Chapter 64 Yuchi commits suicide

Wei Xiaokuan was naturally not as Yang Yong thought. He was still childlike in his seventies or eighties and treated ants as pets. This black ant involved a secret in Wei Xiaokuan's heart. Thirty-four years ago when Wei Xiaokuan defended Yubi, there were only 20,000 defenders in the city at that time. Gao Huan, who had not yet claimed to be king, personally led an army of 180,000 to besiege Yubi. There was a bloody battle between the east and west Wei in Yubi.

On the eve of the Yubi Battle, an unprecedented ants battle occurred outside Yecheng, the capital of the Eastern Wei capital. On the ground ten feet a radius, two groups of ants were covered with black and yellow, and the two sides continued to fight for more than ten days. At that time, the Eastern Wei soldiers had gathered at Yubi. The Eastern Wei soldiers were wearing yellow clothes and the Western Wei soldiers were wearing black clothes, both in a state of war.

Since the ants were duels between the yellow and black sides, the people of Yecheng used ants to fight to distinguish the victory and defeat of the East and West Wei army. As a result, the yellow ants were defeated and died. Later, the Eastern Wei soldiers in yellow clothes returned to their deaths, which was consistent with the fighting ants. Wei Xiaokuan was almost dead and died. When he learned about the fighting ants outside Yecheng, Wei Xiaokuan believed that the black ants had some mysterious connection with him and often fed the black ants with dried meat. Now Yuchi Jiong's troops also happened to be wearing yellow clothes, so Wei Xiaokuan naturally regarded Yuchi Jiong as a yellow ants. His black ants would definitely win.

Early the next morning, Yuchi Jiong placed his troops to the south of the city. Although the official army had an army of 300,000, but about 150,000 were divided into each city gate. Yuchi Jiong also left 50,000 people to defend the city and brought only 130,000 troops out of the city. The troops of the two sides were not much different. Hundreds of thousands of troops were held together. From the top of the city, they looked like two teams of ants, one black and one yellow.

Dozens of generals around Wei Xiaokuan were all good at fighting. Apart from Yuchi Yun, Yuchi Shun, Yuchi Dun and other sons and nephews, the rest of the generals had been lost. Even his sons and nephews had lost most of them. Although the troops on both sides were equal, half of the Yuchi family was disabled to deal with nearly half of the powerful generals of the Zhou family.

Wei Xiaokuan urged him to step forward, looking at Yuchi Jiong's white hair, the friendship of fighting side by side before surged into his heart, and said mercifully: "Bo Juluo, you no longer have a chance today, so you have surrendered. I can plead for you for the Prime Minister, and at least I can guarantee you peace and prosperity for the rest of my life."

Yuchi Jiong spat: "Wei Xiaokuan, Pu Liuru Jian's ambitions. You have been deeply grateful to the Great Zhou Dynasty. It would be fine if you don't want to repay him. Instead, you will help the evil. If you die, how will you see Emperor Wu?"

Liang Shiyan said beside him: "Yuchi Jiong was too old and ignorant, so he was unreasonable. The marshal didn't have to talk nonsense to him. Finally, he had a slave named Liang Mo, who was very skilled in martial arts. He could first let him go to war, suppress the morale of the rebels, and then attack."

Wei Xiaokuan nodded, and Liang Shiyan winked at a man like black charcoal beside him: "You go up and challenge them and kill them first."

"After the order." Liang Mo urged the battle forward, put the horse spear in front of him, and shouted majestic: "Listen to the traitor on the other side, who dares to fight me?"

Liang Mo's shouts exploded in front of the two armies like a thunder. Coupled with his dark and tall face, many rebels were already shocked. Yuchi Jiong's nephew Yuchi Qin couldn't help it: "Uncle, wait for my nephew to come forward to take off his dog head."

Yuchi Jiong was not fooled. If he had fought, all the children of the Yuchi family would not be enough to look forward. He pointed the sword in his hand forward: "Huanglong Army, go."

"Ho, ho, ho..." The vanguard of the three thousand Huanglong Army began to move with neat steps. Three thousand people were like one, and their powerful footsteps instantly covered the entire battlefield. They held their long swords in their hands and pressed towards the direction of the official army.

Liang Mo stood in the middle and was at a loss. He asked him to deal with the other three thousand people alone. I am afraid that his martial arts skills would be cut off in a short while.

"Liang Mo, retreat quickly." Liang Shiyan shouted out in time. He couldn't bear to die such a brave slave.

"Arrowman, go." Wei Xiaokuan had to retreat with the generals. The middle team was one point, and thousands of archers were already arranged behind.

"shoot!"

"Swish, swish, swish." Countless sharp arrows shot towards Yuchi Jiong's Huanglong Army, covering the sky darkened.

"Herving shield." The advance Huanglong Army was not affected by sharp arrows at all. They just raised their left arm, tied a small shield to protect their heads and faces, and let the government troops shoot in other places.

"Bo, Bow." Countless sharp arrows fell, some of which were bounced away by the small shield of the Huanglong Army. Most of them fell to the Huanglong Army soldiers, but were bounced away. They were protected by polished thin iron armor. Even if they were shot in, the arrows would not be too deep. Many people still moved forward with more than a dozen arrows in their bodies.

The officials all took a breath of cold air. Yuchi Jiong was very generous. These three thousand Huanglong soldiers were wearing chain mail that only had a first-level official position in the Great Zhou generals. Yuchi Jiong's Huanglong army had a total of more than 10,000 people. No wonder Yuchi Jiong was confident in fighting, so he was holding on to this.

"Bandao, crossbow cart." Since the archer was useless, Wei Xiaokuan immediately changed his tactics and led the official army to retreat. A convoy of hundreds of crossbow carts stopped the direction of the Huanglong army's advance.

When they saw the crossbow chariot, the soldiers of the Huanglong Army all turned on their faces, but no one retreated, but their steps were a little messy.

"Let me." Hundreds of giant arrows made a tingling sound that made the scalp shoot at the Huanglong Army that was pressing up.

"Pu, pu, pu." The giant arrow tore the thin armor of the Huanglong Army into pieces and penetrated them hard. Some giant arrows penetrated through several people and stopped. The Huanglong Army who was advancing suddenly had gaps everywhere like a cake that had been gnawed. At least hundreds of people fell under the giant arrows.

"Ho, ho, ho..." The death of the companion seemed to have nothing to do with him. The remaining Huanglong Army quickly replaced the position. It was too late to load the arrows when the officials behind these crossbows wanted to load arrows. Many of the officials who ran a little slower were chopped into pieces by the Huanglong Army's long sword.

"Ho, ho, ho..." The government troops behind the crossbow chariot were cleared, and the remaining 2,000 Huanglong Army was still pressing towards the direction of the government army, as if the more than 2,000 people could crush tens of thousands of troops of the government army.

Wei Xiaokuan knew that he could not retreat any longer, so he said to Liang Shiyan next to him: "Duke Hui, you lead 10,000 troops to surround the Huanglong army to death."

Liang Shiyan looked back and saw his subordinates all appeared in shock, so he had to bite the bullet and shout: "Soldiers, today is the time for the traitor to die, and there will be advance but no retreat!"

"There is no retreat!" Tens of thousands of soldiers all shouted, followed Liang Shiyan, rushed towards the Huanglong army, and surrounded the Huanglong army in a blink of an eye, and the two sides started a battle.

The more than 2,000 Huanglong Army surrounded them, like a hedgehog. Wherever they pointed, there would be a group of officials falling down. Ten thousand officials surrounded them, and were rushed left and right by the Huanglong Army, killing and wounding a large number of soldiers, but they could do nothing to take the Huanglong Army in the middle.

Wei Xiaokuan's face changed: "There are another ten thousand people."

A general responded, and another 10,000 people stepped forward. The 20,000 troops directly trapped the Huanglong Army in the center with their bodies. The Huanglong Army's rotation began to fail. In some places, the formation collapsed and was led by Zhou's generals and soldiers, and the number of casualties gradually increased.

When Yuchi Jiong, who was behind, saw that the front army had exhausted his spirit, began to sing gold and withdraw his troops. The two thousand Huanglong troops turned around and killed them. After a few seconds, they killed the official army and returned to the team they had already formed.

Wei Xiaokuan checked the people and horses in the area. 20,000 were injured and killed in a short period of time, while the Huanglong Army had less than 700 corpses, and most of them were credited by the crossbow chariots.

Despite his own defeat, Yang Yong saw only thousands of Huanglong troops rushing around Wei Xiaokuan and rushing left and right among the 20,000 Zhou troops. He was still fascinated by the invincible situation. The Tang Dynasty Modao Team that was later preached is probably the same. Unfortunately, such an army was not used to fight against foreign tribes, but instead used to kill each other.

"Dong, dong, dong..." The war drums of both sides sounded, and they just warmed up a little, but the battle has just begun. Wei Xiaokuan's four fingers of the order flag, and the 100,000 Zhou troops in front were pressing on the entire line. Only 50,000 troops were left beside him.

Yuchi Jiong was not showing any weakness. He personally led the team and used ten thousand Yellow Dragon Army as the vanguard. From a distance, a black line and a yellow line approached quickly like waves, and then a mass of blood mist burst out in the middle.

"kill!"

"kill!"

There was nothing else in the entire battlefield except for the shouts of killing. In such a battle between hundreds of thousands of troops, the martial arts of individual generals were useless. With more than 10,000 Huanglong Army, Yuchi Jiong actually suppressed the official army and retreated step by step. If the official army had not been victorious a few days ago and had a high morale, he might not have been able to hold on for long before the entire line would collapse.

"Marson, the situation in our army is not good!" Yu Wenxin sighed beside him.

Yang Su groaned: "Why should the reign of the government be more ambitious? At best, Yuchi's husband only has more than 10,000 troops and horses slightly better than our army. The others are all native chickens and tiles. As long as our army withstands the attack ahead, when the Huanglong army loses its ambition, it will eventually be a victory for our army."

Yuwen Xin asked back: "If our army did not withstand the attack in front of Yuchi Jiong, Yuchi Jiong became more and more sluggish. He led the other soldiers with ten thousand Huanglong Army and boosted morale. What if our army was in trouble?"

Wei Xiaokuan's heart moved: "Is it possible that the government can transform the government and public to turn the situation around."

Yuwen Xin said: "Marson, you will have a bad idea at the end. You can help me for the time being, that is, you can ask a general to tie a soldier and rush into the audience!"

The people of Yecheng have a tradition of watching the battle. At the beginning, the ants battle outside the city caused people to watch and bet on it. Now that the two armies are fighting, they have to watch it even more. At first, everyone is at the top of the city, but they see that the soldiers and horses in Yecheng have the upper hand. Thousands of people actually ran out of the city and stood on a hillside to watch.

When the generals present used their troops to kill the people, they all felt it was unreasonable and shook their heads. Yuwen Xin explained: "Once our army rushes into the crowd of people who are watching, in a hurry, they will definitely move closer to the rebels in Yecheng, and even rush into the rebels for protection. In this way, the rebels will be in chaos, and our army can take advantage of the chaos to kill the enemy and turn the defeat into victory!"

Several generals lit up their eyes when they heard this, and Yu Wenxin was even more proud: "Our army rushed into the crowd of people who were watching, and could strip the people's clothes and put them on, mix into the people's group, follow the crowd into the city, kill the enemy guarding the gate, open the city gate, and break the city today."

Li Xun, Yang Su and others were all excited and turned their eyes to Wei Xiaokuan. Before Wei Xiaokuan could speak, Yang Yong shouted: "I object. In this way, even if Yecheng is captured, there will be endless troubles. Yecheng has hundreds of thousands of people. Who knows how many of the dead people are related to their relatives?"

Li Xun and Yang Su both disagreed at all. What's the point of dying some people in war? It was because Yang Yong was the imperial envoy and the eldest son of the prime minister, so he did not scold him. The disdain on his face was not concealed.

Yang Yong turned around and said to Wei Xiaokuan: "Marson, since Yuchi Jiong only relies on his Huanglong army to win, why not let the Huanglong army's offensive bend and directly kill to the rear. You can also win, why bother to lead the people in?"

Wei Xiaokuan's eyes lit up: "Duke Longxi (Li Xun), Duke He (Yang Su) of Qing Dynasty each led 10,000 troops and let the Huanglong army, which had surpassed Yuchi Jiong, kill to the rear. If you have the opportunity, take advantage of the situation to grab the city."

"Yes." After receiving the order, the two men took their troops from left to left to go around the place where they were fighting and killed Yuchi Jiong's rear army. Yuchi Jiong's rear army was indeed vulnerable. Two Zhou troops entered a flock of sheep like tigers, and the rear army of Yuchi Jiong was crushed to pieces in a short time. Yuchi Jiong was leading the Huanglong army to attack the Zhou army fiercely. Suddenly, he found that his rear was in chaos. He was immediately anxious and sent orders from left to right: "Return the army, return the army."

However, the two armies that were fighting were not so easy to escape. Not only could the Huanglong Army not get back, but the defeated soldiers behind rushed into the front army like a tide, dispersing the Huanglong Army's formation.

Without the support of the Huanglong Army, the rebels immediately felt like they were disbanding, throwing their armor and soldiers fled desperately. Yuchi Jiong looked at the chaotic army everywhere and knew that the situation could not be restored. Under the cover of dozens of personal soldiers, he fled to the Yecheng city gate. Only when he arrived at the edge of the city did he find that the southern gate of Yecheng had been seized by the Zhou army. At the door was his son's father-in-law, his in-law Cui Hongdu.

Cui Hongdu took off his helmet and asked, "Do you recognize me?"

Yuchi Jiong cursed: "Pulurujian, you are a slave who is inferior to a pig and a dog, a thief with human face and beast heart! Zhou Shi treats you well, but you will repay your kindness with grudges. I will not let you go even if I become a ghost."
