Chapter 258: The Battle of Yanmen (6)

Where is Chen Yingliang? Of course, in the decisive battle between the main force of the Chinese army and the Turkic Chinese army, the reversal of the situation on the battlefield of the partial division can only ensure that it does not lose and obtain partial victory, and if it wants to achieve a comprehensive victory in the real sense, completely smash the siege of Yanmen City by the Turkic army, and rescue the wife of Emperor Yang of Sui and a large group of civil and military officials of the Great Sui court, the key is still the main battlefield of the Chinese army.

After more than half an hour of fierce fighting, the situation on the main battlefield still did not change a little, it was still the Sui army's heavy infantry to attack the front of the Turkic army, the Turkic army attacked the left flank of the Sui army, relying on the expulsion of Turkic prisoners to impact the enemy's position to seize the opportunity, the Sui army's heavy infantry once occupied a certain upper hand, opened a gap in the front of the Turkic battle formation, and rushed into the interior of the Turkic front formation, but before the strength of the troops had time to expand the gap, the Turkic army, which had the advantage in the number of troops, had already increased its troops to counterattack, desperately making up for the gap, Little by little, the heavy infantry of the Sui army was squeezed out, and the battle situation was brought back to the balance of power.

The situation on the left flank of the Sui army was the same, the Turkic army rushed the Taiyuan Sui army on the left flank from the front and west, and the Taiyuan Sui army fought in formation under the command of Li Jiancheng, carrying the horse scimitar of the Turkic army with flesh and blood, fighting very tenaciously, and never gave the Turkic army the slightest chance to break into the battle array.

The battle situation was stalemate, but the commanders of the two sides, Chen Yingliang and Shibi Khan, never made any adjustments, and all of them allowed their own soldiers to fight bloody battles with the enemy, killing flesh and blood, the sun and moon were dull, the sky and the earth changed color, and no matter how heavy the casualties were, they refused to increase troops and reinforcements. Shibi Khan relied on a large number of generals and a large number of troops, and it can be said that he could not ask for such a meat grinder war of attrition, and Chen Fuliang relied on the fact that there were still hole cards in his hands that had not been played, and it would take time for the enemy's treacherous plans to take effect, and he refused to expand the scale of the war too much at this time.

Shibi Khan and Chen Fuliang were both confident and unhurried, but Ambassador Li Yuan and Li quit, and several times Chen Fuliang did his best to share the pressure on his descendant team who was fighting hard, but Chen Fuliang turned a deaf ear at all, and finally Chen Yingliang simply scolded: "Shut up!" Ambassador Li, don't forget, you are still suspected of collaborating with the enemy, and you are not qualified to participate in my military plane! ”

"Chen Dashuai, whether the lower officials are suspected of collaborating with the enemy, now you have the final say, and in the future, it will be the emperor's majesty who has the final say." Li Yuan said angrily: "But now you are simply joking with the lives of soldiers, the armor burden of heavy infantry is already heavy, the longer the combat time, the stricter the body will fall, and the more the body will fall, the more severe the casualties will be, don't you understand this truth?" ”

"Ambassador Li, when did the heavy infantry under your command become old, weak, sick and disabled? It's only been a quarter of an hour, and you can't even wear armor? Chen Fuliang sneered and asked, and then sneered and said: "Ambassador Li, I know that you want to preserve the strength of your lineage, but you also have to find a decent excuse, don't look at your age is almost three times my age, but when it comes to the big and small wars you have experienced, do you have more than half of me?" ”

Li Yuan's old face turned red, and he just wanted to argue, but Li Jing next to him suddenly said: "Dashuai, pay attention, there is a move on the Turkic side." ”

Chen Fuliang and Li Yuan hurriedly looked up, but saw that there were really two armies on the Turkic side from both flanks, one left and one right outflanking the flanks of the heavy infantry of the Sui army. ”

"That's how it should be." Li Jing analyzed: "If we increase our troops on the frontal battlefield, we will be pinned down by the Turkic army in the front and disperse our weak forces, and then the Turks will use the means of increasing the left flank and attacking the right flank to lure us to divide our troops more and contain our right flank, and the strength of the Chinese army will be thin, and the Turkic army will be more sure of attacking our Chinese army in a roundabout way." ”

"How to deal with it?" Chen Fuliang asked.

Li Jing smiled and replied: "In the nineteenth year of the emperor's reign, Yang Su fought against the Turkic Datou Khan, and the Datou Khan attacked our army with 100,000 cavalry, Yang Su ordered the general Zhou Luohu to lead the elite soldiers to meet the attack, Zhou Luohu led the army to resist the front, lured the Turks to surround him with heavy troops, and waited for the Turks to attack Zhou Luohu for a long time, the people were sleepy and the horses were lacking, and the morale was frustrated. ”

"It's pretty similar." Chen Fuliang smiled and said with a smile: "Then let's not rush to increase troops, I will be Yang Su once, and I will also listen to Xu Shixu, who led the heavy infantry of the Taiyuan Army, be Zhou Luohu - order Xu Shixu, resolutely resist, and not take a step back!" ”

The herald rushed forward to give the order, but Li Yuan's face was even more gloomy, while secretly scolding Chen Fuliang for being crushed and dusted after death like Yang Su in the future, he glared at Li Jing angrily and secretly scolded: "The grass on the wall, the sycophant, dare to instigate Chen Xiaothief to take the old man's descendant hard top and show the old man a look!" ”

At the same time, the Turkic cavalry attacking left and right had also exchanged hands with the two wings of the Sui army's heavy infantry, and the scale of the fierce battle finally expanded. Shibi Khan couldn't help but be angry, and said angrily: "Dog barbarian, do you want to use this heavy infantry to contain my army?" Well, I'll fulfill you! Attack in the front, completely encircle the barbarian heavy infantry, and then add 5,000 troops to the left flank of the barbarian, continue to storm the left flank of the barbarian, and force the barbarian to divide his troops! ”

The order was conveyed, 5,000 Turkic cavalry quickly went out of the battle, directly to the left flank of the Sui army that was fighting fiercely, and the Turkic army in the front also launched a counterattack, with the help of reinforcements quickly extended to the two wings of the Sui army's heavy infantry, and quickly surrounded the Sui army's heavy infantry.

The two battlefields of the Taiyuan Sui army have entered the white-hot stage, the Turkic cavalry with a large number of people is like a tide slapping on the reef, wave after wave of fierce impact on the two Taiyuan Sui army, the offensive wave after wave, Li Jiancheng army and Xu Shixu have no power to fight back, can only rely on the dense queue to resist the Turkic impact, the soldiers of the first row died in the second row to make up, the soldiers of the second row sacrificed the top of the third row, in order to leave the space to be filled in rotation, the Taiyuan soldiers can only step on the corpses of their companions and the bodies of the wounded soldiers to fight, The corpses at the place of the battle were stacked on top of each other, and the blood flowed down the ground, forming a thick puddle of blood, and both sides suffered very heavy casualties.

Seeing that Chen Fuliang refused to divide his troops to reinforce Li Jiancheng and Xu Shixu, Shibi Khan simply ordered the army to attack the right flank of the Sui army where Yang Xuan was located. Chen Fuliang, who had lost his conscience, seemed to be out of the way, sneering and just ordering Yang Yun to form a formation to guard the right flank and let the Turks attack.

At the same time as the battle on the right flank unfolded, the Yin Shishi also hurriedly reminded Chen Yingliang: "Marshal, be careful, the Turks are probably planning to contain our right flank in such a way, and then attack our front in a roundabout way. ”

"Am I afraid?" Chen Fuliang asked with a confident smile, and said: "The only thing I'm worried about now is the situation in the north. ”

Before the words fell, if the Turkic side split up another army, it detoured south from the open west and killed directly towards Chen Fuliang's Chinese position. Seeing this scene, Chen Fuliang didn't even blink his eyelids, and ordered Niu Jinda to resist, and then sat back in the handsome position, crossed his fingers with his hands and ten fingers upward, stretched his waist comfortably, and said with a smile: "The main Turkic force is completely entangled by us, and the next thing is Jinghou Jiayin, I'm tired of standing, rest for a while, and tell me if there is a change in the battlefield." ”

There is no suspense, in front of the battle-hardened Qian Peng soldiers, the Turkic army that attacked in a roundabout way is destined to take no advantage, the army has not rushed to the range of bows and arrows, etc., it has been suppressed by the strong crossbow of the Qian Peng soldiers, and then rushed closer to the bow and arrow cover, and finally rushed to the front of the Sui army, and there were throwing spears head-on, and then finally rushed to a position where they could fight hand-to-hand, but they were stabbed by the Mo knife soldiers under Niu Jinda, killing the ghosts and wolves, and the people turned over on their backs, not to mention breaking through the frontal interception of the Sui army of Qian Peng, Even if you want to hide from a distance, it is difficult to attack with arrows - the strong bow of the infantry has a longer range than the Turkic horse bow.

Seeing this scene, Li Yuan, who saw the battle of the Peng Sui army for the first time, was of course secretly shocked in his heart, and only then did he understand that the Peng Sui army, which had been trained in countless actual battles, was indeed stronger than his Taiyuan descendants in terms of combat effectiveness and cooperation, and Chen Fuliang did have the ability to be arrogant. At the same time, Shibi Khan was even more furious, despite the fact that nearly half of the army had been put into the battlefield, and put 5,000 troops into the front of the Sui army, and ordered Ashina Sangli, who led the team, to rush into the interior of the Sui army, forcing the Sui army to fight close combat with the Turkic army, and create a ZĂ o fighter for the Turkic reserves.

Sangli's reinforcements attacked according to the order, and it was also at this time that Shibi Khan had a little free up his hands to care about the northern battlefield, but fortunately, several heralds who came to report the battle situation reported that the battle was going well, and the Turkic army had the upper hand on the battlefields of the four partial divisions, among which the Nalun battlefield had already won the battle, and it was only a matter of time before the Sui army's partial divisions were completely defeated. Shibi Khan relieved his mind at this time, nodded and said: "Very good, it's good to have the upper hand, as long as Nalun's side takes the lead in breaking the deadlock, freeing up his hands to reinforce other battlefields, and eating the barbarian divisions one by one, there will be no problem!" ”

"Report ————!"

Joy and sorrow, bad news suddenly came, a scout from the north rushed directly to the golden wolf banner of Shibi Khan, before he could dismount, shouted: "Qi Khan, I don't know what happened, General Nalun suddenly retreated and retreated towards our camp!" ”

"Naren retreated? Why? Shibi Khan was taken aback, hurried to look to the north, and said in surprise: "How is it possible? Our army has the upper hand, and with Nalun's temper, it is impossible for him to retreat timidly? ”

No one could answer Shibi Khan's order, the distance was too far, and Shibi Khan could not see anything except the night sky reflected reddened by countless torches - this correction, it should be said that Shibi Khan only saw another self-army scout rushing straight over, and as soon as he dismounted, he played: "Qiyu Khan, I don't know why, General Rustu on the east bank of the Hutuo River suddenly retreated and retreated to our camp on the east bank of the Hutuo River, and the barbarian army took the opportunity to counterattack, and it seemed that it had bitten the rear of General Rustu. ”

"Rustu is crazy? As crazy as Naron? Shibi Khan was even more shocked, and then hurriedly shouted: "Quick, send more scouts to check the situation, ask why Nalun and Rustu retreated suddenly, and report to me immediately!" Fast, the sooner the better! ”

A large number of scouts rushed north, but the house leak happened to rain overnight, at this time, the Turkic generals around him also reported to Shibi Khan that the battle ahead was not good, and when Shibi Khan hurried to see the situation ahead, he found that the Turkic army that had attacked the front of the Sui army was repulsed again, and the reinforcements led by Sang Li had just arrived and returned to the front, and before he had time to attack, Shibi Khan was suddenly furious and shouted: "What is wrong with being repelled by the barbarians?" The barbarian didn't attack again, no matter him, Sanley will continue to clean up the barbarian! ”

"Khan." At this time, Li Er, who had been crying and fainting before, suddenly spoke, wiped his tears and choked and said: "Khan, the younger generation thinks that we should no longer attack the front of the barbarian army, we are not sure, and it will make our army further sink into the battlefield, we should ask General Sang Li to wait for the time being, and wait to find out the situation on the battlefield in the north." ”

"Fart! Get out of the way! ”

Shibi Khan, who was in a very bad mood, roared angrily, Li Er quickly shut up, and took a step back to show a timid look, and snorted coldly in his heart: "I know you won't listen, but it is exactly what I want, and when you regret it for a while, you will gradually begin to pay attention to my construction." ”

The distance was too far, and the road was blocked by the main Turkic force, Chen Fuliang certainly didn't know that his chaotic plan had begun to succeed, but he patiently waited for the turnaround to appear, and also waited for the emergency signal to be sent out in case of emergency. However, Li Yuan next to him was anxious to become an ant on a hot pot, and once found an opportunity to whisper to Li Jing: "Pharmacist, you persuade Chen Xiaothief that it's time to send reinforcements to my descendants, just say that once my descendant loses, it will also shake the morale of the army." ”

Glancing at Li Yuan, and then at Li Jiancheng and Xu Shixu's second army, who were struggling to support, Li Jing replied expressionlessly: "Ambassador Li, your lineage can still support it, don't worry." ”

"You're ......!" Li Yuan almost didn't roar, and finally suppressed the urge to roar, Li Yuan whispered viciously: "Pharmacist Li, don't forget what I told you at the beginning, Chen Yingliang is a rootless duckweed, and now it is a spring breeze, and it will be able to blow down with a gust of wind in the future." ”

Li Jing finally looked at Li Jing with straight eyes, and suddenly smiled, his smile was also very strange, and asked, "Ambassador Li, do you remember what you said to me at the beginning?" ”

"That sentence?" Li Yuan asked rhetorically.

Li Jing smiled even more strangely, and just when he wanted to speak, the Yin World Master on the other side suddenly shouted: "Dashuai, there is a fire on the mountain, and the signal has appeared!" ”

Li Yuan was stunned, and when he quickly turned his head to look at Chen Fuliang and Yin Shishi, he saw that Chen Fuliang actually closed his eyes tightly, and asked in a trembling voice: "East?" Or is it the west? ”

Li Yuan looked at it again, and hurriedly looked left and right, but saw that on the top of the mountain in the east of the north, a little fire had risen at some point, and it seemed that someone had lit a bonfire there to send a signal. Then Li Yuan saw Li Jing bow his hand to Chen Fuliang and smiled: "Dashuai, don't be nervous and close your eyes, congratulations to Dashuai, congratulations to Dashuai, it's the east, your clever plan has been successful." ”

Chen Fuliang opened his eyes at this time, first looked at the bonfire on the top of the mountain in the east, and then breathed a long sigh of relief, his face was full of relief, and then ordered: "Firearms team, shoot!" Command the whole army to prepare for a counteroffensive. ”

In the midst of the singing, a group of Sui army lecturers suddenly strode forward, rushed to the front of the position that was fighting fiercely with the Turkic army, set fire to dozens of bottle-shaped objects, and then threw themselves into the dense crowd of Turkic soldiers, and at the same time, Chen Fuliang also ordered loudly: "Generals, all get on your horses, it's time for us to counterattack!" Ambassador Li, you also give me a horse, Yin Taishou, and protect Ambassador Li for me. ”

Before the words fell, there was already a thunderstorm in front of him, the fire was continuous, and there were countless Turkic soldiers screaming and neighing horses during the period, Li Yuan hurriedly turned his head to look, but saw that the Turkic army was already in a big mess, people shouted and neighed horses, many Turkic soldiers could not control the frightened war horses, and were carried around by the war horses, and more Turkic soldiers retreated timidly, but countless black spots flew out of the Sui army array again, and the black spots exploded in the Turkic rebel army, and the loud roar continued one after another, Bomb the already chaotic Turkic army even more chaotic.

"What the hell is this weapon?" Li Yuan was extremely envious, and said secretly: "You must get this kind of weapon." ”

At this time, Chen Yingliang, who had already mounted his war horse, gave another order and shouted: "Beat the drums, the front army of Qian Peng will attack, kill and retreat the frontal Turks, rescue Xu Shixu, and open the way for our army to attack the general!" Command the whole army, capture the first thief chieftain alive, reward 20 catties of gold! Promoted to three levels! ”

At the same time, Shibi Khan was also shocked by the primordial grenades that exploded one after another, and only then did he understand why his younger brother Eliver was defeated by such a loud noise, and was captured alive by Sui Junsheng in such a loud sound - the momentum was indeed extremely amazing. Just as Shibi Khan was pondering what such a weapon was, a scout came to the rear and said to Shibi Khan: "Qiyu Khan, the big thing is not good, General Tuli was defeated by the barbarian army and is retreating to the camp, the barbarians are in hot pursuit, and our army camp is in an emergency!" ”

"Turri was defeated by the barbarian army?" Shibi Khan's face changed completely, because Tuli's battlefield was very close to the battlefield of Yu Shot and Mud Bu, and once Tuli was defeated, Yu Zhu and Mud Bu had to be defeated.

"Khan, the barbarians have fought back!" The Turkic general next to him pointed to the south and shouted.

As soon as Shibi Khan turned back, another Turkic general shouted: "Khan, we have another scout." ”

Turning his head before he could see the situation in the south, when Shibi Khan hurriedly turned back, he saw that there was indeed another scout galloping over, and when he hurriedly dismounted in front of him, he was too panicked, and fell off the war horse directly, and then he didn't have time to get up and climbed directly in front of Shibi Khan, panting and said: "Khan, the big thing is not good, Yu Jie and Nibu General were also defeated, and they also fled back to our army camp in a hurry, and the barbarians chased after them, and our army did not have time to enter the camp, and there was a big chaos in front of the camp, and the barbarians were beaten very badly. ”

"How is that possible?" Shibi Khan wailed in disbelief, "How is that possible? My Turkic warriors were still in the ascendancy just now, how could they all be defeated all of a sudden? What the hell is going on in the north? What's wrong? ”

"Khan! General Thornley, they're defeated! The Turkic generals next to him also screamed.

Shibi Khan hurriedly turned his head to look at the situation on the battlefield in the south, but saw that the Turkic army in chaos had indeed been easily defeated by the Sui army, and the Turkic defeated troops under the command of Sang Li fled in all directions, while the Sui army team marched forward with great enthusiasm, smashing directly behind the Turkic army besieging Xu Shixu.

"Khan, look, barbarian's white-robed soldier!"

Another exclamation sounded, and when Shibi Khan hurriedly took a closer look at the Sui army's position, he saw that in front of the Sui army, a team of ironclad cavalry with white robes appeared, and Shibi Khan also suddenly wailed, and said: "Chen Yingliang has clairvoyance, and he has ears to the wind?" How can you seize the opportunity to fight back? "Xu, open the way for our army to attack generally! Command the whole army, capture the first thief chieftain alive, reward 20 catties of gold! Promoted to three levels! ”

At the same time, Shibi Khan was also shocked by the primordial grenades that exploded one after another, and only then did he understand why his younger brother Eliver was defeated by such a loud noise, and was captured alive by Sui Junsheng in such a loud sound - the momentum was indeed extremely amazing. Just as Shibi Khan was pondering what such a weapon was, a scout came to the rear and said to Shibi Khan: "Qiyu Khan, the big thing is not good, General Tuli was defeated by the barbarian army and is retreating to the camp, the barbarians are in hot pursuit, and our army camp is in an emergency!" ”
