Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 77: Enemies meet
Like Cheng Yaojin who was in the quagmire, Li Yuan also started to have a headache at this time. Originally, he wanted to send a special army to take advantage of the emptiness behind the back of the Eighteenth Road Anti-King. Tang Guogong also sacrificed his capital and divided his troops into 30,000 troops, and the generals led the attack on the back of the anti-king.
I never imagined that the Seventeen Routes were all rushing ahead, leaving behind the military horse hall in Wagang Mountain. Since the opening of the Sui Dynasty, the Wagang Army of Zhai Rang and Cheng Yaojin has been fighting. Has a wealth of experience turning defeat into victory. Although the Taiyuan Army was caught off guard at first, under the command of Xu Maogong, the sworn uncle of Wagang Mountain, the rear team of the Wagang Army counterattacked and stuck with the Taiyuan Army.
In the chaotic army, the general of the Li family was killed by a stray arrow in the face. Fortunately, several lieutenants rushed to kill in the chaos of the army properly, and returned to Taiyuan City with most of the soldiers and horses. Although the Taiyuan Li family lost in this battle, their vitality was not damaged.
Shortly after the defeated army and horses withdrew, the reply letter from Yang Lin, the backer, was also sent to Taiyuan City. In the letter, Old Yang Lin did not doubt Tang Guogong's intentions at all. After giving a few compliments to Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, he also agreed on a time for the two armies to jointly attack the 18th road anti-king around noon that day. In the letter, Yang Guang's promise was specially added. For example, if the head of the Wagang Mountain bandit's first bite gold was captured during the expedition, Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang, would be crowned king, and the three sons in front of his knees would be crowned princes.
At this time, Tang Guogong had no way to retreat, and began to dispatch troops, leaving only 10,000 elite soldiers to protect the city, and the remaining 80,000-90,000 horses rushed out at noon. Even brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin put on their armors, and each led 10,000 horses to prepare to leave the city. It's a pity that after Xing Qi's death, there are no more good pioneers in Taiyuan City. Originally, the soldiers and horses were far inferior to the rebels, and if there were no good generals, Li Yuan had no confidence in his heart. I just hope that the backing king, Lao Yanglin, will not do anything, so that the reinforcements will be able to kill before his 100,000 horses are exhausted.
According to the original plan, after noon, the gate of Taiyuan opened wide, and tens of thousands of horses rushed out. Fighting with the Wagang Army outside the city, with the experience of being raided before, the Wagang Army is ready. It has already been divided into multiple groups, and now it is difficult to distinguish between the Taiyuan soldiers and horses.
Tang Guogong Li Yuan has recruited all the people of the city. If the 80,000-90,000 horses outside are all out, then the city will be protected by 10,000 defenders and civilians. Even all the men in his mansion were gathered on the tower to help carry the rolling wood and stone that was guarding the city.
Li Yuan stood on the tower and watched the battle, and the more he looked, the more uncertain he became. Seeing that his tens of thousands of horses and Wagang Army were fighting an intractable battle, but the opponent's troops were far superior to their own, I was afraid that there would be no one left on my side until the night. At the moment, Tang Guogong can only send urgent documents in a row, please come to the mountain king for reinforcement as soon as possible. The words written in the document are sincere, and it is stated that the Taiyuan Army will not last until the night. If the army arrives late, I am afraid that the bandit's first Cheng Yaojin has already captured the city and fled.
I don't know if these words played a role. After two or three hours, the rear of the Wagang Army was in chaos. The Seventeenth Route Anti-King, who was originally stuck with the First Army, retreated like a tide, and the Wagang Army was a little caught off guard. The Taiyuan army escaped and returned to the city. Li Yuan counted the number of people. In such a short time, the Taiyuan army had already suffered more than half of the casualties.
This time. Another man and horse rushed up in the distance. The nine sounding arrows indicated that the Sui Emperor Yang Guangyu had already arrived in front of the battle. At this time, Tang Guogong Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. At the moment, I ordered to stick to the city, and be careful of these eighteen rebels attacking the city and causing chaos.
At this time, all the rebel kings have gathered to the side of Cheng Yaojin, the demon king of chaos. Just now, when they saw that these seventeen men and horses were about to completely destroy the first army. The army led by Yang Lin arrived. The King of the Mountain, Luo Fang and his son personally rushed to the front, leading Han Chahu and other famous Sui army generals to defeat these anti-king kills. This is because the seventeen anti-kings escaped early, and if they were one step later, they might not be able to make up the seventeen anti-kings.
Watching these anti-kings call out to themselves one after another, and fool his Wagang Army into fighting Yang Lin. Cheng Yaojin was so angry that he didn't fight. Wasn't the first army who you went to explore just now quite fierce? Now that you've been beaten up, you know that you've come back to find the big Ding Lei? Who is that? Backer King Lao Yanglin! The Wagang Army and the King of the Mountain have fought against each other several times before, except for the first few times when they played tricks and took advantage of them. After Yang Lin got serious, the Wagang Army would be defeated again. Otherwise, Cheng Yaojin would not have contacted the seventeen anti-kings to destroy the Sui together. If it was easy to digest, the old Cheng and my Wagang army would have eaten alone, and they would have to fight with you group of people who have never seen the market. Lian?
Thinking like this, Cheng Yaojin didn't say that. Lao Cheng ordered his subordinate Wagang Army and the remaining seventeen anti-king subordinates to take a defensive posture, and then took the anti-kings to a mountain outside Taiyuan City. Looking condescendingly, there are not many troops led by Yang Lin. There are only 150,000 to 60,000 people, and most of the troops should be behind the Sui Emperor. Yang Lin relied on his art and daring to lead these men and horses to charge. Now, although the Eighteen-Road Anti-King was defeated, it did not hurt his bones and bones. No matter how, his own troops were several times more than Yang Lin's.
Seeing that there is still a bargain, Cheng Yaojin laughed, pointed to Yang Lin's army and said to the rebel kings around him: "Brothers and brothers. Did you see that old Yanglin's troops? So 50,000 or 60,000 people, if we add up, one person can kick all of them to death. Today, God opened his eyes and sent this old thing to the brothers and brothers. I know you are not convinced by me. This alliance leader, in this way, let's make an oath today, whoever can take Lao Yanglin's dog's head, he will not be the leader of the alliance, he will be the emperor directly! Don't look at all five of us now are emperors, by that time I have to make myself a king. I will make this person the king. How about it? Old Cheng, I am the first to swear that if I don’t make the person named after the backing king Yang Lin as the king, Cheng Yaojin and I will be raised by the concubine. I give birth to a son. Sent to the palace to be a eunuch, if there is a daughter, I will throw it into the ditch and drown. After Lao Cheng, I have finished speaking, Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong are the two of you. Just follow what Lao Cheng said just now. Don't worry, let's come one by one... …”
After hearing Cheng Yaojin's oath, Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong frowned. They are different from other anti-kings. They were all officials of the Great Sui Dynasty. Hearing such a vulgar oath is really a bit hard to open, but the remaining anti-kings around are booing, and now they can only face the scalp. Repeated Cheng Yaojin's oath. The rest of the anti-kings said it when they saw the three biggest anti-kings, and they all followed suit.
After seeing that everyone had finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin called up Xu Maogong, his commander-in-chief. On this hill, a map of the division of troops was drawn, and the three-way army of Wagang Army, Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong surrounded Yang Lin's hundreds of thousands of horses. The rest of the anti-king took the troops of the headquarters to watch the Li family father and son in Taiyuan City, and don't let Li Yuan, the old fox, copy his own way.
After the attack plan of the various troops and horses was determined, the rebel kings went down the mountain and took their own troops and began to act. When Yang Lin led the troops to rush here. See the rebels gathered under the city of Taiyuan. After seeing several times and his own troops, the backing king did not directly attack, and Lao Yanglin also set up a defensive formation. He then dispatched a fast horse to ask for reinforcements in front of Yang Guang, who was standing behind him. At this time, Old Yang Lin also lost his confidence. Seeing so many people gathered together, his eyes were dazzled.
It wasn't long before the quick horses who asked for help were sent out. The rebels on the opposite side suddenly opened up. Afterwards, most of the men and horses dispersed, and surrounded their own men and horses from all sides. Old Yang Lin felt a little uneasy at first, but after seeing the commander in the middle, the backing king became angry and pointed at the blue-faced man with white hair and beard, and shouted, "Listen, all generals! Who can take this thief? I will protect him as the king! Come on! Follow me!"
After a furious roar, the hundreds of thousands of troops rushed over to Cheng Yaojin, who was guarded by the Wagang Army, regardless of the other troops.
