First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 155

...

Li Shimin didn't hide it, pointed directly at the mountain in front of him and said: "This place is too severe. Duan Da has been in battle for a long time. After passing this place, he will definitely become suspicious. Do you think our arrangement here will be miscalculated?"

Gao Chong shook his head and smiled when he heard the words, "Second Young Master is indeed becoming more cautious. Duan Da is indeed a battle-hardened man, but he is also impatient and proud. When I show my weakness to the enemy, Duan Da will definitely come and chase after him. , How could it stop because of a mountain? In order to defeat our main force, Duan Da will not give up."

Li Shimin nodded when he heard the words, and took a long breath, "It seems that in recent days, my mentality is indeed unstable."

Then he looked at Gao Chong, "It's time to remind me."

"There is not much time, and we need to arrange it as soon as possible." Gao Chong nodded and said, Li Shimin didn't delay any longer when he saw this, and hurriedly ordered his soldiers to arrange it on the mountain.

Although this mountain is steep, it is not high. It is just extremely steep. People can hide on the mountain, but there is absolutely no way to rush down from the top of the mountain. It is too steep. If you rush down, you will fall to your death without touching the enemy's face.

According to Gao Chong's suggestion, pile up more stones on the mountain. When Duan Da's army arrives, they will push down the stones and block the official road. Head on.

Li Shimin has discussed this strategy with everyone for a long time, and Fang Xuanling even suggested sending a troop of cavalry to retreat westward along the Luoshui River in advance. Just stay behind the enemy.

And Changsun Wuji even had a whimsy. The army camped at the foot of Jinping Mountain, so that [-] elite soldiers with good night vision could go up the mountain to hide overnight. Five thousand Tibetan soldiers in the huge Jinping Mountain are more than enough. After the ambush, you can take the opportunity to seize the city, even if you can't capture the city, you can attack Duan Da's rear army.

After being perfected by everyone, as long as Duan Da goes out of the city, he will be completely tricked by Li Shimin and others.

As expected, Li Shimin led the army to withdraw from the Camping Mountain camp just now, when the scouts from behind came to report, all the Sui troops came out, and set up a banner of Duanzi.

Li Shimin was overjoyed, he ordered Duan Zhixuan's troops and Duan Da's troops to retreat while fighting, and led the army to hide behind the mountain next to the official road.

Duan Zhixuan's troops retreated while fighting the Sui army's forward Zhang Zhi.

On the horseback, Duan Zhixuan cursed angrily, feeling aggrieved in his heart, looking at Zhang Zhi who was showing off his might from a distance, wishing he could step forward and stab him to death, but the military order he received was a false defeat.

This fraudulent defeat is really difficult to control, and at the same time, it has to act like it, and at the same time, it has to control the casualties. If the casualties are too heavy, it is a real defeat, but now Duan Zhixuan can beat this Sui army.

Especially when he saw Zhang Zhi's howling leader chasing headlong, with no formation at all, Duan Zhixuan was confident that as long as he ordered to form an formation to meet the enemy, the Sui army swarming to catch up would surely be defeated.

But Duan Zhixuan couldn't, not to mention how aggrieved he was.

"General, it seems that the Tang army is really out of food." Yang Ping stepped forward excitedly, holding an empty grain bag in both hands, "In the Tang camp, there are empty grain bags everywhere, even the manger is clean. clean".

Duan Da took a look at the grain bag, nodded very happy, looked at Yang Ping, and praised: "Yes, you are very careful."

Then immediately ordered: "The whole army attacks."

Little did they know that at this time, the Tang Army had already filled the grain bags to the brim, just to free up the many empty grain bags, and the Tang Army's war horses and pack horses were also full, because the Tang Army had already scraped the mangers clean , not at all.

Not long after, Zhang Zhi's troops, the forward of the Sui Army, pursued to the ambush mountain, and it could be seen that Zhang Zhi was the forward, so he immediately let him pass.

On the mountain peak, Gao Chong shook his head and said with a smile: "I think Zhixuan is really aggrieved at this time."

Li Shimin also couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, "I think that Zhixuan is brave and intrepid. If you use Zhixuan's talent to defeat him without any effort, but now he is chasing him, you must be angry."

Everyone around him laughed when they heard the words.

Duan Da was very decisive. After Yang Ping confirmed that the Tang army was indeed short of food, he no longer had any scruples. Immediately, the whole army pressed forward and chased after him. In fact, Duan Da was also afraid that Zhang Zhi would charge too fast. Zhongfu again.

To win is to be beautiful, this is Duan Da's pride.

After Duan Da's army chased after him, an inconspicuous spot in the forest not far away moved quietly. It was Tang Jun's elite scout.

In Jinping Mountain, in a hidden valley, thousands of Tang soldiers cuddled closely, each with a mouthful of horses, not daring to make a sound.

"General, the entire Sui army has gone to chase the governor, and the defense of Yiyang City has been greatly reduced," the scout came to report.

"It's time for me, Lu Jun'er, to make a contribution." The general in charge was overjoyed when he heard this, and this person was obviously Lu Jun'er.

"Brothers, I have been nesting in this ravine all night, now go with me to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds to warm up your body." Lu Jun'er raised his spear and shouted. The five thousand Tang soldiers are elites. Yiyang City.

Yiyang City was originally the old capital of Korea during the Warring States Period, and its scale was larger than that of ordinary county towns. There are not only Guocheng City, but also Miyagi City in the center of the city. It is the palace of the King of Han. It is now the county government. city ​​gate.

Even in normal times, there are only one or two thousand county soldiers stationed in Yiyang City. After Li Mi rushed to Luoyang, Wang Shichong dispatched young and strong men from various counties in Henan County to Luoyang.

1000 people guarding such a large Yiyang City is already stretched. Yang Ping, the captain of the city gate, followed Duan Da with 200 guards from the headquarters. Now the huge Yiyang City has only about 800 defenders.

Moreover, these 800 people were distributed in the seven city gates, and the county government also had soldiers guarding them. When Lu Jun'er's five thousand elites appeared outside Yiyang City like magic soldiers descending from heaven, the hundred or so Sui soldiers in Ximen were dumbfounded.

The hundred or so soldiers defending the city were not even the regular Sui army, but soldiers recruited by the county. Wherever they had seen this battle, they immediately surrendered under the leadership of the centurion.

At this time, it was only two hours before Duan Da left the city, and it was time to change the head of Yiyang city, and the Tang flag was flying high.

Lu Jun'e immediately dispersed the soldiers in the county and guarded the four outer gates with all his strength to prevent Duan Da's troops from returning to the army.

But obviously, Duan Da didn't put his mind on Yiyang City now, he just wanted to kill Zhang Zhi at the moment.

Because of Zhang Zhixiong's arrogance, he pursued Duan Zhixuan's troops with arrogance, and passed this mountain without any damage. When General Duan arrived here, he was almost smashed into meat paste by the stones that fell from the sky.

In this way, General Duan's mount was also smashed to death. Fortunately, Yang Ping changed horses, and Duan Da was furious.

　I am busy jumping back home, and I will rush back to Shenzhen tomorrow night. When I get back to Shenzhen, I will find a chance to add a new chapter. I have been too hasty these days, and I hope my brother will forgive me.
