Chapter 185: The Fierce General Sets the Heart of the Army
Just as there was a lot of discussion in Kyoto and was shrouded in the crisis, another 800 miles were reported quickly the next afternoon, but this time it was a good news!
"Huangya Pass wiped out 20,000 pioneer cavalry in the Khitan!"
"Huangya Pass wiped out 20,000 pioneer cavalry in the Khitan!"
The cavalry shouted good news and rode their horses towards the direction of the imperial city.
When the news came out, the people of Kyoto were cheering.
Shi Wansui, who was staying in the Ministry of War, hurriedly received the victory and entered the palace.
The Emperor of Sui was frowning because of the border war. Now that he suddenly heard the good news, he was naturally very happy. What was even happier was that Huangyaguan was fine.
"Hou Wenshan is really the humerus of the Great Sui Dynasty. Not only did he see through the conspiracy of the traitor, but he also used the trick to use the plan to invite you to get into the trap and wiped out 20,000 Khitan cavalry with very little losses! Well done! Well done! Huangya Pass is guarded, and the troops and horses of Yingyang Mansion behind him cannot be replenished. Huangya Pass must be as solid as a soup!" The Emperor of Sui smiled.
Shi Wansui hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Huangya Pass is safe. Even if the Khitan is arrogant, it will be difficult to become a climate!"
"We must reward you very much! I will never be stingy with rewards!" After the Sui Emperor said that, he couldn't help but say angrily: "There are also Jizhou Governor Du Xiao and others who colluded with foreign enemies and were extremely guilty. I want to execute them to death!"
"Your Majesty! There must be someone behind the governor of Jizhou Du Xiao, but the military newspaper did not explain it. The Weichen felt that he could take the prisoners back to Kyoto first and interrogate them strictly, so that they could give the people behind the scenes to serve as a warning!" Shi Wansui said.
The Emperor Sui nodded and immediately arranged an order to issue an order to Gao Yang, and sent the imperial guards to Huangya Pass to take Du Xiao and others back to Kyoto.
Now the Emperor of Sui can breathe a sigh of relief. At least the inner barrier can be safe and sound. Next, it only needs to pacify the outside of the barrier. It is only a matter of time before it can be recovered.
The only thing to worry about is King Ming. What is the situation in Songmo City now?
...
At this time, 50,000 Sui soldiers were still stationed outside Songmo City.
Because the Khitan soldiers used the old and young of the Sui Dynasty as shields, Gong Xuesong, the Marquis of Zhenbei, did not order the attack, but instead surrounded him and consumed the food and grass in Songmo City, and distributed 30,000 troops to join the previous 20,000 troops, and reorganized 50,000 troops to attack Fuyu City in Khitan.
As time went by, there was indeed a shortage of food and grass in Songmo City, and the Khitans in the city began to move.
So Gong Xuesong, the Marquis of Zhenbei, immediately summoned all the generals to discuss: "The food and grass in the city should be exhausted, and the Khitan will surely die when he continues to defend the city. So I concluded that the Khitan must withdraw its troops and will choose a breakout! So we need to create a state of relaxing vigilance, especially the East Gate, deliberately relaxing vigilance and let the Khitan evacuate from the East Gate! Once they leave the city, there will be no hostages and no solid protection of the city walls. Next we can annihilate the other side!"
"Yes!" The general immediately took the order and began to arrange it.
Yang Shuang also returned to her tent and called everyone.
"It seems that Gong Xuesong is going to take action!" Yang Shuang said in a deep voice.
Luo Cheng, Luo Yi and others nodded together, among which Luo Cheng said: "I secretly left the camp and found out the situation of the Turkic soldiers and horses. They are all brave cavalry, with a population of 15,000 to 20,000. They are definitely the elite of the Eastern Turks. They are hiding in the mountains fifteen miles away from us. They can be said to be close to each other! When we fight with the Khitan soldiers, the Turks will immediately surround them, and the result can be imagined."
Han Qinhu hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I will escort you out of the camp tonight. Your safety is important!"
Yang Shuang shook her head and said, "I naturally understand this principle for a gentleman not to stand a dangerous wall, but if I leave, how can these 50,000 soldiers go? These soldiers are the sons of our Great Sui Dynasty. They did not surrender to foreign thieves. How could I watch them die?"
Han Qinhu still wanted to persuade him, and Yang Shuang continued: "No need to persuade him. I am not reckless. I have the protection of the imperial guards. In addition, General Luo's eighteen cavalry of Yan Yun, I still have the ability to save my life. And it is not certain who loses and wins in this battle."
"Yes!" Han Qinhu was not persuading.
......
Two days later, the gloomy weather suddenly became sunny.
According to Gong Xuesong's arrangement, the Sui soldiers pretended to be slack. Xiao Guang, the Khitan general in the city, noticed this situation and immediately got the signal.
It's time to start!
So Xiao Guang rectified the army in the city, and in the early morning, he suddenly opened the East City Gate and rushed towards the Sui army camp.
"Marty, the Khitan soldiers were indeed trapped, they killed them!" A general reported to Gong Xuesong, the Marquis of Zhenbei.
Gong Xuesong immediately ordered someone to beat the drum, so that the soldiers in the military camp would quickly resolve the situation. He set up a formation in front of the camp and prepared to fight against the Khitan army that was rushing over.
As the two sides were getting closer and closer, the Khitan soldiers set up arrow formations and rushed towards the Sui soldiers. Gong Xuesong ordered people to wave the formation flags and set up a square formation to fight.
Just as the two sides are about to confront each other.
A sudden change occurred in the Sui army camp!
Several generals led the army were ambushing the dead soldiers. The dead soldiers suddenly took action and assassinated five generals. This scene happened so quickly that the Sui soldiers who were waiting to respond to the enemy were dumbfounded.
Immediately afterwards, the flag bearer responsible for the evolution of the formation and the commander who passed the orders in the army were also attacked. In an instant, the entire army had no heads and lost their eyes.
And at this time, the Khitan had already rushed up.
"kill!"
The Khitan soldiers waved their long swords and roared, their faces ferociously.
The Sui soldiers who were fighting in the front quickly fired crossbows and arrows, and launched a counterattack in panic.
The war officially begins!
Although the Khitan troops were as strong as the Sui soldiers, they were aggressive and had extremely fierce attacks. On the other hand, the Sui soldiers were originally confident, but their morale was disrupted because of the assassination of their respective generals.
At this moment, the sound of retreating drums sounded from behind, and he was about to retreat!
This is naturally Gong Xuesong's masterpiece. He asked the dead soldiers to kill the generals in charge first, and then the commander and the flag bearer. The result was that the army became blind. Then, when the two sides confronted each other, they let their people call out the gold and withdraw their troops.
The Sui soldiers who were still fighting were still suddenly withdrawn, and the confrontation of the troops was confused all of a sudden, but the military orders were as high as a mountain and they dared not to obey, so many soldiers retreated, but there were still soldiers fighting, so the Sui soldiers' camp became even more chaotic, making a bunch of porridge.
As the president, Gong Xuesong is easy to mess up the entire army!
As the Sui soldiers fell into chaos, the Khitan soldiers became more arrogant and rushed in completely.
And this was just the beginning. With the chaos of the battlefield, the hidden Turks finally came over. The 20,000 Turkic cavalry were like a torrent, from far to near, with a surging momentum.
When the Khitan soldiers saw the reinforcements coming, they were so excited that they waved their weapons and shouted.
On the other hand, the Sui army, which had already been in chaos and had no formation, lost its morale and had no courage to fight at all, and began to be defeated.
Seeing the Turks coming, Gong Xuesong knew that the situation had come true, and he led his confidant back to the camp to capture Yang Shuang. He was going to capture Yang Shuang alive and handed it over to the Turkish general Corgida.
However, after entering the military camp, I saw that Yang Shuang was already waiting for him.
Beside Yang Shuang were Han Qinhu, Luo Yi, Luo Cheng and others, followed by the Eighteen Cavalry, and then there were more than 200 elite imperial guards.
"Marquis Zhenbei, I have been waiting for a long time." Yang Shuang said with a smile.
Gong Xuesong frowned. He didn't expect Yang Shuang to wait for him here, so he led his troops over and said with a smile: "Your Highness, the Khitan and the Turks colluded with us and planned on us. We have been defeated. Let Weichen escort Your Highness away from here."
"Tsk tsk...you still have to pretend now!" Yang Shuang said sarcastically: "Gong Xuesong, who is the master behind you? For his sake, you betrayed Your Majesty's reward to you and personally sacrificed the lives of so many big Sui Erlang!"
Gong Xuesong immediately put away the compliment on his face and said in surprise: "How did you know?"
"If you don't know anyone, don't do it yourself, do you think your conspiracy is unknown? Also, I tell you that Huangya Pass will not be lost! The conspiracy between you and Du Xiao and others will fail!" Yang Shuang reminded.
At this moment, Gong Xuesong, who thought he was sure to win, changed his face and shouted: "Impossible!"
"There is nothing impossible! Hou Wenshan has captured Du Xiao who was attacking the sneak attack and wiped out 20,000 pioneer cavalry from the Khitan! The follow-up military association of the Great Sui Dynasty went to Huangya Pass and protected it as solid as a soup." Yang Shuang said.
Gong Xuesong said angrily: "We have no choice but to fail! Don't be sarcastic here! Catch him for someone!"
Hundreds of soldiers behind him immediately drew their swords and rushed towards Yang Shuang.
Yang Shuang's face remained unchanged, while the imperial guards and eighteen cavalry behind her met her.
Although Gong Xuesong's military strength is much twice that of Yang Shuang, his combat power is not at the same level. Especially the Eighteen Cavalry, Luo Cheng and Luo Yi are the most ferocious and cannot get close to them at all.
When Gong Xuesong saw this scene, he immediately asked someone to continue attacking. He would not give up until he caught Yang Shuang, and shouted: "Yang Shuang, just surrender, you can't escape!"
"Who said I want to escape? If I wanted to escape, I would have left long ago." Yang Shuang sneered.
Then, Gong Xuesong actually came with a knife and shouted angrily: "Since you don't escape, then die here!"
Han Qinhu immediately stepped forward and stopped Gong Xuesong.
"Rebel! Today I want to avenge the soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty who died tragically!" Han Qinhu showed a ferocious face, and the hatred in his heart made his attack extremely fierce.
Gong Xuesong thinks he is very skilled in martial arts, but after all, he has been a marquis for so many years and has not personally fought for the enemy for many years. How could he be Han Qinhu's opponent?
After a few moves, Gong Xuesong fell into the lower line.
Originally, he thought he could kill Yang Shuang himself, but he didn't expect that he would fail. After Gong Xuesong continued to fight with Han Qinhu for several rounds, he did not dare to fight and retreated immediately.
When he looked at his subordinates, he was almost killed. He was not a match for Luo Cheng, Luo Yi and others.
At this moment, Gong Xuesong's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly fled out of the camp with the remaining people and fled towards the Khitan and Turkic direction.
Yang Shuang led his chasing out of the camp and saw that the soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty were seriously injured and the entire camp was in chaos. The Khitan and the Turks were like entering an uninhabited state, killing the soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty into the grass.
Yang Shuang did not ask Han Qinhu to chase Gong Xuesong, but ordered them to enter the battlefield and rectify the camp.
More than 200 imperial guards immediately acted as commanders, holding military flags, rushed into the battlefield, and the imperial guards also beat drums, yelling the drums.
"Boom boom boom..."
The rapid drum sounded on the battlefield. The Sui soldiers who were fighting in chaos heard the drum sound. The panicked morale was immediately calmed down and began to move closer to the back according to the drum sound and shrink their camp.
At the same time, the imperial guard acted as the commander wandered on the battlefield and shouted loudly: "Your Highness the King of Ming has an order. Those who fled without fighting will be killed! Those who do not obey the order will be killed!"
"Your Highness the King of Ming has an order. Those who flee without fighting will be killed! Those who do not obey the order will be killed!"
Everything is a rule, and only with rules can one be square.
With the order, the Sui soldiers who were defeated on the whole line immediately had the backbone, retreating while gathering their formation.
But this is not enough!
The morale of the army has been disintegrated, and even if the formation is rectified, the morale of the army is still panicked.
At this moment, Han Qinhu, Luo Yi, Luo Cheng and the Eighteen Cavalry took off.
They were all brave generals, and they were like tigers fighting for food when facing Khitan and Turkic soldiers.
Han Qinhu used a big knife, and the big knife swept across it, like a strong wind sweeping the fallen leaves. With him as the center, no one approached within four meters, because all the nearby thieves were killed under the horse.
Luo Yi used a spear! Although he was not tall, he was born with divine power. A long spear was extremely powerful, just like a poisonous snake. Wherever he passed, he would be killed.
Luo Cheng used a gun, which was not as powerful as Han Qinhu and as fierce as Luo Yi, but it was extremely flexible, and each stab was accurate, and the spear tassels were stained with blood.
As for the Eighteen Cavalry, with the cooperation between them, the full moon scimitar is full of souls!
Chapter completed!
