Turbulent Times Chapter 1276: The confident prince of the Sui Dynasty
In Luoyang City, the Sui Crown Prince Yang Wei has been standing on the top of the city for the past few days, watching the battle between the Far Eastern Army and the rebels from a distance. The Far Eastern Army attacked the rebels together, but Yang Hao rejected them all.
After learning the news that the rebel army suffered heavy losses at the hands of Wang Junlin and was retreating steadily, Yang Hao was secretly delighted while being jealous. Everything was going according to his and Bai Lingyun's expectations. He couldn't wait to watch Yang Su knelt at his feet and surrendered to himself.
Tonight, the Far Eastern Army launched a large-scale night attack on the rebels. After Yang Hao got the news, Tianmeng Mengliang got up excitedly and came to the city wall in person to watch the fighting outside the city from a distance.
"His Royal Highness, I request you to bring 10,000 elite soldiers out of the city to cooperate with the Far East Army to wipe out the rebels." Qu Tutong saw the situation outside the city clearly, and ran to ask for instructions with a look of excitement and excitement.
Yang Yan glanced at him impatiently, and said: "General Qu, King Qin An is so capable, it's enough for him to deal with the rebels. General Qu should still defend the city with peace of mind."
Qu Tutong's face turned red immediately, he suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and argued: "But Your Highness, the situation before us..."
"General Qu, how dare you not listen to what I say." Before Qu Tutong could finish speaking, Yang Hao looked at Qu Tutong with a stern look, and interrupted him unceremoniously.
Qu Tutong's heart trembled, he cursed secretly, lowered his head and cupped his fists and said: "I dare not."
"Back down!" Yang Hao was very satisfied to see that a general like Qu Tutong was obedient in front of his power, and he believed more and more that Yang Su would definitely surrender to him when Wang Junlin cornered him. .
…
…
"Charge!" Luo Shixin finally led his men to kill the 2,000 dead soldiers, and he wanted to lead his men to the center of the rebel camp. .
"Kill!" Luo Shixin roared with a murderous look on his face, and slashed down with his sword. He rushed out first, followed by more than 4,000 cavalry, and the black torrent burst out.
By this time, the battalion where the 80,000 rogues on the left wing of the rebel army was located was completely messed up, and almost no longer existed.
Wang Junlin had already seen the letter soldiers sent by Luo Shixin, and after learning that all the elite generals of Yang Su had gathered at the location of the Chinese army, he faintly felt that something was wrong, so he decisively asked Guan Xiaotong to lead 20,000 infantry soldiers to march to the rebel camp The right wing, that 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 Luo Shixin was intercepted by two thousand Youzhou cavalry generals, and Yuchi Jingde on the left wing was about to kill the bandit camp with the tiger battalion and rushed to the front of the Chinese army, so he decisively began to lead more than fifty thousand elite soldiers to Luoyang city The direction is in a state of defeat.
Yang Su personally led, Li Zixiong led more than 10,000 Youzhou iron cavalry to rush out in front, and Guan Xiaotong just rushed to the side of Li Zixiong with the Iron Hammer Battalion.
The two armies almost collided head-on, when Guan Xiaotong gave an order, the three rows of 5,000 fast crossbows buzzed, and the rain of arrows shot out, while the 20,000 infantry under the cover of the crossbows He plunged into the brigade of Youzhou iron cavalry, and was immediately overwhelmed by the cavalry.
"Construct a round formation, defend and defend!" Guan Xiaotong didn't expect to bump into him head-on, brandishing his thick back saber, rushing from left to right, and constantly adjusting his deployment in the chaos, so that his 20,000 infantry lined up. Formed a circular formation, the outer four rows of spearmen rose and fell one after another, constantly stabbing the rebels off their horses, while the inner three circles were holding fast crossbows and firing freely.
During this process, the infantry of the Hammer Battalion on the outskirts were constantly being knocked into the air or knocked down by the powerful cavalry, and at this time, the fast crossbowmen in the inner three circles would drop their fast crossbows immediately , holding a long gun to fill the gap.
"Hold on, hold on! Stab, stab!" Guan Xiaotong led a thousand soldiers in the circle, seeing that it was in danger, he mobilized a thousand soldiers to support him and rush over to stabilize the line of defense. In the panic, the 20,000 infantry gradually stabilized their formation after paying the price of more than 1,000 casualties, and held the line of defense firmly like a mainstay in the cavalry flood.
After a delay here, Yuchi Jingde finally led more than 10,000 cavalry from the Tiger Battalion to kill the rebel camp and catch up. Originally there were more than 50,000 Yang Su elites, but they were intercepted by Guan Xiaotong and attracted more than 20,000. At this time, the force was only about 10,000 more than that of Yuchi Jingde's troops. With the advantages of guns, steel guns, fast crossbows, and more advanced tactics, and because he was in a hurry to run in the direction of Luoyang City, instead of gaining the upper hand, he gradually fell into a disadvantage.
Wang Junlin personally led a thousand soldiers around the left flank and joined the ranks of attacking Yang Suwei's army, while the rest of Lu Han led the Iron Spear Battalion to attack the rebel camp still in chaos Left-wing rogues. On the other side, Luo Shixin was about to defeat the two thousand Youzhou cavalry.
Yang Su found sadly that he had pretended to be defeated, but now he was about to become a real defeated one. He has the upper hand in terms of overall strength, but he is always inexplicably at a disadvantage in every battle direction during the battle, especially Guan Xiaotong's 20,000 infantry are like a nail drilled into his stomach, which makes him uncomfortable Seeing that although the opponent's circle was compressed step by step by them, it was getting smaller and smaller, but the smaller it was, the greater its rebounding force, and the more he had to pay a greater price to move forward. Compressed internally, even if he wiped out the opponent's 20,000 infantry, he would still suffer heavy casualties. At that time, his entire army would be wiped out, and there would be no result of stealing Luoyang City.
Yang Su red-eyed, gritted his teeth and sent an order to Li Mi and Wang Bodang: "You two leave one person behind and lead 6,000 people who dare to die. After the death, the others continue to retreat towards Luoyang City, retreat..."
Li Mi and Wang Bodang's expressions changed slightly, and they looked at each other, Li Mi looked away and didn't say a word, Wang Bodang sighed secretly, under Yang Su's sinister gaze, he gritted his teeth and clasped his fists, saying: "At the end Will obey."
…
The main force of the rebel army began to retreat desperately towards Luoyang City. Guan Xiaotong, who had only had time to deploy the circular formation that had been squashed in a hurry, finally took a breath. The horse under his crotch had been shot to death by the opponent. Under the crazy attack of the elite rebels just now, there are already more than 1,500 people left. Looking at the Youzhou cavalry retreating like a tide, Guan Xiaotong leaned on a knife, panting heavily, and ordered: " Send the order down, use a hundred people as a square, catch up, and bypass these damned dead soldiers."
Wang Junlin's heart skipped a beat when he saw Wang Bodang leading 6,000 daredevils out of the rebel army and entangled most of Yuchi Jingde and Guan Xiaotong's troops. He glanced at Luoyang City from a distance, frowning Frowning tightly, although he felt that something was wrong, he just couldn't figure out what the purpose of Yang Su's move was.
After all, even though Yang Hao is stupid, it is not enough to secretly join forces with Yang Su to deal with him.
Seeing the retreat led by Yang Su, and the elites led by Li Zixiong and Li Mi seem to be scattered, but in fact they are orderly in chaos and the morale of the army is still there. Blocking the retreat of the rebels, let alone blocking the rebels at this time, will inevitably force every rebel to die. Even if all these rebels are killed, their Far East Army will suffer heavy losses. Such a result was not what he wanted to see, so Wang Junlin did not rush to order people to catch up.
Even, he immediately ordered Guan Xiaotong not to chase 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 iron cavalry, to lead the cavalry of the Cyclone Battalion to chase after him. Try to kill all the elites of the Yang Su tribe who are behind.
After all the 6,000 rebel soldiers led by Wang Bodang were killed here, and Wang Boguang was captured alive, Wang Junlin led Yuchi Jingde's Tiger Camp to chase after him, because he didn't understand Yang. For Su's purpose, Wang Junlin ordered people not to chase him too closely.
Yang Su led more than 40,000 elite main forces, and headed towards Luoyang City in a 'frustrated' 'defeat', followed by the Far East Army.
On the head of Luoyang City, Yang Hao trembled with excitement, and ecstatically ordered Qu Tutong: "General Qu, Yang Su led the rebels to defeat Luoyang City. This is because they want to surrender to the palace. Ah! You are ready, you will follow me out of the city to surrender later."
Qu Tutong was stunned for a moment, and said with a look of surprise: "His Royal Highness, what kind of person is Yang Su, he will never surrender."
Yang Hao's expression froze, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Beside Yang Hao, a beautiful and thin servant suddenly said: "General Qu is saying that His Royal Highness is not as good as that old thief Yang Su?"
As a great general, Qu Tutong has such a noble status. When he saw that a small servant dared to teach him a lesson, he snorted coldly and was about to say something when he suddenly realized that the servant who spoke was obviously dressed up by a woman, and it was a woman. She was a stunning woman, and he remembered the rumors that His Highness the Crown Prince loved a woman surnamed Bai so much that he carried her with him everywhere, so he swallowed his anger again.
Because he knew that Yang Hao was a narrow-minded person, it would be bad if the prince had murderous intentions towards him because he scolded this woman.
Seeing that Qu Tutong was left speechless by Bai Lingyun's question, Yang Yan sneered and said: "General Qu, I will let you see if Yang Su wants to surrender to me today. "
