Chapter 0012 Charge
At Huangtianyuan, the army was flying flags. Li Yu was riding a war horse, holding the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Sword in his hand. He was looking at the distance. Yang Xuangan was leading the army to station at Huangtianyuan. The opposite generals such as Yuwen Shu, Qu Tutong, Lai Huer and others came one after another. The two sides had nearly 200,000 troops facing each other within an arrow range. Yang Xuangan was holding a long spear. Li Zixiong was not with Li Yu, but stood with Yang Xuangan.
"Sir." Li Gu stood guard with a sledgehammer in his hand. There were 400 soldiers beside him, all wearing armor and holding spears. They were the private soldiers of the Li family. In order to protect Li Yu, Li Zixiong spent a lot of effort to equip all 400 soldiers with armor. What surprised Li Yu even more was that Yang Xuangan also equipped him with war horses. 400 war horses were not a small number. Li Yu certainly knew that Yang Xuangan would give him an important task.
"Be careful, stay with me." Li Yu slowly raised the Great Xia Dragon Bird. This precious sword was really suitable for him to use. He swung it with great pleasure. Even though there were hundreds of thousands of troops in front of him, Li Yu did not look worried at all. The only thing that worried him was that after the battle, he might be noticed by the enemy, which would be detrimental to his subsequent plans.
Behind him was Yang Jishan, Yang Xuangan's younger brother, who led an army of 30,000 elite soldiers. He didn't know whether they were there to monitor him or had other missions, which made him very uncomfortable.
Finally, the war drums sounded from both sides, and Yang Xuangan personally led the charge on a scarlet warhorse. The tens of thousands of troops behind him followed as quickly as possible, following Yang Xuangan and killing the enemy.
This is the role of a fierce general, who can personally lead the army to charge into battle and boost morale. Even if the number of enemies on the opposite side far exceeds that of the rebels, these soldiers have no fear and will still rush into the enemy's battle formation without hesitation.
Yuwen Shu had a head full of silver hair. Next to him was Wei Xuan, and then his son Yuwen Huaji and others. Other generals under Yang Guang, such as Lai Huer, Qu Tutong, and Yin Shishi, all stood in their own armies, waiting for Yuwen Shu's orders. It must be said that since the death of Yang Su, Yuwen Shu has been a powerful official in the court with a high prestige.
"What a great general." Yuwen Shu shook his head and said, "What a pity."
"Father, you are just a reckless man. It's really stupid to waste such a good opportunity." Yu Wenzhi couldn't help but refute. It can be said that Yang Xuangan had the right time, right place and right people on his side. If he had entered Guanzhong earlier, at least he wouldn't have been in such a situation, and he wouldn't have missed the gate of Tongguan.
"Archers, shoot arrows!" Yuwen Shu ignored his son and waved the command flag in his hand. As the flag was waved, a series of teeth-grinding sounds were heard behind him, and then a sharp whistle was heard. Countless bows and arrows whizzed out and fell towards Yang Xuangan's front army.
Hundreds of cavalrymen fell to the ground in an instant, but it did not affect other knights. Countless soldiers still rushed towards Yuwen Shu's central army. The leader, Yang Xuangan, held a long spear and waved it to block all the arrows in front of him. He stared at Yuwen Shu in front of him. As long as Yuwen Shu was killed, everything would be fine.
Just when they were about to get close, a group of cavalrymen came slowly. These cavalrymen were wearing armor and advanced slowly, blocking Yang Xuangan. Yang Xuangan held a long spear in his hand, let out a loud roar, and thrust the spear forward, which pierced the opponent's chest. With force of his arms, he actually lifted the opponent off the horse, and then threw him heavily to the ground, deader than dead.
The boss Yuwen Shu on the opposite side opened his mouth wide, and pointed his spear at the heavily armored cavalry. What a brave man he was. Although Yuwen Shu had heard that Yang Xuangan was as brave as a king, he was still shocked when it really happened before his eyes. Yuwen Huaji's face also changed. When a person is very brave, he has already played the role of defeating ten with one force, and no strategy can match the opponent.
"Surround them, kill Yang Xuangan and you will be made a marquis and rewarded with a thousand gold coins." Yuwen Shu suddenly shouted loudly.
In just a short moment, the long spear in Yang Xuangan's hand flashed repeatedly. A series of cold lights appeared in front of Yuwen Shu's eyes, and he saw two heavily armored cavalrymen fall to the ground again. The armor on their chests could not withstand the sharpness of the long spears. The cavalry behind them followed and moved forward a few steps again. Yuwen Shu's panicked expression could be seen with the naked eye.
Yuwen Shu was so frightened that he waved the flag in his hand repeatedly and began to ask Lai Huer and Qu Tutong on both wings to rush to resist. For a moment, the Sui army's line changed, and the originally neat line was slightly chaotic.
Li Zixiong, who was commanding the army in the rear, saw it clearly and said to the soldiers around him, "Quick, send a message to Li Yu, order him to lead the army to charge with 400 elite soldiers as the vanguard, and Yang Jishan's army will follow closely behind. Let him attack the enemy's right wing and defeat Qu Tutong." Since the enemy's right wing has already taken action, Li Zixiong will not give up such an opportunity.
The messenger did not dare to delay and quickly delivered the message to Li Yu. Li Yu's bravery came into play at this time. Li Zixiong needed to use his son's bravery to create a gap on the right wing, allowing Yang Jishan's tens of thousands of troops to charge and tear open a window for Yuwen Shu's army.
"Charge, my father really thinks highly of me." After receiving the news, Li Yu immediately turned into a bitter smile. Although the army on the opposite side had more than 100,000 people and was led by different people, Li Yu had no confidence whether he could break through a gap on the opposite side. No wonder Yang Xuangan treated him so well.
"Charge." Li Yu took a deep breath and glanced at Yang Jishan behind him. If he didn't charge, Yang Jishan's tens of thousands of troops would never spare him.
With a roar, the warhorse carried Li Yu and rushed out. Behind him, four hundred elite cavalrymen followed closely. Behind the four hundred elite cavalrymen came Yang Jishan, and Yang Jishan's army also followed closely behind, rushing directly towards the enemy's right wing.
Qu Tutong saw clearly that the enemy in the distance had already set out, and immediately said to Sang Xianhe beside him: "The enemy was able to detect the changes on the right wing in such a short time, it must be Li Zixiong. This person should not be underestimated. Sending people to attack us at this time, I am afraid it is also a brave general to be careful."
Sang Xianhe didn't care and said, "General, the enemy's defeat is already exposed. No matter how strong the enemy is, they can't break through our defense. Don't worry!" Sang Xianhe was certainly confident. He brought elite soldiers from Hedong, not ordinary soldiers. No matter how powerful the enemy is, he can win.
Although Qu Tutong wanted to persuade them, he took back his words when he saw Sang Xianhe's appearance. He also saw that the man charging in front was holding a big knife and had only a few hundred people around him.
