Chapter seven hundred and forty seventh gathering of wind and clouds
King Taiping was the first emperor of the Sui Empire, Emperor Wen of Sui, and the only king who ordered the execution. It would be great if he did not add insult to injury, but would he still come out to help?
However, everyone present was quite convinced of King Taiping's military capabilities.
The name Taiping originally means "when peace comes out, the world will be at peace". You can imagine its prestige and achievements.
"Yes, I am convinced. Although King Taiping has a violent personality, he is still loyal and affectionate in nature. He has devoted countless efforts and most of his life to this country. He is no different from a child. He will never sit back and watch the country sink!"
Gao Qiao looked into the distance with complicated eyes, and said firmly in a tone that seemed to be very confident. He also seemed to be speaking to himself and everyone present, more like he was trying to cheer himself and everyone up.
In fact, most of the nine kings of the Sui Dynasty had long since retired, including King Xuanxiang, who had long been disappointed with the Sui Empire and even resented it. Isn't it also because of this that he still came out to lead troops when his life was approaching?
To say how loyal and unwaveringly loyal he was to the Sui Empire and the new emperor... Sui Gong Emperor Yang You is a bit false.
"Times make heroes. We, a group of old immortals, have not yet died, but we are forced to this point by a brat. It's sad! What a shame!"
The taciturn Double Spear King Ding Yanping sighed with a self-deprecating smile. After a pause, he continued with high fighting spirit:
"Let's fight! After all, it can't end like this. Returning horses and corpses is the best destination for qualified soldiers!"
…
In the canyon, the pass is in Hangu Pass, so it is named Hangu Pass.
Compared with the Battle of Bohai to destroy Xia and the Battle of Dongdu to destroy Tang Dynasty, the Hangu battlefield was so small and humble that it was not even taken seriously by the people in the world.
However, when it comes to bloodshed and cruelty, the Hangu battlefield is even better than the Bohai and Dongdu battlefields.
Ever since the Sui army bypassed Hangu Pass and besieged Dongdu, they have never stopped peeping at and attacking Hangu Pass. There was a small battle every day and a big battle every three days. There were constant assassins on a daily basis. The frequency and bloodshed were frighteningly high.
.
Imperial concubine Li Xiuning and her army of women took the opportunity to take a breather and rest during the Sui army's evacuation for nearly ten days, and then fell into a seemingly endless bloody battle.
Hangu Pass, which is not considered vast to begin with, is located in Han Valley. The death blood clouds formed by the evil clouds, blood energy, and death energy have not yet dispersed, but have begun to "replenish" again, making Hangu Pass eerie and eerie for more than a month.
A piece of it, the smell of blood and putrefaction is pungent to the nose.
The west city wall, which was originally demolished and only crudely built, has been demolished and flattened countless times, and then crudely built countless times.
Even the originally intact east city wall was demolished twice, and was simply replaced with piles of rubble, broken wood, etc. It was said to be a city wall, but it was a bit like a pile of debris.
Today's Hangu Pass has no appearance of a majestic pass. The front, rear, and east-west city walls are completely made of rubble, broken wood, debris, etc. They are just used as simple barriers. There are no city gates at all, let alone
The city wall.
Today's Hangu Pass is like "closing off the country and occupying the mountains alone". There are no reinforcements at all, but only endless and endless enemy troops.
Fortunately, there are reinforcements from Liguo, and the treasures in storage are used to continuously transport supplies, medicines, etc. Otherwise, the supply problem alone would have wiped out the Detachment of Women in the Pass!
At this time, women's tenacity is fully demonstrated.
Such a high-intensity bloody battle, such a poor and brutal environment, even the men were either dead or crazy, mentally numb like a walking zombie, but the Detachment of Women still persisted in an orderly manner, and even frequently gathered training soldiers, breaking countless eyeballs.
"Empress! Good news! Great joy!"
After repelling another wave of bloody attacks by the Sui army, Li Xiuning, who was mentally exhausted and visibly thinner, just dragged his heavy steps back to the courtyard when Eunuch Li shouted with joy.
Eunuch Li, the owner of the Lotus Tower, was mainly responsible for protecting Li Xiuning and preventing assassins. He didn't go out in many battles and was in good spirits, but he was tortured enough. When he heard the report of the Bohai battle, he breathed a sigh of relief and danced with excitement.
"Oh?" Li Xiuning, whose face was exhausted and her pretty face was withered and pale, responded calmly with numbness in her exhaustion.
This is the price of being a great general.
The Battle of Hangu completely established Li Xiuning's top military status as the concubine, and she paid a high price for it. She didn't even care about her image, and her whole person was almost deformed!
However, at this time, Li Xiuning was restrained and calm, with a bit of a "return to nature" feeling, like a finely polished gem.
"The Kingdom of Xia has been destroyed and the King of Xia is dead. Our army will gather in Henan at full speed and will soon sweep across the world..."
Eunuch Li's eyes were shining brightly, he was excited and shouted loudly.
When the Li Kingdom unifies the world, as a minister of the Li Kingdom and the owner of the Lotus Tower of the Shadow Palace among the four palaces of the Li Kingdom, he will naturally rise with the tide.
"Yeah?"
Li Xiuning was stunned for a moment, looking numbly in the direction of Dongdu. Instead of being happy or smiling, he was even more worried.
"Empress..."
Eunuch Li was stunned for a moment, a little confused and nervous, and shouted in a low voice, muttering to himself:
"Isn't it possible that Concubine De was stupid during the battle? That would be tragic..."
"The Kingdom of Xia has been destroyed, the King of Xia is dead, our army is gathering in Henan at full speed, and our final test is coming..."
Li Xiuning shook his head, smiled softly as if feeling relieved, and said calmly. After a pause, his voice was hoarse and he ordered to the left and right:
"I will take a rest, please be alert. If more than 10,000 people are attacked, call me again..."
After saying that, he entered the house by himself, waved his arm, and closed the door!
"..."
Eunuch Li stared blankly at the closed door, opening his mouth and speechless.
…
Bohai County.
After capturing Bohai, entering the Summer Palace, and watching the death of Xia King Dou Jiande, Li Wang Wuxin did not stay in Bohai City for long, and did not even wait to clear the battlefield. He only took a short rest and ordered the withdrawal.
Kamikaze Hou Fengya stayed in Bohai and was responsible for everything after the destruction of Xia, including handling prisoners of war, cleaning up the battlefield, appeasing the people, etc.
Summoning ships of all sizes on both sides of the Mother River, the Li army was allowed to cross the river as quickly as possible. Led by Yan Guogong Luo Yi and Wei Guogong Li Mi, they led the army westward with all their strength and speed to the Henan station.
The main force led by Ergong is naturally the army of the old Wei and the old Yan. This will also be the main force of the Li army to destroy the Tang Dynasty and conquer the Sui Dynasty.
Of course, the Xinwu Guards and the various suppressing armies will also head westward at full speed. Anyway, except for the Kamikaze Army and some of the Separatist Army, all the Separatist Army will converge on Henan at full speed.
Once the Xia Kingdom was destroyed, Wu Xin guessed the reaction of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and also knew the crisis situation of the Hangu Pass Detachment of Women, so he would naturally send reinforcements at full speed.
Nowadays, the biggest advantage of the Li Army is the Sui and Tang Dynasties and various forces. Unexpectedly, Bohai City fell so quickly and Xia Kingdom perished so quickly. Many deployments and responses may not be available in time. This gave the Li Army an opportunity, and it was also the Li King Wuxin who came to Bohai in person.
One of the main purposes was not just to watch the King of Xia fall and to intimidate the enemy.
Given the situation in the Xia Kingdom, without King Li Wuxin coming in person, Bohai would have fallen and King Xia would have died. It was just a matter of time!
Up to this point, the agreement between Li and Tang was still inconclusive, and Tang King Li Yuan still used the emergency of war as an excuse to delay...
