Infinite War Begins with Cao Thief

Yang Guang had no choice but to retreat.

At this point, even someone as conceited as him realized that the situation was not good.

No matter how many big plans and small ideas he had for this eastern expedition, he had to give up, because life was the most important thing.

However, Yang Guang realized it too late.

Yang Guang's enemies were not only Zhuge Liang's troops in Liaodong City on the east bank of the Liao River, but also a large number of Dayu troops appeared on the west bank of the Liao River.

Jia Xu's general Zhang Liao, Wutugu, Lian Po, Xu Huang, Le Jin and other corps successfully bypassed the main force of the Sui army through sea transportation and landing, and appeared behind the main force of the Sui army with flags flying and high morale, not only cutting off the retreat of the Sui army, but also cutting off the supply line of the Sui army.

When the Sui army was in a panic, Zhuge Liang's troops finally left the city, and Yue Fei's troops were also on the way to rush.

The Sui army had no choice but to take advantage of the fact that the Dayu army had not yet completely completed the encirclement, first defeat Zhuge Liang's troops who were leaving the city, cut off the Dayu army's arm, and then concentrate all their efforts to defeat Jia Xu's troops in Hexi.

However, this choice of the Sui army was also within Zhuge Liang's expectations.

Zhuge Liang had even arranged the battlefield long ago.

At this time, the main force of the Sui army under Yang Guang's army actually had more than 700,000 people, and there were even more civilians and auxiliary soldiers.

This was also Yang Guang's confidence.

In the final analysis, Yang Guang was not a person who didn't know about military affairs. He was even the commander who destroyed Chen that year; of course, this knowledge of military affairs was also relative. In fact, his military level was even far inferior to Dong Huang.

For the Sui army and Yang Guang, the best choice at this time should be to send people to cover the rear and block the pursuers, and then the army would forcefully cross the Liao River, defeat Jia Xu's troops or at least tear apart Jia Xu's defenses, and retreat back to the borders of the Great Sui Dynasty.

However, Yang Guang wanted to fight.

To put it bluntly, it was still because of face, and he didn't want to retreat so shamefully.

As a result, just as the Sui army pressed near the position where Zhuge Liang's troops were deployed, a sky-high explosion occurred in the center of the Sui army's thick military formation.

The 600 billion detonating talismans buried underground were triggered at the same time. At the center of the explosion, all the people and horses were shattered, and a large number of people were killed in the surrounding area. A large number of war horses were frightened and ran wildly.

A large number of flaws appeared in the thick military formation of the Sui army.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the Sui army, Zhuge Liang, who was very good at commanding the formation, calmly commanded the Wudang Flying Army and other elite troops to rush into the Sui army. The heavy cavalry of Dayu immediately aimed at the weak points of the Sui army and started to drill through them.

The Sui army fell into great chaos. Some of them fought back with blood and courage, some fled in all directions, some knelt down to surrender, and some were dumbfounded and didn't know what to do.

The Dayu cavalry almost tore the Sui army in the center into two halves.

In times of crisis, several generals of the Sui army stepped forward.

Yang Xuangan, who was supposed to rebel next year, turned out to be a loyal minister this time, showing his Xiang Yu's bravery, leading part of Yang Guang's imperial guards, Xiaoguo Army, and barely blocked Huang Zhong's troops.

Yang Xuangan and Huang Zhong were evenly matched.

The most elite Xiaoguo Army of the Sui Dynasty also blocked Huang Zhong's troops.

However, Yang Xuangan's participation in the battle this time was not really out of loyalty, but because he realized that if no one could turn the tide, the Sui Dynasty would be defeated miserably!

The army was defeated, and in this situation of being surrounded on three sides, Yang Xuangan could not guarantee that he would be able to escape.

So, he was also saving himself.

He was confident that with his bravery, he should be able to retreat calmly after this performance!

In addition to Yang Xuangan, generals Tu Wanxu, Yu Juluo and others also stepped forward and led their troops that had not yet been in chaos to fill in.

Li Jing, Fan Zigai, and even Li Yuan, Pei Ju and others also showed their abilities.

These famous generals and elite soldiers fully demonstrated the strength of the military nobles and the strong soldiers who had survived the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Thanks to their efforts, the Sui army was able to reorganize the rear army and regain the strength to fight.

However, the price paid by the Sui army was also extremely heavy. When Yang Xuangan turned around to escape, he was shot in the back by Huang Zhong and died; generals such as Tu Wanxu and Yu Juluo also died in front of the battle, and the troops they led were basically lost.

The front troops of the Sui army were almost wiped out.

In just one contact battle, the Sui Dynasty lost more than 200,000 people.

It is regrettable that Yang Guang did not seize the opportunity gained by his ministers' desperate efforts.

Yang Guang panicked and hesitated on whether to fight or retreat.

Yang Guang did not put his army on a desperate battle, but ordered Wang Rengong to lead the army to cover the rear, and he personally led the army to retreat.

The rear guard here is actually no different from sending death.

As a loyal minister, Wang Rengong could only obey orders.

Wang Rengong wanted to hold the camp and wait for the main force of the Sui army to cross the river before breaking out, but the army with low morale was quickly defeated by Zhuge Liang's troops. Wang Rengong was killed by his men and surrendered with his head.

At this time, only one-third of Yang Guang's army had crossed the river.

When about one-half of Yang Guang's army had crossed the river, the Dayu army in Hexi finally launched an attack.

Wutugu's elephant soldiers took the lead.

The giants that had been selected and cultivated in many worlds, with the heavy armor driven by 108 regeneration cores, were heavy-armored monsters on the battlefield.

Not to mention strong bows and crossbows, even the bed crossbows in this world might not be able to break the defense.

The elephants charged forward, invincible, and no enemy dared to stand up to them.

A few Sui soldiers wanted to resist with spears, but the spears pierced the heavy armor, only sparks came out, and the spear shafts broke immediately, and the soldiers holding the spears were trampled into meat paste by the elephants.

The heavily armored war elephants that move like the wind are terrifying enough. The giant warriors such as the bulging bones on the war elephants are not fuel-efficient lamps. They wield heavy weapons and are invincible, sweeping away a large area.

When the levels are not much different, the size advantage is very terrifying.

The Mo Dao, which is dozens of meters long, will kill both men and horses when it is swept over.

The Sui army's vanguard suffered heavy losses and even had no desire to resist.

Even Yang Guang was taken away from his momentum and was frightened.

"Come here, escort me! Quickly escort me!"

Yang Guang was about to tremble.

When Wutugu's troops launched the attack, Zhuge Liang's troops, Yue Fei's troops, and the naval force Jiang Qin's troops also came one after another, and successfully divided Yang Guang's army on both sides of the Liao River, unable to take care of both ends.

The battle lasted for half a day, and the Sui army suffered heavy losses. However, because there were too many famous generals and elite soldiers, the army still managed to hold the camp and was surrounded by the Yu army.

Yang Guang decided to fight against the odds.

However, what he didn't know was that most of Dayu's current senior generals had spanked Han Xin, the peak commander of "The Last Stand".

Before Yang Guangmao's army had time to fight, it felt like it was surrounded on all sides.

A large number of prisoners of the Sui army who had been captured by Yue Fei's troops and those who had been defeated by Dayu's army in recent days sang Sui songs outside the camp.

The morale of the Sui army plummeted.

On the advice of his famous generals, Yang Guang ordered a breakout on all sides and gave the dragon robes of honor to his dead soldiers. He put on the uniform of an ordinary cavalry and blended in with the crowd to escape.

However, just as the Sui army took action, they encountered an ambush from all sides by the Yu army.

The Dayu army, which had the advantage of reconnaissance, almost never let go of an enemy.

Yang Guang, who was not identified, was also surrounded on a hill.

By this time, Yang Guang knew that he could not escape and was unwilling to surrender to him. He finally chose to hang himself on a crooked tree.

In the entire battle, most of the generals of the Sui army including Yang Xuangan, Yu Wenshu, Wang Rengong, Mai Tiezhang, Lai Huer, Tu Wanxu, etc. were killed in the battle. A few generals such as Li Yuan chose to surrender. More than 700,000 people surrendered before and after. The Sui army became prisoners.

Of course, Dayu's losses were also very heavy, and the elite suffered their biggest losses since the first battle with Qin.

The number of regeneration cores lost due to destruction or overuse exceeded 200,000.

Every regeneration core is the life of a ninja or white Zetsu!

However, although the losses are great, the gains are even greater.

After the entire Liaodong Campaign, the qualifications of all the soldiers who participated in the Dayu Army have been improved to a certain extent, and some personnel, especially low-level personnel, have achieved breakthroughs in their realm.

Dayu is stronger both in terms of foundation and strength.

Even Dong Huang, who worked hard on Hou Xin, felt that his duration was longer.

Under Dong Huang's first hard work, Hou Xin's realm finally achieved a breakthrough, reaching the eighth level of mythology, and soared all the way to the peak of the eighth level of mythology.

Previously, Hou Xin's accumulation was actually enough, and what she lacked was just a finishing touch. Now that Dong Huang broke in, it was natural for her to break through again.

With the density of spiritual energy in this world, Hou Xin even felt that she could break through to the ninth level of mythology.

While the decisive battle in Liaodong was taking place, others in Dayu were not idle either.

Governor Fazheng's troops, as well as Xu Huang, Wei Qing, Wei Liao, Zhang Han, Wang Li, Wanyan Chen and other tribes, attacked across the sea. Fazheng sent Wei Qing to lead other troops to surprise Linyuguan (Shanhaiguan) and conquer Beiping County. Then the main force led by him will advance along the Yongji Canal by water and land, and directly take Xujun.

(Fa Zheng’s road map)

At this time, the defenses of the counties in Youzhou were at their weakest. Even the civilians were mobilized to transport supplies to the front line, and the defense force was extremely weak.

Fazheng's troops easily occupied Zhuojun, while Wei Qing also made a surprise attack and captured Linyu Pass.

At this time, the most organized resistance force in the entire Youzhou turned out to be Luo Yi's subordinates.

Previously, when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty sent troops to the east, he ordered Luo Yi, the governor of Beiping County, to govern Xinchang County (today's Jianchangying Town, Qian'an City, Hebei Province). Under his command were Hu Benlang generals Zhao Shizhu, He Lanyi, Jin Wenyan and others. More than 30,000 troops.

The only choice before Luo Yi now was surrender or retreat.

After hesitating for a while, Luo Yi chose to surrender and held a banquet to invite Zhao Shizhu and others, who were also Tiger Generals. After drinking for three rounds, Luo Yi was about to speak to persuade, but he did not expect that Zhao Shizhu and others spoke first. Testing Luo Yi's thoughts showed that he wanted to surrender.

Historically, Zhuo County had a prosperous population, sophisticated weapons, abundant granaries, and abundant treasures, which attracted many thieves to invade and plunder. The remaining officials Hu Benlang, Zhao Shizhu, He Lanyi, Jin Wenyan and others could not resist. Only Luo Yi went out to fight alone and killed countless enemies.

Later Luo Yi killed Zhao Shizhu and others and established himself in Youzhou.

In this time and space, when Luo Yi saw that everyone had the same idea as him, he burst into laughter, then threw a cup as a sign, and a group of men rushed in and chopped Zhao Shizhu and others into pulp.

"Father, they are all willing to surrender, why do they still..."

Luo Cheng, who resolutely carried out Luo Yi's order and led the swordsmen and axemen to kill, couldn't help but ask after the killing.

Luo Yi waved his hand and told everyone else to go down, and then said to his son: "If you surrender with them, the credit belongs to everyone. If you kill them and surrender, tell Dayu that it was us, father and son, who killed these people who did not want to surrender." After that, if the whole city surrenders, the credit will belong to us and our sons!”

Luo Cheng was convinced.

With Luo Yi's surrender, more and more cities in Youzhou chose to surrender. At this time, Dayu also brought the body of Emperor Yang of Sui and a large number of surrendered soldiers into the pass. Dayu implemented a strategy of light taxes and levies, reducing labor while opening warehouses to release grain, and Youzhou was quickly pacified.

The main force of Dayu in the north then divided into three groups, one group went south to pacify Hebei, one group went west to attack Shanxi, and the last group was led by Yue Fei, Wei Qing, and Huo Qubing to attack the Turks.

At this time, the combat effectiveness of Dayu's army had generally improved, and a large number of them broke through the original realm. In terms of the naked soldier level, they were no less than the top elite in this world. However, Dayu also had the advantages of equipment and logistics, which was enough to support Dayu's three-sided attack.

In addition to these three groups of troops, Dayu's previous backhand was also launched at the same time.

Cheng Yu and Han Xin dispatched their troops. Cheng Yu attacked Wagang and established Wagang Village, while Han Xin adopted a strategy of luring the enemy deep into the city. Then he played a genuine battle of last resort at Weishui. He defeated Zhang Xutuo's troops without using the Dayu army and relying on the natives he conquered along the way.

Zhang Xutuo and his generals Fan Hu and Tang Wanren died in the battle, while Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Jia Runfu and others surrendered.

Then Han Xin divided his troops and marched south to capture Yishui and other places. It was only a matter of time before he took over Shandong.

Xiang Yan's troops took Pengcheng and other important places along the way and approached Jiangdu.

Jiangnan, Haojing.

The ones in charge of the battle here were mainly the female generals under Dong Huang, including Queen Zhurong, Hua Man, Lv Lingqi, Huang Yueying, Wang Yi, Sun Shangxiang, Huang Wudie, Ma Yunlu, Hu Sanniang, Bu Lianshi, Liang Hongyu, Lu Meng, Zhang Yulan, Zhang Qiying...

The tigresses who had been holding back for too long, with the cooperation of the navy, cut off Wang Shichong's retreat. Queen Zhurong injured Wang Shichong with a flying knife and captured him alive.

Lv Lingqi and others killed their way to Yuhang.

Liu Yuanjin and others who were separatist were panicked, but they still went out of the city to fight a decisive battle under the instigation of the war agent.

As a result, the female generals dispatched more than 30 "golden men" in one breath, directly overturning the army of Liu Yuanjin and the war agent coalition.

Lv Lingqi and other female generals who did not like to be bound rushed to the battle, like a gust of wind, tearing the last courage of Liu Yuanjin's troops.

Liu Yuanjin, Guan Chong and others were killed, and all of Liu Yuanjin's subordinates surrendered.

The female generals' corps then went north and joined forces with Xiang Yan's troops to capture Jiangdu City.

At this time, the Hebei area, which was not well prepared, was also occupied by Dayu.

So far, from the northeast to North China, Shandong and then to Jiangdong, they were all occupied by Dayu.

The world was shocked.

Yang You, the King of Dai, who was guarding Chang'an, hastily proclaimed himself emperor with the support of the ministers. He was eight years old (nominal age).

Yang You was the grandson of Yang Guang. His father was Prince Yuande Yang Zhao and his mother was Concubine Wei.

Because Yang You was young, the ministers asked Yang Guang's queen, Empress Xiao, who is now Empress Xiao, to be regent.

Empress Xiao was gentle and intelligent, knowledgeable and polite, naturally beautiful, and still had charm. She was nicknamed the Six Flavors Emperor Play.

Legend has it that after Yuwen Huaji killed the emperor and became the emperor, he took Yang Guang's concubines into his harem and loved Empress Xiao, who was 51 years old at the time;

After Dou Jiande killed Yuwen Huaji, he was also amazed by Empress Xiao, who was over 50 years old, and they enjoyed music and dance every day;

Then there was his brother-in-law, Chuluo Khan;

After Chuluo Khan died, he and Chuluo Khan's wife, who was also the cousin of Emperor Wen of Sui, were married to Chuluo Khan's younger brother, Jie Li Khan;

Finally, she was married to Tian Khan Li Shimin...

In short, this is also a riding woman.

Dressing up as a queen mother and ruling from behind the curtain, she has a unique charm.

If Dong, who is known as a black chicken and a hundred phoenixes, saw this, he would definitely not be able to control himself.

However, Dong Huang is still unable to get Empress Xiao, who is far away in Chang'an. He can only interrogate the Yin Hou Zhu Yuyan who has fallen into the trap to calm her down...

It can only be said that there is only a wrong name, but no wrong nickname. Yin Hou is well-deserved...
