Turbulent Times Chapter 1271: The battle between the king and the king

Wang Junlin led the Far Eastern Army to capture nearly ten cities and nearly two counties all the way, and reversed the precarious situation in the center of the Sui Dynasty after Yang Su's rebellion. The news was deliberately arranged by Wang Junlin. After the rapid spread, some people were delighted, some were sad, some were depressed, and some secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

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. Wang Junlin's efforts to turn the tide, otherwise his world may really be overturned this time.

At the northern border, the Turkic army heard that Yang Su, who had agreed with them, was suppressed by the Sui court so quickly. After robbing some property, they retreated directly. , domestic turmoil has been established, but some of the power of the great power of the Celestial Dynasty still remains, and since the Eastern Turks were hit twice in the northwest by Wang Junlin in the past few years, and in addition to the constant natural and man-made disasters in these years, the national strength and military strength are equally far away. not recovered to its peak.

Of course, the only king with a different surname in the Sui Dynasty, the famous invincible poisonous general, and the miracle creator Wang Junlin once again stepped on Yang Su, the former number one general of the Sui Dynasty, and further became famous all over the world. For a time, his fierce and prestigious reputation was unparalleled, and the rogues and rebels all over the world became even more famous. They secretly regarded Wang Junlin as a natural enemy.

…

…

After Wang Junlin sent someone to report the victory to Yang Guang, and reported the Central Plains information to Fanyang County and An Nanguo respectively, he no longer cared about what Yang Guang, the Turkic people and the people of the world thought.

Ordering the army to rest at Hulao Pass for three days, on the one hand, it was to restore the physical and mental strength of the horses;

"Since defeating Li Mi in the first battle, these days have been really smooth, and Yang Su's ability is definitely more than that." In the temporary military conference hall in Hulao Pass, Wang Junlin looked at the huge sand table and said firmly.

"What does the lord mean to say that the enemy deliberately showed weakness when we fought all the way these days?" Yuchi Jingde asked with a look of surprise.

"That's right, our combat strength is one aspect, but the founding generals of the Sui Dynasty are all famous generals, and Yang Su is the only general who has never been defeated, and is recognized as the number one in the Sui Dynasty A famous general, the most important thing is that he has been the number one official in the Sui Dynasty for many years, so I don’t need to be afraid of him on the battlefield, but there are only a handful of people in the whole world who can match this old thief in terms of conspiracy methods, so we must guard against him.” Wang Junlin Scanning everyone, he found that except for Shen Guoer who was thoughtful, the other subordinates all looked puzzled or proud, so he explained in detail to avoid underestimating the enemy.

Wang Junlin's generals are all Yang Su's grandchildren. Although they have heard of Yang Su's reputation, they don't have much intuitive understanding of Yang Su. Rin, I thought that what the lord said might be true, these days their fight was indeed too smooth.

"Guo'er, is there any unusual news inside or outside Luoyang City?" Seeing that his words had attracted everyone's attention, Wang Junlin unified his thinking, and then turned to ask Shen Guo'er.

Shen Guoer had been prepared for a long time, and quickly stood up and reported: "My lord, Yang Su's offensive against Luoyang City outside Luoyang City has begun to slow down. Let's all go to the city to inspect."

Wang Junlin nodded, frowned and thought for a while, but he didn't find anything unusual. Whether it was Yang Su slowing down his attack, or Yang Hao regaining his spirit, it was a normal reaction.

"The order will go on. Tomorrow the army will go to Luoyang to wipe out Yang Su's rebels in one fell swoop. All troops must be vigilant. The Military Intelligence Office will send more spies to keep an eye on Yang Su's camp." Wang Junlin couldn't think of Yang Su's plan. What is the conspiracy, in the end, I can only tell everyone to be careful.

Everyone quickly got up and clasped their fists and said yes in awe. Wang Junlin added to Shen Guoer: "Send an order to Luoyang City, and the prince will also send more people to watch over it. In addition, send an order to the owner of the Spring and Autumn Valley and Zhang Tiangang in Luoyang City, so that They are prepared to deal with emergencies at any time."

Shen Guoer's eyes flashed, and she promised to take the order and leave immediately.

…

…

The next day, at dawn, Wang Junlin left 3,000 men to garrison Hulao Pass, and led the army to Luoyang at a leisurely pace.

When it was a hundred miles away from Luoyang City, the spies of the Military Intelligence Office found a large number of rebel scouts, and repelled a surprise attack by the rebels during the break.

It was still Wang Bodang who led five thousand elite soldiers to attack Wang Junlin's rear logistics team. How could Wang Junlin be unprepared? At that time, Wang Bodang realized that he could not take advantage of it, and 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 camp of Yang Su's army, Wang Junlin ordered to stop, found a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and set up camp, and did not rush to rebel. The army launched an attack, but put on a steady and steady posture.

When the camp was set up, many scouts were sent out, the soldiers had a good night's sleep, and after breakfast the next morning, Wang Junlin led more than 50,000 troops out of the camp. Nearly 20,000 cavalry and horses were on the left wing, with Guan Xiaotong's iron hammer battalion on the right wing, led the cavalry of Luo Shixin's whirlwind battalion as the central army, and Lu Han's Tieqiang battalion as the rear guard, came to the rebel camp to invite battle.

Yang Su did not show any weakness, and immediately set up the most commonly used field phalanx to meet the enemy, but except for about 40,000 soldiers standing in the middle and the front, most of the other tens of thousands of rebels had no armor , it looks like a rabble.

It's just that the morale of the rebel army today is actually higher than that of the rebel army led by Li Mi and Uncle Wang these days, and the military appearance is relatively neat. Thousands of colorful battle flags fluttered in the morning wind, and they seemed to have a decisive momentum. And those rogues armed with iron forks and wooden sticks on both sides of the rebel army can also stand tall in front of the enemy army several times their own, and there is no sign of flinching at all.

"Yang Su, this old thief really lives up to his reputation, he is a veteran who really knows how to use soldiers!" Wang Junlin heard Luo Shixin discussing in a low voice behind him. This sentence was very insightful, and Wang Junlin turned his head to look at Luo Shixin in relief. This kid has gradually transformed from a fierce general to a general after going through battles.

Facing an opponent like Yang Su, even though Yang Su suffered a lot from him all the time, Wang Junlin still didn't dare to relax a little bit, so he stared at the enemy formation opposite him very intently .

Of course, Wang Junlin was observing the enemy's battle formation to find the enemy's flaws. Today, he led the army to fight head-on in an upright manner. Force Yang Su to expose his possible conspiracy.

The low-pitched 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 feathered arrows dissipated, and the piercing sound of piercing the air disappeared. Almost at the same time, there were screams everywhere, and thousands of red flowers bloomed in the morning sun.

However, because of the gap in armor and shield defense capabilities, the screams on Wang Junlin's side were obviously much sparser than those of the rebels.

Wang Junlin was not moved at all, and the arrows that fell on him did not need his hands, and was firmly blocked by the guards around him with shields. Listening to the sound of the wind, the sound of shouts, the sound of war drums, and cries, all intertwined together, played the 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 that of theirs. A sudden wind or a rain can change the whole situation of the battle.

After the two sides shot at each other tentatively three times, the enemy and us were separated by two hundred and fifty steps, each stabilizing their positions. This is almost the limit distance that an ordinary step bow can reach. The feather arrow is already at the end of its strength. Even if one of the two sides has a super strong character capable of holding a four-stone bow, at such a long distance, he cannot guarantee to hit the target.

Of course, the long-range crossbows and trebuchets brought by Wang Junlin's army have an effective shooting range of this distance. There are not many, and the main consideration is to use it for siege. In this kind of field battle, there are too few long-range attack equipment to play a big role.

Next, the sound of war drums and curses from Yang Su's side resounded in the army formation, which was deafening.

Wang Junlin was not surprised by this. Improving the morale of troops through scolding is one of the commonly used methods on the battlefield in this era. .

And Yang Su is extremely proficient in this most basic routine, so naturally he will not let go of any opportunity.

It's just that Wang Junlin's Far East Army's discipline and usual management, especially the military training methods are different from other armies in this era after all, so they are always silent, watching the enemy's various abuses and not being moved.

Of course Yang Su would not tell him that the fighting his subordinates engaged in was an evil deed that would be despised by others. On the contrary, he had already convinced his direct lineage that he was righteous, so the rebels' abuse seemed very excited and high-spirited.

Among the noisy yelling and cursing, Wang Junlin heard phrases such as "helping the tyrant to abuse" and "serving the tiger".

Wang Junlin sneered and waved his hand. The drums around him that were different from this era began to ring, and as the curses on the other side continued to increase, the drums of the Far East Army became more and more intense. The sound shook the whole field, like an invisible knife point, and like a huge sledgehammer, ruthlessly crushing the enemy's curse.

Of course Yang Su would not go to the war in person. He would think that he has a plan in mind, but only Li Mi next to him noticed the very subtle tiredness and deep fear in the depths of Yang Su's eyes.
