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

Chapter 544
With the comfort of Ling Jing and Song Zhengben, the anger that filled Xiong Kuohai's body slowly calmed down.

However, Xiong Kuohai still has deep prejudices against Xu Yuanlang.

This kind of estrangement cannot be eliminated in a short time!
"Mr. Song, Commander Ling, quickly send troops to storm the pass city and rescue King Xia!"

For a moment, Xiong Kuohai was so anxious that he roared out with anger almost from the bottom of his heart.

Xiong Kuo Hai was just a bandit in the early days, if he hadn't been promoted to the army by Dou Jiande.

I'm afraid the current Dou Jiande is still reckless!
It can be seen from this that Dou Jiande has received kindness from Xiong Kuo Hai.

Therefore, after hearing that Dou Jiande was captured, Xiongkuohai caused chaos and anger!
However, after putting forward this suggestion, not only Song Zhengben and Ling Jing refused on the spot, but even the general Wang Fubao also refused.

For a moment, Xiong Kuohai was so angry that his body trembled, and he shouted angrily: "You... you?"

"Don't forget how King Xia treats you on weekdays."

"But you don't care about asking, are you worthy of King Xia's favor on weekdays? Do you still have any shame?"

All of a sudden, although Xiong Kuo Hai looked tall and burly, he was a typical stupid big man.

But at this time, when Xiong Kuohai talked about the truth, he was in the same way.

This also proves a truth, the big fool can't control the truth when he talks about it.

However, Xiong Kuohai's statement is also based on the fact that Dou Jiande is indeed in favor of the army on weekdays, and his military prestige is very high.

Because the pain of the wound was brought up, the generals had no face to face it, they all lowered their heads and remained silent.

After scolding for a long time, Wang Fubao still refused to fight and attack Chengguan!
What's more so is that Song Zhengben actually offered a plan, and the whole army withdrew, slowly retreated to the Yellow River, and returned across the river.

Seeing this, Xiong Kuohai couldn't hold back his squeezed anger any longer, and broke out in an instant, shouting: "Okay, that's great!"

"I didn't expect that the civil and military ministers that King Xia valued would have a rebellious heart. He would not save his life, but led the army back to Hebei to seize his foundation."

"This is really a good courtier!"

As soon as this remark came out, all the generals were shocked!

In fact, the reason why the generals were shocked was because they didn't want to put on such a big hat.

Why did Xiong Kuo Hai say this?The key reason is that Dou Jiande has only one daughter under his knees and no son.

Therefore, Xiong Kuohai became angry after all the civil and military personnel agreed with the order to withdraw troops.

Moreover, it is precisely because Dou Jiande has no children under his knees that Li Shimin's heart was caught after seeing Dou Jiande.

Because, since he has no heirs, it means that once Dou Jiande makes a mistake, the foundation he has worked so hard to build will lead to a situation where no one will inherit it.

This is also the reason why Hebei turned from prosperity to decline after Dou Jiande was captured alive by Li Shimin in the original history.

In this life, Dou Jiande still did not escape the reincarnation of fate, and was still captured alive under the Jindi Pass.

Seeing that he couldn't convince the generals, Xiong Kuohai couldn't help being disappointed, and murmured: "Haha!"

"Prince Xia, this is your good civil and martial arts!"

Suddenly, Xiong Kuohai was both sad and angry, and slowly the remnants left the military tent.

Since the command power under his command rests with Wang Fubao, although Dou Jiande is the number one general under his command, he has no military power.

······
Seeing Xiong Kuohai leave the military tent, Wang Fubao couldn't help muttering: "You two military advisers, do you want to explain?"

"If this continues, General Fearful has a high opinion of us!"

Hearing this, Song Zhengben thought for a while, and said: "Let's not talk about it for now, after the whole army has withdrawn to Hebei, I will personally plead guilty to General Xiong and explain the situation."

"King Xia has the kindness to know him. At this time, General Xiong is angry, and it is useless to talk about it."

Since Song Zhengben objected to the temporary secrecy, Wang Fubao immediately forbade the proposal, and instead discussed with everyone secretly about the retreat.

It's just that everyone is discussing the withdrawal of troops.

At this time, Xiong Kuohai slowly walked out of the tent, walked to the stable, stroked the horse he usually rode, and sighed.

"Hey, Xiao Hei, up to this moment, you are still by my side!"

"All the people in this tent are the direct descendants of the great king, and they were promoted to the top."

"But it's really like this, but they are all greedy for life and afraid of death, and they refuse to step forward, but retreat in front of the battle."

For a moment, after Xiong Kuohai spoke for a long time, Xiao Hei struggled irritablely and stood restlessly!

"Hey, what's wrong with you, blackie?"

"Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei?"

Just when Xiong Kuo Hai called, Xiao Hei suddenly roared several times.

In an instant, Xiong Kuohai immediately reacted and said, "Xiao Hei, you are right!"

"Since they are all ungrateful people and refuse to rescue King Xia, why not save them themselves?"

Having figured this out, Xiong Kuohai was overjoyed and muttered to himself.

Afterwards, Xiong Kuohai took out the horse under his crotch, and then went to summon the sergeants who were willing to sneak into the pass and rescue Dou Jiande.

It's a pity that Xiong Kuo Hai is Dou Jiande's personal general, but he can't command the army.

Therefore, no matter what Xiong Kuohai said, there was no response from the sergeant.

Until the end, only two thousand soldiers were willing to go with him, but this army was formed by Xiong Kuohai himself in order to protect Dou Jiande Zhouquan.

However, having a soldier is better than a single-handed horse. Xiong Kuohai believes that his side is traveling in secret.

In addition to martial arts, it shouldn't be a problem to sneak in and rescue Dou Jiande in the dark.

This is the truest thought in Xiong Kuo Hai's heart now!

That being the case, just do what you want, Xiong Kuohai immediately summoned two thousand soldiers, took away the horses, and galloped out quietly.

Since everyone agreed to withdraw the troops, Xiong Kuo Hai was already full of barriers in his heart.

Therefore, at this moment, Xiong Kuohai led two thousand soldiers out of the camp quietly and went to rescue alone.

······
With the delay of time, it was already dead of night at this time, walking in the dense forest, it was pitch black, and there was no movement at all.

Due to the shortage of troops, Xiongkuohai did not go straight to Xingguan City from the avenue, but bypassed the dense jungle.

Entering the early summer of summer, the night is also extremely beautiful, with a bright full moon in the middle of the sky, and countless stars shining beside it.

Each star released its own light, passing by like a baby blinking.

Among its dense flowers, fireflies with glowing buttocks are also flying around.

This scene seemed to be leading the way for Xia Jun!
Because Xiong Kuohai was worried about Dou Jiande's life, he couldn't help ordering all the soldiers to go fast along the way.

Although Xia Jun chose the lush jungle road, there are still thin official roads in it.

It can also tolerate the cavalry galloping forward, so Xia Jun can speed up!
After marching for a long time, they passed through the dense forest and arrived at Chaotic Mountain.

Luanshi Mountain, Jindi Pass is several miles behind it. In other words, as long as they pass through Luanshi Mountain, Xia Jun can successfully reach the pass and carry out a surprise attack secretly.

At this moment, Xiong Kuo Hai's heart was already in turmoil, and he couldn't tell the strength between the two sides at all.

He also foolishly led the army to throw himself into the trap, but unfortunately the authorities were confused, and Xiong Kuohai's death was imminent, but he still didn't realize it.

However, the terrain of Luanshi Mountain is steep, and it is impossible to pass through it on horseback.

Arriving here, Xiong Kuohai ordered the whole army to dismount, put the horses in the jungle, and pass on foot.

For a moment, Xiong Kuo Hai took the lead, galloping at the forefront, slowly advancing towards Guancheng.

······
On the rocky mountain, in the dark night, there are tens of thousands of eyes fixed on Xia Jun who is slowly passing by.

Looking carefully, this army soldier in the dark night is wearing Tang Army armor, and it is obvious that it is a Tang Army soldier in Guanzhong.

After a long time, when Xia Jun was almost halfway through the passage, Li Shimin drew his sword and stood up instantly, raising his sword and saying: "All troops obey orders!"

"Set fire and shoot the thieves."

All of a sudden, following Li Shimin's order, many soldiers of the Tang army emerged from the rocks in the night.

They all drew their bows and arrows, tied Martian arrows, and aimed at the trail below the mountain.

"Whistling!"

Accompanied by a gust of wind, the cloaks of Li Shimin and other generals whistled.

Seeing this, Li Shimin saw that the time was coming, and ordered mercilessly: "Let go!"

"Shhhhhh!"

Suddenly, the arrow pierced through the sky and landed on the rocky path, and the arrow stained with sparks was about to explode!
Almost landed on the trail, and a heroic fire was ignited!
Not only that, the fire took advantage of the wind, and in a short while, the fire soared into the sky, and the long fire dragon blocked the way of Xia Jun.

It was even compressing Xia Jun's space more and more urgently.

Suddenly, Xia Jun's soldiers were in a mess, not knowing how to fight!

This was actually Li Shimin's plan. After planning to capture Dou Jiande, Li Shimin guessed that there would be internal strife among his Xia army.

Afterwards, a military rescue was launched, so it was directly decided to set up an ambush here to ambush the bandit army.

In fact, its roads have long been paved with flammable materials such as saltpeter and hay.

Coupled with the fact that the fire took advantage of the wind, of course the flames soared into the sky in an instant!

It's just that it's dark night, and the rocky mountain is too high, blocking the bright light on the path.

When Xia Jun was passing by, he ignored the flammable objects all over the ground. The key is that Xiong Kuohai never expected that Tang Jun would set up an ambush here.

Immediately afterwards, the arrows continued, but now they were not arrows smeared with sparks.

It is a sharp weapon with a sharp arrow that can kill people.

Thousands of arrows were fired at the same time, and there were endless screams on the path, and soldiers fell to the ground from time to time, blood flowing like rivers.

Now, Xiong Kuohai has not realized that he has fallen into a trap, and he is still waving a cooked copper stick to cover his whole body.

With his high martial arts skills, no arrows could get close to him, and they were bounced off by cooked copper sticks one after another.

"The whole army retreats, retreat quickly!"

Seeing a bloody soldier fell to the ground with an arrow, Xiong Kuohai's heart was bleeding, and his heart ached.

These are all elite soldiers trained by myself, but now they are falling to the ground one after another.

How many people can bear such a mood?

Immediately after the order to retreat was issued, Xiong Kuohai took the lead and led the entire army to withdraw gradually.

It took a huge price for hundreds of remnants of the Xia army to jump out of the flames.

As for the rest of the people, they either died under the arrows or were buried in the sea of ​​flames.

Immediately, the scouts in charge of inquiring about the military situation galloped up the mountain to report the latest situation to Li Shimin.

However, after hearing that Xia Jun had withdrawn safely, Li Shimin's face remained calm and calm.

After a long time, the cloud was calm and the wind was light, and said: "Haha!"

"Don't worry, none of the bandits can escape today."

······
At the junction of the jungle and the rocky mountain, Xia Jun was fleeing here urgently, preparing to ride his horses and return to the camp.

However, the moment Xiong Kuo Hai led the army to escape, before he had time to catch his breath, he was dumbfounded.

What they saw all around turned out to be a Tang army waiting in formation, ready to go, neatly lined up here.

Its banners stand everywhere, and the drums of war are like waves!

The most important thing is that Li Yuanba himself squatted here, holding a golden hammer, waiting for him.

"Xiong Kuo Hai, you will die today!"
