Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Sunset Goes West and the Water Flows Artesian (continued)
On the battlefield where nearly 100,000 troops gathered, how big can one person play?
For a warrior and a front-line commander, it may be the ultimate to capture the flag, defeat an enemy army, change the situation on the local battlefield, and tilt the balance of victory, right?
For a military strategist or commander of an army, discovering a fighter plane, responding to it, and thus making a final decision, may also be an extreme enough to go down in history, right?
In other words, Yang Feng, who burst out in front of the main force of the White Wave Army, is not a shallow-eyed person, although his family is not a family, but when he comes, his family has a lot of property and great power, and the scenes he has seen since childhood are different; Second, this place in Hedong originally belonged to Sili, a famous county of the Han family close to the political center and with a very heavy military status, so he was not ignorant of the political situation or anything; Third, he was also a literate man; Fourth, after the turmoil in the world, his people actually divided Yang County and Xiangling...... But in any case, when the horn sounded in the Youzhou Army barracks, and the world-famous Wei General Gongsun Xun calmly left the camp from the east side of the camp, Yang Feng still completely refreshed his perception of 'one person'.
Because Gongsun Xun didn't do anything, he just got up from the high platform in the camp, and then rode out on a horse in a hurry, which immediately shook the entire battle situation...... It's incredible!
But, it really happened.
As the sun set, with the sound of the horns of the Youzhou Army one after another, the rhythm of the battle was suddenly cut off on the battlefield of Gaoliang Pavilion, which had already killed each other.
The infantry of the Youzhou Army, who had just completed a hard battle, gave up the plan to turn around and return to the camp for correction, and the auxiliaries and soldiers who were originally defending against the fence behind them also abandoned the camp one after another, but poured out like a tide, and forcibly stood on the messy battlefield in front of the camp;
And the Hedong soldiers, who were supposed to continue the attack, almost all retreated and contracted in a panic in some strange atmosphere, and hurriedly assembled in formation in the rapid shouts of their respective leaders...... Then, the entire military formation of the Hedong Army became inexplicably nervous and depressed!
From Guo Tai on the high platform in the distance to Yang Feng in the distance, from Gao Shun in front of the camp to Han Dang on the flank, from the forward generals of the Hedong Army who only had remnants to the more than 10,000 auxiliary soldiers in the back camp of the Gaoliang Pavilion Battalion, from the Baibo Army to the Youzhou Army, almost everyone stared nervously at the slowly moving White Horse Army flag in the sound of the horn!
And Yang Feng, who was at the forefront of the position, and his subordinates even saw the figure on the white horse with their own eyes.
An ordinary white horse, a stainless steel armor, a red robe, a dark coat, and a helmet with a standing feather do not seem to be too prominent, but at this time it is dazzling and difficult to move...... Because almost everyone can think of countless things along this figure!
For example, if there is turmoil and turmoil today, there is almost no war everywhere, but before that, there was only one person in the huge Han family who suppressed the world with the four words of commanding the army and fighting chaos! This is the Wei general spent more than ten years, from Xianbei to Wuhuan, from the Yellow Turban to the Qiang Chaos, from Goguryeo to the Huns, with countless victories...... Don't fake it!
Even these Hedong people may know more about this than the average person, because the best of them don't know how many times they have fought under this man as the Knight of the Three Rivers...... The Yellow Turban Rebellion six years ago may still be their father and brother, but the Battle of Guanzhong a year ago is undoubtedly their own experience.
If it weren't for the entanglement of family members and clans, it would be difficult to get rid of the Bai Bo Army, and I don't know how many people would have been like each other a long time ago.
Gongsun Xun led the generals and officials of the Chinese army, and under the escort of Han Hao, he rode a white horse straight out of the east gate of the Gaoliang Pavilion camp, and then faced the cavalry brigade, and naturally there was a white horse Yicong who went straight out to greet him, but Gongsun Xun did not stop, but continued to slowly rein forward along the cavalry formation that had been resting all afternoon under the escort of Yicong.
The generals and their cavalry originally stood under their horses to rest, and they should have saluted, but Gongsun Xun took out the broken blade with his left hand, and he didn't unsheath it, but just raised it slightly and raised it upwards to signal, but it was just to let the cavalry of the whole army along the way get on the horse!
In this way, his people walked all the way from north to south along the cavalry array, and the cavalry of all departments also re-mounted and stood up with his arrival, and the cavalry brigade wearing red and white straight jackets was even more like being pushed by this Wei general's hand, and a red and white wave was turned up above the Fenping Plain, and was immediately covered by the white horse cavalry behind Gongsun Xun and mixed into one!
Oh, I don't know when it started, and who started, the cavalry formation of the Youzhou Army suddenly cheered, and finally shouted long live!
Banzai!
In this era, it was not the exclusive title of the Son of Heaven, and the more general role in the army was the cheer after victory...... In other words, the sky has not dimmed yet, and it has not yet reached the best moment when it can kill with one blow, but when Gongsun Xun personally came to the army to participate in the formation, this army has already begun to cheer for victory!
As the leader of the troops, who was likely to be the first to encounter this cavalry brigade, Yang Feng instinctively wanted to raise his troops' vigilance!
But when he turned his head, this one of the best tycoons in Hedong was stunned...... It turned out that it was not only the Youzhou soldiers and horses that were driven by Gongsun Xun before, but also his Yang Feng's subordinate army formation, which unknowingly turned around with Gongsun Xun's pre-formation inspection!
With a hint of horror, Yang Fengfu looked back at the main force of the Baibo Army behind him, and as he imagined, the entire Baibo Army was unknowingly pulled by Gongsun Xun and turned his head!
As the first person to wake up, Yang Feng almost couldn't immediately grab the beards of Cheng Yin, Li Le, and Hu Cai behind him, and let them continue to attack the Youzhou military camp, instead of opening his mouth and looking up at the white horse flag like a carp in the Yellow River before the rain!
However, when he thought about it, even he himself was shaken by it just now, let alone these people who had been fighting hard all afternoon? How much more are these soldiers under his own commandment?
In the final analysis, probably except for a yellow turban remnant Guo Tai, all these people did not dare to regard Gongsun Xun as an opponent from their bones...... The essence of the whole battle was nothing more than the fact that they wanted to continue to keep the Emperor of the Territory in front of Gongsun Xun, but Gongsun Xun was destined to be impossible to agree!
In fact, Gongsun Xun had been stationed in Taiyuan for so long before, but these people had always been difficult to make up their minds, neither took the initiative to rush to Lingshikou at the junction of Taiyuan and Hedong, which is commonly known as the Mouse Bird Valley, to stop it, nor did they make up their minds to start a decisive battle at the beginning, and even waited until Gongsun Xun attacked Lian Ke and made them hurt before they hurriedly came to the decisive battle...... itself represents their ambivalence about Gongsun Xun's fear and resistance.
Therefore, when Gongsun Xun, who was beyond their imagination, went out of the camp with the most decisive attitude, it was no wonder that the whole army of 70,000 or 80,000 Baibo troops in Hedong was shaken...... From politics to the military, these people really never put themselves on an equal footing with General Wei.
Of course, this should have been one of the purposes of this Wei general, and after this setback, the Hedong Army missed the last opportunity to attack the camp and seize a foothold.
Yang Feng figured out some things, but he was still helpless...... Because Gongsun Xun has already begun to mobilize that deadly cavalry array! It's too late to say more about the foothold, now it's time to save your life!
But it's not that easy to save your life.
The continuous sound of military trumpets stopped, and Gongsun Xun also came to the middle of his cavalry array, just slowly raised his hand, and then the cavalry array behind him gradually cleaned up...... This immediate effect, the personal prestige and military discipline of the representatives, almost chilled the Hedong tycoons who knew the soldiers opposite.
They are almost certain that they don't need to get the sunset, even now, if the 20,000 cavalry rushes hard, the 70,000 or 80,000 Baibo troops will be defeated!
The Youzhou cavalry in front of them was lined up, and Yang Fengze, who bore the brunt of the attack, had a numb scalp...... He felt powerless at the role of his five or six thousand people in blocking, and he was afraid of the man and his troops hundreds of paces away in front of him, but he didn't dare to summon reinforcements! Because he knew that if the big formation moved at this time, it was likely that the scattered formation would in turn give the opposing cavalry a real chance to attack, so that the big collapse would come faster!
In front of the cavalry formation of the Youzhou Army, which had quieted down, Gongsun Xun looked at the sunlight on the opposite side, which had long ceased to be dazzling, but suddenly reined in his horse and immediately began to advance towards Yang Fengbu in front of him.
The cavalry who was watching their own coach and the white horse flag behind him also did not hesitate, immediately reined in their horses, and began to slowly move forward with Gongsun Xun.
20,000 cavalry, tall and large, boundless, as soon as it started, it was shocking that the seventy or eighty thousand Baibo troops on the opposite side had the intention of cowering! Among them, Yang Feng's headquarters, which bore the brunt of the attack, was immediately shaken, which made Yang Feng, who was already very depressed, desperate in an instant...... He knew very well what this meant, he was afraid that when the Youzhou cavalry really rushed to the front, his troops would collapse without a fight, and he would probably die without a place to bury because of this pathetic position, and he might even be trampled into a ball of flesh.
But at this moment, something interesting happened, as if he was just adapting his mount to the environment here, Gongsun Xun suddenly stopped his horse again, and although the 20,000 Youzhou iron horsemen did not know why, they also stopped again...... This process, because of the large number of cavalry, seems simple, but in fact it is a very time-consuming process.
Yang Feng escaped death, but he also woke up instantly...... The other party has all the golden drums, and if the whole army really wants to assault just now, it must beat the drums in advance.
However, after escaping death, this Hedong tycoon felt more and more tormented, because death is not terrible, waiting for death is the most terrible! What's more, Yang Fengben is the most flexible person among the great men in Hedong.
He began to wonder why General Wei had done this.
Gongsun Xun Lema stood sideways in front of the military formation, facing the sunset, and looked at the military formation on the opposite side that had just shown signs of retreat, but he was secretly counting in his heart.
After thirty counts, Gongsun Xun stepped forward for the second time.
Correspondingly, the Great Array of the White Wave Army was also the second time that the commotion could not be stopped, and even the edge had the meaning of dispersion, and Yang Fengbu actually had an overall retreat. At the same time, the Baibo army on the front line also clearly noticed the tens of thousands of auxiliary soldiers who could be called a new force from the rear camp of the Youzhou army to the front, although they were only auxiliary soldiers, but the appearance at this time made the morale of the Baibo army more and more sluggish.
But Gongsun Xun stopped for the second time, and still turned sideways.
"I get it......"
Looking at the figure under the white horse on the opposite side that was covered with a layer of gold decoration by the setting sun, Yang Feng suddenly woke up, and then desperately summoned the most trusted and outstanding general under his command as if he had met some life-saving straw. "Where is Xu Gongming?!"
Xu Huang, who was not far away and was trying to control the military formation for Yang Feng, had a serious face, and immediately galloped over: "General! β
"I can only count on you!" Yang Feng looked at Xu Huang and said anxiously. "General Wei is giving us a chance, he doesn't want to really kill us...... Otherwise, the prisoners would not have been suddenly released before going out in person! He used this to signal me to surrender! Right? β
"The truth is right, but is the general going to defect?" Rao is Xu Huang has always been calm and wooden, and he was also a little stunned at this time. "What's the point of defecting at this point? General Wei personally went out into battle, the whole army of Youzhou Army was inspired, and our army was shaken, and when the other cavalry brigade rushed directly, I was afraid that 70,000 or 80,000 people would lose control and trample on each other. β
"We can surrender with all our troops!" Yang Feng stared at the subordinates in front of him suddenly.
Xu Huang shook his head in a deep voice: "There are dozens of our army, and people are different, so they ...... in a hurry."
"You can kill Mrs. Guo and order the whole army to abandon their weapons!" Yang Bong interrupted the other party again. "The only high platform of our army is there, take advantage of the fact that it is not too late, do it in public, although there is chaos, but it can still be done, at least General Wei and his troops can also see it, at that time our army will collapse, and General Wei will no longer need to drive the cavalry to trample and kill......"
"Guo Shuai is not guilty!" Xu Huang blurted out. "And as a subordinate, because the situation has deviated, he is already very ashamed, how can he still kill people? How can there be such a reason in the world? β
"What's the point in these years?" Yang Feng's face turned hideous. "If you really want to be reasonable, if you kill him today, you can live tens of thousands of villagers, if you want me to say, this is the great truth! Besides, if you think about it, our Baibo Army is known as the Yellow Turban, and General Wei can't spare this alone, but you don't know that the only real Yellow Turban in the army is him, if you don't kill him, how can you surrender, kill him, and then you can explain ......"
Before the words fell, there was another commotion around him.
It turned out that just as Yang and Xu were talking, Gongsun Xun approached a few steps forward for the third time, and this time, probably because the sun was getting more and more westward, the shaking and retreat of the Bai Bo army became more and more obvious. Moreover, the infantry of the Youzhou Army in front of the large camp actually took advantage of the momentum and approached the already filled trench.
Xu Huang opened his mouth to speak.
Yang Feng suddenly calmed down: "Gongming...... As you can see, General Wei's hints are real, but patience is limited...... Don't waste time, you go to the Chinese army quickly, you can take a good look and think about it along the way, what kind of morality do you want, or do you want to kill him and rescue tens of thousands of villagers here? I'll send someone to find other commanders and leaders, and they will definitely understand! When you arrive at the place, if you make up your mind, pretend to report the military situation, and go to the stage and directly cut him with a hand axe! The lives of 70,000 or 80,000 people here depend on you! β
Xu Huang was silent for a moment, and then, almost in a gesture of escape, hurriedly beat his horse and headed towards Guo Tai of the Chinese army.
What they saw along the way, the morale was still high in the morning, and the Bai Bo soldiers who were full of killing intent in the afternoon were full of panic at this time! Obviously, Gongsun Xun's demonstration with room not only interrupted the offensive of the White Polish Army, but also made the officers of the White Polish Army with outstanding military quality clearly realize their true situation! And quickly spread this understanding to the whole army!
When disaster comes, everyone is in danger.
Xu Huang struggled more and more, but the war under his crotch did not stop, and he had already come to the Chinese army after Gongsun Xun approached for the fourth time.
Like everywhere, Guo Tai, the commander of the Baibo Army and wearing a yellow scarf on his head, was also arguing with his own guards about something, and when he saw Xu Huang coming, he was actually a little relieved and relaxed: "But Xu Gongming of Yang County? β
"Exactly!" Xu Huang dismounted from the stage, and then leaned over to salute. "Meet Guo Shuai!"
"You're just in time." Guo Taili stood on the hastily piled high platform, held a sword upside down, and sighed with relief. "There is one thing, I want my attendants to do it, but they don't dare, Komeito is a well-known warrior in the county, and he has no personal relationship with me, so he just does it for me!"
Xu Huang stiffened his head and raised his head in response: "I am willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!" But Yang Shuai has ......"
"I want to kill myself, please come to the stage to behead me, and then surrender your head to save tens of thousands of innocent villagers here." Mrs. Guo said suddenly.
Xu Huang was stunned.
"Don't be stunned." Mrs. Guo looked up and sighed. Seven years ago, the Taiping Road swept the world, and I couldn't successfully raise troops in Hedong...... It is difficult to achieve his wish, and now that he sees that the defeat is decided, he knows that he will die. In this case, if I can exchange the lives of tens of thousands of people in battle with my own head, why should I be reluctant? Remember, don't delay, because as soon as it gets dark, General Wei won't give him another chance. β
Xu Huang was silent, and several of Mrs. Guo's guards around him knelt on the ground and sobbed, vowing to rescue Mrs. Guo and take refuge in Luliang Mountain, which made Mrs. Guo also difficult to give up for a while.
But soon, as the surrounding sergeants retreated in panic again, and the whole army showed signs of collapse, Mrs. Guo no longer hesitated, turned her back to the sunset, and killed herself with her sword! But Xu Gongming jumped on the high platform in the face of the sunset, and then pulled out his axe in front of the crowd and took his head in public.
As the sun sets, blood splatters five steps, and the Chinese army collapses!
βββββ I am the dividing line of suicide to surviveβββββ
"Since Taizu came out of the camp, he led the crowd to gather 20,000 cavalry relatives to line up in the east, and his army was tightly organized, the armor was dazzling, and the sunset was dazzling, like a god, and the thief army was terrified. When Taizu saw the thief shake, he made the whole army cheer, stopped, did not drum, and led the crowd forward, the thief looked at the banner and wavered, less than ten steps, suddenly stopped, the thief was suddenly suspicious, and the formation gradually collapsed. Repeatedly, the whole army of thieves shook and scattered left and right. The thief leader Guo Tai looked at it from afar, knowing that he could not do it, and he also knew Taizu's intentions, so he killed himself, and made his own guard box surrender. βThe Book of Old Swallows.
