As soon as Li Jiancheng finished speaking, Hou Fangyu, who was standing next to him on horseback, suddenly said with a sinister smile: "What did His Highness the Crown Prince say? Then Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin are just a group of wild men. Yang Gao is a stupid and incompetent child who only knows how to appoint others. Such people have no plans for a husband, but they don’t know how to make friends with the world’s scholars. Although they are in the limelight for a while, in my opinion, this person will be dead in less than ten years!”
Li Jiancheng turned around and glanced at Hou Fangyu who was sneering, but a feeling of disgust suddenly surged in his heart. At that moment, he turned away and said to Liu Zhiyuan on the other side: "General Liu, send an order to all the generals to send out troops to surround and kill the Sui army!"
"yes!"
After taking the order, Liu Zhiyuan raised a red flag with his one arm and waved it vigorously several times.
"Kill!"
After Liu Zhiyuan shook his head several times in succession, there were loud shouts of killing from all directions, and countless Tang troops rushed in like a tide, instantly surrounding the Sui troops in the core.
When Qin Huaiyu saw that the Tang army was ambushing, he immediately used his spear and attacked several times to force Yuan Lang back. He reined in his horse and returned to the military formation, shouting loudly to stabilize the morale of the army: "Soldiers, don't panic. The main force of our army is not far behind you. As long as we hold on for a while." Then you can fight to support us!"
Seeing this, Luo Tong also made a feint to withdraw from the battle circle, reined in his horse and retreated into the army.
"Luo Tong, please don't leave!" Liu Yuan had a hot temper. He was so angry when he was killed by Luo Tong just now. How could he let Luo Tong retreat now? As soon as his legs clamped down on the horse's belly, he rushed after him.
"You're looking for death!" Luo Tong saw Liu Yuan clinging to him and wouldn't let go. Luo Tong was furious. He suddenly turned around and stabbed him, "You'll have to take a shot from Grandpa Luo!"
"Ding dong, it was detected that Luo Tong used his carbine, the force was instantly +4, and the current force rose to 105. It was detected that the target character Liu Yuan was unprepared, the force was -4, and the current force dropped to 92."
Luo Tong's carbine shot came very quickly, like a shooting star chasing the moon, as powerful as thunder and as fast as lightning. Before Liu Yuan could even react, he was stabbed through the chest. He screamed immediately, fell off his horse and died.
"Ding dong, it was detected that Luo Tong killed Liu Yuan, an intruder. The host received 9 soul points. The current total number of soul points has increased to 389."
"Ding dong, it has been detected that the enemy is in a state of rage. The force is +6. The base force is 97. The current force has increased to 103."
Luo Tong was about to ride his horse forward to show Liu Yuan Xiao's head to the public, when suddenly there was a rapid sound of horseshoe bells, and a tall man who looked like an iron tower came galloping towards him, with a big mountain ax in his hand and struck Luo Tong's forehead. , "Sui Dog will give back my brother's life!"
"Another one is here to die!" Luo Tong snorted disdainfully, flipped his wrist, placed the plum-blossom gun horizontally above his head, and hit the axe.
"Cang!" A sound of gold and iron clashed, and sparks flew everywhere. Luo Tong was shaken by the impact, and couldn't help but be startled. He thought to himself that this person's strength should not be underestimated, so he quickly put aside his contempt and braced himself to face the attack. You come and I go, guns and axes intersect, and it is difficult to determine the outcome of the fierce battle for more than twenty rounds.
At this moment, dust started to rise in the south. Di Qing, who was wearing a copper mask and disheveled hair, charged first, clapping his horse and wielding a sword. He cut down several Tang army generals who were blocking the way, rode his horse into them, and shouted loudly: "Qin Huaiyu and Luo Tong, my nephews, don't panic. , I’m here to support you!”
"Ding dong, it has been detected that Di Qing has entered the formation charging state, the force is +5, the base force is 98, and the current force has increased to 103."
"Brothers, come on, capture Li Jiancheng alive, and the reward will be thousands of dollars!"
Qin Qiong also urged his horse forward, waving a golden tiger-headed spear up and down, creating a tiger-like wind that was invincible to all who stood in his way, and in an instant he was able to defeat the enemy. He thought with some confusion in his heart: "Li Jiancheng doesn't seem to be a fool. How could he use such a clumsy strategy? The tens of thousands of Tang troops under attack from both sides of our army will be seriously injured even if they are not completely wiped out."
"Brothers, the reinforcements have arrived. Kill the Tang thieves and capture Li Jiancheng alive!"
The Sui soldiers who had been trapped by the Tang army were immediately encouraged when they saw their own reinforcements arriving, and they rushed forward waving their weapons and shouting. He responded back and forth to the Sui army who came for reinforcements, killing the Tang soldiers until their heads were rolling and their flesh and blood were flying everywhere.
Hou Fangyu who was on the hillside saw this and hurriedly said to Li Jiancheng: "Your Highness, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and call them to show up to give the Sui army a fatal blow!"
Li Jiancheng's face twitched violently when he heard this. He took a deep breath and seemed to have made a great decision. He looked at Liu Zhiyuan and nodded slowly.
Liu Zhiyuan understood, took a yellow flag from the soldiers behind him, raised it with all his strength, and waved it a few times in the distance.
Rumble, rumble! ! !
While Liu Zhiyuan was still raising the flag and waving it, the sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance, causing the ground to shake.
More than 30,000 troops shouted and roared towards them, cutting off the Sui army's retreat. The general leading the army had a great beard and a tall figure. Heng Dao immediately shouted loudly: "Wu Mou Sui Gou, Yeon Gae Su Wen is here! Your way back has been cut off, why don't you get off your horse and be bound now!"
"Yeon Gaesumun? This is the army of Goguryeo!" Qin Qiong reacted immediately and cursed: "I asked what happened to Li Jiancheng today. It turned out that he had received reinforcements. In vain, I thought that Li Jiancheng was as loyal and honest as the rumors. I never expected that he would even collude with the Goguryeo people in order to win!"
Yuan Gaisuwen led his army this time because his father, Goguryeo Molizhi Yuan Taizuo, was bewitched by Hou Fangyu.
Hou Fangyu hated Yang Gao deeply because of Fu Shanxiang's incident in the Jiangdu imperial examination, and vowed to retaliate against Yang Gao for destroying the Sui Dynasty. Ignoring the dissuasion of his former friend Qian Yiqian, he left for Goguryeo. After racking his brains, he gained Yuan Taizuo's trust and persuaded Yuan Taizuo to send troops to Qingzhou.
In fact, with Goguryeo's own national strength, it was impossible to build a warship across the ocean. However, the Sui Dynasty's three expeditions to Goguryeo failed miserably, and tens of thousands of material reserves, weapons and ammunition were obtained by Goguryeo. This allowed Goguryeo's army to cross the sea and enter Qingzhou.
In addition, Li Jiancheng was also quite resistant to the alliance with Goguryeo. The Sui army's three expeditions to Goguryeo injured hundreds of thousands of people, and a large number of prisoners of war remained in Goguryeo and were punished as coolies. Most of them were descendants of Guanlong. Li Jiancheng was a generous elder, so he naturally had no good impression of Goguryeo, and he was even more disgusted with traitors like Hou Fangyu.
However, the situation was stronger than the people. Under the repeated advice of his confidant Qin Hui, and thinking of the unfavorable situation of the Tang Dynasty in the current confrontation between the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Li Jiancheng could only grit his teeth and agreed to the alliance with Goguryeo.
"General Qin!" Just as Qin Qiong was angrily scolding Li Jiancheng, Di Qing rode closer, raised his hands and said, "Now is not the time to rebuke Li Jiancheng for colluding with Goguryeo. Hurry up and order the withdrawal!"
