The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 719 Lei Shimeng's Defeat
"Yang Yong, I'm going to fight with you! Come on!" Lei Shi had a fierce face, and rushed towards Yang Yong with Wang Duo and others.

Wang Duo was stopped by Zhao Sihai, don't look at Zhao Sihai can only use one hand to lance at this time, the other arm is hanging, but Wang Duo is also a little scared when he sees the lion-like figure, the two used to be ministers in the same palace, Everyone knows how much they have, but now Wang Duo has to bite the bullet and do his best. Fortunately, Zhao Sihai is injured and can only use his arm. Otherwise, Wang Duo would not dare to fight Zhao Sihai anyway, just like this , the two of them immediately stepped down and killed in one place, and it was hard to tell the winner.

Here, Lei Shi smashed his horse and rushed towards Yang Yong, and chopped it up with a knife.Don't underestimate Lei Shimeng, he didn't get the title of King of Qin out of thin air, and he is also a fierce general who wields a sword on the battlefield.

But Yang Yong really didn't take him seriously. Yang Yong, who had a good chance of winning, didn't panic at this time, and played a trick for him. He reined in his horse and stood there without moving. Now, don't dodge or dodge, when the blade is not far away from his head, Lei Shimeng can no longer withdraw the blade and change his moves, Yang Yong raises his hand and shoots up to meet him, using only [-]% of his strength, and with a clang he dies. Lei Shimeng's knife collapsed and flew away.

This shot seems simple, but it is actually very dangerous and has a high technical content. The main thing is to grasp the fire accurately. He was hacked on.Therefore, without precise marksmanship and full courage, I dare not use this trick.

Lei Shimeng was so frightened that he turned his head and ran away, but Yang Yong didn't chase him, and shouted: "This king only needs Lei Shimeng's head, and the others can surrender without blame, and those who surrender will not die!"

These few words of Yang Yong have the obvious intention to disintegrate the morale of the soldiers around Lei Shimeng. Yang Yong does not want to kill too many people. Lei Shimeng is the chief culprit. As long as he obeys the law, his soldiers will only be followers. You don't have to ask.

There was nowhere for Lei Shimeng to escape, Yang Yong's men and horses were everywhere. After he ran around, he was cut off by a centurion of his personal guard, and his head was chopped off again. The captain got off his horse and threw away his sword and gun, and held Lei Shimeng's head on his knees to beg for surrender.Hundreds of Liang Jun soldiers also knelt down and begged to surrender.

At this time, Wang Duo was knocked off the horse by Zhao Sihai. Before Wang Duo got up, Zhao Sihai came to him in a flash and stepped on his chest with his big feet. Wang Duo could not move, begging for mercy, and shouted willing to surrender.

Zhao Sihai scolded: "You rascal, who cares about your surrender!" As he spoke, he raised his hand and dropped the lance, and the big lance pierced through his chest, nailing Wang Duo to the ground, blood spattering, Wang Duo screamed, and died unexpectedly .

Near noon, the battle was over, and Songmen Mountain Island was occupied by Yang Yong's rebel army.In this way, it took 21 days from Yang Yong's deployment of troops to besiege Songmen Mountain Island to the time the island was captured by Yang Yong's troops. At this point, Lin Shihong's Chu State came to an end.

In this battle, due to Yang Yong's good grasp of the fighter plane, when Lei Shimeng and Lin Shihong were fighting each other, they attacked the island overnight. At a small price of more than 6 casualties, they wiped out [-] troops of the Xiaoliang coalition army and captured three soldiers of the Liang army. More than [-] people, of course including Chu Jun who was just reorganized as Liang Jun by Lei Shimeng.

Yang Yong replied to the foreword, did not kill any of these captives, and allowed them to surrender. The task of reorganizing the captives was entrusted to the generals Luo Song and Yang Guowen, and they were escorted back to Yuzhang City first. In general, it is not allowed to mistreat the captives, not to search them, and not to interrogate them without permission. They should eat and drink three meals a day, and treat them like their own brothers.

The second general promised to take 3 elite soldiers and escort more than [-] prisoners back to Yuzhang first.

Yang Yong asked Zhang Jiaxiang, Zhang Ruixiang, and Kang Jinyu to lead people to rescue the wounded, clean the battlefield, bury the corpses, and deal with post-war affairs.People die without enmity. Yang Yong ordered people to put the corpses of Lin Shihong, Lei Shimeng, Zhang Dianchen, Yan Ming, Wang Duo and others in coffins and buried them separately. A joint burial.

At the same time, Yang Yong asked Liao Yong to take the spoils, such as horses, knives, guns, grain, gold, silver and jewelry, etc., first to register and record them, and then put them on a ship and transport them to Yuzhang by water.

Five days later, Yang Yong successfully moved his army and returned to Yuzhang with an army of nearly [-] land and water troops.At this time, Yuzhang City has been restored to its original state after more than a month of repair and reconstruction.After the propaganda of the rebel army, Zhang Gongjin was ordered to open a warehouse to release food and relieve refugees. The common people did not know about Yang Yong’s rebel army, and from fear to support. Now tens of thousands of households have moved into new homes in the city. Yang Yong’s brigade When entering the city, the common people were all empty, and they all spontaneously took to the streets to welcome Yang Yong's volunteer army.

When Yang Yong rode into the city on a snow leopard, the streets and alleys inside and outside the city were full of welcoming soldiers and civilians. Many people raised their arms and shouted: "Long live Yang Yong! Long live the king of righteousness!"

Seeing the enthusiastic and exciting scene immediately, Yang Yong was so excited that he waved to everyone frequently.

After settling down the troops, Yang Yong began to reward the army by killing cattle and sheep, and congratulated the three armies in the city for three days.A month later, the military adviser Xu Maogong led an army of [-] to move successfully and returned to Yuzhang.

Yang Yong was overjoyed when he heard the news, and led his generals out of the city to meet him.At the same time, Yang Yong was also puzzled. Three months ago, he gave Xu Maogong 5 horses and asked him to take generals Gongyechang, Yuchigong, Lin Wenyuan, Hou Junji, etc. to the south to take advantage of Lin Shihong's inability to go south and take back the southern Chu State. In the vast area, how come there are 1 more horses now?
Xu Maogong reported the details to him after meeting, and Yang Yong knew what was going on.It turned out that Xu Maogong's people lived up to their trust, and they attacked states and counties along the way, and they were like a broken bamboo. At the same time, Xu Maogong paid attention to publicizing the policy of the rebel army. Relief for refugees was also needed, which won the hearts of the people, so in many places, no sword or gun was used. As soon as Xu Maogong's soldiers arrived, the guards of the Chu army either abandoned the city and fled, or surrendered under the seal.

Therefore, they basically didn't have any setbacks, and completed their mission in just three months. According to today's territory, Guangdong, Fujian, and vast areas in southern Jiangxi were all covered with the flag of Yang Yong's volunteer army.

By reorganizing the captives of the Chu army and accepting ordinary people to sign up to join the army, Xu Maogong’s army has more than doubled from the 6 when he left Yang Yong. He led the remaining [-] troops to return to Yang Yong.

Yang Yong saw that Xu Maogong was really a great talent, not only able to lead troops to fight, but also to govern the country, so he immediately rewarded Xu Maogong and his soldiers, and then congratulated him.

During this period, Yang Yong also told Xu Maogong and others about the process of defeating Lin Shihong and Lei Shimeng, and introduced the newly surrendered general Zhao Sihai to Xu Maogong and others.

Once Yang Yong was happy, he named the "Second Fighters" again in public. The first one was the silver stick general Zhang Jiaxiang, and the second one was the shovel general Zhao Sihai.These are the two rising stars after the "Four Beams", "Five Tigers" and "Eight Biao", and they are also Yang Yong's right-hand men.

At this time, the hour hand has already pointed to the end of November in 618 AD. Yang Yongqu made a calculation. It has been two years since he conquered the south of the Yangtze River. , now there is only one Liang Wang Xiao Mian left, and he is the next target. When Xiao Liang is eliminated, there will be only one strong enemy left, and that is the father and son of the Li family of Datang.

Because it was the end of the year, the weather was very cold and snowy, and it was not suitable for marching and fighting, so Yang Yong had to put the plan of attacking Xiao Mian in the next spring.The army gathered in Yuzhang City, trained its men and horses, and managed the land it gained.

The state of Chu, aided by Xiao Liang's [-] troops, perished in less than half a year. Lin Shihong and Lei Shimeng were killed by their subordinates one after another. Later, he quickly called civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures.
