Ashina Danai, the remnant of the Western Turks, was forced to defect to the court of the Sui Dynasty. In the sixth year of the great cause, Pei Ju used a peach and bamboo arrow and the promise of a princess to marry him to provoke a civil war in the Western Turks. Luo Khan at the Nipout of the West Turks was beaten all over the floor by the Shekui Khan of the West Turks supported by the Sui Dynasty, and Luo Khan at the Nipout was forced to surrender to the Sui Dynasty with Ashina Danai and other remnants . Although Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty treated these remnants of the Western Turks well, and gave them official positions after feeding them with delicious food, the seeds of hatred had already been planted. Surrendered to Li Yuan without hesitation, followed Li Yuan to rebel against Emperor Sui Yang, and overthrew Emperor Sui Yang.
Motivated by hatred, Ashina Danai, who was originally a fierce general, performed very well on the battlefield. Only in the battle of Pujin Pass, the soldiers of the Sui Army killed by Ashina Danai himself More than 30 people made great contributions to Li Yuan's rebel army's turn from defeat to victory. He fought all the way from Taiyuan to Tongguan. Hundreds of Sui soldiers died in his hands. He can definitely be regarded as a foreign butcher whose hands were stained with Han blood. He is also one of the most brave generals in Li Yuan's rebel army.
When encountering such a fierce general, Li Yi and Zhang Di, the old troops of Qiao County in Chen Sangliang's time, couldn't stand it any longer. , the gun stabbed the chest and the belly knife cut the horse's leg, but still couldn't resist Ashina Danai's attack like a tiger, and fell under his butcher knife one after another. Zhang Di stepped forward to fight with him, only one round , the first knife in the hand was chopped off by Ashina Danai's thick-backed machete, and the tiger's mouth was still bleeding on the spot, so he had to flee on horseback. The soldiers of the Sui army in front of the south gate of Cangcheng retreated steadily, gradually showing signs of defeat.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, the main force of the Sui army led by Chen Sangliang arrived, observed the battlefield and found that the situation at the main gate of Cangcheng was not right, and saw that Ashina Danai was unstoppable on the battlefield, killing many soldiers of the Sui army People, Chen Sangliang couldn't help but get angry, and while ordering the army to deploy, he pointed at Ashina Danai with a horsewhip, and shouted: "Who will take down the head of this thief for me?"
Chen Sangliang also had a few fierce men under his command, and before the words were finished, Yuchi Jingde and Qin Qiong had already stepped out, each with their horses straight at Ashina Danai, and Ashina Danai saw something from the corner of his eye. They rushed forward in bright armor, not surprised but delighted. First he stabbed at the shoulder of the Sui soldier in front of him, then slapped his horse and charged back, yelling, "You dog barbarian, take your life!"
Of course Ashina Danai kicked on the iron board this time, the left and right door gods both sneered, and roared at the same time, both of them stabbed Ashina Danai's chest with their spears, and the horse broke through the wind, both of them were as fast as Lightning, as fast as thunder, with the same speed and power, Ashina Da Nai knew it too well and dared not parry, so he quickly lay down on his back on the horse, dodged two spears between the lightning and flint, and three horses passed by staggered At the same time, the left and right door gods swung out at the same time, sweeping down the rebel soldiers who were following Ashina Danai to pick up the cheap, took advantage of the situation to rein in their horses and turned around, and charged at Ashina Danai again.
At this moment, Ashina Danai couldn't even turn his horse's head, turned his head to see the incomparably skilled equestrian skills of the left and right door gods, Ashina Danai immediately understood that he had encountered a powerful enemy that he had never encountered in his life, and secretly regretted underestimating the enemy Unconsciously, Ashina Dana conceded the defeat, put his horse forward and quickly put on a lance, suddenly reined in his horse and turned around, stabbed Qin Qiong in the chest with his carbine, and shouted, "Go to hell!"
Someone else might have already figured it out, but it is a pity that Ashina Danai met Qin Qiong, the right door god this time. Seeing the arrival of the lance, Qin Qiong just dodged sideways, and the horse lance in his hand was still probing forward, stabbing heavily. Ashina Dana's horse was on the buttocks of the horse, and at the same time Yuchi Jingde's horse lance had already stabbed him. Ashina Danai hurriedly dodged, but was still stabbed in the right shoulder by the lance. Suffering from the pain, Ashina Da Nai dared not rein in his horse for his own life, but fled forward while lying on his horse's back, Yuchi Jingde and Qin Qiong were chasing after him, fighting and yelling Incessantly, "Mine! Don't rob me!"
Roaring, Yuchi Jingde and Qin Qiong gradually caught up with Ashina Danai. Ashina Danai was already on the saddle and it was difficult to stab him. Yuchi Jingde could only reach out to catch Ashina Danai. With his left hand, unexpectedly, Ashina Danai's riding skills are quite good, he even put his left hand on the saddle and raised his left leg, flying his leg to kick Yuchi Jingde's face.
Ashina Danai found the wrong opponent, and what Yuchi Jingde is best at is immediately grabbing the enemy's weapon and stabbing the enemy back, how can he be afraid of his kick? With a sharp right hand, Yuchi Jingde had already grabbed Ashina Danai's left calf, and Qin Qiong on the other side also suddenly grabbed Ashina Danai's injured right arm, and shouted together: "I of!"
"Mother!" A tearing pain came, and Ashina Da Nai was shocked to find himself soaring into the air, being pulled away from the horse's back by Yuchi Jingde and Qin Qiong, left foot and right shoulder jumping together Tight, almost torn apart, Ashina Danai, who was scared out of his wits, no longer dared to think about any hatred, and subconsciously just shouted, "Master Zhongyuan, I surrender! Spare me!"
In desperation, Ashina Danai used Turkic language. Qin Qiong couldn't understand it, so of course he wouldn't let go, but Yuchi Jingde understood it, but because Ashina Danai was begging Qin Qiong for mercy, he also ignored it. In order to fight for merit, he just pulled hard, coupled with the galloping force of the horse, the skin and bones were cracked, and with a bang, Ashina Danai was torn into two pieces, and the dirty and smelly internal organs were scattered all over the ground. Yuchi Jingde, who was relatively strong, snatched most of Ashina Danai's body, and although Qin Qiong snatched less, he snatched the right shoulder and head.
Seeing such a tragic scene, Chen Sangliang, who was devoid of conscience, was of course delighted from ear to ear, and immediately ordered a heavy reward for the second general. The rebel generals such as Li Jiancheng and Wang Changxie who were watching the battle in Cangcheng stood there in a daze, never dreaming that Ashina Danai would end up in such a way.
After praising Yuchi Jingde and Qin Qiong heavily, Chen Sangliang immediately ordered to strengthen the attack, and sent troops to attack the main entrance of Yongfeng warehouse, trying to seize the opportunity to enter the warehouse. The demoralized rebel army turned from prosperity to decline, and began to retreat again Then Chen Sangliang ordered the follow-up siege weapons to be dispatched, and continued to attack the south gate wall of Yongfeng warehouse head-on.
The sun has long since risen, and arrows and flying stones are constantly coming and going in the sunlight. The soldiers of the Sui Army, led by trench bridge carts, lined up in a neat line, shouting and striding towards the enemy city. The rebel soldiers desperately shot arrows to stop them. In the southwestern corner of Cangcheng, the rebel troops of Ma Sanbao, Niu Jinda and Li Xiuning also fought like a raging fire, screaming fiercely. The sound went straight into the sky, and the sound spread for ten miles.
The strong and brave Sui army gradually gained the upper hand in the field battle. The rebels at the main gate were retreating steadily. The Sui army soldiers at the forefront had already stepped on the suspension bridge. The south gate of Cangcheng was forced to close the gate. Although he did not lose the wind in the fierce battle of the black door, he was also afraid of being blocked outside the door and was forced to retreat to the door. The soldiers of the Sui army chased after him and cut off the ropes of the suspension bridge. Their blades pointed directly at the half-opened south gate .
Several gunpowder bottles were suddenly thrown into the crowd of the Sui army, and there was a loud noise when they exploded. The soldiers of the Sui army were shaken out of chaos by the shock wave. When it was closed, more than a dozen rebel soldiers were blocked outside the city. The soldiers of the Sui army were furious, and rushed forward to charge. Countless feather arrows and falling rocks had already been thrown from the city. Therefore, the dream of the soldiers of the Sui Army to take the opportunity to rush into the city also came to naught.
Seeing this scene, although Chen Sangliang was disappointed, he didn't regret it too much. He just turned his eyes to Li Jiancheng's handsome flag, and said in his heart: "Brother Jiancheng, you really have skills and are a general. It's a pity that you can't become my assistant."
"My dear brother, you are really powerful, but I will not admit defeat." Li Jiancheng was also looking at the location of Chen Sangliang's handsome flag, and said in his heart: "I still have hope, for the sake of the Li family, I must fight you to the end! "
At this time, the mutation regenerated, twenty or thirty rebel soldiers suddenly jumped down from the city wall, and threw the grass drenched in tung oil and sulfur into the wall hole dug by the soldiers of the Sui army, and threw in two gunpowder bottles. With a loud noise, the grass ball burned violently, and the soldiers of the Sui army who were digging the wall in the narrow space were crying and howling, dying or injured. At the same time, the dozen or so rebel soldiers with ropes tied around their waists flew up to In the city, the soldiers of the Sui Army quickly shot and killed them with arrows, but more than half of the rebel soldiers managed to escape back to the city wall.
Without Chen Sangliang's instructions, Sui soldiers had already stepped forward to put out the fire, rescue their companions and continue digging. Zhang Jixun, who was in charge of providing bow and arrow cover, also ordered the archers to concentrate their feathers and arrows to cover the top of the wall to prevent the rebels from repeating their old tricks. In any case, the speed of the Sui army's siege of the city was greatly affected, and the speed of progress suddenly slowed down.
"Damn, you're still very good at taking advantage of gunpowder." Chen Sangliang cursed, pointed at the battlefield where Li Xiuning's army was with his horsewhip, and shouted: "Luo Shixin, come on! End the fighting there as soon as possible!"
In the sound of promises, Luo Shixin led the headquarters to stride forward and joined the melee battlefield from the side. The little monster Luo Shixin once again took the lead and smashed the spear handle among the enemy groups. He was unstoppable. Almost at a disadvantage, Li Xiuning tried his best to restrain the army, and was forced to flee the way he came. He wanted to flee back to Cangcheng. Niu Jinda noticed Li Xiuning's army's plan, and took advantage of the opportunity of a better position to rush to the front of the suspension bridge to intercept him, and refused to give Li Xiuning's army any more. Chance of escape.
The melee outside the warehouse became more brutal and fierce. The rebels who were eager to escape rushed back desperately. The Niu Jinda army blocking the road had no danger to defend, and there was a threat of rebel bows and crossbows behind them. It was extremely difficult. Ma Sanbao and Luo Shixin also continued to attack Li Xiuning's army, but they were still unable to disperse the rebels. In the end, Luo Shixin was in a hurry. He simply put on his two swords and charged into the enemy group. The soldiers behind Luo Shixin were afraid that the general would lose, so they hurriedly followed.
During the melee, Luo Shixin bumped into his old rival Qiu Xinggong again. Qiu Xinggong, who knew that Luo Shixin was strong, knew that he was invincible, but he still gave up his life to intercept him. It bought some time for the rebel soldiers, and made more rebel soldiers stick around Li Xiuning's banner. Luo Shixin failed to get in after several attacks. Yi's wound, he screamed in anxiety, but there was nothing he could do.
At the critical moment, several gunpowder bottles flew out from behind Luo Shixin, fell into the densely populated rebel army and exploded. Luo Shixin was overjoyed at first, and then cursed himself for being confused, forgetting that Chen Sangliang had equipped his own army with gunpowder bottles to confuse the enemy , hurriedly yelled and ordered the soldiers to throw out the gunpowder bottles, while he strode forward against the impact of the explosion and the enemy's knives and guns, slashing all the way and continuing to attack Li Xiuning.
The rebel soldiers who were disturbed by the gunpowder explosion finally couldn't stop the little monster's advance. Luo Shixin, who had cut a gap with both knives, finally killed Li Xiuning. Seeing Luo Shixin who was covered in blood, he looked crazy When the tiger came, Li Xiuning, who had always been calm, finally panicked. He subconsciously pulled out his horse and ran northward. The rebel soldiers who could not break through Niu Jinda's blockade followed in a panic. The dense formation of the rebel army was finally in chaos. Taking advantage of the momentum to pursue and chase after Li Xiuning's defeated soldiers, slogans to capture Lady Li alive kept coming and going, and many soldiers of the Sui Army with good character even shouted slogans to capture Lady Li alive.
At the same time, after seeing Li Xiuning's defeat to the north, all the rebel generals on the city wall panicked and shouted to Li Jiancheng: "Commander Zuo, it's not good, Mrs. Li made a mistake in her busy schedule and fled to Weishui! Dead end!"
Li Jiancheng's face was livid, and he didn't dare to look at Li Xiuning's situation at all. After a while, he said with a gloomy face, "I hope she doesn't want to commit suicide. Even if she is captured, with the temper of a good brother, she won't do anything to her."
Knowing sister Mo Ruo brother, at this time, Li Xiuning finally realized that she had made the biggest mistake in her life—fleeing to the bank of the surging Weishui in a panic! But when it was too late to look back, the soldiers of the Sui army had already rushed in like a tide, blocking her other escape routes. It could be that they wailed and put down their weapons and knelt down to surrender. Only a few vicious rebel soldiers resisted stubbornly, and some rebel soldiers fled directly to the west, not daring to turn back.
Li Xiuning doesn't know how to swim, and of course she doesn't know how to surrender. Hearing the slogans of the Sui army soldiers chanting to seize Li Niangzi's camp, Li Xiuning was completely desperate and could only cry to the west in the direction of Daxing: "Father, Daughter is going first!"
After shouting, Li Xiuning jumped into the surging Weishui...
It's a pity that Li Xiuning failed to commit suicide. After drinking the muddy river water, she was dragged ashore by two soldiers of the Sui army who jumped into the water. The angry soldiers of the Sui army wanted to strip her naked and insult her on the spot Fortunately, Ma Sanbao was in the army, and stopped everyone in time, and ordered her to be escorted to Chen Sangliang and handed over to Chen Sangliang for disposal.
When Li Xiuning was escorted in front of Chen Sangliang, she certainly looked as miserable as she could be. Her whole body was wet, her clothes were torn, her hair was loose, her once charming face was blue and purple, and it was full of mud and water. , so weak that he couldn't even stand still. Seeing the appearance of Li Xiuning who almost became his sister-in-law, Chen Sangliang was filled with emotion, and said with a wry smile: "Sister-in-law, I really didn't expect that we would meet again in such an environment, are you okay?"
Looking desperately at Chen Sangliang, who was dressed in a white robe and silver armor, Li Xiuning said hoarsely, "Chen, if you are still a man, kill me with one knife! Give me a good time!"
"Why should I kill you? You are still very useful, so I can't kill you now." Chen Sangliang replied calmly, and then said: "But don't worry, anyway, you are also from a famous family, and you almost became my sister-in-law , I will not let you be humiliated, go to the prisoner-of-war camp with peace of mind."
After saying that, Chen Sangliang was about to order Li Xiuning to be taken away, but cheers suddenly came from Cangcheng in front of him. Chen Sangliang and the generals of the Sui army hurriedly looked up to see the room, only to see the city wall of Yongfengcang appear first The crack shook, and soon there was a loud noise, and finally fell to the ground under the excavation by the soldiers of the Sui Army at all costs. , all brave.
Seeing this scene, Li Jiancheng's face was as pale as paper, and he had to bow his head and give the order to abandon the warehouse and flee for his life, so that the army could flee out of the city. Chen Sangliang breathed a sigh of relief, and murmured: "Finally it was taken down, but unfortunately, the price paid was too great."
There was already a huge irreparable gap in the city wall, and it was meaningless to hold on any longer. Li Jiancheng, Wang Changxie, Sun Hua and others hurriedly opened the two northwest gates and led the army to the city with a soldier in hand. Fleeing in the direction of Daxing in the west, Chen Sangliang did not want to increase the loss and did not order to intercept. He just ordered the infantry brigade to enter the warehouse to control Cangcheng. The defeated soldiers of the army. At the same time, the reinforcements sent by Dou Cong from Pujin Pass finally arrived at the north bank of the Weishui River. Unfortunately, it was too late, and there was no bridge or ferry to cross the river, so they had to rush west to Xingde Palace, which had a bridge. .
The defeated rebels who had been attacked by the cavalry of the Sui Army were of course defeated again, but the overly open terrain gave the rebel generals and soldiers a lot of opportunities to escape. Fleeing in the mountains and forests where the cavalry is difficult to move, Li Jiancheng, Wang Changxie and others who had changed into the clothes of ordinary soldiers also fled desperately on their horses. He saved his life, and more or less saved some remnants and defeated generals.
Li Jiancheng's escape was expected by Chen Sangliang. In fact, Chen Sangliang deliberately let Li Jiancheng survive. In order to give Li Jiancheng a chance to escape. So after receiving the news that Li Jiancheng had escaped the Weishui River, Chen Sangliang was not only not surprised at all, but also looked to the north, thinking to himself: "Brother Jiancheng, go. This time I let you go because I haven't I am qualified to pardon you, and next time I can make my own decisions, you will not even think about running away."
After muttering, Chen Sangliang ordered to withdraw the pursuers, but just as the order was sent out, Fang Xuanling, who was staying in the camp, rode up to Chen Sangliang, and directly attached to Chen Sangliang's ear, whispering: "Brother, something is wrong. I just received the news that on the night of the 28th, the main force of the rebel army has broken through Daxing Palace City!"
Chen Sangliang was shocked, and quickly asked in a low voice, "Where is His Royal Highness?"
"I only heard that he escaped from the city disguised as a servant, and there is no further news yet!" Fang Xuanling replied in a low voice.
Chen Sangliang was not shocked this time, the corners of his mouth were still slightly upturned, and he secretly said: "Sure enough, Master Yin still listened to my advice, just run away, it's better to die, it doesn't matter if you don't die, the framework of the Daxing court It has already been smashed to pieces by the old thief Li Yuan, and I can use my paintbrush on the blank paper in Guanzhong after I get Daxing back."
