Chapter 71: The Decisive Battle of Yang Xuangan (Medium)
The battle situation is still stalemate, no matter how the rebel team storms the left and right flanks of the Sui army, but it has always been unable to break through the fence defense line of the Sui army, the temporary construction, so thin that it seems that a gust of wind can blow down the horse fence, as if it is blessed by some magic, has always been standing, the well-equipped and well-equipped Sui army team relied on this thin defense line, to block the repeated impact of the rebel team, the more they fought, the more confident they became, and the more they fought, the more morale they had.
No one can understand why this simple fence will play such a huge role, only Chen Yingliang, who has worked hard and studied criminal psychology, knows the mystery, although the Sui army hastily built this fence is thin, but it can avoid the most brutal melee with the enemy in the first time, and can use this thin fence to protect the neat queue, use bows and spears to kill and wound the enemy first, obtain a subtle but incomparably important first move, eliminate tension, and produce the feeling that the enemy on the opposite side is nothing more than this, Then, in the case of dominance, his confidence became stronger and stronger, and he gradually gave full play to the multiple advantages of weapons and equipment, military training, and abundant physique, and unconsciously crossed the psychological barrier of fear of war and fear of the enemy.
In this way, it is natural to suffer the poor rebel soldiers, and then there is the persecution of the supervision team led by the rebel generals himself, there is a sea of guns and spears of the Sui army soldiers in front, and there is an absolutely damn roadblock, rushing forward will be stabbed to death by the iron spears and spears of the Sui army, and if you retreat back, you will be hacked to death by the knives and axes of your own supervision team, you can't advance or retreat, you can only stalemate with the Sui army across the fence, and you can't think of a way to break through the turtle formation of the Sui army anyway.
The inexperienced rebel soldiers could not break through the turtle formation of the Sui army, but the old general Li Zixiong, who had a lot of experience, had a way, and observed the turtle formation of the Sui army for a long time in the rebel flag formation. In order to make a breakthrough and break the stalemate on the battlefield, the old man believes that it is time for us to make some sacrifices. β
"What sacrifice? Old general, please speak. Yang Xuangan replied.
"Let General Yang Jishan withdraw the infantry and let the cavalry charge." Li Zixiong said: "The official army's anti-horse fence is only more than half a person high, let our cavalry charge, of course, it will lose some valuable cavalry, but our cavalry team can rely on the charge advantage and condescending advantage, quickly break through a section of the official army's fence, as long as a gap is opened, our follow-up team can endlessly kill into the official army's formation, from the inside to destroy the officer's turtle formation." β
"Then let the cavalry charge." Yang Xuan said generously: "There are undead people in the war? When we enter the customs and open up the connection with the Western Regions, are we afraid that we won't be able to get a war horse? β
After saying that, Yang Xuangan immediately sent someone to Yang Jishan according to Li Zixiong's JianyΓ¬ to give Yang Jishan an order, and let Yang Jishan act according to the plan. And after the herald was just sent out, the soldiers also sent the wine and meat that Hongnong's father had rewarded him to Yang Xuangan, and sent Yang Xuangan a jar of unopened wine, twenty steamed buns and a large plate of fragrant braised pork, Yang Xuangan was also quite generous, and said to Li Zixiong and Li Mi: "Old general, Dharma Master, come over to eat and drink." β
Yang Xuangan personally opened his mouth to invite, of course the respected Li Zixiong Li Lao General would not refuse, Li Mi, who also did not have a full meal in the morning, hesitated, in order to maintain sufficient body or didn't care to consider the feelings of the soldiers, and after thanking him, he also sat next to the wine and food, and after reaching out to pick up a steamed bun, Li Mi, who had felt that something was wrong before, suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly stopped: "Duke Chu, old general, please eat slowly, did you find something very strange?" β
"Isn't that right?" Yang Xuangan asked casually while patting the mud seal of the wine jar with his own hands.
"This roast meat." Li Mi pointed to the oily braised pork and said: "In the past, when the local fathers and elders sent wine and meat to reward our army, they generally sent live pigs and live sheep. β
"Master, why are you so suspicious?" Li Zixiong said angrily: "These wine and meat are sent by a large Hongnong family, there are many people in the family, it doesn't take much effort to cook the meat, and it is convenient for us to eat it immediately, it is the carefulness of this Sangzi, can you be so suspicious?" β
"If you don't want to eat, you can skip it." Yang Xuangan was a little angry again, so he simply left Li Mi and ignored it, and ate and drank with Li Zixiong on his own, while Li Mi picked up a piece of braised pork and sniffed left and right, although he didn't find anything abnormal, he was still cautious and didn't dare to eat at will.
At this time, Yang Jishan's team, which had received the order, also began to adjust their tactics, first withdrawing the infantry team and regrouping the team, and then the cavalry team trotted forward, arranging a dense charging formation in the distance opposite the fence of the Sui army. Seeing this situation in the Sui army's flag array, Chen Yingliang immediately understood that Yang Xuangan was in a hurry to jump over the wall, and hurriedly ordered: "Order the 123rd Regiment of the Front Army to reinforce the left flank at full speed!" Ordered Zhao Yu that his team was ready for a bloody battle, and once the enemy cavalry broke through the fence, he would immediately fill the gap, and at any cost, he would also block the enemy team for me, and he would definitely not give the traitors a chance to enter our formation! β
The herald rushed down to give the order, and Wei Xuan next to him reminded: "Ying Liang, the team from the front army to reinforce the left flank has weakened our most important frontal defense, so it is better to directly send a team from the Chinese army to reinforce the team." β
"I did it on purpose." Chen Yingliang replied coldly: "I deliberately weakened the frontal defense, which is to lead the traitor to break through head-on!" β
As he spoke, the adjusted rebel cavalry had already begun to charge and assault, and they used their horses and human bodies to hit the thin fence of the Sui army, and the soldiers of the Sui army, who had been trained to resist the surprise attack of the cavalry, lined up in a dense horizontal line behind the fence, stabbed the spears in their hands obliquely into the sky, and waited nervously for the enemy to attack. At the same time, the three teams of the Sui Army's front army, which had received the order, had already left their positions and were reinforcing the left flank at full speed.
In the roaring sound of horses' hooves, the rebel cavalry charging at full speed has been unstoppable in front of the Sui army's formation, although the Sui army's soldiers stabbed a lot of rebel cavalry or war horses with the tip of their spears, but these rebel cavalry who were shot still hit the fence by inertia, and the thin fence was loosened and almost overturned, and several rebel cavalry with particularly skilled horsemen jumped up in front of the fence, although the spears of the Sui soldiers also stabbed their horses in the belly, they still even led the men and horses over the fence that was only more than half a person high, Entered the interior of the turtle formation of the Sui army.
Fortunately, Chen Yingliang's Zhao Yu team, which had been arranged on the left flank, played a key role, rushed up in time, quickly surrounded the rebel cavalry, and stabbed the rebel cavalry to death with knives and guns, which did not give the rebel team a chance to destroy the Sui army's turtle formation.
After killing these rebel cavalry only played a delaying role, after rushing to the fence at any cost, the condescending rebel cavalry desperately slashed and killed the Sui soldiers behind the stabbing fence, and the Sui soldiers who had to raise their heads to fight were staggered left and right, panicked and parried, and could not effectively assassinate the enemy on the opposite side as before, and the fence defense line inevitably appeared shaken and chaotic, forcing Zhao Yu to immediately lead the army forward to help the friendly army resist the enemy's offensive. At the same time, Yang Jishan also personally led the rebel infantry team to charge again, and the left flank position of the Sui army soon fell into a bitter battle, and several sections of fences were smashed by the rebel team, forcing the Sui army to attack with flesh and blood.
The shape shì began to be critical, although Zhao Yu's team made every effort to fill the leaks and plug the gaps, General Liu also came to the front of the battle in person, under the protection of dozens of pro-soldiers, cheered for the Sui army, yelled and demanded that the Sui soldiers sacrifice their lives to fight, but the Sui army team could no longer kill the rebel team that had rushed to the front, on the contrary, it was also killed by the condescending rebel cavalry and retreated, and the biggest psychological dependence on the simple fence was quickly smashed by the rebel team Five or six zhang wide, the rebel team began to gradually advance into the Sui army's tortoise formation. Fortunately, the Sui army had sufficient troops on the left flank, and the rebels could not advance faster.
Seeing such a situation, Chen Yingliang gritted his teeth, and simply transferred two more teams from the front to the left flank reinforcements, and arranged eleven regiments of troops for the important left flank battlefield in the second frenzy, but only five dissatisfied Sui army teams were left in the most important frontal defense line to defend, and in addition to the Sui army teams of these five regiments, the Chinese army flag array where Chen Yingliang and Wei Xuan were located, only Guo Feng, Chen Zhihong and Chen Ci were left with three equally dissatisfied Baoguo army teams to defend!
At the same time, Yang Xuangan and Li Zixiong, who had already eaten and drunk, saw Chen Yingliang once again mobilize the frontal team to reinforce the left-wing battlefield, and immediately laughed wildly, and the veteran General Li, who was experienced on the battlefield, leaned forward and fell back with laughter, pointed to the turtle formation of the Sui army and laughed wildly and said: "Chen Yingliang thief, in the end is just a yellow-haired boy who talks on paper, how can he defend the front of his turtle formation by transferring so many troops from the front to the left flank?" β
"Chen Yingliang is a thief, is it really just a Zhao Kuo and the like who talk on paper?"
Li Mi remained silent, and Li Mi could also see that Chen Yingliang's move was a stupid move, but Li Mi's strong sixth sense told him that this matter was probably not simple, and Chen Yingliang, who was treacherous, cunning and bold, may have his special reasons for doing this, so Li Mi could only secretly say in his heart: "May God bless you, Chen Yingliang is a thief, he is really just a yellow-haired boy who can only talk on paper." β
Li Mi was praying, but the old general Li Zixiong was already shouting impatiently, "Duke Chu, the opportunity is rare, it's time to launch a frontal raid!" Taking advantage of General Yang Jishan's entanglement of nearly half of the officers and soldiers, he launched a frontal assault, and he will definitely destroy the turtle formation of the official army in one fell swoop! β
"Duke Chu, the last general asks for the order to attack the front of the official and military formation!" Several rebel generals next to him all jumped out, scrambling to ask for orders to attack the front of the Sui army's turtle formation.
"You don't have to go!" Yang Xuangan grabbed his favorite iron-handled spear and shouted, "Lead the horse!" This pillar country will personally lead 2,000 cavalry assault officers and soldiers to avenge my second and fifth brothers! β
"Duke Chu, it's best to bring another two thousand infantry with you!" Old General Li Zixiong hurriedly reminded: "The cavalry assault officers and soldiers are in the banner formation, and the infantry shares the pressure on both wings, which can ensure that you can take down the heads of Chen Xiaothief and Wei Xuan's old puppet in one fell swoop!" β
"Good idea, Wang Zhongbo, Yang Gongdao, you lead two thousand infantry to charge with me!" Yang Xuan roared with joy.
In addition to siege warfare, Yang Xuangan, who is excellent in martial arts, is famous for his penchant for taking the lead in field battles, which can not only boost morale but also kill the enemy - this is a habit that Yang Xuangan has been using since he started his army. Li Mi, who knew Yang Xuangan's bearish temper, didn't dare to stop it, but just said carefully: "Duke Chu, you might as well let the infantry come forward, you can lead the cavalry in the rear, so that it can be safer." β
Yang Xuangan didn't even look at Li Mi, and explained that Li Zixiong would lead the rear army, and then strode down the mountain to assemble the cavalry, completely ignoring Li Mi, leaving the old general Li in the flag array to teach the junior Li Mi, "Master, why don't you even learn a lesson?" Before General Yang Jishan let the infantry charge first, it has been proved that it is difficult for the infantry to break through the fence defense line of the officers and soldiers, and it has wasted countless time and sacrificed a large number of our soldiers. Do you know how rare and ...... our current fighters are? β
Li Mi didn't pay attention to the old General Li who liked to rely on the old and sell the old, and he was also deaf to the nagging lessons of the old General Li, looked at the Sui army flag array on the opposite side, and then turned his eyes to see Yang Xuangan, who had already raised his spear and led the army to attack, Li Mi suddenly felt a sudden palpitation, a strong sense of foreboding, and it also surged into Li Mi's heart at once, making Li Mi subconsciously think of a soldier's term - capture the thief and capture the king first!
"Ouch!"
Old General Li's moaning suddenly reached Li Mi's ears again, and Li Mi was so startled that he quickly came back to his senses and turned his head, but saw the gray-haired Old General Li covering his stomach and bending over, Li Mi was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Old General, what's wrong with you?" Something is wrong there? β
"It's not that there's something wrong, it's that my stomach is upset, and I want to come out with Gong." General Li replied with a wry smile: "There are many problems when people are old, Master of the Law, you will stare at it for a while, and the old man will come back to the back to pay respects, and he will come back with you to witness how the Duke of Chu broke the enemy." β
Saying that, the old general Li who had a cramp in his stomach hurriedly ran to the back and went back, looking at the wolf bΓ¨i appearance of the old general Li pressing his abdomen in a hurry, Li Mi scolded in his heart, "The old cow and the old horse have a lot of feces and urine, and they almost scared Lao Tzu to death!" The old immortal is shameless, I wish you to die soon! If it weren't for your desperate efforts to help this time, would the righteous teacher of Duke Chu be a wolf to this day?! β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
At the same time, in the Sui army flag array, seeing that the rebel crane wing array on the opposite side finally moved, a large number of rebel cavalry assembled in the front of the army to prepare for an attack, although because the distance was too far, it was not clear whether Yang Xuangan's handsome banner appeared in the rebel cavalry team, Chen Yingliang still quietly breathed a sigh of relief - it was possible to follow the pre-war prediction, it was Yang Xuangan who personally led the cavalry to raid the front of the Sui army, of course, it was the best, but it didn't matter if a rebel commander came, he defeated the elite of the rebel army, Yang Xuangan didn't have any combat teams in his hands to put into the battlefield.
After secretly praying for the blessing of the sky, Chen Yingliang turned to Wei Xuan and said: "Wei stays behind, the enemy has already been tricked, the villain wants to go down and lead the army to meet the enemy, and the flag array will be entrusted to you." You don't have to work hard to direct tactics, just wait until the villain defeats the frontal enemy, and you can give the next order to beat the drum and attack. β
"What do you mean? Are you going to face the enemy on the other side yourself? Wei Xuan, who was worried about the weak strength of the frontal guards, was taken aback.
"Sure enough, it's Yang Xuangan's handsome flag!" Chen Yingliang continued to look at the situation of the enemy army on the opposite side, and answered the question, and said: "Yes, the villain will personally lead the army to serve the country to meet the enemy, and he will bring back Yang Xuangan's head!" β
"Bring back Yang Xuangan's head?" Wei Xuan, who was no longer defeated in front of Yang Xuangan, almost stared out of his eyes and exclaimed, "You are stupid!" With more than 500 people, you can also take down Yang Xuangan's head?! β
"The villain has confidence!" Chen Yingliang replied categorically, and said with a smile: "If the villain can really bring back Yang Xuangan's head for the left-behind adult, the villain does not ask for a reward, but only asks for one thing to stay behind, and slaps Chai Shao, the son of Chai Shen, for the villain." Last time in Daxing City, Chai Shao bullied the villain when he was young and weak, and almost kicked the villain's ribs off. β
After that, without waiting for Wei Xuan to agree, Chen Yingliang had already strode down the dirt mountain, and walked quickly to the army that had been in line for a long time without looking back, Chen Zhihong and Guo Feng, who knew Chen Yingliang's intentions, immediately brought the war horse, and helped Chen Yingliang, who was wearing heavy armor, to get on the horse without saying a word. β
"Ready!" Chen Zhihong agreed in a low voice, and said to the **** soldier Nunu behind him, signaling Chen Yingliang to check the wine jugs and torches wrapped in straw in the hands of those **** soldiers, and pointed to the open space in front of the newspaper army - three tripping ropes had been nailed to the open space not far away.
"Remember, we only have one chance!" Chen Yingliang commanded in a low voice: "Tell every soldier, when you hear the attack order, immediately go all out to kill Yang Xuangan's rebel thief!" At any cost, I have to take down Yang Xuangan's head for me! β
Chen Zhihong, Guo Feng, and Chen Ci, the three captains of the Baoguo Army, agreed, and immediately rode their horses and trotted to the ranks of the Baoguo Army, either on foot or on horseback, and whispered Chen Yingliang's orders and demands. As soon as the three lieutenants left Chen Yingliang's side, another rode to Chen Yingliang's side, standing side by side with Chen Yingliang, Chen Yingliang turned his head to look, but saw that it was Wei Xuanlao who stubbornly came to his side alone, Chen Yingliang hurriedly said: "Wei Liu, this place is about to become a battlefield, it is very dangerous, you better go to the flag array to watch the battle." β
"Less!" Wei Lao stubbornly cursed and said viciously: "Over there in the flag array, the old man has temporarily handed it over to his own soldiers, so that they can beat the drum and attack when they see you win." The old man wants to come to the battlefield to see for himself, how did you kid take off Yang Xuangan's head! β
"Also, if you kid can really take off Yang Xuangan's head, avenge Daxing's 40,000 army, and vent this evil breath for the old man! Not to mention that it was a slap in the face of Chai Shen's son, the whole old man of the family can promise you to kill Chai Shen! His Royal Highness the Acting King, who is sitting in Daxing, is not only obedient to the old man, but also a disciple to the old man! The emperor himself has made a will, and when I meet His Royal Highness the Acting King, it must be His Royal Highness the Acting King who salutes the old man first! β
Hearing Wei Xuan's gnashing words, Chen Yingliang smiled slightly, and did not take the opportunity to mention any shameless request for his former fiancΓ©e Chai Qian to be his slave, but just shouted: "Brothers, sing it for me!" The wolf smoke rises, the rivers and mountains look north, the dragon rolls, the horse neighses, and the sword qi is like frost ......! β
