At the time of the third watch, the world was silent, and the bonfire burning in the northern camp of the Sui army was gradually extinguished, except for the torches in the hands of the patrol soldiers, the entire camp was dark.

Lu Zushang has led 10,000 soldiers, touched five miles away from the Sui army camp, as the main general, Lu Zushang is not afraid of fighting with the Sui army head-on, he is worried that the ground will suddenly appear thistle, if the soldiers accidentally step on it, it will definitely pierce the soles of the feet, if the screams alarm the enemy, then the night attack will have an eighty percent chance of failure.

The soldiers did not have the slightest intention of stopping, and continued to rush towards the Sui army camp, and the soldiers in front had already taken out the prepared noose, which was used to pull down the camp fence of the Sui camp.

Soon, the army silently dived to less than a mile, never encountered the thistle, Lu Zushang's hanging heart finally fell, through the glimmer of the barracks, he saw that the soldiers had erected rattan shields, but when they killed more than four hundred steps, a loud roar suddenly came from the camp: "Attack." ”

"Woo woo woo woo ......" The Sui army camp suddenly sounded a rapid horn.

With the sound of the horn, the catapults in the barracks started at the same time, the long arm pole was swung, and pieces of fist-sized stones roared and smashed into the dense crowd, and the gravel smashed into the crowd, and some soldiers were smashed into a blur of flesh and blood, and the miserable sights were unbearable, and one after another the gravel smashed into the crowd, and the screams were one after another.

"Kill!" After the initial hectic chaos, the Tang army, under the leadership of generals and colonels at all levels, immediately charged towards the Sui army camp.

"Bang bang ......" another round of catapults, a jar of fire oil fell to the ground, the clay pot was broken, the fire oil splashed, and the smell of oil soon spread.

"It's not good, it's fire oil, spread out!" Lu Zushang's face became extremely ugly.

At this moment, a branch of rockets swept up from the ground in the camp, and with a low roar, it crossed a brilliant arc in the night sky and fell towards the camp gate.

It seems that the scene of the entire starry sky falling down, but Tang Jun can't feel the beauty, at this moment? Oil meets open flame? It burned all at once, and countless Tang soldiers stained with fire oil were engulfed in flames? The entire south gate was in front of the fire.

The oil did not cause serious losses? But there was chaos in front of the battalion, and the whole army was also exposed to the eyes of the Sui army in the battalion.

Although discovered by enemy forces? But Lu Zushang didn't want to give up like that, and he couldn't give up like this? At least tear a rift in the Sui army camp for Li Xiaogong? He gritted his teeth and shouted: "The warriors of the Tang Dynasty, today is the beginning of the myth of destroying the undefeated Sui army, erecting a shield? Kill! ”

"Shields? Kill. "This Tang army was Li Xiaogong's elite soldiers, and after the initial panic, he found that the losses were not large, and at the moment under the order of Lu Zushang, he launched a charge again.

In a flash? The sound of killing shook the sky.

"Finally waited for the Tang Army to come." Du Fuwei, who was about to take a nap, suddenly swept away his sleepiness and shouted with great energy: "Order the soldiers to assemble." ”

Talking? rushed out, and without saying a word, he stepped on the war horse? Rushed to the south camp.

Today's scouts said that the Tang Army camp is fragrant with meat, and tens of thousands can be smelled? He realized that Li Xiaogong slaughtered the war horse to satisfy his hunger? The Tang army fell to this step? It also means that the dog will soon jump over the wall, so he ordered the generals in the battalion to guard strictly, especially to pay attention to the night attack of the enemy.

In order to wait for this moment, his armor was unresolved tonight, and when the shouting and killing were heard, Du Fuwei came to his senses.

But he wasn't worried.

Although the enemy attacked at night, it was easy to attack the main camp. But as long as the generals are well prepared, the soldiers will not be chaotic.

Li Xiaogong will not be pressed by the whole army, right? In this way, it is easy to have command confusion, and if there is an accident, it is unimaginable that the loss will occur. Therefore, the number of enemies who come to attack can be as few as a few thousand, or at most twenty thousand.

I'm afraid of his fart.

is waiting for this moment, not to mention eating 10,000 Tang troops, even if you eat 1,000 or 100, Du Fuwei will be very happy.

When he arrived at the Nanying Watchtower.

Just saw Yizi Kan Ling commanding the soldiers to set fires, and by the light of the raging fire, Du Fuwei's eyes lit up.

He is accustomed to living a tight life, knows how to make careful calculations, and always thinks that if the enemy loses one soldier, he will increase by two. So many enemies are sent to the door, and it is a fool to be unhappy.

"You go to the front to command, and I'll guard."

"Whoa." Kan Ling answered, jumped down from the watchtower, and rushed to the front camp.

"Shoot the arrows." Seeing that the Tang army had been killed within range, Kan Ling immediately ordered that the Tang army was looking for death, just waiting to be harvested.

"Buzz~"

Ordered, suddenly ten thousand arrows were fired, one by one crossbow arrows tore the air, and they had been shot in an instant, in the continuous muffled sound, Kan Ling was taken aback, the crossbow arrows failed to penetrate the opponent's shield, although they also caused certain casualties, but it was too far from the imaginary scene.

"Kill it!" Seeing that the vine shield worked, Lu Zushang couldn't help but roar excitedly.

The order to attack had been given, and the Tang army saw that the vine shield had indeed blocked the opponent's crossbow arrows, and they couldn't help but have a great boost in morale and a little faster.

"Keep shooting!" Kan Ling said in a deep voice.

The crossbow was fired continuously, and there were constantly unlucky Tang soldiers who fell to the ground with arrows, but the soldiers in the rear quickly picked up the rattan shield and continued to move forward, just in case, Lu Zushang not only made a large number of double-layer rattan shields, but also a small number of three-layer and four-layer rattan shields, even if they were killed to a range of fifty paces, the crossbow arrows of the Sui army still failed to penetrate the rattan shield.

Kan Ling saw that the big killer had been restrained, and there was no bed crossbow in the camp, so he couldn't help but snort coldly, picked up a Mo knife, and shouted: "The 'Mo Knife Array' will go out of the camp with me, and tell these turtles that even if we don't use crossbow arrows, we are still invincible, and the pseudo-Tang turtles are still a group of rabble!" ”

The Mo Dao Formation is completely different from the simple Mo Dao Hand, and it is a large and small formation composed of multiple troops.

Kan Ling saw that the opponent's shield could even block the crossbow, and he didn't know if the Mo knife could be broken, so he gave the order for the Mo knife array to attack.

"Kill!"

The door of the camp was opened, and the Modao Formation composed of 3,000 soldiers, under the leadership of Kan Leng, roared and killed the Tang army, and the two soldiers and horses collided together like two torrents in front of the camp.

"Poof!" I saw that the elite of the Sui army quickly pulled away from each other, and the five people quickly formed a small group, they seemed to fight separately, but faintly echoed each other, a Tang army soldier rushed up with a shield, and before he could swing the knife, his right arm was pierced by a spear, and the left hand of the vine shield fell due to pain The moment, a Mo knife fell from the sky, breaking his head with a knife, almost at the same time, a hook and sickle has hooked his feet, and another short knife hand with a crossbow on his chest snatched the vine shield from his hand, and followed the top forward.

The battle began in front of the barracks, and the imaginary situation did not appear in Lu Zushang's eyes, after the Sui army lost the power of the bow and crossbow, the killing speed was no worse than the crossbow arrows, and the small gangs with tacit understanding were extremely fierce, although the soldiers of the other side were better than their own hands, but the soldiers they brought faintly showed signs of being divided.

Lu Zushang couldn't help but feel a little anxious. According to the previous experience of attacking the camp, if the enemy's catapults, fire oil, bows and crossbows and other garrison equipment fail, then the attacking side should kill the enemy to collapse in one go, but when his army and the Sui army clashed, not only did the imaginary situation not appear, but the enemy gave up the advantage of the camp and took the initiative to go out of the camp to fight.

Moreover, the Sui army's seemingly flawed military formation, from the beginning of the battle, was like a spinning top embedded in its own military formation, and began to spin wildly, killing its own soldiers and crushing the army.

In fact, melee skills and group cooperation are the main body of the Sui army's daily training, and the world-famous cavalry archery, crossbow array, and Mo knife hand are because of the simple operation, in fact, there are not many skills themselves, but the Sui army has always used mounted archery, crossbow array, and Mo knife to defeat the enemy, and the mainstream training of hand-to-hand combat is rarely used, leading some people to mistakenly think that the Sui army does not know the art of battle formation, and even if it can, it is not fine, otherwise why never see the Sui army use it?

Lu Zushang also thought so before, but this time, the tacit cooperation shown by the Sui army almost made him bite off his tongue, and he found that the vine shield did stop the sharp crossbow arrows, but it couldn't stop the Sui army's close combat, just because there was a spear staring at the hand of the shield holding the knife to greet, and another hook and sickle spear was aimed at the calf hook, thorn, and top, and the vine shield hand couldn't take care of it.

Although Lu Zushang wanted to make adjustments, the soldiers on both sides were already in a mess, and the Tang army was made to jump up and down by the small formation of the Sui army, so that one by one 'slapper blade' was broken, and it was like taking a monkey's brain, and the key was that the Sui soldiers killed more and more.

The sneak attack was unsuccessful, and he was caught in a bitter battle.

This is the most taboo thing to do in a night attack on the enemy camp.

The night attack failed, and tonight was doomed to the loss of thousands of soldiers. But if it doesn't retreat, this army of pretending to attack at night will be finished.

"Withdraw troops."

Lu Zushang immediately made a decision, and the soldiers around him immediately blew the horn, and the Tang soldiers immediately retreated like a tide.

"I only want to leave now, don't you think it's too late?"

"Shoot the arrows!"

The range of the Great Sui repeater is as high as 300 steps, and at this moment, the Tang army has been killed in fear, how can it care about the retreating formation? There were even quite a few shield bearers who rushed to the front, completely exposing their backs to the Sui army, how could Kan Ling let go of this opportunity?

The soldiers of the Sui army, who had stopped the pursuit, quickly took out the crossbow hanging diagonally in the leather pouch on their chests, and shot at the enemy, and the dense rain of arrows hit again, and this time the Tang army fell like a cut straw.

Lu Zushang shouted angrily and tried to stabilize the military formation, but he had no choice but to watch the fearless soldiers being shot and killed by the enemy, and he had to be coerced away by the chaotic army.

At this time, seeing that Kan Ling stabilized the situation in Nanying and quietly went out from Dongying, Du Fuwei led 10,000 Sui cavalry to kill, and they were divided into two routes, one way Xin Fanger led 5,000 people to cut off the Tang army's retreat, and the other route Du Fuwei led 5,000 people to kill the Tang army group from the middle, cutting off the Tang army's ranks, killing the Tang army's corpses all over the field and bleeding like a river.

The arrival of the cavalry greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers under Kan Ling's command, and they covered up the killing from behind, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

The army was covered for several miles, and Du Fuwei gave the order to withdraw the army, not because he didn't want to completely annihilate the already chaotic Tang army.

Rather, he was worried about winning first and then losing. Because it is not impossible to pretend to attack at night to lure the enemy out of the camp and ambush an ambush in the middle. Du Fuwei accepted it when he saw it, also out of prudence.

"Li Xiaogong really can't support it." Back at the camp, Duvowe laughed.

Li Xiaogong couldn't support it, so he would sneak attack the camp. Otherwise, with Li Xiaogong's calm character, how could he attack his camp at night? In other words, his previous preparations worked.

It's just a pity that the Tang army came too little, and the number should only be about 10,000 people.

It is very different from Du Fuwei's imaginary idea of destroying 30,000 or 40,000 night attack soldiers first, and then expelling the rout troops to attack the Tang army camp.

However, it has earned thousands of people, which is not a small gain.

"Order the officers and men of all battalions to be on strict guard and not to slacken." Du Fuwei laughed, a night attack but a lively counter-night attack to win a big victory, it was really enjoyable.

"That's right!" Du Fuwei seemed to think of something, turned around and said: "There is a quite classic example of the "History of Ancient Wars" given to me by the Holy Lord, that is, Zhang Xiu went to chase and kill Cao Cao at night, and ended in failure, and then went to chase and kill, so that Cao Cao was defeated and fled, and even Zhang Xiu himself almost killed him. Li Xiaogong is crazy now, you have to be careful of his second, third, and fourth sneak attacks, everyone will take turns to be stationed tonight, don't be Cao Cao. ”

"The last will obey."

"Father-in-law!" Kan Ling screamed.

"Huh?"

"The example you mentioned has actually happened to us." Kan Ling said softly.

"You mean the Battle of Danyang?" Du Fuwei also remembered his own experience at once.

When he was not the Tiger of Jianghuai, Li Zitong was the biggest force in Jiangnan.

Not long after he gained a foothold, he had Fugong Qi as the main general, Kan Ling and Wang Xiong as deputy generals, and led 20,000 soldiers and Li Zitong to fight in Danyang County. But Fu Gongyou did not grasp the timing well, Li Zitong personally led the main force to meet the battle, Fu Gongyou saw that he was outnumbered, and in a hurry, he asked Wang Xiongdan to lead 2,000 recruited troops as the vanguard, and Kan Ling led 5,000 elite soldiers to follow, and he led the rest of the troops to follow. Fu Gongqi was eager to win, but was forced to be defeated by Li Zitong's army, and fell from a victor to a loser.

That night, Li Zitong won the enemy, Wang Xiongdan strongly persuaded Fu Gong Yi to attack the enemy camp at night, and Fu Gong Qi, who had been defeated, did not dare to attack, Wang Xiong Dan simply led the army to attack on his own. Li Zitong was caught off guard, and was defeated and dispersed, and tens of thousands of people scattered overnight. This battle was a crucial decisive battle between Du Fuwei and Li Zitong, Du Fuwei won first and then defeated and finally won all of them, dramatically breaking Li Zitong's main force, making it lose its position as the overlord of Jianghuai, and Du Fuwei also established the status of the Jianghuai Tiger because of this battle.

If you think about it carefully, it is really very similar to the struggle between Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao.

"Yes!" Kan Ling nodded.

Du Fuwei also thought of his deceased brother-in-law, was silent for a long time, and sighed: "Since you know, you must be careful tonight." It must not become Cao Cao and Li Zitong. ”

"The child understands!" Kan Ling understood that his father-in-law was in a bad mood and didn't dare to mention it again.
