Volume 10 The First Sound of the Goryeo Drums Chapter 20 The Battle of the Moonlit Night
That's right! It was this pair of bracelets, Xiao Mill recognized the pair of crystal smooth bracelets in front of him, it was the pair of bracelets he sold to Yang Yuanqing in Chang'an back then, it was the fourth year of Renshou, Xiao Milling still remembered very clearly, at that time he had not joined the South China Club, and he was still in despair.
This pair of bracelets made him feel a kind of nostalgia for the past, remembering that he and Yang Yuanqing had interacted again and again, people are emotional animals, even if they are heroes, they will have weak moments.
Just when Xiao Miao's mind was restless and uncertain, this pair of bracelets was like a clear spring, and the past thoughts attached to it flowed into Xiao Miao's anxious heart, making his heart calm down again.
Wei Yunqi realized the change in Xiao Miao's heart, and he lost no time in saying, "Liang Gong may not know!" Dou Jiande had surrendered, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu gave him 5,000 taels of silver and let him return to the field. ”
This news shocked Xiao Miao, and there was only one thought in his heart, Yang Yuanqing could spare Dou Jiande, why couldn't he spare himself?
With a lot of thoughts in his heart, Xiao Mo sighed, "Let me meditate for a while." ”
After speaking, he got up and walked out of the big tent, which seemed a little rude, but Cen Wenwen understood his feelings, apologized for his guilt, and immediately followed out of the tent, leaving only Wei Yunqi and Bing Yuanzhen in the big tent.
Wei Yunqi stared at the bracelet on the table, Yang Yuanqing told him that if Xiao Mo saw the bracelet, he would definitely have an idea, and now it seems that it is true.
Wei Yunqi's heart was full of curiosity, what secrets were hidden in this pair of bracelets?
"Wei Sima, will Xiao Mo withdraw his troops back to Yuzhang County, regardless of the two sides?" Bing Yuanzhen asked in a low voice with some concern.
Wei Yunqi was not worried. Only Cen Wenwen is there, even if Xiao Mo walks out of the faint chess, Cen Wenwen can correct it for him, Wei Yunqi smiled faintly, "I think he should understand that there are many things that he can't help himself." ”
Outside the big tent, Xiao Mian walked slowly with his hands in his hands. He needed to make a final decision, and Cen Wenwen followed him silently.
"Do you think Yang Yuanqing will place me in the future, the same as Dou Jiande?" Xiao Mo seemed to be talking to himself. It's like asking Cen about the text.
Cen Wenwen pondered and said: "I think it should be to give Liang Gong a false position, such as Liang Guogong and the like, and at the same time keep Liang Gong away from the old Liang land." For example, if you live in Luoyang or Chang'an, Liang Gong should live in obscurity. ”
"What about Baoyue? Will Yang Yuanqing fulfill his promise? ”
"It should be, after all, with his identity, he will not be untrustworthy, and he also needs the daughter of a Xiao Liang nobleman as a concubine, which is conducive to appeasing the southern scholars, I think this is Yang Yuanqing's intention."
Xiao Mo sighed, although Xiao Xiong should not be afraid of death, but at this time he is short of heroic breath, and he has always had two things that he can't let go of. One is his life, he doesn't want to die, he wants to live.
The second is his baby daughter, can Yuexian get a good home? But he also knew that no one dared to marry his daughter. Maybe let her be a concubine and get Yang Yuanqing's protection, which is also her destination.
Until this time, Xiao Mo finally did not hesitate, his heart gradually became firm, and his thinking was clear. Even if he believes in Li Mi, Li Mi will not allow him in the future, rather than believing in people like Li Mi who can't do great things, it is better to follow the general trend.
Now, he Xiao Mo has no way out, but to put his fate on Yang Yuanqing.
Thinking of this, he raised his head and sighed, "Sui lost its deer, the heroes of the world chased it, I Xiao Mill is not able to win the championship, why not give way to the person who won the championship!" ”……
The time has gradually reached the fifth watch, this is the darkest hour before dawn, the Sui army camp is still dark, but there are no soldiers sleeping in the camp tent, 20,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry are already lined up, the sword light is flashing, the spear is like a forest, and the cold armor exudes a murderous aura.
Fifteen hundred Mo sword heavy armor soldiers stood at the front, they held light shields and Mo swords, standing majestically like a god, and the fierce killing power that shuffled out of the eyes of the mask was terrifying.
Behind the Modao Army is the Eight Thousand Sword and Shield Army, which is also to attack the camp, the strong giant shield is enough to withstand the rainstorm of arrows, and the Sword and Shield Army will completely destroy the defensive line of the enemy's crossbowmen and open the way for the cavalry to attack.
Behind the sword and shield army is 20,000 cavalry, they are the protagonists of tonight, the backbone of the defeat of the Wei army tonight, this is the most sharp 20,000 cavalry of the Sui army, as early as the Fengzhou era, they followed Yang Yuanqing to resist the Turkic invasion.
The 20,000 cavalry horses were as strong as dragons, the cavalry was burly and strong, holding sharp spears and swords, and in the spear sheath behind the horses, there were also ten jīng steel short spears, which were used to throw shè collectively, which were indestructible.
Yang Yuanqing was in the middle of the cavalry, he held the dragon shield in his left hand, held the Panying sword in his right hand, wore an eagle-edged golden helmet, wore iron armor, and rode his wind-chasing red shadow horse under his crotch.
He stared at the hill that was dozens of miles long in the distance, the hill was called Chilonggang, he felt that this was the will of heaven, the hero of the world, except for him Yang Yuanqing, who would dare to call it Chilong.
"Your Highness, the hour has come." Wang Junkuo reminded him in a low voice.
Yang Yuanqing nodded slowly, "Pass my order, the army will go!" ”
There were no war drums, no military horns, the army set off silently, and the Modao heavy armor soldiers rode on their war horses with the help of the sword and shield soldiers, which was still five miles away from the Wei army camp, and without the support of war horses, they could not go that far.
Groups of Sui troops marched in the wilderness, the cold moonlight shining on them, and although it was already the beginning of the year, there was still a hint of chill in the night wind.
In the distance, Chilonggang is like a huge sleeping dragon, lying across the vast field, a few miles away, a river several zhang wide meanders southward, after flowing out for more than ten miles, it will flow into the more sparkling Yangtze River.
War has become the order of the day in this army, no one is excited about the coming big war, everything is so ordinary and so cold.
Death is only a part of life for these warriors, but glory is eternal, they have never failed, yesterday, today, and in the future, they will defend their glory with blood and indomitability.
The arrival of the 30,000 Sui army had already been discovered by the scouts and patrols of the Wei army, and the emergency military situation quickly spread to the Wei army camp, Li Mi mobilized 30,000 bow and crossbow troops to wait solemnly, not only in the front, but also from the back, and Du Fuwei's army and Xiao Miao's army gradually approached the Wei army camp.
Li Mi was almost desperate, and Xiao Mo was not convinced in the end, he still chose to cooperate with the Sui army, which made Li Mi's last glimmer of hope also dashed.
In the dark, the three armies already had a tacit understanding, Du Fuwei's army was in the northwest three miles away, and it would attack the Wei army's western camp, and Xiao Mill's army was in the southeast three miles away, and it would attack the Wei army's eastern camp.
And the 30,000 Sui army was going to directly attack the Chinese army camp of the Wei army, and the suppression of the imminent outbreak of the war made the 180,000 Wei army breathless.
But the greatest threat to the Wei army was not the enemy from the three directions, but themselves, with low morale, weak fighting spirit, disgusted with war, fear of death, and missing their relatives.
The Wei army was on the verge of collapse, and it was only the final blow that crushed their morale.
The time finally came to the fifth watch, Yang Yuanqing looked up at a full moon like a wolf, and a little crimson seemed to be added to the cold moon, he slowly pulled out his war knife and raised it high.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
The huge drums of war that shook the heart were finally beaten, and each drum beat seemed to shake the heavens and the earth, and the fifteen hundred Modao heavy armor soldiers slowly launched, and they walked towards the Wei army camp four hundred steps away step by step.
Every step was as dignified as a mountain, the snow-bright Mo knife shimmered in the moonlight, they were like dark killing gods from hell, the darkness flowed on them, and the powerful murderous aura they emitted even dimmed by the moonlight.
The cavalry of the Sui army seemed to feel this unbearable murderous opportunity, and the front hooves of the war horse were raised, and they neighed long, and they took a few steps back, and were tightly held by the cavalry.
The 30,000 crossbowmen of the Wei army were stretched for two miles, and they were arranged in three teams, with tense lips, dry throats, and slightly trembling arms, and even Li Mi felt an unusually low morale.
He suddenly pulled out his war knife and shouted: "We are six times the enemy, why be afraid, kill a Sui army and reward ten taels of gold, take Yang Yuanqing's head, reward 100,000 taels of gold, 500 buckets of pearls, and seal the king of Jiangdu!" ”
Although the heavy reward was difficult to pay, the tempting reward still boosted morale a little, and the soldiers began to draw their bows and arrows, and the crossbow soldiers brushed the ground and raised their crossbows, and the black crossbow arrows were aimed at the dark killing god who was approaching step by step.
'One hundred and fifty steps...... One hundred and twenty steps! ”
Li Mi yelled, "Shè! ”
The 30,000 crossbow army issued shè at the same time, and the stormy arrows were overwhelming the heavy armor Mo sword army a hundred steps away, and 1,500 Mo sword soldiers raised a light shield at the same time, which was a light shield made after drying and soaking oil with rattan, light and strong.
Arrows swooped down like locusts in the sky, obscuring the moon, 'Bang! Syllable! Smack!' Ground shè entered the heavy armor soldiers, and the rattan shield of Guangping was suddenly filled with arrows like a hedgehog.
But the powerful arrow array encountered a nemesis, and not a single Sui soldier fell, and they continued to move forward, step by step, approaching the Wei army camp fence, which was already only fifty steps......
The dense rain of arrows shè shè three rounds, and nearly 100,000 arrows poured out, but except for a dozen Modao soldiers who fell to the ground due to being hit in the eye, no one was shè down.
The Wei army's archers began to be a little confused, and they retreated one after another, and everyone's eyes were filled with fear, and in the rain of arrows that could kill everything, these more than a thousand heavy armored infantry were unexpectedly unexpectedly unfalling, as if they were immortal, and this shock to the psychology was enough to offset the heavy reward offered by Li Mi.
Li Mi also gasped, he finally knew what kind of army this was, the legendary heavy infantry, the number one killer weapon of the Sui army, was that this army withstood the impact of tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry, and Li Mi began to chill.
At this moment, the drums of the Sui army suddenly accelerated, and the drums sounded rapidly, this was the order to launch a charge, and 1,500 Modao infantry shouted in unison, like a hundred streams converging, quickly converging into a giant dragon, and rushed towards the Wei army camp thirty paces away
