Chapter 291: The Sandpiper and the Clam Fight

When the war drums of the Wagang army just sounded, Liu Changgong knew that a bloody battle was inevitable, although the Wagang generals wanted to besiege the city and send reinforcements, it did not mean that they would let go of their team, for this, Liu Changgong still saw it very clearly.

Therefore, when the war drums of Wagang just sounded, Liu Changgong also made his soldiers ready to charge, he ignored the enemy troops behind the mountain, and planned to lead 5,000 soldiers to fight the enemy army in front of him, hoping to lead the team to break through the blockade and rush out of the mountain!

At this time, Shan Xiongxin led the Wagang soldiers to attack, Liu Changgong temporarily forgot the horror in his heart, and shouted loudly, "Soldiers, the enemy soldiers are all traitors and thieves, they are extremely vicious, and they do all kinds of evil!" ”

"They burned, killed, looted, and ate human flesh raw!"

"They never left a living mouth, never left prisoners of war!"

"Now, they have surrounded us in front and back, and in such an environment, we have no way to retreat, there is no way to avoid it!"

"Soldiers, if we want to live, if we don't want to be eaten alive by them, we can only move forward bravely and fight to the death!"

"The exit is ahead, and the way to survive is at your feet!"

"Only by fighting out of the mountain can we have a way to live!"

Liu Changgong's mourning performance extinguished the luck of the soldiers of the Sui army, and the soldiers suddenly felt desperate, and their morale dropped greatly, and then their desperate desire to survive was raised, and they shouted loudly: "Kill!" Kill! Kill! ”

Liu Changgong did not hesitate, nor did he let the soldiers think again, and after speaking, he waved his hand and shouted: "Beat the drum!" Offensive! ”

"Boom! Knock knock! Boom! Knock knock! ”

In the middle of the mountain, there was a huge sound of war drums, which was denser, more urgent, and louder than the war drums before and after the mountain, disrupting their rhythm.

Five thousand soldiers of the Sui army were also armed with swords, shields, guns and spears, shouting and urging the horses to advance, the war horses were getting faster and faster, in order to survive, in order not to be eaten by the rebels, they had no choice but to fight to the death, and there was no way out.

In the five or six zhang wide mountain, the charging formation of the two sides is exactly the same, and the soldiers on both sides are lined up in more than a dozen columns, they are armed with spears and spears, big swords and wooden shields, shouting all the way, killing the enemy at high speed!

At a distance of 300 paces, the cavalry hedging at high speed, and the forward soldiers of the two teams collided and became entangled in the blink of an eye.

The soldiers of the Sui army were not to be outdone, they had no way to retreat, such as madness, the spear in their hands pierced through, the wooden shield was smashed, all of them were like desperate San Lang, all of a sudden, hundreds of Wagang soldiers died unexpectedly, wherever they went, the Wagang soldiers dodged and retreated, and no longer dared to take it lightly.

Liu Changgong took the lead, with a black gold Daguan knife in his hand, swinging up and down quickly left and right, as if possessed by a martial saint, the sixty-eight pound Daguan knife, he made the weight light, the knife overflowed, he slashed and stabbed, rampage all the way, killing to the exit, along the way, Wagang soldiers did not have a single enemy.

Shan Xiongxin couldn't help but feel angry when he saw it, and he was furious, and rode his horse to rush towards him.

Shan Xiongxin shouted angrily, the long lance in his hand suddenly flew up and down, the power doubled, he smashed all the way left and right, all the way across the straight stab, everywhere he went, it was like the Shura Grim Reaper descended on the world, the long lance reached, the soldiers of the Sui army were all mutilated, and fell to the ground and died.

Masters meet, touch the winner or lose, defeat is life and death, either you die, or I die. The two main generals, the knives collided, the long lances danced, the big knives flew over, you came and went, for a while, they were not equal, and it was difficult to distinguish between them......

The Wagang soldiers are as strong as rainbows, brave and invincible!

The soldiers of the Sui army want to survive and fight to the death!

The soldiers on both sides did not give in to each other, fought fiercely, and the drums of both sides shook the heavens and the earth, staggered and overlapped, echoing through the mountains, layer upon layer, covering up all the shouts and howls. Casualties on both sides are rapidly mounting.

The fierce battle continued, the invisible time was passing, an hour was about to pass, under the front and rear attack of the Wagang army, 5,000 Sui soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and less than half of the soldiers were still intact, only more than 2,000 people.

The soldiers of the Sui army, who could not see hope, slowly appeared timid. They have woken up from Liu Changgong's speech on mourning soldiers, they are no longer desperate, they want to flee the battlefield, they want to surrender and save their lives.

It's a pity that the front and rear exits of the mountain have been blocked by the Wagang army, and the earth-shattering war drums have also drowned out all sounds.

Liu Changgong has also been separated from Shan Xiongxin, the battle of the two main generals, Liu Changgong is not Shan Xiongxin's opponent after all, fortunately in the melee, Liu Changgong felt bad, and immediately urged the horse to flee the battlefield of the two, Shan Xiongxin couldn't catch up, so he had to give up temporarily, and Chang Lance attacked other Sui soldiers.

Liu Changgong swung his knife and slashed forward, cutting down a Wagang general in front of him, and then stabbed him in a roundabout way, and a Wagang soldier who was about to sneak attack behind him suddenly fell to the ground.

Liu Changgong took the time to look around, after a long time of fighting, his physical strength had declined a little, but the battle situation around him made him a little desperate.

The surviving Sui soldiers were becoming more and more cowardly, and they gradually retreated together, back to back, passively resisting the attacks of the Wagang soldiers. They have been divided and surrounded, and there is no morale.

"Woo......"

Suddenly, a long horn sounded outside the exit of the mountain, and the dull but penetrating sound of the horn passed through the layers of war drums and entered the mountain.

Liu Changgong heard it in an instant, this was the horn of his own team, his own reinforcements finally arrived, Liu Changgong was immediately overjoyed, and couldn't help shouting, "Soldiers, our reinforcements have arrived, let's fight again, under the combination of inside and outside, we will definitely be able to break through!" ”

After Liu Changgong finished shouting, he seemed to have regained his infinite combat power, and the black gold Daguan knife in his hand flew up and down, killing the Wagang soldiers again, and in an instant, several Wagang soldiers died under the Daguan knife.

Perhaps it was because they heard Liu Changgong's shouting clearly, or maybe they heard the sound of the horn coming from outside the mountain, the surviving Sui soldiers seemed to see hope, and their morale suddenly increased, and they waved the weapons in their hands again and killed the Wagang soldiers.

At this time, outside the exit of the mountain, a court general was commanding 10,000 Sui army soldiers to launch a fierce attack on the Wagang soldiers who were blocked at the exit of the mountain.

The court general's surname is He, he is Liu Changgong's deputy general, and most of the hours ago, Liu Changgong's letter of request for help returned to Liyangcang.

As Su Shang thought before, the garrison generals of Liyangcang did not approve of sending troops to rescue again, but Yuan Min could not suppress the generals of the Luoyang Army, after a quarter of an hour of discussion, the generals of the Luoyang Army still insisted on sending troops to rescue, Yuan Min Yuannai retreated, and could only agree that General He led 10,000 infantry soldiers to the rescue.

"Order the forward soldiers, concentrate on attacking the enemy troops at the exit of the mountain, we must rescue the general!" The general surnamed Zhou gave a sharp order, his face was very gloomy, and the difficulty of the rescue was beyond his expectations.

"Yes!" The flag soldier replied, and then waved the command flag in his hand to give the order.

At this time, a scout with an anxious face galloped quickly from the rear army on horseback, "Report to the general, there is a brigade of Wagang rebels in the rear of the army, estimated to be about 20,000 people, led by Zhai Rang, the leader of the Wagang rebels!" ”

General He's face changed slightly, although he had been mentally prepared for this situation, but when it came to the end, he couldn't help but tremble.

"How many cavalry?" The general who asked the question was surnamed Zhang, and he was a confidant of General He.

"Report to the general, there are not many enemy cavalry in the rear, about a thousand people, they should all be the personal soldiers of the rebel generals!"

The general surnamed Zhang looked at the general surnamed He and said in a low voice: "General, looking at the current situation, it is difficult for us to break through the enemy's blockade with only 10,000 infantry, I think we should ask General Yuan for help and ask him to support another 3,000 cavalry to help us tear through the enemy's defense line!"

General He nodded in agreement, but said with a wry smile: "Do you think General Yuan will agree?"

"It's hard!"

The general surnamed Zhang also smiled bitterly, "But you have to try!" ”

The general surnamed He did not speak, he was a little silent, and after thinking for a while, he still decided to accept the suggestion and sent two soldiers to Liyangcang for help.

At this moment, another scout messenger arrived from the rear, "Report to the general, the enemy army in the rear has launched an attack!" ”

General He's face changed slightly, and then he returned to normal, and ordered: "Order, the three thousand front army will go all out to attack the enemy at the exit, and the middle army and the rear army will turn around to meet the enemy army in the rear, and make every effort to resist the offensive of the enemy army in the rear!"

"Yes!"

The banner soldiers waved the flag again, the army turned around, and the soldiers of the Sui army shouted and shouted to kill the enemy in the rear......

Half an hour later, the morale of the Sui soldiers in the mountain was low again, and after a fight, most of the surviving Sui soldiers were killed and injured again, and at this time, there were less than 1,000 Sui soldiers who could still stand in the entire mountain.

Under the first battle, the soldiers suffered more than eighty percent of the casualties, and the surviving Sui soldiers were no longer lucky, no longer had extravagant hopes, their military spirit had collapsed, they no longer resisted, and they jumped off their horses and fled with difficulty towards the slopes on both sides.

"General, look at this situation, it is difficult for our reinforcements to attack in, let's retreat first!" The general surnamed Zhou killed all the way to Liu Changgong's side and suggested in a low voice. He was lucky that although his martial arts were not very good, he survived intact.

Liu Changgong swept his long knife and cut off an attacking Wagang soldier, he understood the implied meaning of the words of the general surnamed Zhou, abandoned his soldiers, climbed the slopes on both sides and sneaked away!

However, he didn't speak, just his eyes were aimed at the hillside on the left, and he had already acquiesced to the suggestion of the general surnamed Zhou.

"General, your helmet is too conspicuous!" The general surnamed Zhou reminded that Liu Changgong, as the commander of the army, wears a red helmet, which is different from other soldiers and is very conspicuous!

Liu Changgong still didn't speak, waved his hand and beckoned a few soldiers who were relatively close, silently turned off the war horse, threw his helmet on the ground, and took the lead in climbing the hillside on the left.

……

Liyang Cang, in the hall of the Chinese army.

"Report to the general, the general was blocked by the rebels in the mountain and could not break through, and the 10,000 infantry soldiers led by General He were also blocked by 20,000 rebels, and they could not break through the enemy's defense line and enter the mountain to rescue the general, General He urgently asked you to send another 3,000 cavalry to help the infantry soldiers tear apart the rebel defense line!"

After the scout messenger finished reporting, Yuan Min didn't speak, just stared at the scout letter coldly, his face was expressionless, but his face was extremely gloomy.

After a long time, Yuan Min waved his hand and said coldly: "Retreat!"

The scout messenger did not dare to stay any longer, turned and trotted out.

Yuan Min turned around and looked at the generals in the hall, but he didn't speak, and the generals didn't speak, including the two left-behind generals of the Luoyang Army, and for a while, there was silence in the hall!

After being silent for a long time, Yuan Min looked at the generals and ordered in a deep voice, "From now on, no one is allowed to open the city gate without my consent, and no one is allowed to enter!" ”

"General Yuan, your three thousand duty guards are divided into three shifts, and they are on duty for twelve hours a day."

"General Wei, General Zhang, General Liu, and the officers and men of the whole army are divided into three shifts, which are respectively responsible for the three of you, one shift to rest, one shift to prepare for battle, and one shift to wait for battle, and rotate alternately every four hours."

"General Zhang, you immediately arrange for the soldiers to seal the gate of the North City!"

Yuan Min gave several orders in a row, and after speaking, all the generals still had to answer the order, and he turned around and left directly. Obviously, he was very angry in his heart, and he didn't plan to discuss the matter of sending troops to rescue at all.

The generals did not say anything, they were also very angry about the fact that the generals of the Luoyang Army insisted on leading 10,000 infantry to the rescue, knowing that the enemy army was besieging the city to help, and they had to go to death. Therefore, they didn't want to discuss anything about their request for help again, so they silently refused!

Moreover, there are only 18,000 soldiers in the current Liyang Cang, and this amount of troops is not enough to defend the Liyang Cang, so it is impossible to send troops to support it at all!

……

The sun goes down and night falls.

The sky in the mountains will always get dark a little faster.

The birds and beasts of the day have returned to their nests, but the successors of the night have already been dispatched, and the mountains are still very lively, and all kinds of cries come and go, converging into one another, praising the beauty of the mountains.

At this time, in the Liyang Mountain Range, the temporary station of the Allied Army, Su Shang was convening a meeting of the generals.

Two quarters of an hour earlier, he had received the latest detailed battle report from the Wagang army besieging the city.

In the first battle of Shanyu, the Wagang army successfully eliminated two Sui army teams, 15,000 Sui soldiers before and after, more than 5,000 were captured, but less than 3,000 escaped, and the rest were all killed, and the 5,000 cavalry soldiers led by Liu Changgong suffered more than seventy percent casualties, but Liu Changgong successfully escaped.

The Wagang army also suffered heavy casualties, including the attack on Liyang City, the Wagang army suffered a total of 13,000 casualties in order to slow down the siege of the city, including more than 6,000 casualties when attacking Liyang City, and 7,000 casualties in the first battle of Shanyuan.

When they surrounded and suppressed the cavalry of the Sui army in the mountains, they even reached a casualty ratio of one to one with the soldiers of the Sui army. Although they were outnumbered and attacked, they still suffered nearly 4,000 casualties under the desperate survival of the Sui soldiers.
