The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 493
When Yang Yong rushed into the city gate, Yang Yuling, Luo Shiying, and Princess Yujing were trapped at the city gate by Tang Jun. It turned out that Luo Shiying and Princess Yujing also led the female battalion soldiers to kill the city after completing their respective divisions of labor, but Tang Jun More and more gathered, and when Yang Yong's men arrived, there were very few of the 69 female battalion soldiers left.

Yang Yong waved his big gun and broke the siege of the three beauties and wives. At this time, someone from the rebel army brought all three of their horses and weapons. Yang Yuling, Luo Shiying and Princess Yujing flew on their horses, each armed with a sword and gun like a tiger with wings, and started fighting with the Tang army. .

The four opened the way in front, and more than 3 rebels were unstoppable and rushed into the city. The Tang army in the Ximen area couldn't resist and fled one after another.

At this time, Li Yuanba and Li Shimin led people to kill them.It turned out that Li Shimin woke up in his sleep, and after getting the report, he was so frightened that he was out of his wits. How did the rebels enter the city?Did they grow wings?When he learned about the man in black climbing the city, Li Shimin became restless, and he and Li Yuanba gathered troops to attack the west city, and the two sides encountered each other on the street.

Under the night, the torches were shaking, the shouts of killing shook the sky, many places in the city were on fire, and the sky above Yucheng turned red.Tens of thousands of horses fought in a melee, Li Yuanba smashed his horses and swung his hammer to attack Yang Yong, who killed him with his big gun. After more than 20 rounds, Yang Yuling rushed up to help out with a knife, and the two fought against Li Yuanba.

Li Shimin was afraid that his brother would lose, so he broke his horse and twisted his gun to come up to help, but was stopped by Princess Yujing and Luo Shiying, and the three of them were killed together.

After more than a dozen rounds, Li Yuanba was defeated by the two of them and pulled away. Li Shimin was also defeated by Princess Yujing and Luo Shiying. With the three beautiful wives leading the rebels to pursue, the Tang army was like an ebbing tide, unable to hold back.

Seeing that the general situation was over, Li Shimin and Li Yuanba protected Du Ruhui and retreated out of the south gate to Jeju with the remnants of the defeated army. At dawn, Yang Yong's men occupied Yucheng.

In this battle, more than 8000 Tang troops were annihilated, and [-] of them were captured.Of course, if one thousand enemies were killed, eight hundred would be self-injured, and the rebel army would also pay the price of seven to eight thousand casualties.But after all, they won the battle. Yang Yong ordered people to rescue the wounded, set up city defenses, and clean up the battlefield. They were rewarded according to their merits. The three beautiful wives took the lead.

After a short rest in Yucheng, Luo Shiying was left with [-] troops to defend Yucheng, and Yang Yong, Yang Yuling, and Princess Yujing led an army of [-] to kill Jeju.

Jeju is different from Yucheng. This is the prefectural city of Shandong, also known as Licheng. The prefecture is located in Jinan, Shandong today.The city of Jeju is high and deep, and the four city gates are suspension bridges, Qianjin gates, and city gates. The three lines of defense are as solid as gold.

Yang Yong's soldiers approached the city, no matter how he called for the formation, Li Shimin couldn't stick to it.After this battle, Li Yuanba became a lot more honest, because he fought Yang Yong several times, but he didn't get any advantage.Yang Yong did not attack by force, and set up camp ten miles outside the city.For half a month, neither side fought.

At this time, Wei Zheng, Qin Qiong, and Cheng Yaojin's 3 troops chased and killed Li Jiancheng's troops, even conquering Weijun and Mingshui, and forming a line with Xu Maogong's troops in southern Shanxi.

Li Jing led Li Wan'er and Qu Tutong led 10,000 troops to pursue Li Yuan's men and occupied Dingzhou. In this way, the rebel army's three-way army of 10,000+ formed a semi-encircled situation in the south and east of Bingzhou.Although Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng's [-]+ troops safely retreated to Bingzhou and firmly defended Jinzhong, they obviously felt the pressure.Therefore, after discussing with Wen Wu, Li Yuan hurriedly won three gold medals and called Li Shimin back to the army.

Now Li Shimin was not calm anymore, he did not dare to resist the order, and he was more aware of the seriousness of the consequences, and if there was a mistake in Bingzhou, Datang would be over.What's more, Li Jing occupied Dingzhou. If he sent troops to the north again and took over Zhuo County, his retreat would be cut off, and he would have nowhere to retreat at that time.

Therefore, after discussing with Du Ruhui, Li Shimin and Du Ruhui gave up Jeju overnight, and withdrew all the soldiers and horses from Dongying, Gaoqing, Huantai and other counties in Shandong. Yang Yong was overjoyed after hearing the news, and recovered these states without bloodshed In the county, Li Shimin's soldiers and horses retreated to Cangzhou, and Yang Yong's soldiers and horses followed.

At this time, the weather was not good, and heavy snow fell in Hebei, Shanxi and other places, and the roads were frozen. Seeing that the New Year was approaching, Yang Yong ordered all the soldiers and horses to stay behind to defend the fortress and return to Daxing City.

At this time, Fang Xuanling also came back with good news. Li Shimin ordered Cangzhou to be guarded, and brought Fangmou Duduan and Li Yuanba back to Bingzhou with 3 troops.

At this point, the first confrontation between Li Tang and Yang Yong's rebel armies came to an end temporarily. The two sides fought for a year. The Tang army finally ended in failure, losing a large area of ​​land in southern Shanxi and southern Hebei, and nearly 20 casualties.

Yang Yong is immortal, Li Yuan can't sleep or eat.He returned to Bingzhou to discuss with all the civil and military forces about the matter of killing Yang Yong. Li Shimin saluted and said, "Father Emperor Shengming, this time our Tang Dynasty used troops against Yang Yong, lost troops and lost dozens of states and counties. In terms of strength, the thieves have already surpassed us. , Only by joining forces with Du Fuwei and Xiao Xian in Jiangnan can Yang Yong be completely defeated."

Li Yuan nodded after hearing this, and then shook his head again: "What the emperor said is reasonable, but Xiao Xian and Yang Yong are not in conflict with each other, and Du Fuwei's men are also called rebels, and the two of them may not only follow our leader. "

Li Shimin smiled indifferently: "Father, don't worry, my son has already sent Xuanling to Jiangnan. Both Xiao Xian and Du Fuwei are willing to send troops to attack Yang Yong. The benefit my son gave them is that after Yang Yong is destroyed, Datang and them draw a long river to rule. Of course, this is a temporary strategy. I don't know what the father wants?"

Li Yuan nodded appreciatively, and prepared to make Fang Xuanling an envoy, and then go to Jiangnan to sign a formal alliance agreement with Xiao Xian and Du Fuwei.

The right servant shot Pei Ji out of the row and bowed to salute: "Your Majesty, I have a book to play."

"What's Aiqing's chapter, play it quickly."

Pei Ji knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, let me tell you. Not long after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there were Turks raging in the north, and bandits in the south. Years of wars, the national power was short, the people's livelihood was dying, and the people were miserable. Especially after the Handong Kingdom was pacified, with the thief Yang Since the war, soldiers have been lost and generals have been lost, and the number of common people has been reduced sharply, and a large area of ​​farmland has been desolate. At present, there are only less than ten million households in our Tang Dynasty, and they urgently need to recuperate.

If the fighting continues and the national strength is exhausted, although Xitu has temporarily stabilized, the Communist Party is still ready to move, and the desire to destroy me is not dead. They take the opportunity to go south, and our Tang Dynasty is in danger of subjugation.I hope Your Majesty will think twice. "

"The minister seconded the proposal." The left servant shot Liu Wenjing and knelt down as well.

"Father has learned from the lesson, and my sons and ministers also agree. Father, Pei and Liu are right. It is true that we can no longer fight. The top priority should be to vigorously revitalize the people, encourage business, and stabilize people's livelihood. After the country is rich and the people are strong, we will raise troops to fight against thieves." Late." Prince Li Jiancheng also came out to salute.

"Father, my son has a book to play." Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, and came out to salute, "Our important enemy right now is Li Yong's bandit army. It's a disease of mustard ringworm, so it's nothing to worry about. Although we were exhausted this time and lost the battle, the thieves were also severely injured. Combined with the Xiao and Du families in the south of the Yangtze River to defeat Yang Yong and rule the world, there is no delay. If you wait for me The Tang Dynasty raised its soldiers and horses stronger, and the wings of the thieves became fuller, which undoubtedly nourished the legacy of the carbuncle."

Shi Zhan and Shi Xian were divided into two factions, the *** and the King of Qin faction.Li Yuan sounded reasonable. After thinking for a long time, Li Yuan said seriously: "You don't need to play anymore, this matter has been decided. Join Xiao Du and discuss peace with Yang Yong."

The civil and military officials heard some conflicts, and leaned slightly, the prince Li Jiancheng, the servants of the left and right, Liu Wenjing and Pei Ji shouted in unison: "Long live Shengming—" These three people took the lead, and the civil and military officials also shouted in unison, Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling Du Ruhui also shouted. He had no choice but to agree, and amidst the sound of praise, Li Yuan announced his retirement.

That night, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were summoned to the tent by Li Shimin. Li Shimin retreated to the left and right, and the three of them discussed the world's plans...
