Chapter 256 The King of Liaodong!

Among Qin Shubao, Luo Shixin and Cheng Yaojin, Chen Kefu had already seen that Cheng Yaojin did not care much about the identity of Zhang Xutuo's subordinates.

Sure enough, as soon as Chen Kefu's words fell, Cheng Yaojin immediately became excited, forced himself to restrain his emotions, and said shyly, "The Marshal is so proud. My old Cheng is just a village soldier with hundreds of ignorant minions. When he came, he was so scared that he asked me to be a captain. Now the Marshal suddenly wanted to call me as the chief supervisor. How can I be the old Cheng be? I also asked the Marshal to take back his life. I don't have anything else, but I admire a hero like the Marshal the most. As long as the Marshal uses me, I will be a personal soldier of the Marshal and have no complaints."

Cheng Yaojin's words were so stingy that even Chen Kefu couldn't stand hearing such crazy flattery words. I really couldn't imagine that such flattery words were actually said from a vulgar and big guy like Cheng Yaojin.

"I am the one who is the one who is the same as the one who is the same age as the Chief Cheng. I used to be a Yuanwailang in Hebei, and you were a landlord in Shandong. I also didn't like studying as a child, so I love practicing martial arts. I heard that Chief Cheng used to be the same, and I have a good time playing guns and sticks all day long. What is particularly rare is the passion of Chief Cheng. When I heard that Liaodong was in danger, I immediately abandoned my family and brought my own servants to Liaodong for war. This made me admire it very much. At the beginning, I only brought nine people, and you brought two hundred people together. Such a loyal, righteous and brave man, let alone a mere general, is not impossible to be a marquis before His Majesty's Golden Palace in the future."

The two of them praised me and I brag about you, but it was like a friend who had been together for many years and fell into the same situation at first sight.

After pushing a few times, Cheng Yaojin happily accepted the new position of the general manager. He came to Liaodong to make achievements. Now that he has a boss who is so rewarded, what else can he hesitate about?

After crying sadly for a while, Luo Shixin stared at Chen Kefu and said, "Marantor Chen, don't you know if you are willing to avenge Zhang Shuai?"

"Of course, it is my duty to take revenge for Marshal Zhang!"

"Okay, as long as I defeat the Liao army, I ask to cut off the head of the Liao general Yizhi Wende with my own hands!" Luo Shixin's cold face was shining with hatred.

Chen Kefu did not hesitate at all, "No problem, Yizhi Wende killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Sui Dynasty. Even if you don't tell me, I will catch him and I will also get rid of him."

"Okay, I will be a member of your account in the future." After Luo Shixin said this coldly, he turned around and returned to the side, and continued to hold the broken Lei spear and cried. Chen Kefu was also stunned, not expecting that this cold-blooded murderous devil had such a loving and sensual side.

Seeing that both of his colleagues had agreed, Qin Shubao walked up and punched, "Now the officer of Marshal Chen from Liaodong is the largest, and the last general will naturally drive away. The only small request is to hope that the Marshal can get Zhang Shuai's body back from the Liao people as soon as possible."

Seeing that the three future generals were all included in the sect, Chen Kefu was in a good mood. He ordered that the three thousand Zhang Xutuo's old subordinates not be split, and another thousand veterans from the army were transferred, with a total of 4,000 people in a single group. The battalion was dubbed the Bafeng Camp, with Qin Shubao as the general manager, Luo Shixin as the deputy general manager, and Cheng Yaojin as Sima. In order to show his importance to the three generals, he also awarded the rank of brigade general to the three generals. The Bafeng Camp was classified into the central army and personally led the forehand.

With a good mood, Chen Kefu issued an offensive order to the entire army. Before that, although the Liao army tried to break through several times, under the blockade of the powerful crossbow troops of the Sui army, they

He could only leave hundreds of bodies and retreat.

Just today, the Modao Bing, heavy cavalry, and a large number of engineers and equipment have arrived in the army. With these equipment and strong soldiers, Chen Kefu finally ordered an attack. With the neat sound of war drums and horns, the Sui army set up a neat square formation to advance. The front was full of chariots transferred from Liaodong City. The front was full of sharpened deer antlers, and there were also large raw cowhides outside. On the first chariot, there was also a 300-step long fuyuan crossbow and two crossbowmen.

Behind the chariots were the shield-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held spear-held

Seeing the Sui army attack, the Liao people also lined up to welcome them. More than 90,000 Liao people have suffered so much these days, and the final Yibo has failed. Although they defeated the Sui army reinforcements, they are still in a place of death. After eating horse meat for two days, Yizhi Wende and others are ready to fight to the death.

A battle of nearly 200,000 people is definitely a battle that can be recorded in history. Although the Liaodong City Siege half a month ago, the two sides mobilized nearly one million people. However, more than half of them were slaves from both sides, and this time, it was a real and field battle of the army. There were no auxiliary soldiers in the Goguryeo coalition, and although some of the Sui army had, there were basically not many.

On the river beach dozens of miles east of Liaodong, and on the vast snow that had not melted, 180,000 people almost occupied the entire east coast, and it looked boundless at first glance. The two armies were still several miles apart, but sporadic battles had begun.

The light cavalry troops between the two sides were constantly running back and forth in the enemy formation. They were constantly inquiring about the enemy's troops and horse arrangements. While reconnaissing and blocking, there were tens of thousands of light cavalry roaring and whistling. One by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, and one by one, the other is constantly falling, kicking off the war.

In order to deal with the war, Chen Kefu arranged a total of thousands of commanders, and many commanders, which sometimes guaranteed that he could directly command units at the team level. In the central army, a towering tower car drove slowly forward under the pull of many scalpers. The tall tower car had a huge platform, which was several meters in radius. The tower car was eight meters high and was transformed from the tower car that attacked the city. During the war, it was specially used to climb high and look into the sky to command the overall situation.

In addition to Chen Kefu and other senior generals, there were dozens of flag-speaking soldiers on the chariot. Under Chen Kefu's orders, the flag soldiers kept waving the flags in their hands, and countless cavalrymen in front of the formation began to run in front of the formation that lasted more than ten miles.

The chief officers and lieutenants kept calling out their troops and issued orders. To carry out a large field battle of nearly 200,000 people on this wide riverbank plain, the consistency of the orders is a very important issue.

The commander of the entire army must be able to consider every step before ordering, because every order is passed on and then the army reacts. The time between this is often more than a quarter of an hour. Therefore, during a war, the orders must be simple and small, and cannot be mobilized frequently, otherwise the entire army will find it difficult to react. The key is to look at the generals at the first level of each battalion, because they are personally on the front line of the battle formation, and commanding in front of the formation is their duty.

The two armies stopped five miles apart.

Chen Kefu stood on the tall building car, with a serious expression on his body. This was his first field battle at the position, and it was a battle of 180,000 people. As the commander of the first army, he could not tolerate any horses. The biggest field battle he fought in the past was the Kingsoft Ambush. However, that time was an ambush, and most of the two sides were auxiliary soldiers. This time it was indeed a tough battle, with no tricks at all.

He didn't want to fight as badly as he did in the first battle to defend the city.

"I ordered Lu Shishen to lead the left front army to attack the enemy's right wing. General Manager Lu, you and Shen Guang are both top-ranked generals in my Liaodong camp. I ask you to seize the right wing of the Liao army and completely cut off the possibility of the Liao army breaking out from the left wing. This time, we will wipe out the Liao army."

What Chen Kefu most hoped was to trap the Liao army directly, but it was too difficult to do this on such an open river beach plain. Without the advantage of geographical advantages and the advantage of numbers, it was impossible to truly encircle the enemy. The longer the wait, the better the Liao army would break through after rest, and it would be more difficult for them to stop it. No matter how tight the defense was, there would be loopholes. So after waiting for a day, Chen Kefu mobilized another 30,000 troops and countless equipment arrived, he decided to take the initiative to attack the Liao people and use attack instead of defense. Using the excellent equipment in their hands, he achieved a complete battle.

"I'm sure, Marshal!" Lu Shishen stretched out his fist and hit the heart protection mirror on his chest hard. With this, he smiled at Shen Guang happily. During the war, being the first unit to fight was the supreme honor and the honor of the entire Left Foreign Army.

Several generals from the Left Foreign Army got off the stairs, stepped onto the war horses, and brought a team of cavalry back to the formation. The other generals looked at their figures and were a little envious.

"Zhang He!"

"The last one will be here!"

"I ordered you to lead the right rear army and launch a tentative attack on the enemy's left wing. I expected that if the Liao people wanted to break through, they would likely break through from this direction. So there must be the location of the 30,000 cavalry of the Liao people."

"Please rest assured by the Marshal, my right rear army will surely take down the left wing of the Liao people to the death."

Chen Kefu shook his head, "No need to do this, you just need to conduct a tentative attack. If the left wing of the Liao army is really the main force, then you can retreat, just hold on to our right wing." The two armies of the Left Back Army and the Right Back Army are the two weakest in the entire Seventh Army, and both of them have had records of defeat on the battlefield. So Chen Kefu did not have much expectations for him, but just hoped to use him to test the enemy's strength configuration. If the strength of the Liao army is on the left wing, he will have other arrangements at that time.

Seeing Zhang He's face looked a little ugly, he guessed that he might have remembered what happened before, and hurriedly comforted him, "In the battle formation of hundreds of thousands of people, the fighter planes change instantly. You are the commander in front of the formation and should have the right to adapt to the situation. If I ask you too much, then the situation will change and I will not have time to convey the order to you. You just need to remember, don't underestimate the enemy too much, just fight steadily."

"Everyone, today's battle is of great importance. I cannot do everything myself for more than ten miles of battle formation. I only have the overall strategy of the system, and all the responses to the battlefield are up to you. If the fighter's opportunity changes, as long as it is beneficial to the overall situation, I will grant you the right to change my plan."

Dozens of senior generals bent down and saluted with their right hands, "Please rest assured, Marshal, we must work together and fight hard, and never let down the Marshal's high expectations."

Zhang He looked serious and said solemnly, "The last general must explore the enemy's weaknesses and reality for the army. If possible, he will definitely take down the right wing of the Liao army."

"Okay, I am here to report the good news to you, Generals!"

The battle began with Chen Kefu's passionate voice.

"Brothers, the marshal is watching us on the chariot of the central army, waiting for the good news we gave us." Zhang He held a horizontal knife and rode on the war horse, galloping between the regiments of the right rear army. The horizontal knife flew over the warriors' shields, making clanging sounds, and under the sunlight, it seemed extraordinarily murderous. "We have failed on the battlefield. Although we trained hard and trained again later, there was no chance to wash away the shame of our day. Just today, the general put high hopes on us, and it was time to prove to everyone that our right rear army was. We must let people know that the right rear army holding the white tiger battle flag is a tiger-like army!"

The war drums were beating, the horns were ringing, and Zhang He pointed forward with a long sword in his hand.

"Right rear army, attack!"

The White Tiger Battle Flag moved, and more than 10,000 people from the Right Back Army began to attack, countless spears were like clouds, and swords were like snow. There were waves of neat steps sounded on the plain, and nearly 20,000 people from the Right Back Army began to attack.

Knowing shame only makes one brave. The attack of the right rear army is slow but not strong. The big sword has no edge, and the big tricks are not craftsmanship. There is no fancy at all. All the third-level officers at the bottom have been trained by rotation, and all the soldiers have undergone strict and planned training, and at this time they fully demonstrated their achievements.

The officers at all levels were commanding with a sharp eye, and the soldiers cooperated with great tacit understanding, jumping, surprise soldiers, and crossbowmen. The infantry and cavalry were mixed with coordinated combat, and the infantry, cavalry, and workers were mixed with coordinated combat. The waves of attacks were like a tide, which was a perfect exercise for the cooperation of various troops. High morale, strong armor, sharp weapons, advanced equipment, outstanding officers, and elite soldiers. All of this was combined together to form a right rear army with an extremely sharp edge.

The right rear army was attacking, while the left front army was also attacking. The left front army, with better soldiers, did not disappoint Chen Kefu's expectations. Under the cover of the chariot, the cooperation of the catapult cart, the crossbow bed, and the support of the crossbow troops, under the assault of a heavy infantry regiment and a heavy cavalry regiment, they took neat steps to continuously press the right wing of the Liao people towards the Central Army.

Seeing that both the left and right wings had made contributions, Chen Kefu was overjoyed and ordered the flag to shake. The central army continued to slowly press forward.

The distance of five miles is not far. Although the central army seemed to move slowly, it was not long before it was less than a thousand steps away from the enemy.

"Heavy Infantry Battalion, Heavy Cavalry Battalion is ready for combat and prepare armor!" Another order was passed, and the commander quickly rushed to pass the order.

The soldiers and horses on the left and right wings of the Liao army were all infantry. After being continuously broken through, the real elite soldiers of the Goguryeo finally appeared. More than 30,000 cavalry and more than 10,000 elite infantry were all in the central army.

The ground under his feet began to shake constantly, and bursts of thunderous sounds kept coming. Countless war horses stepped on countless snowflakes and soil, and suddenly rushed out of the central army. For today's war, no one was still lucky in his heart, from Yizhi Wende to the commander of the coalition forces. They had decided early in the morning that today's battle was the time for them to break through, and all the left and right wings, and even the infantry of the front army of the central army had been abandoned by them.

In the past two days, they have collected all the bodies of war horses that they can get, and each cavalry has assigned a lot of horse meat. Just wait for the battle, the left and right wings will drag two Sui troops and horses, and they will lead 30,000 cavalry to break through.

But what they didn't expect was that the Sui army's offensive would be so sharp that they were about to completely defeat the wings before the melee began. In desperation, before the melee began, Yizhi Wende and others had to lead the cavalry to break through in advance.

The cavalry of the Marine, Shiwei, Goguryeo cavalry, and the cavalry of the three tribes began to charge, and even Baekje was ruthlessly abandoned. More than 30,000 cavalry roared with scimitars, and the knights bowed their bodies and leaned against the horse's neck.

The sudden attack of the Liao people was beyond the expectations of the Sui army. It was rare for two large armies to fight, and the cavalry actually launched such a frontal charge.

The battalion chiefs of the front army of the Central Army made a quick change, "Boundlers shoot!" roared loudly.

The crossbowmen team with the farthest range began to shoot, and the sky suddenly darkened, and a rain of arrows fell from the sky. The Sui army had a large number of crossbowmen configurations, and when faced with the cavalry's charge, they directly shot together.

The engineers in the back formation had also exerted their efforts, and catapults and crossbow beds were fired one after another, and even catapults began to throw them towards the gunpowder bag.

The Sui army's arrow rain seemed endless, completely closing the sky, and one knight after another fell to the ground. The Liao army's cavalry launched a frantically, one after another, and they had no way out and had no food or help. Only by charging can there be a glimmer of hope.

In front of the rows of chariots and horses, even the cavalry that rushed out of the rain of arrows could only fall unwillingly in front of the Sui army. The elite cavalry of the three tribes, across the grassland, was no longer the defense line of the Sui army.

The heavy infantry had already been equipped with armor, and they stood in line behind the chariots. The cavalry who finally rushed here could not escape the fate of being cut off with one knife. The heavy cavalry was ready, but Chen Kefu did not order them to fight at all.

Countless logistics auxiliary soldiers brought bundles of arrows from behind the formation, and the Sui army soldiers ruthlessly drew arrows, and then drew arrows.

.........

From afternoon to dusk, and then to night, Suijian slowly moved forward, like a huge turtle formation, but could send a fatal blow. Until dawn, the Liaohe River was already near, and the ice floating in the river did not rise and fall. However, there was no one standing in front of the Sui army, with corpses covered with broken guns and broken flags everywhere.

At the last moment, Goguryeo commanded Yizhi Wende, Rongliu King Gao Jianwu, the Mohe commanded Huang Ge, the Shiwei commanded Tiedan, and the Baekje commanded Fuyuzhang and other generals gathered more than a thousand cavalry and retreated to the edge of the Liao River.

They sent a team of envoys to negotiate with the Sui army with a white flag, hoping to let them go. Chen Kefu smiled and ordered the envoys to be shot to death directly. Although the other party included several forces, since they dared to attack him, Chen Kefu dared to kill them. He blindly showed weakness, and all he got was contempt.

Respect depends on the swords and weapons in his hands, and justice is only within the range of the bow and arrow. As long as he has the strength, not to mention these troops that offend him, even if the leader of their tribe and the king is killed by him, they will not say a word.

The desperate Gao Jianwu was cruel and swearing to be a prisoner of the Sui army to death. They knew in their hearts that being a prisoner of the Sui army at this time was undoubtedly a word of death.

Behind him is the rolling Liao River, and the icy Liao River is a dead end. If you fall into it, you will definitely die. The Sui army's arrow rain in front is still shooting, and the Sui army array, like monsters, rushed straight with the momentum of crushing everything.

There were only two choices in front of everyone, either to be killed in battle or to be killed by prisoners. At the last moment, Huang Ge of the Marine tribe, Fuyuzhang of Baiji, and Wei Tiean of Shima chose to surrender. Gao Jianwu, who had already seen through Chen Kefu, turned around and rode into the Liaohe River without saying a word. Yizhi Wende hesitated for a while, his hands were stained with too much blood from the Sui army. If he fell into the hands of the Sui army, he would never know what kind of punishment he would accept. He thought of Zhang Xutuo, the man who committed suicide. Thinking of him, Yizhi Wende did not hesitate and turned around and rode into the Liaohe River.

Some of the remaining more than a thousand people jumped into the river, while others chose to surrender to the Sui army. However, as Gao Jianwu knew, facing the surrender of such people, Chen Kefu directly ordered thousands of arrows to be fired at once, turning them into hedgehogs, and finally the bodies were thrown into the Liao River.

Ninety thousand coalition forces were wiped out. Chen Kefu did not want to capture prisoners, he wanted to completely destroy Goguryeo. When the coalition forces attacked Liaodong City and killed 40,000 prisoners, 30,000 soldiers, and 50,000 civilians, he already vowed that the blood debt must be paid for blood. Goguryeo was the most famous rebellious person, and no one knew what the result would be like in the end.

If the King of Goguryeo submitted a letter to surrender at this time, Chen Kefu could not guarantee that Yang Guang would accept it again as in history. He was unwilling to let the blood of the soldiers go in vain, and there was another important reason. Yang Guang was already suspicious of him, and now Zhang Xutuo is dead again.

Now that Liaodong has been pacified, it is very likely that birds will hide their bows, and rabbits will die and dogs will cook them. Since you have chosen the path of restoring the country, you can no longer be so passive. When it is time to take action, you must take action. You will never achieve great things in fear.

After this battle, he had already planned to turn from the Great Sui general who carefully concealed his ambitions in the past to become a general who obeyed the command and did not listen to Xuan Gong's army and respected himself.

The Liaodong tribes have been disabled after this battle. The rear of his rear is already stable, and he no longer has to worry about being attacked from both sides. With a stable rear, it is time to jump to the front desk.

Yang Guang's struggles will not last for a few years. Liaodong is already his Liaodong, and it is already winter. He has time to rest and prepare for the whole winter. By next year, the world will surely be in another situation!
