Volume 1: The Boy's Walk Chapter 23: Rising Again

Before the holy decree was issued, three copies of the report flew into the Qianyang Hall of Ziwei Palace.

The dry heaven is also, the yang symbolizes the Taiyi god, so the Qianyang Palace is the main hall used by the Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty to deal with the government.

The battle report was sent urgently for 800 miles: from the front-line Tianbao general Yuwen Chengdu, the supervising army Pei Ju and the Chu State Duke Yang Su.

Rewind the clock to half a month ago.

In the camp of the Sui army outside Jinyang City, Yuwen Chengdu took over the handsome seal, immediately beat the drum and gathered the generals, and ordered: "Attack!" ”

The army of ants climbed the wall to attack the city, thinking that they could go down in one go, but they were killed and injured heavily, and they did not resist for five consecutive days.

Jinyang is a strong city in the world, and the morale of the Sui army has declined because of the change of commanders, and it is difficult to attack the city urgently.

Yuwen Chengdu was in charge of the army for the first time, and it was inevitable that he was a little impetuous, so he attacked with arrows and arrows, and said angrily: "Order the three armies, and do not seal the sword for seven days after breaking the city!" ”

Under the morale of the Sui army, they once attacked the city, but unfortunately the defenders in the city learned that the imperial army was going to slaughter the city, so they fought back desperately.

Yuwen Chengdu didn't know that the head coach of the Jinyang garrison had been replaced.

Xiao Moke was killed, and Yang Liang, the king of Han, had to recruit his advisers to find the generals who could save the turmoil.

Since the Han King Yang Liang rebelled, he was defeated one after another, and almost every family in Jinyang City wore filial piety, and formed a blood feud with the imperial court. Bingzhou has always been a border military town, and the people have always been fierce and talented. Yang Liang asked, so everyone pushed Wang Gong as a general, and said: If the prince doesn't come out, what are the 800,000 people in Nai Jinyang?

Wang Fei Taiyuan Wang side branch, the son of the famous general Wang Seng of the Southern Liang Dynasty. is a good ranger, and he only woke up to study at the age of twenty, and he was both civil and military. His father, Wang Shengfen, fought with Emperor Wu Chen, and was defeated and killed in one move. Emperor Chen Wu collected and surrendered the royal army, and when he saw that Wang was defeated and not discouraged, he was quite talented in governing the army, and praised and said: "There are generals here." He married his eldest daughter, Lord Chen Rong, to him.

It is a pity that Emperor Chen Wu died of illness two years later, and Wang Yan was unlucky and had no chance to take charge of the army. and Chen Xuan, followed the princess Chen Rong to Sui, and it was another thirty years.

Yang Liang raised troops and took it as a way to join the army, but he didn't use it and didn't listen.

Thirty years of sharpening the sword, how many times have the leaves been newly drawn? Those golden years are buried in the years. Wang Jun was disheartened, and after sending a pair of sons and daughters Wang Da and Wang Ying out of the city, he ignored the world and waited for the day of death.

However, Chen Rong, the eldest princess of Nanchen in the past, heard that the king of Han worshiped the general, and took the initiative to advise: "In the past, my father and emperor were in Japan, and they still called their husbands generals. However, God does not give up. When the (Chen) kingdom died, the concubine was lowered once. There will never be a second fall today. Otherwise, under the nine springs, what face will you have to see your father? Tears rained down.

Wang Jun then decided to lead his troops to fight, but said to the king of Han: The generals are not controlled by the sky, the earth by the bottom, and the people by the middle. If you let me be your commander, the king must also obey my commands.

Yang Liang, the king of Han, said again and again in order to survive: "Everything is only obeyed by the general's orders." ”

Wang Junai's first military order was issued: "Recruit 20,000 men of 50 years of age and healthy women (20 to 40 years old) from the city to defend the wall." "But secretly withdrew 5,000 strong soldiers in batches.

The order is out, and the whole city is in an uproar!

Wang Fei said angrily: "The husband is a general, and he doesn't care about his family. I'm still like this, so what are you waiting for? The first one sent his wife to the city tower, and then someone put the princess of Han on the city. Hundreds of swords and axes were set up to supervise the formation, and they were specially designed to kill those who retreated.

There was no one in the city who dared to stand in the way.

"Damn, keep the siege." Yuwen Chengdu roared and gave the military order again.

Boom! Boom! Boom! When the city was attacked again, the rebels at the head of the city of the Sui military law even sent out the old, weak, women and children, thinking that the city was about to be broken, and they besieged it on all sides.

Wang Yan had already expected it, and took 2,000 guards to fight fires everywhere.

Under the strict military law, they were forced to defend for another three days, until more than 20,000 women and children were almost killed and wounded. Princess Han was killed in battle, and Wang Jun's wife was wounded.

On the third day, when the city was about to be broken, Wang Yong's second plan was used.

Yang Liang, the king of Han, took off his upper body royal clothes, walked up to the city with a bundle of thorns on his back, and then cried and said: "I have often accompanied my father and emperor since I was a child, because people are pure and filial piety and never make mistakes, so I was sent by the first emperor to guard Jinyang." You soldiers are loyal to the country, and you came to arrest me on the orders of the faint king, and this king is not strange in his eyes. Now, the court favors Yuchen Yuwenshu and Yang Su, and the Son of Heaven is suspicious of his own brothers, how innocent I am to be killed! ”

The Sui army under the city was all the Sui army created by Emperor Yang Kai in 30 years of prosperity, and they were all suspicious when they were cried by the King of Han.

Wang Fei counterattacked at the head of the city, the Sui army collapsed without a fight, and Yuwen Chengdu still couldn't reprimand him even after killing several generals.

That night, Wang Fei sacrificed the last killer weapon: the Arc Light Dunjia Array. The arc light is as swift as the wind, and its attack is like a blazing fire. Dunjia is a gossip array, which can use the power of heaven and earth to divide the enemy army with the power of wind and clouds. Sixty years ago, Emperor Wu Chen created these two major military formations, which were invincible for an era. If it weren't for the day and the year, it would not be known who the country belonged to.

Wang Jun personally led 5,000 sharp soldiers to take the opportunity to go out of the city and attack at night. The dead burst into formation, the wind and fire helped the momentum, and the killing sound shook the sky!

In this battle, the 100,000-strong army of the imperial court collapsed, and countless surrenderers surrendered.

Yuwen Chengdu relied on his bravery, and frantically danced phoenix wings and gilded boring to fight his way out of the encirclement. However, there were only a few thousand remnants left in the army, so they had no choice but to send letters to the DPRK and China overnight to ask for reinforcements.

After Pei Ju was escorted by Pei Yuanqing and escaped in a panic, he even wrote and said: "The battle to quell the chaos must be Yang (Su) Gong." ”

Yang Su, the new king of Yue, had already expected it, and under the pretext of recuperation, he retreated to the Yellow River crossing a few days in advance. After collecting the defeated army, he claimed that the thieves could not be broken unless the 30,000 Xiaoguo forbidden army was destroyed. More excessively, it was proposed that Gao Si (Si) should be the main general to lead the troops to converge.

Therefore, the ministers of the Yuwen clan and the Yang Su faction in the DPRK were inseparable, and the son of heaven Yang Guangsheng was angry and simply let Yuwen Chengji and Gao Si fight in the ring half a month later to win the handsome. As for the front-line battle situation, let Yang Su summon Jingzhao, Feng Yi, Fufeng, and Andingsi county government soldiers to temporarily take the defensive.

In Luoyang City, Li Baiyao came forward to handle the handover of Qianniu on April 9.

On the tenth day of April, Gao Si began to train his troops.

Unlike others, his first step was to let the sixty Qianniuwei under his command learn to stand in line, turn left and right, and walk in and run together, which is the content of modern military training. Then came the ancient identification of flags and drums.

Time passed quickly, and after more than ten days, the team of sixty people finally trained neatly.

"It doesn't matter what kind of sharp warrior and tiger soldier you are, if you disobey the order, you will be given thirty lashes for the first time and beheaded for the second time!" This one was dressed in leather armor and roared in the wind.

With a wave of his hand, he saw three violators of military law, who were pressed out of the team, the leader was an acquaintance, Fei Qingnu's face was still unruly with blue spots on his face, and the other two were encouraged sergeants to shout for: "Gao Taibao, spare me and wait, don't dare anymore." ”

One of them was also from a noble background.

Faced with this scene, Gao Si was unwavering: "Whip forty!" I saw that the three of them were violently pressed against the pillar, and Gao Kaidao picked up the torture whip, and in a flash of black light, the leather whip fell, and the three of them each snorted bitterly.

In the face of this execution, no one in the entire battalion of 60 people dared to be careless.

"Pull it down, hang it up and show it to the public, and the rest of the people will continue to train!" Gao Si's gaze swept over everyone and gave a cold order.

At this time, he already knew the cause and effect, and he had to defeat Yuwen Chengji, and he lived in the barracks day and night, just to avoid the other party's backstrokes.

Gao Si was strict with military law, and if a deserter was caught, he would be beheaded, and with Shi Danai, Gao Kaidao, Wang Ying and the old man Zhang Huoling, a swordsman from Yuejia, as the core, he took ten people each, and he managed twenty people to further strengthen discipline.

It is not enough to have a punishment, but to be gracious. He led by example, and every time he did not stop training, he ate and lived like ordinary soldiers, marched in armor and guns, and retreated when he heard the golden drum. He also asked Li Baiyao to help, spent a lot of money, bought meat and food, and let the soldiers eat with an open stomach.

In order to boost morale, they even composed and sang military songs, and promoted and rewarded those who were well trained, promising to reward the enemy for killing the enemy in the future. The military song is called Song Sui Yin:

"The emperor founded the country, and there is Sui in Yusi! Mountains vertical and horizontal flags, rivers stretch horizontally; Fought 3,000 miles away and found 10,000 households. Riding horses to raise the majesty of our army, singing triumphant songs!

Such a combination of soft and hard means finally completely suppressed the resentment of the soldiers.

At the end of April, at the end of the training, the officers and men of the 1st Battalion of Qianniu Guards were on the surface solemn, and apart from singing military songs, there was no other voice in the formation, and they all became strong and strong, and the military discipline of obeying orders was initially implemented.

At this time, the team began the final formation drill. At this point, Gao Si has mastered the tricks of military training.

In the training of soldiers in the army, the training methods and equipment are different for different purposes, and the tactics of war are cloudy', that is, the sword and shield soldiers are the most difficult to train, followed by the tomahawk heavy infantry, and the pikemen are again, and the marksmanship is the easiest to train.

The cost is low, it can be used when learned, and the effect is fast, which is suitable for ordinary soldiers. There are generals and generals, and there is also the saying that the three potentials of the barrage are taken, and the soldiers only need one stab with the gun.

Shi Wansui once taught the soldiers to practice guns, and the guns were very long, and there were false and real. Advance its sharpness, retreat its speed, its potential is dangerous, its knots are short, immobile like a mountain, moving like thunder.

The most brilliant trick is to poke as soon as you succeed, and take someone's life instantly when you are facing the enemy. Battlefield marksmanship pays attention to life and death fighting, and one blow is deadly. When Gai is facing the enemy, most people will be flustered, and the skills they usually practice cannot be played out of ten, and only the key is to stab with a gun.

In fact, these are not exclusive secret legends, they have long been circulated in the army, but those who can learn are only long live history.

After Gao Si discussed with Shi Danai, it was simplified into three steps - array, raise the gun, and stab!

Shi Danai learned from his family, listened to the general's request, understood it, and within a few days, he came up with a set of standard gun training methods with shields.

"Shield, stab!"

"Kill!" "Attack, attack!"

The military order was issued, and the formation was like a wall during the exercise.

In the blink of an eye, it was the afternoon of the last day. Hundred medicines are about to be performed, and some things need to be communicated, so I came to the barracks to observe. After being informed of the permission, he entered the camp and was greatly satisfied after reading it.

I saw six battalion soldiers, all with shields and short spears.

"Shield, stab!"

"Kill! Advance! "I saw a forest of big shields and short spears, and under the order, they could all move in a uniform manner, advance and retreat in an orderly manner, and the murderous aura was surging, and they had the atmosphere of a middle-sized elite soldier.

Seeing this situation, Li Baiyao, who was originally a little worried, was greatly relieved, and after watching the drill, he praised: "Chu Guogong is really good at recognizing people. "Then I entered the camp of the high horse.

Before he entered, he immediately said with a long greeting: "Brother Chongde is saying that he is practicing this strong soldier today, and he is rich and noble." ”

"These are just kinds of goods, if they can go through the baptism of the war, then they can be called a strong army." Gao Si said with a smile.

"What's the movement of the Yuwen family?" Li Baiyao smiled and handed over a letter.

Gao Si looked at it, his eyes couldn't help shrinking, and then he laughed and said, "It's really a strong opponent." ”
