Chapter 657 Battle of Taiyuan

Zhang Shigui, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. He is a big villain who makes people grit his teeth in modern society. In fact, the real Zhang Shigui is not the case at all. Just like Pan Mei, he was also unrecognizable by modern film and television dramas. The real

Zhang Shigui is not only proficient in military tactics, but also has excellent martial arts. Historical books say that he is good at riding and shooting, with extraordinary arm strength, bent his bow and 150 kilograms, and shooting without empty hair on the left and right. He can be said to be a military achievement in the establishment of the Tang Dynasty and subsequent foreign wars.

The most severe thing about Zhang Shigui was criticized was that he was jealous of the fact that he could suppress Xue Rengui and let his son-in-law take Xue Rengui's military achievements. In fact, Xue Rengui can be said to be promoted by Zhang Shigui, and the fact that he took military achievements was even more false and nonsense.

It's a long way to go, and get back to the point. After Li Daozong led his army to Tongguan, Zhang Shigui took on the responsibility of guarding Taiyuan. Zhang Shigui did not dare to slack off. He patrolled the city wall every day and sent a large number of scouts to cruise around Taiyuan to prevent sudden outbreaks

The situation happened. In the evening of that day, Zhang Shigui received a letter from the emperor to fly pigeons from Chang'an, reminding him that the Liao army might come to attack and asked him to be careful. Zhang Shigui did not dare to neglect it, and immediately added all the city gates on all sides.

The soldiers inspected the guards, but he no longer took off his armor and rested, but instead wrapped his armor and waited for the dawn so that he could deal with emergencies at any time.

Almost at the same time, Zhang Lang led tens of thousands of cavalry to the mountains and forests more than 20 miles west of Taiyuan and hid. They could not continue to move forward for the time being. Why? Because they noticed that the scouts of the Tang army were actually swimming in front of them.

In order to avoid the Tang army's early detection of them, they could only temporarily stop moving forward and hide in the dense forest.

Zhang Lang squatted on the grass, with a sheepskin map about the Hedong area, which is now Shanxi area, and several generals surrounded him. At this time, Yelu Qingping was reporting the situation to Zhang Lang: "Based on the rewards of the scouts sent out,

Not only in our direction, many Tang army scouts were found on all sides of Taiyuan, east, west, south, north and west! In this case, it was impossible for our army to approach Taiyuan silently and launch a raid! My suggestion is to simply attack directly!"

The generals all agreed.

Zhang Lang smiled and said, "This Zhang Shigui is really different from Zhang Shigui on TV! He is so cautious in using troops!" Everyone was puzzled and Yelu Qingping asked, "What's Zhang Shigui on TV? Where is the TV? Is there it?

Is there someone named Zhang Shigui?”

Zhang Lang laughed and waved his hand, "It's not related or not!"

At this time, Feixu came over quickly and presented a note to Zhang Lang, saying, "King, Fei Ge sent a letter from the poster." Zhang Lang took the note, opened it and looked at it, and smiled and said, "

Li Shimin is really not simple! He actually judged my intention in one go!..." Yelu Qingping asked quickly: "Did Li Shimin guess that we are coming to fight Taiyuan?" Zhang Lang nodded and looked at the one in front of him.

The map said: "Li Yuan has issued an order to ask Li Daozong and others in Tongguan to return to Taiyuan immediately, and at the same time, they ordered the main army that had arrived near Luoyang to stop in Luoyang, and at the same time, they divided some of the troops to go north to support Taiyuan."

The generals looked at each other, and Wanyan said, "In this way, we will have no chance!" The others couldn't help but nod. Zhang Lang smiled and said, "Did you have no chance? Then I won't see you!" Then he answered

The generals said, "Since the reinforcements of the Tang army were rushing to Taiyuan, then we will give Zhang Shigui and the others a surprise. The army asked them to change into the Tang army's armor and flags, and then turn to the south to go to Taiyuan from the south!" The generals heard the words

, his eyes lit up, and Yelu Qingping suddenly realized and said, "No wonder, brother asked everyone to bring Tang army's armor and flags. It turned out that they were going to do this!" Zhang Lang smiled and ordered, "Go down immediately."

, Ask everyone to prepare and take action tomorrow morning!" The generals agreed and walked quickly.

After getting up in the morning, Zhang Shigui got up and washed up and had breakfast, he left the mansion and came to the west gate tower. He looked out of the city and saw thousands of mountains and valleys, and there was no sign of the Liao army. Zhang Shigui walked on the top of the city.

He frowned slightly. He was thinking about the current situation and the possible offensive strategy of the Liao army. He thought that his army was obviously overwhelming and the Liao army soon turned the situation completely around by the Liao army. General Li Daozong and King Qi

Your Highness's army was defeated one after another, and then the Liao people rushed in. Chang'an was under the direct threat of the Liao army's troops! The rapid change of the battle was really unbelievable! Zhang Shigui couldn't help but sigh, stopped and looked out of the city

The thousands of miles of mountains and rivers murmured to himself: "Liao King Zhang Lang! How could there be such a terrible person!"

At this time, a general rushed over and clasped his fists at Zhang Shigui and said, "General, the northern scout came to report that Liao general Luo Cheng led 20,000 troops and horses to move south quickly, and he will turn back and arrive this afternoon!"

Zhang Shigui narrowed his eyes and said, "Luo Cheng? 20,000 soldiers? Is it the only one of these soldiers?" Then he said to the general: "Sent to the scout closely monitor Luo Cheng's every move!" The general held his fists and agreed,

Running on.

Zhang Shigui looked thoughtful and murmured to himself: "How could he capture my Taiyuan City with just these 20,000 soldiers? What conspiracy does the Liao King have?"

After noon, there were loud rumbling sounds outside the northern city gate. Zhang Shigui, who was standing on the city gate tower, saw about 20,000 Liao troops coming quickly. Zhang Shigui immediately ordered his troops to be on high alert.

Not long after, the Liao army arrived outside the city and formed a military formation. A general in silver armor and white robe rode out of the military formation with a long spear and rode his horse out to the city gate. He looked up and shouted: "I

Nai Liao Army General Luo Cheng! Zhang Shigui, do you dare to come out and fight to the death with me?"

Seeing that the other party actually asked him to challenge him, Zhang Shigui felt that he could not avoid it. He immediately snorted coldly and said proudly: "It is said that Luo Cheng is so brave. Today I will learn it!" Then he got off the city gate tower and stepped onto the gate.

His own war horse lifted up his big sword and rushed out of the city gate.

Until Luo Cheng strangled the war horse more than ten steps ahead, looked at Luo Cheng, and said contemptuously: "I thought Luo Cheng was a three-headed and six-armed person. It turned out to be just a stinky boy!" Luo Cheng was furious and shouted: "

How dare you speak wildly! Today I will let you know how powerful I am!" Then I urged the war horse to rush towards Zhang Shigui. Zhang Shigui's eyes lit up, shouted, and also urged the war horse to rush towards Luo Cheng. At this moment,
