Infinite War Begins with Cao Thief

In the winter of the seventh year of Daye, Yang Guang organized the expeditionary army in the southern and northern suburbs of Jicheng and personally gave the generals the military command.

The army was organized into 24 left and right armies, each with one general and one deputy general. In addition, the imperial camp (the central army) included 12 guards, three courts, five provinces, and nine temples, and was divided into six armies inside and outside, front, back, left and right. Together with the 24 left and right armies, there were 30 armies in total. There were a total of 1,133,800 people, 2 million, and the number of people who provided food and transportation was doubled.

The generals of the army included the famous generals Mai Tiezhang, Yuwen Shu, Lai Huer, Tu Wanxu, Duan Wenzhen, Jing Yuanheng, Xin Shixiong, Wang Rengong, Zhou Fashang, Xue Shixiong, Cui Hongsheng, Li Jing, Fan Zigai, Shi Xiang, Yang Yichen, Zhao Cai, Yu Juluo, Zhang Jin, Li Yuan, Yang Xuangan, etc.

There is one more Li Yuan and one more Yang Xuangan here than in history.

In history, Li Yuan was transferred from a civil servant to a military post in the eighth year of Daye, and supervised the transportation of grain and grass in Huaiyuan Town during Emperor Yang of Sui's second expedition to Goryeo.

Such changes in this time and space are naturally related to war agents.

Some war agents wanted to defect to Li Tang and rise to prominence with the help of Li Tang, and naturally some wanted to kill Li Yuan's family. After all, the reward for killing Li Yuan's family was too generous, so they used counter-espionage tactics and spread various rumors. It was at this time that Li Yuan was still quite trusted by Yang Guang, otherwise he would have been finished long ago.

Yang Xuangan was even more unlucky. There were constant rumors that Yang Xuangan had a destiny and that he was plotting a rebellion, which made Yang Xuangan, who was already somewhat suspected, be taken by Yang Guang directly, refusing to give him the opportunity to lead the troops independently. Yang Xuangan did not dare to take the initiative to ask for independent leadership, and he was very frustrated.

In history, Yang Xuangan's rebellion, which did not break out until Yang Guang's second expedition to the east, was undoubtedly over. After all, it was not certain whether Yang Guang could make a second expedition to the east.

After everything was ready, on the second day of the first month of the eighth year of Daye, Yang Guang issued an edict to the left and right 24 armies to march from Jicheng.

On the third day, the first army set out, and one army was sent every day. Each army was 40 miles apart, and they marched in camps. Finally, all the armies set out on the 40th day. The army followed one after another, drums and horns were heard, and flags stretched for 960 miles.

The imperial camp combined the twelve guards, three platforms, five provinces, nine temples, and the six armies inside and outside, front, back, left and right, and set out in sequence, stretching another 80 miles.

At the same time, the Great Sui Navy, under the command of Lai Huer, Zhou Fashang and others, set out from Denglai, intending to attack Pyongyang first.

This expedition to the east was "the grandeur of the army, which was rarely seen in history".

When Yang Guang just moved to Jicheng, Dayu took the initiative. The army disguised as rebels went upstream along the river and attacked Jinling City.

The Jinling defenders did not expect that there would be enemies from the river and soon fell.

Dayu then released Haojing.

Dayu, a capital built by multiple worlds, absorbed another Jinling City again, and its area and level were improved. Under the protection of thirty-six continuous mountains and a large formation covering the entire area, it became Dayu's largest and most solid core base.

If Dayu spared no effort, Dayu's five million armored garrisons alone would be enough to sweep across Jiangnan.

Dayu held back, on the one hand because it was afraid that Yang Guang would retreat, and on the other hand because it was waiting for more people to break through.

Dayu had many elites stuck in the first to third levels of mythology. In this world with more spiritual energy, the probability of breaking through the bottleneck is very high. After the breakthrough, the loss will undoubtedly be much smaller.

Dayu's sword was set on Jiangnan, but Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty did not care too much at this time.

First, Dayu had not raised its flags, but pretended to be a rebel army, marching on the river under the cover of fog as much as possible, and even chose to attack Jinling at night, so Dayu's intelligence was not leaked much.

Second, after capturing Jinling, Dayu had no further action, which further paralyzed the Sui army.

Yang Guang, who was ready to march east, did not pay much attention to Pan Lian, who was more powerful in Shandong, let alone this "scabies" that only lost a city.

Yang Guang only ordered Wang Shichong, who was then the chancellor of Jiangdu, to lead the army to attack.

Wang Shichong, who was always ambitious, was overjoyed and began to recruit soldiers on a large scale.

The history of the Jiangnan era in the Sui and Tang dynasties was a mess.

During this period in history, the flag of the formal rebellion in Jiangnan had not yet been raised, and it would have to wait until next year before the chaos would come.

In history, the first batch of generals sent by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty to quell the rebellion were not Wang Shichong, who was appreciated by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty for his flattery, but Generals Tu Wanxu and Yu Juluo.

Wang Shichong's early promotion also gave some war agents an opportunity.

The Sui Dynasty did not pay enough attention to the Dayu Army, but the war agents did not.

Even with fog and other cover, it was impossible for the war agents to completely hide the army of more than 100,000 people and the powerful fleet. What's more, Dayu directly took Jinling in the end! Moreover, none of the scouts sent by the major war agents sent out intelligence!

Many war agents sent people to join Wang Shichong's army, ready to assist Wang Shichong in killing the Dayu Army, and then wait for an opportunity to seize Jiangnan.

Now the war agents have learned to be smart. They no longer concentrate all their forces in a few cities, but send their elites to join various forces, bet on many parties, and they can't hide themselves.

In this way, even if someone wants to settle accounts afterwards, they may not be able to find people. At the same time, the ability to resist risks is greatly improved.

Wang Shichong, the hero, is naturally the choice of many war agents.

Not only that, in order to further expand their power, after seeing someone raise the banner of rebellion and act as the first bird, the already restless Jiangnan was also completely chaotic under the instigation of war agents.

Liu Yuanjin from Yuhang was the first to lead his troops to revolt, and his troops soon reached tens of thousands. Zhu Xie from Wujun and Guan Chong from Jinning also raised troops to rebel, with 100,000 troops and called themselves generals.

Liu Yuanjin was "a chivalrous man since he was young, and was respected by the state." To put it bluntly, he was a gangster boss.

Many leaders of rebellions in history actually had almost the same identity.

With money, force, and a group of fearless subordinates, they wanted to take a big chance when the world was in chaos.

Because of the participation of war agents with various purposes, this war was completely messed up from the beginning.

The chaos was so chaotic that Wang Shichong was completely at a loss, because the entire Jiangnan region was almost full of rebels. He had not trained for a few days and was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly crossed the river, because he knew very well that according to Yang Guang's temperament, no matter what reason he had, as long as he did not cross the river to quell the chaos, the responsibility for the chaos would be put on his head, and he would lose his head.

However, the cunning Wang Shichong did not directly attack Jinling, which had not received any intelligence after many investigations, but attacked Yuhang first.

The reason for attacking here was, first, because Liu Yuanjin had just rebelled and his men were a group of rabble; second, because this place was rich and could get a lot of money and food, and only with money and food could we train strong soldiers.

Wang Shichong was still very cunning.

While Wang Shichong was sharpening his sword against Liu Yuanjin, the Sui army on the Eastern Expedition also suffered its first disastrous defeat.

This disastrous defeat occurred at sea.

Lu Xun led one-third of Dayu's fleet, took advantage of the maneuverability, made a big detour on the sea, detoured to the rear of Lai Huer's fleet, and launched a surprise attack at night.

Lu Xun first used a small sailboat equipped with a regeneration core under the control of the shark, carrying a ninja who was good at fire escape, and quickly rushed forward, using the fire attack + fire ship tactics.

Lai Huer's troops were shocked.

Naval warfare is different from land warfare. Naval warships are the foundation of everything.

The Sui army hurriedly woke everyone up and sent out the dead soldier water ghost.

Unfortunately, when the fire ship was discovered, it was too close, and the Sui army was not prepared at all. When the water ghost entered the water, it was too late, and they were unable to stop several fire ships.

Fortunately, this was not a normal historical dynasty. The Sui army's ships also had certain fire prevention functions, and there were no iron chains, so they would not burn the camp all at once.

The bad news is that a large part of the sails of the ships were ignited by the fire escape.

Even the Haohuoqiu, known as the Fire of Mercy, has made a great contribution.

The fleet of the Sui Dynasty was still a sailing fleet after all. If the sails were lost, the situation would be very bad.

However, the Sui army was not powerless to resist.

Lai Huer and Zhou Fashang hurriedly commanded the fleet to disperse and called on the archers to attack. At the same time, a situation that Dayu had not encountered when it destroyed Wa, Goryeo, Silla and other countries appeared.

The Great Sui actually had an organized spellcasting team!

On each warship of the Great Sui, there were at least two officials wearing the official uniforms of the Imperial Observatory.

Under their spellcasting, the wind direction actually changed.

The wind direction blowing towards the Sui army remained unchanged, and the wind direction blowing towards Dayu turned into a headwind.

It was as if a magical barrier separated the battlefields of Dayu and the Sui army.

"Magic?"

Lu Xun's eyes lit up.

While he was calling for acceleration on his own side and slowing down on the other side, he ordered the ninjas who were good at wind escape to perform wind escape. At the same time, he ordered the fleet to lower the sails and rely entirely on steam power and regenerative nuclear power to move forward.

Unexpectedly!

Our sails are just disguises, the real power is the steam engine!

"Firepower coverage, don't rush to boarding, consume first! Sharks and beasts go to deal with the other side's water ghosts, and wait for an opportunity to slash the ship!"

Although Lu Xun wanted to catch some mages from the Imperial Observatory, he was a very cautious person, fearing that the enemy had other trump cards, such as summoning water monsters, atavism, etc., so he played it safe.

Under Lu Xun's prudentness, Lai Huer was scratching his head.

If it was a land battle, he would have taken the lead in the charge, but at sea, Lu Xun used the performance of the ship and only played long-range, not giving him the opportunity to board. In this case, Lai Huer couldn't even leave his ship, and his only role was to shoot a few arrows.

But in the dark, how many people could he shoot?

On the contrary, the Dayu army, because of the existence of the white eyes, can accurately locate the position of the Sui army's ships.

Frustrated!

There is no other frustration!

Facing the steady Lu Xun, knowing that if this continues, the whole army will be annihilated, Lai Huer can only order with hatred to let the deputy general Zhou Fashang lead the army to cover the rear.

There is nothing wrong with his order in theory. First of all, he is the main general, and it is not appropriate to cover the rear; secondly, he, as the main general, is mainly responsible for land warfare, and Zhou Fashang is the real commander of the navy.

Zhou Fashang also had no choice but to execute the order.

But the problem is that the Sui army is about to collapse. After the Sui army that was ordered to stay behind to cover the rear, a large number of them surrendered after their sails were burned.

However, Dayu doesn't care whether they really surrendered or not.

"Ironclad ships lead the way! Don't pay attention to the enemy ships that are not blocking the way, just destroy their sails and masts. The army will give priority to chasing the fleeing enemy ships!"

Lu Xun ordered calmly.

If it was just the sail, maybe the other side had spare sails. Even the mast was destroyed, so the other side could only go with the flow. Whether they lived or died at that time depended on Dayu's mood.

This order from Lu Xun directly caused the Sui army that was left behind and fled to collapse.

In this battle, Lai Huer and Zhou Fashang's troops were completely wiped out.

Lai Huer committed suicide, Zhou Fashang died in battle, and most of the Sui army surrendered.

The news of Lai Huer and Zhou Fashang's failure would not reach Yang Guang's ears for a while, but Yang Guang's mood was still not very beautiful these days.

First, Duan Wenzhen, the general of the Left Guard and the Minister of War, who led the Left Sixth Army out of Nansu Road, fell seriously ill on the way and died on March 12.

The loss of a general before the battle added a hint of ominous atmosphere to this battle.

When Yang Guang did not believe in evil, the army would not retreat in disgrace just because a general died of illness. After all, it was not Zhuge Liang who died of illness.

However, Yang Guang's opponent was Zhuge Liang.

Yang Guang, who did not believe in evil, continued to march forward. On March 14, he arrived at the Liao River. At this time, all the troops of the Sui Dynasty had gathered and set up a large formation on the west bank of the Liao River, while Zhuge Liang blocked the water and resisted on the east side of the Liao River.

On March 15, Yang Guang personally went to the place where the bridge was built and ordered the Minister of Works Yuwen Kai to build three floating bridges from the west bank.

On the 19th, the Sui army led the floating bridge to the east, across the Liao River, and planned to cross the river with the help of the floating bridge.

However, an embarrassing thing happened.

Yuwen Shu's bridge was broken, and it was still more than ten feet away from the east bank.

Yang Guang wanted to kill Yuwen Shu with a knife, and there was laughter from the other side of the river.

The Dayu army had fought for so many years, and this was the first time they saw a floating bridge built like this.

Some of the Yu army began to sing: "Yang Guang won the world with a clever plan, and his reputation of killing his father and mother spread!"

Swish——

Yang Guang, with a red face, drew his sword directly: "Who will help me kill this beast?"

The master was humiliated and the minister died. The warriors of the Sui army bravely crossed the river, went to the water to fight, and launched an attack on the Dayu army.

Zhuge Liang sat in the chest of Optimus Prime, one of the thirty-six golden men given to him by Dong Huang last time, holding a fan and laughing.

As his fan fell, Dayu fired thousands of arrows.

Both of them were blessed by the military formation, and the bonuses of the military formations of the elites of both sides could almost offset each other. The elites of the Sui army were generally mythical levels three and four, wearing three or four layers of heavy armor, with strong aura and fearless of death.

But Dayu's arrow formations were almost all armor-piercing heavy arrows. Whether it was the magic-modified Zhuge Liannu or the hard bow, they were extremely powerful. With the blessing of Huang Zhong, they exerted shocking lethality.

The Sui army suffered heavy casualties for a while.

In addition, Jiang Wei, Wei Yan, Ma Dai, Wu Yi, Wang Ping, Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi, Ma Zhong and other generals personally defended the river bank, and the Sui army could not land at all.

This time, the Dayu army sang even more happily.

Yang Guang's face became even uglier.

At this moment, Yuwen Shu wanted to die. Knowing Yang Guang's character well, he finally couldn't help but ask for a fight at this moment.

However, there was a person who was faster than him.

Mai Tiezhang, the general of the right garrison of the Sui army, led the tiger guards Qian Shixiong, Meng Cha and other fierce generals, and went out of the formation and personally landed and attacked, breaking several armors in succession.

Facing this scene, Zhuge Liang just smiled faintly, and didn't even give any other orders, just asked Huang Zhong to get on the car.

Because he knew that the enemy army could not rush over.

Sure enough.

Although Mai Tiezhang and others were brave, they were just showing off their courage at this time.

In the end, Mai Tiezhang and others were killed by Jiang Wei, Wei Yan and others.

With the death of Mai Tiezhang and others, the morale of the Sui army plummeted, but Yang Guang still did not want to give up.

Just when he was about to force Yuwen Shu, who had lost his face, to lead his army to attack, a cold arrow suddenly shot.

Huang Zhong took action.

The arrow was like thunder and arrived in an instant.

At the critical moment, Yang Guang's imperial luck and military power saved his life.

Huang Zhong concentrated all his strength on an arrow, but it was weakened beyond recognition and only shot off Yang Guang's two front teeth.

Yang Guang was shocked and retreated in a hurry, and the Sui army retreated immediately.

However, what the Sui army did not expect was that the Dayu army actually took advantage of the Sui army's retreat and sent cavalry to pursue.

The Dayu warhorse used the regeneration core to tread water as if walking on flat ground, and under the leadership of Zhao Yun, it easily stepped across the Liaohe River.

The unprepared Sui army was in chaos, with countless Sui soldiers either killed by the Dayu cavalry or trampled on by each other.

Zhao Yun's troops chased for thirty miles and broke through seven camps of the Sui army.

It was not until the acting Right Tunwei General He Chou led 30,000 imperial camp crossbowmen to appear that the Dayu army slowly retreated.

In this battle, the Sui army suffered more than 100,000 casualties.

Yang Guang was furious and decided to launch a more violent attack to avenge his broken teeth!
