Two days later, Yang Jian led the order to attack Nanchen, and led 100,000 troops to Suizhou to make pre-war preparations. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the day of departure, I saw that the sky was cloudless, the flag covered the sky, the horn sounded, and Emperor Wu Yuwen Yong personally worshiped the ancestors in front of the imperial city, praying for the victory of the three armies.

Just because Xiao Yichen did not worship his official position, he had to watch from afar.

He saw from a distance that Emperor Nawu was in his early thirties, heroic and extraordinary, and it was indeed a rare emperor's asset, and he couldn't help nodding secretly in his heart.

Emperor Wu muttered prayers on the high platform, and all the civil ministers and generals bowed respectfully and bowed their heads.

Xiao Yichen looked around at this time, and suddenly saw Yang Lin, Han Baohu, He Ruobi and others in front of him kneeling beside Yang Jian, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but feel childlike, and gathered his energy to greet Yang Lin and them, and joked.

But seeing Yang Lin and Han Baohu looking at each other, the expression on his face was shocked, but He Ruobi's body trembled, his face was like drinking wine with a layer of red light, seeing that he was about to laugh, Yang Jian on the side couldn't help but glance at him like cold electricity, he was suddenly frightened, and he retracted his appearance.

Xiao Yichen realized that he was messing around, and he was shocked, Lao He's laughter was not a small life, and he hurriedly stopped "making work".

After waiting for a while, Emperor Wu's long "lecture" was finished, Yang Jian stepped forward to accept the talisman, and said: "My emperor is blessed with Qitian, this battle will be won!"

That Yuwen Yong laughed loudly in the sky, suddenly restrained his smile, patted Yang Jian's shoulder and said, "Okay! Presumably Yang Aiqing will not disappoint Lone!"

Yang Jian had cold sweat on his forehead, and he hurriedly knelt down and said respectfully: "The minister will live up to my emperor's high expectations!"

"Yes, go ahead!"

So Yang Jian led the army out of the south gate, Xiao Yichen got up to catch up, Yang Lin and the others were shocked when they saw him: "It's really you, Brother Xiao has been good lately!"

Xiao Yichen snorted and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say..."

He Ruobi, who was riding a yellow horse on the side, suddenly hugged Xiao Yichen from behind and said, "Okay, Brother Xiao just met you and gave me a big gift, you have to treat me to a good drink later!"

It turned out that he was talking about Xiao Yichen, who almost made him laugh and lose his head.

At this time, Yang Jian, who was walking in front, turned his head, glanced at He Ruobi coldly and said: "It is forbidden to drink alcohol in the old He army, have you forgotten that I have not been by your side in the past few months, besides, it is still not out of the imperial capital, it is better for you to be more restrained in your speech!"

He Ruobi was embarrassed, scratched his hair and said, "Yes, big brother, I was overjoyed when I saw Brother Xiao for a while, not as an example, not as an example...."

When Yang Jian saw him say this, his expression couldn't help but ease, and then he immediately laughed and said, "Yes, Brother Xiao is willing to help me this time, why worry about the big thing! Ride!" After he finished speaking, he actually rode away first, and the army behind him also hurriedly followed, looking from a distance, the smoke and dust were really like a rolling dragon.

Ten days later, the army arrived in Suizhou as scheduled to repair, recuperate and prepare to go straight to Xiakou to kill Nan Chen, who was caught off guard.

This Suizhou used to be Yang Jian's fiefdom, and Yang Jian's coming here can be said to be like a fish in water, and it is estimated that Yuwen Yong sent him here to take this into account.

In the evening, the troops marched in a hurry, and arrived near Xiakou in just four hours from the beginning of the unitary hour to the end of the sub-hour.

Yang Jian ordered the troops to stop and rest, and an hour later, he saw the troops quietly moving forward, at this time, the defenders of Nanchen in Xiakou were sleeping soundly, and suddenly heard the sound of killing like thunder, and they were busy dressing the whole team, but it was too late!

At this time, I saw that the fire on the river was soaring, and many ships in Nanchen were ignited, and the soldiers of Nanchen were on fire, and they howled out of the boat and threw themselves into the water, but as soon as they showed their heads, they were stabbed to death by the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who had been waiting for a long time.

Although Xiao Yichen was accustomed to seeing vendettas in the rivers and lakes, such a tragic picture in front of him made his heart shake, and at this moment, he suddenly heard Yang Jian shouting, "Virtuous brother, get out of the way!"

Xiao Yichen was startled when he heard the sound, looked up and saw a large rain of arrows falling from the sky, he couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart, the Xingchen sword was caught in his hand, the long sword trembled and transformed into thousands of sword qi, cutting off the rushing arrows, and then his body moved, and he came to Yang Jian's side, and the long sword waved to block a large area of arrow rain for him.

It turned out that the defenders of the Chen Dynasty in Xiakou finally reacted at this time, knowing that if they waited for the Northern Zhou army and horses to cross the Yangtze River, everything would be over, and hurriedly transferred troops from the city not far from the river, and the eight thousand elite soldiers were instantly assembled, lined up on the riverside, the bowstrings sounded in bursts, and the arrows were dense like rain, and the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were shot to death a lot, and some of the ship's helmsmen stopped moving forward after being shot dead, and the other soldiers hurriedly made up for it and continued to brave the rain of arrows.

At this time, it was less than eight feet away from the shore, and Yang Jian shouted "Get up!" when he saw this, he shouted, "Get up!"

I saw that two three-zhang high "barriers" were instantly raised next to the boss's boat, and then other ships also raised a "barrier", so that two ships and one ship rushed forward in formation.

Xiao Yichen fixed his eyes and saw that those barriers were originally made of willow branches, filled with cotton, straw and other things, but behind the barrier, there were 100 people hugging a wooden pillar with a bowl mouth thickness of ten zhang and a length of 10 zhang, and the wooden pillar was carrying the "barrier" Rao was against the wooden pillar on the boat, and the 100 people were also tired and sweating.

After the fierce rain of arrows hit this barrier, it couldn't help but bounce and fall into the water.

It turned out that a layer of tung oil was poured on it, which was unusually smooth, and some of the arrow feathers barely passed through the barrier but their strength was very weak, and they could not penetrate the armor worn by the Northern Zhou soldiers.

"Shoot me...."At this time, the Zhou soldiers began to counterattack, those Zhou soldiers who were hiding behind the barrier opened their bows and arrows, and shot away on their backs, puff Those Chen soldiers suddenly became chaotic, and some of them were shot into hedgehogs and nailed to the ground alive, but the follow-up troops of Chen Bing continued to come in reinforcements, and immediately filled the gap.

"Quick, change the rocket...."At this time, I suddenly heard that the soldiers of Nan Chen were shouting, and rows of rockets were fired, and the "barrier" was immediately ignited by the fire, crackling, and the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty couldn't help but shudder when they saw this.

"Knock knock...."Yang Jian personally beat the war drums, and then there were three bursts of drums like dense rain on the flanks, but Yang Lin, Han Baohu, and He Ruobi followed closely behind.

The drum beat was impassioned, and the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, who were originally flustered, heard that the spirit was all right, and they shouted "Kill, ...."

Fortunately, at this time, the ship was only a little more than a foot away from the shore, and at this time, the "barriers" that were on fire were about to lead to the ship.

Suddenly, a loud shout like an angry dragon rolled in, "The soldiers of the whole army listen to the order! Pick up the barrier and kill me!" This voice was made by Xiao Yichen, but it was Yang Jian's intention.

The voice fell, and suddenly saw that the barriers on both sides of the handsome ship in the middle flew straight to the Chen soldiers on the shore, and the fire on the barrier was full of fire at this time, and this sudden throw, as if the fire was coming, the Chen soldiers who were guarding the shore hurriedly retreated when they saw this, and the front line was suddenly missing two big openings, and at this time, the other Northern Zhou soldiers flew out of the "barrier" in front of the ship.

After this delay, the ships of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were less than a foot from the shore, and at this time a shout of killing came, and then the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty jumped off the ship to kill the enemy, and Chen Jun had to draw his sword to meet him.

But I saw that there were three tiger generals jumping off the one-zhang high boat directly, and they were going to kill Chen Jun head-on, who else could there be if it wasn't Yang Lin, Han Baohu, and He Ruobi.

Yang Lin's water and fire prison dragon stick attacked left and right, and conjured a circle of light and shadow in front of him, Han Baohu's purple luan broadsword opened wide and was fierce and powerful, He Ruobi's long-pole bronze mace smashed left and right, and none of the three of them were together, Chen Jun was defeated and retreated, and Xiao Yichen, who was guarding Yang Jian's side, couldn't help but nod secretly when he saw this.

Xiao Yichen suddenly said at this time: "By the way, where is Brother Gao Ying?"

Yang Jian winked at him and said, "Brother Gao Ying, but there are other tasks to do." ”

When Xiao Yichen heard this, he didn't ask any more questions, and escorted Yang Jian to rush off the boat and kill Chen Jun.

After a while, he suddenly saw a red firework suddenly rising in the city of Xiakou, and Yang Lin said happily when he saw this: "Let's go!

It turned out that Gao Ying led 3,000 elite soldiers to lie in wait outside Xiakou City early, and when he saw the defeat of Chen's soldiers, he all changed into Chen Dynasty armor, pretended to be defeated and retreated into the city together, and then suddenly launched an attack and opened the city gate.

Those Chen soldiers had already lost their fighting spirit, and it was even more difficult at this time, He Ruobi and others had already told them that at this time, the Xiakou City would be easily breached!

At the end of the year, the battle was over, Yang Jian ordered the casualties to be counted, and the general took the order to leave, and came to report after a short time, "General Qiyu, our army has sacrificed 800 brothers and more than 2,100 wounded!"

"What!" Yang Jian's face turned cold when he heard this, and then said, "What about the other party?"

"Our army captured more than 24,000 enemy soldiers, and more than 12,000 enemy corpses were found on the shore, and the dead and wounded in the water cannot be counted specifically!"

Yang Jian smiled on his face when he heard this, and said, "Well, you have worked hard to go down and rest!"

"Yes!" the general bowed back.

"Look, brother Xian, ?...." Yang Jian saw that Xiao Yichen on the side seemed to be distracted, and couldn't help but shout again in an accentuated tone, Xiao Yichen came back to his senses and said lightly: "What does the eldest brother command?"

Yang Jian couldn't help but sigh and said: "Brother Xian, I know that the first time you see such a tragic thing in the world, your heart will inevitably fluctuate, but this is the case on the battlefield, either you die or I die, you must have known this principle in the rivers and lakes, and it is not an exaggeration to compare this battlefield to a big rivers and lakes, for my brother, I hope you can face it head-on, okay?"

Xiao Yichen took a long breath and said, "The younger brother is provincial, so the eldest brother is worried." Even so, it was difficult for him to calm down for a while.

He said to Yang Jian, "I'll go for a walk" and walked towards the river alone, at this time, there was gradually a glimmer of light in the sky, Xiao Yichen looked at the river with the help of this light, and his heart was even more mixed for a while.
