Chapter 46: Sneak Attack on Chengdu
"Quick, quick, quick, keep up." A hurried shout sounded on the road from Tuojiang to Chengdu City, but it was Yang Ren's voice. At this time, the front of the fast horse was running back to a team, but the person at the head was Cai Yang, I saw Cai Yang fast horse coming to Yang Ren's side, out of breath but extremely excited: "General Yang, all the local fast horse scouts have been taken, hahaha, Chengdu will never get any news." ”
Cai Yang said, Yang Ren also couldn't hide his joy, Tuojiang 500 men and horses couldn't resist the impact of the 4,000 army, only a while by Cai Yang and Yang Ren rushed to the opposite bank, at this time Cai Yang just went to chase the enemy's fast horse back, Yang Ren also shouted loudly: "General Cai, the army has already marched in, did not stay by the Tuojiang River, but unfortunately a lot of weapons and equipment have not had time to pick up." After breaking up the enemy's 500 people, Yang Ren didn't have time to clean up the battlefield, and immediately waved his army forward, thinking of the messy enemy materials on the ground, Yang Ren complained.
Cai Yang laughed and said, "General Yang, isn't there more in Chengdu City, hahaha." The two of them regained a sense of greed, Yang Ren looked up at a few war horses behind Cai Yang and said: "General Cai, send these cavalry out, chase and kill the rout who fled to the direction of Chengdu, if Chengdu City does not find out, maybe our army can still deceive the city gate, so there is no need to attack." Cai Yang nodded, turned around and signaled to the cavalry behind him, and left with a whistle.
At this time, in the upper reaches of the Tuojiang River, Zhou Cang led Chen Lin's nearly 100 cavalry guards as the vanguard, and saw that he was about to rush into the 500 army formation in front of Yang Huai's Shuai Qi array. Unexpectedly, Yang Huai, who was in despair, gritted his teeth and ordered: "After ordering the left and right wings to leave 800 breaks, the rest will shrink the Chinese army, quickly, and the enemy must not break through the Shuai banner." As soon as Yang Huai gave the order, the two divisions that fought fiercely with Gao Shun and Chen Guo immediately left nearly a thousand men and horses to fight to the death, and the rest rushed towards the middle, that is, Chen Lin's recruits. Jia Xu's eyes were sharp, and he exclaimed: "Lord, quickly let Commander Zhou withdraw." Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, looked up at the left and right wings, and was also frightened, and hurriedly beckoned the herald. Zhou Cang, who had not yet started his excitement, was called back, and there were still fifty steps to Yang Huai's Shuai Banner, but unfortunately, Zhou Cang thought so, in Zhou Cang's eyes, the five hundred people in front of the Shuai Qi were a fart.
Zhou Cang's cavalry was stunned, turned around and retreated, and only a few dozen steps came into contact with Chen Lin's foot soldiers and formed a new formation. As soon as Yang Huai saw it, he had a good opportunity and immediately let the soldiers and horses rescued on both wings gather in front of the handsome banner, and suddenly there were more than 3,000 soldiers and horses, nearly 4,000. But Yang Huai couldn't be happy anyway, looking at the left and right flanks now, he knew that after the army withdrew to rescue Yang Huai, the people and horses left behind were basically slaughtered by the trapped camp. Yang Huai wanted to cry without tears, and 6,000 people did this to Chen Lin's 3,000-strong army plus 2,000 recruits. The frequent screams on both sides made the 4,000 people gathered in front of the Shuai Qi also panic, and the dead were all Chengdu soldiers and horses. Yang Huai didn't think about taking the opportunity to kill Chen Lin's Chinese army and fighting for his life, but seeing that the two wings were absolutely unable to resist Gao Shun and Chen Guo, if Yang Huai was fighting fiercely with Chen Lin in the middle, the two wings were trapped in the camp from behind, then Yang Huai would really be wiped out. Yang Huai didn't want to or dare to bet on this, withdrawing troops, Yang Huai didn't dare to think about it, withdrawing with 4,000 people, chasing 3,000 people behind him, even if he returned to Chengdu, he was afraid that Yang Huai would not have the face to be a man, let alone whether the eldest prince would let him go.
Jia Xu: "Lord, the situation is favorable to our army, Lord, look at it, the recruits of our army did not rush over when they saw the enemy, but it was just a false alarm, these recruits have seen the battlefield, and they are not so afraid at this time." Also, the two wings were about to be broken by the trapped camp, and at that time Yang Nianxian was attacked on three sides, at this time, Yang Nianxian's best way was to withdraw his troops, withdraw four or five miles first, and then fight with our army from the new arrangement to have a chance to win, but Yang Nianxian's appearance did not look like he was going to withdraw his troops. "Not to mention four or five miles, even if Yang Huai takes a few hundred steps back and returns to the barracks, it would be good to trap the camp and attack the river beach and stabilize his foothold, then Yang Huai's confrontation with the trapped camp in this section of the river beach has already been regarded as a failure.
In fact, it was not that Yang Huai didn't want to retreat, Yang Huai glanced at the person who was ten steps away, protected by more than a dozen fresh-clothed angry armor guards, and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, Zhou Mu didn't believe in himself after all, it turned out that the person was the person sent by Liu Yan to supervise the army. Yang Huai sneered a few times, he didn't understand the fart and wanted to point fingers all day long, and he wanted to slash him with a knife.
Under the city of Chengdu, it was already night, and the songworms began to be happy, but they were so frightened by the sudden murderous aura that they didn't dare to make a sound. Two miles outside the dark city of Chengdu, Cai Yang and Yang Ren got off their horses and lay on the back of the bushes and stared straight at the city. In the end, Yang Ren spoke: "General Cai, looking at the appearance of Chengdu City, the enemy really doesn't know that our army is already here. Cai Yang raised his hand and said: "That is, no matter how fast people run, there is no horse fast, and those who dare to run to Chengdu are all dead, and Chengdu City naturally doesn't know." Then Cai Yang said: "Rest, let the army rest for half an hour." Yang Ren hurriedly shouted: "General Cai can't, half an hour is too variable, and it is the best time in front of us, although the army is in a one-day journey, but the temptation of Chengdu City is more effective than resting for two days, General Cai looks at them." ”
The two looked back at the army behind them, and saw that everyone's eyes were as bright as wolf eyes, and they did not hide their greed for Chengdu City. Cai Yang scolded secretly, thinking that what Yang Ren said made sense, so he turned back to Yang Ren and said: "General Yang, Chengdu is prosperous, if the army attacks the city, it must not ruin the reputation of the lord, so I want to set up a supervision team, if there are soldiers who take advantage of the chaos and violate discipline, they will be severely punished, and General Yang must also cooperate in this matter." Yang Ren nodded, every time a place is captured, there will always be some soldiers who take advantage of the chaos to make profits, and they both know that Chen Lin will be in charge of Shuzhong in the future, and he must not lose the hearts of the people in Shuzhong.
In the silent darkness, Cai Yang personally led two hundred dead soldiers to be short, all of them were light and short-armed, all of them were as light as swallows, sometimes running, sometimes waiting on the ground, and it took half an hour to walk a mile away and come to the city wall. The occasional sound could still be heard on the wall, and there was a hint of chill in the spring breeze, and the night watch soldiers on the wall hid in the castle tower to drink and chat, and only one or two came out to take a look from time to time.
Cai Yang heard two voices at this time, it seemed that one was old and one young, and the younger said: "Uncle Liu, don't you want to patrol, how can you go back?" The old one is probably Uncle Liu, and said: "Hehe, young man, General Yang is guarding the Tuojiang River, and the south is the heavy army of the State Pastor to attack Jiangyang, how can there be any war in Chengdu, if you want to stay here and freeze, you can stay." As he spoke, he heard a clang, like the sound of a door opening and closing, and then two footsteps gradually approached the tower. Cai Yang waved his hand, and more than 20 people rushed out and took a bundle of reins from their backs, and more than a dozen people dragged more than a dozen huge bamboos over. The skillful binding of this group of people turned into five or six simple ladders in an instant, and the feelings of these bamboos were all processed.
Yang Ren kept looking around more than a mile outside the city, and he couldn't see anything in the black rumbling, so he walked around in a hurry. A cronie grabbed Yang Ren and said, "General, don't be in such a hurry, the general is in a hurry, everyone is in a hurry." Yang Ren glared angrily, exhaled and lay on the ground to listen to the movement in the direction of the city gate. Suddenly, seeing the noise of the city wall near the city gate, Yang Ren was startled, jumped up from the ground, and looked, shouting killing, it was the sound of shouting killing, and it must have been discovered. Yang Ren immediately turned around and shouted: "The army listens to the order." The four thousand army exhaled as if it had grown out of the ground, and suddenly appeared, and there were many war horses, which were clearly visible at this time. Cai Yang was discovered, at this time he must start rushing over, the one-mile journey takes time, even if Cai Yang fails to open the city gate in the end, he can take the opportunity to attack.
Cai Yang's name as a sword saint was not blown out, but seeing Cai Yang taking the lead, a tiger head knife was impenetrable, and those who touched it were either killed or injured. The thing is because no one expected that one of the defenders would fall asleep behind the battlements at the head of the city, and one of Cai Yang's soldiers stepped on someone's foot, so the defenders were alarmed. At this time, Cai Yang didn't say a word, ignored the defenders on the city wall, and led the army straight down the city wall, with only one goal, the city gate, open the city gate. As long as the city gate was opened, the defenders in Chengdu did not know the truth, and Yang Ren led the troops to rush in, but it was decided in a battle.
The distance of one hundred steps made half of Cai Yang's two hundred people, and finally killed under the city gate, Cai Yang shouted: "Thirty people open the door, the rest hold on, and General Yang will arrive in a moment." "It didn't take a moment, Yang Ren couldn't wait to lead his troops to rush over at this time, the sound of killing shook the sky, Cai Yang was shocked, so fast? couldn't help shouting again: "Quick, General Yang is just outside the door, open the enlarged army and enter the city, and tens of thousands of troops will enter the city." "Of course, Cai Yang's soldiers and horses know what tens of thousands, just four thousand. However, at this time, a small colonel who arrived was frightened, and hurriedly flew on his horse, but galloped towards the city.
Cai Yang's pressure is getting bigger and bigger, Cai Yang doesn't dare to kill all the enemies around him, he is afraid that the enemy will shoot arrows, as long as there are enemy troops around him, the enemy army is at least a little hesitant. There are at least nearly a thousand people in front of him who want to rush over, and one general can kill ten people and hundreds of people, but in the face of thousands of troops, no matter how brave the characters are, they can't resist. Cai Yang retreated again and again, and his subordinates also suffered heavy casualties, and now there are basically only thirty or forty people left.
"Bang-dang", Cai Yang's most anticipated voice sounded, this is the city gate crosswood landing, and I heard the soldiers shouting: "Pull" A burst of fire entered the city gate, but it was the torch raised by Yang Ren's army. Cai Yang smiled, Chengdu, hahaha, just as Cai Yang was laughing, a sharp sword behind him stabbed Cai Yang in the shoulder. Cai Yang's laughter turned into an "ah", Cai Yang was furious, and when he turned around, he was stabbed, and the man was split in half. Yang Ren, who was riding on a horse, was greeted with excitement, and saw that Cai Yang was injured and was about to speak. Cai Yang shouted: "Don't care, kill in." Yang Ren looked at it and shouted: "Kill" Cai Yang's guards rushed over to protect Cai Yang, and some hurriedly bandaged Cai Yang.
The sound of killing at the city gate had already alarmed the people in the center of the city, and at this time, Liu Fan was hurrying out of his mansion, and at this time, the little school who rushed back from the city gate shouted bloodlessly: "Prince, escape, tens of thousands of troops, have entered the city." ”
