Volume 3: Building the Foundation Chapter 79: Decisive Victory
In the eleventh year of the Great Cause, south of Wu'an County, Handan City.
On July 13, it rained heavily and the fighting that lasted for eight days gradually stopped.
The rain was ferocious, pouring and raging over several counties in the Northlands, and a gloomy color enveloped the entire battlefield.
It rained so heavily for two days and two nights.
The rain was very heavy, and there were already many people in the potholes on the ground, and when they stepped on it, muddy water and blood splashed everywhere.
Handan City is surrounded by loess, which is greatly affected by it.
Only at this time, the fierce battlefield became sparsely populated, and the tragic scenes of the past had to be suspended on this rainy day.
At the entrance of the brick and stone paved city head, the rain washes away the blood, exuding the vicissitudes of life in this golden autumn season.
Wang Boren supported the ground with a knife and leaned on the city gate tower, like a demon crawling out of hell, and the murderous aura was even more amazing.
Rainy weather is not conducive to fighting, except as a last resort, ordinary generals and even those soldiers are reluctant to fight in the rain.
As a result, inside and outside the city, only a few scouts occasionally galloped by, and there were few fights.
It was the patrol sentry, who caught up with the two days of investigation, and was also full of complaints.
Wang Boren is still so tired of doing it himself, and the other Sui officers and soldiers are afraid that they are all the same.
At this time, ten miles away from Handan City, in a large camp of the Sui army, the soldiers were swaying, and the murderous spirit was condensed in the rain.
The rain hit the gun, fell into the dust, and at the same time, it startled the birds.
In the camp, the flag of the Su character flashed, and before the military formation, a plain white color could be seen in the mobilization. Compared with usual, it added three points of sadness and filial piety.
Su Lie put on his armor and got on his horse, walked back and forth a few times in front of the army, his voice was a little angry, and he said coldly: "Wei Dao'er raised troops to loot the place, and my father was killed transporting grain. Your family is also under the ravages of thieves, everyone, follow me to kill and go back to take revenge! ”
"Revenge! Avenge! Avenge! Xiang Yong, who came from Su Yong's subordinates, echoed one after another.
A day ago, Su Lie learned from the defeated soldiers who fled back that his father Su Yong was ambushed and killed by Wei Dao'er on the way to transport grain, so he moved his mind to take revenge.
You must know that the revenge of killing your father is not shared!
After hearing the news, Su Lie immediately reorganized his troops and horses, and wanted to return to the north.
Moreover, Yang Yuanlin used his soldiers ruthlessly, and regarded the people as grass mustard, which was really not the right temper for Su Lie.
So, he immediately sent a samurai to report the news, and the army was ready to go.
If Wei Dao'er rebelled in the rear, it was also a great help to Yang Yichen's father and son.
In this situation, Yang Yuanlin's brows tightened, but he did not stop it, and gave Su Lie 1,300 men and horses to return to the army to quell the rebellion and protect the grain road.
On the one hand, I hope that Su Dingfang's return to the division this time can succeed in one fell swoop, solve the hidden dangers of Wei Daoer in the rear, and stabilize the morale of the army.
On the other hand, Yang Yuanlin is confident in breaking the city of Handan.
In these few days of fighting, he didn't feel anything at first, but in the last two days, the Sui soldiers attacked the city many times, a sign that the city was about to be broken, and he felt that the traitor was nothing more than that.
"The last general will leave!" Su Dingfang gave a military salute and set off with his troops.
Woo woo, the horn sounded the mobilization of the soldiers and horses of the Sui army, and at this time, it also woke up the Qi army at the head of the city.
I saw the head of the city, Gao Si put on armor and umbrella, and hurried to the city gate tower.
Seeing Gao Si come out, Wang Boren hurriedly struggled forward and said: "Lord, the Sui army outside the city is mobilized, but there is no siege, which is very peculiar. However, the city will never be lost! ”
"Well, I'll take a look at the movements of the officers and soldiers." With a gentle smile on his face, Gao Si looked into the distance and said warmly
"Lord, there are only five hundred of the three thousand sons and daughters guarding the city, and they can guard it for one more day at most."
"Yes, I already know." Gao Si nodded and said.
After staring for a moment, he suddenly slapped the city wall with his hand and shouted, "Sure enough, something has changed." ”
Gao Si raised his head with some feeling, looked at the changes in Sui Jun's cloud qi, and said excitedly: "Someone will go to find out the changes, and prepare for a decisive battle in advance."
Not long after, on a small road outside the city, Han Shi'e was speeding in the rain, in order to avoid being discovered, he did not ride a horse, his two legs, as if he had inexhaustible strength, ran vigorously and vigorously, but his body was stained with muddy water.
After walking for a while, Fang stopped, suddenly moved his ears, and then moved very quickly to hide in the grass next to him.
A detachment of cavalry, then passing by, galloped north.
After this group of cavalry passed, Han Shi'e Fang jumped out of the grass, looked around at the left and right, and ran to a small road next to him, sneaking towards the city.
When the rain subsides, the day of the decisive battle will come.
In the middle of the night, Han Shi'e finally returned to Handan City.
"I've seen the lord." When I arrived in the lobby, I wanted to step forward and give Gao Si a salute.
"You've worked hard. Is there any change in the Sui army?" Gao Si asked someone to bring him a glass of hot wine.
When the plan was drawn up, Gao Si once said that there was a change in the Sui army, but Han Shi'e did not take it seriously, and he infiltrated the enemy camp in fact, in fact, to find out the military situation, and did not want to really gain anything.
Wei Dao'er raised righteousness in the rear, attacked the city all the way, and caused Su Yong to die tragically, which caused Su Dingfang to return to the division to take revenge, which weakened the strength of the official army.
Hearing Han Shi'e's words, Gao Si was excited, but on his face, he was still happy and angry, and asked calmly: "Is this serious?" ”
Han Shi'e nodded, and said with a little excitement: "Exactly, due to the continuous battle, the Sui soldiers also suffered a lot of casualties. The security in the official barracks was not very strict, and it was raining, so I took the opportunity to sneak in and find out the reason for the transfer of officers and soldiers.
Su Dingfang left, and I followed him for a while before coming back, and there was no delay on the way. Lord, the date of the decisive battle has arrived......" Speaking of this, he has a determined face.
"Very well, I order, tomorrow to fight. It's just that this time we have to break the enemy and not kill! Gao Si was very happy, but he was willing to kill too many people in his heart.
It is expected that the technique of qi will be the foundation, and there are reports to corroborate it, he is full of confidence at this moment, although many heroes in the world are born, but mortals can also be refined into heroes.
That night, the heavy rain stopped.
When the moon is in the sky, like a wheel hanging. The murderous atmosphere is pervasive, and the teams are lined up one after another, ready to go.
The next day, the rising sun pierced the sky, and the sky was clear and the blue clouds were beautiful because the rain had stopped.
Gao Si poured out of the nest, and even Wang Boren, who was tired, changed his horse.
In the camp of the Sui army, Yang Yuanlin was studying the military situation, and suddenly heard the sound of fast horses galloping outside, and soon some cronies broke into the account.
Because of its strict management, trespassers died. This trespass was heard very clearly in the early morning.
Yang Yuanlin changed color slightly, called the guards, and said: "At this time, someone is in a hurry, there must be an urgent military situation, let him in." ”
"Yes." The guards are commanded.
After a while, the person who broke into the tent came to the big tent of the Chinese army.
The person who came was his close general, Qi Weiyuan, who seemed to be walking very quickly this time, still out of breath.
At this moment, Yang Yuanlin cleared the face of the person who came, left the map, and said in the last issue: "Something big has happened, look at your panic, for the way of the general, you want Mount Tai to collapse in front and the color will not change, let's talk about it." ”
"The thieves are coming!" Qi Weiyuan didn't know why, he seemed to think of something, and shouted: "Listen, it was a large number of thieves who killed it, and it was a green and lush area, not to mention that there were more than 10,000 friends." ”
Yang Yuanlin chuckled: "Brother Weiyuan, what are you kidding, it is obvious that the thieves have suffered all the casualties, how can there be such a crowd." ”
"It's true." Qi Weiyuan paused and shouted, quickly reorganize his troops to meet the enemy.
Yang Yuanlin's smile sank, but his mind flew to the person who inquired about the military situation, and the former army commander Li Tieliang was only afraid that he would have colluded with the thief.
At this time, the sky is just dawning.
Outside, another man broke into the tent.
This person is dressed in leather armor, with a rough face and a raging atmosphere, and he is the son of Ling Huzhong, the general of the Yang family, Ling Hujian.
"Young master, the left battalion has already engaged the thieves. My father asked me to inform the military situation, the thieves are huge, please make a decision quickly! ”
"Follow me!" Yang Yuanlin drew his sword and slashed over the table, and shouted: "The whole army is attacking, I don't believe it, this few thieves can defeat our upright army!" ”
"Kill! Kill it! Hugh left Yang Yuanlin! ”
Gao Si urged the army to rush directly to the camp of the Sui army, forming a military formation, like fish scales layered on top of each other, and the attack never stopped.
Buzzing, whistling arrows skimmed through the sky, followed by light cavalry like iron streams, constantly killing back and forth, breaking up the Sui army's formation.
The rebel soldiers in the back, swords and shields are intertwined, spears are assaulted, and with a "boom", they have poured in, like a mountain torrent bursting the embankment, unstoppable.
A tragic murderous aura shrouded the sky above the Sui army camp within a radius of several miles.
Even if the dawn raided, the stubborn resistance of the Sui army camp was still there, and some veterans of the official army launched a fierce counterattack.
But at this time, the three generals Wei Chigong, Liu Zhuang and Wang Boren joined forces, took 800 elite cavalry, and went straight to the central army of the official army.
After a brutal fight, about 100 riders fled in embarrassment.
"It's Yang Yuanlin's personal guard battalion!"
Wang Boren shouted: "Sons, Yang Yuanlin has escaped, chase me!" ”
This personal guard battalion has always been the descendant of the leading generals, and the elite are good at fighting, and once this army escapes, the rest are not afraid.
Gao Si looked around, in fact, there were still scattered and total resistance in all departments of the official army.
Although it was chaotic at this time, the overall situation of victory had been decided, and he couldn't help but give an order at the moment, saying: "The official army is defeated - those who surrender will not be killed!" ”
"Those who descend will not be killed!" "Those who descend will not be killed!" "Those who descend will not be killed!"
Suddenly, a shout sounded, and the Qi soldiers continued to chase and slash the Sui soldiers who were still resisting, and the momentum was like a rainbow.
Let the guards continue to shout: "Yang Yuanlin has escaped, Yang Yuanlin has escaped!" ”
Both soft and hard, two-pronged. The sound of killing died down, and those who resisted either surrendered or were killed finally disappeared and exhausted.
"Collect weapons, rescue the wounded, bury the bodies. Peng Shishi, take my guards to patrol, and you must not commit suicide prisoners! ”
On the battlefield, there was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and countless hideous deaths appeared.
Gao Si wanted to reduce the killing, so he immediately issued an order, and said: "Immediately send someone back to report the victory, saying that the official army has been broken 8,000 people, and let Li Baiyao prepare reward materials." ”
"Yes!" Peng Shishi went happily.
After several days of fighting, the 20,000-strong army had suffered nearly 6,000 casualties, and the crisis was lurking, but fortunately the battle was victorious.
Gao Si made this blow, and he was sure of victory, but he didn't expect the victory to come so easily.
At this time, recalling the process of the battle, it can be said that 'the time comes to heaven and earth to help the tribulation', and my heart is very happy.
Concentrating on the investigation, I saw the clouds on the top tumbling, with this big victory, the appearance of the carp spitting out the book has condensed the seven-grade cyan fortune, and when the edict is full, you can canonize the generals and get the qi supplement.
Thinking of this, I can't help but have a deeper understanding of the upright teacher who is here.
"Congratulations to the lord, after this battle, Xiangzhou will definitely be able to go down without a fight." Cui Luo looked at the captured Yangzi banner, laughed heartily, and said hello to Gao Si.
"Lord, lord, I caught a Sui general, saying that I had an old relationship with joining the army." Mai Ji rushed over and shouted from afar.
After a while, he instructed two sergeants to escort a prisoner to Gao Si.
"Brother Tieliang? Quickly untie it. When Cui Luo recognized the person in front of him, he was shocked.
