    The sound of the horn came from far away, low and heavy, making people's hearts tremble.  šI The Turkic cavalry climbed onto their heavily fattened mounts one after another, cursing loudly in Turkic language and taunting each other, many of whom were obviously drunk.  Yang Xuangan led these Turkic soldiers to set off. The morning glow in the east was red, and the grass was still full of crystal dewdrops that had not yet dried.  In the early morning light, two famous generals of the Great Sui Dynasty faced off for the first time.  Yang Su did not huddle in Lingzhou City, nor did he retreat to Fengzhou. As before, Yang Su never retreated, his fighting spirit was high, and he did not at all defeat Shi Wansui's 50,000 army, which was almost twice as big as his own.  In the morning light, Yang Su formed an array in the city. His army was like a slowly blooming caltrop flower, and its sparkling spikes were so dazzling.  Yang Su's central army was commanded by General Zhou Luohou. This former Nanchen general who led the charge with heavy cavalry during the battle with Datou had made numerous military exploits since his surrender to Zhou.  At this time, he put up his general's flag on the road. This time, the archers in his general formed two square formations and placed them in front to separate the east and west of the road.  When the war comes, these archers are still very calm. After experiencing the baptism of wars, they have become calm and experienced, not panicking, calmly adjusting their bowstrings, and the white-feathered arrows in the quivers at their waists follow their movements.  swaying with movement.  More spearmen formed a huge square formation, occupying the middle road vacated by the archers, and behind them were rows of sword, shield and crossbowmen.  Behind them, the three hundred heavy cavalry men and horses who survived the last battle were all still unarmored. They were surrounded by the general's flag, and behind them were their horses who were also recharging their strength.  Their armor was piled on a chariot beside them.  On the right wing of the central army is a cavalry of about five thousand people.  This is also an elite army.  Most of the cavalry in Yang Su's army are gathered here, like a sharp sword.  This elite.  Led by the cavalry general and march general Yu Juluo, Yu Juluo has two very distinctive characteristics. One is that his voice is extremely loud. When he opens his mouth, it is like thunder, and his voice can be heard miles away.  The other one is that Yuguluo has strange eyes, which is quite rare.  Although he has a weird appearance and a loud voice, Yu Juluo is very brave in fighting. He has been guarding the border for many years, and he has fought so hard that no barbarians dare to come to his territory.  As the commander-in-chief of the entire army, Yang Su.  He was sitting on a hill about two miles behind, surrounded by reserves under his command, half of them infantry and half cavalry, numbering as many as 10,000.  Yang Su fought fiercely, but he did not like to be on the front line. Instead, he liked to command the reserve troops. He was a little behind the battlefield where he could have a panoramic view of the battle situation and control the battle situation at any time. He always had little control over the battle situation.  Someone and.  Every time, valuable reserve forces can be put into the battlefield at the most suitable time, and put into the most suitable and needed places.  Use a small number of soldiers and horses to move the entire battle situation.  Yang Su has always been extravagant, even if he is leading the army to fight at this time.  He still hasn't changed his style.  Even if you look from a distance, you can spot Yang Su at a glance.  The armor on his body is too dazzling, a real golden armor.  The yellow golden cape, the tall gold spike on the helmet, the scarlet helmet, coupled with his five-foot-tall Persian horse, there is no more conspicuous and stylish outfit than his.  .  Just this set of armor is worth thousands of dollars.  Not counting the sword Yang Su wears, the precious horse-stem he holds and the famous horse he rides on.  At this time, Yang Su asked people to beat the rumble of war drums.  Shi Wansui's army is slowly coming, and the dazzling Yang Su gallops to the front of the battle.  Yang Su glanced at the former soldiers, and then said to his eldest son Yang Xuangan, who commanded the five thousand Turkic troops on the left wing, "Watch carefully and learn more." After speaking, Yang Su shouted loudly, "Bring those who violate military law forward."  With a shout, Yang Su's personal bodyguards immediately brought in hundreds of soldiers who were in dire straits.  These people are all violators of military discipline.  "Read out their crimes." Yang Su looked solemn.  The military judge came forward and began to read out the crimes of all the convicted persons one by one on the spot.  There were those who violated military orders and left the camp without permission, those who fought and gambled in the camp, those who robbed people and merchants, those who raped women, and so on. All of them violated military discipline.  Yang Su stepped forward and asked, "Is there anyone who refuses to admit the crime charge just read out?" No one said anything. Most of them were caught on the spot by law enforcement officers and could not deny it at all.  "Very good. It seems that you have all admitted it. Very good. At least you know how to dare to do it. In this case, I will give you another chance today, a chance to atone for your sins. Now, pick up your weapons and go  If you can cut off a head and come back from the battle, you will be exempted from the crime. If you can take two heads, you will not only be exempted from the crime, but also rewarded with 10,000 yuan! If you have the ability to bring back three heads, you will not only be exempted from the crime but also rewarded with 20,000 yuan!  The more you can kill, the more you kill.The more reward you get.  " The knives and shields have been thrown in front of them. Those soldiers who have been sentenced to death and should be executed for violating military laws fell silent one by one, then lowered their heads and picked up the knives and shields. " Beat the drums and cheer them on!  "Yang Su shouted. The sound of war drums sounded, and more than ten large cowhide drums swung at the same time, making a sound like thunder. "Ah!  ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡± The hundreds of soldiers who violated military law looked up to the sky and screamed, then started running towards the battlefield with their swords and shields, rushing towards the forward of Shi Wansui¡¯s army who had just arrived on the battlefield and had not yet begun to form a military formation.  Looking at the scene without hesitation, Yang Xuangan couldn't help but shake his head, thinking that if more than a hundred people charged into an army of 50,000, they would definitely die, "Father, why don't you give them a real chance in the midst of a war?"  " "This is the opportunity.  " " But this is to die.  " "If they die, I will ask the record office to register that they died fighting for the country, and the court will give their family members compensation and rewards.  If they could really kill the enemy and return, then their crimes would naturally be absolved.  "Yang Su replied calmly. More than a hundred people launched a desperate charge. They rushed and retreated quickly. After a while, most of them were dead. They didn't even have time to rush to the enemy's formation.  They were intercepted and killed by Shi Wansui's knights on the way. Of course, there were a few brave and lucky ones who finally killed the knights and escaped with their horses covered in blood.  He flapped his arms and dismounted, and fled back to the front of the formation. Behind them were the rangers of Shi Wansui's army, who were firing arrows from time to time. When they were about to arrive, one of them was unlucky enough to be hit in the back by an arrow.  , fell off the horse, and the rushed knight chopped off his head with a knife: "Hurry up, hurry up, rush, hurry up!  " "Hurry up!  " In Yang Su's army formation, the soldiers in the front row were desperately cheering for their comrades. If they ran a little closer, they would be within the range of their bows and arrows, and they would be able to take cover. Another sinner fell, and he was carrying it in his hand  He crawled forward with difficulty holding an enemy's head, and finally struggled to get up. After running two steps, the head fell to the ground. The man turned around and went back to pick it up. Yang Xuangan immediately watched from behind as the ranger was approaching.  , he couldn¡¯t help but said anxiously, ¡°Don¡¯t pick it up.  Come back, come back.  "The man ignored the shouts and still stubbornly went to pick up the head. He finally picked up the head, but an enemy ranger had already arrived. The spear was thrown forward fiercely, and the sharp spear  The man's vest penetrated and pinned him to the ground. Before he died, the man was still holding the head.  "Yang Xuangan felt extremely uncomfortable and even wanted to cry. "There is nothing wrong with his choice.  " "Is this correct?  "Yang Xuangan contradicted his father. "If he can't come back with the enemy's head.  Then he will be executed in the end when he comes back.  "Yang Su replied coldly. "But everyone saw it. He killed an enemy rider.  " " But he still didn't bring his head back.  If the task is not completed, the merits cannot be redeemed.  " "What kind of bullshit rule is this?  " "Xuangan, you have to remember that military orders are like mountains, and there are no jokes in the army.  Don't you think about it, why do I deal with those illegal soldiers in front of the battle in this way?  Think more about it.  "Yang Su finished speaking and ignored his son. Of the more than a hundred military law violators, only seven came back after going out. Three of them came back with an enemy's head, two came back with two heads, and  Two came back empty-handed. One did not kill the enemy at all, and the other lost the trophy when he was chased halfway. Yang Su stepped forward and patted the shoulders of the three sergeants who brought back a head.  He said: "You have used your bravery to redeem your guilt. Now you are innocent, go back to your team.  "The three of them excitedly knelt down and thanked them, and went back happily. The soldiers on the side cheered together. Then Yang Su walked up to the two soldiers who brought back the two heads, "Very good, you have proved yourself, and now you are not only exempted from guilt.  , and I will now reward each of you with ten guan of money. In addition, I will make an exception and promote you to team deputy. Go ahead.  " "Thank you, Marshal!  "The two replied excitedly. Yang Su finally walked up to the two people who returned empty-handed, shook his head, sneered at the two pale losers, and then took out his gold- and jade-encrusted gun.  With two fierce swings of the precious sword, the two heads fell to the ground. He executed the two men with his own hands. They did not bring back their heads, so they were punished as guilty.Fight!  "Yang Su shouted loudly, then sheathed his sword, got on his horse, and returned to his banner in the rear. The trumpet sound sounded again and the drums started to beat. "Shi Wansui's army is getting closer and closer, and both armies can clearly see it.  Seeing the opponent's front line, the war was about to break out. Yang Su's herald carried a red flag, galloped in front of the line, and shouted loudly: "The commander-in-chief has an order. Anyone who kills the enemy will be given ten thousand in cash."  A person who is killed in the squad will be given twenty thousand in money, a person who is killed in the school will be given a hundred thousand in money, and those who have a history of killing are given one million in money!  Three rounds of honors!  " Yang Xuangan returned to his formation and took a look at his troops, five thousand cavalry. No, they should be five thousand drunkards and gamblers on horseback. Five thousand defeated and surrendered, and were trapped in the grasslands of the nomadic tribes of Han.  Herdsmen. With such a group of people, can I hold the left wing?  , the two sides began to shoot at each other from a distance with bows and arrows, and the first wave of attacks began. This was a fierce and tragic battle. After several rounds of bow and arrow shooting, Yuguluo took the lead with his right wing as usual.  The five thousand fine cavalry launched a fierce attack. The five thousand fine cavalry galloped past like the wind. They made an arc on the battlefield and cut in front of the infantry formation on the left side of Shi Wansui's army. They made a beautiful turn and rode a beautiful horse.  Riding fire, countless arrows penetrated into the enemy's infantry formation. After the beautiful attack of five thousand cavalry, Shi Wansui's left-wing infantry formation was already in a bit of chaos. At this time, they were suddenly surprised to find that the light cavalry army was there.  Behind them, there was actually a group of cavalry following them. But they were not ordinary cavalry, but heavy cavalry with armored cavalry. They hid behind the infantry at first, and then waited for the right-wing light cavalry to attack before they began to equip themselves.  The armor then began to run, running straight through the empty path left by the cavalry attack. There were some cracks in the infantry formation. When the three hundred heavy cavalry rushed over, those who were still on the battlefield not long ago.  Shi Wansui's infantry, who had seen with their own eyes how fierce and fierce the heavy cavalry was, was panicked. Previously, the heavy cavalry was a friendly force, and it was a pleasure to watch them rampage. Now they became the target of the heavy cavalry, and everyone was frightened and panicked.  The small crack began to expand. When the heavy cavalry hit hard, the crack began to expand, and then became an irreparable gap. Before the enemy infantry's shield wall and spear formation had time to close, the crack began to expand.  After Yu Juluo's light cavalry regrouped, they came back again. This time, they did not just rush past and shoot a few rounds of arrows, but rushed in directly through the opening. Under the impact of the cavalry, Shi Wansui.  The infantry formation on the left wing of the army continued to collapse, so fast that even Shi Wansui behind him had no time to react. Yang Su had already issued a military order and led the reserve team directly towards the left wing that had begun to disintegrate. Shi Wansui's left wing collapsed and the army was defeated.  Continuously retreating, Yang Su led his troops in hot pursuit The horn sound sounded again, this time passionate and powerful. Yang Xuangan finally received the order and led his left-wing Turkic cavalry in full force toward the already collapsed enemy.  Shi Wansui's army launched a fierce attack. Yang Su's flag was flying on the battlefield. In the end, Shi Wansui did not personally lead the rear team to intercept and kill. Seeing that the situation was not good, he took the initiative to retreat in time.  About 10,000 soldiers and horses were dismounted on the left wing and center, and the warriors broke off their wrists and withdrew from the battlefield. "A beautiful victory!"  "When Yang Xuangan saw his father, he jumped off his horse and laughed and said to him. "Father's grasp of timing is really good.  " Yang Su's dazzling golden armor was stained with many blood stains and had solidified into black and purple, making the golden armor inevitably lose a bit of its shine. Yang Su sat astride the horse, looked at Shi Wansui's troops who had gone away, and shook his head  "Father, wasn't this a good battle? We fought with less but more than ten thousand of Shi Wansui's people were killed. It's lucky that he ran away, otherwise I would have captured him alive."  " Yang Su took the water handed over by the guard and drank a few big sips with no expression on his face. "I originally asked you to lead the troops on the left wing. I thought that when I led the troops out, Shi Wansui would follow me.  Hedge and attack your left flank with full force.  In this way, when the time comes, I will abandon Shi Wansui's defeated left wing and circle back to outflank Shi Wansui who rushes in. As a result, Shi Wansui did not take the bait at all and ran away directly.  This time they failed to capture him in one fell swoop. It would be difficult to have such an opportunity again. If he just retreated to Ganliang, it would be even more difficult to annihilate him immediately.  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
