Chapter 237: Jiannan Suppression of Rebellion (6)
The morning sun in the distance rose slowly as usual, but it seemed to be overworked, the speed of rising was too slow, and even the rising sun was very weak, struggling in the thick morning fog, trying to scatter the morning light on the ground as soon as possible.
At the head of the city shrouded in morning mist, countless rebels were busy running around, ordered to organize defense lines one after another, but it seemed that everyone was a little depressed. In the defeat a few days ago, 30,000 people went out of the city to attack the Fengjia army, and only a few hundred people returned to the city after defeat, and some of them were wounded. Although Chen Jingxuan tried his best to block the news, there were suddenly 30,000 fewer people, how could he hide it by saying a few words?
You must know that the 30,000 troops at that time were divided into two routes and swaggered out of the city, how can this kind of news be concealed? It's just that under the strict military orders, everyone has to treat it as if nothing has happened at all, only some characters who are a little more bold or stunned, and they will talk about it in private chat, and occasionally be discovered by some officers who are in a bad mood, and they will beat dozens of military sticks or whips.
Chen Jingxuan himself knows that in just a few days, the morale of the rebels has dropped to an unprecedented low, and even the soldiers patrolling the city are usually listless, and it seems that they can't wait to fail and surrender quickly! After all, I heard some news about the surrender of prisoners from the mouths of those who fled back to the city, and it is said that they have all turned into soldiers of the Feng family's army!
Chen Jingxuan could not turn a deaf ear to the rumors that were unintentionally circulating in the army, but even if he knew everything, he could not do anything about it, he could only try his best to appease, and even now, he also took a group of personal soldiers to the city in person, and at the same time supervised the battle, he could also save his own morale.
Standing at the head of the city and looking at the city, there was a white morning mist, but under the morning mist, there were so many moving shadows. Chen Jingxuan knew that it was the Feng family army marching slowly, and he understood better that Yazhou and him were about to face the Feng family's army's crazy attack.
Two days ago, Chen Jingxuan received a war letter from Lin Feng, from which Chen Jingxuan learned some news, the Tang Dynasty sent the Tang Dynasty Zhongshu to order Liu Yonghao to be the Qincha, and on behalf of the Son of Heaven himself, he boosted the morale of the Feng family army and rewarded the whole army. And Lin Feng took this opportunity to launch a strong attack on Yazhou in one go.
In the past two days, Chen Jingxuan has not been idle for a moment, from the city gate to every place in the city, he has personally been there, and he personally hugged his fists and interacted with the soldiers to boost morale. All the officers in the middle and high-level were summoned by Chen Jingxuan to the study in batches to talk in person, and even the baggage equipment used to defend the city, Chen Jingxuan almost checked them one by one. In this way, it is almost a matter of dividing and taking back the military power that General Wang has just grasped.
After all, in this case, General Wang still believes in himself the most. Gongsun Yun, the only henchman who can make him unreservedly trust, was killed in the battle of Mengshan Trail a few days ago, and General Wang and Chen Jingxuan have not been fully trusted from beginning to end, and even now, it is still the case.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the rebels in the city had already arrived one after another, only a few soldiers carrying stones and barristers and arranging ballista arrows were still busy back and forth, and several high-level generals also rushed to Chen Jingxuan's side one after another after arranging military affairs, waiting for mobilization at any time.
Under the indiscriminate penetration of the morning light, the morning mist was finally almost gone, scattering the pale golden light on the earth, and also opened the curtain for the meeting between the two sides on the battlefield. Tens of thousands of Feng family troops, lined up into several large phalanxes of thousands of people, slowly marched towards Yazhou, although no one had no war horses to step on, but the ground under their feet was extremely coordinated with a dull and neat roaring sound. Invisibly, a pressure rose from the ground, quickly spreading to the entire battlefield, filling every corner, not even falling into the stone wall that was struck by a crossbow arrow.
There are still more than 1,000 meters away from Yazhou City, and the scarlet daqi with gilded edges on both sides at the front of the team suddenly stagnated with Lin Feng's sudden raising of his hand, and the pace of the whole army stopped in just an instant, and the silence of the scene made people feel terrible, only the Daxu standing in the air at a height of several meters occasionally made a burst of "grin" sound with the morning breeze.
Lin Feng, who was dressed in dark golden armor, had a very flat expression, stretched out his hand and patted the sweaty horse in front of him who kept shaking his head, turned his head to look at the rising sun in the east, the morning light fell on his face casually, smiled faintly, and sighed with a relaxed expression: "Eh! I've been waiting for more than half a year! It's finally time! ”
Followed by Liu Yonghao, who was riding a specially selected horse in the army, although he tried his best to suppress the surging in his heart, but for Liu Yonghao, who can be said to have not experienced any battlefield scenes, the excitement in his heart at this time is not something that can be suppressed by himself at all.
In front of him is a fortified city defended by rebels twice as many as his own, although Liu Yonghao also knows that the morale of the rebels has fallen to the bottom, but when he thinks of the huge number of rebels, he can't help but admire the elite of the Tang Dynasty behind him.
There are only about 30,000 Feng family troops, and 10,000 of them are still rebels who have recently surrendered, but everyone's faces, bodies, and even the momentum revealed from those eyes are harder than the fortified city in front of Liu Yonghao, and the number of rebels in the city is even larger.
"Meng Hong! Bian Hao, Chen Yang! Suddenly, Lin Feng's deep cry pulled Liu Yonghao back to reality from his contemplation, and when he looked up, he saw three fully armored generals urging the horses out of the column from one side, Meng Hong in front, Bian Hao and Chen Yang were separated from each other, and they hugged their fists in unison and said: "The end will be!" ”
"As planned! Half an hour later, listen to the orders of the Chinese army! Attack the East Side! Lin Feng snorted again, and then pointed at Meng Hong, who was the leader, and shouted, "Lord Qincha is here to testify!" If you take the eastern wall! It will inevitably be reported to a great achievement! If you lose, don't come back! ”
Although the words were very tough, Meng Hong saw Lin Feng's eyes under the battle helmet winking at him, paused slightly, nodded heavily and clenched his fists, and said loudly: "Obey the commander's order!" The last general personally led people to attack the city, and let Lord Qincha witness it for the last general and the Feng family's army! ”
"Good!" Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction, then turned his head to look at Liu Yonghao, arched his hand slightly, and said with a light smile: "Lord Liu!" Today's battle, Lord Liu is there all the time, and the time will be on the Son of Heaven. . . ”
"King Han rest assured! The old man will definitely report it truthfully! Liu Yonghao is cunning and cunning, how could he not know that Lin Feng was inviting merit for the generals under his command at this time, and hurriedly returned the salute, and then arched his hand in the direction of Chengdu Mansion, and solemnly assured Lin Feng: "Today's matter, when I return to Chengdu Mansion, the old man will definitely report to His Majesty the Emperor word for word!" ”
"Good! There's Lord Lauliu! Lin Feng arched his hand again, and then turned his head to Meng Hong and ordered in a deep voice: "Go!" Half an hour later, listen to the orders of the Chinese army! ”
"Order!" Meng Hong and the three of them clasped their fists and nodded, then pulled up the reins, and as soon as their feet moved, the three of them took the lead in rushing to the east side of the army, and followed dozens of pro-soldiers behind them, and in front of the army, a long cloud of smoke and dust was raised.
