The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 355 Battle of Mingshui (10)

Just after the fourth watch, Liu Heita's army suddenly rushed towards the south gate, not only killing Wu Tianxi by surprise, but even the military advisor Li Jing was also caught off guard.Yang Yong's army deployed in the besieged city at the South Gate, that is, Wu Tianxi's department, was quickly torn a big hole.

However, Li Jing was very calm. After finding out the approximate number of Liu Heita's troops and the number of soldiers, he discussed with Yang Yong and decided to let Liu Heita's troops in, and then go to the besieged city to catch them all.Therefore, Wu Tianxi did not wait for reinforcements, but received an order to retreat.

The strategy of Yang Yong and Li Jing is not wrong, but Dou Jiande and Liu Heitai are not idle people. As the saying goes, the height of the Tao is one foot, and the height of the devil is one foot. Liu Heitai did not intend to enter the city at all, but wanted to cooperate with Dou Jiandeli and break through overnight .Although they hadn't contacted beforehand, Dou Jiande in the city already knew about the battle outside the city, with flames everywhere and shouts of killing.

In fact, Dou Jiande didn't rest at all in the city, even though he was exhausted to death, from morning till now, he lost a battle, and 40 or 7 people retreated to Mingshui town overnight, leaving only [-] to [-] people, what a tragedy!Fortunately, General Gao Yaxian returned to Dou Jiande's side.

The reason why they chose to return to Mingshui was the last resort. Because Su Dingfang set up an ambush to intercept Dou Jiande lost his troops again and lost his generals. The hope of returning to Jizhou was shattered, so they had to go to Mingshui small county to temporarily stop their troops before making plans.But, who knows, Yang Yong and Li Jing didn't give them a chance to breathe, they chased them all night and surrounded the city.

At this time, Dou Jiande was besieged on all sides, in a desperate situation, how could he have the mind to rest, and asked his soldiers to step up the defense of the city and strengthen the city defense.

Because Mingshui is a small county town, not to mention the height of the city and the depth of the pond, there is no danger to defend at all. The only thing to do is to prepare a lot of defensive objects such as rolling logs, stones, bows and arrows. Defend the city at all costs.

[-] to [-] soldiers were busy working overnight, fought a day and midnight battle, and traveled for dozens of miles. Now they have to do heavy work and have no rest, so many soldiers are too tired to get up. Afraid of being whipped and beheaded by the officials, they gritted their teeth and held on.

Some soldiers fell asleep while cutting trees, and some soldiers were carrying stones and logs, and fell to the ground with a plop, dead from exhaustion.The soldiers and generals were miserable, but no one dared to say anything. They could only greet the eight generations of Dou Jiande's ancestors one by one in their hearts.

Of course Dou Jiande, Gao Yaxian and Dong Kangmai are not idle. Although Dong Kangmai is seriously injured now, he still has to persevere.

The three discussed countermeasures in the tent.After discussing and discussing, they felt that there were only two hopes of surviving the siege. One was Liu Heita who came to rescue and took away 10 troops to attack Mingzhou. It can solve the urgent need.But they don't know Liu Heita's situation, how the war in Mingzhou is going, and where Liu Heita is now, because they are trapped in the city, they can't get any information.The second is the East Route Army of Fan Yuan, Cao Zhan, and Sun Linpu, but these 10 people are far away in Shandong, and the water in the distance cannot quench their thirst.So those two points of hope are pretty slim.

In the end, Gao Yaxian advocated that while defending the city, he ordered people to go to Mingzhou and Shandong to send letters to Liu Heita and Fan Yuan, telling them to return to the army to capture the king.But the general who broke into the company couldn't decide, Gao Yaxian took on this important task, but who should the other send?Dong Kangmai was seriously injured, and entering the camp was tantamount to death. The other generals were mediocre, and it was difficult for them to be responsible, so it would be impossible for Dou Jiande to risk himself to enter the camp!
When they were in trouble, a pot boiled outside Mingshuinan City, and the shouts of killing were earth-shattering.The three of them were taken aback for a moment, thinking that Yang Yong was forcibly attacking the city overnight, so they quickly dressed up and planned to go to the city to supervise the battle and defend the city in person.

Just at this time, someone ran in to report: "Report to the lord, there is a troop outside the south gate, and they are fighting with Yang Yong's soldiers and horses, they look like our troops!"

The three of them were surprised and happy when they heard it, but fearing that it was Yang Yong and Li Jing's plan, they quickly took their guards to the top of the south gate to watch carefully. In the light of the fire, they saw Liu Heita, Liu Shishan, Zhang Junli, etc. People, after cross-checking, found it correct, and Dou Jiande was overjoyed.

Surprised, Dong Kangmai demanded to open the city quickly and bring Liu Heita and others into the city.At this time, Liu Heita and others called them outside the city to break through quickly.After discussing with Gao Yaxian, Dou Jiande decided to seize the opportunity to break out overnight.

In this way, Dou Jiande mobilized all the soldiers and horses, opened the city gate and fought out.Together, Dou Jiande and Liu Heita had more than [-] troops.Moreover, these people were fighting like trapped beasts, all of them rushed out with the determination to kill each other.

Li Jing and Yang Yong couldn't see it well, so they quickly mobilized soldiers to encircle them. Just like this, the two sides started another desperate struggle outside the South City.This fierce battle tore through the silence of the night, and the two sides invested more than 20 troops, fighting from the fourth watch to the afternoon.God still has eyes, and under the protection of Liu Heita and others, Dou Jiande finally made a bloody road and fled to Jizhou.

Two days later, when they got rid of the pursuit of Yang Yong's men and arrived at the city of Jizhou, Dou Jiande still had 6000 to [-] men and horses, many of whom were wounded.Only Liu Heita, Liu Shishan, and Zhang Junli were left as generals. Gao Yaxian and Dong Kangmai all died in the rebellion.

What's more serious is that Dou Jiande was injured in the back by the flow arrow, sometimes awake, sometimes coma, high fever persists.Although Liu Heitai was also bruised and bruised all over his body, relying on his rough skin and thick flesh, he gritted his teeth and persisted.

There were still [-] soldiers defending the city in Jizhou, and the chief general was Dou Jiande's general Gao Yun. After Gao Yun took them into Jizhou, he quickly called a military doctor to treat the wounds of the two and treat the other wounded.

Liu Heikai rested in Jizhou for three days, and his 6000 troops slept for two days, not to mention those wounded.These people seemed to have lost their souls. Once they relaxed their minds, they lay down like living dead. They couldn't wake up no matter how hard they woke up. It took three days for them to return to normal.

Of course, there are not a few of those who were seriously injured and died after medical treatment failed.Among them was Xiaming King Dou Jianxing, which was the biggest change in Jizhou City in the past three days.

Dou Jian lost a lot of blood due to injury, and after dragging the orphan Liu Heikai, he drove west with a crane.Liu Heikai wailed loudly, knelt in front of Dou Jiande's body, and swore again that he would kill Yang Yong and Li Jing to avenge Dou Jiande.

After being persuaded by the generals, Liu Heita sent an order for the whole city to mourn.Headed by Liu Heikai, tens of thousands of soldiers wore hemp and filial piety, buried Dou Jiande generously, and then discussed with Liu Shishan and Zhang Junli that Jizhou was no longer wanted, and brought the 1 troops back to Dezhou, Shandong, and then fought with Fan Yuan's Dongdong The soldiers of the Lu army joined together and supported Liu Heikai as the king of Shandong, Fan Yuan as the military adviser, Cao Qi, Sun Linpu, Liu Shishan and Zhang Junli as the generals, and more than [-] people were dying, planning to make a comeback.
