Chapter 1665 Failure

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Qu Tutong, eager to advance westward, chose to attack at night.

    Liu Wenjing ordered a group of soldiers to garrison the South Pass of Tongguan, while the main force was stationed in the outer camp of Beiguan.  This gave Qu Tutong the opportunity to raid Liu Wenjing's camp.

    Qu Tutong ordered Sang Xianhe to be the vanguard and lead his troops to attack.

    Sang Xianhe was the most powerful general under Qu Tutong. He led eight thousand men as the vanguard, left Beiguan and headed straight for Liu Wenjing's camp.

    Liu Wenjing set up three camp fences in front of the camp for defense.

    In fact, Liu Wenjing camped west of Beiguan, hoping to lure the enemy to attack and lure Qu Tutong into taking the bait.  But Liu Wenjing himself was a civil servant. He thought of war too simply, thinking that he could win a thousand-mile victory by strategizing.

    But Liu Wenjing did not expect that when the Sui army really attacked, he would not be able to stop it.

    Liu Wenjing¡¯s troops are all new troops, and there are no strong generals in the army. It seems that the numbers of both sides are about the same, but the actual combat power is much different.  So Sang Xianhe led his troops to attack directly behind Liu Wenjing's army.  Tang Jun couldn't stop it at all.

    Soon, the first camp fence was lost, and then the second camp fence was also lost. The Tang Army's camp was in emergency again and again. Liu Wenjing was shocked when she heard the news.

    Now we are in big trouble.

    The decisive battle between the two sides was such a good show. Before he even started his performance, the Sui army was already fighting in front of him.

    At this time, Liu Wenjing was also full of courage.  He knew that this was his first and only chance to lead an army independently. If he failed, he would never have the chance to command the army again.

    So Liu Wenjing personally led his troops to defend the camp in front of the third camp, and fought to the death with the Sui army.

    At this time, arrows were raining down, and the two sides were engaged in a battle of body and will.

    Liu Wenjing rushed to the front line and was shot by a stray arrow.

    At this time, the generals around him stepped forward to protect Liu Wenjing and advised Liu Wenjing to go to a safe place in the rear.  Liu Wenjing asked someone to cut off the arrow shaft for him, and said loudly: "If the army is defeated now, I will no longer be safe, what's the use?" So he continued to lead the army in a fierce battle.

    The Tang army was moved by Liu Wenjing's gesture, so they all stepped forward bravely.

    Sang Xianhe led his men and fought fiercely with the Tang army all night, but failed to defeat the opponent.  However, the Tang army was already exhausted after being attacked by the Sui army all night, and was not far from defeat.

    At this critical moment, the Sui army's offensive suddenly stopped.

    It turned out that Sang Xian and the soldiers were exhausted after a whole night of fierce fighting, so they ordered the troops to suspend the attack and have breakfast first, preparing to wait for the soldiers to regain their strength before launching the final attack on Liu Wenjing.

    Sang Xianhe thought that he had a sure chance of winning and would not miss this meal.  But he was wrong. He underestimated the Tang army's counterattack ability and was too optimistic about the situation.

    At this time, Qi Luo, who was on the top of the city, heard the sound of fighting below the city weakening and quickly asked Qu Tutong if he ordered Sang Xianhe to retreat.  After receiving Qu Tutong's negative answer, Qi Luo was shocked and said hurriedly: "The Tang army is already at its limit. As long as our army continues to attack, it will surely kill the opponent. The offensive has stopped, which gives the Tang army a chance to breathe.  "

    Qu Tutong was also shocked and quickly ordered Sang Xianhe to continue the attack, but it was already too late.

    Liu Wenjing's tactical ability is not very good, but in terms of strategy, he is more than one step ahead of Sang Xianhe.  After he discovered that the Sui army had suspended its offensive, he immediately realized that this was an opportunity, so he decisively adjusted his troop deployment and ordered Shi Wanbao and Sheng Yan divisions to sneak into the two camps that had been breached.

    The two men led their troops to advance separately, and the Sui army was making a fire to cook.  The Tang army killed the Sui army sentries and quickly regained their position.

    Sang Xianhe was so shocked after hearing this that he didn't even bother to eat and ordered his men to continue the attack.

    The Sui army lost the chance of victory by eating each other but not eating.

    Liu Wenjing held on to the danger and tried to delay as much time as possible to wait for reinforcements.  Although they were lucky enough to recapture two camps, the Tang army had already lost this battle and there was no possibility of turning defeat into victory.  The only thing Liu Wenjing could do was not to let Tang Jun lose even more miserably.

    At this time, Sang Xianhe ordered an attack, and at this moment, a ranger with only a few hundred people patrolling appeared unexpectedly behind the Sui army's position.

    This unit is not a reinforcement of the Tang Army, but a straggler.

    Shi Wanbao¡¯s army is mostly composed of bandits from Guanzhong and is good at disrupting wars.  On the battlefield today, this group of people were also fighting in the melee. Seeing the power of the Sui army, they felt fear in their hearts. They didn't know where they ran. When they returned to the battlefield, they had already appeared behind the Sui army.

    The commander of this force was also knowledgeable. Seeing this opportunity, he immediately ordered an attack on the Sui army.

    The Sui army is moving forward. Many Sui soldiers are still in the camp, eating randomly. The entire formation has not been deployed, and the attacks of various units have not been launched.There is no expansion.

    At this time, the Sui army's back was at its weakest.

    No one would have thought that a broken army could "swim" behind the Sui army at a critical moment and launch a sudden attack on the unsuspecting Sui army.  Therefore, facing this enemy "reinforcement" falling from the sky, the soldiers of the Sui army suddenly panicked and dealt with it in embarrassment.

    The troops that were charging forward didn't know what was happening behind them. Seeing the chaos behind them, they also retreated one after another.  So the Sui army embraced each other from front to back, and the formation was in chaos.

    Liu Wenjing, who was in front of the army at this time, looked at the chaos of the Sui army opposite and didn't know what was going on.

    However, Liu Wenjing decisively believed that this was a good opportunity to defeat the enemy, so he ordered the entire army to attack the Sui army.  Tens of thousands of troops quickly attacked, and the Sui army began to collapse.

    Sang Xianhe could not restrain the army and had to retreat.  The entire Sui army either died or surrendered, but Sang Xianhe escaped with his body and fled into Tongguan City alone.

    In this battle, Sang Xianhe was defeated and lost troops and generals, which greatly reduced the morale of the Sui army.

    The most important thing is that the Sui army's hope of victory is getting smaller and smaller.

    Qu Tutong was also extremely upset. This defeat almost completely eliminated the possibility of him returning to Guanzhong to rescue Chang'an.  The road ahead was cut off, and the base at Puban in the rear was also surrounded by the Tang army. Qu Tutong was completely caught in a dilemma.

    Without this supporting army, the fall of Chang'an is inevitable.  There is no need to elaborate on the consequences of Li Yuan's occupation of Chang'an.

    Qu Tutong was filled with despair and didn¡¯t know what to do, how he could save his Sui.

    At this time, Liu Wenjing won and sent people to summon him to surrender. Qu Tutong looked up to the sky and cried, saying: "I have been favored by the country, I have experienced two masters, and I have been generously paid. How can I escape safely? All I have to do is die!"

    When Liu Wenjing failed to surrender, he found a servant of Qu Tutong and asked him to go to persuade him to surrender. However, Qu Tutong was unmoved and instead killed him.

    Li Yuan also sent Qu Tutong¡¯s son Qu Tushou to give advice in front of the battle.  Qu Tutong yelled at his son from a distance: "Where did this thief come from? I used to be your father and son, but today I am your enemy!" Then he ordered the archers on his left and right to shoot Qu Tushou.

    Qu Tutong¡¯s attitude was firm, but nothing could be changed by Qu Tutong, and the situation in Tongguan continued to deteriorate little by little.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
