Wang Junkuo has a proud and conceited personality, and one of the things he hates most in his life is that he has not been included in the top ten fierce generals in the world, and even his defeated general Shan Xiongxin has entered the top ten fierce, but he has no share, which makes Wang Junkuo always haunted.

Wang Junkuo is nicknamed 'Little Guan Yu', not only does he look like Guan Gongyun, lying silkworm eyebrows, Danfeng eyes, three wisps of green beard under the chin, making a green dragon glaive knife, more importantly, he is also excellent in swordsmanship, strong martial arts, defeated 36 Wagang generals on the first day of entering Wagang Village, and even Shan Xiongxin was defeated in his hands in front of everyone.

But the consequence of this is not that he is famous all over the world, but that he has offended many generals in Wagang, just like a new employee who is too arrogant and domineering when he enters the company, and does not put the old employees in his eyes, and even the vice president was scolded by him on the table.

Within a few days, Wang Junkuo was driven out of Wagang, and he was also infamous as a 'Taihang thief', and after many ups and downs, he finally joined Yang Yuanqing's men, and gradually began to have a future.

What makes Wang Junkuo most grateful is that Yang Yuanqing is a meritocracy, and he is promoted by military merit, although he is not popular in the army, he is still named the general of the right martial arts Hou Wei and the prince of Yongqiu County.

At this time, Wang Junkuo held back his strength, and he wanted to make great contributions before the unification of the world, and be promoted to the prince of the country, laying a rich foundation for his children and grandchildren.

Wang Junkuo led 5,000 cavalry to kill from the side, cutting off the retreat of 10,000 crossbow troops by the river, at this time he saw Li Changyuan, the main general of the Tang army, at a glance, he was overjoyed, a general can kill 10,000 enemies with a head.

Li Changyuan shouted violently, and the Xuanhua Mountain Axe slashed head-on, and a suffocating wind rushed to his face. The strength is strong and domineering, Wang Junkuo turned sideways on his horse, dodging a violent axe, but the long knife swung lightly, and the tip of the knife hooked the handle of the axe and swung outward, adding a little strength to the big axe.

This sudden increase in strength made Li Changyuan unable to control it, and he slashed the air with an axe. He lost his center of gravity a little on his horse, and a hole in his chest was exposed.

This momentary flaw was caught by Wang Junkuo, and the blade slashed diagonally. As fast as lightning, with a 'click', Li Changyuan's head flew out more than a foot away. Dead bodies fell to the ground.

Wang Junkuo laughed proudly, picked the tip of the knife, put the head on the knife, and shouted: "The enemy will be dead, and those who surrender will not be killed!" ”

How could 10,000 bows and crossbows be able to defeat 5,000 elite cavalry, the resisters were killed by the Sui cavalry back and forth, and more than 1,000 people were slaughtered in an instant, and as the lord was killed, the Tang army suddenly collapsed, and the soldiers surrendered on their knees. There was a mess in front of the defensive wall, with dead bodies and weapons piled up,

The Sui cavalry stopped killing and drove those who surrendered to the east.

The crossbow resistance on the dock disappeared, and large ships began to dock one after another. The soldiers of the Sui army disembarked in a formation and quickly assembled on the dock......

At the head of the city, Chai Shao stared at the Tang soldiers being killed by cavalry and surrendering in panic, his heart was full of helplessness, Chai Shao sighed lowly, he finally understood why King Qin was so sad about the loss of the Hexi Corridor.

The Don army lost its cavalry. Under the impact of the powerful cavalry of the Sui army, the infantry was really difficult to resist, without the assistance of the cavalry, and without the support of the transportation on the river, no matter how he deployed the army, it was difficult to escape this outcome.

Not only Chai Shao, but also tens of thousands of soldiers in the city, everyone's hearts were heavy, they saw with their own eyes the strength and invincibility of the Sui army's cavalry, and finally understood why the northern army was always stronger, the reason was that the cavalry, under the rapid impact of the fierce horse and horizontal sword, the infantry was really difficult to resist.

Seeing a group of soldiers walking down from the big ship, the infantry mixed with the cavalry, the military appearance was neat, and the momentum was mighty, just in this subtle moment, the minds of many Jingxiang generals began to change subtly.

Two hours later, in the east of Jiangling City, a large camp of the Sui army, which was about seven or eight miles long and two or three miles wide, appeared on the vast field, and tents were quickly erected, like mushrooms growing after a night of spring rain, covering the wilderness.

Yang Yuanqing's Chinese army tent has been set up, and his indispensable sand table has also been built, at this time the soldiers are still packing up the camp tent, but Yang Yuanqing is standing in front of the sand table thinking about the situation in Xiangyang, he is thinking about whether Xiangyang will come to reinforcements again.

Will Li Xiaogong make a desperate bet and concentrate his forces to fight the battle of Jiangling, after all, he is in Jiangling, once the battle of Jiangling is won, then the Tang army is likely to win the entire Jingxiang Campaign.

"Is Your Highness worried that Chai Shao will defend the city to the death, and the battle of Gangneung will drag on too long?" At some point, Xie Yingden appeared beside him.

Yang Yuanqing glanced at him, shook his head and smiled: "Doesn't he defend the city to the death, and still want him to open the city and surrender?" ”

Xie Yingdeng realized that there was a loophole in his words, as long as he could capture Jiangling City, Chai Shao couldn't delay it if he wanted to, but he ...... He was still a little worried, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

"What are you worried about?" Yang Yuanqing sensed his thoughts and asked with a slight smile.

Xie Yingden sighed and said, "Your Highness, I'm worried that we don't have enough troops to capture Jiangling City. ”

"Why do you think so?"

"Your Highness, although we have 15,000 elite cavalry, but it has no meaning for the siege, our main siege force is still 40,000 Xiao Liang army, the combat effectiveness is slightly weaker, while Chai Shao led 60,000 troops to defend the city, and tens of thousands of people to assist in the defense, frankly speaking, it is difficult for us to capture the city in the short term, if it drags on for a long time, I am worried that we can't afford to drag it out."

Yang Yuanqing smiled slightly, "When do I want to attack the city?" ”

Xie Yingdeng was stunned, he didn't understand what Yang Yuanqing meant, Yang Yuanqing said lightly: "It is difficult for those who do not seek the overall situation to seek a domain, Jingxiang is one, how can he keep his eyes on Jiangling City." ”

Xie Yingdeng was confused when he heard it, but Yang Yuanqing smiled meaningfully: "The key is still on the Sui army in Nanyang County." ”……

Among the counties in Henan Province, in addition to Luoyang, Yingchuan County and Liang County are the two most important, of which Liang County Taishou is served by Yang Yuanqing's henchman Xiao Jin, and Yingchuan County Taishou is served by the original Sui Chen Su Shichang.

Su Shi is about forty years old, outstanding literary talent, his family is also one of the Guan Longshi clan, there is Su Wei's nephew, Wang Shichong called the emperor when he served as the right servant, and later descended to the Sui Dynasty, was appointed as the Taishou of Yingchuan County.

Just when the battle of Jingxiang was in full swing, Su Shichang suddenly sent an urgent letter of help to Taiyuan, and Hao Xiaode, the leader of the original Wagangzhai bandits, rebelled again, gathered tens of thousands of people to occupy Daliu Mountain in Xiangcheng County, and was leading the bandits to kill Yingchuan County.

At the same time that Su Shichang sent a letter of help to Taiyuan, he also sent a warning letter to the surrounding counties, from Hongjun County to Dongjun, from Xingyang County to Nanyang County, the entire Central Plains received the alarm he issued.

This news shook the Central Plains and also shocked Taiyuan.

A few days later, Xu Shiji, who was stationed in Nanyang County, urgently dispatched troops and ordered the deputy general Gao Zikai to lead 30,000 troops to rescue Yingchuan County and suppress the rebellion of Hao Xiaode in Yingchuan County.

Xu Shiji felt that his troops were insufficient, so he withdrew his troops to the north of Nanyang County, which is why Xu Shiji left Xinye County and withdrew his troops to Nanyang County......

In Xiangyang City, several Tang army scouts rushed from the north and rushed to the city gate and shouted: "Open the city gate quickly, we have urgent information to report to His Royal Highness King Jing!" ”

A crack in the city gate opened, and several scout cavalry galloped into Xiangyang City and rushed towards the Xingtai Governor's Mansion.

Jingxiang Xingtai Governor's Mansion is located in the middle of Xiangyang, covers an area of more than 20 acres, consists of five or six large buildings, here is also the Jingwang Mansion, is the Tang Dynasty in the entire Jingxiang area of the military power center.

At this time, Li Xiaogong also began to comprehensively shrink his forces, and all the 25,000 troops of Anlu County and Chuyang County were recovered from Xiangyang City.

The battle has been fought so far, and the other Jingxiang places are not important, the key is the two core cities of Jiangling City and Xiangyang City, and the 150,000 troops of the Tang Army are stationed in these two cities.

The Sui army also concentrated its forces in Jiangxia City, Jiangling City, and Xinye County, Jiangxia City was their logistics center and had to be heavily guarded, Xinye County was to contain Xiangyang City, and the Sui army's campaign was focused on attacking Jiangling City.

In the council hall of the governor's mansion, Li Xiaogong was discussing the situation in front of him with several generals and advisers, and he had just received a message from Chai Shao about the battle situation in Gangneung City.

The Sui army had destroyed all the ships of the Tang army, and when they landed, the Tang soldiers were ambushed, losing 10,000 troops, and at the same time, Chai Shao also sent another definite news that Yang Yuanqing was in Jiangling City.

"Generals, there are not many Sui troops in Jiangling City now, only 65,000 people, but our troops in Jiangling City are 60,000, it is almost impossible to capture Jiangling City with the strength of the Sui army, I suspect that Yang Yuanqing wants to increase his troops in Jiangling, it is obvious that if it drags on, the situation in the north is gradually unfavorable to him."

Gao Shilian next to him frowned and asked, "What Your Highness said is the resurgence of the Central Plains Wagang bandits?" ”

Li Xiaogong nodded and said: "This is an urgent report from the imperial court, I heard that Hao Xiaode rebelled again, this person was originally the handsome man of Douzigang, if he rebelled again, it would not be surprising, after all, it is a good opportunity to rebel now, Su Shichang has issued a warning to the counties of the Central Plains, and I also got the news of the scouts, Xu Shiji of Nanyang County has secretly sent troops, I have sent scouts to verify again, if the situation is true, then the Central Plains is really in trouble." ”

At this time, Yang Gongren, who had been silent, said in a deep voice: "Your Highness means that we sent troops to support Jiangling City, is that what it means?" ”

He guessed Li Xiaogong's true thoughts, Li Xiaogong did not deny it, and sighed: "The key is that Yang Yuanqing is in Jiangling City, the stakes are very important, if we can win the battle of Jiangling City, then we can lay the victory of the entire Jingxiang Campaign, and we can reverse the decline of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Shangshu, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if we don't seize it, we may really hate it for eternity." ”

Yang Gongren was silent, he didn't approve very much, but he couldn't bear the serious consequences of Jing Xiang's defeat, so he could only be silent.

At this moment, there was a guard outside the door to report: "Your Highness, the scout of Nanyang County is here urgently!" ”…… (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
