Chapter 644: Surprise Attack on Liyang
Liyang Cang, built in the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui. It is bordered by Yongji Canal in the west and the Yellow River in the east, and the water transportation is extremely convenient, and it is the only important granary in Hebei. Its position is extremely important, and there is a saying that "Liyang collects, and Kyushu is solid".
In the ninth year of the Great Cause, Yang Xuangan rebelled against Sui according to Liyang, and economically relied on the grain storage in Liyang's warehouse.
Li Ji also once said to Li Mi: "The world is in turmoil, and it is a famine." Today, it is more Liyang Cang, and there are great things. Later, Li Mi led the army to capture the Laiyang warehouse and opened the warehouse to release grain. Within ten days, there were more than 200,000 soldiers. Later, Dou Jiande got Liyang Cang, and he had all the land of Shandong.
After Dou Jiande was captured, Zhu Yuanzhang succeeded him as the lord of Hebei, and strengthened Liyangcang several times. However, with Yuan Shao's rebellion, and the Sui army was fighting a bloody battle with the Tang army in the Luoyang area, Zhu Yuanzhang's center of gravity began to move north. To this day, only 10,000 troops led by General Wang Gui are left in Liyang Cang.
In history, although Wang Gui finally betrayed Yue Fei under the coercion and temptation of Qin Hui, Zhang Jun and others, he was able to stand alongside Zhang Xian, was relied on by Yue Fei as his right-hand man, and once succeeded Yue Fei in charge of the army. Its ability is by no means comparable to Zhang Jun, Wang Jun and other traitorous villains.
Although the Sui army is currently standing still, the land of the Central Plains seems to be unusually calm. But Wang Gui did not dare to slack off at all, carefully trained the soldiers and horses every day, and personally led the army to patrol the sentry at night.
This night, Wang Gui still led more than a dozen personal soldiers to inspect the city defense as usual, and after walking around, he felt that there was no problem and was ready to go back to rest. But the moment he walked down the wall, he suddenly stopped.
"General, what's wrong?"
Seeing this, the captain of the pro-soldier couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately stepped forward to ask.
Wang Gui turned around and asked in a deep voice, "You... Did you hear anything? ”
A few pro-soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, and listened carefully for a while, then shook their heads together and said, "General, there is no sound!" ”
"That's not right!"
Wang Gui's martial arts are strong, and his hearing is much better than that of ordinary soldiers, I saw that his eyes were slightly closed, and he continued to listen attentively, and suddenly his complexion changed greatly, and he almost said with a roar: "Not good, there is a large group of soldiers and horses approaching, the enemy is attacking, and the whole army is ordered, and quickly go to the city to resist the enemy!" ”
"Ding, ding, ding!"
The piercing alarm bell sounded, and for a while, the fire on the city wall was blazing, and the outside of the city was suddenly illuminated, and tens of thousands of Sui soldiers and soldiers who were quietly approaching the city wall had nothing to hide for a while. The soldiers who were resting in the barracks woke up one after another, hurriedly put on their clothes and armor, and took their weapons to the city wall for protection.
。。。。。。。。。。
"Damn, this Liyang guard is so alert!"
Under the city wall, the boss Yue Fei cursed with some annoyance, knowing that the sneak attack was hopeless, he raised the Liquan gun in his hand and shouted loudly: "The whole army is attacking the city!" The first person to attack the head of the city will be rewarded with 10,000 yuan, and the official will be promoted to three levels! ”
"Kill!"
Now that it has been exposed, tens of thousands of Sui troops who had been silent have removed their disguises, shouted loudly, roared in unison, and swords and shields in their hands, rushing towards the city wall like a tide.
"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! ”
With Wang Gui's order, the arrows on the city were like a torrential rain, overwhelmingly shooting at the Sui army. Not to be outdone, Yue Fei immediately ordered the crossbowmen to fight back. The arrows above and below the city are staggered, and you come and go, forming a dense network of arrows.
"All the soldiers, the meritorious service is in the present day, do not break the dawn, and vow not to return to the camp!"
The general Lu Xiangsheng took the lead on foot, wielding a long lance to shoot arrows, and rushed forward. Behind him, hundreds of soldiers carried cloud ladders and rushed to the city in the rain of arrows.
"Ding Dong, it was detected that Lu Xiangsheng has entered a state of fighting, with a force of +3, a base force of 95, and the current force has risen to 98."
"Bang ......"
With a sound, several ladders were erected on the top of the city, and dozens of Sui soldiers held their shields high and struggled to climb up.
"Kill, kill them for me. Swear to defend Liyang Cang! ”
Wang Gui raised his knife in his hand, roared angrily, and split a Sui soldier who had just climbed to the top of the city into two pieces.
The Zhu army on the head of the city fought back bravely under the leadership of Wang Gui, arrows rained down, wood and stones fell like hailstones, and black shadows fell down from time to time, and screams continued to sound.
But this level could not stop the attack of the Sui army, and in the earth-shattering shouts of killing, there were non-stop Sui soldiers attacking the city, waving spears and sweeping swords, stabbing the Zhu soldiers in front of them to the ground. Not to be outdone, the soldiers of Zhu who defended the city stepped forward bravely and picked off the Sui army that attacked the city.
Fierce battles were raging at the city, but there was a sudden change at the city gates. It turned out that in order to make a surprise attack on Liyang, Yue Fei had already sent his right-hand man Zhang Xian to lead a capable team into the Liyang warehouse, looking for an opportunity to seize the city gate and respond to the siege of the city.
When the traces of the Sui army were discovered, Zhang Xian had already led the army close to the city gate. However, Zhang Xian guessed that with the caution of the guards, he would definitely prevent the internal seizure of the city gate, so he gave up capturing the city gate at that time, patiently lurked and waited for the opportunity.
And now that the Sui and Zhu armies have fought to the most fierce moment, Wang Gui has transferred the main force to the city wall to support in order to hold the city. Zhang Xian immediately seized the opportunity and suddenly seized the city gate in one fell swoop.
"The gates are open! The gates are open! ”
The Sui soldiers who were besieging the city were overjoyed when they saw this, and shouted loudly and slaughtered from the city gate. Wang Gui was so anxious that his eyes were red, and he roared and raised his sword to lead his troops to rush down the city wall, trying to recapture the city gate.
"Rush into the city, and those who dare to resist will be killed!"
In the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, the five thousand elite Sui cavalry swept like a torrent, and happened to collide with Wang Gui and others, and the two armies immediately fought together.
The cavalry of the Sui army took the lead, and the chaotic army directly took Wang Gui, "I don't know whether to live or die, the heavenly soldiers are still obsessed, take my Fu Youde!" ”
"Ding Dong, Fu Youde has been detected to be in the lead, force +5, base force 98, and the current force has risen to 103."
Seeing this, Wang Gui also roared, and the big knife in his hand waved the ghost of the sword light in the sky, and killed Fu Youde.
"Ding Dong, it was detected that Wang Gui has entered a state of fighting, force +3, base force 94, and the current force has risen to 97."
The two generals go back and forth, fighting fiercely for more than 20 rounds. Wang Gui's martial arts were not as good as Fu Youde, and now he is even more dismounted and fighting, and he is even more ineffective in the face of Fu Youde, who has a war horse.
"Death to the traitor!"
With a roar, Wang Gui suddenly turned out Zhang Xian, who had just taken the city gate, and the spear in his hand stabbed out like electricity. Wang Gui was caught off guard, was shot through the armor, stabbed in the chest, and died on the spot.
At the same time, Yue Fei happened to ride his horse into the city, and when he saw Wang Gui, who had already died, he shook his head with some regret, and said, "This person is also a general, and this commander is planning to recruit this person after breaking the city." But since he is dead, let's send someone to bury him! ”
