The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 391
Yu Chigong's [-] Pioneer Battalion marched to the city of Tongguan to scold the formation, and reports had already been made to the general guarding Tongguan.

The current guard of Tongguan is still the Pei family and his son, with [-] elite soldiers under him.Because Yang Yong knew that the battle between himself and the Li family father and son would be unavoidable sooner or later.Once there is a war between the two sides, Tongguan's strategic position is very important, so Yang Yong deployed elite soldiers and strong generals here, and appointed Pei Renji, a veteran of both civil and military skills, as the main general, and his son Pei Xingyan, the silver hammer general, as the deputy general to assist his father in defending the city.

This is why he arranged the primary and secondary in this way, because Yang Yong knew that although Pei Xingyan was one of the five tiger generals, and his pair of double hammers was invincible, but he was young and his sexual arrogance could never be changed, so he was not suitable to be the main general. Can be a lieutenant.

Pei Xingyan, who had not fought for three years, was overjoyed when the Pei family and his son heard that Li Yuan's soldiers were coming. For him, fighting a battle was sweeter than eating sugar.He suggested to his father Pei Renji to lead troops to defend the city, and he himself should lead troops to face the enemy.

Pei Renji disagreed: "Yan'er, the Tang army came here this time with no kindness, and good people don't come. Do you know who the general of the Tang army is this time? Li Jiancheng, the prince of the Tang Dynasty! It is said that he is straightforward, lenient, benevolent, and very good at Do you know who Yu Chigong is? He used to be the number one general under Liu Wuzhou. He used to conquer three passes every day and eight strongholds at night. We just need to defend against danger and keep Tongguan, and we will make a decision after playing for the father."

Pei Xingyan knew that his father must be using this set of words, and he had already thought up a coping strategy. He saluted and said: "Father's words are very true. However, I can make two-handed preparations. While sending someone to the prince to ask for instructions, my father will keep watch. The city is safe. My child might as well go out to fight a battle. If we win, we will kill the majesty of the Tang army. If we don’t win, it doesn’t matter. Victory or defeat is a common thing for soldiers. The child will retreat to the city and defend the city with his father. If we don’t fight, we will I'm sorry that the prince has shown us kindness, and it has damaged our reputation as "five tigers and eight generals". People who don't know say that we are greedy for life and afraid of death, and we have gained a false reputation. If it is spread, it will be bad for our father and son. I hope father think twice."

The father and son talked to each other, and finally Pei Renji agreed with his son to lead troops out of the city to fight, but he must do three things: first, do not underestimate the enemy, because arrogant soldiers are bound to lose; The third is to advance when you hear the drum, and you will retreat when you hear the gold. Everything must be under the command of the father.

Pei Xingyan agreed one by one.After the three chapters of the contract, Pei Renji was watching the battle from the top of the city, and Pei Xingyan ordered five thousand troops to fight out of the pass city, and set off on the battlefield with Yu Chigong's men.

Both Yu Chigong and Pei Xingyan were brave and warlike generals, the first battle was when the two main generals appeared on the stage, the two announced their names, and they killed each other with guns and hammers.In terms of strength, Yu Chigong was not Pei Xingyan's opponent, but in terms of tactics, the two had a fight, so the two killed fifty rounds without deciding the outcome.At this time, the sound of gold ringing sounded from the top of the city, and Pei Xingyan dared not refuse to listen, so he had to withdraw his troops and return to the city.Yu Chigong led his men and horses to chase to the bank of the moat. Seeing that the enemy entered the city gate and the suspension bridge was pulled up, he had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

"Father, the boy has already gained the upper hand. In a few more rounds, he will be able to shoot this nigger under his horse. Why did you call for gold to withdraw?" Pei Xingyan was still unsatisfied. He could have won the battle but was chased back. Go to the handsome tent and ask Pei Renji.

"Yan'er, my father can see that Yu Chigong is not your opponent, but my father received the battle report that Li Jiancheng's men and horses have already crossed the Yellow River. It is important to protect the Guancheng now. Let's stop today's battle. Yan'er Son fought a good battle today, get tired, go down and rest." Pei Renji patted his son on the shoulder and comforted him.

"Is this not bad? It was a victory, but it ended in failure. This battle was not happy!" Pei Xingyan was unhappy, but he had no choice but to go back to his room to rest temporarily.

The next day, Li Jiancheng's troops lined up outside Tongguan City to fight again. Yu Chigong asked Pei Xingyan to fight by name.Pei Renji didn't allow his son to fight, and ordered people to hang up the exemption card, which made Pei Xingyan so anxious that he couldn't sit or sleep, and didn't think about eating or drinking.

When Yu Chigong saw that the Pei family and his son were not going to fight, he ordered people to insult him outside, scolding what was unpleasant, what to say to relieve his anger, and finally added "four beams, five tigers and eight tigers" to nothing. After scolding for a whole day, Tongguan City still The four doors are closed tightly, and the defense is hanging high.Yu Chigong had no choice but to withdraw his troops and hand over orders to Prince Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng frowned, and asked the two counselors: "Two military advisers, the Pei family and his son are slippery enough. If this is the case, wouldn't our trick be in vain? Tongguan is a fortified city, and no one can open it. What can I do?"

Liu Wenjing and Pei Ji looked at each other and smiled: "Your Highness, be safe and don't be impatient. Pei Renji is brave and resourceful, but Pei Xingyan has a fiery personality, has no one in his eyes, and has always been arrogant. The former will not be reconciled to the fact that he has no match with General Yuchi. We insulted him again today." One day, I don't believe he can bear it, I can't help it, Pei Xingyan must be fooled, tomorrow we will continue, I see how long he can endure in the city."

"Yes, Your Highness, we must make preparations tonight to prevent the enemy from stealing the camp. Your Highness, just wait and see the show." Pei Ji added.Only then did Li Jiancheng turn his worries into joy.

After dinner, Pei Xingyan came to see Pei Renji, and after giving the salute, Pei Xingyan said: "Father, Li Jiancheng's men and horses have just arrived, and they belong to the exhausted army. We should take advantage of their unsteady footing. At three o'clock tonight, my son will lead a team to steal If you rob the stronghold, you will surely succeed."

Pei Renji shook his head: "Yan'er, as the crown prince, Li Jiancheng has been fighting with Li Yuan for many years and has rich experience. How could he make such a mistake? This time, he must have counselors around him. I'm sure my father, they must be prepared in the camp. It’s better not to mention such petty tricks as stealing camps.”

Pei Xingyan was not convinced, but he didn't dare to argue with his father, so on the surface he had to give up.

That night, Pei Xingyan happened to be on duty to patrol the city. In the middle of the night, in the dead of night, Pei Xingyan secretly gathered 5000 troops and asked a ten thousand commander to lead two thousand troops to guard the city in case there was any change. Pei Xingyan brought three thousand people with him. , secretly lowered the suspension bridge, opened the city gate, quietly came out from inside, rushed across the moat, and went straight to Li Jiancheng's Chinese army camp.

Li Jiancheng's camp is ten miles away from Tongguan, a distance that can be reached in the blink of an eye for 3000 people.

Pei Xing was like a bird out of the cage, full of relaxation and joy, secretly thought, this time grandpa had a good time, to relieve his anger, the feeling of being controlled by the old man is really uncomfortable, it is best to meet the black ghost Wei Chigong, who dares to insult General, I must shoot him under the horse.Or he can capture and kill Li Jiancheng, let my father see how cautious he is, how can this be the style of our five tigers and eight brave generals.

While Pei Xingyan was thinking, Tang Jun's camp appeared in front of his eyes.Since it was dark, the light was not very good even though there were wind lamps, and only the general outline and scale of Tangying could be seen clearly.In a vague place, the antlers and ditches stretched and criss-crossed, and the tents were connected one by one, and the surroundings were quiet. Occasionally, there would be shouts from the patrolmen in the camp, but otherwise there was silence.

Pei Xingyan gritted his teeth and rushed into the enemy camp with his horse and hammer, followed by 3000 men and horses shouting. Wherever Pei Xingyan's troops went, the Tang camp was in chaos!
