Chapter 222: Xiongjin City Breaks

"Let's go!" Yang Shihou waved his hand, and the five thousand cavalry that had been prepared behind him quickly followed behind Yang Shihou.

Yang Shihou didn't pay attention to everything that happened along the way, he just led the cavalry to rush into the city gate, along the main road of Jinquan Pass, and rushed towards Xiongjin City. The defeated troops along the way will not pay attention to them unless they are blocked on the main road.

"General!" Xun Qianyong, who was waiting on the side of the main road, straightened his waist and shouted loudly.

"Keep going!" Yang Shihou pulled the war horse to the side of the main road and commanded in a loud voice.

drove the horse to Xun Qianyong, looked at Xun Qianyong, nodded with a little appreciation and said: "The general said that you are a general, and he is not wrong, although the command of this attack is still lacking in fire, but he already has a bit of a general's demeanor." Work hard and don't let down the general's expectations of you. Now I will personally lead the troops to raid Xiongjin City, and the rear army will be handed over to you! ”

"Yes!" Xun Qianyong didn't say it so impassionedly, just said a word. But Yang Shihou was very satisfied with Xun Qianyong's attitude, and he knew that Xun Qianyong's attitude was not that he was not serious about himself. And he, Xun Qianyong, is a pure soldier, and after the special training class of Youzhou Lecture Martial Arts Hall, Xun Qianyong has become more pure.

He will only go to complete the task, rarely question the task, and even if he does, he will only give an opinion, and will not disobey orders. This is the officer taught by Youzhou Lecture Martial Arts Hall, and this is also the result of Li Cunhuan's intention.

"Don't underestimate that Jin Lizhi, although his army is not good, he is still a little witty." After pondering for a moment, Yang Shihou said.

Speaking of this, after a pause, Yang Shihou's eyes continued with a solemn touch of deep meaning: "You should understand!" ”

"Yes! The last general will definitely complete the task assigned by the general! A trace of struggle flashed in Xun Qianyong's eyes, but it immediately turned into a firm gaze, and he met Yang Shihou's gaze without fear, and responded solemnly.

"Good!" Yang Shihou nodded appreciatively, and after a moment of silence, Yang Shihou hesitated and said, "Sometimes you might as well follow Wu Anjun's example. ”

"Is this a general's order?" Xun Qianyong hesitated for a moment, continued to look directly at Yang Shihou's gaze, and asked.

Yang Shihou shook his head lightly and said, "It's my opinion, and it's also an action made for the sake of the general's world." I hope you can understand that although these 50,000 people are not very good in equipment and combat effectiveness, they still have an advantage in numbers. That's enough for even me to scramble with troops. ”

"I know what to do! For the sake of the general, even if it is called a human slaughter, I will do it. Xun Qianyong looked at Yang Shihou with firm eyes, and said loudly.

"Good!" Yang Shihou nodded, turned the horse's head, and left only two words, and the man had already ridden away.

(Note: Wu Anjun is the title of Bai Qi, and the ancients called Bai Qi Wu Anjun in order to avoid fame.) Rentu is a white nickname. Bai Qi killed 760,000 levels in his life, which can be called a generation of killing gods. ）

I don't know why Ah Cilong suddenly felt that he had a bad premonition today, it was as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake hidden in the dark, and he didn't know when, the poisonous snake would give him a bite on his neck.

"Someone, prepare the horses! To the West Gate! Ah Cilong still decided to take a look, he didn't know why he was upset, could it be because of the news he had just received?

Although Hanyang City was breached, Ah Cilong knew that Li Cunhuan did not attack so quickly, and the army was not like the messenger. An army of tens of thousands is not just a matter of coordination, it needs to be recuperated. Therefore, Ah Cilong predicted that even if Li Cunhuan raised his troops as quickly as possible, it would take three days to reach Xiongjin City. But I don't know why I'm just restless. Ah Cilong thought suspiciously.

The war horse was quickly brought over, and although Ah Cilong was old, he was quite agile and turned over on his own. More than a dozen family warriors quickly rode their horses to protect Acilong in the center. Ah Ci Long is not only an important minister of Baekje, but also the patriarch of the Ah Ci Long family, and the safety of one person is related to the rise and fall of tens of thousands of people.

Running all the way, Ah Cilong had already come to the staircase of the west gate, Ah Cilong did not turn over and dismount as usual, and walked up to the city wall. Instead, he rode his horse all the way to the city wall, and then he restrained his horse and looked to the west.

"I wonder what happened to you this time?" After receiving the news of Ah Cilong's arrival, the general in charge of Ximen rushed to Ah Cilong's side and asked with a slight gasp.

"Is there anything out of the ordinary?" Ah Cilong looked at the general whose face was flushed because of the rush all the way, and asked slowly. There was a hint of nervousness in his tone that was hard to hide.

"No, after receiving the order of the adults to strengthen the monitoring today, all the people who enter and exit are under enhanced surveillance, and all the people who enter can only enter the city with a guarantee. Plus make sure that there are no weapons hidden before they are released. Moreover, the last general often observed, anyone with a Tang accent, even if the emperor's relatives were the guarantor, were not allowed to enter Xiongjin City. The general said with a little pride in his tone.

"That's it! If Li Cunhuan launched an attack, he would definitely launch it from here...... Hope ......" Ah Cilong said this, and suddenly stopped the words that were about to be exported, as if he had some concerns. After a moment of silence, he looked at General Simon, who was waiting on the side, and said, "Don't be lazy, pay attention to the situation." ”

After finishing speaking, he turned over and dismounted, and checked in person without worry, and the general couldn't help but cry out in his heart, it seems that he can't be lazy today. Helplessly, he followed Ah Cilong's footsteps with a bitter face.

"General! Twenty miles further is Xiongjin City, why don't you let the brothers rest! An officer suggested to Yang Shihou.

Yang Shihou pondered for a moment, looked back, and with a tired soldier on his face, he nodded and said, "Go to the forest in front of you to rest for half an hour, look for bamboo, and build siege ladders." When you arrive at Kumatsu Castle, immediately attack the city! ”

"Yes!" The officer answered categorically.

The five thousand cavalry quickly entered the woods, and as soon as they entered the woods, the soldiers did not bother to unsaddle their horses, turned over and dismounted, took out their felt and wrapped themselves around their bodies, fell to the ground and fell asleep. It doesn't seem to be ordinary fatigue, but no one complains of bitterness.

An hour later, Yang Shihou quickly opened his eyes and shouted, "Get up!" ”

The cavalry quickly stood up, stuffed the felt into the leather pouch of the saddle, but after a moment of effort, they turned over and got on their horses, took out the dried meat and water from the backpacks, and galloped on their horses while swallowing dates on the horseback, and quickly swallowed the dry food into their stomachs.

In addition, dozens of cavalry were in a group, each holding a siege ladder more than four zhang long, and the freshly built siege ladder still carried some fresh bamboo leaves that had not yet been cut.

Yang Shihou did not attack from the north gate, which was the closest to the road, but led the cavalry to quickly and covertly bypass the north gate and attack from the east gate. Because attention is focused on the west gate, the east gate does not have much garrison force at all. In fact, there is no problem with the distribution of Acilong's troops. Xiongjin Fortress is located on the west side of the Geumjin River and is protected by the Baekje Navy behind it. Moreover, Li Cunhuan came from the northwest, and it was correct to concentrate the troops that were not rich in the northwest.

As a result, the soldiers of Kumatsu Castle were taken by surprise, and they had no idea that the enemy would attack from this direction. The cavalry galloped quickly, came to the foot of the city wall, and swam across the moat against the rain of arrows that the Baekje army panicked and returned fire, and erected the siege ladder.

At that time, the east gate was only guarded by 500 people, and it was distributed on the three-mile-long city wall. When the Baekje army in the military camp near the city wall reacted, Yang Shihou had already led his troops to capture the city tower, rolled up the noose, raised the jack gate, cut the rope of the drawbridge, and lowered the drawbridge.

In the sound of horses' hooves like thunder, and the murderous shouts of killing, the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty entered Xiongjin City. The flag that symbolizes Baekje fell from the top of the city, and was trampled into rags by countless passing war horses with iron hooves, and the banner of the Tang Dynasty fluttered high.
