The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 181

"Xu Zhi, you lead an army to attack the rebel water camp. You must capture and control the enemy warship."

"Minghua, after you lead an army around Xiangyang City, play by ear!"

Generals Xu Zhi and Minghua were originally the deputy of the county magistrate Zhang Xun.

But this time because Gao Qi appointed Su Lie as the head coach of the raid, he couldn't find a suitable candidate for the deputy general.

Although Zhang He and Su Lie have always cooperated tacitly, they usually have a good personal relationship.

It is obviously inappropriate for Zhang He to be Su Lie's lieutenant general.

After all, Zhang Xi was the first general under Gao Qi's command, and he had followed Gao Qi in the south and north wars since the conquest of the Yellow Turban.

The feats he has made are countless, and he has long been recognized as the number one general under Gao Qi's command.

Secondly, the encirclement and annihilation of the [-] rebel army this time is not only important in the raid on Xiangyang.

In the ensuing counterattack of the rebels, the main force of the Yanmen Army will also implement the most important plan of annihilation.

Therefore, generals such as Zhang Yun and Huang Zhong cannot be easily transferred.

At this critical moment, Zhang Xun did not seek selfishness, so he loaned Xu Zhi and Ming Hua out.

This time, the reason why Gao Qi handed over the heavy task of raiding Xiangyang to Su Lie.

After the Battle of Northern Xinjiang, Su Lie stayed at Yanmen and was under Gao Qi's command.

At that time, Su Lie's five dimensions were Commander 90, Force 93, Intelligence 80, Politics 78, and Charm 87.

And after several years of fighting with the barbarians, and gradually being tempered by Gao Qi, Su Lie's five dimensions can be said to have grown rapidly.

Now Su Lie Wuwei is Commander 95, Force 96, Intelligence 85, Politics 80, and Charm 92.

One must know that Su Lie is only twenty-five years old now.

As a general who has been able to destroy countries and capture leaders several times in history, Su Lie's five dimensions certainly cannot be limited to this.

There is definitely a lot of room for improvement in the future.

Therefore, what Gao Qi needs now is to hone Su Lie's ability and qualifications, and have more opportunities to be alone with Su Lie.

Therefore, for the strategic operation of raiding Xiangyang this time, Gao Qi resisted all opinions and firmly took Su Lie as his general.

Therefore, Su Lie was very grateful to Gao Qi for his attention, and vowed to take Xiangyang in one fell swoop, in return for Gao Qi's determination.

When the order was issued, the Yanmen Army stood upright with their swords, guns, swords and halberds ready to go.

The warship is still moving forward, ready to attack Xiangyang at any time.

…………

In Xiangyang City, the scholar surnamed Cui standing alone on the city wall and looking into the distance became more and more restless.

This feeling is as if some major change is about to happen in Xiangyang, or it is about to fall.

However, the literati surnamed Cui couldn't figure it out. During the Northern Expedition of his own army of [-].

Who can threaten this important town of our own side.

"boom!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of shouting and killing in the distance, which completely alarmed the scribes surnamed Cui.

Hearing that, the scholar surnamed Cui was about to go down to the city and order the messengers to investigate quickly.

But at this time, some soldiers rushed up the city wall and reported to the scribe Cui.

There are many Sui troops outside the water camp, and they are now struggling to attack the water gate.

All of a sudden, the emergence of this piece of information immediately made the scribe Cui find the source of his anxiety.

"So it is!"

"Why didn't I expect that the Sui army would make a detour to attack from here?"

In an instant, the scholar surnamed Cui was very annoyed. He really did not expect that the Sui army would bypass Fangling County, which is adjacent to Nanyang, and cross the river to make a surprise attack.

After a long time, the scholar surnamed Cui seemed to have thought of something, his face changed drastically, and he hurriedly ordered: "Quickly, organize the whole army to rescue the water camp."

"All the warships of our army are stored in the water camp. If the Sui army takes them away."

"In the future, our army will completely lose its advantage in fighting the Sui army on the river."

After figuring this out, the scholar surnamed Cui didn't explain too much, and hurriedly led his army to the water camp outside the city.

However, how could Su Lie, who worked so hard to seize the water camp of the rebel army, allow the rebel army to support the water camp as he wished?

I saw that on the only way between Shuiying and Xiangyang City, an army was standing in a neat and uniform formation, ready to wait.

Looking carefully, this elite army is not the Yanmen Army, but what army?
And the main general in the army formation is also Su Lie.

As early as when Su Lie ordered Xu Zhi to raid the water camp, he expected that the rebels in the city would come out to rescue after hearing the news that the water camp was lost.

Therefore, Su Lie directly led his army to block the only way to wait for the rebels to come to help.

However, it is worth mentioning that the defense of the rebels is too weak.

You know, the Yanmen Army came from the river quickly in mighty warships.

But the rebels only became alert when the Yanmen Army was approaching the shore.

…………

Thousands of rebels hurried on the road under the fast pace of the literati surnamed Cui, and soon arrived at the formation of the Yanmen Army.

With a sweep of his gaze, he saw that the Sui army's formation was arranged extremely carefully, without any flaws at all.

The scholar surnamed Cui couldn't help but feel a layer of emotion, but he also knew that it was urgent to rescue the water camp.

Taking a deep breath, he slowly ordered: "Soldiers, break through the Sui army formation and rescue the water camp."

Hearing the order, although thousands of rebel soldiers rushed forward one after another, the sound that erupted was weak and chaotic.

At first glance, there is no fighting power at all!

The remaining rebel army was originally old and weak soldiers, and the real elite had been brought to the front by the main general Xiao Ling.

Therefore, those who stayed in Xiangyang were only old and weak soldiers with very weak combat effectiveness.

As the rebels began to charge, Su Lie just let out a sneer and ordered the whole army to fire.

For a moment, the sky was filled with arrows like rain, as if it was raining, countless arrows shot at the rebels one after another.

In an instant, screams rang out again and again, endlessly!
Blood and water were intertwined and mixed together, and the battle situation was even more tragic for a while.

But the cruelest is yet to come, with the continuous firing of bows and arrows of the Yanmen Army.

The rebel soldiers who were in a hurry to rescue had no shields to defend against arrows at all.

Can't help but suffer heavy casualties for a while!

At this time, a weapon suddenly leaked from the battleship of the Yanmen Army.

As soon as this weapon appeared, the rebel army was in chaos and panic.

This weapon was exactly the chariot that Zheng Chenggong offered to Xue Rengui.

The rebel soldiers had already participated in the battle of crossing the river that day.

They are deeply aware of the terrifying power of this chariot, even the indestructible battleship can be easily destroyed.

What's more, what about their flesh and blood now?

However, it's not that the enemy is afraid, the Yanmen Army will be merciful.

In an instant, Su Lie gave the launch command.

In a short time, dozens of chariots launched countless boulders one after another.

The power of the incomparable situation slowly smashed down.

"Ahhh!"

I saw that the boulder fell into the rebel army, and there was an endless miserable sound.

Countless rebel soldiers were hit by boulders one after another and fell in a pool of blood.

The chariots continued to be launched, and the casualties of the rebels also expanded infinitely.

…………

In the middle of the formation, Su Lie's face revealed a sense of unnecessary self-confidence.

That is a kind of self-confidence in control of the overall situation.

Beep, Su Lie's skill was detected...
