The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 990
After Yang Yong received the report, he sent two armies of 20 troops to support Li Jing and Su Dingfang on the Eastern Front. Among them, Xu Maogong took Luo Song and Yu Chigong with [-] troops to Youzhou to relieve Li Jing's danger.

It wasn't too late for Xu Maogong's group of people to come, but Li Shimin detected this group in advance, and deployed heavy troops in Yizhou to stop them.The one who stopped it was none other than the famous Li Xiaogong.

Xu Maogong's vanguard battalion, Wei Chigong's 3000 troops, cleared the way ahead, opened the road across the mountains, and built bridges when they met the water. When they arrived in Yizhou, they accidentally fell into an ambush by Li Xiaogong. In a scuffle, the rebel army suffered heavy losses. Almost the entire army was wiped out. Yuchi Gong fought With bravery, when they broke out of the siege, there were only more than 3000 of the [-] troops left.

Yu Chigong didn't dare to rush into the army anymore, and after uniting with Xu Maogong's army, he continued to attack Yizhou.

Although Xu Maogong was shrewd in his use of troops, Luo Song and Yuchi Gong were brave and invincible, but what they met was the famous Li Xiaogong. Gong Du knew very well that he was by no means an opponent of Yu Chigong and Luo Song because of his bravery, so he could not fight them bravely, but paid attention to using his strengths and making use of his strengths to avoid weaknesses. State.

Yizhou is today's Yixian County, Hebei Province. In the Sui Dynasty, it was Yizhou County. Yizhou was mountainous and the terrain was complex. In addition, Li Xiaogong was good at using troops, so Xu Maogong's [-] troops were blocked here for half a month. Neither did.If he wanted to solve Li Jing's danger, it was still nearly [-] miles away from Youzhou, so he could only look at plum blossoms to quench his thirst.

In this way, Li Jing's troops were trapped in Youzhou by Turkic soldiers and Li Shimin's Tang army. Xu Maogong's troops had not arrived for a long time. There are no rescuers outside, and the danger is at stake.

Seeing that day by day, there is no hope of rescue, and there is less and less food in the city. The daily consumption of tens of thousands of soldiers is simply astronomical. The food intake of soldiers has been reduced from half to one third of the original. It was reduced to one-fifth, and the soldiers and horses could not get enough to eat. They had to use bark, grass roots, soil, leather belts, etc. to satisfy their hunger. combat effectiveness?Now it is impossible for Li Jing to give up Youzhou to break through.

Tens of thousands of people don't want to be trapped to death in the city. Li Jing lives in the city like a year, looking forward to rescue soldiers like looking forward to the stars and the moon. At this time, he thought of Su Dingfang in Mingshui. The battalion moved troops to ask for help, but breaking into the camp was not easy.

At this time, outside the city of Youzhou, there are all Tang army and Turkic company camps, which can't be seen at a glance. More importantly, the soldiers have not had enough to eat for many days, and their morale is low. Li Jing decided to let Zhao Sihai, the shovel general, and Zhang Jiaxiang, the silver stick general, escort them with horses. In order to allow them to have enough physical strength to enter the camp, Li Jing reluctantly parted ways that night and slaughtered a few more horses from the few horses. Xiongxin, Zhao Sihai, Zhang Jiaxiang and other five thousand soldiers ate a meal of meat.

Of course, with so many people and so little meat, it was impossible to get enough to eat. Everyone was half full even with meat and soup. This was already Li Jing's best effort.

It was the third watch of the night, and the three generals led five thousand death squads quietly opened the south gate and rushed out suddenly. Shan Xiongxin was in the middle, Zhao Sihai was in the front, and after Zhang Jiaxiang was finished, 5000 troops rushed into the enemy camp. A scuffle continued until dawn , Shan Xiongxin was injured in many places before breaking out of the encirclement.

However, the price of this battle was very heavy. The shovel general Zhao Sihai accidentally fell into the pit after being hit by an arrow. When Zhang Jiaxiang and Shan Xiongxin parted, more than half of the 5000 troops had been lost. However, they had to fight back and return to the city. In the end, less than 200 soldiers returned to the city, and Zhang Jiaxiang was seriously injured.But Shan Xiongxin didn't know these details, he only knew that Zhao Sihai, the shovel general, had died in this battle to break into the camp.

These brothers all died for themselves. Shan Xiongxin was born in the green forest, and he was the most loyal. He wrote down Zhao Sihai's name with pain in his mouth. Mingshui came.

Along the way, Shan Xiongfu drank the water by the side of the road thirsty, slept in the saddle of his horse, and passed by the border of Dingzhou. He heard that Su Dingfang was fighting Luo Yi here, so he found the Dingzhou military camp.

Su Dingfang and Zhang Gongjin found out what was going on, and immediately felt the pressure. Li Jing wrote clearly in the letter that the city was already seriously short of food, and they could last for five days at most. After five days, without the enemy attacking, they could only catch them up.

And here is more than five hundred miles away from Youzhou, Shan Xiongxin has spent two days from Youzhou to Dingzhou, that is to say, within three days they have to rush five hundred miles to Youzhou and release Otherwise, Li Jing and the others would be in danger.

Rescuing soldiers is like fighting a fire, the situation is extremely critical, and Su Dingfang cannot tolerate any delay.After negotiating with Zhang Gongjin, they decided to withdraw the siege of Dingzhou immediately, sent troops to Youzhou, and sent people on fast horses to report the battle situation to Qu Tutong in Bingzhou and Mingzhou...

However, they didn't know that just the night before Su Dingfang raised his troops, that is, in the middle of the night the second night after Shan Xiongxin and his men broke into the camp, the Tang army and the Turkic allied forces launched a strong attack on Youzhou City.

It turned out that Li Shimin and the others found undigested belts, grass roots and soil from the stomachs of the soldiers who had broken into the camp. Therefore, they concluded that there was a serious shortage of food in the city. After discussion, the Turkic military governor Ashinulit believed that the best opportunity to capture Youzhou had arrived. On the same day, the Tang army and the Turkic army made careful deployments, and an army of 50 troops launched a sudden attack on Youzhou City in the middle of the night.

Zhang Ruixiang was seriously injured and unable to participate in the battle. Li Jing took Yang Guowen to the city to direct the battle. This fierce battle lasted for a day and a night. Finally, the city of Youzhou was broken, and the two sides fought fiercely again in the city.

As a result, general Yang Guowen was killed in battle, and Zhang Jiaxiang, who was seriously injured, was also beheaded. In the end, only Li Jing and several thousand disabled soldiers remained among the 6 horses, who became prisoners of the Tang army and the Turks.

On the third day after the city of Youzhou was broken, Su Dingfang, Zhang Gongjin, and Shan Xiongxin led an army of [-] troops outside the south city to kill them. After the news of the capture, Xu Maogong and Su Dingfang were frightened out of their wits. After joining forces, they retreated [-] li and set up camp. At the same time, they hurriedly used [-] li to report the bad news to Yang Yong in Bingzhou...
