The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 383 Attacking Liu Wuzhou

Chai Shao just woke up like a dream, and gave an order, leading the horse, with Li Shimin and Li Yuanba on the left, Changsun Wuji and Li Xiaogong on the right, these tiger generals charged in front, followed by ten thousand troops, shouting to kill the Turkic team.The Sui army hadn't been so elated for a long time. In a scuffle outside the city of Bingzhou, the Turkic soldiers were defeated and defeated, with corpses lying all over the ground and blood flowing like rivers.

When the two sides were fighting outside the city, Li Xiuning had already been reported to the scout.Because the meeting is tomorrow night's internal and external cooperation to rescue people and break through, Li Xiuning's people must move to Bingzhou in advance.At this time, after receiving the report, Li Xiuning, who was not far from the north gate of Bingzhou, thought that there was a change in the city, so he decided to act in advance. Outside the door joined the fight.

As a result, this battle was not only defeated by the [-] Turkic soldiers, but also caused Lian Suo's reaction.Hong Hai was in charge of the front outside the north gate of Bingzhou. Once the main general died, the dragons were unguarded and the morale of the army was scattered.As a result, the entire north gate of Bingzhou surrounded by Liu Wuzhou was torn open.Liu Wuzhou's troops receded to both sides like an ebbing tide.

Li Shentong on the top of the city saw the fighter plane coming, and led more than [-] soldiers out of the city, and joined forces with Li Xiuning and Chai Shao to chase and kill Liu Wuzhou's men.

Hong Hai was killed in battle, and the North Gate mutated, which shocked Liu Wuzhou.Once Hong Hai died, it was equivalent to removing his pillars. Liu Wuzhou was in a daze and almost lost his position. After discussing with Song Jingang, it was meaningless to besiege the city now, so they withdrew the siege, but they were bitten by the Sui army Don't let it go, the battle lasted for more than three hours. As a result, Liu Wuzhou's 3 army lost more than [-] horses, and there were very few of the [-] Turkic cavalry left.

Liu Wuzhou was defeated, and finally, under the protection of Song Jingang, Yu Chigong and other soldiers, he retreated to Fenyang with the defeated soldiers.Then, Liu Wuzhou asked general Yu Chigong to guard Loufan, general Li Tinggui to guard Dingxiang, and Song Jingang to guard the capital, namely Fenyang, to continue the confrontation with the Sui Dynasty.

The siege of Bingzhou was unbelievably resolved in this way. Emperor Gong of the Sui Dynasty and all civil and military officials, including Lao Li's family, were in danger, and they didn't have to pack up and abandon the city to flee. Everyone, including the people in the city, was happy now.Because Liu Wuzhou's reputation is not good, the military discipline is loose, and robbery happened frequently in the places where he went, the common people regard Liu Wuzhou's men and horses as bandits, which is totally meaningless to the people.

The highest achievement is saving the driver. Li Shimin, Li Yuanba, Li Xiaogong, and Changsun Wuji and other four young generals became famous in the first battle, and their contributions are indispensable. In particular, Li Shimin and Li Yuanba were personally received by the mother and son of Emperor Gong of Sui Dynasty. In front of the officials, the emperor personally named the two of them General Zhenwei.Although General Zhenwei was not a big official, he received the imperial seal. He was the youngest imperial general in the Sui Dynasty.Changsun Wuji and Li Xiaogong also each received promotions.The four young generals can be said to have risen steadily, and suddenly became generals in the army, famous all over the city.

Gao Shilian, a minister of the Sui Dynasty, looked at Li Shimin's future and valued him very much. After discussing with his nephew and grandson Wuji, he betrothed his niece and grandson Ruhua, who was his sister, to Li Shimin as his wife.The eldest grandson brother and sister lost their father when they were young, and were later adopted by their uncle. Gao Shilian also spent a lot of money on these two children, inviting famous teachers to teach them civil and martial arts. A lady, knowledgeable and courteous, very virtuous, and capable of playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Because the emperor asked for approval (the emperor was young, in fact it was the queen mother who agreed), this can be regarded as a royal marriage, and Li Yuan's wife is of course happy. get married.

Although the siege of Bingzhou was lifted, Bingzhou was not safe because Liu Wuzhou of Fenyang was still eyeing Bingzhou.

Chai Shen and Li Shentong convened the generals to discuss countermeasures. Li Xiuning advocated sticking to Bingzhou and taking the initiative to attack Liu Wuzhou, so that this guy who defected to the enemy and betrayed his ancestors would be completely set off. Li Shentong agreed.

Li Shimin added: "Liu Wuzhou's Bingzhou army was defeated, and thousands of Tartars including the Turkic governor Hong Hai were killed. Ji Li Khan was very dissatisfied with Liu Wuzhou. Liu Wuzhou, who lost the support of the Turks, was like a bird with its wings broken, and could attack Liu Wuzhou. But Fenyang and Lou Fenyang has become horns, and when we attack Fenyang, we will inevitably be attacked by the defenders of Loufan, so we should send troops from two directions, conquering Fenyang and Loufan at the same time, so that they can't take care of each other."

Chai Shen and Li Shentong complimented each other. It is really rare for a 16-year-old boy who just joined the army to have such profound insights. Even military experts like Li Xiuning and Chai Shao were amazed and impressed by this little brother.

After the agreement, Chai Shen and Li Shen informed the emperor to agree to divide the troops and send generals.In addition to the soldiers and horses that Li Xiuning came to support, the total force that can be deployed in Bingzhou City is only 14 horses. Bingzhou is now the capital of the Sui Dynasty.Therefore, Chai Shen and Li Shentong brought 8 troops to defend Bingzhou with Xue Renguo who had not recovered from their injuries, and were responsible for defending the enemy in Dingxiang; let Li Xiuning and Chai Shao lead [-] troops to attack Fenyang with general Shi Baoshan; Li Yuanba, Changsun Wuji, Li Xiaogong and other young generals led [-] troops to attack the building.

Apparently, the main force of the deployment of troops this time was in Fenyang, and Li Shimin's 1 troops were just partial divisions. Their mission was not to attack the city and take the counties, but to involve the people living in the building and prevent them from making trouble in Bingzhou or Fenyang.However, the defender of Loufan is Yu Chigong, who has 2 troops under him, and his bravery is no less than that of Hong Hai.Therefore, after discussing with Li Shentong, Chai Shen dispatched the most powerful young general Li Yuanba to Li Shimin in order to deal with Yu Chigong.

Li Shimin accepted the order gladly, and as the chief general for the first time, he set off excitedly with his troops.

Bingzhou is not far from Fenyang, so the news of Bingzhou sending troops quickly spread to Liu Wuzhou.Liu Wuzhou now hates and fears Li Xiuning's sister and brother. Originally, the capture of Bingzhou was just around the corner. It was precisely because of the arrival of this brother and sister that disrupted all his plans, causing him to turn victory into defeat, lose his troops, and fall into a deadlock. Hong Hai was killed in battle, and the [-] Turkic soldiers will almost be killed or injured. How to explain to the Turkic Geely Khan?Can his old man agree?
Liu Wuzhou was worrying about this matter, when Li Xiuning's troops came again, he hurriedly ascended to Yin'an Palace, and summoned civil and military officials to discuss how to deal with the enemy.

In such an occasion, other people are less talkative, so it depends on King Song.Song Jingang came out of the squad and saluted: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the soldiers will stop you, and the water will come to the earth, and the general will be willing to send troops to meet the witch Li Xiuning."

Liu Wuzhou is overjoyed, this brother-in-law is what he can count on now.So Song Jingang, governor of Song Dynasty, was asked to fight Li Xiuning.

Song Jingang left 5 troops to sit in the capital (here refers to Fenyang), and then he personally raised [-] troops to leave Fenyang East and set up a battlefield in Wenshui County (today's Wenshui County, Shanxi Province).

Song Jingang is indeed not simple. He adopts the strategy of waiting for work with ease, sticks to hydrology, strengthens the city defense, and lives in seclusion without fighting.Li Xiuning's continuous attack was fruitless for several days, and the two sides were in a confrontational situation.While Song Jingang was defending the city, he was not idle, but ordered Yu Chigong of Loufan to send troops to harass Li Xiuning's rear, attacking back and forth, in order to achieve the goal of winning.

After Yu Chigong got the order, he left 5000 troops to guard the building, and personally raised [-] soldiers, who rushed to Wenshui in a mighty manner.
