The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 65
Outside Daxing City, Guo Liang and Qiao Zhongkui's 10,000+ troops were surrounded by four armies.First, Yang Gan and Li Mi rushed out of the city gate with [-] tiger and cardinal troops and entered the enemy camp. The soldiers and horses of the king of Han did not dare to fight and retreated directly, but they were firmly bitten by the [-] tiger and cardinal troops.

Guo Liang saw that it was not good, so he quickly ordered Qiao Zhongkui to lead 1 troops, and after the break, the two sides fought together.Guo Liang retreated with more than [-] horses in a hurry, and within [-] miles, Brother Qu Tu's [-] horses rushed to the north, and Guo Liang couldn't dodge and had to fight.

In the melee, Zhang Xutuo from the southwest led five thousand Kunzhou iron cavalry to enter. Although the number was not large, they were very powerful, and Zhang Xutuo's army was very strict, and his army was very powerful. More than [-] troops were cut off at the waist, and rushed to pieces.

Guo Liang's Han army had no choice but to wipe their heads and run southeast, but within ten miles, three cannons rang out, and Wang Rengong in the southeast came with more than 1 Suizhou soldiers.

Now the Han army has been killed dizzy, and they don't know how many soldiers and horses the opponent has. People are panic-stricken, like a frightened bird, and have no fighting power at all.As a result, they collapsed as soon as they were solved, and they were defeated again. Guo Liang's command was not effective.

Soon, Guo Liang and Qiao Zhongkui's 10,000+ army was trapped by only 3 troops from the Fourth Route Army.The battle lasted for nearly two hours. In the end, Guo Liang died in battle among the rebels. Qiao Zhongkui was saved by several lieutenants and escaped from the encirclement.

After running for sixty or seventy miles, Qiao Zhongkui reined in the reins to see that there were no pursuers behind him, and then checked the remnants of his defeated soldiers, and there were less than 5000 troops.A few days ago, when the army was raised from the Jin Dynasty, there were 20 troops, how mighty, and now there are only a few troops left. How can I go back and ask the King of Han to explain?

"God bless me! This is all caused by Yang Yong and Gongye, and I will never let you go!" Qiao Zhongkui yelled a few times, emotionally, he pulled out his sword and was about to kiss himself to apologize, and was beaten by his subordinates. The lieutenant general hugged: "General, victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists, how can you commit suicide?..."

After some persuasive persuasion by his officers and men, Qiao Zhongkui had no choice but to take these remnants of the defeated soldiers back to Tianmen Pass, and together with Jiang and Xia Erjiang, they abandoned Guancheng, and took thousands of soldiers and horses from Jinpu Pass. A piece of less than 2 people returned to Jinyang overnight.

Guo Liang died in battle, Qiao Zhongkui was defeated and fled, and the King of Han's army lost its general. They ran around like headless flies, and were killed countless by Yang Guang's army.At this time, Yang Guang's four-way army had joined forces, and naturally they were commanded by the most powerful officials, Yang Gan and Li Mi.

The second general saw that the killing was almost done, so the generals could not kill all the soldiers, so they ordered "those who surrender will not die".All of a sudden, more than [-] people threw weapons and knelt down and asked to surrender.

Commanded by Li Mi and Yang Gan, the prisoners were collected, the battlefield was cleaned, and military exploits were recorded. The knives, spears, equipment, food and grass obtained were piled up like mountains, and even the boxes of gold, silver and jewelry that Yang Guang used to lure were recovered.

After finishing all this, it was almost dark. Li Mi, Yang Gan, Brother Qu Tu, Zhang Xutuo, Wang Rengong and other generals left [-] elite soldiers outside the city just in case, and then attracted the victorious soldiers to hold The captives and the spoils of war went to the capital to meet Yang Guang and ask for rewards.

Yang Guang had already received the Bingbao, and he came to the three-way king's division, who won more with less, and won a beautiful and big victory. He was very happy.

Yang Guang ordered the gates of the city to be opened wide, and these rescuers were brought into the city and summoned overnight.After reading the merit list, Yang Guang laughed, but only half the smile, suddenly remembered that Yang Yong and Gong Ye had come, so he asked with a tense face: "My dear friends, we have gained a lot in this battle. Victory, the thieves were almost wiped out, the credit is not small, I will definitely reward them according to their merits. But where are the rebels Yang Yong and Gong Ye, they are the main culprits? Where is my Xiao Mei Niang?"

This time, Li Mi, Yang Gan and others were happy, the smiles on their faces froze, and they thought, what does the emperor mean, is he praising us, or punishing us?They all kept silent.

A few seconds later, Qu Tutong and Qu Tugai quickly knelt down with sweat on their faces: "Your Majesty Qizuo, I apologize."

"Oh, the two lovers have done a great job in rescuing you, what's the crime? Please hurry up, what's going on, let me listen to it?" Yang Guang said in a daze.

"Your Majesty Rong Bing..." The two of them lay on the ground without daring to get up, they added to each other, and told about the encounter between Yang Yong and Gong Yechang in the small forest in the north of the city.

Before he finished speaking, Yang Guang jumped up against the case: "Du, two bold slaves dared to let the rebels go. They are the culprits I want! For the sake of your meritorious service, I won't let you go!" Prosecute, but you two must lead the troops to bring back the heads of Yang Yong and Gong Yechang, otherwise, I will kill you both!"

"The minister leads the decree." The two generals grinned, had no place to talk about their grievances, and took three thousand Qingqi out of the capital overnight to hunt down Yang Yong and Gong Yechang.

The second general Qu Tu had a busy schedule and chased him for three days and three nights without seeing Yang Yong and Gong Yechang. It turned out that they went in the wrong direction and made the soldiers under him miserable. , There is a reward for wine and meat, and we are not even allowed to rest, and we are not even as good as livestock. It seems that we are in the wrong team.

For a while, the morale of the soldiers under him was slackened, and there were quite a few criticisms, and there were many deserters.

Qu Tutong and Qu Tugai have become even more angry these two days. If they can't catch Yang Yong and go back, they will be killed by Yang Guang. It seems that Yang Yong is right, this is really a senseless and stupid king!What crime do we have, to kill us two crimes into one?

We traveled thousands of miles and hurried to the capital to kill the rebels and relieve the danger of the capital. Instead of rewarding you, I punished us. If you didn’t catch Yang Yong and Gongye, do you blame us?Who made Yang Yong your real brother?Without the imperial decree, we only dared to arrest, not to kill, and the situation was urgent at that time, we only wanted to rescue him, what's wrong with that?
As the saying goes, there is nothing more meritorious than saving someone, and we don't care if the meritorious service is not successful, but you treat us brothers like this, which is tolerable or unbearable.Why would such a foolish king protect him?

The more they talked, the more angry they became, and in a fit of anger, they took the three thousand cavalry and horses and secretly went back to their hometown and took their family members with them. The Yanmen Pass was no longer guarded, and they abandoned it and went to Taihang Mountain to occupy the mountain and become king.

Thinking of Xiao Mei Niang, Yang Guang now hated Yang Yong to the core, and sent Brother Qu Tong to hunt him down overnight. Yang Guang was still worried, so he brushed off the decree. At this point, both of them will be killed, and they will be rewarded with a thousand gold, or promoted to three ranks. In addition, the next day, general Wang Rengong will be sent to lead [-] cavalry to hunt down and kill Yang Yong and Gongyechang.

Within three days, Qin Wang's divisions from all over the country rushed to the outside of Daxing City one after another, gathering 30 elites.

Yang Guangda was delighted, and adopted the suggestions of Yu Wenhua and Yang Gan. He promoted Yang Gan to Zhuguo and worshiped him as Marshal, promoted Zhang Xutuo to be the governor of the personal guards as the deputy general of the army, Li Mi as the military adviser, and Tianbao general Yu Wencheng as the front. The vanguard led an army of 25 troops out of Weinan and pushed into Puzhou. Li Can, the governor of Puzhou, dared not fight and abandoned the city, so they took Puzhou City without bloodshed.

In just two days, Bingfeng arrived at the city of Jinyang, the heart of King Han.Jinyang shook, and the king of Han was astonished.

These days the King of Han has been very tired. He never dreamed that the Spring and Autumn Dream he wove would wake up so soon. The army on the main road moved fast, and those who were defeated came back in a hurry. , The 20 army only came back with less than 2 horses headed by Qiao Zhongkui, which is almost the same as the entire army was wiped out.

He knew that Yang Guang must not let it go, so he organized an army of 15 to prepare for the battle, but he didn't expect Yang Guang's army to come so fast. As soon as his troops were ready, they came to the city.

In a hurry, the King of Han had no choice but to fight, but seeing that Yang Guang had many generals, was invincible, and his morale was high, he adopted the strategy of "waiting for work with leisure and waiting for reinforcements with ease" by his adviser Jia Yu, and at the same time sent people to the camp to recall the other four soldiers, King Ma Qin , while defending the city.

Yang Gan and Li Mi's men and horses attacked for five days, but failed to take down the impenetrable Jinyang City. The two sides will suffer heavy losses, forming a temporary confrontation.

On the sixth day, reinforcements from the King of Han arrived and attacked the Sui Dynasty soldiers and horses on the outskirts of the besieged city. The two sides fought a battle in the east of Jinyang.

Seeing that the time had come to defeat the enemy, the king of Han was overjoyed, and adopted the advice of counselor Jia Yu, and opened the gates of the city to lead the troops out. Unexpectedly, he was trapped by the well-prepared Yang Gan and his troops, and he couldn't even return to the city. At this time, Zhang Xutuo led his troops to take Jinyang lightly.

After making a fuss for a long time, the king of Han made a mistake in his judgment. The troops who came here were not reinforcements at all, but the four remnants of the defeated generals who had fled back. The Sui soldiers were chasing after them. The design was trapped, and as a bait, the king of Han shouted that he had been fooled when he learned the truth.

It turned out that when Yang Guang's army besieged Jinyang, Yu Gong was defeated by Lai Huer in Mengzhou; Tang Gong Li Yuan took Li Shimin and others to kill Xiao Tianyou, lightly replaced Zhou, and marched towards Jinyang; Yang Yichen, the governor of Shanzhou, did not disgrace his mission, defeated Yang Ji, and led his troops to chase after him after regaining Liyang; at the same time, Xiao Tianzuo's trip to Yanzhao met Luo Yi, the king of Youyan, and his son, which became his nightmare. Xiao Tianzuo was killed in battle, and his remnants returned in defeat, but Luo's father and son did not pursue him.

Up to now, Han Wang Yang Jie has also gone all out, leading the remaining troops in a dying struggle.During the fierce battle, soldiers from the Iron Spear General Hu'er, Li Yuan and his son, and Yang Yichen chased after them and joined the battle group. Yang Jie, who couldn't resist at all, was killed and fled in defeat.

His subordinates kept him fighting to the death, and when they managed to get out of the siege, they threw off the pursuers. When the number was counted, the King of Han cried. This time, the defeat was even worse. Even counting the fatalities, there were less than 3000 troops. The 50 army was left with only this little property, and the king of Han couldn't help beating his feet and beating his chest. He cried and took this little remnant of the defeated generals to retreat to Bingzhou. He was soon captured by the city and sent to the capital.

So far, the vigorous Hanwang rebellion movement has come to an end. Using a natural phenomenon to describe it, it is like a summer storm. It seems vigorous, but in fact it comes and goes in a hurry.

After suppressing the rebellion of the King of Han, Yang Guang happily took over the 52 states of the King of Han, but when he thought that Yang Yong and Gong Yechang were still in exile, Yang Guang couldn't help but feel restless again. Yong and Gongye Chang must meet people in life and corpses in death, and those who do not report their knowledge are guilty of the same crime as the rebels!
