Although Liu Yu was very sure that Liu Wuzhou would send troops to support sooner or later, the problem was that the reinforcements of the Dingyang army had not yet arrived, and Li Shimin's army had already driven over, so the situation was really not optimistic...... Reading the latest and most complete novel, Kou Zhong stood on the wall on the periphery of the cottage, looking at the terrifying lineup of Qin Wangjun, and couldn't help but feel a little numb.

Li Shimin's army was between 40,000 and 50,000, and they set up camps all over the vast hilly areas facing the cottages, and the company camps were dozens of miles, with banners like the sea and tents like forests. Hundreds of siege equipment such as ladders, crash cars, trebuchets, and crossbow machines have been pushed to the front line more than 2,000 steps away from the cottage by the soldiers of the Qin Wang Army, showing the strength and heritage of the Qin Wang Army!

In contrast, the number and equipment of the young marshal's army were too inferior, and if it weren't for the geographical advantage of their military village, this battle would have been impossible to fight at all. Even if you can still fight, just by looking at the heavy faces of the young marshal soldiers, you also know how difficult this battle is in the case of low morale.

"Erlizi really invested a lot of money this time......" Kou Zhong muttered rather depressedly.

Although the young marshal's army could be regarded as getting rid of poverty and becoming rich after receiving the secret assistance of the Song valve, Li Shimin reacted too quickly and almost did not give them time to spend money on expansion; Second, this siege equipment is not something that can be bought with money, and all warlords need to prepare their own materials and spend a lot of effort to train reliable craftsmen to design and build.

It is the quantity and quality of an army that can best highlight the essence of an army. Even Liu Yu, that was after recruiting Lu Miaozi. Ding Yang Jun's equipment did not ask for others. You must know that before Liu Yu wanted to equip an ironclad heavy horse, he needed to exhaust his private treasury and ask the Dongming faction to buy it......

Yang Gongqing tugged at his own beard fiercely. Appearing even more depressed than Kou Zhong, he said: "King Qin didn't spend any money at all, those instruments were all transported directly from Luoyang City, and most of them were personally supervised by the old man!" ”

"It would be nice if those instruments also knew how to recognize their owners, and Yang Gongda could summon them over." Kou Zhong smiled bitterly a few times and said, "What should I do now?" It's better for me to lead the cavalry out first to slash and slash and destroy the opponent's siege equipment as much as possible. Otherwise, no matter how strong our village is, it won't last long......"

This is called "a mountain is higher than a mountain", although Liu Yu found such a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the preparation is very sufficient. But it still can't withstand Li Shimin's "money sea tactics": the number of soldiers and equipment is too far apart, even if the young marshal army can really hold on and wait for reinforcements, it will definitely suffer heavy losses.

"No way!" The crowd spoke out in unison.

"The hilly terrain will inherently weaken the role of cavalry, not to mention that you are the main general. How can you risk your life? Yang Gongqing said with a glare.

Xu Ziling said, "I'll just go." Stay behind and answer it. He glared at Liu Yu secretly, no matter how he looked at it, he had a little complaint.

The military master who was lying down and was shot again touched his nose and said with a light smile: "Master Kou doesn't have to worry, Elder Yang doesn't need to get angry, and Master Xu doesn't have to work hard, I arranged a follow-up move early in the morning to discipline King Qin's blood!" ”

Liu Yu sent people to carry boxes of firecracker arrows and fire oil bombs to the wall and directly distributed them to the soldiers and generals guarding the village. See this. Yang Gongqing, Xu Xingzhi and others were shocked and suspicious, and asked: "When did the army have these armaments?" I don't even know anything? ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly, and said casually: "These are the private goods from the northwest that I brought with me when I brought in the grain and grass last time......"

Kou Zhong knew in his heart that these must be firearms supervised by Lu Miaozi that were "smuggled" from Dingyang Jun, and Liu Yu didn't want to say it explicitly, so he helped change the topic and said: "Great, so that we have more confidence to defend the village, can these firecracker arrows and fire oil bombs burn the siege equipment of Erlizi?" ”

Liu Yu shook his head and said, "The other party's siege equipment must have a fireproof coating on it, and firecracker arrows and fire oil bombs are only used to deal with soldiers. If you want to deal with equipment, you have to use this ......" He took a large box from his own soldiers, lifted the lid and opened it, and everyone looked inside, and inside were two bows with a strange shape folded into three! The bows are made of a special twist of steel wire, which is both flexible and strong, and the strings are also made of steel wire, and the best thing about this is that they can be folded and carried. When Liu Yu spliced and restored them, everyone was dumbfounded.

"These two bows, called 'Piercing the Sun' and 'Shooting the Moon', are the top works of the Strange Archery Master, and it takes two hundred stones to open the bow, and the range is up to a thousand paces away." Liu Yu handed a magic bow to Kou Zhong, and then pointed to a box of things that looked like iron bullets brought by his own soldiers, and continued: "These are special thunderbolts, fired from the treasure bow, and only two or three are enough to blow up a siege machine. ”

"Who is the Arrow Master? These two bows are just so beautiful. Kou Zhong stroked the bow arm with a slight golden glow and said excitedly.

Liu Yu smiled lightly: "Master Arrow is a world-famous bow craftsman, a few years ago I sent a man finally found his old man, and invited him to his home in the name of the world's first craftsman Lu Miaozi, now Master Arrow is probably quarreling with Old Man Lu, we will have the opportunity to meet him sooner or later." ”

Just when Yang Gongqing and others who didn't know the truth were more and more confused, the shouting and killing outside the village erupted: Qin Wang's army began to charge!

The soldiers of the young marshal's army immediately performed their duties, methodically commanded the soldiers to push the wood and stone down the mountain, and set fire to ignite the oil in the trench......

This first wave of soldiers has always been used to find the way and send them to death, so Liu Yu's secret weapons are not in a hurry to use, when the first wave of enemies is almost dead, the second wave of enemies also rushed over, and then the third and fourth waves...... This is the legendary crowd tactic, no matter how tightly defended, the enemy can always rush through the position to the front of the wall, and then build a ladder to climb the wall. The soldiers on both sides began to fight hand-to-hand.

Now the city defense equipment in the wall is still sufficient, and there are very few enemy troops who can pass through many obstacles and climb the ladder, let alone kill Liu Yu, Kou Zhong, and Xu Ziling. Kou Zhongpestle didn't fight here. After a while, he felt very bored, he was a little itchy to try the power of the bow, Liu Yu mentioned that they would go back to the arrow field in the village to test the firing, anyway, it was only the first day of the battle, and both sides clearly knew that there would not be much progress in the first few days.

Li Shimin couldn't be so stupid as to waste the siege equipment in the first place, they at least had to wait until the young marshal's defense equipment was almost consumed before they moved, and now those big guys just played a role of display and deterrence. Therefore, the treasure bow that Kou Zhong had just obtained was useless for the time being.

The battle of attacking the city and seizing the fortress consumes time and manpower and financial resources, and the generals who lead the troops and give orders also have to go into battle in batches and take turns to rest. A few words of encouragement were loudly encouraged. Kou Zhong withdrew to the wall for the time being, leaving only Yang Gongqing to continue to guard the wall.

###########################################################

In the first few days, it was quite easy to defend the village, but by the time it was seven or eight days, Kou Zhong was already going into battle and killing the enemy bravely! More and more enemy troops climbed the wall. In order to prevent the battle line from breaking. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling took over the task of filling the vacancy with strong force, killing and killing on the wall, and sending the enemy troops who rushed up back to the underworld.

In more than ten days of offensive and defensive battles, the battlefield was full of roars and fireworks, which can be described as rivers of blood. The Qin Wangjun has lost nearly 10,000 people, and the young marshal's army has also lost more than 3,000 casualties. Even when soldiers were assigned to constantly cut down wood and carry stones, it was not enough to make ends meet......

For Li Shimin. The soldiers lost by the Qin Wangjun army were very worthwhile, and the significance was to consume the equipment of the young marshal's army to defend the city. Now, it has finally come to the moment when the siege equipment of the Qin Wangjun shines! Huge stone bullets fell from the sky, smashing the walls of the wall, making a tooth-sour sound, and the soldiers defending the city were also killed and injured, and the flesh and blood were blurred everywhere.

While dodging the stone bullets, Kou Zhong drew his bow and fired the thunderbolt at the enemy's catapults, but even if he destroyed nearly 100 of the opponent's catapults in a few days, the smashed wall was finally unable to withstand it...... Another stone bomb flew whizzing, becoming the last straw that overwhelmed the camel, only to hear a loud "bang", and the wall collapsed!

"Kill!" Qin Wangjun shouted loudly, the soldiers poured over like a tide, and Kou Zhong quickly grabbed the box containing the thunderbolt as the wall collapsed, and threw it out violently—the remaining dozens of thunderbolts exploded in the crowd of the enemy army, causing a scream and blood flying. When the wall of the village turned into a pile of broken wood, the young marshals and soldiers in the village also shouted and rushed out, and the troops on both sides bit together fiercely and killed them in the dark.

"Quick! The whole army retreated to the inner village to hold the mouth of the gorge! Liu Yu used the bowstring in his hand to break the neck of an enemy general, took advantage of the situation to put the bow behind him, and pulled out his saber with his backhand and killed dozens of people in a row, which finally rescued Yang Gongqing and Xu Xingzhi who were almost trampled to death by the chaotic army, and escorted them to the inner village.

"Where's Kou Ye?" Yang Gongqing covered the blood on his head and shouted: "He was still on the side of the wall just now, will he be crushed by the collapsed wall......

"He'll be fine, take care of yourselves!" The rebels swept their "headquarters" to pieces, and Liu Yu had to protect these most noble generals and strategists, and he dragged Yang Gongqing and Xu Xingzhi to the mouth of the gorge, ready to be loaded and transported away at any time.

But Yang Gongqing, a stubborn old guy, obviously didn't appreciate it, he didn't see Kou Zhong and was reluctant to return to the inner village, and stared at a pair of distrustful eyes, and yelled at Liu Yu: "Even if Kou Ye dies, the old man will not change to another family!" His judgment is very sharp, but he regards Liu Yu as an intermediary for other forces.

Liu Yu continued to wield his knife, chopping melons and vegetables to eliminate the incoming enemy, and replied without looking back: "How can Kou Zhong die so easily...... Relying on the luck of his son of the world, even if Li Shimin, the "Lord of Destiny", dies, he will not die!

At this time, Xu Ziling was bloodied and killed here, and Liu Yu hurriedly handed over the strategists to Xu Ziling to take care of. Turned around and killed again into the dense enemy formation. Xu Ziling escorted Yang Gongqing and others back to the inner village, personally guarded the mouth of the gorge that was not opened by a husband, and put it in when he saw that it was his own people. If it is an enemy, it will be killed, and in a short time a "corpse wall" will be built in front of this gorge.

The soldiers and advisers were all slumped on the ground behind the gorge, breathing in the blood-smelling air, and Yang Gongqing asked worriedly, "Has Xu Ye seen Kou Ye?" And that Liu Junshi...... Do you know what he does? ”

"Elder Yang, let's put 10,000 hearts......" Xu Ziling leaned against the cliff, killing people almost numb, and when he heard Yang Gongqing's question, he came to his senses slightly. Tugging the corners of his mouth, he smiled: "Zhong Shao, that guy, Lord Yan doesn't dare to accept it!" As for 'Liu Junshi'...... He is a different person, but he is a man we absolutely trust. You'll find out soon! ”

For the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty, Liu Yu and Kou Zhong were the real Yama princes, and after the two of them joined together, they took the thousands of remnants of the army outside the gorge. Simply killed the twenty or thirty thousand Qin Wang troops who poured into the wall after the wall collapsed!

It's not just a one-sided slaughter of ordinary soldiers of the Qin Wangjun. Liu Yu even divided part of his mind to pay attention to Li Shimin's Chinese army, and when he saw Li Shimin leading the army into a range of a thousand steps before the collapsed walled gate, a hungry wolf-like light suddenly appeared in his eyes, "Xiao Zhong, act separately!" ”

The two of them performed light skills, and pounced on the two "abandoned wells" in the village like afterimages, removed the boulders on the wells, and threw the lit flags and fire folds and other items into them. Kou Zhong didn't know what the point of doing this was. But for Liu Yu's arrangement, he has always trusted him 100%.

Liu Yu will obviously not live up to this trust. When the two of them completed their task and met again, the ground suddenly trembled, and the soldiers on both sides were a little panicked, and many soldiers shouted "The earth dragon has turned over" and "God is angry...... At this moment, I only heard the sound of "boom boom" explode, and more than a dozen flames rose into the sky, and Li Shimin's Chinese army was already in chaos!

It turned out that as early as the construction of the village, Liu Yu ordered people to take the place where the two abandoned wells were located as the starting point, dug a semicircular channel inclined down according to the mountain situation in the ground, and then dug more than ten huge wellheads with a radius of several zhang in a place about a thousand steps before the gate of the village and connected them with the deepest part of the underground passage, and poured fire oil into them, and finally covered those wellheads with stone manhole covers, and sprinkled soil turf for covering: once the oil was ignited, the hot air flow would break open the manhole cover, and the burning oil would burst out of the ground......

For a while, Rao was the elite and good at fighting with the Qin Wangjun, but he was also frightened by such an accident that "destroyed the world and destroyed the earth": the Chinese army is where the main general is, and their King Qin will be fine, right?!

How could such a good opportunity be missed, Kou Zhong immediately shouted: "Li Shimin is dead, the brothers of the young marshal army will kill with me!" The encouraged soldiers immediately slaughtered the distraught and panicked enemy troops.

While Liu Yu took the lead in rushing forward to kill, his eyes widened and he looked at the chaotic Qin Wang Zhongjun, searching for Li Shimin's whereabouts. After a while, he finally saw the guy in gold armor from a distance, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "It's really a blessing, so he didn't get killed!" "The oil burned and exploded, and at least more than 1,000 people were killed and burned to death, and countless people were injured, but Li Shimin was still safe and sound, and he really deserved to be the "Lord of Destiny" who was only under the "son of the world"? !

After this day's fierce fighting, the formation of the Qin Wangjun has basically been messed up, the soldiers are all panicked, and even the commander Li Shimin was injured, so he can be said to have no choice but to temporarily order the retreat. However, even if Mingjin withdrew his troops, Qin Wangjun did not retreat in a swarm, but they assembled in batches and had clear rules, completely ignoring the young marshal's army to have half an opportunity to take advantage of, which is enough to see Li Shimin's strong ability to command the troops! What's more, the two sides fought such a tragic Cheng dù, and almost everyone in the young marshal's army was injured, even if they wanted to pursue again, they were powerless and helpless.

Kou Zhong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the Qin Wang's army retreat to the camp, invited all the strategists and generals in the gorge to come out, gathered the generals together, and counted them again: There are still more than 4,000 people left in the young marshal's army, and the morale is particularly high, which can be worthy of a battle. But the military fortress of the young marshal's army has been broken, and there are about 20,000 people left on Li Shimin's side, don't say that he has waited for tonight, as long as Li Shimin integrates the soldiers and horses and then kills the generals, the young marshal's army that has lost its geographical advantage and has no danger to defend will be really bad!

Just when Kou Zhong was thinking about whether to give up the Yuntai Mountain Range. When I left from the sea through Guò Baizhang Gorge, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground in the distance, getting louder and closer. It made everyone's hearts beat wildly.

"Could it be that Li Shimin has integrated the soldiers and horses so quickly, and wants to kill the horse gun?" The face of the void is faintly pale, but his gaze is still very determined. The officers and men of the Young Marshal Army are also desperately prepared. They looked at it from afar, but saw that there was no movement of soldiers and horses in Li Shimin's camp, on the contrary, the other party was also very nervously vigilant, and even sent dozens of scouts to investigate.

Yang Gongqing frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's a fisherman who came to pick up a cheap ......"

Kou Zhong looked into the distance. I saw countless cavalry galloping from the field, the army was neat, the flag was fluttering, and the first person was standing on the horse, majestic. The figure is as majestic as a mountain, "Hey, it's the reinforcements who have arrived!" ”

"Uncle Qin! Didn't he disappear after the fall of Wagang, how could he pull up such an elite cavalry? "Yang Gongqing has enough eyesight. Finally, the man in front of him was recognized. I couldn't help but exclaim. You must know that this Yang Gongqing is also a general of the Sui Dynasty, and he once served under Zhang Xutuo, so he is naturally no stranger to Qin Shubao. However, Yang Gongqing immediately saw Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's happy appearance, and his heart suddenly fell to the ground, and he asked as if he was verifying: "Kou Ye, is this our reinforcement?" ”

"Hmm." Kou Zhong nodded, and said with a slight sneer, "It's just that I wasn't sure if they would arrive in time. That's why the brothers were not informed in advance, so that they would not be foolish...... I hope that Yang Lao will not be blamed. ”

Yang Gongqing smiled bitterly: "Since the old man is mainly Kou Ye, of course there is nothing to blame. It's just that which force is this, and it is even better than Qin Wangjun in terms of military strength? ”

Glancing at Liu Yu, Kou Zhong smiled and said, "This is the reinforcement sent by the Dingyang Army......

"Ding Yang Jun? Then it's no wonder! In the whole world, probably only the Dingyang Army, which suppresses the Turks, has such a strong military strength......" Yang Gongqing nodded, glanced at each other with Xu Xingzhi, and hesitated: "Master Kou, I don't know what is the relationship between our young marshal army and the Dingyang army?" Secret allies? ”

Shaking his head, Kou Ye said directly: "Strictly speaking, our Young Marshal Army and Dingyang Army are one family!" The reason why the Song lords would provide us with military funds before was because they were allies with the Dingyang army......"

Yang Gongqing was about a little misunderstood, took a deep breath, and said with a complicated face: "What Kou Ye has done is the wisest choice for us at the moment, and now even if it is to let Ding Yang Jun be this fisherman, it is better than the whole army being wiped out...... It's just that with Kou Ye's character, can you really respect others calmly? ”

At first glance, Kou Zhong is a person who will not mix with officialdom, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be discharged from military power in the future, cross the river and tear down the bridge...... This is really why Yang Gongqing is not worried, because he does not completely regard Kou Zhong as a lord worthy of allegiance, but also looks at the other party with the mentality of elders cherishing younger generations.

Roughly understanding Yang Gongqing's worries, Kou Zhong punched Liu Yu on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "If it were someone else, I would naturally be unconvinced, but the eldest brother and I are a family, and you can't talk about respecting me......" Speaking of this, he no longer explained, turned over his horse, and went straight to the large army of Dingyang Army. Liu Yu and Xu Ziling naturally got on the horse and followed.

############################################################

Since even Yang Gongqing could see that Dingyang's army was better than Qin Wang's army, Li Shimin naturally knew it in his heart, so he didn't dare to intercept Qin Shubao's army, and watched them join forces with the young marshal's army victoriously.

When things got to this point, there was no need to cover it up, so Kou Zhong directly exposed the relationship between the young marshal army and the Dingyang army. The soldiers of the Young Marshal Army are not very resistant to changing their courts to join the Dingyang Army, after all, joining the army and fighting in these years is not to make meritorious contributions or to support their families, and the Dingyang Army is obviously very suitable for everyone's needs. In addition, the young marshal's army did not need to be broken up and reorganized, and such a smooth and harmonious transition of military power made the brothers who were still worried also relieved and happily joined the camp of the Dingyang army.

After the merger of the two armies, they did not delay much, and after a short rest, they withdrew from the Yuntai Mountains together. Qin Wangjun did not pursue, Li Shimin watched the enemy leave with a very bad face, and he had chest tightness and shortness of breath for a while, and he didn't even have the strength to say cruel words.
