"
Soldiers of the Wei army were constantly killed in their sleep, and at the same time, the second group of soldiers under the city walls also began to charge.
"Enemy attack."
After a while, someone finally noticed that the enemy was coming, but the shouting stopped abruptly halfway, but even so, his terrible roar was enough to wake up those half-asleep Wei soldiers.
"Kill!"
Yu Chi Gong jumped on the female wall in a few steps, and when he entered the eye, the surrounding enemy troops had been emptied, and there were enemy troops at both ends who kept killing this side, holding a steel whip in one hand and a fierce knife in the other, his black face was full of killing intent, wielding knives and whips, like a tiger out of prison, he killed into the crowd, and there was almost no one to join the general, Wang Xiongdan had also killed at this time, and when he saw Yu Chi Gong's might, he also picked up the Mo knife and killed the other side, and the gap continued to expand.
A group of soldiers rushed to the tower, grabbed the winch, and lowered the drawbridge.
"Go on!"
Yang Dong under the city wall saw that the enemy army had been alerted, and continued to command the soldiers to ascend the city to assist, while a group of soldiers held a temporary ram made of several logs, rushed onto the drawbridge, and slammed the city gate.
Although the Wei army found that there was an enemy coming fiercely, and constantly rushed over to support, but there were not many defenders tonight, and the city wall was only so wide, it was impossible to give full play to the advantage of numbers, and the Xuanjia army outside the city was constantly climbing to the top of the city, and the stunned Wei army was soon killed in chaos.
"Woo~Woo~Woo~"
The desolate sound of the horn broke the silence of the night, and the entire Dingyuan City began to be chaotic.
"Boom~"
At this time, the gates were completely smashed open by the siege team.
The prepared Xiaoguo army rode into the city.
