Chapter 168: Unexpected Reinforcements
Shan Xiongxin was stimulated by Li Guiren and Liang Shitai to be furious, and his moves were more spicy than the other, and there was even a bit of a sense of ending up together. However, Li Guiren and Liang Shitai were already higher in force than Shan Xiongxin, and Shan Xiongxin lost his war horse and did not perform well in foot combat.
If it weren't for Liang Shitai and Li Guiren wanting to grab people's heads and watch out for each other, they didn't go all out against Shan Xiongxin, but they were afraid that Shan Xiongxin would have already died on the spot. Shan Xiongxin still had more than a dozen scars on his body at this moment, and blood stained his entire set of armor and cloak.
At the critical juncture, the dust suddenly rose in the northeast direction, and dozens of Sui army battle flags suddenly appeared in everyone's sight, and a majestic general galloped under the white horse under his crotch, rushing into the battle group like lightning, and the spear in his hand stabbed Liang Shitai's throat with lightning speed: "Remember! The one who took your life, Yang Zaixing is also! ”
"Ding Dong, Yang Zaixing was detected to have entered a state of blood will, force +6, base force 101, and the current force has risen to 107."
In the blink of an eye, Yang Zaixing had already rushed behind Liang Shitai on horseback. A black hole suddenly appeared in Liang Shitai's throat, and blood gushed out from here. Liang Shitai's pupils dilated infinitely, his eyes gradually lost their brilliance, and after a pause, he fell off his horse.
"Ding Dong, Yang Zaixing Array Slashing Liang Shitai was detected, and the host obtained 10 soul points, and the current total number of soul points has risen to 73."
Yang Zaixing shot Liang Shitai, and almost without any pause, he stabbed Li Guiren with a backhand, and a set of actions was smooth and dizzying.
Li Guiren didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly swung his knife forward to block. Yang Zaixing sneered, his ape arm trembled slightly, and the spear in his hand slashed a strange arc in the air, and the tip of the spear bypassed Li Guiren's iron knife from below, and went straight to Li Guiren's front door.
Li Guiren's face changed, and he hurriedly dodged sideways, and the tip of the spear slashed against his face, leaving a bright red mark.
"General Yang, Shan Xiongxin has come to wish you a helping hand!"
Shan Xiongxin had several face-to-face meetings with Yang Zaixing in the original Sui army's campaign to pacify the Central Plains, and he still had some impressions of this brave general with a tough style and fighting to the death. Although I don't know why he appeared at this time, in front of the Tang army, it was always his own friendly army and not the enemy army.
Shan Xiongxin didn't have time to think about these details, so he quickly retrieved his mount, turned over his horse, and stepped forward to kill Li Guiren.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Guiren did not stop at all, and fled.
"Where to go? Leave the head! ”
Shan Xiongxin roared, and his legs slammed into force, and he was about to chase forward.
Seeing this, Yang Zaixing's adjutant general immediately stepped forward, stopped Shan Xiongxin and said: "General Shan, that enemy general is just a small role in the Tang army, even if you kill him, you won't change anything." The Tang army is strong, you better hurry up and call the defeated army to retreat! ”
Yang Zaixing also nodded when he heard this: "General Shan, what General Lin Renzhao said is true." General Lin and I were ordered to cross the river east and come to meet you. ”
"However, the Yellow River has just thawed, and our Great Sui sailors are also far away in Jiangnan and Shandong to intercept the Japanese invaders, and the boats used to cross the river are all temporarily requisitioned, which is not of great use at all. This time, there are only 5,000 soldiers and horses under the command of the two of us, if we really fight with the Tang army, we will definitely lose, or take advantage of the fact that the Tang army is caught off guard for a while and still can't figure out the truth and retreat to Luoyang quickly! ”
In fact, according to Yang Zaixing's character, at this time, he had long wanted to wave his troops to fight the Tang army.
However, Xue Rengui, the coach of the Sui Army, knew Yang Zaixing's character well, so he specially arranged for Lin Renzhao, who had a calm personality, to serve as Yang Zaixing's deputy, and gave him thousands of instructions before leaving. Therefore, after Yang Zaixing heard Lin Renzhao's words, he forcibly suppressed the fighting spirit in his chest, and echoed Lin Renzhao's words to persuade Shan Xiongxin.
Hearing this, Shan Xiongxin lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "What the two generals said is reasonable, Xiongxin understands!" ”
At the moment, the two armies merged, with Shan Xiongxin opening the way in front, and Yang Zaixing in the back, Lin Renzhao commanded in the center and took the opportunity to gather some stragglers, and fought and retreated, retreating in the direction of Luoyang.
。。。。。。。。。。
"Strange, how could Sui Jun appear here?"
When Yang Zaixing and Lin Renzhao's troops had already gone, Li Shimin led the army to join Li Yuanji's troops, and the strategist Du Ruhui rode his horse to look at the high slope where Wang Shichong was originally located, and couldn't help but say curiously.
Li Shimin's face was gloomy, and he said lightly: "There is nothing strange about it. If Yang Gao's subordinates don't have a few talents, then he is not worthy of being our great enemy of the Tang Dynasty. Luoyang's change auxiliary machine was unfortunately caught, and they must have seen Lone's intentions. If Gu's prediction is correct, this Sui army should have come from the Yellow River, and the purpose was to accept the remnants of Wang Shichong. He had considered this situation before the lonely war, so he ordered Wang Shichong to be released. It's a pity... ”
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he glared at Li Yuanji with some resentment, Li Yuanji glared back at Li Shimin without fear, and said disdainfully: "Wang Shichong and my Tang Dynasty have been against each other for many years, and they have committed many crimes, and everyone will be punished!" His Royal Highness King Qin has a far-reaching vision, and Gu Ke does not have such a long-term vision. ”
"Humph!"
Li Shimin snorted unhappily, and no longer paid attention to Li Yuanji, turned his head to Li Jilong and said: "Immediately send an order to Li Cunqiao and Song Jingang in Hedong, ordering them to send troops to the bank of the Yellow River to fortify, and beware of the Sui army coming from the Yellow River again to cut off our grain route." ”
"Yes!"
Li Jilong arched his hand and persuaded with some caution: "Your Highness, according to the current situation, it seems that it is a little difficult to attack Luoyang. According to the opinion of the last general, if you don't see it, you will accept it, and now Hongnong County will be included in the rule of my Tang Dynasty, and then look for an opportunity to attack Luoyang in the future. ”
Li Shimin stubbornly shook his head: "Luo ** has a very high strategic position, and Yang Gao Xiao'er also understands its importance in his heart. Once we collect our troops and return to Guanzhong, Yang Gao Xiao'er will definitely make great efforts to rectify Luoyang, and it will only be more difficult to take Luoyang again!
If you don't take advantage of the fact that the Sui army has just taken control of Luoyang, and several peripheral points such as the Tiger Prison Pass have not been completely controlled by the Sui army, it will be too late to regret it in the future! ”
Li Jilong gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "But Your Highness, according to our eyeliner report in Luoyang City, the soldiers and horses in the hands of Meng Gong, the Sui general guarding Luoyang City, should be around 40,000, and now with the remnants of Shan Xiongxin who broke through with him just now, then the defenders of Luoyang City have exceeded 50,000."
And although we have an army of 150,000, we have been fighting fiercely in Hongnong City for a long time, and with their current state, it is impossible for them to storm a fortified city with more than 50,000 defenders! ”
