The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 171 Plan implementation, sever contact

Following the county magistrate of Xinye, he forcibly dispatched servants to guard the aristocratic families in the city.

For a time, the defensive force in the city also reached thousands.

Although this improvised mess of soldiers, the combat effectiveness is very low.

But under Zhang Xun's publicity, these soldiers broke out with unprecedented combat effectiveness.

Therefore, although Xiao Yue led the army to attack the city every day, it was bound to end in failure!

The siege failed for several days, and the morale of the rebels was declining day by day.

According to this situation, Xiao Yue, as the chief general, had no choice but to order the whole army to retreat [-] li and set up camp temporarily.

For a while, the rebel army formally confronted the county soldiers led by Zhang Xun in Xinye City.

…………

On the other side, a light armored cavalry was galloping forward.

Looking straight ahead, I saw this cavalry soldier heading straight into Anlu County.

By carefully observing the map, one can know what the purpose of this cavalry raid on Anlu is.

Anlu not only straddles the two counties of Yiyang and Nanyang, it is equivalent to the main logistics supply line when the main force of the enemy's rebel army has not yet crossed the river.

You must know that Yiyang has already been swept away by the Yanmen cavalry led by Gao Qi.

At this time, the supply line of the Xiao Yue Army, which was heading north, could only be dispatched by the main general Gong Yuan in the rear.

But now that Xue Rengui led the army to guard against the Xiangjiang River, the main force of the rebel army has not yet found a plan to successfully attack.

Therefore, the logistics of Xiao Yue's army had to be transported from the Anlu line to Nanyang by detour.

Therefore, Anlu County can be said to be the lifeline of supply for the rebels today.

As long as the raid here is successful, the connection between the two armies of the rebel army can be completely cut off, thus blocking Xiao Yue's army in Nanyang.

And the iron cavalry in this surprise attack is also the iron army with a great reputation, called the 'Yanmen Army'.

And the supreme commander is, of course, Hussar General Gao Qier.

Ever since Jia Xu offered advice to Gao Qi that day, Gao Qi took the opportunity to become more visionary.

He is not limited to what is in front of him, but is calculating a big layout.

The raid on Anlu County was the first step for Jia Xu to wipe out the [-] rebels in Jingxiang.

It can be seen from this that as long as this move is successfully implemented, Jia Xu will definitely become famous and be known by the world.

A person's title, a horse's hoof!
The Yanmen iron cavalry opened their horseshoes and galloped hard on the Jingxiang Plain.

In an instant, the speed increased significantly!
However, within two days, Gao Qi quietly led [-] cavalry into the edge of Anlu County.

Immediately afterwards, Gao Qi spread out sentry cavalry and went to the counties in the county to inquire.

A few days later, the sentry cavalry came back one after another, reporting to Gao Qi: "General, we have already found out."

"Now the rebels' defense in Anlu is quite weak."

"However, a camp was built on the outskirts of the county city, but there were only more than [-] soldiers stationed there."

Immediately after receiving this accurate information, all the Yanmen generals secretly said, "The time has come"!
Their hearts were trembling. This was a desire for war, and it was an urge to make contributions.

After thinking for a moment, Gao Qi found that all the generals had a look of wanting to try.

Taking a deep breath, Gao Qi ordered the whole army to rush to the rebel camp outside the city.

Galloping at full speed, the whole army arrived outside the rebel barracks in just a few hours, and they were only twenty or thirty miles away.

For the distance of twenty or thirty miles, for the cavalry, as long as they charge up, it is no more than a cup of tea.

Standing on a high place, he looked down at the rebel camp below.

I saw that the rebel camp appeared to be a mess, empty and defenseless.

The rebel soldiers gathered together to brag, or to take a nap with their weapons.

Seeing such a scene, Gao Qi asked Jia Xu who was beside him: "Wenhe, the rebels' defense is so lax."

"Could this be a cover-up by the rebels?"

Hearing this, Jia Xu smirked and said affirmatively, "No!"

"Because our army's raid on this place can be said to be a temporary plan, and the whereabouts along the way have been well hidden."

"It's impossible for the rebels to find out and plan ahead, and the rebel defenses are so lax today."

"It can only explain one problem, that is, the rebel army has not noticed our army's whereabouts at all, and the enemy army does not attach importance to this place at all."

In an instant, Jia Xu completely dispelled Gao Qi's doubts with a single word.

Immediately, Gao Qi knew that the opportunity must not be missed, he raised the fire phoenix spear in his hand, and shouted: "Zhang Shigui, the first battle is up to you, you must break through the gate of the rebel camp."

"Once the gate of the village breaks through, Zhang Liao, you will lead the Bingzhou wolf cavalry to go around sideways, disrupt the formation of the rebel army, and strive to become horns with the falcon cavalry battalion."

"Afterwards, Zilong led the Flying Eagle Battalion under his command to use its mobility to go around and outflank, making sure that no one was caught."

"promise!"

Hearing the order, all the generals agreed for a while.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Shigui led the [-] Falcon Riding Battalion under his command to take the lead.

The bang of the war horse stepping on the ground was like the sky falling and the earth cracking, which was daunting.

"Tap Tap!"

Of course, the endless noises could not be concealed from the rebel soldiers in the rebel camp.

However, although the rebel soldiers all heard the sensational sound.

But they didn't know at all that this was the sound of large-scale cavalry.

Probably because, the soldiers of the rebel army all belong to the southerners.

There is a lack of war horses in the south of the Yangtze River, so it is impossible to organize a huge cavalry army.

Therefore, this also gave Zhang Shigui a chance for the Falcon Riding Camp.

It is only said that Zhang Shigui led the iron cavalry and galloped unimpeded all the way, when the rebel camp was only tens of steps away.

At this time, the rebels discovered that it was actually a large-scale Sui army cavalry.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

All of a sudden, the rebel soldiers were running around in a panic, shouting the words 'enemy attack' everywhere.

In front of such a scene, before the Yanmen army's iron cavalry broke through the gate of the village, the rebel soldiers became chaotic by themselves.

No one can organize effective resistance at all.

"boom!"

In the blink of an eye, the Falcon Riding Battalion under the command of Zhang Shigui crashed into the gate of the village.

Suddenly, under the impact of Falcon Riding Battalion, the gate of the village fell to the ground like a thin piece of paper, and sawdust flew across.

For a moment, there were screams in the village and the smell of blood intertwined in the air.

Just to say, how can the Falcon Riding Battalion, which has broken through the gate of the village and entered the camp, be compared to the chaotic rebels today?
Therefore, where the Falcon Riding Battalion Peak passed, layers of rebels were slaughtered on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Liao also saw the opportunity on time and Bingzhou wolf cavalry suddenly joined the battlefield, cutting the rebel formation into two sections.

In the blink of an eye, the rebels became even more chaotic and fled in all directions.

In this way, Zhao Yun led the Flying Eagle Battalion to use mobility to penetrate behind the rebels and outflank the rebels.

In the end, seeing that the overall situation of the battle had been decided, Gao Qi even led the cavalry and joined the battlefield in person.

It is only said that under the attack of [-] cavalry, the panicked rebels were finally frightened, and they knelt down and begged for surrender.

The battle lasted only half an hour, and it was announced that the Yanmen Army would end in complete victory.

At this point, the [-] Xiaoliang rebels who went north were officially cut off from the supply line and cut off contact with the main force.
