"Fan Zigai, Huangfu Wuyi, Yuan Wendu, you cowardly wastes, have the courage to come out and fight us to the death, what kind of ability is it to hide in the city? Come out! Come out! ”

"Yuan Wendu, you can think clearly, now you open the city gate and surrender, then you must want something, if you resist stubbornly, when we break through Luoyang City, your whole family's head will be gone! It's not decided! ”

"Fan Zigai, old thing, old immortal, come out and fight us, fight us! Old immortal, come out! ”

The sky is too hot, there is not a trace of clouds in the red sun, the ground is smoking, and everyone in the rebel team is sweating, sweating like rain, even the sound of scolding and fighting is much weaker, Yang Wanshuo, the fifth brother of Yang Xuangan, who led three thousand rebels to Anximen to fight, and Yang Xuangan, the fifth brother of Yang Xuangan, who was still the general of the Sui Army Eagle Yang Lang not long ago, dismounted early and sat on the ground, let the soldiers take off their clothes to shade themselves, and scolded and scolded from time to time, "Luck is really fucking bad, but the sun is so big today, and the general is dead." ”

"Fifth General, why don't we go back." Yu Rou, the son of a powerful man who had just joined the rebels, wiped her sweat and said: "Anyway, Fan Zigai's old immortal will definitely not leave the city, and it will be boring to continue like this, so it is better to collect the troops and go back to Kim Yong City as soon as possible, this weather is too hot." ”

"You think I don't want to go back to Kim Yong City to hide from the cold?" Yang Wanshuo said angrily: "But this is the eldest brother's order before leaving, and he is not allowed to withdraw his troops until the afternoon, violating his military order, even if I am his fifth brother, I will be punished!" You can't run away from Henan Zanji! ”

Yu Rou thought about it, so she changed her spearhead and scolded: "It's all that rotten Confucian who herds cattle and has bad ideas, causing us to suffer here, wait for the opportunity, see how I clean him up!" ”

"Li Mi is still very capable, and my father already admired him very much back then." Yang Wanshuo was not as good as Yu Rou, and did not echo Yu Rou's accusation of Li Mi, who offered the plan, but just instructed the soldiers next to him: "Go and give an order to the front, let them scold loudly, and be sure to scold Fan Zigai out of the old immortal." Besides, let the Fulu scouts guard the big and small roads, and never let any enemy scouts go. ”

The pro-soldiers took the order and brought Yang Wanshuo's order to the team that was scolding under the city, but the weather was still too hot, and no matter how much the rebel soldiers who insulted and surrendered under the city cheered up, they couldn't scold a louder voice, and they continued to scold and surrender with weak energy, and many rebel soldiers simply took off their simple armor and scolded under the city with their bare arms, and some of the bold rebel soldiers also ran to the edge of the moat to drink water, completely ignoring the defenders in the city as nothing.

The rebel soldiers really didn't need to worry about the defenders on the city wall, in the face of the insults and battles of the rebel team, the defenders on the city wall didn't even dare to open their mouths to scold back, let alone go out of the city to fight to the death with the rebel team that was in full swing, from top to bottom they were more powerless and listless than the rebels, and many of the defenders simply sat down and squatted, hiding as much as possible in the pitiful shade under the arrow stacks.

In this regard, Yuanwen, the imperial historian who was in charge of guarding the Anxi Gate, completely ignored it, and took the lead in hiding in the cooler castle tower to cool off, explaining that unless the rebels attacked the city, he was not allowed to disturb himself.

After more than half of the afternoon, the situation that could be regarded as lifeless finally changed, and Fan Zigai, who had always been known for his strict management of the army, stayed behind to guard Fan Zigai, and soon after the end of the routine daily patrol of the city, he suddenly led a team of forbidden guards back to Anximen City, and the frightened defenders who were lazy and cold hurriedly rushed to stand up straight facing the outside of the city, and Yuan Wendu, who received the news, also hurriedly rushed out of the city tower and ran to Fan Zigai to salute in a hurry. tremblingly waiting for Fan Zigai's furiousness.

Yuan Wendu's luck is not bad, Fan Zigai just glared at him viciously this time, reminded him that Yuan Wendu's official uniform was not decent enough, and then stood on the edge of the arrow stack to observe the rebel team outside the city, and at the same time, the rebel scolding team outside the city also saw Fan Zigai with a snow-white long beard, and suddenly came to the spirit as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, pointing to Fan Zigai on the city and scolding, desperately trying to provoke Fan Zigai himself, and at the same time sending people to the rebel brigade behind to report the situation to Yang Wanshuo.

After looking at the rebel team expressionlessly, Fan Zigai turned his gaze to Chen Yingliang next to him, and said: "Chen Ji room, Liu Changgong is already sorting out the rear team, and the striker will ask you, go down and prepare the whole team to attack." ”

"Fan stays behind, please wait for a while, let the villain observe the enemy situation for another moment." Chen Yingliang hurriedly pleaded, and turned his head to look at the rebel brigade in the distance.

At this time, after receiving the news of Fan Zigai's appearance, the rebel troops, which had been slightly relaxed, immediately began to regroup, and also issued a neat shouting slogan, and the formation of the previously slightly scattered team quickly recovered neatly. Seeing this scene, Chen Yingliang immediately bowed his hand to Fan Zigai and said: "Fan stays behind, the enemy's morale is not exhausted, please wait for another half an hour, and then let the villain lead the army to attack." ”

"Wait another half an hour?" Fan Zigai frowned slightly, and said, "What? Scared again? Didn't you promise the old man before, saying that the first battle of the national army would be won? ”

"It is precisely because the villain wants to ensure that the first battle must be won, and the first battle will be won big, so he must seize the best opportunity to attack." Chen Yingliang replied respectfully: "On the battlefield, courage is important, but it is equally important to be able to fight with your head. ”

After that, Chen Yingliang hurriedly added respectfully, and said: "The left-behind adults have read military books and are well versed in strategy, after looking at the weather and the environment where the thief team is located, they must have already known the reason why the villain asked to attack later." It's only halfway through noon, and we still have plenty of time. ”

Looking at the blazing sun in the sky, and then at the rebel team in the open area exposed to the scorching sun, Fan Zigai's old-fashioned and strict face showed a rare smile, and said, "Okay, just wait for another half an hour." The old man won't leave either, and after half an hour, see how you break the thief. ”

"Xie Fan stayed." Chen Yingliang thanked him, and said: "Fan Liu, General Huangfu, the villain wants to invite you to the city tower to wait for a while, first, the weather is too hot, which is not good for your health, and second, the thief team is because they saw you appear, so their morale is greatly boosted, after you leave the city wall, the morale of the traitor team will inevitably be exhausted again." ”

Listening to Chen Yingliang's reasonableness, Fan Zigai didn't speak, turned around and walked into the city tower, while walking and sent someone to order Liu Changgong to let the three thousand rear team rest temporarily, the sick Huangfu Wuyi also hurriedly followed, Chen Yingliang ran to the city wall, and asked the **** soldiers to go to the shade to relieve their armor and rest, and replenish light salt water. As Chen Yingliang expected, after Fan Zigai and others disappeared from the city, the rebel ranks first resounded with smug laughter and scolding, and then their morale quickly collapsed, Yang Wanshuo and Yu Rou scolded and scolded back under the canopy made of clothes, and the rebels' strict ranks were scattered again.

For Fan Zigai and Huangfu Wuyi, who are likely to have sent out a false report of military intelligence, this half an hour is probably the longest half hour of their lives, the air in the city tower seems to be frozen, so depressed that people can't breathe, Rao is Fan Zigai has experienced countless storms and waves in his seventies, and it is inevitable that he is nervous in this one, and his palms are slightly sweaty.

Chen Yingliang is not nervous, countless life-and-death battles with criminal suspects, twice going deep into the thief's nest to go undercover to arrest the murderer, Chen Yingliang has long practiced a steel-like spiritual will, so looking at the rebel team outside the city, Chen Yingliang not only did not have the slightest nervousness, but he didn't even have much excitement about going into battle to show his skills, and his mind was full of various situations and contingency methods that might be encountered on the battlefield.

Pei Hongce, who received the news, came to Anxi Gate at some point, looked at the rebel team beside Chen Yingliang for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Don't expect Liu Changgong's rear team too much, he is a tiger general who became a hereditary official, and he has never been on the battlefield, the first three regiments I rebelled in Bai Sima Ban were all from his command, Yuan Jinwei, who took the lead in the rebellion, or his cronies, his team is unreliable, and you can only rely on yourself, be careful." ”

"Uncle Xie's guidance." Chen Yingliang replied respectfully, and added in his heart, "I never counted on him." ”

Half an hour's time finally came, and after obtaining Fan Zigai's consent, Chen Yingliang strode down the city wall and gathered his troops in the open area under Anximen, and at the same time Fan Zigai sent someone to send an order to Liu Changgong, ordering him to organize the rear army to prepare for the attack.

The organizational discipline of the past thirteen days is not in vain, Chen Yingliang gave an order in the city, and there were only 411 people left, and the **** soldiers immediately wore armor and helmets, put on white cloaks that were different from ordinary Sui army soldiers, and quickly lined up in front of Chen Yingliang, everyone's face was full of excitement and apprehension, but there was no fear and cringe.

At the same time, Liu Changgong, the fourth highest-ranking general of the Sui army in the right military guard, also began to form a whole team, and the three thousand soldiers of the Sui army were like a flock of ducks, people shouted and neighed, and they did not assemble in a team for half a day in a mess, and each soldier's face was full of fear and worry, and his expression was as blank as if he was about to be executed. In order to cheer up the soldiers, Liu Changgong also openly shouted, "Brothers, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we are just the rear team, just lined up on the side of the moat, cheering strongly, and the strikers are the four hundred boys in filial piety robes in front, let's just cut down the deserters, and if not, we can withdraw to the city at any time!" Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! ”

At the same time as Liu Changgong shouted, Chen Yingliang refused the war horse sent by Fan Zigai, and now Chen Yingliang, who is still mediocre in riding, rode a war horse into battle, not only did not help at all, but also became the target of the rebel team, but it was better to fight on foot with the soldiers of the national army.

Randomly designated a soldier as the standard-bearer, both hands handed the flag of loyalty to the country in front of him, in front of more than 400 **** soldiers, Chen Yingliang said loudly: "Brother, the military flag will be handed over to you, you hold the military flag and rush with me, the remaining 410 brothers follow the military flag, the military flag is the soul of the army, so from now on, you are our soul!" You must protect the flag as if it were your life, the flag is in the people, and the flag is dead! ”

In the gaze of all the **** soldiers, and under the gaze of countless Sui army civil and military soldiers in and out of the city, the soldier blushed, knelt down on Chen Yingliang's knees, and kowtowed three times with a bang, and then stood up, took the military flag with both hands, and stood beside Chen Yingliang without saying a word.

"Soldiers, I didn't have time to tell you the reason just now, our attack time is ahead of schedule." Chen Yingliang said loudly: "It's me who asked Fan to stay behind for two reasons, one is that I can't tell you for the time being, and the other reason is that our opportunity to win the first battle has come!" Outside the city, there are only 3,000 rabble of Yang Rebel's thief army, who is the general who leads the team, the scouts sent by Lord Fan do not dare to approach to reconnoitre, and they don't know yet, but we can know who the general of the thief army who leads the team is! As for how we know who the general of the thief army is, what method do you say? ”

Faced with Chen Yingliang's strange question, the **** soldiers were a little confused for a while, but Chen Zhihong, one of the only two captains in the **** team, reacted, and the first replied loudly: "Arrest the general of the thief army, or hack him to death on the battlefield, we can know who he is!" ”

"That's right, I don't know who the enemy general is, just catch him and ask him!" Chen Yingliang said loudly: "This is the easiest way and the most effective way!" ”

After saying it loudly, Chen Yingliang raised his voice again and shouted: "Report to the **** soldiers, sue me, what are we fighting for?" ”

"Kill thieves and quell rebellion! Serve one’s country with true allegiance! More than 400 soldiers replied loudly in unison.

"That's right! Kill thieves and quell the rebellion! Serve one’s country with true allegiance! Chen Yingliang shouted: "The slogan is shouted, our opportunity has come, Fan Liushou has already ordered, win this battle, and the reward will be doubled!" The reward for coming back alive is doubled! The reward for dying on the battlefield is tripled! For the sake of the emperor, for the sake of the imperial court, for the thousands of innocent people in Luoyang City, and for our own sake, we must win this battle! ”

Roaring, Chen Yingliang raised his arms and shouted, "Kill thieves and quell the rebellion!" Serve one’s country with true allegiance! ”

"Kill thieves and quell rebellion! Serve one’s country with true allegiance! Kill thieves and quell the rebellion! Serve one’s country with true allegiance! Kill thieves and quell the rebellion! Serve one’s country with true allegiance! "I have long been accustomed to Chen Yingliang's request to report the **** soldiers who shouted neatly, repeatedly raised their weapons and shouted, infecting both the companions in the team and the companions in the team.

"Soldiers, sing our military song and follow me out of the city!" Chen Yingliang ordered loudly, and shouted again: "City gate officer, open the city gate!" ”

"The wolf smoke rises, the rivers and mountains look north, the dragon rolls, the horse neighses, and the sword qi is like frost ......."

In the loud military song, the Luoyang city gate slowly opened, Chen Yingliang held the horizontal knife in his hand, strode out of the city gate with his head held high, the banner of loyalty to the country followed closely under the high holding of the flag bearer, Guo Feng and Chen Zhihong two captains surrounded left and right, and the remaining four hundred and eight **** soldiers lined up to follow, and the military song always echoed in the ranks of the national army, "...... I am willing to defend the land and reopen the territory, and I want to let the great Sui -- let -- and all the nations will come to congratulate -- ! ”

Hearing the slogans and military songs, and seeing the gate of the Eastern Capital slowly opened, the rebel ranks were already in a big mess, and they hurriedly put on their armor, Yang Wanshuo and Yu Rou probed their heads and looked around, saying that they couldn't believe that the defenders of the Eastern Capital, who had been defeated in the field battle, would have the courage to go out of the city for a decisive battle, until they saw the **** soldiers lining up to go out of the city, Yang Wanshuo and Yu Rou came back to their senses as if they had just woken up from a dream, and hurriedly shouted and ordered the army to line up to meet the battle.

The rear team of the Sui army led by Hu Benlang Liu Changgong is still slowly walking into the city gate, Fan Zigai, Huangfu Wuyi and Pei Hongce and other important ministers of the eastern capital have already walked to the edge of the city wall, and watched Fan Zigai gamble on the fame of his life and took the risk to form the first battle of the debut of this newspaper ****,

As if infected by this tense atmosphere, a cool breeze suddenly blew, and slightly rolled up a little flag corner of the banner of Jingzhong Serving the Country written by Fan Zigai, by the way, a big reason why Fan Zigai agreed to give Chen Yingliang this opportunity was the slogan that Chen Yingliang shouted, the military flag he requested.

Chen Yingliang was the first to walk across the stone bridge on the moat, and the rebels on the side of the moat scolded the few people and did not dare to fight, so they fled back to the brigade of the main formation, and let the **** soldiers sing military songs and strode across the bridge, and gradually assembled into a formation on the outside of the moat.

The wind gradually became stronger, and gradually unfolded the whole Jingzhong national flag, the north of the sky saw the dark clouds like ink, Chen Yingliang looked at the enemy formation five hundred steps away, and found that the rebel team was still in a hurry, and looked back at the national army team, and found that the newspaper **** team had all gone out of the city, and had quickly assembled into a team, but the three thousand rear army led by Liu Changgong was still crawling slowly like a turtle in the city gate.

"This is my only chance, Chai Shao, Li Yuan, I must make you regret it!" muttered silently in his heart, Chen Yingliang raised the horizontal knife and shook it twice, and the military song behind him immediately stopped abruptly, and then Chen Yingliang raised the horizontal knife again and shouted: "Soldiers, our life and death are at stake, fight here!" Rush with me! Kill! ”

Shouting, Chen Yingliang was the first to raise his knife and rushed to the rebel team opposite, four hundred and eleven **** soldiers roared like thunder, each holding a sword and gun banner to follow Chen Yingliang, his eyes were round, and he strode towards the rebel team five hundred steps away, almost eight times his own rebel team, "Kill--!" ”

"The rear team hasn't left the city yet, why are they charging now?" Fan Zigai and Huangfu Wuyi and others on the city wall were all shocked, and Pei Hongce smashed his fist on the arrow battlement, and he was extremely angry with the eldest nephew who was talking on paper.

"No wonder I want to wear a filial piety robe, I want to die in a hurry." Liu Changgong, who had not yet walked out of the city gate, gloated, and almost all of the soldiers and soldiers of the Sui army around him had this in mind.

There is a saying that the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear, but sometimes it is true that only the authorities can better understand what happened, the Sui army is puzzled and gloating about the early charge of the national army, but for the rebels, it is extremely unexpected and surprised, since the mutiny, there has never been such a situation, and the demoralized Sui army team dared to charge the self-army team, let alone the Sui army team that was absolutely weak in strength dared to charge the self-army!

Extremely unexpectedly, Yang Wanxiang and Yu Rou directly exclaimed, and the rebel soldiers faintly gave birth to a kind of fear, and began to gradually fear that these **** soldiers who dared to fight hard and dared to die rushed to the opposite side - after all, the rebel soldiers are also people, and the team is composed of ordinary people, people, boatmen and surrendered Sui soldiers, they are typical rabble, such an army is of course invincible in a good fight, but when it comes to fighting a headwind war and a bitter and bloody battle......, hehe, everyone understands.

Another point, Chen Yingliang's resolute request for white robes also played a great role, this is not that Chen Yingliang let the soldiers of the Baoguo Army wear white robes and become Chen Qingzhi's white-robed soldiers, but Chen Yingliang copied a little bit of Chen Qingzhi's psychological and tactical skills, creating a sense of belonging, cohesion and uniqueness of the Baoguo Army, and also made the rebel team understand that this army is different as soon as they see the Baoguo Army, so as to give birth to a sense of panic about the unknown, and completely lose the psychological advantage in front of the defeated Sui Army.

In the blink of an eye, the black clouds rolling like a tide have covered half of the sky, the wind is blowing strongly, the banner of loyalty to the country is waving in the wind, hunting sounds, rushing towards Chen Yingliang at the front, and it is less than two hundred steps away from the rebel team.

"Drums! Cheer for the Great Sui Warriors! When the dark clouds completely covered the entire sky, Fan Zigai finally remembered this important event.

"Beat the drums, charge! Can't lose on morale! Yang Wanshuo finally remembered this important event, and hurriedly yelled and ordered the army to charge.

"Boom!" The sudden explosion of thunder completely drowned out the sound of war drums on both sides. A red flash in the distance to the north, as if the black cloud was lifted apart, revealing a large piece of blood, the cool breeze mixed with the rain stars, slapped on the faces of Chen Yingliang and the soldiers of the National Army, Chen Yingliang's footsteps did not stop, and the footsteps of the **** soldiers did not stop, and the roar in his mouth seemed to cover up the thunder in the sky, "Kill-!" ”

Some of the rebel soldiers began to counter-charge, but the pace was obviously not as fast as when they were in the confrontation with the Sui army a few days ago, and some of the rebel soldiers were already worried, "Who is the person on the other side?" ”

"Boom!" Another lightning bolt crossed the sky, reflecting the ground brightly, and when the first bean-sized raindrop hit Chen Yingliang's face, the **** soldiers led by Chen Yingliang were less than thirty steps away from the rebel team, and Guo Feng and Chen Zhihong, who temporarily served as captains, also crossed Chen Yingliang in the charge together, and both rushed to the front.

The conscience of heaven and earth, Chen Yingliang, who is greedy for life and afraid of death, really didn't deliberately slow down this time, but Chen Yingliang's malnourished small body really couldn't outrun the strong Guo Feng and Chen Zhihong, Guo Feng who wanted to marry a beautiful daughter-in-law and Chen Zhihong, who wanted to marry Sister Feng, in order not to let his dream be shattered, in order not to let the temporary position of captain be quickly lost again, so he rushed to the front.

"Boom—"

Another thunderbolt exploded near the battlefield, and the white and bright raindrops poured down, smashing on the ground that was hot by the sun, the raindrops quickly evaporated, and the white mist rose, completely enveloping the ground in a short period of time, like clouds, Chen Yingliang and the soldiers of the national army were like the heavenly soldiers and generals of the clouds, and directly **** the rebel ranks, and the earth-shattering shouts of killing also echoed in the torrential rain, "Kill-!" ”
