The Tang army supported Hedong from Tongguan, and they traveled a long way and were extremely tired. Yang Tong also spread false news, tempting them to speed up the march and increase the physical consumption of the reinforcements. However, the army rested in the same place, waiting for work.

The Sui army has been recuperating and has always maintained its combat power at the peak. The combat effectiveness and will to fight of the Sui army will inevitably be consumed with the consumption of physical strength. If the Tang army had been allowed to rest for more than half a day, and the soldiers would have been fully rested, it would have been a different situation.

But it was obvious that with Yang Tong's grasp of the battle situation, he would never give up this advantage, and when he learned that the Tang army intended to rest, he did not hesitate to launch a strong attack with a brutal offensive.

The Tang army's military array was indeed magnificent, but Yang Tong knew that this was an illusion. No matter how good the quality of Tang soldiers is, they are still people, and no matter how strong the soldiers are, their physical strength is limited. They are now only tendoning, holding on with one breath, and if they break that tendon, this group of reinforcements will be defeated.

Yang Tong's almost barbaric style of play is actually in line with the purpose of the art of war.

The tired journey from afar is glued to the recuperating division, and the victory or defeat is obvious.

It's just that Yang Tong's first wave of sprint has already given the Sui army an advantage.

The commander of Yang Tong's three armies, and the leader and leader of Jizhou, has a rare opportunity to go into battle, and at this moment he is once again rushing to the front line of the battlefield, and the long-lost feeling of killing comes to his heart, like a tiger out of the cage. The blood boiled all over the body.

"Kill!" Yang Tong shouted, the Sky Splitting Lance in his hand swirled and danced, roaring forward! The silver-white Sky Splitting Lance was like a death scythe, shattering several layers of crowds, slashing all enemies two feet apart, forming a regional vacuum, within the absolute realm, anyone who entered would be killed with one blow!

"Haha! His Royal Highness was powerful, and the brothers followed and crushed Tang's miscellaneous pieces! "Luo Shixin is alert enough and has always been able to cooperate with Yang Tong's style of play.

Yang Tong is certainly brave, but among the ten thousand armies, the role of the courage of the horseman is actually very small, but if there are strong soldiers to cooperate with Yang Dong to fight out and expand the results, it will shake the overall situation.

The Xuanjia Army was originally the strongest army of the Sui Army, and everyone had the courage of a captain, at this time, seeing Yang Tong's divine might, breaking through the multi-layer crowd, galloping inside the enemy, and immediately killed Yang Tong's opening without hesitation. What's more, how the dignified King Qin didn't care about his life, everyone was greatly encouraged.

With the support of the soldiers, Yang Tong led the Xuanjia army to advance layer by layer, and directly defeated the Tang soldiers.

Standing on a high hill and looking down at the battlefield, Swanbo took in the unfortunate situation. Originally, he thought that even if he would be inferior to the other party in terms of physical strength, he could drag the battle into a stalemate, thus giving Li Shentong in the city a fatal chance to agree.

But in this confrontation, Shi Wanbao discovered that the Sui army's combat power was ridiculously high, especially Yang Tong, who was like a bad star, and he could disrupt his gun formation single-handedly, and easily tear and destroy his vital formation.

At this time, his face was like water, and he couldn't see the slightest change, but his heart was anxious.

As soon as he made contact, he had already fallen into a disadvantage, and once it was consumed, the problem of the physical strength of the soldiers would be immediately reflected, and the gap between the two sides would become wider and wider, and finally the Sui army would be defeated. The consequences of being defeated by the Sui army were by no means something he could afford.

The 30,000-strong army he led was the only army that could support Hedong in the near future. If he is defeated, it will be impossible to have reinforcements to support Liaodong in the short term.

What's more, this battle was fought under the noses of more than 35,000 defenders in Hedong City, if defeated, the morale of the defenders was immediately taken by the Sui, and the people were panicked More than 30,000 defenders, how could they be the opponents of the hundreds of thousands of Sui troops who came with a great victory?

Once Hedong City is lost, the entire territory of the state will fall! If the Tang Army wants to recapture it in the future, it will be easier said than done.

On the contrary, if this bridgehead for the eastward advance is kept, the Sui army will always be under the threat of Li Tang, and at that time, it will have to divide the army into Wencheng, Jiangjun, and the fallen counties of Hedong.

But the gap in strength, Shi Wanbao really didn't want to deal with the strategy.

But as the war progressed, he found that the Tang army actually withstood the tide of the Sui army's offensive, not because the Tang army became stronger, but because the Sui army's northern route army never used all its strength.

After a little thought, Shi Wanbao immediately understood that the main task of the Sui army on the North Road was to guard against the defenders in Hedong City.

Shi Wanbao could see Sui Jun's concerns, and Li Shentong, who was standing taller, could certainly see it more clearly.

At the beginning of the battle outside the city, Li Shentong stared at the battlefield deadly, always waiting for the change of the battle situation.

When he found that the Sui army on the northern route did not dare to do his best, he already sensed that this was an opportunity. So they quickly weighed it up.

Out of town? Don't get out of town?

These two options!

made Li Shentong's brows furrow into an inverted figure-eight.

At this moment, Li Shentong is not so much focusing on the war as he is making an extremely difficult choice.

With the passage of time, the fierce fighting on the battlefield has entered a white heat, and after more than an hour of fierce fighting, thousands of dead and wounded on both sides.

The battlefield was dusty, and the yellow dust filled the sky, obscuring the sunlight, making the sky colorless, and the sound of drums and shouts of killing shook the wilderness. The tragedy of the war makes every soldier struggle in front of the cliff of hell, and the physical strength of the soldier becomes the key to determining victory or defeat, and the physical strength lies in the training in peacetime.

Although both sides were elite divisions, the fierce battle of nearly two hours still made every soldier exhausted and on the verge of physical collapse, and the war had reached the most critical moment.

It was also at this time that the Sui army of the North Road, which had been unable to provoke, broke out with amazing combat effectiveness.

This also made the Sui army outside the city dangerous.

Li Shentong was anxious, and the difficult choice made him sweat for a long time.

However, when his gaze swept over the weakened Sui army in the middle and the silver-armored general who had been replaced, his eyes were furious.

That's the head of the Northern Sui Dynasty - Yang Tong!

As long as Yang Tong is captured alive or killed-

The Sui army immediately collapsed.

The Northern Sui will fall into a leaderless situation, even if Yang Yu inherits his brother's foundation, he will not be able to save the chaotic Northern Sui in a short time. At that time, as long as the Guanzhong army is fast enough, it will not only be able to quickly recover the annexed state, but even capture Jizhou in one fell swoop.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Shentong's eyes showed a strong killing intent, and he suddenly made a decision in his heart: Yang Tong's opponent is very powerful, that is, he has a cool head and sufficient judgment as a commander, and he does not lack the courage to sacrifice his life and forget death, this kind of person is the most terrifying. It was not a good thing for him and the Tang Dynasty, only to kill him. in order to turn this bad thing into a good thing.

"Yang Tong is alive, and when he rises, he will become a scourge of the Tang Dynasty!"

"The Sui army is attacking on all fronts, if you hesitate any longer, Shi Wanbao will die. With only 35,000 demoralized defenders, they were no match for the hundreds of thousands of Sui troops. ”

"The Sui army has no more power to worry about! If you don't attack now, when? ”

A few thoughts, so that Li Shentong no longer hesitated, and said word by word: "The whole army is attacking!" ”

The south gate of Hedong City suddenly opened, and the 35,000 defenders who had been waiting for a long time, under the personal leadership of Li Shentong, went out of the city and went straight to the Sui army on the north road.
