Chapter 0572. Battle of Suiyang

Just when there was a storm in Guanzhong, the war in Kanto also entered the white heat. [This site has a new domain name. initials, previously registered accounts can still be used]

Even at this time, Li Tai did not give up his ambition for the throne*, while the fertile fields of Liaodong were full of hunger and rebellion, while Li Tai traded most of the harvest income with Li You of the Wa Kingdom, and exchanged all of them for armor and weapons, and most of the remaining grain was also for the army.

Li Chengqian's Juli only had 50,000 troops, and Li Tai's Liaodong Standing Army was as many as 150,000.

In the chaotic Liaodong, Li Tai's army can be called a tiger wolf, a real tiger wolf!

Chai Lingwu rebellion began, Li Tai, who had been preparing for many years, began to be restless, and the soldiers and horses frequently provoked Yingzhou, and in the small-scale contact, Liu Renyuan, who succeeded the late Zhang Jian, the governor of Yingzhou, was quite a general, and defeated Li Taijun several times.

But the news of Li Jie's capture of Chang'an once again deeply stimulated Li Tai, or in the shadow of this old nine, it is not only Gaozong Li Zhi alone, Liaodong is even Li Jiebu's game, let Li Tai pick peaches, Tang Taizong died, and when Qunjiao entered Chang'an, it was Li Jie who almost rode into the city alone, but it promoted the entire Fengyun force, so that Li Tai, who had always been with Li Chengqian as the protagonist of the political arena, was extremely resentful but had to be led by the nose.

Now, this old nine Li Jie can easily win the throne again, and all the time, jealousy bites Li Tai

That vigorous ambition.

The 150,000 army poured out, defeated the 30,000 troops in Yingzhou in three days, penetrated Hebei in nine days, and approached the periphery of Luoyang in more than 30 days.

Li Tai's army is not just called a tiger wolf in the war!

In the rumbling snare drum, Li Tai's fat body was wrapped in an oversized Mingguang armor, standing on the chariot and laughing, holding his sword crookedly and shouting at the city in front of him: "Hahaha, kill!" Kill this king! Lay down the city and have a day off! ”

The eyes of countless Liaodong soldiers in front of the battle array stimulated by these words were red, what kind of monarch did they follow, what kind of soldiers did they bring out, and the Goguryeo, Khitan, Xi people, and Yan people who followed Li Jie gradually integrated into the Tang Dynasty civilization society, obeyed the order, and advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, while the soldiers who followed Li Tai became more barbaric and bloodthirsty, and rushed towards the city wall with blood-red eyes under the promise of looting.

The city in front of you, Suiyang!

Suiyang is part of Shangqiu in later generations, the birthplace of the Shang Dynasty, in fact, this is not an important checkpoint to Luoyang, it can be bypassed, but unfortunately what is behind here attracts Li Tai's attention.

Grain!

Suiyang hides the Jianghuai behind it, although Guanzhong is also a grain-producing area, the population there is too inflated, a large part of the grain in Guanzhong comes from Jianghuai, if the Jianghuai is plundered, the original Li Tai's nearly exhausted military food will be full, and Guanzhong will also starve, killing two birds with one stone.

In the frantic shouting, tens of thousands of Liaodong soldiers supported the big armor created by the Japanese state, carried the leather shields of Liaodong and charged frantically towards the city wall, facing the rebels, and Suiyang City also shot out feather arrows in the sky.

The high-speed rotating arrows pierced down with a whistling sound, and the sound of puff and puff continued to sound, some of them were pierced into the leather shield, some of them were pierced into the body, and some of the Liaodong barbarians who were running wildly regardless of formation directly fell backwards and fell to the ground with a heavy head, and some were hit by a few arrows and still roared and ran, and it took a long time to fall down, and some were in the middle of the legs, staggering and trying to get up, but they were stepped on by later people.

Rao is so, thousands of people still rushed to the city wall with the ladder, the long siege ladder rod with these northern barbarians surged towards the city wall, hundreds of elites were thrown up by the rod, and the defenders of the city were caught off guard immediately under the drastic killing, and more people gritted their teeth and smashed down desperately with the rolling stone sleeker.

It can be said before that the tiger and wolf of Li Tai's army are not only on the battlefield, there are Liaodong Road to operate the state, Hebei, and the place where the Liaodong army has passed is like a locust sweeping, thousands of miles of red land, regardless of whether the city surrenders or not, the city will be washed, and the corpses will be killed all over the barbarians, and some of the cities that swear to resist to the death and resolutely do not open the city are a little better, so the Suiyang people resist extremely desperately.

Looking at the head of the city that was fighting in a fierce battle, Li Tai's chief military division, Liaodong Changshi Yan Liang was no longer young, but his cheeks were wrinkled deeply, he did not approve of attacking Suiyang, the rebellion was speed, even if he couldn't enter Chang'an in one go, occupying Luoyang would have the righteousness of the world, and it would not be impossible to fight against the King of Min in Chang'an at that time, but now?

Wasting time on looting, once Li Jie gained a firm foothold, Li Tai was about to face the siege of the world, and in his inner worry, Yan Liang couldn't help but turn his head, he was already annoyed by his persuasion, Li Tai laughed and shook his fat head under his helmet for the first time.

"Uncle Yue, it's just a small city, it won't take much time, one day, look, isn't this going to be attacked?"

Turning his head, in just a cup of tea, the Liaodong tiger wolf had already fiercely bitten several gaps in the city wall, seeing this, Yan Liang also had to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, and sighed secretly, I hope so!

In fact, Suiyang is not a small city, and more than 100 years later, a big war broke out in Suiyang, the rebel Yin Ziqi Hebei rebels 130,000 besieged Suiyang in the Anshi Rebellion, and Zhang Xun in the imperial history had 7,000 weak and weak brigades here to fight with it for more than a year, and the rebels reinforced as many as 120,000 before and after the killing, which directly saved the crumbling Tang Empire.

It's a pity that at this time Suiyang did not have Zhang Xun this first-class commander, although there was a desire to kill the thief, but it was really outnumbered, Suiyang County ordered to organize more than 1,000 soldiers to take the people to the city and soon was killed by the vicious Liaodong tiger wolf, and they fled down the city wall, the fierce Khitan soldiers picked up the big axe and cut down the city gate, the hundred-pound city gate suddenly opened, and the Liaodong army outside immediately cheered and rushed in.

"Hahaha, good thing, good thing!"

In the sound of the ghost crying wolf, the first unlucky thing is the house near the city gate, the shop, who has lived in Liaodong for a long time is so poor that he has a head left, and when he enters the Central Plains, he really looks at everything, and he can't even care about chasing and killing the enemy, and the Liaodong army that rushed into the city took the lead in laughing and looting, who has good things, who has a beautiful daughter, and a beautiful daughter-in-law has suffered.

"Please, Master Jun, don't arrest my daughter!"

"Fuck off, old thing!"

"Ah, this is the last bit of food for our family, let us go!"

"Please, don't catch my grandma!"

"Help!"

The green-clothed sweet girl cried and fled to the alley, dozens of Liaodong soldiers Yin smiled and chased after her, there were fights and looting everywhere, and the slightest obstruction was unsatisfactory, and the minority soldiers from Liaodong directly cut it without a knife, and a third of the city became hell in an instant.

followed the killing into the city, Li Tai not only did not restrain the military discipline, but was willing, pointing to a group of soldiers who were chasing girls, laughing and shouting: "A bunch of rabbit cubs, I don't know what to leave for this king, come and chase, that girl is alone!" ”

Seeing that Li Tai was about to rush in and rob the people's daughter regardless of his identity, Yan Liang couldn't help but pull Li Tai's fat arm again sadly and admonished: "Lord, the son of a daughter can't sit down, just send someone to send that girl......

Suddenly, a strong sense of crisis rose in his heart, and before he could finish speaking, Yan Liang suddenly pulled hard, and the ball-like Li Tai lay on the road and flattened himself, and at the same time, a buzzing sound came suddenly, and a meter-long middle arrow pierced into the back of the Mishu along where Li Tai was just now, directly killing the Mite, and the trembling arrow cluster was still swinging.

"Yan Chang made you crazy? Uh, enemy attack! Call me back! Rubbing his red nose with a nosebleed, he roared loudly without waiting for Li Tai to finish complaining, he had made this fat man grow a little in Liaodong over the years, and instead of panicking, the Tang army that suddenly appeared on the city wall behind him roared and ordered a counterattack.

It's a pity that the light was busy looting, and the Liao army was scattered after all.

Whoosh ~ Whoosh ~ Long arrows shot back one after another, condescending, this suddenly appeared Tang Army one by one archery skills are actually stronger than the soldiers who just defended the city, and a strong arrow pierced into the throat of the Liao army carrying a leather shield and roaring back, under the ribs, legs and feet joints, and a large piece of the Liao army that rushed back within a few hundred meters died.

"Top for Lao Tzu, top up!" Round with a long knife, Li Tai was so angry that he even scolded Lao Tzu, but it was a pity that no matter how angry the lord was, he couldn't save the defeat, after all, in order to loot, the Liao army couldn't wait to rush to the city with two more feet, at this time the formation was scattered, and the fragmentary command was not good, so he could only fall under the bow and crossbow formation of the Tang army one by one.

"Protect the prince first!"

Yan Liang is still ruthless and wise enough, although I don't know how many such ambushes have come to the Tang army, but after all, the Liao soldiers who were imprisoned in the city are already at a disadvantage of catching turtles in the urn, and this is not the time for a battle of will.

Hundreds of Liao king's guards held a big shield to protect the chariot, like a turtle shell frantically rushed to the city gate, in an instant like a magnet stone attracted most of the firepower on the city wall, the sound of the clattering arrows piercing into the shield was like rain hitting lotus leaves, the shaking shield continued to expose the cracks, the tricky arrows continued to pierce the cracks to harvest the heads, along the way the turtle continued to shrink, but the carriage still unswervingly rushed to the city wall.

The ambush Tang army came in a hurry, and it was too late to take over the city gate, under the protection of more than a dozen Liao troops who finally held the city gate, the tortoiseshell array could be regarded as a lingering rush out of Suiyang, but at this time, two large clay pots were suddenly thrown down on the city gate, and then it was a torch.

Boom~ The fire burned up, even the Liao army guards were flesh and blood, and the remnants of the dozens of people wrapped in the flames screamed and threw down their shields and rolled all over the ground, and even the protected carriage was burned to the ground.

Taking this opportunity, dozens of Liao army armors followed by the shadow of the tortoiseshell array also fled out of the city in a panic, and one of the fat armor soldiers was tied into a dumpling by an ill-fitting infantry armor, and he ran with great effort......

Busy dealing with the main general of the tortoiseshell, the Liao soldiers in the city also took advantage of this firepower weakness to approach the city wall, and killed them along the stairs of the city gate, and finally let the Tang army ambush on the city wall stop shooting and was busy resisting.

Panting like a cow and running back to the Liao soldiers' main formation, Li Tai was really angry, especially when he looked back at the gorgeous chariot that belonged to him and the fire guards who fell to the ground and rolled, Li Tai was chilled in his heart again, and before he could even his breath, he was already standing on another chariot and waving his sword like thunder and roaring: "Kill Lonely, kill and kill, don't leave chickens and dogs!" ”

150,000 Liao soldiers were pulled by Li Tai to fight Suiyang, but more than 50,000, and the siege of the city was only 10,000, seeing his own dizziness, stunned to see the rest of the army generals and captains who had been lively for a long time and hurriedly waved their troops forward, like a tide, the black and oppressive Liao soldiers once again rushed to the small Suiyang City, seeing that Suiyang was about to be crushed into a sea of blood hell under the internal and external attack, and the left flank of the Liao army was suddenly screaming with cannons, and a big banner was killed violently, The galloping cavalry directly cut the Liao army formation in half!

"It's Li Ji, it's Li Ji!" Staying on the chariot, watching the long-bearded fluttering and fluttering personally rushing into battle to kill the veteran Li Tai who turned people on his back and turned over his horse, Yan Liang, who finally gasped for breath, was more realistic, and before Li Ji rushed over, the reins of the horse that snatched the royal hand had already pulled the chariot and turned around, while shouting: "Protect Your Highness, the whole army retreats!" ”

Dragging the banner of Liaodong, the banner soldiers of this formation fled backwards in a panic, seeing that the handsome banner was no longer there, and the more than 40,000 Liao soldiers who were stirred up by the cavalry were also disrupted, and a nest of crazy ran backwards.

The defeat is like a mountain!.
