- Chapter 501: A soldier of Fan Gu¡¯s border army
The emperor breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw the rebels retreating like a tide, and the relief and pride on his face became stronger and stronger: "I was always worried and afraid I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to wait until this day. I feel sorry for Li Yuanshan who has been causing trouble to the three peoples in the northwest for three years, but I finally didn¡¯t leave it to the prince to solve it. Now I am stealing God¡¯s time. I will be very proud if I steal one more day. ¡±
"Your Majesty has stopped taking medicine these days, and his health is getting better day by day."
Su Buwei said with his head lowered.
The emperor smiled: "Didn't I say that although the northwest is tired, desolate and cold, it is clean. I remember reading the records of the Ministry of Household Affairs over the years. Counting all the places in the Sui Dynasty, the people of the three northwest districts died in various places. The number of people suffering from the plague was the least, and there were almost no disease disasters. When the plague was rampant in Jiangnan more than 20 years ago, many wealthy people came to the northwest to take refuge. This place is actually very good for medicine I am. I will never eat again, and I will never read the memorial again. Since I am enjoying the stolen time, it is a sin to spend all my time on this. I have made many decisions over the years, and this decision is the least against my will. Be worthy of yourself.¡±
He stretched out his hand and asked Su Buwei to help him stand up: "Go back, the smell of blood has already drifted over, and I don't want to smell it. The victory or defeat has been decided, there is no need to watch anymore."
"Your Majesty, Hou Wenji is back."
Su Buwei said in a low voice.
"Let him go directly to Jin Shixiong. Over the past year, he has almost figured out the details of the rebels. Even if the chaos in the northwest is settled, Hou Wenji will still stay in the northwest for a while to help Jin Shixiong clean up the three areas in the northwest. Once again. He is better than anyone at arresting people and investigating cases."
"Your Majesty has not seen him?"
"He's gone. He knows in his heart why I haven't seen him. In the past year or so, has he been purely thinking about doing things for me? If I don't point it out, it doesn't mean I don't know. Let him take care of himself and don't make mistakes just because he is smart. Own."
"I will send someone to tell him right now."
"Um"
The emperor hummed and walked back slowly. He looked at the scenery around him with a smile on his face. But Su Buwei knew that no one could truly understand His Majesty the Emperor's thoughts. When he is smiling, he may not be in a really good mood.
The rebel front army was defeated first after Shi Lei led his men to escape. The rebel soldiers who lost their command were like flies that had lost their heads and were stumbling around. Although Li Yuanshan used the arrow formation to prevent the rout from attacking the formation, because all the arrangements of the Sui army were based on the tactics he had formulated before and were subject to others, the rout still spread uncontrollably. Both wings were defeated by the Sui army one after another, and General Zhou Dingguo died in the rebellion. Prince Yi Li Yuankuo underestimated the enemy and rushed in and was trapped by the Sui army. The personal soldiers protected him and rushed left and right to finally break out of the encirclement. However, when he looked up, he realized that he had bumped into the Sui army's central army. After being trapped again, he could only kneel down. surrender.
After the heavy cavalry was blocked, the rebels were no longer able to reverse their defeat.
Li Yuanshan retreated to Xiping City under the protection of about 60,000 to 70,000 infantrymen, fighting as he went. On the ground of Mandu Banner, Jin Shixiong's men and horses all died in the hands of You Xiaowei. How could Jin Shixiong let Li Yuanshan go so easily at this time. He personally led the Chinese army to crush them forward, ignoring the rebels who knelt down and surrendered along the way.
Later, Li Yuanshan¡¯s men were running in front, followed by the Sui army chasing them. Behind the Sui army were rebels, and behind the rebels were the Sui army. The distance from the place of decisive battle to Xiping City was only twenty miles, and these twenty miles were a complete mess. The men and horses on both sides were entangled but rarely fought anymore. They all just ran forward.
General Yang Youzhi led the Sui army behind to clean up the mess, but they were more than ten miles away from Jin Shixiong's troops.
In order to hold off the pursuers behind him, Li Yuanshan kept abandoning troops one after another. When the team he ordered to stay to stop Jin Shixiong understood their situation, they simply threw their weapons aside and squatted down without even fighting. On the ground, the Sui army led by Jin Shixiong really didn't bother to pay attention to them, and still clung to Li Yuanshan's rear team.
Yang Youzhi, who brought more than 30,000 troops to gather the prisoners, later had to ask the emperor to send troops to assist him. The number of prisoners gathered exceeded 100,000, and his team was somewhat overwhelmed.
Seeing that it was getting closer and closer to Xiping City, Li Yuanshan kept urging the team to speed up. The infantry company ran for twenty miles in fear and was exhausted. When they finally saw Xiping City, many people cried with excitement.
"When you leave the city, who will guard the city?"
Li Yuanshan asked Song Qianhui.
Song Qianhui said quickly: "When I leave the city, I willThousands of troops in the city were handed over to General Leitai. "
Li Yuanshan didn¡¯t remember this person, but it didn¡¯t matter if he thought about it. His team expanded too fast, not to mention a general with thousands of people, even the general Li Yuanshan with tens of thousands of rebels under his command, there were a few whose faces and names I couldn't remember.
"Send someone to ask him to open the city gate!"
Li Yuanshan said loudly.
"ah?"
Song Qianhui was stunned for a moment, and then he realized: "No When I left the city, Qian Dingzhu and Wan told him not to close the city gate!"
Hearing these words, Li Yuanshan's face suddenly turned pale. He reined in his horse fiercely and raised his head to look at the city wall. He had not noticed it before, but after looking carefully, he discovered that there was no trace of the defenders on Xiping City!
"No, this Leitai actually abandoned the city and ran away!"
Song Qianhui's expression changed greatly, and he quickly ordered: "He must have escaped from the north gate, and then asked people to close the south gate for fear of being discovered. Your Majesty I was negligent. I didn't expect that this thunder platform would abandon the city." And escape."
"There is no time to care about this. Maybe the city gate is not holding up. Send someone to push it!"
His soldiers immediately led a group of people and rushed toward the city gate. At this time, the Sui army behind them was less than a mile away from them. Hundreds of rebel soldiers rushed to the city gate, and they worked together to push the city gate. Only then did they realize that the city gate was not blocked, and everyone burst into cheers. Li Yuanshan breathed a long sigh of relief and urged his horses to lead the men into the city immediately.
¡¡
¡¡
After the city gate opened, the empty streets immediately appeared in front of everyone. Where could you see the shadow of the soldiers who were left behind in Xiping City. The rebel battle flags were scattered everywhere, as well as clothes, armor and weapons. It must have been discarded by the rebels who were defending the city when they fled. They did not dare to wear the uniforms and armor of the rebels and did not dare to escape with their weapons. They were probably afraid of being caught by the imperial army during a subsequent search.
"I"
Li Yuanshan opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. When he entered the city, he felt a pain in his heart when he saw the empty city. This feeling of betrayal and separation was like a knife cutting back and forth in his heart. First, Shi Lei escaped before the battle, and then all the rebels who stayed in Xiping City ran away. At this time, Li Yuanshan actually had the illusion that he was waking up from a dream. The events of the previous few years were vivid in my mind, but they suddenly became unreal like a great spring and autumn dream.
"Hurry into town"
Song Qian will urge the rebels behind to enter the city quickly. They can no longer allow everyone to come in. The last soldiers have been stuck by the Sui army. If they wait for them, they can only send the Sui army into Xiping together.
The hundred or so people who entered the city pushed open the city gate and got out of the way, and the cavalry protecting Li Yuanshan immediately swarmed in. About four to five hundred people came in, and Li Yuanshan ordered the archers to quickly go to the city wall to defend. At this moment, a loud bang suddenly came from the city gate, followed by wailing and cursing.
Li Yuanshan immediately looked back and his pupils shrank instantly!
The thousand-pound gate on the city gate was suddenly lowered for some unknown reason. The heavy stone gate instantly blocked the city gate hole. The soldiers who had no time to dodge were crushed underneath and turned into pulp in an instant. The rebels outside couldn't get in and started yelling and cursing crazily, while the people in the city were shocked and didn't know what was happening.
At this time, suddenly a large flag was erected on the city wall and fluttered in the wind. The big Sui characters on the fiery red battle flag made people tremble with fear. As the flag was raised, several numbers appeared on the city wall. Unknown soldiers had already drawn their bows and aimed at the hundreds of rebels in the city.
When Li Yuanshan saw this scene, he felt his heart stopped beating.
Song Qianhui screamed in fright and couldn't control himself and fell off the horse.
The soldiers who appeared on the city wall were wearing the Sui Dynasty's standard leather armor, holding hard bows in their hands, already fully drawn, just waiting for an order. At this time, the rebels gathered near the city gate all felt like they were being targeted by death. No one doubts that as long as those soldiers loosen their bowstrings, the chains of death will drag them into hell.
"Your Majesty, rush to the city and rush out of the north gate!"
Song Qian who fell to the ground would struggle to stand up and shout, his voice becoming hoarse and unpleasant due to fear. But just before he could react after calling Li Yuanshan, large groups of cavalry suddenly poured out from all the streets in the city and quickly surrounded them and blocked the rebels near the city gate.
When they saw those cavalry appearing, all the rebels were frightened to death.
Those cavalry were not wearing the uniforms and armor of the Sui army, and many of them were even shirtless. They held sabers one and a half meters long in their hands, and the big black braids on the back of their heads showedwith their identities.
"Barbarians from Northern Liao!"
Someone was so frightened that he fell to the ground and threw aside the horizontal knife in his hand with a bang.
The cavalrymen from Northern Liao reined in their horses and formed a semicircular array to block all the rebels. The back of the rebels was sealed by the Thousand Jin Gate, and in front were the murderous barbarians from Northern Liao, and the city wall was filled with the Sui troops who were already waiting. No matter how you looked at it, there was no way to survive.
Li Yuanshan didn¡¯t find anyone he recognized among the Northern Liao cavalry on the opposite side. He turned to look at the top of the city wall, and saw a strange young man under the bright red battle flag. This man stood there with no weapon in his hand. Although he was dozens of meters away, Li Yuanshan still felt the coldness in his eyes. It was the murderous aura that the young man did not conceal and was unwilling to suppress.
Li Yuanshan didn¡¯t know why the Sui troops on the city wall and those barbarians from Northern Liao suddenly appeared, but precisely because of the appearance of the Hanqi from Northern Liao, he immediately guessed the origins of these people. Only in the Sui army on Langru Mountain were there cavalry from the Northern Liao region.
But Xiping City and Langru Mountain are thousands of miles apart, so why do these people suddenly appear here? !
"Put down your weapons!"
The archers on the city wall shouted loudly. The rebels looked at each other, not knowing who lost their weapons first. Then everyone threw their weapons far away for fear of provoking attacks from the archers.
Li Yuanshan watched the young man in black robe walking slowly down the city wall, but he couldn't find the slightest impression in his mind. He didn't feel any familiarity with this young man. This person must have never appeared in his past life, but why was the coldness in his eyes so strong? That must be hatred, Li Yuanshan felt a cold feeling on his back.
"Who are you"
He looked at the young man and asked.
"A small soldier of Fan Gu's border army"
The young man with a handsome face answered seriously, but Li Yuanshan did not react for a moment. After a few seconds, he was suddenly startled, and then subconsciously pulled his horse back a few steps.
"How to solve it?!"
The young man nodded: "I didn't expect you to still remember this name. It's very good very good very good. Otherwise, I have to explain who I am, which is troublesome." - Didn't finish reading?
