Chapter 614: The Shuozhou Army Goes into Battle

PS: Thank you for the book friend Red Dust Stop 1, fkingbitch for your encouragement.

Two hours later, in the rebel camp ten miles outside the city, in the empty tent, only Pei Wen'an and Wang Shichong were left, and the nearest guards were sent to a hundred steps outside the tent, and the two people in military uniforms sat opposite each other across a sand table, talking with each other on the sand table.

Pei Wen'an didn't see much excitement on his face, and wrote: I knew that I should listen to Wei Zheng's strategy, regardless of Puzhou, and went straight to Tongguan.

Wang Shichong shook his head: Your one or two thousand people can't take Tongguan, if there are more people, it will arouse Qiu He's vigilance, it's not bad to be able to do this, your real mistake is to stop Xiao Maha and Wang Cheng from going south, if they go to Jingjiangnan, maybe you still have a chance to survive this time, but it's too late.

Pei Wen'an's face changed: No, it's not too late, as long as you get through Daizhou and get in touch with the Turks, there is hope, didn't you also approve of this before?

Wang Shichong sighed, and his luck was like the wind: Things have changed, Changsun Sheng has fallen to Yang Guang, and now even if Daizhou is opened, you don't have to count on the help of the Turks. When I came, Changsun Sheng and Li Zixiong had already gone to Youzhou and Qingzhou via Turkic, how are you now passing through Yanzhao and the troops of the Central Plains? If you can capture Youzhou in time, you may have a chance to live.

Pei Wen'an's face became more and more ugly, and he stomped his feet hatefully: Don't mention it, the few sent out are all waste, Yu Gongxi, who went to the Central Plains, has been wiped out, and Suliang, who went to Liyang and Hebei, has not captured Cizhou, and now he is a lone army, and defeat is just around the corner. As for Liu Jian, who went to Yan Zhao. Even the Jingcheng Pass was not captured. Li Zixiong has taken over Dou Kang's Youzhou soldiers, and is going to Jingcheng with Laihu'er to join forces, and the Kwantung strategy has completely failed.

Wang Shichong shook his head: This time the army is really unpopular, but you failed too quickly, and you can't even hold it for half a year, so my people can't raise troops to respond, Wen An, I advise you not to hang yourself on the tree of Yang Liang. Hurry up and find a way to get out of Shuozhou and go to the northern tribe of the Turkic Desert, I still have a little friendship with the prince of the Dubi, and I can save my life.

Pei Wenan shook his hand angrily: No, I am unwilling, as long as this battle is defeated in Daizhou, there is still hope, the combat power of the Dragoon Praetorian Guard is the best in the world, first break Daizhou, and then turn back to join the soldiers of Jinyang. Now the king of Han still has more than 200,000 troops, which is enough to fight with Yang Su. Once Yang Su's Guanzhong troops are defeated, the outcome is not yet known!

Wang Shichong knew that this Pei Wen'an was already incorrigible, he groaned for a while, and wrote: Wen'an, since you have this determination, then take advantage of it, your family is now being taken care of by Hongdae, don't worry.

Pei Wen'an's face muscles jumped, and he wrote: Wang Xingman, we don't have to scheming with each other now, you want me to go to Mobei, it is nothing more than that you don't want me to fall into the hands of the imperial court after my defeat and confess you, and I handed over my family to Hongdae before the army is also a mutual trust move that reassures you. If I can capture Daizhou within a few days this time, then there is still salvation, if the Dragoon Guards can't capture this Daizhou, then it will be a failure, and I can't survive if I flee to Mobei, don't worry, if it is really a defeat, I will make a decision, and I will never drag you down, I will wait for you to take care of my family and avenge me!

Wang Shichong's heart was relieved, and he smiled: Tomorrow Yang Yichen will go out of the city to fight with you, you should take advantage of this opportunity.

A hint of surprise flashed in Pei Wen'an's eyes: He wants to go out of the city to fight me? He's not sick!

Wang Shichong shook his head: Yang Yichen is a famous general in the world, and he has a strong victory, the victory or defeat is unknown, he asked me to come today to retrieve Yang Sien's body, the 100,000 yuan I brought is already outside the account, you can give me a personal favor.

Pei Wen'an laughed: I originally thought that if Yang Yichen couldn't shrink out, I would abuse Yang Sien's corpse under the city, but this time it will save me business, no problem, you can take the corpse back, and you can watch the battle tomorrow.

Wang Shichong's eyes flashed: After tomorrow, I hope we will have a chance to speak again.

Early the next morning, just after the hour, the suspension bridge of the southern city of Daizhou was lowered heavily, the city gate was slowly opened, and the dense cavalry and infantry rushed out in three columns, swords and guns were like a forest, and everyone's faces were resolute and murderous.

After the army left the open space in the south of the city, they scattered to the left and right, the Shuozhou cavalry was in front, the infantry was in the middle, and Yang Xuangan's Xiaoguo iron cavalry was the last to come out, dragging the Shuozhou army for about five miles, sweeping the formation far away.

Wang Shichong was fully armed, standing on the high city tower, today he can rarely easily watch the battle as an outsider, although he knows that Pei Wen'an will lose more and win less, even if he wins, it will not have much impact on the overall situation, but he is also very curious, Shuozhou Army, Dragoon Forbidden Army, Xiaoguo Army, the three strongest cavalry in the world meet, plus there are first-class fierce generals fighting in front of each other, no matter whether they win or lose, it is enough to feast their eyes.

Yang Xuangan's heart was full of desire to compete with a strong enemy at this time, and the black-faced Wang Ba impressed him deeply, and the Shuozhou cavalry that could defeat Yang Yichen in the front, this Yang Liang's dragoon guard was indeed worthy of its reputation, and the battle with the fierce enemy could really burst out of Yang Xuangan's deep passion.

Yang Xuangan had never fought against a real strong enemy since the first war with the Turks five years ago, and the battle of the raid on the camp of Su Dangui last month made him not interested, that kind of one-sided slaughter was not what people like him wanted, and only a head-on confrontation with a strong enemy could boil his blood as a warrior.

Before leaving the city, there were hundreds of sergeants, driving thousands of cattle and sheep out of the city, Yang Xuan felt strange in his heart, and asked the sergeants who drove the sheep what they were doing, and the sergeant only said that he was ordered by Yang Yichen to use these cattle and sheep to go out to inspire the army.

Wang Shichong at the head of the city is also strange: even if the three armies are rewarded, they should kill cattle and sheep before leaving the city, so that the soldiers can have a full meal.

There are some soldiers guarding the city in the city whispering that Yang Yichen is a Xianbei person, the people on the grassland are driving the cattle and sheep all over the mountains and fields, often after a battle, the defeated side was killed but thousands of people, but the captured cattle and sheep were to be counted in 100,000, it seems that Yang Yichen grew up in the Han Palace since childhood. I still can't get rid of the habits of the Hu people in my bones.

Yang Xuangan finally waited for this army of cattle and sheep to leave the city. Just as he was about to order the troops to follow up. I saw six or seven prisoner carts following closely behind the army of cattle and sheep.

Several people in the prisoner car were in rags, with a big dead word written on the front of their clothes, and a prisoner word written on the back of their hearts. Looks much thicker than a normal soldier.

Yang Xuan was at a loss, first the troops went out of the city, and then drove a few prisoner cars out, I really don't know what kind of trouble this Yang Yichen is going to make, he sighed, and after the prisoner car left the camp, he made sure that no one left the city, so he led five thousand Xiaoguo out of the city slowly, and only began to set up five miles away from Yang Yichen's rear army.

Ten miles away from Yang Yichen's army, the enemy's camp tent also began to be busy. The sound of trumpets and war drums was mixed with the rough shouts of the governors and their troops, and the neighing of their horses. There was a loud bang.

Yang Yichen's big banner embroidered with the word "Yang" was at the front of the camp, and he began to gallop in front of the army, alternating between Xianbei and Chinese, and the soldiers cheered everywhere he passed.

Yang Xuangan saw that the prisoner carts began to be escorted to the front of the formation, and the cattle and sheep were far away towards a valley a few miles away on the right, and he couldn't help but move in his heart, bowed his head and explained to Xiong Kuohai a few words, asking him to temporarily take care of the troops in front of him, and ran directly towards Yang Yichen with a black cloud's belly.

From the gap between the infantry team in the back row, Yang Xuangan ran to Yang Yichen's side, Yang Yichen saw Yang Xuangan, first a flurry, and then a trace of displeasure came to his face, and he didn't say hello, and said directly: "Xuangan, didn't you make an appointment with me to sweep the formation in the back and not interfere in the battle of our Shuozhou army?" ”

Yang Xuangan smiled slightly: "This is natural, since we discussed it last night, I won't regret it, it's just ......" Yang Xuangan took two steps forward and whispered to Yang Yichen: "Brother Yichen, can you tell me a thing or two about your fighting style and battle plan?" Even though I'm in a sweep formation, I need to know when to step forward to answer. ”

Yang Yichen laughed: "Xuan Gan, although you are not very old, you can also be regarded as a battlefield general, when to take over and when to press the formation, do you still need me to sue you?" ”

Yang Xuangan shook his head with a smile, looked at the cattle and sheep that had already walked to the valley to the west, and said: "From yesterday to now, you have been unwilling to tell us your battle plan, today's style, the enemy is strong and I am weak, even if my Xiaoguo Iron Horse joins the battle, it may not be able to say that it will win, but you are so confident, I am afraid that this mystery is in those thousands of cattle and sheep." ”

Yang Yichen hurriedly made a silent gesture, glanced at the soldiers behind him, and saw that they all looked calm, it should not have heard Yang Xuangan's words, he glanced at Yang Xuangan, walked forward dozens of steps, and then sighed: "Xuangan really has the magic of the art of war of the Yue Guogong, it seems that he can't hide anything from you." ”

Yang Xuangan put away his smiling face and said, "Could it be that Brother Yichen wants to learn from Tiandan's fire bull plan during the Warring States Period?" Tie knives to the horns of the oxen and sheep, and light a fire on the buttocks to disrupt the enemy? ”

Yang Yichen shook his head: "I thought of this method, but it didn't work, the enemy army is an elite division, if our army takes the initiative to attack, they will definitely defend first, with chariots and bows and crossbows in front, the fire ox and fire sheep are afraid that they will be shot if they can't get close to the enemy." ”

A trace of disappointment flashed on Yang Xuangan's face, and then asked, "Then if the two armies are fighting, what if you use this trick again?" ”

Yang Yichen nodded: "It's a little close to my idea, it's just that when the two armies are fighting, the fire bull rushes wildly, and it will rush to the enemy, and it can also rush to our army, but the gains still outweigh the losses." ”

"My idea is to let those hundreds of sergeants carry more war drums and hang branches behind the cattle and sheep, yesterday I observed the celestial phenomena, and in another hour or so, the north wind will blow, and then I will let the sergeants in the valley beat the war drums and drive the cattle and sheep to run, so that the sky is full of smoke and dust, and the enemy army does not know the reality of our army, and it will inevitably be frightened, and then the whole army will collapse."

Yang Xuangan's face was full of admiration, and he praised: "Brother Yichen is really powerful, this method can be thought of, Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide in the Three Kingdoms used this trick in front of Dangyang Changhanpo, but I didn't expect to copy it for your brother today." ”

Yang Yichen laughed: "This also has to blow the north wind, but now it's the south wind, so you can't use this plan at all." If the north wind blows slowly, then I'll be in trouble here, Xuangan, and I'll ask you to do me a favor when the time comes. ”

Yang Xuangan waved his hand: "You and I are brothers who have died together on the battlefield." Needless to say, so politely. Whatever you want me to do, just ask. ”

Yang Yichen was silent for a long time. Raising his head, he gritted his teeth and looked at the front of the enemy army on the opposite side, Wang Ba, who was galloping back and forth on his horse and eager to try, said hatefully: "Wang Ba, the general of the enemy army, is strong in martial arts, and has the courage of ten thousand people, and my brother Yang Sien was killed in his hands yesterday." Xuan Gan, you are the number one brave general in the world, can you fight with this thief in front of the battle today, if you can cut him off the horse, the enemy will be angry! ”

Yang Xuangan also turned his head to look at Wang Ba, and his eyes gradually shone brightly: "Brother Yichen, the junior brother came to you for this, I know that you must have a strange plan to defeat the enemy army, but I will not fight with you for this credit, I want it." Yang Xuangan's arm was raised high, and the horsewhip was pointed directly at Wang Ba: "It's just Wang Ba's life!" ”

Yang Yichen laughed: "Xuangan." You must be able to, but you must guard against the treacherous tricks of Wang Ba, this person is not only strong in martial arts, but also extremely scheming, yesterday Sien was his way, was plotted to die. You have to be careful. ”

Yang Xuangan nodded vigorously and said, "When I go back and get the weapon, I will come to fight him." Without waiting for Yang Yichen to speak again, he slapped Heiyun's ass and ran straight back.

Yang Yichen shouted at Yang Xuangan's distant figure: "Xuangan, before coming here in a while, I will teach you to watch a good show!" ”

Yang Xuangan's whole body was neatly draped, put on a gold noodle dangle, put on an iron tire bow, raised a stainless steel lance, and the double-ball nail head chain flail hammer was also placed on the left side of the saddle.

I saw that in front of the battle at this time, the south wind was blowing, and the big flag embroidered with the word "Yang" was blown to the north, and the sand and dust all over the ground were wrapped in this strong wind and blew towards the soldiers in the front row, and everyone's faces and eyebrows were like a layer of golden sand.

There was a corpse wrapped in a white cloth on the ground, and Liu Wuzhou, who had seen him yesterday, was standing silently beside the corpse, and the prisoner carts had been opened, and the strong men of the death row prisoners with scattered hair were kneeling on the ground, all of them were pressed on the shoulders by two axe hands, one on the left and one on the right.

Yang Yichen had already taken off his helmet, his hair was scattered, his thick long black hair was fluttering in the wind, and his eyes were already full of tears, as soon as he saw Yang Xuangan, he couldn't hold back the pain in his heart anymore, and cried loudly, crying while pounced on the corpse.

Yang Xuangan suddenly realized that the corpse was Yang Sien, and hurriedly thrust the lance into the ground, jumped off the horse, and rushed to the white cloth, just as the wind blew the white cloth covering the corpse's face, with a black face and beard, his eyes were wide open, and his steel teeth were still clenching tightly, could it be Yang Sien?

Wang Shichong's eyes were very good, every move in the miles outside the city was in sight, he looked from a distance, only to see Yang Xuangan lift the white cloth, only to see Yang Sien's body densely inserted dozens of crossbow arrows, all of which were shot at close range, there was no way to avoid it, and the whole body had been shot with blood and flesh blurred, which showed how tragic his death was.

Wang Shichong was silent, Yang Yichen suddenly jumped up, pointed at the death row prisoners and shouted: "It's all you cowards, greedy for life and afraid of death, and escaped from the battle, so that General Yang died in battle like this, and if you don't punish a few of you according to military law, how can you be worthy of General Yang's spirit in the sky?" Come on, all of them will be cut in half! ”

The death row inmates suddenly raised their heads and screamed indistinctly, but they couldn't say a word clearly, Wang Shichong's face sank like water, he knew that the tongues of these people had been cut off.

More than a dozen fierce warriors rushed out of the formation, and with the sword and axe hands just now, they firmly pressed the limbs of these people, and let them lie face down on the ground. Six or seven executioners with long axes came over with a sinister smile on their faces.

Wang Shichong figured out Yang Yichen's plan this time, it turned out that Yang Yichen asked Liu Wuzhou to go to the enemy army overnight yesterday to redeem Yang Sizhang's body, and then killed the deserters in front of the battle, in order to boost the morale of his own side as much as possible.

Wang Shichong looked at Yang Yichen in the distance, and secretly said in his heart, this person is really a general, and in the future, he must find a way to win over this talent.

At this time, Yang Yichen took advantage of the situation to get on the horse and shouted: "Shuozhou Erlang, are you afraid of death?!" ”

The words fell along with six or seven bright axes, and the screams of the deserters were suddenly drowned out by the sound of 20,000 people in unison: "Wind! Wind! Wind! ”

Yang Yichen's speckled brown-maned horse galloped in front of the formation, and his voice drifted far to the rear of the military formation: "Are you afraid of death?!" ”

"Wind! Wind! Wind! Wave after wave of roars accompanied by the sound of swords hitting shields and guns hitting the ground, the blood and heat emitted by 20,000 erlang almost melted this battlefield, and the sound of gongs and drums in the rebel formation on the opposite side was suddenly suppressed and almost inaudible.

Yang Yichen ran back to the bottom of the handsome banner again, his eyes were full of murderous energy, the bright red helmet was like a burning flame, "choking", Yang Yichen took out the sword on his waist, and pointed directly at the steel army array ten miles away from the opposite side that was under the rising sun, the flash of the armor and spear could almost brighten the blind, and with all the strength of his body, he roared hoarsely: "Are you afraid of death?!" (To be continued......)
