Kill the tiger!

I only heard the cry of a landslide cracking the ground, and the sudden soldiers of not less than six thousand were like wild horses on the ground. Stepping on the corpse of his companion on the ground, he rushed towards the Tiger Killing Pass fiercely, shouting some unintelligible words in his mouth.

Shibi Khan sat in the Chinese army, his face was very ugly, from the beginning of the siege to now, it has been a full twenty-three days, and he still can't break through the city in front of him, the ability of the other party's generals to defend the city makes him frightened, and makes him firmly remember Su Dingfang's entire name.

The ambition at the beginning has long faded, and Shibi Khan now only feels worried about killing the tiger! Vexation! Hate! Regret!

The tenacity of the defenders greatly surprised him, although he filled a slope with soil and stone on the spot, made up for a certain height, and constantly killed and injured the living force of the defenders in the pass, but up to now, although the Tiger Killing Pass has been broken several times, but at that last point, the Turkic warriors were forced back by the Sui army.

This feeling made his heart itch, and in the days that followed, he continued to raise and widen the slope, and attacked day and night.

And his strong attack during this period of time also brought great damage, in addition to the initial losses and the 70,000 people killed by cannibalism, in the past 20 days, Shi Bi has lost about 60,000 horses under the Tiger Killing Pass, but Shi Bi found that he was not happy at all. His strategy can only be said to be half successful, because of the 60,000 people who died, half were Turks and half were Tieler, and this was also to appease the Tieler, and he wanted to make the Tielers understand that he only had opinions about certain tribes, not all Tielers. However, this result of killing 800 "enemies" and losing 1,000 himself made him extremely annoyed.

On the other hand, the successive siege failures also greatly reduced his face, making him feel very depressed and embarrassed, although he was prepared, but when it really happened, the pressure of this failure still made him unbearable, and Shibi Khan even began to waver in his own strategy, is the strategy of using the Tiger Killing Pass to weaken the Tiele people outweigh the losses?

But now he has a hard time riding a tiger, so he can only go up hard.

In the Tiger Killing City, I saw Su Dingfang's tall figure reappeared, he looked at the Turkic army swarming under the city, raised the Mo knife with a calm face, and suddenly Sui Jun's eyes focused on his Mo knife. When the Turkic cavalry came about two hundred steps outside the city, Su Dingfang's eyes flashed with a cold light, and his raised right arm swung down fiercely. I heard a thunderous roar resounding through the city: "Rolling wood"

The Sui army lifted huge logs one by one together and lowered them along the city wall.

The rolling log rolled down the slope, tumbling among the Turkic crowds, flesh and blood flying, screaming through the field, and improvised ladders were hit, and the ladders were smashed in an instant.

One after another rolling logs smashed into the crowd, terrible screams kept coming, the great fear made the morale of the Turkic army drop, and many Turkic soldiers turned around and wanted to run, but Shibi Khan had already prepared, 3,000 attached to the sword behind the formation, and nearly 100 Turkic soldiers who escaped from the big array were cut to the ground.

The Turkic army had no choice but to continue to charge forward, as the Turkic army advanced, the bow and arrow battle between the two sides broke out, the Sui army put arrows down on both sides of the battlements of the city wall, and the crossbows were shot at an elevation angle in the back, the Turkic army was dense in numbers and had an advantage, the arrows on both sides were like dense rain, weaving a black arrow net in the sky, the Turks suffered heavy casualties, and the Sui army also suffered casualties, and there were constantly screaming arrows.

The battle gradually became bloody and fierce.

Su Dingfang saw the battle in front of him very thoroughly, although there were constantly enemy siege engines on the city, and Turkic soldiers began to kill the city, but he knew that the situation was not out of control, the situation was still within his control, and the casualties of the Sui army were also very normal, and there was no war without casualties.

Moreover, these days the guards of the city are all selected from Liu Wuzhou's rebels among the young strong, they are indeed slightly worse than the regular army, but war is often the best place to temper a strong army, after the first few days of panic and fear, the bloody nature has gradually come out, everyone towards the strong soldier metamorphosis, one by one bloody have been beaten, but whenever the Turks climbed up, several soldiers immediately spontaneously formed a team, ferociously pounced, with a long cavalry spear to stab the other party directly to death, the battlefield is the best training camp, Deeper and bloodier than any training.

When all the Turkic troops in this wave of offensive died under the city, Shibi had no choice but to order the troops to retreat.

At this time, the tall and burly Shibi Khan was really difficult to ride a tiger.

What he didn't calculate after all calculations was that the blow he thought he was going to kill didn't work.

Siege and kill Tiger Pass for the near month.

He felt that this time, it was more difficult to fight than when the soldiers surrounded Yanmen, as long as the terrain here was not conducive to the development of the army, he could only engage in refueling tactics, so that a strong force went to die, although a long flat slope was filled, but in the end it was actually completed by the Sui army, they only needed to put the giant tree under the city, and they could run hundreds of lives.

When the Chinese New Year's Eve 30,000 rode south, the road was like a bamboo. There are more than 50 cities in the two counties of Yanmen, and even Yang Guang's faint monarch was captured alive by him, how magnificent it is.

But now, this is just a checkpoint, and it actually consumed 140,000 people, plus today, to be exact, half of the troops should have been lost, and only 150,000 people remained.

"Big brother, you can't fight!" Ashina Lifushe, who was in charge of today's siege battle, pounced and knelt in front of Shibi Khan, who was the son of Qimin Khan and the younger brother of Shibi.

But now, he doesn't want to fight either.

Shi Bi glanced at his younger brother with a few arrows, and then asked in a low voice, "How many Tiele soldiers are there?" ”

"Today's fight is relatively fierce, and 15,000 Tiele soldiers were consumed at one time, and the rest is estimated to be about 50,000." Livershher grinned, the brothers were the same in their attitude towards Tieler.

Fifty thousand?

Shi Bi thought in his heart, this number is more! If you don't do it, you don't stop it, and the consumption is clean.

And if it is withdrawn like this, it will be too embarrassing.

"Go home when you're done with it!"

"Okay!" Liversh smiled, "But I can't hold on." ”

Shibi nodded and said, "There will be someone attacking, you can rest in peace!" ”

On the city!

The elusive Li Jing appeared again, Niu Jinda, Su Dingfang, and Xue Wanjun accompanied him to inspect the city, Niu Jinda looked at the tired soldiers, and whispered: "We have been fighting for more than 20 days, and I don't know what happened to His Highness." ”

Li Jing smiled and said: "His Royal Highness is flexible and eclectic in his use of soldiers, he will not suffer, you just have to rest assured!" ”

In his opinion, there are many fierce generals among Yang Dong's generals, but there are not many real handsome talents.

Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Wei Chigong, and Niu Jinda are all fierce generals who charge into battle, and Shui Tianji will definitely retire and go home to teach her husband and children in the future, and Pei Xingyan, Su Dingfang, Xue Wanjun, and Xue Wanche, who have the potential to be handsome, still need a lot of war to sharpen! It's just that he found that he was gone, and through Niu Jinda's performance in recent months, this is also a character with handsome potential. He's growing every day.

Niu Jinda sighed and said worriedly, "To be honest, we really shouldn't let His Highness take this risk. ”

"Why?" Li Jingqi said.

"His Royal Highness has far-sightedness and has set up a grand blueprint for us, he is the person who really thinks about ordinary people, the best king in the hearts of all of us, and also our backbone! I have always been by His Highness's side before, and he is in charge of everything, so I don't think he is important at all! When he left, he was always tired and panicked. It feels like you're missing your backbone. ”

"Okay!" Li Jing glanced at Niu Jinda unexpectedly, "I didn't expect General Niu to have such an awareness." ”

Niu Jinda said smugly: "What's this, I like to read history now." Before, he was definitely not the material for reading, but after he arrived under Yang Tong, he was forced by Yang Tong to read history books, and he couldn't read it at first, but when Yang Tong showed them classic examples such as ambush on all sides, the Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Chibi, and the Battle of Weishui in the form of stories, and analyzed the pre-battle preparations, strategies used in the battle, and the reasons for victory and defeat, they fell in love with history books. When I read it carefully, I immediately became addicted to it.

Li Jing was in a good mood: "I can see that our General Niu is indeed not Wuxia Ameng." Okay, I won't hang your appetite anymore, I just received a battle report from His Highness here. ”

"How?" Niu Jinda was a little impatient.

"See for yourself!"

Li Jing handed him the battle report, Niu Jinda read it, and immediately felt good, "Your Highness made a move, it was really a fairy fart......

"What do you mean?" Li Jing has a black line.

"Extraordinary!" Niu Jinda shook his head triumphantly, this is the afterword he learned from Yang Tong, at this moment, even the knowledgeable Li Jing didn't know, it was really extraordinary......

Li Jing, Su Dingfang, and Xue Wanjun couldn't cry or laugh.

It's just that he also admires Yang Tong's great achievements, especially exciting, he actually hid his own army in the captives, and then put on a posture to paralyze Bu Lishe and Qi Jishe, to put it bluntly, it is not worth mentioning, but he just took advantage of this blind spot and beat the Turkic Chinese army all the way! In the war of fierce fighting, his unreasonable routine of playing cards will also suffer if he is replaced by himself.

And he also boldly divided his troops to capture the Khan Court, and even with the help of Princess Yicheng, he recruited Ashina Simo and forced tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers to surrender. Yang Tong's army is now twice as large as when he went out on the expedition, which is simply incredible.

"Lao Li, Your Highness has won a big win! Shouldn't we also burn this stupid presumption? Niu Jinda was so happy that he didn't pay attention and called out the name of Li Jing behind his back.

Li Jing disagreed: "The old nest was ended, and another 150,000 or 60,000 troops were lost under the Tiger Killing Pass, if there is no trace of success, his position as a khan is not very stable." I am afraid that there will be a fierce attack next, and we will continue to give him a glimmer of hope. ”

"They are all in the valley, and if they are burned on fire, won't they clean up the accounts?" Su Dingfang on the side was puzzled.

Li Jing shook his head and smiled: "You! It's still not thoughtful enough. The last fire is still left for His Highness to light. ”

"Why?" Su Dingfang didn't understand it even more.

"This is the need of domestic politics!" Li Jing let out a long sigh and said, "The country is in a mess of twine!" The Central Plains was defeated by the Wagang coalition army again and again; After the fatal blow of his cousin Xiao Milling in the south, His Royal Highness finally hit the majesty of the Great Sui has been consumed cleanly, and His Royal Highness has the power to kill Bu Lishe, Qi Jishe, and take the Khan Court, if he slaughters Shi Bi again! His prestige will surpass that of the saint, not only to scare away many careerists who are plotting to rebel, but also to buy precious time for the recovery of Jizhou, which is in ruins, and more conducive to his future ascension. ”

"You mean, Your Highness will be the prince in the future?" Niu Jinda's eyebrows danced, he didn't understand anything else, but he listened to what he said.

Seeing that there was no one around, and there was no war, Li Jing simply said: "Prince Yuande is both civil and military, has great talents, and the first emperor is also known as a natural grower, and the saint has always paved the way for him. Unexpectedly, God is jealous of talents. After he left, the Holy Lord planned to cultivate the King of Qi. ”

"After the death of the prince in the second year of the Great Cause, the Holy Emperor sealed the Yuzhou Assassin History of the King of Qi, and in the third year of the Great Cause, he was transferred to the Yongzhou Assassin History, Henan Yin, and Kaifu Yitong Three Divisions. also transferred tens of thousands of the prince's subordinates to him, but he was very arrogant, close to the villain, and often sent his subordinates to seek lustful dogs and horses. ”

"Princess Qi died early, but he had an affair with the widowed sister of the deceased concubine and gave birth to a son. What annoyed the saint the most was that the king of Qi actually invited the Xiangshi to the mansion to look at the woman and the child, and the Xiangshi said that the woman would be the queen, and said that the child would become the prince in the future. The king of Qi felt more and more that he was destined for heaven, so he became more and more reckless. ”

The three sons of Prince Motoku were seen as an obstacle by him, and secretly exercised witchcraft to get rid of them one by one. After the matter was revealed, the saint gave the Yuan clan to death, and since then the favor of the king of Qi has been decreasing day by day, and over the years, the saint has been taking the king of Qi with him, wherever he goes. This is not a favor, but a disassurance, for fear that he will cause trouble again. ”

"Among the three imperial grandsons, Yang Qi, the eldest grandson of the emperor, is smart and precocious, and is the most favored by the saints. The saint has always had the intention of appointing King Yan as the emperor's grandson, but he hesitated. Mainly because although King Yan is the eldest grandson, he is not a descendant. Although Yang Yu, the acting king, is a descendant, he is not as smart as King Yan. ”

When Su Dingfang heard this, he pouted unconvinced: "One is helpless against Wagang, and he has buried the good situation played by His Highness in vain; The other was suppressed in Chang'an and could not move. How can they be as smart and heroic as our Highness? ”

Li Jing agreed: "At this stage, only His Royal Highness Yingwu can lead the Great Sui out of the predicament. But His Royal Highness, like King Yan, is a concubine. According to the patriarchal system, the first heir should be the grandson of the grandson Yang Yu, then the eldest grandson Yang Yu, and then His Royal Highness. If the saint does not set up the second son of Qi King Yang Xuan, if he rebels against the eldest grandson Yan Wang, or His Royal Highness will be in disagreement with the patriarchal law. After all, after the death of the crown prince, he either set up a second son or an eldest grandson, and he has never crossed the second son and the eldest grandson but set up a grandson, and the second grandson has no chance. ”

Niu Jinda said: "According to what you say, won't our Highness have no chance at all?" ”

"It is true that there is no chance in peacetime, but now are troubled times! In troubled times, strength is respected, and nothing else matters... As long as His Highness makes brilliant and dazzling achievements, then everything will happen naturally! And this is also the fundamental reason why I want to leave the beginning to His Highness. His Royal Highness values love and righteousness, and will not forget everyone's contributions. ”

Niu Jinda glanced at Li Jing dissatisfied, "I said Lao Li, what you said made me feel uncomfortable, as if we cared about this credit." One by one, we were exceptionally promoted to today's position by His Royal Highness, not to mention one beginning, even if there are hundreds of beginnings, they can't fill this grace. ”

Su Dingfang and Xue Wan agreed!

Li Jing nodded his head, he had been poor until he was forty-six years old, he thought that his life was mediocre, but when Shaoguang was about to end, Yang Tong gave him another world, so he cherished this opportunity that he had been waiting for for many years more than anyone else, and when it came to the grace of knowing things, he valued it more than anyone else.

Because of this, Li Jing not only led the troops with hard work, but also tried his best to teach the generals, with the aim of cultivating more generals and handsome talents for Yang Tong. After all, he's Ben Wu's person! The time to be able to play for Yang Tong is running out.

'Boom! Boom! Boom! As soon as Li Jing's words fell, the drums suddenly sounded, the drums sounded like thunder, and the overwhelming Turkic soldiers poured in like a tidal wave, and the Turkic army once again launched a frantic attack on the Tiger Pass.

Kill the tiger! The war is back up.
