Chapter 8 Ten fierce under the world [screaming for the moon
"Your Highness, don't leave the city at will!" Guo Shiheng hurriedly stopped him.
"You timid mouse, even the Tang army patrols!"
Wang Jundu scolded him fiercely, turned around and ran towards the city, gathered the army, and he turned over and shouted, "Open the city!"
The city gate opened, and Wang Jundu led two thousand troops to run out of the city. Guo Shiheng shouted so hard that he had to watch him rush out of the city. He followed Wang Shichong to fight south and north, and had rich combat experience. Intuition told that the two hundred patrol troops were very likely to be cheating, but he didn't know where the problem was. No main force of the enemy was seen around.
Guo Shiheng looked at the two hundred Tang army patrols again. This time he deliberately paid attention to the person wearing the golden helmet. On the battlefield, the golden helmet was usually the head coach or the king or above. Could it be that this is really a member of the Tang Dynasty? Guo Shiheng saw that the person with golden helmet had turned over and held a pair of thunder hammers in his hand, as big as a bat, weighing at least 200 kilograms. The pair of hammers made him breathe a breath of air conditioning. Who is this?
A general next to him exclaimed: "Could this person be the world's number one fierce general Li Xuanba?"
Guo Shiheng was also stunned. If this person was really the case, Wang Jundu would be in danger, but at this time Wang Jundu had already rushed out of the city and was too late to shout. Guo Shiheng stomped his feet in hatred and turned around and shouted: "The army was out of the city!"
If King Yue had a few good and bad things, he would have no choice but to explain it. He only left five hundred people to defend the city and personally led 1,500 troops out of the city to meet Wang Jundu.
Outside the city, King Zhao Li Xuanba held two hammers in his hand, with a proud look on his face. He did not take the two thousand people who rushed up to him. To him, these two thousand people were two thousand ants.
Li Xuanba's war horse is also particularly majestic, with strong limbs, one head taller than ordinary war horses, and black all over. It is called the "Black Wind Horse". It is a Dayuan BMW from a faraway West. Li Shimin bought it for hundreds of gold from a Sogdian merchant. Only this horse can withstand Li Xuanba's weight and his sledgehammer.
Li Xuanba looked at the enemy general rushing towards him with cold eyes. Although he was born with mental retardation, when he went to the battlefield, he could use his unique martial artist talent, just like a precise scanning instrument, and he could understand the combat power of the enemy general Wang Jundu.
He used a long iron halberd, weighing about 70 kilograms, and was over six feet tall. From his posture of holding the long halberd, it was obvious that he had not put in enough effort. The halberd technique was not pure, but he had a few kilograms of stupid strength, so he could not be called a powerful general. He could only be considered a good general, but like him, the other party actually wore a golden helmet on his head. It was estimated that his status was not low.
Li Xuanba snorted contempt and shouted, "Give me your life!" With a wave of the two hammers, he urged the horse to move forward. His two hundred personal soldiers were all skilled in martial arts, and they could fight ten. They followed and shouted and rushed forward with weapons. Although there were only two hundred cavalrymen, they were murderous and magnificent, just like thousands of horses and thousands of troops.
At this time, Yuchi Gong had heard the news of the war in the city going to fight. He was overjoyed and immediately led his army to cover up and came.
Li Xuanba's horse speed was extremely fast, and instantly rushed to Wang Jundu and shouted loudly. He hit him with a hammer head-on. "Woo-" A sound of wind came. When Wang Jundu saw the sledgehammer coming fiercely, he also roared wildly, and raised his iron halberd to meet him. The harsh sound of "Dang!", the iron halberd flew away. Wang Jundu was shocked and dislocated his arms and shouted, "No!"
Turning his horse's head and running away, Li Xuanba's second hammer hits like a shadow, and it hits the back of Wang Jundu's head. Wang Jundu's head explodes immediately, and is smashed to pieces, and the dead body is dropped.
Li Xuanba laughed wildly at the sky like a thunderbolt, waved his hammer and rushed into the enemy group. A pair of hammers flew up and down, died when they were next to each other, and died when they were touched. He killed a group of soldiers with broken bones and broken bones and dead bodies everywhere. His 200 personal soldiers were like wolves and tigers, following Li Xuanba to kill among the enemy group, and were invincible. Wang Shichong's army was killed and wailed and fled in all directions.
At this time, Guo Shiheng led reinforcements to kill him, but a soldier pointed at the back and shouted: "General, the Tang army is coming from behind!"
When Guo Shiheng turned around, he saw thousands of Tang cavalry horses galloping. Seeing that they were about to reach the city gate, Guo Shiheng was shocked and it was too late to run back. "This idiot!" He was so angry that he shouted loudly. Wang Jundu's stupidity killed the entire army. At this time, a general fled back with hundreds of defeated troops, and reported terrified: "General Guo, King Yue has been killed by the enemy general! What should we do?"
Guo Shiheng knew that the situation was hopeless, so he turned his horse's head and fled northeast. More than a thousand defeated soldiers followed him and fled desperately, gradually, escaped from the battlefield.
When the five hundred defenders of Sanyuan City saw that King Yue was dead, the deputy general fled. They had no way out and had to open the city to surrender. Yuchi Gong led his army into Sanyuan City.
.........
Two days later, Li Shimin led 80,000 main forces of the Tang army to Sanyuan City, and Changsun Wuji left two thousand soldiers to guard the pass after capturing Hangu Pass. He led 8,000 soldiers to come east and converged with the main forces of the Tang army in Sanyuan City.
Under the escort of hundreds of soldiers, Li Shimin rode his horse to patrol the sub-city of Luoyang on the periphery. It was completely a military city with no houses inside. The circumference of the city was about twelve miles. It belonged to a small county in terms of scale, but because it was a military fortress, the city walls were built particularly tall and sturdy, which made Li Shimin very satisfied.
Yuchi Gong smiled beside him and said, "Does Your Highness plan to treat it as a city of food and supplies?"
Li Shimin nodded, "This military city is very close to Luoyang and is a fortress-style castle, which is very suitable for logistics. I decided to set up the logistics center here!"
After pausing, Li Shimin said to Yuchi Gong in a slightly blamed tone: "Although this siege strategy is good, it is a bit risky, especially with King Zhao to take risks. Once there is any mistake, it will be difficult for me to explain to my father that General Yuchi should not be so careless again next time."
Li Shimin had already heard Yuchi Gong's report. Although Yuchi Gong did not say it clearly, Li Shimin could hear that Yuchi Gong used Li Xuanba's special identity to lure the enemy general out of the city. Not to mention that this strategy was a bit lucky, but using his third brother Li Xuanba as bait made Li Shimin more or less dissatisfied.
A cold sweat broke out on Yuchi Gong's forehead and he quickly bowed and said, "It's because Bei Zhi is careless. King Zhao has been asking Bei Zhi to give him a chance. I think it's about to arrive in Luoyang. If he doesn't give him this opportunity, it's Hu Zhi's breach of trust. So... I remember Bei Zhi and will never make the same mistake again."
"Just remember it. He is a little stupid and difficult to recognize the enemy's plan, so he cannot let him fight alone in the future."
Li Shimin patted Yuchi Gong on the shoulder, no longer blamed him, and urged him to come to Li Xuanba immediately. Li Shimin smiled and said, "Third brother, is this battle satisfying today?"
"Not at all!"
Li Xuanba looked unhappy, "That king is so easy to be ordinary, not as good as Shi Danai, second brother, when will he find me an opponent? Changsun promised me last time in Yanmen County, saying that he would arrange for me to fight with Yang Yuanqing, but he actually coaxed me. I will remember it for him!"
Only then did Li Shimin realize that his third brother was a little ignorant of Changsun Wuji. It turned out that he was resentful of the affairs of Yanmen County more than two years ago. He couldn't help but laugh and comfort Li Xuan's domineering words: "Brother Wuji is not coaxing you, it's because Yang Yuanqing's identity is extraordinary. He is now the King of Chu of the Sui Dynasty, the king of a country, just like his father. When will the father go to compete with others in person?"
After a while, Li Xuanba said in a muffled voice: "If Yang Yuanqing can't compete with me, then what about Luo Shixin! I heard from my brother-in-law that Luo Shixin is the first five tiger general of the Sui Dynasty, he can do it!"
"Don't worry! If we encounter Luo Shixin, I will arrange for you to fight."
Li Xuanba was overjoyed, "Second brother, don't coax me like the eldest grandson!"
Li Shimin smiled and said, "When did the second brother coax you?"
......
In the Luoyang Palace, Guo Shiheng knelt in front of the jade steps and told Wang Shichong what happened at that time. "I have a feeling that two hundred cavalrymen came to investigate blatantly. There must be a problem, but the King of Yue refused to listen to my advice and insisted on leading troops out of the city to fight. As a result, he was hit by the Tang Dynasty's No. 1 general Li Xuanba, who was hit by a hammer. Bei Zhi led his army out of the city to rescue him, but was ambushed by the Tang army, and his retreat was cut off. He had no choice but to abandon the city and flee back. Bei Zhi was willing to accept punishment from His Majesty!"
Wang Shichong stood on the jade steps with his hands on his back, with his back facing Guo Shiheng, his eyes flashed with fierce light. He was frustrated in the first battle, which would affect his morale. He wished he could kill Guo Shiheng with one knife, but he had the face to escape back.
But in the end he had no choice but to do anything. He also knew in his heart that Guo Shiheng could not blame Guo Shiheng for this matter. Knowing that King Yue was stupid, he still gave him military power. This was his issue of Wang Shichong's employment. If Guo Shiheng was punished, it would arouse dissatisfaction among the generals. Wang Shichong could only hold this anger in his heart.
After a while, Wang Shichong sighed and said, "General Guo, King Yue has always been a simple-minded person. His plan to arouse generals by the Tang army was also expected. Get up! I don't blame you for this."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Guo Shiheng was grateful, stood up and gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, the revenge of King Yue being brutally killed, Hu Yi will definitely avenge him, and Hu Yi will definitely kill Li Xuanba."
"General Guo, since Li Xuanba is known as the world's number one general, he must have real skills. If he dies at his hands, the King of Yue will not be wronged. I am just a little curious. Can Li Xuanba's martial arts really suppress Yuwen Chengdu?"
"Your Majesty, it's really amazing. He knocked the King of Yue's iron halberd away with one hammer. It's unheard of that. Yuwen Chengdu is not as good as him, and Yang Yuanqing is not his opponent."
Wang Renze stood out next to him and said, "Your Majesty, I think it's a bit too much. Li Xuanba's martial arts may be really great. He is the 240-pound sledge hammer and Yuwen Chengdu are at most. But if he surpasses Yang Yuanqing, I think it's unrealistic. Yang Yuanqing's archery skills are unparalleled in the world. Even Yuwen Chengdu once said that if he faces Yang Yuanqing, he will die under Yang Yuanqing's arrow. Can Li Xuanba avoid Yang Yuanqing's iron arrow?"
Several generals were whispering, but Wang Shichong said lightly: "This is just the boring ranking of the Tang people. Li Xuanba is just a slightly brave swallow bird. How can he be better than a red eagle like Yang Yuanqing? He ranks Yang Yuanqing in third place. I'm afraid even his son Li Yuan doesn't have such a thick face."
