Chapter 600: The Lonely City of Luoyang
"You're rebelling! Quick, quick, kill them. Wei Ying never thought that the guy who was like a grandson on weekdays, and the guy who allowed himself to bully, was bold enough to attack him at the moment. Moreover, at the critical moment of Li Jing's army's attack, at this moment, the sound of killing shook the sky, whether it was in the east of the city or in the west of the city, there was a fight.
The east of the city is caused by dozens of people such as Tian Da and Kitten, while the west of the city is Pei Yuanqing and others attacking, but the Tiger Prison Pass itself is not big, and the fight between the two sides can be seen clearly, if it was before, maybe it could be properly resettled, and the troops were used reasonably, but on the other side was the internal struggle of the Zheng army, Wei Ying, this guy deducted too much bounty, and the soldiers were very resentful.
There was a great chaos in the city, and more importantly, it was a blow to the morale of the army, which was the most important thing. The strongest fortresses can also be broken through from within, as was the case with the fighting on the eastern wall.
The whole Tiger Prison Pass was in chaos, Wei Bao woke up from the flowers, he commanded his own soldiers, out of his own yamen, just looked at the situation in the Tiger Prison Pass, his face suddenly changed, he didn't know how to be good, how to face this situation, whether to support Dongcheng or Xicheng.
"Quick, attack." Tiger Prison Pass West City, Pei Yuanqing brothers also felt that Tiger Prison Pass was not quite right, and the resistance on the city wall did not seem to be very strong, and while they were happy, there was also a trace of worry, because the battle at Ximen made the two brothers think of Li Shimin's soldiers and horses, I am afraid that they are also going to attack Tiger Prison Pass at this time.
"Quick, quick." Pei Xingjian also obviously discovered this problem, and hurriedly ordered someone to carry the siege ladder, preparing to forcibly attack the Tiger Prison Pass. At this time, time is of the essence. If Li Shimin is really allowed to occupy the Tiger Prison Pass, then a sharp knife has been inserted into Li Xin's henchmen, and the attack on Wang Shichong will definitely be affected.
"Wei Ying was killed." At this time, there was a sudden roar in the sky above the tiger prison, the sound was very loud, of course, more cheers.
"Follow me." Pei Yuanqing was pleasantly surprised. Without thinking about it, he waved the bright silver hammer in his hand, pulled down the soldiers in front of the siege ladder, and rushed to the tiger prison with three steps and two steps. The simple thing is that when the Tiger Prison Pass was built, as long as it was defending the direction of Kanto, it was against the enemy in Kanto, and the height of the West City was significantly lower than that of the East City. Because of Wei Ying's killing, the city fell into chaos in a short time, and Pei Xingjian under the city commanded the army to cover Pei Yuanqing.
Pei Yuanqing quickly killed the city, and the bright silver hammer in his hand was waved continuously, and he killed a piece of heaven and earth on the city, and the Guanzhong army behind him also followed, and soon occupied the west city.
"Quick, rush forward." With Pei Yuanqing opening up the situation in the city. The soldiers in Guanzhong rushed forward one after another, and the morale of the soldiers in Xicheng collapsed in an instant. How powerful Pei Yuanqing's martial arts are, who dares to resist it, some soldiers have already knelt on the ground, Xicheng was lost in an instant, and with the opening of the city gate, Pei Xingjian's army entered the city.
Outside the Tiger Prison. A few miles away, Xu Shiji led an army of 10,000 people to kill the Tiger Prison at a rapid pace. The wolf smoke rises above the tiger prison,
"It must be that Li Jing also discovered the importance of the Tiger Prison Pass, so he will send someone to seize it." Xu Shiji quickly understood everything that happened in the Tiger Prison Pass, and what he could think of. Li Jing must have been able to think of it, but it was simply that the Tiger Prison Pass was extremely strong and occupied a dangerous place, so he didn't let Li Jing attack it so quickly, and this was just his chance.
All of a sudden, Xu Shiji thought very clearly about the situation of the Tiger Prison Pass, and the soldiers and horses under his command did not dare to slack off, and ordered the soldiers to quickly rush towards the Tiger Prison Pass.
It's a pity that Xu Shiji didn't know what happened on the Tiger Prison Pass, the first to attack was not the Pei Yuanqing brothers, but Tian Da, these extremely ordinary people, these people's rebellion made Pei Yuanqing find an opportunity, and launched an attack on the Tiger Prison Pass without hesitation, but he had already captured the West City in half an hour, and now he has killed the East City.
"You are Wei Bao?" Pei Yuanqing was covered in blood, holding a bright silver hammer in his hand and looking at Wei Bao who was kneeling on the ground, there was a trace of disdain in the depths of his eyes, the army in Guanzhong would rather die in battle than surrender, and only Wang Shichong's army would be so incompetent.
"It's the villain." Wei Bao hurriedly said: "The villain is willing to submit to the prime minister, and he also asks the general to spare his life." ”
"Your uncle is Wei Lu, the guard general of Xingyang?" Pei Yuanqing was about to answer, and Pei Xingjian said on the side. Pei Yuanqing immediately took back the words in his mouth, he knew that his brother was not his opponent, but in terms of wisdom, he was not his brother's opponent. So stand aside and let Pei Xingjian play.
"Exactly, exactly." Wei Bao's eyes lit up when he heard this. The worry in his heart suddenly fell, as long as he had use value, he must not be in danger of his life.
"Since you are obedient, don't let people surrender quickly." Pei Yuanqing said dissatisfiedly.
"Yes, yes." Wei Bao nodded again and again, and hurriedly ordered someone to pass down the order, and the people who were fighting surrendered one after another, even Tian Da and the others also laid down their weapons as soon as they saw the arrival of Pei Yuanqing's banner in the distance.
"You're Tian Da? Are you the kitten? Pei Yuanqing looked at the two men standing in front of him, his face showed a look of satisfaction, he took out an ingot of gold from his body, handed it to Tian Da and said: "It's a filial son, first settle your mother, and then come to our army to report, the prime minister needs a warrior like you." As for the others, the previous salaries were made up by the imperial court, and from today, you can all receive the same salaries as the soldiers in Guanzhong. ”
"The villain thanked the general." Tian Da's voice choked, and he knelt on the ground and said loudly. And the rest of the people fell to their knees, weeping with joy and shouting of joy from their mouths, and their heads hung on their waists, for money.
"There's an enemy coming."
This side has just been dealt with, and when Pei Yuanqing was about to order someone to raise the Great Sui banner, suddenly Pei Xingjian looked at the distance and said in a low voice: "It seems that not only our family noticed that the tiger prison was closed, but also one family. It's a pity that they were late. ”
Wei Bao's body trembled, his body was flustered, he didn't expect that he was alive on the volcano just now, even if he repelled Pei Yuanqing just now, I am afraid that this side will be defeated by the enemy who is attacking now. If you follow Pei Yuanqing, you can still save a life, but if you follow others, you don't know.
"It should be Xu Shiji." Pei Xingjian looked at the flags coming from afar, and said to Pei Yuanqing in a low voice: "There should be about 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the momentum is huge!" ”
"Huh, 10,000? Don't say it's 10,000 people, and no 100,000 people have the idea of winning the Tiger Prison Pass, isn't this Xu Shiji too arrogant. Pei Yuanqing said indifferently. Pei Yuanqing is not only very sure of his army, but more importantly, he has occupied a fortress like Tiger Pass, so that Pei Yuanqing is qualified to say such things.
Xu Shiji saw the blood on the city, although the battle was over, there was still a trace of clues on the city, Xu Shiji could see it clearly, but there was still a trace of luck in his heart.
"Which general is on duty, under Xu Shiji, he came to the rescue of Luoyang on the order of the King of Qin, and asked the general to open the city gate." Xu Shiji's voice rang out, and the soldiers behind him also stood neatly, and a murderous aura instantly rushed into the sky, Pei Yuanqing and Pei Xingjian looked at the army in the distance. It is said that Li Shimin is strict in governing the army, and today it can be seen from Xu Shiji.
"Haha, General Xu Shiji, I'm afraid you're late, under Pei Yuanqing's order to take the tiger prison for a long time." Pei Yuanqing easily threw down the Zhengguo flag in his hand and laughed.
"Pei Yuanqing?" Xu Shiji's face was gloomy, he hurried and hurried, he was still late, the Tiger Prison Pass had been occupied by Pei Yuanqing, no matter how many people there were on the other side, he had no chance, the Tiger Prison Pass was a famous fortress in the world, and his 10,000 troops could not shake Pei Yuanqing's defense at all, not to mention, Li Jing asked Pei Yuanqing to come, and he must have been ready.
"Withdraw." Xu Shiji looked at everything on the city tower, he didn't know how many soldiers and horses Pei Yuanqing had brought, and he didn't know if Pei Yuanqing's soldiers were tired after the battle just now, but he knew that he would definitely not be able to stay here, so he decisively ordered the army to retreat fifty miles, and while setting up a large camp, he ordered someone to send a message to Li Shimin, waiting for Li Shimin's arrival.
"It's a man of acquaintance." Pei Yuanqing looked at Xu Shiji's departing back and said with some disdain.
"He's also a tough guy to deal with." Pei Xingjian said on the side: "In this case, knowing that there is something to give, such a talent is the most difficult to deal with." If it weren't for the fact that our army had the advantage and Xu Shiji didn't know the reality of our army, we would have really met an opponent this time. If he occupies the Tiger Pass, I'm afraid we won't be able to deal with it either. ”
"It's a pity that the opponent he met was not us, but the prime minister, but the general." Pei Yuanqing said indifferently: "We have the general behind us, no matter how powerful Xu Shiji is, it is useless, now that we occupy the Tiger Prison Pass, Wang Shichong will completely lose foreign aid, and it will be a matter of time before the general takes Luoyang." The two of us brothers are guarding the Tiger Prison Pass here, and after day and night, I don't believe that Xu Shiji can break through the Tiger Prison Pass. ”
The loss of Tiger Prison Pass is of great importance, which indicates that Wang Shichong's only reinforcement is no longer able to reach Luoyang, and Luoyang has become a dead city. (To be continued......)
