This battle is definitely the most glorious battle of the Sui army team since the Yang Xuangan mutiny, the Sui army team, which has been in a passive position to be beaten, took the initiative to attack the rebel camp for the first time, and attacked the rebel camp for the first time, and also beat the rebel team with an absolute advantage in the number of troops to the point that it was only able to parry, and there was no power to fight back.

This is also the most glorious moment of the Sui army in Luoyang since the Yang Xuangan mutiny, the rebel team inside and outside Kim Yong City has 30,000 or 40,000 people, of which there are more than 20,000 armed rebel soldiers, and the strength is still in absolute superiority, but they can only watch the Sui army team of less than 5,000 people show off their power outside Kim Yong City, killing people and setting fires, wantonly slaughtering their families and children, crying and screaming in the rebel camp under the city, and crying in the rebel team on the city wall. Countless rebel soldiers wept loudly when they saw their parents and family members die tragically under the swords of Sui soldiers.

It's not that there are no rebel soldiers who want to go out of the city and fight hard with the Sui army, but seeing the team of the national service army waiting outside the city gate, almost everyone is covered with blood, but no rebel soldier dares to open the city gate and rush out of the city to save his relatives, at the same time, the two brothers Yang Jishan and Yang Wanshuo also sent a team of henchmen to guard the city gate closely, and no one is allowed to approach the door latch, for fear that after the city gate is opened, those white-robed demons outside the city will take the opportunity to kill into the Kim Yong City, which is hoarded with countless grains and grass. Then the rebel ranks are the real general trend.

Correspondingly, the famous name of the **** in the rebel army is naturally rising again, the frightened rebel defeated soldiers are vying to tell the fierce and terrifying white-robed soldiers on the battlefield, killing people like hemp, exaggerating the courage and good fighting of the white-robed soldiers in unison, invincible, and boasting that the combat effectiveness is at most a quasi-first-class national army that is rare in the sky, unique on the ground, everyone is invulnerable to copper-headed iron arms, and it is easier for a **** soldier to kill a hundred people on the battlefield than to pinch an ant to death, There was even a local rebel soldier in Luoyang who swore an oath, "They are the reincarnation of the white-robed soldier more than eighty years ago!" My father's grandfather saw them when he was a kid and sang nursery rhymes about them, and my father taught me that nursery rhyme. ”

"What nursery rhyme? How to sing? ”

"The famous army general is not imprisoned, and thousands of troops avoid white robes! It means that no matter how many troops you have and how famous your generals are, you have to walk around when you meet a white-robed soldier! My father's grandfather also said that he saw with his own eyes 7,000 white-robed soldiers fighting against the million-strong army of the former dynasty, defeating millions of the former dynasty's army, and the corpses were piled higher than the mountains, and the white-robed soldiers basically did not die! ”

After raging outside Kim Yong City for more than an hour, after the Sui army team set fire to almost all the rebel camp houses and tents, the Sui army team originally wanted to continue to hunt down the rebel families, but Chen Yingliang, who was completely brainwashed by modern education, couldn't stand it anymore, and used the excuse that the rebel team did not dare to fight in Kim Yong City, and the self-army did not prepare siege weapons, so he asked Liu Changgong to order the retreat, and took the time to personally **** a folk girl Liu Changgong, although he was still a little excited, but he did not have the courage to lead the army alone against the rebels. had to quickly order the troops to be assembled and prepare to retreat, and countless rebel families who did not have time to run far escaped with their lives.

When retreating, as usual, Liu Changgong's team walked in the front with prisoners and booty, and Chen Yingliang also personally carried a wounded soldier as usual, and led the Baoguo army to walk behind the Sui army's palace.

The scene of the rebel camp after the Sui army raged was indeed difficult for the traverser Chen Yingliang to accept, the rebel camp that was as lively and prosperous as a market more than an hour ago was now completely shrouded in a sea of fire and smoke, and the corpses on the ground were all over the place, piled up, and most of them were the corpses of old and weak women and children, many of the women's corpses were still naked, the naked corpses were covered with traces of abuse, and the corpses of countless seriously injured and undead people were struggling and moaning, blood and water flowed down the ditch, floating up the remnants of the flag and broken guns, The air was filled with the smell of burnt human bodies, and the Chinese people wanted to vomit, and the scene was so miserable that people couldn't bear to read.

Yang Jishan and Yang Wanshuo did not have the courage to lead the army to pursue, until it was repeatedly confirmed that the Baoguo army had gone away, then opened the city gate and sent the army to clean up the battlefield, and the Baoguo army behind the palace also returned to Luoyang City eighteen miles away with the Sui army, and at the same time, because there were scouts to report the battle situation to the eastern capital, outside the Anxi Gate, Chen Yingliang and the soldiers of the Baoguo Army were once again ceremoniously greeted by the defenders of the Eastern Capital, and Yang Tong, the king of Yue, personally led the civil and military officials of the Eastern Capital to the city gate to meet Chen Yingliang, the triumphant division, The words of Chen Yingliang are extremely beautiful, and Chen Yingliang's name as the god of war has also completely resounded throughout the eastern capital.

At this point, the first counterattack of the defenders of the Eastern Capital against the rebel camp was over, and in the case of only twenty-six newspaper **** soldiers and more than a hundred Sui soldiers, Chen Yingliang and Liu Changgong joined forces to achieve incredible results, killing more than 11,000 enemies, including the rebels' families, so that the Sui army team that cleaned the battlefield could only count the results by cutting off the nose of the corpse, and could not carry so many heads back to the city, and also captured a large number of rebel ordnance baggage, More than a thousand captives, including women, were captured. The brilliant achievements of the civil and military people in the eastern capital were amazed, and it also made the other three tiger benlang generals of the right military guard all red-eyed, almost crazy with jealousy, and rushed to express their willingness to lead the army to fight in place of Liu Changgong next -- to be precise, to lead the army to cooperate with the army to serve the country.

In the face of such a murderous record, if Yang Dong and Fan Zigai did not order a heavy reward, then it is estimated that no one would be willing to work for them in the future, symbolically with Yang Dong's consent, Fan Zigai gave an order, and the carloads of wine and large baskets of roast meat were immediately sent to the camp of the Baoguo Army, and the Sui army team under Liu Changgong also followed suit, and everyone had wine and meat rewards, although these Sui soldiers could not let go of their bellies and eat wine and meat like the **** soldiers, but it was extremely strange that no one complained about this- These Sui soldiers are not stupid, they know what they are rewarding for, and they also know that they must not provoke the **** at this time.

Chen Yingliang and Liu Changgong were directly summoned into the imperial city, to participate in the celebration banquet held by Yang Tong himself, to accept the congratulations of the civil and military officials of the Eastern Capital, Yang Dong and the two important ministers of the Eastern Capital, Fan Zigai, Huangfu Wuyi personally accompanied, Luoyang City is qualified to enter the imperial city and has no official business The civil and military officials were also present, and the two heroes of Chen Yingliang and Liu Changgong were constantly praised, and the general Liu was praised as laughing and fluttering, Chen Yingliang was repeatedly modest, emphasizing: "They are all soldiers with their lives, and the emperor is blessed by Hongfu, The villain was able to win by luck today. I am not afraid of the jokes of the adults, the villain's knife today has not even touched a drop of the enemy's blood, it is really a puppet and a puppet. ”

"Chen Ji's room is too modest, as long as he can win the battle, what does it matter if he doesn't kill the enemy?" An official from the Eastern Capital said with a smile: "When Chen Qingzhi led 7,000 white-robed soldiers to the Northern Expedition to Qianwei, he attacked 32 cities along the way, fought 47 battles of all sizes, and was invincible, when did he kill an enemy with his own hands?" Chen Ji's room led the army to quell the rebellion as a clerk, and won every battle, which happened to be the same as Chen Qingzhi. ”

"yes, yes." Many Luoyang officials echoed, and another official asked curiously: "Chen Jifu, you and Chen Qingzhi happen to have the same surname, and they both let soldiers wear white robes to fight, where are your ancestors?" Is it related to the former Liang famous general Chen Qingzhi? ”

"It's ......."

Chen Yingliang was a little embarrassed, he really didn't know where the ancestor of the dead ghost Chen Yingliang was, and whether it was possible to be related to Chen Qingzhi. Pei Hongce, who was also present, changed his face slightly, and just wanted to open his mouth to interject the topic, not wanting people to delve into Chen Yingliang's life experience, but outside the main hall, a forbidden army guard happened to rush in, knelt down on one knee and hugged his fist to Yang Tong and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Yue, the Shangshu Wei Xuan of the Criminal Department sent Pang Yu from the prison gate to the direct pavilion as an envoy to come to the eastern capital to report the emergency, and a huge number of people have arrived outside the palace, asking His Highness to summon him immediately." ”

Hearing this, Yang Tong, who was only nine years old, subconsciously turned his head to look at Fan Zigai, the real boss in Luoyang, the eastern capital, but Fan Zigai's face changed and he exclaimed: "Urgent? What happened to Wei Wensheng? Invite the huge people in! ”

Seeing Yang Tong nodded, the guards hurriedly rushed down to give the order, and the singing, dancing and laughter in the hall also stopped abruptly, all waiting for the news with bated breath, but it didn't take long for a middle-aged man in civilian clothes to stumble up the hall, knelt down on Yang Tong's knees, and said breathlessly with a salute: "Weichen Pang Yu, meet His Royal Highness King Yue, Weichen was ordered by Daxing to stay behind and Wei Xuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, came to the Eastern Capital to report on the situation of the rebellion and ask for help. ”

"Asking for help?" Yang Tong was a little surprised, and said: "Huge man, Wei Shangshu led the army to rescue Luoyang, why did he ask us for help in turn?" ”

Everyone in the hall also looked surprised, but Pang Yu looked extremely embarrassed, kowtowed and replied: "Our army accidentally fell into Yang Rebellion's treacherous plan, was ambushed by Yang Rebel Thief Army, 40,000 troops lost nearly half, forced to retreat to the Yin of the Mountain, Yang Rebel Thief Army took advantage of the situation to attack, and is currently confronting our army in the northern area, the rebel thief is strong, our army is difficult to support alone, Wei Shangshu asked Luoyang to send an army, attack Yang Rebel back, and our army before and after the attack Yang Rebellion, and break the thief together!" This is Wei Shangshu's handwritten letter, please look at it Your Highness. ”

Saying that, Pang Yu picked up Wei Xuan's letter for help with both hands, and the guard quickly took it, first symbolically handed it to Yang Tong, and then quickly forwarded the letter to Fan Zigai and Huangfu Wuyi, and at the same time Pang Yu carefully introduced the battle situation of Wei Xuan's army, it turned out that because Wei Xuan did not receive Fan Zi Gai Jian yì in time, and was anxious for the shame of the defeat of the Xue Kui Han Road, he walked out of the easy to defend and difficult to attack Cuihan Road yesterday evening, and stationed troops at the western end of the mountain, and in the early morning of this morning, Yang Xuangan suddenly personally led an army to the front of Wei Xuan's camp to fight, Wei Xuan sent 20,000 foot cavalry to meet the battle, Yang Xuangan retreated from defeat, Wei Xuan's army, who was eager for revenge, was lured into the ambush circle arranged at the foot of the mountain by Yang Xuangan, the rebel ambush suddenly came out in three ways, Yang Xuangan also personally led the army to turn around and kill back, and attacked Wei Xuan's team on all sides, Wei Xuan's army was defeated, and less than 2,000 people in the 20,000 army fled back to the camp, and the rest were either annihilated by the rebels, or surrendered Yang Xuangan joined the glorious rebel team. Wei Xuan was worried that he would be outnumbered, so he arranged for Pang Yu Pegasus to come to Luoyang for help, hoping that the Luoyang army could stab Yang Xuan from behind.

After reading Wei Xuan's letter asking for help, and listening to Pang Yu's introduction to the battle situation, Fan Zigai, Huangfu Wuyi and others all gasped, saying that they didn't expect the main force of the rebel army to be like this, and in one day, almost half of the Daxing reinforcements were annihilated. Pang Yu pleaded with a sweaty head: "Fan stays behind, General Huangfu, the state affairs are important, and I ask you to send troops as much as possible, otherwise, Wei Shangshu is afraid that it will be difficult to hold it for a long time." Today's defeat is too great a blow to the morale of our army. ”

Fan Zigai and Huangfu Wuyi remained silent, but turned their eyes to Chen Yingliang and Liu Changgong, and the same was true of the Luoyang civil and military officials present, all of whom looked at Chen Yingliang and Liu Changgong, General Liu hurriedly lowered his head and shrunk his neck, for fear of being named to fight again, but Fan Zigai and Huangfu Wuyi and others did not count on him, they all focused on Chen Yingliang.

Of course, Chen Yingliang understood what Fan Zigai and the others meant, and in embarrassment, Chen Yingliang left the table and said: "Your Highness, the left-behind adult, General Huangfu, can the villain ask a few questions to the huge man first?" ”

"Yes, you ask." Fan Zigai nodded.

"Who are you? Who is qualified to ask this officer questions? Pang Yu also noticed Chen Yingliang, the only one present who was not wearing an official uniform except for himself, and couldn't help but be a little angry.

"Huge man, please answer his questions truthfully, and I'll tell you slowly in the future." Huangfu Wuyi coughed and said. Pang Yu was helpless, so he nodded in agreement.

"May I ask the huge man, how many troops does the Yang rebel thief army have on the battlefield in the north?" Chen Yingliang asked: "Have you ever found out the grain and grass of the Yang rebel army?" ”

"The strength of the Yang rebel army?" Pang Yu was extremely embarrassed and replied: "There are about 350,000 people, but our army scouts have not found out in detail, and as for the situation of grain and grass, we have not found out." ”

Fan Zigai, Huangfu Wuyi, Pei Hongce and other important ministers in Luoyang all had their faces longer than donkeys, because the Luoyang Sui army had had enough of the incompetence of the scouts and the unknown enemy situation, and they didn't expect that the scouts of the Daxing army were also a virtue. Chen Yingliang also frowned, and hurriedly asked, "With such a huge person, how is the deployment of the Yang Rebel Thief Army?" In addition to the team that confronted Wei Shangshu's army, there were also partial divisions in other places to arrange other villages? ”

"You ask me, who do I ask?" Pang Yu was even more angry, and said: "Our army only walked out of Cuihan Road yesterday evening, and its foothold is not stable, and you should know better about the subordinate situation of the rebel army, right?" ”

"It's over, I don't know if it's a question, how will this battle be fought?" Chen Yingliang sighed, bit his lip and pondered for a moment, Chen Yingliang arched his hand and said: "Huge man, then may I ask three questions that you will definitely be able to answer, first, on the way to deliver the letter, have you been pursued and intercepted by the rebel cavalry?" Second, how many days can Wei Shangshu's army of food and grass last? Third, was the camp of the Yang rebel army a logging village, or a deep ditch and a high fortress to build strong fortifications? ”

"What are you asking all this for?" Pang Yu was angry and puzzled, and replied angrily: "This official is under the protection of a group of Zuo Wuwei elite cavalry to send the letter eastward, and he has not been intercepted and pursued on the road, otherwise, in two hours, this official can walk more than sixty miles?" Our army's food and grass can last for five days! The Yang rebel thief army is approaching the north of the lower village, whether it is a deep ditch and a high base, the official came in a hurry and didn't know, but he saw the Yang rebel thief army building a fence from a distance. ”

Chen Yingliang carefully calculated, and asked Fan Zigai to bring a map of the surrounding areas of Luoyang, and asked Pang Yu to indicate the camp of Wei Xuanjun and Yang Xuangan's main force on the map, and finally Chen Yingliang thought about it for a long time, and then asked Pang Yu again: "Huge man, the last question, may I ask the seven days of grain and grass you said before, is the five days of grain and grass of the 40,000 army?" Or is it the five days of food and grass that you have left for the army now? ”

"Of course, it's five days of grain and grass for an army of 40,000!" Pang Yu had long seen that Chen Yingliang, who had been constantly in trouble, was not pleasing to his eyes, and said angrily: "The rear army of our army has not been attacked, and there is no loss of grain and grass, of course, it is five days of grain and grass for an army of 40,000!" ”

"That's going to do it." Chen Yingliang finally showed some joy, turned to Fan Zigai and the others and said: "His Royal Highness King Yue, the left-behind lord, General Huangfu, it is a matter of military aircraft, can you take a step to speak in the side hall?" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Pang Yu stopped hearing this, and said angrily: "Who are you?" Dare to interject and speak on military affairs? ”

"Pang ......, Pang Zhige, don't be impatient." Imperial Historian Lu Chu opened his mouth and stammered and said: "This ......, this Chen Ji Room, is an outstanding newcomer to my Eastern Capital Army, not only brave in battle, but also has many unique insights in military strategy and tactics, often able to anticipate the enemy's aircraft first, and put forward a lot of good ideas in the counterinsurgency war, so Fan Liushou and General Huangfu only ...... and allowed him to speak in the palace." ”

"Oh, I see." Pang Yu's face finally slowed down a little, and he hurriedly said: "Chen Ji Office, don't mind, this official is also anxious about military affairs, so he spoke impulsively, what do you have to say, please speak up." ”

"yes." Yang Yuhuan's great-grandfather, Guozi Priest Liquor Yang Wang, also smiled and said: "Chen Ji Room, I have long heard that you are not only brave and good at fighting, but also both civil and military, strategizing in the midst of the battle, and winning thousands of miles away, we have seen your martial bravery, now it's time to see your military strategy and tactics, if there is anything to build, just say it directly, let us also open our eyes." ”

"yes, let's just say it. The palace is full of court officials, so do you have to worry about leaking secrets? Many civil and military officials echoed, their expressions full of curiosity.

Chen Yingliang was difficult to ride a tiger at this time, so he could only turn his eyes to Fan Zigai for help, but Fan Zigai, who was usually domineering to kill people without blinking, also said: "Let's just say it, take advantage of the presence of all the adults, let you adults see your talents, and also help you staff and staff, one person has short skills, and two people have long skills." ”

"It's ......." Chen Yingliang couldn't cry or laugh, and looked at Pang Yu with an expectant face in embarrassment, Chen Yingliang said in a hesitant voice: "The villain thinks that our army must not send troops to attack Yang's thief army. ”

"What did you say?!" As worried about Chen Yingliang, Pang Yu sent by Wei Xuan was really three feet high, pointed at Chen Yingliang's nose and roared, "Little horseman, what did you say?" You can't send troops to rescue Wei Shangshu, you want to kill Wei Shangshu? Want to kill the 20,000 troops of the Great Sui Imperial Court?! ”
