Chapter 53: Death to Atone
"Yuexin, what are you going to do, raise your hands in favor of your husband. Please discuss something with me, don't keep silent. ”
Su Yuexin lowered her head with red eyes, and unconsciously compared Li Yuanba with Xia Yu.
Li Yuanba saved Su Yuexin's life when she was seven years old, and after that, she secretly promised Li Yuanba that many times, she regarded Li Yuanba as a hero of the world, and could only look up to his back.
In fact, when the two got along, Li Yuanba just regarded Su Yuexin as his accessory like other men, and made her angry and cry many times, and never apologized once.
And Xia Yu brought Su Yuexin a different feeling, he regarded Su Yuexin as an important person, and everything was based on the status of equal consultation, which is what marriage should look like.
Xia Yu pinched Su Yuexin's waist, interrupted Su Yuexin's thinking, and whispered: "I haven't seen the moon, and the lady's figure is getting better and better." ”
"Really?" Su Yuexin secretly gritted her silver teeth, quietly pulled out the knife beside her, and slashed at Xia Yu: "You tell me again, believe it or not, I will break your body into ten thousand pieces!" ”
The moment the sword light was reflected, Xia Yu retreated, chased Feng Huang and waited outside the tent, turned over on his horse, and said with a long smile: "In the future, I will patronize the women's military camp more, lady, you are waiting for your husband!" ”
Su Yue chased out the big tent angrily: "Xia Yu, the next time I see you, I will definitely dismantle you." ”
Although he said this, he was still a little proud in his heart.
The female soldiers were furious when they heard their commander, and they were all thinking about how the little white-faced Xia Yu had offended Su Yuexin, saying that Su Yuexin, you are not rare for your husband, but we are rare.
Knowing that Xia Yu was gone, the female soldiers all had a trace of regret in their hearts.
The night before the departure of the army led by Li Shimin, Tian Chong came to the samurai Xun.
Wu Shi Xun was drinking sullen wine in his residence, and it was obvious that Li Shimin's ruling today was biased in favor of Xia Yu, which made Wu Shi Xun, who had followed the Li family for more than 20 years, very unhappy.
Hearing the creak of the door, the samurai looked up and saw Tian Chong coming in with a wine jug, and quickly pulled him to sit down.
Tian Chong sighed with a sad face: "The third prince's ruling on this matter today is biased, which is really chilling. ”
The warrior Xun drank a glass of wine: "Who said it wasn't, anyone could see that he was obviously biased towards Xia Yu." ”
After observing the words, Tian Chong said: "General Wu, I think the reason why the third prince is biased towards Xia Yu is because the other party has outstanding military achievements, and the two of us are much inferior to him. If this is not the case, we will take our cronies in advance, march at night, and surprise attack Zhang Yecheng, what do you think? ”
Wu Shixun is an honest and serious person, and when he heard Tian Chong's plan, he waved his hand and said: "No, if the third prince knows, then we will violate military discipline and will be severely punished." ”
"General Wu, Zhang Yecheng is only half the size of Wuwei City, the city wall is also old and in disrepair, and Xu Yingtian, the guard of Zhang Yecheng, is just a person who has no opinions, and when our army comes to the city, he will raise the city and surrender. The two of us captured Zhang Yecheng, and the third prince will definitely be impressed by us. ”
Hearing what Tian Chong said, coupled with his resentment against Xia Yu, Wu Shixun was already moved.
"General Wu, you can't miss the opportunity, you won't come back if you lose it, you make a decision quickly."
The samurai didn't speak, Tian Chong pretended to leave, and when he opened the door and was about to cross the threshold, the samurai asked, "Listen to General Tian." ”
At that moment, the two of them came to the barracks, selected the centurions who were usually good friends with them, and led a team of 2,000 people out of Wuwei City overnight and marched towards Zhang Yecheng.
At sunrise, that is, when Xia Yu had just arrived at the women's barracks, 2,000 sergeants arrived at the foot of Zhang Yecheng.
Zhang Yecheng was really as Tian Chong said, the city wall was low, and the guard Xu Yingtian didn't even do anything to set up defenses in front of Zhang Yecheng, and let the army come to Zhang Yecheng.
Hearing that the Li family sergeant came to Zhang Ye City, Xu Yingtian didn't even have the courage to go to the city to supervise the battle, but just let the Lang general Zhang Hu command the battle.
The siege wood was not carried, the ladder was erected, and more than 200 soldiers climbed the city wall under the command of the samurai Xun and Tian Chong.
The start went very smoothly.
The Sui army on the city wall saw the Li family sergeant climbing the city tower, only to retreat, Zhang Hu looked around for a while, and before the battle was fought, he ordered a retreat.
The warrior Xun who supervised the battle under the city believed Tian Chong even more, and it was only between his hands that he could take Zhang Yecheng.
Just thinking like this, there was a commotion above the city, and a group of Sui troops wearing flaming red army uniforms appeared at the head of the city.
The leading general held a spear in his hand, and rushed to the Li family sergeant first, brave and invincible, as soon as he appeared, the situation on the battlefield at the head of the city suddenly reversed, and the Li family sergeant retreated like a tide under their impact, and from time to time a sergeant fell from the city.
The city gate opened, and another group of Sui soldiers wearing yellow armor came out in order, and the general who took the lead roared: "You wait for the thief, are you really deceiving me and no one in the Great Sui?" Come on! ”
Among the sergeants brought by Tian Chong and Wu Shixun, there were only about 200 cavalrymen, and the yellow-armored cavalry of the other side was all in strict formation, with momentum like a rainbow, and they rushed to kill like a bamboo.
When the sergeant of the Li family saw this group of cavalry, he was full of heart and gall, and he had not yet started the battle, and he was three points timid.
Wu Shixun was furious and grabbed Tian Chong's clothes: "Didn't you promise me that Zhang Yecheng was at your fingertips, how should we deal with this situation now?" ”
Tian Chong couldn't answer for a long time, and finally simply said: "General Wu, don't you also agree with what I said, you can't blame me all!" ”
The samurai was angry for a moment, and ordered loudly with a dark face: "Withdraw, withdraw quickly!" ”
The sergeants scrambled to follow the samurai to find a retreat, and used to protect the retreating rear army was the opponent of this group of yellow-clothed cavalry, and they hurriedly threw away their armor and just saved their lives.
Fortunately, the samurai still had some knowledge, and knew that the infantry was no match for the cavalry at all, and if he fought on the plains, he would wait to be wiped out, so he led the soldiers to the west, where there was a low hill, with a gentle slope on three sides and a steep back.
The yellow-clothed cavalry chased to the bottom of the mountain, and then stopped the offensive, and surrounded the Li family sergeants on the mountain.
Looking from the mountain, I saw that it was densely packed with Sui troops, and it was impossible to escape this wings.
Samurai Xun looked around at the sergeants who came with him, there were as many as 500 dead, and a quarter of the sergeants were killed in battle, repenting of their mistakes and listening to Tian Chong's words.
Drawing his sword from his waist, the samurai sought to atone for his sins with death.
Tian Chong hurriedly grabbed the warrior Xun: "General Wu, don't do this!" ”
The petty officer next to him tried his best to persuade him, but the samurai Xun dispelled the idea of killing himself, and asked Tian Chong sharply: "What should we do now?" You're here to give me an idea! ”
Tian Chong lowered his head: "General Wu, it would not have been so difficult to attack Zhang Yecheng, it must have been the Sui army that came with reinforcements again, so this is ......"
