Chapter 83: Childe is mighty
On the battlefield, there was silence.
Even Yan Qing, including Yan Qing, did not expect such a result. Originally, I just wanted to take this opportunity to break the morale of the rebels. Since people want Wenbi, then he also Wenbi. I thought that it would be enough to make this Yu Rou half dead, but I didn't expect that this guy would be so angry that he vomited blood and fell off the horse.
It can't be a heart attack, it's too weak......
Immediately, the plot of Zhuge Liang scolding Wang Lang to death appeared in Yan Qing's mind, and he couldn't help but show a smile.
But this faint smile has become different in the eyes of everyone in the city. Even Shen Guang couldn't help but shudder.
Don't make your son angry in the future, maybe like this Yu Rou, she will vomit blood and die after being scolded.
As soon as the inspiration moved, Shen Guang raised his arms and shouted: "Childe is mighty!" ”
The soldiers at the head of the city immediately let out a tsunami cry: "Childe is mighty, Childe is mighty!" ”
Yu Rou was strangely scolded to death, and the morale of Gongxian reached an extreme.
And the rebels are demoralized to the extreme!
Yang Jishan couldn't help but be angry at this time, and while secretly scolding Yu Rou in his heart for being useless, he pulled out his sword and shouted: "Siege!" ”
In an instant, the war drums roared and resounded through the sky.
Driven by the sound of drums, the rebels launched an attack on Gongxian.
Gongxian County, there is no need to even speak. At the very moment of the rebels' movements, archers and catapults were ready. One by one, the crossbows were opened, ready to go. As the rebels got closer and closer, Xie Anmin roared, and arrows rained down on the city, shooting into the sky.
Whoosh, a bed crossbow the thickness of an arm's arm shot out with the sound of the tension spring.
A blocking car that rushed to the front was smashed by this crossbow and flipped directly and flew up, killing several rebels on the spot.
Yan Qing also put on a mask, holding a silver whip, and stood at the head of the city.
Let the rebels rain down with arrows, but they will not move. There were a few sharp arrows that saw Yan Qing being shot, but they were split down by Shen Guang and others first.
That quiet appearance made the people of Gongxian full of confidence.
With the deafening shouts of killing, an offensive and defensive battle that should not exist in history in the nine years of the Great Cause kicked off in this way......*****
Overall, the rebels, though twenty times outnumbered the defenders, did not have much of an advantage.
The soldiers who joined the rebels after following the rumors were originally just outcasts. If it weren't for Emperor Yang of Sui's reckless military force, these people would have nowhere to stay, and they would definitely not join the rebels. However, what was supposed to be a devastating war turned into a difficult battle.
The rebels first said that the offensive was extremely strong, like a tide, and they attacked Gongxian County.
However, the defenders were united, relying on the solid and thick walls of Gongxian County to repel the attacks of the rebels again and again. At noon, the rebel camp was suddenly attacked violently. I don't know where a cavalry army came out of nowhere, rushed into the back camp, killed wildly, and set fire to it.
The rebels, who had been attacking fiercely, were at a loss when they encountered this sudden sneak attack.
The anger that was held back before was about to be extinguished with the failure of attacks again and again, and the heavy losses were heavy. Now there is a fire in the back camp, so that the rebels have no intention of continuing.
Yang Jishan also knew that he had missed the best opportunity to attack.
Originally, if Yu Rou didn't want to run out and do it, Yang Jishan would have to concentrate his forces and launch an attack even if he didn't want to attack. But Yu Rou wants to have a three-inch tongue. didn't say anything about descending Li Yanqing, and was scolded by Li Yanqing for his losses, and died alive in the city.
This is undoubtedly a huge blow to the rebels.
After the battalion was attacked by a sneak attack, Yang Jishan knew in his heart that if he continued to fight, it would only increase casualties.
The gong sounded, and Yang Jishan had to withdraw his troops.
He stood on the car, hatefully glanced at the Gongxian city wall that had been filled in the moat and stained red with blood, and gritted his teeth.
Li Yanqing stood motionless on the gatehouse from beginning to end.
Looking at the rebel camp with thick smoke billowing out, the corners of his mouth curled up and a strange smile appeared.
This is just the beginning, and it is not yet known who will die of the deer!
However, he also knew that Gong County was not enough to be a barrier. He didn't know how long he could hold out. But if you stick to it more, Gong County will be able to have more vitality. As for how many people will die in this war? He never thought about it. What he has to do is to persevere, persevere, and persevere...... Until he couldn't hold on any longer.
In June of the ninth year of the Great Cause, Yang Xuan falsely claimed to have come to protect his children and rebelled, and he started an incident in Liyang.
He said to the people under his command: The emperor has no way, and he doesn't care whether the people live or die. Thousands of people died in Liaodong. Now I don't admit that you are sent to death, so I will join you in raising troops to rescue the people, do you agree?
The people were already tired of war, and when they heard this, they naturally rejoiced and enthusiastically followed suit.
In just a few days, Yang Xuangan's command has gathered more than 50,000 people. Although Tang Wei informed, it was only the closure of Xiuwu Linqing and other cities, and Yang Xuangan had to take a detour. But along the way, countless displaced people were recruited. When Yang Xuangan forcibly crossed the river in Ji County, his army had reached 100,000 people.
Yang Xuangan's rebellion caused the war in Liaodong to immediately undergo a fundamental change.
Although the war in Liaodong was progressing slowly, victory was already in sight. When Yang Guang heard the news of Yang Xuangan's rebellion, he still didn't believe it. He immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops and returned to Luoyang. But when retreating, he was pursued by Etozhi Wende's troops, and the losses were particularly heavy. However, compared with the first fiasco, this expedition to Liaodong did not hurt the Sui army. After arriving in Gaoyang, Yang Guang ordered Yuwenshu and Lai Hu'er to be the vanguards, and quickly returned to the Central Plains. At the same time, Yang Xuan, the acting king of Chang'an, also received a request for help from Yang Tong, the king of Yue, who was staying in Luoyang, and ordered Wei Wensheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, to send troops from Chang'an and send a letter to Guguan in the east to try to rescue Luoyang.
At this time, Yan Qing was already in Gong County, stationed in Wuyue.
These five days are undoubtedly five days of blood and fire intertwined for Gong County.
Of the 2,000 villagers, nearly half were killed and seriously wounded, as many as hundreds. If it weren't for the fact that before the war, Yan Qing had launched a conscription order, and five days would have been enough to make Gongxian fall away. Fortunately, there are not many young people in Gong County, and they continue to provide soldiers to the city.
This also made Gongxian County always maintain a strength of 1,500 people, guarding the city gate.
The losses on the part of the rebels were equally enormous, with more than 3,000 casualties in five days, nearly one-tenth of them. Yang Jishan really didn't want to fight anymore, and the loss of so many soldiers and horses in such a small county was obviously beyond the scope of what he could accept.
But as soon as the war began, how could he be allowed to stop?
After five days, Gongxian County was still firmly controlled by Yan Qing.
But Yang Jishan is a little careless. First of all, the cavalry led by Su Lie harassed the camp at night and constantly attacked the grain route.
On the Xingyang side, the Guancheng County Order, Sima Fang Xuanling of Xingyang County, has stabilized his position and continues to harass Xingyang County.
At the same time, the garrison of Guancheng, headed by Xu Shiji, the county lieutenant, was divided into two routes. Xu Shiji and Xie Ke each led 200 cavalry troops and blocked the grain route from Gongxian to Xingyang. Originally, there was a Su Lie, which had already given Yang Jishan a headache. Now there are two more guys, and it seems that they are more difficult to deal with than Su Lie.
Xu Shiji learned the art of war since he was a child and was strategic.
Xie Ke fought against Goguryeo with Yanqing, and his tactics of guerrilla warfare can be described as perfect.
Whether Yang Jishan or Zheng Shan, he sent a large team of men and horses to encircle and suppress, and these people immediately turned into the mountains; If a small force is sent, they will attack unceremoniously. The first few days were fine, but on the fourth and fifth days, the three cavalry forces seemed to have a tacit understanding and began to attack and harass without stopping. That's really you singing and I'm on the stage. Once Xu Shiji even hit the Tiger Prison Pass, and put the Lai Yuan who guarded the Tiger Prison Pass, teasing for a while, and then the three cavalry armies attacked, and after the defeat of the Lai Yuan, they left.
At this time, Yang Jishan, who stayed behind in Luoyang, sent 5,000 people to try to intercept Yang Xuanting in the south of the gang.
But he was defeated in successive battles and retreated to Luoyang. After Yang Xuanting crossed the south of the gang, he implored Yang Jishan to quickly join him in Luoyang.
And Yang Jishan is difficult to ride a tiger.
Fortunately, on the seventh day of the Battle of Gongxian, Yang Xuangan's army finally arrived in Xingyang...... is completely different from Yang Jishan, Yang Xuangan's surname is extremely strong, and when he starts to do things, he is also resolute and resolute, without dragging the mud and water at all.
Originally, after Yang Xuangan arrived in Xingyang, Fang Xuanling realized the deterioration of the situation.
So he immediately recovered his troops and prepared to defend the city. It's just that he didn't expect that the day after Yang Xuangan arrived in Xingyang, he led his troops to attack. Almost with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying, the city and county were forcibly attacked. Unlike Gong County, Guancheng County's defense was far from being that strong. Fang Xuanling only held on for two days, and the city was broken. Fang Xuanling, under the escort of Dou Xiaowu and Cui Shanfu, the eldest son of Cui Zhiren, fought his way out of the encirclement overnight. Cui Zhiren desperately covered, and finally set fire to the Cui clan house, killing himself at home, and Guancheng could no longer contain Xingyang.
After capturing Guancheng, Yang Xuangan ordered that the people should not be disturbed.
He also showed great kindness to the captured Cui clan and Zheng clansmen.
Those who are willing to follow him, he warmly welcomes. Those who do not want to follow will not be forced. even sent someone to rebuild Cui's rented house and buried Cui Zhiren.
His clever methods and super personal charm have made many people admire.
Zheng Shanguo's eldest son, Zheng Yan, but Zheng Shanguo obstructed and joined the rebels. In this regard, Yang Xuan was overjoyed and named Zheng Yan to join the army as a record.
After the city was broken, Yang Xuangan raised troops and returned to the division.
On the second day of the return to Xingyang County, the supervising army approached Gong County.
The 100,000 army was mighty and joined Yang Jishan under the city of Gongxian County. Yang Xuangan is just over 40 years old, and because he looks quite similar to Yang Su, he is very loved by Yang Su. He was eight feet tall, with a muscular physique. The face is like pink jade, and a beautiful hair is born under the chin.
Lying silkworm eyebrows, Danfeng eyes, and Yu Xuanang.
After listening carefully to Yang Jishan's report, Yang Xuan couldn't help beating his chest, "This is not the fault of Jishan, it is actually my negligence." ”
"Big brother, Xuan Ting has come to Luoyang and is now stationed in Jingu Garden.
This little Gong County has dragged me for seven days. If it can't be solved quickly, I'm afraid that Xuan Ting's side will be in trouble. This brother is incompetent, please punish the eldest brother. ”
Yang Xuangan shook his head again and again, "Don't be like this, Li Wushu is not in vain." Its people were able to crisscross Goguryeo, leaving hundreds of thousands of wolves and tigers helpless. Even characters such as Yizhi Wende can't help him, let alone a virtuous brother? At the beginning of the year, I wanted to recruit him. He even accepted my gift money, but his grandfather was seriously ill and could not leave. It's also that I don't have enough heart, thinking that Li Yanqing is a greedy person for money and goods, and he can't be used. Later, he never contacted him again, which caused the virtuous brother to have such a situation. It is not your sin, but my fault. ”
Yang Xuan sighed again and again, without blaming Yang Jishan at all.
In fact, he did not contact Yanqing later, and was also persuaded by Li Mi. But in front of such people, he kept silent about it.
Li Mi was a little embarrassed on the side, when he said that Yanqing was useless, many people heard it.
The more Yang Xuangan refused to blame him, the more he felt shameless.
"General, Li is not talented, and he is willing to seize Gong County."
Yang Xuangan was happy at first, but immediately shook his head.
"Master, kill chickens with a knife. The small Gong County is not to be feared...... Now that our army is trapped here, Xuan Ting is in Jingu Garden, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to support it alone. I intend to ask the Dharma Master and Ji Shan to lead the army to Luoyang as soon as possible, and after the round with Xuan Ting, seize the eastern capital as soon as possible. ”
Li Mi was moved when he heard this.
Bowed to Yang Xuangan, "Li Mi is willing to be a general and serve the work of dogs and horses." ”
In fact, whether it is Yang Xuangan or Li Mi, they don't attach much importance to Gong County. Even if Gong County cannot be captured, as long as Luoyang is occupied, Gong County will become an isolated city. Now that he is in the hands of Li Yanqing, it is nothing more than adding a little trouble to Yang Xuangan and others.
That night, Li Mi and Yang Jishan raised an army of 80,000 and marched towards Luoyang.
"General, don't underestimate Li Yanqing."
Han Shi'e stepped forward.
In the past few days, he has fought with Yanqing, and he knows that Yanqing is powerful.
Yang Xuangan smiled, and after a moment of silence, he said to Han Shi'e: "Brother Xian, early tomorrow morning, you will go to Gongxian County with me, and we will meet this famous Li Wudi for a while!" ”
