Just like in history, the second battle between Wei Xuanjun and Yang Xuangan's rebel army was wronged. Wei Xuan, who had some military talents, spent a lot of effort in arranging the battle formation before the battle, and personally commanded the battle before the battle to boost morale. Wei Xuan's right-hand men Zhang Jun, Wei Fusi, Husi Wanshan, and Pang Yu—that's right, Pang Daren is indeed a bit narrow-minded, but he has nothing to say in terms of loyalty and hard work. These people also put in all their energy to cheer for the soldiers of the Sui Army, and all of them brought their own soldiers to the battlefield to supervise the battle, and they devoted themselves to setting an example for the soldiers of the Sui Army.
It's a pity that Wei Xuan's opponent this time is not only the brothers Yang Xuangan who have won the three armies bravely, but also the future Wagang Fox Li Mi. The battle process is the same as in history. Wei Xuanjun charged, and after a moment of fierce fighting, the rebel army suddenly dispatched some soldiers wearing Sui army uniforms, ran to the front of the Sui army and shouted, declaring that the Sui army had captured Yang Xuangan alive. The army believed it was true, and rushed to charge in order to win the victory, causing chaos in the whole army. Yang Xuangan took the opportunity to personally lead the elite cavalry to attack from the flanks, and Wei Xuanjun was defeated again and again in a daze.
What is different from the history is that because of the influence of Chen Yingliang, the monster moth's wings, the rebel army with nowhere to go back fought to the death when there was only one meal left. Not only did he defeat Wei Xuan's army in a big way, but he also simply kicked Wei Xuan's camp and grabbed Wei Xuan's few grain and grass. Wei Xuan, who was defeated like a mountain, was powerless They could only flee back to Weihan with some remnants of the defeated generals. Yang Xuangan personally led the main force in hot pursuit. He said that he would drive out Wei Xuan's remnants, and he would kill Daxing who was appointed by Emperor Sui Yang to stay behind. Wei Xuan created a favorable situation in which the Daxing in Guanzhong had no leader.
The following situation was the same as Chen Yingliang's analysis. In order to ensure that Wei Xuan's defeated army was wiped out, Yang Xuangan took away almost all the main soldiers, leaving only a large number of second and third line troops to clean up the battlefield and rush to build dry food for the former army. Although the rear army has a large force, its combat effectiveness is generally not strong, and the person in charge of commanding these rear troops is Li Mi, the military adviser of the rebel army.
Yang Xuangan himself had a lot of trust in Li Mi, but unfortunately his third brother Yang Xuanting didn't think so. After hearing the news, Yang Xuangan, who led the army to guard against the Luoyang army's reinforcements, immediately returned to the army from the eastern front, and took over the rear army without any explanation. Command power, master all affairs of the rear army. In this regard, Li Mi, who knew that Yang Xuanting didn't trust him, just smiled and accepted Yang Xuanting's command without saying a word of nonsense.
In the setting sun, the Mangshan battlefield is full of devastation, and the yellow-brown land is strewn with corpses. The corpses are almost all soldiers of the Sui army in regular uniforms, and the rebel auxiliary soldiers in messy clothes are walking happily among the piles of corpses, collecting everything as much as possible. Usable materials, collected weapons, banners and armor piled up like mountains on the battlefield. On the other side of the luggage mountain, there are thousands of prisoners of the Sui army kneeling on the ground with their heads in their hands. These prisoners of war are all downcast, and all of them have dejected faces. The rebel soldiers had no intention of resisting at all.
Without hesitation, Yang Xuanting assigned himself the lucrative task of cleaning the battlefield. In addition to commanding the army to collect the supplies left by the Sui army, Yang Xuanting also arranged for a large number of confidant generals to recruit the troops of the Sui army and expand as quickly as possible. The rebel army was so busy that Yang Xuanting kicked out trivial tasks such as counting food and grass, rescuing wounded soldiers, and making food and dry food to Li Mi, the military adviser. Moved the office to the already scattered Wei Xuan army camp, while urging the soldiers to make meals as soon as possible, while personally leading the team to collect as much official documents and letters as possible that Wei Xuan couldn't take away, and searched for useful information on military aircraft.
Fan Zigai's handwritten letter to Wei Xuan fell into Li Mi's hands, and Li Mi broke into a cold sweat all of a sudden—because if Wei Xuan chose to stick to the rebels according to Fan Zigai's tactical suggestion, then he would not be able to fight the rebels. In two days, the outcome of this battle may be reversed!
Just at this time, the rebel soldiers found a middle-aged man in official uniform in the debris pile of the Sui army camp, quickly took him down, and brought him in front of Li Mi. Li Mi, who had served as the Qianniu of the East Palace in the Daxing Imperial City, looked at the person carefully, and was immediately delighted, because this middle-aged man was none other than Pang Yu, one of Wei Xuan's right-hand men.
"Pang Da, are you here?" Li Mi said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a few years, and it seems that Da Da has been promoted again. I'm so happy, so happy!"
"Bah! Traitor!"
Pang Yu spit thick phlegm directly on Li Mi's face with a strong backbone. The rebel soldiers escorting Pang Yu were furious and immediately punched Pang Yu, but Li Mi wiped the thick phlegm off his face politely and smiled. Said: "Okay, don't fight anymore, Pang Zhige was unfortunately captured and angry, it's normal to act out of line, just let him calm down."
Only then did the rebel soldiers stop, and Pang Yu, who was already bruised and swollen, tried to stand up straight, and roared at Li Mi: "Li Mi, you traitor who betrayed the Lord and ungrateful, you will die! If you have the guts, kill me, Ben Officials are loyal to the country, die well, have no complaints or regrets! But you and Yang Xuangan rebels don’t even think about what will happen to you, sooner or later, the imperial army will capture you alive and put you to death!"
"I hope there will be such a day." Li Mi smiled confidently, and said: "Pang Zhige, don't say anything unnecessary, are you willing to follow Duke Chu to overthrow the tyrant Yang Guang?"
"Bah! Dreaming!" Pang Yu spat out another mouthful of thick phlegm.
"Pang Da people, don't be so stubborn." Li Mi persuaded with a smile: "Wei Wensheng led an army of 40,000 to rescue Luoyang, and the entire army was wiped out in just two battles, and even the camp was taken by us. The army of the Duke is sharp and unstoppable, and it is easy to overthrow the tyrant Yang Guang. The people's will is what the general trend is. Pang Da people are smart people. Haven't you heard the saying that those who defy the sky will perish and those who follow the sky will prosper? "
"Bah!" Pang Yu spat again, and said bitterly: "It's a fluke, what's the point? If it weren't for the cowardly gangsters in Luoyang who didn't dare to send troops to flank you and drag us down, you would have won too." Beat my Great Sui officer army?"
"Speaking of this, there is a cruel fact that must be told to Pang Daren." Li Mi smiled and held up Fan Zigai's letter, and said: "Pang Dao, it's not Fan Zigai who is holding you back, it's you who are holding you back." Fan Zigai's hind legs are right. As Fan Zigai analyzed and guessed, we really don't have much food and grass. If we didn't attack your camp today and seize your army food and grass, we would be hungry tomorrow morning. Already!"
"What?!" Pang Yu, who had personally experienced this incident from beginning to end, was shocked and blurted out, "You will have to run out of food tomorrow morning?"
"That's right." Li Mi said with a smile: "Fan Zigai is worthy of being left behind in the Eastern Capital. He is really capable. He sent troops to rob our grain team, and dug up and destroyed our grain transportation roads. Our grain and grass are completely useless." Ship it in time, if you don’t go out for a decisive battle today and continue to take the defensive position with deep trenches and high forts, then we will have to run out of food tomorrow morning.”
"Then what is the grain and grass that you transported yesterday?" Pang Yu asked in disbelief.
"That was my clever plan." Li Mi said with a smile, "After receiving the news that the grain and grass were robbed and the food road was cut off the day before yesterday, I sent an army out of the camp quietly the night before yesterday to ambush in a remote place ten miles away. Then fill the sacks with soil and grass, dress them up as grain carts, and swagger them into our camp in broad daylight. As a result, you have been fooled into thinking that our grain and grass are sufficient, and you will die if you consume them. You can’t wait. go out and fight us."
When Li Mi said a word, Pang Yu's eyes widened, and finally they were bigger than bull's eyes. After being dumbfounded for a long time, Pang Yu suddenly raised his head to the sky and roared, "I didn't expect that kid Chen Yingliang to be right! I was wrong!" I was wrong! I killed the imperial court’s 20,000 army, I killed the imperial court’s 20,000 army!”
"Chen Yingliang?!" Li Mi's expression changed when he heard the name for the second time, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Chen Yingliang? Is that the kid who scolded Duke Chu on the city wall, so that Duke Chu almost died in vain?"
Pang Yu, who was emotionally excited, of course would not answer Li Mi's question, but just beat his chest like crazy, remorseful to the extreme for his disobedience, and after Li Mi's repeated questioning to no avail, the expression on his face gradually became solemn, tossing and turning in his mind It was the same question, "Is it really the same person? Impossible, I saw the boy's appearance clearly at the time, and he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, how could it be the same person?"
At this time, another messenger from the rebel army came into the account, and said to Li Mi: "Reporting to the army, General Yang Jishan sent a cavalry to escort a master Qian from Liaodong to visit the Duke of Chu. He said it was a confidential event and good news. You must report to Duke Chu face to face that General Yang Xuanting is giving lectures to the captives, and he has no time to spare, so please come and receive him, military advisor."
"Master Qian from Liaodong?" Li Mi was a little confused. He couldn't remember any important minister surnamed Qian beside Emperor Sui Yang, but since Yang Xuanting had explained, the people from Liaodong must have brought important news about Emperor Sui Yang, so Li Mi He didn't dare to be negligent, and told the soldiers to take good care of Pang Yu not to abuse him, and then led a group of confidant soldiers out of the tent, and went to the gate of the camp to meet the important minister surnamed Qian.
Li Mi hurried to the camp gate where even the gate and fence had been smashed to pieces, looked down condescendingly, and saw a troop of cavalry carrying his own flag trotting up the hill, the number was about seven or eight hundred, They were equipped with high-quality weapons and armor, and they looked like fine cavalry from the rebel army from Jinyong City. Li Mi couldn't help being a little confused, and secretly said: "There are only 1,340 cavalry in Jinyong City, why did Yang Jishan send so many cavalry in one go? My lord, what is it about? Can the brothers of the Yang family attach so much importance to it?"
In doubt, the rebel cavalry trotted in front of Li Mi and the others. Several rebel generals moved away a little, letting out a middle-aged man in casual clothes. Armored, with a good manner, bowed his hands to Li Mi very politely on the horse and said: "Dare to ask this lord, but is Li Mi Li Junshi? The last general is surnamed Chen, and he is an eagle general under General Yang Jishan. He was ordered to escort Lord Qian to come. Greetings to Duke Chu."
Hearing this familiar hearty voice, and seeing this vaguely familiar handsome young face, Li Mi's legs began to tremble...
…
In fact, even Chen Yingliang did not expect that his strategy of fishing in troubled waters would be so smooth. He led the Baoguo army disguised as a rebel team all the way westward. It was also after reaching the edge of the Mangshan battlefield where corpses were strewn across the field, that a rebel general led a bodyguard team to stop the Nationalist Army, and asked Chen Yingliang affectionately about his identity.
After talking about the nonsense that he was sent by Yang Jishan, the rebel general not only did not become suspicious, but also took the initiative to lead Chen Yingliang to meet Yang Xuanting, knowing that there must be elite rebels around Yang Xuanting, of course Chen Yingliang would not do it, so he politely declined. The kindness of the general of the rebel army, and then led the team of the Nationalist Army into the Mangshan battlefield in a grand manner.
This is an unbelievable scene. The patriotic army team with less than 800 people held their heads high and swaggered among the rebel teams all over the mountains and plains, like a small boat floating in the vast ocean. The soldiers of the national defense army were so nervous that they were sweating profusely, and their hands and feet were shaking. However, the tens of thousands of rebel soldiers did not know that the enemy was around them. Most of them were busy with their work, either transporting wounded soldiers, or stripping off military uniforms and collecting weapons. Only a very small number of rebel soldiers When the soldiers went to pay attention to the Nationalist Army, their eyes were full of envy for the horse armor of the Nationalist Army, and they only hated that they could not ride such a horse and wear such armor.
It cannot be said that the rebel army is too stupid, nor can it be said that the luck of serving the national army is too good, but Chen Yingliang is too crazy. During the day, their own team swaggering on the battlefield would actually be disguised as officers and soldiers.
What is even more unbelievable is that after seeing the Nationalist Army from a distance, Yang Xuanting, who was reorganizing and surrendering troops, sent his own soldiers to ask the identity of the Nationalist Army, but he still did not have the slightest suspicion, and directly ordered that the Nationalist Army Junqian went to meet Li Mi at the Weixuan army camp, and planned to finish reorganizing the captives before dark, so as not to have to continue to work hard when the sky was completely dark at night—to be honest, Yang Xuanting’s decision was stupid, but he saved his life, at least He didn't go to meet Chen Yingliang in person, and he didn't give the black-hearted Captain Chen a chance to capture the thief first.
After receiving the order from Yang Xuanting's personal soldiers, Chen Yingliang couldn't help his heart beating no matter how good his mental quality was, because Chen Yingliang suddenly discovered that a delicious and juicy meat pie had fallen from the sky, and he just had to continue pretending to be a rebel team. , it is possible to capture the unrivaled hero Li Mi alive or hack him to death on the spot! So Chen Yingliang repeatedly sent orders in a low voice, ordering the soldiers of the nationalist army who were already extremely nervous to continue to endure, and not to act rashly to expose their identities.
Leading the Bao Guojun trot all the way to the gate of the Weixuan army camp on the mountain, Chen Yingliang saw at a glance a man in a Confucian robe leading a dozen or so rebel soldiers to meet him in front of the gate. , the smile was very kind, Chen Yingliang had never seen Li Mi before and didn't know if it was him, so he cupped his hands to the man in the Confucian robe and said, "Dare to ask this lord, is Li Mi Li Junshi? The last general's surname is Chen, and he is the eagle under General Yang Jishan Commander, ordered to escort Lord Qian to visit Duke Chu."
The Confucian robed man smiled, smiled, cupped his hands and said: "General Chen has misidentified him. My surname is Yang. He is just a small secretary in Chu Gong's army. The military commander is interrogating the prisoners in the central army's tent and cannot come out to greet him. Then send villains out to meet him."
"Oh, that's right." Chen Yingliang cursed secretly for his bad luck, then cupped his hands to the Confucian robed man and said, "Yang Shuban, how about you lead the way?"
"Of course." The man in the Confucian robe smiled and stepped aside to get out of the way, and said, "Please, General Chen, just go straight to the Chinese army camp."
"Thank you." Chen Yingliang bowed his hand to return the salute, and unceremoniously rode his horse towards the camp. The soldiers of the Nationalist Army followed closely, and the man in the Confucian robe followed with a smile.
Seeing from a distance that the fence of Wei Xuanjun's camp of the Chinese army had been completely destroyed in the battle, and the road leading to the big camp of the Chinese army was already flat, Chen Yingliang was determined and bowed to Guo Feng and Chen Zhihong next to him. He ordered the whole army to prepare, and when the order was conveyed, Chen Yingliang suddenly drew his sword in his hand, pointed at the large tent of the Chinese army and shouted: "Brothers, do it, rush in! Kill!"
"Kill!" The soldiers of the Nationalist Army who had waited impatiently for a long time yelled like thunder, and followed Chen Yingliang's side to charge. Dumbfounded, I didn't figure out what happened for a long time.
Only one person in the rebel army remained awake. Seeing Chen Yingliang draw his sword, the Confucian robed man ran away without saying a word, roaring hysterically in his heart while running, "This kid is a lunatic! A lunatic! Genius lunatic! In broad daylight, he dared to pretend to be our team and sneak here, and almost hacked me to death! God! Oh earth! How can there be a genius crazier than me in this world?!"
The man in the Confucian robe was roaring hysterically in his heart, and Chen Yingliang soon roared hysterically in the big tent of the Chinese army left behind by Wei Xuan. In front of the big tent of the army, the sword and ax were in full swing, smashing the rebel soldiers guarding in front of the tent in the blink of an eye, and after rushing into the big tent of the Chinese army without hesitation, the first thing Chen Yingliang did was to yell, "Li Mi!" Son, take your life!"
"Chen Jishi? Why are you?!"
The answer to Chen Yingliang was Pang Yu's unbelievable yell of surprise, and several stunned rebel soldiers. Guo Feng and Chen Ci, two fierce men, went up without saying a word, and when they went up, they fell with knives and sticks. The rebel soldiers who hadn't reacted hacked to death and smashed them to death, and rescued Pang Yu who was under their custody. As soon as Pang Yu was freed, he immediately threw himself into Chen Yingliang's arms and cried bitterly, "Chen Jishi, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry. I shouldn't speak ill of you, I shouldn't believe you!"
"Pang Da, what can I say later?" Chen Yingliang cut the rope for Pang Yu while asking, "Where's the traitor Li Mi? Isn't he here to interrogate you?"
"Li Mi is a traitor?" Pang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "He just went out, and he went to meet Mr. Qian from Liaodong. He just left not long ago."
Finally it was Chen Yingliang's turn to be stunned. After finally recovering, Chen Yingliang's hysterical roar echoed in the camp left by Wei Xuan, "Traitor! Slut! I've been fooled! That black-faced man just now That bitch is Li Mi!!"
