The Sui army came faster and more fiercely than expected.

At dawn, after receiving an urgent report from scouts several miles away from the camp, Gao Si and his guards climbed the high platform and saw the beacon smoke covering the sky on the western plain.

At its root, Handan City is located at the junction of mountains and rivers and plains, the terrain is steep but rich in products, as early as the Warring States period was the capital of Zhao State, even if it declined, there are still many wars broke out here. Gao Si was based in Yecheng before, although it was to occupy the northern location, but it does not mean that Hebei is not important.

Therefore, at this time, the foundation was slightly stable, and the troops marched north, and all they saw along the way was barren and uninhabited for hundreds of miles.

Now, the great battle that decided the ownership of the northern land came suddenly, and Yang Yichen commanded the iron cavalry to kill in the starry night.

Everyone stood on the high platform, only to see that under the cover of the morning sun, on the overgrown ground, the vast army wearing iron armor and holding the battle flag of the Sui army roared, as if thousands of wild wolves were galloping, staring at their prey and waiting to be killed. And in the center of the wolf pack, the wolf king scattered by eight thousand horsemen is Yang Yichen - even though he is already old, his fierce spirit is even worse.

In an instant, the yellow flag, the iron armor, the barren land, the gorgeous and colorful out, the hastily erected camp, the Sui dragon flag with teeth and claws, accompanied by the wet morning breeze, and the shining sword light painted an unforgettable shocking picture.

In this way, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even Gao Si, Cui Luo, Wei Chigong, He Huailiang, Liu Zhuang, Chang He and Yang Gongqing and other core figures in the army were shaken.

However, it can also be seen that this team has a strong army.

Although the 20,000 soldiers in the battalion have not been in the army for a long time, they are after all trained according to the government soldiers, even if some people are in a trance, some people are sweaty in the palms of their weapons, and even two forces of battle, but under the leadership of officers at all levels, they can still stabilize their positions. In addition to the previous glorious victories of 300 to 50,000, most of them still mustered up the courage to fight.

In almost no particular order, Wei Chigong and other generals were preparing for battle - they first carefully observed the enemy, and then quickly passed down the military order, waved the flag, and the whole army jumped to try.

However, the most calm and composing were the general Gao Si of Zhengbei, and the samurai and generals around him. His complexion remained unchanged and towering like a mountain. The latter, including scribes such as Trillio, were not the least afraid.

The only one who seemed uneasy was Xu Jingzong, the son of the former official eunuch had never experienced a battle after all, and couldn't help but explore, "The lord, Cui Junshi, and General He, the Sui army is powerful...... Do you think that the defenders of Ruoye City can follow up in time? Xu Jingzong gripped the hilt of the sword fiercely, with three points of trepidation, and reprimanded: "If it is a front and back attack, you will definitely be able to destroy Yang Yichen's old thief in one fell swoop!" ”

Everyone was a little stunned, because the defenders of Yecheng were originally in a besieged situation, so it was naturally impossible to come here, but when they were asked, Cui Luo, the division of the army, and He Huailiang, the general, all nodded in agreement and expressed their approval.

"There's no need to argue." Gao Si raised his hand to stop the speculation of his subordinates, and his tone was inexplicably complacent, "Han, the two generals will stick to the city, so they are naturally prepared, and this time they will break the Sui army, and everyone will meet in Handan City." ”

However, this apparently hidden response has further aroused speculation among others.

"Dare to ask the lord", Yang Gongqing, the newly appointed general on the side, couldn't help but ask, "General Han of the two generals you mentioned is a descendant of Han Yanluo?" ”

Han Yama is not only Han captured the tiger, the Great Sui was on the national pillar, and he was brave for a while, and he was also known as General Yama by the world.

"Exactly." The iron cavalry of the Sui army from afar outside the camp was getting closer and closer, and Gao Si didn't want to say more, but since the topic was opened, he couldn't help but talk a few more words. "Does the minister know General Han?"

"There will be a plan in the end." Yang Gongqing's momentum continued, "Since General Han is responsible for his family's martial arts, why don't you recruit him to come to the battle?" At present, the Sui army is galloping on iron horses, and it is with the help of the prestige and courage of the Yan Luo Banner, is the lord reluctant to take risks? ”

The flag, where the generations of generals have a descendant of the flag, the representative of the prestige and share, so there is this saying.

"General Yang, don't worry." Cui Luo explained with a smile, "We have more than one general flag, but also countless brave generals, the Yan Luo Banner is not there, and the Song Gong Banner is enough to break the enemy." At this time, although the Sui army took the lead, as long as we sent brave generals to lead the heavy cavalry to break through the formation, follow the example of the Three Kingdoms Ganning hundred cavalry robbery camp, curb the morale of the other party, and then push the camp out, and break the enemy with one blow. ”

Cui Luo took over the conversation, and the strategy I had agreed on in advance arranged the troops, which caused He Huailiang, Wei Chigong, Liu Zhuang and others to soar their fighting spirits.

After a while, Jia Yuandu, who has always been honest, told part of the truth and said: "Captain Gao Kaidao also led the army to arrive, and he asked me to tell me that with Dazhai wolf smoke as the number, he would send troops immediately." Moreover, the lord has already seen that this Sui army is strong on the outside, and it seems to be fierce but lacks stamina. We only need to survive a round of the enemy's charge, and when their morale is broken, we can win the battle. ”

"Really?" Xu Jingzong was still incredulous, "I think these Saiwaihu knights are high-spirited, and they are not ordinary horse battles and other rabble......

"Jingzong doesn't need to say any more." Gao Si, who had been staring at the air, finally made a decision, "Although the momentum of the Sui army is strong, it is a desperate bet, and in my opinion, it is just the end of a strong crossbow, and it is not enough. ”

Cui Luo's heart moved, and he immediately stepped forward and asked for his life: "I have already planned it, the enemy army is coming, please ask the lord to give the order to meet the battle." ”

Gao Si's gaze swept over the generals, and he said: "You see, there are seven or eight thousand horsemen in that generation, but they are divided into three teams, and they take turns to gallop, which is a typical style of cavalry outside the Saiwai. The key lies in breaking the formation and blocking the enemy in one go, because our army cannot form a formation. The key to breaking the game first is to take advantage of the enemy's unsuccessful charge, and lead the fine cavalry to destroy the enemy's sharp edge and stifle its galloping momentum. At that time, our whole army will hold on to the enemy, and when the reinforcements arrive, two flanking attacks will make it difficult for the Sui army to take care of both sides, and the whole army will collapse. ”

"Who's going to take the lead?" Gao Si asked with a smile, his strategy had already broken the way to win.

What are the advantages of the Sui army?

It lies in the raid of the iron cavalry, the momentum is brave, and you can advance or retreat!

At this time, the land of Hebei was full of bandits, attacking the city and plundering the land, and killing the people...... Hu Qi's misfortune was even worse, they robbed food, women, and tyrannical behavior, and even many wealthy families suffered heavy losses, so that Yang Yichen knew that the situation was unfavorable, and he still threw his troops to attack.

As for Dou Jiande's good reputation before, it was because of his relief of the displaced people and the food of some poor people, women and children, so he was able to stand in Hebei later.

Of course, none of this will happen anymore now, and Gao Si has taken his place. What needs to be done is to drive away the Hu Qi, restore order, and calm the people's minds. But then again, the current stake is to defeat Yang Yichen's abandoned army!

"The lord is honorable, Wei Chi respectfully invites the battle!" Wei Chi, who was as black as an iron tower, said proudly, "The Sui army is coming from afar, and I have to frustrate its spirit!" Who can beat me when I break the army and kill the generals? ”

Compared with you, of course, there are still brave generals. Gao Si complained in his heart, but remembered Qin Shubao and Gao Kaidao, and then led the selected iron cavalry to battle.

The other generals in the battalion, taking Yu Chigong's prestige, were not contested, and they all stood solemnly, waiting for the military orders below.

Then there are always people who send people to the head - the Qi army is still listening to the arrangement of Gao Si, and the more than 1,000 iron horsemen who rushed to the Sui army have already rushed to a place of 500 steps outside Dazhai.

Hu Qi, so brave and ruthless, the art of war is mostly learned from the wolf. This is not enough, when the first person relied on bravery, rode alone and then advanced two hundred steps, Zhang Gong took an arrow, and came to the banner of the Chinese army in the village.

It is necessary to know that the banner in the army, the majesty of the Chinese army on behalf of the representative, must not be damaged. This arrow was as fast as lightning, and it came straight to Shuaitai, as if it was a great provocation and demonstration.

Gao Si was unmoved, but the generals were already angry.

The gatekeeper Liu Zhuang listened to the wind and argued, took off the hard bow and pulled out an arrow, and bent the bow to intercept the arrow directly!

While! Arrows are like meteors, two by two, but the two sides are chess opponents, no matter how good they are.

"Tiger Rider!" Yu Chigong was already in armor and ready to go, he was dumbfounded, and the iron whip was raised, "Charge with me and break the enemy!" ”

"Break the enemy! Break the enemy! Break the enemy! ”

He Huailiang followed, and the banner of his father's 'He Invincible' was waving in the wind, the corners of his eyes were already moist, and the glory and blood feud of his father would eventually be won back on the battlefield!

Therefore, he was willing to be his deputy and vowed to fight Sui Jun to the death.

But a wave of unevenness rose again, and at this moment, Yang Gongqing also asked for battle: "I often hear that what the general is afraid of is that he has not met the master, but now he is fortunate to meet the lord, and he is willing to serve the death force, and please allow me to fight together." Although a certain courage is not as good as General Wei Chi, if you talk about courage, you will never lose in the next place! ”

The generals are vying to be the first to go into battle, and the mentality of the warriors is still relatively distinct.

"Lord!" Wei Chigong shouted in a loud voice, "The lord treats me as a national soldier, and I should be the vanguard of the three armies." I should be the first in this battle, so why should others rap! ”

Gao Si frowned, from a practical point of view, it is a good thing that the generals are brave. However, for the general of the expedition to the north and the commander of the first army, how can the enemy tolerate the generals under his command to quarrel again?

By this time, Gao Si had already decided to set up a formation first and suppressed Yang Gongqing's request for battle.

"My lord." Seeing that the lord's face was unswerving, Cui Luo suddenly spoke, and said lightly: "It's the right time to destroy the enemy." If you let Yang Gongqing also go to battle, you must kill the vanguard of the Sui army as soon as possible to strengthen the morale of our army! ”

Gao Si's heart moved, and he ordered: "That's the case, accurate!" Open the gate of the village and send troops to meet the battle! Yu Chigong, you take three hundred tigers and iron horsemen first, and I will answer in the village. Remember, don't go too far into the enemy! ”

Wei Chigong was overjoyed, and in the sound of harmony, he took the lead and roared out from the suddenly opened walled gate.

The vanguard of the Sui army was also a brave man, and instead of retreating, he beckoned a group of comrades, directly urging the horsepower, in an attempt to break the current camp.

Iron Rider Hedge.

Wei Chi Gong's black face was hideous, just patting the horse and galloping, and when he looked at his face, the iron whip swept across, and with a loud shout, between the lightning and flint, the head of a big man of the Sui army was shattered, causing him to fall off the horse.

The rider behind was also stunned when he saw it, so he wanted a spear to avenge his companions, but suddenly saw the iron whip in the air, and his mouth hurt, and then the whole person also fell off the horse.

Further back, there was the scimitar warrior, this person saw that Yu Chigong was so brave, almost instantly killed two people in a row, and unwillingly, he turned his horse and swung his sword to fight.

When he rushed in front of this person, he withdrew his steel whip, stretched out his right hand and grabbed the opponent's blade, pulled the opponent out of his horse, captured him alive and pressed it on the horse, and charged with the enemy general. The courage of the horseman, as for the Si?!

Both sides were dumbfounded. Even Gao Si is the same.

But it didn't stop there!

Wei Chigong rushed hundreds of steps further, and suddenly put this person on the ground again, his head fell into a peach blossom, and he raised the iron whip again, and shouted: "Break the formation!" ”

He did not stop, continued to whip and leap on the horse, and moved forward bravely. Suddenly, the forward of the Sui army was defeated and collapsed. In the place where the battlefield is fighting, a small blank space appears strangely.

The sky was brighter, and the momentum of the Sui army's iron cavalry charge was completely contained.

After Yang Yichen heard about it in the Chinese army, he still didn't believe it, but accelerated the killing.

"Lord, I'm back!" Wei Chigong, who returned to the camp, was stained with blood in iron armor, but he was not breathless and proud.

The morale of the battalion was greatly boosted.

Gao Si stepped forward, helped Wei Chi Gong up, looked back and laughed: "Everyone, General Wei Chi is brave and invincible, and the Sui army is powerless. Ordered the three armies, each guarding the camp, without three, Yang Yichen's old thief will be destroyed! ”

Under the rising sun, Gao Si patrolled the camp with his sword and ordered to prepare for war.

The smoke and dust on the horizon rose again, and Yang Yichen's army finally arrived, but the Qi army no longer had the fear it had before.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Yichen led Hu to ride into the fortress, Taizu was the general of the expedition to the north, and when he saw the enemy, he led Cui Luo, Wei Chigong, He Huailiang, Yang Gongqing and others to hold the village. And Wei Chi Gong flew to ride and kill the generals, destroying the enemy and returning, Taizu smiled and said: "The righteous minister is incompetent, and the three must be broken."
