Chapter five hundred and fiftieth eight back you
Wang Fubao's plan is also very simple. It is to send troops to fight under Lingshi City. It is best to be able to lead the Taiyuan Army out. Wang Fubao takes the opportunity to go to surrender more, and it doesn't matter if he can't take the Taiyuan Army. The main force of the Sui army is responsible for dragging Li Er, who Chen Sangliang was extremely afraid of, on the main battlefield. Wang Fubao can also take the opportunity to run to other city gates to act, and still have the hope of cheating the enemy and helping the Sui army attack Lingshi City.
Although sometimes the simpler the strategy, the easier it is to succeed, Wang Fubao's method is too straightforward and simple. Therefore, after hesitating for a while, Cheng Yaojin, Liu Heita and others did not dare to nod and agree to adopt this tactic. They both expressed their need to think carefully. Wang Fubao, who had only been in the Sui Army for four days, knew that everyone must not have fully trusted him, so he did not insist. That night, he stayed at the camp abandoned by Li Erjun for the night, waiting patiently for Cheng Yaojin and others to make a decision.
While Cheng Yaojin and Liu Heita and other Sui generals were still hesitating, Duan Lun, Li Jiancheng's most trusted brother-in-law, had already made up his mind in Lingshi City and decided to adopt Li Er's suggestion to go out to fight, take advantage of the opportunity when the Sui army was tired and had not yet established a stable foothold to fight, strive to win a victory to boost morale, and win more time to prepare for war. What prompted Duan Lun to make up his mind was the huge gap in strength between the Taiyuan Army and the Sui Army. If Duan Lun did not seize this opportunity quickly, when the Sui army's vanguard recovered, the spirit stone defenders would basically have no chance in front of famous generals such as Liu Heita, Cheng Yaojin and Xue Renguo. Then when the main force of the Sui army arrived at the Lingshi battlefield, Duan Lun and Li Er would not even have the strength to fight back.
The next day, May Day, just dawned, Duan Lun took the initiative to find Li Er and told Li Er in person that he agreed to go to the battle and that he would lead the army to fight with Li Er in person. Li Er was first happy when he heard this, and then quickly advised: "Brother-in-law, you are the head coach of the spirit stone. You must not leave the city's heavy land, and the spirit stone city cannot allow any mistakes. Brother-in-law, you'd better sit in the city and prevent it from happening, and let your deputy General Murong Luohu go to battle with your younger brother."
Duan Lun hesitated for a moment. Considering that the spiritual stones are not allowed to be missed, he still accepted Li Er's persuasion and changed his words and said, "Okay, you can select 3,000 troops from your direct army to fight. I will let Murong Luohu lead 5,000 new forces to fight with you, let him obey your command and be careful."
The Lingshi garrison, together with Li Er's headquarters, only 15,000 people. Duan Lun handed over the eight thousand troops to Li Er's command in one breath. Li Er was of course overjoyed and hurried down to select elite troops to fight. Duan Lun also asked Murong Luohu to select five thousand full-strength new force Hou Ming, waiting to fight with Li Er.
At the same time, good news came from outside the city. After only one night of rest, Cheng Yaojin and Liu Heita really led the Sui army's exhausted troops to continue to drive north. Looking at the appearance, they thought of the high wall outside the Lingshi City or the establishment of Suoduyuan's camp. Li Er was even more happy when he heard the news. He knew that as long as his army won this battle, the victory would be great, and he might have a chance to seize the food and grass military supplies of the Sui army. So Li Er quickly found Duan Lun and discussed it, suggesting that the time for the dispatch was slightly pushed back. After most of the Sui army entered the open area outside the Lingshi City, Duan Lun agreed again.
On the Sui army, although Cheng Yaojin and Liu Heita were leading the soldiers of the Sui army to the Lingshi Basin fifteen miles away, they did not make up their minds whether to implement Wang Fubao's combat plan. Although Wang Fubao was not anxious about this, he still did his duty to find Cheng Yaojin and Liu Heita and warned: "General Cheng, General Manager Liu, the fighter opportunity is fleeting. If our army does not make up its mind to take the risk of capturing the city today, even if tomorrow comes, the enemy will inevitably be more vigilant. Jiexiu may also dispatch reinforcements to prevent near the Lingshi battlefield. In case of this, we will not give us any better opportunities than today."
Liu Heita and Cheng Yaojin were hesitant and discussed for a while before instructing Wang Fubao: "You should prepare your headquarters first. We will act according to the opportunity later. If there is a chance, we will act according to your plan." Wang Fubao responded to the promise, but Cheng Yaojin and Liu Heita, who did not say anything, were still unsure of this decision. They could only lead the army forward while whispering to discuss whether to take this risk on the march.
The Sui army, which was somewhat physically inadequate, did not march very fast, but an hour later, Xue Renguo's army, who was walking in the front, was the first to enter the 7,000-acre open basin outside Lingshi City. Then Xue Renguo's army immediately lined up in the southeast corner of Lingshi City to prevent the Taiyuan army from leaving the city to raid. Then the Sui army led by Cheng Yaojin also entered the basin, and finally the Liu Heita rear army, which consumed the most physically.
The front army had not yet established a stable foothold, and the rear army had not yet completely walked out of the narrow valley. This moment was undoubtedly the time when the Sui army was most vulnerable and most prone to chaos. Li Er, who was good at capturing, did not hesitate about this. With Duan Lun's order, the east gate of the spirit stone that had been closed before was immediately opened, and the suspension bridge also landed on the ground. Then the Taiyuan army, which had already formed an army in the city, immediately lined up and quickly arranged its formation outside the east gate of the spirit stone.
The incident happened suddenly, and the Sui army was inevitably panicked. While the Taiyuan Army was afraid to take the initiative to fight, the vanguard general Cheng Yaojin subconsciously ordered the army to line up to fight. However, Wang Fubao rushed to Cheng Yaojin quickly and pointed at Xue Renguo, who had already set up the formation before, and quickly suggested: "General Cheng, General Xue should ask General Xue to launch a raid immediately, entangle some of the thieves and disrupt the battlefield, so that we can have more opportunities!"
After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Yaojin made a quick decision and immediately ordered Xue Renguo to launch a raid on the flanks of the Taiyuan Army. Then, while commanding the main force to form a formation, he whispered to Wang Fubao: "General Wang, the opportunity is here, it's up to you!"
"Please rest assured, General!" Wang Fubao bowed his fists and replied solemnly, and then said to Cheng Yaojin: "General, you must be careful too. It is best for you to use a square formation to meet the enemy to reduce casualties."
Cheng Yaojin nodded, Wang Fubao bowed again, and then ran back to his own army to make arrangements. Cheng Yaojin immediately whispered to his subordinates and asked some soldiers to act according to the plan. When Liu Heita saw that the situation was wrong, he immediately made a quick decision and ordered the rear army that had not yet walked out of the valley to stop advancing and protect the food and military supplies on the spot. At the same time, he immediately gathered the front army that had already entered the basin and rushed over to help Cheng Yaojin.
The rapid changes on the battlefield were completely beyond Duan Lun and Li Er's previous expectations. In particular, he did not expect that Xue Renguo's troops of the Sui army would launch a raid immediately and directly attack the flanks of his own army. Without hesitation, Li Er ordered Murong Luohu to divide half of his life forces to fight, collided head-on with Xue Renguo, and launched a fierce melee in the south east and south section of Lingshi City. At the same time, Li Er seized the time to arrange the formation to cover the rear army out of the city and complete the entire team.
Next, something that surprised Duan Lun and Li Er so much that they couldn't believe their eyes happened. Wang Fubao's army, who was arranged by Cheng Yaojin on the right wing of the central army, suddenly turned his spearhead on the formation, pulled the bow and shot arrows at Cheng Yaojin's central army. The Sui army soldiers were in a hurry and were shot one after another, and they fell to the ground with screams. Chaos suddenly appeared on the right side of Cheng Yaojin's central army.
One detail must be explained here. After an unknown Sui army soldier saw his companion being shot in succession, he was accidentally hit by a bow and arrow shot by Wang Fubao's army in a hurry. He still hit the vital point of his chest. He scared the Sui army soldier and let out a dying despair scream. However, the soldier was extremely surprised. After the arrow hit his chest, he landed on his own. Then the soldier looked at the feather arrows on the ground carefully and found that the arrow was actually a very pitiful arrow! Then, another companion immediately pressed the soldier to the ground and ordered: "It's okay to pretend to be dead and injured. This is General Cheng's order!"
Across hundreds of meters, Li Er, Duan Lun and others could not see such small details, nor could they see that the feather arrows were actually just pole arrows. What Li Er, Duan Lun, Murong Luohu and the soldiers of the Taiyuan Army saw was that Wang Fubao, who had already expressed shame yesterday, turned against him and suddenly shot arrows at Cheng Yaojin's central army, and Cheng Yaojin's central army was in chaos due to the sudden change. Then, Li Er, Duan Lun and others saw ecstatically that Cheng Yaojin, who was furious, launched an attack on Wang Fubao's army, and Wang Fubao led more than a thousand Sui troops to run away.
Such a big pie suddenly fell from the sky. If Li Er didn't catch it, he would be stupid. Without hesitation, Li Er immediately ordered a general attack and led Murong Luohu to kill Cheng Yaojin like crazy. Cheng Yaojin was forced to helplessly, so he could only temporarily let the traitor Wang Fubao go and fight with the Taiyuan army. He was completely at a disadvantage because of the chaos in the formation. As soon as he fought, he was forced to move closer to each other and form a square formation to fight.
Liu Heita was also angry with Wang Fubao. Cheng Yaojin, who was at a disadvantage, did not go to rescue him. He led the rear army to chase Wang Fubao's rebels. Wang Fubao did not dare to turn around to fight. He led the army to flee north and gradually fled towards the north gate of Lingshi. Liu Heita pursued him reluctantly and chased him very closely.
Seeing this situation, Duan Lun was ecstatic and immediately ordered the army in the city to prepare to go out of the city to fight, and quickly sent his confidant Yu Dashi to the north city to check Wang Fubao's situation. He also ordered Yu Dashi: "Be prepared to pick him up. If Wang Fubao escapes to the north gate, let him enter the city!"
"General, let them enter the city?" Yu Dashi was stunned, a little surprised.
"Of course!" Duan Lun replied: "This Wang Fubao is both brave and capable, and has a rare talent. Taking him back can not only be of great use, but also sell him a favor to Dou Jiande, so that Dou Jiande can dispatch more troops to help us."
Even Wang Fubao did not expect his move to be so smooth. When he pretended to be chased by Liu Heita and was forced to escape to the North Gate of Lingshi, before Wang Fubao could come out to call the city himself, the North Gate of Lingshi had already opened on its own. At the same time, a Taiyuan Army general shouted on the city: "General Wang Fubao, come to the city quickly, please enter the city!"
Things went too smoothly, which made Wang Fubao a little scared. Facing the dark and deep corridor of the city gate, as well as the Qianjin iron gate and the Taiyuan army ambush that might be hidden inside the gate, Wang Fubao was shaken and hesitated at any time. However, thinking of Cheng Yaojin, who paid a major price to cover himself, and the Sui army soldiers who were killed and injured every minute, Wang Fubao immediately waved his hand and shouted: "Enter the city quickly!"
After saying that, Wang Fubao also rushed to the front, took the lead in crossing the suspension bridge and rushing into the dark city gate corridor. More than a thousand Sui soldiers who followed Wang Fubao to fight south and north did not hesitate and quickly followed. Liu Heita, who was pretending to pursue the situation behind, saw this situation, and his heart suddenly became uncontrollable and violent, and he said to himself: "If Wang Fubao was a fraudulent surrender, or his fraudulent surrender was discovered by the Taiyuan thief army, we would be miserable this time! The army would suffer at least half of the losses!"
There was no Qianjin iron gate above the end of the deep and long city gate corridor that could pose a fatal threat to the Sui army soldiers. There was only Taiyuan military civil and military officials who could not wait to be guarded by the roadside and smiled. While Wang Fubao breathed a sigh of relief, he saw that his army had all approached the corridor. Wang Fubao did not hesitate and immediately drew his sword. Suddenly, he killed the Taiyuan military officials who were saluting him, and shouted, "Do it! Kill!"
While Wang Fubao took action, Wang Fubao's personal soldiers, who had hidden fire and received emergency training, immediately lit the gunpowder bottle and threw it to the Taiyuan army crowd on both sides. With the rumbling and explosion, it was finally the Taiyuan army's turn to catch them off guard. The Sui army soldiers waved their swords and spears together, slashing and stabbing, killing the Taiyuan soldiers howled and ran away with their heads in their arms. At the same time, the Sui army soldiers behind the team immediately cut off the gate soldiers who were closing the door, and rushed out of the city gate to chop the city gate suspension bridge that was slowly twisted. In the crazy secretion of adrenaline, the sling thicker than their arms was cut off by two Sui army soldiers at the same time. The suspension bridge landed on the ground with a loud bang, but the two Sui army warriors who made great contributions fell down the moat.
"God helps our army! Wang Fubao is not a fool to surrender! No!" He roared to the sky like crazy, Liu Heita waved his horse spear and roared again, "Kill! Kill into the city!"
"Kill!" The Sui army soldiers cheered and shouted. As their morale grew, their strength returned to the tired bodies of the Sui army soldiers. While they were cheering, the Sui army soldiers' steps were much faster than usual. They rushed across the suspension bridge and into the city gate corridor, and then rushed into the Lingshi City. Less than half an hour after the war started, a large number of Sui army soldiers had successfully entered the heart of the Taiyuan Army.
The war situation changed so fast that the Taiyuan Army could not imagine it at all. When they heard the explosion from the north gate, Duan Lun thought that it was Yu Dashi who asked his own soldiers to throw gunpowder bottles to blow up Liu Heita, but they didn't care much about it. Then when they received the news that Wang Fubao turned against him, Duan Lun was so shocked that his chin almost dislocated, and murmured in disbelief, "How is it possible? How is it possible? Wang Fubao was a fraudulent surrender? How could he be a fraudulent surrender?"
The Sui army soldiers who had already killed the Lingshi City Wall told Duan Lun whether Wang Fubao was surrendering. After helping Liu Heita to kill the north gate of Lingshi, Wang Fubao, who was best at killing the enemy, immediately led his troops to attack the city gate corridor. He led his troops to the front and led his troops to the north gate of Lingshi City without hesitation. Wang Fubao cut over three or four Taiyuan soldiers who tried to stop them in one breath. He rushed to the north gate of Lingshi City, and then led his troops to chop the Taiyuan army archers caught off guard on the city wall. He avoided the Taiyuan army brigade that had already gathered in the city and fought back to the east gate of Lingshi along the city wall. He not only directly hit the location of Duan Lun's flag formation, but also allowed the soldiers of the two armies under the city to see the situation of their own army, so as to encourage the morale of their own army and attack the enemy's morale, and kill multiple kills in one fell swoop.
There is no need to introduce how much the morale of the army in the cold weapon era is. When you look back and see the Sui army flags appearing on the Lingshi City Wall. When you see your own soldiers rolling down like dumplings, the Taiyuan Army, including Li Er, are stunned and unable to believe their eyes at all. However, the Sui army soldiers were cheering and their morale rose to the peak, and the battle situation completely reversed in an instant. The Sui army soldiers who were at a disadvantage before rushed and fought fiercely, and in a blink of an eye they killed the enemy on the opposite side and retreated step by step. The Taiyuan Army, which was panicked, was in chaos and had no intention of resisting, and Xuan showed an image of defeat.
The time is for the competition to be brave and brave. When the troops are not much different and the geographical advantage is basically equal, the Taiyuan Army is not without a chance to turn defeat into victory. The Sui Army dare not say that it has a stable chance of winning. Both sides still have the chance to defeat their opponents, and both have the chance to win the final victory, and the opportunities are basically equal.
But unfortunately, although the Taiyuan Army, which was always slightly inferior in equipment and training, had certain physical advantages, but the army was flustered and not very motivated. The high morale of the Sui army soldiers completely offset the fatigue disadvantage. At the moment when they saw the dawn of victory, they were not ruthless, and they cut one more ruthless, and stabbed one more fiercely, and they killed the Taiyuan Army soldiers who were already weak in their hands and feet were frightened, becoming more panicked and nervous, making it even more difficult to resist.
There is also a huge gap between the powerful generals. The four generals Cheng Yaojin, Xue Renguo, Wang Fubao and Liu Heita on the Sui army are all famous super fierce men. It is easier to kill people on the battlefield than killing chickens and sheep. Although such courage is not very effective in the battle between the two armies, when it comes to melee and close combat, the huge role of the Sui army's generals is fully played. Inspired by their invincibility, the Sui army soldiers all fought for the first place, and everyone fought bravely, fighting for injuries or even fatality, they had to greet the enemy. In the face of the indomitable momentum of the Sui army soldiers, the Taiyuan army soon showed signs of defeat.
The first one to collapse was of course the Taiyuan Army outside the city. Xue Renguo, the general of the Sui army, known as ten thousand enemies, was not at a disadvantage in the previous battle. The battle situation was completely reversed. Xue Renguo's army was of course the first to gain the absolute advantage. Xue Renguo led the way and chopped four enemy generals in a row, and killed more than 20 enemies with his hands as if he was bloodbathing. The Taiyuan Army fighting with Xue Renguo could not withstand the Sui army's offensive, and could not withstand such fear and pressure. I don't know who called first to take the lead in escaping. The Taiyuan Army collapsed immediately, and the generals and soldiers rushed to escape, and they were all fleeing everywhere.
Xue Renguo, who was able to kill, was not ruthless, and led his subordinates to fight Cheng Yaojin all the way to attack the Taiyuan army inside and outside. Murong Luohu, one of the thirteen general managers of the Taiyuan army, was the first to be attacked. He was extremely unlucky to be stared at his flag by the murdered demon king Xue Renguo, and led the Sui army soldiers to attack his flag. Murong Luohu, who was attacked from both sides, could not resist the Sui army's attack and Xue Renguo's attack. Xue Renguo successfully killed him near him. Murong Luohu raised his courage to raise his gun to meet the enemy, but only fought with Xue Renguo for one round, and was cut off by Xue Renguo's head with a knife, and died tragically under Xue Renguo's knife like in history.
Since Murong Luohu died, the subordinates of Murong Luohu, who had no leader, were naturally scattered and fled to escape. Li Er, who was responsible for the battlefield outside the city, was even more unbearable. The situation in Lingshi City was also equally bad. The Taiyuan Army reserve team that was swarming up the city was limited by the terrain and could not use its military strength to surround Wang Fubao. They could only compete with Wang Fubao's army one by one for the battleships on the city. They were also killed by Wang Fubao's powerful Wang Fubao and retreated step by step. They could not reverse the situation in the city. Wang Fubao's army pursued and fought slowly and unshakablely, and gradually rushed towards Duan Lun's commanding flag.
Liu Heita was also in a state of power in the city. The Taiyuan Army organized two lines of defense in the street fighting. Liu Heita's army, who were both killed, quickly broke through. It was not until the third line of defense that he barely blocked Liu Heita's progress, but the defense line was still shaky and could not support it for long. Liu Heita's army shouted at the top and bottom and was already shouting the slogan of surrendering but not killing.
The defeat of the Taiyuan Army has emerged. Li Er outside the city is already considering whether to lead the army to flee north. Duan Lun, who is still on the city wall, has tears rolling and keeps choking and murmuring, "Dalang, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you, I can't save Lingshi City, and I can't save it just the first day of the war. How did I lose? How did I lose?"
Looking down from the sky, the Sui army team holding the red military flag was like torrents, rushing to boil inside and outside the Lingshi City and above the city walls. The roars and gunshots reflected each other and rushed straight into the sky. The Taiyuan army holding the red and white military flags turned into a pool of mud and sewage, which disappeared as soon as the torrent rushed. The miserable shouts and crying sounds came one after another. The panic defeated soldiers fled all over the mountains and fields, making people unbearable to see them.
The Taiyuan Army can continue to support it. Even if it cannot reverse the situation, it is destined to not be able to persevere in the fight. It can at least make the Sui army soldiers pay a lot of casualties. Unfortunately, Li Er was unwilling to use his life to relieve the pressure of his brother's future. He carefully observed the situation on the battlefield and found that there was no hope of trying to save the Lingshi City. Li Er did not hesitate at all and immediately ordered a breakout to flee north. He led the army around him to the commanding army to break through the Sui army and fled to Jiexiu. The current goal of the Sui army is only Lingshi City, and of course it did not pursue it again. When he chased the Lingshi City, he turned around and rushed into the north gate that had been controlled by Liu Heita's subordinates, and joined the street battle battlefield in the city.
Li Er also ran away. Of course, the Taiyuan Army had no chance to turn defeat into victory. Several Taiyuan Army generals could not withstand the pressure of fear and opened the east gate of the spirit stone and the south gate to escape from the city. There were so many imitators. Yu Dashi, who escaped to the east gate by chance, saw that the situation was not good, and quickly pulled Duan Lun and said, "Mr. Duan, go quickly, the spirit stone can't be defended. Let's take advantage of the opportunity now, let's escape to Jiexiu."
Duan Lun, who had tears on his face, turned a deaf ear. It was when Yu Dashi shook Duan Lun again that Duan Lun opened his mouth and said with tears in his eyes: "You go, I won't leave, I will live and die with Lingshi City."
"General Manager, the spirit stone can no longer be defended!" Yu Dashi stomped his feet in an anxious manner and said anxiously: "The main force of the thief army has completely entered the city, and the right governor has also run away. It is impossible for the left governor to send reinforcements immediately. You have no use except to die in vain! Go! Go quickly!"
"I won't leave!" Duan Lun pushed Yu Dashi away, raised his head and cried bitterly, "The spirit stone was lost in my hands in less than a day. What kind of face do I have to see Dalang and my wife again? What kind of face do I have to see them?"
After crying, Duan Lun wiped away the tears from his face and shouted to his left and right: "If you want to escape, you can leave now. If you are willing to stay and fight to the death, come with me!"
After saying that, Duan Lun drew his sword in his hand and rushed towards the Sui army Wang Fubao's troops who were coming here. Only a very small number of subordinates followed. Most of the Taiyuan army soldiers, including Yu Dashi, escaped from the city wall with tears and escaped from the east gate of the spirit stone that had been opened by the defeated soldiers of his own army. The corridor of the east gate was already filled with the extremely panicked defeated soldiers of the Taiyuan army.
More than half an hour later, Duan Lun, who was hit by three swords, was knocked down the city wall by Sui soldiers and fell to the death. The spirit stone city, which was entrusted by the Li brothers, finally fell into the claws of the Sui army, along with the mountains of food and grass in the city. When Cheng Yaojin, Liu Heita, Xue Renguo and others found Wang Fubao, the chief hero of the war, amid the cheers of the Sui army, they were surprised to see a blood man with four broken arrows inserted into the body. This blood man with wounds on his face was slumped on the steps of the North Gate Tower. He was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to move his fingers. He just forced a little smile and said with blood foam in his mouth, "Several generals, I owe you what I owe you some time ago on the battlefield, and I've paid you back today."
After saying this, Wang Fubao's mouth moved and another stream of blood flowed out.
"Brother Fubao!" Cheng Yaojin opened his arms, hugged Wang Fubao, and choked and said, "Good brother, you didn't owe us, we owe you, we shouldn't doubt you! We shouldn't doubt you! You are a good brother, a good man!"
Chapter completed!
