Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 94
Liang and later Sui military camps.

Liang Shidu and Yang Zhengdao gathered with a group of soldiers.

Master Liang glanced at the crowd and said, "Tang Tong in Luzhou City won't be able to hold out for two more days. Everyone will attack Luzhou City and kill Tang Tong."

"Kill Tang Tong, kill Tang Tong."

"........."

The shouts continued, Master Liang nodded and said: "Tomorrow, we will continue to fight the Tang army."

"Here!"

All Liang generals and Sui soldiers were very excited, because they knew that they would win the final victory soon, and if they killed Li Shimin, they would be able to get a lot of rewards.

As the night darkened, the barracks of Liang and Hou Sui fell silent.

After midnight, outside the barracks of Liang and Later Sui, a Tang army was lurking in the night, ready to attack at any time.

"My son-in-law, Liang and the soldiers of the Later Sui Dynasty, which one should we cheat?" A soldier came to Chai Shao and asked, Chai Shao frowned in thought, and after a while, he pointed with his big hand: "The barracks of the Later Sui Dynasty."

"Here!"

With an order, the Tang army rushed into the Hou Sui barracks like a sharp arrow, and at the same time they rushed in, various drums, horseshoes, etc. also sounded at the same time, as if the Tang army had thousands of troops. Like a horse.

With the sound of war drums and horseshoes, the Hou Sui soldiers who were sleeping soundly woke up suddenly. They were very confused and terrified, and rushed out without thinking about getting dressed.

Everyone fled in panic, shouting loudly: "Tang Jun is here, Tang Jun is here..."

The horses in the stables were untied by the Tang army who rushed in. These horses ran wildly back and forth in the barracks, and many Sui soldiers were trampled to death.

The camp of the Sui Army was in chaos.

Yang Zhengdao walked out of the tent, and after he saw clearly what was going on, he quickly shouted: "Don't panic, don't panic, there are not many Tang troops, they just want to cheat the camp..."

The Sui soldiers were in chaos, and it was not until half an hour later that they finally calmed down. But at this time, the Tang army led by Chai Shao had retreated to Luzhou City.

Many Sui soldiers in the Sui Army camp were injured, and some soldiers were trampled to death by their companions and horses.

Looking at the messy camp, Yang Zhengdao gritted his teeth in hatred.

"Damn it!" He never expected that Tang Jun, who was already at the end of his strength, would dare to go out of the city to deceive the camp, and it was precisely because he did not expect that Tang Jun succeeded in fraudulent camp.

"What's going on at Liang's side?"

"They are safe and sound, Datang has no intention of doing anything to them."

Hearing this, Yang Zhengdao frowned. He helped Liang Guo attack Luzhou City, but Liang Guo was lucky, and there were not many casualties. Instead, he pushed all the bad things to them.

If this continues, even if Luzhou City is captured, there will not be many soldiers and horses left in the Later Sui Dynasty, right?
Yang Zhengdao secretly felt bad, and even had the idea of ​​withdrawing his troops.

But even so, in this situation, he can't retreat, so he can only bite the bullet.

When the sky was getting brighter, Liang Shidu brought people to inquire about the situation.

He was also a little surprised when he learned that the Later Sui Dynasty was defrauded by the Tang army, but in Yang Zhengdao's view, his surprise was very artificial, more like a fake.

After all, the camps of the two armies are very close to each other. How could it be possible that Liang didn't know what happened here in Housui yesterday?
Yang Zhengdao was furious, and said: "Emperor Liang, our army was seriously injured last night, I'm afraid it will take a day or two of recuperation before we can attack the city."

Master Liang's heart sank slightly, and he said, "Emperor Sui, in two more days, we will be able to capture Luzhou City. How can you get away from it at this time?"

Yang Zhengdao said: "It's not that I don't care about it, but that my soldiers and horses were frightened last night and must be recuperated. You Liang Guo has a lot of soldiers and horses, why not attack first."

Master Liang wanted to say something more, but Yang Zhengdao suddenly yawned: "The widow didn't sleep all night last night, Emperor Liang please do what you want."

After saying that, Yang Zhengdao turned around and left. Master Liang had no choice but to let out a long sigh. After returning to the barracks, he gathered Liang Guo's soldiers and horses and continued to enter the palace and Luzhou City.

Liang Bing attacked Luzhou City alone, and his strength could not help but become much weaker, so he attacked for a day without making any progress.

When it was getting late, Master Liang returned to the barracks angrily.

"This Yang Zhengdao is really abominable. He is about to capture Luzhou City, but he refuses to send troops. If something bad happens, it must be in his hands."

"Your Majesty, the Tang army cheated the camp, only cheating the Sui camp. I'm afraid it will have the intention of alienating us. Now I'm angry again, but I can't get angry. Waiting for the minister to go to the Sui camp to persuade Yang Zhengdao to lead the army tomorrow for your majesty. how?"

Master Liang nodded and said, "Then I'll have to thank Chen Aiqing."

Chen Chen took the order to retreat, and then went directly to the Sui camp.

"Excuse me, tell me that Chen Chen, a minister of the Liang Kingdom, wants to see you, the Empress of the Sui Dynasty."

The guards quickly reported to Yang Zhengdao. When Yang Zhengdao saw Liang Shidu's military adviser coming, he knew that he wanted to persuade him to send troops, but Liang Shi was still angry and didn't want to send troops. He said: "Just say that I am very tired. .”

The guards ran to report. After Chen Chen heard the reason, he suddenly let out a soft sigh and said, "Success is already in sight, but the Sui Emperor was so capricious, and it is absolutely impossible to capture Luzhou City with only our soldiers and horses from the Liang Kingdom. If that’s the case, let’s go our separate ways.”

As Chen Chen said, he turned and left, the guard was startled, and hurriedly ran to report to Yang Zhengdao. After hearing the guard's narration, Yang Zhengdao secretly thought it was not good.

If Liang Guo abandoned Luzhou City, wouldn't he, a soldier of the Sui Dynasty, be flanked by two groups of Tang troops? At that time, how could he be the opponent of Tang troops?
"Hurry up and catch up with Chen Chen, and tell me that the widow will send troops to attack the city tomorrow."

Early the next morning, Liang and the Later Sui soldiers and horses came out in full force and launched a fierce attack on Luzhou City.

Tang Jun stood on the tower and rose up to resist. All the siege equipment had been used up, but they had no intention of breaking through.

They don't have bows, arrows and rolling logs, but they still have big knives and long guns. They can fight the enemy hand-to-hand on the towers, and they will kill an enemy when they rush up.

"kill……"

With the frenzied attack of Liang and the later Sui Dynasty, it became more and more difficult for the Tang army to defend, and more and more Tang troops fell. When the evening of this day came, there were only more than 500 Tang troops left.

"How long can it last?"

"If you go back to the prince, if no reinforcements come tomorrow afternoon, I'm afraid Luzhou City will not be able to defend it."

Li Shimin frowned slightly, and his face turned pale. The fraud camp bought them a long time, but if the reinforcements did not come tomorrow, Luzhou City would really be unable to defend.

Does he really want to live and die with Luzhou City?

Li Shimin looked into the distance, behind him stood a group of civil servants and military generals, but at this time, no one proposed to break through.

Li Shimin suddenly thought that if someone mentioned it, he might really choose to break through.
