Chapter 13 World Rankings
"Your Highness, don't go out of the city at will!" Guo Shiheng hurriedly stopped him.
"You coward, even the Tang Army patrol is afraid!"
Wang Jundu scolded him fiercely, turned around and ran towards the city, concentrated the army, he turned over and shouted, "Open the city!" ”
The city gate opened, Wang Jundu led two thousand troops to run out of the city, Guo Shiheng couldn't shout, he had to watch him rush out of the city, he followed Wang Shichong to fight in the south and the north, has a lot of combat experience, intuition tells that these two hundred patrol troops are very likely to be fraudulent, but he doesn't know what the problem is? There was no main enemy force in sight.
Guo Shiheng once again looked at the two hundred Tang army patrol posts, this time he deliberately paid attention to the person who wore the golden helmet, the golden helmet can only be worn by the commander or the king or above on the battlefield, is this really the Tang Dynasty clan? Guo Shiheng saw that the golden helmet had turned over and got on the horse, holding a pair of thunder hammers, as big as a bucket, weighing at least two hundred catties, this pair of hammers made him gasp, who is this?
A general next to him exclaimed: "Could it be that this person is Li Xuanba, the world's number one fierce general?" ”
Guo Shiheng was also stunned, if this was really the case, Wang Jundu was in danger, but at this time, Wang Jundu had already rushed out of the city, shouting that it was too late for him, Guo Shiheng stomped his feet with hatred, turned around and shouted: "The whole army is out of the city!" ”
If the king of Yue has three long and two short, he is difficult to explain, he only left 500 people to defend the city, and personally led 1,500 troops to rush out of the city to meet Wang Jundu.
Outside the city, Li Xuanba, the king of Zhao, held a double hammer in his hand, with a proud face, he did not take the two thousand people who rushed up to heart, for him, these two thousand people are two thousand ants.
Li Xuanba's war horse is also extraordinarily majestic, with strong limbs, one head taller than ordinary war horses, and its whole body is pitch black, called 'Black Wind Horse', it is a Dawan horse from the far west, which was purchased by Li Shimin from a Sogdian merchant for 100 gold, and only this horse can withstand Li Xuanba's weight and his sledgehammer.
Li Xuanba's eyes looked coldly at the oncoming enemy general. Although he was born mentally retarded, when he went to the battlefield, that kind of unique martial artist talent was brought into play, just like a precise scanning machine, and he knew the combat effectiveness of the enemy general Wang Jundu.
Make a long iron halberd, weighing about seventy pounds, more than six feet tall, from the posture of holding the halberd in his hand. It was obvious that he had not worked hard enough. The halberd method is not pure, it is just a few catties of clumsy strength, not a fierce general. is barely a good general, but the other party is the same as him, and he actually wears a golden helmet. It is estimated that the status is not low.
Li Xuanba snorted contemptuously and shouted, "Take your life!" With a wave of his hammer, he urged his horse forward to meet him, and his two hundred soldiers were all strong in martial arts, all of them could defeat ten with one, and they followed the shout, waving their weapons and rushing forward, although there were only two hundred cavalry. But the murderous spirit is sky-high and magnificent, like an army of thousands of horses.
At this time, Wei Chigong had heard the news that the defenders in the city were fighting, and he was overjoyed, and immediately led the army to cover the killing.
Li Xuanba's horse was extremely fast, and he rushed to Wang Jundu in an instant and shouted. A head-on hammer was smashed at him, and a wind sound sounded, and Wang Jundu saw that the sledgehammer was coming fiercely, and he also roared wildly, raising an iron halberd to meet him. 'When! There was a screeching sound, and the iron halberd flew away. Wang Jundu was shocked and dislocated his arms, and shouted, "Not good!" ”
Turning the horse's head and fleeing, Li Xuanba's second hammer smashed like a shadow, and smashed on the back of Wang Jundu's head, Wang Jundu's head immediately burst into pulp, was smashed to pieces, and the dead body fell off the horse.
Li Xuanba looked up to the sky like Lei Gong and laughed wildly, wielded a sledgehammer and killed the enemy group, a pair of sledgehammers flew up and down, next to each other and died, and killed groups of soldiers with broken bones and tendons, dead bodies all over the field, his two hundred personal soldiers were like wolves and tigers, following Li Xuanba to kill in the enemy army, invincible, Wang Shichong's army was killed and wailed, scattered and fled.
At this time, Guo Shiheng led reinforcements to kill, but a soldier pointed behind and shouted: "General, the Tang army is coming from the rear!" ”
As soon as Guo Shiheng turned around, he saw thousands of Tang Army cavalry horses galloping over, seeing that he was about to kill at the city gate, Guo Shiheng was taken aback, and it was too late to rush back, "This idiot! He was so angry that he shouted and cursed, Wang Jundu's stupidity killed the whole army, and at this time, a general fled back with hundreds of defeated troops, and reported in horror: "General Guo, the king of Yue has been killed by the enemy general!" What are we going to do? ”
Guo Shiheng knew that the general trend was gone, so he turned his horse's head and fled northeast, and more than a thousand defeated soldiers followed him desperately and fled, and gradually, fled the battlefield.
The five hundred defenders of Sanyuan City saw that the king of Yue was dead, and the deputy general fled, and they had no way out, so they had to open the city and surrender, and Wei Chigong led the army into Sanyuan City
Two days later, Li Shimin led the main force of 80,000 Tang troops to Sanyuan City, while the eldest grandson Wuji left 2,000 soldiers to guard the pass after capturing Hangu Pass, and he led 8,000 soldiers to the east to join the main force of the Tang army in Sanyuan City.
Guarded by hundreds of soldiers, Li Shimin rode on horseback to inspect the sub-city of Luoyang, which was completely a military city, there were no dwellings in it, the circumference of the city was about 12 miles, and it belonged to a small county in terms of scale, but because it was a military fortress, the city wall was built extremely tall and strong, and this city made Li Shimin very satisfied.
Wei Chigong smiled beside him: "Does Your Highness plan to treat it as a heavy city of grain and grass?" ”
Li Shimin nodded, "This military city is very close to Luoyang, and it is a fortress-style castle, which is very suitable for logistics, so I decided to set up a logistics center here!" ”
After a pause, Li Shimin said to Wei Chi Gong in a slightly reproachful tone: "Although the siege strategy is good this time, it is a bit risky, especially with King Zhao, once there is any mistake, it is difficult for me to explain to my father, next time General Wei Chi should not be so careless." ”
Li Shimin had already listened to Wei Chigong's report, although Wei Chigong did not say it explicitly, but Li Shimin could hear that Wei Chigong was using Li Xuanba's special status to lure the enemy general out of the city, not to mention that this strategy was somewhat fluke, but using the third brother Li Xuanba as bait made Li Shimin more or less dissatisfied.
A cold sweat broke out on Wei Chigong's forehead, and he hurriedly bowed down and said: "It's a carelessness, King Zhao has always asked him to give him a chance, I think it's almost Luoyang, if you don't give him this chance, it will be a dishonest ...... Remember that you will never make the same mistake again. ”
"Just remember, he's a little stupid and can't see the enemy's plans, so you can't let him fight alone in the future."
Li Shimin patted Wei Chigong on the shoulder, no longer blamed him, and urged him to come to Li Xuanba's side, Li Shimin smiled slightly: "Third brother, did you enjoy this battle today?" ”
"Not at all!"
Li Xuanba's face was full of unhappiness, "That is so king, it's just too common, it's not as good as Shi Danai, second brother, when will you find me an opponent, the eldest grandson promised me last time in Yanmen County, saying that he would arrange for me to fight with Yang Yuanqing, but the result was to coax me, I can remember it for him!" ”
Only then did Li Shimin understand that the third brother was a little ignorant of the eldest grandson Wuji, and it turned out that he was angry about the incident in Yanmen County more than two years ago, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and comforted Li Xuan's domineering: "Brother Wuji is not coaxing you, it's really because Yang Yuanqing's identity is not ordinary, he is now the king of Chu of the Great Sui, the king of a country, just like his father, when do you think my father will personally go into battle and compete with others?" ”
After a while, Li Xuanba said angrily: "If Yang Yuanqing can't compete with me, then what about Luo Shixin!" I heard my brother-in-law say that Luo Shixin is the first general of the Five Tigers of the Sui Dynasty, he can always do it! ”
"Don't worry! If we encounter Luo Shixin, I will definitely arrange for you to fight. ”
Li Xuanba was overjoyed, "Second brother, don't coax me like the eldest grandson!" ”
Li Shimin smiled and said, "When did the second brother coax you?" ”……
In the Luoyang Palace, Guo Shiheng knelt in front of the jade steps, and weptly told Wang Shichong what happened at that time, "There is a feeling of humiliation, two hundred cavalry blatantly came to investigate, there must be a problem, but the king of Yue refused to listen to my advice, and insisted on leading troops out of the city to meet the battle, but encountered Li Xuanba, the first fierce general of the Tang Dynasty, was killed by a hammer, and led the army out of the city to rescue, but encountered an ambush by the Tang army, and the back road was cut off, so he had no choice but to abandon the city and flee back, and he was willing to accept His Majesty's punishment!" ”
Wang Shichong stood on the jade steps with his hands in his hands, his back to Guo Shiheng, his eyes flashed with fierce light, he was frustrated in the first battle, which would affect his morale, he couldn't wait to slaughter Guo Shiheng with a knife, and he actually had the face to escape back.
But in the end, he was helpless, he also knew in his heart that Guo Shiheng could not be blamed for this matter, knowing that King Yue was stupid, and handing over the military power to him, this is his Wang Shichong's employment problem, if Guo Shiheng is punished in this matter, it will cause dissatisfaction among the generals, and Wang Shichong can only hold this anger in his heart.
After a while, Wang Shichong sighed and said: "General Guo, King Yue has always been a simple-minded person, and his plan to provoke the Tang Army is also expected, you get up!" I don't blame you for this. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Guo Shiheng was grateful, stood up and gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, the revenge of King Yue's tragic killing, the humble position will definitely be avenged, and the humble position will definitely kill Li Xuanba." ”
"General Guo, since Li Xuanba is known as the number one fierce general in the world, he must have real skills, and if he dies in his hands, King Yue is not wronged, I am just a little curious, so can Li Xuanba's martial arts really suppress Yuwen Chengdu?"
"Your Majesty, it is indeed very powerful, a hammer will shake the iron halberd of King Yue more than ten zhang away, the humble position is unheard of, Yuwen Chengdu is not comparable to him, and Yang Yuanqing is not his opponent."
Next to him, Wang Ren stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's a bit exaggerated, Li Xuanba's martial arts may indeed be very powerful, so that the two hundred and forty pounds of sledgehammer and Yuwen Chengdu are at most between the best, but if he surpasses Yang Yuanqing, the minister feels unrealistic, Yang Yuanqing's archery is unparalleled in the world, even Yuwen Chengdu has said that if he fights against Yang Yuanqing, he will die under Yang Yuanqing's arrow, can Li Xuanba dodge Yang Yuanqing's iron arrow?" ”
Several generals were whispering, but Wang Shichong said lightly: "This is just a boring ranking of the Tang people, Li Xuanba is just a slightly brave bird, how can he be worthy of being higher than a red eagle like Yang Yuanqing, ranking Yang Yuanqing third, I'm afraid even his son Li Yuan doesn't have such a thick skin." ”……
