The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 399 Battle against the Single Whip General
After Yang Yong took down Dongping, he rested his troops for three days, and let Qu Tutong, who had followed up in time, guard Dongping, and then sent troops to Lujun (now Jining, Shandong).After passing Lu County, there are Wuyang County (now in the area of ​​Liaocheng, Shandong) and Tai'an Prefecture. After these three prefectures are taken down, it will be Licheng, the capital of Han Dongguo (now Jinan, Shandong).

Tan Ma and Xu Yuanlang's remnants reported the news of the battle to Liu Heita in Licheng.Liu Heitai, who had been addicted to the emperor for a few days, was also taken aback when he heard that Xu Yuanlang had suffered such a miserable defeat in Tianqiao, and hurriedly summoned the Wenwu Shengdian to discuss the military situation.

After the civil and military generals of the capital arrived, they shouted long live, and after paying homage, they set up hatchbacks.Liu Heikai looked at the ministers, and said calmly: "My dear friends, Tianqiao was defeated, King Lu was killed, and his [-] army was almost wiped out. Soldiers and horses are so powerful, it is really unexpected, tell me, what can I do?"

All the generals bowed their heads and remained silent, and Prime Minister Fan Yuan came out of the class and knelt down to play: "Qizou Your Majesty, I did not agree to use troops against Yang and Li at the same time, because I have just established a country in Handong, and my strength is still very limited. , Establishing too many powerful enemies like this will be very detrimental to His Majesty's country, but King Yan..."

"Okay!" Liu Heikai interrupted Fan Yuan impatiently, "Prime Minister, what we are discussing now is how to deal with Yang Yong's men, not to investigate faults. Besides, King Yan Qiansui has been in full swing, taking down Cangzhou and Shanggu successively. In Hezhuo County and other places, that old fellow Luo Yi has been defeated again and again, and half of Youzhou has already belonged to our territory of Han Dongguo, what's wrong with that?"

"My minister is guilty." Fan Yuan hurriedly stopped.

"Prime Minister, do you have a strategy to retreat from the enemy?" Although Liu Heikai thinks that Fan Yuan is always a little cautious, like walking on thin ice, he has no doubts about his strategy, otherwise, Dou Jiande would not have mentioned him as equal to Liu Ya Important position.

Fan Yuan once again saluted and said: "Your Majesty, Yang Yong is definitely not someone in the pool. He has been suspended for another three years, and his strength can be imagined. According to my humble opinion, the most urgent thing is to shrink the front of the army and bring King Yan back. After dealing with Yang Yong, it will not be too late to attack Li Tang, I hope Your Majesty will think twice."

"Well, okay. Let Zhunqing play." Liu Heita thought for a while, and finally made a decision. He quickly drew up the Taoist edict, sent someone to ride a fast horse to Zhuo County, and transferred Yan Wang Gao Kaida back and forth to guard against Yang. Brave soldiers and horses.

Gao Kaida didn't dare to neglect after receiving the order, and after leaving [-] elite soldiers in Zhuo County, he raised an army of [-] to serve the king.When Gao Kaida's men arrived in Licheng, Yang Yong's men had already taken down Lu County.The East of the Han Dynasty was shaken, and Liu Heitai also obviously felt the pressure. He sent Gao Kaidao, the King of Yan, to garrison Tai'an. The two groups of soldiers and horses plus the defenders of the two counties totaled more than [-] horses and confronted Yang Yong's army.

Yang Yong knew that Liu Heita was a difficult opponent, so he decided to stabilize him first.After discussing with the generals, they also divided the troops into two groups, letting Qu Tutong and Yang Yuling lead [-] troops to pretend to attack Wuyang, and told them not to seek meritorious deeds, but to seek no faults, as long as they involved Liu Heita's troops.

Then Yang Yong took three beautiful wives and commanded 5 cavalry soldiers to Tai'an. He wanted to concentrate on cutting off Liu Heita's troops with high wings and clear paths.

Because, Yang Yong has figured it out, this Gao Kaidao can be regarded as a historical celebrity, a hero.According to historical records, he defeated Luo Yi and Li Tang's soldiers and horses, and later proclaimed himself emperor. Undoubtedly, this is also a difficult opponent.He and Liu Heitai are like horns to each other, it's really hard to deal with him if he doesn't take this method.

Ten miles away from Tai'an Prefecture, Yang Yong chose favorable terrain to set up camp.The next day, Yang Yong was fighting against the enemy near the moat. There was not much time. The Suspension Bridge at the West Gate of Tai'an was lowered, the gate was lifted, and the city gate was opened wide. formation.

Yang Yong saw that the high-level men and horses were also miscellaneous troops. In addition to the Eastern Han Army, there were also Turkic troops and Mohe troops. These can be seen from their banners and the uniforms of the soldiers. It can be distinguished from the above, after all, these barbarians in the Northeast are different from the Han people.

When Yang Yong was looking for the main general in the opposite army formation, a horse from the enemy formation flew out, rushed to the front of the two armies to call for battle, and once again nominated Dao's surname for Yang Yong to fight.

The three beauties and wives were going to fight again, this time Yang Yong rejected them, wars are for men, how could he always let his own women fight?Just let them fight for a couple of rounds to find out how they feel. I haven't fought a war for three years, and my palms are itchy. Today, let's see if my passion gun has improved or regressed in the past three years.

Thinking of this, Yang Yong ordered the archers to shoot and let the three beautiful wives watch the battle for him. His legs clamped the horse. This thousand-mile rouge beast, like his master, also wanted to gallop on the battlefield long ago, so he got After the master's command, he kicked his four hooves apart, turned his hooves and clapped his palms, as if flying through the clouds and fog, a red line went straight to the enemy general.

The general who faced Yang Yong was none other than Sun Linpu, the defender of Tai'an Prefecture. He was from the same hometown as Dou Jiande and Liu Heitai, and he had a close friendship with Dou Jiande in particular.

A few years ago, Sun Linpu was conscripted to Yuyang to attack Goguryeo. Sun Linpu did not want to be a soldier. The battalion officer who killed the Sui soldiers was raided by the Sui soldiers and arrested everywhere. It was Dou Jiande who rescued him at a critical moment and sent him to the Under Gao Shida's command, Dou Jiande also revolted later and joined Gao Shida's team. Yang Guang sent Yang Yichen to encircle and suppress. After the defeat, he and Sun Linpu occupied Gaojibo. The Sui army rushed out of the reed marshes, attacked the city and occupied the vast area in southern Hebei.During this period, Sun Linpu has always been Dou Jiande's left arm and right wall. In terms of martial prowess, this man is no less than Liu Heitai, and a steel whip makes the enemy frightened.

After Dou Jiande's defeat, Sun Linpu wanted to avenge Dou Jiande wholeheartedly, so he followed Liu Heita.Hearing that Yang Yong's soldiers entered Dongping, he had long wanted to take the initiative to fight Yang Yong to the death, but Liu Heitai had a holy order, and he was not allowed to fight because there were no high-level men and horses, so he endured it until now.

Seeing that Yang Yong really gave himself face and went to battle, Sun Linpu's eyes were red, and he smashed the [-]-section steel whip in the hand of the war horse.

Just looking at the weapon in the hands of this general, Yang Yong knew that he was a strong general. The whip weapon was different from the mace. It was shorter than long weapons such as spears and broadswords, but longer than short weapons such as swords and maces. Moreover, this is a kind of soft and hard weapon. It takes a lot of effort to practice it well, but if you don't practice it well, let alone hitting the enemy, you will hurt yourself first.

Therefore, there are not many generals who use whips on the battlefield. Before crossing, Yang Yong had heard in film and television novels, such as the double whip Hu Yanzhuo, the iron whip king Hu Yanzan, etc. After crossing, Yang Yong can be regarded as experienced in many battles, but There are only a handful of generals who make this weapon.With this weapon alone, Yang Yong dare not underestimate him.

Seeing that the steel whip rushed towards his head with a strong wind and fell down, Yang Yong hurriedly threw his big gun to parry.But Yang Yong knew that he had to pay attention to this kind of soft but hard weapon. He had to block the head of the whip. If he blocked the body of the whip, the head of the whip could still hurt himself.

It was too late, but it was too soon, the whips and guns collided, and there was a loud bang, and the eighteen-section steel whip in Sun Linpu's hand flew into the sky...
