come to the heavens

Du Fuwei's troops are located in and south of Xuzhou, occupying the north of the Huaihe River, and across the river from the Chu Army's Li Zitong's troops in the south of the Huaihe River. The two armies had always had disputes and frictions, but as Ye Chen defeated Wa Gang army, the two armies have reached an armistice agreement, Du Fuwei mobilized the main force to gather in Xuzhou to guard against his attack.

The [-] army marched southward in three routes, and even the Kezhen stayed in other places, and finally formed a siege on Xuzhou, a place of hundreds of battles.

Xuzhou's strategic location is extremely important, both ancient and modern. Du Fuwei originally had [-] troops stationed here.

This [-] army is not a miscellaneous army like the Wagang Army, which has old, weak, sick and disabled, but a regular army composed of all strong and strong men. It is not easy to capture the advantage of the city.

If other forces want to capture Xuzhou, where Du Fuwei personally sits, there is no possibility of attacking the city without an advantage of more than three times the force. Xuzhou City itself has an army of 10,000, which is not a small number. Even if it faces [-]+ in a frontal field battle The army will not be weak, let alone occupying the advantage of a strong city, it is extremely difficult to capture it.

It's a pity that among the Sui army was Ye Chen, a pervert who went beyond the rules. He first surrounded Xuzhou City, and then sent people to block the gates on three sides with stones so that they could not be opened, and then led the army to attack from the main gate.

Turning into a human-shaped siege engine, he blasted away the west gate of Xuzhou, and led the main force to attack the city from the west gate, killing them step by step.

To deal with Du Fuwei, you can't go straight into the central army like you did against the Wagang Army. The Wagang Army is just a second- and third-rate army, and its combat effectiveness and execution are extremely poor. Du Fuwei's army is all veterans, and the number There are more than the Sui army. He wants to attack the city lord's mansion of the Chinese army. As long as Du Fuwei avoids him and orders a general to lead the army to intersperse from the left and right wings where the Chinese army is out of touch, he can immediately divide the Sui army into four parts. Sometimes even if you can win a melee, you will lose a lot.

Of course he would not make such a mistake. The three armies on the left and right wings of the central army responded, and the rear army followed closely behind, using him as an arrow to push across step by step.

Although Xuzhou City is a big city, no matter how big it is, it is just a city. 10,000+ armies from both sides spread out to divide the city into two. At the front line, the soldiers of both sides were almost connected one by one from the east to the west of the city.

If someone can look down from the sky, they can see that the entire city of Xuzhou is divided into two parts, one half is black armored, the other half is gray armored. There is an arrow in the middle of the black armored Sui army, which goes straight into the middle army of the gray armored side.

Although Ye Chen was still unstoppable, he did not rush out too far alone like before. The distance between him and the headquarters was no more than [-] meters. Ministry's headquarters.

Generally, the headquarters for guarding the city is in the center of the city, as close as the four city gates so that it is convenient to issue orders. Du Fuwei personally sits in Xuzhou this time, and it is also in the city lord's mansion.

Half an hour later, the central army of the Sui army had already attacked the city of Xuzhou, and the left and right wings had not gone a kilometer away, and the battle line was drawn into a mountain shape. Du Fuwei thought he saw an opportunity and sent two troops to attack the two wings and the center. Military Junction wants to cut off the connection between the three armies.

It's a pity that Ye Chen had already prepared for it. The most elite troops were placed there, and two generals were sent to guard it.

At the same time, Ye Chen also launched an attack on the City Lord's Mansion, and the two sides fought fiercely here.

Du Fuwei seems to have transferred all the main forces here, and the dense army is pouring in continuously, and the two sides are red-eyed here.

The killing lasted for a whole afternoon. At night, Du Fuwei's troops were a little bit exhausted. Ye Chen took the opportunity to attack the city lord's mansion in one fell swoop, and took away Du Fuwei and his subordinates who were in command of the city lord's mansion. kill.

Du Fuwei didn't know if he didn't know Ye Chen's force, or he was too confident that he didn't give way and stayed directly in the city lord's mansion. When Ye Chen rushed into the city lord's mansion alone, he laughed and said that Ye Chen was seeking his own death.

As a result, there was no accident. The entire command center was wiped out. The generals of Du Fuwei in the city fought on their own, and were soon divided and surrounded. By midnight, the battle in the city was completely over. The 5 Du Fuwei army died in battle. Less than [-] remnants were forced to surrender.Ye Chen blocked the gates on the other three sides of Xuzhou City and blocked them in the city. If they don't surrender, they will die.

As soon as Du Fuwei died, his rule fell apart immediately, and the army fell down wherever he went. In less than half a month, the famous Du Fuwei became history.

Ye Chen continued to lead his army south without stopping, and confronted Guo Zitong's troops on the bank of the Huaihe River, but at the same time, he secretly led his troops across another section of the Huaihe River with the help of the Huailong King's Huai Gang, and directly attacked the Chu army on the other side of the river. Then take the opportunity to forcibly cross the Huaihe River and defeat this Chu army in one fell swoop.

After leading the army to capture a county by the Huaihe River, the Sui army's offensive stopped suddenly. Within a few days, Guo Zitong's general Zhang Ling suddenly rebelled, led [-] troops to surrender to the Sui army, and occupied Yangzhou, an important town. Ye Chen immediately marched. Fighting with Zhang Ling left and right, defeated Guo Zitong's main force, and beheaded Guo Zitong outside the city of Hangzhou.

Chapter 249 The Luoyang Incident, the Death of Yang Guang

Zhang Ling, the descendant of Captain Zhang that Ye Chenchu ​​met when he came out of Lianhua Mountain, contacted Zhang Ling when he attacked Guo Zitong, and joined forces with all descendants in the Chu army to defeat Guo Zitong at the lowest cost.

After defeating Guo Zitong, Ye Chen only rested for half a month and reorganized his troops. Together with Zhang Ling, a total of [-] troops marched up the Yangtze River, preparing to attack all the way to Xiangyang, and then went north to attack Wang Shichong and Li Yuan. As long as these two parts are defeated, the entire Central Plains will be unified. Even if he is not around in the future, it will not be difficult to reunify the world with Yang Guang's ability to develop slowly for a period of time.

It's just that the plan didn't change quickly. In other words, he destroyed Wagang first, then Du Fuwei, and Guo Zitong in just a few months, which shocked the whole world and scared other forces.

Just as he was about to march and set off, an urgent report disrupted his plan.

Sitting at the top of the camp, he held an imperial decree in his hand and looked at it. Below stood a dusty eunuch. After watching for a while, he put down the imperial decree and asked:

"When did you leave?"

The eunuch wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly replied:

"The old slave set off from the capital eight days ago. He didn't dare to be negligent all the way. He ran to the death of five fast horses before rushing to the general."

"Well!"

Ye Chen rubbed his forehead and said:

"It seems that there is still time. With the city defense of the capital and the support of Xizong of the Demon Gate, it should be no problem to persist for a month!"

Speaking of this, Hong Sheng raised his eyebrows and said:

"Lonely battle!"

"The end is here!"

"Order to take [-] troops to guard Hangzhou until a new order arrives."

"The last general takes orders!"

Ye Chen nodded, glanced at the other generals present, and said in a deep voice:

"Others are preparing, immediately bury the pot and make a meal, and prepare to leave in an hour and return to Luoyang!"

"Here!"

The imperial decree brought by the eunuch Yang Guang was not a matter of seizing power, but an imperial decree to protect him, because he wiped out three forces in a row in just a few months, which caused panic among other forces. Li Yuan, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande and other forces joined forces to attack Luoyang, Luoyang has been surrounded for more than ten days now.

For Ye Chen, unpaid is not a good thing. Li Yuan, Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande are the most powerful among the remaining major powers in this world. Now the main forces are gathered under Luoyang City. As long as they can be defeated in Luoyang, the world will be pacified just around the corner.

But this premise is that Luoyang City can persist until he leads the army back, leaving [-] to be led by Dugu Zhan, and he personally leads the [-] army to return to the dynasty. , if there is an army blocking the road, the speed will be slower.

So Ye Chen thought about it, and decided that the army would go behind, and he would take a short cut with a group of soldiers and rush back first.

There is a distance of thousands of miles from Hangzhou to Luoyang. Even if you take a shortcut and ride horses all the way, it will take at least eight or nine days to get there. Just two days after departure, he met the second group of special envoys on the way, with Yang Guang An urgent imperial decree urged him to return to Beijing quickly.

Ye Chen decisively left behind his soldiers, crossed the mountains alone, and rushed to Luoyang in a straight line.

The imperial decree was issued in just two days. Obviously, Luoyang City is very dangerous. When we arrive in Luoyang seven or eight days later, the day lily will probably be cold.

And he was on the road alone, and it would not take a few days without stopping around the clock.

Finally, at noon on the fifth day, Luoyang City, which was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops, appeared in front of him. He just took a look at the densely packed army, then turned and touched an unnamed abandoned temple several miles away from Luoyang City. One of the exits of Yang Gong's treasure house is here.

In Luoyang City, in the imperial palace, Qingxinwan, Sui Emperor Yang Guangzheng and the empress were admiring the flowers in Qingxinwan, but neither of them was in the mood to enjoy the flowers. The empress said with a worried face:

"Your Majesty, I heard some people say that the general has evil intentions and wants to stand on his own, and he doesn't want to send his troops back to the court to rescue him?"

Yang Guang looked at the lotus in the pond ahead with his hands behind his back, and said confidently:

"That's someone spreading rumors. I believe that the general will return to court immediately after receiving the imperial edict."

The queen said again:

"But even if the general returns to the court immediately, it will take at least half a month to arrive at the speed of the army. At that time..."

Yang Guang looked back at the queen and said with a smile:

"You don't have to worry, the queen. The capital has plenty of soldiers and food, and the city is strong and powerful. It won't be a problem to hold it for half a year. I will definitely be able to wait until the big..."
