Huairong County. In the county hall in the city, the Sanskrit sound trembled, and more than a dozen monks faced the wall, chanting in their mouths.
"Your Majesty, Champion Hou, Champion Hou refused to negotiate peace, he said that he would not allow others to sleep soundly on the couch, and asked us to surrender today, otherwise we will meet each other."
The chanting stopped, and a monk stood up from it, clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha! It is a sin to be murderous. โ
A monk turned around and said: "I was a monk, because I couldn't bear to see the people of Li suffer from the officials, so I killed the officials and rebelled, this Li Chongjiu is a Sui general, but he colluded with the Hu people to lead the army into the Kou, I will defend this holy land of Jialan with the people of the Buddha country, pass on my decree, and fight the thieves outside the city." โ
"Khan, the enemy army is out of the city and lined up to meet it!"
Li Chongjiu heard Eto's announcement and saw that the two city gates of the east and west of the other party were really wide open, and a column of soldiers rushed out of the city gate to set up a formation. I saw that under the city wall, the armor was like silver, and the streamer flickered, and the reflection of the sun was shining. It was actually an ironclad torrent.
Seeing this scene, Li Chongjiu's subordinates present were all dumbfounded. "There are more than two-thirds of the opponent's armored soldiers! Rare, rare! โ
"Of course, most of the people who talked about the saint were the officers and soldiers of Huairong County, and after the county order and Ying Yanglang were killed, they all descended to the saint. Therefore, all of them were the original regular border troops of the Great Sui. โ
"I'm afraid it's the Great Sui Border Army, and there aren't so many iron armors!" Ying Hefu showed a look of envy, and his eyes were glued to the iron armor, as if he had seen some stunning beauty.
"Not only the enemy is ironarmed, but there are also ballistas on the city!" After seeing the power of the ballista in Yuyi Town, Eto was greatly worried about such sharp weapons.
Suddenly, at this time, the opposite conch sounded in unison, and thirty-three monks and soldiers wearing robes at the central gate held iron pestles, and surrounded a Dharma driver, and above the Dharma drive was a monk in his thirties wearing a red robe, which was obviously talking about sainthood. As soon as this person came out, the soldiers around him called Amitabha Buddha one after another, and there were twenty twenty-eight girls on the side of the Fa driver, dressed in fresh clothes and sprinkled with fragrant flowers all over the sky, and the so-called sky was exactly like this.
At this moment, Gao Tan Mahatma sat in the car with a whisk, pointed at the other party with a whisk, and said: "How, can you see that our army is afraid?" โ
This scene couldn't help but make the Hu army lords and the building owners present laugh, and Ying Hefu said directly: "I have never heard of such a war." โ
"Khan, how about this high-minded saint?" Eto asked.
"A monk, who has never led a soldier." Li Chongjiu said dryly.
"That's good, this iron armor and ballista are all ours." Eto stroked his hands and laughed. And Ying Hefu has secretly ordered to go down, and he will not be beheaded for a while, and he will take the credit of snatching the iron armor.
"Khan, retribution!"
Li Chongjiu took the letter and read it, his face suddenly changed, he raised his head and glanced at the city, and immediately said: "Withdraw immediately!" โ
Eto, Ying Hefu originally looked like he was about to grab the iron armor, but when he saw Li Chongjiu ordering the troops to retreat, they all complained: "Khan, why don't you fight, don't you stop us from getting rich, let us rob the iron armor first." โ
"Don't say more, retreat!" Li Chongjiu repeated, and the two of them had no choice but to accept the order after listening to it.
Watching Li Chongjiu and his cavalry retreat into the deep mountains to the north, when there was not a single person left, cheers broke out from the city, and Gao Tan Sheng frightened the enemy back without firing an arrow, and now it was like a great victory, receiving cheers from all sides under the city. Countless believers worshipped him. "I really inherited the destiny of heaven, and the enemy chief was wiped out in ashes while talking and laughing." The monk's robe bathed in the evening breeze, hunting and moving, there is a sense of dust, and countless believers are worshipping from the heart.
Less than thirty miles away from Huairong County, in a canyon, countless ironclad soldiers are dormant, and strong crossbow horses abound, and on the two Chinese army flags lying on the ground, there is a Sui character and a Xue character written respectively. As we all know, this is the banner of Xue Shixiong, the general of the left imperial guard.
The 20,000 Sui troops in this valley are subordinate to the Left Imperial Guard. At this moment, Xue Shixiong, the general of the Left Imperial Guard, is looking into the distance with burning eyes, and his four sons Xue Wanshu, Xue Wanshu, Xue Wanjun, and Xue Wanche are lined up in iron armor. The red cloak shook slowly, and the veteran Xue Shixiong was slowly stroking his beard, and after he was almost killed in Liaodong, he was already doubly cautious.
Huairong County rebelled for a month, he deliberately did not send troops to quell the rebellion, and watched coldly from the sidelines, and when Li Chongjiu and Gao Kaidao led the army at the same time, he secretly gathered 20,000 elite soldiers from Jixian County and ambushed them near the canyon. Its purpose is to take advantage of several waves of people to fight each other, and when they fight for Huairong County, he will have a praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches.
"What a good Li Chongjiu, he actually withdrew from the army, but he noticed the whereabouts of our army, and it really fell short." Xue Shixiong said in a deep voice.
On the side, Xue Wanche said: "Father, since Li Chongjiu has withdrawn from the army, do we still want to attack the city to eliminate the rebellion?" โ
Xue Shixiong wiped his jaw, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, although Li Chongjiu is gone, isn't there still an anti-thief Gao Kaidao?" This person has a ghost in his heart, and he will definitely fight with Gao Talk, and we will directly clean them up in one place, so as not to let the old man go around to quell the rebellion. โ
Hearing Xue Shixiong say this, all the generals smiled, and the eldest son Xue Wan said: "Yes, Jixian County is an important place in Liaodong, if it weren't for the Holy Lord's order that we should not leave lightly, we would have cleaned up those thieves together with General Yang." Where is there now, we can only wait for Gao Tansheng to rebel and let Gao Kaidao throw himself into the net, so that we can send troops to fight, so that we can not leave the country. โ
Another son, Xue Wanjun, said: "Father, this troubled era is the time when my warriors seize military merits, we have 30,000 male soldiers, but we can only sit and watch the surrounding anti-people rebellion, but sitting in one place, the child is envious of Guo Tongshou, presumably he has already exterminated Dou Jiande at this moment and taken his head." โ
Xue Shixiong shook his head and said: "If you want to fight, you will soon have a chance, as far as I know, Li Mi has obtained 200,000 troops after obtaining Liyang Cang, and now since he did not go south to attack the eastern capital, nor did he enter the river to cross the river to take Xijing, but went all the way north to Youyan, and he actually wanted to annex the entire territory of Hebei." At the moment, Yang Yichen is too busy to take care of himself, and I think that we will soon be transferred to the south to quell the chaos. โ
After Xue Shixiong said this, a trace of worry appeared on his face. After all, compared with the situation in the whole Hebei and the whole world, the pattern of this Zhuo County is too small and too small. Now Yuyang has Gao Kaidao, Liucheng has Luo Yi, Shanggu, Yuyi has Li Chongjiu, Yanmen has Song Jingang, Hengjun has Wang Xuba, Zhuojun can be said to be surrounded by enemies, but he can only sit in Zhuo County, otherwise if his army moves, this Jixian County will be empty, and countless hoarders will be cheap to collect money and grain from Liaodong.
And after retiring from Huairong County, Li Chongjiu is now covered in cold sweat, if he hadn't sent a four-sided scout to report earlier, he would have almost fallen into Xue Shixiong's trap.
Huairong County is nothing, and a mere 3,000 thief army is nothing, even if you put on iron armor and have a strong crossbow, it is nothing, but Xue Shixiong's 20,000 elite soldiers are deadly. These officers and soldiers are the elite of the Great Sui of the Three Expeditions to Liaodong, stationed in Zhuo County, which is the Dinghai Divine Needle of the imperial court in Liaodong, and cannot be moved lightly. If Li Chongjiu suddenly attacked Huairong County, when the fierce battle was in full swing, Xue Shixiong commanded 20,000 to suddenly kill from the flank, and at that time, whether it was Li Chongjiu or Gao Tansheng, they would only clean up Xue Shixiong and pick up the benefits of the fisherman. A small Huairong County, I thought that I could get off the night, but I didn't expect that it was a trap laid by the other party a long time ago, and I could be said to be out of danger this time.
And Eto, Ying Hefu heard what Li Chongjiu said afterwards, and they were all shocked into a cold sweat, they had all heard of Xue Shixiong's reputation, known as Xue Manzi, and he was one of the few famous generals in the Great Sui, and even all the departments of the grassland had heard of his name. Now that they heard that Xue Shixiong was actually trying to ambush them on the sidelines, they all secretly said that they were happy. However, it is also a pity that Li Chongjiu's men are all cavalry, and as soon as the reconnaissance cavalry is scattered, the enemy situation within 30 miles can be clear......
Now that there is Xue Shixiong, a fierce tiger in charge, Huairong County doesn't want to fight at all, everyone is hanging their heads, thinking that they can be invincible when they reach the Central Plains with 10,000 iron horsemen roaring on the grassland, but now that they meet Xue Shixiong, they still want to know how to save their lives.
"Huairong can't go, so we'll take a detour to the upper valley." Li Chongjiu said loudly.
"But this way back is cut off." Sun Erniang said.
"No, it's a big deal that we still have Yanmen to go back to Huaihuang Town, but it's a little farther away." Li Chongjiu said that since the army went on the expedition, there was no reason to return empty-handed. Xue Shixiong's appearance did not give him the idea of fighting Huairong County, so he led this 10,000 iron cavalry to destroy Song Jingang in Shanggu and annex the entire county of Shanggu.
Hearing that there was a war to be fought, they also regained their strength.
That night, because he learned of Xue Shixiong's 20,000 troops, Li Chongjiu led 10,000 cavalry to take a remote road from Huairong County by night. Along the way, the cavalry traveled lightly, and all unnecessary baggage was lost, and everyone was in a hurry with their heads buried, for fear that Xue Shixiong's army would suddenly appear and kill him.
Even Li Chongjiu, Eto, and Yinghefu were also worried about the main generals of their family, and they felt that the wind and trees were all soldiers all the way, and the whole army only knew how to run wildly, and they didn't even have the kung fu to get off the horse, and they all solved it in the saddle. Such a wolf bรจi is also the first time since Li Chongjiu raised his army.
10,000 cavalry ran wildly for a day and a night, and Fang rushed to the boundary of Feihu County in Shanggu. It wasn't until the three armies saw the head of Feihu County that everyone breathed a sigh of relief from Xue Shixiong's huge pressure, and actually congratulated each other on saving a small life.
