On the afternoon of the seventh day of the fifth lunar month, Li Jing and Yuan Tiangang, as the main force of the 70,000 Sui army under the temporary command, arrived at Linfen City very smoothly as scheduled, and joined forces with Chen Fuliang, the irresponsible commander of the whole army, and finally sounded the death knell of the Dou-Li coalition army, which had been fighting separately on the battlefield in Linfen County.

After meeting, Li Jing and Yuan Tiangang immediately led the Sui army to congratulate Chen Fuliang, congratulating Chen Fuliang on his new general Wang Fubao and successfully taking Lingshi City. There are also many new lackeys because they don't know much about Chen Fuliang's character, and constantly praise Chen Fuliang for his good use of soldiers, his strategy like a god, and miraculously took Lingshi City and captured a lot of grain and grass and military supplies, which is completely the credit of Chen Fuliang alone, without Chen Fuliang's wise leadership and Hong Fu's protection, Cheng Yanjin and Wang Fubao and others would never be able to win such a beautiful battle in Lingshi.

"You've won the prize." Chen Fuliang smiled modestly and said: "On the day I arrived at Lingshi, I took the city, all of which were heroic battles of our soldiers who threw their heads and spilled their blood, and were not afraid of sacrifice, as well as Zhijie and Fubao, who were united, trusted each other and worked together, which created the miracle of the Lingshi War, which has nothing to do with this king." ”

"The king is humble and vain, appointing people on the basis of meritocracy, wise and martial, our army can be headed by the king, why worry that the thieves are not broken, and the world is not peaceful?" Many Sui soldiers saluted neatly and praised loudly, "His Royal Highness the King of Tang is more meritorious than the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, and the virtue is worthy of Yao Shunyu soup!" ”

"Isn't Lao Tzu a person who likes to listen to flattery? Why are there more and more sycophants under his command, and he can't stop scolding? ”

Chen Fuliang was very depressed, he simply didn't bother to pay attention to it, changed the topic and discussed the issue of advancing troops with everyone, and said: "Everyone, there was also good news from Yueyang yesterday, General Qin Qiong broke the Cao Dan Department of Dou Jiande's thief army on the battlefield of Yueyang, beheaded more than 1,000 people, captured more than 300 enemy soldiers, the thief withdrew to the camp and closed the camp to defend it, Yueyang is the throat of Linfen connected to the party, Dou Jiande's thief army is storming the cities of Shangdang, the party is in a hurry, I intend to divide a partial division to help General Qin Qiong recapture Yueyang first, and then go east to Shangdang, Rescue the Shangdang Taishou Yuan Zigan who was fighting alone there, I don't know if the general is willing to take on this heavy responsibility? ”

As soon as the words fell, more and more accomplices and lackeys under Chen Fuliang's command immediately responded in groups, rushing to take on this task. Chen Fuliang's cousin Li Jing immediately stood up, first shouted and slowly, and then turned to Chen Fuliang and said: "Your Highness, Yueyang threatens the flank of our army, and it should be recaptured as soon as possible. However, the lower officials believed that our army could not go east to rescue Shangdang via Yueyang Road, and this would be very unfavorable to our army. ”

"What my uncle said is very true." Chen Fuliang nodded, frowned, and said: "Yueyang Road is rugged and narrow, the transportation of grain and grass is difficult, the enemy is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is difficult for us to enter the army, but the party can't help but save ......." ”

"Why doesn't Your Highness consider letting the reinforcements advance to Changping, and then go north to rescue Shangdang?" Li Jing interrupted Chen Fuliang's words and explained: "After advancing to Changping to save the Shangdang, our army will certainly have to detour hundreds of miles to lengthen the route of the army, and also have to take the rugged mountain road, but the road is unobstructed and invincible. In this way, the transportation of grain and grass for our army is much easier, and it can also put Dou Jiande's thief army in an embarrassment, either retreating and retreating, or being forced to continue to increase troops to the Shangdang, and then have no strength to go west out of Jingcheng Pass and go straight to Taiyuan City to rescue Li's thief army. ”

"I'm on the wrong side! Why did you just want to take a short approach, and you didn't think of letting the reinforcements go back to Changping first and then go north to rescue Shangdang? ”

Chen Fuliang patted his forehead and was annoyed, and thanked Li Jing for his guidance, and then immediately decided to send 8,000 troops to Changping through the Ji clan, and then went north through Changping to rescue Shangdang, and then Chen Fuliang asked who was willing to lead the army, and the generals scrambled to fight again, and finally after careful consideration, it was decided to take the important task of Pang Yu, supplemented by the old lackey Niu Jinda and the scheming civil official Li Gang, and gave Pang Yu and Li Gang and others the right to make a direct decision on the spot, allowing them to mobilize the armies of the two counties and expand the army on the spot.

After Chen Fuliang announced this decision, Pang Yu, who was given the opportunity to command the army alone for the first time under Chen Fuliang, was of course overjoyed, and also said that Chen Fuliang finally found out in his conscience and finally believed that he was the big matchmaker who matched Chen Fuliang and the eldest grandson Xiao Luoli, but he didn't know that Chen Fuliang's move was just to test him to see if he was reliable and usable - Changping and Shangdang are both in place? The hinterland of Taihang Mountain is the shape of the heavenly prison, it is difficult to enter and exit, the population is scarce, the money and food are not enough, and even if Pang Yu, an important minister of the former dynasty, really has any different intentions, he can't turn up any big storms.

The detour to save the party's partial division was finalized, and then someone immediately stood up and asked to lead the army to help Qin Qiong attack the city, but unfortunately this time Li Jing's proposal was not eliminated, Chen Fuliang had already waved his hand and said: "There is no need to divide the troops again, anyway, there is no need to waste time and travel, this time the king personally proposed the main force to attack Yueyang, first break Yueyang and then enter the Bird Mouse Valley, and by the way, let Dou Jiande's thief army see the power of the king's main force!" I haven't fought and cut people for a few months, and the king's two hands have long been itchy! ”

"The king is wise! The king personally proposed the main force to attack the city, and the Dou thieves must be frightened and bow their heads to death! As pointed out by the Great King's Command, Cao Dan's thief army will become a powder! More and more sycophants under Chen Fuliang's command praised in unison again, and then many Sui army civilians and soldiers, including Li Jing, snorted coldly in their hearts, "Itchy hands when you haven't cut people for a few months?" It's a shame that you still have the face to say this, don't think we don't know, since your debut in the ninth year of Daye, your smiling tiger has never opened on the battlefield! ”

…………

The sycophants under Chen Fuliang's command are not completely blind, at least they are right-when they found out that Chen Fuliang personally led the main force of the Sui army to kill Yueyang, and the brother-in-law Cao, who had been killed by Qin Qiong, did have a feeling of being scattered, and immediately lost his voice and screamed: "Chen Yingliang traitor personally came with the main force? How are we going to fight this battle? It's better to withdraw the troops as soon as possible, otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to even withdraw to the party! ”

Ruan Junming and Dong Kangmai, who had resolutely opposed Cao's brother-in-law's abandonment of the city and retreat, were silent, because they never expected that Chen Fuliang would personally lead the main force of the Sui army to come to them first, and they would not be given the slightest opportunity to steal chickens and dogs. However, when it was very painful for Cao's brother-in-law, it happened that at this time, Dou Jiande sent someone to send an order quickly, asking Cao's brother-in-law to stick to Yueyang City and wait for reinforcements, and Dou Jiande also sent additional troops to the Linfen battlefield, and found trouble for Chen Fuliang and the traitor Wang Fubao to settle accounts!

"Aren't you killing me, my lord? What can I do to resist the main army of Chen Yingliang's traitors? "Cao's brother-in-law wailed, but no matter how much he wailed, it was useless, he led the army to retreat without fighting, and Cao's brother-in-law couldn't explain to Dou Jiande when he went back, and at the same time, the Sui army's Qin Qiong Department had already grabbed Cao's brother-in-law's tail, Cao's brother-in-law would inevitably be attacked by Qin Qiong when he abandoned the city and retreated at this moment, and the loss was still destined to be not small, and he would definitely not be able to keep the food that Wang Fubao had worked so hard to grab before, so Cao's brother-in-law had no choice but to order to hold on, and prepare to guard first to see the situation.

In addition, for the sake of prudence, Cao's brother-in-law, who was actually very careful in using troops to fight, also moved the general headquarters into Yueyang City in advance, and let the general Ruan Junming be responsible for the defense of the camp outside the city, and also ordered Dong Kangmai to lead an army of 1,000 to retreat into the mountain road first to protect the retreat route from being seized by the Sui army in a roundabout way and making dumplings.

When Cao's brother-in-law wailed outside Yueyang City, Chen Fuliang also issued a decree to buy people's hearts under the city of Yangxian County, that is, in view of the fact that the whole county of Linfen was too damaged by the melee of the three armies and the ordinary people suffered too deeply, Chen Fuliang decided to reduce the tax on money and grain for two years and reduce the commercial tax for one year in Linfen County, so as to buy and please the people of Linfen and the people of Jinzhong who attached importance to commerce. The soldiers and civilians of Linfen, who did not know the truth, were overjoyed when they heard the order, and they all rejoiced, and they gave Chen Fuliang the tablet of immortality, but they didn't know that Chen Fuliang, who held the two warehouses of Changping and Yongfeng, even if he reduced the taxes of the whole world for a year, he could still fight everywhere with military force, and they should really be grateful to Yang Jian and Yang Guang father and son instead of Chen Fuliang who enjoyed his success.

Enjoying the cheers of the people who did not know the truth, Chen Fuliang triumphantly led the main force of the Sui army to Yueyang, and successfully arrived at Yueyang City on the afternoon of the ninth day of the fifth month, and joined the vanguard Qin Qiong. Nearly 70,000 troops spread all over the mountains and fields, completely submerging the wilderness southwest of Yueyang, lining up flags during the day, covering the mountains and rivers, setting fire drums at night, shaking the heavens and the earth, and rushing into the sky with a mighty momentum, so that the Dou Jiande army who had eaten and seen it was all afraid in their hearts, and no one dared to propose a battle! - Cao Dan, Gao Yaxian, Ruan Junming and other generals of the Dou Army have seen more armies than this before, but they have never seen so many well-equipped, elite and capable of maintaining such a large scale!

In the evening, Chen Fuliang held a military meeting in the Chinese military camp to discuss the battle plan, and what surprised Chen Fuliang was that the Sui army's thoughts this time were exactly the same as his, and they said in unison: "Daqin Zheng, the main force of our army is under Yueyang City, and the thief army guards the city and sets up camp to form horns with each other. In the battle of tomorrow, our army should attack the enemy camp in the city at the same time and break it together to show the might of the king! The edge of our army! ”

In the past, Chen Fuliang, who was as timid as a mouse, naturally had to reprimand his subordinates, saying that they were too arrogant and arrogant, but this time it was different, the absolute strength was placed here, and Chen Fuliang couldn't do it even if he didn't want to put the enemy on the other side in his eyes. After applauding loudly, Chen Fuliang immediately dispatched troops and decided that the next day Qu Tutong would lead an army of 10,000 to attack Yueyang City, and Yuan Tiangang personally led the artillery team to provide cover for Qu Tutong, and ordered Luo Shixin to lead an army of 5,000 to attack the camp outside the city of Dou Jiande's army, and Qin Qiong led the headquarters to assist Luo Shixin in attacking the camp.

This is the first battle of the Northern Expedition of the main force of the Sui army, and it is also the first battle of the Northern Expedition under the personal command of Chen Fuliang. Therefore, after the sun rose in the early morning of the next day, when the two Sui armies marched towards the enemy camp at the same time, Chen Fuliang also personally led Wei Chi Jingde, Guo Feng, Chen Ci and their cavalry out of the camp with them, and went to the battlefield to personally supervise the battle, and along with the morale of the army, he also put some gold, silver and jewelry on the battlefield to show the public, ready to be used to reward the Sui soldiers who made meritorious contributions on the battlefield.

Of course, the generals of Dou Jian's German army such as Cao's brother-in-law were angry with Chen Fuliang's arrogant actions, but there was no way, the situation was not as good as people, no matter how Chen Fuliang had no one in his eyes, and the weak brother-in-law Cao, Ruan Junming and others did not have the courage to send troops to fight, they all shouted loudly and ordered their soldiers to guard the camp and city with all their might, and they must resist Chen Fuliang's attack no matter what.

At three o'clock in the morning, the Sui army was arranged, Yuan Tiangang gave an order, and the Sui army's artillery, which had as many as 30 guns, was the first to exert its might, and concentrated artillery fire to bombard the Yueyang West Gate Tower, and the result was that the ear-opening Dou Jian's German army was that the Sui army's artillery was just a round of salvo, and the tower of Yueyang's west gate was blown away, and by the way, it took away the precious lives of more than ten or twenty Dou soldiers - no way, if you want to defend the city, you have to have more rows of archers on the city, the soldiers on the wall are too dense, and the Sui army's artillery is even if there is only one cannonball smashed on the top of the city wall, which can also take several lives in the bounce.

Seeing this scene, Dou Jiande's army was in an uproar, and the morale naturally plummeted with the uproar, but the Sui army cheered loudly, and then Luo Shixin gave an order, and a thousand Sui army infantry immediately strode forward, and used a long shield to build temporary fortifications outside the Dou army camp guarded by Ruan Junming, covering the archers to release arrows to suppress the defenders in the camp, and then the shrimp toad cart carried the soil forward, filling the trench of Dou Jiande's army, and the action was skillful and fast, so that the Dou army soldiers were frightened again. knew that what they met this time was a veteran of a hundred battles who had been cutting people on the battlefield all year round, not the rabble who had been bullied in Hebei before.

The artillery continued to roar, first bombarded the city wall of Yueyang West Gate to a full of devastation, and then turned the muzzle of the cannon and concentrated on bombarding the drawbridge and the city gate, but unfortunately, Dou Jiande's army, which had been instructed by the Taiyuan army before, had blocked the city gate with straw bags of soil, so the Sui army's artillery only bombarded the city gate and the drawbridge, and failed to directly blast the road into the city like the last Huoyi battle.

But it doesn't matter, in fact, as early as the day when Chen Fuliang entered Linfen City, in order to save time, the careful Chen Fuliang had ordered to prepare a batch of siege equipment, disassembled and loaded the car and brought it to Yueyang City, which was not far away, and assembled and restored it overnight last night. Qu Tutong, who was in charge of the siege, gave an order, and thirty trench bridge vehicles immediately stepped forward to build more than 20 temporary bridges on the Yueyang moat under the cover of bows and arrows.

At the same time as the temporary bridge was built, Luo Shixin had already filled out more than a dozen sections of the trench road with a shrimp toad car, and then almost at the same time, Luo Shixin and Qu Tutong ordered an attack at the same time, and two thousand Sui soldiers divided their troops into two roads, all the way with axes and hammers to smash the antlers of the Dou army camp, and all the way to carry the flying ladder to the ant-attached siege city. Dou Jiande's army desperately threw arrows and stones, but he could not stop the charging footsteps of the Sui army.

During this period, Yuan Tiangang, who confirmed that he could not bombard the road in and out, in order to save gunpowder and shells, ordered the artillery team to move south, to the front of the Dou army camp to help Luo Shixin, although the young and vigorous Luo Shixin felt that there was no need for this, Chen Fuliang praised Yuan Tiangang a few words in the distance - it has indeed been completely damaged by himself, and he can not only consider how to be stingy, but also know how to bully the weak.

It is indeed a bully of the weak, Qu Tutong's infantry only used a charge, and successfully killed the Yueyang West Gate city wall that had been bombarded by Sui artillery, although Dou Jiande's army also mustered up the courage to fight back wildly, but it was still unable to drive the Sui soldiers who rushed to the city wall down the city again, and the Sui soldiers behind continued to climb the city under the cover of their companions in the city, and gradually seized a city head position. Seeing this scene, Qu Tutong said proudly that the old man had finally gotten rid of the entanglement of bad luck, and then without hesitation, he ordered the follow-up army to follow and attack the small city of Yueyang, which was only two feet high on the city wall.

At this time, Luo Shixin's attacking army has also destroyed a large number of enemy camp fortifications, Luo Shixin couldn't wait to personally lead the army to charge, but Yuan Tiangang personally came forward to persuade him, and then first transferred to the front of the enemy camp A few Sui artillery immediately opened fire, a salvo hit the door of the Dou military camp into the sky, Luo Shixin was overjoyed, and immediately personally led the death squad to storm the enemy's camp gate, Yuan Tiangang commanded the Sui artillery to extend the fire into the enemy's camp without mentioning.

The shouting and killing sound had already sounded at the same time in the two battlefields of the city and the camp, and the Sui army's Qu Tutong Department was like a torrent of waves, constantly slapping the west gate of Yueyang City, and also constantly churning and pouring up the city wall of Yueyang West Gate.

On the side of the Sui army Luo Shixin, it was the main general Luo Shixin as the blade, like a sharp knife directly inserted into the enemy camp gate that was opened by artillery, Dou Jian's German army once tried to temporarily block the camp gate with a Saimen knife car, and was quickly blown up by the Sui soldiers with gunpowder bottles The cart soldiers, and then easily pushed away the knife cart with a spear and long shield, opening up the forward space for the little monster Luo Shixin who held two knives. The soldiers of the Sui army continued to pour into the camp, and at the same time, three or four gaps were opened in the fence position.

Originally, Chen Fuliang was still a little worried that it would be difficult for the Qu Tutong Department to make a breakthrough if he could not open the road into the city, but Chen Fuliang soon found that he was completely worried in vain, Yueyang City was less than a zhang thick city wall space, and the Sui army soldiers rushed up to successfully seize a city wall position with one hundred and ten people, opening up the space for the rear army to climb the city, and the Sui soldiers could continue to climb the city with only flying ladders, and the ant attached battle only fought for more than half an hour and quickly controlled the city wall position of more than 20 zhang, and it was only a matter of time to seize the city wall of the West Gate.

The war went so smoothly, and he was replaced by another coach, he must have been dancing and laughing, but his Royal Highness Chen Fuliang, who had lost his conscience, was different, looking at the offensive performance of the Sui army's officers and soldiers, Chen Fuliang had a feeling of great regret on the contrary, and said secretly: "I knew that I wouldn't come if I was so bored, how good it would be to stay in the camp to rest, Wei Ziqi secretly sent me that Jiangnan singer is good, I want to have a face, I want to have a figure, I should work her a few more times." ”

Probably aware of Chen Fuliang's boredom, Dou Jiande's army also found something for Chen Fuliang to do, and after obtaining the consent of Cao's brother-in-law, Dou Jun's fierce general Gao Yaxian gathered more than 200 horsemen in Yueyang City, suddenly opened the south gate of Yueyang and went out of the city, and then rushed towards Chen Fuliang's handsome banner, ready to gamble on a fight to cut off Chen Fuliang's lack of morality. However, what made Gao Yaxian secretly happy in his heart was that when he saw the handsome banner that was heading straight for Chen Fuliang, Qu Tutong and Luo Shixin of the Sui army did not stop them at all, as if they wished that Gao Yaxian could cut off Chen Fuliang's head, they sat back and ignored it, and let Gao Yaxian's army pass through the edge of their defense area.

"Good! I can't imagine that the Chen thief army is so light on the enemy, I have hope! ”

At this moment, Gao Yaxian was of course secretly happy in his heart, but if he could see the situation around Chen Fuliang, then he would definitely be able to faint in anger - seeing him kill directly, the three generals of Wei Chi Jingde, Guo Feng and Chen Ci actually guessed their fists in front of Chen Fuliang, who was yawning, and decided who would lead the army to meet the battle. Then when Chen Ci cheered for the final victory, Guo Feng and Wei Chi Jingde pleaded in a low voice: "Brother Chen, why don't you leave a few for us, we are really itchy hands." ”

"Brethren, cheer me up and read it! Don't let any of them go! ”

This is Chen Ci's answer to Guo Feng and Wei Chi Jingde's crooked nose, and then more than 400 newspaper ** cavalry under Chen Ci's command neatly showed their iconic white robes, and chanted loudly behind Chen Ci, who was holding a copper stick, to attack, and greeted the Dou Army's elegant and virtuous troops who were killing head-on, and the strange sound of Buddhist scriptures also echoed on the battlefield, "Nan Wu Great Compassion Relief Suffering and Relief of the Great Inspiration Guanyin Bodhisattva Mahasattva." There is no Buddha in the south, there is no Buddha in the south, there is no monk in the south, and there is no Guanyin Bodhisattva in the south to save suffering. Woe, oh. Galovado, Gavaldole ....... ”

There is no suspense, whether it is troops, equipment or experience training, they are far from being opponents, and the indomitable spirit of sacrificing life cannot make up for the huge gap between the cavalry of the Dou army and the cavalry of the newspaper. The two armies collided, thousands of horses' hooves raised high dust, yellow sand covered their eyes, and they couldn't see their fingers, and the two armies were killing in the smoke and dust, wave after wave, the fierce sabre chopping sound, the sonorous sound of weapons colliding, the neighing of war horses, and the screams of the dead and wounded, all kinds of sounds converged into one, so tragic that it was like the screams of thousands of unjust souls in hell. However, after the miserable screams disappeared, less than fifty cavalry of the Dou Army fled to the way they came, leaving behind the corpses of men and horses all over the ground, as well as the wounded soldiers of the Dou Army who rolled and moaned in the bloody yellow sand for help, and the newspaper ** Chen Ancestral Department who laughed loudly.

While Guo Feng and Wei Chi Jingde complained loudly that their comrades-in-arms were not interesting enough, Chen Fuliang yawned again and muttered in a low voice: "It's still the skin of Jiangnan women, and when Jiangnan is defeated, I must ask Brother Liu and Xingfang to send me a few." ”

On the tenth day of the fifth month of the third year of the Great Sui Yining, the king of the division conquest of the Dou thief general Cao Dan, the Tang King Chen Yingliang His Royal Highness came to the front of the battle to supervise the battle, the three armies of the king division were excited, competing for the first, the big break the thief, broke its camp to recover Yueyang City, beheaded more than 3,500 people, captured more than 4,000 enemies, captured the thief Zhang Jinzhong, killed the thief Yuan Ge and other generals more than 20 people, the thief was defeated and went to the party, the king pursued more than 20 miles, the Tang king thought of the good life of God, personally ordered the army to collect the troops, and let the thief army escape. The king's soldiers praised, "Your Highness is merciful! ”
