The first thousand two hundred and seventy-six chapters of the confident prince of the Sui Dynasty
In Luoyang City, Prince Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty has been standing at the top of the city for the past few days, watching the battle between the Far Eastern Army and the rebels from a distance. During this period, Qu Tutong, the general in charge of Luoyang's defense, proposed many times to lead the defenders out of the city to fight with the Far Eastern Army.
He tried to attack the rebels, but was rejected by Yang Jian.
After learning that the rebels had suffered heavy losses at the hands of Wang Junlin and were retreating steadily, Yang Jian was jealous but also secretly happy. Everything was developing as he and Bai Lingyun had expected. He couldn't wait to watch Yang Su kneeling on the ground.
It was a scene of surrendering to myself at my own feet.
Tonight, the Far Eastern Army launched a large-scale night attack on the rebels. After Yang Jian received the news, he got up excitedly at dawn and came to the city wall in person to watch the fighting outside the city from a distance.
"Your Highness, I would like to ask you to lead 10,000 elite soldiers out of the city to cooperate with the Far Eastern Army to annihilate the rebels." Qu Tutong saw the situation outside the city clearly and ran over to ask for instructions with a face full of excitement and excitement.
Yang Jian glanced at him impatiently and said: "General Qu, King Qin An is so capable. He can deal with the rebels. General Qu can safely defend the city."
Qu Tutong's face suddenly turned red with anger. He suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and argued: "But Your Highness, the situation in front of you..."
"General Qu, how dare you disobey me." Before Qu Tutong could finish speaking, Yang Jian looked at Qu Tutong with a sinister expression and interrupted him rudely.
Qu Tutong felt a chill in his heart, cursed secretly, lowered his head and clasped his fists, saying, "I don't dare."
"Back off!" Yang Jian was greatly satisfied when he saw that a general like Qu Tutong was obedient in the face of his power. He became more and more convinced that Yang Su would surrender to him when Wang Junlin forced him to a corner.
…
…
"Charge!" Luo Shixin finally led his men to kill all the two thousand dead soldiers, and then he was about to lead his men to the center of the rebel camp. However, he had not charged very far when he saw a group of cavalry charging towards them.
"Kill!" Luo Shixin roared with a murderous look on his face and slashed hard with his sword. He took the lead and rushed out. More than 4,000 cavalrymen quickly followed behind, and a black torrent was released.
At this time, the camp of more than 80,000 rogues on the left wing of the rebel army was in complete chaos, and almost no longer existed. In the darkness, the rogues had already begun to flee, trample, even roar, and began to kill each other.
Wang Junlin had already met the soldiers sent by Luo Shixin. After learning that all the elite soldiers of General Yang Su had gathered at the center of the central army, he felt something was wrong and decisively asked Guan Xiaotong to lead 20,000 infantrymen on a rapid march to the right wing of the rebel camp.
It is the direction to Luoyang City.
When the sky turned white, the drizzle stopped, and the vision of the people on the battlefield gradually became clear. Yang Su saw that two thousand Youzhou cavalry intercepted Luo Shixin, while Yuchi Jingde on the left with the Tiger Battalion was about to kill Liu Kou Da
Battalion, rushed to the front of the Chinese army, and decisively began to lead more than 50,000 elite troops towards the direction of Luoyang City to make a rout.
Yang Su took the lead personally, and Li Zixiong led more than 10,000 Youzhou Iron Cavalry to rush out in front, while Guan Xiaotong happened to lead the Hammer Battalion to a hundred steps away from Li Zixiong.
The two armies almost collided head-on. Guan Xiaotong gave an order, and the three rows of five thousand fast crossbows behind them made a buzzing sound, and rainy arrows were fired out, while the twenty thousand infantry, under the cover of the crossbows, plunged in
Entering the Youzhou cavalry brigade, they were immediately overwhelmed by the cavalry.
"Form a circle, defend and defend!" Guan Xiaotong didn't expect to hit him head-on, waving his thick-backed sword, rushing left and right, constantly adjusting his deployment in the chaos, so that his 20,000 infantry lined up in a circle
In the formation, four rows of spearmen on the outside came one after another, constantly stabbing the rebels off their horses, while the three rows inside were holding fast crossbows and firing freely.
During this process, the infantry of the Hammer Battalion on the outside were constantly knocked away or knocked down by the cavalry that rushed over. At this time, the quick crossbowmen in the three circles would immediately drop their quick crossbows and hold them.
The spear fills the gap.
"Hold, hold! Stab, stab!" Guan Xiaotong led a thousand soldiers in the circular formation. Seeing the danger there, he mobilized a thousand soldiers to support and rushed over to stab the defense line. The soldiers were in a panic.
During the battle, the 20,000 infantrymen, after paying the price of more than 1,000 casualties, gradually stabilized their formation and acted as the mainstay in the torrent of cavalry, firmly holding the line of defense.
After a delay here, Yuchi Jingde finally led more than 10,000 tiger battalion cavalry to kill the rebel camp and chased them. Originally, Yang Su's elite still had more than 50,000 people, but they were cut off by Guan Xiaotong and attracted 20,000.
At this time, the number of troops was only about 10,000 more than Yuchi Jingde's. However, with the advantages of the Far Eastern Army's steel armor, face protection helmets, steel guns, fast crossbows, and more advanced tactics and tactics,
He hurriedly ran toward Luoyang City, but instead of gaining the upper hand, he gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.
Wang Junlin personally led a thousand soldiers to bypass the left wing and join the attack on Yang Suwei's army, while the remaining Lu Han led the Iron Spear Battalion to still violently attack the left wing bandits who were still in chaos in the rebel camp.
On the other side, Luo Shixin was about to kill two thousand Youzhou cavalry.
Yang Su sadly discovered that he was pretending to be defeated, but now he was about to be defeated. He had an advantage in overall military strength, but in every fighting direction during the battle, he was always at an inexplicable disadvantage, especially in
Guan Xiaotong's 20,000 infantrymen were like a nail drilled into his stomach, making him extremely uncomfortable, but unable to remove it. Although he saw that the opponent's circular formation was being compressed step by step and became smaller and smaller, but
The smaller he is, the greater his resilience will be, and the greater the price he will have to pay to further compress inward. Even if he eliminates the opponent's 20,000 infantry, he will definitely suffer heavy casualties. By then, he will probably be completely wiped out.
How can there be any result of stealing Luoyang City?
Yang Su's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and sent an order to Li Mi and Wang Bodang: "You two will leave one person behind and lead six thousand people who dare to die. The others will continue to retreat towards Luoyang City, retreat..."
The expressions of Li Mi and Wang Bodang changed slightly. They looked at each other. Li Mi looked away without saying a word. Wang Bodang sighed secretly. Under Yang Su's sinister eyes, he gritted his teeth and clasped his fists and accepted the order: "General, I will obey.
"
…
The main force of the rebels began to desperately retreat towards Luoyang City. In a hurry, Guan Xiaotong, who had only had time to set up a circular formation that had been crushed, finally took a breath. The horse under his crotch had been shot to death by the opponent. Twenty thousand of them had just been killed.
Under the frenzied attack of the rebel elite, more than 1,500 people were left. Looking at the Youzhou cavalry retreating like a tide, Guan Xiaotong, leaning on his knife, panted heavily and ordered: "Pass the order, go down,
Form a formation of a hundred people and catch up, bypassing these damn dead soldiers."
Seeing Wang Bodang leading six thousand men who dared to die out of the rebels and entangling most of Yuchi Jingde and Guan Xiaotong's troops, Wang Junlin's heart skipped a beat. He glanced at Luoyang City from a distance and frowned.
, although he felt something was wrong, he just couldn't understand the purpose of Yang Su's move.
After all, although Yang Xian was stupid, he was not willing to secretly join forces with Yang Su to deal with him.
Seeing that Yang Su led his people to retreat, and the elites led by Li Zixiong and Li Mi seemed to be scattered, but in fact they were orderly in the chaos, the morale of the army was still there, and Wang Junlin knew that his own troops were already at a disadvantage, and it was impossible to completely block the rebels.
The retreat, not to mention blocking the rebels at this time, will inevitably force each rebel to fight to the death. Even if all these rebels are killed, their Far East Army will also suffer heavy losses. Such a result is not what he wants to see.
Yes, so Wang Junlin did not rush to order people to catch up.
He even immediately ordered Guan Xiaotong not to pursue too closely and let Yang Su lead the main force to escape. At the same time, he ordered Luo Shixin, who had just killed two thousand Youzhou cavalry, to lead the cavalry of the Tornado Battalion to catch up and cover them up, and try their best to kill them.
All the elite Yang Su troops who were left behind were killed.
After all the six thousand rebel soldiers led by Wang Bodang were killed and Wang Boguang was captured alive, Wang Junlin led Yuchi Jingde's Tiger Battalion to pursue him because he could not understand Yang Su's purpose.
, Wang Junlin ordered people not to pursue too closely.
Yang Su led the elite main force of more than 40,000 people and "robbered" towards Luoyang City in a very panic. The Far East Army followed and pursued them.
On top of Luoyang City, Yang Jian was trembling with excitement. He ordered Qu Tutong ecstatically: "General Qu, Yang Su led the rebels to defeat Luoyang City. You want to surrender to me! You
Be prepared and will follow me out of the city to accept your surrender later."
Qu Tutong was stunned for a moment, then said with a surprised look on his face: "Your Highness, what kind of person is Yang Su? He will never surrender."
Yang Jian's expression was stagnant, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Next to Yang Jian, a slim and beautiful chamberlain suddenly said: "Is General Qu saying that His Royal Highness is not as good as that old thief Yang Su?"
As a general, Qu Tutong had such a noble status. Seeing that a small chamberlain dared to teach him a lesson, Qu Tutong snorted coldly. He was about to say something when he suddenly realized that the chamberlain who was speaking was clearly dressed as a woman, and she was a stunning beauty.
He thought of the rumor that His Highness the Crown Prince was extremely fond of a woman named Bai and carried her with him wherever he went, and he swallowed his anger again.
Because he knew that Yang Jian was a narrow-minded person, and it would be bad if the prince had murderous intentions against him because he scolded this woman.
Seeing that Qu Tutong was left speechless by Bai Lingyun's question, Yang Jian sneered and said: "General Qu, I want to show you today whether Yang Su wants to surrender to me."
