Bell bell bell, feather arrow shot to the long shield in front of the Taiyuan Sui army archers, making a crisp nail sound, dense as bead rain, nailing the long shield made of hardwood as if full of feathers, but also the Sui army archers hiding behind the long shield pressed no chance to raise their heads, a Sui army archer was a little bold, half squatting to pull the bow strongly, suddenly stood up and just wanted to release the arrow, a Turkic army's feather arrow had accurately penetrated his throat, he fell on his back with a string of blood rain, and his other companions behind the long shield also wailed, "Such a fierce arrow rain, How can we shoot back? ”

The Sui archers who can squat behind the long shield to avoid the Turkic bows and arrows are lucky, and the worst thing is the light infantry of the Taiyuan Sui army who push the shrimp toad cart forward, they can't even find a safe shooting dead end, and they have to push the heavy shrimp toad cart desperately forward, although there are shrimp toad carts full of earth and stones in front of them to block the frontal arrows, and there are also companion long shields on both sides to block the cross-shot bows and arrows, but the feather arrows thrown by the Turkic archers are completely unable to resist, and they can only carry sharp arrows with flesh and blood, Looking forward to God's blessing, the ancestors accumulate virtue, so that they will not be hit by arrows or less arrows.

It's a pity that the Turkic army originally relied on horseback archery to eat, even if it was a blind shot, the Turkic soldiers' bows and arrows still had a fairly good hit rate, and the feather arrows thrown into the shield array killed and wounded the Taiyuan Sui soldiers one after another, hitting Li Yuan's subordinates one after another, blood flew sideways behind the shrimp and toad cart, and the miserable screams echoed inside the shield array, Li Yuan and his henchmen lackeys were in the distance behind the iron blue face, gritting their teeth.

No one dared to retreat, two soldiers under Li Yuan's command had thrown down the shrimp toad cart and turned around and ran backwards because they were too timid, but before they could run back to the main formation of Li Yuan's team, they had already been stopped by the Lou Fu Supervision Team under the command of the Yin Shi Division, and the swords and axes were cut into pieces, and the name and bamboo plate on the waist were also searched by the Supervision Team, and then waiting for their families would be the end of not having a pension for the eldest son, and there was the possibility of serving hard labor in the prison cell. -- The Yin Shishi, the extremely arrogant airborne officer, had already explained to his military law team that as long as there were deserters on the battlefield, no matter who it was, no matter whose subordinates it was, they would be executed on the spot! Whatever happens, the Yin World Master will carry it!

It is precisely because of this that the frightened Taiyuan soldiers did not dare to retreat, and would rather die under the Turkic arrows than dare to retreat half a step, and Li Yuan could only send his soldiers again to replenish the manpower of the shrimp and toad car team after being killed and wounded by the arrows, and Tie Qing urged the infantry team to fill in the trenches to open the way for the heavy infantry to advance. Li Yuan's henchmen, represented by Xu Shixu and Li Xiaogong, will keep turning back, gritting his teeth and glaring at Chen Yingliang's handsome flag behind him, his chest full of anger, but he is still helpless.

At the same time, Chai Shao kept turning his head and glaring at Chen Yingliang's handsome banner, and couldn't help but say to Li Er next to him: "How did that little thief win so much?" Will he fight at all? Isn't this kind of attack filled with human lives? ”

"This is the right way to use soldiers." Li Er, on the contrary, was a little calm, and explained in a low voice: "By filling in the trenches of the Turkic camp, our heavy infantry can reach the fence defense line of the Turkic camp and directly pose a threat to the Turkic soldiers behind the fence. If you don't fill in the trenches and directly engage in heavy infantry combat, the heavy infantry will not be able to cross the trench and will be a live target, and it will be even worse to directly invest in the light infantry, and no matter how much light infantry is sent to attack the fortification, it will also increase the success of the Turkic bow and arrow array. ”

After listening to Li Er's explanation, Chai Shao, who had just entered the battlefield, was angry for a while, but Li Er added: "But Chen Yingliang didn't have any good intentions, his combat style is known for his flexibility, and he never liked to attack frontal fortifications with huge casualties. Otherwise, with his ability, he may not be able to come up with other ways to break through the Turkic camp at a smaller cost. ”

Hearing this, of course, Chai Shao immediately gritted his teeth and cursed again, and Zhu Cang on the other side came up and whispered in Li Er's ear: "Second son, Chen Yingliang's thief has such vicious intentions, why are you polite?" Your archery skills are so outstanding. If you have the opportunity, why not solve the problem with a cold arrow? ”

Li Er glanced at Zhu Cang, who instigated him to assassinate the boss, smiled and said nothing, but turned to Chai Shao, who was furious, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, you don't have to worry, this is Chen Yingliang's first battle after becoming the coach, he doesn't dare to do too much." And he uses such tactics to attack the camp, if it doesn't rain today, his hope of success is very small, and his position will only be more difficult to sit in at that time, so we just need to watch the show with peace of mind. ”

Chai Shao nodded silently, and silently prayed that it would not rain today, while Zhu Cang on the other side muttered in his heart, "If you don't say anything, you don't refuse, let's do it, when you release the cold arrow, I will take you down, and you can go to Chen Yingliang's boy to enjoy the glory and wealth." , I really didn't expect this kid to climb so fast, and he actually climbed on the heads of Yun Dingxing and Li Yuan in a blink of an eye, it seems that it is more promising to hug his thighs. ”

Fortunately, the Turkic army, which was heavily attacked and not heavily defended, only dug a trench to protect the camp, and after twelve shrimp and toad carts loaded with earth and stones stepped forward, although they paid a lot of price for three rounds, they still filled the trench more than a mile long, and then quickly withdrew to reload the soil, and at the same time, in order to reduce casualties, Li Yuan took the initiative to send an additional 1,000 infantry to the front line, let them serve as archers, and try their best to suppress the archery array of the Turkic army. And it was also at this time that Chen Yingliang discovered that Li Yuan seemed to have deliberately concealed a point from himself, that is, Li Yuan's team had a very high proportion of bow and crossbow equipment, although the bows and crossbows were transported in the baggage truck, and it was impossible to judge the number, but if you just pull out a team, you can pull the bow and release arrows, and it is obvious that these soldiers are usually trained in bows and arrows.

Secretly keeping in mind the operational characteristics of Li Yuan's army, Chen Yingliang no longer paid attention to the battlefield and chose to sit down and look through the information summaries given to him by the various Qinwang troops -- the time was too tight, and Chen Yingliang did not have time to check and approve so many military intelligence reports last night. The battle ahead is still going on, the trench battle between Li Yuanjun and the Turkic army is still in full swing, and the shouts of the Sui army and the strange cries of the Turks fill the battlefield, and the sound spreads for miles.

I don't know how long it took, just as Chen Yingliang was like a god, he was pulled out of the pile of official documents by Li Yuan's report, when Chen Yingliang looked up again, in addition to seeing the trench that had been filled in more than two miles long and many lying corpses, and then there was Li Yuan's already angry face, and said angrily: "The last general is guilty, interrupted the marshal to read the official document, the last general was ordered to fill the trench, the task has been completed, how to fight next, please show the marshal?" ”

"Dispatch all your heavy infantry and attack head-on." Chen Yingliang replied casually, and then picked up the official document again to read it to understand the various situations of the alliance of the King of Zhulu Qin.

"Do you want to take on the task of attacking the fortification head-on?" Li Yuan's nose was almost out of breath.

"Ambassador Li, you are really a noble person who forgets things." Chen Yingliang said without raising his head: "Yesterday, you said, as long as I sue you how to fight, you are willing to be the vanguard, go, don't disturb me to read the official documents." ”

I really wanted to kick the handsome case in front of Chen Yingliang over, but I didn't have the guts, Li Yuan could only scold Chen Yingliang's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart, and strode back to the front army to command the attack, Yun Dingxing and Liu Changgong next to him were so smiling that they even narrowed their eyes, all admired Chen Yingliang's ruthlessness, and he admired his vision and courage, standing in the right position in advance and adjusting his ass in time. And Chen Yingliang, who was reading the official document, suddenly sighed and said in surprise: "Huh? How could he come so quickly? ”

"Dashuai, what did you say? How could anyone come so fast? Old General Yun asked curiously.

"Jiangdu County Cheng Wang Shichong." Chen Yingliang brightened the official document in his hand and said, "The official document handed over to me by Ambassador Li said that Wang Juncheng's team had arrived in Taiyuan three days ago, and I was surprised that he came so quickly, so I said more. ”

"Jiangdu County Cheng Wang Shichong?" Yun Dingxing was also a little dumbfounded, and said in surprise: "He also flew here?" How can it come so quickly? He's farther away than you? ”

"I don't know, but it's okay, we'll find out when we meet." Chen Yingliang shook his head, and then after a little calculation, Chen Yingliang showed some joy, and said: "Good come, calculate the distance, Wang Shichong is likely to be able to arrive in Xinkou today, and his team can be of great use." ”

After Huanxi finished speaking, Chen Yingliang hurriedly arranged a messenger and asked him to fly back to Xinkou to meet Wang Shichong, and instructed him to explain the current situation to Wang Shichong immediately after seeing Wang Shichong, and let Wang Shichong send an army north as much as possible to help him attack the Turks in Laoxian. The envoy rushed away, and Liu Changgong on the other side said kindly: "Brother Yingliang, Wang Shichong's team has traveled so far to Xinkou, the army must be tired, and it is useless to transfer his army." If you don't think you're running out of troops, I still have five thousand troops in my camp, and you can send them to fight. ”

Hearing Liu Changgong's words, the old general Yun Dingxing, who was very good at standing in line, also took the initiative to express his position, saying that Chen Yingliang could send someone to mobilize his remaining troops to the north to participate in the war, but Chen Yingliang shook his head and said: "Brother Liu, General Yun, I understand your kindness, but there is no need, I let Wang Shichong's team participate in the war because his team can come in handy on the battlefield today, so no matter how tired I am, I have to send his army north to help." ”

Liu Changgong and Yun Dingxing were even more puzzled when they heard this, and when they asked the reason again, Chen Yingliang refused to answer. At this time, when the war drums sounded again, the heavy infantry under Li Yuan's command had been put into the battlefield, under the cover of a large number of crossbowmen and long shield soldiers, more than 1,500 Taiyuan heavy infantry lined up in a neat horizontal formation, and attacked the camp of the Turkic army in a dense queue, and at the same time, the Turkic side also made some adjustments, a group of cavalry dismounted and put on armor, and lined up behind the fence of the camp to prepare for battle, and directly countered the heavy infantry of the Sui army with heavy infantry.

The fierce hand-to-hand white-knuckle battle started on the fence defense line of the Turkic camp, the heavy infantry on both sides exchanged guns and knives across the fence, the axes were smashed with hammers, the gold and iron collided, and the fight was extremely fierce, and the sky was still feather arrows coming and going, the Turkic army that relied on bows and arrows to eat and Li Yuan's team that attached importance to bows and arrows all took out their own army's housekeeping skills, desperately pouring arrow rain on each other's heads, feather arrows were as dense and continuous as hail raindrops, and they did not stop at any time, and the soldiers on both sides who fell to the ground with arrows were also one after another, screaming, The shouts of killing and the sound of gold and iron colliding merged into one and soared into the sky.

The hand-to-hand battle has entered a white heat, so nervous that even Liu Changgong and Yun Dingxing, outsiders, have stood up and watched the battle with bated breath, other middle-level generals have exchanged their heads and ears, discussing the military situation and war in a low voice, but Chen Yingliang is still buried in the pile of official documents, and he has no interest in looking up at the battlefield - there is no need to look at it, Chen Yingliang uses the most orthodox offensive tactics, there is no need to adjust, unless the Sui army is defeated or breaks through the Turkic fence and defense line, Chen Yingliang does not need to give orders, Naturally, there is no need to pay attention to the battlefield nervously.

Chen Yingliang is so relaxed and confident, and the Peng Sui Army, who is full of trust in Chen Yingliang, has nothing in the civil and military affairs, but the other generals of the Qinwang Army are even more bottomless, even Liu Changgong's uncle Liu Jingye, who has adjusted the position of his butt in time, couldn't help but come out and ask Chen Yingliang: "Dashuai, do you want to make some adjustments?" In such a frontal attack, our casualties are not only large, but the results are also very slow. ”

"You don't need to adjust, and the more you adjust, the more troublesome it is." Chen Yingliang replied: "The Turks' mobility is far superior to that of our army, and the more our army adjusts, the more opportunities it gives the Turks, and only this kind of layered frontal attack is the best tactic to break through the Turkic battalion." ”

Liu Jingye originally wanted to say something, but Liu Changgong came out to stop him, and said with a smile: "Uncle Cousin, your old man should put a hundred hearts, Brother Yingliang is like a god, and he is the best at winning more with less, he will be sure, and you don't need to worry about it." ”

"Virtuous nephew, it's not that I don't worry about being handsome, it's ......." Liu Jingye stopped talking a little, and then simply pointed to the sky and said: "Virtuous nephew, do you look at this day, it looks like it's going to rain?" The marshal said that it was going to rain today, so we took the risk to fight, if it didn't rain, how sure could we be ...... today? ”

Liu Changgong looked up at the sky according to his words, and saw that the sky was still scorching and the sky was clear, Liu Changgong couldn't help frowning, and then glanced at Chen Yingliang, who was buried in the pile of official documents, Liu Changgong still chose to believe that he was a good brother who shared life and death many times, and said to Liu Jingye: "Uncle Don't worry, Brother Yingliang has always been like a god, and if it rains, it will definitely rain." Liu Jingye was helpless, so he had to sigh and retreat to the train with his nephew.

At this time, the shouting and killing of the front line also became louder, probably because he sensed that Li Yuan's team was not easy to provoke, and the Turkic commander Ashina sent a group of armored soldiers to join the battlefield and continue to resist the heavy infantry of the Sui army that was rushing head-on, and the heavy infantry under Li Yuan's command had all been put into the battlefield, and there was no heavy infantry reserve available, and the light infantry was a live target for the Turkic army. But he never saw any movement from Chen Yingliang, and finally Li Yuan couldn't bear it anymore, temporarily handed over the army to his subordinates, and quickly rushed back to the flag array to settle accounts with Chen Yingliang.

After arriving at the flag array, what made Li Yuan even more angry was that Chen Yingliang was still buried in the pile of official documents, racing against time to read the official documents of the military situation, without even looking at the front line, and not even noticing his arrival. Li Yuan's chest was full of anger, and he simply shouted: "Great marshal, the Turks have sent more armored soldiers, our army is difficult to resist, and there is no heavy infantry available, please send reinforcements to the marshal!" ”

"What's the hurry?" Chen Yingliang said without raising his head: "The Turks are heavy and light on cavalry and light on protection, how many armored soldiers can be used in the battalion?" Continue to resist, and when you have almost exhausted the body of the Turkic armored warriors, I will naturally send reinforcements to you. ”

"And what about the casualties of our army?" Li Yuan said angrily: "Could it be that the marshal wants to let the last general exhaust the Turkic body, and then let your descendant team go into battle to pick up the cheapest?" ”

"Ambassador Li, watch your words." Chen Yingliang finally raised his head and said slowly: "Arrange whose team will go into battle first and whose team will go into battle later, this is the right of the commander, and you have no right to interfere." Besides, your heavy infantry has only been on the battlefield for less than half an hour, and your body is still relatively sufficient, so you don't need to rotate now. ”

Li Yuan's face turned blue again, his fists were clenched so tightly that his joints turned white, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Chen Dashuai, how to arrange the combat team is indeed your power, and the last general has no right to interfere - but the last general wants to ask you, what about the rain you are talking about?" What about the heavy rain you are talking about? It's already past noon, why hasn't the heavy rain come yet? ”

Hearing such a question, Chen Yingliang didn't dare to look up at the scorching sun in the sky, so he could only smile and say, "Ambassador Li, don't be impatient, the rain will come?" ”

"When will the rain come?" Li Yuan couldn't bear it anymore, pointed at Yuan Tiangang who was standing next to Chen Yingliang and shouted: "This charlatan under your command said that it will rain today, or will it rain heavily, so you forced us to send troops to fight a decisive battle with Laoxian today, and now we have fought with the Laoxian Turks, and noon has passed, why hasn't the heavy rain that this god stick liar said has come yet?" As the commander of the Qinwang coalition army, you dispatched an army of 40,000 to risk a decisive battle based on the nonsense of a warlock, are you worthy of the soldiers of our Qinwang coalition army? Are you worthy of the appointment made to you by His Majesty the Emperor and the Imperial Court? ”

Chen Yingliang's face changed color, and Yuan Tiangang, who was standing next to Chen Yingliang, also changed color, and suddenly, Yuan Tiangang's eyes moved, and he found that the Sui army flag in front of him was a little fluttering, so he quickly stopped Chen Yingliang's attack, and said respectfully: "Marshal, Ambassador Li has learned a lesson, and he is a little arbitrary to conclude that it will rain today. Otherwise, how about asking the marshal to order Mingjin and let Li Dashuai's team withdraw and replace it with a heavy infantry to storm the Turkic camp? ? ”

"Do you need it?" Chen Yingliang, who wanted to take revenge on Li Yuan, asked rhetorically.

"I think it should be so." Yuan Tiangang insisted, and said: "Anyway, our heavy infantry has a large number, and taking turns to storm the Turkic camp can not only consume the body of the Turkic armored soldiers, but also reduce the casualties of our soldiers. ”

Finally looked up at the battlefield of the two armies in front of him, and saw that the casualties of Li Yuan's team were indeed not small, and the corpses killed by the Turkic bow and arrow were all over the ground. ”

The golden gong sounded according to the order, although there was still fighting power, the Taiyuan Sui army, which was afraid that the casualties would continue to expand, could not wait to retreat, the Turkic army cheered and shouted in the camp, and Li Yuan was also somewhat relieved in the Sui army's banner array, knowing that even if he could not take the lead in breaking through the Turkic camp, he did not have to worry about the casualties being too heavy - but he did not notice at all that the wind coming from the south was slowly expanding.

Seeing that the Taiyuan Sui army retreated faster than Fei, Chen Yingliang snorted coldly, and then asked the generals: "Generals, which of you led a thousand heavy infantry to attack the Turkic camp?" ”

"Marshal, no need, no need to use heavy infantry anymore."

Without waiting for the generals of the Qin Wangjun to speak, Yuan Tiangang, who was praised by Li Yuan as a charlatan, interrupted again, and said calmly: "Marshal, you can directly throw in the light infantry, the Turkic bows and arrows are useless." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Chen Yingliang was shocked, and Li Yuan, Yun Dingxing, Liu Changgong and others also looked up in surprise and went to see Yuan Tiangang together.

"Generals, pay attention to the sky behind me, a charlatan." Facing the Turkic camp in the north, Yuan Tiangang stood with his back to the south, and counted down loudly with a calm expression: "Ten, nine, eight, seven......." ”

Li Yuan and all the generals of the Qinwang Army raised their heads to look at the southern sky, Chen Yingliang also got up and looked back at the southern sky, and saw that the southern sky was still clear, and there was no cloud in sight, Yuan Tiangang continued to stand with his back to the south, and continued to count loudly: "...... Three, two, one, here it comes! ”

Before Yuan Tiangang's words fell, the eyes of Li Yuan, Chen Yingliang and others were almost out of their sockets, because it was completely at the same time that Yuan Tiangang said, a black line appeared in the southern sky, and then tightened, the black line quickly became thicker, the wind in the sky was stronger, and the ink-like dark clouds were swept by the south wind, covering a small half of the sky in less than a moment, and it quickly filled the small half of the background behind Yuan Tiangang.

Everyone's mouths were already open enough to fit three eggs, but Yuan Tiangang still didn't look back at the situation in the south, but just smiled at Li Yuan and said: "Ambassador Li, I'm really sorry, I disappointed you, although the lowly position is lowly, it doesn't seem to be the charlatan you said." ”

Turning his gaze from the sky to Yuan Tiangang's face with difficulty, he looked at Yuan Tiangang who was smiling calmly and dumbfounded, and the pitch-black background behind him that rose rapidly like a demon spreading its wings, Li Yuan suddenly wanted to give himself a slap in the face, pumping his own eyes and beads, and even more pumping his own mouth, a few unpleasant words, and gave the first merit of the decisive battle to break through the Turkic camp to others! -- The Taiyuan Sui army still has the strength to fight again, and after a rainstorm, the Turkic bows and arrows failed, and it was easy to break through the Turkic camp!

While Li Yuan wanted to slap his mouth, Chen Yingliang also smiled, then turned around and asked the generals of the Sui army who had fallen into a state of stupidity: "Generals, who is willing to take over from Ambassador Li and lead the army to attack the Turkic camp?" ”

It took a long time to have an answer, and the old general Yun Dingxingyun, who had a quick brain, was the first to come back to his senses, and without hesitation, he knelt down on one knee to Chen Yingliang, clasped his fists and shouted: "The last general is willing to go!" ”

Hearing General Yun's volunteer, except for the pale-faced Ambassador Li, all the Sui generals present knelt down on one knee to Chen Yingliang, clenched their fists and asked for orders, and shouted in unison: "The last general is willing to go!" ”

"The last general wishes to-!"

A new shout suddenly came, and when Chen Yingliang looked up with some doubts, he saw that the two people with blonde hair and blue eyes who were rushing over were his de facto wife, uncle Wang Shiyun, and his wife's cousin Wang Renze. Seeing his two daughters-in-law's relatives, Chen Yingliang smiled even more happily, and said secretly: "Okay, the Huainan Army, which is good at fighting rain battles, is also here, and the certainty of a big victory is greater." ”
