Where is Chen Yingliang? Of course, leading the main force of the Chinese army in a decisive battle with the Turkic Chinese army, reversing the situation on the partial battlefield can only guarantee not to lose and to obtain partial victories. The key to Sui Yangdi's husband and wife and a large group of civil and military officials in the Sui court is still the main battlefield of the Chinese army.
After more than half an hour of fierce fighting, the situation on the main battlefield still remained unchanged. It was still the Sui army's heavy infantry attacking the front of the Turkic army, and the Turkic army attacking the Sui army's left flank. At one time, they had a certain upper hand, opening a gap in the front of the Turkic battle formation, and rushed into the interior of the Turkic front formation, but before the troops had time to expand the gap, the Turkic army, which had an advantage in number of troops, had increased its troops to counterattack, desperately filling the gap , Bit by bit, the heavy infantry of the Sui army was squeezed out, bringing the battle back to balance.
The situation on the left-wing battlefield of the Sui army was the same. The Turkic army charged the Taiyuan Sui army on the left flank from the front and the west. , fought very tenaciously, and never gave the Turkic army the slightest chance to break into the battle formation. The Turkic army repeatedly charged, except for causing many casualties to the Taiyuan Sui army and leaving corpses all over the ground. When there is a good opportunity to break through the battle formation of the Sui army.
The battle situation was at a stalemate, but the commanders of both sides, Chen Yingliang and Shibi Khan, never made any adjustments. They just let the soldiers of their own army fight bloody battles with the enemy. Miserably refused to increase troops. Shibi Khan did this by relying on his large number of soldiers and his strong military strength, so it can be said that he could not wish for such a meat grinder war of attrition. It also takes time for the enemy's treachery to take effect, and they are unwilling to expand the scale of the war too much at this time.
Both Shibi Khan and Chen Sangliang were confident and calm, but Ambassador Li Yuan and Li quit. He suggested several times that Chen Sangliang join the new force as soon as possible to share the pressure on his direct line team that was fighting hard, but Chen Sangliang turned a deaf ear to it. In the end, Chen Yingliang simply scolded: "Shut up! Ambassador Li, don't forget that you are still suspected of collaborating with the enemy, so you are not qualified to participate in my military aircraft!"
"Marshal Chen, whether or not this officer is suspected of collaborating with the enemy is up to you now, and His Majesty the Emperor will have the final say in the future." Li Yuan said angrily: "But you are simply joking with the lives of soldiers now. The armor burden of heavy infantry is already heavy. Heavy, the longer the combat time, the more serious the decline in physical strength, the more serious the casualties, don't you understand this truth?"
"Ambassador Li, when did the heavy infantry under your command become old, weak, sick and disabled? It's only been more than a quarter of an hour, and they can't even wear armor?" Chen Sangliang asked back with a sneer, and then sneered: "Ambassador Li, I know you I want to preserve the strength of the direct line, but you have to find a decent excuse, even though you are almost three times my age, but when it comes to the wars you have experienced, do you have more than half of mine?"
Li Yuan's old face turned red, and just as he was about to refute, Li Jing beside him suddenly said: "Commander, pay attention, the Turkic side is making moves."
Chen Sangliang and Li Yuan hurriedly looked up, only to see that there were indeed two Turkic armies coming out from the two wings, one left and one right outflanking the flanks of the Sui army's heavy infantry. Seeing this, Chen Yingliang couldn't help smiling, and said: The bandit chief is very smart, instead of sending more soldiers to our left flank, he sent more soldiers to the frontal battlefield, is he trying to lure me to send more troops?"
"It should be like this." Li Jing analyzed: "If we increase our troops to the frontal battlefield, we will be restrained by the Turkic army to disperse our weak forces, and then the Turks will use the means of increasing troops to the left and attacking the right to lure us even more. If we divide our troops and contain our right wing, the strength of the central army will be weak, and the Turkic army will have greater confidence in attacking our central army in a roundabout way."
"How to deal with it?" Chen Sangliang asked.
Li Jing smiled and replied: "In the nineteenth year of Emperor Kaihuang, Yang Su fought against the Turkic Datou Khan. Datou Khan attacked our army with 100,000 cavalry. On the front, he lured the Turks to surround him with heavy troops, and after the Turks attacked Zhou Luohu for a long time, they were exhausted, and their morale was frustrated, so Yang Su led the main force to launch a general attack, defeated the Turks in one fell swoop, and injured Datou Khan."
"The situation is quite similar." Chen Sangliang smiled, and said with a smile: "Then let's not rush to increase troops. I will be Yang Su once, and I will listen to Xu Shixu, who led the heavy infantry of the Taiyuan Army, as Zhou Luohou once—Handler Xu Shixu , Hold it firmly, don't take a step back!"
The messengers rushed forward to deliver the order, while Li Yuan's face became even more gloomy. While secretly cursing that Chen Sangliang would be crushed like Yang Su in the future, he glared at Li Jing and cursed secretly: "You're a fool, you flatterer! Instigate Chen Xiaothief to take the old man's direct line to the top, let the old man wait and see!"
At the same time, the Turkic cavalry attacking left and right had also engaged the two wings of the Sui army's heavy infantry. Gathering together, it is obvious that they want to form a circle and fight alone. Shibi Khan couldn't help getting angry, and said angrily: "You barbarian, do you want to use this heavy infantry to contain my army? Okay, I will help you! Advance forward, completely encircle the barbarian heavy infantry, and then attack the barbarian's left flank Increase the troops by 5,000, and continue to charge the barbarian's left flank, forcing the barbarian to divide his troops!"
The order was conveyed, and five thousand Turkic cavalry quickly marched out to attack the left flank of the Sui army that was fighting fiercely. The Turkic army in the front line also launched a counterattack. The heavy infantry of the army, bows, arrows and sabers greeted the heavy infantry of the Sui army desperately, while the Taiyuan Sui army led by Xu Shixu gathered together to fight, fighting very hard.
The two battlefields of the Sui army in Taiyuan have entered a fierce stage. The Turkic cavalry, with their numbers, hit the rocks like a tidal wave, violently attacking the two Sui armies in Taiyuan one wave after another. He and Xu Shixu's troops had no power to fight back at all, and could only rely on dense queues to struggle against the Turkic impact. The soldiers in the first row died in the second row to make up for it, and the soldiers in the second row sacrificed in the third row. Leaving the space to be filled by rotation, Taiyuan soldiers can only fight on the bodies of their comrades and wounded soldiers. The corpses at the battle site are layered on top of each other, and the blood flows along the ground, forming a thick pool of blood. Both sides are casualties. Very tragic.
Once again, Shibi Khan, who was impatient, saw that Chen Sangliang refused to divide his troops to reinforce Li Jiancheng and Xu Shixu, so Shibi Khan simply ordered the army to attack the right wing of the Sui army where Yang Jun was. Of course, his face became even paler, and he almost wondered if he had spoiled Sibi Khan's wife or sister after drinking, and in the end, Shibi Khan had picked his own army to make trouble? Chen Sangliang, who was devoid of conscience, seemed to stay out of the matter, sneered and just ordered Yang Hao to form an formation to guard the right wing and let the Turks attack.
While the battle on the right wing was unfolding, Master Yin also hurriedly reminded Chen Yingliang: "Commander, be careful, the Turkic division of troops is likely to contain our right wing, and then attack our front in a roundabout way."
"Will I be afraid?" Chen Sangliang asked back with a confident smile, and said, "The only thing I am worried about now is the situation in the north. Counting time, our fake attachment should have already started to act."
Before the words fell, if the Turkic side split another army, they would detour south from the open west and directly attack Chen Sangliang's central army position. Seeing this scene, Chen Sangliang didn't even blink his eyelids, and ordered Niu Jinda to resist, then sat back on the commander's seat, crossed his fingers upwards, stretched comfortably, and said with a smile: "The main Turkic force is We are completely entangled, and the next thing is Jinghou Jiayin, I am tired from standing, rest for a while, let me know if there is any change on the battlefield."
There is no suspense. In front of the veteran Qiao Peng, the Turkic army is destined to take no advantage. The army has not rushed to the range of the bow and arrow, but it has been suppressed by Qiao Peng's crossbow. If you rush closer, you will be covered by bows and arrows. After finally rushing to the front of the Sui army, another spear-throwing attack hits you. No matter how hard you rush to a position where you can fight hand-to-hand, you are repeatedly hacked and stabbed by the Mo Dao soldiers under Niu Jinda's command. Killing ghosts crying and wolves howling, people turning their backs, not to mention breaking through the frontal interception of the Qiao Peng Sui army, even trying to hide in the distance and harassing them with arrows is as difficult as climbing the sky-the infantry's strong bow can shoot farther than the Turkic horse bow.
Seeing this scene, Li Yuan, who saw the battle of Qiao Peng Sui Army for the first time, was of course secretly shocked. Only then did he realize that the Qiao Peng Sui Army, who had been trained through countless actual combat experiences, was indeed much stronger than his Taiyuan direct descendants in terms of combat effectiveness and coordination. , Chen Sangliang does have the capital to be crazy. At the same time, Shibi Khan was even more furious. Regardless of the fact that nearly half of the army had already entered the battlefield, he sent another 5,000 troops to the front of the Sui army. In the interior of the army, Qiao Peng and the Sui army were forced to fight in melee with the Turkic army, creating opportunities for the Turkic reserve team.
Sangli's reinforcements attacked as ordered, and it was at this time that Shibi Khan was able to spare a little to care about the northern battlefield. Fortunately, several orderlies who came to report the battle reported that the battle was going well. On the battlefield, the Turkic army had the upper hand, and the Nalun battlefield had already secured its victory. It was only a matter of time before the Sui army's partial division was completely defeated. Only then did Shibi Khan feel relieved, nodded and said, "Very well, it's good that we all have the upper hand. As long as Nalun breaks the deadlock first, frees up his hands to reinforce other battlefields, and eats up the barbarians one by one, there will be no problem." !"
"Report!"
Joy gave birth to sorrow, but the bad news came suddenly. A scout flew directly from the north to Shibi Khan's Golden Wolf flag, and before dismounting, he shouted: "Qi Khan, I don't know what happened. General Na Lun suddenly came to battle!" Retreat, retreat towards our military camp!"
"Na Lun retreated? Why?" Shibi Khan was taken aback. He hurriedly looked to the north and said in surprise, "How is it possible? Our army has the upper hand. With Na Lun's temper, it is impossible to retreat timidly?"
No one can answer Shibi Khan's order, the distance is too far, and Shibi Khan can't see anything except the red night sky reflected by countless torches-this point of error correction, it should be said that Shibi Ke Khan only saw another self-army scout rushing towards him on horseback. As soon as he dismounted, he played: "Qi Khan, I don't know why, General Rustu on the east bank of the Hutuo River suddenly retreated before the battle, and headed towards us on the east bank of the Hutuo River. The camp retreated, and the barbarian army took the opportunity to counterattack and seemed to have bitten General Rustu's rear."
"Is Rustu crazy? Just as crazy as Na Lun?" Shibi Khan was even more shocked, and then hurriedly shouted: "Quickly, send more scouts to check the situation and ask why Na Lun and Rustu suddenly Retreat and report to me immediately! Quick, the sooner the better!"
A large number of scouts rushed northward, but the room leaked and it rained overnight. At this time, the Turkic generals around him also reported to Shibi Khan that the battle ahead was not good. The Turkic army in the front of the army was repulsed again, and the reinforcements led by Sangli had just arrived and turned back to the front, and before they had time to attack, Shibi Khan was furious and shouted: "It's not a good thing to be repelled by the barbarians!" ? The barbarian didn't attack again, if he doesn't care, Sangli will continue to deal with the barbarian!"
"Khan." At this time, Li Er, who had fainted from crying before, suddenly said, wiped his tears and said, "Khan, the younger generation thinks that we should not attack the front of the barbarian army again. It is not sure, and it will make our The army is getting further into the battlefield, and General Sangli should be asked to stand by temporarily until the situation on the battlefield in the north can be ascertained."
"Fart! Go away!"
Shibi Khan, who was in a very bad mood, didn't growl angrily, Li Er quickly shut up, took a step back showing a timid look, and snorted coldly in his heart: "I know you won't listen, but it's exactly what I want, you will regret it later Then, you will gradually begin to pay attention to my suggestions.”
The distance was too far, and the road was blocked by the main force of the Turks. Of course, Chen Sangliang didn't know that his plan to disrupt the enemy had begun to succeed, but patiently waited for a turning point to appear, and also waited for the emergency signal to be issued in case of emergency. However, Li Yuan next to him was anxious to become an ant on the hot pot, and even found an opportunity to whisper to Li Jing: "Pharmacist, you persuade Xiao thief Chen that it is time to send reinforcements to my direct line, and say that once my direct line Failure will also shake the morale of the army."
Glancing at Li Yuan, and then at the two armies of Li Jiancheng and Xu Shixu who were struggling to support them, Li Jing replied expressionlessly: "Ambassador Li, your direct line can still hold on, don't worry."
"You...!" Li Yuan almost yelled, and finally suppressed the urge to growl, Li Yuan whispered viciously again: "Li Yaoshi, don't forget what I told you back then, Chen Yingliang is a rootless boy!" Ping, no matter how happy the spring breeze is now, in the future, a gust of wind can blow it down."
Li Jing finally looked at Li Jing with straight eyes, and suddenly smiled, with a very strange smile, and asked, "Ambassador Li, do you still remember what you said to me back then?"
"That sentence?" Li Yuan asked back.
Li Jing laughed even more strangely. Just when he was about to speak, the Yin Shishi on the other side suddenly shouted: "Commander, there is a fire on the mountain, and the signal has appeared!"
Li Yuan was taken aback, and when he turned his head to look at Chen Sangliang and Yin Shishi, he saw that Chen Sangliang closed his eyes tightly, and asked in a trembling voice, "East? Or west?"
Li Yuan was stunned again, and quickly looked around again, but saw a little fire rising from the top of the mountain east of the north at some point, as if someone had lit a bonfire there to send a signal. Then Li Yuan saw Li Jing cupping his hands to Chen Sangliang and said with a smile: "Commander, you don't need to close your eyes nervously. Congratulations, Commander. Congratulations, Commander. It's Dongmian. Your trick has already succeeded."
Only then did Chen Sangliang open his eyes. He first looked at the bonfire on the top of the mountain in the east, then heaved a long sigh of relief, his face full of relief, and then ordered: "Firearms team, take action! Order the whole army to prepare for a counterattack .”
While singing the promise, a group of lecturers from the Sui army suddenly strode forward, rushed to the front of the position where they were fighting fiercely with the Turkic army, lit dozens of bottle-shaped objects, and then threw them at the dense crowd of Turkic soldiers. At the same time, Chen Sangliang also ordered loudly: "Generals, mount your horses, it's time for us to counterattack! Ambassador Li, mount my horses too, Prefect Yin, protect Ambassador Li for me."
Before the voice fell, there was already a thunderstorm in front of him, and the flames continued. During the period, there were countless screams of Turkic soldiers and the neighing of war horses. When Li Yuan turned his head to look, he saw that the Turkic army that was charging intensively was already in chaos. The horses were neighing in disarray, many Turkic soldiers couldn't control the frightened horses, they were carried by the horses and ran around, more Turkic soldiers retreated timidly, but once again countless black spots flew out of the Sui army's formation, black spots It exploded in the Turkic army, and the continuous loud roar made the already chaotic Turkic army even more chaotic.
"What kind of weapon is this?" Li Yuan was extremely envious, and secretly said, "We must get this kind of weapon."
At this time, Chen Yingliang, who had already mounted his horse, ordered again and shouted: "Beat the drum, Qiao Peng's former army will attack, kill the Turks in front, rescue Xu Shixu, and open the way for our army to attack! Order the whole army to capture the bandit leader alive, A reward of twenty catties of gold! Promoted to three ranks!"
At the same time, Shibi Khan was also shocked by the primitive grenades that exploded one after another, and only then did he understand why his younger brother Elifer was defeated by such a loud noise, and was still captured alive by the Sui army amidst such a loud noise— The momentum was indeed astonishing. Just as Shibi Khan was wondering what such a weapon was, another scout rushed up from behind and played to Shibi Khan: "Report to Khan, something is wrong. General Tuli was killed by barbarians. The army has been defeated and is retreating to the camp, the barbarians are chasing after us, our camp is in a hurry!"
"Turi was defeated by the barbarian army?" Shibi Khan's face changed drastically, because Tuli's battlefield was very close to the battlefields of Yushe and Nibu. Can't be defeated.
"Khan, the barbarians are fighting back!" The Turkic general next to him shouted, pointing to the south.
Just as Shibi Khan turned his head, another Turkic general shouted, "Khan, we have another scout here."
Before turning his head to see the situation in the south, Shibi Khan hurriedly turned his head again, and saw that there was another scout galloping towards him, and when he got off the horse in a hurry, he fell off the horse because of being too flustered, and before he could get up, he ran away. Climbing directly in front of Shibi Khan with both hands and feet, he said out of breath: "Khan, something is wrong. Yu She and General Nibu were also defeated, and they also fled back to our camp in a hurry. The barbarians chased after them. Our army didn't have time to enter the camp, and there was chaos in front of the camp, and they were beaten badly by the barbarians."
"How is it possible?" Shibi Khan wailed in disbelief, "How is it possible? My Turkic warriors had the upper hand just now, how could they all be defeated suddenly? What happened to the north? What happened?"
"Khan! General Sangli and the others have already lost!" The Turkic general next to him also screamed.
Shibi Khan hurriedly turned his head to look at the situation on the southern battlefield, but saw that the Turkic army in chaos had indeed been easily defeated by the Sui army. The defeated Turkic soldiers under Sangli fled in all directions, while the Sui army marched triumphantly, besieging Xu Shixu's Turkic army. Behind the army, before they could get close, there was a loud thunderclap from the crowd of the Turkic army besieging Xu Shixu, and then needless to say, the Turkic army was in chaos again.
"Look Khan, the barbarian's white-robed soldiers!"
There was another exclamation, and when Shibi Khan hurriedly looked at the Sui army's position again, he saw Qiao Peng in front of the Sui army's formation. Sure enough, a group of cavalry in white robes appeared. Immediately he wailed, and said: "Chen Yingliang barbarian has clairvoyant eyes and good ears? How can he seize the opportunity to fight back?"
