Chapter 256: King of Liaodong!

Among Qin Shubao, Luo Shixin, and Cheng Yanjin, Chen Kefu has already seen it. Cheng Yanjin didn't care much about the identity of Zhang Xutuo's subordinates.

Sure enough, as soon as Chen Kefu's words fell, Cheng Biting Jin immediately moved, forcibly restrained his emotions, and twisted and said, "The marshal is too elevated, my old Cheng is just a township soldier leader, with a few ignorant minions under him." When I came, Zhang Dashuai looked at me and asked me to be a captain, which already made me deeply frightened. Now that the marshal is suddenly going to appoint me as the chief manager, how can I be the old man. I also ask the marshal to take back his fate, I don't have anything else, but I admire a hero like the marshal the most. As long as the commander uses me, I will be a personal soldier of the commander, and I will never complain. ”

Cheng Yanjin's words can be described as full of flesh, and even Chen Kefu couldn't stand it when he heard such crazy sycophants. I really can't imagine that such flattery came from the mouth of a vulgar big guy like Cheng Yanjin.

"When, when. I think I, Chen Kefu and Captain Cheng, are also from similar backgrounds and about the same age. I used to work as a foreigner in Hebei, and you were a landlord in Shandong. I also don't like to read when I'm a child, so I like to practice martial arts. I heard that Captain Cheng used to be the same, dancing with guns and sticks all day long. What is particularly rare is the enthusiasm of Captain Cheng, as soon as he heard that Liaodong was dangerous, he immediately abandoned his family and business, and brought his family to Liaodong to fight, which made me admire. I only brought nine people with me, so you bring two with you. Such a loyal and brave person, let alone the head of a district, it is not impossible for him to be the marquis in command before His Majesty's Golden Palace. ”

The two of you praise me, and I brag about you, but it seems that you haven't seen friends for many years, and it's like old friends at first sight.

After a few pushes, Cheng Yanjin finally happily accepted the new position of the general manager. He originally came to Liaodong to make contributions, and now that he has such a rewarding boss, what else does he have to hesitate.

After Luo Shixin cried sadly for a while, he glared at Chen Kefu and said, "Marshal Chen, I don't know if you are willing to avenge Zhang Shuai?" ”

"Of course, revenge for Zhang Dashuai, this is my duty!"

"That's good, as long as the Liao army is defeated, then I ask to cut down the level of Liao Shuai Yizhi Wende with my own hands!" Luo Shixin's cold face and eyes shone with hatred.

Chen Kefu didn't hesitate at all, "No problem, Yizhi Wende killed my hundreds of thousands of Great Sui generals' wives, even if you don't say that I caught him, you have to dismantle him in eight pieces." ”

"Well, I'll be a member of your account from now on." After Luo Shixin said this coldly, he turned back to the side, and continued to cry while holding the broken iron spear. Chen Kefu was also stunned, he didn't expect that this cold-blooded murderous demon king would have such a loving side.

Seeing that the two colleagues had already agreed, Qin Shubao stepped forward and hugged a fist: "Now that Marshal Chen of Liaodong is the largest, the last general will naturally rely on the drive in the future."

The only small request is that the marshal can ask the Liao people to return Zhang Shuai's body as soon as possible. ”

Seeing that the three future fierce generals have all been included in the same account, Chen Kefu is in a good mood. He ordered that the old department of 3,000 Zhang Sutuo should not be separated, and then a total of 4,000 veterans in the 1,000 army were transferred to form a battalion. The battalion number is renamed the Eight Winds Battalion, with Qin Shubao as the chief manager, Luo Shixin as the deputy director, and Cheng Yanjin as Sima. Incorporate the Eight Winds Battalion into the Chinese Army and unify it for yourself.

With a good mood, Chen Kefu issued an attack order to the whole army. Previously, although the Liao army tried to break through several times, it could only drop a few corpses and retreat back each time under the resistance of the Sui army's powerful bow and crossbow troops.

Just today, the Mo sword soldiers and heavy cavalry, as well as a large number of sappers and equipment, have already arrived in the army. With these weapons and strong soldiers, Chen Kefu finally ordered an attack. In the sound of neat war drums and horns, the Sui army marched in a neat phalanx. The front chariots were all transferred from Liaodong City, and the front of these chariots were all sharpened antlers, and there were large sheets of raw cowhide on the outside, and the first chariot was also equipped with a three-step long-distance crossbow and two crossbowmen.

Behind the chariots were shield-wielding spear-wielding men in the battalions. It was followed by a large number of crossbow troops, followed by cavalry units. After the reinforcement of the entire army in Liaodong City, the number has reached more than 80,000, which is basically the same as the Liao army. However, the equipment in the army is countless times better than that of the Liao army.

Seeing the Sui army attacking, the Liao people also lined up to greet each other. More than 90,000 Liao people have suffered a lot these days, and the last one has failed. Although he defeated the Sui army reinforcements, he also fell into a certain place of death. After eating horse meat for two days, Etozhi Wende and the others were also ready to fight to the death. ,

With a big battle of nearly 200,000 people, this is definitely a battle that can go down in history. Although the siege of Liaodong City half a month ago, nearly 10,000 people were mobilized on both sides. But more than half of them were civil slaves on both sides, and this time, it was a real field battle of the great army. There were no auxiliaries in the Goguryeo coalition army, and although there was a part of the Sui army, it was basically not much.

On the river beach of dozens of miles on the east bank of Liaodong, on the vast snow that has not melted, 180,000 people occupy almost the entire east bank, and it looks boundless at a glance. The two armies were still miles apart, but sporadic battles had already begun.

The light cavalry units between the two sides were constantly galloping back and forth in the enemy's formation, and they were constantly probing the enemy's troop arrangement. While reconnoitring and blocking, before the official battle, there were already tens of thousands of light cavalry roaring across the country. The riding spears and scimitars were unusually bright in the reflection of the sunlight. You chase after me, rush back and forth, and the cavalry that keeps falling opens the prelude to the big war.

In order to cope with the big war, Chen Kefu arranged for thousands of heralds, and a large number of heralds sometimes ensured that he could directly command units at the team level. At the position of the Chinese army, a towering building car was pulled by many scalpers and slowly moved forward. The tall building car had a huge platform on top of it, which was large enough to be several feet in circumference. This building car is eight feet high, and it is transformed from the building car that attacked the city in the city. During the war, it was specially used to climb the heights and overlook, so as to command the overall situation.

On top of the building car, in addition to Chen Kefu and several other senior generals, there were dozens of flag soldiers.

Under Chen Kefu's order, the flag soldiers kept waving the flags in their hands, and countless herald cavalry in front of the formation began to gallop in front of the formation for more than ten miles.

One by one, the commander-in-chief and lieutenant kept shouting out their troops and laying out orders one by one. In order to carry out a great field battle of nearly 200,000 men on this wide river plain, the unity of orders is a very important issue.

The commander-in-chief of the whole army must be able to consider every step before ordering, because every order is passed down and then reacted by the army. In between, it often takes more than a quarter of an hour.

Therefore, during the war, the orders must be concise and few, and they cannot be frequently mobilized, otherwise it will be difficult for the entire army to react. The key is still to look at the generals at the battalion level, because they are on the front line of the battle formation, and it is their duty to command before the battle.

The two armies were five miles apart and stopped.

Chen Kefu stood on top of the tall building car, dressed in armor and with a serious expression. This was his first positional field battle, and it was also a great battle of 180,000 men. As the commander of an army, there is no room for any confusion. The biggest field battle he fought in the past was the Jinshan ambush. However, it was an ambush battle, and most of the troops on both sides were auxiliaries. This time it was indeed a tough battle, and there was no trick to speak of.

He didn't want to fight as badly as he did in his first siege.

"This commander ordered, Lu Shishen led the left front army to attack the enemy's right flank. General Manager Lu, you and Shen Guang are both first-class fierce generals in my Liaodong camp, and I ask you to take the right wing of the Liao army. Completely cut off the possibility of the Liao army breaking through from the left flank, and this time, we will completely annihilate the Liao army. "What Chen Kefu hopes most is to be able to directly trap the Liao army, but it is too difficult to do this on such an open river plain. Without geographical advantages and numerical superiority, it is impossible to truly encircle and kill the enemy. The longer they waited, the more the Liao army would break through after resting, and it would be more difficult for them to stop it. No matter how tightly defended it is, there will be loopholes. Therefore, after Chen Kefu waited for a day, mobilized 30,000 soldiers and horses, and arrived with countless equipment, he really decided to take the initiative to attack the Liao people and replace defense with attack. Using the sophisticated equipment in their hands, the war was completely successful.

"Order, Marshal!" Lu Shishen stretched out his head and slammed the heart guard in front of Xiōng, and smiled happily at Shen Guang. At the time of the Great War, it was a supreme honor to be the first unit to fight, and it was the honor of the entire Left Front Army.

Several generals of the left front army got out of the car, stepped on their horses, and returned to the formation with a group of cavalry. Several other generals, looking at their figures, were a little envious.

"Zhang He!"

"The last general!" "This commander orders you to command the right rear army to launch a tentative attack on the enemy's left flank. Ben Shuai predicted that if the Liao people wanted to break through, they were likely to break through from this direction. So it must be where the 30,000 cavalry of the Liao people are. "Please rest assured, my right rear army will definitely swear to take the left flank of the Liao." ,

Chen Kefu shook the fork, "You don't have to do this, you just need to carry out a tentative attack." If the left flank of the Liao army is really the main force, then you can retreat, as long as you hold the right flank of our army. "The Left Rear Army and the Right Rear Army are the two weakest of the entire Seventh Army, and both of them have a record of great defeat on the battlefield. So Chen Kefu didn't have much expectations for him, he just hoped to use him to test the enemy's strength configuration. If the strength of the Liao army is on the left flank, he will have other arrangements at that time.

Looking at Zhang He's face a little ugly, he guessed that he might remember the past, and hurriedly smiled and comforted, "In the battle formation of hundreds of thousands of people, the fighter planes change in an instant. You are the commander in front of the battle, and you should have the right to respond to the situation on the fly. If Ben Shuai asks too much of you, then the situation will change, and Ben Shuai will not have time to convey orders to you. You just have to remember not to be too rash and fight steadily. "Ladies and gentlemen, today's battle is very important. The battle formation that lasted more than ten miles, and the commander couldn't do everything himself. This commander only controls the overall strategy, and all battlefield contingencies are all up to you. If there is a change in the fighter plane, as long as it is beneficial to the overall situation, the commander grants you the right to change the commander's plan. Dozens of high-ranking generals bent down in unison, and saluted with their right hands, "Please rest assured that the marshal will work together to fight hard and never disappoint the marshal's high expectations." Zhang He's face was serious, and he said solemnly, "The last general must be used as a large army to find out the reality of the enemy's army, and if possible, he must take the right flank of the Liao army." "Okay, this marshal is here to congratulate all the generals for good news!" In Chen Kefu's voice, the battle began.

"Brothers, the marshal is watching us from the building car of the Chinese army, waiting for our good news." Zhang He held a horizontal knife, rode on the war horse, and ran between the regiments of the right rear army, the horizontal knife swept over the big shields of the soldiers, and the sound of huā was loud, and under the sunlight, it seemed extraordinarily solemn. "We have failed on the battlefield in the past, although we have trained hard, trained and trained again. But there is no chance to wash away the shame of our day.

Just today, the marshal has high hopes for us, and it is time to prove to everyone that the time has come for our right rear army. We want people to know that the right rear army holding high the White Tiger Battle Banner is a fierce tiger division! The war drums beat, the horn sounded, and the long sword in Zhang He's hand pointed forward.

"Right rear, attack!"

The White Tiger battle flag moved, and more than 10,000 people in the right rear army began to attack, countless spears like clouds, and horizontal swords like snow. There was a sound of neat steps on the plain, and the right rear army of nearly 20,000 men began to attack.

Shameful and courageous, the offensive rhythm of the right rear army was slow but unwavering. The big sword has no edge, and the big black does not work. There is no huā whistle, all the low-level third-level officers have been trained in rotation, and all the soldiers have been strictly planned... After the training, their results were fully demonstrated at this time.

The officers at all levels commanded with a clear and clear vision, and the soldiers cooperated with each other tacitly, jumping dàng, odd soldiers, and crossbowmen. Mixed infantry and cavalry coordinated operations, infantry, cavalry, and engineering mixed cooperative operations.

A bōbō attack is like a tidal wave, and this is a perfect drill for all arms to cooperate in combat.

High morale, strong armor, sharp weapons, advanced equipment, out of the officer, elite soldiers. All of this is combined to form a right rear army with an incomparably sharp edge.

The right rear army was attacking, and the left front army was also attacking. Under the cover of chariots, with the cooperation of catapults and crossbows, and with the support of crossbow troops, under the assault of a heavy infantry regiment and a heavy cavalry regiment, they continued to press the right flank of the Liao people towards the Chinese army with neat steps.

Seeing that the left and right wings had already made meritorious contributions, Chen Kefu was overjoyed, ordered the flag to wave, and the Chinese army continued to slowly press forward.

The distance of five miles was not far, and although the Chinese army seemed to move slowly, it was not long before it was less than a thousand paces away from the enemy.

"Heavy infantry battalions and heavy cavalry battalions are ready for battle and ready for armor!" Another order was given, and the herald sped the order.

The soldiers and horses on the left and right flanks of the Liao army were all infantry, and after being broken through continuously, the real elite soldiers and horses of the Goguryeo people finally appeared. More than 30,000 cavalry and more than 10,000 elite infantry were all in the middle position.

The ground beneath his feet began to shake continuously, and the sound of thunder continued to come. Countless war horses stepped on countless snow and soil, and rushed out in the Chinese army. For today's war, from Jiazhi Wende to the commander of the coalition army. No one still has luck in their hearts. They had already decided that today's battle was the time for them to break through, and the left and right flanks, and even the infantry of the front army of the Chinese army, had all been abandoned by them. ,

In the past two days, they have collected all the carcasses of war horses they can get, and each cavalryman has received a lot of horse meat. Just wait for the battle together, then the left and right flanks will drag the two armies of the Sui army, and they will break through with 30,000 cavalry.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that the Sui army's offensive would be so sharp, and before the melee began, it was already about to completely crush the two wings. In desperation, before the melee began, Ezhi Wende and others had no choice but to lead the cavalry to break through in advance.

The Mòhé cavalry, the Murowei cavalry, the Goguryeo cavalry, and the cavalry of the three tribes began to charge, and Lianji was ruthlessly abandoned. More than 30,000 horsemen roared with scimitars, and the knights bowed down, their necks tightly pressed against their horses' necks.

The sudden attack of the Liao people was also unexpected by the Sui army. Two armies fought, and it was very rare for the cavalry to charge in such a frontal large group.

The battalion commanders of the former army of the Chinese army immediately changed their "crossbowmen shoot!" A roar rang out.

The crossbowmen with the longest range began to shoot one by one, and the sky suddenly darkened, and a rain of arrows fell from the sky. The Sui army had a large number of crossbowmen, and in the face of the cavalry charge, they were directly thrown in unison.

The engineering units in the rear were also already strong, trebuchets, crossbows and chuáng were fired, and even catapults began to throw gunpowder bags.

The rain of arrows of the Sui army seemed to be endless, completely blocking the sky, and one knight after another fell to the ground. The cavalry of the Liao army frantically attacked, one after another, they had no way to retreat, no food and no help. Only by charging can there be a glimmer of hope.

In front of the columns of chariots rejecting the horses, even the cavalry who rushed out of the rain of arrows could only fall in front of the Sui army unwillingly. The elite cavalry of the three-clan alliance army crisscrossed the grassland but could not penetrate the defense line of the Sui army.

The hoplites were already armoured, and they stood in a row behind the chariots, and the cavalry that eventually rushed here could not escape the fate of being cut in two. The heavy cavalry was ready, but Chen Kefu did not order them to go into battle at all.

Countless logistical auxiliaries brought bundles of arrows from behind the battle, and the soldiers of the Sui army ruthlessly opened their bows to lead the arrows, and then opened their bows to lead the arrows.

From afternoon to dusk and then to night, Sui Jian has been moving forward slowly, like a huge turtle array, but it can deliver a fatal blow. Until dawn, the Liao River was already close in front of him, and the ice floating in the river could not rise and fall. In front of the Sui army, there was no longer a single person standing, and there were many corpses, broken guns and broken flags everywhere.

At the last moment, the generals of Goguryeo, Ulji Wendeok, Rongliu Wang, Gao Jianwu, Mòhé commander Huang Ge, Murwei commander Tiedaan, and Jiren commander Fuyuzhang gathered more than 1,000 cavalry and retreated to the Liao River.

They sent a team of envoys with white flags to negotiate with the Sui army, wanting to open a way for them to leave. Chen Kefu smiled and ordered to shoot the messengers directly. Although the other party contained several forces, since they dared to attack him, then he, Chen Kefu, would also dare to kill them. Blindly showing weakness will only get contempt.

Respect depends on the sword in the hand, and the axiom is only within the range of the bow and arrow. As long as he has the strength, don't say that these soldiers and horses that offend him are the great patriarch and king of their tribe who are killed by him, and they will not have a word.

Gao Jianwu, who was desperate, was ruthless and swore that he was unwilling to be a prisoner of the Sui army, and they also knew in their hearts that being a prisoner of the Sui army at this time was undoubtedly a dead word.

Behind him is the rolling Liao River, and the Liao River full of ice is a dead end, and if you fall into it, you will definitely die. The rain of arrows of the Sui army in front of them was still shooting, and the monster-like array of the Sui army rushed straight towards it with a momentum that crushed everything.

There were only two choices before the crowd, either die in battle or be killed by the captives. At the last moment, Huang Ge, Jifu Yuzhang, and Murowei Tie'an of the Mòhé tribe chose to surrender. Gao Jianwu, who had already seen through Chen Kefu, didn't say a word, turned around and jumped into the Liao River. Yizhi Wende hesitated, his hands were stained with too much blood of the Sui army, and if he fell into the hands of the Sui army, he would never know what kind of punishment he would receive. He remembered Zhang Xutuo, the man who killed himself. Thinking of him, Yizhi Wende didn't hesitate anymore, turned around and jumped into the Liao River.

The rest of the more than 1,000 people, some jumped into the river, and some chose to surrender to the Sui army. It's just that as Gao Jianwu knew, in the face of the surrender of such people, Chen Kefu directly ordered ten thousand arrows, directly turned them into hedgehogs, and finally the corpses were thrown into the Liao River.

90,000 coalition troops, all annihilated. Chen Kefu didn't want to take prisoners, he just wanted to completely cripple Goguryeo. When the coalition army attacked Liaodong City and killed 40,000 prisoners, 30,000 soldiers, and 50,000 people, he had already sworn that the blood debt must be paid in blood. Goguryeo is most famous for its rebellion, and no one knows what the final outcome will be if these people are left.

If the king of Goguryeo surrendered at this time, Chen Kefu did not dare to guarantee that Yang Guang would not accept it again, as in history. He didn't want to shed the blood of the warriors in vain, and there was another important reason, Yang Guang was already suspicious of him, and now Zhang Xutuo was dead again.

Now that Liaodong has been pacified, it is very likely that the birds are hiding their bows, and the rabbits are dead and the dogs are cooking. Now that we have chosen the path of recovering the country, we can no longer be so passive. When it's time to make a move, you have to make a move, and being afraid will never achieve great things.

After this battle, he already planned to change from the Great Sui general, who carefully concealed his ambitions in the past, to a general who listened to the tune and did not listen to the self-respect of the army.

The various clans in Liaodong have been crippled after this battle, and his rear has been stabilized, and he no longer has to worry about being attacked from both sides. With a solid rear, it's time to jump to the foreground.

Yang Guang's toss like this will not last for a few years. Liaodong is already his Liaodong, and it is already winter, and he has a whole winter to rest and prepare. By next year, the world will be the same again!

After writing this chapter, this volume is considered to be over, and a new one is about to begin. The turbulent turbulent times at the end of the Sui Dynasty have kicked off, and the protagonist already has a lot of power. After countless battles, he finally mastered the land of this side. The Liao people were completely weakened and could no longer threaten him. From a small soldier, to a general, and finally to a separating force, he has gone all the way. It will definitely be more exciting later, looking forward to your subscription, thank you!
