Chapter 369: Clear Conscience

Before the killing feast in Wentang Town began, Xue Wanjun found that the enemy's camp was extremely narrow, the big tents were densely erected, one by one, and the wind on the mountain was extremely strong, this was simply a camp for fire attack, and he didn't bother to do any tactics, and directly let the soldiers set fire to the camp.

The fire burned rapidly, the raging flames were swept towards the camp by the wind, and the red flames of the tent flew up, forming a sea of fire for more than ten miles, and the entire Taibai Mountain/Dongshan was engulfed in flames.

In the camp, tens of thousands of rebels were burned to the point of crying and crying, trampling each other in the raging fire, screaming and screaming, scrambling for their lives.

The 3,000 Sui troops outside the camp fired crossbow arrows from three sides, cutting off the rebels' escape route, hunting and killing corpses, and the air was suddenly filled with a pungent smell of blood and meat.

Xue Wanbei swung his knife to slash and kill in the enemy group, and the place where the big knife passed was full of corpses, and he saw an enemy general in the crowd swinging a big knife and rushing into the Sui soldiers, killing fiercely, and slashing down more than ten Sui soldiers in a row.

He rushed forward angrily, the war knife swept in the firelight, and slashed the neck of the enemy general, the enemy general had white hair and Xiao Ran, obviously a veteran on the battlefield, he saw Xue Wanbei's knife was sharp, and he took a trip backwards, and the blade split from the tip of his nose, but after all, he was old, his waist strength was insufficient, and he got up a step slower, and was stabbed by Xue Wanjun with a backhand, and the snowy blade slashed into the back of his neck, only to hear a "click" sound, blood burst out, and the head of the big body flew out more than a foot away, and the blood of the headless corpse spurted like a spring, and slowly fell to the ground.

Several pro-soldiers rushed up and snatched the opponent's head, Xue Wanjun took a look, and immediately shouted with joy: "Dou Kang is dead." ”

"Huh?" Xue Wanbei was stunned.

"Ahhhh Silly boy, you have picked up a big bargain, this person is Li Tang Zuo Wuhou General Dou Kang. Xue Wanjun slashed to death an enemy soldier who slashed at his younger brother, and said loudly with joy.

Dou Kang is the son of Chen Guogong Dou Rongding, from the Dou family in the Guanlong military aristocratic group, is a famous surname of the Great Sui Dynasty, Dou Kang's mother Sui Wendi eldest sister An Chang Princess, his cousin is Li Yuan's wife Dou Shi.

When he was young, he was beautiful, frank in temperament, a little familiar with history, favored by his uncle Emperor Wen of Sui, and entered Taixue to study, and later awarded Qianniu Beishen, Yitong Sansi, Liangzhou Thorn History, Qizhou Thorn History, Fengzhou Governor and other positions, and attacked Chen Guogong.

In the original dispute between Yang Guang and the crown prince Yang Yong, he favored the crown prince Yang Yong, after Yang Yong was deposed, Dou Kang supported the new prince Yang Guang, and on the other hand, he had a secret communication with the Han king Yang Liang, and had close contacts and was not firm.

After Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, Yang Liang, the king of Han, rebelled, and Yang Guang was worried that Dou Kang, who had a close relationship with Yang Liang, would respond to Yang Liang, so he ordered Li Zixiong to go to Youzhou and take over as the head of Dou Kang. Li Zixiong really found the letter that Yang Liang asked him to respond, although he did not find the actual evidence that he wanted to raise troops to respond, but Yang Guang hated Dou Kang and had two hearts, so he removed him from the people's name, and the title of Duke of Chen Guo was inherited by his brother Dou Qing. After Li Yuan raised troops in Taiyuan, Dou Kang went to defect and was awarded the title of general master. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, he successively served as Nayan and Zuo Wuhou generals.

Dou Kang, a high-ranking official of Li Tang who was a very popular minister, was cut off by Xue Wanbei with a knife in the melee, which is definitely a great merit.

"Third brother, Your Highness won't settle accounts with me!" Xue Wanbei cried with a sad face, not happy at all, he didn't know Dou Kang, but he knew that this person was Yang Dong's cousin.

Xue Wan was speechless.

In these years, the ones who hate and want to kill Yang Tong the most are his relatives. This kind of relative,Yang Tong will admit that it's strange.。。

"Dou Kang is dead."

"Dou Kang is dead."

The guards didn't care about that, they were already shouting in unison.

Dou Kang was killed, and the thousands of troops who resisted in the end were disheartened and fled in all directions, Xue Wanjun shouted: "Block the exit, and those who don't surrender will be killed on the spot!" ”

An hour later, the raging fire engulfed the entire Dongshan, and only more than 8,000 rebels in the valley surrendered and survived, and the rest were either killed and burned to death, or trampled on each other and killed each other.

。。。。。。。。。

"Quick, faster!" General Li Tang, who was in charge of the shallow water in Beidi County, was named Feng Li, and he led tens of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers down Quanyuan Mountain, and constantly urged everyone to march to Changwu City in the direction of Anding County.

Beidi County and Anding County are also blocked by heavy mountains, and the only access is up and down the Jingshui River Valley.

If you enter Guanzhong from here, you must first pass through Beidi County, and then turn south from the shallow water plain, you can enter Jingzhao County, and the soldiers will go straight to Chang'an City

It's just that Feng Li knew that the 46,000 miscellaneous soldiers with a serious shortage of weapons were not enough for a charge of the upright division, and if he went south like this, it would definitely not have the effect of disrupting Guanzhong, so he did not go south to Guanzhong, but went west to Anding County, where there were very few defenders of the Great Sui.

But to go north to Anding County, you need to pass through a lot of dangerous passes, when Li Tang and Xue Ju fought, the battle situation was repeatedly unfavorable to Li Tang, Li Tang built many large and small passes and military cities in dangerous places, the most famous of which are two military cities, one is located in Anding County's folding city, and the other is Changwu City in Beidi County.

Changwu City is a pass from Beidi County into Anding County, after capturing Changwu City and Zhejia City, which have few defenders, the army has three choices, one is to go north to Honghua County, one is to go west to Pingliang County, and the other is to go south to Fufeng County and join the army of Taibai Mountain.

The circumference of Changwu was about five miles, and Li Tang garrisoned 5,000 troops at most, while the Great Sui only symbolically arranged 300 county soldiers to garrison because it slaughtered the entire Yongzhou.

"General, look!" Deputy General Chen Ji suddenly pointed ahead, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes.

Chen Ji's voice woke up Feng Li, who was thinking about the direction of development, and looked in the direction that Chen Ji pointed, only to see that the torches suddenly stretched for miles in the dark distance, and the outline of an army could be vaguely seen.

Feng Li was taken aback and raised his hand to signal the army to stop marching.

He heard the news that the Sui Dynasty did not have many troops at all in Beidi, Shangjun, Anding, Pingliang, Fufeng, Honghua and other counties, and this army that suddenly appeared was quite numerous, obviously not the county soldiers of the Sui Dynasty, but their elite division.

Soon, the scout rushed over: "General Feng, it is the soldiers and horses of Qin Qiong, the general of the Sui Dynasty. ”

Feng Li's heart shook violently and he snorted in pain.

Qin Qiong used to be Zhang Xutuo's number one general, and he made great achievements in counterinsurgency, and his best means was to use a small group of elite troops to shake dozens of times his own bandits and people, he has been in Henan Province for so many years, and he has never missed... After following Yang Tong, he was still the number one thug of the Sui Dynasty, and he Qin Qiong was indispensable in every battle... Now he has stood out from many generals and become the commander of the north of the Sui Dynasty, killing hundreds of thousands of Turks in one year, so that the Turkic children dare not cry at night.

What is frustrating is that the tens of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers under him Feng Li are no different from the bandits, which is really terrible.

At the same time, Feng Li also figured out that it must have been their secret plan, or the traitor's betrayal, which caused the Sui Dynasty to know in advance and send this evil star to stop him from coming.

Feng Li looked around and found that this place was not suitable for ambushes at all, even if the Sui Dynasty wanted to ambush itself, it should find a suitable place for ambushes.

Could it be that it was just a false appearance, the Sui Dynasty didn't know that he was coming, but after getting the news, he hurriedly sent someone to pretend to be Qin Qiong to stop it?

This thought was immediately dispelled by Feng Li, because this place was the most suitable for the Sui army, which was ridden by the whole army, to attack, which was exactly what Qin Qiongzhi was good at.

Just when Feng Li was in doubt, Chen Ji exclaimed again, pointed in another direction and said, "General, you, look over there!" ”

Feng Li turned his head in shock, and in the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, a long fire dragon gradually appeared in sight, and a scout rushed over, looking panicked and said, "General, another large army has appeared in the southeast direction." ”

"Do you know who it is?" Feng Li's face became even more ugly, a Qin Qiong made him a little helpless, but he brought out a lot of soldiers and horses, no matter how powerful Qin Qiong was, he couldn't kill tens of thousands of people, after all, this kind of melee is not about personal bravery. But at this moment, another team of people appeared, which made Feng Li's heart continue to sink.

"Look at the flag, it's either Xue Wanjun, it's Xue Wanche!"

"......" Feng Li was speechless, whether it was Xue Wanjun or Xue Wanche, it was not a good stubble, Xue Wanjun was in the battle of Guanzhong, with the corpses of more than 80,000 Turkic slaves built together. The tragic scene frightened the defenders of Xiangwu City in Longxi County, and obediently gave up resistance, resulting in Li Shimin losing the logistics and having to move to Shu; Xue Wanche's name was naturally not as loud as his brother's, but he was also a fierce general in the Sui Dynasty, and in the first battle of Yemachuan, the lone army went deep into the steppe, so that the Turkic army near the Dujin Mountain could not go south, resulting in the Jieli Khan's more than 100,000 troops being wiped out.

"Array up to meet the enemy!"

The two armies of the other side have been approaching, Feng Li did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered to line up, now it is impossible to retreat, if you retreat at this time, you are in the arms of the enemy, they can ride horses and slaughter his soldiers one by one from behind, rather than let people hunt, it is better to fight against the water, maybe it can also get miraculous results.

"Woo woo woo~"

In the melodious sound of the horn, the oncoming army swept towards this side with earth-shattering might, Feng Li clenched the weapon in his hand, but there was an indescribable sense of despair in his heart.

Regardless of the outcome, it is unlikely that the task of disrupting the land of Yongzhou will be completed.

"Look at the north, there are so many torches!"

Hearing the exclamation of someone around him, Feng Li's complexion changed again, and he hurriedly looked over, and there was another fire dragon coming from the north, and it was difficult to see behind it clearly, but he saw a group of Sui troops rushing out from behind a small hill, and the big banner with the word 'Wei Chi' written on it was waving in the wind.

Wei Chigong?

Feng Li was even more shocked in his heart, regardless of whether it was Xue Wanjun or Xue Wanche's Sui soldiers on the Eastern Road, but the war in the north was over, Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong should be by Yang Tong's side now, why did they all come here?

Suddenly, Feng Li thought of a possibility, these people did not go to Chang'an at all, but broke away from Yang Tong on the way south, and then sat back and waited for him to appear.

Wei Chi Gong's army was the closest to him, and he could clearly see the opponent's military appearance at this moment, just looking at the number, I am afraid that there are no less than 20,000 people, plus the other two soldiers and horses, Feng Li no longer has an advantage in numbers, and his combat effectiveness is ......???
