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

Chapter 72: The decisive battle with Yang Xuangan (Part 2)

Views:

For both sides in the war, the most critical moment came at the same time. Taking advantage of Chen Yingliang's repeated tricks and dispatching a large number of Sui troops to the flanks, Yang Xuangan quickly dispatched 2,000 cavalry to attack, supplemented by 2,000 infantry as the rear. , led by himself, directly attacked the weakest frontal line of defense of the Sui army's tortoise formation, determined to deal a fatal blow to the Sui army from the front, and completely destroy the shameless tortoise formation under Chen Yingliang!

After the team was assembled, as usual in field battles, Yang Xuangan, who was known as Little Xiang Yu, was wearing heavy armor and holding his spear, and stood at the forefront of the rebel team one after another. Yue's rebel cavalry team shouted, "Soldiers, overthrow the tyrant, relieve the suffering of the people in the world, enter the Guanzhong, join forces with Yuan Hongsi, and have already fought here! Follow me! Target, the flag formation of officers and soldiers! Kill! !"

Roaring, Yang Xuangan pinched the horse with his spear, and once again took the lead in charging towards the tortoise formation of the Sui army. Behind him, two thousand rebel cavalry roared in unison, and galloped with their horses together. Like a flood breaking a bank, there is no going forward. The 2,000 rebel infantry in the back also shouted in unison, and ran wildly together, like a rushing tide, with unparalleled momentum.

At the same time, in the rebel flag formation, Li Mi, who didn't really believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, was so nervous that he put his palms together and prayed in his mouth, "Emperor Queen, the gods of the past, please make sure that Duke Chu succeeds in this attack. Destroy the ranks of officers and soldiers in one fell swoop. Otherwise, my hundred thousand righteous soldiers will be in danger..."

In the shelter behind the rebel flag array, the old general Li Zixiong, who took off his pants and squatted, was also moaning, "Listen to the sound, Duke Chu is already leading the charge in person, why haven't you finished pulling this reincarnation of the five grains, old man?" ? It seems that the old man is really old, and after entering Guanzhong, he will have to take a few less concubines."

At the same time, on the battlefield of the fierce battle, seeing the rebel cavalry brigade finally charging towards the front of the Sui Army, the rebel troops who were attacking the two wings of the Sui Army's phalanx suddenly cheered like thunder, their morale was immediately boosted, and they became more brave during the charge. ferocious. The Sui army was terrified. Under the fear, the army was shaken, and their positions suddenly panicked. The rebels took the opportunity to attack and pushed back a lot of distance. The biggest psychological dependence on the anti-horse fence was also destroyed by the rebels. Many times, the situation of the battle quickly developed towards the most unfavorable melee combat direction for the Sui army.

The most nervous one was the Sui Army team in front of the Sui Army Square Formation. Seeing a large number of rebel cavalry coming head-on, these Sui Army soldiers who bore the brunt were all sweating nervously, and even the arms holding the bowstring were trembling. The soldiers of the Sui army who were holding their guns sideways on the fence were even more nervous. If there was not a horse-proof fence in front of them that could barely withstand the impact of the rebel cavalry, some of these soldiers of the Sui army must have been unable to bear such a huge pressure. In extreme terror, he dropped his weapon and fled for his life.

Chen Yingliang, who is proficient in psychology, naturally expected the fearful reaction of these Sui soldiers. Seeing that the rebel cavalry was only four hundred steps away from the fence line, Chen Yingliang did not hesitate, and immediately shouted: "Order the former army!" Five teams, spread out left and right, and give way to Yang Ni cavalry to charge!"

The messengers of the Sui Army, who were served by the soldiers of the Baoguo Army, rushed to the five Sui Army teams in front without hesitation, shouting to convey Chen Yingliang's orders. Wei Xuan, who rode alongside Chen Yingliang, was scared out of his wits and shouted at Chen Yingliang: "Are you crazy? Tell our soldiers to give way to Yang Ni's cavalry?"

"Wei stayed behind, what would you think if it was you who saw the enemy in front of you suddenly spread out to give you a way to charge?" Chen Yingliang asked calmly.

"Me?" Wei Xuan froze, hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "I will worry about a trap, so I will order to slow down and see the situation clearly."

"Isn't this the end?" Chen Yingliang replied with a smile: "With a fence half the height of a person, how could the five dismantled teams in front of us stop so many rebel cavalry from charging? Instead of letting our soldiers Sacrifice in vain, it is better to get out of the way, let Yang Xuangan rush directly in front of us, and have a decisive battle with us!"

The dumbfounded Wei Xuan couldn't understand Chen Yingliang's thinking mode. After receiving Chen Yingliang's order, the five Sui army teams in front immediately cheered and fled to the left and right, giving way to the rebel cavalry. The road, a road that allows Yang Xuangan to directly kill Chen Yingliang. In this regard, the soldiers of the patriotic army standing in line had no fear, and continued to sing their loud and clear military song that came out a thousand years in advance, "... people look north, the grass is green and yellow, and the dust is flying. Da Sui wants to let Wanbang, come and congratulate!"

The loud military song echoed on the bloody battlefield, and Li Mi, the only one worthy to be Chen Yingliang's opponent, screamed in the rebel flag formation, "Give way? How did the officers and soldiers take the initiative to give way? Is there really a trap? What kind of trap is it?" ? Duke Chu, you must be careful!"

"Why did you get out of the way?" The old general Li Zixiong, who had just returned to the flag array with his pants up, also exclaimed, "It's unreasonable! It's impossible for an inexperienced general to command like this? Is there really a trap?! Ouch, old man This damn stomach, why is it hurting again?"

The one who was even more surprised was Yang Xuangan himself. Seeing the soldiers of the Sui army suddenly spread out from the front to the left and right, to give himself a way to enter and exit the formation, Yang Xuangan, who was less than two hundred steps away from the Sui army fence, was naturally shocked. He subconsciously reined in his horse Looking left and right, I'm afraid that the Sui army may have some kind of conspiracy, a real mechanism. But the rebel cavalry behind him didn't react so quickly. Most of the cavalry rushed directly in front of the Sui army fence, smashed a large section of the Sui army fence with knives and axes, and smashed a large section of the Sui army fence in a moment.

The fence was quickly smashed, and the rebel cavalry's charging footsteps inevitably stopped. Yang Xuangan took the opportunity to shout an order, ordering the cavalry to stop charging and regroup, and at the same time urged the horses to trot to the fence. Under the protection of the shield, check the situation of the Sui army.

There is no conspiracy, nor any tunnel mechanism. On the road leading to the position of the Nationalist Army singing the loud military song, there are only three tripping ropes blocking the road. The Sui army soldiers who blocked the road before They all retreated to the distance on both sides of the road, looking palely at the two thousand rebel cavalry in the distance.

"There's no trap?" Yang Xuangan was confused and confused to the extreme, and at the same time, a strong desire to defecate welled up in his heart, making Yang Xuangan, who had no fear in the face of thousands of troops, couldn't help frowning, He secretly scolded himself for pointing his back, but he wanted to show respect when he went into battle.

"Duke Chu, there seems to be no ambush?" The guard beside him also said, "What should we do? Shall we go in?"

"The enemy's actions are abnormal, be careful." Yang Xuangan thought for a while, and then ordered with an increasingly strong desire: "Talk forward, and be ready to meet the enemy at any time."

The order was delivered, and the rebel cavalry trotted forward immediately, surrounded by Yang Xuangan, and ran cautiously towards the position of the Baoguo Army, always vigilant against the Sui soldiers on both sides of the road, and those Sui soldiers backed back with pale faces. I don't know how to deal with the current situation.

At the same time in the Sui army flag formation, Li Mi's little black face also turned pale with tension. He was extremely worried about Yang Xuangan's safety, and he didn't know what kind of medicine Chen Yingliang was selling in his gourd. He could only ask Li Zixiong for help, "Mr. Li General, you have a lot of experience, in your opinion, what the hell is Chen Yingliang doing?"

"This... I don't know, I don't know. I have been fighting in the South and North for forty years, and I have never met..." General Li did not rely on the old to sell the old once, but before he finished his modest words, General Li said I couldn't help but took off my pants and squatted down, screaming: "Hurry up and get some shields to cover the old man, ouch, the old man has diarrhea, I can't help the diarrhea. Damn, the old man didn't eat anything, how could it be?" Sudden diarrhea...?"

Hearing General Li's painful groans, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a puddle of yellow water spewing from the back of General Li's buttocks. Li Mi gloated a little at first, and then his whole body shook suddenly, and blurted out: "Crotou! Could it be Croton? ?!"

"Crotou?!" Old General Li, who was moaning in pain, raised his head in shock. Immediately afterwards, Old General Li, who was definitely not stupid, also came back to his senses, and screamed like a pig: "We've been tricked! We've all been tricked!" It’s a plan! The old man and Duke Chu just ate crotons in the wine and meat eaten by Chen Yingliang! Damn it! How can there be such a treacherous and shameless despicable thief in the world?!”

It was too late to realize that he had fallen for the trap, and Yang Xuangan had already led the rebel cavalry with a strong desire to trot to the three tripping ropes laid by the Baoguo Army himself. Chen Yingliang, who was also protected by a shield, was only left Forty steps away.

Almost at the same time, Chen Yingliang and Yang Xuangan each issued an order. Yang Xuangan ordered the soldiers to cut off the bridle rope and open the way forward. He shouted: "Yang Xuangan, I am Chen Yingliang, Chen Yingliang who killed your two younger brothers, and Chen Yingliang, the leader of the Great Sui Baoguo Army who burned your food and grass, come out and answer!"

As Chen Yingliang's white robe fluttered in the wind, Yang Xuangan came out more and more, pointing at Chen Yingliang with a spear and shouting loudly, "Little thief! I will kill your whole family and tear you to pieces for my second brother The fifth brother will take revenge!"

"Yang Xuangan! Rebel!" Wei Xuan also came to Chen Yingliang's side, pointing at Yang Xuangan with a knife and yelling in tears, "I want to avenge the 40,000 soldiers of Daxing, come here, I want to fight you to the death! "

"Hahahahaha!" Yang Xuangan looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, and laughed wildly: "Just because of you? Just because of Wei Xuan, you old and immortal tyrant lackey, you are also worthy of being with this Zhuguo..., ah! Ouch!"

Before the words of wild laughter were finished, Yang Xuangan couldn't help covering his belly and moaning, which surprised the rebel cavalry around him, and Wei Xuan was also tongue-tied. Only Chen Yingliang, who knew the truth, was secretly happy, knowing Yang Zhiji's tricks Fortunately, it worked, and Chen Yingliang immediately laughed wildly: "Yang Xuangan, how does the wine and meat that the reporter's office gave you taste like?"

Conscience of heaven and earth, Chen Yingliang really didn't intend to take the credit of Yang Zhiji this time, but said so to thank Yang Zhiji.

"What?!" Yang Xuangan's face turned ashen, pointing at Chen Yingliang and screaming: "You gave those wine and meat? Did you poison the wine and meat?"

"Don't worry, it's not poison." Chen Yingliang replied with a smile, "It's just a croton. If you have diarrhea a few times, it won't kill you."

Wei Xuan, who hated Yang Xuangan to the bone, laughed wildly, and the faces of all the rebel soldiers changed drastically, while Yang Xuangan was so angry that even his long beard on his chest turned up, one hand pointed at his painful abdomen with one hand, and the other pointed at him with a spear. Looking at Chen Yingliang, he cursed tremblingly, "Little thief! Treacherous little thief! Shameless, shameless!"

"I've had enough wine, it's time to give you some food to eat." Chen Yingliang smiled when he saw the three tripping ropes that the rebel soldiers had cut off, and suddenly shouted, "Brothers! Do it!"

"promise!"

The orderly voice of agreement also sounded suddenly, at the same time, twenty jugs emitting green smoke suddenly flew up from behind Chen Yingliang, carried a curl of green smoke over Chen Yingliang's head, rolled and drew twenty streaks in the sky In an arc shape, it hit Yang Xuangan's team head-to-head. Immediately afterwards, before Yang Xuangan and the rebel soldiers realized what was going on, the explosion of the gunpowder weapon also sounded on the battlefield of cold weapons more than six hundred years earlier. …

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The black powder grenade that Chen Yingliang hurriedly built was actually very primitive. Due to lack of experience, it was so rough that it could be said to be shoddy. The explosion happens to be near the vital points of the human body, otherwise it is almost impossible to be fatal. The most is to use the explosion sound and smoke to intimidate the enemy, and use the shock wave to slightly shock the enemy. The real lethality is pitifully small. but…

But this is enough, the explosion sound enough to shatter eardrums suddenly rang in my ears, this is the first time I have been hit by such a loud sound on the battlefield, even the most elite army of this era must be in chaos, and even What's more, the bones around Yang Xuangan are still a group of rebel soldiers

Amidst the rumbling explosion, the rebel soldiers around Yang Xuangan screamed, screamed and screamed, and suddenly became a mess. Taking advantage of this once-in-a-thousand-year precious opportunity, Chen Yingliang immediately pulled out the horizontal knife and shouted loudly: "Brothers! Kill! Capture Yang Xuangan alive! Kill!"

Yelling hysterically, Chen Yingliang kicked the horse's belly, and with the horse and knife raised, rushed towards the direction of Yang Xuangan's handsome flag. Almost kicked out of his eye sockets—Yang Xuangan, who was in gold helmet and armor, also rushed towards Chen Yingliang head-on, holding the spear in both hands, and the point of the spear pointed directly at Chen Yingliang's sinful chest!

In fact, Yang Xuangan really didn't intend to kill Chen Yingliang on purpose, but a primitive grenade happened to land beside him and exploded, startling the horse under his crotch that hadn't been deafened to run wildly, and was also shocked by the sound of the explosion. The stunned Yang Xuangan couldn't restrain the horse for a while because he was holding a spear with one hand and covering his belly with the other, so he was led straight towards Chen Yingliang by his own horse. And after recovering from the charge, Yang Xuangan, who had no time to rein in his horse, gritted his teeth, and simply stabbed the enemy with the flat end of his spear directly, using his own force to get out of the predicament—as for the enemy, Yang Xuangan didn't even have time to look at it. It is clear that it is Chen Yingliang, the brother-killing enemy!

Good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil. It’s not that there is no reward, the time has not yet come! The retribution of Chen Yingliang, who helped the evildoers and did many evils, finally came. After Chen Yingliang reacted to the situation, Yang Xuangan had rushed to less than three steps in front of him! And at the same time, Yang Xuangan, who was blessed by misfortune, was finally pleasantly surprised to see that the enemy charging straight ahead turned out to be his sworn enemy, Chen Yingliang! In ecstasy, Yang Xuangan immediately forgot the danger, the cramping pain in his lower abdomen, and everything else. He just used all his strength to stab out the spear in his hand with a mighty force, and stabbed straight at Chen Yingliang's sinful man. heart, roaring in the mouth...

"kill!"

The tip of the spear pierced through the air, and when this spear of justice was about to pierce Chen Yingliang's sinful chest, a man in white robe suddenly bumped into Chen Yingliang's body, knocking Chen Yingliang off his horse abruptly, and the broken spear The spear pierced by Kong pierced through the left chest of the man in white robe with the sound of gold and iron, spraying blood and passing through the chest.

Yang Xuangan's strength was so great that it not only pierced through the white-robed man's chest completely, but also until Yang Xuangan's hands clenched on the spear touched the white-robed man's chest. Immediately afterwards, what no one expected was that the white-robed man suddenly opened his hands, hugged Yang Xuangan's body, and forced Yang Xuangan to fall off the horse!

Immediately afterwards, countless men in white robes rushed forward, completely drowning Yang Xuangan and the man in white robes, and also blocked the rebel cavalry behind them. , "We caught Yang Xuangan! Captain Chen! Captain Chen!"

Being picked up from the ground by Guo Feng, Chen Yingliang didn't have time to think about other things, but rushed into the crowd with big strides. In the crowd, Yang Xuangan had already been pinned to the ground by six or seven soldiers of the Nationalist Army, and his feet were already dead. He was trampled by the soldiers of the Nationalist Army into a bend that only occurs when a bone is broken, but Chen Zhihong, one of Chen Yingliang's oldest lackeys, also fell into a pool of blood with a spear stuck in his left chest.

"Chen Zhihong!" Chen Yingliang burst into tears, threw himself on Chen Zhihong, hugged Chen Zhihong and cried loudly, "Why are you so stupid? So stupid?"

"Chen..., Chen Jishi, I..., we seized the opportunity, seized this unique opportunity." Chen Zhihong's lung was pierced, and his voice was weak when he spoke, with blood dripping from his mouth, which kept gushing out.

"Catch it! We seized this only opportunity!" Chen Yingliang cried bitterly.

The blood in Chen Zhihong's mouth continued to spurt, and his right hand was struggling to get into his arms, but his right hand was trembling, and he lost his strength when he stretched it halfway. Chen Yingliang was a little puzzled, but Chen Yingliang's other old lackey, Guo Feng, was familiar with Chen Zhihong, so he stretched out his hand without saying a word. In Chen Zhihong's arms, he took out a goose yellow sachet, which was already stained with Chen Zhihong's blood.

Guo Feng put the sachet into Chen Zhihong's hand, Chen Zhihong pressed the sachet but did not take it away, and said to Guo Feng in a weak voice: "Old Guo, take this to Sister Feng and tell her that I have tried my best. If you want, Marry Sister Feng for me, take care of her for me, take care of her, she is beautiful..."

With difficulty and weak words, Chen Zhihong once again gushed out a stream of blood, tilted his head, and left this world forever when he was only one step away from going home to marry his beloved lover. Chen Yingliang, Guo Feng and other soldiers of the Nationalist Army all around burst into tears. Standing behind Chen Yingliang, Wei Xuan was also in tears, muttering: "I finally understand why this white-robed soldier has never been defeated. .”
