Chapter 641

After hearing the news of the great victory of Prince Li Jiancheng, the second concubine Yin was even more ecstatic. Concubine Yin couldn't help but praise: "Your Highness the Crown Prince defeated the Liao army head-on, which is really brave! I'm afraid that Your Highness the King of Qin will not be able to compare with the bravery of Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Li Yuan was in a good mood and immediately drafted an imperial edict. Then he ordered the eunuch Zhao Yong to rush to Li Jiancheng with the imperial edict and awarded Li Jiancheng the title of General Tianwei. Feige sent a letter to inform Li Jiancheng of this good news first. Li Jiancheng and his subordinates were ecstatic and felt that with this title, they completely overshadowed the King of Qin Li Shimin in their reputation! Li Jiancheng and his subordinates were ready to defeat Yuchi Gong in one fell swoop the next morning and recover the floating bridge of the Wei River!

Time passed slowly in the excitement of Li Jiancheng and others. Finally, the sky was white and the night was about to pass. Li Jiancheng couldn't wait to summon the generals and issued an order to attack. At this moment, a scout hurried to report to Li Jiancheng: "Report to the Prince, the Liao army has fled!"

Li Jiancheng was surprised and happy, worried that he had heard it wrong, so he asked hurriedly: "What did you say?" The scout said quickly: "The villain was ordered to monitor the movements of the Liao army. Not long ago, the villain discovered that the Liao army was evacuating the camp and retreating to the north bank of the Wei River!"

General Xue Wanche couldn't help but say excitedly: "The Liao people must be afraid, so they ran away in a hurry!" Li Jiancheng nodded deeply, and then worried that Yuchi Gong would escape, he would not be able to make great contributions. He immediately ordered: "Each army gathers together to fight immediately! Never let the enemy escape!" The generals agreed with a loud voice.

Not long after, 50,000 Tang troops gathered together and came out to pursue the Liao army under the leadership of Li Jiancheng. The two sides fought fiercely on the south bank of the Wei River. The Liao army was about to collapse and all escaped the Wei River. The Tang army was as strong as a rainbow to chase the Wei River, and fought with the Liao army on the north bank of the Wei River. The Liao army was defeated again and fled to Pujin Pass.

At noon, the Tang army arrived at Pujin Pass and then launched a fierce attack. The Tang army originally thought that the Liao army would collapse like before, but after fighting, it was discovered that the situation was completely different from before. The Liao army relied on Pujin Pass to defend and used the rolling stone squat to repel the Tang army's fierce attacks one after another. By the evening, the Tang army did not make any progress, but instead suffered a lot of people under Pujin Pass. Li Jiancheng was very upset and felt that he had boasted about Haikou in front of the empress. If he could not take Pujin Pass in one fell swoop, wouldn't he lose face? So he ignored the evening of the day and ordered the army to continue the fierce attack. In order to boost morale, he promised that as long as the Cheng Pass was broken tonight, everyone would be rewarded with 100 taels of silver, and each officer would be promoted to one level!

As a result, the Tang army officers and soldiers, who were originally a little lazy, suddenly burst out with amazing fighting spirit and rushed towards the city gate along the simple ladder, completely ignoring the rolling stones and arrows that were pouring down! The Tang army suffered more and more casualties, but officers and soldiers continued to surge on the city, and fierce battles broke out in many places on the city. Under the reflection of the afterglow of the sunset, cold light flashed and flesh flew across the city! The purpose was all terrible scenes of fighting, and the officers and soldiers on both sides were fighting wildly.

Wild beast! At this moment, the so-called civilization and human nature are gone, and there is only the most primitive killing! The fierce offensive of the Tang army was gradually curbed, and the counterattacks of the Liao army became more and more fierce, and it felt like a tiger was gradually suppressing the crazy wolves! In the bloody battle, there was already a scene of corpses on the top of the city! Suddenly, a Tang army soldier was raised high by a Liao army officer and threw him down from the city wall. A shrill scream echoed over the entire battlefield!

When the sky turned dark, the Tang army's spirit was finally exhausted. Seeing that it was difficult to break through Pujin Pass, Li Jiancheng had to order the army to suspend its attack and retreated for several miles to lay down the camp. At the same time, he ordered some officers and soldiers to rush to build siege equipment, preparing to break through the pass in one fell swoop. Li Jiancheng believed that the reason why the attack was hit today was entirely because Pujin Pass was natural barriers easy to defend but difficult to attack, and they fought along the way only a simple cloud ladder could be used, so they failed to break through the pass in one fell swoop. If they prepared enough siege equipment, they would definitely break through the pass in one fell swoop.

It was already deeper. Except for the officers and soldiers who were still rushing to make siege equipment, most of the other officers and soldiers had fallen asleep. They were tired all day long and were very tired.

In the early morning, thunder came faintly from the sky, from far to near. The Tang soldiers, who were rushing to build siege equipment, couldn't help but look up. At this time, the sky was white, the sky was already bright, and there were a few slender white clouds floating in the sky, but there were no rain clouds? These soldiers who were already very tired could not turn their minds for a moment, but they did not take this matter to heart, and continued to be busy with the matter at hand while yawning. Although they had no rest, they had no complaints, because they, the officers and soldiers responsible for siege equipment, could rest in the camp without having to join today's siege battle. The ding-dong dong sounded no longer as urgent as before, and they rang out twice from time to time, and felt like these tired officers and soldiers, looking weak.

At this time, the thunder sounded more and more. The officers and soldiers didn't take it seriously and continued the work at hand.

"Huh? What is that?" An officer suddenly pointed to the southwest and shouted. The officers and soldiers around him subconsciously looked in the direction of his fingers, and saw shadows in the morning fog, as if there were many people like horses. The tired people were not very good at their minds and did not react for a while.

At this moment, countless war cavalry suddenly rushed out of the fog, and suddenly rushed into the Tang army camp without fence protection. For a moment, thousands of horses were galloping, and a huge roar seemed to stir up the earth! The Tang army officers and soldiers were shocked at this time. After reacting, many people screamed: "Enemy! Enemy!..." Many war cavalry rushed into these busy places of the Tang army, and saw swords flashing through flesh and blood flying. These exhausted Tang army officers and soldiers were cut down to the ground one after another, without any ability to resist! At the same time,

Other war cavalry rage throughout the camp. The Tang army officers and soldiers who were lying around the campfire to rest awaken one after another, but before they understood what was going on, they were sent to the underworld by the rushing iron hoofs! The officers and soldiers who were resting in the military tent had not had time to rush out of the military tent, and were trampled by the iron hoofs and the military tent. They didn't know what was going on until they died. The Tang army finally reacted hurriedly resisted, but what role could it play in front of the rushing iron hoofs? It just caused such a small wave!
