Chapter 1104: Hand-to-hand combat
Before the Tang Dynasty's Eastern Expedition against Goguryeo, the original defenders of Huyi City had only about 2,000 people, and An Xuanhuan was the main general of these 2,000 people.
After the Tang Dynasty marched eastward and crossed the Liao River, Goguryeo's troops and horses were frequently mobilized, and reinforcements were deployed in several cities that the Tang army might attack, including the city of Huyi.
When reinforcements came, so did the problem.
At the moment of the national crisis, the lord of the country was not very confident about the defenders of each city, so he was stationed in the city with reinforcements, as well as civil officials from the capital Pyongyang.
Nominally, the civilian official from Pyongyang is the deputy of the seongchi guard, but anyone who is not a fool can see that this civilian official sent is actually the eyeliner of the lord of the country and the prison army.
At the beginning, the city was reinstated by 3,000 reinforcements and a civilian official.
Ahn Hyun Juan, who originally lived like a local emperor in the city of Huyi, did not have a good time after the arrival of the civil officials in Pyongyang.
In all the military and political affairs in the city, no matter how big or small, this civilian official has to intervene, and he also planted eyeliner in the 5,000 garrison to win over people's hearts, sow discord, and so on.
In short, the traitorous minister should do his part, and this civil official is duty-bound.
Then, An Xuanhuan gradually found that he seemed to be elevated silently.
The generals he trusted in the past seem to have a dislike for him, and the soldiers under his command who used to command him like an arm are also a little unable to command.
Now there are only about 1,000 people left in the defenders of the city who are really loyal to An Xuanlian, and the rest have been co-opted or excluded by the civil official, and they have been cut to seventy-seven eighty-eight.
An Xuanchuan was full of resentment, and he didn't dare to say much, after the civil official arrived, he didn't know how many impeachment documents he had sent to the lord of Pyongyang behind his back, and it was his fault that he walked in the door with his left foot first every day.
The power was hollowed out, the lord of the country did not trust, and the former generals betrayed one after another, and An Xuanhuan was already disheartened.
This is also one of the reasons why after Xue Ne came to the door, without a few words of persuasion, An Xuanhuan decisively decided to turn against the water.
It's really not how good Xue Ne's eloquence is, but An Xuanhuan has long been resentful of Goguryeo, and resentment will turn into betrayal if it is only slightly incited.
So it's hard to say what moved An Xuanhuan was the money and beauty that Xue Ne promised, or the distorted psychology of wanting to take revenge on the lord of the country and civil officials.
After listening to An Xuanlian's words, Xue Ne suddenly felt disappointed.
He thought that he could successfully persuade the defenders of the enemy city to surrender and let him do this, but he found the wrong person and found a Luthor who had failed in the power struggle......
The defenders are not in command, and they still expect him to open the city gate and eat pot pulp to welcome the king?
Xue Ne stared at An Xuanchuan with unkind eyes.
This special thing looks like Luther, he should have seen it a long time ago, and he wasted so much time and saliva on him, and the result was nothing.
It made me feel like I was infected by him, and I became Luther......
An Xuanzhuan drooped his head, and his expression was really like a typical Luther, both weak and embarrassed, like a middle-aged man who boasted about Haikou in front of his mother-in-law.
Before the errand, the evil spirit said "I'm going to kill you today", and after two minutes, the vicissitudes of life lit a cigarette afterwards, and the disdainful eyes of the mother-in-law were obedient.
Xue Ne's eyes were very disdainful at this moment.
No, what do you fill with large cloves of garlic?
Immediately, Xue Ne planned to give up An Xuanlian, looking for an opportunity to meet the civil official and persuade him to surrender the city, but after thinking about it carefully, I am afraid that this method will not work.
The civilian officials transferred from Pyongyang are inevitably officials who are particularly trusted by the state lord, and they have at least 90 percent loyalty, and it is difficult to impress them with money and beauty.
Besides, it's too late, the Tang army is about to come to the city, and Xue Ne doesn't have so much time to persuade at all.
Squinting at the obedient guard in front of him, Xue Ne sighed.
The pants are all off, just him.
Hooking An Xuanlian's neck, Xue Ne grinned and said, "General An, you celebrate your birthday today, I want to congratulate you." ”
An Xuanhuan was stunned: "Today is not my birthday......"
Xue Ne restrained his smile and said seriously: "No, today is your birthday, and you plan to hold a birthday, and if you do a beautiful job, the Chinese military officials of the city will be present and eat your seat, including the civil official, and all the generals of the defending army." ”
An Xuanhuan was stunned: "Why? ”
Xue Ne smiled again and said in a low voice, "Have you heard the story of the 'Hongmen Banquet'?" ”
…………
The battlefield five miles away from the camp of the Tang Army.
The battle was already very fierce, and the enemy troops in the middle broke through the front row shield formation and fell into a fierce battle with the Tang army behind.
The three-eyed gun has lost its effect, and all the officers and men of the Tang Army have been replaced with swords and halberds.
Hand-to-hand combat, life and death.
The moment the enemy army in the middle collided with the Tang army's shield array, the formation was already chaotic, and the Tang army fought in a group with Shihuo as a unit.
Liu Renyuan was worthy of being a fierce general, not only personally went into battle to kill the enemy, but also did not forget to command on the spot, and divided 500 soldiers to quickly insert into the melee battlefield, cut the enemy army piece by piece, and then a small group of Tang troops will form a small encirclement of the enemy army.
Countless halberds stabbed out, the enemy troops in the small encirclement fought desperately, and the battlefield was filled with the terrible screams of the enemy and our soldiers.
Li Qinzai watched the battle of the soldiers in front of him expressionlessly, and his heart calmed down a little.
The situation can still be controlled, the number of enemy troops rushing into the front line is getting smaller and smaller, and in general, the fighting Tang army in the middle has mastered the advantage.
Glancing at the left and right flanks, the enemy troops wandering around seemed to have found a fighter, and after a sharp whistle, the enemy troops roaming on the left and right flanks suddenly turned their horses' heads and rushed towards the Tang army's central formation.
I have to admit that the enemy's tactics are ruthless and vicious, and the timing is just right.
Obviously, the enemy took these 5,000 Tang troops as prey, and cruising around unhurriedly before the battle, causing psychological panic and pressure to the prey, and finally suddenly attacked.
A hundred paces away, the enemy troops on the left and right flanks rode their horses and began to gallop wildly.
They rode on horseback, armed with a variety of weapons in their hands, and let out strange ho-ho cries as they galloped.
Li Qinzai sneered, holding down the Chinese army and not moving, it was the left and right flanks that he defended.
"Order, when the enemy is within thirty paces, ignite the fuse of the explosive bag and throw it out with all your might." Li Qinzai coldly ordered.
From 100 to 30 paces, the gallop was almost just a few breaths.
Soon the enemy rushed within thirty paces.
The soldiers immediately lit the fuse, and the strong men in the army used the best strength of their lives to fiercely throw the explosive bag into the enemy's charging array.
There was another loud bang, and the enemy troops on the left and right flanks saw black and smoking unknown objects falling from the sky and landing on their horses and on the ground.
Before they could see what it was, they were shocked to find that they had been lifted up by a huge wave of qi, and the head and limbs of the person were inexplicably disintegrated in mid-air, and finally turned into a rain of blood and scorched black limbs scattered on the ground.
