Chen Yingliang has always been very good at dealing with old stubbornness. After listening to Chen Yingliang's urging, Wei Xuan finally stopped being stubborn this time and followed Chen Yingliang's rapid progress. Liu Changgong's team, who were walking in front, kept cutting down trees on the roadside, piled up on narrow sections to ignite, thereby blocking and delaying the pursuit and harassment speed of the rebel cavalry, ensuring the speed of advancing towards Hongnong without much time delay.

Of course, there is another problem, and it is still the physical strength of the Sui army. When we lost so much that we could no longer lose, Wei Xuan had to consider the tactic of retreating to Tongguan with all his might. After careful calculation, Wei Xuan quickly came up with this big problem in Ga County and asked Chen Yingliang again: "Chen Jishi, did you think of this? After our team retreated to Hongnong, what should we do if Yang's rebel team followed Hongnong? Liu Changgong's team did not have the energy to go west to Tongguan overnight."

"About this, the villain originally thought of Hongnong's advice to you again." Chen Yingliang said respectfully: "His Highness Cai and the villain also considered this issue at the same time. We agreed to obtain your consent and allow Hongnong's garrison to move to the west and rush to Tongguan overnight to reinforce the garrison. General Liu's team took over Hongnong's defense on the spot."

"Let Hongnong's garrison reinforce Tongguan and let Liu Changgong's team take over Hongnong's defense on the spot?" Wei Xuan's eyes lit up and said happily: "A clever plan, why didn't I expect there was another way to let the new force continue to enter Tongguan westward and stay with the tired army to defend the city, so that there would be no need to worry about the physical strength of the Tongguan reinforcements."

"That's true." Chen Yingliang nodded and bowed and said respectfully: "The guards remained behind. Hongnong only had more than 1,000 defenders. He had to leave some troops to help General Liu's team be familiar with the city defense. At most, he could only send 1,000 troops to Tongguan for reinforcements. Even if the team under the command of the villain was less than 2,000, the troops were too small. So the villain was brave enough to ask you to dispatch the garrison from Qixiang County to Tongguan to participate in the guards. In addition, the two thousand defenders in Tongguan were about 5,000, which was enough to stop the Yang rebels for a period of time and win the return of our main force in the Sui Dynasty."

"Yes!" Wei Xuan agreed and said, "After arriving at Tongguan, I will not only mobilize the defenders of the Yixiang Township to participate in the war, but also immediately transfer the troops to Huayin to reinforce. No matter how hard it is, Yang Xuangan's rebels will step into Guanzhong."

"I hope this will not happen." Chen Yingliang sighed in his heart: "I hope Yang Xuangan's advancement will be slower. If Liu Changgong, a reliable team, could rush to Tongguan to participate in the battle, relying on some local rural soldiers and those unreliable Guanzhong troops, I can't guarantee that I will be able to defend Tongguan."

In the tense torture, when the sun sets after halfway, the exhausted Liu Changgong's team finally saw the towering Hongnong City Wall and entered the relatively open terrain of the Hongnong area. Before the exhausted Liu Changgong's team cheered, the Sui army suddenly sounded like thunder behind the Sui army. The previous rebel cavalry team came from behind. Chen Yingliang was forced to order the Servant Army to form a formation to fight, intimidating the rebels chasing behind. As a result, Chen Yingliang miscalculated that the rebel cavalry team had directly killed in front of the Servant Army this time. Chen Yingliang was caught off guard and almost suffered a loss. Xin Defu the response speed of the soldiers of the Servant Army was far above Chen Yingliang's reaction. He immediately raised his gun and swung his sword to fight with the rebel cavalry. Liu Changgong's team was also reluctant to pull up bows and arrows to cover the Servant Army's battle.

Because of some reason, the attack of the rebel cavalry was obviously unreasonable. When the number of troops was far short of the size, they rushed directly.

1000

In the formation of the National Army, they directly launched close-range battles with the National Army, who had been waiting for work for the past few days. Not only did they lose the inertial advantage of the horse charge, but they were also completely at a disadvantage in front of the National Army soldiers who had superior physical strength. They were soon killed by the National Army team of the National Army who were fighting with infantry and cavalry to overturn and retreat continuously.

The service army firmly gained the upper hand, but Chen Yingliang was confused and puzzled, because the rebel cavalry on the opposite side fought very tenaciously, and even at a disadvantage, he would not fight to the death. At most, he would just retreat slightly and reorganize the formation, and immediately fought again to entangle the service army, forcing the service army to continue fighting with them. Yang Wanshuo, who led the team, also led the lead and fought bloody battles with the service army soldiers. He was shot and still undefeated and did not escape. He still insisted on entangling with the service army soldiers.

"Are the Yang brothers seeking death by themselves?" Chen Yingliang felt even more confused and said to himself: "Why did the rebels do this? The rotary war consumed the physical strength of serving the country's army? It dragged us to wait for reinforcements? No, we all went outside Hongnong City and could withdraw Hongnong at any time. Whether it was the rotary war or persisted until their main force arrived, it would no longer have much effect on us? Also, the physical strength of this rebel cavalry is obviously insufficient..."

"Ah! Could it be...?!"

Suddenly thinking of a possibility, Chen Yingliang's little face immediately changed color, and he was shocked and sweated in a cold sweat. He immediately turned to Liu Changgong beside him and shouted: "Brother Liu, hurry up, let your team be on! Don't ask why, right now!"

Never had been ordered by Chen Yingliang, who had always been gentle and gentle, and saw Chen Yingliang's serious expression in the setting sun. Liu Changgong didn't think much about it, and immediately shouted and ordered the general attack, ordering the exhausted team to go up to help. As a result, when the service army had the upper hand, the Sui army soldiers under Liu Changgong also took exhausted steps and rushed forward to help, restraining and interfering with the enemy for the service army.

"Boy, your team has the upper hand, and Liu Changgong's team is so tired again. Why do you have to take the battle?" Wei Xuan asked Chen Yingliang.

"Shangshu Wei, I'll give it to you later\u

26c9

89e3 Release." Chen Yingliang replied with a serious expression: "I hope my guess is wrong, but for the sake of safety, we must kill this gang of traits as soon as possible, the faster the better!"

With the help of Liu Changgong's tired army, the service army continued to gain the upper hand, and the rebel cavalry team finally couldn't resist it. One by one, they began to escape from their lives. Although Yang Wanshuo, who was leading the team, was still fighting with injuries, his soldiers did not have the tenacity and determination to fight to the death, and escaped faster and more. Soon, only ten cavalry left beside Yang Wanshuo was surrounded by the service army and the Sui army.

"Catch the live ones! Catch the live ones as much as possible!" Chen Yingliang yelled, but Wei Xuan's eyes were almost out of his eyes. He was wondering why Yang Wanshuo had to commit suicide and fight to the end, and he was also angry that he did not have such a lucky chance to encounter such an easy victory.

Finally, the spear in Yang Wanshuo's hand was smashed into the air by Chen Ci's iron stick. Then two soldiers of the National Army who fought on foot pulled Yang Wanshuo off their war horses and captured Yang Wanshuo, who was seriously injured, alive. Then the last two cavalry next to Yang Wanshuo also put down their weapons and surrendered, ending this pure suicide attack.

Although he won the victory, Chen Yingliang still had no joy at all. He just ordered the soldiers to lift Yang Wanshuo, who was shot and two times, and then grabbed Yang Wanshuo, who was covered in blood, and shouted loudly: "Where has your partial division team been interspersed?"

Yang Wanshuo's dying lips moved slightly, as if he was saying something. Chen Yingliang, who was anxious, quickly put his ears on Yang Wanshuo's mouth. Unexpectedly, Yang Wanshuo suddenly spitted on Chen Yingliang's face with blood, then his head tilted and his death was on the spot. Before he died, only the last word was left, "Bah!"

After confirming that Yang Wanshuo was dead, Chen Yingliang wiped away the blood foam from his face calmly and shouted: "Are there any other prisoners? Take them all."

Seven or eight rebel prisoners with varying injuries were taken to Chen Yingliang. When Chen Yingliang asked the previous question again, several prisoners shook their heads and said they didn't know whether there was a rebel team and they didn't even know whether there was a rebel team and went forward. Chen Yingliang was furious and shouted: "At this point, do you still want to fight to die stubbornly, right? I wonder if there is your team and went forward. Why are you doing suicide charges and killing for nothing?"

"General White Robe, we really don't know." A rebel soldier with a milder injury said in a crying voice: "We only know that when we were still extinguishing the fire just now, Deputy Military Advisor Li caught up with us and said something to the fifth general. Then the fifth general led us to rush over."

"Okay, Li Mi, in order to gain some time, I can even use the ruthless trick of letting Yang Wanshuo die in vain!" Chen Yingliang stomped his feet in anger and shouted: "There is no need to clean the battlefield, go to the city right away!"

The worst situation finally happened. When the Sui army rushed to the east gate of Hongnong, Yang Zhiji, who had returned here early, led the city officials to welcome Wei Xuan and Chen Yingliang and his party, after meeting, before Chen Yingliang could ask, Yang Zhiji had already smiled and said with a wry smile: "Chen Jishi, you are one step late. When you were fighting with the rebel cavalry just now, I sent a scout on the west official road to report that there was an unknown number of rebel teams that had already deviated from the south mountain road to east of Hongnong and quickly headed towards Tongguan. There was also an unknown number of rebel infantry teams in the north. There was also an unknown number of rebel infantry teams in the Qin Dynasty road to the north."

"Sure enough! It's still a failure!" Chen Yingliang's heart sank, and his childish little face suddenly turned whiter than rice paper.

"How is it possible?" Wei Xuan screamed in disbelief: "The fatigue of the traitor team is not much easier than ours. How could they still intersperse in front of us?"

"Xiao Wang also found it unbelievable." Yang Zhiji said with a wry smile: "But the traitor team is interspersed in front of you. As for why the traitor team has such physical strength, Xiao Wang doesn't know."

"I know that the traitors let their cavalry team dismount and walk through." Chen Yingliang replied weakly: "When I saw that the cavalry under Yang Wanshuo's command was not strong enough, I had already thought of this possibility. The traitors let their real cavalry team dismount and walk through the mountain road, and they had enough physical strength to penetrate ahead of us."

"Ah!" Yang Zhiji was so shocked that he was rarely shocked and blurted out: "How did I forget this method? There were not many rebel cavalry. Yesterday, he did not consume much energy at all when he marched for hundreds of miles in one day. If he walked today, he might be able to penetrate in front of your tired army!"

"Tongguan, it's over! Guanzhong, it's over!" Wei Xuan, who knew his family and knew the situation in Tongguan, screamed stubbornly, and fell off his war horse, fainted without knowing the situation.
