Sui and Tang Dynasties: Engagement to Li Xiuning, start with heavy snow dragon ride

"promise."

Duan Da took the lead.

The army continued to move forward, and it was still moving forward against the strong wind.

"The weather is not good."

After giving the order, Duan Da looked at the gloomy sky and said.

Cloudy and windy, with no chance of heavy rain and possibly snow.

After all, this is Bingzhou, and it gets colder the further you go.

And it's winter, and it can snow anytime.

Fortunately, on the occasion of the expedition, the soldiers all changed their armor to be a little warmer.

Secondly, there are drinks as a calorie supplement.

The army moved forward for a while, when suddenly there were shouts of killing and the sound of arrows flying.

Then there were a few roars, obviously the former army encountered a big battle.

Duan Da was frightened and hurried to the front army to command the battle.

At this time, Yang Zhao, the Chinese army, was not in a hurry, as if he had expected this.

After a while, Duan Da returned quickly.

"Your Highness, you were attacked by a small group of rebels just now!"

Reported by Duan Dahui.

"Well, how many people?"

Yang Zhao replied softly, and asked a question back.

"It is estimated that there are about a thousand people."

Duan Da replied.

"It seems that they don't want me to arrive in Xihe County so soon."

Yang Zhao murmured.

From the very beginning, he knew that the so-called ambush was nothing more than hindering the advance of the army.

If Li Shimin would go out of the city to fight so easily, it would save a lot of trouble.

"Your Highness, this subordinate has a plan!"

Duan Da suddenly cupped his hands.

Yang Zhao looked at Duan Da and motioned him to speak directly with his eyes.

Chapter 225

"This rebel army should have more than a thousand people. They must have divided into many batches and ambushed ahead."

Duan Da said.

"In your opinion, how many people do you think there are?"

Yang Zhao asked flatly.

"Return to Your Highness, it is estimated to be around five thousand."

Duan Da stretched out five fingers.

"The only one that can eliminate the army in time is Xihe County, which means that Xihe County has eliminated half of its troops to stop our army."

He continued.

"So what does General Duan mean?"

Yang Zhao raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Xihe County can't provide support, our army can just change routes here, and go straight to Shangdang County to catch them off guard!"

Duan Da said.

"yes."

Yang Zhao replied, his expression still calm.

"Your Highness, behind Shangdang County is Taiyuan."

Duan Da said excitedly.

He can also be regarded as a general, so he can naturally find this fighter.

Moreover, once Yang Zhao followed Duan Da's suggestion and succeeded, Duan Da would be the hero who took down the Li family's rebels.

This will have advantages and disadvantages for Duan Da's position in the court in the future.

"But if the enemy deliberately guides our army to go to Shangdang, wouldn't our army be tricked?"

Yang Zhao asked back.

"This..."

Duan Da was dumbfounded for a moment.

"At that time, it will be a waste of time, and we will not be able to break through Shangdang County to attack Taiyuan, or we will suffer heavy losses."

Yang Zhao continued.

Hearing these words, Duan Da's back was sweating coldly.

"The rebels shouldn't have thought of this, right?"

Duan Da was lucky.

"The recent arrangement of the rebels has been very clear, that is, to form a strong line of defense outside Taiyuan. Will they personally tear down their own line of defense?"

Yang Zhao asked.

"This..."

Duan Da was speechless.

Thinking in another way, he definitely won't.

But it is also possible to make the mistake of sending people out to stop the enemy in order to delay the enemy, thus causing a crisis in the Shangdang.

"The opposing general is not an ordinary person, he may be the second son of the Li family."

Yang Zhao looked into the distance.

Those eyes seemed to see through the strong wind and haze, and saw Li Shimin who was looking dignified in Xihe County.

"This guy seems to have grown up, at the critical moment of the Li family's life and death."

Yang Zhao murmured.

He believed that Li Shimin made such an arrangement because he saw how fierce he used his troops.

"And the second son will not easily fall into the scheme of luring the enemy to go deep."

Yang Zhao held the hand of the rein, stretched out his index finger and tapped the rein.

"move on."

After thinking for a moment, Yang Zhao continued to give orders.

"promise."

Duan Da took the lead and let the army continue to move forward.

During the march, as Duan Da expected, he was repeatedly ambushed by rebels.

Although the ambush was not strong and there were almost no casualties, it made the soldiers more vigilant and exhausted.

Moreover, many potholes were encountered, and the army almost stepped into them.

Yang Zhao remained calm as always, as if everything was under his control.

So Duan Da knew that continuing to march would only make the soldiers more exhausted, so he had to follow the military orders.

After encountering more than ten ambushes, the army was quite exhausted, and there was still a long distance from Xihe County.

Yang Zhao also finally ordered to stop and rest, and set up camp at the same place.

It was only when the camp was set up that day that it snowed heavily in the sky at ten o'clock at night.

The sudden drop in temperature made the Sui army miserable.

"Hey, if this goes on like this, we will definitely lose."

Duan Da looked at the trembling soldiers and sighed secretly.

And this year, the heavy snowfall in Bingzhou came earlier, as if God didn't help them, and turned his head to help the Li family.

At this time Yang Zhao was alone in the large tent of the Chinese Army, with his hand on the handle of his saber, staring intently at the map in front of him.

"rustle..."

There was a sound of footsteps, and they stopped in front of the tent.

"Subordinate Shen Lian, please see Your Highness."

A voice followed.

"Enter."

Yang Zhao agreed.

The tent curtain was lifted, and Shen Lian walked in quickly.

"See Your Highness."

Shen Lian saluted.

"Exemption."

Yang Zhao said lightly, signaling for Shen Lian to report the military situation directly.

"Your Highness, the Li family sent an army of 5000 people to hinder our army's advance."

Reported by Shen Lianhui.

"This news, I already know."

Yang Zhao replied.

After hearing this, Shen Lian turned to report other news.

Most of them are about Xihe, Shangjun, and Shangdang County's defenses.

In fact, at this time, Jin Yiwei couldn't get too much information.

Because the Li family's nerves are tense now, and the discussion is only with cronies, it is difficult to obtain core information under such circumstances.

"How about Li Cunxiao?"

Yang Zhao asked.

"General Li has successfully arrived in the northern part of Bingzhou, and disguised himself as a Turkic cavalry to surprise Mayi County."

Reported by Shen Lianhui.

"Ah."

Yang Zhao nodded slightly.

"Once Cunxiao starts fighting, Li Shimin should be moved."

he murmured.

Shen Lian remained silent, waiting for Yang Zhao's order.

"Go back."

Yang Zhao replied.

"promise."
