At the end of the Sui Dynasty, I am the king

Chapter 32: The Rebirth of the White Robe (Part 1)

Views:

After receiving Fan Zigai's order to lead the army to fight the next day, the chief of Youwuwei, Hu Benlang, could wring out Liu Changgong's face on the spot. If he hadn't been afraid that Fan Zigai had already killed a fourth-rank soldier during this period of time. General Liu Changgong almost wanted to jump up and point at the orderly sent by Fan Zigai and yell at the brutal power of civil servants, a Huya general, and nearly a hundred war-fighting soldiers, "Why is it Lao Tzu again? The four Hu Benlang generals in Youwuwei!" , why do you send Lao Tzu to fight every time? Do you have to play Lao Tzu to death, and you, Fan Zigai, will be happy, right?!"

"What? The white-robed soldiers are going too? My team is still only for the white-robed soldiers to be a powerful force, and there is no need to charge forward in person?" General Liu Changgong quickly turned his anger into joy, and confirmed Fan again from the messenger. After Zi Gai gave this order, Liu Changgong immediately patted his chest with a happy smile and said: "Return to the left-behind lord, please rest assured, I will definitely lead the team to be a good rear army for that kid Chen Yingliang. Clean up the momentum on the battlefield, and keep it safe so that we don't slow down our white-robed soldiers in the Eastern Capital!"

With the backbone of serving the national army, when dispatching troops and arranging the expedition team, in front of a group of sad-faced generals and lieutenants who quietly lamented being unfortunately named, General Liu gave a rare speech to boost morale, "Brothers, don't be afraid! We don't need to charge forward, just stand far away and watch the white-robed soldiers charge. If they win, we will rush up to pick up the bargain. If they lose, we can also run away immediately! Yang rebellious thief It will definitely not be that easy for our team to catch up with us!" After hearing General Liu's words, the captains and captains who were unfortunate enough to be called out for the battle immediately burst into smiles, praising General Liu for being considerate and caring. Soldiers, fighting with General Liu is simply a blessing in a previous life.

General Liu couldn't laugh anymore, because in the early morning of the next day, when he led 4,000 troops and 800 Bao Guojun to join forces at Anximen, and was about to go out of the city to Jinyong City, a group of black-clothed and black-armored Forbidden Army Soldiers suddenly came to his side, saying that they wanted to protect General Liu in the battle, and serve as personal soldiers temporarily for General Liu, and then the team of the forbidden army took out the Yue King Yang Yu's Jie Yue, and told Liu Da directly General, he said that he was under the order of King Jun of Yue to monitor General Liu. If General Liu dared to take a step back on the battlefield, he must kill General Liu immediately and then play!

Hearing these words, General Liu's face turned pale at the time, but the arrow was on the string, General Liu did not have the guts to order to give up this active offensive operation, and he could only lead the four soldiers tremblingly under the supervision of the soldiers of the Imperial Army. The Thousand Empress Army followed the Baoguo Army out of the city. The white robes of the 800 Baoguo Army soldiers fluttered in the wind, and the little face of General Liu was whiter than the white robes.

This is also the first time since the defeat of Pei Hongce and Daxi that the Sui army in Luoyang launched an attack on the rebel camp. Went to Anxi Gate to see off the team of Chen Yingliang and Liu Changgong, but no matter whether they were civil servants or generals, none of them had the slightest hope for General Liu Changgong who led an army of 4,000. Beside the team encouraged them to cheer, and Huangfu Wuyi, who knew about his family affairs, took Chen Yingliang's hand and whispered, "Yingliang, everything is up to you. Liu Changgong's idiot can't be counted on. I know that, you Be smart and take care!"

Amidst the sincere entrustment and enthusiastic encouragement, Chen Yingliang paid a big gift to Fan Zigai, Huangfu Wuyi and other officials of the Eastern Capital, and then walked to the front of the national defense army without saying a word. He waved and led the soldiers of the Baoguo Army to stride out of the city. The neat and clear voice of the military song also echoed under Anxi's gate again, "The smoke rises, the country looks north, the dragon rolls up, the horse neighs, and the sword is like Frost… !"

When the teams of Chen Yingliang and Liu Changgong were still marching towards Jinyong City, the rampant rebel scouts had already sent the news to Jinyong City 18 miles away. Surprised, of course, was that the Luoyang Sui army attacked Jinyong City when the main force of the rebel army was leaving. What was angry was that the Luoyang Sui army had the courage to take the initiative to attack. The national army acted as a vanguard to spread hatred. In a rage, Yang Jishan ignored his brother's order to only defend and not fight. He immediately ordered the troops to gather and decided to lead an army of 10,000 out of the city to face the Luoyang Sui army who dared to come to die. To avenge my fifth younger brother Yang Wanshuo who was accidentally defeated a few days ago!

In fact, Yang Jishan couldn’t do it even if he didn’t want to take the initiative to fight, because Jinyong City, which consists of three small cities, is just the acropolis of Luoyang. Apart from hoarding the food and supplies necessary for the rebels, there are not many troops stationed at all. At the same time, they came to join the rebels There are too many people's militias, and most of them come with their families. They have built a large number of simple tents and thatched houses around Jinyong City. The east and west groups occupy an area of nearly ten miles, and there are no fences. If Yang Jishan didn't take the initiative to fight against the enemy outside the country's gate, once the Luoyang Sui army rushed into the rebel camp outside the city full of children's diapers, everything would be over. !

Although Yang Jishan and his elder brother Yang Xuangan did not expect these civilian militiamen who even brought broken furniture to join the army to charge forward, Yang Jishan and his elder brother Yang Xuangan absolutely did not dare to allow the Sui army to massacre these civilian volunteers, because once lost With the support of the common people, Yang Xuangan's rebels are like duckweeds without roots, fish out of water, and will not be able to jump for long. Yang Xuangan and Yang Jishan, who were the first to train Yang Su in the Sui Dynasty, both understand this truth.

However, even though he was forced to send troops to fight, Yang Jishan was still full of confidence in the victory, because just over 20 days ago, Yang Jishan led 3,000 rebel soldiers who didn't even have armor. A. The newly formed soldiers with willow shields, and the new army formed less than half a month ago with civilian husbands and boatmen as the backbone, faced five thousand well-trained and well-equipped regular soldiers of the Sui army. The enemy was completely defeated, and Daxi, the general of the enemy's army, fled for his life in good faith, and the five thousand Sui troops collapsed on the spot, and almost all surrendered!

Leading 3,000 soldiers with single-handed willow wooden shields can easily defeat 5,000 well-equipped Sui troops, let alone now? The current rebel army has not only greatly improved their equipment by relying on the captured weapons and armor, but also recruited and recruited a large number of Sui soldiers who have undergone military training. Their morale is high and their fighting spirit is high. If he still can't win such a battle, Yang Jishan will be ashamed to meet his elders in his hometown! So Yang Wanshuo, who was ordered to stay at Jinyong City, repeatedly warned Yang Jishan to be careful of the white-robed soldiers. Yang Jishan still patted his chest and laughed loudly: "Don't worry, fifth brother, the stupid king and running dog in white robes are still stupid running dogs. It won't change eighty-four years ago." That white-robed soldier! Last time, Fifth Brother, you only lost to the rainstorm, please stay in the city today, and let’s see how my younger brother will avenge you!"

With the confidence of winning, Yang Jishan led an army of 10,000 to march southward. However, due to the uneven quality of the rebel army, it took Yang Jishan some time to assemble the team. Luoyang New City is only 18 miles away from Jinyong City. Therefore, when Yang Jishan went six miles south, he bumped into the Sui Army's northbound team head-on, and saw the team of the Nationalist Army in which everyone was wearing white capes, and saw the legendary banner of loyalty to the country. I heard the military song "Serve the country with loyalty" that came out 1,400 years in advance.

The two armies were fighting in the wilderness, and the rebel army with a large number of people approached slowly like a dark cloud. The black and dense army seemed to cover the earth, and there was no end in sight. Then the rebel army slowly moved towards the two wings Stretching, like a huge sack slowly opening, ready to swallow the Sui army team coming from the south in one gulp, the dust raised up covered the sky and the sun, and the momentum was so majestic that it was almost breathless.

Facing the astonishing momentum of the rebel army, the four thousand Sui soldiers walking behind began to be timid. Everyone's face turned pale and their hands and feet trembled. Liu Changgong ordered to stop advancing early on and stood in formation more than a mile away from the rebel army. Putting on the posture of running away at any time if the battle is even slightly unfavorable, all of the four thousand Sui soldiers have no fighting spirit, and they all make up their minds to run for their lives as soon as there is an order, including the soldiers of the Imperial Army sent by Fan Zigai to monitor Liu Changgong. They all hoped that the Baoguo Army that was walking ahead would be defeated as soon as possible, so that they could escape with Liu Changgong as soon as possible.

The Army of 4,000 soldiers stopped advancing early, and the Army of Baoguo was still singing forward. Although many soldiers of the Army of Baoguo were timid, they saw Chen Yingliang's thin back walking in the front with a knife in hand. Guo Feng, Chen Zhihong, and Chen Ci, the school captains, followed Chen Yingliang's firm backs, and the timidity of these soldiers who served the country gradually disappeared, replaced by the thought, "I'm not even afraid of officials. Afraid of a ball?!"

Of course, Chen Yingliang was also afraid, because no one needed to tell Chen Yingliang that the 4,000 Sui troops behind him were unreliable at all, and they were the ones who ran the fastest when the battle was slightly unfavorable, so Chen Yingliang never expected them to be of any help from the beginning. . At the same time, Chen Yingliang was still unusually calm, always carefully observing every move of the enemy on the opposite side, and when he saw the enemy extending to the two wings with a regiment as a unit, Chen Yingliang smiled, because Chen Yingliang knew very well that the enemy general on the other side had underestimated the enemy. He only considered expanding the results of the battle as much as possible, and he was not mentally prepared for a fierce battle at all! As long as the battle is slightly unfavorable, the rebel team, which is purely mob, will only escape faster than that trash Liu Changgong behind!

Lifting the horizontal knife upwards, the neat military singing stopped abruptly. Chen Yingliang turned his head again, glanced around at the soldiers of the Nationalist Army who were nervous behind him, suddenly smiled, and then said loudly: "Brothers, do you still remember that I told you The story you tell? On the Luoyang battlefield eighty-four years ago, seven thousand white-robed soldiers fought against millions of Wei troops, and there were eleven bloody battles in three days, who won the complete victory?"

"The white-robed soldiers are all victorious!" More than 800 soldiers of the Nationalist Army replied in unison.

"Yes!" Chen Yingliang nodded vigorously, pointed at the rebel team more than 300 paces away with a horizontal knife, and said loudly with a smile: "Brothers, our chance has come. Opposite us, there are only 10,000 mobs, and we The strength of the army, but there are four regiments of eight hundred and forty-five brothers! Compared with the white-robed soldiers, we are simply too easy! Back then, the white-robed soldiers had to kill more than a hundred enemies alone, but today we , everyone only needs to kill ten enemies, and they will be victorious! Tell me, in today's battle, who will win the battle between us and the enemy?!"

"We will win!" More than 800 soldiers of the Nationalist Army replied in unison.

"Very good!" Chen Yingliang nodded in satisfaction, and said loudly: "Brothers, take a closer look at the opponents in front of us. Many of them don't even have a decent piece of armor on them, and many of the weapons in their hands are hoe wood. Cha, even if there are hundreds of thousands of mobs like this, we don’t need to pay attention to them! The white-robed soldiers in the 1984 years were able to beat the enemy’s millions with only 7,000 troops! Today, they are also wearing white robes. We are destined to reproduce that period of history and leave a new myth in the history books! Our myth! Serve the national army and win!"

"We must win!" All the soldiers of the patriotic army raised their weapons like Chen Yingliang and shouted loudly.

"Report to the national army and obey orders!" Chen Yingliang yelled, turned to face the enemy, pointed the horizontal knife in his hand at the front of the rebels' main formation, and roared, "Target, the enemy's commander-in-chief! For the sake of Sui, For our own sake, follow me! Kill!"

Roaring, Chen Yingliang was the first to rush towards tens of thousands of enemies in a big stride. The banner of loyalty to the country and the four lieutenants followed without hesitation, and more than 800 soldiers of the national defense army also followed without hesitation. Without hesitation, he killed the rebel army that was more than ten times larger than himself. The loud and clear cry of killing shook the heavens and earth, echoing endlessly on the battlefield, and the voice spread for miles, "Kill!"

Seeing that the Baoguo army initiated the charge, the four thousand Sui troops hiding in the distance behind were stunned. General Liu Changgong, who was surrounded by soldiers from the imperial army, was speechless, saying nothing. The national army dared to take the initiative to charge! So after finally regaining consciousness, General Liu, who had also read some history books, couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of thick phlegm, "Bah! Putting on the robe of filial piety, I thought I could become the white robe from eighty-four years ago." Soldiers? Wait for death, eight hundred and forty-five idiots!"

The rebel army and the rebel leader Yang Jishan were also stunned. He was also shocked by the crazy actions of the Baoguo army. Yang Jishan then became furious and roared: "Beat the drums, the front army will charge! Kill me! Help the arrogant people in filial robes!"

The battle drums captured from the Sui army sounded, and the five rebel teams in the forefront launched a counter-charge. The motley-dressed rebel teams were colorful, and they rushed towards the Baoguo army with shouts, shouting and killing. Although they were equally fierce, the large and small teams messed up on their own during the fast-step charge, showing the true nature of a mob, which was in stark contrast to the Nationalist Army that always maintained collective action.

It wasn't until the two armies were less than 20 paces away that the national newspaper army team became a little messy—four school lieutenants and some veterans of the national newspaper army habitually quickened their pace and passed Chen Yingliang who was rushing to the front, intentionally or unintentionally. They surrounded Chen Yingliang in the middle for covert protection, and then each of them drew their swords and guns, stabbing the enemy facing him with bloodshot eyes.

Even Chen Yingliang himself did not expect that after the Nationalist Army had established absolute self-confidence, it would be able to explode into such a powerful combat force. When the two armies collided, the dozen or so rebel soldiers who rushed to the front almost broke out in the blink of an eye. He was chopped into pieces, stabbed into honeycombs, screamed and fell into a pool of blood, and the salty blood splashed on the faces of the soldiers of the Nationalist Army, which made the soldiers of the Nationalist Army even more excited and excited. Like a crazy tiger, the knife slashed faster, the gun stabbed harder, and in an instant, more rebel soldiers died on the battlefield.

This is no longer a war, but a massacre. The soldiers of the patriotic army, who have an absolute advantage in equipment training and morale, are like a group of tigers descending from the mountain, rushing into the rebels who are only equipped with simple weapons and armor. Wanton massacres, knives, axes, guns, guns, hammers, and the fine light armor on his body can resist ordinary attacks. He only attacks and does not hide. He kills enemies frantically. They screamed and stabbed them with spears, all of them looked like crazy demons, and all of them looked like Shura killing gods!

Driven by these veterans who rushed to the front, the new soldiers who joined the national service army also went crazy. When you see an enemy, chop it up, if you see someone not wearing a white robe, chop it up, even if it is an enemy who has fallen to the ground, you will have to make up a few knives and axes, and you will never stop until you chop it into several pieces! The eight hundred and forty-five people reappeared like the white-robed soldiers eighty-four years ago, advancing unstoppably forward and forward.

Blood was constantly being sprinkled, heads, arms, and hot flesh were constantly flying on the battlefield. The sound of swords and guns colliding with gold and iron, screams, and shouts of killing echoed on the battlefield. Blood-stained all over, they were as fierce and terrifying as ghosts from hell. All the rebel soldiers who dared to resist were turned into corpses in front of them, and then they were trampled into blood red by the soldiers of the patriotism army. Meat sauce, where the banner of loyalty to the country points, the rebel soldiers are all turned into powder!

The rebel team that fought against the Nationalist Army began to flee. The Sui Army they encountered before and the Nationalist Army team they faced now are simply different creatures from two worlds. If the Sui Army team that the rebel team encountered before If it is a group of sheep at the mercy of others, then the team of the Nationalist Army that the rebel team is now encountering is simply a group of lions, a group of crazy lions! Frightened and frightened, the rebel army, which was still a mob in its core, panicked and began to flee for their lives. After all, rebel soldiers are human beings, and they also cherish their precious lives.

Just after one o'clock, the five regiments of the rebel army collapsed completely. The school lieutenant and the brigade commander took the lead in fleeing to the main formation. At the battle behind, there is a large piece of flesh and blood wreckage, almost all of which are the corpses of rebel soldiers.

Yang Jishan also began to panic. He never dreamed that the Baoguo Army was so ferocious. After being stunned, Yang Jishan hurriedly urged the team around him to stop the charge of the Baoguo Army soldiers. Gathered up, the three sides sandwiched the Nationalist Army team, which was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength.

Yang Jishan added troops to the front and ordered the two wings to outflank. Of course, this is an extremely correct battlefield tactic. However, Yang Jishan, who has quite a bit of experience in the battlefield, forgot a fatal problem-the soldiers under his command were not the elite soldiers of the Sui Dynasty that he commanded before. , but a group of ordinary people who have just put down their hoes and picked up weapons, a group of former Sui soldiers who have just surrendered and are no longer brave! No matter how good the tactics are, if no soldiers can implement them well, it will be a waste of effort!

The myth of eighty-four years ago was completely repeated. It was the same general named Chen who had never personally killed himself, and the same group of soldiers in white robes. It is the side that has the absolute advantage in pressing down its forces to fight! More than 800 soldiers of the rebel army united around the emaciated Chen Yingliang, and rushed straight to Yang Jishan's commander-in-chief without any compromise, smashing the rebel teams blocking the front one by one, and rushed seven times. It was scattered, overwhelming, and invincible. On the battlefield, there were only the heroic and fearless shouts of the patriotic soldiers, and the terrified screams of the rebel soldiers, "The white-robed soldiers are coming! The white-robed soldiers are coming! Come on!" Go! Run! Run!"

Desperately looking at the battlefield in front of him, seeing his own defeated soldiers retreating like a tide, and also seeing the nationalist army advancing straight towards him, Yang Jishan felt unbelievable, and suddenly remembered an old nursery rhyme, eighty-four years ago A nursery rhyme that is sung by everyone in Luoyang—the famous army general Mo Zi prison, thousands of troops avoid white robes!

"Huh? Can we still win this time?" Liu Changgong, who was being watched by the soldiers of the forbidden army, was also in a state of despair. General Liu had never eaten pork, but he had seen pigs running, so we could tell which side had the upper hand in the current battle situation. , it can be seen that the goddess of victory has once again bloomed a charming smile to herself. In ecstasy, General Liu drew his saber in his hand, raised it and roared...

"Brothers, get ready, wait for the enemy to disperse, or wait for our white-robed soldiers to cut down the enemy's commander-in-chief flag, then charge up for me and take advantage of his mother!"
