Chapter 5: The Way Home (Part 4I)

It has only been half an hour since the official contact between the enemy and us, but Yu Wenshi Ji feels as if he has been waiting for a hundred spring and autumn seasons. ♀

The entire right flank is collapsing, and the rebels who have fled the fastest have already spread to the Xiongwu camp. Waves of pro-soldiers were sent to warn the Chinese army, but there has been no reply from my father so far. Listening to the thunderous drums and the tsunami-like shouts of killing, Yu Wenshi felt that his forehead had begun to "smoke", and he couldn't imagine what kind of outcome the 300,000 Sui army, his own family, and the Great Sui court would face after the entire right wing collapsed!

Once this battle is lost, Luoyang City will no longer be owned by the Great Sui. The Great Sui Dynasty, which had lost its last army soldiers, would also collapse as quickly as a rain-soaked earthen wall. And the Yuwen family will become the first sacrifice before the fall of the Great Sui Dynasty, and the reputation, wealth and power accumulated over more than a hundred years will disappear.

And now he can't make any moves, before the Chinese army issued an order, as a guard guard, he issued any order without authorization, which is a crime that can be beheaded.

Just when he was in a hurry and took a risk, the direction of the Chinese army finally provoked a string of golden corner flags. "The Xiongwu battalion quickly supports the right flank!" The meaning expressed by the Lingqi was simple and clear, and Yu Wenshi raised his horse lance high and pointed diagonally to the right front, "Xiongwu Battalion, break the enemy with me!" ”

"Break the enemy-!" The response was sparse and sparse, and there was no strength at all. The Scholar and the reins of the horse were tightened so hard that the horses that had already rushed out of the queue raised their front hooves high. ♀ "Brothers, slay the thief with me! He turned around and shouted again. The response in the four places was still sparse, Murong Luo, Li Anyuan, Cui Qian, Li Mengwei, and several core figures of the Xiongwu Battalion did not move, they looked at Li Xu, waiting for the official order of the main general.

Two streaks of sweat quickly trickled down Yu Wenshi's sideburns, and he instantly understood the reason why the generals refused to follow him. Li Xu didn't move, he was just supervising the army, and he had the right to counsel military affairs and supervise the commander-in-chief, but he had no right to lead the troops to attack. The generals are friends, and the main general Li Xu has a soft temperament and does not fight for power, so the soldiers do not deliberately consider who will give them orders between the chief general and the supervising army. And after yesterday's dinner, the Yuwen family's intention to support their own children and Li Xu to compete for power has been very clear. At this time, when the soldiers listened to the order, they naturally had to consider the difference between the identity of the chief general and the supervising army.

"My Yuwen family won't ......" Yuwen Shihe felt his words rolling in his throat, but he didn't have the courage to say it. He wanted to promise that the Yuwen family would not forget what everyone did today. But after yesterday's dinner, I'm afraid that at this moment, the entire Xiongwu camp knows how the Yuwen family repays the life-saving benefactor. "The reward of the Yuwen family", this sentence has long become a laughing stock in everyone's hearts, unless it is a fool, no one believes that the noble Yuwen family will keep the benefits of others in mind.

"Asahiko!" Yu Wenshi turned his face and shouted at Li Xu. It is impossible for Li Xu to disobey the general's order at a critical moment, otherwise, even if he has a gold medal for exoneration to save his life, the military discipline of the Great Sui will not be able to spare him. But as the commander of the Xiongwu Battalion, he has countless ways and means to reduce the combat effectiveness of his command. Yu Wenshi and others can now come up with more than a dozen ways to disobey the yang and the yin. ♀ He can stall for time, he can work without help, he can even strike carefully, and then find an excuse to quickly retreat from the battlefield. With the right Wuhou and the right imperial guard as shields, the people who can retreat in the chaos of the army will never think that he is passive and avoids the war.

Yu Wenshi and Ping Su were originally much more witty than Li Xu, and at the moment it was a matter of family safety, but he couldn't help but be distracted. He finally understood why Li Xu could still calmly associate with him after being so obviously excluded. "He had expected it for a long time, and he had already thought of a way to get revenge!" The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was caught in a great conspiracy. "Li Anyuan, Murong Luo, these guys have already colluded with him, just to make the Yuwen family ruined!" Yu Wenshi wiped his face with the palm of his hand, wiping sweat, tears, and dust on his face. He knew that it was no one else's fault, retribution would come back sooner or later, and today was the right time. The third time he raised the lance, Yuwenshi's shouting became hysterical, "Sons of the Yuwen family, rush with me." Let them see our blood! ”

With that, he loosened the reins and rode his horse out. Crotch mount "Sigh - yo-yo!" With a roar, his front hooves stood up high, almost throwing the Yuwen Prison Army, who had fallen into a state of madness, to the ground.

"Calm down, go up like this, there is no defeat or victory." Li Xu didn't know when he had rushed to Yuwenshi and his side, and pulled the reins of the other party's horse hard. "There are too many rebels, and it won't make any difference to rush up directly! If you look at the right guards, they have no fewer soldiers than us. "He's stupid and can't say much. The concerned expression on his face and the strength on his arm had already made the madman sober up in an instant.

The Right Marquis had already collapsed, and the Right Imperial Guard tried to stop the Right Marquis and the rebels, but they were also rushed by the rout. ♀ At this moment, the Xiongwu battalion rushed forward, which was tantamount to repeating the tragedy of the right guard. They only had less than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and they absolutely could not stop the more than 60,000 rout soldiers who fell into a state of panic and followed the rout and shouted to kill the 40,000 rebels. Yuwen Shi knew that Xuzi was right, and finally understood that everyone did not mean to take revenge on the Yuwen family. But how? The handsome banner of the right imperial guard has begun to waver, if the Xiongwu battalion does not come forward again, the officers and soldiers will always have a chance to save the defeat!

"You take the foot soldiers, slowly push to the right side of the guard, and use the bow and crossbow to protect the Chinese army!" Li Xu pointed at the junction between the right imperial guard and the Chinese army with a black knife, and ordered in an unquestioning tone. "Lined up in an oblique formation, and ordered the rout to go around with a horn. Whether it's a rebel or a rebel, as soon as you get close, shoot immediately! ”

"Hmm!" The confused Yuwen Shi and nodded, like a puppet at the mercy of others. This is an unmethoded approach, and it may yield some results. But the premise is that the rebels are no longer in such a hurry behind the army. Otherwise, the desperate rebels will treat the Xiongwu Battalion as another right guard, unceremoniously facing each other with their swords.

"Xiao Cavalry, out of the ranks!" Li Xu settled down with Yu Wenshiji, turned around, and shouted at his brothers. Yuwenshu can put all the credit for those past achievements on his son's head. But today, no one will be able to erase the facts that happened in front of hundreds of thousands of robes.

Murong Luo and Li Mengwei each stepped out of their own camp with more than 2,000 cavalry. This was the last cavalry to arrive at Liyang and was not scattered and integrated into other regiments. After the verification of the two battles in Liyang, Li Xu and Yu Wenshi were optimistic about the attack power of the pure cavalry team, so they kept these cavalry and organized them into a single whole. And according to the tradition of dividing the army within the Great Sui Army, it was named the Xiao Cavalry Army. (Note 1)

"Unload the harness!" Before Yuwen could figure out what Asahiko was trying to do, he heard a ridiculous and bold order.

The Great Sui cavalry was heavily protected, and the forelimbs of the horses were usually covered with horse armor. The Xiongwu battalion is not an irregular government soldier, so the horse armor is not uniformly equipped. Some of the war horses were tightly wrapped, but some of the war horses were not covered by anything.

At the moment of the war, Li Xu didn't want to strengthen the protection of the war horses, but ordered the soldiers under his command to unload all the war horses. What the hell does he want to do?

The soldiers froze for a moment, unable to comprehend this absurd order. But out of trust in the commander, they jumped off their horses, quickly cut the rope that bound the horse armor, and threw the heavy horse armor to the ground.

"Get on your horse, raise your sword, and cut down everyone who stands in your way!" Li Xu held the black knife high and inspected the battlefield for the last time. The banner of the right guard has fallen, and a large number of routs are pouring towards the central army and the rear guard. The enemy's advance was fast, almost non-stop. And where the Chinese army on his side was located, a string of red battle flags was raised. It was an order to urge the battle, Yuwen Shu Lao'er couldn't wait any longer, the success or failure of the Xiongwu battalion's attack this time was related to the life and death of the whole army.

To deal with the current situation, the only way to deal with it is to be fast against fast. "Kill!" The scimitar in Li Xu's hand slammed down, urging the mount and rushing towards the chaotic army at a gallop.

"Kill!" Murong Luo and Li Mengwei urged the war horse, and formed the blade of a sharp knife with Li Xu. Five thousand cavalry roared, and in an instant, an indestructible steel knife was formed behind Xu.

The horse, which was not dragged down by armor, ran extremely quickly, and after a few breaths, it had already rushed in front of the rebels. The rebels who were fleeing for their lives suddenly heard the rumbling wind and thunder, and were so frightened that they forgot to dodge. Without hesitation, the horse's hooves stepped over them, blood splattered and screams incessantly.

"Get out of the way, take a detour!" The cavalry of the Xiongwu battalion shouted and cursed, and the speed did not decrease in the slightest. The rout, who was not trampled by the war horse, was stunned, opened his mouth wide, and couldn't cry sound. Suddenly, someone shouted in despair, raised his knife and stabbed at the galloping war horse beside him. The weapon struck a bolt of lightning in the air, but when it fell, it was gone. The man raised his knife again, but received a heavy blow to the shoulder, and another horse that rushed at high speed collided with him, knocking him directly into the air.

"Bang!" "Bang!" The dull sound of crashing was endless. Panicked, he couldn't remember that the routs who lined up to block the war horses were knocked into the air one after another, smashing gaps in the crowd. The slower routers realized that there was a dead end ahead, and they did not have the courage to stop the horses, screamed and fled in all directions.

The speed of the horses became faster and faster, and the routs fled more and more quickly. The battlefield in front of him gradually emptied, and through the rolling dust, Xu Zi saw the handsome flag held high by General Li Zixiong.

"Don't stop until you fall!" He wielded the black knife and proudly announced.

"Don't stop until you fall!" The heroes proudly issued their own declarations, followed behind the main general, and stabbed directly at the rebels' main formation.

Note 1: The Great Sui military system, the regiment and above are directly the army. However, when fighting, the army can be divided into front, rear, left, center, and right parts, so there is a saying that the army is divided within the army.
