Wang Junlin led the Far Eastern Army to capture nearly ten cities and captured nearly two counties, reversing the precarious situation in the Sui Central Center after Yang Su's rebellion. Under Wang Junlin's deliberate arrangement, the news spread quickly like wings.
Afterwards, some people were happy, some were sad, some were depressed, and some were secretly relieved.
Yang Guang, who was rushing back from Liaodong with most of the civil and military officials of the imperial court and hundreds of thousands of troops, was even more ecstatic. Although he was more afraid of Wang Junlin than before, he couldn't help but secretly thank Wang Junlin again.
Try to turn the tide, otherwise his empire may really be overturned this time.
At the northern border, the Turkic army heard that Yang Su had made an agreement with them and was suppressed by the Sui court so quickly. After grabbing some property, they retreated directly. After all, although the Sui Dynasty was now exhausted, the country was in chaos.
The power has been established, but some of the power of the great Celestial Kingdom still remains. However, since the Eastern Turks were severely damaged twice by Wang Junlin in the northwest in the past few years, coupled with the continuous natural and man-made disasters in these years, the national and military strength are also far from being restored to the state.
peak.
Of course, the only Wang with a different surname in the Sui Dynasty, the famous invincible poisonous general, and the miracle worker Wang Junlin once again stepped on Yang Su, the former number one general in the Sui Dynasty, and further became famous all over the world. For a time, his reputation and reputation were unparalleled, and bandits and rebels everywhere
The thief was even known for his bad temper, and secretly regarded Wang Junlin as a natural enemy.
…
…
After Wang Junlin sent people to report Yang Guang's victory and reported the Central Plains intelligence to Fanyang County and Annan State respectively, he no longer cared about what Yang Guang, the Turks and the people of the world thought.
He ordered the army to rest at Hulao Pass for three days. On the one hand, it was to restore the physical strength and spirit of the troops; but on the other hand, Wang Junlin was wary and felt that something was wrong.
"Ever since we defeated Li Mi in the first battle, things have gone very smoothly these days. Yang Suzhi's abilities will never stop there." In the temporary military conference hall in Hulao Pass, Wang Junlin looked at the huge sand table and said decisively.
"Your Majesty, you mean that the enemy is trying to show weakness when we fight all the way these days?" Yuchi Jingde asked with a surprised look on his face.
"Yes, our strong combat power is one thing, but all the founding generals of the Sui Dynasty can be called famous generals, and Yang Su is the only general who has never suffered a defeat, and is recognized as the first general of the Sui Dynasty.
The main thing is that he has been the most powerful official of the Sui Dynasty for many years. I am not afraid of him on the battlefield, but if there are only a handful of conspiracy methods in the world that can match this old thief, I must be on guard." Wang Junlin glanced at him.
Everyone found that except Shen Guoer who was thoughtful, all the other subordinates and generals looked puzzled or arrogant, so they explained in detail to avoid underestimating the enemy.
The generals under Wang Junlin are all the grandsons of Yang Su. Although they have heard a little about Yang Su's reputation, they don't have much intuitive understanding of Yang Su. When they heard this, they suddenly looked stern and felt heartbroken.
I think what the prince said is probably true. Their fights are indeed going too smoothly these days.
"Guo'er, is there any unusual news inside and outside Luoyang City?" Wang Junlin saw that his words had attracted everyone's attention, and after he unified his thoughts, he turned to ask Shen Guo'er.
Shen Guoer was well prepared and quickly stood up to report: "Your Majesty, Yang Su's offensive against Luoyang City outside Luoyang City has begun to slow down. The prince in the city heard that the prince has brought people to help, so he no longer drank to relieve his sorrows, and went to the city every day.
Head patrol."
Wang Junlin nodded, frowned and thought for a moment, but found nothing unusual. Whether it was Yang Su slowing down his attack or Yang Jian regaining his energy, it was a normal reaction.
"Second order, the army will go to Luoyang tomorrow to eliminate Yang Su's rebels in one fell swoop. All armies must be more vigilant. The Military Intelligence Bureau will send more spies to keep an eye on Yang Su's camp at all times." Wang Junlin could not figure out what Yang Su's conspiracy was. , in the end I could only tell everyone to be careful.
Everyone stood up quickly, clasped their fists and said yes in a solemn voice. Wang Junlin added to Shen Guoer: "Send an order to Luoyang City, and the prince will also send extra manpower to keep an eye on it. In addition, send an order to Chunqiu Valley Master and Zhang Tiangang in Luoyang City, and ask them to do a good job. Be prepared to deal with emergencies at any time.”
Shen Guoer's eyes flashed, she agreed and quickly took the order and left.
…
…
The next day, when it was dark in the morning, Wang Junlin left 3,000 men to garrison Hulao Pass and led the army towards Luoyang at an unhurried pace.
When they were still a hundred miles away from Luoyang City, spies from the Military Intelligence Agency discovered a large number of rebel scouts, and even repelled a sneak attack by the rebels during a break.
It was still Wang Bodang who led five thousand elites to attack Wang Junlin's rear baggage team. How could Wang Junlin not take precautions? Luo Shixin led his men to dress up as ordinary baggage guards and fought with the elite troops led by Wang Bodang for half an hour. Bodang realized that he could not gain much advantage. Before the reinforcements led by Yuchi Jingde arrived, he left hundreds of corpses and retreated hastily.
It took a day and a half to arrive near Luoyang City, ten miles away from the main camp of Yang Su's army. Wang Junlin ordered to stop and found a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack to set up camp. He did not rush to attack the rebels. , but put on a steady and steady posture.
After the camp was set up, many scouts were sent out, and the soldiers had a good sleep. After breakfast the next morning, Wang Junlin led more than 50,000 troops out of the camp. Yuchi Jingde's Tiger Camp had nearly 20,000 troops. The cavalry and horses formed the left wing, and Guan Xiaotong's Iron Hammer Battalion troops and horses formed the right wing. He led the cavalry of Luo Shixin's Tornado Battalion as the center force, and Lu Han's Iron Spear Battalion as the rear guard. They came outside the rebel camp to invite a fight.
Yang Su did not show any weakness and immediately set up the most commonly used field square formation to meet the enemy. However, except for the about 40,000 warriors standing in the middle and front, most of the other hundreds of thousands of rebels did not have armor. It seemed that It's just a mob.
It's just that the morale of the rebels today is actually higher than that of the rebels led by Li Mi and Wang Bo in the past few days, and their military appearance is relatively neat. Thousands of war flags of various colors are fluttering in the morning wind, and it looks like there is something. Such a decisive momentum. And the bandits on both sides of the rebel army, armed with iron forks and wooden clubs, were able to stand tall in front of an enemy army several times their size, without showing any signs of flinching.
"Yang Su, this old thief, is indeed well-deserved. He is a veteran who really knows how to use troops!" Wang Junlin heard Luo Shixin whispering behind him. This sentence was very insightful. Wang Junlin turned his head and glanced at Luo Shixin with pleasure. This boy followed the experience. In each battle, he has gradually transformed from a fierce general into a general.
Facing an opponent like Yang Su, Wang Junlin still didn't dare to relax even though Yang Su had suffered a lot at his hands, so he was staring at the enemy formation opposite with great concentration.
Of course, Wang Junlin was observing the enemy's battle formation to find the enemy's flaws. He led the army in a frontal battle today, not only because of his confidence in the combat power of his men, but also because he wanted to force Yang Su to do it in broad daylight.
Expose its possible conspiracy.
The low horn sounded, shrill and sad, and the arrows from both sides streaked across the clear sky, casting a thick shadow on the earth.
The next moment, the shadows formed by tens of thousands of feather arrows dispersed, and the harsh sound of piercing the air disappeared. Almost at the same time, screams broke out everywhere, and thousands of red flowers bloomed in the morning sun.
However, due to the gap in the defensive capabilities of armor and shields, the screams on Wang Junlin's side were obviously much sparser than those of the rebels.
Wang Junlin remained unmoved at all, and the arrows that landed on him did not require him to do anything. They were firmly blocked by the guards around him with shields. He listened to the sound of wind, shouts, drums, and cries intertwined together.
, played that tragic carol. Wang Junlin remained expressionless. He knew that this was just the beginning, and the real climax was yet to come.
Although they have an advantage in terms of combat power and excellent weapons and armor, the opponent's number of troops is still three times theirs, and the commander's slight negligence on the battlefield, a general's carelessness, and even a sudden attack
Wind or rain may change the entire situation of the battle.
After the two sides tried to shoot at each other three times, the enemy and we stabilized their positions 250 steps apart. This is almost the limit distance that ordinary walking bows can reach. By this point, the arrow has already reached the end of its powerful crossbow. Even if there is someone on both sides.
A super powerful character who can draw a four-stone bow cannot guarantee that he will hit the target even from such a long distance.
Of course, the effective shooting range of the long-range crossbows and trebuchets brought by Wang Junlin's army reached this distance, but during this expedition, although there were naval warships to transport them, they mainly provided food and grass, and there were not many large-scale equipment.
The main consideration is to use it during siege. In this kind of field battle, there are too few long-range attack tools and they will not be of much use.
Next, the sound of war drums and curses from Yang Su's side sounded in the military formation, deafening.
Wang Junlin was not surprised by this. Improving the morale of the troops through scolding was originally one of the commonly used methods on the battlefield in this era, and it has long been proven that it is effective in improving one's own morale and confidence in attacking the enemy.
And Yang Su is extremely proficient in this most basic routine, so naturally he will not miss any opportunity.
It's just that the discipline and normal management of the Far Eastern Army under Wang Junlin, especially the military training methods, are different from other armies of this era, so they are always silent, watching coldly and unmoved by the various abuses of the enemy on the opposite side.
Of course, Yang Su would not tell his men that the fighting they were engaged in was a despised evil act. On the contrary, he had already convinced his direct followers that he was righteous, so the rebels' abuses seemed very exciting and high-spirited.
Amidst the noisy yelling and cursing, Wang Junlin heard phrases such as "helping the tyrant to do harm" and "acting as a villain for the tiger".
Wang Junlin sneered and waved his hand. The ten war drums around him that were different from this era began to sound. As the curses from the opposite side continued to increase, the drums of the Far East Army became more and more passionate, and the sound shook the whole country.
, like an invisible tip of a knife, and like a huge sledgehammer, smashing the enemy's curses into pieces.
Of course, Yang Su would not go to the war in person. Under the commander's flag, he led his core staff to sit astride the war horse and stared at the Far East Army led by Wang Junlin with a calm look. Everyone around him would only think that he was
He was confident, but only Li Mi next to him noticed the very vague tiredness and deep fear deep in Yang Su's eyes.
