Chapter 5 Return (Three times) Eighty thousand officers and soldiers armed to the teeth faced rebel bandits with half the number of them, but 20,000 farmers could not hold out as long as 20,000 farmers in front of an army of 200,000? Yu Wenshu could not believe this answer no matter what.
He quickly glanced at his right wing again, and found that the troops and horses on the right wing were still crumbling like ice melting. Almost everyone was running away, fleeing shamelessly in front of the rebels who were less than half his number and with inferior weapons, regardless of the reason.
, no excuse is needed. If these cowardly cowards are willing to look back, they will find that only a few people in the robe behind them died in the battle, and a few people were captured. The rebels did not cause much damage to their own people, and they were not willing to
Fighting with the defeated soldiers, they just stuck close to the officers and soldiers, following them like a shadow, chasing the officers and soldiers who had lost their courage and approaching Zhongjunping.
"Scrap!" Yu Wenshu cursed in a low voice. He turned around and looked straight ahead. He saw another group of rebels being "peeled off" by the officers and soldiers. Most of them were killed on the spot, but a few of them were killed on the spot.
He slowly got up from the pool of blood, supported his broken body with a broken wooden stick, and stood in front of his companions like a mountain.
The blood had dyed the cloth armor of those people completely red, but they didn't know the pain, and they refused to kneel down and beg for forgiveness. They just yelled loudly and blocked the swords and spears that were stabbing again without fear.
"I would rather die in Henan than go to Liaodong!"
"I would rather die in Henan than go to Liaodong!"
The shouts are more desperate than the last, and more exciting than the last.
"They are asking for death!" Yu Wenshu saw the intentions of those people from the movements of the rebels in front. Li Zixiong assigned 20,000 people as bait just to delay time! Use the time gained by 20,000 lives.
, as the general of You Wuhou, he disrupted the right wing of the army, and then struck across You Wuhou with lightning speed. Then, he used You Wuhou's chaotic troops to attack the You imperial guards, and then used You Yuhou's troops to attack the You imperial guards.
The rebel soldiers of the guard attacked the Chinese army. This move is called reverse rolling bead curtain in tactics. It was created by General Wang Yang Shuang. The key is to find the opponent's weak link and use a small breakthrough to expand the chaos to the entire opponent's army.
During the campaign, Yang Shuang used this move to defeat the Turks' 100,000 wolf cavalry with 20,000 Sui troops. The Turks were beaten for more than ten years and did not dare to knock the pass. However, the general Wang Yang Shuang led the strongest frontier army in the Sui Dynasty.
At that time, Li Zixiong used tens of thousands of poorly trained and poorly armored rebels!
Yu Wenshu felt that his throat was sweet and the sunlight in front of him was getting darker and darker. He could not forgive himself for his negligence. He had considered everything, even considering not giving the country boy a chance to make meritorious deeds again. The only thing he ignored was Li Zixiong.
His original identity and his prestige in Youwuhou. Now, the key to victory lies in speed. If the officers and soldiers can eat up the rebels directly in front of the team before the collapse of the right wing threatens the central army, the formation will still be intact.
Although they can be united, the rebels still cannot escape the fate of being surrounded. If the rebels are allowed to take the lead, the outcome of this battle may be unpredictable!
He quickly judged the situation and considered whether to send the rear guard to the right wing. Doing so would give that Zhuzi a chance to show his face again. From now on, it would be increasingly difficult for the Yuwen family to conquer him. Moreover, most of the soldiers in the Xiongwu Camp were new surrenderers.
, once they are overwhelmed by the rebels, there will be no more chess pieces in their hands.
Just when Yu Wenshu was hesitating, a group of Sui soldiers and horses rushed to the center of the battlefield. The general led by him was nine feet tall (Note 1), broad-shouldered and round in hand, with a horse spear in his hand like a dragon emerging from the water.
The rebels of the regiment opened a bloody wound
"He is my son!" A smile of relief appeared on the left side of Yuwen Shu's green and black face, while the right side of his face was still hanging like a stone, unable to express any emotion. He put away the elite troops he was looking forward to bringing with his eldest son Yu Wenhuaji.
If he can accomplish extraordinary feats, then even if he sacrifices more soldiers on the right wing and takes an extra risk, he doesn't have to fill in the last chess piece in his hand.
Several rebel bandits held their spears high, trying to fight Yu Wenhua and desperately. They had no courage but could not hurt Yu Wenhua and Fenhao.
A diagonal stab at the thick-mouthed Ma Cha brought up a gust of wind in mid-air, tearing apart the armor, ribs, heart, and back, and came out from behind the opponent. Then, he thrust his arm upwards hard, and Ma Cha
He bounced up and threw the lifeless corpse into the faces of the other two enemies.
"Ah!" The two enemies screamed and fell down at the same time. Yu Wenhuaji took up the war horses and trampled them into meat pies with the hoofs of the horses. The next moment, the Sui warriors beside him followed up, raising their swords and spears at the same time, widening the gap.
A few feet
"Brothers, come on!" Yu Wenhuaji shouted, his voice full of pride. Recently, the third brother has been so strong-minded that his position as the heir of the family is in jeopardy. This is not a good sign. Yu Wenhuaji urgently needs one.
Achievements in battle, firmly fixing one's position
The rebel formation quickly collapsed inward, and Yu Wenhuaji led his soldiers to charge in, as smoothly as a tiger entering a flock of sheep. However, the sheep also have the wisdom of the sheep. Soon, he found that his speed had slowed down, and his horse was tripped by the rope.
Stunned and unable to move forward any further, he pulled out his sword to cut the tripping horse rope, only to find that countless spears were stabbing him at the same time.
Yu Wenhuaji knew that he rushed too fast and was trapped deep in the enemy formation. He heard the thunderous sound of drums not far away, as if tens of thousands of brothers were trying to break into the surrounding enemy troops through the gap he created, but they sacrificed their lives.
He risked his life to block it and filled the gap at the cost of his life.
A spear stuck close to the ground penetrated into the belly of the war horse. The war horse purchased with a lot of money from the Western Regions let out a scream and fell heavily to the ground, crushing the attacker until his muscles were broken. Universe Culture and the war horse fell to the ground.
He instantly threw the stirrup off the saddle and used his long spear to deflect three wooden spears, but the fourth one found a flaw and pierced his shoulder armor fiercely.
"Cang!" The iron armor absorbed most of the force condensed on the wooden spear tip, and the spear tip sunk half an inch inwards and pierced into the flesh together with the shattered armor. The pain made Yu Wenhuaji break into a cold sweat and he waved with one hand.
He stabbed the two rebels over, then kicked the attacker's ribs into pieces. The huge damage caused the enemies around him to be stunned, but soon, more wooden sticks and bamboo sticks came over, and kitchen knives flew down in mid-air.
Several soldiers fought desperately to protect the general, trying to protect Yu Wenhua and fight back from afar to the surrounding rebels, but they refused to let go. They would rather die in battle than to keep Yu Wenhua as his back. Since going to Liaodong would also mean death.
, it is better to die in front of your own house. If you can catch someone in advance, the rebel bandits rushed towards everyone with a smile, and Yu Wenhua and the soldiers around him fell one by one under Yu Wenhua's arms.
There were fewer and fewer people coming, and slowly there were only two or three people left, panting, struggling with their spears, back to back.
More than a dozen rebels came forward together, forcing Yu Wenhuaji, who was holding a gun in one hand, to retreat continuously. The soldiers gave up their opponents and risked their lives to stand in front of him. Two of the rebels fell, and so did the soldiers.
The third person fell, and the fourth rebel fell. Yu Wenhuaji received a spear in the leg, and the last soldier was left beside him.
Several wooden spears came and stabbed, sending the last Yuwen family soldier to hell. Lu Yuwen Wenji was furious, waving his long spear with one hand and rushed forward. The mobs in front of him retreated to avoid his sharp attack.
The thugs behind him stabbed his back and thighs with wooden stakes.
Hearing the sound of wind coming from behind, Yu Wenhuaji suddenly turned around and swept away several wooden stakes with his long whip. He gasped tiredly and felt like a big bellows on fire, and his legs began to move disobediently.
Shivering, he might weaken at any time and fall down. He couldn't bear such a failure, and shouted for a showdown with the rebels on the opposite side. The rebels didn't know what fairness meant, so they picked up wooden sticks and bamboo sticks from the pool of blood.
, stones, helmets, were thrown over in disorder
"Cang!" A helmet hit Yu Wenhuaji's helmet. The huge metal impact made Yu Wenhuaji's ears roar. Venus danced in front of his eyes. He roared and turned around, trying to see clearly who was attacking him from behind, but there was no trace of him.
More "hidden weapons" flew in, making the armor all over his body "bang" and "bang".
"Ah - ah - ah!" Yu Wenhuaji knew that he was going to die. He died like a wild dog under the farmers' stones and wooden blocks. He raised his horse's horse high, looked up to the sky and roared, and the desolate cry went straight into the sky. Then, he
With his horse in hand, he quickly rushed towards the spear bush closest to him. "Come on, stab at this! You killed General Yuwen!" He cried, sobbing like the weakling he usually looked down on. Unexpectedly, he burst into tears.
Death came belatedly. The rebels in front of him fell down one after another. Then, he felt as if there were several needles on his back, piercing his flesh at the same time.
"Someone fired an arrow, damn it!" Yu Wenhuaji stopped and turned around angrily. He couldn't thank the other party for saving his life. This kind of indiscriminate shooting without distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy clearly meant to shoot him and the rebels together.
"You are wearing a piece of iron armor. You will only be shot, but not killed!" A man with dark skin and wearing a general's armor explained to him with a smile and then waved down the sword in his hand.
, command the infantry around you to shoot a new wave of arrows
Feather arrows kill the enemy much faster than infantry. The rebels, who were only protected by cloth armor and with few shields, instantly fell to hundreds of people. At the same time, they were too close to the rebels and had no time to withdraw.
Seventy or eighty soldiers of the Sui Dynasty were also shot to death. The blood from both sides pooled together and flowed through the dry land like a stream. I don’t know if it was the human soul or the breath of the earth. Wherever the blood flowed, several lines actually rose up.
Light smoke lingers and drifts away from the battlefield
"Come and protect me! You, you beast!" Yu Wenhuaji yelled and cursed loudly, wishing to split the opponent's neck with his hands to break the armor or save his life. The opponent had no intention of saving him. The last wave of feather arrows was the same as this one.
It's a diffusion that doesn't distinguish between friend and foe! If it weren't for the strong armor of the Yuwen family, my fate today would be the same as those of Pao Ze who were shot to death.
"If the matter is urgent, please obey the authority. Your Majesty will understand my approach!" Commander Lai Huer of the Navy stretched out his hand and pointed at the Chinese army, and then continued his massacre. Waves of arrows flew out from behind him, killing the rebels.
After shooting staggering for a while, the two generals Chen Leng and Zhou Fashang also adopted the same tactics, withdrawing most of the officers and soldiers who were in contact with the rebels, and sacrificing the few who were too late to withdraw, taking advantage of the enemy's lack of shields.
and armor flaw, to carry out the massacre to the end
"Better die in Henan than go to Liaodong!" The rebels still shouted loudly, constantly condensing their formation. They are like a group of ants in the water. At critical moments, they huddle together to protect their robes with their bodies, and at the same time they are protected by their own robes.
A torrent of arrows fell from the sky. In the face of death, they did not surrender or escape. They just relied on each other to buy the last bit of time for their companions in the distance.
Yu Wenhua couldn't stand it any longer. He used a horse to support his injured body. He looked up at the Chinese army. He saw several corner flags raised next to his father's handsome flag. According to the Sui military order, these flags expressed the importance of not sparing any effort.
Destroy the rebels at all costs, and advance to the right wing as quickly as possible.
"Does it really include sacrificing me?!" Yu Wenhuaji's body shook and he squatted softly on the ground. He didn't know if his father witnessed him going deep into the enemy's position just now. If the answer was yes, why did his father give the order to do it at all costs?
Doesn't he know that doing this is tantamount to personally sending his son to hell?
Why? Why? He heard his soul shouting but a voice sounded clearly from the depths of his soul, answering all the confusion in his heart.
"For the Yuwen family!" This is a calm answer. It does not come from his father, not from his grandfather, but from the souls of generations of Yuwen family. Ever since he can remember, Yu Wenji, the eldest son, has been taught that in order to preserve the interests of the family, the head of the family must
Can sacrifice everything
Today, the interests of the Yuwen family are that they must win this battle. A war involving 300,000 soldiers against 60,000 peasants. The head of the Yuwen family and the general of the army, Yuwen Shu, cannot afford to lose.
"What's wrong with the right wing? Do we still need to let Shiji and General Li go up?" After a moment, Yu Wenhuaji, who had figured out everything, raised his head and read the command flag of the Chinese Army again. He saw that his father had already issued an order for the Xiongwu Camp to fill the right wing.
He also heard shouts of killing from the battlefield on the right wing that were louder than before, but he couldn't believe that Li Zixiong's rebels could actually defeat the army's right wing defense line.
"Is the third brother going to make a meritorious service again?" Yu Wenhuaji silently wanted to drop the horse, reached to his back, and pulled out the arrows from the gaps in the armor one by one.
Note 1: Han ruler, one foot is about 23.1 centimeters today
Drunkard's note: Regarding the fact that the children of aristocratic families surrendered to the rebels one after another, it can be seen in the official history, Zizhi Tongjian has the most introduction, but there is no record of these people's families being implicated in similar crimes. If it were in the Tang Dynasty, the consequences would be much more serious.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty seemed to be very tolerant towards the real rebels, but was very cruel to those who were framed for not rebelling. So it is no wonder that everyone rebelled one after another.
