Chapter 1520 Divine soldiers descend from heaven
"Pass the order down, let the soldiers bring more kerosene and rockets, with swords and shields in front and bows and arrows in the back, to attack the enemy!" Yang Lin thought for a long time, discussed with Yang Yong again, and finally decided to give it a try and completely defeat the enemy today.

Otherwise, the longer time goes on, the more dangerous the Sui Dynasty will be!
As for kerosene and rockets, they are naturally used to deal with tanks. If the enemy still wants to hide in the tanks and not come out to fight, then the kerosene and rockets can burn all the tanks, which will become their death warrant.

So under the command of Yang Lin, the Yingyang Army regrouped and launched a new round of offensive.

At this time, Yang Lin actually hoped that the enemy could continue to hide in the Queyue Formation, so that kerosene and rockets could be used to make roast chicken on the spot.

However, the enemy general once again anticipated his actions. When the Yingyang Army attacked, a large number of infantrymen came out of the chariot formation and formed a formation not far in front of the Queyue formation, obviously intending to meet the enemy head-on.

At the same time, the chariots began to retreat to make more space on the battlefield.

"It's better that you come out. Then I'll let you taste the true strength of my Yingyang Army!" Yang Lin said with gritted teeth. Although it was a pity that he couldn't roast them into roast chickens with kerosene, his own carefully trained infantry could definitely teach them a lesson.

After that, the other side seemed to have no more conspiracies or tricks, and the armies of both sides finally collided head-on. The two super-large armies consisting of 10 people finally started a head-on decisive battle.

At the beginning of the battle, the Yingyang Army truly demonstrated its strength as a field army. The front row of the coalition forces of the Imperial Guard and the City Defense Army were forced to retreat. However, in about half an hour, the entire front line had retreated to the extent that the waves on the Wei River could be seen.

This did not surprise Yang Lin. If the Yingyang Army could not even do these things, they would not be the Yingyang Army that he had trained so carefully.

In fact, Yang Lin was very surprised, because the coalition forces of the Imperial Guards and the City Defense Army actually held on. These old masters who had been hiding in Chang'an City and living a carefree life were able to fight with the Yingyang Army for an hour without collapsing, and only retreated a few steps. This was simply incredible. Which old army was this?

So Yang Lin began to observe the entire battle formation carefully, and then Yang Lin discovered that, first of all, the enemy's command was extremely sophisticated. The opposing general also knew what kind of people the imperial guards and city defense troops were, so the changes in the war were very fast. Whenever a unit was about to collapse, the next unit would be sent down immediately, so that no unit would fight alone for more than half an hour, and at the same time, the casualties of the entire unit were controlled at about 5%.

The replaced troops will immediately go back to rest, reorganize, etc., and continue to fight after their morale is restored.

Secondly, a large number of troops still used bows and arrows, using a large amount of arrow rain to suppress their own army and consume the offensive momentum of the Yingyang Army.

In addition, the most crucial thing is that the enemy actually has more than a dozen powerful generals, and these generals are simply monsters. They are wearing armor and fighting tirelessly at the forefront of the front line for about an hour without retreating.

The soldiers around these fierce generals were real veterans who were found from nowhere. These veterans were able to easily cooperate with their generals to wipe out the remnant troops and prevent the generals from being surrounded.

It was precisely because of the presence of these brave generals and a few veterans that the morale of the surrounding guards and city defense forces was boosted, giving them the confidence to stop the offensive of the Eagle Army, making the entire battle situation extremely tense.

However, Yang Lin was still full of confidence. After all, the Yingyang Army was about to force the entire coalition forces to the Wei River. If they retreated further, they would have no choice but to jump into the river. And these coalition forces were obviously incapable of fighting such a fierce war, so collapse was inevitable... Just give him another hour!

What Yang Lin didn't know was that Li Jing on the other side was looking at the direction of the sun in the sky, and then muttered, "It's time, it's time to come!"

As these words fell, a dozen dark and hazy figures suddenly appeared at the end of the Wei River. As these figures went upstream, they gradually became clearer.

These were tall warships that went upstream from the upper reaches of the Wei River and joined the battlefield.

"Here it comes!" A smile appeared on Li Jing's lips.

"Navy!" Seeing the appearance of this navy, Yang Lin on the other side almost fell off his horse. Seeing the appearance of this navy, Yang Lin's heart instantly fell to the bottom.

"Navy? How could there be navy near Chang'an!!" Yang Yong on the side asked in disbelief. He had never heard of navy passing through the Wei River.

"It should be the navy of Luoyang," Yang Lin said with a trembling voice. "In order to conquer Jiangnan, Yuwen Yong trained a lot of navy in Luoyang. The Weihe River is connected to the Luohe River. Because the Luohe River is shallow, it is difficult for the navy to build a water fort. Therefore, the Luoyang navy usually builds a water fort at the junction of the Weihe River and the Luohe River. If this navy really goes upstream, it will reach Chang'an immediately." "But for the navy to go upstream, how many boatmen will be needed to pull the boats, and how many oarsmen will be needed to row the boats? Without 10 days or half a month, how can the Luoyang navy reach Chang'an?"

"Yeah...how is it possible...could it be..." Yang Lin's pupils shrank, and he immediately asked his men to check the military account, which recorded various conditions in the military camp every day, including various climatic conditions, and naturally including wind direction, wind speed, etc.

"It's the southeast wind! The whole Chang'an has been blowing southeast winds for five consecutive days. Although the Luoyang navy is going upstream, they are sailing with the wind. No wonder all their sails are flying... It was the southeast wind that brought them here. As long as there are southeast winds for five consecutive days, it will be enough for them to swim over from Luoyang!"

"Five days, my father was still alive five days ago. Could it be that the Luoyang navy had already betrayed the Sui Dynasty and obeyed the rebellion?" Yang Yong was also dumbfounded.

"The commander of the Luoyang navy is Yang Su!" Yang Lin gritted his teeth and said, "Yang Su's family is Yuwen Hu's confidant. After Yuwen Yong came to power, he should have liquidated Yang Su. But Yuwen Yong treated Yang Su very well. In just 10 years, he promoted him from a minor official to the admiral of the navy and made him a duke."

"Yuwen Yong once told Yang Su that in the future, the only way to defeat the Southern Chen Dynasty would be to rely on the navy. So he asked Yang Su to train the navy in Luoyang, and when the time was right, he would let Yang Su be the general in charge of the entire war against the Chen Dynasty, making him a famous general in history. Yang Su has been extremely loyal to Yuwen Yong since then, and he is Yuwen Yong's die-hard fan!"

"Yuwen Chan must have contacted Yang Su in advance and ordered the navy to enter the Wei River to respond to this war before he launched the attack!" Yang Lin's nails almost broke his palms.

"If that's the case, why didn't my father kill Yang Su after he succeeded to the throne? Why did he let him continue to be the commander of the navy?" Yang Yong asked in confusion.

"After Yuwen Yong died, his beloved son was extremely dissatisfied with Yang Su and wanted to kill him several times, so Yang Su gradually turned to my eldest brother. Later, when Yuchi Jiong rebelled, Yang Su led the troops and was the first to respond. If Yang Su had not acted quickly, Yuchi Jiong would not have been so easy to suppress, so my eldest brother trusted Yang Su very much."

"Besides, Yang Su is in charge of the navy. Even if the navy rebels, it will not have any impact on the overall situation in Chang'an. Instead, it will cause the loss of supplies on the road. Therefore, anyone in the world may rebel, but the navy is unlikely to rebel. So, big brother let Yang Su continue to lead the navy."

"Then Uncle Emperor, what should we do?" Yang Yong asked.

"Withdraw from the river bank first." Yang Lin took a deep breath and said helplessly, "Yang Su's navy warships are equipped with a large number of crossbows, and his warships are tall. The crossbows can harvest the lives of our soldiers at will. We can't fight on the Wei River. We have to stay away from the river!"

Things turned out just as Yang Lin said. As the navy warships approached, a large number of crossbow arrows like honeycombs fell from the sky and landed accurately on the soldiers of the Yingyang Army. All the Yingyang Army soldiers who were hit would be shot through by the huge crossbow arrows in an instant, and there was no possibility of survival.

So before Yang Lin's order was passed on, the morale of the entire Yingyang Army had collapsed. They gave up chasing the enemy and turned around and ran away like dogs that had lost their homes.

They will never look back until they are out of the range of the crossbow.

The morale of the Imperial Guards and the City Defense Army was naturally boosted. Led by a dozen fierce generals, these soldiers actually caught up with them. Yang Lin was rather pleased to see this scene.

Since these coalition soldiers have already fought their way out, they have lost the protection of the warships. They are thinking that they can sacrifice some soldiers to delay the enemy, and the remaining soldiers can regroup in the rear and then fight back again. The outcome is still uncertain...

Then, Yang Lin heard a burst of crazy shouting and killing, and at the same time, thick smoke was rolling in from a distance. Along with the thick smoke were bursts of crisp, powerful, uniform, and huge horse hoof sounds like thunder.

Yang Lin had rich battlefield experience and he immediately determined that the sound was from the hooves of about 3000 cavalrymen.

The number didn't seem large, but they were coming from behind their own homes.

The Eagle Army is about to be hurt!
