Chapter 211 The fate of offending the evildoer

Dangdangdangdangdangdangdang, the feather arrow shot on the long shield in front of the Sui army archers in Taiyuan, making a crisp sound of nails, as dense as pearls, nailing the long shield made of hardwood as feathers, and pressing the Sui army archers hiding behind the long shield without a chance to look up. A Sui army archer was a little bold, half-squatted and forced the bow, and suddenly stood up and was about to shoot an arrow, a Turkic army feather arrow had already penetrated his throat accurately. He fell on his back with a string of blood rain, and his other companions behind the long shield also wailed, "Why do we shoot arrows and fight back with such a fierce rain of arrows?"

The Sui army archers who could squat behind the long shield to avoid the Turkic bows and arrows were lucky. The worst of all were the Taiyuan Sui army light infantry who were pushing the toad cart forward. They could not even find a safe shooting dead corner, and they had to push the heavy toad cart to move forward desperately. Although there were toad carts loaded with earth and stones on the front that could block the arrows from the front, and there were companions' long shields on both sides to block the arrows shot from the cross, they could not resist the feather arrows thrown by the Turkic archers. They could only carry the sharp arrows with their flesh and blood, hoping that God would bless them and that their ancestors would accumulate virtue, so that they would not be able to hit the arrows or fewer arrows.

Unfortunately, the Turkic army originally relied on horseback to shoot arrows. Even if it was throwing blind shots, the Turkic soldiers' bows and arrows still had a very good hit rate. They shot feather arrows into the shield formation, shooting one Taiyuan Sui soldiers after another to death and injured them, hitting one by one Li Yuan's direct subordinates, blood flew behind the toad cart, and screams echoed inside the shield formation. Li Yuan and his confidant lackey were in the distance behind, and their teeth were gritted.

No one dared to retreat. Previously, two soldiers under Li Yuan's command threw down the toad cart and turned back because they were too timid. As a result, before they could run back to Li Yuan's team, they were stopped by the Loufan Supervisor Team under Yin Shishi's command. The swords and axes were cut into pieces, and the bamboo cards on their waists were also searched by the Supervisor Team. Then those who were waiting for their families would not have the pension for the eldest son, and there would be a possibility of going into the prison cell to serve hard labor. - Yin Shishi's commander, who was extremely arrogant, had long explained to his supervisory military team that as long as there were deserters on the battlefield, no matter who was or whose subordinates were, they would be executed on the spot and whatever happened.

It is precisely because of this that the terrified Taiyuan soldiers did not dare to retreat, and would rather die under the Turkic arrow than take a step back. Li Yuan could only send his soldiers again to replenish the toad chariot team after being killed and injured. He urged the infantry team to fill the camp-protecting trenches as soon as possible to open the way for the heavy infantry. Li Yuan, represented by Xu Shixu and Li Xiaogong, kept turning back and gritting his teeth to glaring at Chen Yingliang's flag in the back, filling his chest with anger, but he was still helpless.

At the same time, Chai Shao was also constantly looking back and glaring at Chen Yingliang's handsome flag, and couldn't help but say to Li Er beside him: "How did that little thief win such a battle? Will he fight? Isn't such an attack filled with life?"

"This is the right way to use troops." Li Er was a little calm and explained in a low voice: "If we fill the Turkic camp trenches, our heavy infantry can directly reach the fence defense line of the Turkic camp, and directly pose a threat to the Turkic soldiers behind the fence. If we don't fill the trenches, we will directly throw ourselves into heavy infantry combat. If we can't cross the trenches, it will be a living target. It will be even worse to directly invest in light infantry. No matter how many light infantry attacks, it will also increase the performance of the Turkic archery formation."

After listening to Li Er's explanation, Chai Shao, who had just gone to the battlefield, was furious, but Li Er added: "But Chen Yingliang was not at ease. His combat style is good at flexibility and never likes to attack the front with huge casualties. This time, he deliberately sent my father's army to attack the front with the head, which clearly meant that he wanted to use a knife to kill people and use the Turks to weaken my father's direct lineage. Otherwise, with his ability, he might not be able to come up with other ways to break through the Turkic camp at a smaller cost."

Hearing this, Chai Shao, of course, immediately gritted his teeth and cursed again. Zhu Can, on the other side, came up and whispered in Li Er's ear: "Second Young Master, Chen Yingliang's little thief is so vicious, why are you polite? Your archery technique is so outstanding. If you have the chance, why not solve the problem with a cold arrow?"

Li Er glanced at Zhu Can, who encouraged him to assassinate the head coach, smiled but didn't say anything, but turned to Chai Shao who was furious, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, you don't have to hurry. This is Chen Yingliang's first battle since he took office as head coach, and he dare not do too much. Moreover, he used such tactics to attack the camp. If it didn't rain today, his hope of success is very small. At that time, his position will only be more difficult to sit. We just need to watch the show with peace of mind."

Chai Shao nodded silently and prayed silently that it would not rain today. Zhu Can, on the other side, muttered in his heart, "No statement means no rejection. Get started quickly. When you shoot the cold arrow, I will take you down and you can go to the boy Chen Yingliang to enjoy the glory and wealth. Damn, I really didn't expect this boy to climb so fast, but he climbed onto Yun Dingxing and Li Yuan's heads in a blink of an eye. It seems that hugging his thighs is more promising."

Fortunately, the Turkic army, which was heavily attacking but not defending, only dug a trench to protect the camp. The twelve toad chariots were loaded with earth and rocks, and after three round trips, they paid a considerable price, but they still filled the trench more than a mile long, and then quickly retreated to reload the soil. At the same time, in order to reduce casualties, Li Yuan took the initiative to send a thousand infantry to the front line to serve as archers and try his best to suppress the archery formation of the Turkic army. It was also at this time that Chen Yingliang discovered that Li Yuan seemed to have intentionally concealed a little from himself, that is, the proportion of archery equipment in Li Yuan's team was extremely high. Although the archery crossbows were transported in the baggage truck, and it was impossible to judge the number, he could pull a bow and shoot arrows by just pulling out a team. It was obvious that these soldiers had been trained in archery.

Secretly remembering the combat characteristics of Li Yuan's army, Chen Yingliang ignored the battlefield and chose to sit down and read the information summary given to him by various royal soldiers. Time was too tight, and Chen Yingliang didn't have time to view and review so many military reports last night. The war ahead was still continuing, and the trench battle between Li Yuan's army and the Turkic army was still in full swing. The Sui army shouted and killed and the Turkic screams filled the battlefield, and the sounds spread for miles.

I don’t know how long it took, but Chen Yingliang was so as he saw the god-like Chen Yingliang was pulled out of the official document pile by Li Yuan’s report. When Chen Yingliang looked up again, he saw more than two miles of trenches and many corpses lying in the room, and Li Yuan’s face was already so angry that he said angrily: “I am guilty and interrupted the Grand Marshal to read the official document. The Grand Marshal was ordered to fill the trenches. The task has been completed. How should I fight next? Please tell the Grand Marshal?”

"Send all your heavy infantry to attack head-on." Chen Yingliang answered casually, then picked up the official documents and read them again to understand the various situations of the royal coalition forces in various directions.

"I'll take on the task of taking on the front line?" Li Yuan's nose was almost skewed.

"Ambassador Li, you are so noble that you forget things." Chen Yingliang said without raising his head: "I said yesterday. As long as I tell you how to fight, you are willing to be the pioneer. Go and don't bother me to read the official documents."

I really wanted to kick the handsome case in front of Chen Yingliang, but I didn't have the courage. Li Yuan could only curse Chen Yingliang's ancestors in his heart and scramble to return to the front army to command the attack. Yun Dingxing and Liu Changgong next to him were so smiling that they even narrowed their eyes. They all admired Chen Yingliang's ruthlessness and revenge, and even admired his vision and courage, and stood in the right position in advance and adjusted his butt in time. Chen Yingliang, who was reading the official document, suddenly exclaimed and said in surprise: "Huh? Why did he come so quickly?"

"Master, what did you say? Who came so fast?" asked Old General Yun curiously.

"Jiangdu County Magistrate Wang Shichong." Chen Yingliang said in the official document in his hand: "The official document given to me by Ambassador Li said that Wang's team had arrived in Taiyuan three days ago. I was surprised that he came so quickly, so I said something more."

"Wang Shichong, the Chief of the Jiangdu County?" Yun Dingxing was also a little stunned and said in surprise: "He also flew here? How could he come so fast? He is farther away than the Grand Marshal?"

"I don't know, but it doesn't matter. I'll know after meeting." Chen Yingliang shook his head, then after a moment of calculation, Chen Yingliang showed some joy and said, "It's a good time. Wang Shichong is likely to be able to arrive at Xinkou today. His team can be of great use."

After saying this, Chen Yingliang quickly arranged an envoy and asked him to go back to Xinkou to greet Wang Shichong. He ordered that after seeing Wang Shichong, he would immediately explain the current situation to Wang Shichong, and asked Wang Shichong to dispatch an army as much as possible to help the war and help his de facto son-in-law attack the Turks in Wan County. The envoy ran away, and Liu Changgong on the other side said kindly: "Brother Yingliang, Wang Shichong's team must be exhausted when he ran so far from Xinkou. It would be useless to transfer his army to the war. If you feel that the troops are insufficient, there are still five thousand troops in my camp, and you can transfer them to the war."

After hearing Liu Changgong's words, the veteran General Yun Dingxing, who was very good at taking sides, immediately took the initiative to express his position, saying that Chen Yingliang could send someone to mobilize his remaining troops to go north to participate in the war. Chen Yingliang shook his head and said, "Brother Liu, Old General Yun, I appreciate your kindness, but no need. I asked Wang Shichong's team to join the war because his team can be of great use on today's battlefield, so no matter how tired I am, I have to dispatch his army to go north to help."

Liu Changgong and Yun Dingxing were even more puzzled when they heard this. When asked about the reason again, Chen Yingliang refused to answer. At this time, as the war drum sounded again, the heavy infantry under Li Yuan had already been put into the battlefield. Under the cover of a large number of crossbowmen and long shield soldiers, more than 1,500 Taiyuan heavy infantry lined up in neatly and horizontal lines to attack the Turkic army's camps in dense queues. At the same time, some adjustments were made on the Turkic side. A group of cavalry dismounted and put on armor, lined up behind the fence of the camp to prepare for war, and directly competed with the heavy infantry of the Sui army with heavy infantry.

The extremely tragic close-knit hand-to-hand combat started on the fence defense line of the Turkic camp. The heavy infantry from both sides rushed back and forth through the fence, with axes and hammers smashed, and the gold and iron collided. The fighting was extremely fierce. The feathered arrows were still in constant conflict in the sky. The Turkic army that relied on bows and arrows and the Li Yuan team that valued bows and arrows both showed their own skills and desperately poured arrows into the other party's heads. The feathered arrows were as dense as hail raindrops, constantly stopping, and the soldiers on both sides who fell to the ground were also constantly screaming, screaming and killing sounds and the sound of metal and iron colliding into one, soaring into the sky.

The close-knit war has entered a white-hot heat, and even outsiders such as Liu Changgong and Yun Dingxing have stood up and watched the battle with breath. Other intermediate generals whispered to each other and whispered to discuss military affairs. Chen Yingliang was still buried in the pile of official documents, and he didn't even have the interest to look up at the battlefield situation--there is no need to see. Chen Yingliang used the most orthodox attack tactics, and there was no need to adjust. Unless the Sui army retreated or broke through the Turkic fence defense line, Chen Yingliang would not have to issue orders, and naturally he would not have to pay close attention to the battlefield.

Chen Yingliang was so relaxed and confident that Qiao Peng, the Sui army, who had full trust in Chen Yingliang, had nothing to do with civil and military officials, but the other generals of the royal army were even more unsure. Even Liu Jingye, the uncle of Liu Changgong, who had adjusted his butt position in time, could not help but leave the list and ask Chen Yingliang: "Master, have you made some adjustments? With such a frontal attack, our casualties will not only be large, but also take effect very slowly."

"There is no need to adjust, the more you adjust, the more troublesome it is." Chen Yingliang replied: "The Turks' mobility is far better than our army. The more our army adjusts, the more opportunities it gives the Turks. Only this kind of frontal attack with a clear level is the best tactic to break through the Turkic camp."

Liu Jingye wanted to say something, but Liu Changgong stepped out of the line and grabbed him and said with a smile: "Uncle, you should be calm. Brother Yingliang is like a god in his military service. He is best at defeating the more with less. He will be sure that you don't have to worry about it."

"Nephew, it's not that I'm worried about the Grand Marshal, it's..." Liu Jingye was a little reluctant to speak, and then Yu Qian pointed to the sky and said, "Nephew, do you look like it's going to rain this day? The Grand Marshal said it's going to rain today, so we took the risk of going to fight. If it doesn't rain, how big can we be today...?"

Liu Changgong looked up at the sky as he said. Seeing that the sky was still scorching red sun and the sky was clear, Liu Changgong couldn't help but frowned, and looked at Chen Yingliang who was buried in the pile of official documents. Liu Changgong still chose to believe in his good brother who had shared life and death many times and said to Liu Jingye: "Don't worry, cousin, brother Yingliang has always been predicting things like a god, and said it will definitely rain when it rains." Liu Jingye had no choice but to sigh and retreated to the train with his nephew.

At this time, the shouts of killing on the front line became even louder. Perhaps it was because he realized that Li Yuan's team was not easy to mess with. Turkic commander Ashina Yusheng led a group of soldiers wearing armor to join the battlefield and continued to fight against the heavy infantry of the Sui army rushing towards the front. All the heavy infantry under Li Yuan had been put into the battlefield, and there was no heavy infantry reserve team available. The light infantry was also a living target of bows and arrows for the Turkic army. Li Yuan had no choice but to look back and hope that Chen Yingliang would send more heavy infantry to assist in the battle. However, when he waited left and right, he never saw any movement in Chen Yingliang. In the end, Li Yuan was completely unable to bear it and temporarily handed over the army to his subordinates to command, and rushed back to the flag formation to settle the score with Chen Yingliang.

After arriving at the flag formation, what made Li Yuan even more angry was that Chen Yingliang was still buried in the pile of official documents, racing against time to read military information documents, without even looking at the front line, and even not even noticed his arrival. Li Yuan was full of anger and Yu Qian shouted: "Master, the Turks have sent more soldiers in armor, which is difficult for our army to resist, and there are no more heavy infantry available. Please send more reinforcements from the commander."

"What's the hurry?" Chen Yingliang said without raising his head: "The Turkic heavy weight is light cavalry and light protection. How many armored warriors can be used in the camp? Keep holding on. When you spend almost the physical strength of the Turkic armored warriors, I will naturally send reinforcements to you."

"What should we do if our army's casualties?" Li Yuan said angrily: "Does the general want to use up all the Turkic strength and then let your direct team take advantage of the situation?

"Ambassador Li, pay attention to your words." Chen Yingliang finally raised his head and said slowly: "Arranging whoever team will go into battle first and whoever team will go into battle later is the power of this coach, and you have no right to intervene. Besides, your heavy infantry has only been put into the battlefield for less than half an hour, and you are still in good physical strength, so there is no need to rotate now."

Li Yuan's face turned blue again, and his fists were clenched tightly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Chen, how to arrange the combat team is indeed your power, and I have no power to deal with it - but I would like to ask you, what about the rain you mentioned? What about the heavy rain you mentioned? It's already past noon, why hasn't the heavy rain you mentioned yet

Hearing such a question, Chen Yingliang didn't dare to look up at the scorching sun in the sky. He could only smile and say, "Amistant Li, be careful, will the rain come?"

"When will the rain come?" Li Yuan couldn't bear it anymore and pointed at Yuan Tiangang standing next to Chen Yingliang and shouted: "The scammer under your command said it would rain or it would rain heavily today. You forced us to send troops to fight against Dong County today. Now we have fought against the Turks in Dong County, and it has passed. Why has the heavy rain not come as this charlatan liar said? As the commander of the Kings-Supporting Alliance, you have dispatched 40,000 troops to take a risky battle with just the traitor of a martial arts warlock. Are you worthy of our soldiers of the Kings-Supporting Alliance? Are you worthy of the appointment of His Majesty the Emperor and the court?"

Chen Yingliang's face changed color, and Yuan Tiangang, who was standing next to Chen Yingliang, also changed color. Suddenly, Yuan Tiangang's eyes moved and found that the Sui army flag in front of him fluttered a little. He quickly stopped Chen Yingliang's attack and bowed and said respectfully: "Master, Ambassador Li's lesson: It's true that it will rain today, maybe it's a bit arbitrary. Otherwise, please ask the Master to order the gold medal to withdraw the military team and replace it with a heavy infantry to attack the Turkic camp.

"Is it necessary?" Chen Yingliang, who was deliberately trying to take revenge on Li Yuan, asked back.

"I think this should be the case." Yuan Tiangang insisted, and said: "Anyway, our heavy infantry is relatively large, and taking turns to attack the Turkic camp can consume the physical strength of Turkic soldiers in armor and reduce the casualties of our soldiers."

Finally, he looked up at the battlefields of the two armies ahead and saw that Li Yuan's team was indeed very casualties, and the bodies shot to death by Turkic bows and arrows were covered with the ground. Considering that he could not do too much, Chen Yingliang nodded and ordered: "Mingjin, withdraw Ambassador Li's team."

The golden gong sounded according to the order. Although there was still enough combat power, the Taiyuan Sui army, who was afraid that the casualties would continue to expand, could not wait to retreat. The Turkic army cheered and screamed in the camp. Li Yuan also breathed some relief in the Sui army flag formation. He knew that even if he could not win the first task of breaking the Turkic camp, he didn't have to worry about the casualties being too serious - but he didn't notice that the wind coming from the south was slowly expanding.

Seeing that the Sui army in Taiyuan retreated faster than Fei, Chen Yingliang snorted coldly, and then asked the generals: "Generals, your one leads a thousand infantry to fight and attack the Turkic camp?"

"There is no need to use heavy infantry anymore."

Before the generals of the King's Army could speak, Yuan Tiangang, who was praised as a liar in the martial arts world, interrupted him again and said calmly: "Master General, you can directly join the light infantry, and the Turkic bows and arrows are useless."

"What do you mean?" Chen Yingliang was shocked. Li Yuan, Yun Dingxing, Liu Changgong and others were also surprised and looked up and went to see Yuan Tiangang together.

"My generals, please pay attention to the sky behind me, a liar in the world." Facing the Turkic camp in the north, Yuan Tiangang stood on his back south, with a calm expression and counting down: "Ten, nine, eight, seven..."

Li Yuan and all the generals of the King's Army looked up to look at the sky in the south. Chen Yingliang also stood up and looked back at the sky in the south. Seeing that the sky in the south was still clear and there was no cloud. Yuan Tiangang continued to stand on the south and continued to shout: "...three, two, one, here it is coming."

Before Yuan Tiangang finished speaking, Li Yuan, Chen Yingliang and others had almost opened their eyes, because at the same time when Yuan Tiangang said that, a black line appeared in the south sky. When it was tightened, the black line quickly became thicker, and the wind in the sky became stronger. The ink-like dark clouds swept over by the south wind. In less than a moment, half of the sky was covered and the half of the background behind Yuan Tiangang was quickly reflected.

Everyone's mouths were so open that they could stuff three eggs into it. Yuan Tiangang still didn't look back at the situation in the south, but just smiled at Li Yuan and said, "Amistant Li, I'm so sorry, I disappoint you. Although I am humble, I seem to be not the liar you call me."

With difficulty, he turned his gaze from the sky to Yuan Tiangang's face, staring at Yuan Tiangang with a calm smile, and the dark background behind him that was rising rapidly like a demon spreading his wings. Li Yuan suddenly wanted to slap himself in the face, suck his eyes without beads, and even slap his mouth. A few unpleasant words, he gave the first achievement of the decisive battle to break through the Turkic camp to others-the Sui army in Taiyuan still has the strength to fight again. After a heavy rain, the Turkic bow and arrow failed, and breaking through the Turkic camp was easy to get rid of.

While Li Yuan wanted to slap himself, Chen Yingliang also smiled, then turned around and asked the Sui generals who were already in a state of stupidity: "Dear generals, who would be willing to replace Ambassador Li and lead his army to attack the Turkic camp?"

It took a long time to get an answer. The quick-witted veteran General Yun Dingxingyun was the first to come back to his senses. He knelt down on one knee to Chen Yingliang without hesitation, clasped his fists and shouted: "I wish to go."

Hearing General Yun's volunteering, except for Ambassador Li, all the Sui generals present knelt down on one knee to Chen Yingliang, clasped their fists and asked for orders, and shouted in unison: "I am willing to go."

"I will be willing to go—"
