The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 330 The Brave General Appears

Dou Jiande felt that the opportunity had come, and this was a good time for him to go south in a big way, expand his territory and strengthen his strength.Therefore, it was decided to send troops in two directions. On the east side, Gao Yaxian, a general with both civil and military skills, was sent as the marshal, and Sun Pulin was the deputy general. They led [-] troops eastward to Shandong, took over Dezhou and Binzhou, and assisted Yu Wenhua and the troops against Yang Yong.

The road to the south is his main force, led by Dou Jiande himself, with counselors Liu Ya, Fan Yuan, generals Wang Xiaohu, Cao Zhan, Dong Kangmai, etc., a 20-strong army marched to Weijun, intending to take Liyang, take Xingyang, take Luoyang, and seek a prosperous place in the Central Plains.

Liu Heita, guarding Weijun, saw that it was finally the day. He smoked a gourd of wine in the barracks and said, "Brothers, follow me and kill his mother!"

A commander came over and persuaded: "General, the prince's troops have not arrived yet, we sent troops without authorization, what should the prince do if he wants to blame us?"

"Bullshit!" Liu Heitai patted the commander-in-chief on the head, "We will attack the city for the lord, and the lord will blame us? Unless we lose the battle, but that's impossible! Listen to me..." Liu Hei Kai leaned on the commander's ear and whispered a few words, the commander kept his head and went out of the tent, the commander was still muttering, it turned out that our general had scouted out the enemy's situation long ago, but this trick worked well ?

After Liu Heikai sent the commander-in-chief away, he put on his whole body, and ordered someone to bring a black horse, picked up a zhangba snake spear, and flew on the horse, leaving [-] soldiers and horses to guard Wei County, and only dispatched [-] soldiers and horses. Ambushes outside Liyang City.

After the commander-in-chief pretended to be Li Mi's men and horses to open the gate of the city, Liu Heitai suddenly led his troops out, and with a single shot, he picked up the ten thousand commanders guarding Liyang, and quickly seized the city with 3000 troops. At that time, the soldiers and horses in the city saw that the main general was killed in battle, and the soldiers' hearts were scattered. They either died in battle or surrendered. Only a very small number escaped from the city to send a letter to Li Mi.

This battle was fought beautifully, 4000 broke [-], Liu Heitai took down Li Yang with only a small price, and captured more than [-] horses from the opponent, and the captured spoils piled up like a mountain.When he was resting in Liyang to regroup the prisoners, Qu Tutong, who was recovering from his injuries, led an army of [-] troops to the city.

It turned out that Qu Tutong was very angry when he heard that the other party had captured Li Yang with only 3000 troops. He immediately led 4 troops from Muye to kill Li Yang, intending to recapture Li Yang.

Qu Tutong went to the city to scold, but Liu Heikai ignored him, closed the four doors, hung the suspension bridge high, and ordered the soldiers to drink and eat meat at the top of the city. The smoky atmosphere seemed to be nothing to the 4 people who looked down upon them.

However, Qu Tutong happened to be not stupefied, anger turns to anger, anger turns to anger, but he didn't dare to attack the city rashly.This was right in the middle of Liu Heitai's strategy, and he missed a good opportunity, and more importantly, he was frustrated!
When Dou Jiande's brigade was not far from Liyang, Liu Heikai led his army and rushed out of the city. Qu Tutong, who had not recovered from his injuries, had to fight. The morale of the army was scattered, and the soldiers ran faster. This time, 4 people were killed and defeated by thousands of others.

This defeat could not hold back, and Dou Jiande's brigade was in the rear, and Liu Heita led the troops in hot pursuit.After several battles, Qu Tutong realized how powerful Liu Heizhen was. This Liu Heita was desperate to fight. He always took the lead and was extremely fierce.A strong general has no weak soldiers, and his soldiers are all fierce, so he is invincible and invincible. He took over a dozen states and counties including Muye in one fell swoop. Qu Tutong's 4 horsemen were defeated while fighting, and finally lost more than half of them. , With the remnants of the defeated generals, they retreated to Xingyang.Liu Heitai chased him all the way to the bank of the Yellow River before taking in his soldiers and horses.

After the Battle of Liyang, Liu Heitai became famous in the first battle. Those generals who looked down on him before, no matter whether they were civil or military, were all convinced now. The momentum is like a broken bamboo, and the battle line has been pushed hundreds of miles towards the opponent. This is not by luck, but by strength!
Dou Jiande was overjoyed, he didn't expect the battle to go so smoothly, and his 20 horsemen attacked Yang Yong's large territory without bloodshed.What was even more unexpected was that Liu Heitai was so powerful that he defeated the enemy consecutively with only a few thousand soldiers.It seems that this Liu Heikai is not only a general, but also brave and good at fighting, rich in strategy, and handsome enough. God let such a great talent join me, Dou Jiande, God help me!To know this, I just hand over the 20 soldiers and horses directly to his command, so I don't have to go out in person.

Therefore, in the barracks on the bank of the Yellow River, Dou Jiande immediately rewarded Liu Heita, named him a brave general, and ordered the three armies to congratulate him, and Dou Jiande personally served Liu Heita.

Of course Liu Heitai was more happy. This victory won the trust of King Xia Ming and the respect of all the generals. It can be said that he has gained both fame and fortune. Therefore, at the banquet, he grinned and laughed, and he and Dou Jiande also Not seeing outside, toasting frequently and talking loudly.

It's strange to say that no matter what Liu Heita says, others are obedient and submissive, and he is so convinced that he is completely different from a few days ago.In the past, if Liu Heita dared to talk so eloquently and boastfully in front of King Dou, people would definitely scold him in the face, but now he is right to say whatever he says, and he doesn't say what he says!
Even Liu Heita himself was a little puzzled. I, Liu Heita, have not changed and I am still the same Liu Heita. It's only been a few days. Didn't I just win a few battles?How can there be such a big change?Liu Heitai doesn't know, he hasn't changed, but the key is that his status has changed, from an ordinary general whom others look down on, to a unique and brave general under Dou Jiande, just as the so-called authority and authority, there is Power comes with prestige, power comes with prestige!Don't say that it was not the case in the society of the twentieth century more than 1000 years ago? !
Of course Liu Heitai couldn't figure this out, so he didn't think about it, he was just happy, and ended up getting drunk.

Dou Jiande didn't blame him either, and asked his personal guards to wait for him to rest, and then discussed with his counselors Liu Ya and Fan Yuan how to take Xingyang and Luoyang. There are less than [-] troops defending the Yongnan Bank. It is no problem to take Xingyang and Luoyang. The key now is to cross the river. Before the river is frozen, hurry up and repair the warships.

As a result, Dou Jiande's camp was busy. Soldiers began to collect warships, cut wood, and invited skilled craftsmen to repair the warships.

The scout generals reported these military information to Wei Zheng, and after Wei Zheng led his men and horses to survey the terrain, he discussed countermeasures with the generals.Qu Tu said: "Military division, we even counted the troops stationed in Xingyang, there are only more than 8 people, and the enemy has 20. What's more, Dou Jiande has a lot of strong men, especially Liu Heita, who is fierce and invincible. People, we have few soldiers and our morale has been seriously frustrated. The last general thinks that it is better to ask the prince for help. If Xingyang is lost, Luoyang will be in danger!"

General Wu Tianxi dismissed it and said: "Military Master, the prince is now attacking Shanxi. It is thousands of miles away, and the water in the distance will not quench your thirst. A mere 20 soldiers and horses are nothing to worry about, and Liu Heitai is nothing special. As long as he dares to Come on, the general must make him a ghost under the hood!"
