Chapter 55 The Battle of Yangzhou

The army of the thirteenth anti-king came very suddenly, Shanyang is more than 800 miles away from Yangzhou, the army of the thirteenth anti-king actually arrived within three days, and there was no place along the way to warn Yangzhou City, not even a beacon fire was lit, which made the Sui army have no time to react at all, and the positions outside Yangzhou City were almost all lost.

After the rebels besieged the city of Yangzhou, they immediately began to build siege equipment, and they had at least three days to attack, and the defenders of the city were only 20,000 men, including a large number of new soldiers, so they were very sure that they would be able to take the fortified city.

The rebels arrived in the afternoon of the same day, and launched an attack after three drums the next morning, and for a time the rebels who came like a tide launched a fierce attack on the four walls of Yangzhou City.

Du Fuwei rode on his war horse, looking at the soldiers who attacked like a tide, and suddenly a heroic feeling was born in his heart, as if he was not far from winning the Central Plains in the world.

"General, I have a lot of soldiers, the Sui army is few, the city wall of Yangzhou City is long, although the attack on all sides will weaken the intensity of the attack a lot, but it can cause the greatest difficulty to the defenders, they simply do not have so many troops available, in my speculation, the early morning siege, then the evening will definitely be able to take Yangzhou City, and once Yangzhou City is taken by us, even if Yang Guang has the ability to reach the sky, it is difficult to get out of the Grand Canal, the dragon boat is long, it is difficult to turn, he must get to the lake near Da Gaoyou to turn, and even if he completes the turn, the Wei army in Hedong has already controlled the Tongji Canal, and Yang Guang can't go back to Luoyang, so Emperor Sui will die in our hands. ”

Seeing that the anti-Wang army was like a bamboo, besieging the entire Yangzhou city, Fu Gongyi's face was full of smiles, it seemed that this world was already at their fingertips, as soon as Emperor Yang of Sui died, the world would be in chaos, and the situation would definitely be worse than now, they could use Yangzhou as a stronghold, collect the displaced people and the Sui army, and train them into their own army.

"Yes, this move is really good, even if we can't defeat the Sui army and kill the Sui Emperor, but as long as Yangzhou City is defeated, this will not be a loss for us!"

Du Fuwei looked very relaxed, he said with a smile: "The thirteen anti-kings, only we and the king of the Western Liang Xiao Milling have a foundation in the south, and Yangzhou belongs to the Jianghuai area, and after being defeated, it will definitely be assigned to our territory, and the other anti-kings will definitely return to their original territory after the end of this battle, which is equivalent to them sending troops to help us earn a piece of land in vain, this deal is really cost-effective!" ”

Fu Gongqi also laughed, the idea in his heart was the same as Du Fuwei, even if he couldn't kill Emperor Sui, it was a very cost-effective thing to earn a Yangzhou city, but he suddenly thought of another thing, so he said to Du Fuwei: "General, this time we sent people to Langya Mountain to ask for help from the lord of Langya Pavilion, according to the soldiers who came back, they went up the mountain, and before they could say the purpose of this trip, the people of Langya Pavilion had already handed them a bag, so it can be seen that they had long expected that we would go to them, Although Langya Pavilion claims to know everything, it still feels very terrifying when you think about it. ”

Du Fuwei nodded, no one likes to be guessed all the time in their minds, this feeling is very bad, according to what Fu Gongyi said, this matter is simply scary, if the weak Langya Pavilion is really strong to this extent, it does pose a threat to himself.

"What do you mean?"

Du Fuwei knew that Fu Gongyi would not mention this matter for no reason, so he asked, "What are we going to do with this Langya Pavilion?" ”

"If it can be used by me, it is the best, if it can't be used by me, maybe it will be counterattacked!"

Fu Gongyi stretched out his hand and slashed his neck, making a throat-slitting motion, Du Fuwei understood what he meant, but he was a little hesitant, "It's better to take them for your own use, otherwise, otherwise, just arrest them all, then they won't be able to give other people ideas, and they will naturally not be able to threaten us!" ”

········

Yuwen Chengdu with 30,000 Xiaoguo army all the way non-stop, a day and a night has been driven more than 500 miles, at this time the army is only less than 100 miles away from Yangzhou, and it is already very late, if you continue to hurry, maybe you will encounter an ambush by the anti-king army, so Yuwen Chengdu ordered the Sui army to rest on the spot, replenish water and food, in order to prevent encountering the enemy, he sent a large number of scouts in all directions, for warning.

Yuwen Chengdu was very worried, he was not worried that his army would encounter an ambush or something, the army he brought over was cavalry, there was an endless flat terrain everywhere, there was no way to ambush the army, and in this kind of terrain to ambush a cavalry with a number of 30,000 people, it was simply no different from looking for death, the threat of cavalry on the plain was really high and scary, encountering a large number of cavalry, ordinary infantry had no power to fight at all, and although the Thirteen Road Anti-King was numerous, But they had neither cavalry, nor did they have the weapons and experience to deal with cavalry, so they posed no threat to themselves.

Yuwen Chengdu is worried about the safety of Yangzhou City at this time, I don't know if Yangzhou City is still in the hands of the Sui army, the defender will be the general Chen Ling's person, he is not very familiar, but considering that Chen Ling's other foot general Gongsun Shangzhe has been repeatedly defeated when he led the troops to the expedition before, this makes Yuwen Chengdu feel bottomless, once Yangzhou City is lost, it will be a devastating blow to the entire Sui army, and the Sui army must recapture Yangzhou City, otherwise it will be difficult for the fleet to go south, and can only be trapped on the canal, And if you want to recapture Yangzhou City from the anti-king army, it is not such a simple thing, there are so many anti-army, and the siege of the city is bound to be very difficult, at least his cavalry has no way to take these fortified cities!

"General, the scouts have caught an unknown person, he claims to be from Langya Pavilion, saying that he wants to see you, General!"

The people of Langya Pavilion? Yuwen Chengdu was slightly surprised, what did the other party find on his head for?

He won't be able to figure it out for a while, so he won't think about it at all, the other party will come to the door, then see him first, and see what he has to say. (To be continued.) )
