Chapter 21: The Underworld Master is defeated
In one stick of incense, the Yinshi Division army had entered the ambush circle.
Li Xiuning knew it was time to attack, and asked the messenger to inform Li Shentong, Li Xueyi and others to start siege.
"Three hundred steps!"
"Two hundred and fifty steps!"
"Two hundred steps!"
A flag soldier was beside Li Xiuning, reporting that the official army was away from his attack.
Then Li Xiuning issued an order to "attack" hundreds of catapults and arrows on the Detachment of Women's Army's positions, and the sound of fire came from the crossbow.
"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" "Swoosh!"
"Hu!" "Hu!" "Hu!" "Hu!" "Hu!"
Before the soldiers who were rushing to the road were able to react, the bows and arrows swung toward the middle of the official army like rain. The walking giant of the official army was immediately cut off, and the team was divided into sections. In an instant, the army had lost the dilemma of echoing each other.
Almost at the same time, only a rumbling sound was heard on the mountain beams above the road, and the huge rocks fired by the trencher fell down. Some fell directly on the official soldiers, and the soldiers' bodies were smashed into meat pie. Then the huge rocks rolled and rushed into the official army. The bodies of the official soldiers were hit by the huge rocks and flesh and blood. A huge rock could destroy more than a dozen soldiers. The soldiers of the official army were smashed by stones one after another. After a while, the battlefield was covered with corpses, broken arms and broken limbs, and blood red...
The officers and soldiers walking at the end of the team, after a little stunned, realized that the army had been ambushed, so they quickly turned around, hoping to occupy the small hills that had just passed. Who knew that before they could turn around, dense arrows shot from behind them.
On such a narrow road, in such a dense formation, the soldiers of the officials and soldiers were shot in arrows and fell forward one after another before turning around.
What is the biggest function of cavalry? It is to open the distance and have a strong impact force, so it can defeat the opponent in an instant. But now, in this narrow valley, let alone charge, it is impossible to run normally. The cavalry was smashed by huge flying stones falling from the mountain and screamed. The horses were also frightened and fled in all directions. In this narrow place, countless official soldiers were trampled to death.
Horses are not the killer weapon of cavalry, but a death-seeking ghost. Without a horse, you can find a place to hide. Now horses are running around and not trampled to death by horses. That is good luck.
When Yin Shishi Master heard the sound of scattering machines and bows, he hurriedly rolled off the war horse alertly and pulled out the sword on his body.
Many of the guards around him were not so lucky.
"Puchi!" "Puchi...".
A sharp arrow with cold light pierced the thighs, abdomen, and blood flowed all over the ground, and the guards' wails and screams kept coming.
"boom!"
A huge round rock fell into the guards' crowd and rolled unbridledly.
"ah……".
The huge rock rolled among the guards, and suddenly it was like a sudden disaster, causing more than a dozen guards to fall into pain.
"General, save... help." A guard who was rushing past his chest by a huge rock, asked for help in pain.
"Ah, ah..." Another guard was hit by a huge rock, and his intestines flowed all over the ground, shouting in pain on the ground, and he was about to die.
“…”
The Yinshi Master turned his face in pain and stopped watching the tragic situation of the guards who followed him through life and death.
Yin Shishishi hid behind the war horse and looked at the battlefield, and he immediately realized that he had been ambushed by the Detachment of Women.
I saw countless archers and crossbowmen in the opposite forest holding bows or crossbows, shooting at their soldiers from a high place. Then I looked at the huge rocks like hail in the forest behind me, being fired out by catapults hidden in the forest. The falling huge rocks fell into the crowd of soldiers, blood flowing into a river, corpses everywhere, and the screams of all kinds of wounded soldiers who were not dead broke the hearts of Yinshi Shishi's heart.
There were also shouts of killing from east to west. Yinshishishi knew that this was the Detachment of Women's Army, and the army surrounding his team was gathering together.
Yinshishi looked at his soldiers, who were already scared by the huge rocks falling on the mountain, and the horses were frightened and fled everywhere, and were still stepping on their soldiers' bodies. After the running horses, the howlings of soldiers came.
Looking at the chaotic battlefield, the entire battlefield has now been broken down into several sections, losing mutual echoes, and the soldiers are in chaos. Those who survived by chance are running around, like headless flies... The army has completely lost command.
The extremely frightened soldiers simply threw away their weapons and surrendered. The surrendered soldiers immediately gave up their attacks on them. After seeing this situation, the soldiers who had been scared all learned and threw away their weapons and joined the surrender team.
Master Yin Shi looked gray and looked up at the sky, silently chanting: "It's over, not only is his army over, but Chang'an over!"
Yinshi Master looked at the battlefield with a heart of death. He was powerless now and could only watch his soldiers being bombarded by arrows and catapults.
The Yinshi Master had forgotten his fear and walked out from behind the horse, intending to die here like these soldiers. This is also the last way for a general to return.
"Swoosh!"
"Puchi!"
An arrow passed through Yinshi Master's chest. Yinshi Master's body stiffened. He felt that his body's strength was rapidly losing. His eyes had gradually become blurred, and he finally fell to the ground weakly.
The Yinshi Master lying on the ground looked at the blue sky with his eyes blank, and the image of his wife and children flashed in his mind. Finally, he twitched a few times and stopped moving.
A generation of famous generals died in this unknown small mountain forest.
When Li Xiuning saw the chaos in the official army, she saw that the opponent's commander Yin Shishi had been killed, she immediately knew that she had won the war.
Li Xiuning pulled out his waist knife, pointed at the front and shouted loudly: "The whole army obeys the order and move forward!"
"Woo woo woo woo...".
A huge horn sound came from the front and rear positions of the Detachment of Women.
When the soldiers heard the sound of the horn and knew that it was a signal to attack, they all came out of the hidden place and lined up under the command of the sergeant.
The spearmen of the Detachment of Women took neat steps and rushed towards the official army from the position. The distance from the official army was not very far. When the Detachment of Women arrived on the battlefield, they were all stunned and found that there were not many people in the official army resisting.
The battlefield was full of corpses of the officers and soldiers, weapons and horses frightened and ran around. The captives automatically knelt on the ground. They were now scared and their bodies were trembling.
"Start clean the battlefield immediately and count the results." Li Xiuning saw that there were sporadic resistance, basically all the soldiers of the Detachment of Women standing on the battlefield.
The Women's Army were all happy, plundering corpses and money, identifying and escorting prisoners, and were very busy. The happiest thing was that the cavalry had grown so many more war horses, and the cavalry team of the Women's Army would grow again in the future.
It took not long for Li Shentong, Li Xueyi and others to join the soldiers, and the front and back government troops were blocked by Li Shentong and Li Xueyi, and then they drove them back. When the fleeing officials saw the situation on the battlefield, they stopped making unnecessary resistance, threw away their weapons and surrendered directly.
"Guanzhong! The overall situation is settled." Li Shentong came over and shouted excitedly.
"I didn't expect the Yinshi Division to be defeated like this. The 30,000 official troops he led were easily defeated by us?" Qiu Shili couldn't believe what he saw. What army was led by the Yinshi Division of the Great Sui Dynasty? It was the most powerful force among the Great Sui army, and it was the elite of the world. I didn't expect it to be easily defeated by the Detachment of Women.
"Haha! The main reason is that we chose first this time. The cavalry of the government army not only did not exert the power of the cavalry, but instead caused a scattered team to be in chaos by the frightened horses." Li Xueyi came over and laughed excitedly.
"Hahaha... It's better this place that kid Li Yu chose first!" Li Shentong was very satisfied with the results of this battle.
When the generals heard this, they nodded and admitted that the terrain selection this time was the basis for the army to win.
Two hours later, the battlefield was cleaned.
"The general eliminated more than 13,200 officers and soldiers in this battle, injured more than 5,400 people, captured more than 11,000 horses, and more than 16,000 horses. My wife's army suffered 2,300 casualties." The quarantine officer came to report.
"A great victory!"
All the generals were very excited to defeat the most elite army among the Great Sui army at such a small price.
"All the generals have made great contributions to this great victory. I will ask my father to ask for your contributions." Li Xiuning said excitedly.
After Li Xiuning finished speaking, he looked at the generals and said, "Leave 10,000 troops here to deal with the aftermath. The remaining troops will join with my second brother's 50,000 troops, and let's enter Chang'an together."
"Here!"
...
The left-behind home in Chang'an.
After reading the urgent report brought by the butler, Wei Wensheng knew that Yin Shishi Master had been defeated and he was already killed. He was shocked and did not say a word for a long time. The urgent report in his hand fell from his hand without knowing it.
Wei Wensheng's face was ashamed, and after a while he started crying, he kept crying: "Your Majesty, I am incompetent. I have let down the entrustedness of Your Majesty. I deserve to die the most."
"Master, you have to take care of yourself! It's not your fault that the Great Sui has come to this point today. You have already been worried about the Great Sui. Master, you have to take care of your health." The butler shook his head helplessly.
Wei Wensheng cried for a while and said weakly: "The situation is hopeless. Today, the heroes are in power. Dou Jiande is in Hebei, Wang Shichong is in Luoyang, Li Mi is in the Central Plains, Your Majesty is in Jiangdu, Xiao Xian is in Xiangyang and other places, Xu Yuanlang, Lin Shihong and other heroes also have tens of thousands of troops. Now the world is no longer owned by my Great Sui Dynasty."
"Ahem cough cough..."
Wei Wensheng coughed violently for a while and continued, "Now Li Yuan has occupied Guanzhong and has become one of the best major forces in the world. On the other hand, our Great Sui Dynasty is already sunset, and the Great Sui Dynasty is already the yellow flower of yesterday..."
...
History, like historical records, has not changed due to manpower.
In the 11th year of Daye (617), Li Xiuning and Li Er entered Chang'an without any effort with the help of the Pei family, Yuan family and Wei family.
Ten days later, Li Yuan rushed to Chang'an. Li Yuan announced that he would respect Emperor Yang of Sui as the Supreme Emperor, and supported his grandson, Yang You, as the emperor, and changed the reign of Emperor Gong of Sui. Emperor Gong of Gong promoted Li Yuan as the King of Tang and the Prime Minister, and ordered the Shangshu to be the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty; Li Shimin was the Duke of Qin of Jingzhao, and Li Xiuning was the county lord, and Li Yuanji was the Duke of Qi.
Since then, the Li family has completely controlled the situation in Guanzhong.
