Chapter 864: The Siege of Suoyang City Has Been Lifted (Fourth Watch)
"Brother Li, oh no, no, it should be the king of Liaodong County. I wonder what the outcome of this battle was? Xue Dingshan opened his mouth and asked Li Xin.
"Back to the generalissimo, this battle will be fought by Miss Xue, and she will fight against Su Baotong, the commander of Xiliang. not only accepted Su Baotong's eight flying knives, but also injured himself with his flying knives. Li Xin opened his mouth and said to Xue Dingshan.
"Great, I'll just say that my sister's shot is absolutely foolproof. As I expected, my sister really made a great contribution. Xue Dingshan said with a laugh.
"Big brother, I just defeated Su Baotong and didn't hurt his life. And he almost died at the hands of the Flying Bowl Monk. ”
"If it weren't for the timely help of the king of Liaodong County, he finally killed the flying bowl monk. I'm afraid my sister is in a different place now. Xue Jinlin said to Xue Dingshan.
At this time, Cheng Yanjin walked into the handsome hall with a big grin. Laughing and saying, "You two don't have to compliment each other there." ”
"Wasn't that affectionate vein enough on the battlefield just now? When I got to the top of the handsome hall, I was still in love with the concubine. I'm afraid that's not appropriate, right? ”
Being bitten by Cheng Jin's words, Xue Jinlian couldn't help lowering her head, and at the same time, her cheeks flushed. I can't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
Even Li Xin felt embarrassed, and didn't dare to look at Cheng Yanjin squarely. This also indirectly shows that Cheng Biting Jin is not arrogant.
This made Li Zhi very happy, and Li Zhi opened his mouth and said: "Of course, it is a good thing for Lang to love the concubine, and on the day of the triumph of Xiliang, I will personally organize the wedding for the two of you." ”
Hearing Li Zhi's words, the two parties were even more embarrassed. However, everyone didn't care how shy they were, and congratulated the two of them.
The scene was too embarrassing, and in order to change the topic, Li Xin opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, now Su Bao is seriously injured, and the Xiliang soldiers have suffered heavy losses. Why not take this opportunity to complete the plan to burn down the company camp. ”
Hearing Li Xin's words, Li Zhi nodded and said, "This is indeed the best opportunity, so please trouble my nephew to go to Sanguan." ”
After Li Xin nodded, he turned around and walked out of the handsome hall. However, when leaving, he didn't forget to look back at Xue Jinlian.
At this time, Xue Jinlian also happened to look up at Li Xin. The two of them looked at each other for a moment, but only for a moment they looked away. For fear of being seen by others as a joke.
But even for a moment, it was still seen by everyone really. Especially Cheng Yanjin actually teased directly.
Cheng Biting Jin was disrespectful to the old man, but Xue Jinlian was ashamed, and said that he wanted to see his father, and ran out of the handsome hall.
……
After Li Xin explained the use of the red-clothed cannon, he took Li Zhi's gold medal and left Suoyang City overnight and went to Sanguan.
And Xue Dingshan also began to order people to follow Li Xin's explanation and began to install wheels for the red-coated cannon. As well as having enough ammunition ready.
Three days passed, and it was finally time to make an appointment with Li Xin. When the night slowly fell, Xue Dingshan ordered someone to secretly open the gate of Suoyang City.
According to the plan, twenty-five red-coated cannons were shipped from each city gate. And according to Li Xin's explanation, a special fort was built for the red-coated cannon.
Time passed minute by minute, and finally the appointed time came. I saw a brilliant flame explode in the sky, and everyone knew that it was a critical moment.
With the bloom of this flame, outside the camp of the Xiliang Army, all the hidden stone-throwing vehicles started at the same time. Bottles of fierce fire oil were thrown into the camp of the Xiliang Army.
Because Su Baotong did not take the Tang army left behind in Sanguan in his eyes, he did not erect a wall several zhang high in the rear of the camp.
This made the stone thrower more effective, and bottles of fierce fire oil smashed into the camp of the Xiliang army like raindrops.
At the same time, Xue Dingshan also gave the order to open fire. At this time, the angle of the redcoat cannon has been adjusted with the use of a special turret.
It can be said that the angle of the red-coat cannon has now reached its maximum. So the height of the shell was much higher than it would have been.
So it was very smooth to enter the company camp of the Xiliang Army. As the shells entered the company camp, they instantly ignited the fierce fire oil.
Once this fierce fire oil is burned, it spreads very quickly, and because of its strong adhesion, it is difficult to extinguish it for a while.
As a result, the entire Xiliang Army camp turned into a sea of fire in an instant. There was a heart-rending howl from within the camp. All the Xiliang soldiers were struggling desperately.
All they could do now was to retreat in the opposite direction of Suoyang City. But Li Xin had already prepared for this. On the way to Sanguan, there are heavy troops.
And in front of these soldiers, tens of thousands of grenades were placed. Seeing the Xiliang army rushing over, he began to attack with grenades.
This time, the Xiliang Army is really no way to enter the heavens and no way to enter the ground. Not only were the soldiers of the Xiliang Army panicked, but even Su Baotong in the camp was shocked.
Although Su Baotong relieved the poison in his body, it was impossible for his body to recover in a short period of time. In addition, the iron plate road man was also seriously injured.
For a time, the entire company camp has become a group of dragons without a leader. In the end, Su Baotong's guards fled to the direction of Hanjiang Pass with Su Baotong and the iron plate Dao people in a desperate situation.
Naturally, there is also a part of Xiliang, following Su Bao to Hanjiang Pass. But even so, at least seven or eight hundred thousand Xiliang soldiers were burned to death by the fire.
……
The fire burned for a day and a night, and was slowly extinguished on the morning of the third day. Now the siege of Suoyang City is completely solved.
Therefore, Li Zhi decided to strike while the iron was hot and immediately sent troops to Hanjiang Pass. Prepare to take advantage of the victory and pursue, without giving the Xiliang soldiers time to breathe.
And Su Baotong, who withdrew to Hanjiang Pass, naturally did not stay in Hanjiang Pass. He was escorted by his guards to the capital of Xiliang.
However, the two or three hundred thousand defeated troops remained in Hanjiang Pass. It was handed over to the commander of Fan Hong, the general soldier of Hanjiang Pass, to fight against the Tang army.
Originally, there were 100,000 defenders in Hanjiang Pass, plus these 200,000 or 300,000 defeated troops, and now the Xiliang Army in Hanjiang Pass has reached nearly 400,000.
However, this still made Fan Hong worried, after all, Su Baotong personally led a million Xiliang soldiers, but they failed to trap the Tang army. With less than 400,000 horses in his hands, how could he stop the Tang army?
Just when Fan Hong was worried, a family member suddenly came to report. said that the eldest lady Fan Lihua came back from Lishan.
Hearing that his daughter Fan Lihua was back, a smile instantly appeared on Fan Hong's face. Fan Hong knows how brave and good his daughter is.
When Fan Lihua was young, she didn't lose to boys of the same age. Even her two elder brothers, Fan Long and Fan Hu, are not her opponents.
In addition, he has been taken away by Our Lady of Lishan for more than ten years, and I am afraid that now martial arts cannot be underestimated. And the way of commanding troops will naturally have some bad deeds.
And at this critical moment, he returned to Hanjiang Pass. Fan Hong thought that this must be the will of heaven, and it was God who wanted to help him Fan Hong and block the Tang army outside the Hanjiang Pass.
