The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 503 People Just Don't Want To Leave You
There is no hope of attacking the mountain, and it is even more unrealistic to rush through here on a narrow road.If you want to pass through Duisongshan, you must first defeat Wang Xiong's troops.Yang Yong led his troops to fight at the foot of the mountain, scolding them for days, but there was no movement on the mountain at all.Looking at the two Wu Jun camps and the five-color flags fluttering in the wind, Yang Yong and Xu Maogong were at a loss for what to do for a while.

In this way, half a month has passed, and the war has made no progress.Xu Maogong suggested that Yang Yong pretend to withdraw his troops and lure the enemy out of the mountain. Yang Yong agreed, and the troops retreated to Songshan Valley. He sent Luo Song and Yu Chigong to set up an ambush halfway in an attempt to capture Duisongshan. If it is done, Wang Xiong will not be fooled at all.

Xu Maogong said: "My lord, it's really not possible. Let's really withdraw our troops and send people to defend Luoyang and find another way around. The 10,000+ army consumes a lot. If we continue like this, our food and grass supply will be a problem."

Withdrawing troops is tantamount to returning without success, marching in a detour, if the detour is too close, but if the detour is too far, Wang Xiong will definitely send troops to Luoyang, and if Luoyang is lost, the consequences will be disastrous.Of course Yang Yong was unwilling to ask his subordinates: "How much food and grass do we still have?"

"Back to the prince, there are still ten days of rations." The quartermaster replied.

"Pass me an order to ask Zhang Gongjin to raise food and grass on the spot. It must be bought and sold by the public. If it is really impossible, the food will be raised at a high price."

"No." The herald went down.

Yang Yong looked at Xu Maogong: "Military Master, let's hold on for another five days. In these two days, we will find a few more local villagers and explore the road to see if we can find a breakthrough to climb up the mountain. It’s not too late for us to withdraw our troops.”

Of course Xu Maogong knew that Yang Yong would not take the path of retreating unless he had to. This was not his style.However, he doesn't agree with the strategy of climbing up the mountain.This is impossible. I am afraid that as soon as he takes action here, Wu Jun will find that it will be useless to climb up to 800 people.But he still nodded after listening to Yang Yong's words: "Alright."

Xu Maogong thought for a moment and then said: "My lord, Wang Xiong is full of tricks. We are raising food around Luoyang wantonly, and they will definitely find out about it. Once he knows that we are really preparing food, he may send someone to rob us." The grain depot. At that time, our army will stop fighting and chaos, so we must send more troops to the grain depot.”

Yang Yong nodded.He knew that regardless of whether the rebel army could go up or not, the Wu army would definitely come down. The grain depot was more than thirty miles away from here, so he had to guard against it.

Then an order was sent to call Li Wan'er into the tent. After hearing Yang Yong's words, Li Wan'er immediately lowered her face, and her small mouth was so high: "My lord, do you hate Wan'er?"

"Where did you start with this?" Yang Yong smiled and didn't care about Xu Maogong's presence, he came to hold her little hand and said.

"Then why do so many generals send concubines to guard the grain depot alone? They just want to be with you!" Li Wan'er said, shaking off Yang Yong's hand, and cast a glance at Xu Maogong, who had already turned his face away to chuckle .

Li Wan'er's meaning was obvious, so she almost didn't say, why not let Yang Yuling and Princess Yujing guard the grain depot?

"Wan'er, don't make trouble. How can this king not know what Wan'er is thinking? Yingzi supervises the transportation of grain and grass, and the grain depot lacks generals. This is an important place for the military camp. If you have food in your mouth, don't panic. If there is a problem with the grain depot, our army will not be afraid." The war is in chaos, therefore, the greatest contribution is to transport food and keep food. How about this king be willing to let go of you two darlings? There are many generals in the military camp who can fight and fight hard, but it is difficult for ordinary generals to be like this Heavy duty. Songshan is a tough bone, and needs manpower even more. After much deliberation, this king finds that you are the most suitable candidate. You are not only beautiful, gentle and virtuous, but also brave and resourceful, well-versed in civil and military skills, and well versed in the way of leading troops... ..."

"Okay, my lord should stop flattering my concubine, I just obey my orders. However, my lord is not allowed to do it again, or my concubine will really get angry." Li Wan'er looked at Yang Yong with tenderness and anger. He nodded, then smiled charmingly, left the camp and ordered five thousand soldiers and horses to go to the grain depot.

Watching Li Wan'er's beautiful shadow disappear at the tent door, Yang Yong couldn't help laughing, not without melancholy in his heart, this is really a ghost, I really don't want to let her go.Alas, as long as I look forward to unifying the world as soon as possible, this king can stay with them all day long...

His eyes turned temporarily to Wu Jun's camp.After Wang Xiong suffered a defeat, he counted the number of people. There were more than 2 casualties in this battle. This was the first time Wang Xiong experienced such a disastrous defeat. He had never lost like this when he fought against Yuwen Chengdu.

The men who left Yang Yong were tens of miles away. Seeing that there were no pursuers behind, Wang Xiong sent an order to exhaust his troops to rectify them. With one order, 10,000+ troops lined up neatly on a piece of flat ground in the small bag.

Wang Xiong stood at the front of the team, with General Pang Yu on the left, General Zhang Wei on the right, and his personal followers behind him, all of them holding whips and swords with majestic faces.The following soldiers were even more serious.

Wang Xiong was dressed in armor, holding a sword in his hand, his keen eyes scanned the faces of every soldier, and said: "The next step is to start the wound inspection, everyone has it, take it off!"

One order fell like a mountain, and 10,000+ soldiers of the Wu army stripped off all their armor.

Some are covered with muscles, some are covered with scars, and some are new wounds and old wounds, and the wounds are still bleeding. Of course, they are all minor injuries. Those with serious injuries either died on the battlefield, or fell behind halfway and died. .

"Old rules, anyone with an injury on the back, stand up!" Wang Xiong said with a blank expression on his face, his words were as cold as ice.

After a burst of noise, one hundred and two people came out and knelt down on the ground: "General, please forgive me, and please forgive me..."

"It's useless to beg me, this is the fate of not being able to charge forward! After you die, your wives, children and other family members, as well as all the rewards you have received before, will all be buried with you, kill!" Wang Xiong gritted his teeth and spit out these few words.

"No." Pang Yu and Zhang Wei took Wang Xiong's personal guards, and in front of 10,000+ people, they pulled out their long swords, and when they came close to more than a hundred people, the sword light flickered , There was a scream, blood splashed, and the dead body fell to the ground. In less than 2 minutes, there were one hundred and one people, and none of them survived.

The 10,000+ soldiers are terribly quiet, all expressionless, with only one belief in their hearts, the next time they kill the enemy, they must not shrink back. Those who advance will be rewarded in life, and when they die on the battlefield, their family members will still be supported and taken care of. If you retreat, this is the end, and you must not Follow in the footsteps of these people.

After killing these people, Wang Xiong ordered the military doctor to apply medicine and bandage the wounds of the rest of the wounded, and then took 10,000+ people to Duisongshan.He had already taken a good look at the terrain here. After setting up the camp, the generals of the Wu army began to cut wood, move stones, arrange archers, and build fortifications.

The soldiers of the rebel army were blocked at the foot of the mountain for more than a month and could not move an inch.Complacent in Wang Xiong's heart, he thought to himself, Yang Yong, aren't you good at fighting?Let's see if you can fly over here this time, and when the ammunition runs out and the troops are withdrawn, Grandpa will kill all of you again!
Just at this time, a small school came in and knelt down on the ground: "Report to the general, according to reliable news, the rebel army's grain and grass trucks will definitely pass through Panshe Ridge in three days."

"Oh?" Wang Xiong's eyes flashed like an elf, and he stood up from the chair suddenly, "Check again and report again."

"No." The principal promised, saluted and withdrew.

Wang Xiong rolled his eyes and shouted outside the transfer account: "Come on!"...
