Chapter 32: Worst Outcome (350 Monthly Passes Plus Update)

Yang Yuanqing actually did not go far, just as climbing the heights was to look far away, Yang Yuanqing led the army out of the battlefield in order to see the entire Daizhou battle situation more clearly.

At this time, his Youzhou cavalry was twenty miles away from the battlefield, and it was no longer 5,000 cavalry, plus 1,000 surrendered Yang Langjun and 500 cavalry brought by Hou Mo Chen Yi, and then removed the more than 400 casualties the day before yesterday, he now has a total of 6,000 elite cavalry, which is a force that is enough to influence the battle situation in Daizhou.

The scout has already brought Yang Yuanqing all kinds of information, including Yang Liang's military branches, troops, and equipment (81zw in the latest chapter of Wu Dong Qiankun), and he needs to break down this information one by one to find the loopholes in Qiao Zhongkui's army.

The 6,000 cavalry were located next to a vast pine forest, and the soldiers were all taking their last rest in the pine forest, surrounded by dozens of officers beside a flat boulder, who were listening to Yang Yuanqing's tactical analysis.

On the table-sized stone face, Yang Yuanqing used tree branches as a camp, used stones as an army, and painted some stones black as cavalry.

"From the prisoners of war, I got detailed information, the rebels are about 35,000 to 37,000 in total, including 35,000 infantry, 2,000 to 3,000 cavalry, and then from Qiao Zhongkui's deployment of troops, we can reverse his troops left in the camp, he left 8,000 troops in the camp, these 8,000 troops should be used to deal with us, and also used to defend the camp baggage."

Yang Yuanqing put a few ordinary stones in the camp, and continued, these 8,000 people have 3,000 spear infantry and 5,000 crossbowmen, and there are only two or three thousand mules and horses in the camp, and there are no war horses. ”

Speaking of which, Yang Yuanqing smiled at the officers and said with a smile, do you have any good ideas? ”

The officers whispered, Hou Mo Chen Yi frowned, and said What the general meant, could it be that he wanted to attack the west? ”

Since Yang Yuanqing killed He Lanyi and Zhao Shizhu by thunderbolt, Hou Mo Chen Yi admired Yang Yuanqing's decisive style and soft and hard methods, and more importantly, Yang Yuanqing's trust in him made him completely restrain his arrogance in a high position, and his tone was a little more respectful.

Yang Yuanqing saw that Hou Mo Chen Yi really had a bit of a strategy, and it coincided with his thoughts, so he smiled and said with General Hou Mo Chen continued. ”

Hou Mo Chen Yi also picked up two small pebbles and put them in the camp, and said to everyone with a smile General Yang just said that there is no cavalry in the camp, which is destined to the rebels in the camp can only defend firmly, then we only need to send a thousand people, Qiao pretends to be a main force of 6,000, and attracts them near the camp....."

He put a big stone next to Qiao Zhongkui's army, "Our main force will cooperate with Yang Yichen's army to attack Qiao Zhongkui's main force from the flank, and the enemy army will be defeated in this battle." ”

"Then it is necessary to keep the main forces of the enemy away from the large battalion," another officer also put forward.

As soon as you say a word, I say a word, and gradually outline a complete plan, Yang Yuanqing was the first to understand the weakness of Qiao Zhongkui's army, that is, his cavalry is insufficient, because Qiao Zhongkui came to Daizhou to attack the city, so he only brought 5,000 cavalry.

In the battle with him the day before yesterday, nearly half of the five thousand cavalry were consumed, and the lack of cavalry led to a helpless move by Qiao Zhongkui, he had to protect the battalion, but also left enough troops to deal with, so he left eight thousand crossbowmen and spearmen in the battalion, so that the loopholes of the rebels came out, as Hou Mo Chen Yi said, with a small number of troops pretending to be the main force, and their main force was put into the frontal battlefield, this battle, Qiao Zhongkui will undoubtedly lose.

Everyone dispersed, Yang Yuanqing left Yang Jiachen behind, and he still had important things to say to him.

"The thousand cavalry attacking the battalion will be led by you, bluffing, leading but not attacking, as long as you hold back the army of the battalion, even if you have made a great achievement."

"Subordinates understand"

Yang Yuanqing pondered for a moment and said After the battle of Yang Liang is settled, you will stay in Youzhou as a general, this is also what your grandfather meant, leave the nine brothers in Group A to you, and earn a future for everyone."

Yang Jiachen nodded silently, before he left the capital, the master Yang Su also told him that after the rebellion of Yang Liang was quelled, they would stay in Youzhou as generals, and the Iron Shadow Eighteen Cavalry had followed Yang Su for more than ten years, and they were all old, and the master wanted to arrange their future one by one.

Yang Yuanqing patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, don't think so much about it, concentrate on fighting this battle"

．．．．．．．．．

'Knock knock'

The rhythm of the war drums began to accelerate, the Daizhou War is about to begin, this is related to the success or failure of Yang Liang's overall situation, if the north is defeated, it will seriously contain Yang Lang's battle situation in the south of Bingzhou, although Yang Liang has more than 200,000 troops in his hands, but the elite of the government soldiers is only 100,000, and only the battle of Daizhou, he invested 50,000 elite soldiers, and now there are 38,000 people, the final decisive battle kicked off.

The two armies have set up a formation, waving their flags, spears and halberds are like a forest, Yang Yichen looked at the nearly 30,000 rebels two miles away, his eyes gradually showed excitement, the other party only had 30,000 people, and the cavalry was only 5,000, this was the opportunity that Yang Yuanqing created for him.

Yang Yichen waved his sword and shouted at the contradictory infantry, advance"

A total of 4,000 contradictory infantry in the front five rows raised their spears and huge shields and began to march towards the rebel camp, followed by 2,000 archers and crossbow troops, followed by 4,000 spear infantry, 4,000 jumping soldiers, 4,000 cavalry in two teams to guard the two wings, and 24,000 cavalry lined up neatly and murderously.

In the rumbling offensive war drums, the Shuozhou army took the lead in attacking, and the war drums were also sounded in the enemy army on the opposite side, at this time, Qiao Zhongkui was not a little sure in his heart, even if he added five thousand Youzhou troops, the total strength of the other party was less than him, but the other party had nine thousand cavalry, and he only had three thousand, the number of cavalry far exceeded him, in the wilderness battle, the cavalry had a strong advantage, and the strength was compared, he was at a considerable disadvantage.

What's even worse is that Yang Yuanqing's 5,000 cavalry is not where? Qiao Zhongkui can be sure that Yang Yuanqing will definitely kill at a critical time, and it depends on whether the reserved 8,000 troops can finally defeat them.

Qiao Zhongkui turned his head and looked at the big camp, his big camp was three miles away, this was a relatively awkward distance, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, he had done his best, success or failure depended on the will of God.

"Zhuguo, the enemy army has attacked," one of the pro-soldiers shouted, interrupting his train of thought.

Qiao Zhongkui stared into the distance, and he also coldly ordered the crossbow soldiers to prepare for battle."

The drums were beating, the battle flags were waving, and the 5,000 crossbowmen were arrayed in three rows, and the 5,000 crossbows were aimed at the Shuozhou army advancing in formation.

In the Central Plains army combat, the crossbow can play a much less powerful than the Hu people, a big reason is that the Central Plains army is not only sharp crossbow arrows, the protection ability is also strong, they are not only wearing iron armor, while their shields can effectively resist arrows, in contrast, the Hu people attach importance to cavalry sprints, the defense ability is weak, which makes the power of crossbow arrows to be maximized.

When the Shuozhou army entered a hundred steps, the rebel drums were encrypted, the black flag was waved, and five thousand crossbows were fired at the same time, and the arrow rain was overwhelming, shooting towards the Shuozhou army, four thousand contradictory infantry shouted, and at the same time raised the hexagonal rattan shield, and the dense arrow rain shot into the army cluster, and there were constantly screams undulating, although the rattan shield can effectively defend against arrows, but after all, there is no invulnerable defense, in the dense arrow rain, there are still nearly 100 people who were shot by arrows, some were killed on the spot, some were wounded by arrows, curled up on the ground, and could not advance the army.

The 4,000 contradictory infantry did not stop, still holding their large shields and slowly advancing, and the 2,000 crossbowmen behind also fired at the same time, and two pieces of arrow rain intertwined in the air, obscuring the sky......

"The crossbowmen withdraw, the pikemen attack"

Qiao Zhongkui saw that the crossbow army could not kill and injure a large number of enemy troops, so he changed his tactics and attacked by spearmen, thousands of crossbowmen retreated like a tide, and eight thousand spear infantry came out to meet the battle, dense as a forest, and the tips of the spears flashed with murderous aura.

Yang Yichen saw that the rain of arrows in the sky disappeared, and resolutely ordered, "Order the contradiction army to attack, and the cavalry on both wings to kill"

The war drums sounded again, this was an order to speed up the battle, the four thousand Shuozhou contradictory infantry quickened the pace, rushed towards the enemy formation, the two wings of the four thousand cavalry in an arc to kill, directly hit the enemy's flank, the two armies collided in the drums, the spear tips collided, blood splashed, the war horses galloped, the swords were like lightning, screams, screams, screams, skulls, limbs separated, tens of thousands of troops in the dust into a mess.

．．．．．．．

Qiao Zhongkui was ordered to attack Daizhou, he brought a large amount of food and baggage, logistics supply played an extremely important role in his 40,000 troops, once his grain was burned by the enemy, and the back road was cut off, then his army would collapse in three days, so keeping the camp and grain baggage was also his top priority.

The camp is only three miles away from the battlefield, this is Qiao Zhongkui's most critical bottom line, no matter Yang Yichen leads him north, he resolutely refuses to leave this distance, which can ensure that the army can return to the camp at any time, and the defenders in the camp can support the battlefield at any time.

Qiao Zhongkui left 8,000 troops in the camp, 5,000 archers and 3,000 spear infantry, just two hours after the outbreak of the war, the Youzhou cavalry finally appeared three miles south of the camp, hunting under the banner, and the dust was flying, which made the defenders of the barracks very nervous, and 5,000 crossbowmen were waiting for them.

The fierce battle on the battlefield has entered the white heat, all the forces of both sides are fully invested, the Shuozhou army of 24,000 people against the elite of the state of 30,000, although the number of the state army is superior, but Shuozhou has more than 2,000 cavalry, and there are no crossbowmen, so that the two sides are evenly matched.

The battlefield is dusty, the yellow dust fills the sky, obscuring the sun, making the day colorless, drums, shouting and killing, corpses are all over the field, blood flows like rivers, the tragedy of the war makes every soldier like struggling in front of the cliff of hell, with the passage of time, the soldier's physical strength has become the key to determining victory or defeat, and physical strength lies in the usual training.

Although both sides were elite soldiers, the two hours of fierce fighting still left every soldier exhausted and on the verge of a kind of physical collapse, and the war had reached its most critical moment.

Qiao Zhongkui was anxious, if the Youzhou cavalry came out at this time, then he would be finished, and he finally decided to abandon the camp and transfer 8,000 troops into battle.

Just as he was about to give the order, a rousing horn suddenly sounded in the distance, "Woo-"

The sound of the horn was like a storm in the field, the thunder in the mountains, the yellow dust was filled, the sound of horses' hooves was beating the earth, and the five thousand Youzhou cavalry came at the most critical moment, and the overwhelming cavalry appeared on the right side of the Bingzhou army.

The main general Yang Yuanqing took the lead, holding a huge shield and a sky-breaking lance, the red mane of the war horse fluttered, the red tassels on his helmet fluttered in the wind, behind him, five thousand cavalry roared forward, like a raging wave rushing to the coast, and the war fanaticism in everyone's hearts burned in their blood like a flame, raising their spears and pounced on the state army.

The hearts of the Bingzhou army began to waver, and when the right-wing general Wang Ba saw that the situation was critical, he yelled, "Meet me"

He led a thousand cavalry to rush up to meet the battle, Wang pulled a big spear and brandished it, directly taking Yang Yuanqing, Yang Yuanqing threw away the shield, his eyes were cold, the war horse galloped, and the tip of the sky-breaking lance burst out with a thousand catties of momentum, the horse lance was as fast as lightning, one step faster than Wang Ba's iron spear, a lance pierced Wang Ba's iron armor and chest, the two horses crossed, Wang Ba's war horse was empty, and his burly body was raised by Yang Yuanqing at the tip of the lance.....

The killing of the Youzhou cavalry made the morale of the Shuozhou army high, and also made the rebels of Bingzhou terrified, although Qiao Zhongkui would have this moment, but when it really came, Qiao Zhongkui felt an endless despair, just like the moment when he fell into a swamp, when the sludge was about to overflow over his head.

"Battalion Army Sortie"

He hissed and shouted to abandon the camp and attack with all his troops"

The red twin flags waved and ordered the defenders to attack, and the 8,000 defenders rushed out of the camp, but were intercepted by 1,000 Youzhou cavalry, blocking the road for the soldiers of the battalion to come to the north, and also choking the last hope of the Bingzhou army.

Five thousand Youzhou cavalry engulfed like a tsunami, from the side into the state army, and the right wing of the state army took the lead in the rout, followed by the wave of retreat swept the whole army, and the whole line of the state was defeated, Yang Yichen took the opportunity to attack, and the state army was defeated, the soldiers trampled on each other, rushed to flee for their lives, threw away their armor, scattered and fled, or knelt down to surrender and beg for mercy.

In this battle, the Shuoyou coalition army killed 10,000 enemies, captured more than 20,000 enemies, seized countless food and materials, and the main general Qiao Zhongkui died in the chaos.

The fiasco of Daizhou not only wiped out Yang Liang's 5,000 elite troops, but also made the situation in the entire state begin to develop in a direction unfavorable to Yang Liang, and after the Daizhou War, 11 of the 19 states that supported Yang Liang turned to the imperial court and no longer supported Yang Liang, while the 33 states that remained on the sidelines issued statements of rebellion and reprimanded Yang Liang for plotting rebellion.

Encouraged by the great victory in Daizhou, Shi Shen, the commander of the Hanoi march, led 20,000 troops and defeated the 30,000 rebels who had entered Jizhou at Xushui, which shattered Yang Lang's plan to cross the Taihang Mountains and march into Hebei.

The news reached the capital, the Manchu Dynasty celebrated, Yang Guang ordered to reward the army of the Battle of Daizhou with 500,000 horses of silk and 50,000 taels of silver, and named Yang Yichen as the general, Xiangzhou Assassin History, gave 2,000 horses of silk, and ten women; Feng Li Jing was named the pillar country, worshiped the general of the right Wuwei, gave 3,000 silk horses, and a piece of female music.

Feng Biao general Yang Yuanqing as the lord of Dali City and Jiuyuan City, the general of Shangzhen, the three divisions of the honor, and the viscount of Feihu County, rewarded 10,000 horses of silk and 5,000 taels of silver.

The rest of the meritorious generals were rewarded, and Yang Yuanqing immediately distributed his reward to his officers and soldiers, leaving nothing behind, and for a while five thousand Youzhou cavalry thundered with joy, and everyone was grateful.
