The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 494 He Knows, He Knows
Qiu Xinggong finally appeared in front of Xin Liaoer. As expected, the Tang army gathered in this narrow area by itself, and the marching speed slowed down.

"Did you see it? This person is undoubtedly the main general!" Seeing Qiu Xinggong wearing bright armor, he turned his head to look at the deputy general and said, "Be sure to shoot this person. Once this person dies, the Tang army will rest on a serious matter."

Instilled by Yang Tong, the beheading tactical concept of "shooting people first, shooting horses, and capturing thieves first" has long been deeply rooted in the soul of Sui Dynasty generals. In order to prevent their own generals from being beheaded by the enemy during the march, Yang Tong asked the Ministry of Industry to make They distributed a batch of bright light armors that were not gorgeous at all, and distributed them to the generals of the armies, but the materials were hard to find and difficult to make. Generals like Xin Liaoer had one set for each person, while Luo Shixin and the others only had two sets for each person. Compared with Mingguang armor, it is lighter and more defensive.

"The last general takes orders!" The deputy general replied, leading a group of sharp archers away.

The archers are good archers who are selected from the army and the people, and they are concentrated. Their first task is to kill the head of the enemy's general. The crossbows they use are also made by the Ministry of Industry according to the pulley principle provided by Yang Tong. The new crossbow is powerful and can be operated by one person, and this group of people has undergone special training. They walk in the mountains as if walking on the ground. Every main battle army is equipped with such a team. The number of people varies. special forces.

Under the leadership of the lieutenant general, hundreds of archer soldiers quietly approached Tang Jun under the cover of bushes.

"Remember, the person wearing the bright light armor is the enemy's general. He will enter the range later. You should choose the right time and shoot at the same time. You must shoot this person to death." The team is dealing with each other, and he doesn't say when to make a move, and he doesn't understand how the sharpshooter plays, so everyone can play by themselves.

"Don't worry, general, our arrows are all soaked in poison. As long as the skin is broken and blood is stained, people will not escape."

"Okay, you can figure it out yourself."

"Here!"

Lu Shuai stared at Qiu Xinggong, and said without looking back.

Qiu Xinggong was still racking his brains thinking about how to become a cavalry general, and he didn't know that the crisis was coming. Suddenly, a chill that made the beasts stare at him surged from the bottom of his heart, and he said to the soldiers beside him: "I suddenly feel upset. , it seems that something big is about to happen, let everyone be careful."

"We have King Jin's main force behind us, the general has nothing to worry about." The commander of the soldiers smiled.

"No, you don't know, my feeling has always been very accurate. If this feeling keeps going back and forth in my heart, there are nine out of ten big things will happen." After Qiu Xinggong finished speaking, his expression became confused again: " What the hell have I overlooked?"

"Puff puff!"

Almost at the same time as the sound sounded, Qiu Xinggong's body trembled a few times. The commander of the guards glanced over, his eyes were about to split open, and he saw Qiu Xinggong's body. The arrow was shot, and the whole person was like a hedgehog, staring at the direction of the hillside with a pair of eyes in disbelief, his lips moved a few times, but he couldn't make a sound, and he died completely in the blink of an eye.

"There is an ambush!" The commander of the guards was stunned for a while, looking at the dead Qiu Xinggong and more than a dozen guards who were hit by the arrow, he shouted in grief and indignation.

However, there is no need for him to remind him. The sound of breaking the wind suddenly sounded, and the Sui army lurking here has already decisively fired the crossbow in their hands, and a dense array of arrows poured towards the Tang army within a hundred steps. , Splashing blood flowers in the marching ranks.Tang Jun was caught off guard and fell to the ground one after another. The soldiers were screaming and the horses were neighing. In a short while, hundreds of people fell to the ground.

"Woooooo!"

The tragic sound of horns echoed in the forest, and two thousand Sui iron cavalry who had recharged their batteries for a long time urged their horses and rushed straight down from the hills. The team cut in half!The two Ying Yanglang and the four generals cooperated tacitly, and each led their soldiers to kill to the left and right sides, and the gap continued to widen.

Xin Liaoer waved his wolf-toothed lance and galloped across the dense crowd of enemies, slapping the dead, touching the dead, smashing heads and smashing bodies, leading a team of fierce troops to kill the enemy's corpses, bloody and bloody. Fly, red mist filled the air.His mission was not to let an enemy soldier report to the east, and his heart was also ruthless. He led the most capable soldiers under his command to kill eastward, and soon he broke out of a no-man's land and beheaded the Tang army. It was chaotic and unorganized.

Although the cavalry of the Tang army were all formed by elite divisions, both Li Yuan and Li Shimin regarded the cavalry as treasures, and their actual combat experience was pitiful. The strength and duration of the horses are extremely limited, and the riding skills are not exquisite. As a result, the horses not only fail to double their combat power, but are weakened.

Although the cavalry of the Tang army rode war horses, in the eyes of the Sui army, they were no different from the infantry on horseback. The soldiers of the Sui army were not only brave and good at fighting, but also had strong training. , The experience of riding and fighting is far beyond Tang Jun's ability.This gap is not only the gap between the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but also can be magnified to farming and nomadic peoples. Although the Sui army was not the children of nomadic people who grew up on horseback, their riding skills and experience in riding and fighting were far beyond the capabilities of the Central Plains heroes.To some extent, Yang Tong, who dominated the north, not only monopolized the horses, but also monopolized the natural source of cavalry. Compared with the northerners, there are very few people in the south who can ride horses. Not a year's work.If Li Tang performed the feat of riding the whole army, not only would Yang Tong not be worried, but he would laugh up to the sky with joy.

The various gaps between the cavalry of the Sui and Tang Dynasties doomed the outcome of the war, not to mention the fact that the Sui army possessed many advantages such as surprise, so the battle did not last long. As time went by, the leaderless Tang army was gradually killed and dispersed. , fell into the desperate situation of fighting on their own, most of the soldiers saw that the situation was not good, and abandoned their weapons and surrendered; but not all of them were fools. The Sui army caused great trouble. The Sui army charged many times and killed more than [-] Tang troops, but there were also some casualties.

At this moment, Luo Shixin, who led the army from the head of the "long snake" to eat away at the enemy, arrived. Seeing that the Tang army dared to fight back, he was furious. Under the cover of the rising sun, blossoming gunflowers poured out like a torrential rain, crashing into the enemy crowd forcefully.

These Tang soldiers are indeed courageous, but in the face of absolute strength, personal courage cannot reflect its great value.

The soul-hunting cold iron gun took away fresh lives, and the blood stained the earth: the cavalry of the Tang army who had been alive and fighting just now turned into lifeless corpses and scattered on the ground.

The hundred or so cavalrymen of the Tang army who were still resisting did not change anything, and Luo Shixin's speed would not stop because of them, but even faster.

Just as dozens of spears stabbed at Luo Shixin like poisonous snakes, a cold light flickered, Luo Shixin used faster and more domineering moves, and killed every Tang army cavalry within his attack range.

The essence of Luo Shixin's martial arts is to go forward without hesitation, and to look down upon the world with a domineering aura. No one, no strong enemy, can make him retreat an inch.Although he still can't beat Qin Qiong, who is known as the number one general of the Sui Dynasty, Qin Qiong, who is at the peak, will slowly go downhill in the future, and Luo Shixin is young and is on the way to the top. There is a huge room for growth. Just talking, although it is unfair to Qin Qiong, how can there be fairness in the world?Taking the present as an example, the peak Qin Qiong was also unfair to Luo Shixin.

Being number one in the world is the pursuit of any general, and Luo Shixin is no exception, but it is not easy for him to replace Qin Qiong. In addition to Qin Qiong himself, Yuchixue, Pei Xingyan, Niu Jinda, Xue Wanjun, Xue Wanche, Shen Guang, Xie Yingdeng, etc. The generals of the first level are all working hard in secret, ready to defeat all the strong ones, and finally reach the pinnacle of martial arts.

These people are Luo Shixin's comrades-in-arms and brothers on the battlefield, and they can rely on their lives, but in martial arts, they are the most threatening enemies. If there is a grand event such as winning the championship with martial arts, no one will hold back.However, in Luo Shi's confidence, the most threatening thing is the emperor who cannot be judged by common sense. His martial arts essence is as weird as his fighting style!Even if he has been with him for several years, Luo Shixin still can't figure out his routine.

The soldiers of the surrounding Sui army saw the great general's great power, and suddenly they cheered like thunder, their courage and combat power doubled, and they fought hard to wipe out the remnants of the enemy.

At this time, there was another sound of horseshoes rolling, but it was not the Tang army, but a Sui army scout, and there was a trace of panic in their expressions.

Scouts are always served by brave and cautious soldiers with strong combat effectiveness. They have extremely high psychological quality and adaptability, and generally do not show signs of panic, unless the matter is too big and beyond their hearts to bear.

Seeing this, Luo Shixin couldn't help but twitched his heart, thinking: Could it be that the thing I was most worried about happened?

He quickly wiped out the remnant enemies in front of him, and galloped his horse to meet them.

"General!" The scout team was saluting from a distance.

"What are you panicking about? God, it won't fall down." Luo Shixin suppressed his irritability and reprimanded him in a calm tone.

"Here!" Seeing Luo Shixin's calmness, the scouts' fears calmed down, and the team reported: "General, the main force of the Tang army has moved westward for less than twenty miles."

"How many enemy troops are there?"

"The foot and the horse are all complete, and there is no end in sight, probably all of them." The team looked at Luo Shixin's stern face, and continued: "Wang Qi is commanding the flag, and some brothers are watching. Li Shimin, Liu Wenjing, Yin Kaishan and other enemy chiefs No one will fall."

Luo Shixin's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words: Could it be that Li Shimin succeeded?If he knew this earlier, he shouldn't have let him leave Zhuojun alive!After thinking about it for a while, he ordered several Tang soldiers to be escorted up, and asked, "Why did Li Shimin retreat westward?"

The ashen-faced Tang Jun were all stunned, and they all looked at Luo Shixin with incredulous expressions.

"Speak! Tell the truth. Otherwise, I'll kill you." Luo Shixin stretched out his spear and pressed it against the throat of a Tang soldier.

The stinging pain in his throat brought the unlucky Tang Jun back to his senses, and he said in fear, "General, your army launched a fierce attack on the Changyuan Camp last night. Resist in front and lead the main force to retreat westward quietly..."

The soldier of the Tang army thought that Luo Shi believed in Yang Shanhui's order, and set up an ambush here beforehand, and didn't know the situation of Changyuan, so he said cautiously: "General...your army has won..."

Luo Shixin was taken aback for a moment, and then looked back with an unbelievable look, "You mean our army attacked overnight and you were defeated? Our army chased after your ass and beat you?"

"Exactly!" This Tang Jun understood that the two groups of Sui troops were obviously not in the same group.

"You didn't break the embankment?" Luo Shixin asked again.

Tang Jun said in a daze, "Break the embankment? There is no embankment in Changyuan."

"You didn't build a dam?"

"No, absolutely not." Tang Jun's soldier said very simply, if it wasn't for the gun blade on his neck, he would have shaken his head desperately to strengthen his persuasion.

"Little soldier, how do you know that Li Shimin didn't build the dam?"

"General, we walked here along the Luoshui River! We didn't see any dams." The soldiers of the Tang Army felt the pain a little deeper, and they were about to cry.

"when"

The sharp spear in Luo Shixin's hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and he swayed a few times on the horse. If he hadn't been equipped with double-sided stirrups, this great Sui general who had always wanted to be number one in the world would definitely have fallen off the horse's back.

By now, he fully understood that the dike really didn't exist.

However, Luo Shixin did not believe all of them. He even asked ten groups of captives, and finally he believed that there was no such thing as a dam.

Luo Shixin was dumbfounded.

He also finally knew that everything that happened that night was fabricated by Yang Tong, and his old brother's words made them, the hard-working soldiers, lose their legs!He now has a strong urge to burst into tears.But what he didn't know was that the guy Yang Shanhui had obviously won, but in the end he almost committed suicide to apologize.

"I'll just say it! This dam doesn't exist at all. You just don't believe it." At this time, Xin Liao'er returned from the blood and said with a wise man's appearance, "I..."

"I"? Before I could say it, Xin Liao'er flew off the horse, followed by Luo Shixin's fist like a storm.

Xin Liaoer was dumbfounded!
For a long time!

Luo Shixin let go of Xin Liaoer, who was bruised and swollen, exhaled deeply, and said, "Comfortable, refreshing!"

"..." Xin Liaoer.

"Send an eagle letter to inform the Holy Master and You Pushe, saying that there is no dam. Also tell Li Zhengbao the situation, so that he does not have to come again, and first retreats to the Luoshui warehouse. Whether to burn or keep the grain and grass, wait for orders."

"What about us?"

"Escort the prisoners and join General Li."

Although Luo Shixin wanted to launch another ambush, the soldiers couldn't take it anymore, so they had no choice but to issue an order to temporarily avoid the Tang army.

"General!" Xin Liao'er was not angry when he was brutally ravaged. Luo Shixin was not only his boss, but also his master who taught him art, and he accepted the beating.He gritted his teeth and said: "I have guessed the real intention of the Holy One, this is simply using soldiers like a god."

"Eh?" Luo Shixin was taken aback for a moment, "Why?"

"If there is no battle report from the Holy Majesty, does the general think that he can do so many things in one night?"

"This... doesn't seem to work."

"But now?"

"what do you mean……"

"Encouragement! I think this is what the Holy Majesty deliberately said to break the embankment to arouse everyone's common hatred and hatred, and finally deal a fatal blow to the enemy. Facts have proved that the Holy Majesty succeeded. Because whether it is our army or the right servant's shooting is extraordinary performance , with [-]% potential to beat the enemy to pieces." Xin Liaoer wiped his nosebleed, raised his bruised face, and said with admiration: "The Holy Majesty uses soldiers like antelopes with horns, unpredictable, my generation I can only look up!"

"I don't think so." Luo Shixin was dubious.

"Then let me ask the general again, since you have followed the Holy Majesty for so long, when did the Holy Majesty miss it? When did the Holy Majesty make fun of military affairs?"

"That's really not the case." Luo Shixin shook his head decisively. He was not the first person to follow Yang Tong, but he was definitely the general who stayed by Yang Tong's side the most. Of course, he knew that Yang Tong had a brilliant record of never failing.

"Don't the Holy One know that the first task before the embankment is to evacuate the people downstream? He knows, he knows, must know, must know! But he still let us fight the war instead of evacuating the people. The Holy Majesty has never been defeated. Don't you know that our army Is the raid facing the risk of total annihilation? He knows, he must know. But he let us do it anyway, and we all won... This is something we didn't even think of, and the enemy certainly couldn't think of it. This is surprise …The Holy Majesty’s use of soldiers like a god is really beyond our ordinary people’s ability to guess.”

Xin Liaoer spoke urgently and quickly, and looked at Luo Shixin triumphantly after finishing speaking.

"..." Luo Shixin wanted to hit him again.

Xin Liao'er didn't have the intuition that he was about to be beaten, and said, "General, I don't think we should withdraw like this."

"What do you mean?" Luo Shixin stared fiercely, looking quite fierce.

"Ambush him again." Xin Liaoer waved his hand, quite impassioned.

"Eh? Where to fight?" Luo Shixin also had the same thought, so he resisted hitting someone, intending to hear what Xin Liaoer had in mind.

"Hey!" Xin Liaoer gave the answer in an instant with some help, and approached Luo Shixin with a smirk on his face, and whispered, "It's right here!"

Luo Shixin's nose was crooked in anger, he pushed it to the ground, and kicked it suddenly with his left foot and right foot, regardless of his head and face.While kicking, he cursed loudly: "Bastard, what kind of idea are you doing? Do you want to kill everyone?"

"Bang bang bang bang bang!" The sound of feet to flesh sounded again, and the prisoners of the Tang army on the side were in pain watching it!

Xin Liao'er didn't care about covering his head and face with boots, his head was completely messed up.

The Holy Majesty said that there was a Marshal Liu who did just that!

The sage knows astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom, and uses soldiers like a god, so how could he be wrong?

Is my statement wrong?
