At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 529
In the early morning of the second day, Gao Shida indeed led [-] main forces to advance towards Yang Yichen's camp, posing a decisive battle posture, but Yang Yichen stood still in the face of the menacing Gao Shida, but ordered to stick to the camp to resist the enemy.

Gao Shida then sent people forward to scold and fight in turn, and even ordered people to send a set of shrouds to Yang Yichen, but the latter remained unmoved and insisted on staying at the camp.

As a result, Gao Shida thought that the old man Yang Yichen was going to be sick, so he ordered an attack on Yang Yichen's camp. A tragic bloody battle lasted from morning to noon, and from noon to night before Gao Shida ordered to call for gold. Withdraw the troops and fight again at dawn.

"Gao Shida is going to die." Gao Bufan asserted after receiving the news from Lu Sheng from the front line.

Yang Yichen has nearly 20,000 people under his command, all of whom are elite soldiers brought from Luoyang, the eastern capital. Army, a direct decisive battle may not be the opponent of Yang Yichen's 40,000 regular army, let alone a tough battle.

Moreover, Yang Yichen has not ordered Lu Sheng to join the battle so far, which shows that he is consuming Gao Shida's strength and morale.As the saying goes, go all out, then decline, and exhaust three times.The morale of Gao Shida's tribe is at its peak today, so Yang Yichen can't stand firm to avoid his edge. When the morale of Gao Shida's tribe drops tomorrow, Yang Yichen will probably take action. Once he launches a full-scale counterattack, Gao Shida will undoubtedly lose.

Fortunately, according to the news sent back by Lu Sheng, the flags of Dou Jiande and the Detachment of Women were not seen on the battlefield. It can be seen that Dou Jiande and Xianniang did not participate in the battle, so Gao Bufan immediately relaxed a lot. As long as Xianniang is not in danger, Gao Shida will not die , he didn't care at all.

The next day, Gao Shida fought again, attacking Yang Yichen's camp, and fought until noon. Just when Gao Shida's men were about to withdraw to have lunch, there was a fierce war drum beating in Yang Yichen's camp, and then a The cavalry rushed towards the retreating Gao Shida.

During this period of time, Gao Shida's troops defeated Yang Yichen several times in a row. In addition to these two days, Yang Yichen's men only dared to hide in the camp and did not dare to come out. Youzaiyouzai, I didn't expect that the enemy cavalry would take the opportunity to rush out, so I was caught off guard on the spot.

Gao Shida hurriedly mobilized the cavalry to go up to the rescue, and then he stabilized his position. But at this time, there was another drum beating in Yang Yichen's camp, and a 3000-people infantry rushed out from the left wing like a tide, and then the right wing also killed them. Three thousand infantry came out, rushing forward like water flooding a golden mountain.

Gao Shida's forehead was dripping with fine sweat, he faintly felt that something was wrong, he hastily mobilized troops to fight, at this moment, another group of troops came from the side, and they raised the flag of Zhuo County.

Gao Shida was taken aback, he only thought that Gao Changqing, who stayed behind in Zhuo County, had come, this guy was almost wiped out by Gao Bufan last time in Hejian County, and there is still a shadow.

In fact, the troops killed from the side were not Gao Bufan, but the [-] vanguard army led by Lu Sheng, but it was enough for Gao Shida to drink a pot. The [-] regular troops attacked from three directions and killed them immediately Gao Shida's team retreated steadily, constantly shrinking the front line.

At this moment, Yang Yichen was standing on the archery tower in the camp and watching the situation on the battlefield. Although his hair was gray, his waist was straight and his eyes were piercing. How could he look sick?

"The Youzhou army under Gao Changqing's command is really powerful." Yang Yichen saw that the 3000 people led by Lu Sheng advanced quickly, faster than the other two, and couldn't help but blurted out his praise, but his expression soon became complicated. .

The two sides fought fiercely for half an hour, and blood flowed like rivers. Yang Yichen saw that the scale of victory had tipped to his side, so he ordered the whole army to attack, and all the gates of the camp were opened in an instant. The eight thousand main forces of the Chinese army were like a mountain torrent without a dike He rushed out like a gallop, and slapped Gao Shida's position violently.

Gao Shida's troops were already out of support, and when the eight thousand main forces of the Sui army arrived, there was chaos on the spot, and they were about to collapse.

Gao Shida's clothes were drenched with cold sweat, and he also felt regretful. At this moment, he finally realized the huge gap between the combat power of his subordinates and the regular army.

The two sides fought fiercely for another half an hour, and finally, the left wing of Gao Shida's troops did not retreat first, which immediately caused an avalanche effect, and the whole line was defeated in an instant. direction to flee.

Gao Shida's escape was even more serious. Tens of thousands of people under his command scattered like birds and beasts. The Sui army took advantage of the victory to pursue and kill them, just like cutting melons and vegetables. Countless bandits were beheaded and captured.

The news of Gao Shida's defeat was quickly sent back to Changhe County by Tan Ma. Dou Jiande had already prepared for it. As soon as he got the news, he immediately abandoned Changhe County without hesitation, and quickly retreated to Gaojibo with 1000 people.

However, when Dou Jiande arrived near Gaojibo, countless sharp arrows suddenly shot out from the dense grass forest by the roadside, killing and injuring nearly a hundred people at once, and even Dou Jiande was almost killed by the arrows.

"There is an ambush, turn around and go north!" Dou Jiande hastily ordered to withdraw to the north, and finally got out of range. As a result, when he was still in shock, another wave of arrows came from the side hillside.

Dou Jiande was so frightened that he couldn't care less about his subordinates, and fled to Gaojibo under the protection of dozens of soldiers!
At this time, a group of men and horses came down from the hillside and shouted: "Dou Jiande has escaped, catch Dou Jiande, there will be a lot of rewards!"

But seeing the general led by this group of people riding a yellow fat horse, with a sallow complexion and a pair of cooked bronze maces, it is Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao.

I saw Qin Shubao rushing down from the hillside first, and smashed a head with a mace. Wherever he passed, he would be injured if he touched it, and he would die if he touched it. Scattered and fled.

After Qin Shubao killed the thieves, he immediately rode his horse and chased in the direction where Dou Jiande was escaping. The others were small fish and shrimps, and Dou Jiande was the big fish, so he must not be allowed to escape.

Let’s say that Dou Jiande fled to the edge of Gaojibo under the protection of dozens of soldiers, but he deviated from the place where he and Dou Xianniang had agreed to board the boat.

"Dou Jiande, get off the horse quickly and be tied up, and you will be spared from death for the time being!" Qin Qiong Liyuan shouted, his voice was like rolling thunder.

Dou Jiande raised his eyes and saw a big man with a yellow face riding a horse galloping towards him, holding two yellow cooked copper maces, each of which weighed at least thirty or forty catties, his arm strength was really scary, obviously he was not easy to mess with.

"Elder Sima, please go first, and your subordinates stop this Sui general." A young soldier shouted loudly.

This person's name is Su Lie, and his name is Dingfang. He is the adopted son of Gao Yaxian, a staff member under Dou Jiande's command. He is quite brave, so he was chosen by Dou Jiande as his personal soldier.

Dou Jiande heard the words and said happily: "Then you should be more careful." After speaking, he beat his horse and fled downstream along the water's edge.

- Whoosh!

Su Dingfang bent his bow and set up an arrow, and Qin Shubao, the opponent, shot an arrow at his chest. The latter swung the bronze mace with his left hand and smashed the sharp arrow out. The speed did not slow down, and he continued to rush forward, like a tiger descending a mountain.

Su Dingfang's heart trembled slightly, and he fired three arrows in a row, two arrows took the mount, and one arrow shot at Qin Shubao's throat.

Qin Shubao's complexion changed, and he hurriedly leaned over the horse's back, dodged the arrow in the throat, and at the same time swung his mace to sweep away the arrow that was aimed at the mount, but the remaining arrow still wounded the mount's front leg. With a cry of grief under the pain, the horse stumbled and threw Qin Qiong flying.

Qin Qiong was in mid-air, and the two maces slammed together, making a "bang bang" sound, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, which scared Su Dingfang's mount to piss and pee, and Su Dingfang himself was so shocked that his ears were buzzing .

At this time, Qin Qiong's men had landed on the ground, rolled forward and jumped up, the copper mace in his right hand whined, and with the strong wind, it spun and smashed towards Su Dingfang, tsk tsk, if you are hit by this thing, even if you are a copper-skinned iron bone, you can't bear it Can't live.

Su Dingfang was horrified, and hurriedly rolled off his horse in embarrassment!

bang...

The bronze mace hit the horse's head, and there was a teeth-stinging fracture sound on the spot, just like hitting a watermelon. The head of Su Dingfang's horse collapsed, and he fell to the ground and died violently before he could even scream.

Seeing his mount being crushed to death, Su Dingfang couldn't help being startled and angry, he raised his hand and shot an arrow, Qin Qiong rolled on the spot, and the sharp arrow sank into the ground.

Su Dingfang took the opportunity to turn around and run, and plunged headlong into the reeds. Qin Qiong jumped up to chase after him, but two arrows swished out from the reeds, so anxious and fast that he had to lie down again in a hurry.

It turned out that the two arrows were not taken by Qin Qiong, but Qin Qiong's injured and fallen horse, which hit both eyes. The poor yellow fat horse screamed and struggled in pain on the spot, and died in a short while!

Qin Qiong was shocked and furious, who is this young man, who is so good at archery, and has a strong desire for revenge, if I kill him, he will kill me back!
At this time, Qin Qiong's men and horses came one after another, so Qin Qiong changed a horse and continued to chase along the hoof tracks.

At this time, Dou Jiande finally escaped to the place where the boat was moored. Everyone abandoned their horses and hurried on board. The boatman was about to sail, but Dou Jiande shouted: "Wait a minute, Dingfang hasn't caught up yet, wait a little longer."

"Da Sima, we can't wait any longer, the pursuers will arrive soon." All the soldiers said anxiously.

"Wait a little longer!" Dou Jiande said in a deep voice.

After a while, he heard the sound of hooves like thunder, and there were cavalrymen looming in the reeds in the distance. If the reeds were not blocking them, they would have killed them in an instant.

"I can't wait any longer." The soldiers hurriedly pushed the boat away from the shore. At this moment, a figure rushed towards him, it was Su Dingfang.

Dou Jiande was overjoyed, waved his hands and shouted: "Dingfang, jump up!"

Su Dingfang took a run-up and landed on the boat. Dou Jiande patted him on the shoulder and said happily: "Good job, you will be the general of my Shesheng Battalion from now on."
