Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 475 Fighting Xingyang

Update at zero o'clock, and ask for tickets for three consecutive updates!

Two troops from Luoyang, the eastern capital, went out to pacify the chaos, one went to Hanoi to reinforce Linqing Pass, and the other went to Xingyang to reinforce Hulao Pass.

Xingyang and Hulao Pass.

The east gate of Luoyang was currently guarded by Pei Renji, the comfort ambassador of Henan, and Zhang Xutuo, the prefect of Xingyang, the ambassador of arrest.

Pei Hongce, Prime Minister of Henan Province, led [-] soldiers from the Eastern Capital to help.

"Where is Yang Ni?"

As soon as Pei Hongce entered Hulao Pass, he immediately asked.

"A few days ago, Bandit Yang couldn't break through Linqing Pass, so he turned back to Ji County, crossed the Yellow River in the south and entered Dong County, and now he is heading for Hulao Pass."

Pei Hongce was not very happy when he heard it.

"Both of them are famous generals in a hundred battles, and they are both known as tigers. Why do you sit here and watch Yang's bandits wreak havoc, why don't you lead your troops to suppress them?"

Pei Renji then explained, "Yang Nibing has a lot of troops, and he came straight to the Eastern Capital, so after discussing with Ambassador Zhang, I thought that we can relax here and wait for him to come to our door. We can also take the opportunity to seize the time and recruit all The county soldiers and horses gathered in Xingyang, and Yang Ni will fight decisively at that time, and he will be wiped out in one battle."

This was a solid decision, but Pei Hongce, who came from Luoyang, mocked the two for their timidity.

Although he was only a county magistrate, after all, he came here under the orders of the Yue king Yang Yu and Fan Zigai who were left behind in Luoyang, and he was the chief general of the Dongdu reinforcements.

"Since the two of you dare not go out to fight, then guard the Hulao pass for a certain person, and wait for a certain person to leave the pass tomorrow to go to Dongjun to destroy Yang Ni, the thief!"

Zhang Xutuo was humiliated by Pei Hongce, but he remained calm.

"General Pei must not underestimate the enemy, Yang Ni's morale is high, so he must be careful."

But Pei Hongce didn't listen to it. He thought that since Yang Xuangan couldn't fight before Linqing Pass, he was no match for him. After all, Linqing Pass was weaker.

After Pei Hongce walked out, Pei Renji smiled and said to Zhang Xutuo, "I've never seen such an arrogant person."

"After all, it's understandable that civil servants lead the army sometimes." Zhang Xutuo sighed. He and Pei Renji both came from the martial arts family, and they started their careers with military merits. There is still a difference from civil officials like Pei Hongce.

"Then leave him alone?"

"Let him try Yang Xuan's sense of reality, but our task is to guard the Hulao Pass. After all, things are in a hurry, and we don't have many soldiers on hand at the moment."

If it were ordinary thieves, Zhang Xutuo would definitely send troops to encircle and suppress them, but after all, the opponent was Yang Xuangan. What Zhang Xutuo was most worried about was not how many people Yang Xuangan had, but how many people would respond to him.

Once Xingyang is lost, Luoyang will be in danger. No matter what, Zhang Xutuo cannot let Yang Xuangan kill Luoyang City.

To be on the safe side, I can only wait here first.

Early the next morning.

Sure enough, Pei Hongce led his own [-] Dongdu soldiers out of the pass to Dongjun.

As soon as the eight thousand Dongdu soldiers arrived at the edge of the canal, they encountered Yang Xuangan's forward.

Yang Xuangan's younger brother, Yang Xuanting personally led two thousand Qingqi as the vanguard. Although there were only two thousand cavalry, it was an elite team.Not the mob that hastily assembled.

The two armies met at Xingze County on the edge of the canal.

The two armies met unexpectedly.

On one side is the Luoyang Army of the Eastern Capital with 8000 troops, 2000 fine cavalry and [-] infantry.

Their equipment seems to be a bit varied, because these 2000 people come from several systems such as government soldiers, bandits, and county soldiers, so the equipment is different.

In this way, the difference between the two armies is very obvious.

Before the station opened, Dongdu soldiers were already mocking Yang Xuanting's rags.

Even many officers were familiar with Yang Xuanting. After all, they were the children of top honors before, and they blatantly mocked Yang Xuanting.

But Yang Xuanting let them ridicule, but did not respond.

"Prepare!"

Yang Xuanting ordered in a cold voice, and took the lead in waving his horse.

There is no trick at all, meeting is tough.

Yang Xuanting rode his horse in front, and one rider was like a thousand.

The two thousand seemingly disorderly rebel cavalry followed closely behind.

The two armies confront each other and fight hard.

Less than half an hour into the battle, something unbelievable happened.

The eight thousand Luoyang soldiers were outnumbered and gradually collapsed.

First the infantry was defeated, then the cavalry followed suit, and finally the chaos became a mess.

Although the eight thousand Luoyang soldiers were under the command of Pei Hongce, most of the officers below were the sons of nobles and relatives, and all of them were awesome. When fighting, they didn't obey orders at all and just beat themselves.

The result was that the 8000 people had no command, let alone a tacit understanding, but Yang Xuanting's 2000 people all obeyed his command.

Pei Hongce was defeated.

Retreat into Xingze County.

After sitting down and drinking a few cups of tea, he finally quenched his thirst. Pei Hongce was still very unwilling to fail.

After summing up the experience of failure, he thought it was the bad things of those disciples, and after summoning these people to scold them, he ordered to regroup and go out of the city to fight again.

This time he gave an order, without his order, no one should act recklessly, he wanted to defeat Yang Xuanting in an upright manner.

Pei Hongce led the flustered defeated army out of the city again, and assembled outside the city.

At this time, Yang Xuanting led the army up.

It's just that after seeing Pei Hongce's army formation, Yang Xuanting didn't attack immediately this time, but instead ordered him to sit down and rest.

Nearly two thousand Qingqi dismounted like that and sat on the ground.

"What?"

Pei Hongce couldn't understand it, and neither could the officers.

Just after losing the battle, Pei Hongce didn't dare to take the big one, and didn't dare to attack if he didn't understand it.

So Yang Xuanting led the army to dismount and sat on the ground to rest.

And Pei Hongce led thousands of troops, standing in a neat formation and watching from a distance.

I watched it for a long time.

After a long time, even Pei Hongce became a little impatient.

"It seems that these traitors are really tired."

"Why don't we kill them?" A disciple of the Xun Qi asked.

Pei Hongce frowned, feeling that there was no confidence in taking the initiative to attack, "Forget it, let's stand behind the city and wait for them to attack."

But after waiting for another half day, the rebels still did not come to attack, and they still sat there to rest.

Now the Dongdu soldiers are not happy, but the rebels are sitting there comfortably. Although it is early summer, but the sun is lining up in the army, wearing armor and holding weapons for a long time, it is also a mouthful parched.

Gradually, many Dongdu soldiers also relaxed their vigilance, and some even began to take off their iron helmets and armor.

In the end, even Pei Hongce himself untied his armor, wanting to breathe.

Yang Xuanting over there has been observing the Dongdu soldiers here. Seeing that this has been a confrontation for nearly two hours, the Dongdu soldiers have completely relaxed, and he smiled.

Although they have been dismounting to rest, they never take off their armor, never leave their spears, and never leave their horses.

"Get on the horse and kill!"

Yang Xuanting shouted loudly, jumped on the horse suddenly, and took the lead, leading his troops to kill the officers and soldiers.

The rebel Qingqi, who had rested enough, rushed into the panicked Dongdu soldiers like wolves and tigers, and a one-sided massacre began.

In just a moment, Pei Hongce and his several thousand soldiers were defeated at the foot of Xingze City. Eight thousand Dongdu soldiers, after the two battles, only Pei Hongce fled to Xingyang Hulao Pass with a hundred or so cavalry, and more The soldiers couldn't even escape into Xingze City behind them, because the officials in Xingze City saw the defeat of the officers and soldiers and didn't open the city gate to let them in at all, so many Dongdu soldiers had to turn around and surrender to Yang Xuanting.

Under the watchful eyes of the officials and people in Xingze City calmly, Yang Xuanting disarmed thousands of Dongdu soldiers. They first replaced themselves with excellent equipment, and finally recruited these defeated soldiers under their command.
