Chapter 152: You're Worthy
On August 16, the ninth year of the Great Cause, the former commander of the Northeast Coalition Army of Goguryeo, Wang Guoda, the second son of Lu Yan, was killed in the Pure Land.
Two hours later, the commander of the rear army of the Goguryeo Northeast Coalition Army, the younger brother of Lu Yuanziyou, the commander of the Northeast Coalition Army, and the uncle of Yuan Taizuo, the commander of the Northeast Coalition Army, Yuan Gaitong was captured.
After Chen Kefu annihilated the Yuanjing Land, he began to move to the eastern mountain with his men and horses, which was the 8,000 men and horses of Yuangatong. It can be said that their strength is still very strong, but it is a pity that they were chased by tens of thousands of Sui troops at that time, and they had no time to sort out the formation, so they had to retreat to the mountains, wanting to reorganize the formation, and then fight to the death with the Sui army. However, the Sui army never gave them such a chance again.
They retreated up the mountain with their front feet, and with their back feet, the infantry of the Sui army who were carrying big swords and wearing thick armor had already surrounded them, surrounding the entire foot of the mountain dozens of layers. As soon as the array was ready, Yuan Gaitong led the soldiers and horses to charge, but he originally thought that he would march on horseback, or rush down from the hillside, and those Sui infantry should be crushed in one rush.
But it turned out that they were anchored, and he couldn't forget that scene for several days in a row, the cavalry had just rushed to the front of the Sui army more than a hundred paces, and behind those infantry was an overwhelming rain of arrows.
The dense rain of arrows caused heavy casualties among the cavalrymen at once, and groups of knights fell off their horses, and one by one the horses neighed and fell. With the 2,000 men and horses of the White Horse Battalion as the vanguard, followed by the two cadres and more cavalry of the tribe, followed by the elite infantry of the family of 4,000 people, those Liao people did not panic about the comrades who kept falling, but continued to rush forward one after another.
They believed that as long as they rushed in front of the Sui army, they would be able to break through the encirclement of the Sui army.
When they were still more than sixty steps away from the Sui infantry, several columns of infantry appeared behind those infantry, all of them were armed with crossbows, crossbows that could be fired in bursts, although the range was shorter than that of bows and arrows, but the rate of fire was faster, and one person could shoot three arrows in a short time.
The scene that had just happened happened to those cavalrymen again, and there was another scream and scream, and the crossbow arrows shot at close range made the Liao cavalry suffer more casualties than just now.
The rest of the cavalry did not flinch, they continued to rush forward, seeing that the war horses were stepping through the line of the Sui people, but the infantry who had not moved since then carried the broadsword moved.
With a loud roar in unison, all the infantry waved their swords neatly, a dazzling white light flashed, and the dozens of horsemen who rushed to the front were instantly split in half. The infantrymen took two steps back in unison, revealing a column of infantry behind them.
In addition to those infantry, the rest of the archers and crossbowmen just now also put down their bows and arrows at this time, and all picked up the rifles and spears beside them, and hid behind those heavily armored infantry, and there was a dazzling flash of white light, and dozens of cavalry fell, and the remaining cavalry that was not cut down was made up by those light infantry with rifles and spears.
With a long roar, another column of heavy infantry took two steps forward and swung a wall of swords in front of the formation.
Cavalry charge, sword wall advance!
The cavalry continues to storm, and the wall of swords continues to advance!
Although the cavalry's horses could knock down the heavy cavalry, and even their maces could wolf kill the Sui infantry hiding in turtle shells, their casualties were too great. The cavalry was completely unable to break through the Sui formation, and for every Sui soldier they killed, sometimes four or five people were killed.
In this hard-to-hard, blood and death collision, Yuan Gaitong was the first to retreat. Although his cavalry is elite and not afraid of death, it is not something that can be wasted like this. He reluctantly blew the horn of the army.
One, two, three, four, five, for five days in a row, he corrected his surprise attack to a night breakout. But the Sui army, which had time, had already dug a ditch at the foot of their mountain, buried spikes, deer feet, tripping horses, and even did not need to send out the infantry carrying broadswords.
On the fifth day, when the weather was clear, and the Sui army came with a large number of crossbow beds and catapults to persuade him to surrender, he also refused.
As a result, the Sui army didn't say a word, and directly came a rain of stone bullets and crossbow arrows, and the Liao people suffered hundreds of casualties in an instant.
On this unobstructed hillside, in less than two hours they would be wiped out.
Watching the elites of those families fall one by one, Yuan Gaitong's heart was dripping blood.
At this time, he had no hope of victory in this war, and gave orders to the soldiers around him to raise the white flag. ,
Yuan Gaitong walked down the hill with a few personal soldiers carrying white flags, holding a big knife in his hand, and said to the Sui soldiers who were waiting at the bottom of the mountain, "I want to see your commander!" I am the great nobleman of the kingdom, and I am the younger brother of the great lord of the kingdom! ”
When Chen Kefu heard that there was another big pair of Lu's relatives, he smiled, walked to the front, and said to the strong man, "If you want to fight, I will fight!" If you want to fall, Ben Shuai accepts! ”
Yuan Gaitong stared at a pair of big eyes, and said to Chen Kefu in an authentic Central Plains official language, "Are you the commander of the Sui army?"
By reporting his name, General Ben will know who the defeat will be. ”
The corners of Chen Kefu's mouth raised slightly, "This handsome line does not change his name, he does not change his surname, and Chen Pojun, who became famous in the battle of Liaohe, is below." Ben will be ordered by the Great Sui Emperor to build a military camp, attack the new city, capture the king of the new city Gao Qi, destroy him with 3,000 soldiers and 20,000 soldiers, and capture the new city without blood. Returning to Liaodong, he fought with 80,000 cavalry of Yizhi Wende in ** Mountain, and the commander broke through Yizhi 80,000 cavalry with 1,000 heavy cavalry. Turned to attack Liaodong, broke through Liaodong City with 10,000 cavalry, and all 100,000 defenders of Rongliu Wang Gao Jianwu were wiped out, and even he himself was killed by random arrows on the bank of the Daliangshui River. A few days ago, Ben Shuai lured 50,000 soldiers and civilians from Gao Zhen and Gao Yannian to the north of Liaodong City, and annihilated his entire army in Liaodong City. This time, he tricked 80,000 of you to go south, and was ambushed by Ben Shuai in the Jinshan Gorge. Today, Ben Shuai will wipe out all of you, those who descend will not die, and those who resist my Great Sui Tianwei will be killed! ”
Chen Kefu's words were true, nine points true, and one point false, but when he said it in front of these two armies, it suddenly confused Yuan Gaitong's heart.
The Sui army behind him was even more banged, and the three armies drank together.
"Long live the Great Sui, long live the emperor, the general is mighty, and the Northeast Army will win!"
Yuan Gaitong looked at everything in front of him with a pale face, he didn't want to believe that everything was true, but looking at the reactions of those Sui soldiers, what the Sui general said was not false. For a while, my heart was in turmoil, I was just stunned, and kept saying, "What you said is all false, fake, but I want to disturb our army's heart." ”
Chen Kefu laughed a few times, "I lied to you, do you think I need to lie to you." As long as Ben Shuai gives an order, ten thousand arrows will be fired at once, and killing you will only be a cup of tea. If it weren't for the fact that the general broke Liaodong City, where do you think the military order you received from Gao Jianwu came from? It was just a letter forged by Ben Shuai with his seal and the captives. By the way, let me tell you again, just now Ben Shuai has wiped out all the men and horses in the west, and the boss claimed to be the second son of Goguryeo's great voice before his death, Yuan Pure Land, isn't that your own nephew? ”
As soon as Yuan Gaitong heard that his nephew was dead, he was stunned for a moment, and roared angrily, "What happened to him?" ”
"It's nothing, he refused to surrender to Ben Shuai, so Ben Shuai had to order them all to be annihilated."
Yuan Gai Tongru was poured down by a basin of cold water, his eyes flashed with anger, he carried a big knife, and roared at Chen Kefu, "Chen Pojun, you killed my nephew, and you also killed so many of my Goguryeo people, you and I are destined to live only one today." Come on, duel! ”
After speaking, he brandished a big knife and threw himself at Chen Kefu. Before he could pounce on him, Chen Kefu's guard company commander Zhang Jin had already rushed up with several guards and pounced on him. He disarmed him in three or two strokes. Disarmed, the guards were still not satisfied, and punched and kicked him again.
"You're worthy of it!" Zhang Jin spat at Yuan Gaitong.
Chen Kefu waved his hand, "Okay, since they have all surrendered under the white flag, Ben Shuai will also keep his promise and spare their lives." The Chuanben will order them to be tied up and sent to the prisoner camp, and when they are later, they will all be sold to other tribes in Liaodong as slaves. ”
When Yuan Gaitong, who had already been dragged up, heard this, he opened his mouth angrily and shouted, "Chen Kefu, you promised not to kill us, but now you want to reduce us to slaves and sell us, you don't believe in your words." It's just that most of his full teeth have been knocked out at this time, and as soon as he speaks, it leaks.
"I only promised you not to kill you, but to spare your life. But Ben Shuai didn't say that you can't be reduced to slaves and sold, right? You can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, but if you talk nonsense like this, I can make false accusations and ruin my reputation, and I have the right to demand compensation. Bullying and bullying the Goguryeo people, Chen Kefu also felt a burst of refreshment in his heart.
Yuan Gaitong was about to vomit blood by Chen Kefu's words, but he couldn't say anything, seeing that he was about to be dragged down, he hurriedly shouted, "I can ask my eldest brother, that is, Wang Guoda, to agree to exchange prisoners with the Sui Dynasty." As if he was afraid that Chen Kefu would not agree, Yuan Gaijin added another bargaining chip and said, "We can also pay you a ransom, I am a nobleman and have the right to be ransomed." ”
Chen Kefu waved his hand, stopped the soldiers who were escorting him, walked in front of Yuan Gaijin and said, "What do you mean by exchanging prisoners?" Do you still have our captives in your hands? We haven't lost a battle in Liao's attack this time, where did you get your prisoners? ”
It seems that I haven't asked for a monthly pass for a few times, so let's vote for one...... I've heard that a pair of numbers votes five for a book......
