The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 724 Sifang Valley Great Victory

When Yang Yong's troops were about to arrive in Jiangxia, they suddenly received news that Li Yuanyu was personally conscripted and Li Jing was retreating from Jingzhou. Quickly order the team to stop temporarily and discuss countermeasures with Xu Maogong.

Xu Maogong frowned and said: "Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty is fighting with Liangshidu, Turkic, Mohe, Gaoli, etc., and several armies are fighting with each other. Li Yuan suddenly sent troops to us, and it is really unexpected that the imperial conquest is coming. Puzhou is far away from Jingzhou and us. Puzhou is in a hurry. Li Jing has retreated. Due to the delay of information, I don’t know what happened now. Daxing City may be in danger. Major General Bing, Xuan Cheng is hard to deal with, and I don't know if the pharmacist will arrive in time, if there is one person in thousands of miles, this matter will be troublesome, or we should withdraw our troops quickly."

Yang Yong also felt the seriousness of the problem. Xu Maogong was right, because he knew that Wei Zheng had no generals around him, and there were not many generals to call around Daxing City. Fortunately, Li Jing had returned to the army, and Yang Yong felt comforted.

But I also thought that Jingzhou is too far away from Puzhou, and Li Yuan, Li Xiuning, Chai Shao, Pei Ji, Li Shentong, Ma Sanbao, Duan Zhixuan, Yin Kaishan, Liu Hongji, all of them are famous people on the roster, none of them is simple, Li Jingbing No more than [-], no more than Shan Xiongxin, Cheng Yaojin and Ding Tianqing, whether they can fight against Li Yuan's men, Yang Yong really has no idea.

Yang Yong regrets a little now. He really shouldn’t have transferred Gongye Chang and Hou Junji away, but it’s useless to regret now. Things in the world are changing so fast, who can see through it, Zhuge Liang is so powerful, and he lost the street pavilion Woolen cloth.It's useless to say anything now, I'm far away in Jiangxi, too far away from Shaanxi, and now I can't make it halfway back to the army, as the saying goes, the water in the distance can't quench the thirst, I hope Li Jing can arrive in time to fight back Li Yuan's troops .Now that he couldn't withdraw his troops, Xiao Mian personally led the conquest, and the two groups of nearly 30 troops were attacking from the north to the south.

Thinking of this, I would like to be fair to Xu Mao: "Military division, you can't withdraw. Once we leave, the two armies of Xiao Mian will definitely follow up. The territory we have gained in the past two years will be cheaper than Xiao Liang. In the past two years, we have been working for Xiao Mian for free. So we can't withdraw our troops, even if we withdraw, we have to fight back Xiao Xian's army, let's leave the battle in Shaanxi to Yao Shi and Xuan Cheng, I believe they can handle it."

Xu Maogong nodded, then shook his head after thinking: "No, my lord, we not only have to withdraw our troops, but we also need to withdraw in a more embarrassing manner."

Yang Yong was taken aback, and Xu Maogong whispered the whole story in Yang Yong's ear. Only then did Yang Yong understand Xu Maogong's plan, and praised Xu Maogong's resourcefulness in his heart.So he decided to retreat immediately. Excluding the more than 15 casualties during the capture of Jiujiang, Yang Yong would have [-] soldiers at hand.

Yang Yong's troops were divided into two groups. Xu Maogong commanded 5 troops as the first group. The generals who followed the army included Luo Song, Yu Chigong, Zhang Gongjin, Kang Jinyu, Yang Guowen, etc. They retreated first, and they retreated. In order to resist Xiao Xian's Southern Route Army, Zhang Gongjin was still in charge of supervising the transportation of grain and grass.

The remaining 10 horses were led by Yang Yong himself, and retreated to Jiujiang in embarrassment, giving Liang Jun the illusion of fleeing in a hurry.This group of people is of course a fake retreat, besides the five beauties, the accompanying generals also include Zhang Jiaxiang, Zhao Sihai, Gong Yechang, Lin Wenyuan, etc., as well as Liao Yong, Baiyu, Bi'er, and Zhu'er's sailors.

According to Yang Yong's deployment, Xu Maogong's troops quietly withdrew in the middle of the night without anyone noticing. The next day, Yang Yong ordered Zhang Jiaxiang and Zhao Sihai to take 1 horses each to ambush along the way, and then took the main force to pretend to be embarrassed It looks like the wind is the wind and the fire is retreating to the Jiujiang area.

After Xiao Mian got the report, he was overjoyed. You finally retreated. Hurry up and return to your Jiangbei. If you retreat too late, your home will be gone. If you retreat, I will enter. The territory of the Five Kings of Jiangnan is mine!

So Xiao Mian gave an order to lead 15 people out of Jiangxia and pursue them.Along the way, Liang Jun picked up the rebels' knives and spears, gongs, drums and tents, including food, grass and supplies, and some rebels threw away the pots.Xiao Liangjun, who got the sweetness, was overjoyed, and chased after him even more vigorously.

When chasing to Qichun (today's Wuxue City, Hubei Province), Xiao Xian's men and horses entered the valley among the hills from the plain.

The valley in front of me is called Sifang Valley. Although it is called Sifang Valley, it is actually a narrow and long valley. The wide valley bottom is the road. On both sides of the valley, there are hills and low mountains. The whole valley is more than thirty miles long. .Since it is already spring now, the grasses are turning green and the trees are flourishing, the eyes are full of lush greenery, and the scenery is very beautiful.

It was past noon, and Song King Yang Daosheng came to Xiao Xian with his horse and saluted him: "Your Majesty, the terrain in this area is dangerous, so we must not fall into Yang Yong's ambush."

After being reminded, Xiao Mian was taken aback, and immediately looked at the terrain in front of him. He saw continuous hills and slopes on both sides, and the valley road in the middle was curved, and he couldn't see the edge at a glance.

Xiao Mi hurriedly ordered the team to stop, and sent Yuan Tan, Jin Tan, and Meteor Tan to explore the way.After more than half an hour, several scouts came back one after another, "Your Majesty, no ambush was found, and Yang Yong's men have already fled to the Ruichang area in embarrassment."

Xiao Mi laughed when he heard that, "King Song, are we being too careful? Yang Yong's backyard is on fire and his home is almost gone. How can he have the heart to ambush us here? , what is there to be afraid of!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Xian said to Banner Changlang: "Come on, pass on my word of mouth, enter the valley! Continue to chase and annihilate Yang Yong's men. Today, no matter what, we must take Ruichang, and tomorrow we will attack Jiujiang. How much will I eat? This time, let Yang Yong spit out twice as much!"

With one order, 10,000+ Liang Jun marched into Sifang Valley.The valley length of more than [-] miles cannot be passed at once, and even a quick march will take more than half an hour.When Xiao Mian's men and horses all marched to the middle of Sifang Valley, not to mention ambushes along the way, and they didn't even see a single person, Xiao Mian felt more relieved and ordered the three armies to march quickly.

Just when Xiao Xian's front troops were about to go out of the valley, and the rear troops had all entered the valley, suddenly there was loud drumming and shouts on both sides of the valley, and Zhang Jiaxiang and Zhao Sihai's [-] ambush soldiers rushed out from the hills on both sides of the valley. .

The soldiers reached 2 boundless, and [-] horses rushed to kill together. Naturally, there was a lot of movement. For a while, the mountains and plains were full of soldiers and horses from the rebel army. The ones who rushed in front were the rebel archers, there were infantry archers and horse archers. shot, and then Zhang Jiaxiang and Zhao Sihai personally led the team to rush down the hill like a sea.

Liang Jun was attacked suddenly, the arrows fell off the horses, the horses were frightened, the horses ran forward, the horses rushed backwards, people screamed, and there were not a few people who were trampled to death. Liang Jun was in chaos at that time, and the command failed .At this time, the high slopes on both sides of the rebel army rushed into the bottom of the valley, and the two sides fought in a scuffle. In the blink of an eye, there were corpses everywhere.

Soon, the 10,000+ Liang army was cut into three by Zhang Jiaxiang and Zhao Sihai's men. After getting the report, Yang Yong ordered the generals Gong Yechang and Lin Wenyuan to bring [-] cavalry back from Ruichang to kill, and at the same time let Liao Yong and Bai Yu, Bi Er and Zhu Er led the navy to attack Liang Jun's naval battalion. Yang Yong and five beauties prepared a celebration banquet and waited for the good news in Ruichang.

It was only a few dozen li away from Ruichang to Sifang Valley, and the [-] cavalry of Gongye Chang and Lin Wenyuan rushed there like a whirlwind.

As a result, the 10,000+ Liang army was defeated by the [-] rebel army. Xiao Mi saw that it was not good, so he quickly ordered his subordinates to retreat and break through.But the four generals Zhang Jiaxiang, Zhao Sihai, Gong Yechang, and Lin Wenyuan were all non-vegetarian. It was not easy for Liang Jun to retreat and break through the encirclement. It's over.

After dawn, you can see that the tens of Sifang Valley is full of corpses all over the mountains and plains, and the blood has dyed the rocks, the earth, and the vegetation red.Almost at the same time, the fierce battle in the Yangtze River also came to an end, so Xiao Xian's navy also returned in defeat.
