Chapter 566: Intercepting the ship and capturing Yang Guang
Wang Xuanze had been sending people to pay attention to Yang Guang's movements, and the three thousand feathers of Lin Wei traveled all the way without encountering the slightest resistance. When the prefectures and counties saw the 3,000 elite soldiers, they immediately closed the city gates.
After encountering Yu Linwei, the peasant rebels in various places also retreated. Only some people who had no brains wanted to stop it, but in the face of the three thousand feathers Lin Wei, they were defeated in a moment.
Seeing that the combat strength of these soldiers was so amazing, the other rebel armies did not dare to stop them.
An army of 3,000 is like no one.
The Wang family has built cottages in many places over the years, and has stockpiled grain and grass equipment in them, and the march route of the 3,000 Yu Lin Wei will also pass through these cottages.
With these cottages providing food and grass logistics, the march speed of the three thousand forest guards was very fast.
Just when Yang Guang returned to Luoyang, Yu Linwei also came to Henan.
However, the news of Yu Linwei's entry into Henan did not reach Yang Guang's ears, and not long ago, Yang Guang inquired about the situation of the peasant uprisings in various places, and those officials concealed the true situation, informing Yang Guang that the number of peasant uprisings had decreased, and that order had begun to be restored in various places.
One of the few officials who dared to tell the truth told Yang Guang that the peasant uprising had intensified, even a hundred miles away from Luoyang, and was killed by a furious Yang Guang.
This kind of self-deception made other officials even more afraid to tell the truth, and they began to whitewash the peace.
In this case, Yang Guang began to take a dragon boat south to Jiangdu.
For the sake of safety, Yang Guang led an army of 100,000 and tens of thousands of palace people, and the fleet was mighty, passing through the canal into Liang County, and then going southeast from Liang County.
Wang Xuanze led the army to the vicinity of the canal, Yang Guang wanted to pass through the canal and walked away, hiding in Jiangzhou drunk and dreaming of death, but Wang disagreed.
He has ruled the world for more than ten years, and has made a thriving empire into such a devastated appearance, and he wants to pat his ass and leave, and continue to go to Jiangdu to be at ease, how can there be such a beautiful thing in the world?
Wang Xuanze was ready to end the Sui Dynasty's Mandate of Heaven here and kill Yang Guang to sacrifice the people of the world.
Immediately, Wang Xuanze recruited the people to directly nail the chains with the thickness of the bowl mouth on both sides of the canal, and the iron cable crossed the river to block the boats. At the same time, wooden stakes were driven into the river to block the passage of boats.
Emperor Yang Guang's fleet left Liang County and went south along the Tongji Canal, with tens of thousands of troops guarding them along the way, but Wang Xuanze ignored these tens of thousands of troops.
Three thousand forest guards lurked near the canal, waiting for the fleet to arrive. In order to prevent being discovered, Wang Xuanze also used the effect of the artifact Covering the Sky Banner to hide and disguise, as long as those people did not get close to observe, they would not be able to find their ambush at all.
What's more, the Sui army never thought that someone would raid them, you must know that the Sui army that escorted Yang Guang's dragon boat to the south was the most elite army of the Great Sui Dynasty.
Of course, how much combat power is left of this most elite Sui army, there is still a question mark, and the continuous conquest of Liaodong has exhausted the elite of the Sui army. The battle of Yanmen Pass has already stripped off their bottoms.
Sure enough, the vanguard of the Sui army did not search carefully, and even dealt with it hastily, and they did not even go to the woods on both sides of the bank to investigate.
This kind of reconnaissance method is not to mention covering it up with artifacts, even if they don't use artifacts, those Sui soldiers can't find the Yulinwei in the woods.
didn't let Wang Xuanze wait long, the fleet of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui appeared far away, thousands of cavalry troops on both sides of the canal on guard, Wang Xuanze asked people to let him go, and when the fleet approached, the army moved instantly.
The tens of thousands of Sui troops guarding the dragon boat could not have imagined that someone would dare to attack their idea, and they would not even have much defense.
The three thousand Yu Lin Wei, all dressed in iron armor, one person and three war horses, rushed towards the Sui army.
Wang Xuanze took the lead, wearing heavy armor all over his body, even the war horse was wearing horse armor, the sound of heavy horse hooves was like thunder, and three thousand armored cavalry suddenly attacked, not giving the Sui army any time to prepare at all.
Tens of thousands of troops were not equipped with any armor at all on the march, and in the face of three thousand armored cavalry, these Sui troops did not have the slightest idea of resistance.
These Sui soldiers knew the power of the armored cavalry, and after seeing the charging armored cavalry, none of them thought about resisting and fled in all directions.
There were also a large number of Sui soldiers who saw the armored cavalry, directly dropped their weapons, jumped into the canal, and swam to the other side of the canal.
Even if the armored cavalry can't run for a long time, it's not the infantry that can't run.
Tens of thousands of Sui troops were easily defeated in the face of armored cavalry, and these Sui troops had long lost their morale, and they were even unwilling to work for Yang Guang anymore.
Escaping was like a domino, falling apart in an instant.
Tens of thousands of troops fled, and Wang Xuanze easily chiseled through the military formation, and then came to the bank of the canal. Immediately after that, everyone shot arrows at the dragon boats in the river.
Three thousand rockets flew up and directly set fire to several dragon boats behind the flotilla.
The width of the canal is already limited, and the ships can't dodge at all, not to mention the huge size of the dragon boat, which has no defense against these rocket arrows, and is directly ignited.
In order to avoid the rockets, the fleet panicked and dodged, and for a time several ships collided directly with each other, and after these ships collided, the canal was directly blocked, and the remaining ships could only continue to move forward.
However, the front of the canal had already been dug down by Wang Xuanze and blocked with iron chains, making it impassable at all, and the entire dragon boat fleet was blocked in the canal except for a few ships at the back.
Hundreds of big boats didn't have any power to fight back at this moment, Wang Xuanze didn't care about other ships, and directly led people to rush to the largest and most gorgeous dragon boat.
Emperor Yang Guang of Sui sat on this boat.
In the face of the sudden attack, Yang Guang couldn't believe that the tens of thousands of Sui troops he relied on as his right-hand man would be so vulnerable.
The fleet was blocked on the canal, and Yang Guang had nowhere to escape even if he wanted to.
After seeing the dragon boat, Wang Xuanze directly chose to use the Heavenly Mandate Artifact, only to see that the canal condensed into ice in just a few breaths.
Three thousand Yu Lin Wei rushed directly into the canal, stepped on the ice and rushed directly to the vicinity of the dragon boat, and then Yu Lin Wei rushed out of several people, holding flying claws, and climbed onto the dragon boat.
In a matter of moments, a staircase was built out of rope and planks.
The remaining Yu Lin Wei immediately rushed up the stairs, and the guards on the dragon boat had already fled by this time, even the remaining few people surrendered after seeing the miracle in front of them.
Wang Xuanze led the soldiers to rush directly into the dragon boat, but Yang Guang was not caught in the dragon boat hall, and finally under the leadership of the eunuch, Yang Guang and his wife were found in a small room at the bottom of the dragon boat.
