Sui Jun waved the flag to show the commander-in-chief, but Yang You embroidered the golden crimson flag. The sun shone and stung Li Yuan’s eyes.
"Pingyang Sui Jun seems to be bad." Li Yuan vaguely felt that Sui Jun’s purpose was not simple, unlike a few days ago, when he threw a few giant pieces of ice at will and hurried back.
Li Xiuning narrowed her eyes and looked dignified. She knew that Yang You’s killing would probably mean a fierce fight, but the last thing to do is to use force at all times, which is beneficial to Tang Jun. Is it that Yang You has become arrogant and blind after a long-term victory?
Li Xiuning thought that Sui Jun had built a high platform and a group of people boarded it. Yang You looked at Tang Jun Daying Road more than 500 steps away, "to rely on the plan."
"hey!" Dugu Qianshan answered
Soon Sui Jun pushed the catapult out, and Tang Jun’s crossbowman stopped outside the range. Then he was nervously busy behind the catapult. Pei Hangyan and Luo Shixin each took cavalry and infantry to prevent Tang Jun from rushing to destroy the catapult.
In the two wings of Sui Jun, several experts were prepared with light cavalry.
Li Xiuning observed half a ring and never found Sui Jun flaw.
Li Shentong looked for a moment and said, "Sui Jun’s slings are powerful and have a long range. Sui Jun must not be allowed to eject." A few days ago, Sui Jun’s attack was short, and the horses and antlers outside the camp were destroyed.
Li Yuan hesitated for a moment and said, "It is better to go out and kill a frustrated Sui army while Sui Jun is unstable."
Li Xiuning shook his head and whip a finger. "Look at Sui Jun’s two wings, with three thousand cavalry eyeing up, and after the catapult, there are also thousands of cavalry who have almost no chance to rush to the array."
"alas!" Li Shentong sighed that he suffered a lot from Yang You’s hand, and he was afraid of Li Yuan’s suggestion, but he didn’t dare to say much, for fear that others would look down on him.
Li Xiuning pondered for a moment and suddenly figured it out: "Make the three armies strictly observe that if the Sui army comes to commit crimes, they can shoot arrows. If they fail to do so, they will be killed!" The longer it takes, the better it will be for Datang, and the greater the chance of dragging Sui Jun’s main force to bully Li Shimin, the king of Qin.
Li Shentong and Li Yuan have different expressions. They are ordered to Yang Mei. Li Xiuning’s face is uncertain behind her. She is also not sure what the princess thinks.
Without resistance, Sui Jun quickly attacked the Tang Jun camp, but Li Xiuning soon found that Sui Jun bombarded it not with boulders or ice, but with bound paper, which was scattered without being bound and hit the ground. The whole Tang Jun camp suddenly had a spectacular paper fluttering.
Several soldiers curiously picked it up, and the literate soldiers whispered and soon their faces changed.
Li Shentong found it wrong, and immediately jumped to the sentry post and picked up a piece of paper. Looking at it, he couldn’t help but change his face. He quickly asked Qinbing to forbid soldiers to take paper privately and let his confidant collect paper. Li Shentong told Li Xiuning that Li Xiuning couldn’t help biting his red lip. "It’s disgusting for Yang You children to make such tricks after these years."
Having said that, Li Xiuning can agree with Li Shentong’s practice.
Sui Jun Yang Gang ordered to continue throwing paper, which made Tang Jun foot soldiers more curious but strictly ordered.
It was not until dusk that Yang You led his troops back to the camp. At the same time, two armies, Qu Tutong and Yaojunsu, carried out the same plan to attack and divide the morale of Tang Jun. It was not surprising that Pei Ji knew it, but Wu Shihuo didn’t know that Tang gaozu was dead.
At that time, the generals of Xianyang, the ancient city of Chang ‘an and Ba Tang Jun tried their best to appease the soldiers. They put away the paper bags thrown by Sui Jun and burned them. It is forbidden to talk about them in the army, but the soldiers of Tang Jun, who have a long mouth, secretly whispered whether Sui Jun said it was true or not. Did you really die? Is there really a shortage of food in Chang ‘an? If so, what should Datang do?
Killing chickens and slaughtering sheep in Sui Jun Daying is a jubilant atmosphere. It is also winter in Yang You. Naturally, soldiers can eat half a catty of meat for every meal, but a small amount is given.
"Judging from today’s situation, Tang gaozu is likely to die of illness. Li Xiuning is not playing to delay Li Shimin’s fight for opportunities." The main account of Yang You is Yang Dong, Du Ruhui, Pei Hangyan, Luo Shixin, Gao Zansheng and others.
"According to intelligence, Li Shimin sneaked back from the north to the south of Li Shimin a few days ago, and instead of taking fenglingdu, he crossed Snowflake Mountain." Yang You added.
Pei Hangyan is a Wenxi person who is familiar with the topography of Hedong. He can’t help but ask, "Snow Mountain is the south barrier of Hedong, which is hundreds of feet high. Now the heavy snow has not melted. It is not wise to climb Snow Mountain in Li Shimin at this time, and the south of Snow Mountain is a turbulent river and it is not easy to cross the river."
Yang You pointed to Xuehuashan Road. "Yuan Qing, think again?"
Peihang Yanyan thought about it and immediately nodded, "I understand my position."
"According to the itinerary, Li Shimin climbed the Snowflake Mountain in the 4th and 5th, and I wanted it to be a surprise for him." Yang You gently knocked on a sand table and continued, "On the day of the King of Yue, you pretended to be me and continued to attack the Tang Jun camp. If Li Xiuning attacked, he would have to be severely beaten."
Yang Dong, the king of Yue, said in a daze, "What do you want?"
"I want to give Li Shimin a surprise." Yang You gave Pei Hangyan and Luo Shixin a light look again. "Pei Aiqing and Luo Aiqing, you two ordered five thousand cavalry and one person rushed to Yongfengcang with me early in the morning."
Pei Hangyan and Luo Shixin both handed in their hands and said, "It’s not as cold as it is now, so wait for the good news from me in the camp."
"No, I have things to do in Li Shimin." Yang You gave a refusal.
Then he ordered a half-assed strategic deployment, and Yang Dong, the king of Du Ruhui, was also very mature. Yang You was not very worried that food and wine would be delivered in a moment, and everyone would have a full meal and go back to camp to have a rest.
Xuehua Mountain is located in the south of Puban, close to the big river Xuehua Shandong, which is the continuous Zhongtiao Mountain. fenglingdu and Li Shimin will cross the snow mountain because once they cross the snow mountain, they can step into the big river and directly attack Huayin County and Yongfengcang to achieve unexpected results.
Snow Mountain is tall and dangerous. Although it has been snowing for a month, it is very inconvenient to walk without knees. Li Shimin paid a huge price for crossing Snow Mountain with his confidant soldiers.
In order to avoid being discovered by Sui Jun spies, most of the time, Li Shimin stayed up in the daytime and went out at night, so as not to arouse others’ suspicion. Most of the time, Tang Jun soldiers ate cold Hu cakes, steamed buns and other things to satisfy their hunger. The soldiers were still shivering in the cold, even though they were wearing thick clothes.
You can’t make a fire, you can’t eat warm food, and even drinking water is cold. This is a great test for Tang Jun soldiers. At this time, Li Shimin took the lead in drinking cold water and eating cold Hu cakes. Seeing this scene, soldiers can also bear it silently. After all, the king of Qin can do this, and they have no reason to refuse.
At this time, Li Shimin didn’t know that Li Yuan had died. Li Shimin had abandoned all his dissatisfaction with Li Jiancheng and his father. He was moved by Chai Shao or Li Xiuning’s idea. This was Li Tang’s last chance and his last chance in Li Shimin.
Only by seizing the opportunity that Yongfengcang and Tongshui troops have little strength can we change the situation in one fell swoop. He must be cautious, so he will choose this most difficult and unexpected path.
As night falls, the temperature is getting lower and lower, and Li Shimin carefully makes people start a bonfire. The soldiers cheer for joy because this is their happiest time. Cook a pot of hot rice porridge, have a good meal, and then boil hot water to soak their feet. This is the most beautiful enjoyment in the weather.
Looking at the happy foot soldier Li Shimin’s lean face revealed a smile. These soldiers can accompany him to climb the Snowflake Mountain in such a harsh environment, which proves their loyalty. Li Shimin secretly vowed from the bottom of his heart that after the victory of World War I, he would give the soldiers generous rewards. If the situation can be finally turned around, whether these soldiers are alive or not, he or their relatives will get hundreds of acres of hereditary titles of fertile land.
"Qin Wang has a bowl of rice porridge!" Just when Li Shimin thought about it, QinBing brought the hot rice porridge, and a faint scent immediately occupied the tip of Li Shimin’s nose, making him hungry, and his stomach was stirring. Li Shimin took the rough pottery bowl and wheezed to drink the rice porridge.
A bowl of rice porridge belly Li Shimin felt his body warm up, and Li Shimin ate two bowls of rice porridge with Hu cake, which only wiped his mouth and ordered, "Go to an early rest day and continue to set off early in the morning."
Qinbing replied.
Li Shimin watched the waning moon in a complicated mood. After three days of hard work, Snowflake Mountain has climbed over half, and he will be able to walk out of Snowflake Mountain in three days. He is going to take a short break to let his foot soldiers recover their strength and then kill Yongfengcang to get food from Yongfengcang first, so that he will not fall into the embarrassing situation of lack of food.
Chapter 11 A Dream of Nanke
After three days of hard work, Li Shimin finally came to the top of the southern foot of Snowflake Mountain. Looking at the south, Li Shimin couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. The white river ahead reflected the sun’s rays.
"It’s finally here!" How bitter are the Tang soldiers cheering and jumping all the way? Thirteen soldiers were frozen to death alive, and Tang soldiers buried them in tears and moved on.
Li Shimin looked at the foot of the mountain, and no one froze to death at this time. No one would come to this bird does not shit. Several soldiers in Snowflake Mountain carefully knocked on the ice to make sure that the ice had frozen and then waved their arms.
Li Shimin, Tang Junshan, stared deeply at Yongfengcang in the south. It was faintly visible that Yongfengcang built a highland, but for the convenience of transportation, it was seven miles away from the big river.
Li Shimin looked at a face of excitement on the ice. Soldiers in Tang Jun encouraged soldiers Yongfengcang to take it by surprise. At this time, Tang Jun’s food is not much. Li Shimin sent troops to investigate while taking a rest.
There is little food left. It is necessary to ensure physical strength. It is imperative for Li Shimin to let the soldiers have a full meal and cross the rubicon to seize Yongfengcang.
Soon disguised as a mountain hunting scout, he came back and said that there seemed to be not many defenders in Yongfengcang. Initially, it was estimated that there were more than 500 people, and there was hardly any patrol soldier Li Shimin in the sprawling city wall, which was good news for him.
Although the terrain of Yongfengcang is more dangerous, the city is not high. To break through the first line of defense, the remaining lines of defense can be said to be vulnerable. The key is that Sui Jun’s defense forces are insufficient. Is there any defense to greatly increase the chance of Li Shimin’s sneak attack
Although it is extremely cold in winter, it is mostly sunny in the daytime. Almost every day, the sun shines with excellent sight. It is not cost-effective to attack the city by day. Li Shimin will set aside Tang Jun at dusk to repair the dense forest 2.
Two hours later, it was getting dark. I came to Li Shimin to wake up several captains. Tang Jun was ready to attack the city at dusk. There were advantages and disadvantages. It was dark and difficult for Sui Jun to find out. However, the city gate was bound to close. You must have siege equipment to attack the city.
Li Shimin was ready. He asked the Ministry to prepare the rope surface with an iron hook to climb the wall. Two miles outside Yongfengcang, Li Shimin looked at Yongfengcang’s flames and unknowingly sneered. At this time, it was time to eat. Yongfengcang’s aroma was overflowing and even killed the smell of sheep, so that Tang Jun’s foot soldiers could not help but swallow.
For more than ten days, eating cold Hu cake and drinking hot soup mixed with wild vegetables has been extremely luxurious, not to mention eating mutton.
Li Shimin said in a low voice, "Brothers attack Yongfengcang and have enough to eat!" It’s true that Li Shimin said that there was a shortage of food, and all the soldiers in Tang Jun knew that they had to do their best to survive this war.
The darker the black, the more Li Shimin personally took the confidant. Before Yongfengcang, he really didn’t guard against Li Shimin’s smooth arrival outside the city. He looked up and listened attentively for half a ring to make sure that ChengTouren Li Shimin nodded and motioned for an offensive.
Tang Jun soldiers took out the rope and danced half-loudly. Suddenly, they threw a light hook at the female wall and pulled the hook. The hook was very strong and several soldiers glanced at each other and climbed to the top.
The city wall was built on a mountain, about three feet high. Li Shimin climbed two feet and just climbed two feet. Suddenly, the drums sounded and several torches were lit, which made Tang Jun soldiers unable to open their eyes.
Li Shimin was stunned. He couldn’t think that Yongfengcang seemed unprepared. Actually, he was ready to wait for him. A familiar face in the torch appeared in front of Li Shimin, which made his eyes wide open. "Yang You!"
Dressed in cotton-padded clothes, Yang You Chengtou looked at Li Shimin and Li Shimin with a smile. Indeed, he came to Yang You. He rushed all the way to Yongfengcang last night. He asked Pei Hangyan and Luo Shixin to station his troops three miles east of Yongfengcang. He knew that Li Shimin would not detect this distance.
Otherwise, the scouts in Sui Jun found out the news of Tang Jun’s attack at ten o’clock in the afternoon, and Yang You was not anxious. The fish had hooked him to give Li Shimin a surprise. He did not send troops to attack Tang Jun and Li Shimin, and he chose to attack Yongfengcang at dusk. Yang You expected that Yongfengcang had opened the net and waited for Li Shimin, a big hook.
Seeing that Sui Jun was ready, Li Shimin reacted very quickly. Since Yang You appeared here, this trip was suspected to have fallen into the trap of Yang You. Li Shimin was puzzled by such a secret action. Did Sui Jun know? But he didn’t think much about it. Sui Jun had shot an arrow feather, and several Tang Jun soldiers couldn’t avoid it. The arrow fell to the wall and made a heavy noise.
Li Shimin almost crushed his teeth. He suddenly pulled out a horizontal knife from his back and threw it at Yang You, regardless of whether he hit it or not, and immediately slipped the wall hand and foot.
"Withdraw quickly!" Li Shimin shouted, at this time, his heart was shocked and he had lost his courage. There was an idea in his heart that he would immediately flee back to Hedong and try again.
"shoot!" Where will Yang You let Li Shimin escape? This line is to catch him. As Yang You ordered the arrow feather to be like a locust, Li Shimin was shot in the thigh with an arrow. Fortunately, he wore more arrowheads, which just punctured the skin. Li Shimin struggled to pull out the arrow feather and continued to run.
Li Shimin was lucky to have no arrows, but there were many casualties among the soldiers around him. He struggled to run more than 100 steps and gradually escaped from the range of Sui Jun. Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the horse was not far away and immediately turned over and fled. Most of the soldiers behind him could not move their legs and follow.
Yang You saw Li Shimin escape and immediately let people light torches to signal that Luo Shixin and Pei Hangyan were ambushing Yongfeng Cangbei. When they got the signal, they immediately rushed out of Tang Jun, and the terrain became more and more flat in two or three miles, and the Woods were less than 5,000 Tang Juncheng’s chopping block.
Tang Jun soldiers didn’t want to resist this elite soldier once, but Sui Jun threw a spear and killed dozens of Tang soldiers like a string of candied haws. The morale of the soldiers who came to Tang Jun all the way has been greatly reduced. The failure to attack Yongfengcang has even reduced the morale to a low point. The first time the Sui army rode out, the spear was broken, and dozens of paoze died on the spot, which caused the Tang Jun soldiers to collapse immediately.
Li Shimin’s escape made the soldiers even more frightened. At the most critical moment, a handsome army actually fled. There was no resistance in the department. The hooves of the vast river rang loudly and the sound penetrated the sky.
