Chapter 39 The king of Yuanxing died in battle
To the south of Poyang Lake, Liu Ziyi, the secretary of the imperial history, reorganized the soldiers and horses, led 20,000 Xiaoguo troops to the west, and forced Yuzhang City.
To the northeast of Yuzhang is Poyang Lake, and the waterways are dense and vertically and horizontally, which is not conducive to the movement of the army. Therefore, Liu Ziyi, the secretary of the imperial history, led his troops to avoid the waterway and attacked north from the south of Yuzhang.
The Great Sui Emperor sent 20,000 troops to conquer and suppress, can the master who is called the king in Yuzhang not know? Of course I know, no, Yuanxing Wang Cao Shi Qi is gathering his subordinates to discuss, preparing to go out to meet the Xiaoguo army of the soldiers. "Ladies and gentlemen, Liu Ziyi, the secretary of the Sui Dynasty, led 20,000 troops to invade Yuzhang, which is a matter of life and death for the "Tiancheng Dynasty", and the king decided to personally lead his troops to resist the enemy. ”
Before the master begged for words, he was anxious for the general Lin Shihong, and hurriedly went out to give a salute, saying: "The king is the king of a country, and he can't be moved lightly." The minister is not talented, and he is willing to lead the troops to resist the enemy. ”
"Haha, the general filtered, thinking that Liu Ziyi only has 20,000 troops, and this king has 50,000 elite soldiers, which is enough to eliminate Liu Ziyi. If there is chaos today, the heroes are competing for deer, especially the war in the north, as long as this king destroys this Sui army, probably Yang Guang will no longer be able to send many soldiers and horses. The lonely mind has been decided, so don't persuade you. The general stayed behind in Yuzhang, so I could defend the city for me, and wait for the good news of the victory of the army. ”
Okay, if Lu Chang was here, he would definitely think that this guy was in a hurry to find death.
However, there is one thing that the master begs to see very clearly, that is, the world is in chaos, and Emperor Yang Guang of Sui is indeed anxious.
If the master rebelled in the area north of the Yangtze River, maybe Yang Guang of the Great Sui would really ignore his little men. The bad thing is that the master begged in Jiangnan to make trouble, so that the Sui Emperor Yang Guang had to send troops and horses to suppress it. The land south of the Yangtze River is the last hope of the Great Sui Emperor Yang Guang, if even the south of the Yangtze River is in chaos, where do you say that the Great Sui Emperor Yang Guang will survive?
Now that the king has decided to go out in person, even the general Lin Shihong can't persuade him, let alone others, the matter has been decided.
Leaving 10,000 troops for Lin Shihong to defend the city, Cao Shi led 40,000 troops from Yuzhang to the south.
A few days later, the armies of the two sides met dozens of miles south of Yuzhang City. On the battlefield, the armies of all sides set up positions, and a major battle was about to break out.
The total number of troops led by Liu Ziyi was about 20,000 men and horses, including 15,000 soldiers and 5,000 auxiliary soldiers. The soldiers were divided into warbands and garrisons. The clan is responsible for the battle charge when fighting, while the garrison is in charge and will only go up when victorious.
All the soldiers are divided into infantry and horse armies according to different types, and the infantry army is divided into crossbow teams, archers, jumping teams, and odd soldiers.
And all the soldiers and horses were in a team of fifty men, and two hundred to three hundred men in a battalion.
There are 4,000 Chinese troops, 2,900 internal soldiers, and 50 are a team. 56 teams. In the soldiers, there were 400 crossbowmen, 500 archers, 1,000 horses, 500 jumpers, and 500 odd soldiers.
There is an army on the left and right, with 2,800 men in each army, and 1,900 soldiers in each army, a total of 76 teams. In the soldiers, there are 300 crossbowmen, 300 archers, 500 horses, 400 jumpers, and 400 odd soldiers.
There are two armies on the left and right, with 2,600 troops each, and 1,850 soldiers each. In the soldiers, there were 250 crossbowmen, 300 archers, 500 horses, 400 jumpers, and 400 odd soldiers.
The horse infantry was totaled 15,000, a total of 280 teams were in battle, and the remaining 5,000 people were guarding the baggage. Among them, there were 2,000 crossbowmen, 2,300 archers, 2,900 jumpers, 2,900 odd soldiers, and 4,000 horse soldiers.
The Great Sui Dynasty opened up the large array of the Xiaoguo Army, waving the flags, the armor was distinct, the war drums were thundering, and the momentum was amazing. In the end, it was a well-trained army, and the entire formation suddenly felt like a killing aura was blowing in the face, which was daunting.
Looking at the army of King Cao Shi of Yuanxing on the opposite side, there was a lot of people, and there were 40,000 horses. The whole army was disorganized, and at first glance it was a rabble of people who had not been rigorously trained.
There is nothing to say about the two armies meeting in a narrow way, and if the formation is rectified, it will start a war.
Liu Ziyi, the scribe and the imperial historian, gave an order, the war drums beat, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the army started, slowly pressing towards the rebels.
Of course, the Yuanxing Wang Cao Shi on the opposite side was not to be outdone, and ordered the army to advance, and more than 40,000 troops were overwhelmingly pressed against the Xiaoguo army on the opposite side.
When the army of the beggar came into range of the opponent's bow and arrow, the Xiaoguo army stopped and began to shoot with their bows and arrows.
More than 4,000 arrows were fired at the enemy in turn, and the army of the master and beggar suddenly turned on their backs and stopped. Under the pressure of the Sui army's dense bows and arrows, the army of the master and beggar withdrew in chaos.
The first attack failed, and the master became furious, scolding his subordinates for their ineffectiveness.
The drill begged to think to himself, these soldiers said that they were soldiers, but in fact they were just farmers who put down their hoes, although there were also people who danced knives and guns, but after all, they had not been trained in battle, and chaos was certain.
There is no way, there is no advance or retreat in this battle, the master gritted his teeth and decided to go out in person, and the three armies did not fight to kill the commander.
"This battle can only be won and not defeated, and it can only move forward and not retreat. This king sets an example, follow me, and must defeat the Sui army. ”
"No, I am willing to move forward with the king."
Yuanxing Wang Caoshi personally commanded the army to attack, which really boosted morale at once, and the soldiers rushed to advance bravely, and the offensive was very fierce.
This trainer is a person with a bold personality and a lot of courage. Almost like the chivalrous warriors of the past, he really took the lead and led the army to fight and rush.
The kings all rushed to the front, and those soldiers could not lag behind, and they all fought bravely lest they fall behind others.
At this time, the Sui army was a little dangerous, several rounds of bows and arrows could not stop the army of the beggars, and the Sui army was a little unbearable when they saw that the two armies were about to meet each other, after all, there was a huge difference in numbers.
Liu Ziyi, the secretary of the imperial history, was also calm, coldly watching the fierce battle between the two armies, and still did not issue an order for the cavalry to attack.
The lethality of bows and arrows is still quite large, each round of shooting is more than 4,000 arrows, and the army of the master beggars suffered heavy casualties.
Just when the Cao Shi beggar army was about to rush forward to fight with the Sui army, an unfortunate thing happened, and the king Cao Shi was killed by an arrow.
"The king has been shot, and the king is dead."
That's a big deal! The king master died in battle, and this is the end.
The death of the drill beggar caused the soldiers of his army to panic, and no one continued to attack, and many began to run back.
This qiē was clearly seen by Liu Ziyi, the secretary of the imperial history, the opportunity, this is a good time for the cavalry to attack, and immediately decisively ordered the cavalry to attack.
The four thousand cavalry of the Sui Dynasty attacked, and the sound of horses' hooves was amazing, and 16,000 horses' hooves slammed on the ground, making a moving rumbling sound, and the whole earth seemed to tremble!
The cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army shook the sky and fiercely pounced on the chaotic enemy army.
The king of Yuanxing is dead, where is there still anyone in his army to resist. With a shout, the 40,000 troops turned around and ran, and they were defeated.
The defeat was like a mountain, and the victory in this battle came so easily.
After this battle, Liu Ziyi, the secretary and servant of the imperial history, had a deep impression of the rebels, in the end, a group of rabble, which could not be regarded as an army at all. Liu Ziyi unexpectedly had a contempt.
In Liu Ziyi's heart, the elimination of this rebel army is just around the corner.
