Volume 3: Building the Foundation Chapter 89: Breaking the Formation

Yang Jishan's 800 troops approached the city, Li Junxian and Cheng Yanjin were the generals, and Shen Mingquan was the first to call the battle.

"Huh? That's all there is to the officers and soldiers...... Did you come to die? Sun Xuanya couldn't help but sneer.

"King, let the Ishiheo of the left battalion go out of the camp to suppress it, these officers and soldiers are just spectacles." The thief army master boy who was watching the battle at the head of the city said.

"Don't be careless, I think this group of officers and soldiers is a little weird." Sun Xuanya instinctively refused.

He looked up and down at the military formation outside the city again, and ordered: "Shen Ming hates me to the core, and he came to take revenge this time, so he can't let him run anymore." Sun Laoqi, you go and order 5,000 soldiers and destroy him. Cut off ten heads,...... That morning's little lady will reward you, go down! ”

Sun Laoqi responded and went down and ordered all the men and horses to attack.

Shen Quanming picked up the knife, but everything yelled: "Kill!" ”

Looking at the ant thieves surging over in front of him, Yang Jishan snorted coldly, clenched the sword and shield with both hands, and gave the order to counterattack: "Raise the shield, set up the spear, the archers are ready, put!" ”

Woohoo! Different from the chaotic attack method of the ant thieves, the Qi army first threw bows and arrows, then blocked by the shield array, and then used spears to pierce through the gaps, advancing in rings, like fish scales, called the array of fish beauty.

The sound of spears piercing through the body was dull and bloody, and soon the first wave of thieves fell to the front.

Li Junxian and Cheng Yanjin lined up on the left and right of the army, each with a team of men and horses, and attacked with a big shield and spear.

"Forward!" Cheng Biting Jin shouted excitedly, and then moved forward, and the large array of the Qi army was like a huge hedgehog, piercing the blood of the thief army.

Sun Xuanya's Gao Shida Righteous Army, one-third of which is in the city, two-thirds outside the city, and the joint camp is five miles, although it is not a rule, but the momentum is not small.

"Officers and soldiers battle formation...... It turned out to be a hard stubble! Sun Xuanya saw it at the head of the city, and after affirming it, he asked the military advisor: "Tong Junshi, didn't you say that in addition to Yang Yichen's men and horses in Hebei, there is no other officer and army capable of fighting?" ”

Tong nodded and said, "Not bad." Although the following group of officers and soldiers can fight, they are only a thousand people, and as far as our army is concerned, there is nothing to fear. The key is to find out whether there are any other officers and soldiers. ”

Sun Xuanya's eyes flickered, glowing with fierce light.

"Let Wang San Mazi take someone to investigate the number of officers and soldiers, and you go and invite Gao Shida to come over, as long as Yang Yichen is not here in person, the officers and soldiers below will eat it in one bite!"

"Yes, let's go." Wang Mazi went first.

The camp of thieves soon galloped out of the cavalry, whistling around the battlefield and running into the distance to investigate the military situation.

"Yes, the King of the East China Sea also has to exert his strength." Tong Jialiang replied.

Seeing this, Sun Xuanya nodded with satisfaction and let him go.

The battle began in the front, and the 3,000 main forces of the Qi army in the rear also began to pull out the camp and march.

In the army, Gao Si summoned Cui Luo and discussed with him the possible countermeasures of Sun Xuanya and Gao Shida's two thief armies.

Cui Luo thought for a while, pondered for a moment, and said: "These two thieves were defeated by Zhang Xutuo in Shandong, and not long after they wandered here, they claimed to be kings in the land, and they are obviously arrogant. If you find that you are attacked, you will not take us seriously, and you will go out of the city to face the battle. ”

"My lord, think about it, now that time is pressing, the situation is delicate, and our army's strategy of going south to seize Ji County is also on the line of success or failure, but it must not be accelerated. It is rumored that the Wagang army, under Li Mi's strategy, has broken through Luokoucang and is heading straight to Luoyang. We must not be left behind at this time. ”

Gao Si said disapprerovingly: "I know this, Li Mi has the support of the Zheng family in Xingyang, and the two counties of Xingyang and Henan surrendered without a fight. After conquering Luokoucang, he opened a warehouse to release grain, expanded the army by hundreds of thousands, and attacked the eastern capital. ”

"It's a pity that Yang Guang is still there, and the last wave of Dasui's counterattack is coming. Li Mi can't take the eastern capital Luoyang.

As for us, we can march now, directly break the camp of thieves, kill the evil leaders among them, and co-opt them. The arrow is ready to be struck, and it has to be sent, accelerate forward! ”

Cui Luo nodded and agreed: "What the lord said is that this battle will be won!" ”

At this moment, a guard hurried over, saluted and said: "My lord, the vanguard General Liu has come to report that the thief army's scouting horse has arrived, and he has led his troops to resist the enemy." ”

Gao Si was immediately overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Yes, the fish has been hooked." You go back and tell Liu Xianfeng that you don't have to kill them all, and put a few back, so that the thief army can have the courage to fight. ”

"Yes!" The guards struck their horses again.

At the head of Tangyin City, Wang Mazi returned from being injured by an arrow, snorted painfully, pulled out the arrow from Langzhong, and gasped: "King, there are four or five thousand people in the official army, but it is not Yang Yichen's team. Beat his grandma! ”

Gao Shida, the king of the East China Sea, also arrived, and after hearing this, he said loudly: "Brother Sun, except for Yang Yichen and Zhang Xutuo in the official army, who have we been afraid of?" Let's fight! ”

At this moment, the group of thieves was furious, Sun Xuanya's mind moved, summoned his relatives, summoned the big and small leaders, prepared to fight, and laughed and said: "Okay! Today, let's eat this bold army and see who dares to provoke us! ”

With the raising of the two banners of Sun Xuanya, the king of Qi, and Gao Shida, the king of the East China Sea, the leaders of the thieves scolded or howled angrily, and the 50,000 righteous thieves swept forward like locusts.

The desolate trumpets soon sounded, and the corresponding armies of the two sides began to fight.

Jin Ge Iron Horse, Soldier Fight.

In an instant, between heaven and earth, the murderous aura was full. The infantry of the Qi army wore armor to fight, forming a circular array formation, with a large shield and spear on the outside, and a salvo of arrows with a bow inside, and dense arrows flew out with a roar, like a torrential rain, enveloping the righteous thieves.

Sun and Gao also used their colors to throw spears and battle axes at the same time, and there were soldiers who fell to the ground screaming, and horses tumbling in mourning.

Blood stained the earth, and corpses accumulated.

"Report to the lord, there are tens of thousands of thieves killed on the front, and there are about 20,000 thieves in the southeast, look at the banner, the right leader's surname is Sun, Gao ......, it must be the head of the thief."

When Gao Si heard such a report, the soldiers all over the mountains and fields had already engaged in a full-scale battle.

"Fifty thousand thieves ......" Gao Si's first thought was that the thief army finally went out, and this judgment naturally came from the number of thieves, and it was more in line with the judgment of the guards.

"Resist, resist, to block the thief's edge!" Gao Si ordered loudly, and he couldn't help but mobilize his troops and horses while raising his sword.

He Huailiang and Liu Zhuang each shouted, fighting on the one hand, and supporting the panicked area on the other.

"Our army has arrived, kill!" At the forefront of the Qi army, Yang Jishan wielded his double knives and slashed bravely.

Li Junxian and Cheng Yanjin also attacked separately, echoing Yang Jishan to form a triangular formation, firmly blocking the siege of the thief army.

At this time, Wei Chigong had already led two thousand elite horsemen to less than twenty miles away from the warring parties. Looking down from the sky, with the appearance of the cavalry in the rear of the thief army, a flanking attack has been formed.

The first wave of the thief army's offensive retreated slightly, and Gao Si immediately ordered the Chinese army to light the wolf smoke and notify the cavalry to attack as agreed in advance.

Wei Chigong raised his iron whip violently and shouted: "Attack!" ”

The horn sounded, and the two thousand iron horsemen were divided into four teams, Chang He, Peng Shishi, and Hu Sizheng each led a team, and the iron horsemen lined up in a conical formation, and under the banner, Peng Shi took the lead in urging the war horses and slowly accelerated forward.

The cyan cloak gradually spread out with the gallop of the army, like a cyan python, with its teeth and claws erected on the ground for more than ten miles behind the thief army, showing a hideous edge.

The horses' hooves thundered, the ground shook incessantly, and the sound of the wilderness made the thieves soon notice something strange behind them......

There was no pause in the attack, and the Iron Cavalry soon came to the rear of the thief army.

Wei Chi Gong raised his thunder whip high, and while urging the war horse, in the sound of the earth-shaking horses' hooves, he shouted: "Kill!" ”

With each whip, the head of a thief shattered, and his followers followed him closely, their sabres skimming over their heads and shouting in unison, "Kill, kill...... Kill! ”

Countless thieves fell to the ground with their heads under the impact of the iron horses, or were knocked down and trampled to death. The defense line of the thieves is like a cotton cloth, which is easily torn apart by a saber.

Iron cavalry raided, the fierce general opened the way, like a bamboo, almost instantly, rows of thieves were like swimming fish by the front and back two large nets, the rest of the fate can only be surrender or death.

The land where two thousand iron horsemen slashed through was a mess, and the blood was raining down, drawing the hellish scene of his father Shura on the battlefield.

"Attack!" Gao Si ordered a counterattack on the whole line, and the three thousand foot soldiers in front of him changed their formations, like a snake in the mountains, and swept towards the thief army domineeringly.

The sound of swords and shields rumbled, arrows crossed the air, bloody breath filled the air, and white bones were like mountains.

The Qi army cast a net like Zhang Mitian, killing or capturing tens of thousands of thieves and annihilating them in one fell swoop.

Sun Xuanya and Gao Shida want to cry without tears, where did the officers and soldiers come out?

Failed fiascos again, each had to flee with their horses, and the cronies could bring out one by one.

Unbeknownst to them, in the panicked retreat procession, someone had already stared at their heads.

Eastern capital, Luoyang City, Qianyang main hall.

Yang Guang, the emperor of the Great Sui, had to go to court again and convene all the ministers to discuss the enemy's situation.

"Your Majesty, the foreign marquis has already found out. It was the Zheng family of Xingyang who voted for Li Mi, and the general of Luokou Cang was persuaded by Zheng Shanguo, the secretary of Dali Temple. More than 20 cities in Xingyang County and Henan County lowered Li Mi with metal. The thief army is powerful, although it is still helpless to the eastern capital for a while, but it is necessary to transfer troops as soon as possible to quell the rebellion, please ask Your Majesty to adjudicate. Pei Ju took out a piece of music and presented it, and said.

Yang Guang saw it, stood up from the dragon chair, pointed at the loyal ministers of the hall, and roared: "Traitor, traitor, damn it!" ”

Li Mi did not deserve the wrath of the Son of Heaven, and Yang Guang was out of shape because the Kwantung Shi clan began to abandon the Sui and Yang royal families and instead supported Li Mi.

The three major forces in the world, in addition to the imperial family, the Guanlongmen valve in Guanzhong, the Kwantung Shi clan in Shandong, and the Jiangzuohao clan in Jiangnan dominate the changes in the court pattern.

The Guanlongmen valve has been centrifuged, the Kwantung clan has also abandoned halfway, and Yang Guang, the emperor of the Great Sui, is now a two-sided enemy, and finally feels the heavy pressure.

"Jiangdu, Jiangdu, Jiangdu!" A place name flashed in Yang Guang's mind in an instant, that was the place where he was revived, and where was the foundation of his reorganization of rivers and mountains.

Luoyang is no longer safe!

"Spread the decree, transfer the county to guard Zhang Xutuo to the east into Henan to quell the rebellion, let him be the ambassador of the twelve provinces of Henan, recruit soldiers and horses, control the locality, and have the right to cut first and then play!"

"Edict, on behalf of Wang You, stay in Daxing, rebuild the capital of Guanzhong, control the place, Zuo Yiwei General Yin Shishi, Jingzhao County Cheng Guyi assisted."

"Edict, Yue Wang Jiong, stay in the Eastern Capital, preside over the extermination of thieves, supervision officials, Taifu Yuanwendu, and Lu Chu, the right Shangshu."

"I want to be fortunate in Jiangdu, Yu Shiji and Pei Ju accompany me, come to protect the children with the forbidden army to escort them, hundreds of officials accompany them, the queen is in charge of the harem, and set off in ten days, if there is no other major event, retreat from the dynasty!"

The Son of Heaven suddenly regained his wisdom, killed the case, and issued three holy decrees in a row.

At this time, there was an uproar in the court, but no one dared to object.

The chamberlain carefully took out the Yuxi for the Son of Heaven to pay for the holy decree.

The jade seal of the country is four inches in circumference, and the five dragons are handed over to New York, and the front is engraved with the eight seal characters of "ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang".

Yang Guang picked it up lightly and snapped it three times in a row, representing the holy will, and it took effect immediately.
