Chapter 15: The Siege of the City

Facing Fang Jie's intimidation, Ren Ze said awe-inspiringly: "General Fang, the lower official is dedicated to the Chu State, even if you want to kill the lower official, the lower official must prevent General Ye from abandoning the city and leaving." ”

"I think you've lived enough!" Fang Jie drew his sword out of the sheath, and was about to behead Ren Ze.

"General Fang, slow down!"

Just as Fang Jie drew his sword out of its sheath, Ye Xiaobi suddenly stopped it, turned his head to look at Ren Ze and asked in a deep voice: "Ren Taishou, why do you say that we can't abandon the city and leave, now is a rare fighter?" ”

Ren Ze replied: "Although our army was surrounded by the Sui army in the county seat, the general should not forget that the army of the King of Chu has also entered Huainan, as long as we cooperate with the King of Chu properly, it is not impossible to completely annihilate the Sui army under the city." If the Sui army under the city is completely annihilated, the king of Chu can sweep Huainan and go straight to Jiangdu, and the first merit is the general! ”

Ye Xiaobi was quite moved when he heard this, and he stroked his beard and was silent.

Fang Jie on the side was in a hurry when he saw this, and hurriedly persuaded: "General Ye must not, not to mention that now that the Sui army is besieging the city, it is difficult for our army to contact the king of Chu at all, even if the king of Chu is contacted, our army is only 80,000, and the Sui army also has 80,000, and wanting to annihilate them in one fell swoop is tantamount to a fool's dream!" ”

Ren Ze smiled gloomily, "Why did General Fang grow the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige, I think you don't want General Ye to make great contributions!" ”

When Fang Jie heard this, he suddenly jumped like thunder, "You villain dares to sow discord here, I think you are a spy of the Sui army!" ”

"Okay, General Fang, stop arguing." Ye Xiaobian's eyes were like torches, and he said in a deep voice: "The general has made up his mind, the whole army will stay in Huoqiu, wait for the reinforcements of the King of Chu, and join forces to attack the Sui army under the city!" ”

Ren Ze was overjoyed when he heard this, and praised: "General Ye is high! ”

........

In the Sui army array under the city, Chang Yuchun watched the city for a long time, laughed, and said to Xue Rengui: "General, it seems that this group of traitors does not plan to escape!" ”

Xue Rengui smiled slightly and said, "This is very good, as long as they stay in the city, then Li Zitong will definitely come." The small fish and shrimp in the city will not be able to look down on it, but Li Zitong is the big fish that will be caught! ”

Chang Yuchun heard the words and said: "General, the last general still has something to play the general!" ”

Xue Rengui asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Chang Yuchun said in a deep voice: "At the end of yesterday, when he lured the enemy, he found that there was a general among the traitors who was quite strong in martial arts, and the general claimed to be named Fang Jie, so that a Fang Tian painting halberd, if the last general fought with him with a real knife and a real gun, I am afraid that it would be difficult to distinguish the winner without a hundred and eighty times!" ”

Xue Rengui exclaimed, "Oh? Li Zitong's subordinates only knew that Wu Yunzhao, the former Nanyang guard, had the courage of ten thousand people, but this Fang Jie was unheard of, he couldn't imagine that he had such a strong martial art, it seems that these thieves should not be underestimated! ”

Chang Yuchun shook his head and said: "What the general said is extremely true! ”

..........

South of Huainan County, Changlong Pass.

The dust in the sky was rolling like a black cloud.

Xue Rengui planned to use Ye Xiaobian's department as bait to lure Li Zitong to come to the rescue, so naturally he wanted to send someone to report to Li Zitong, so when Ye Xiaobi in Huoqiu County sent someone to break through and deliver the letter, Xue Rengui was extremely generous and let them live.

The 30,000 troops under Ye Xiaobian's department were already nearly one-third of Li Zitong's belongings, so he didn't dare to slack off after hearing the news, and rushed to Huoqiu County day and night. If you can join forces to attack the Sui army under the city as Ye Xiaobi said, it is naturally the best, if not, then you must rescue Ye Xiaobi's department, if Ye Xiaobi's department is wiped out, then he must be seriously injured, don't think about making a big move within three years.

The Chu army was at the forefront, Wu Yunzhao was wearing a phoenix-winged silver helmet, wearing dragon scale silver armor, wearing a python dragon white robe on his shoulders, his face was like purple jade, his eyes were like stars, three locks of long hair, and the silver snake spear spear in his hand flashed with a compelling cold light.

The winding mountain road, stretching for more than 20 miles, this fashion is noon, there are still several hours before dark, although the mountain road is rugged, but as long as the marching speed is slightly accelerated, it is not a problem to cross the Changlong mountain road before dark, and rest on the flat ground in front.

Whether it was Li Zitong, Wu Yunzhao, and Fang La, they were all people who had led the troops for many years, and they all understood the importance of finding a good place to set up camp, and urged the whole army to speed up the march early.

Tens of thousands of troops drove the smoke and dust in the sky, rushed all the way, and soon rushed into the Changlong Pass, and went north along the mountain road, like a long dragon.

Seeing that when the red sun was slanting westward, it had already passed through most of the mountain road, and the mountain road that was originally dozens of zhang wide suddenly gradually narrowed, and the front was gradually only more than ten zhang wide, and the mountains on both sides were becoming more and more precipitous.

Li Zitong rode in the center of the team, looked at the terrain on both sides, suddenly laughed three times, looked back left and right and said: "I heard that this Xue Li has won consecutive battles in the past two years, and faintly has the title of the first general of the Sui Dynasty, but in Gu's opinion, this person is in name only, and he is not a handsome talent." This Changlong Mountain Road is so steep, if Xue Li sends a group of soldiers and horses to fortify, I'm afraid we will have to pay a heavy price if we want to pass! ”

Several generals beside him all bowed their hands and complimented: "This must be God bless the King of Chu, and let the King of Chu achieve great things!" ”

Knock knock knock......

Li Zitong was laughing wildly, and the drums suddenly sounded loudly in the dense forests on both sides, and countless ambush soldiers emerged from the grass and pine and cypress bushes, and they all bent their bows and arrows and shot down at the Chu army in the middle of the mountain road.

Puff puff!

Sharp arrows rained down, and the Chu army was caught off guard and shot down a large area, the horses neighed, and blood splattered.

"Brothers, kill me!"

Lu Henghu, who had been in ambush in the forest for a long time, roared, brandished the big knife in his hand, and slaughtered like a tiger.

More than 30,000 soldiers of the Sui army appeared in an instant, and they were all over the mountains and fields towards the avenue.

The Chu army ran wildly all the way, not expecting that there would be an ambush here, and was stunned by the sudden rain of arrows, and before they could react, countless Sui troops on both sides had already overwhelmingly rolled down.

Blood splattered, screams rose to the sky, and the long snake-like Chu army was cut into two sections in the blink of an eye.

"Brothers, quick, follow me, rush out of the mountain road first!"

Although it was a sudden attack, Wu Yunzhao still reacted quickly, it was impossible to judge how many Sui troops there were in the dense forest, and the formation of the Chinese army had been disrupted by the Sui army, and it was definitely not a wise choice to fight with the Sui army here in the mountain road, so it was better to rush to the plains first to regroup the formation.

Wu Yunzhao bravely crowned the three armies, and his prestige in the Chu army was extremely high, and the Chu army, which was in a mess when he heard his shouts, seemed to have found the backbone, and followed Wu Yunzhao to rush forward with the rain of arrows.

Wu Yunzhao wielded the silver snake spear spear in his hand, kept shooting down the arrows that shot at him, and fought his way out of the rugged Changlong Mountain Road. But before he could kick his breath, there was another shout of killing in the north, and Xue Rengui flew down the jade dragon horse in his crotch, holding Fang Tian's halberd in his hand, and led three thousand elite horsemen to sweep from the northeast.
