Chapter 44: Li Mi's clever plan to settle the world
Speaking from the heart, when he found out that his army was in ambush, Yang Xuangan also launched a general attack regardless of Yiqiē's order, this choice is actually not stupid, and it can even be said to be quite correct, it is a calm and rational choice.
Because in Yang Xuangan's impression, the melee combat ability of the Luoyang Sui army is too weak, usually as long as the rebel soldiers rush to the front with knives, without waiting for the real knife and real gun, the Sui army in Luoyang has already fled for their lives, and when they are fighting with Pei Hongce and Da Xi in good faith, when they are fighting with Yuan Chaoqun and Liu Ziyi, and even when they are fighting with the Daxing reinforcements led by Wei Xuan, it is also the same.
What's more critical is that there are more than 100 rebel soldiers who rushed to the city wall of Luoyang, although this is not much, it is not small, and they are all elite soldiers carefully selected from the rebel ranks. The rebels still had a good chance of breaking through the gates. Considering the gap between the combat effectiveness of the rebel soldiers and the defenders of the Eastern Capital, Yang Xuan felt that this hope was not only great, but also very great.
Yang Xuangan took this idea of pit himself, the rebel soldiers who had rushed to the city wall were indeed elite, but it was a pity that the opponent they encountered was also the most elite army in the Luoyang Sui Army. This time, it has an unprecedented advantage in terms of troops, and the whole team is no longer afraid of too many enemies, but afraid that there are too few enemies to get the decapitation merit!
Afraid that the enemy's head is not enough, the army ambushed on both flanks of the rebels is naturally faster than the first team, one team is more fierce than the other, Guo Feng, who led the army to ambush on the right flank, relied on the tall legs and long legs, the first rushed to the front of the rebel soldiers, not to mention that it was a knife to cut down, the rebel soldiers raised their knives to block, although they accurately hit Guo Feng's thick-backed machete, but the arm strength was insufficient, and the horizontal knife in his hand was collapsed by Guo Feng on the spot, and then Guo Feng wiped it out with a knife, accurately wiped the rebel soldier's neck, cut the throat and spurted blood, The rebel soldier also fell into a pool of blood with a look of disbelief, wondering until death, "Why isn't this officer and soldier like the officers and soldiers I met before, who ran away when they saw me wielding a knife?" ”
There were several rebel soldiers next to him who came to stab Guo Feng with guns, Guo Feng did not dodge or dodge, roared and slashed at the enemy's head, and there were already spears and spears of the national army next to him, and the rebel soldiers were stabbed and stabbed first, forcing the rebel soldiers to return their guns to protect themselves or retreat to dodge, only one spear stabbed Guo Feng's chest, and collided with the solid Mingguang armor on Guo Feng's body with a bell, the tip of the spear was embedded in the armor and could not continue to pierce in, Guo Feng's thick-backed machete also fell at the same time, cutting the enemy's head on the opposite side into two pieces, Blood and brains flew sideways together, and the **** soldiers strode forward in the face of blood and brains, fearlessly facing the enemy in front of them with shining knives and guns.
Blood and brains fly sideways at the same time and the left wing here, leading the ambush soldiers from the left wing to kill the Baoguo Military Captain Chen Ci, the appearance of the four captains of the Baoguo Army is the most elegant, the favorite means of killing the enemy is to take a cooked iron rod to the enemy's head to open the scoop, the thick and heavy wrought iron rod was Chen Ci danced vigorously, the rebel soldiers were hit and injured, smashed to death, in less than a moment, there were two rebel soldiers whose heads were smashed by Chen Ci, smashed like a watermelon, the action was swift, the iron rod was fierce, It seems to be like his fourth brother's legendary right-hand man possessed by him.
Other **** soldiers are not as good as Guo Feng in terms of strength, and they are not as good as Chen Ci who has been trained in Shaolin Temple in terms of martial arts, but everyone does not lose in terms of courage and ferocity, from top to bottom as if they are crazy, blood red eyes and do not want to rush over to slash and kill, the moves are only offensive and not defensive, even if they are desperately shot in the body, they must also greet the enemy with the knife and gun in their hands, all of them are unstoppable, and everyone is unstoppable.
In the face of such a ferocious impact, the more than 100 rebel soldiers on the city wall were of course difficult to parry, no matter how elite they were, and they didn't dare to expect anything to continue to expand their positions, so they honestly retreated to the edge of the city wall to gather and fight, while parrying the **** of the **** with all their might, while waiting for the follow-up team to go to the wall for reinforcements.
The rebel team under the city wall is indeed desperately climbing, but the high-morale **** soldiers like the enemy who attaches these ants to the city, where there is no rebel soldier to cover the wall section, stepping on the ladder or using other tools to go to the city of the enemy, as long as the head just comes out of the arrow stack, the knife and spear of the **** have already been eager to cut out and stab, cut off the enemy's head, pierce the enemy's cheek, let one after another the enemy scream and fall down fourteen meters in the air, and the **** soldier is silent, Continuing to slash at the rebel soldiers who emerged from behind the city wall, many soldiers who were greedy for merit even ventured to lean out and directly slash and stab the ant-attached enemy in mid-air.
Relying on the cover of their comrades in the city, there were also some rebel soldiers who successfully climbed the city wall, but their climbing speed was far from catching up with the slashing speed of the ****, and the army that served the country was like a white ocean, completely surrounding the small island of the rebel team on the city wall, roaring and roaring with knives, slashing guns and stabbing sticks, chopping and smashing one rebel soldier after another into pieces and smashing into meat sauce. And what makes the rebel soldiers even more frightened is the indomitable murderous spirit of the **** soldiers, several **** soldiers who were seriously injured and fell to the ground, all of them hugged and bit an enemy tightly before they died, and they would not let go even if they were cut off their shoulders, creating an opportunity to kill the enemy for their comrades, and also creating the best opportunity for their companions to avenge themselves.
There are other Sui army teams here, although they still do not dare to fight the enemy like the brave weather to report to the national army, but seeing that the legendary white-robed soldiers have completely surrounded the enemy who successfully landed in the city, and still firmly have the upper hand, these Sui soldiers who died and did not even have a pension are still more courageous, in order to survive, and for the reward of how much money and food are left after being deducted layer by layer, these Sui soldiers still shouted and rushed to the edge of the city wall, desperately smashing down the stone ash bottles that had been prepared, At the same time, in accordance with Chen Yingliang's pre-war requirements, he kept firing arrows at the strong stone bridge outside Shangchun Gate, no matter whether he could hit the enemy or not, in short, he tried to shoot the arrows at the bridge deck as much as possible.
The reason why Chen Yingliang made this request was, of course, because Chen Yingliang expected that when the rebel troops launched a sneak attack, it would be impossible to use the loud and slow-moving trench bridge vehicles, and there would not be so much time to erect pontoon bridges, and whether they were attacking or retreating, they must cross the river from the stone bridge, so as long as the defenders maintained the density of bows and arrows aimed at the bridge deck, the effect would be much better than directly firing arrows at the enemy -- firing arrows at the enemy in the distance in the dark at night was not called shooting, it was called blindness.
Chen Yingliang's ruthless construction received a great effect, under the cover of the feather arrows that continued to break through the sky, the rebel soldiers who charged across the river were hit by arrows one after another, and the neat formation was also chaotic, and the soldiers pushed me and trampled on each other in order to avoid the arrows, and not only more soldiers were hit by arrows, but also pushed several rebel soldiers off the moat, and screamed constantly on the stone bridge, many rebel soldiers who were only injured by arrows fell to the ground and were trampled to death by their own companions.
At this time, Li Mi had already thrown down the fast horse of the rear army and rushed to Yang Xuangan's side, shouting at Yang Xuangan: "Duke Chu, we have already been ambushed, why do you still attack with drums?" Isn't this an increase in casualties for nothing? Hurry up and retreat, you must retreat immediately! ”
"Shut up!" Seeing the heavy casualties of his team under the Shangchun Gate, Yang Xuangan, who was in an extremely bad mood, roared loudly and roared angrily: "What do you know? Why didn't the rear army charge? Rush up with them right away! Rush to the city to attack the city? ”
"Duke Chu, are you kidding?" Li Mi was dumbfounded and said: "We only have a bridge that can cross the river, and the officers and soldiers are desperately throwing arrows to cover the bridge deck. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, if you are told to rush at you!" Yang Xuangan didn't listen to Li Mi's persuasion at all.
"Old general, you persuade Duke Chu." Li Mi had no choice but to turn to Li Zixiong, who had just joined the rebels, and begged, "You have rich experience in the battlefield, please persuade Chu Gong." ”
"At this time, it is not appropriate to throw troops into the city." Li Zixiong nodded, and then asked Li Mi suspiciously, seemingly unintentionally, "Mr. Dharma Master, how could there be an enemy on the city wall shouting your name just now?" And said you laughed too early? Who is he? How do you know you'll be on the scene, and how can you be prepared for our sneak attack? ”
"That's right." was reminded by Li Zixiong, Yang Xuangan, who was angry, also woke up, quickly turned his head to look at Li Mi, and asked suspiciously: "Didn't you say that your sneak attack plan could not be seen through by the enemy?" Why did the enemy know that we launched a sneak attack tonight, and how did they know that we were going to sneak attack Shangchunmen? ”
"How do I know this ......?" Li Mi almost didn't cry, and hesitated for a moment before replying: "Maybe our army accidentally showed clues, and the enemy guessed my clever plan, so I made preparations in advance." ”
"Guessed your trick? Sure enough, it was a clever plan, and it was guessed! Yang Xuangan sneered loudly, and was immediately disappointed in Li Mi, while Li Zixiong was silent, knowing that he might soon become the number two person in the rebel army.
At the same time, on the battlefield of the city wall, the national army has killed most of the rebels in the city, and also surrounded the remnants of the rebel soldiers on the city wall. The rebel soldiers under the city wall also said that they could not continue to rush up the city wall, either they were blocked by their own companions and could not find a space to stay on the city wall, or they were hacked to death and stabbed by the **** soldiers during the city up, and fell from the air with a miserable scream.
On the other side, the rebel team unwilling to fail once again sacrificed the tactics of hitting the city, with a team of twenty people, carrying a huge crashing wood to impact the city gate of Shangchunmen, but in the absence of bow and arrow cover, these rebel soldiers carrying heavy hitting wood across the bridge have also become the best live target for the defender archers, the first crashing team has not completely crossed the bridge, the wooden soldiers have been shot to death by the defenders' archers, the giant tree fell to the ground, and no rebel soldier dared to step forward and lift it again, and it can no longer pose a threat to the city gate, It also became a huge obstacle for the rebel soldiers to advance and retreat, giving the defenders of the city more and better opportunities to shoot the enemy with arrows.
The battle has reached this point, in fact, the rebel team has basically no hope of success, seeing that there are fewer and fewer of their own soldiers on the city wall, even Yang Xuangan has already desperately given birth to the idea of retreating, but at this time, the besieging rebel soldiers in the national army team did not know who gave an order, and actually suddenly retreated in stride during the battle, giving up a vacant space, there were less than twenty rebel soldiers left on the city wall were stunned, and the rebel soldiers who were attached to the city behind them suddenly found a place to stay, One after another, Hula Hula jumped from the battlements of arrows and jumped from the top of the city, and the rebel soldiers who were stuck on the ladder were able to continue to go up to the city and continue to throw their troops into the city.
"Rushing up again?" Yang Xuan was so surprised that he almost couldn't believe his eyes, and immediately yelled, "Keep beating the drums, keep charging!" Rush! Rush! ”
"Traitor!" Li Mi pointed to the national service army on the city wall and scolded, "Chen Yingliang thief, you are too ruthless!" It's so inhuman! You can use such a bad trick! Chu Gong, don't be fooled, the enemy is playing with cats and mice, and they deliberately retreated, just to induce us to continue to invest troops on the city wall, so that he can expand the results of the battle and eat our ant elite soldiers one bite at a time! ”
Sure enough, when the elite of the rebels who rushed to the city wall reached more than 100 people again, the **** soldiers who had taken the initiative to retreat before charged up with a cruel smile, and once again the tide drowned the rebel soldiers who had good combat effectiveness but were not enough in number, and the knives, axes, guns and sticks continued to greet the rebel soldiers frantically, and the rebel soldiers understood that they were fooled but had no way to retreat, so they could only resist with all their might, and were forced to resist the **** soldiers who were overwhelming.
On the other side, the corpses of the rebel soldiers who died by arrows have been completely covered with the entire stone bridge across the river, and the rebel soldiers behind can only step on the corpses of their companions and their own wounded soldiers to cross the bridge, and the rebel soldiers who are lucky enough to cross the bridge are not much better, in the case of limited weapons to climb the city, these soldiers not only can not attach to the city, but also have to face the sheep's head stones and rolling wood blows that the defenders are throwing down all the time, countless rebel soldiers died tragically under the city, the corpses under the city walls are everywhere, and the rebel team has suffered heavy casualties, The defenders on the walls suffered few casualties.
Confirmed that there was a advantage to take advantage of, and General Liu Changgong, who didn't like to be a bastard, took the initiative to reinforce the city for the first time, and mainly rotated the Shangchunmen archers whose arms were already extremely sore, and continued to cover the bridge with a rain of arrows. And on the side of Anximen, An Wendu and Helanyi couldn't wait to send a team of archers to grab the credit, and directly detoured back to the battlefield of Shangchunmen from the city wall, and poured arrow rain at the rebel team under the city without hesitation.
The summer night is short, and the sky is already light at this time, and at this time, Yang Xuangan found that at least half of the 1,500 elite soldiers under his command who can fight are already under the Shangchun Gate, and the corpses on the stone bridge across the river are like mountains, the corpses of the rebel soldiers are spread four or five feet high, and the bows and arrows shot by the defenders' archers are densely inserted on the corpse pile, like the density of reeds. On the city wall, there are only less than thirty rebel soldiers left to support them, surrounded by white-robed newspaper soldiers, and they may be completely submerged at any time.
After a while, the golden gong of the rebel team finally rang the bell, and the rebel team that was blocked between the city wall and the moat was like an amnesty, and hurriedly rushed to flee for their lives. Do your best to expand your gains and increase your gains.
The worst is Yang Xuanzong's team, they were pushed to the front of their own team to fight, the heaviest casualties were they, they were the last to retreat, and they became the most convenient and dense target of the Sui army's team, and at the same time, in a hurry to retreat, Yang Xuanzong could not meet the last soldiers on the city wall, so he could only grit his teeth and throw down these elite soldiers who had fought to the death, and fled to the stone bridge in their cries for help, and merged into their own team that fled for their lives in a hurry, and the last twenty or so rebel elites on the city wall, It was also reported that the national army was all cut to pieces, and only two soldiers jumped off the city wall on their own in desperation, breaking their legs together.
It may be the retribution of throwing down the warrior soldiers, during the crossing of the bridge, a whistling and falling feather arrow was impartial, just shot at the back of Yang Xuanzong's neck, shot in from the back of the neck, the arrow protruded from Yang Xuanzong's throat, Yang Xuanzong, who was a general of the eagle, didn't even have time to scream, and was directly knocked down by the soldiers behind, and the corpse was quickly trampled into a human shape, which became the biggest gain of the Shangchun Gate defenders.
Because no one found out that Yang Xuanzong had been killed by an arrow in the chaos, seeing that the second brother did not come back with the defeated army, Yang Xuangan, who was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, gave up the plan to immediately return to the camp in Kim Yong City, and sent many people to search for the whereabouts of the second brother. Li Mi's clever plan is to calm the world, stealing chickens and rice! Li Mi's clever plan is to calm the world, stealing chickens and rice! ”
Under Chen Yingliang's request and Pei Hongce's order, the Sui army team on the city wall also joined the ranks of shouting slogans, and followed the **** soldiers to shout rhythmically and neatly, "Li Mi's clever plan is to calm the world, and stealing chickens is not a loss of rice!" Li Mi's clever plan is to settle the world, stealing chickens and not eating rice-! ”
Hearing this slogan, the person concerned, Li Mi, was at a loss at first, and then came back to his senses in the strange gaze of the rebel team, and said with a wry smile: "The little thief surnamed Chen, his heart is really small, didn't he just escape his life under your knife, and he just held a grudge until now, if he didn't ruin me and lose the trust of Duke Chu, you would be unwilling, wouldn't you?" ”
Li Mi was smiling bitterly, but Li Zixiong, who had just joined the rebel team, was smiling happily, because Li Zixiong knew in his heart that Yang Xuangan, the number two person in the rebels, would soon be replaced.
