The battle of ambushing the rebel sneak attack team was the first time that the Baoguo army cooperated with other Sui army teams to fight the first city defense battle, and the results suddenly exceeded the sum of the previous several city defense battles, in the case of negligible casualties, the Luoyang defenders achieved a brilliant record of killing more than 1,800 enemies, and also took shit luck to shoot Yang Xuangan's second brother Yang Xuanzong in the chaotic army, and luckily achieved the biggest victory since Yang Xuangan's mutiny. So much so that after confirming this windfall, the already happy Shangchun Gate City suddenly thundered again, and the soldiers and generals rushed to celebrate each other, cheering for a long time.

This is also a very significant victory, facing the main team of the rebels who have not been defeated once since the beginning of the army, and it is also the elite team of the rebels who have just defeated 40,000 Daxing reinforcements, and the morale and fighting spirit are very strong and the rebel soldiers who are eager for revenge, the defenders of the eastern capital not only withstood their attack, but also launched an unprecedented hand-to-hand combat with them, and finally completely eliminated the elite soldiers of the rebels who attacked the city wall, and even deliberately retreated for a time due to abnormal perversion, luring the rebel team to use the tactics of adding oil, The bloody battle of Tongguò eliminated more elite rebels, played a firmer confidence in victory, and also severely damaged the morale and fighting spirit of the rebel team, and poured a basin of ice water on the head of the main rebel army with high morale.

At the same time, this is also a great victory to make the decision-makers of the Eastern Capital confused, in the middle of the night suddenly heard a huge shouting sound from the direction of Shangchun Gate, Yang Tong, the nine-year-old Yue Wang, was directly frightened and cried, Fan Zigai, who lived in Lide Fang, jumped up from the bed in shock, rushed out of the door directly with bare feet to check the situation, and found that the shouting and killing came from Shangchun Gate, and Fan Zi's wrinkled old face suddenly became whiter than his beard and hair. And Huangfu Wuyi, who was sick in bed, was so shocked that he fainted directly, because Huangfu Wuyi knew that he and Fan Zigai had already deployed most of the reserves in Anximen.

When it was almost determined that the eastern capital was difficult to protect, the defenders of Shangchunmen, who were supposed to be fighting alone and unprepared at the same time, suddenly sent the news of the success of the ambush of the enemy, and Fan Zigai and Huangfu Wuyi, who had not even had time to send reinforcements to Pei Hongce, were naturally fainted on the spot, and asked each other if they had arranged for Pei Hongce to arrange an ambush at Shangchunmen, and after getting a negative answer to each other, if it wasn't for the fact that the war was tight, Fan Zigai and Huangfu Wuyi would definitely immediately call Pei Hongce to the front and ask carefully in person.

It is precisely because of this that after receiving the news of the great victory in defending the city and the defeat of the rebels, the first thing Fan Zigai and Huangfu Wuyi did was of course to lead a large group of frightened civil and military forces in the eastern capital to rush to the Shangchun Gate City, and asked Pei Hongce Xingshi in person - why didn't they report to the decision-making level of the Eastern Capital in advance? Pei Hongce replied with great grievances: "Fan Liu, General Huangfu, I can't blame me, but I don't have this certainty, I didn't expect my unfilial nephew to guess so accurately, not only guessed that the traitor was preparing a sneak attack, but also guessed the time and place of the sneak attack, I was afraid that you would think it was too ridiculous, so I didn't dare to report it to you, so I just used the defenders of Shangchun Gate to arrange an ambush." ”

"What?" Fan Zigai felt incredulous again, and asked with wide eyes: "Your unfilial nephew, not only guessed that the traitor was going to sneak attack, but also guessed the time and place when the traitor launched the sneak attack?" Can he not know the prophet? ”

"It's not that it's an unpredictable prophet." Pei Hongce replied truthfully: "He is based on some clues to analyze the traitor's intentions, although I think his analysis results are too magical, it is impossible to guess all the enemy's intentions, but I think his analysis is very reasonable, so I arranged this ambush according to his plan, but I didn't expect that it was all guessed correctly by this little bastard." ”

"How did he guess?" Fan Zigai blurted out a question, and then without waiting for Pei Hongce to answer, he immediately waved his hand and shouted, "Where is he?" The old man went directly to ask him, this little bastard, he didn't report this matter to the old man in advance! What a great opportunity, if the old man knew in advance and transferred all the reserves to Shangchunmen to set up an ambush, our gains this time would have to be at least doubled! ”

Chen Yingliang will of course be with the team of the national army, in the fierce battle last night, although the newspaper **** has always occupied the initiative on the battlefield, but the opponent is the most elite main soldier in the rebel army after all, so the casualties of the newspaper **** are still quite small, a total of thirty-six people were sacrificed, including one of the earliest brigade commanders of the national army, and the number of light and serious injuries also reached 100 people, setting a record for the largest casualty since the establishment of the ****, Chen Yingliang had to accompany the soldiers to bid farewell to the sacrificial companions, didn't he? At the same time, in order to buy people's hearts and shape the image, Chen Da Yingdi has to personally medicate and bandage the wounds of the wounded soldiers, right?

After being lifted up by the tall Fan Zigai like an eagle catching a chicken, Chen Yingliang first begged Fan Zigai to put himself down temporarily, and waited until the wounded soldiers in front of him were bandaged with his own hands, Chen Yingliang led the **** team to salute Fan Zigai and others, and Fan Zigai waved his hand impatiently and shouted: "The salute is exempt, you have made great contributions to the court, the old man will naturally ask His Royal Highness the King of Yue to reward you for your merits, what should you do, Chen Yingliang, you bastard boy come with me, the old man has something to ask you." ”

After that, without waiting for the **** soldiers to salute and thank them, Fan Zigai immediately slipped the thin Chen Yingliang to the side like an eagle catching a chicken, and asked Chen Yingliang with a split head and face: "How did you guess it?" Give the old man a careful answer, otherwise, the old man can only suspect that you are communicating rebellious, and you are teaming up with Yang to act and deceive the old man's trust in you. ”

"Fan stays behind, I didn't expect your old man to tell jokes." Chen Yingliang said with a wry smile: "The villain has ruined the good deeds of Yang rebel several times, and also killed his second brother Yang Xuanzong, Yang rebel thief is now eager to cut the villain with a thousand knives, the villain went to collude with him, didn't he send it to the door to try the knife for him?" ”

Huangfu Wuyi and Yang Wang next to him all laughed, and Fan Zigai couldn't help but smile and shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, talk quickly, how did you guess it?" ”

"It's actually very simple, it's reasoning and analysis." Chen Yingliang also replied: "Yesterday at noon, the villain boarded Anxi Gate to investigate the enemy's situation, and found that the enemy was rushing to build siege weapons on the battlefield, and immediately understood that Yang rebels were deliberately luring the enemy, wanting to lure our army to attack, and then use infantry to contain our army, and then use cavalry to copy our flank or back. Regarding this, the villain has asked his uncle Pei Guogong to report to you and General Huangfu, and our scouts disguised as ordinary people have also detected that the traitor does have ambushes, which proves that the villain's speculation is correct. ”

"The old man also felt that there was something wrong with the traitors rushing to make siege weapons on the battlefield, so he didn't send you to fight." Fan Zigai nodded, and urged: "To the point, how did you guess that Yang was going to launch a sneak attack?" ”

"It was only by relying on Yang rebel's shallow trick to lure the enemy that the villain guessed it." Chen Yingliang replied truthfully: "At that time, the villain also laughed at Yang for being a traitor and a thief, and he wanted to use such a superficial trick to lure the enemy out of the city, and he didn't consider that our team had to hold the eastern capital city with as many as twelve city gates, and there were not many mobile troops, so we had to be cautious every time we went into battle. But the villain soon found out that something was wrong, and felt that the young and ignorant villain could also take this into account, how could the battle-hardened Yang Xuangan traitor and the cunning Li Mi traitor not take this into account? Why use this rather superficial trick to lure the enemy? ”

"The villain analyzed at the time and felt that there were only two possibilities." Chen Yingliang continued: "The first is that Yang rebels rely on his sufficient forces and want to try their luck to see if they can lure the enemy to success. The second is that Yang rebels have other purposes, and the so-called trick to lure the enemy is just to set up an illusion, so that we can take it lightly and expose flaws, so that he can achieve the real purpose he expects. ”

"What is the real purpose of Yang Rence? The villain thought so at the time, if we were in the scheme and thought that the Yang rebels were just planning to lure us out of the city for a decisive battle, then we would definitely adopt the following strategies, one is to insist on not fighting, and the other is to gather heavy troops in Anximen to strengthen the defense of the Anximen city section, because Yang rebels disturbed every half an hour every half an hour the night before, our Anximen defenders are already overwhelmed, and they dare not risk fighting at night, and they must prevent Yang rebels from suddenly coming to Anximen in the ten falsehoods, and really attack Anximen at night, The only way to concentrate the reserves in the Anximen area is to prevent accidents. ”

"With this in mind, the villain immediately noticed that our flaws had appeared." Chen Yingliang put away his hippie smile and said solemnly: "Our reserves are concentrated under Anximen, so once the other city gates are attacked, the defenders can only fight alone, but our emergency reserves can not rush to the battlefield as quickly as possible to reinforce, and because the rebels continue to harass Anximen, our reserves in Anximen will never dare to rush to the battlefield immediately, and must confirm the enemy's situation before daring to make a move, so as not to be diverted from the mountain by the enemy, deceive our reserves, and then take the opportunity to really storm Anximen." Therefore, the villain concluded at that time that Yang rebels kept harassing Anximen, and deliberately arranged ambushes outside Anximen, the purpose of which was to lure us to gather heavy troops at Anximen, and then take the opportunity to attack other city gates! ”

"Brother Ying Liang's analysis is too correct." Liu Changgong, who was in charge of leading the reserve team next to him, interjected and said: "Last night, we heard shouts of killing on the side of Shangchun Gate, and the last general was worried that Yang rebels would move the tiger away from the mountain, so he didn't dare to immediately lead the reserve team to Shangchunmen for reinforcements, until he sent someone to confirm that Shangchunmen was attacked by the rebel brigade, and the last general dared to lead the army over to reinforce with confidence." ”

Fan Zigai shook his head and sighed: "It's reasonable, this kind of reasoning, why didn't the old man think of it yesterday?" ”

"Then how did you guess the time of Yang Rebel's sneak attack?" Huangfu Wuyi asked.

"Two points." Chen Yingliang raised two fingers and explained: "The first is the weather, yesterday's weather was not good, the sky was very hazy, and it is almost certain that there will not be too good moonlight at night, which is a good opportunity to launch a sneak attack." The second is that Yang Xuan feels the temper of the traitor, our Eastern Capital army has ruined his dream of annihilating the Daxing army, he already hates us to the core, he must be anxious to take revenge, and he is worried that there may not be a better chance if he delays, so the villain immediately concluded that Yang rebel will definitely launch a sneak attack last night! ”

"Chen Ji, then how did you expect that Yang rebels would sneak attack Shangchun Gate?" Yang Wang, the great-granddaughter's well-known Guozi priest, also asked curiously: "There are as many as twelve gates in the eastern capital, why do you conclude that Yang rebels attacked Shangchun Gate instead of other city gates?" ”

"The villain uses the method of elimination." Chen Yingliang replied: "The twelve city gates of the eastern capital, Anxi Gate, which has been heavily guarded, is of course the first to be excluded, and the four northwest gates such as Longguang Gate can also be excluded, because these four city gates are directly connected to the imperial city, the city defense is the most solid, and the city wall is also the highest, at the same time, these four gates are full of mountains, forests and rivers, although the terrain is conducive to a small group of rebels sneaking attack, but it is not conducive to the march and development of the traitor's brigade, it's a big deal that we can give up the urn city to trap the rebel sneak attack team, and we can buy the most buffer time to wait for reinforcements. ”

"The five gates of the southern city are even more impossible." Chen Yingliang continued: "The southern city of Luoyang, the eastern capital, is located on the south bank of Luoshui, and the traitors stationed in the northwest of Luoyang want to attack the south gate, they must first cross the Luoshui River, which is in the flood period during this time, which is not only a waste of time, but also extremely easy to be discovered by our scouts. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the traitors really succeed in sneaking up on Nancheng, there is no threat to us, because there are only three bridges in the north and south of Luoyang that can be used for transportation, and when we find that Nancheng is attacked, we have enough time to deploy heavy troops on these three stone bridges to intercept them, and even directly destroy these three bridges, so that the traitor team cannot cross the river. ”

"After eliminating these ten city gates, the sneak attack target of the traitor team is about to come out, which is one of the Shangchun Gate and Hui'an Gate." Chen Yingliang smiled and said: "And there are two advantages for the rebels to sneak attack these two city gates, the first is to create darkness under the lights, so that even if we suspect that the traitors are attacking the west, it is difficult to think that the traitor team will sneak attack Shangchun Gate or Hui'an Gate, which is closest to Anxi Gate." ”

"The second is because of the distance, the repeated harassment of the traitors outside the Anxi Gate the night before yesterday, the villain can also be clearly heard in the Jiaoye Workshop adjacent to the Shangchun Gate, so the soldiers of our army on the Shangchun Gate City will definitely be able to hear it, and it will also be affected, the distance between the Shangchun Gate and the Anxi Gate is already relatively far, and the Hui'an Gate, which is closer to the Anxi Gate, will naturally be affected, and our soldiers who defend the city will not sleep at night because of the harassment, and then lose their vigilance because of poor rest, creating more and better sneak attack opportunities for the traitor team."

After nodding slowly, Fan Zigai said in a deep voice: "So, you conclude that the traitor team sneaked up on Shangchun Gate and ignored Hui'an Gate, also because of distance?" The distance between Shangchunmen and Anximen is nearly half the distance between Hui'anmen and Anximen, so that the reserve team we arranged in Anximen will definitely take more time to rescue Shangchunmen than to rescue Huianmen. ”

"Yu Fan stays behind, the distance is still a small matter, and there is a more critical point." Chen Yingliang said respectfully: "The villain concluded that Yang was a traitor to Shangchunmen as the target of the sneak attack, because Yang Xuangan was a traitor's character, last time the villain humiliated Yang Xuangan with words in Shangchunmen, and listened to the prisoner's confession, Yang Shun was shot off half of his ears by our army and broke his appearance, so the villain concluded that with Yang Rebell's arrogant and arrogant character, he would inevitably choose Shangchunmen to be ashamed!" ”

The civil and military forces of the Eastern Capital who were present stopped talking, and they all looked at Chen Yingliang with the same eyes as aliens, and Fan Zigai also looked at Chen Yingliang coldly, his eyes were like cold electricity, cold and sharp, and he looked at Chen Yingliang, who used public funds to buy himself an Apple mobile phone, and was furious, for fear that his shameless crime would be detected by the notoriously honest and self-disciplined Fan Zigai. What Chen Yingliang didn't expect was that Fan Zigai suddenly raised his leg and kicked Chen Yingliang in the stomach, and then roared: "Bastard boy, such a reasonable and incisive analysis, why didn't you report it to the old man yesterday?" If you had said earlier, the old man had arranged the reserves on the battlefield of Shangchunmen, how many results could we have gained?! ”

"yes." Liu Changgong was also very depressed and said, "Brother Yingliang, why didn't you sue me yesterday?" Otherwise, if I lead my troops to ambush in Shangchunmen, wouldn't our gains be more and greater? ”

"Fan stays behind to forgive sins, General Liu, I'm not greedy for merit." Chen Yingliang covered his stomach and said with a wry smile: "I said it yesterday, do you dare to believe it?" I have no circumstantial evidence for these judgments, all rely on reasoning and analysis out of thin air, I told you yesterday, you may not dare to believe it, I myself am not absolutely sure, if my analytical reasoning is slightly worse, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"Besides." Chen Yingliang took the opportunity and said: "The villain doesn't even have a pass token to enter the imperial city, how can he go to meet Fan Liushou you or General Huangfu and report this matter to you?" ”

"Little bastard, you really know how to seize the moment." Fan Zigai, who was old enough to be Chen Yingliang's grandfather, scolded and said: "Okay, when the old man returns to the imperial city, he will ask for a pass token for you, and if there is any major military event in the future, you can enter the imperial city at any time to report." ”

Chen Yingliang hurriedly thanked him, Fan Zigai didn't bother to pay attention to Chen Yingliang's pretense, but asked again: "One more thing, I heard that you asked the soldiers to shout and humiliate the traitor Li Mi in front of Yang and the traitor, what is this for?" ”

"In order to separate Yang rebels and Li Mi's traitors." Chen Yingliang put away his hippie smile again, and replied solemnly: "Presumably, the left-behind adults, you have also learned about the situation through the interrogation of the captives, Yang Xuangan is obedient to Li Mi's tactical plan, whether it is to capture Kim Yong City or ambush our Daxing reinforcements, it is actually from Li Mi's plan." The villain felt that Li Mi, a traitor, was indeed very set, and if Yang Shun continued to obey him, the disaster would inevitably be greater, so the villain seized the opportunity to humiliate Li Mi and hit Li Mi's reputation, so that Yang Shun would no longer be so obedient to him, and reduce the danger of the traitor team. ”

Fan Zigai smiled rarely, and said: "I hope your method can be effective, but it doesn't matter, Yang is a traitor who is as cunning as a fox as a traitor, and our army in the Eastern Capital also has you, a little devil who is more cunning than a fox, and you need to be afraid of him Li Mi traitor?" ”

Although the words are very unpleasant, but Fan Zigai's words of appreciation for Chen Yingliang are almost beyond words, Chen Yingliang hurriedly and pretended to be modest, but unfortunately Fan Zigai, who has a straightforward personality, dislikes Chen Yingliang's slippery personality the most, waved his hand and shouted: "Don't talk about those hypocritical nonsense, do what you should do, the old man also has official business, the reward of ****, and when the old man asks His Royal Highness the King of Yue, he will send someone to send it." ”

"Thank you, Lord Liu." Chen Yingliang hurriedly thanked him, raised his head again, stopped talking, and hesitated for a moment before saying to Fan Zigai: "Fan stays behind, the villain still has a few words, can I tell you alone?" ”

"What words? Is it related to the major events of the imperial court? Fan Zigai asked rhetorically, seeing Chen Yingliang nodding and looking quite solemn, Fan Zigai didn't say anything more, grabbed Chen Yingliang and walked away, and no one in the Eastern Capital Wenwu dared to follow.

dragged Chen Yingliang to a secluded place a little farther away, Fan Zigai let go of Chen Yingliang, and Chen Yingliang also said in a low voice: "Fan stays behind, the villain is most worried about now, that is, Yang rebels will no longer attack Luoyang City, and lead his rebel team to move west to attack Guanzhong, we don't know the situation on Wei Shangshu's side for the time being, but it must be very bad, it is difficult to prevent Yang rebels from attacking Guanzhong, and our army in the eastern capital is also insufficient, and it is also difficult to prevent Yang Rebellious from attacking Guanzhong." ”

"The old man is more worried than you." Fan Zigai also said in a low voice: "The main force of Guanzhong has been taken by Wei Wensheng to the eastern capital and basically lost, and now Guanzhong is empty, if Yang Zhi's main force moves to the west, Guanzhong will be extremely dangerous." ”

"Fan stays behind, the villain has a plan, and he can have a great confidence that Yang Wei's main force will continue to contain Luoyang City." Chen Yingliang said in a low voice: "It's just that this plan is a bit shady, and it will hinder the name of the left-behind adults." ”

"Tell me about it." Fan Zigai commanded.

"Yang Xuangan's second brother, Yang Xuanzong, died in battle on the stone bridge in Shangchunmen, which is covered by our bows and arrows, so the traitor team failed to take Yang Xuanzong's body, and the soldiers who cleaned the battlefield were transported back." Chen Yingliang said in a low voice: "If the left-behind adults don't mind, you might as well go to the book to fight Yang as a traitor, and say that you will hang Yang Xuan's corpse on the Spring Gate and whip the corpse every day ......." ”

"Boy, it's enough to be yin." Fan Zigai smiled coldly, then suppressed his smile and said: "You can give it a try, Wei Wensheng, that old thing, for the sake of the Great Sui Imperial Court, can dig up the grave of Yang Shun's ancestor and burn the bones and ashes, all for the sake of serving the country with loyalty, and the old man is willing to bear this insult and infamy." ”
