"Fan Zigai, Huangfu Wuyi, Yuan Wendu, you cowardly trash, you have the guts to come out and fight us to the death. What's the point of hiding in the city? Come out! Come out!"

"Yuan Wendu, you must think clearly. Now that you open the city gate and surrender, you will definitely get what you want. If you resist stubbornly, when we break through Luoyang City, your whole family's heads will be gone! It's uncertain!

"

"Fan Zigai, old man, come out and fight us, fight us! Come out and fight us!"

The weather was so hot that there was no cloud in the sky. The sun was so hot that the ground was smoking. It was also so hot that everyone in the rebel army was sweating profusely. Even the voices shouting, cursing and fighting were much weaker. He led three thousand rebels.

The rebel general who fought in Anximen

, Yang Xuangan's fifth brother Yang Wanshuo, who was the Ying Yang Lang General of the Sui Army not long ago, dismounted his horse early and sat on the ground, asking his soldiers to take off their clothes to protect themselves from the sun. He cursed from time to time, "My luck is so damn bad, the sun is so bright today."

, I’m going to kill this general.”

"Fifth General, why don't we go back?" Yu Rou, a young man from a powerful family who had newly joined the rebels, suggested, wiping her sweat: "Anyway, that old immortal Fan Zigai will definitely not leave the city. There is no point in continuing like this. It's better to withdraw the troops early.

Go back to Jinyong City, the weather is too hot."

"Do you think I don't want to go back to Jinyong City to hide from the cold?" Yang Wanshuo said angrily: "But this is the order from my eldest brother before he left. He is not allowed to withdraw his troops before the afternoon. It violates his military order, even if I am his fifth brother.

You must be punished! You Henan Zan\u6

Cbb can’t escape either!”

Yu Rou thought about it, so she changed the target of the attack and cursed: "It's all that rotten man who herds cattle who came up with bad ideas and made us suffer here. When I get the chance, let's see how I deal with him!"

"Li Mi is still very capable. My father already admired him very much back then." Yang Wanshuo was not as good as Yu Rou, and he did not agree with Yu Rou's accusation of Li Mi. He just ordered the soldiers next to him: "Go and give orders to the front.

, let them scold louder, and be sure to make Fan Zigai scold him to death. Also, let the scouts guard the roads, and never let any enemy scouts go."

The soldiers took orders and brought Yang Wanshuo's order to the team who were scolding the formation outside the city. However, the weather was still too hot. No matter how hard they cheered up, the rebel soldiers who were insulting and surrendering could not curse louder.

, continue to

They were weakly swearing to surrender, and many rebel soldiers simply took off their simple armors and cursed outside the city with bare arms. Some brave rebel soldiers even ran to the moat to drink water, completely ignoring the city.

The defenders looked like nothing.

The rebel soldiers really don't have to worry about the defenders on the city wall. Faced with the insults and fights of the rebel troops, few of the defenders on the city wall even dare to speak back, let alone come out of the city and fight.

The rebel team, which was gaining momentum, fought to the death. From top to bottom, they were more weak and listless than the rebels. Many of the defenders simply sat down and squatted down, hiding as much as possible in the poor shade under the arrow stacks.

Yuan Wendu, the imperial censor who was responsible for guarding Anxi Gate, completely turned a blind eye to this and took the lead in hiding in a cooler tower to enjoy the cool weather. He told him that unless the rebels attacked the city, they were not allowed to disturb him.

After half past noon, the almost lifeless situation finally changed. Fan Zigai, who had always been known for his strict military management, was left behind in Dongdu. Shortly after finishing his routine daily patrol of the city, he suddenly led a group of forbidden troops. The guards returned to Anximen City. The frightened defenders who were taking shelter in the cold were so frightened that they scrambled to stand upright again facing the outside of the city. Yuan Wendu also received the news.

u662f hurriedly rushed out of the tower, ran to Fan Zigai and saluted hurriedly, waiting tremblingly for Fan Zigai to get angry.

Yuan Wendu's luck was quite good. Fan Zigai just glared at him fiercely this time, reminded Yuan Wendu that his official uniform was not correct enough, and then stood by the arrow stack to observe the rebel team outside the city. At the same time, the rebel team outside the city also saw Fan Zigai with a long snow-white beard. They suddenly became energetic and pointed at Fan Zigai's feet on the city. He cursed and desperately tried to anger Fan Zigai himself, and at the same time sent people to the rebel group behind to report the situation to Yang Wanshuo.

After sizing up the rebel team with an expressionless expression, Fan Zigai turned his gaze to Chen Yingliang next to him and said: "In the Chen Record Office, Liu Changgong is already arranging the rear team. I'll leave the forwards to you. Go down and assemble the team to prepare for attack."

"Fan Liu, please wait a moment and let me observe the enemy's situation for a while." Chen Yingliang quickly handed over his hands and begged, then turned to look at the situation of the rebel group in the distance.

At this time, after receiving the news of Fan Zigai's appearance, the rebel team, which had been slightly relaxed, immediately began to regroup and shouted neatly. The formation of the previously scattered team quickly returned to order. See this Seeing the scene, Chen Yingliang immediately handed over to Fan Zigai and said: "Fan stayed behind, the enemy's morale is not exhausted, please wait another half an hour before letting the villain lead the army to attack."

"Wait another half hour?" Fan Zigai frowned slightly and said, "What? Are you afraid again? Didn't you promise me before that the National Army will win the first battle?"

"It is precisely because the villain wants to ensure victory in the first battle and a big victory in the first battle, so he must seize the best opportunity to attack." Chen Yingliang replied respectfully: "On the battlefield, courage is important, but it is equally important to be able to fight with your mind. A strong general is one who fights with courage, and a great general is one who fights with his mind."

After saying that, Chen Yingliang quickly added respectfully, saying: "The left-behind master has read military books and is familiar with military strategy. After seeing the weather and the environment where the bandit team is, he must have known that the villain requested to wait later. The reason for the attack is now\u5

728 It’s just past midnight, and we still have plenty of time.”

Looking at the blazing sun in the sky, and then at the rebel team in the open area that was exposed to the scorching sun, Fan Zigai showed a rare smile on his rigid and serious face, and said: "Okay, just wait for another half." Hour. I won’t leave either. In half an hour, let’s see how you defeat the thieves.”

"Thank Fan for staying behind." Chen Yingliang cupped his hands and thanked him, and then said: "Fan stayed behind, General Huangfu, I would like to ask you to wait in the tower for a while. Firstly, the weather is too hot, which is not good for your health. Secondly, the bandit team is because of Seeing you appear, my morale was boosted. After you leave the city wall, the morale of the rebel team will inevitably decline again."

Hearing what Chen Yingliang said was reasonable, Fan Zigai didn't say anything, turned around and walked towards the tower. As he walked, he sent someone to order Liu Changgong to let the three thousand rear troops rest temporarily. The sick Huangfu Wuyi also hurriedly followed, while Chen Yingliang ran over.

Under the city wall, the soldiers of the rebel army were asked to take a rest in the shade and replenish their salt water. The result was just as Chen Yingliang expected. After Fan Zigai and others disappeared from the city wall, the rebels first burst into laughter and curses.

The sound, and then the morale quickly declined again. Yang Wanshuo and Yu Rou cursed and returned under the awning made of clothes, and the neat ranks of the rebels were scattered again.

For Fan Zigai, Huangfu Wuyi and other important officials in the Eastern Capital who may have sent out false military intelligence reports, this half hour is probably the longest half hour in their lives. The air in the tower seems to have solidified and is depressing.

It makes people breathless. Even though Fan Zigai has experienced countless storms in his seventies, he is inevitably very nervous at this time and his palms are slightly sweaty.

Chen Yingliang was not nervous. He had fought numerous life-and-death battles with criminal suspects, and twice went deep into the den of thieves to hunt for criminals. Chen Yingliang had already developed a steel-like mental will, so when he looked at the demoralized rebel team outside the city, Chen Yingliang

Not only was there not the slightest bit of nervousness, there was not even much excitement about going into battle and showing off one's skills. All that was being considered in his mind were the various situations that he might encounter on the battlefield and how to deal with them.

After receiving the news, Pei Hongce arrived at Anxi Gate at some unknown time. He looked at the rebel team beside Chen Yingliang for a moment and whispered: "Don't put too much hope in Liu Changgong's rear team. He is a tiger general who became a hereditary official.

I have never been on the battlefield. The first three regiments I rebelled against in Baisima Ban were all under his command. Yuan Jinwei, who led the rebellion, was still a close confidant promoted by him. His team is unreliable and everything can only rely on you.

Be careful yourself."

"Thank you uncle for your advice." Chen Yingliang replied respectfully, and added in his heart, "I never counted on him."

Half an hour finally arrived. After obtaining Fan Zigai's consent, Chen Yingliang strode down the city wall and assembled his troops in the open area under Anxi Gate. At the same time, Fan Zigai sent someone to Liu Changgong to organize the rear army.

Prepare to attack.

The organizational discipline practiced over the past thirteen days was not in vain. Chen Yingliang gave an order under the city, and the soldiers of the Baoguo Army, who had only 411 people left, immediately put on armor and helmets, and put on the white color that distinguishes them from ordinary Sui Army soldiers.

The cloaks lined up quickly in front of Chen Yingliang. Everyone's face was full of excitement and anxiety, but there was no trace of fear or flinching.

At the same time, Liu Changgong, the Sui Army general with the fourth highest official position in the Youwu Guards, also started to form a team. The three thousand Sui Army soldiers were like a group of ducks, shouting and neighing. They were in a mess for a long time without forming a team. The faces of each soldier

There was fear and worry written all over it, and his expression was as dull as if he was about to be executed. In order to cheer up the soldiers, Liu Changgong openly shouted, "Brothers, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we are just the rear team, we are just arraying beside the moat."

, cheering with great force, the vanguard is the four hundred boys in filial robes in front, we just have to kill the deserters, if not, we can retreat back to the city at any time! Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!"

While Liu Changgong was shouting, Chen Yingliang declined the war horse sent by Fan Zigai. Chen Yingliang, who still had mediocre riding skills, rode the war horse into battle. Not only would he not be of any help, but he would also become the target of the rebels. It would be better to fight with the Nationalist Army.

The soldiers fought on foot together safely. In this regard, Chen Yingliang, who had both courage and resourcefulness, made good calculations.

arbitrarily specified\u4e0

2000

0 soldiers served as flag bearers and handed the big flag of serving the country with both hands to him. In front of more than 400 soldiers who served the country, Chen Yingliang said loudly: "Brother, the military flag is left to you. You hold the military flag."

Charge with me, and the remaining four hundred and ten brothers will charge with the military flag. The military flag is the soul of the army, so from now on, you are our soul! You must protect the military flag as much as you protect your life. Where the flag is, the people are there.

If the flag dies, the people will die!”

Under the gaze of all the officers and soldiers of the Patriot Army, as well as the countless Sui soldiers on the city and below, the soldier blushed, knelt down to Chen Yingliang, kowtowed three times, and then stood up with his hands

He took the military flag and stood beside Chen Yingliang without saying a word.

"Soldiers, I didn't have time to tell you the reason just now. Our attack time has been advanced." Chen Yingliang said loudly: "It is the time I asked Fan Liushou to advance. There are two reasons. One cannot be told to you yet, and the other reason is,

This is our first chance to win a great victory! Outside the city, there are only three thousand members of Yang's rebel army. Who is the general leading the army? The scouts sent by Master Fan dare not come close to reconnaissance. We don't know yet, but we can know.

Who is the general of the bandit army? As for how we know who the general of the bandit army is, what method do you think we should use?"

Facing Chen Yingliang's strange question, the soldiers of the Baoguo Army were a little confused for a while, but Chen Zhihong, one of the only two captains in the Baoguo Army, reacted and was the first to answer loudly: "Capture the traitor general.

Come here, or chop him to death on the battlefield, then we can know who he is!"

"You're right. If you don't know who the enemy general is, you'll know after you capture him and ask him!" Chen Yingliang said loudly: "This is the simplest method and the most effective method!"

After speaking loudly, Chen Yingliang raised his voice again and shouted: "Commanders of the Patriot Army, tell me, what are we fighting for?"

"Kill the thieves and put down the rebellion! Serve the country with loyalty!" More than 400 soldiers responded loudly in unison.

"Yes! Kill the thieves and quell the rebellion! Serve the country with loyalty!" Chen Yingliang shouted: "The slogan has been shouted, and our opportunity has come. Fan Liushou has already given the order. If you win this battle, the reward will be doubled! If you come back alive, the reward will be doubled! Battle

The reward for death on the battlefield is tripled! For the sake of the emperor, for the court, for the thousands of innocent people in Luoyang City, and for ourselves, we must win this battle!"

Roaring, Chen Yingliang raised his arms and shouted again: "Kill the thieves and put down the rebellion! Serve the country with loyalty!"

"Kill the thieves and quell the rebellion! Serve the country with loyalty! Kill the thieves and quell the rebellion! Serve the country with loyalty! Kill the thieves and quell the rebellion! Serve the country with loyalty!" The soldiers of the patriotic army, who had long been accustomed to Chen Yingliang's demands, roared in unison and repeatedly raised their weapons and shouted loudly.

Infecting companions in the team will also be infected by companions in the team.

"Sirs, sing our military songs loudly and follow me out of the city!" Chen Yingliang ordered loudly, and then shouted: "City gate officer, open the city gate!"

"Wolf smoke rises, the mountains and rivers look north, the dragon curls up, the horse neighs, the sword energy is like frost..."

Amidst the loud military songs, the gate of Luoyang slowly opened. Chen Yingliang held a horizontal sword in his hand and strode out of the city gate with his head held high. The flag of serving the country with loyalty was followed closely by the flag bearer. Colonels Guo Feng and Chen Zhihong

Lieutenants surrounded them, and the remaining 408 soldiers of the Patriot Army lined up to follow. Military songs always echoed in the ranks of the Patriot Army, "...I am willing to defend the land and restore the territory, and the grand Sui Dynasty——, let——

,Congratulations from all nations————!”

Hearing the slogans and military songs, and seeing the gates of the Eastern Capital slowly opening, the rebel team was already in chaos. They hurriedly put on their armor. Yang Wanshuo and Yu Rou looked around, saying they couldn't believe what they said in the field battle.

The Dongdu garrison, which had been defeated in a row, would have the courage to go out of the city for a decisive battle. It was not until they saw the soldiers of the Patriot Army marching out of the city that Yang Wanshuo and Yu Rou came to their senses as if they had just woken up from a dream, and quickly shouted and ordered the troops to line up.

Fight against.

The rear detachment of the Sui army led by Huben Lang General Liu Changgong was still slowly walking into the city gate corridor. Fan Zigai, Huangfu Wuyi, Pei Hongce and other important officials from the Eastern Capital had already walked to the edge of the city wall to watch Fan Zigai gamble with their own eyes.

After a lifetime of fame and risk, the first battle of the army to serve the country was formed.
