Chapter 449: The Sui and Tang Disputes Arise Again
"Hehehe!"
In the Yingyang Pengpo County Yazhong, Luo Shixin sat happily on the main seat, looked at the latest eagle letter from the secret sentinel, and said with a smile: "According to the urgent report we sent from the sentinel near Luoyang, it was Li Shimin who sent 10,000 elite horsemen and went straight to the direction of Yique Pass. ”
"Oh?" Li Zhengbao looked at Luo Shixin with some surprise and said, "How far is the enemy army from here?" ”
"According to the Malay report, the enemy army has just come from Luoyang, calculate the time, there are still about seventy miles to Yique Pass, before tonight, when you can reach Yique Pass......" Saying this, Luo Shixin walked to the map hanging on the wall.
"The general plans to eat this Tang army?" Li Zhengbao immediately understood Luo Shixin's plan.
"I also want to attract the guards to Yique Pass." Before Luo Shixin arrived, he got Yang Tong's right to act cheaply, and he sat here in a daze, and he had already planned to focus on Yique Pass.
Yique Pass is located in the south of Henan County Longmen Mountain and Xiangshan Quekou, the two mountains are sandwiched, Yishui flows through it, it is Luoyang to the south, Xiangcheng County to the north must pass through, the Eastern Han Dynasty is set to be one of the eight passes of Luoyang, the valley is connected, since ancient times to defend the important place, this is an important pass to defend the enemy in the south, as long as Li Daozong blasts out of this pass, or will be beaten to meet with Li Shimin, then, he only needs to send 10,000 people to guard the pass, you can resist the Tang army of Xiangcheng County, vacated tens of thousands of troops, can hunt Luoyang, But Li Daozong was like a turtle, cowering in the pass motionless, and in front of the pass was a relatively narrow river valley, if Luo Shixin sent people to attack, no matter how many troops could not be placed, in the end I am afraid that he will be exhausted like the Shibi Khan who attacked and killed the Tiger Pass. And the 10,000 people sent by Li Shimin are undoubtedly a great opportunity.
Hearing Luo Shixin's words, Li Zhengbao pondered for a while, and also felt that there was a lot to do, and said: "The Flying Eagle Transmission Message is the exclusive secret of my Great Sui, and the falconry is just a plaything in the hands of those princes, and only the Holy Lord has come up with the method of Flying Eagle Transmission." , we can indeed calmly set up a game and beat them for a time difference. ”
"Exactly!" Luo Shixin turned around, looked at Li Zhengbao, and ordered: "You take 10,000 elite cavalry and 10,000 slave soldiers to set up an ambush in front of Yique Pass, and be sure to eat this southbound army." ”
"The last general obeys!" Li Zhengbao said excitedly.
Luo Shixin glanced at him and admonished: "Martial arts are not good, don't fight." ”
"The last general... Yes, sir. Li Zhengbao smiled bitterly, he suffered a loss and no longer dared to take risks easily.
。。。。。。。。
Wang Junkuo led 10,000 elite horsemen to gallop all the way, and there were still twenty miles away from Yique Pass, when a cool river breeze blew in his face, and his mind was clear, and a soldier reported to him in a moment, "General Wang, you can reach Yique Pass in another twenty miles." ”
"Got it." Wang Junkuo is a rebellious character, with good acting skills and good ability, his status has risen, and his reputation has unexpectedly improved. When he went to Zhuo County to try his luck, not only did he not get an official and a half position, but he was also humiliated by Yang Tong as a 'five-surname slave', and since then, the name of 'five-surname slave' has accompanied him for five years, and others will not say anything to his face, but when Li Yuanji sees him, he always calls him a 'five-surname slave', but he doesn't dare to take Li Yuanji. Therefore, I can only keep it in my heart silently, work hard for Li Shimin wholeheartedly, and become one of the core figures of the Jin Dynasty.
Li Shimin thought that he was thinking about his great cause and relied on it even more, and only Wang Junkuo himself knew that all his efforts were not only for higher authority, but also to get rid of Li Yuanji, an ugly monster who constantly humiliated him.
But he knew that Yang Tong and Luo Shixin, who was the first to call out the name 'Five Surname Family Slaves', were the culprits, and the first thought of getting the order to aid Yique Guan was to join forces with Li Daozong to kill Luo Shixin.
Wang Junkuo thought about it in his heart, he knew that no matter what, he could only go to Yique Pass first, and then asked, "Is there any movement in Peng Po City?" ”
"Returning to the general, everything is business as usual in Peng Po City." The scout reported truthfully.
"How far is Peng Po City from here?"
"About twenty miles or so."
The distance of twenty miles seems to be very far, but in terms of the speed of the cavalry, it is completely possible to reach Yique Pass before dusk, he heard that the Sui army in Gupo City has no movement, and he is not in a hurry, there is still a distance of twenty miles from Pengpo City, even if tens of thousands of Sui cavalry are exhausted, he can also arrive at Yique Pass calmly as a cavalryman.
Wang Junkuo immediately ordered: "Full speed ahead!" ”
The team sped up and galloped south.
What Wang Junkuo didn't know was that five miles south of him, Li Zhengbao led 20,000 troops to ambush in a forest, and he kept an eye on the news ahead.
At this time, a scout rode over, turned over and dismounted, and reported to Li Zhengbaoyu: "General Qiyu, the enemy's 10,000 light horsemen are rushing to this side, and the leader is Wang Junkuo, who is almost here. ”
"Wang Junkuo?"
Li Zhengbao suddenly became excited, Da Sui had a detailed information, which listed the names of the enemy's civil and military ministers, and evaluated their specialties, and a military general of Li Zhengbao's level also had a piece of information. And Wang Junkuo is listed as a top fierce general in Li Tang, and Yang Tong's comment on him is "strong in martial arts, a general who is in charge of his own side, but his character is misbeneficial, capricious, insidious and vicious." ”
If you kill this guy, it will be a great achievement.
"Order the slave soldiers to block the enemy before and after! Be sure to wait until all the enemies are in ambush before attacking. ”
Li Zhengbao gave an order, and the guards immediately went to give the order.
Soon after.
The Tang army came in a long snake formation, Li Zhengbao thought for a while, summoned the two captains, and said in a deep voice: "The task of your two regiments is to hunt Wang Junkuo, and I don't know the other person, if you can't tell from the equipment, then you will shoot at the person with the highest martial arts, this person is good at using a big knife." If you find this person and shoot at the same time, be sure to shoot him. Leave the rest of you alone. ”
"Whoa!" The two lieutenants left.
Wang Junkuo was walking, suddenly frowned, looked left and right, many years of military career made him have an instinctive bad feeling, and he wanted to speak. Suddenly there was a bang sound on both sides of the mountain road, and suddenly ten thousand arrows were fired at once, and dense arrows shot out from the mountains and forests on both sides, and the 10,000 Tang troops were caught off guard, and they were shot so that people turned over on their backs, and the screams rang out.
Wang Junkuo was so shocked that he danced his sword and picked up flying arrows, and shouted: "Rush forward at full speed, breaking out of the encirclement is the way to survive!" ”
When the brave meets on the narrow road, it is too late to retreat, and it will be a mess when you turn around, so it is better to move forward and kill.
At the moment of life and death, Wang Junkuo rushed to the forefront, a big knife flew up and down, and everywhere he passed, it was like a whirlwind crossing the border, and the corpses of the slaves and soldiers killed were all over the field.
"Puff puff~" Almost at the same time, dozens of guards and horses who followed Wang Junkuo were shot by hundreds of arrows, staring at a pair of eyes looking ahead incredulously, but they couldn't make the slightest sound, their heads tilted, and they completely lost their breath.
Immediately afterwards, I heard a series of muffled sounds, and countless people screamed at the same time, and were shot by countless arrows.
Wang Junkuo only felt that his scalp was numb for a while, if one or two arrows hit, there would be no fuss, but at this moment, hundreds of thousands of arrows were shooting towards this side without distinguishing between the enemy and me, what kind of army is this hidden in the mountains and forests? What a ruthless means.
He knew that the other party was coming for himself, and he didn't even care about his own people, but he didn't dare to show too much bravery, after a slight pause, and when the Tang troops on the left and right sides all poured up, he drowned in the crowd and went forward to kill, although he himself was safe, but the hole he finally tore open was covered by the slave soldiers who didn't want to die.
"What a cunning fellow!" Li Zhengbao saw that Wang Junkuo was hiding in the crowd and never raised his head again, so he couldn't help but scold.
At the same time, he also saw the horror of the Great Sui strong crossbows, these Great Sui standing army, the strong crossbows now used are new crossbows made by the Ministry of Industry according to the pulley principle provided by Yang Tong, and they are powerful. I saw a soldier quickly pull out a crossbow arrow from the quiver on his waist, stuck it on the crossbow groove, and then pulled it, the bowstring turned out to be two, one did not move at all, but one was quickly pulled back, the pulleys on both sides rotated, and the two wings of the crossbow were pulled to the limit in an instant, and it did not exceed one breath from drawing the arrow to loading the arrow.
You must know that the most sophisticated crossbow before, although it is extremely powerful, but it is extremely laborious to load crossbow arrows, shoot twice, at least take tea kung fu, and these soldiers, between the bright hair crossbow arrows, one breath is completed, the action is smooth, and the accuracy is also quite amazing.
"General, what now?" The captain who was in charge of hunting Wang Junkuo in front asked with some hesitation.
"Count him lucky." Li Zhengbao couldn't slaughter all the slave soldiers without any lower limit, and after a little thought, he immediately ordered: "Shoot towards the dense place of the Tang army." ”
"Yes!"
For a while, the arrows rained down, and a large number of Tang Army officers and soldiers had no time to fight back, and they had already fallen in pieces.
The shouting and killing sound on both sides of the mountain road shook the sky, the front and rear roads were blocked by the Sui army, the arrows in the middle were like rain, the Tang army was forced to die on the narrow mountain road, in a dilemma, the casualties were heavy, the Tang soldiers had nowhere to hide, they were hunted and screamed, crying and screaming...
It's a pity that Wang Junkuo is extremely slippery, he took his personal guards and the left and right Tang troops to advance together, with the help of the bodies of the surrounding Tang troops to help him block arrows, on the way forward, he stood out slightly, and led the army to break through the slave formation in front of him. In the end, he broke through the encirclement with a Tang army and successfully retreated to the south.
"Damn!" Seeing Wang Junkuo walking away, and it was difficult to see it after turning a corner, Li Zhengbao spat fiercely, and smashed a small tree with a very unwilling punch, before commanding the army to continue to kill the Tang army that was already in chaos.
More than half of the Tang troops besieged on the mountain road were killed and wounded, corpses filled the ravines, and countless surrendered people.
10,000 Sui troops rushed down from the mountain, surrounded the remaining more than 5,000 Tang regiments, and the sound of 'those who descend will not be killed' spread across the valley road, and the Tang army had no way to escape, and immediately surrendered on their knees, and an ambush battle ended in less than an hour.
Li Zhengbao rode on the battlefield and saw the corpses piling up in the ravine, he couldn't help but sigh, after all, it was a battle of luck among the same clan, if it wasn't for his own love, he wouldn't be ruthless. He instructed his soldiers: "Try to treat the wounded, send them to Peng Po City, and bury the battle dead on the spot." ”
After that, Yi Luo Shixin confessed and led the remnants of the slave soldiers and 5,000 Sui troops to chase and kill from behind.
