Feng Xiaoci broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, and he didn't dare to speak anymore, so he bowed and retreated. And Shangguan Zheng knew that Yang Su's murderous intent was irreparable, and even Feng Xiaoci, who was talking to the gang, begged for fifty military sticks in vain, if he, the chief officer, tried to save the lives of his subordinates again, I am afraid that his own head would not be protected.

So Shangguan Zheng secretly sighed and said: "Marshal, the last general is not strict in governing the army, misunderstands the military order, delays the assembly of the army, and asks you to punish it." ”

Yang Su said coldly: "General Shangguan, your affairs are much more powerful than Feng Sima, this marshal is ordered to control the army, and has the right to act cheaply, that is, now he beheaded you for the crime of delaying the military aircraft, and it is also within the scope of this cheap action, but now he is facing a decisive battle, and the general before the battle is unfavorable to the army, so I will send you this head for the time being, and after the war, this commander will be the son of heaven, and he will determine the punishment for you." ”

Shangguan Zheng gritted his teeth and arched his hand: "Thank you for the grace of not killing!" ”

Yang Su snorted heavily, and no longer looked at the official government, and said to the law enforcement officer beside him: "These three hundred sergeants are greedy for life and afraid of death, afraid of the enemy like tigers, and their behavior has also affected the assembly time of the army. ”

When the law officer got the order, he immediately shouted loudly: "The commander has an order, the three hundred sergeants of the Yongzi battalion, fear the enemy first, the slow army last, behead in front of the army, there must be no mistake!" ”

Before the three hundred people could react, they didn't even have time to beg for mercy or scold, and the Chinese guards standing beside them had already drawn their bright broadswords. Chop off the head in unison. Three hundred human heads are like three hundred watermelons. Rolling all over the ground, the corpse collapsed limply to the ground.

Not all the soldiers saw the scene of the man's head falling to the ground, but all the soldiers saw the three hundred large knives that flashed with cold light, raised high, and then fell heavily.

In the morning light through the mist, the knives were already stained with blood when they were raised again, and the soldiers were all professional in fighting and killing, and they knew what was going on when they saw this frame. The four words of military orders are deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts.

Soon, the law enforcement soldiers picked up the heads, rode to the front of the teams, and showed the faces with different expressions, anger, consternation, grievance, unwillingness, and all kinds of expressions in life, all reflecting the psychology of the owner of the head at the moment before death.

The rabbit died and the fox was sad, and the other soldiers saw these sergeants who were arrogant and domineering not long ago, and crowded at the gate of the camp to grab the qualification to guard the camp, and they were all afraid to submit to Yang Su's majesty as the commander. Everyone didn't dare to take a breath, and waited for Yang Su's order with sincere fear.

Yang Su watched with satisfaction as the soldiers reacted. Murder is always the best means of strict military discipline.

He cleared his throat, his speech was not fast, and his voice was not very high, but it revealed an irrefutable and unquestionable majesty: "The whole army obeyed the order, received the long lances brought by the cavalry in order, lined up in a gun array, and ordered all to rush to the enemy camp ten miles away within one hour. ”

"The infantry was in the center, the cavalry was on the flanks, and as soon as the commander gave the order, the whole army marched with drums and advanced towards the enemy camp. The fighters are arrayed in front, and those who bravely kill the enemy in this battle will definitely play the Ming court, and there will be many rewards! And those who retreat without hearing the sound of Mingjin will end up with these 300 people! ”

All the people were silent, quietly listening to Yang Su's order, Yang Su glanced at Yang Xuangan who was standing on the side, nodded, and said, "Let's start distributing weapons!" ”

An hour later, five miles north of the exit on the north side of the Huoshan Gorge, 37,000 Sui troops had all been deployed.

The 27,000 infantry in the center were dressed in leather armor and held mounted shields, and the 20,000 soldiers in front held heavy cavalry more than four meters long.

The soldiers in the back row put their long lances on the shoulders of their comrades in the front row, and marched slowly but firmly, like a mountain of guns, towards the rebel camp five miles away.

After the 20,000 lancers, there were 7,000 sword and axe men, all of whom went into battle shirtless, each armed with a two-handed battle axe and a broadsword, and their eyes were full of fierce killing intent.

The Xiaoguo cavalry on both flanks also formed a tight cavalry formation, no more than three steps apart horizontally, all armed with sabers, heavy swords, maces, war hammers, hand axes, steel whips, copper maces and other melee weapons.

Yang Su looked at Yang Xuangan, who had been guarding his side, and smiled: "Is today the first time that my father and son are in the command position together?" ”

Yang Xuangan nodded: "Yes, in the previous battles, it was the father who ordered the commander to protect the Chinese army, and the child charged ahead, so the child didn't understand why his father didn't let me charge in front of me today as usual, and kill happily." ”

Yang Su glanced at Yang Xuangan, and said earnestly: "In the past, you were asked to rush to the front to fight for fame, and to block the mouths of those who said that I Yang Su was engaged in nepotism and let my son take on the leadership merit and mixed title, but today is different from usual, the battle merit and the head are not the first, and the father hopes that you can control the entire battle situation in the position of the boss in the future." ”

Yang Su pointed to the figure that was gradually hidden in the morning mist, and only the sound of earth-shaking neat and orderly steps could be heard, and said, "If it were you, how would you command this battle?" ”

Yang Xuangan's face became stern, he had never watched the battle from the position of the coach like today, and today he reminded his father like this, so he really felt that this was completely different from the perspective from which he charged forward in every battle.

In the past, he only had hundreds or thousands of enemies in front of him, and at most no more than 10,000, but now, in the company camp of the enemy army in the valley for dozens of miles, the sound of screams, whistles, and drums and horns has become one, and the entire rebel army has fallen into a panic, and now how to command the 40,000 troops on his side is really difficult for himself.

Yang Xuangan thought about it seriously and said to Yang Su: "The enemy army has fallen into chaos, and now it can be judged from the voices in their camp. There was no clear command of the enemy forces. It was our army that made a big move. It's a good time to get into the enemy line, and if I were the commander, I would now order the whole army to assault! ”

Yang Su smiled and waved his hand: "Although the enemy army has panicked, there is still a whistle, indicating that their grassroots officers from the team to the brigade commander level are still trying to gather the team and stabilize the situation." ”

"In addition, the mouth of this valley is very narrow, and the width is only half a mile, and the front of our army's more than 30,000 people is now lined up three miles wide. Even if you order a surprise attack, it is just that the thousands of people in front can kill the enemy camp, and it will not cause much success, if the enemy army sees that we have few people, stabilize and organize a counterattack, it will be counterproductive. ”

Yang Xuangan nodded and said, "It's still Father Shuai who is thoughtful, by the way, the 10,000 archers you brought this time are not here now." Have you already occupied the commanding heights on the cliff and are ready to use it for writing? ”

Yang Su smiled: "Not bad." There was progress, and the father did make an agreement with them, raising fire as a trumpet, and releasing a rain of arrows to the enemy camp, while the three thousand infantry troops guarding them were ready with gongs and drums. ”

"At that time, these 3,000 infantry troops are in full swing, and the valley is surrounded by high mountains on both sides, which can form an echo, and the effect of forming is far greater than that of these 3,000 gongs and drums. We were lucky enough to have no enemy garrison on the cliff here, and this strategic point was a no-brainer. ”

After Yang Su finished speaking, he gave an order to the herald behind him: "Light three fires on the left side, and be sure to let the brothers on the cliff see it!" ”

Suddenly, three piles of fire rose into the sky, and almost at the same time as the firelight was lit, the sound of feather arrows breaking through the air on the high cliff in the distance was endless, and it was mixed with the sound of many rolling logs and stones falling from the height and smashing heavily to the ground and running, and the whistles and passwords in the enemy camp were soon drowned out by the cries and screams.

A cold killing intent appeared on Yang Su's face, he raised the horsewhip in his hand, pointed to the army formation that was gradually moving away in front of him, and said: "Xuan Gan, you see, at this time, our army's army formation has advanced to less than a mile away from the enemy camp, do you still want to kill the enemy camp at this time?" ”

Yang Xuangan shook his head with a smile: "The brothers in the high places are bathing the enemy army with a rain of arrows and rolling stones, at this time, if we let our army rush into the enemy camp, we will only kill our own people, this kind of loss-making business must not be done." Father, the reason why you insist on replacing the infantry with cavalry is to block the front with a gun array, so that the enemy has nowhere to escape. ”

Yang Su stroked his snow-white hair with satisfaction, and said, "You can finally figure this out, go on!" ”

Yang Xuangan nodded, and said: "The infantry army guards the front with a gun array and a big shield, and the two wings of the cavalry protrude forward and turn backwards to form a pocket formation, and the stragglers who escape from the enemy army cannot form an organized assault, and without the alternate cover of the infantry and cavalry bows and arrows, it is impossible to rush out of this pocket formation, come one to kill one, come to two to kill a pair!" ”

Yang Su continued to stroke his hair and smiled, and said: "But the cavalry's lance has been given to the infantry, and they can't use the spear array to resist the front now, nor can they gallop back and forth, Xuangan, in your opinion, how can the pockets on both sides be tightened?" ”

Yang Xuangan said: "Although the cavalry's lance is gone, but the three-shot cavalry crossbow is still there, now there is fog, the enemy can't see the reality in front of it, you can let the cavalry dismount and fight, listen to the sound and distinguish people, the enemy is far away with a crossbow shot, close behind the knife to cut and hammer, anyway, the enemy is in a hurry to escape, it is impossible to advance in a gun array, and it is impossible to have a large-scale bow and crossbow array to break through the front of the infantry defense, and can only be slaughtered in this pocket." ”

Yang Xuangan glanced up at the army formation that had walked out of dozens of steps, and said, "Moreover, if the enemy soldiers die too much, the corpses will affect the actions of the people behind, and even block their escape passages." By the way, father, the big camp opposite Fenshui should also be prepared and ready to be prepared, if the enemy army cannot break through from here, the dog may jump over the wall and run away. ”

Yang Su smiled and said: "There is General Zhou in the front, our movement here is so big, the enemy army is now blowing up in the entire valley, General Zhou must have known that we are doing it here, presumably at this time, the enemy wants to forcibly escape from the front and cross the Fenshui, I am afraid that after this battle, their corpses can stuff the Fenshui without flowing." ”

Yang Xuangan said with a smile: "That's right, before we left, my father said that the water level of this Fenshui is high, and whoever wants to attack will definitely be defeated, not to mention that the enemy army suddenly changes, and it is impossible to attack in an organized and planned formation." At most, they just swarmed for their lives. As long as General Zhou is not confused. It is almost impossible for them to break through from the front. ”

Yang Su put away his smile and said to the row of heralds behind him: "Order, the cavalry on both wings advanced fifty paces, the central infantry stopped, lined up in a defensive formation, and the cavalry turned sideways after approaching the foot of the mountain, dismounted and fought on foot, and pressed the position with a crossbow." Not a single enemy soldier is allowed to break through. ”

More than a dozen heralds shouted: "Order!" After saying that, he mounted his horse and moved forward quickly, and after a while, he heard only the whistles and horns in the military formation in front of him, and in the fog and shadows, it was vaguely seen that the infantry had stopped advancing and began to lay a defensive formation on the spot.

The cavalry sped up and rushed forward, the sound of horses' hooves became one, and after a while, with the sound of a rattling of armor leaves, Yang Xuangan knew that the knights in the front row had all dismounted and prepared to fight on foot. The pockets were fully tied, just waiting for the enemy to rush out and send them to their deaths.

Yang Su suddenly turned his head and looked behind. After a deep sigh, he said to the two remaining heralds beside him: "Order, all the guards of the Chinese army turned around and lined up in the rear, with the infantry in front, and the cavalry defended the two wings, so that the sword and axe hands behind the infantry in front of the formation will be transferred to defend three thousand people to turn around and defend, in case the enemy comes to help from the direction of Huozhou." ”

Yang Xuangan nodded: "It is true that we want to guard against the enemy in the rear when they hear the fierce battle in the valley, but can two thousand Chinese guards and three thousand sword and axe men defend against it?" ”

Yang Su waved his hand: "Now the fog is full, it will take at least an hour for the enemy to come to help from Huozhou, and their defenders are less than 10,000 people, and there are more than 5,000 people to defend. ”

A hint of disappointment flashed in Yang Xuan's heart, and he was a little regretful that he couldn't rush to the front line in person in such a wonderful battle.

But this disappointment was only a fleeting moment, Yang Xuangan knew that the overall situation was important, and arched his hand: "Obey the orders of my father." A black cloud shouted: "All the sons of the Chinese army, come with me!" He rushed out first.

The two thousand guards beside Yang Su rode the auxiliary horses left by the Xiaoguo guards, and rushed out closely following Yang Xuangan, and soon, the three thousand infantry sword and axe men also rushed to the rear in formation.

Yang Xuangan stood at the rear of the entire formation, about a mile away from Yang Su's marshal's position, he also lined up the sword and axe men in the center of the formation, the two thousand cavalry were divided into two teams, scattered on both wings, and three horse rejection stakes were placed in front of the sword and axe hands.

These things were made by some craftsmen of the infantry last night in order to resist the frontal attack of the enemy's cavalry and spearmen, and to make up for the lack of long weapons and armor of the axemen, which was extremely unfavorable in battle.

Yang Xuangan listened to the sound of different rhythms blown by the horns of the heralds beside Yang Su behind him, and knew that this was a military order being issued, because he was fighting in the fog, he could not use the flag to indicate the soldiers in front of him, so he used the horn to give orders instead.

"The infantry of the front army formed ten columns of guns, with shields in front, in dense formations, and stationed in place!"

"The cavalry on both wings dismounted, and the heavy armor and crossbows guarded the flanks!"

"The archers at the top of the mountain switched to rockets for ten rounds of arrow rain attacks, and the tail of the bow and arrow was loaded with poisonous smoke, and the enemy army was completely driven out of the valley!"

"The infantry on the hill mostly threw dead branches and trees into the valley that caused fire."

"The defensive forces in the rear scattered scout rangers ten miles ahead to monitor the enemy's troops attacking from Huozhou."

When Yang Xuangan heard the last military order, he hurriedly gave an order to the heralds around him, and sent twenty horsemen to gallop in the direction of Huozhou City in the north.

Yang Xuangan had just arranged this qiē, only to hear the cries and screams in the valley getting louder and louder, completely overpowering the whistles and the shouts and scolding of the officers.

With the unique sound of flames piercing the sky after the rockets left the string, a raging fire broke out in the valley, and even Yang Xuangan, who was five or six miles away from the fire, could feel the scorching heat from the mountain wind blowing over.

A spontaneous roar came from the valley: "Rush out of the valley, run for your life!" The footsteps of tens of thousands of people shook the earth, like an unstoppable angry wave, rushing towards the direction of the military formation.

Yang Xuangan couldn't help but turn his head to look, only to see a white fog, which was shining with fiery red light, it was a group of burning flames, and the panicked footsteps were accompanied by dense and sleek figures, surging desperately towards the outside of the valley.

Yang Xuangan vaguely saw that Yang Su slowly raised his right hand in the fog, raised it high above his head, and made a downward slashing gesture, Yang Xuangan remembered that just over an hour ago, when he ordered the execution of the three hundred sergeants guarding the camp, he did this gesture, and Yang Xuangan remembered it at that time, and remembered it fiercely.

The quiet army suddenly made a thunderous and angry sound, the infantry stomped their feet vigorously, the sword and axe men behind played the gongs and drums they carried with them, and the cavalrymen struck their shields with their swords, or struck their armor with the back of their swords, and even the war horses were infected by this feeling, and they all let out a long neigh, which suddenly seemed to have a hundred thousand troops guarding here, waiting for the enemy to burrow into their pockets and send them to death.
