Outside Hongnong City, several Tang Army scouts were wandering carelessly in the wilderness, not realizing that the danger was quietly approaching.
Whoosh whoosh! ! !
In the dark night, a few sharp arrows suddenly flew out, and the arrows pierced the throat. Several Tang Army detective horses fell off their horses without saying a word.
Two imposing Sui generals came out of the shadows. One of them raised his hand to the other general and said, "Haha, General Yang is good at archery!"
General Yang smiled slightly, clasped his fists and said, "Where is it? How can my meager archery skills be compared with General Huyan's?"
The two people who spoke were Yang Yanzhao's nephew Yang Shihan and Hu Yanzhuo's brother Hu Yanzan. They were both characters who came and went when Yang Gao summoned them, and they were all implanted under Yang Yanzhao's command by the system.
"There is no need to be humble to each other at this time." Yang Yanzhao rushed forward and said in a deep voice: "Now we should seize the time to capture Hongnong. Hongnong is a strong city. Wang Shichong used this city to resist the Tang army for nearly a year. If If the Tang army in the city discovers us, the arduous march for more than a month will be in vain."
"Yes!" Yang Shihan and Hu Yanzan each bowed their hands and led the troops to gallop towards Hongnong City.
Yang Yanzhao turned around and continued to give the order: "Four generals Yang Yansi, Master Shang, Zhou Ben, and Xin Wenli are ordered to follow the order and order you to each lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to surround the four gates. Don't let Li Yuanji go!"
The four powerful generals urged their horses forward and accepted the order with their hands raised: "General, I will obey your order!"
"Set off!"
Yang Yanzhao waved his horse whip and led the main force to slowly approach Hongnong City.
Hu Yanzan and Yang Shihan had only defected to Yang Yanzhao in the past two years. At that time, the situation in Jingxiang had stabilized, and there was no war in Nanjing. The two had joined the army for a long time but had not made any achievements, so they couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Yang Yanzhao understood the thoughts of the two men and their abilities. At this time, he ordered the other four generals to block the perimeter and only led these two generals into the city, in order to take the credit for capturing Hongnong and capturing Li Yuanji alive on their heads. superior.
Yang Shihan and Hu Yanzan also knew this very well. While secretly grateful to Yang Yanzhao, they were also determined to capture Li Yuanji alive in this battle!
"Fuck me!"
Yang Shihan and Hu Yanzan led the leading troops and quickly arrived at the foot of Hongnong City. They immediately reached out and made a move. Dozens of soldiers quickly stepped forward with hook locks, threw them upwards, hooked the battlements, and then climbed up the ropes with their hands and feet. Climb to the top of the city.
Since Wang Shichong was killed, there has been no fighting in Hongnong City. There are hundreds of thousands of Tang troops led by Li Shimin on the front line of Luoyang. The defenders in the city are not vigilant enough. In addition, Li Yuanji was greedy for pleasure and did not manage the army strictly. There were only a few patrolling sentries on the city top, and most of them were dozing off on the city stamps.
After the soldiers of the Sui army climbed up the tower, they quickly killed the sentry on the top of the city and got down from the tower to open the city gate.
"Soldiers, go in and capture Li Yuanji alive!"
Seeing the city gate wide open, Hu Yanzan and Yang Shihan roared in unison and rushed into the city first.
"Ding dong, it has been detected that Yang Shihan has entered the leading state, the force is +5, the basic force is 101, and the current force has increased to 106."
"Ding dong, it has been detected that Hu Yanzan has entered a state of bravery. The force is +4, the base force is 99, and the current force has increased to 103."
In the Sui army camp in front of Hulao Pass, Yang Gao, who had just laid down to rest, suddenly stood up when he heard the system prompts in his mind. With a look of joy on his face, he said: "It seems that Yang Yanzhao's troops have already reached Hongnong." Li Shimin, how long can you spend with me at Hulao Pass?"
It was Chen Ping's suggestion to use Yang Yanzhao's troops to raid Hongnong. This suggestion was also recognized by Liu Bowen and his friend Xi Zhicai, who was recommended by Liu Bowen. However, Chen Ping proposed to send the navy north to the Yellow River to cut off the connection between the Tang army and Hedong County. The proposal to completely trap Li Shimin's army in Luoyang was unanimously opposed by Liu Bowen and Xi Zhicai.
Liu Bowen and Xi Zhicai believed that Li Shimin had 150,000 troops under his command, all of whom were elites who had followed him in battles for many years. If their retreat was completely cut off, according to Li Shimin's character, he would definitely choose to fight to the death with the Sui army. Even if he could completely annihilate the main force of the Tang army, his vitality would be severely damaged. It would be difficult to launch a major war within three to five years. Instead, he would only be advantageous to Zhu Yuanzhang and Tiemu. Zhen et al.
After weighing the pros and cons, Yang Gao finally decided not to send the navy northward, and let go of Hedong to give Li Shimin a retreat. Everyone has a sense of luck. If there is no way out and they are in a desperate situation, everyone will fight to the death. However, if they find that there is still a way out, they will choose to flee for their lives. At that time, they only need to chase and kill each other, and the gains will still be considerable.
As the saying goes, you have to eat your food one bite at a time. Although it may seem very tempting to annihilate 150,000 Tang troops at once, it is actually too risky. If you are not careful, you will make a wedding dress for others.
. . . . . . . . . .
In Hongnong City, the city gate was broken, and tens of thousands of Sui troops swarmed in like a tide. The Tang soldiers were attacked in their sleep, and they suddenly became chaotic. The Sui army's cavalry galloped wantonly through the streets, waving their swords wantonly, killing the Tang soldiers with their heads rolling, and corpses scattered everywhere.
"Your Highness, Your Highness!"
In Li Yuanji's bedroom, Yu Wenxin strode in regardless of the obstruction of the soldiers outside the door, only to see Li Yuanji lying naked to the waist, with two equally naked dancers on the left and right, standing in front of him. Curled up under Li Yuanji's arms.
When Yu Wenxin saw this, he couldn't help but became furious, and immediately raised his voice: "Your Highness, you are so desperate and you still have the thoughts to have fun!"
Yu Wenxin's roar finally woke Li Yuanji up. He opened his eyes dimly, and when he saw Yu Wenxin in front of him, he couldn't help but get angry and shouted: "Yu Wenxin, you are so bold, how dare you break into my lonely bedroom?"
Yu Wenxin snorted coldly and said, "Your Highness, if it weren't for an emergency, I wouldn't want to break into His Highness's bedroom, let alone see such a lewd scene!"
"you..."
Li Yuanji was furious when he heard this, but this anger also woke him up from his hazy state, and the shouts of killing outside reached his ears. He suppressed the anger in his chest and asked in a deep voice: "What happened?"
"The Sui army raided Hongnong and captured the city gate. Now they have entered the city." Yu Wenxin looked at Li Yuanji with some annoyance. If this man hadn't been lax in his command and indulged in drinking and sex all day long, the city gate wouldn't have Lost it so easily.
"What, the Sui army has already entered the city?"
Li Yuanji didn't notice the anger and dissatisfaction in Yu Wenxin's eyes at this time. When he heard Yu Wenxin say that the Sui army entered the city, he suddenly remembered that he was beaten violently by that reckless man Chang Yuchun when he was captured last time. About thirty army sticks, I felt a dull pain in my butt again. I rolled out of bed and said loudly while putting on my armor: "Hurry, go find Li Guiren and ask him to come over and escort Gu to escape from danger." !”
