Volume 10 The First Sound of the Goryeo Drum Chapter 21 The Capture of Xiongxin
There are camp fences arranged before and after the Wei army camp, the arm thick camp fence is about one zhang high, the time is in a hurry, the Wei army camp does not use the board wall to build the foundation, but cut down wood to make the camp fence, the whole Chilonggang is cut bare, more than 100,000 trees are cut and inserted in the soil, forming a simple defensive array. (First. Hair)
A three-foot-wide trench was dug in front of the barracks with antler barbs in the trenches, and this trench was an impassable ravine for the heavy infantry, who could only concentrate on attacking the camp gates.
In front of the camp gate, which was about four or five zhang wide, the heavy infantry were in a row of 60 people, and the snow bright Mo swords slashed, like the stormy waves surging in the storm, and slammed into the gate of the barracks.
In just a moment, the wooden pillar at the gate of the barracks was smashed to pieces, and the Modao heavy infantry rushed into the Wei army's camp......
Behind the Modao infantry was the Eight Thousand Sword and Shield Army, and at the same time as the drums of the offensive war were beating, they also launched an attack, and under the leadership of the general Wang Junkuo, like a surging big chΓ‘o, they rushed towards the Wei army camp with a shout.
Although the Wei army's bow and crossbow arrow array had been weakened a lot under the onslaught of the heavy infantry, there were still overwhelming arrows.
The sword and shield army held their shields high and charged against the dense arrows, and the soldiers who were hit by the arrows kept falling, but the soldiers who were hit by the arrows were just small waves in the turbulent waves, and the big waves were rushing, rushing towards the camp without stopping.
Ropes lassoed the wooden fences, and under the hard pull of the soldiers, the wooden fences fell down with a bang and pressed against the ravine, and the soldiers quickly laid the planks to pave the way for the cavalry to storm behind.
Wave after wave of sword and shield troops rushed into the Wei army camp, and at this time, the Wei army camp had been opened a gap two miles wide, and the dense camp tents in the camp could already be vaguely seen.
Yang Yuanqing watched the attack of the sword and shield army, and when the sword and shield army paved a passage, the time for a full-scale attack finally came, Yang Yuanqing raised his sword and shouted sharply: "Success or failure is in this move, cavalry." Sweep it all! β
"Kill!"
The 20,000 cavalry burst out with an earth-shattering cry, slaughtering the Wei army camp like a storm, and the sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, and they were never attacked by the Wei army's arrow array. \ rushed into the camp of the Wei army with a devastating force, destroying everything and invincible everything, and at this time, a touch of green light had appeared on the eastern horizon.
The war finally broke out in full force, Du Fuwei's army entered the western camp of the Wei army, Xiao Miao's army entered the eastern camp of the Wei army, and more than 300,000 troops fought fiercely in the wilderness before dawn.
The fighting in the wilderness east of Chilonggang has heated up. Jin Ge iron horse, the sound of killing shook the sky, the drums sounded vigorously, the horn whimpered, and a team of Sui cavalry rushed to kill in the camp with an irresistible momentum, killing the Wei soldiers on their backs, and the crying and shouting shook the sky.
In Dongdaying, Wang Bodang led 40,000 Wei troops to resist the onslaught of Xiao's army. This is the most sharp army of the Wei army, the Xiaoguo army of the original Sui army, and Li Mi does not believe in their loyalty very much. This army of tens of thousands was handed over to Wang Bodang.
Under the leadership of Wang Bodang, this Xiaoguo not only withstood the attack of Xiao Mill's army, but killed Xiao Liang's army to the point of defeat and retreat, Xiao Mill was in a hurry, he commanded the army to desperately resist the counterattack of the Wei army on the one hand, and urgently asked Yang Yuanqing for help on the other hand.
Wang Junkuo led 10,000 cavalry to gallop from the flank, and the cavalry of the Sui army was like an extremely sharp steel knife, which instantly tore through the defense line of the Wei army, divided the Wei army into two, and greatly reduced the pressure on Xiao's army. So that Xiao Mo stabilized his position and slowly began to counterattack the Wei army.
Despite the courage of the 40,000 Xiaoguo army, it was difficult for the 40,000 Xiaoguo army to save the fate of the Wei army's defeat, and Meng Rang, the chief general of the Western Front, could not command Shan Xiongxin's old army, and his morale was low. The army's spirit was unstable, and it was defeated and retreated by Du Fuwei's Jianghuai army, and the scene was chaotic.
However, the defeat of the Wei army stemmed from the harsh reprimand of the main general, and Meng Rang killed more than 20 retreating Wei soldiers in a row, which finally aroused the anger of Shan Xiongxin's old troops, and thousands of Wei troops defected, besieged and killed Meng Rang, and cut Meng Rang into powder with a chaotic blade.
Meng Rang's death caused the Wei army to be defeated on all fronts, and the western camp was the first to collapse, and the 60,000 Wei troops in the western camp were defeated like a mountain, and countless surrenderers were countless, and countless soldiers rushed out of the camp and fled in all directions in the wilderness.
The fleeing wind quickly swept the whole camp, and Li Mi's army in the middle camp also began to rout, although they fought against the 20,000 troops of the Sui army with 80,000 troops, but the soldiers had no intention of fighting, and the generals who received the letters from home began to lead their troops to surrender one after another.
The battle lasted less than an hour, and thousands of troops broke out to flee, from the western camp to the middle camp to the eastern camp, the consequences of the capture of Jiangdu City and the loss of Jiangyang Cang were finally manifested, no soldiers were willing to fight for a hopeless dynasty anymore, and the 180,000 troops lost their armor and were defeated.
Before dawn, Li Mi once pinned infinite dreams on the Great Wei Dynasty finally came to an end, Li Mi in his confidant Wang Bodang's escort, led a thousand guards to fight desperately out of a bloody road, from the east camp to break out of the camp, to the south is the rolling Yangtze River, and more than ten miles away in the south is the rolling Yangtze River......
Handcuffed with iron chains, Shan Xiongxin was held in a large tent guarded by twenty of Li Mi's henchmen, and Li Mi gave the order that if Shan Xiongxin had the slightest intention of resisting and escaping, he would be summarily executed, a kind of distrust in his bones, which was unabashedly exposed at a critical juncture.
Li Mi decided that Shan Xiongxin would surrender to Yang Yuanqing, and once Shan Xiongxin was freed from the shackles, he would inevitably lead the army of Xidaying to surrender en masse, thus completely defeating his empire.
From the point of view of common sense, Li Mi's approach is beyond reproach, his ideas and practices are completely correct, but things in the world are often not as simple as people think, not black and white, more of a gray sè, the complexity of people lies in the extremely vicious people, in fact, there is also a good side, Shan Xiongxin and Yang Yuanqing have a good personal relationship, but this does not mean that Shan Xiongxin will definitely surrender Yang Yuanqing.
Li Mi also knew this truth, as a king and a boss, he would eventually have to choose between Shan Xiongxin's faith and righteousness, and Li Mi also made a choice, but he made the wrong bet.
However, it is a kind of inevitability that he pressed the wrong bet, his hostility to the Wagang Army in his bones, and his distrust of Shan Xiongxin, the representative of the Wagang Army, led to this inevitable choice, it can be said that Li Mi's failure today was doomed as early as the moment he joined the Wagang Army.
The shouting of killing outside the big tent shook the sky, the cavalry of the Sui army had already entered the Wei camp, the Wei army was defeated step by step, Shan Xiongxin was anxious in the tent, and the guards who guarded him had almost fled, leaving only a young guard, he was terrified, and he didn't know what to do.
Shan Xiongxin struggled to pull the iron chain, the iron chain clanged, and the other end was buckled on the iron pillar, unable to break free, Shan Xiongxin was so anxious that he yelled, "Quickly use a knife to cut the iron chain for me!" β
The young guard looked at Shan Xiongxin's swollen red face, looked at Shan Xiongxin's blood-red eyes that seemed to bulge out, and the young guard felt that there was a beast buckled on the pillar, as long as he got out of trouble, he would definitely swallow himself in one bite.
The young guard screamed in fright, turned around and rushed out of the big tent, and fled without a trace, there was no one in the big tent, Shan Xiongxin was helpless, the nearest knife was also two zhang away, there was no weapon, he couldn't cut the buckle on the iron pillar at all, he had to sit down and wait for the opportunity.
At this moment, the shouts and killings outside the big tent were getting closer and closer, and there were begs for mercy and cries everywhere, which made Shan Xiongxin's heart sink into the abyss, and he knew that this was the rout of the Wei army.
"Li Mi, you bastard!"
Shan Xiongxin yelled, he got up again and struggled, but the iron chain rattled, but he couldn't break free, but the iron pillar deep in the ground had begun to loosen a little, Shan Xiongxin was overjoyed, as long as the iron pillar could move, he would be able to get the knife, he took a deep breath, slammed his shoulder on the iron pillar, and the iron pillar shook violently again.
But at this moment, a rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded outside, the Sui cavalry cut the tent rope, and the big tent was immediately overturned by the night wind, and a dark blue night sky suddenly appeared in front of Shan Xiongxin's eyes, and the pungent smell of blood and the fishy smell of earth mixed with the night wind rushed towards him.
But what Shan Xiongxin saw was another scene that made his scalp explode, a group of Sui cavalry rushed towards him, the iron hooves of the war horses hitting the ground, like a dozen behemoth monsters, and several snow-bright spears stabbed straight into his chest like lightning.
Shan Xiongxin was shocked, he rolled on the spot, and dodged behind the iron pillar, "Dang! With a bang, a spear stabbed the iron pillar, the flames splashed, and the other spear was about to pierce his throat. The tip of the spear was snapped.
More than a dozen cavalrymen behind him were suddenly furious, and more than a dozen spears stabbed at him at the same time, Shan Xiongxin couldn't show his martial arts, it was difficult to dodge, he couldn't help but sigh, "My life is over!" "Closed his eyes.
At this moment, the cavalry captain of the Sui Army, who was the leader, shouted: "Stop!" β
More than a dozen spears stopped, and the captain saw that Shan Xiongxin was wearing a Yin helmet, which was the sign of a lieutenant general, and he pointed his spear at Shan Xiongxin and asked, "Who are you?" β
Shan Xiongxin smiled coldly, "Lao Tzu Station will not change its name, and it should not be surnamed, Shan Xiongxin is also!" β
The lieutenant was taken aback, and then he was overjoyed, the person in front of him was actually the thief leader Shan Xiongxin, and he immediately shouted: "Untie his shackles and tie him up!" β
The cavalry moved in unison, unshackled him, and tied him firmly......
At dawn, a round of red morning sun erupted, and ten thousand rays of light were reflected on the earth, the battle gradually came to an end, and the resistance was gone, groups of prisoners of war sat on the ground with their heads down, and the Sui army was nervously cleaning up the battlefield.
Yang Yuanqing rode a horse and stood on Chilonggang, staring at the messy battlefield at the foot of the mountain, the morning glow reflected on his face, dyeing him purple and red, at this time there was not much excitement in his eyes, the victory over the Wei army was in his expectation, and it was only the first step of his trip to the south.
At this time, a personal soldier stepped forward to report, "Your Highness, the cavalry has captured Shan Xiongxin and is escorting him." β
Yang Yuanqing was overjoyed, and looked at the foot of the mountain, only to see dozens of cavalry hugging one person forward, it was Shan Xiongxin, who had not been seen for many years.
Your support is my biggest motivation. )
