Right and wrong, good and evil are often in a thought, loyal to the Taiyuan army but unwarranted suspicion, kindly open the city gate to meet the friendly army, but even the boss's own brother Li Er refused to enter the city, and asked himself to hand over the enemy's envoy to prove his innocence. Liu Jizhen, the Yuci guard general who felt that he had been greatly insulted, made a typical impulsive decision, but also very smart and correct, and decided to rebel in the line of fire and defect to Chen Fuliang.

Liu Jizhen's impulse decided to pit the Dingyang army, and even more to Liu Wuzhou himself, hurriedly sent people into the city to reconnoiter and found no abnormality, and the Sui army pursuers behind had already shouted to kill, Liu Wuzhou hurriedly slapped his horse into the city, and was chased by the Sui soldiers and cut down the Dingyang army for more than 30 miles. Li Er was also hesitant, not knowing whether he should risk entering the city, and was even more worried about whether he would have a chance to live Yuci after entering the city.

Thanks to Li Er's hesitation, at this time, there was a loud bang, and the jack gate on the inner city wall of the west gate of Yuci suddenly fell to the ground, smashing several soldiers of the Dingyang Army who could not dodge directly into meat sauce, and also cut the Dingyang Army into two at once, Liu Wuzhou led a few personal soldiers to be trapped in the city, and the main force of the Dingyang Army was blocked outside the Yuci City. All kinds of screams followed, including the Taiyuan soldiers on the city wall, who also screamed, "What's wrong?" Why did the jack gate fall? ”

also heard the exclamation of the soldiers of the self-army, Liu Jizhen realized that his decision just now was too impulsive and reckless, and he didn't think about the consequences that might result from doing so, but when things came to this point, Liu Jizhen had no way back, and immediately pulled out his knife and shouted at the soldiers under his command: "Brothers, His Royal Highness the King of Tang's army has reached the city of Taiyuan, and the Li family brothers are about to be destroyed. Instead of dying in vain, it is better to arrest Liu Wuzhou Pifu with me and present it to His Royal Highness King Tang as a meeting gift! Would you like to come with me?! ”

What surprised Liu Jizhen was that although he was unprepared in advance, after hearing his words, nearly half of the Taiyuan soldiers present still raised their weapons and shouted loudly, expressing their willingness to go with Liu Jizhen, although the other half did not make a clear statement, but all of them looked at each other with you and me, and no one stood up to stop or object.

Seeing this scene, Liu Ji was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly sent his henchmen and soldiers to the north gate of Yuci to contact his younger brother Liu Liu'er stationed there, so that he could also cooperate with him, and then pointed his knife at the city and shouted: "Brothers, follow me!" Capture Liu Wuzhou alive and dedicate it to His Royal Highness the King of Tang! ”

It's chaotic, it's completely chaotic, it's like this in and outside the city of Yuci, Liu Wuzhou, who was suddenly trapped in the city, jumped over the wall in a hurry, and fled with only a few dozen pro-soldiers, looking for a way out of the city; Liu Jizhen, who had no way back, led more than 200 soldiers to chase after him, saying that he wanted to capture Liu Wuzhou alive; Then Liu Jizhen's younger brother Liu Liuer also brought people to help arrest people, who would have thought that the betrayal of the Liu family brothers annoyed Li Zhongwen, the general of the Taiyuan Army stationed at the east gate of Yuci, Li Zhongwen, who was loyal to Li Jiancheng, also led a team of cronies to join the battlefield, and the Liu brothers fought in Yuci City.

Of course, the situation outside the city is even more chaotic, in order to rescue Liu Wuzhou trapped in the city, Song Jingang and Huang Ziying and other generals divided their troops to resist the Sui army's pursuers, while slashing axes and splitting jack gates made of iron and wood, and some Dingyang soldiers were unguarded on the city at all, and they climbed the city wall empty-handed. However, just as these soldiers who ascended the city cheered and summoned their companions to go to the city as soon as possible, the main force of the Sui army had already reached the west gate of Yuci, completely sounding the death knell of the main force of the Dingyang army.

At this time, the sky was already light, and he saw the Dingyang army congested in the area of the west gate of Yuci, and there were many Dingyang soldiers and soldiers who were climbing up to the city, although Chen Fuliang did not have time to understand what was going on, he immediately seized this rare opportunity, and immediately ordered a general attack, and it was very rare to personally carry a knife into battle, encouraging his soldiers to fight bravely.

In the twilight, more than 30,000 Sui army cavalry like a wave rushing, surging towards the Dingyang army crowded outside the west gate of Yuci, but the Dingyang army was in a panic, the generals at all levels shouted the order to line up the array to shout hoarse, but still could not quickly line up a solid phalanx to resist the Sui army charge, was killed in front of the Sui army soldiers with a charge, the cavalry first hit the fight on the open left flank, and then the Chinese infantry on the top, knife to gun, shield violently hit the shield, the soldiers of both armies were constantly cut down and stabbed and knocked backwards, However, the officers and men of the Sui army obviously had the upper hand, and the casualties of the soldiers of Dingyang in the collision were obviously much more.

The brutal and bloody hand-to-hand battle began, the officers and soldiers of the two armies fought hard in order to survive and win, all of them took out the strength to eat milk and fought hard, swords, guns and shields constantly collided sonorously on the battlefield, and the sound of shouting and killing, screaming and neighing of war horses was mixed together, the two armies were as chaotic as a pot of boiling rice porridge, constantly spurting blood and the remains of human limbs, and the ground was quickly covered with the corpses of the soldiers of the two armies, but it was still the absolute majority of the Dingyang army.

There is no suspense, the Dingyang army can have a few moves with the Sui army in cavalry warfare, and the infantry combat is not the opponent of the main infantry of the Sui army at all, no matter how hard Song Jingang and Huang Ziying and other generals try to restrain the soldiers, the infantry of the Dingyang army was still killed by the Sui army and retreated, and was quickly forced to retreat from the moat. At the same time, more than a dozen or twenty gunpowder bottles flew out of the Sui army's formation as usual, smashing into the already dense crowd of Dingyang soldiers, who were already so dense that it was difficult to enter, and in the rumbling explosion, Dingyang soldiers staggered and were squeezed down the moat countless times, and the Sui army infantry took the opportunity to retreat in stride, compressing the formation of the Dingyang army's infantry more densely.

At the critical moment, there were new changes in the rear of the Dingyang army, after countless times of hard work, the jack gate in the west gate of Yuci was finally smashed by the Dingyang army, the soldiers of the Dingyang army cheered into the city, and the other Dingyang soldiers who were fighting fiercely in front saw that there was a way to retreat, Song Jingang and Huang Ziying and others hurriedly did not have time to arrange the supervision team to prevent the soldiers from escaping, and the Dingyang soldiers took the opportunity to escape across the moat and fled into the city, and the result was naturally immediately disastrous, and the soldiers of the Dingyang army fought for the suspension bridge in order to enter the city, Pushing and trampling on each other, there were countless people who fell into the water and were trampled to death, and the Sui army rushed and beat violently, constantly expelling the Dingyang soldiers into the water, and also tried to storm the west gate of Yuci to control the city gate.

In the chaos, the corpses of the soldiers of the Dingyang Army quickly filled the moats on both sides of the drawbridge, and the soldiers of both armies could step on the corpses to reach the city of Yuci. Seeing this scene, Chen Fuliang also immediately made some tactical adjustments, so that Kan Liang and Qiu Xinggong, the two tired divisions who had worked hard last night, withdrew to the rear to rest the whole team, Chen Fuliang also withdrew to the rear with a report to command the overall situation, and the Ximen battle was entrusted by Chen Fuliang to Wei Chi Jingde and Liu Shishan and other generals, and then it was also at this time that Chen Fuliang found an opportunity to watch the fierce flank battle between the cavalry of the self-army and the cavalry of the Dingyang army, and understand the strength of the enemy's cavalry and the shortcomings of the cavalry of the self-army.

After some observation, Chen Fuliang found that the combat style of the cavalry of the Dingyang Army was very similar to that of nomads, that is, they desperately opened up the space to kill the enemy with bows and arrows as much as possible, and they were forced to have no choice but not to fight hand-to-hand combat, while the Sui cavalry led by Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin was divided into encirclements, looking for close-quarters combat opportunities as much as possible, supplemented by bow and arrow shooting during the period, although they did not fall behind, they did not have too many advantages. Seeing this, Chen Fuliang first nodded, and then said in his heart: "Fortunately, Liu Wuzhou took the initiative to bring his main force south to Taiyuan, otherwise, I want to exterminate him in the grassland outside the Saiwai, and the money and food spent alone will make me vomit blood." ”

Fortunately, Chen Fuliang hurriedly sent someone to interrogate the prisoners of war and inquire about Liu Wuzhou's specific whereabouts, but Chen Fuliang's luck was not bad, and there happened to be a seriously injured and captured prisoner of the Dingyang Army who saw Liu Wuzhou trapped in Yuci City and made a truthful explanation. When Chen Fuliang heard the great news, he immediately ordered his flag array to be transferred to the north gate of Yuci, and ordered Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin to stop playing hide and seek with the cavalry of the Dingyang Army led by Xun Xiang, withdraw to his side to rest and feed the horses, and was always ready to intercept Liu Wuzhou's troops fleeing north. In addition, Chen Fuliang naturally had to give orders to Wei Chi Jingde and Liu Shishan and other generals, asking them to enter Yuci City and force Dingyang's army to abandon the city and flee.

In the fierce battle in front of the door, Wei Chi Jingde seized the opportunity to grab the door, and rose up to cut down a number of Dingyang soldiers one after another, and successfully seized the entrance of the city gate.

At the same time, Liu Wuzhou, who had been hiding in the city, finally met with Song Jingang and others who fought hard to enter the city to respond, and met in one place, Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang and others also wanted to close the city and defend themselves for a period of time, rest the army and collect the scattered defeated soldiers and then make plans, but from a distance, a large number of Sui army banners had appeared in Xicheng, and Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang also died immediately, so they could only quickly gather the army and transfer to the north gate of Yuci, and then open the north gate to retreat to the old nest of Mayi.

It's a pity that the retreat route of Liu Wuzhou and others was already expected by Chen Fuliang, and it had already been transferred by the reserve to the north gate of Yuci to wait for it. Liu Wuzhou and others were also startled when they opened the door and saw the Sui army arraying on the road, but they saw that the cavalry of the self-army was assembling in the northeast, so Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang and others relaxed a little, and then immediately began to go out of the city and cross the river.

At this time, Chen Fuliang instructed Cheng Yanjin and Qin Qiong next to him: "Zhijie, Shubao, take your cavalry Hou Ming, see my order flag waving, immediately attack, and raid Liu Wuzhou Pifu's thief army out of the city." ”

Cheng Yanjin and Qin Qiong agreed, and immediately rushed back to the army to prepare for the attack, over there Guo Feng and Chen Ci and other **** generals were not happy to hear it, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, why don't you give us this task?" Not to mention that our men and horses have abundant physical strength and are more suitable for assault, even if it is our turn, it should be our turn, right? We've been with you last night, but we've never had a chance to make a move. ”

"What's the hurry?" Chen Fuliang bowed to the Dingyang Army Cavalry Brigade in the distance to the east, and said with a smile: "Your opponent is them, Zhijie Shubao raided the commander of the thief army, and the cavalry of the thief army will inevitably go south to respond, and when they are entangled with our cavalry, don't you have a chance?" ”

Guo Feng and Chen Ci and others were overjoyed when they heard it, so they obediently shut up, and Chen Fuliang nervously observed the situation at the north gate of Yuci, when he saw Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang's banner crossing the moat of the north gate together, Chen Fuliang did not hesitate, and immediately waved the flag with his own hands, and the Sui cavalry led by Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin also immediately shouted and killed, and the tide rushed to the north gate of Yuci. The result was not as expected by Chen Fuliang, the Dingyang generals Xun Xiang and Gao Manzheng and others in the east also immediately led the cavalry to attack, diagonally to kill the flank of the Sui cavalry, forcing the Sui cavalry to adjust the direction to meet the battle, and then in order to cover the retreat of Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang and others, Xun Xiang and Gao Manzheng did not hesitate to start a hand-to-hand melee with the Sui cavalry, and gave up the kite tactics that Chen Fuliang hated the most.

Chen Fuliang was waiting for this fighter, first ordered the newspaper to prepare for a surprise attack, and then instructed Kan Liang and Qiu Xinggong: "I will personally take the newspaper ** to raid, and you are responsible for intercepting the thief infantry!" Remember, as long as you have the opportunity, you will give me to take Liu Wuzhou at any cost, dead or alive! ”

Kan Liang and Qiu Xinggong hugged their fists together and sang the promise at the same time, Guo Feng, Chen Ci and Yu Le's three generals led the six school newspaper **** finally showed the logo of the white robe, under the personal leadership of Chen Fuliang, who was also wearing a white robe, they charged together, and raided the Dingyang army cavalry that had been entangled with the Sui army cavalry, and the Dingyang army cavalry, who had never fought with the newspaper, did not care much about it, but when the newspaper ** directly entered the Dingyang cavalry formation, Xun Xiang and Gao Manzheng and other Dingyang army generals inevitably had an urge to cry, "**** Damn! Even the weapons and equipment of the soldiers are better than those of us generals, how can we fight this battle?! ”

Sophisticated weapons and equipment is indeed one of the important reasons for the invincibility of the newspaper, but it is definitely not the most critical, the most terrible place to report the **** is cohesion and silence and efficiency, there is no need to shout and be brave like other armies on the battlefield, some are just condensed into a group, unified action, silent and calm looking for opportunities, never fancy but absolutely practical powerful attacks, every knife and every shot is only to go back, never consider their own protection, like a cold killing machine, daunting.

This time is the same, Chen Fuliang is surrounded in the middle and follows Chen Fuliang's handsome banner around, the **** is like an extremely sharp knife, in the Dingyang Army cavalry array, almost no sound, some are just stormy knives and guns, sticks and axes, as long as the cavalry of the Dingyang Army dares to get close to the roadblockers, all of them are stabbed to death by random knives and guns, and many Dingyang soldiers did not even see the moves of the **** soldiers to death. Xun Xiang and Gao Manzheng and other generals roared again and again, and commanded the cavalry to block and chase after several times in succession, but they still couldn't stop the ****'s charge, on the contrary, they were killed and injured by the **** soldiers, and the corpses were all over the ground.

The cavalry of the newspaper ** is a new force, but the cavalry of the Dingyang army is tired and tired of fighting one after another, plus there are also the Sui cavalry led by Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin to help on the side, and the cavalry of the Dingyang army soon showed defeat. Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang and others in the back saw that the situation was not good, and they didn't dare to delay any longer and immediately fled north, but Kan Liang and Qiu Xinggong were already prepared, and immediately led the army to block the way of Liu Wuzhou and others, and then Wei Chi Jingde also led a Sui army infantry to chase out of the north gate of Yuci, Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang and others were blocked and chased with no way out, so they could only rush into the battle formation of Kan Liang and Qiu Xinggong, trying to open the road and escape.

The fierce battle resumed, including the cavalry, there were only more than 12,000 people left in the Dingyang army, and the Sui army infantry cavalry fought more than twice as much. However, it is a pity that the Dingyang army is not as well prepared as the Sui army at all, and has brought enough horse feed and dry food early, and can feed the horses when there is a gap, and the physical strength is guaranteed to a certain extent, but the Dingyang army, which was in a hurry to decide to go east to Yuci at the beginning of last night, was unprepared, and fought and traveled more than 50 miles overnight, and the generals and soldiers were already hungry and rumbling, and the physical strength was very serious, so the fierce battle reached close to noon, and the Dingyang army finally collapsed completely because it could not be supported, Including Liu Wuzhou himself, they were forced to change into soldiers' clothes and scattered to flee for their lives.

The pursuit battle started again, in the case of sufficient light and good sight during the day, the Sui cavalry focused only on pursuing those enemies who rode war horses, capturing Liu Wuzhou alive and surrendering without killing the slogan shook the world, every time a prisoner was caught, Liu Wuzhou's whereabouts were questioned, and Chen Fuliang, who had always pursued cautiously, also openly threatened that even if he chased to the city of Fenyang, he must catch up and take Liu Wuzhou's head!

There is no need to pursue to the city of Fenyang, in fact, only to pursue ten miles, a Liu Wuzhou guard who fell off the horse and surrendered betrayed Liu Wuzhou's position, Chen Fuliang personally reported ** outflanked, successfully intercepted Liu Wuzhou's hiding Dingyang army cavalry, and then quickly surrounded the Dingyang army cavalry with only more than 100 horsemen, shouting and demanding to hand over Liu Wuzhou, Chen Fuliang also personally came forward, asked Liu Wuzhou to come out and surrender, and promised to ensure that Liu Wuzhou's life would not be harmed.

The Dingyang cavalry was obviously a little hesitant, and it seemed that they had the intention of desperately breaking through, but as Qin Qiong also led the cavalry brigade to the vicinity, the Dingyang cavalry still had the mind to resist, and Liu Wuzhou, who had met Chen Fuliang across the river, also obediently came out of the crowd and ordered all his subordinates to dismount and lay down their weapons, and Liu Wuzhou himself begged to surrender to Chen Fuliang.

Finally caught Liu Wuzhou, most of the day's hard work was not in vain, it was rare that Chen Fuliang, who was embarrassed with a dusty face, breathed a sigh of relief, first waved his hand to let the soldiers step forward to take down Liu Wuzhou, and then went to see the situation on the pursuing battlefield by the way, but it was okay not to look at it, at a glance, the four Dingyang army cavalry who were looking at this side on a low hill not far from the west attracted Chen Fuliang's attention intentionally or unintentionally, and then one of the four Dingyang army cavalry secretly came to see where Chen Fuliang's handsome banner was, After more than a hundred steps and four eyes intersected, Chen Fuliang, whose eyes were both 1.5 after crossing, immediately recognized the identity of that person. And the person's eyesight was obviously excellent, as if he saw that Chen Fuliang's expression was wrong, and immediately pulled out his horse and galloped in the opposite direction of Chen Fuliang.

"Guo Feng, Chen Ci, Yu Le! Bring the **** report, follow me! Chen Fuliang yelled, "Shubao, Liu Wuzhou will hand it over to you and escort it back to Yuci City!" ”
