Chapter Fifty-Nine: Confrontation, Defeat

The army went out to fight, the flag covered the sky, and the swords and halberds were like a forest. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yun Dingxing, who was dressed all over his body, rode on the horse, and the anxiety in his stomach was clearly on his face.

He looked at the army he led, although it was equipped with the best horses, armor and weapons of the day, but since he knew that he was going to go to the battlefield, everyone's faces, from the generals to the non-commissioned officers, were full of bitterness and panic like him. With such morale, as long as you encounter the rebels, it will definitely end up crushing.

However, it is no wonder that these soldiers are useless, the elite who can fight have been taken to the front line in Liaodong by Emperor Yang Guang, and those who have never been on the battlefield have seen blood are left. Moreover, this team of men and horses, which was originally subordinate to Yun Dingxing's right guard, adhered to the main general's purpose of only seeking a bright face to win the emperor's favor during ordinary training, and the most important thing was to organize the queue and shout slogans. Now that an order has driven them into battle, it is no wonder that they are all in fear.

Yun Dingxing regretted in his heart that he was too unscrupulous in his past military training, and at this moment he could only pin all his hopes on the young man who was running with him.

Chen Yi, who is still wearing the identity of the golden cicada, is now also dressed in military uniform, with Angel and Li Xiuning, who have changed into men's clothes and are also draped all over their bodies, and behind the horse, there are two giants, Kunlun Numoller and Yellow Turban Lux Xin Chou, who follow on foot. He sensed Yun Dingxing's uneasiness, turned his head and said with a smile: "Old general, don't worry, you already know Xiuning's strategy, we will definitely win this battle!"

Yun Dingxing smiled bitterly and lowered his voice: "Virtuous nephew, Xiuning's niece's strategy is ingenious, under normal circumstances, we are invincible. Just take a look at the waste wood under the old man, and I really can't help but worry that there will be some accidents at that time. ”

Chen Yi smiled: "Actually, this team is not as weak as the old general thought. Old general, you have selected all men who have grown up, and trained them to be neatly lined up and with loud slogans, which can be regarded as a ban on orders, and this is the prototype of a strong army. As long as they are allowed to see blood on the battlefield and practice courage and murderous spirit, this army will never be inferior to any elite soldier in the world. ”

The tension and uneasiness on Yun Dingxing's face eased a little: "This is the best, everything in this battle has Lao Xian's nephew." If you can win a big victory, the old man will never forget your great kindness!"

"Report!" was as he was marching, and a horse galloped in front of him.

Yun Dingxing's heart trembled, and he hurriedly ordered the army to stay temporarily.

Tanma came to Yunding Xingma, turned over and saluted: "The rebels have been found ahead, and the strength is about 3,000, which is less than 20 miles away. ”

Yun Dingxing was at a loss for a while, and cast an inquiring glance at Chen Yi.

Chen Yi said softly: "You can make the army line up on the spot and wait for work." ”

Yun Dingxing suddenly realized, and immediately gave an order according to his words.

I have to say that Yun Dingxing has really put some effort into the queue training on weekdays, although these soldiers heard that the rebels were coming, they were all uneasy, but after hearing the order, they were still familiar and quickly arranged into a strict glaive array.

If you don't look at their trembling legs like swings, this formation is quite imposing.

Chen Yi said again: "I also want to borrow the old general's 300 personal soldiers." ”

When the matter came to an end, Yun Dingxing had a bit of a straightforward temperament, and he summoned his own personal soldiers without delay, and ordered him to lead his three hundred personal soldiers, and from now on everything obeyed Chen Yi's command.

Chen Yi summoned Mole and ordered him and the three hundred soldiers to move to the rear of the army and act according to the plan set before.

Moller received the order and took the three hundred soldiers to leave the army and retreat to the rear.

This action naturally caused a commotion in the army, if it weren't for everyone to see that the main general Yun Dingxing was still in front of the battle, I was afraid that these eight thousand men and horses who were already panicked would collapse and disperse without a fight.

After a period of anxious and fearful waiting, the rebels finally arrived, wrapped in billowing smoke and dust, and lined up not far from the opposite side.

But judging from the appearance, the rebels are far inferior to the army of the imperial court. These rebels, who had just been converted from Ding Zhuangminfu to soldiers, had obviously not fully adapted to their new roles, and their formations were disorganized, and they were still crowded and noisy for a long time after the formation ended.

However, for a long time, the anger and hatred that filled his heart because of the exploitation and oppression of the Great Sui Dynasty, as well as the longing and yearning full of his mind because of the various bright futures promised by Yang Xuangan, made every rebel soldier have an extremely terrifying fighting spirit.

Everyone's high fighting spirit gathered together, the morale of this seemingly chaotic rebel army was high, and the monstrous battle spirit was almost condensed, and wave after wave seemed to endlessly impact the already fragile will of Yun Dingxing's eight thousand men.

Yang Xuanting, who was in the rebel army, looked at the courtiers on the opposite side, who were as earth-colored as the court, let out a disdainful cold snort in his nostrils, and did not even ask the identity of the enemy general, pointed the spear in his hand forward, shouted "Kill!" violently, and rushed over first.

The three thousand rebels shouted in unison, and the chaotic military formation burst out with a murderous aura, followed by Yang Xuanting's horse and killed Yun Dingxing's side.

Yun Dingxing in front of the battle seemed to be intimidated by the murderous aura of the enemy, his face changed color for a while, and he let out a cry, but he turned his horse's head and fled.

This move of the commander-in-chief completely shattered the will of the whole army, which was already on the verge of collapse, and no one met the enemy head-on, and everyone turned around in unison, scrambling to flee in embarrassment.

When they fled, some Sui soldiers seemed to take something out of their arms and threw it on the ground as if to lighten their burdens. These were precious items such as gold and silver utensils, jewelry, silk brocades, etc., and it is not known why they brought them into battle.

Although Yang Xuanting saw the belongings on the ground, he was from a family, so he naturally didn't take these things seriously, and directly galloped past and continued to pursue the fleeing enemy army. After rushing out of a few dozen steps, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when he immediately turned his head to look back, he was so angry that he burst into smoke.

It turned out that these rebels behind Yang Xuanting did not have his consciousness that money was like dung, and in the face of any property that could satisfy the family's food and clothing for several years, they almost had no ability to resist the temptation, and bent down to pick it up without thinking.

Some people pick up more quickly, and some people pick up less or simply empty-handed, so naturally there is a scramble, when scrambling, first a quarrel pushes, then fists and feet are added, and then it is a knife and gun.

The original fighting intent was transformed into greed, and the original murderous spirit was turned to the comrades-in-arms around him.

As for the fleeing enemy army, who still has the time to take care of him? No matter how deep his hatred for the Great Sui is, and no matter how much he yearns for Yang Xuangan's promises, it is not as real as the real money in his hand.
