Chapter 21 Youzhou Pingkou [Asking for a Monthly Pass]

"How did you know I was here?"

Lu Mingyue looked at Wei Dao'er coldly, there was a trace of surprise in his eyes that couldn't be concealed, although the old mountain forest was the place where he and Wang Basu made an appointment to meet the army, but Wei Dao'er didn't go to Yanshan, so he came here directly, doesn't this mean that his intention to send troops in advance has been recognized?

Lu Mingyue's eyes flashed with murderous intent, he must not let this Wei Dao'er leave, book fans still like to watch:.

Wei Dao'er bowed down and said: "An urn of rice, how can others share it, when the Heavenly King went to find Wang Baha, I guessed that the Heavenly King just wanted to use Wang Bahu to attract the Youzhou army, so the Heavenly King should be here now." ”

Lu Mingyue heard him call himself the king of heaven, and called Wang Ba Hu's name, he understood a little in his heart, he knew that Wei Dao'er and Song Jingang had a grudge, this person was strong in martial arts, and he was so visionary, but he was a talent, Lu Mingyue had a heart of love for talent, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, you don't want to go back, I will let you be the third leader in my army, how about it?" ”

Wei Dao'er was overjoyed, and immediately knelt down and hugged his fists, "I am willing to serve the King of Heaven!" ”

Lu Mingyue laughed, and hurriedly helped him up and said, "You come to me at this time, it is the will of heaven, come!" Tell me about Wang Basu and Upper Valley County. ”

Wei Dao'er sat down in front of a flat boulder, Lu Mingyue spread out a map on the stone, Wei Dao'er stepped forward and pointed to the east of Wuhuiling: "Originally, it was agreed that both sides would go down the mountain at the same time on March 20, but for some reason, an army of 3,000 people of the Sui army suddenly appeared in Yi County, blocking Wang Basu's road to Youzhou, and there were many Sui army scouts operating in the east of Wuhuiling, so that Wang Basu did not dare to act rashly, so Wang Basu sent me to urgently discuss with Brother Lu to delay this operation backwards. ”

Lu Mingyue felt a little strange in her heart, so she pondered for a moment and asked, "Are you saying that Wang Bashu has not yet come down the mountain, and the Sui army has arrived?" ”

"That's right, not only three thousand Sui troops, yesterday I met a Sui army on the road, also bound for Shanggu County, about seven or eight thousand people, I suspect that the Sui army is also going to clear Wang Bahahu, it is just a coincidence."

"It must be so!"

Lu Mingyue showed a look of chagrin on his face, he had already known that the Sui army was going to attack Wang Basu, he didn't need to feint to attack Huairong County, he lost 3,000 people in vain, and if something happened in Huairong County, it would disrupt Yang Yuanqing's plan to attack Wang Bashu and pose a threat to himself. (《》)

Lu Mingyue walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and returned to the map, looking at his target warehouse, located on the west bank of the Gu River, with more than 400 defenders, about fifty miles away from his current location, if the march was fast, it could be reached in half a day.

Lu Mingyue looked at the sky again, it was almost noon, if she rushed to the warehouse, it was exactly dark, Lu Mingyue resolutely made up her mind, and said to Wei Dao'er: "I'll give you five hundred people, you go to feint to attack Youzhou City, don't really attack the city, just create a momentum on the periphery, force Youzhou to close the city gate, and then you go to Yongnu County to meet me." ”

Lu Mingyue patted Wei Dao'er on the shoulder again, "Our brothers will work together to overthrow the Sui Dynasty in the future, I will be the emperor, and I will make you the king of Wei." ”

Wei Dao'er nodded silently, but what he thought of in his heart was not King Wei, but Emperor Wei.

．．．．．．．．

The northeast of Youzhou City is the original station of millions of people, and it is also a field of more than 100 miles, and the stationing of 3 million people also makes this fertile field barren and becomes an endless wilderness, which is a narrow strip of land that is 20 miles wide from east to west and more than 100 miles long from north to south.

Dusk came, the sky was no longer clear, the brilliance of the sun wheel became a little thinner, the sun was still shining, and the seven thousand troops rushed out of a hill and finally reached the wilderness.

This wilderness was what Lu Mingyue was most worried about, and his army would be exposed to the wilderness without any shelter, and it would not drag on until dusk, when Lu Mingyue ordered the army to quickly cross the wilderness.

Seven thousand rebels ran quickly in the wilderness, each holding earthen spears and long knives, although they were poorly equipped, but the team could still maintain a formation when running, unlike the rabble of other rebel rebels, Lu Mingyue trained this army for a whole year, so that this army had initial combat effectiveness, but poor equipment was his henchman, if the capture of the armor was successful, he was very confident that his army would sweep through the counties of Hebei. 《》

The wilderness is about twenty miles wide, and they will travel in an hour, and when they have run more than ten miles, the dusk is deep, the golden glow of the setting sun is gradually disappearing, the sky dyed red by the sunset has dimmed, and the endless mountains and forests have become a dark black, and the sky is like pierced by spears, and dyed red with blood.

"Look, Heavenly King!"

A soldier pointed to the south and suddenly shouted, Lu Mingyue also saw it, and in an instant, his heart seemed to fall into a cold cave, and his whole body froze.

I saw a black line appear on the horizon a few miles to the south, and the dust above the black line was flying, and the earth began to shake slightly, which was ten thousand horses galloping.

Lu Mingyue's face turned pale, the scene he was worried about finally happened, the cavalry of the Sui army stared at him, it was still ten miles in front of him to the forest, and it was more than ten miles away from the hills in the back, and they were about to be in a wilderness.

"Stop running!"

Lu Mingyue ordered loudly, "The whole army is lined up in a square and ready to fight!" ”

He had no third way to choose, either the whole army was routed and fled, or he fought with the Sui army.

In fact, Lu Mingyue didn't know that they had been surrounded, their front and their back roads had been cut off by the Sui army, and what they saw now was three thousand Youzhou iron horses, led by Yang Yuanqing, the governor of Youzhou, who was personally leading, they were like wolves hunting for food, quietly waiting for the prey to come to the hunting ground.

The cavalry got closer and closer, slowed down, stopped a mile away, and began to line up, Yang Yuanqing looked coldly at the seven thousand Yan Mountain thieves who formed a phalanx, the spearmen outside, the sword soldiers inside, the sunset was like blood, they seemed to be soaked in blood.

Yang Yuanqing smiled contemptuously, he drew his war knife, and with a wave of his war knife in the air, he gave the order to attack, "First Army, kill!" ”

A thousand cavalry suddenly launched, the sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, and the cavalry was like a stormy wave, as if the turbulent waves were killing the seven thousand phalanx army.

"Don't be afraid, hold it with a spear!"

Lu Mingyue shouted hoarsely, he could feel the fear of the soldiers, every soldier beside him was trembling, but he had no choice but to fight to the death.

Like a huge wave like a mountain and a sea, a thousand cavalry instantly rushed into the phalanx army, swallowing the soldiers in the front row, the horse's hooves continued to gallop, the war knife was chopping, the head was rolling, the blood was splashing, the phalanx of seven thousand people was instantly collapsed by two percent, but after all, it was seven to one, and after a year of training, a spear formed a forest, withstood the impact of the cavalry, the two sides fought fiercely in the wilderness, the sword flashed, the weapons struck, the men and horses screamed, and the screams came and went, and the fans of the book also liked to watch:.

Yang Yuanqing didn't press it all, he wanted to take a look, he wanted to see how far the phalanx army trained by Lu Mingyue could hold out, and in just a quarter of an hour, the opponent's position had already begun to be chaotic.

Yang Yuanqing was no longer interested in fighting any further, so he issued a second order, "The Second Army and the Third Army will attack both sides of the phalanx. ”

The remaining two thousand cavalry also launched, one left and one right like two giant dragons, directly attacking the two wings of the phalanx, this is the weakness of all phalanxes, the two wings are weak, and the cavalry is generally used to protect them, but Lu Mingyue has no cavalry, and the weakness of the two wings is exposed to the attack of the Sui cavalry.

The two cavalry slashed in, like two giant knives cutting into the two waists at the same time, and suddenly there were many casualties, a scream, the two cavalry killed through the two waists, and met in the formation, the rapid attack and the tragic killing made Lu Mingyue's phalanx that had been training for a year collapse instantly.

The rebel army threw down their weapons and fled in all directions, crying for their father and mother, running wildly in the vast wilderness, and the rebel army besieged in the middle had no way to escape, and they knelt down and surrendered, begging for mercy.

Yang Yuanqing shouted loudly: "Surrender can avoid death, and those who do not surrender will be killed on the spot!" ”

"Whoever takes Lu Mingyue's head will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of gold!"

Under the heavy reward, the cavalry of the Sui army all competed for the lead, and the 2,000 cavalry galloped on horseback, opened a huge net, and surrounded the soldiers fleeing for their lives in the wilderness.

"If you surrender, you will avoid death, and if you don't surrender, you will be killed on the spot!"

The fleeing rebels surrendered on their knees, and hundreds of those who refused to surrender tried to break through the encirclement and were surrounded and hacked to death by Sui soldiers.

This battle of disparity in strength ended in less than half an hour, and the rebels who surrendered were escorted and concentrated, and the cavalry of the Sui army carried torches to identify among them, looking for Lu Mingyue, the leader of the rebel army, but no matter how he searched, Lu Mingyue was nowhere to be found, and there was no corpse on the ground, and he seemed to disappear out of thin air.

"Report to the general manager, 2,200 Yanshan thieves were killed, more than 4,500 people were captured, 322 casualties were inflicted on our army, and 180 horses were lost." An officer reports the battle to Yang Yuanqing.

"Where is the thief leader Lu Mingyue?"

Yang Yuanqing was not interested in this rabble, he was more concerned about Lu Mingyue's whereabouts.

"Back to the chief, we searched all the prisoners of war and corpses, but we found no trace of him."

Yang Yuanqing frowned, could it be that he escaped? At this time, Captain Luo Cheng brought a tall thief soldier up, "Manager Yang, this is Lu Mingyue's flag bearer, he knows the whereabouts of the thief leader Lu Mingyue." ”

The flag bearer fell to his knees and trembled: "The villain has been following the king of heaven, and at the end of the procession, when the second attack of the officers and soldiers was attacked, the villain found that he had led a dozen men to flee to the north on horseback. ”

Yang Yuanqing snorted, "This person actually escaped from the battle, and I still looked up to him." ”

Luo Cheng hurriedly said: "I will lead the cavalry to pursue him!" ”

"Forget it, this person is not worried, leave him alone, leave five hundred brothers to clean up the battlefield, and the rest of the cavalry will escort the prisoners of war back to the city."

The cavalry of the Sui army escorted a group of prisoners of war in the direction of Youzhou City, and the battlefield was lit up with piles of raging fires, which were Sui soldiers burning corpses, and then digging deep pits to bury them, and the smell of blood still wafting in the night that had not yet dissipated.

．．．．．．．．

[At the end of the Sui Dynasty, there were five bandits in Youzhou, Lu Mingyue, Wang Basu, Song Jingang, Wei Dao'er, and Gao Kaidao, and four of them have now appeared].
