Later, some Yang You got more detailed information. Yexian Shoujiang was a pseudo-Zheng Duanda. This person used to be a big Sui Zuo Xiao general. Now the pseudo-Zheng official Stuart Jue named Chen Wang as Wang Shichong’s most trusted confidant. According to the intelligence section, there are more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city. So many soldiers in Sui Jun must pay a huge price if they want to storm. Moreover, Yexian has been reinforced by Wang Shichong for half a year, and the city is tall and thick, which can not be taken away in a moment.
After getting this information, Yang You immediately called his ministers to discuss the good strategy of conquering Ye County.
Qiu Hanggong and Hou Jun recognized that although Ye County was heavily guarded, the city was heavily garrisoned, but Zheng Bing’s fighting capacity was not very strong. Wang Shichong Shi Biao fought for many years, and the original Sui Xiaoguo suffered heavy casualties. He took it to Luoyang for several years, and the Jianghuai warriors also had a few left. Now the Sui Dynasty is strong and needs troops to attack Zheng Bing, so it must be defeated without fighting.
With the two men talking about the big tent, the emotions of the generals were ignited. Yes, the Sui Dynasty conquered the four sides and won the battle. The Yu culture was destroyed, and Koguryo was also destroyed. Jianghuai, Du Fuwei and Li Tong also chose to surrender. Now the Sui Dynasty occupies most of the day and is afraid? What’s more, what is there to be afraid of when Wang Shichong planted a big Sui hand several times?
Yang You glanced at the corners of his mouth with a smile. After half a year’s rest, this group of militant points have recovered their energy. At the beginning, homesickness had collapsed and replaced it with a fierce fighting spirit. He was very anxious about the war. That is to say, he wanted war neutrality. Because Yang You has never been stingy with meritorious deeds, now Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan, Cheng Zhijie, Hou Jun, Qiu Hanggong and other generals have distributed some food cities according to the credit. How can you seal the shadow of your wife if you don’t take the opportunity to make meritorious deeds until peace?
It is with the success of Lien Chan and Lien Jie in the Great Sui Dynasty that some generals became arrogant. In their hearts, they seemed to think that the Great Sui Dynasty was invincible.
Yang You looked up and motioned for the generals to be quiet, which cleared his throat. "You love Ye County, which is an important town in Yingchuan. Wang Shichong has been in business for half a year. The city is strong and not easy to attack. Ye County is located in the Huaihe River in Funiu Mountain, and the river is rich in water. Even if there are 20,000 troops in the city, it will last until the spring of next year."
"If I delay in Yexian County for too long, it will affect the plan of the three-way army to attack Luoyang, and the casualties will be too great. Do you have a good plan for loving Qing?" Yang You’s words were very calm, and his eyes turned to Hou Jun, who bowed his head. It seemed that Koguryo was used to killing him, and he was particularly belligerent.
"Why not bypass Ye County and directly attack Yingchuan?" Qiu Xinggong suggested
Pei Hangyan then dequeued, "If the army bypasses the Yingchuan pass in Yexian County, it will obviously expose Duan Da’s soldiers."
"Otherwise, if you bypass Ye County and take Yingchuan, you can visit Wang Huishi in Xingyang County in the north, so the danger of providing foodstuff will be gone!" Qiu Hanggong said
"Looking at Wang Huishi?" Luo Shixin eyebrows wanted to think, "Tiger Prison is a dangerous terrain, and even if it is stationed, it is not good for attacking Tiger Prison."
"Good position plan is that the three-way invasion makes Wang Shichong divide his troops into several places. Once he is short of troops, he will stop the big Sui soldiers." Pei Hangyan responded
Qiu Hanggong blushed. He was unexpectedly denied by Pei Hangyan and Luo Shixin for this suggestion. But he had to admit that Tiger Prison was obviously more difficult to attack than Ye County, which meant that he suggested the benefits.
Yang You narrowed his eyes. Tiger Prison is the first danger in the Central Plains. Naturally, it is not necessary to say much about Yang You’s army attacking Luoyang in three ways. It is also difficult to maintain Wang Shichong’s insufficient troops and food for too long. The division of troops with sufficient food and sufficient food will make it difficult for Wang Shichong to cope with the victory of these three armies, which will greatly boost the morale of the Sui Dynasty and intimidate Luoyang. As a result, Wang Shichong will defend Luoyang and his two Zheng soldiers will inevitably be greatly reduced.
Yang You thought for a moment and looked at the think tank Du Ruhui. I hope he can give some suggestions. I feel Yang You’s bright eyes. Du Ruhui suddenly felt the pressure increase. He closed his eyes and pondered for half a ring. Then he said, "Judging from Duan Da’s performance, this time he led his troops to come. He must have been ordered by Wang Shichong to defend Ye County."
"This period of time is Wang Shichong’s most dependent confidant-Wang Shichong asked him to come and preside over the overall situation, and he must believe in him. I’m afraid it won’t work whether I plan against him or lead him out of the city," Du Ruhui said
Yang You smoothed her short beard and quietly listened to signal Du Ruhui to continue.
Du Ruhui added, "As the generals said just now, if the land of Yexian County is controlled by Yingchuan, if it is not taken from here, it will easily expose the northern route for providing foodstuff, and the tiger prison is easier to defend than to attack Yexian County. It is more difficult for me to attack Yexian County. I think it is better to attack Yexian County first than to attack Yexian County with slings."
The catapult is a big weapon of the Sui army. Generally, the city can’t stop the catapult from attacking the city of Yexian County. Although it is strong, it must be able to break Yang You’s pace if it takes a little more time. Now it is October, and the heavy snow will come soon. Yang You chose this time to move troops, not because he saw that Wang Shichong was extremely short of food and wanted to be besieged for a year and a half. At that time, Yang You could attack Luoyang more easily. In the future, Yang You, the capital of the Sui Dynasty, didn’t want Luoyang to be greatly damaged. Therefore, Yang You needed to kill Luoyang before the heavy Filling up the wasteland to save food, but Da Sui has been dredging the canal for more than half a year. If he wants to seize Xingyang County’s food, he can transport it directly from Jiangdong to Luoyang. He is not worried about the problem of food transportation, and the food in Hebei is edible. Yang You made up his mind and waved his hand and said, "Qiu Aiqing, you must lead five thousand troops with slings to smash the wall of Yexian County in the shortest time"-273
Chapter 24 First Battle
Early the next morning, Qiu Hanggong took 5,000 soldiers out of the camp. More than 300 steps outside Yexian County were spread out. They were busy pushing the catapult forward gradually to prepare to bombard Yexian County.
Sui Jun’s movement was discovered by Chengtou Zheng Bing, who gave the information to Duan Da Duan Da in a hurry and got the news. He immediately rushed to Chengtou to see the Sui army outside the city. He couldn’t help but frown. Obviously, Sui Jun was going to bombard Ye County. Duan Da once guarded Luoyang, and Shi Biao catapult is still fresh in his memory.
The slings are so powerful that Luoyang City is so strong that the walls have been blown down. Can Yexian stop it? Duan Da expressed some doubts.
"Chen Wang’s slings are so powerful that Sui Jun must not bombard the city gate!" Flying general Xu Han said
Qin Yi also bowed his hand and said, "Chen Wang heard that the slings in Sui Jun are powerful. Don’t let them smash the wall with slings or our army will be in danger."
More than the generals have also been well-documented. At that time, Cheng Tou Zheng will be eager to fight like a fire. Duan Da seems very calm. Years of war experience made him very cautious. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the busy Sui Jun outside the city to estimate the number of people.
Duan Da hesitated. The 5,000 Sui troops are not many, and they are all infantry and have no fortifications. If the cavalry rushed, there should be a chance. However, Duan Da hesitated at the thought of the position order and asked him to defend his heart.
"There are not many Sui Jun outside the city and most of them are infantry. It is better to send troops to destroy the slings in Sui Jun in World War I, and then it is not too late to defend the city." Xu Han encouraged Duan Da
"Chen Wang and Sui Jun haven’t finished the disposal yet, but they can also rush. If they set up the formation, I’m afraid it will be difficult." Qin Yi keenly saw this.
"Yes, if Wang Chen doesn’t seize this opportunity, I’m afraid he will be damned!" Yokono General Duan Wenzhe said
Duan Da’s face changed, and the plain outside the city scanned around until it was confirmed that there was no ambush outside the city except for the five thousand Sui soldiers. This just nodded and said, "General Duan Shuai will give you one thousand cavalry to find fighters. If the Sui soldiers are heavily guarded, you can’t easily rush to the array."
Duan Wenzhe’s heart bowed with joy and said, "Yes."
"General Qin is handsome and gives you 500 cavalry to sneak out from the west gate. Once General Duan’s cavalry is killed in Sui Jun, it will inevitably show flaws. Then you will attack the left wing of Sui Jun and defeat the Sui army array!" Duan Daling
Qin Yi Gongshou said, "At the end of the general’s life"
"General Xu, you take two thousand steps to meet two generals at any time." Duan Da added
"hey!" Xu Han slightly disappointed in my heart, but I still replied.
Soon Duan Wenzhe with one thousand cavalry roared out of the city from the south gate toward the Sui army to kill.
Qiu Hanggong also found Zheng Bing’s abnormal behavior when Ye County changed. He immediately ordered the soldiers to prepare for the Sui army. The soldiers quickly guarded the central knife and shield soldiers in front of the catapults, while the archers drew their bows and arrows to prepare for the attack of Zheng Bing.
Duan Wenzhe took the cavalry to kill and went to the horseshoe like thunder. He held high his hand. The range of the crossbowman with a horizontal knife was about 100 steps. Duan Wenzhe calculated the distance. At this time, he had found that the crossbowman of the Sui army was like a tiger waiting for him to reach his mouth as soon as he opened his mouth.
"To the left!" Duan Wenzhe took the lead in crossing Zheng Jun’s fighters to the left, just like a torrent, and suddenly turned a corner and slipped toward Sui Jun’s right wing. The iron hoof vibration brought up a few pieces of mud, and the sky was gradually dyed black. Because Duan Wenzhe shifted the main attack direction, Sui Jun also began to turn the knife and shield soldiers to make a defensive posture in the direction of Zheng Jun’s fighters, and the crossbowman also set his eyes on the fighters.
Duan Wenzhe ran hundreds of steps and then turned the horse’s head. Zheng Bing once again rushed towards Sui Jun formation to kill. Before going to kill, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the west. Qin Yi should be out of town at this time! In order to successfully destroy Sui Jun’s catapult Duan Wenzhe decided to continue to attract Sui Jun’s attention
The war horse urged Zheng Bing to cross the Sui Jun formation again and raise the dust to cover the sun. The sight of the Sui soldiers was greatly affected. At this time, the dust was gradually scattered, and the Sui soldiers could see clearly about fifty paces. Duan Wenzhe stopped in the north of Sui Jun and launched an attack again.
Although two consecutive attacks were false attacks, Qiu Hanggong obviously did not dare to take it lightly. Sui Jun formation once again moved the archer to look at the front. Duan Wenzhe once again spurred the horse to kill Sui Jun. This time, Duan Wenzhe still did not attack the cavalry. Sui Jun crossbowman crossed out of range again and brought more dust.
Once again, Sui Jun’s right-wing stopped in the back section, and Shirley briefly rested for a moment, carefully observing Sui Jun in front. At this time, Sui Jun was in a tense position, and Zheng Jun’s several charges had disrupted Sui Jun’s defensive formation, but Duan Wenzhe was more excited because he came back from Yexian Chengtou to tell him that Qin Yi had circuitously killed the rear of Sui Jun.
Duan Chengtou smoothed his bearded sneer. From the current situation, it seems that Sui Jun has not yet discovered Qin Yi. Once Qin Yi cavalry rushed out of Sui Jun formation, most of the archers in Sui Jun were faced with a massacre. In recent years, Zheng always suffered a loss against Sui Dynasty. If this time, Duan Danone destroyed Sui Jun slings and killed thousands of Sui soldiers, that would be a big contribution.
Duan Da narrowed his eyes. He had already seen Duan Wenzhe start charging. Sui Jun put all his attention on Duan Wenzhe’s crossbow. Duan Da knew that Sui Jun’s tension would not last long, and Sui Jun’s crossbowman had been full of bowstrings, which was a great test for his physical strength.
The iron hoof once again resounded through the ears of Sui soldiers. Qiu Hanggong looked at the front coldly. Is Zheng Jun really going to rush to the array this time? More than 3,000 crossbowmen are ready, and when Qiu Hanggong gives the order, they will shoot arrows and feathers to bash Zheng Bing head-on. The horseshoes are getting louder and louder, and the eardrums are filled with all people, and the ground is constantly trembling, which is also feared by the murderous look of the two armies.
Duan Wenzhe narrowed his eyes and smiled. When he launched the attack, he saw that the flag of Qin Yijun was also moving rapidly, which means that Qin Yi could break the Sui Jun war in a moment. At that time, Sui Jun crossbowmen faced Zheng Jun’s fighters and killed them. When the Sui Jun war was broken, Duan Wenzhe’s fighters plunged into the heart of the Sui army like a sharp knife.
This time Duan Wenzhe was about to enter the range of Sui Jun crossbowman, but he still didn’t stop. The horse drove the dust to continue to rush toward Sui Jun. Duan Wenzhe could already see clearly the faces of Sui soldiers through the dust gap, and the tense faces would become Duan Wenzhe’s knife soul in a moment.
"Kill all the dogs!" Duan Wenzhe drank a horizontal knife in his hand and held it high. As soon as his voice fell, he rushed to the shooting range of Sui Jun crossbowman.
"kill!" Qiu Hanggong coldly ordered Sui Jun crossbowman to shoot arrow feathers immediately.
The arrows rained like locusts for half a day, covering Zheng Jun’s fighters. At least dozens of people were shot and fell. At one time, the horses whined and the soldiers screamed. The horses’ hooves echoed through the plain. Looking at the front, the face lit up coldly.
It is necessary for Duan Wenzhe’s cavalry to sacrifice. He has successfully attracted Qiu Hanggong’s attention. Qin Yi cavalry has created favorable conditions. Duan Da has seen that Qin Yi cavalry is only a hundred steps away from Sui Jun, which is just a moment before the cavalry.
Duan Da couldn’t help clenching his fist. This is the first world war when Duan Da became famous. If he defeated Sui Jun Zheng Junchen in this first world war, the morale of the Sui army will inevitably rise. On the contrary, the morale of the Sui army will inevitably decline, and Zheng will surely persist in the final victory.
Duan Da’s eyes have narrowed into a crack. He be in heaven shouted at Chengtou’s generals and laughed. "Ha ha, Yang You’s children are so much! In this battle, we must kill Sui Jun and beg for mercy. We must hang Sui Jun’s head in the city to let Yang You children know that Da Zheng also has a good general! "
Wei general Yang Bao saved the arch and smiled. "Chen Wangying, after the first world war, Sui Jun is bound to be frightened, and Chen Wang will be famous, and he will also reward Chen Wang with a lot of congratulations."
