- Li Yuan took the opportunity to play a double act with Li Shimin and finally persuaded everyone not to withdraw troops. But this is only a temporary solution rather than a permanent solution. As long as the Tang army cannot capture Huoyi for a long time, everyone will still bring up the discussion of returning to Taiyuan again, and it will not be so easy to suppress it.
It¡¯s no use shouting slogans now, we still have to make everyone feel hopeful.
But Huoyi Fort is not so easy to break.
At this time, Li Shimin suggested to Li Yuan that this place is Huoyi, and next to it is Huoshan. It is said that there is a mountain god in Huoshan, who is the second son of the Eastern Emperor and is in charge of famous mountains in the sea. Many people in Hedong believe in it and can help.
Huoyi is in danger of being guarded by a man. Hanxinling is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is difficult for the Tang army to attack Huoyi from the front. But Li Yuan found out that there was a small road for selling illegal salt at the western foot of Huoshan Mountain, which bypassed Huoyi City and went directly to the back of Huoyi City, so he had a plan in mind.
That evening, Li Yuan asked someone to dress up as an old man in white clothes and come to pay homage to the soldiers and civilians.
The way this man dressed showed that he was different from ordinary people, and he soon attracted an army of soldiers to watch.
When the man saw Li Yuan, he said, "I am the envoy of Huoshan, and I am here to pay homage to Duke Tang."
Li Yuan didn't believe it, so he asked: "God is unpredictable, how can you see that you are not a god? How can it be said by a god?"
The old man then said, "When the snow stops in December, the road goes out to the southeast of Huoyi. I will be the almsgiver and you can build a temple for me." After that, he disappeared.
Li Yuan sent someone to investigate, and sure enough he found this trail. Li Yuan was overjoyed and said: "There is no perfect path for man. If this god doesn't bully Zhao Wuxie, how can he fail me?" It seems that there is really a god to help.
Zhao Wuxie was Zhao Xiangzi, the founder of the State of Zhao. "Historical Records: The Zhao Family" records that in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Jin Dynasty, Zhibo united with the Han and Wei families to attack the Zhao family. Zhao Xiangzi was forced to leave Jiangdu and fled to Jin. Positive. Zhao Xiangzi's men were on the way to pursue, and when they passed Wangze (today's southwest Xinjiang), they encountered three people blocking their way.
The three men told Yuan Guo that they were angels of the Huoshan God, and gave Yuan Guo two bamboo tubes to bring to Zhao Xiangzi, asking him to act according to Zhu Xiangzi's wishes. In March Bingxu, it was guaranteed that he could eliminate Zhibo, expand his territory based on Huoyi, and occupy the land of Linhu in the future.
Later, in the Battle of Jinyang, Zhao Xiangzi sent Zhang Mengtan to persuade the Han family and the Wei family to defect. On Bingxu in March, the water flooded Zhibo's camp and destroyed the Zhi family.
In order to thank Huoshan God for imparting Zhu Shu, Zhao Xiangzi built a temple for him at Guandui Peak of Huoshan Mountain and ordered Yuan Guo to manage the sacrificial affairs. By the time of King Wuling of Zhao, the State of Zhao indeed occupied the land of Linhu.
Many people have heard this story. When they heard that Huo Shanshen appeared again and pointed out the way for Li Tang's army, they were all overjoyed and regarded it as a blessing from the gods. Suddenly, the morale of Li Tang's army rose.
The next day, when the heavy snow began to stop, Li Yuannai ordered his son Li Shimin to lead more than a thousand fine cavalry to the east of Huoshan Mountain, bypassing the small road to the southeast of Huoyi, and he himself led the army to attack the city.
Li Yuan led everyone to Huoyi City and clamored for troops to march. Song Laosheng ordered the Sui troops on top of the city to shoot arrows to fight back. Suddenly, arrows rained like rain, and some arrows hit Li Yuan.
Seeing this, Li Yuan took the opportunity to fall backwards and fell under the horse. Wang Changxie and the warrior Xun beside him immediately stepped forward to protect him, and then carried him back.
Song Laosheng, who was on the top of the city, was overjoyed when he saw Li Yuan fell from his horse. I saw the soldiers around Li Yuan were in chaos and crowded together. It was expected that even if Li Yuan did not die, he would probably be seriously injured.
The generals around Song Laosheng advised him one after another that it would be better to take advantage of the chaos of Li Tang's rebel army to attack and kill Li Yuan, which would achieve great success.
Although Song Laosheng had previously decided to stick to the strategy, he did not expect to seriously injure Li Yuan today. After thinking about it again and again, he still didn't want to lose this easily obtained credit, so he ordered the whole army to attack.
Li Jiancheng, who was still commanding the Chinese army at this time, saw the Sui army attacking and immediately ordered the entire army to retreat, leading Song Laosheng to pursue it.
Seeing that the Tang army was retreating in embarrassment, Song Laosheng felt that victory was inevitable, so he led his cavalry and gradually moved away from the city gate. Tang Jun had been waiting for this opportunity.
Seeing this, Li Yuan, who had returned to the formation at this time, immediately ordered the army to beat drums to signal.
When Li Shimin, who had been ambushing in the southeast of Huoyi City, heard the news, he immediately led the cavalry with Dou Cong to fight out and went straight to the rear of Song Laosheng's army.
Li Shimin's cavalry numbered less than a thousand, but they were all elite. Song Laosheng's rear army was attacked and immediately became confused.
Suddenly, the Sui army began to fall into chaos.
Li Shimin continued to lead his army to charge into the formation, and sent hundreds of people to Dou Cong to attack the city gate.
At this time, Song Laosheng was suddenly attacked, and he immediately realized that he had fallen into the Tang army's plan, and ordered a retreat. But the Tang troops surrounded him on all sides.Later, Li Shimin led his army to cut off Song Laosheng's retreat. Where could he escape?
However, Song Laosheng was also tenacious and led his troops to resist desperately.
Although Li Shimin's army was elite, it only had a few hundred people. The two sides were in a stalemate, and when there were more casualties, they could no longer hold on.
At this time, Changsun Shunde came out from behind, rushed forward, and shot Song Laosheng in the shoulder with an arrow. Song Laosheng was in a fierce battle and was caught off guard. After being hit by an arrow, he fell off his horse and fell to the bottom of the ditch.
Li Yuan had sharp eyes. When he saw Song Laosheng fell from his horse, he immediately shouted: "The Tang Army has captured Song Laosheng! The Tang Army has captured Song Laosheng!"
Song Laosheng¡¯s subordinates were frightened when they could not see Song Laosheng. They were frightened when they heard the call of the Tang army. Many of them turned around and ran away, heading straight to Huoyi City.
The entire Sui army became more chaotic and became a rout.
Dou Cong, who was separated from Li Shimin, led hundreds of people and rushed straight to the gate of Huoyi City. The defenders of the city gate had no time to close it, so they broke in for the opponent.
Wang Changxie and Liu Hongji, who were on both wings, also led their troops to outflank the enemy from both sides and rush into the city gate.
Song Laosheng, who was shot and wounded, almost fell to death. When he got up from the trench, he saw the chaotic scene on all sides. He was holding a long spear and wanted to organize an army immediately, but no one listened to him.
Two soldiers stood in front of him, supporting Song Laosheng in his retreat.
But the road was completely blocked by the defeated troops and they could not move forward at all. Song Laosheng was injured again and had difficulty moving, let alone riding a horse.
The three of them were surrounded by the rebels and were in a terrible state.
Liu Hongji, who was in the army, happened to see Song Laosheng running for his life in embarrassment. He reined in his horse, rode out lightly, and headed straight for Song Laosheng.
The horses¡¯ hooves flew quickly, and the soldiers on both sides separated like waves. Liu Hongji held a spear and charged in front of Song Laosheng. His horse's hoof was hanging in the air and he raised his spear to stab.
Song Laosheng was unprepared when he saw a spear with a cold light thrust towards him.
Liu Hongji stabbed Song Laosheng to death with a spear, then ordered his head to be chopped off, hung on the flagpole, and headed for the city.
Seeing that Song Laosheng died in battle, the defenders in the city had no intention of fighting and surrendered one after another.
The Tang army successfully captured Huoyi City. After Huoyi fell, the Tang army successfully opened the door to march into Fen and Jiang counties.
