Chapter 413: Determination of the Universe

On the shore of Taihu Lake, the military flag was displayed in a queue, and the two teams faced each other violently.

The 150,000 elites of the Sui army, 30,000 cavalry and 120,000 infantry, with bright armor and sharp blades, high morale and fighting spirit.

The 50,000 troops of Chen's Thunder Tiger Department did not show weakness, and the military spirit was boiling and angry.

"Yang Su, do you dare to fight with Lei?"

Lei Hu slapped his horse and rushed out, showing off his might in front of the two armies, and the green dragon knife in his hand pointed to the direction of the commander of the Sui army, and shouted: "It's a master, just fight with Lei!" ”

The rolling sound was like a thunderbolt, overshadowing the sound of the rumbling drums, which clearly reached the ears of the 200,000 soldiers on both sides, causing a commotion.

Fighter!

During the Three Kingdoms period, it was more popular, but now it has long been outdated.

It has to be said that the strong are admired in the army, and although the fighting generals are outdated, they do have a great impact on the morale of the army at some times.

Like the Three Kingdoms period, the Sui Dynasty was the time of the ancient Chinese history, another period of fierce generals, all kinds of bullish fierce generals emerged in endlessly, and the next generation will not make a story of the Sui and Tang Romances, and it can be passed down for thousands of years.

Of course, Lei Hu's move must be suspected of bullying, not to mention that Yang Su's martial arts have just squeezed into the top ranks, that is, the number one master in the Sui army at the moment, Yuwen Valve's new generation of standard-bearers, Yuwen Injury, does not dare to easily take his head and kill himself at this time.

"Vertical Zi'an dares to deceive me!"

Under the command of the commander of the Sui army, Yang Su's face was so blue that he almost vomited blood, he didn't even want to respond to Lei Hu's invitation to fight, and he was not a martial artist full of muscles.

"Beat the drums, the whole army attack!"

This guy is worthy of being the marshal of the Sui army's marching camp, and when the morale of his sergeants has not been affected by the fighting generals, he directly swung the army and fought hard.

Lei Hu was not polite, wielding a knife to command his 50,000 troops to attack violently, not at all because of the disadvantage in numbers, 30,000 of the most elite men and horses as the main force, enough to make the Sui army suffer a big loss.

This battle lasted for most of the day before ending with the Sui army retreating on its own initiative.

Yang Su was obviously ruthless, and in this battle, he sent all the troops in his hands, without any reservations, and if he wanted to win with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, he must at least gain an advantage on the battlefield.

He did it!

The numerical advantage is the numerical superiority, and it will not be wiped out because Chen Jun's personal combat power is stronger.

It is stronger than the individual combat power of the Sui army, that is, the headquarters of Lei Hu is less than 30,000 horses, the essence of which is five hundred Mo swordsmen and five hundred heavy armored infantry, one of them is a strong man of more than 1.9 meters, and everyone has a huge strength of 1,000 catties in the cultivation of iron cloth shirts, and their combat power is quite strong.

As long as they did not encounter the impact of heavy cavalry and siege equipment, the clusters of Mo swordsmen and heavy infantry lined up in a neat battle queue could completely push the opponent on the battlefield.

This battle is no exception, Lei Hu personally took action to solve the martial arts masters in the Sui army, a green dragon knife is like a dragon going to sea without a single enemy, from time to time there is a flying knife attack like a meteor falling, the Sui army masters within a radius of a kilometer are inevitably killed in the end.

Without the help of a master, the combination of Mo Daoist and Heavy Armored Infantry was simply a battlefield killer, pushing all the way and breaking through several military formations of the Sui Army, and was almost killed by them from beginning to end.

The Chen army that followed up quickly expanded the results of the battle, and the Sui army almost collapsed after screaming in front of him.

That is, the elite of the Sui army, and the commanders at all levels are officers and generals with rich experience and outstanding ability, so that they can barely keep the vanguard formation from completely collapsing.

After that, relying on the numerical advantage, the frenzied assault momentum of the Chen army was stopped.

This battle was fought so that the sky was dark and the blood flowed like a river, and the fierce shouting and killing continued from morning to afternoon, and the terrifying ferocity frightened away the beasts, insects and snakes within a radius of dozens of miles, and the murderous spirit rolled and stirred the sky and clouds.

When Yang Su realized that the Sui army had suffered too heavy losses and its morale was gradually declining, he simply ordered the withdrawal of the army, not giving the Chen army the slightest opportunity.

Don't think he doesn't know, Lei Hu, a thief, secretly hides 20,000 Chen Jun, and he has never used it, obviously he wants to give Sui Jun a ruthless blow at a critical moment, so he won't give Chen Jun such a chance.

Then, after fighting for most of the day, the Sui army slowly withdrew from the battlefield under cover in turn, and quickly retreated to the advancing camp dozens of miles away.

But he didn't know that Lei Hu was also secretly relieved.

The 20,000 Chen troops hidden in the shadows are only miscellaneous troops who have fled recently, as well as young men who have been temporarily recruited from the common people, and they have just started training, and they have no combat power at all.

The reason why there is such a centaur is that in addition to scaring Sui Jun from daring to go all out, it is also to supplement Chen Jun's logistics baggage, but I didn't expect the intimidation effect to be really good, and the existence of Yang Su was overcome.

Of course, the losses of the Sui army were too heavy, which was also the main reason why Yang Su chose to retreat.

In this battle, the number of casualties of the Sui army exceeded 50,000, and the number of those who died directly in the battle was just over 10,000, but the number of those who were seriously injured and destined to be disabled or could not continue to serve as soldiers in the future was more than 10,000.

As a result, the main force of the Sui army was almost injured, and Yang Su immediately retreated.

Fortunately, he was resolute, otherwise with the ability of the Sui army to bear it, there might be a large-scale collapse.

At that time, the Sui army is likely to have a snowballing collapse, and the number of casualties and even prisoners will exceed the bottom line that Yang Su can bear.

Even the more than 20,000 lightly injured and wounded also need a large number of medicinal materials and a large number of doctors for treatment, which will also involve a lot of energy from the Sui army going south.

As long as they recover and leave no obvious deficiencies in their bodies, they will be the guarantee of the Sui army's combat strength when they return, and they may even become the backbone of the Sui army in the south!

After all, he has experienced the tempering of iron and blood, and he is not comparable to ordinary sergeants.

Of course, the force is mutual, the elite of the Sui army has suffered such serious losses, and the casualties on the Chen army's side are also more than 30,000!

Almost all of the 20,000 Chen troops forcibly reorganized by Lei Hu were lost, and even the main force of the headquarters also suffered nearly 10,000 casualties, which can be said to be heavy losses, and they have lost the ability to fight in a short time.

Fortunately, most of the main forces of the headquarters are only injured, and more than seventy percent of them can return to the barracks after recovering from treatment, and the other few disabled sergeants do not have to worry about the problem of the back road, Lei Hu has already thought of the follow-up placement for them.

This battle can be said to have severely damaged the morale of the Sui army in the south, and if they want to launch a major war of 100,000 people again, without the strong support of the north, they must prepare for at least more than a year.

There is a buffer of one year, and Lei Hu will be able to train tens of thousands of powerful generals again, and when the Sui army wants to completely destroy the Chen army of the Lei Hu Department, it is simply wishful thinking.

This is still the fact that the Thunder Tiger Department has been stationed in the Taihu Lake area, and the Sui military has the possibility of inflicting heavy damage or even completely annihilating the Chen Dynasty.

When it is really a last resort, no one dares to guarantee whether Lei Hu and the demon concubine Zhang Lihua will play mobile warfare, and when the Sui army wants to completely annihilate the Chen army of the Lei Hu Department, it is almost impossible.

There are many rivers in the southern region, and the water network is dense, and there are uninhabited primeval mountains and forests everywhere, if Chen Jun really can't bear to hide in the mountains and forests, but even if he comes to it, he will completely lose the possibility of ruling the south, and the Sui army will also fall into endless raids and harassment wars in the south.

At that time, the Sui Dynasty not only could not scavenge resources from the south, but even had to continuously transfer materials from the north to the south, which was definitely not what Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty was willing to see.

If such a situation really occurs, maybe the so-called 'Kaihuang Prosperous Era' will have to be greatly discounted, and the life span of the Sui Dynasty may be shorter than normal history.

This battle has created the living space of the Chen Dynasty's Thunder Tiger Department, and there is at least a one-year buffer period, depending on how Emperor Sui's side chooses, Thunder Tiger is not afraid of the so-called challenge at all.

To put it mildly, if Lei Hu himself did his best in this battle, the losses of the Sui army would definitely be nearly 10,000 more horses, and they might be directly defeated.

This time, he just commanded his men and horses to fight, and did not rely on his own terrifying combat power to commit abuse, of course, it was also a faint deterrent, and he also didn't want to stimulate the sensitive nerves of the Sui Dynasty's monarchs and ministers too much.

A top master like Song Que of the Heavenly Sword, the monarchs and ministers of the Sui Dynasty can still tolerate it, after all, the masters who can deal with Song Que, the monarchs and ministers of the Sui Dynasty can still gather, but the price that needs to be paid is a bit big, and the gains outweigh the losses.

But if Lei Hu showed a strong combat power comparable to that of a supreme grandmaster, the monarchs and ministers of the Sui Dynasty would definitely not be able to sit still, or it would be difficult for such an existence that could directly threaten their lives and continue to be free.

At that time, Lei Hu will face endless encirclement, suppression and assassination, and the monarchs and ministers of the Sui Dynasty will not want to live a stable life, which can be said to be a lose-lose situation.

Lei Hu's current role is just like the nuclear weapons in modern times, in such a large-scale war, deterrence is greater than reality, once he goes all out, the situation will completely turn to the uncontrollable direction and run away.

The current situation is very good!

In a big battle, the losses of the Sui army were enough to make the Sui Emperor feel distressed, and the Sui troops who lost these losses were all elites who had been in battle for a long time, and they were not comparable to ordinary local garrisons.

As long as the high-level of the Sui army, even the Sui Emperor Yang Jian, who was far away in Guanzhong, would feel distressed, maybe there would be a situation that Lei Hu and the rest of the Chen Dynasty wanted to see.

At this time, Lei Hu organized a small number of doctors to treat the wounded, while quietly waiting for the movement of the Sui Dynasty.

It's just that I didn't expect that the envoy who hadn't waited for the Sui Dynasty had waited for a wave of uninvited guests, who were Buddhist people who hadn't shown up for a long time.

Led by Fan Qinghui, the successor of Cihang Jingzhai, he directly asked for a dialogue with Lei Hu and the demon concubine Zhang Huali to discuss the future of Nan Chen.

"What a big breath!"

Lei Hu smiled: "Then meet them!" ”
