The time gradually came to noon, more than 20,000 Tang troops who jumped out of the encirclement of the Sui army marched in a line on a deserted mountain road, Li Xiaogong walked in the middle of the team, he had many dealings with the Sui army, and had a better understanding of the combat style of the Sui Dynasty.

This is Yang Tong's concept of the world as a human king, he hopes to try to be as young and strong as possible in the war, although Li Xiaogong himself agrees with this concept, but the enemy and us are a life-and-death contest, Li Xiaogong as a general of the Tang Dynasty, it is his bounden duty to kill and injure the enemy to the greatest extent, but whenever there is a chance to win, he will never let go of the opportunity to annihilate the ten strong soldiers of the Sui Dynasty. Mainly because

The Tang Dynasty was weak and could not consider the future from the height of war and reconstruction, let alone tolerate the enemy when it was certain to win, and the problem they were now considering was to slaughter the Sui army as much as possible, in order to lower its national strength.

Li Xiaogong comprehended Yang Tong's current concept of civil war, so although he jumped out of the encirclement, he did not dare to be careless, and was very cautious to send scouts to investigate in the front.

At this moment, several scouts rushed to the scene, shouting from afar: "Stop, stop marching." ”

Li Xiaogong was taken aback and ordered: "Stop marching!" ”

The scout rushed over angrily and reported: "Your Highness, the scout in front has found the cavalry of the Sui army five miles away, and they are approaching us. ”

Li Xiaogong's heart sank, his worst fear still came, the Sui army really set up an ambush in front, he tried his best to calm down, and quickly asked: "How many people are there in the enemy army?" Who will the Lord be? ”

The scout hurriedly said: "I don't know the exact number, only one of the scouts who went to investigate escaped back, he was hit by three arrows, and he was seriously injured and died. ”

"Luo Zi Battle Flag?"

Hearing these four words, Li Xiaogong couldn't help but let out a muffled snort? The Sui army only had one general surnamed Luo? Who else could it be besides his old rival Luo Shixin?

He quickly surveyed the terrain and saw that they were entering a relatively wide valley road? The valley road is about three miles wide? It is more than ten miles long, and the mountains on both sides are steep and steep? Overgrown with dense bushes, this terrain is not conducive to ambushes? But it is the chosen place for cavalry to gallop. But the ambush ahead has already appeared? It won't be long before it will be killed, and Li Xiaogong can't care about this, so he ordered: "Order the front army to converge with the rear army." ”

This is the most effective strategy for coping with an ambush, due to the elongation of the marching ranks? Once in an ambush, he was cut into several pieces? As a result, an unfavorable situation was formed, and in the end, the fate of the entire army could not be escaped. Therefore, if the ambush is found in advance, the best strategy is to quickly assemble and line up the elongated team, even if the ambush is killed, it is not afraid. But as soon as he spoke? There were already rumbling horses' hooves and shouts of killing in front of them, this was the Sui army ambush soldiers who found that they had been detected by the enemy? simply rebelled against the guest and stepped forward for the main killing.

Li Xiaogong shouted: "The front army will give way to both sides, and the rear army will assemble to meet it!" ”

In fact, he doesn't need to give orders? The soldiers of the Tang Army have already turned around and rushed towards the outside of the valley? And in the midst of noise and chaos? Li Xiaogong heard a strange sound? It was as dense as a drumbeat, but it was muffled by the sound of the ambush's horses' hooves and shouts of killing, as well as its own shouts.

Li Xiaogong listened attentively for a while, and suddenly his face changed and he shouted: "It's not good, I'm fooled." ”

He could tell that the strange sound was the sound of horses' hooves, perhaps because their horses' hooves were wrapped in thick cloth, so the sound of running was relatively low, but it was extremely numerous.

Li Xiaogong realized that he had fallen into the trap of the Sui army again, and the so-called ambush was just a decoy, so he deliberately showed his troops, so that he instinctively gathered troops, and then took advantage of the chaos of the Tang army itself to concentrate on killing.

But at this time, it was too late to react, the Sui cavalry had already killed five hundred paces away, the black pressure of the war horse was like a wild wave, the dust stirred up covered the sky and the sun, the Sui cavalry held their shields high, controlled the horse with both legs, and held the spear tightly with the other hand, the tip of the spear flashed in the sun.

Li Xiaogong knew that once the cavalry was launched at full speed, they could not stop, and they could only move forward to destroy the enemy troops in front of them. He could only sacrifice the front army now, hoping that the chaotic front army could hinder the assault of the Sui cavalry and buy precious time for the rear army to assemble.

Li Xiaogong only ran out of dozens of steps, then heard a terrible scream behind him, thousands of soldiers in front of him have been swept under the iron hooves, the spears in the hands of the Sui army stabbed, pierced the enemy's chest, the war knife like lightning to split the enemy's head, under the iron hooves of the war horse, the Tang soldiers wailed and fell to the ground, for a time the blood mist was filled, the limbs flew sideways, and the cries and screams resounded throughout this valley.

Although the soldiers of the Tang Army were also desperately resisting, they encountered the main battle elite cavalry of the Sui Army. These soldiers have been in a hundred battles, have been completely separated from the farmland, exist for war, not only well-equipped, combat power, fighting spirit is not the Tang army of wartime for soldiers and idle time for agriculture can be defeated, less than a moment or so, the marching fatigue of the Tang army was divided into dozens of pieces, the formation was rushed to pieces.

The cavalry of the Sui army left only 5,000 men to deal with the Tang army's chaotic troops, and the remaining 15,000 cavalry continued to rush forward under the leadership of the commander Luo Shixin, overwhelmingly killing the Tang army's rear army, which was still in chaos.

This was not only a contest between two different arms, but also a battle between the commanders of the two armies, and Li Xiaogong tried to let the rebellious soldiers contain the Sui cavalry and give him time to reorganize his troops and horses. But Luo Shixin saw that the Tang army was not ready, and he knew very well how chaotic an army would be when faced with a sudden battle if it was not strictly trained.

Especially the Tang army has just escaped at this time, not only is it in the most relaxed time, but also very tired, and now it is suddenly attacked, it is good that it has not collapsed, and if you want them to return to the strict order of the team in a very short time, more than 100 people may be able to, but an army of tens of thousands of people is definitely not good.

This is an artificially created enemy-breaking fighter, and it is also this fighter that Luo Shixin wants to capture.

At this moment, more than 10,000 elite cavalry of the Sui army were divided into two, penetrating the enemy's chaotic troops from both sides, and directly taking the rear army of the Tang army hundreds of paces away.

When Li Xiaogong took a breath and looked at the battle formation again, he felt that it was dark in front of him, and the battle formation, which was not close at all, had been rushed by the Sui cavalry to the verge of collapse in just a moment.

"Kill~"

Luo Shixin once again rushed into the enemy formation with the elite troops, flicked the spear in his hand, and threw a rattan shield away, and the huge force knocked the Tang soldier out, instantly knocked down a piece of Tang army, the morale of the Sui army was even stronger, and in the tsunami-like shouting of killing, the Tang army's military formation was finally broken, and more and more Sui troops poured into the crack torn by Luo Shixin, and the originally intact formation was shattered.

For an army, the most terrible thing is not how strong the enemy is, but the shaking of one's own morale and loss of fighting spirit, once a soldier loses his mind and someone takes the lead in fleeing, then he is the leader of the flock, which will quickly spread throughout the whole army, so that the fighting spirit and morale of the whole army will collapse.

These two Sui cavalry launched a fierce attack, the panicked and incomplete Tang army faced the murderous enemy, the embankment of the heart had collapsed, and seeing that the Sui army was like a rainbow and could not match, the Tang soldiers began to desert in extreme panic and fear.

A belt of ten, ten with hundreds, a hundred and a thousand people, the wave of flight began to spread like a snowball, spreading throughout the army.

Because of the relationship between being in the rear, Wu Shitong noticed that something was wrong for the first time, and when he looked back, he saw that Li Xiaogong was in an extremely dangerous situation, and immediately had no intention of fighting, and quickly commanded a relatively complete phalanx of pro-soldiers to retreat to Li Xiaogong's side.

"Shi Tong, save Sichang!" Li Xiaogong saw that the general trend had gone, and he was going to break through and leave, but when he saw Chai Shao in the enemy's formation, he suddenly felt anxious in his heart, and said to Chai Shao who rushed over.

Wu Shi Tong nodded and wanted to rush forward, but Chai Shao's phalanx had been surrounded by the Sui army, and he had already laid out a heavy defensive line to prevent the Tang army from breaking the formation and saving people.

"Kill!"

Wu Shi Tong is also a fierce general, he immediately killed it, the ancient moon broadsword in his hand swept a cloud of swords, and the three elite horsemen were cut off the horse, but at this time, there was an indescribable sense of weakness that made Wu Shi Tong move, Feng Yang Shanhui came to fight together Xie Yingdeng saw this, and immediately forced up, brandishing a golden black flower spear to attack Wu Shi Tong.

Although Wu Shi Tong is a blatant member, he is not Xie Yingdeng's opponent in his own right, and he is in charge of the logistics of the Tang Army these days, and he has been working hard all the time, and he has not been able to get a good rest, and he is already out of breath after trying to resist a few times.

"Hey, there's even a general?" Xie Yingdeng was surprised to notice that the strength of the warrior Tong was good, and he was immediately interested, and he couldn't help laughing, and attacked more urgently.

"Shi Tong, don't care about me, escort His Highness and leave quickly, he will avenge me again in the future!" Chai Shao shuttled through the crowd at this time, and wherever he passed, the Sui army fell to the ground one after another, but the Sui army seemed to be endless and poured in from all directions, unless Chai Shao could fly, he didn't want to escape.

The samurai turned his head to look, but saw that the army had been completely defeated, and Li Xiaogong was under the protection of Li Chuan and more than a thousand soldiers of his lineage, and the situation was precarious. What's even worse is that Luo Shixin led an elite army to kill there like cutting through the wind and waves.

On one side is the boss who still has hope of escaping, Jing King Li Xiaogong, and on the other side is the horse Chai Shao who is in a desperate situation, the warrior Tong gritted his teeth, shook the big knife suddenly, and slashed at Xie Yingdeng's BMW, taking advantage of the moment when Xie Yingdeng hurriedly set up the big knife, the warrior Tong rushed back.

"Where's Sichang?" Li Xiaogong saw that the warrior Tong returned alone, but there was no trace of Chai Shao, and he was very anxious.

Wu Shi Tong didn't answer, and said to Li Chuan: "Go!" ”

"Shi Tong, Li Chuan, don't take care of me, go and save Sichang!" Li Xiaogong was furious, and in a muffled sound of "bang~", the samurai knocked Li Xiaogong unconscious with a hand knife.

"Ying Guogong, you ......" Li Chuan and the other guards were furious when they saw this, and they all glared at the warrior Tong.

"Wait until you immediately protect Your Highness and retreat!" The warrior looked in the direction of Chai Shao.

"What about you, General?" Li Chuan felt a little inappropriate and hurriedly asked.

"I ...... Naturally"

Before the samurai Tong's words fell, there was another muffled "bang", and this time he was knocked unconscious by Li Chuan.

"General Wu wants to save the horse, but the horse is now under siege, and if he goes, he will die! My martial arts are no worse than those of General Wu, and I am responsible for this heavy responsibility. Li Chuan took a deep breath, "For the sake of today's plan, you should escort His Highness and General Wu to retreat to Xiangyang as soon as possible!" ”

The guards couldn't help but be silent, although they were very depressed, but now that the situation is now, it is impossible to save Chai Shao, and the samurai is physically exhausted, so there is no difference between forcibly killing and sending him to death.

Everyone nodded silently, and took this personal guard to protect Li Xiaogong and the samurai Tong and fled in battle.

。。。

However, Xie Yingdeng saw Li Chuan killing, a touch of murder flashed in his eyes, he took off the big bow, pulled out two iron arrows from the quiver, and slowly pulled the bowstring away, aiming at Li Chuan is arrow.

"Villain." Li Chuan was furious, and slashed at the trajectory of the arrow.

However, at this moment, Xie Yingdeng's bow was full of arrows, and this arrow was as fast as thunder, and it hit the tail of the arrow in front of him, and by this impact, the arrow in front suddenly accelerated, and a "poof" sound penetrated Li Chuan's throat. And the war knife in Li Chuan's hand struck the arrow behind with a 'dang'.

His body was still running forward, but his body stiffened, and he slowly lowered his head, looking at the extra arrows in his throat in disbelief, blood dripping down the shaft of the arrow, and the strength of his whole body continued to disappear like a tide with the loss of blood.

"Good archery. ~" Feeling the loss of life, Li Chuan tried to make a sentence and fell to the ground with a bang.

"Let me come." Xie Yingdeng withdrew his bow and arrows, dismounted from the path that the soldiers gave way to, and killed Chai Shao.

Chai Shao has already killed his red eyes at the moment, and there are constantly soldiers falling off the horse, and there are fewer and fewer around him, seeing Xie Yingdeng entering, he knows that killing this person is worth it. With a swing of the war knife in his hand, a spear stabbed towards Xie Yingdeng's throat.

"Good!" Xie Yingdeng's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise and cheer, the connoisseur knew if there was one as soon as he made a move, Xie Yingdeng had been a general in the Great Sui for many years, and Pingli had also fought with Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Wei Chigong, and Pei Xingyan, his martial arts had made great progress compared to the beginning, Chai Shao's desperate knife was quite spicy, Xie Yingdeng saw that he was happy, and the war knife in his hand flipped over, set up Chai Shao's battle, and cut it down with a knife.

Chai Shao parried with a horizontal knife, but saw Xie Yingdeng sliding the knife and cutting Chai Shao's five fingers horizontally, Chai Shao hurriedly recovered the war knife, and after avoiding a knife, he raised a knife horizontally and slashed at Xie Yingdeng's waist.

'Dang' was knocked open by Xie Yingdeng, and the war knife stabbed back, almost stabbing Chai Shao's throat, although he dodged this knife, but seeing that the opponent's war knife was coming, Chai Shao struggled to support more than 30 He and gradually lost the enemy.

"Chai Shao give up, you have already lost." Xie Yingdeng did not advance, but looked at Chai Shao, who was staggering backwards, and said, "If you are willing to surrender, at least spend this life safely." ”

"Hahaha~" Chai Shao couldn't help but let out a desolate laugh, and laughed loudly: "Manly man, it's just death." Why bother talking nonsense, today there is only Chai Shao who died in battle, and there is no one who will steal his life! ”

"Well said!" In a loud cheer, he saw that the surrounding Sui army quickly made way of a passage, and Luo Shixin, who was covered in blood, stepped forward, at this time, the general situation was in hand, the Tang army was defeated, and the rest was the matter of the soldiers, he saw Xie Yingdeng and Chai Shao fighting alone from a distance, so he came to watch.

"Chai Shao, although we are hostile, you are a man, I Luo Shixin admires you!" Luo Shixin bowed to Chai Shao.

Chai Shao sneered: "Luo Shixin, will your Sui Dynasty only use this despicable means to break the enemy?" ”

"When the two armies clash, they will naturally do everything!" Luo Shixin said lightly: "Our army has many generals, strong soldiers and strong horses, and has taken advantage of the time, place and people, but we don't want to be ruined, so we have been confronting you for more than a month, and if we really want to annihilate you, it is your more than 100,000 army, that is, the pseudo-Tang Dynasty has been destroyed countless times." Surrender, and I'll convince the Holy One to spare your life. ”

"Do you think I, Chai Shao, am a capricious villain?" Chai Shao smiled miserably, put the war knife between his neck, and pulled the handle of the knife suddenly, and his body fell down violently.

"It's a man, it's a pity!" Xie Yingdeng glanced at Chai Shao's corpse, shook his head and sighed.

Luo Shixin nodded, Li Xiaogong fled, which made Luo Shixin a little disappointed, but it didn't matter, after this battle, the Tang Army in Jingzhou had been abolished, and the pressure on recovering Jingbei and Yizhou was reduced, not to mention killing a general like Chai Shao? Overall, the purpose of this battle has been achieved, and even if Li Xiaogong is ten thousand times more powerful, he will not be able to save the precarious pseudo-Tang Dynasty.

He said to several remnants of the Tang Army soldiers: "I won't kill you, you can take Chai Shao back to Xiangyang." ”

"Thank you, General!" A group of Chai Shao's guards bowed and replied.
