Chapter 127 Ruthless Removal of Obstacles{1}

About thirty miles northwest of Huoyi City, Yang Zheng was riding a tall war horse and was leading an army of 3,000 people on patrol!

Since Li Yuan took Yang Zheng's suggestion and decided to besiege the city to help the rebels of Wuduan'er, the army had surrounded Huoyi City for five days!

In the past five days, the army has only besieged and not attacked, and the rebels in Huoyi City have been waiting for reinforcements outside the city, and there is no movement. All of a sudden, there was a strange calm between the enemy and us in Huoyi City, and the armies of both sides were taking roll calls every day, beating war drums, and doing some daily training, and five days passed in such a calm and strange way!

However, the strange situation only applies to the rebels inside the city, and it is a different situation for the rebel reinforcements outside the city.

In the past five days, Li Yuan had to send two generals every day, asking them to lead 3,000 soldiers each to take turns patrolling various official roads and paths leading to Huoyi City.

"Stop! The army turned around and went back the way it came! ”

This patrol came over, Yang Zheng was very careful, always riding a war horse to lead the front, personally inspecting the surrounding environment, now that the army has reached the end of the patrol, he did not hesitate, immediately ordered the army to patrol back!

At this time, a captain general with a worried face came to Yang Zheng's side with a few quick steps, "General, there is something important to report at the end!" ”

Yang Zheng turned his head to look at the captain general, and rode his horse to the side, "Say it!" What's the matter? ”

"General, in the past few days, the generals of the army have taken turns to lead the army to patrol, and every day the patrolling army will encounter some rebel reinforcements going to Huoyi City, large and small, the number of people varies greatly, so the harvest damage of the patrol army is also different every day! However, the last general just thought about it and found a very strange phenomenon! ”

"Say it! Something to talk about! ”

Yang Zheng is a little impatient, his temper is a little anxious, especially since Li Yuan took office, he has been very irritable every day.

"Yes! The last general began to speak. ”

The lieutenant general didn't dare to delay, turned his head sideways to Yang Zheng, and said in a low voice: "General, I found that the unfortunate deaths in these five days, as well as the generals who were captured and disappeared by the rebels, are vast majority of generals who have opinions about the town guard generals!"

The lieutenant general paused, looked at Yang Zheng, and looked around, as if he didn't dare to say any more.

Yang Zheng's eyes were fixed on the captain general, and his face became more gloomy, but he didn't speak, only motioned to the captain and general with his eyes to continue!

The lieutenant general looked around again, looking cautious, "General, I secretly counted just now, those generals who have opinions about the town guard generals, in addition to the dead, captured, seriously injured and disabled, and the generals who have not yet had an accident, there are still three people left, one is the general himself, and the other two are also in our patrol army this time." ”

With the recounting of the captain's general, Yang Zheng's face kept changing, and he was shocked! I'm scared!

He had never paid attention to these things before, after all, soldiers are always accompanied by casualties, and when the two armies are fighting, it is normal for anyone to have an accident. Now that I think about it carefully, the results are terrifying, and the analysis of the captain and general is true!

Yang Zheng instantly understood that this was Li Yuan colluding with the rebels to eliminate dissent, Li Yuan wanted to completely control this garrison army, and Li Yuan must have a different heart for the saint.

At this moment, Yang Zheng also affirmed that on the way back to Huoyi City, where he led his army, there would definitely be a traitor ambush waiting for him.

Yang Zheng suppressed the fear in his heart, trying to make his face calmer, as a general who has experienced a hundred battles, he knows that at this time, he must not let his subordinates see his abnormality, otherwise there will be no need to ambush the army to rush up, and the army may collapse on its own!

"Li Qing, Li Ping, you two come here!"

Yang Zheng waved his hand and beckoned the two pro-soldiers, forcing him to calm down, "Li Qing, you immediately go to the front and inform the scout captain, and ask him to immediately arrange two teams of fifty scouts each, and cross the road back for ten miles." ”

"Li Ping, you immediately go and inform the cavalry generals, and let them order the cavalry team to approach the position of the Chinese army and guard them on both sides of the army!"

"Yes!"

……

About fifteen miles northwest of Huoyi City, there is a small forest, and two hundred steps in front of the small forest, there is a small mountain road, which is also the only way for Yang Zheng's patrol team to return.

At this time, in the grove, Li Shimin led a team of 3,000 private troops waiting, they were preparing to ambush Yang Zheng's patrol army, preparing to kill Yang Zheng.

At this time, a scout rode over from the direction of the small mountain road, all the way unhindered, and came directly to Li Shimin, "Report to the general!" The enemy has returned! It is estimated that it will take about an hour to arrive at the scheduled location! ”

"I've been waiting for more than two hours, and it's finally here!"

Li Shimin smiled at the generals of the private army, and then his face turned straight and asked the scouts, "Is there anything abnormal about them?"

"Report to the general, the shape of their marching army has changed, the cavalry team is close to the position of the central army, divided into left and right to protect the army, and sent two scout teams of fifty men each, crossing each other to explore the area within ten miles."

Li Shimin's face changed slightly, he frowned, waved his hand to signal the scout to retreat, and turned to look at the generals of the private army.

"Everyone has heard that now the enemy general Yang Zheng has taken precautions, he uses cavalry to guard the flanks of the Chinese army, our cavalry soldiers will not be able to disrupt his ranks, and his scouts will cross and probe ten miles, so that we cannot set traps and ambushes in front of them. Now that the two sets of plans we prepared in advance are no longer used, everyone is talking, what else is the method? ”

Li Shimin was a little anxious, Yang Zheng's precautions showed that he already had some suspicions, if he couldn't successfully take Yang Zheng, his father would be in danger, and the Li family in Longxi was about to usher in a catastrophe.

Everyone was dumbfounded, they had no choice but to look at me, I look at yours, look at each other and say silently!

After a while, a Confucian general dressed as a literati walked out, and he stepped forward and gently clasped his fist at Li Shimin, "Childe, I have a way, but I don't know how much effect it will have!" ”

Li Shimin was overjoyed, "Brother Ding Yan, teach me quickly!" ”

"Childe, can we send a cavalry team to make a direct detour behind them and attack from their rear!"

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, the enemy army is now only on the sides of the line and in front of the army, but the rear army direction is not guarded at all, if the cavalry team can directly attack from the rear of the enemy army, it will definitely be able to break up the enemy's formation in a short period of time, and create an opportunity for the general attack of the army.

"Brother Ding Yan is really amazing! One hit is a must! Comparable to Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms......"

Is the overlord of the late Sui Dynasty good-looking?
