Chapter 715 Huayin Goes to War
In the fourth year of Emperor Tai of the Great Sui Dynasty and the second year of Wude of the Tang Dynasty, as Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Rebellion, he killed his brother and killed his brother and seized the right to inherit the throne. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info and the Great Sui Liang Wang Wanhe, who was guarding Luoyang, took advantage of the undecided rebellion of the Tang Dynasty and sent troops to Chang'an! For a while, the world was shocked, whether it was Wan He or Li Shimin, what they represented were the two most powerful forces in the world! As long as anyone with a discerning eye understands that this battle is likely to determine who the future lord of the world will be! For a while, the whole world seemed to have become stable in order to cooperate with this battle, and everyone focused on the battlefield of this battle!
Huayin City, located behind Tongguan, was originally just a small city, but with more than half a year ago, the Tongguan guard Qu Tutong rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, and Wan He was even more cheap, and destroyed Tongguan easily! Without the cover of Tongguan, Huayin City was pushed to the top of the wind, and Yin Kaishan, a veteran of the Tang Dynasty who originally guarded Weicheng, led the army to enter Huayin to defend this pass for the Tang Dynasty! And with the large-scale invasion of the Liang army, Huayin City has become the focus of the eyes of the world!
Outside Huayin City, the Liang army, which had arrived in Huayin City in three days, waited until today before starting to send troops and lined up outside Huayin City! First of all, outside the Huayin City, the 150,000 troops were neatly arrayed and fully armed, but the dark armor could not hide the raging flames of war among the soldiers of the Liang army! In the military array, hundreds of military flags fluttered in the wind, and the most conspicuous of them was the big "Sui" military flag at the front of the military array! This Great Sui military flag represents the identity of the Liang army, and they are the only orthodox Great Sui among all the princes and powers in the world! Although the Great Sui has only been established for two generations, and in the past ten years, Yang Guang has made the world angry and resentful, but this cannot erase the orthodox identity of the Great Sui is now the world! A year ago, although Li Yuan ascended the throne and did enough foreplay, it couldn't change the fact that he was a rebellious minister and thief who plotted to usurp the throne of the Great Sui! At least in this respect, the morale of the Tang army is so low!
Under the banner of the Great Sui Army, lined up are the generals of the Liang Army, among which the horse is stationed in the center, which is naturally the commander of the Liang Army this time, Li Jing, the first general under the account of Wanhe! On Li Jing's left hand side, there is Sima Liu Wenjing, who assists Li Jing, followed by the generals Cheng Yanjin, Lai Quan, Lai Hong, and Zhao Renji in the army, and on Li Jing's right hand side, it is the general Sun Heng'an, Pei Xingyan, Xue Wanche, and Wang Le! Although only Li Jing, Cheng Yanjin, Changsun Hengan and Pei Xingyan were named by Wan He, it was obviously impossible for these four people to command so many soldiers and horses on such a large scale, so before leaving, five more people were added: Lai Hong, Lai Quan, Zhao Renji, Xue Wanche and Wang Le.
With so many generals, the Liang army that went to Chang'an this time can be said to be star-studded, which also shows Wanhe's determination to attack Chang'an this time! Not only that, this attack on Huayin, is the first battle of Chang'an, in order to win, Li Jing deliberately prepared in the camp for a full three days before sending troops to attack the city, these three days, Li Jing ordered the army to build countless siege equipment, just the catapult is lined up in the military array, there are half a hundred! Others, such as rushing cars, ladders and so on, are even more incredible! With the 150,000 army, the military array attacking Huayin this time is simply terrifying!
In contrast, looking at the head of Huayin City, rows of defenders and soldiers also blocked the head of the city tightly. Obviously, the veteran Yin Kaishan, who has already been prepared, will not fight that unprepared battle! There are more than 50,000 soldiers and horses from the Tang Dynasty transferred from Chang'an! At the head of the city, Yin Kaishan and his son Yin Jiao stood proudly in the center of the city, and there were countless generals behind them, including Liu Hongji, Duan Zhixuan, Wei Chigong, Gongsun Wuda, and Dugu Yanyun, the first general of the Li family, and Li Xiaogong, the first person of the younger generation of the Li family! It can be said that the generals on the defending side are not inferior to the Liang army outside the city! At the head of the city, although there are a little less catapults and ballistas, there is the support of the city wall, coupled with the death-defying gaze of the defenders, it is obvious that it is not so easy for the Liang army to capture this city!
Looking at the Liang army outside the city, Li Xiaogong's eyes were full of battle intent, and he couldn't help but ask Yin Kaishan in front of him: "Old General Yin!" Why don't you go out of the city to fight the enemy? The strength of our army is not bad, if we defend the city like this, there will still be a loss to the morale of the soldiers! ”
"Filial piety!" As soon as Li Xiaogong's words came out, Li Shentong, who was beside Li Xiaogong, immediately snorted, glared at him with an unkind face, and shouted: "Now the commander of the defenders of Huayin City is the old general Yin!" How can you question the decisions he made? Don't apologize to General Yin yet! ”
Li Shentong is a child of the Li family, and now he can be regarded as a relative of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. And although Li Xiaogong is also a disciple of the Li family, he is a cut short of Li Shentong in terms of seniority, not to mention, he is still Li Shentong's apprentice, listening to Li Shentong's words, Li Xiaogong immediately shrunk his neck, and without saying a word, he just bowed to Yin Kaishan and shouted: "The last general is rude, please punish the old general Yin!" ”
Seeing that Li Xiaogong really saluted himself, of course Yin Kaishan would not put up a fight, he immediately smiled and gave Li Xiaogong a false support, and then said to Li Shentong: "Your Royal Highness the King of the County, don't say that!" Although His Majesty values the old man and appoints the old man as the commander of the army, everyone is serving the Tang Dynasty, so why pay attention to these false courtesies? There is nothing rude about what the little county king asked, but he just asked the doubts in his heart, and it didn't matter if the old man answered the words of the little county king! ”
After Li Yuan ascended the throne, he named Li Shentong as the king of Yongkang and Li Xiaogong as the king of Xi'an. However, Yin Kaishan is also a hero of the Tang Dynasty, and he is a veteran of the battlefield, so there is no problem for him to call Li Xiaogong so. Immediately, Yin Kaishan turned his head to look outside the city, and said in a deep voice: "Although our army is fully prepared, why is the Liang army outside the city unprepared?" That Li Jing is known as a victorious general, and since he went to the battlefield that year, he has never heard of him defeating! It can be seen that this person is powerful! ”
Yin Kaishan vigorously praised the enemy general Li Jing at the beginning, although it was a bit of a blow to everyone's morale, but Li Jing's record made them unable to pick out the thorn at all! Among everyone, even the most arrogant Li Xiaogong had to admit that Li Jing was indeed a general worthy of Yin Kaishan's praise! Immediately, Yin Kaishan continued: "Li Jing, who is so powerful, has been preparing outside the city for three days in order to attack Huayin, which shows that the Liang army outside the city is definitely not simple!" No matter how well prepared our army is, it is still greatly insufficient in terms of troops! 50,000 soldiers and horses to deal with the enemy's 150,000 army, if out of the city to fight, our army has no city walls to rely on, it is already at a disadvantage! What's more, among the Liang army, there are countless people who can fight well! Then Li Jing needless to say, Cheng Yanjin, Pei Xingyan, Xue Wanche and the brothers who came to the family are all masters! He is also the eldest grandson Heng'an's unparalleled arrow! It's too dangerous for us to go out of the city to fight the Liang army! ”
Hearing Yin Kaishan's words, the generals behind Yin Kaishan were a little ugly. Previously, they had to admit Li Jing's achievements, but after all, they were all people who practiced martial arts, as the so-called Wen Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Especially Li Xiaogong, after hearing Pei Xingyan's name read out from Yin Kaishankou, his face became very ugly! Back then in Taiyuan, it was this Pei Xingyan who shot and seriously injured himself, and was even captured by Wan He, and finally caused Li Yuan to be defrauded of 300,000 taels of gold by Wan He! This incident was regarded by Li Xiaogong as a great shame in his life! Now that he saw this enemy appear again, Li Xiaogong gritted his teeth with even more hatred, and he couldn't wait to jump off the city immediately and go to find Pei Xingyan to take revenge!
On the other side, the faces of several generals in Tiance Mansion are not good, except for Liu Hongji and Duan Zhixuan, who have taught the Liang army fierce generals back then, Gongsun Wuda, Dugu Yanyun, and Wei Chi Gong, they are all masters with eyes above the top, especially that Wei Chi Gong! When he was under Liu Wuzhou's account before, he was already recognized as the number one warrior under Liu Wuzhou! Later, he was captured by Li Shimin, and after surrendering to Li Shimin, he was even more respected by Li Shimin! In the previous change of Xuanwu Gate, Wei Chigong killed Li Yuanji, Yang Wengan and Yu Wenbao in succession, and he also made miraculous achievements, and now he seems to have surpassed Liu Hongji and become the first general of Tiance Mansion!
Wei Chigong was also very unconvinced when he heard that Yin Kaishan admired the other party's generals so much, his mouth was pursed, and the beard on his face immediately wrinkled together, and he said with disdain: "Old General Yin!" When I was in Taiyuan before, I had heard of Li Jing's name! I know that Li Jing is very good at fighting! But I have never heard of the rest of them, is there so many masters in this world? And all the fucking gathered in the Liang army? It's unlikely, right? ”
This Wei Chigong has been a general under Liu Wuzhou's account before, and Liu Wuzhou has many righteous men in the rivers and lakes and heroes in the green forest, these people are rude and rude, Wei Chigong has been under Liu Wuzhou's account for a long time, and of course he has become full of foul language. After a long time, it was difficult to change, and after a few words with Yin Kaishan, a foul sentence came out, and Yin Jiao next to Yin Kaishan was very unhappy, his brows were furrowed, and he was about to open his mouth to scold, but he was stopped by Yin Kaishan. Yin Kaishan smiled and said to Wei Chi Gong: "General Wei Chi! There are many talented people in this world! Moreover, under the banner of the Great Sui, Wan He has recruited many righteous people who are interested in the Great Sui, and it is normal to have so many masters to help! As for the lack of reputation of these people, it is also because General Wei Chi has been in the north for a long time and has never heard of it! But please believe the old man! These people are absolutely skilled, and they should not be taken lightly! ”
