Yang Ye is also a veteran who has been in the military for many years. When he heard what Chang Yuchun said, he immediately understood the intentions of the Wagang Army and hurriedly said: "General Chang, the Wagang Army obviously intends to penetrate the two wings. Why don't Lin Chong and Hua Rong shoot arrows to suppress them? Woolen cloth?"
Chang Yuchun shook his head helplessly, "What a weapon! Old general, look, the infantry of the Wagang Army are less than 200 steps away from the cavalry on both wings. It is very easy to accidentally injure our cavalry when suppressed by bows and arrows."
Yang Ye couldn't help but feel anxious, "What should we do now?"
Chang Yuchun let out a long sigh, "In the past few days, we have been fighting against Li Mi repeatedly, which led me to despise Li Mi. I thought that this guy was extremely arrogant and would only resort to central breakthrough methods. Send an order to Lin Chong and Hua Rong to let them Retreat immediately."
Yang Ye seemed to understand something and said worriedly: "General Chang, one hundred thousand infantrymen in the Wagang Army are ready in front of the formation, probably waiting for us to attack."
Chang Yuchun smiled bitterly: "Old General, this is a helpless move for me. If the infantry of the Wagang Army is penetrated by two lines, the formation of the front army will be disrupted. Wu Tianxi and Pang Shigu's tens of thousands of cavalry roaming on both sides of the Wagang Army will probably We will attack quickly and annihilate our front army’s 20,000 soldiers in one fell swoop.”
After a pause, Chang Yuchun's eyes were full of determination: "According to time, the armies of General Li Yaoshi and General Xue Rengui will arrive today and tomorrow, and they are only one step away from victory. Today I, Chang Yuchun, Even if it means death, we must wait until reinforcements arrive!"
Yang Ye had an epiphany, picked up the sword in his hand, and laughed and said: "General Chang, I have not experienced such a war for more than ten years since I was dismissed from office in the fifth year of Daye. Today, I will sacrifice my life to accompany you, and to join General Chang." Risk your life on the battlefield!”
Chang Yuchun laughed and said: "Chang Yuchun is lucky to be able to fight on the battlefield with the old general!"
In the Wagang military formation, Wang Zuo, Bing Yuanzhen and other counselors laughed loudly and said: "King Wei, look, the more than 40,000 Sui troops in the rear line have already pressed forward. They are exhausted."
Li Mi nodded and said with a spring breeze on his face: "Send the order to Zhu Wen, Wu Tianxi, and Pang Shigu. The whole army will attack. I will defeat the main force of the Sui army and capture Yang Gao'er alive."
Boom, boom, boom! ! !
Hundreds of drums in the Wagang military formation were beaten at the same time, and smoke and dust billowed on the ground where hundreds of thousands of troops stepped on them, creating an earth-shaking momentum and charging forward like a tide.
. . . . . . . . . .
While the Sui army and the Wagang army were fighting in a bloody battle, an uninvited guest appeared in the Wagang army camp in Xiangling.
This man has dark skin, a full beard, a pair of big copper-bell eyes, a wide nose and a wide mouth, and a face full of flesh. He is none other than Cheng Yaojin, the former veteran of Wagang Village.
Cheng Yaojin originally followed Qin Qiong and was stationed in Huainan. Half a month ago, Yang Gao ordered him to be transferred to the front line and assigned him a task. He hoped that he could use his popularity among the Wagang army to win over a group of Wagang rebels. Military general.
It was also God who blessed Cheng Yaojin, and Li Mi sent out all his troops. General Wagang who stayed behind at the Xiangling camp was none other than his former general acquaintance You Junda. Cheng Yaojin was overjoyed when he heard the news, and immediately asked Yang Gao for orders to go to Xiangling Camp to speak against You Junda.
Walking on the mountain trail, Cheng Yaojin felt mixed emotions in his heart.
Cheng Yaojin's martial arts skills were mediocre, and he was able to rank among the best in the Wagang Army all because of his good popularity. However, the Sui Army's military tactics were strict, and the practice of calling brothers and sisters in the Wagang Army did not work at all. In addition, he often cheated and violated military discipline, so after a few years, he was still a small general under Qin Qiong's account. The official positions of Wagang brothers Luo Shixin and Niu Jinda, who arrived later than him, are now unknown.
Cheng Yaojin himself had a very good reputation, and several of his former good brothers were doing well in the Sui army, but he was the only one who still relegated himself to the rank of subordinate. So this time, Cheng Yaojin was determined to convince You Junda no matter what. As long as You Junda cuts off Li Mi's retreat, then Cheng Yaojin has made a great contribution in this battle of the Central Plains, and his official position will definitely rise several levels.
However, the further they walked, the more panicked Cheng Yaojin became. Although he and Youjunda had a good relationship, they were each their own masters. If Youjunda accepted his death and kidnapped himself as a traitor to see Li Mi, then he would not He said that he was promoted and made rich, and even his head was gone. Li Milian even killed Zhai Rang, who was so kind to him, not to mention that he, the person who betrayed him, was not to be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts. It was already a blessing.
Unknowingly, the Wagang Army Camp was already in front of us. Cheng Yaojin hid in a forest and struggled for a long time. Finally, for the sake of his own future, he gritted his teeth and rode out. He came to the Wagang military camp and yelled at the soldiers on the wall with a broken voice: "Brothers above. , please tell your general You Junda that an old friend is here to see him."
In the military camp, You Junda, who was left behind, was drinking alone. Since Li Mi killed Zhai Rang, he has been more careful with the veterans of the Wagang Army. Except for Shan Xiongxin, most of the other brothers have been marginalized. He, You Junda, was also a brave general in the Wagang Army in the past. , but now he is so depressed that he can only look at the gate.
At this time, the captain guarding the camp gate walked into the tent and reported politely: "General You, there is a man coming from outside the camp. He said he is an old friend of the general and wants to see the general."
"Old person?" You Junda was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who is it?"
The soldier whispered: "General, it's... Cheng Yaojin."
"What?"
You Junda stood up and hurriedly whispered: "Invite him in quickly, be careful, don't let Li Mi's people find out."
"yes!"
This captain was You Junda's confidant. He immediately understood and accepted the order.
It didn't take long for the captain to bring Cheng Yaojin into You Junda's tent. As soon as Cheng Yaojin entered the camp, a strong smell of alcohol hit his nose. Smelling such a strong smell of alcohol, Cheng Yaojin was secretly happy. It seemed that You Junda was not doing well in the Wagang Army. Otherwise, how could he have dared to drink so much alcohol during the war.
"Old You. We haven't seen each other for a few years. Are you embarrassed to let your old friend stand and drink alone?" Cheng Yaojin grinned at You Junda.
You Junda snorted coldly, "We were brothers back then, but now we are each our own masters. I am already being polite to you by not killing you."
Cheng Yaojin chuckled, and regardless of what You Junda said, he walked up to You Junda carelessly, picked up the wine bottle in front of him and drank from it.
After drinking a bottle of wine, Cheng Yaojin slowly put down the bottle, wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "Don't I know you, You Junda? Do you seem like someone who would attack your brothers?"
You Junda looked at Cheng Yaojin in front of him and shook his head helplessly, "Okay, Brother Cheng. Just don't get close to me. Just tell me, what are you doing here?"
