Chapter 176: Shameless Living

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty set off in March and lasted more than half a year until he returned to the Eastern Capital in October; At this time, the world was in turmoil, and Yang Guang's orders could no longer leave Henan; Even the baggage of his Eastern Expeditionary Army was robbed by Yang Gongqing of Handan; More than 30 of the best royal horses were deprived.

Yang Guang was furious when he heard this, and ordered the veteran Yang Yichen and Zhuozhou to stay behind and Xue Shixiong to suppress the bandits; At the same time, he was very dissatisfied with the battle situation of Zhang Xutuo and the Wagang army. At the beginning of the year, the army of Wagangshan had been suppressed in the walled city, why hadn't it been wiped out yet? He had selectively forgotten about the fact that he had been transferred from the elite of the army.

Zhai Rang was defeated by Zhang Xutuo many times, and when he heard that he led his troops to suppress him, he was terrified and prepared to avoid him from afar.

Li Dao: "Although Zhang Xutuo is brave but has no strategy, his troops have won many battles, and the soldiers are arrogant and fierce, we can capture them in one battle." Just wait for him, and I promise to defeat them for you. ”

Zhai Rang also knew that blindly retreating was not the way, so he had to lead his soldiers to prepare for battle. Zhai Rang led 50,000 soldiers, with Huang Junhan, Wang Ruxin, Meng Haigong, Meng Rang, Hao Xiaode, etc. as generals, and lined up to meet the enemy.

Li Mi sent Xu Shiji, Shan Xiongxin, Wang Xuan and others to lead more than 1,000 cavalry and thousands of elite infantry to ambush in the north woods of Dahai Temple.

On December 1, 616, Zhang Xutuo's army attacked in a phalanx, and Zhai Rang led his army to engage in battle, and the two armies fought a big battle in the northeast of Xingyang; Although the Wagang army was superior in numbers; However, the Sui army was fierce under the leadership of Zhang Xutuo; Fight bravely. In particular, the Modao troops led by Kan Ling were invincible, and the Wagang army that was killed retreated again and again.

Kan Ling took advantage of the situation to take the Chinese army directly, and Zhai Rang hurriedly led his guards to intercept it; However, his steel fork was waved into two pieces by Kan Ling in just one moment, and thanks to the protection of the big fool by his side, he escaped back to his life.

Zhang Xutuo saw that Zhai had caused the Chinese army to be in chaos, and took advantage of the situation to launch a fierce attack. Wagang general Huang Junhan took over the command and lost his pawn to protect the commander; After personally leading people to break off, let Zhai Rang and others retreat as a whole army.

Zhang Xutuo took the opportunity to cover up and kill, pursued for more than ten miles, and reached the vicinity of Dahai Temple. At this time, after a day of fighting, the Sui army was already at the end of the crossbow after a dozen miles of pursuit.

Li Mi let the vanguard troops of Kan Ling attack with a loud shout; The Wagang rebels rose up in ambush, and Li Mi, Xu Shiji, Shan Xiongxin, and Wang Bodang surrounded the Sui army. Wang Xuan took a part of the people to block Kan Ling, who wanted to return to help.

Zhang Xutuo was able to break through the siege, but seeing that his subordinates were still surrounded, he rushed into the encirclement to rescue him, so four times, all in vain, and his subordinates were defeated.

Kan Ling saw Wang Xuan is wry smile, he led Xie Xiang and his five thousand elite soldiers, and went directly to the north without fighting; Wang Xuan didn't chase back to help encircle and annihilate Zhang Xutuo.

Zhang Xutuo led the defeated army to fight a bloody road, and once again reorganized the people and found that there were less than 2,000 people around him. With tears streaming down his face, Zhang Xutuo led the team to prepare to return to Xingyang and recruit troops to fight again.

As a result, they had only walked a few miles when the sound of killing broke out in the mountains and forests. The Wagang army shouted: "Hugh is leaving, Zhang Xutuo!" Then surround them again.

Zhang Xutuo looked up to the sky and said: "The defeat has reached such a point, how can you still have the face to see the Son of Heaven?" So he dismounted and fought to the death with the enemy. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him, Zhang Xutuo was in a catastrophe, and suddenly a military horse flew behind him, and it was Kan Linghui, who had withdrawn, to save him.

The Wagang army was unprepared for a while, and was killed by him into the encirclement, and a Mo knife killed Li Mi, Zhai Rang, Shan Xiongxin, Wang Baodang and others who besieged Zhang Xutuo.

Zhang Xutuo was already covered in blood, and he shouted: "Zhengde! Take the sons and daughters away! Don't take me for granted! Kan Lenghui brandished Mo Dao and fought with Shan Xiongxin and others, and shouted when he heard the words: "The handsome man said this!" Today, there is a breath of air, and you must keep the handsome breakthrough! ”

Zhang Xutuo sighed: "Sutuo has the grace of the saint, and the soldiers are lost, what face does it have in the world again?" "As he spoke, he pulled out his waist knife and committed suicide at the age of fifty-two; The officers and men of the unit cried all night for several days.

Kan Ling also stopped fighting when he saw it, hugged Zhang Xutuo's corpse, and cried bitterly. The two armies fell into a brief period of sluggishness.

Kan Ling wrapped Zhang Xutuo's body in his battle robe and shouted: "Go!" Fall back! Then he slowly retreated with the soldiers. Li Mi still wanted to catch up, but Zhai Rang sighed and said, "This is a true righteous man, there is no need to catch up." ”

Li Mi was stunned and shook his head a little dissatisfied, but Zhai Rang was the main general after all, and he didn't say much, so he spoke again: "The big boss, we have defeated Zhang Xutuo, and the morale of the army under us is booming, why don't you send troops to the tiger prison; As long as you win the Tiger Prison Pass, you can threaten Luoyang, and Yang Guang, the faint monarch, will no longer have the ability to threaten our Wagang! ”

Zhai Rang thought so, he asked Huang Junhan and Wang Ruxin to lead a part of the army back to guard Wagangzhai, and he and Li Mi led the rest of the army, about 40,000 people went straight to the first pass of Luoyang Wuguan Tiger Pass.

Pei Renji, the chief soldier of the Tiger Prison Pass, was a tiger general, who was once the head of the guards of Yang Jian and Yang Liang, the king of Han, and fought against the Southern Barbarians and the Turks. In the battle of Tuyuhun, they have made great achievements. He was appointed by Yang Guang as the chief soldier of the first pass of the Tiger Prison Pass in Luoyang.

Hearing that the Wagang army was coming, Pei Renji had a premonition that Zhang Xutuo was more than lucky, so he hurriedly asked people to close the city gate, put away the drawbridge, and took his subordinates to watch the city tower.

I saw about 40,000 men and horses coming from the black pressure outside the city, and they lined up in a phalanx and waited for the battle. There were several generals who scolded the enemy in front of the formation.

Pei Renji saw that the enemy was numerous and powerful, and he wanted to close the door and defend the city, which annoyed the third son, Pei Yuanqing. This Pei Yuanqing is known as Pei Laohu, although he is only fifteen years old, but his arms are shaking ten thousand catties, and he has the courage of ten thousand people.

This Pei Yuanqing stepped forward and said: "Why should my father show the enemy's spirit and destroy our own prestige; The child is not willing to ask for a general's order, go out of the city to kill this group of thieves, and turn one person on his back. ”

When Pei Renji heard this, he was a little unhappy and said: "Young and arrogant! Look at how majestic those Wagang troops are! ”

Pei Yuanqing laughed and said: "In the eyes of the child, it's just a local chicken and a dog!" ”

Pei Renji said: "Look at their generals, all of them are tall and mighty, thin spirits, which one is easy to mess with?" ”

Pei Yuanqing said with a smile: "It's just a person who sells the head, and the child is willing to make a military order, if he can't win, he will come and see him!" ”

Seeing that Pei Renji had already said this, he knew that he couldn't stop it anymore; Otherwise, the army will not be able to bring it in the future; There can't be any danger, your son wants to be on it, and he forces us to play with his life!

"Okay, I'll call you 3,000 people, I'll personally drum and cheer for you, if you can't win, watch your head!"

Pei Yuanqing was overjoyed and ordered people to prepare war horses and bloody jade lions, holding two eight-edged plum blossom bright silver hammers of various 160 catties, leading 3,000 Sui soldiers to open the city gate, and the two dragons rushed out of the water.

Li Mi and Zhai Rang didn't expect the enemy to go out of the city to meet the battle, and they were discussing how to attack the Tiger Prison. Suddenly, I saw the door of the Tiger Prison open, and a team of people and horses rushed out of the water, and then a long snake opened a large array, and a young hero flashed out in the middle.

This young general is nearly eight feet tall, with a thin waist and arms, and his shoulders are folded; Looking at the face, it looks like a silver doll, with a face like white jade, a straight nose and a square mouth, red lips and white teeth, and a pair of big eyes that are blazing. He wears a bright silver lion helmet and a shuttle chain turtle back large-leaf bright silver fish scale armor; The blood-hoofed lion horse under the crotch, and a pair of oversized eight-edged plum blossom bright silver hammers in his hand.

Zhai Rang smiled when he saw it: "Everyone, look, this little doll, this looks like this." His horse got up in smoke and dust, like a lotus flower holding an eight-armed fan Nezha! ”

Everyone nodded and said, "Ah! It's really like Nezha descending to earth. ”

Pei Yuanqing came to the front of the battle, pointed with the sledgehammer in his hand and said, "The Wagang thief on the opposite side, that one came to see the battle." ”

Qi Guoyuan said with a smile: "He makes a hammer, I also make a hammer, and I will meet him when I go!" Li Ruqi hurriedly stopped and said: "Brother, you see that people's hammer is the size of five buckets, and it is several times bigger than the big fool, won't your fake hammer break when you touch it?" ”

Qi Guoyuan smiled: "Mine is fake, his may not be true!" Such a small doll that makes such a big silver hammer take me to expose his tricks! As soon as he said that, he rushed out.

Qi Guoyuan came to the front of the two armies, and waved the two fake hammers the size of the desktop in his hand and said, "The doll on the other side, have you ever heard of the power of the invincible general with two hammers?" ”

Pei Yuanqing was really frightened by his fake hammer, this hammer is too big! Which one is not five or six hundred pounds? Is this guy still human? His own hammer has become a grandson compared to others. It's really unlucky, how did you just meet this guy who is not a pervert as soon as he came out.

Qi Guoyuan frightened the enemy when he saw it, and he recognized Pei Yuanqing's fake hammer in his heart, and laughed and said: "The little doll is named, don't look at your hammer, dare it be wooden!" I understand this, hehe, look at my two hammers? This is a real piece of iron, not made of wood or papier-mΓ’chΓ©! I'm scared! Throw in the towel! ”

Pei Yuanqing's heart moved, what do you mean? How do you say that your hammer is real first? Isn't this the place where there are three hundred taels of silver? Hehe, you're scaring me a lot; Anyway, the master has already made a military order, and he has to fight today, and he has to fight if he doesn't; Let's give it a try!

Saying that, Pei Yuanqing urged the hoof blood jade lion who sat down and shouted: "I am Pei Renji, the third son of Pei Renji, the chief soldier of the Tiger Prison Pass, Pei Yuanqing is." My two hammers, as long as I go into battle to beat people, you call me wood, don't you? Let's take the hammer! ”

Qi Guoyuan was a little scared when he saw that he didn't scare the enemy, but there was still a trace of luck in his heart, so he rushed forward with a hammer.

Pei Yuanqing saw the enemy's sledgehammer smashed down, and he was also a little worried in his heart, he gritted his silver teeth and used all his strength to carry out the hammer violently.
