Chapter two hundred and sixteen

Under Huoyi City, the two armies confronted each other.

Li Yuan stared at Huo Yi. At this moment, Huo Yi City was already densely packed with heavy troops, and the Sui army stood on the city walls.

Huoyi was originally a small city, but since Li Yuan rebelled, Huoyi received an order to start building a large-scale city wall, and now it has the power of a mighty city.

"Father! Huoyi City is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is heavily guarded. Qu Tutong is also a famous general who is good at defending the city. If we forcefully attack, we may suffer heavy losses!" A general in his twenties behind Li Yuan said.

This person is Li Shimin, the son of Li Yuan. Another general of the same age next to Li Jiancheng is Li Jiancheng. However, the two of them should not have a falling out at this moment. They are also a mother and have a good relationship.

"Yes! Father, since Qu Tutong has adopted a defensive posture, why don't we take the opportunity to train troops in Taiyuan and attack Guanzhong after the army is trained." Li Jiancheng was also puzzled.

Li Yuan shook his head and said, "Time is not waiting! Although Taiyuan is a major city, it is located in a remote place and is not a king at all. Only by defeating Guanzhong can we have a glimmer of life. My father also wants to wait, but Taiyuan and Daxing City are too different. The King of Dai Yang You already has a picture of Zhongxing. The more we wait, the less hope of victory will be. Now, taking advantage of the momentum of one go, the vitality of my Li family is to capture Guanzhong."

"Yang You, the King of Dai!" The three Li family members mentioned this name and felt very stressed.

Now Daxing City is world-famous, with a strong and powerful family, and has a huge amount of wealth. It has recruited 100,000 new recruits, with strong troops and strong horses. Yinshi Division and Qu Tu gather together, so it should not be underestimated.

"Xiu Ning is injured in the hands of the soldiers in Guanzhong." Li Shimin's eyes were cold, and the relationship between the Li brother and sister was very good. When Li Xiuning returned to Taiyuan with injuries, the miserable current situation made everyone in the Li family cry. Now Li Xiuning is still recovering from her injuries in Taiyuan.

"Okay, let's talk about Xiuning's affairs in the future. Now I still imagine how to break Huoyi!" Li Yuan shouted. He was very annoyed that Li Xiuning refused to obey the orders and insisted on staying in Guanzhong. He was now in anger.

"Yes, father!" Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng said silently.

Looking at Huo Yicheng, Li Yuan and Li Shimin walked around for a few times, and their scalp was numb. Qu Tutong was worthy of being a famous general. Huo Yi defended like a hedgehog, and it would be difficult to capture Huo Yi.

"Qu Tutong is the highest military general in Daxing City. Now Yang You took advantage of Qu Tutong's leadership of his troops and suddenly seized power. Qu Tutong must be very resentful in his heart. Why don't we surrender Qu Tutong!" Li Jiancheng said suddenly.

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "We only have 30,000 troops, but Qu Tutong has 50,000 troops. In terms of strength, Qu Tutong has the advantage, so he cannot surrender to us."

Li Yuan's eyes lit up: "Even if it cannot succeed, it can shake the morale of the Daxing Army, and in the future, it can inspire Qu Tutong to fight, otherwise the generals of Daxing City will think that he has a second heart."

Inside Huoyi City.

Qu Tutong held Li Yuan's letter of persuasion and shouted angrily: "Li Yuan's traitor actually bullies me like this. I, Qu Tutong, have been so kind to Sui's kind, how can I be as ungrateful as you!"

"General wise!" the generals shouted.

Qu Tutong's mouth twitched slightly. You, Li Yuan, had such a little force, and you really dared to speak loudly and let me surrender to you.

Furthermore, the Sui Dynasty also stipulated that as long as the general was out on the expedition, the whole family must be kept as hostages. Qu Tutong's family is now in Daxing City, so Qu Tutong will never surrender to Li Yuan.

Even if Qu Tutong is willing to surrender, other soldiers are unwilling to surrender. Daxing City has such generous military salary and treatment, what do you have to do with your mouth?

"General. Why not let us attack heavily and directly capture Li Yuan's rebel thieves and return to Daxing City, and be sent to His Highness Dai." A general asked for battle.

"No, Your Highness Dai Wang has an order. You must defend for one month and wait for all the food in Xingluo Cang to be transported back." Qu Tutong shook his head.

Qu Tutong had Yang You's orders in hand and had the advantage of the city, so he didn't need to fight against Li Yuan at all.

"Come on, cut off Li Yuan's envoy and send him back!" Qu Tutong shouted, and he expressed his attitude of fighting to the death with practical actions.

"Yes!" the soldier shouted.

Qu Tutong tore the letter of surrender in his hand apart, walked out of the door, and looked up at the gloomy sky.

In the sky, bursts of lightning flashed by, and clouds were covered with clouds.

"It's going to rain!" Qu Tutong murmured at the sky.

"Crack and crackle." Heavy rain was pouring.

The power of nature is huge. God cannot bear to see the tragedy on earth happening, and he gets furious, preventing a tragedy on earth from happening.

Li Yuan led his army slowly backed in the rain. Since the Jiahu Fort had been occupied by Sang Xianhe, Li Yuan could only station the army in a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, set up camp and wait for the opportunity.

……………………

Hejian,

In a nameless small town, Dou Jiande gathered tens of thousands of troops.

"The old thief Xue Shixiong is really too bullying. He can't rescue Luoyang well, so he insists on attacking us!" A strong man with dark skin and tall armor said furiously.

He is Liu Hei-shi, a general under Dou Jiande.

When Yang Guang summoned Xue Shixiong to rescue Luoyang, he issued an order that all the thieves along the way could be destroyed. Xue Shixiong targeted Dou Jiande, the largest thief in Hebei. After several major battles, Dou Jiande was defeated.

Dou Jiande and other generals also looked sad and defeated. The gap was too big. Although they were so happy before, they would immediately be defeated when they met the real elite of the Sui Dynasty.

Now the generals under Dou Jiande have no fighting spirit against Xue Shixiong and have no power to fight at all.

Dou Jiande looked around and sighed helplessly, and felt a ruthless move in his heart.

"Everyone, the Sui army is now in great power, and we are no match for each other. Now there are only two ways to survive in front of us." Dou Jiande gritted his teeth.

The generals couldn't help but look at Dou Jiande.

"Either we surrender to Xue Shixiong, or we will fight to the death with him." Dou Jiande said in pain.

The generals couldn't help but remained silent and their eyes dodged.

Let's fight to the death! They are not strong enough, and they are unwilling to surrender to Xue Shixiong. Moreover, the court has had a precedent for killing surrendered soldiers. The generals were in a dilemma again.

"Otherwise! I will attack overnight tonight. If I arrive at Xue Shixiong's camp before dawn, then I will attack at night. If I arrive after dawn, I will surrender to Xue Shixiong. Everything depends on the will of heaven." Dou Jiande said.

"General wise!" the generals said happily.

"Okay! Then I will lead the 280 death soldiers first. Liu Heijia, you will lead the other soldiers. Then, arrive at Xue Camp at night, and we will attack them. If it is clear when we arrive, we will surrender." Dou Jiande shouted, and at the same time, he winked slightly with Liu Heijia.

Liu Heiqi nodded understandingly. Of course, he understood what Dou Jiande meant. They had discussed it in advance. Once they were about to arrive at Xue Shixiong's camp before dawn.

at night.

Dou Jiande walked forward overnight and personally led 280 soldiers of the suicide squad to touch Xue Shixiong's camp.

At this moment, Xue Shixiong's camp was pitch black, and it was obvious that the soldiers were sleeping soundly. It was a good time for sneak attacks.

Everything is ready, just wait for the Liu Hei family to come.

Time passed by little by little, but Liu Heishi still did not appear.

"General, it's almost dawn!" a dead soldier said anxiously.

Waiting left and right, the sky gradually became brighter and the fish belly turned white in the east.

At this time, the Liu Heijia finally led the army to arrive late and finally arrived, but Dou Jiande's heart slowly calmed down.

Is it really necessary to surrender according to the previous agreement? Dou Jiande was very unwilling to accept it. He went from a deserter to now dominating the side, killing all the young and old in his family by the government army. How could he be willing to surrender?

"General!" Liu Heiqi stood in front of Dou Jiande with guilt on his face.

He overestimated his influence. Without Dou Jiande in charge, almost all the generals would not be able to do anything. If it weren't for his Liu Heijia's orders to threaten Dou Jiande, they would probably be halfway.

Even so, it was still too late to meet with Dou Jiande. It was already dawn.

Dou Jiande's face was gloomy like ice, and a deep sadness surged into his heart, and he actually messed up.

"General!" The other generals stepped forward and looked at Dou Jiande hopefully.

Dou Jiande stood up sadly, looked at Xue Shixiong's camp, and suddenly found a vast white area.

"It's foggy?" Dou Jiande was stunned.

A ray of inspiration emerged, and Dou Jiande jumped up and said ecstaticly: "It's foggy!"

"It's foggy?" The generals were confused.

At this moment, the fog is getting heavier and the visibility is only about ten feet.

"God really helped me!" Dou Jiande was overjoyed.

"This is a great time to attack the camp!" Liu Heijia also reacted and said happily.

The other generals also felt aroused in their hearts and couldn't help but look at Dou Jiande. Could it be that God is so willing? They are used to being the King of Grass Heads. Of course, they are unwilling to surrender to the court again.

This great opportunity is of course not to be missed. At worst, there is still a certainty that you can't beat and escape.

"Send the order and the whole army will attack!" Dou Jiande shouted with great enthusiasm.

Dou Jiande's army secretly touched Xue Shixiong's camp in the heavy fog.

"Kill!" Dou Jiande shouted.

Countless Dou soldiers suddenly emerged from the thick fog, like a divine weapon falling from the sky.

At this moment, many Sui soldiers were still sleeping and were suddenly attacked and immediately exploded the camp.

"What's going on?" Xue Shixiong, with white hair, came out of the camp and shouted.

"Report to General! Heavy fog fell from the sky, Dou Jiande suddenly attacked the camp, and our army was disrupted." The deputy general hurriedly reported.

"Tell the troops to kill me!" Xue Shixiong shouted.

"Yes!" The deputy general took the order and left.

After a while, the deputy general came back covered in blood.

"General! The army is in chaos, and the soldiers have fled. Our army is defeated!" The deputy general lowered his head and said guiltily.

"Impossible!" Xue Shixiong's mind was shaking and shaking.

"General, let's retreat!" said the deputy general.

"Can't retreat! Go back and kill!" Xue Shixiong pointed at a wave of defeated soldiers and shouted.

If Xue Shixiong's words were usually effective, but there was heavy fog coming from the sky, and the soldiers could not tell who was who, and they just kept running for life.

Seeing that the situation was so corrupt, the deputy general immediately summoned Xue Shixiong's fifty personal soldiers and rode his horse to run towards Zhuojun.

In this battle, Xue Shixiong's army was wiped out and Dou Jiande won a great victory.

Xue Shixiong, the general of the left imperial guard, stayed in Zhuo County, also played a mess, but Xue Shixiong's cost was very high. The 30,000 army was wiped out. Soon, Xue Shixiong, who returned to Zhuo County, died in depression.

The news came out and the world was shaking.
