Chapter 304: Defeated and Killed
Chapter 304: Defeated and Killed
"Stop!" On top of the war horse, Song Laosheng's face was pale and cold. After a series of abnormal changes, he has slowly calmed down and regained the momentum of the battlefield of the past.
Looking at the wide open city gate, listening to the sound of tearing and killing from time to time in the city, how could he not understand that he was betrayed by Dou Rail at this time!
Song Laosheng secretly hated in his heart, no wonder Dou Liang has always gone out of the city to meet him in the past few days, it turns out that he has already taken refuge in Li Yuan! Yes, I should have thought that the relationship between the Dou and Li families is close, and Li Yuan's wife is a descendant of the Dou clan in Henan, but I hate that I was always angry a few days ago, and I was deceived by him!
At this time, the officers and men of the Tang Army made a move. The military formation automatically separated a passage from it, and Li Yuan urged the horse out of it, followed by his henchmen Pei Lian, Liu Wenjing and others.
"Li Yuan is a traitor, you dare to wait here to die!"
Song Laosheng's face changed, and he raised his knife and shouted angrily, "I thought you would shrink back and not come out, but I didn't expect you to dare to step forward and die!" ”
"General Song, today's traitors are everywhere in the world, and Li Yuan raised troops to clear out the rebels and bandits in the world and welcome the saint back to Beijing and Zhenguo. General Song is the pillar of the country, why don't you temporarily join the general's subordinates, in order to crusade against the world's bandits, and welcome the saint back to Beijing? Huoyi City has been broken, Li Yuan is in a good mood, so he thought about persuading Song Laosheng to surrender, and said with a laugh.
Li Yuan's reversal of black and white made Song Laosheng furious, but his face still remained relatively calm, and he said in a deep voice: "In this case, you are also a court general, why do you want to capture my Huoyi City!"
Li Yuan laughed and said: "Although the general has the intention to clear the bandits and suppress the rebellion, but the soldiers under his command are too few to leverage the general trend of the world's chaotic bandit rebels, so the general needs to integrate the power of the court first." Integrate the armies of the court first, and then you can concentrate your forces to break the surface and reverse the trend of chaos in the world in one fell swoop. Moreover, the general's army has been marching for many days, and the soldiers are all extremely tired, and there is not much grain and grass in the army, so they need to enter Huoyi City to rest and replenish, so they can only grieve General Song first! ”
Hearing that Li Yuan reversed black and white, but the more he spoke, the more energetic he became, Song Laosheng suddenly became angry, and sneered: "Li Yuan, you traitor, others don't know what you mean, don't I, Song Laosheng, understand?" You traitor under the banner of suppressing bandits and respecting Sui, but you are doing blatant rebellious things, do you think that all the heroes in the world are fools? ”
"Song Laosheng, I will see that you don't shed tears if you don't see the coffin! Do you think that your thousands of defeated soldiers will still be able to fight back to Huoyi City? ”
Li Yuan was a little angry, and said coldly: "However, how can a stupid person like you see the general trend tomorrow." You deserve to be defeated! ”
"Just because you Li Yuan can also take my Song's life? Hahaha, Li Yuan, you think too highly of yourself. Song Laosheng laughed.
This place is open on all sides, and his 5,000 remnants are all elite cavalry, Song Laosheng thinks that he can lead his soldiers to escape, so he is not very worried, but he wants to take the opportunity to let his soldiers rest for a while.
Seeing Song Laosheng's stubbornness, Li Yuan no longer persuaded him to surrender, and his sharp gaze swept towards Song Laosheng's 5,000 remnants of the defeated generals.
Li Yuan pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Brothers on the other side, your lord general Song Laosheng was reckless and impulsive, not only lost Huoyi City, but also lost tens of thousands of imperial troops. Now that you are still surrounded by the general, you still follow him, don't you want to live? Moreover, even if he can take a few people out to kill, he can only be beheaded by the court, and you, as a lost city and defeated army, are also guilty people. In this case, what future do you have with Song Laosheng, it is better to take refuge in the general, follow the general to make contributions together, and worship the general! ”
The 5,000 officers and soldiers of the Sui Army were already in turmoil, but now when they heard Li Yuan say this, they were a little moved, but for a while, there was some turmoil in the military array.
Song Laosheng's face suddenly changed drastically, and he secretly said that something was wrong, and his heart suddenly had a thousand thoughts, and he reacted in an instant, he couldn't stay here anymore to listen to Li Yuan, he had to evacuate immediately! Otherwise, his 5,000 soldiers will definitely be instigated by Li Yuan to surrender and turn against him.
Thinking of this, Song Laosheng no longer hesitated, and said sharply: "Brothers, evacuate here immediately with me!"
Song Laosheng was the first to urge the horses to run, but unfortunately, the defeated soldiers who had no morale and were in turmoil were now confused by Li Yuan's words, and their military hearts were moved, and they all stationed their horses in place without moving, and finally followed Song Laosheng to retreat with less than a thousand people.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and before Song Laosheng had time to be frightened, the 5,000 cavalry soldiers led by Li Shimin had already been divided into three branches and quietly surrounded them.
Song Laosheng had just urged the horse to run out for a long time, and Li Junxian took a thousand cavalry soldiers to intercept his way...
Not long after the time passed, the 1,000 Sui soldiers who retreated with Song Laosheng were killed and wounded, and Song Laosheng himself was killed on the spot, under Li Yuanba's pair of thunder drums and urns and golden hammers.
……
After the battle with the allied army in Liyangcang, Zhai Rang fled to Liyang City with dozens of his own soldiers, and later some escaped Wagang soldiers came to rendezvous.
After resting for a few days, Zhai Rang took the 5,000 Wagang soldiers who originally stayed in Liyang City, as well as the more than 3,000 people who escaped, directly withdrew from Liyang City and fled back to Wagang Village with more than 8,000 people.
And Li Mi only fled from Ji County with more than 1,000 remnants of the collected soldiers, and those who fled with him were also four Wagangzhai leaders such as Shan Xiongxin, the third master of Wagangzhai.
However, Li Mi did not directly return to his new nest Xingyang County, but directly returned to his old nest in Wagangzhai, and then transferred 30,000 elite troops from Xingyang County. He planned to unite the well-intentioned people in the village, and Zhai Rang to calculate the responsibility for the annihilation of the 140,000 Wagang soldiers, and force Zhai Rang to compensate for the losses of the leaders.
And Zhai Rang rested in Liyang City for a few days, and returned with an army of 10,000 people, so Li Mi's return to Wagangzhai was about ten days earlier than Zhai Rang's, and Li Mi used these ten days to secretly contact many left-behind generals, which also gave him the confidence to break his wrist with Zhai Rang.
It is precisely because of Li Mi's deliberate promotion that after Zhai Rang returned to Wagangzhai, the atmosphere of the entire Wagangzhai became extremely strange.
The relationship between Zhai Rang and Li Mi became increasingly tense, and the struggle between the soldiers under their descendants became increasingly fierce and clear.
The other leaders of Wagangzhai, as well as the influential generals in the army, were silent at this time, they neither mediated nor intervened, and their attitudes were very ambiguous and weird.
