The sound of a trumpet came from afar, low and heavy, making people tremble.

The Turkic cavalrymen climbed onto their fat-losing mounts, cursing and taunting each other in Turkic language, many of them visibly drunk. Yang Xuangan led these Turkic soldiers to set off, the morning glow in the east was red, and the grass was still full of undried crystal dewdrops.

In the dawn of dawn, the two famous generals of the Great Sui faced off for the first time.

Yang Su did not retreat in Lingzhou City, nor did he retreat to Fengzhou, as before, Yang Su never retreated, and his fighting spirit was high, and he did not take Shi Wansui almost twice as much as his own army of 50,000. In the morning light, Yang Su was arrayed under the city, and his army was like a slowly blooming thistle flower, and the shining spikes were so dazzling.

Yang Su's Chinese army was commanded by the general Zhou Luohou, the former general of Nanchen who led the heavy cavalry to take the lead in the battle with Datou, and made countless military exploits since his surrender to Zhou. At this time he erected his banner on the main road, and this time the archers of his generals lined up in two phalanxes and placed them in front of them to separate the east and west of the road. When the big war came, these archers were still very calm, after the baptism of war, they had been calm and sophisticated, not panicked, calmly adjusted their bowstrings, and the white feather arrows in the quiver at their waists swayed with their movements. More spearmen lined up in a huge phalanx, occupying the middle path vacated by the archers, and behind them were rows of swords, shieldmen, and crossbowmen. Behind them, the 300 hoplites who had survived the last battle were unarmoured, and they were surrounded by the general's banner, followed by their horses, which were also recuperating. The chariots on the side were stacked with their armor.

On the right flank of the middle army, there were cavalry of about five thousand people. This is also an elite army. Most of the cavalry of Yang Su's army were gathered here, like a sharp sword. This elite. Led by the cavalry general, the head of the march, Yu Juluo has two very significant characteristics, one is that his voice is particularly loud, as soon as he speaks, it is like thunder, and his voice can be heard from miles away. The other one is that the fish has double eyes, which is quite rare. Although he has a strange voice and a loud voice, Yukura is quite brave when he fights, and he has been guarding the frontier for many years, and no Hu people dare to come to his territory at all.

Yang Su, who is the commander of the whole army. He sat on a hill about two miles behind, surrounded by a reserve under his command, half on foot, numbering as many as ten thousand. Yang Su fought very fiercely, but he didn't like to rush to the front line, but liked to command the reserve troops, and he was a little behind the battlefield where he could have a full view of the battle situation and control the battle situation at any time. At the right time, we can always put the precious reserve troops into the battlefield and put them in the most suitable and most needed places. With a small number of soldiers and horses, the whole battle situation was sled.

Yang Su has always been extravagant, even if he commanded the army to fight at this time. He still doesn't change his style.

Even if you look at it from a distance, you can find Yang Su at a glance. The armor on his body was too dazzling, a real set of golden battle armor. The yellow golden silk cloak, the high golden spikes on the helmet, the crimson helmet, and his five-foot-tall Persian horse, there was no more conspicuous outfit than his. This set of armor alone is worth more than 10,000 yuan.

Not counting the sword that Yang Su carried, the precious horse lance he held and the famous horse he stepped on.

At this time, Yang Su made people beat the rumbling war drums.

Shi Wansui's army was slowly approaching, and the dazzling Yang Su galloped to the front of the battle.

Yang Su glanced at the former army soldiers, and then said to Yang Xuan, the eldest son who commanded the five thousand Turkic troops on the left flank, "Watch carefully, learn more." After speaking, Yang Sugao shouted, "Bring the violators of military law forward." ”

With a shout, Yang Su's personal guards suddenly brought hundreds of wolf-like soldiers. These people are all violators of military discipline.

"Read out their crimes." Yang Su's face was solemn.

The military judge stepped forward and began to read out the crimes of all the convicted on the spot, one by one. There are those who violate military orders and leave the camp without permission, those who fight and gamble in the camp, those who plunder the people and merchants, and those who commit adultery with women, and so on, all of which violate the discipline of the army.

Yang Su stepped forward, "Do you not admit the criminal accusation just read?" ”

No one spoke up, most of them were caught red-handed by the law enforcement officers, and they couldn't deny it at all.

"Very good, it seems that you all admit it, it's very good, at least you know how to dare to do it. In this case, then Ben Shuai will give you another chance today, a chance to atone for your sins. Now, take up your sword and go into battle, and if you can cut off one of your heads, you will be spared of his crimes, and if you can take off two heads, you will not only be forgiven, but you will also be rewarded with ten thousand dollars. If you have the ability to bring back three heads, then you will not only be exempted from the crime but also rewarded with 20,000 yuan! The more you kill, the more you will be rewarded. ”

Swords and shields had been thrown in front of them.

The soldiers, who had already been condemned to death and deserved to be beheaded for military law, were silent one by one, and then bowed their heads and picked up their knives and shields.

"Beat the drums, cheer them on!" Yang Su drank heavily.

The sound of war drums sounded, and more than ten cowhide drums swayed at the same time, and the sound was like thunder.

"Ahh ――――”

The more than 100 soldiers who violated military law raised their heads to the sky one by one and roared, and then began to run towards them with swords and shields, rushing towards the forward of Shi Wansui's army, who had just arrived at the battlefield and had not yet begun to line up the military formation, without hesitation, swearing to die.

Yang Xuangan looked at that scene, and couldn't help shaking his head in his heart, more than 100 people rushed to the army of 50,000, this will definitely die.

"Father, in the current war, why don't you give them a real chance?"

"This is the opportunity."

"But this is death."

"If they die, I will go back and ask the record office to register that they died on the battlefield for the country, and the court will give them family bereavement rewards. If they could really kill the enemy and return, then their crimes would be forgiven. Yang Su replied flatly.

More than a hundred people launched a decisive charge, rushing fast, retreating quickly, and after a while, most of them were already dead. Before they could even rush in front of the enemy formation, they were intercepted and killed by the rangers of Swansui. Of course, there are a few brave and lucky. In the end, he killed the ranger, snatched the horse and fled back.

Several bloodied sinners were lying on their horses, flapping desperately and straddle their horses. Desperately fleeing back to the front of the battle. Behind him were the rangers of the Shi Wansui Army, roaring in pursuit. Archery from time to time.

Seeing that it was about to arrive, one of the unlucky rangers was shot in the back of the heart by an arrow, fell off his horse, and was chopped off the head by the ranger who arrived.

"Hurry, hurry, rush, hurry!"

"Hurry up!"

In the formation of Yang Sujun, the soldiers in the front row were desperately cheering for their comrades, and ran over a little more. You can get into the range of their bows and arrows, and you can cover them.

Another sin fell, and he climbed forward with difficulty with the head of an enemy in his hand, and finally struggled to get up, and just after running two steps, the head fell to the ground. The man turned around and went back to pick it up, and Yang Xuangan immediately looked at the ranger approaching behind him, and couldn't help but say anxiously, "Don't pick it up." Come back, come back. ”

The man ignored the shouts and stubbornly picked up the head.

He finally picked up the head, but an enemy ranger had already arrived. The spear slammed forward, and the sharp spear penetrated the man's vest and pinned him to the ground. Before dying. The man still had the head in his hand.

"Idiot!" Yang Xuan felt so uncomfortable in his heart that he even wanted to cry.

"There's nothing wrong with his choice."

"That's right?" Yang Xuan felt against his father.

"If he can't come back with the enemy's head. Then he will come back and be put to death in the end. Yang Su replied coldly.

"But everyone saw that he had killed an enemy horseman."

But he still didn't bring the first level back. If you don't complete the task, you can't atone for your sins. ”

"What kind of bullshit is this?"

"Xuangan, you have to remember that military orders are like mountains, and there is no joke in the army. Don't you want to think about why I should deal with those lawbreakers in this way in front of the battle? Think about it. After Yang Su finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to his son.

Of the more than 100 violators of military law, only seven returned after the battle, three of them carrying an enemy head, two of them carrying two heads, and two of them returning empty-handed. One was that he didn't kill the enemy at all, and the other was that he lost the loot when he was being pursued halfway.

Yang Su stepped forward, stretched out his hand and patted the shoulder of the three sergeants who brought back a head, and said, "You have redeemed your share of guilt with your bravery, and now, you are not guilty, go back to your ranks." ”

The three of them excitedly stepped forward to kneel down and thanked them, and went back happily, and the soldiers on the side cheered together.

Then Yang Su walked up to the two soldiers who brought back the two heads, "Very good, you have proved yourself, not only are you exempted now, but the commander is now rewarding each of you with ten yuan of money, in addition, you are promoted as a team vice-president, go down." ”

"Xie Dashuai!" The two replied excitedly.

Yang Su finally walked up to the two people who returned empty-handed, shook his head, sneered at the two pale losers, and then pulled out his precious sword inlaid with gold and jade, and swung it violently twice, and the two heads had already landed. He put them to death with his own hands, but they didn't bring back their heads, so they were condemned.

"Prepare for battle!" Yang Su shouted loudly, then put his sword into the sheath, turned over his horse, and returned to his own flag in the rear.

The whining trumpets sounded again, and the drums moved.

Shi Wansui's army was getting closer and closer, and both armies could clearly see each other's fronts, and the battle was about to break out.

Yang Su's herald carried a red flag on his back, galloped in front of the battle, and shouted loudly: "The commander has an order, whoever kills the enemy will be given 10,000 yuan, the team will be given 20,000 yuan, the captain will be given 100,000 yuan, and those who kill Shi Long Live will be given 1 million!" Bestow three turns! ”

Yang Xuangan returned to his formation and glanced at his troops, five thousand cavalry. No, it should be 5,000 drunkards and gamblers on horseback, and 5,000 grassland herdsmen from nomadic tribes who surrendered and were trapped in the Han land. With such a group of people, can I hold the left wing?

The drums were getting louder and louder, and the sharpshooters on both sides were already shooting arrows and conducting test shots. Then there was sporadic shooting, then a flurry of arrows flying in the sky, and the two sides began to fire at each other with bows and arrows at long range, and the first wave of attacks was launched.

The battle began, this was a fierce and tragic battle, after a few rounds of bow and arrow shooting, Yu Juluo really took the lead as always with his right flank five thousand elite cavalry launched a fierce attack, five thousand elite cavalry galloped like the wind, they circled an arc on the battlefield, sideways cut to the left side of the Shi Wansui army in front of the infantry formation, beautiful turns, beautiful horse cavalry shooting, countless arrows invaded into the enemy infantry formation. After the beautiful attack of the 5,000 cavalry, Shi Wansui's left flank infantry formation was already a little chaotic, and at this time, they were suddenly surprised to find that behind the light cavalry army, there was actually a cavalry following over.

However, they were not ordinary cavalry, but armored hoplites. They first hid behind the infantry, then waited for the light cavalry on the right flank to attack, then began to equip their armor, and then began to run, following the empty path left by the cavalry attack, and went straight on a rampage.

There were already some cracks in the infantry formation, and when the three hundred heavy cavalry rushed over, the Shi Wansui infantry, who had seen with their own eyes on the battlefield not long ago, panicked. Before, the hoplites were friendly troops, and it was cool to see them rampage, but at this time they became the target of the hoplites, and everyone was terrified and panicked. The small crack began to widen, but when the heavy cavalry crashed into it, the crack began to expand, and then it became an irreparable gap.

Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy infantry's shield wall spear formation had not had time to close, Yukura's light cavalry regrouped and killed again. This time, instead of galloping past and shooting a few rounds of arrows, they rushed straight through the opening.

Under the impact of the cavalry, the infantry formation on the left flank of Shi Wansui's army continued to disintegrate, and even Shi Wansui behind him didn't have time to react, Yang Su had already issued a military order, and rushed directly to the left flank that had begun to disintegrate with the reserves. Shi Wansui's left flank collapsed, the defeated troops continued to retreat, and Yang Su led his troops to chase closely

The trumpet sounded again, this time passionately and powerfully.

Yang Xuangan finally received the order and led his left flank Turkic cavalry out of the nest and launched a fierce attack on the collapsed Shi Wansui army.

Yang Su's handsome flag was flying on the battlefield, Shi Wansui finally did not personally lead the rear team to intercept and kill, he saw that the situation was not good, and took the initiative to order a retreat. He retreated in time, leaving behind about 10,000 soldiers and horses on the left flank and the center, and the strong man broke his wrist and withdrew from the battlefield.

"A beautiful victory!" When Yang Xuangan saw his father, he jumped off the horse and said to him with a smile. "My father's timing is really amazing."

Yang Su's dazzling golden armor was stained with many blood stains, which had solidified into black and purple, making the golden armor inevitably lose a little light. Yang Su straddled the horse, looked at the Shi Wansui Department who had already left, and shook his head.

"Father, isn't this battle very good, we fought more with less, but instead ate more than 10,000 people from Shi Wansui, count him lucky and run away, otherwise the child will capture him alive."

Yang Su took the water handed over by the guard, and poured a few big mouthfuls, with no expression on his face.

"I originally asked you to deploy on the left flank with the troops, thinking that after I led the troops, Shi Wansui would hedge with me and attack your left flank with all my might. In this way, when the time comes, I will abandon Shi Wansui's already defeated left flank and go back to outflank Shi Wansui, who broke through, but as a result, Shi Wansui was not fooled at all and ran away directly. This time, he failed to capture him in one fell swoop, and it would be difficult to have such a chance again, and if he retreated to Ganliang, let alone annihilate him immediately.
