The night was full, and the crescent moon, which had not been seen for a long time, finally smiled, mischievously walking through the dark clouds in the sky, and the not very clear light was sprinkled on the earth, flickering and dimming. However, the storage center of the Tang army was brightly lit, and hundreds of torches illuminated the camp gate as if it were day.

A group of Tang troops guarded the vicinity of the camp gate, patrolling back and forth without slackening in the slightest, and another 10 brigades of 100 men formed a patrol team, patrolling back and forth within a two-mile radius outside the camp, and no outsiders were allowed to approach.

Four or five miles south of the camp, there is a hill that stretches for more than ten years, and the forest is luxuriant, at this moment, the 20,000 Sui troops under the command of Luo Shixin have entered the hill forest, and they are resting on the trunk of the tree in twos and threes, without making the slightest human speech, making the whole forest very quiet, as if there are no human beings.

Today's Sui army is the elite division selected after the military reform, the number has indeed decreased sharply by nearly 200,000, but the combat power has not decreased and increased, especially since the members of the 'Military Affairs Division' at all levels have been in the camp for more than a year, the Sui army's self-discipline and loyalty concept have reached a higher level, and in terms of ideological consciousness, the Sui army is definitely the best in the world! These veterans know how to cherish every breath before the war, and they know that if they squint more, they will have more vitality when they arrive on the battlefield!

Li Zhengbao stood in front of the hill with a wide field of vision, silently staring at the Tang army camp in the distance, what appeared in front of him was not a regular military camp, but a warehouse group of grain and grass heavyland, the Tang army lived in various main roads, but from the perspective of the camp furnishings, the person who set it up was obviously also an expert in camping.

The first line of defense is a trench four feet wide and three feet deep, the trench is not deep or shallow, nor wide, it is slightly wider than the length of ordinary war horses, once the horse falls, it is stuck in it and cannot move.

The second line of defense is the camp fence, all around which are fences built up by tree trunks, one end is firmly driven into the ground, one end is sharpened, and the other crosses to form an "X" shape, each 'X' is stabilized by a beam, the spacing is not full, it is difficult for adults to penetrate, and then, there is a slightly low deer-pointed fence with which it is crossed, if it is suddenly forced to enter from the outside, there is a danger of being pierced by the sharpened wood inside, and there is a sentry every thirty steps, and the guard is very strict. According to Guan De's confession, the Tang army also had thistles underground, which were set up to prevent the sneak attack of the Sui army with sufficient cavalry.

The whole camp is divided into three parts, the word 'product' is distributed at the edge of the Luoshui, the defender camp is located in the northernmost part of the warehouse group, about two miles away from the warehouse group, the wharf and the warehouse group are parallel to the riverbank, the wharf is located downstream, the reason why the warehouse group is high in the upper reaches is that the county town of Lushi is far away from it, if the Sui army attacks, the common sense is to destroy all kinds of materials in the warehouse group, it is in the upper reaches, if it is attacked, the Tang army in the county can also quickly go out of the city to rescue, and the defenders of this camp attack the enemy. If the Sui army attacked the dock first, the defenders could divide their forces to meet the enemy, while the Tang army in the county town could come out to protect the warehouse group.

Standing on a high place, Li Zhengbao could clearly see the huge warehouses of the camp, which stored 400,000 stone grain and hundreds of thousands of loads of forage of the Tang Army, as well as countless tents and ordnance.

He sighed slightly and shook his head, this camp is indeed comprehensive, but there is a big loophole in the arrangement of the Tang army, that is, the people who deploy the troops ignore the distance of seven or eight miles between the county town and the big camp, and the army in the city is a foot soldier, when they run here, they are already tired enough, it is good to be able to protect half of the combat strength, if the enemy who comes to attack is abundant, and even can hit him in an ambush on the way, when the troops are insufficient, you can also destroy the Tang army that comes to help first, by using a small group of soldiers to harass, At the same time, the defenders on both sides were alarmed, and the Tang army in the county town did not dare not come when they saw that there was movement here, so they were caught off guard by the ambush soldiers halfway, and the defenders on this side did not know how many people were coming to the enemy, how could they sit back and watch the food and grass and go to rescue the friendly army? They will only gather heavy troops to hold the warehouse county, and after the attacking enemy annihilates the reinforced army, they can dashing the other two parts of the word 'product' one by one, thus eating away at the strength, morale, and will to fight of the Tang army one by one!

If it was Li Zhengbao who came to deploy troops, he thought that he would arrange all the defenders of the county town to the corner of the warehouse group! Because compared to here, the county has no strategic value at all, and using 5,000 soldiers to defend it is purely a waste of manpower. There is never a perfect thing in the world, Zhang Liang pursues all aspects, but in fact, it is not enough, this is not to say that Zhang Liang is incompetent, but a lack of experience.

At this point, Li Zhengbao, who commanded the army instead of Luo Shixin, breathed a sigh of relief, this seemingly impregnable battalion seemed to have become full of loopholes.

At this time, there were several black shadows running at the foot of the mountain, which were specially ordered by a group of scouts to deliver the letter on the orders of Luo Shixin, who had gone deep into the enemy camp.

"General Li, the general has passed the thief army sentry post, and before leaving, the general has an explanation: as soon as General Li makes a move here, he will kill the enemy from the inside by surprise."

Li Zhengbao was overjoyed and resolutely ordered: "Pass the order, the whole army is ready to fight!" The main attack is on the junction of the garrison and the warehouse area. Remember, only the northern district can be burned in the grain and grass land. ”

From a tactical point of view, Luo Shixin and Li Zhengbao both wanted to completely destroy the Tang Army, which was important for grain and grass, but the two of them finally agreed to leave this warehouse group out of strategic considerations, only in this way can Li Shimin's army be contained in Hongnong, if there is no grain land, if it may exist' If the water attack fails, Li Shimin will inevitably attack Yang Shanhui's army violently with the momentum of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, and once Yang Shanhui learns of the existence of the embankment, he will inevitably retreat to a high place in a hurry, and this will give Li Shimin an opportunity to take advantage of all kinds of unfavorable situations, it is very likely that Li Shimin will succeed, and the existence of this grain land, Li Shimin's determination to die will not be so strong. Therefore, the two decided to annihilate the enemy's living forces, and the grain and grass in the camp were not important.

This is also the difference between the commander and the general, for the general, you only need to obey the boss's arrangement, completely your own task; Those who are handsome need to consider the whole picture, and if the details of the task are not well considered, they can lose all the games.

Zhang Liang is undoubtedly the mentality of a general, his obvious task is to hold everything in the Lu clan at the same time, but also to ensure a smooth road for the evacuation of the army, so he is deployed step by step according to the task; And Luo Shixin received the order to destroy everything, but he and Li Zhengbao were able to adjust Yang Tong's orders according to the current situation, and the effect was undoubtedly better than Yang Dong's arrangement......

"Whoa!" The messenger hurried away.

Li Zhengbao said again: "General Xin Fang'er! ”

The sturdy Xin Fang'er stepped forward energetically: "The last general!" ”

"I'll give you 5,000 elite soldiers, and you must annihilate the enemy who comes to the county to help."

The Lu Tang army had 15,000 troops, and the Sui army had a total of 20,000 people, so if he Li Zhengbao put all the 20,000 troops into the battle of the camp, he would be too careful and underestimate the combat power of the Sui army, so he decided to settle the battle in one battle and finish the battle in one battle, so as to save more time. And this is an adjustment made by Li Zhengbao for the combat strength of the second army of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, which is different from the previous setting, he has now taken over the baton from Luo Shixin and has this decision-making power.

"Whoa!" Xin Fang'er retreated excitedly, both from Liang Shidu's command, Li Zhengbao has the ability to fight; And Xin Fang'er is a brave warrior, which is commonly said to be a brain muscle.

Li Zhengbao's calm atmosphere can make up for Luo Shixin's lack of strategy and impulsiveness; Xin Fang'er can play the fierce role of Luo Shixin, although not as fierce as Luo Shixin, but there is such a tiger general to charge into battle, which also makes Luo Shixin himself when it is not suitable to go forward to fight, his fierce combat style can be guaranteed.

It can be said that the core teams of the various armies of the Great Sui were all carefully considered by Yang Tong and the servants and scholars of the three provinces and the scholars, and they were put together after several discussions.

——————————————————————

As usual, a group of Tang soldiers patrolled along the western fence, which was close to a jungle hill, which was one of the key points of the Tang army's defense.

First of all, the three brigades were dutiful, but in the nearly a month they were stationed, the entire Lu clan did not find the Sui army, and in private, the soldiers thought that Changyuan County was the first target of the Sui army, so they slowly slacked off.

Just as the patrol was talking and walking to the middle watchtower, a cold arrow suddenly shot from the mountain, and the sentry on the watchtower was in the middle, and the sentry rolled down from it with his chest covered.

The heavy sound of falling to the ground alarmed the soldiers patrolling below, they were the elite soldiers sent by Zhang Liang, although they were slack, but the quality of the veterans showed at this moment, they did not scatter in fright, but quickly formed a formation to assemble in the direction of the guard tower, preparing to cover the team is ascending the tower. However, the Sui army, which sneaked to the left, obviously would not give them a chance to ring the bell to warn, just there

Just when they were still dozens of feet away from the watchtower, they were accompanied by ' The sound of the explosion, a crossbow arrow with a blue faint poisonous light under the moonlight swept over, the Tang soldiers suddenly wailed, and fell to the ground with arrows, the Tang soldiers in front of them had the help of the comrades behind them, and temporarily escaped, but the sudden change also made them lose their minds for a moment, and when they remembered to raise their shields and arrows, a rain of arrows came again, poisoning most of the survivors, resulting in a complete brigade of 100 people, only a dozen people escaped by chance.

"Enemy attack! Enemies are coming! ”

The soldiers of the Tang Army shouted while running wildly: "Strike the bell to warn!" ”

"Dangdang, dang!" Under the hoarse shouts of the soldiers, the alarm bell of the guard tower finally rang, and the crisp and rapid bell sounded under the night sky, and the sound spread throughout the battalion, only for a moment, the quiet Tang army camp seemed to be 'alive', and the noise, shouting, and footsteps tore through the silence of the night.

Between the camp and the reservoir area, Zhang Liang arranged for 1,000 Tang Army soldiers to be closest to the place where the incident occurred.

The Sui army, which had already succeeded, threw out the rope, and after the rope was firmly tied to the fence, they quickly retreated, and countless war horses retreated together, only to hear the loud sound of "boom", and the camp fence was pulled down a large area, and a gap of five zhang wide appeared, and the other team of Sui troops followed the style and pulled down the second camp fence.

Another 500 Sui soldiers who had been prepared for a long time filled the trench with sandbags, and the area where the thistle was buried on the wooden planks, and the 1,000 elite cavalry led by the general Yingyanglang (the main general of the Thousand People's Guard) entered the warehouse, and at this time, the Tang soldiers killed from all directions.

"Formation!"

The cavalry was quickly divided into ten squads, each team of 100 people, the soldiers held war lances, crossbows, and urged the horses to kill forward with the momentum of arrows, the Sui soldiers were brave and abnormal, they cooperated tacitly, skillfully played the advantage of the cavalry, and reversed the situation in a moment, killing a thousand Tang soldiers all over the place, and fled in embarrassment.

And the Sui army that responded continued to kill in, expanding the gap.

At this time, some soldiers lit the fire stick in their hands, their fire stick is soaked in oil linen cloth and sulfur powder together with the dry bamboo tube stuffed into the dry bamboo tube, and then wrapped in oil paper, this kind of fire stick is a little bit, and can burn quickly, is an excellent fire thing, the Sui army is a person. They threw their lit fire sticks into a hay-filled warehouse, and the soldiers followed suit, setting fire to more than twenty warehouses in no time.

After burning the warehouse in the northern area according to the order, they turned their horses around and killed them in the camp of the Tang army's garrison.

The sound of alarm bells and billowing smoke in the warehouse alarmed the Don troops in the camp two miles away. But Zhang Liang, the chief general of the Tang Army, was wearing a Taoist robe, thin-soled cloth shoes, and unarmed at this time, and was respectfully waiting for the arrival of Zongyang Daoist on the passage a mile away from the Chinese army's big tent. ”

Zhang Liang ordered in a loud voice: "Gather the whole army!" Meet the enemy now. ”
