Chapter 226 Fatal mistake

On the 22nd, the Battle of Poling.

Yang Xuangan launched a fierce attack, and Qu Tutong, who was facing the battle, formed a formation to defend the dead and refused to attack the rebels. As for Yuwen Shu, he led the central army to remain unmoved and had no intention of attacking. He came to the Guerres to lead the navy, so he naturally set up the formation behind him, and even placed himself in the position of the General Reserve Army.

Yuwen Shu put forward a delay, and the reasons were sufficient. Reinforcements came from thousands of miles away, with people and horses scarce. In addition, there was a serious shortage of food and grass weapons. At present, it is not the best time for a decisive battle. You have to wait, at least after the food and grass weapons are sufficient.

Wei Wensheng and Fan Zigai remained silent. After all, they belonged to the same camp as Yuwen Shu, and they could not express even if they had any objections.

Yang Gongren, Li Dan, Wei Jin, Dugu Wudu and others were anxious and immediately advised King Yang Tong of Yue to encourage him to take the "big flag" of the attack. The troops would follow closely and fight to the death.

Yang Tong had no choice but to promise. Last night, Jialan had convinced him that if he wanted to save the people and build countless merits, he had to sacrifice his life to fight. The army of Dongdu, Xijing and even Hanoi would obey his orders and be willing to live and die with him.

At noon, Yang Tong ordered the troops to enter the Poling battlefield immediately and launch an attack on the rebels from the flanks.

Wei Wensheng and Fan Zigai have already achieved a temporary tacit understanding with Yang Gongren, Li Dan and others through the "bridge" of Jialan. Although they knew that Yang Dong would stand up "bravely" and command the army to enter the Poling battlefield to fight, they did not inform Yuwen Shu and Lai Hu'er in advance. Instead, after Yang Dong made the decision, Yang Tong sent him directly.

Yuwen Shu and Lai Huer knew it well. Wei Wensheng was insignificant. After all, he was a newbie who "flyed" to the sky. He had no solid foundation, nor had a solid foundation, and even had too much experience in power struggle. He was simply the tool needed by the emperor to "centralize power". Fan Zigai was different. He was "to the top" step by step from local counties. His wisdom and deep scheming were conceivable, but in this storm, he was always suppressed by Yang Tong and never

Play a role. In other words, if Yang Tong is held accountable, Fan Zigai cannot escape. Therefore, at this critical moment, in order to make the most of the contribution and make a mistake, Wei Wensheng and Fan Zigai have to join forces with conservative forces led by Yang Gongren, Li Dan and others to attack Yang Xuangan. Even if they offended Yuwen Shu and Lai Huer, they would not care about it. In fact, the civil servant group and the military officer group in the reform faction were also in serious conflicts and constant conflicts.

With helplessness, Yuwen Shu had to lead his army to slowly advance to the front line of the battlefield.

Yang Tong sacrificed his life to attack at all costs, but he was afraid of fighting. Once Yang Tong was defeated, not only would the battle formation of Jiyan army be severely impacted, but the morale of Jiyan soldiers would also be severely damaged. At that time, the battle formation was shaken, morale was sluggish, and the morale of the army was in chaos. Wouldn't there be a danger of great defeat? If the war was defeated and Dongdu was lost, how could he explain to the emperor?

To put it bluntly, Yang Tong's move was to threaten Yuwen Shu with his own life. Will you beat him? If you don't beat him, just wait to be buried with me.

Yuwen Shu moved and came to Hu'er to follow him. The army of 70,000 to 80,000 came overwhelmingly, with a very amazing momentum.

Yang Xuangan was waiting for Yuwen Shu to come. After receiving the news, he immediately ordered to invest more troops to attack Qu Tutong. As long as Qu Tutong's battle formation was torn apart and defeat Qu Tutong's army, Yuwen Shu would definitely fight with all his strength, and this would lead to a decisive battle.

Yang Xuangan was confident of defeating Yuwen Shu. After all, Yuwen Shu and Lai Huer had been traveling long distances, traveling day and night, exhausted. Although his army was not waiting for work and had been fighting on the battlefield in Dongdu for more than a month, his army still had certain advantages, especially in their psychological state. Now they can only fight to the death, and they will be successful without success and have no way out.

At this moment, Yang Xuangan received another urgent report, and Yang Tong brought three remaining troops from the Dongdu, Xijing and Hanoi to attack from the flanks.

Yang Xuangan did not pay attention. He took it for granted that this was just Yuwen Shu's suspicious military strategy, the purpose was to restrain some of his own troops and try to distract himself. In fact, the Dongdu army is now very few, the Xijing army has basically lost its combat effectiveness, and the Hanoi army is just a group of vulnerable rural brave men. Those who know the inside story also know that these three armies are controlled by different aristocratic forces and have many contradictions. They may still play a role in fighting alone, but joint combat must be each fighting alone, and a disarray of sand poses no threat to Yang Xuangan at all.

Before the afternoon, Yang Xuangan personally fought and inspired the soldiers of various troops to fight bloody battles. For a moment, the war drums were like thunder, and the sound of killing shook the sky. The battle on the Poling battlefield quickly became white-hot.

Qu Tutong gritted his teeth and persevered, directed the soldiers to guard against the enemy's fierce attacks like a storm.

Yuwen Shu accelerated the advancement speed, the army was full of morale, and the atmosphere on the battlefield of Poling was becoming more and more suffocating.

On the flank of the battlefield, Yang Tong ordered an attack, but Wei Wensheng and Li Dan hesitated. Dugu Wudu and Liu Xu watched coldly. Fan Zigai looked up at the sky, as if he had not heard of it. Only Yang Gongren rushed forward, and the imperial guard led by Galan was the imperial guard led by the emperor.

The northwest elite cavalry is like a sharp roar, holding the power of wind and thunder, like the blade of thunder, and chopping into the enemy's battle formation with one knife.

Yang Xuangan believed that Yang Tong was just a bluff and unable to attack at all. His subordinates also had the same idea, but out of caution, the battle formation should be strictly defended to avoid being careless and losing Jingzhou at critical moments.

The person responsible for commanding on the flank was Yang Wanshi, Yang Xuangan's younger brother. When he saw the Golden Wolf Head, the Black Wolf Head and the Northwest Spirit Cavalry roaring, his anger erupted with a loud bang. Yang Xuanting died under the attack of the Northwest Spirit Cavalry, Li Zixiong died in the assassination of the Black Wolf Head, and Yang Xuanzong was even beheaded by the Golden Wolf Head. How could such a deep revenge be abducted? God had eyes and gave himself such an opportunity to avenge him. How could he miss it?

Yang Wanshi immediately ordered the formation to open the formation, put the Golden Wolf Head and the Northwest Spirit Cavalry into the formation, surrounded and killed them from all sides, and killed them all.

People in the northwest were rushing and lightning, like arrows leaving the strings shot into the enemy formation, and were instantly swallowed by the enemy.

Yang Wanshi learned from Yang Xuanzong's lesson of underestimating the enemy and did not dare to go forward and surround and kill him personally. Instead, he commanded the situation in the center and vowed to kill the people in the northwest.

At this moment, Yang Gongren, Cui Baode and Fei Yao rushed over. There were not many people, just ten regiments, but all of them were elite. Among them, three regiments of the imperial imperial guards always took on the task of guarding the palace city and had been replenishing their strength for a long time. The other regiments were the imperial guards and garrison soldiers who had persisted after a series of fierce battles, all of which were brave and good at fighting.

Yang Wanshi still underestimated the enemy. He focused all his attention on the Northwest Jingqi. His subordinates also knew the power of the Western Jingqi. In order to ensure that they were completely annihilated, they were all focused on it, fearing that one of them would be taken by the enemy by negligence. But in this way, Yang Wanshi and his subordinates ignored the "remnants of the Dongdu army" that came from the opposite side.

The result is conceivable that this "remnant army" of the Eastern Capital easily broke through the frontier battle formation of the rebels with an invincible momentum, and tore a hole in the rebels' flanks cleanly.

The fighter's chance comes suddenly.

When King Yang Tong of Yue saw Yang Gongren breaking through the enemy formation, he was very excited and cheered. Perhaps because of his excessive excitement or perhaps because of his mental loss of control, Yang Tong suddenly rushed out, whipping his horse and shouting at the top of his lungs, "Kill! Kill!"

King Yue took the lead and led by the way. A nine-year-old boy sacrificed his life and charged bravely, which could not help but impact the eyes of the soldiers and their hearts. Suddenly, the soldiers burst out, their blood rushing, and their passionate roars were even more shocking, "Kill! Kill!"

Fan Zigai, Fan Wenchao and his son had to move.

Of course, Wei Wensheng would not miss such a fighter. Without waiting for Li Dan to react, he had issued an attack order, and the Xijing army rushed towards the enemy formation like a tide.

Dugu Wudu and Liu Xu did not dare to hesitate anymore, and immediately led their troops to follow up. Although they were not strong enough and could not charge, they could still follow the main force and shout and take advantage of the situation.

Yang Wanshi was shocked and caught off guard. He adjusted his deployment in a panic. In order to ensure the solidity of the flanking battle formation, he had to "give up" the encirclement and kill the Northwest elite cavalry, and instead ordered the soldiers of the army to block the enemy and defend the battle formation at all costs.

Yang Tong rushed over with nearly 20,000 troops like a strait. Even if Yang Wanshi was well prepared and fought with all his strength, he might not be able to resist it, let alone his miscommand command and mis-scheduling, which led to a crack in the defensive battle formation. What's especially deadly is that at the moment of life and death, the sharp "sword" of the Northwest Jingqi actually rushed unscrupulously in his battle formation.

Yang Wanshi was frivolous and frivolous, and his troops were even more passive and too poor to deal with it. As a result, not only did he fail to block Yang Gongren at the first time and block the gap, but instead allowed Wei Wensheng to lead the elite troops of Xijing into the gap. Therefore, the entire defensive "dike" collapsed in a short period of time.

The victory or defeat was just a matter of momentum. Just as Yang Xuangan was about to invest all the main force to give Qu Tutong a fatal blow, and then rushed towards Yuwen Shu with thunder and started a life-and-death showdown with him, his flank was hit hard, as if a sharp blade was inserted into his waist and ribs by his opponent. The pain was unbearable and blood was flowing.

Yang Xuangan had to urgently adjust his deployment, turn from offense to defense, and do his best to save the situation. He could not lose or lose, otherwise it would be all over.

How could Yuwen Shu miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Even though he had no intention of fighting with Yang Xuangan, the enemy suddenly had a mess and gave him a good opportunity to attack. How could he not attack? Yuwen Shu did not hesitate and ordered that the troops he belonged to roared away like a rolling wave of waves amid the earth-shaking war drums.
