"Zhu Can from Nanyang County…"
Yang Ji narrowed his eyes slightly.
This Zhu Can had the bad habit of eating people. Even the ministers in the court paled at the mention of him, let alone the local people of Nanyang County.
Getting rid of Zhu Can's power could be considered as getting rid of evil for the people.
"In that case, this king has decided to go out and destroy the rebel army led by Zhu Can.”
Yang Ji made a decision and announced directly.
"Raise 20,000 Western Navy soldiers, Li Cunxiao will be the vanguard general, and follow this king on the expedition.”
Yang Ji said lightly.
The ministers 'expressions changed slightly. Last time, there were 70,000 soldiers, but this time, only 20,000 West Ocean soldiers were sent?
Although Zhu Can was not as strong as the Wagang Stronghold, he was still a great leader among the rebel soldiers of the Central Plains. The total number of troops under him was at least 100,000.
20,000 soldiers against 100,000 soldiers, the difference was not small.
The ministers had the intention to persuade the Emperor's grandson to increase his military strength, but when they thought of the combat ability and dazzling achievements of the Western Navy, they stopped here!
Moreover, Zhu Can's evil deeds had caused him to lose the hearts of the people and the morale of the army. His generals could not compare to the elites of the Wagang Stronghold, let alone the few elites under Huang Taisun.
In addition, Yang Ji had his own reasons for only leading the 20,000 West Ocean troops.
He wanted to let the rebel army know that no one could rebel just because they wanted to. Even if there were only 20,000 soldiers, he could still take care of the rebel army.
With these 20,000 iron cavalry, they could also trample on any small fry who had any improper thoughts about Great Sui.
The drafting of the imperial edict by the Ministry of Central Affairs was still the same set of procedures.
Following the order, the 20,000-strong army was ready to go.
With cold faces and armor that reflected rays of light, this was the West Ocean army that was ready to go.
They rode on their warhorses and straightened their waists, waiting for the arrival of the imperial grandson.
Ta Ta.
The sound of hurried horse hooves could be heard from the city gate.
Dressed in black armor, Yang Ji rode a fast horse over.
Li Cunxiao and Li Shimin, who were at the front of the army, suddenly became solemn.
When Yang Ji arrived at the city gate of Luoyang, the army's oath before departure began.
"The imperial grandson is sending troops again?"
"Isn't that so? This matter of quelling the rebellion is carried out swiftly and decisively!”
The commoners at the city gate discussed animatedly.
After all, not much time had passed since the battle at the Tile Gang Village.
"Zhu Can, a rebel of Nanyang County, has committed heinous crimes and harmed the people. I will lead you to attack immediately to capture this person!”
Yang Ji raised his Dragon Stripe Overlord Halberd and shouted.
"Follow Your Highness to the expedition and kill Zhu Can!”
The 20,000 soldiers of the West Ocean Army wore a cold expression. Their voices were not loud, but they sounded powerful.
Besides, did such elites need to be encouraged?
There was no need for that. They were born to fight and kill. They had no morale to speak of. All they had was the determination to be fearless and trample over all obstacles in front of them.
This was the West Ocean army!
"Let's go!"
Following Yang Ji's order, the West Ocean army changed directions and stepped onto the official road.
Rumble!
Yang Ji rode his horse to the front of the army, followed by Li Cunxiao and Li Xiuning. As for Li Shimin, he was still the commandant of the army and had the command of a thousand people.
The wind blew and the horses trod on the ground. The elite West Ocean army once again showed their sharpness.
At the same time, the second phase of the rebellion had begun.
To eliminate the rebel forces in the Central Plains, let's start with Zhu Can.
The army moved at lightning speed. The rebel forces were within Taiyuan, so it did not take too long.
The army soon arrived at the first generation of Nanyang County where Zhu Can was.
The northern wind blew from time to time, making a shrill sound.
The ground was desolate, and there were many human bones buried in the wind and sand.
Yang Ji's eyes were cold, and the killing intent in his eyes was very dense.
Wuuu!
Sensing Yang Ji's killing intent, the Dark Stallion raised its hooves high.
"Get into formation!"
Yang Ji shouted.
With this shout, the West Ocean army quickly got into formation.
The main formation of the army consisted of 10,000 cavalrymen, while the left and right wings consisted of the remaining 10,000 cavalrymen. In other words, there were 5,000 cavalrymen on each side.
The left and right wings were led by Li Cunxiao. The main mission of these two armies was to bypass the rebel army and attack Zhu Can's central army!
In addition, after the sound of horse hooves tore through the shrill wind, the news of the arrival of the Sui army quickly spread to Zhu Can's camp.
When Zhu Can heard the news of the arrival of the Sui army, his expression was filled with fear. After all, the grandson of the Sui royal family had recently achieved monstrous results and made a resounding reputation. Zhu Can thought that he could not compare to the Wagang Village, let alone the crown prince of the Sui royal family.
However, when he heard that the Sui army only had about 20,000 people, he laughed out loud.
A mere 20,000 Sui soldiers against his 100,000 strong army, wasn't that a joke?
Between the two, the difference in military strength was five times. This was a huge difference in military strength.
"Let the Sui army have a taste of our power. Send troops into formation. I want the Sui army to not live past today. In addition, capture the crown prince of the Sui family alive.”
Zhu Can laughed loudly. Under the obvious difference in strength, he felt that victory was within his grasp and boasted shamelessly.
The morale of the rebel soldiers also soared, and they rushed to claim that they would personally take down Sui Shihuang's grandson.
Kill!
The rebel army charged out with overwhelming arrogance, and the battle began.
Under the arrogance of the rebel army, the West Ocean army was as calm as a lake. They stared coldly at the rebel army who claimed to have eaten human flesh.
"Kill them!"
Yang Ji's tone was low as he waved his arm.
Rumble!
The army of the West Ocean army began to move. They charged at the rebel army in silence.
An army of 10,000 was facing at least 60,000 rebel soldiers. The difference in strength was obvious.
If one were to observe the entire process of the charge, one would feel that the West Ocean army was like a lone boat surrounded by rebel soldiers.
However, the West Ocean army was not a lone boat. Instead, it was a sharp sword that stabbed fiercely at the enemy!
Roar!
As they neared the rebel army, the West Ocean army at the forefront let out a roar. It was like the roar of a wild beast, and it was extremely shocking.
Some of the rebel soldiers were stunned. They vaguely realized that the eyes of the Sui army's cavalry seemed to be red. A bloodthirsty red light slowly spread out from the depths of their pupils.
Puchi!
While he was distracted, a cavalryman of the West Ocean army stabbed a rebel soldier in the chest with his spear.
The last thing the rebel soldier saw was Sui Jun's incomparably ferocious face!
On the other side, the armies on the left and right also began to charge. They all charged towards the rear of the rebel army in an orderly manner.
However, the rebel army was ten times stronger than the Sui army, so the left and right armies still had to face many rebel soldiers.
"Kill them!"
On the right flank, Li Shi Min roared in rage and slashed a rebel soldier to death with his spear.
