"Anyone who stands in my way will die!"
Yang Zaixing took the lead, sideways dodging the long spear pierced by three oblique thorns. The spear in his hand pierced out like a poisonous snake emerging from its hole, and pierced the body of the Tang Army infantry in front of him with a pop. With a flick of his wrist, he suddenly lifted the body up and threw it far away, knocking down four or five Tang soldiers.
"Ding dong, it is detected that Yang Zaixing has entered the state of death, the force is +2, and the current force is increased to 109."
Yang Zaixing rode his horse like the wind, and ran into the Tang army's formation first. He charged forward and attacked with his long spear, and there was no enemy in front of the horse.
"General Yang is mighty, brothers, kill him!"
When Gao Siji saw Yang Zaixing showing off his power, he immediately shouted loudly, then rode his horse into the crowd and started killing people. The originally shining silver armor was stained with blood in just a moment.
"Kill the Tang thief!"
"Fight with these local dogs from Guanzhong!"
The bravery of the generals and the bravery of the generals exaggerated every Sui soldier. Nearly 10,000 Sui cavalrymen waved their swords and shouted loudly and charged into the Tang army. They slashed with long swords and stabbed with horses. In the chaos of the army They cut and slashed heavily, causing the Tang army's formation to be in chaos for a while.
"Damn it, General Shan, General Wang, you two immediately lead the cavalry to rush forward and stop the attack momentum of these madmen!" Li Jilong has been in the army for many years and knows that infantry is inherently at a disadvantage against cavalry, but Li Shimin's surprise attack on Hulao Pass At that time, a large number of elite cavalry were taken away, and Li Jilong could only use the human sea tactic when ambushing.
However, Yang Zaixing was determined to die and all his soldiers fought to the death. If the killing continues like this, even if the Sui army can be completely wiped out, the Tang army will suffer extremely heavy casualties. Li Jilong made a prompt decision and ordered Shan Shituo and Wang Junke to lead the only four thousand cavalry to attack. Although he knew that after the war, these four thousand cavalry would most likely be lost. But he had no choice. If he did not curb the Sui army's offensive momentum, the loss would be far more than 4,000 people.
"I will obey your orders!"
The mountain lion camel accepted the order without hesitation, and immediately urged his horse to kill him. Wang Junke's mouth twitched slightly, obviously wanting to say something. But when he saw Li Jilong's cold eyes, he closed his mouth wisely, cupped his hands, and ran forward with the knife in hand.
Mountain Lion Tuo and Wang Junke led four thousand cavalry into the Sui army from the front, and the Tang army's infantry, which had been killed and was in disarray, quickly surrounded them and supported the cavalry from both wings. For a moment, the sound of shouting and neighing on the battlefield was deafening, and flesh and blood flew everywhere amid the flash of swords and shadows.
"Yang Zaixing, you thief, I was careless just now and let you kid get an advantage. Now come and fight me for three hundred rounds!" Among the rebels, the mountain lion and camel roared like thunder, waving the gold-plated in their hands to clear the way, competing. Take Yang Zaixing, who is leading the Sui army.
"Ding dong, it has been detected that the mountain lion has entered a revengeful mood. The force is increased by 2. The current force is increased to 110."
Seeing the mountain lion and camel riding towards him, Yang Zaixing snorted disdainfully, raised his spear and leaped to meet him: "My defeated general, I was lucky enough to let you escape just now, and now I must send you back to the west!"
The two heroes once again fought together, but this time the mountain lion camel learned his lesson and went all out, fighting Yang Zaixing inextricably.
Wang Junke, on the other hand, was quite afraid of the bravery of the Sui generals. He did not dare to fight with the Sui generals no matter what. He hid in the chaos and killed some Sui soldiers who came to his door from time to time.
Although the Tang army had more troops, it could not withstand the fierceness of the Sui army, and the battle fell into a stalemate. The armies of the Sui and Tang Dynasties were entangled, and both sides suffered casualties. It didn't take long for the plain surrounded by hills to become littered with corpses and rivers of blood.
"General Li, why did you stop the crossbowmen from firing arrows? Isn't the best way to deal with the cavalry at this time suppressing them with bows and arrows?"
Wang Renze had followed Wang Shichong and fought with the Tang army for many years, and they had a deep hatred for each other. It was naturally impossible for Li Jilong to let him lead the Tang army in battle so quickly. Wang Renze was well aware of this, so he turned back before the formation and ran back to the Tang army, following Li Jilong all the time. Seeing the stalemate in the battle, he immediately spoke.
Li Jilong glared at Wang Renze displeasedly and said: "Now the enemy and our armies are fighting together. If random arrows are fired, I don't know how many soldiers will be accidentally injured in the hands of my brothers!"
Wang Renze chuckled: "Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. How can a general with such a benevolent woman assist the King of Qin to achieve great things? Yang Zaixing's troops are the elite of the hundreds of thousands of Sui troops in the Central Plains. They have strong combat power. With only a few thousand cavalry, And these infantrymen, even if they kill for a day and a night, they still can't kill Yang Zaixing. When the Sui army in Luoyang City receives the news and comes out to respond, I'm afraid Mr. Keming's plan will be ruined because of the general's womanly kindness!"
Since Du Ruhui and Li Jilong did not fully trust Wang Renze, they did not tell him the full plan. Therefore, Wang Renze believed that the purpose of the Tang army was to completely annihilate Yang Zaixing's troops and frighten the Luoyang defenders.
When Li Jilong heard this, he became furious and waved his riding crop to hit Wang Renze. But at this moment, Du Ruhui's lukewarm voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "General Li, what he said does make sense. Order the arrows to be fired."
Li Jilong trembled when he heard this, looked at Du Ruhui in disbelief, and murmured: "Mr. Keming, isn't our plan to capture Hanjiacang City? We don't need to deal with Yang Zaixing's troops at all costs, right?"
Li Shimin's two most important counselors in history were Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui. Later generations rated them as Fang Mou Du Duan, which means that Fang Xuanling was always able to put forward incisive opinions and specific methods, but was often unable to make decisions. Du Ruhui, on the other hand, is good at analyzing problems briefly and making final decisions.
Such an evaluation is indeed fair. Under such circumstances, if Fang Xuanling were here, he would never issue any orders. But Du Ruhui was able to weigh the pros and cons and make a decision quickly.
He shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "The target of this battle is indeed Hanjiacang City, but there are also capable people in Luoyang City. If we don't do it more ruthlessly, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch his eye."
Li Jilong was nominally the temporary commander-in-chief of the Tang army, but Du Ruhui was Li Shimin's confidant. Li Shimin left him here as his spokesperson in the army before leaving, and what Du Ruhui said did make sense. Although he couldn't bear it, Li Jilong still gave the order to release the arrow.
The arrows were like flying locusts. Both the Sui and Tang armies were fighting with all their strength. There was no room left to dodge the arrows. For a while, screams were heard, and countless soldiers fell to the ground in response, dying with their eyes open.
