The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 440 Robbing Yishui, the offensive is like a tide

Chapter 430 The eighth chapter seizes Yishui, the offensive is like a tide
"Report, report to the general, Xincheng, Dingxing has fallen, and now a Xia army is attacking the Laishui defense line."

For a moment, the Anjun scouts immediately informed the defending general of the change that had occurred on their side.

Hearing this, the guard couldn't help but shuddered and was shocked. He took a while to react, and murmured: "Rear? Xia Jun?"

"How did Dou Jiande break through Xincheng and Dingxing?"

Obviously, this guard was not a pure Hebei general, and he was not very clear about the terrain along the Yishui River. He also didn't know that there was a gentle river in the Baigou River, so it was easy for an army to cross the river.

Moreover, the terrain here is not necessarily clear even to people from Hebei who have lived in the local area all year round, and the river bank is extremely hidden.

If it weren't for the fact that Xia Junjun's chief advisor, Song Zhengben, was from Hebei. He traveled to Hebei to investigate the local customs and customs, and finally drew a topographic map based on his personal experience.

I am afraid that at this time, it is impossible for the Xia army to break through the new city, Dingxing, and attack Laishui directly.

In fact, this general is not from Hebei, but defected from the Central Plains, and his name is relatively famous, his surname is Zuo and his first name is Tiancheng.

Zuo Tiancheng, a figure in Xingtang biography, is the general soldier of Sishuiguan. He once fought against the five tigers of the Western Wei Dynasty (Wagang) without any fear. Later, he was defeated by Pei Yuanqing's chain hammer and was shaken off the cliff.

It's a pity that later, by accident, he met Xiong Kuohai, and was shot by him, ending his brilliant life.

As for this life, Zuo Tiancheng also served as the commander in chief of Sishui Pass because of his meritorious service, but suffered a massive attack from the Western Wei Dynasty. Due to his lack of strength, he finally retreated.

Because Yang Lin in this life didn't plan a general rebellion against the king to win the championship in Yangzhou, Zuo Tiancheng fell into trouble and went to Hebei. In the end, by a coincidence, he became a general in the An army.

Since he joined the An army under his name, Shi Siming didn't know that this person was Zuo Tiancheng, otherwise he wouldn't be in the present, and he would be just a young general with little reputation.

However, gold shines everywhere, because Zuo Tiancheng's own ability is very good, he is valued by Shi Siming, so after Shi Siming led the attack against the Qi army, he handed over the Yishui defense line to him to defend.

However, Zuo Tiancheng suffered a great loss from not being from Hebei. Although he had fought in Liaodong in his early years, he was not very familiar with the terrain of Yishui in Youzhou.

At this time, Song Zhengben was caught off guard by Song Zhengben's plan. With the fall of Xincheng and Dingxing, the crisis of Laishui's defense line hit Zuo Tiancheng's heart like a heavy hammer.

Not only that, but Zuo Tiancheng's nightmare has just begun, and it is not over yet.

"Report to the general, for some reason, the Xia army on the other side is launching a frenzied attack now, regardless of casualties, and forcibly attacked."

"Although they haven't come ashore for the time being, their strength should not be underestimated. Our army is gradually being unable to resist. General please make a quick decision!"

For a while, at the critical moment of the Laishui defense line, Dou Jiande had already heard the good news of Xiong Kuohai, so he stepped up his efforts to attack the Yishui defense line on a large scale.

However, it was precisely because of the sudden strengthening of the Xia army that the defense of the An army gradually deepened, reaching the limit.

After all, everything has a degree, although the An army relied on Yishui's natural defense line to block the Xia army's onslaught for many days, causing heavy casualties to it.

However, it's just that the An army is also under the onslaught of days, and it's also uncomfortable. At this time, Dou Jiande is attacking wildly regardless of casualties. In addition, the news of Xincheng and Dingxing's fall has spread in the army.

At this time, the sergeant panicked and couldn't bear the pressure anymore, as if he had reached his limit.

At the same time, as if the reality was confirming this speculation, at the moment of "bang", the soldiers and horses of Zhao Kuangyin's headquarters, including Hu Yanzan, took the lead in facing the rain of arrows, and led the troops to kill on the beach first.

All of a sudden, Hu Yanzan took the lead, carrying double whips, and led the crowd into the An army's formation. Suddenly, the momentum was unstoppable, killing his army's flesh and blood, and everyone who entered was terrified!

After all, apart from Zuo Tiancheng in the An army formation, there was not a strong general who could shock the entire army to counter Hu Yanzan.

However, because Hu Yanzan had to command the whole army, he had no time to take care of Hu Yanzan. For a while, Hu Yanzan even killed several back and forth in the formation, but all was well.

Not only that, Li Jilong and Shi Shouxin also led the crowd to the shore to join the fight against the An army.

In an instant, with the bravery of several generals in the Xia army, they led the crowd to fight on the beach, and the soldiers of the Xia army finally gained a firm foothold on the beach. Afterwards, the soldiers of the Xia army were like a surging tide, and more and more soldiers Converging on the beach, gradually approaching the front line of the beach.

In the rear, in the formation, Xia Wang Dou Jiande, who personally went into battle and encouraged the army, saw that his army had already landed, laughed a lot, and said: "Haha!"

"Our army's combat strength is indeed the best in the world. Attacking the Yishui line of defense head-on has actually gnawed down this hard bone."

It has to be said that the combat power of the Xia army's sergeants should not be underestimated. Although this time they captured the Yishui defense line, they also adopted Song Zhengben's strategy to suddenly attack Xincheng and Dingxing, threatening the Laishui defense line.

However, if Xia Jun's soldiers did not have strong combat power, they would not have captured the Yishui defense line so easily this time.

After all, although Anjun's defense in Yishui was not an iron wall, it was also impeccable, without any flaws!

After a fight, Zuo Tiancheng was already covered in blood, but there were more and more soldiers of the Xia army approaching the beach, and they were endless!
Therefore, at this time, his heart was like a mirror, knowing that Yi Shui's fall today would be a foregone conclusion, and in the end he gave an order to retreat in order to preserve his strength.

Immediately, Zuo Tiancheng, relying on his own bravery, led the remnants to get rid of Xia Jun's soldiers, abandoned the Yishui defense line, and ran slowly towards Laishui!

After a hard fight, the soldiers of the Xia army completely emptied the soldiers of the An army around Yishui, and took them firmly in their hands.

Dou Jiande, who punted across Yishui, looked at the bottom of Yishui in Yishui.

At this time, the bottomless bottom of the water was now stained with a layer of blood, making it extremely turbid.

Not only that, but his corpse floating on the water can also reflect the cruelty of this battle.

"Well, I think that I, Dou Jiande, was originally from a farming family, and I just hope to live a life of "work at sunrise and return at sunset", but unfortunately I suffer from the tyranny of Yang Guang."

"As a result, all the counties in the world are starving and dying, the people are in dire straits, and the corvee and taxes are harsh and heavy. This king is also a petition of the people, so he can be a prince."

"In this battle, so many righteous men threw their heads and radiated blood for this king, and died here, how can this king bear it!"

For a moment, seeing the total tragedy, Dou Jiande couldn't help feeling compassionate, and sighed infinitely.

After all, Dou Jiande was a farmer for generations in his early years, and he didn't have much ambition in his heart. It was a coincidence that he took the road of a prince.

However, although Dou Jiande is deeply princely, he is equally frugal in his basic necessities of life, and he does not appear to be rich and wealthy at all, on the contrary, he is quite ordinary.

If it weren't for Dou Jiande's prestige, I'm afraid it is almost the same as the clothes of ordinary people!
Moreover, after the army won the victory, Dou Jiande did not take any of its spoils, and Jin Jun rewarded them to the generals and soldiers under his command.

It is precisely because of Dou Jiande's approach that the combat power of his soldiers can maintain such tenacious combat power.

In this battle, the Xia army was able to attack and capture the Yishui line of defense by force. There may be reasons for this.

Hearing this, Song Zhengben on the side slowly cupped his hands and said, "King Xia, you don't have to blame yourself so much!"

"After all, throughout the ages, no one can survive a war. As long as King Xia can wipe out the anti-kings in the world as soon as possible, calm down the troubled times, and let the people of the world live a stable life and live and work in peace and contentment."

"Only in this way can the tragedy of today not happen again. Otherwise, such tragic battles may emerge endlessly in the future."

With Song Zhengben's explanation, Dou Jiande realized that he was too rational now, and knew that what he said was the truth, so he adjusted it secretly.

It's just that after Yishui was captured, Xia's army did not stand still, but moved forward courageously, continued to gallop, and went straight to the Laishui defense line.

At this time, Dou Jiande had already decided to go all out and join the Xiongkuohai to seize the last line of defense leading to Zhuo County and capture Laishui in one fell swoop.

For a while, Xia Jun galloped towards Laishui, trying to join the Xiong Kuo Hai, and wiped out An Jun's forces in one fell swoop.
