The Sui army approached Qingliu County, Jiangdu, 60,000 troops set up a large camp in the flat open area, Du Fuwei arranged the camp meticulously according to Yang Tong's requirements, not only set up the camp fence, but also dug a trench in front of the camp, in the camp, a high sentry tower was erected every fifty steps, and a dense anti-horse gun was inserted behind the trench to prevent the enemy cavalry from breaking through the camp.

Thousands of large tents are stationed according to the five armies, divided by five poles of various colors, and in the middle is the "Sui" character flag, and the "Du" character handsome flag on behalf of Du Fuwei.

The camp tents are neatly and orderly, the sidewalks and horse walkways are clearly distinguished, and each battalion has a captain to lead the army to patrol, and they rotate in two shifts, and every detail is meticulous.

This is also the reason for the many generals of the Great Sui Dynasty, from the beginning of the founding of the country, Yang Su, Yang Shuang, the king of Wei and other famous marshals of the Great Sui Dynasty governed the army very strictly, and rewarded the generals under their command and punished them heavily, so that every military order imperceptibly affected the generals under their command, so as to promote more famous generals to grow from it.

Although Yang Tong is not a famous marshal or a famous general, he also knows the importance of the safety of the nest, so he pays special attention to the safety of the military camp every time he marches.

On this day, there is breakfast.

Yang Tong took Du Fuwei as the main general, Kan Ling and Wang Xiong as deputy generals; Xue Wanbei led the Xiaoguo Army as a wing, responsible for striking at the enemy rangers, protecting the safety of the left and right flanks of the main attacking army, while he himself led the Xuanjia Army as a backup, plus the 5,000 death squads under the care of Mai Mengcai, a total of 50,000 people, and drove towards the Wei army camp.

The camp of the Wei army is stuck on the way to Jiangdu, and the competition for it at this time has been related to the entire battle situation in the south of the Great Sui, if it is stuck here, Li Mi will be able to smoothly reorganize the army and fight again, and even calmly withdraw to Huaibei, and his own army will take at least four or five days to detour to Jiangdu, and in these few days, anything will happen.

The key is that this military camp is stuck at the intersection of Jiangdu, Liyang, and Lujiang counties, once the detour goes straight to Jiangdu, not only the back road is copied, but the Wei army may also enter Liyang and Lujiang from here, the main force of the Jianghuai land is Du Fuwei's eleventh army, and now all of them have been brought here, resulting in an empty internal force, if Li Mi captures Liyang and Lujiang, and then has a little more courage, he will throw down the Jiangdu City, go all out to the west, and Li Tang Lian as a whole, and connect into an offensive and defensive alliance that goes hand in hand. This will be much more difficult than annihilating them one by one.

Another reason is that the end of the year is approaching, the monarchs, chiefs, and envoy representatives of various countries have flocked to the Great Sui, some of the close ones have arrived in Luoyang, and Yang Tong can stay in Jianghuai for not much time, so before leaving, he must help Du Fuwei break this camp, as long as he lays down this military camp, he can quickly burn the war to Jiangdu, and contain Li Mi's army here, so as to provide Yang Gongren with a chance to win. Destroy the land of Jianghuai and connect with Li Yuan.

In the Wei army camp, Shan Xiongxin soon received the news that the Sui army was sending troops, and couldn't help but take a deep breath, gave the order to prepare for battle, and then climbed onto the lookout to command the sergeants to fight.

This time, he is facing an enemy army that is nearly twice as large as his own, and he still has 20,000 heavy soldiers to make up for it, although he is not a new soldier, but his combat power is far inferior to a well-trained army, so his biggest reliance now is this camp, although he has some understanding of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array, but whether it is really as wonderful as Fang Xuanzao said, it still needs to be tested by war.

Looking at the neat teams of Sui troops in front of the camp and the three superb cavalry, Shan Xiongxin's eyes became more and more solemn, and he didn't have much confidence in his heart.

Although the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array is wonderful, its effect is unknown; And it can't change his weakness in terms of strength, combat power, will, etc., when the quality of individual soldiers is inferior to that of the enemy, it seems that the thing that wins more with less with a dead formation seems to only happen in legends.

Moreover, the battle for the faction is different from the battle for the city, it has neither a moat nor a tall and strong wall to defend the soldiers, and it is really difficult to rely on weak troops, low morale, and a dead formation to defend against an enemy army twice as large as its own and a great victory.

But the matter has come to this, no matter how difficult it is for him, he must hold this big camp, Liyang County has been lost, if even this place is lost, then next, the Sui army will enter Jiangdu County in a big way, and then stagger the heavily guarded Qingliu County, go straight to Jiangducheng, and use the mobile advantage of cavalry to annihilate all kinds of reinforcements, more importantly, Jiangdu City is the concentration of the families of the soldiers in front, if you let the Huaibei soldiers know that Jiangdu is trapped, I am afraid that the army will be in turmoil, causing a complete collapse of the front-line army. Therefore, the stakes of this battalion are very important, and there is no room for error.

And his other reliance is the narrowness of the territory in front of him, the other party can't put 50,000 troops on the battlefield at one time, he may be able to maneuver one or two with the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array.

……

At this time, Yang Tong silently glanced at the Wei Army watchtower with the banner unfurled, and coldly gave an order, "Let him kill five thousand prisoners." ”

'Woo-woo-woo! ’

The Sui army array sounded a low horn sound.

Mai Mengcai, who received the order, immediately ordered, "Bring the master of those prisoners up." ”

In addition to the traitors of the Xiaoguo Army, he also selected young and strong men from among the captives, formed a death squad of 5,000 people, and appointed some commanders.

After a while, a hundred men in shackles were brought up, and Mai Mengcai said to them: "Now is your chance to live, opposite is the Wei army camp, I don't care what method you use, as long as you rush into the enemy camp, I will pardon your capital crimes, let you go home, and give you the status of a common man." ”

These 100 people were originally serving as middle-level military attachés in the Wei army, and they had strong organizational skills, and they were selected by Mai Mengcai to be the leader of the death squad, and each of them managed 50 people who dared to die, and they did a good job.

When everyone heard Mai Mengcai's words, they all became excited, and they bowed down together and agreed, "I am willing to serve the general!" ”

The Sui army stepped forward to unshackle them and issued them weapons and equipment that had been seized from the Wei army.

"Let's get back!" Mai Mengcai looked at these people with cold eyes, and said lightly: "After the three drums, you will immediately lead the army to attack, whether you can get the opportunity to atone for your sins depends on your own performance." ”

"Whoa!" In order to survive, these 100 people returned to their respective teams.

'Boom! Boom! Boom! ’

After the death squad was in place, the huge leather drum suddenly sounded, and the five thousand death squad shouted, and they slowly pressed up to the Wei camp with a simple shield like a stormy wave.

"Xiu Xiu~"

The dense sound of breaking the air became one, and the arrows that broke through the air continued to shoot on the shields of the daredevils, and some of the unlucky dead soldiers were planted with arrows, and were soon trampled by the subsequent robes to a blur of flesh and blood. In just an instant, in this dense formation, only a scream and wail were heard, and a piece of soldiers fell to the ground. However, the death of his companions did not make people fearful, but inspired the anger and anger of these people who dared to die, and they were all fearless of death, and rushed towards the Wei army camp frantically.

After several rounds of baptism of arrow rain, the remaining daredevils finally rushed to the front of the Wei army camp, braved the rain of arrows, pushed to the horse rejection gun, and fought with the Wei army.

The battle has shown a white heat, the Wei soldiers shoot with arrows, stab with spears, groups of daredevils are shot to death, pierced, but new daredevils rush up, and in the rear, the arrows of the Sui soldiers are overwhelmingly shot at the Wei camp, and the Wei soldiers continue to fall with arrows, and the Wei army in the main direction of attack is quickly suppressed and can't raise its head.

The death squads in front of them began to attack the wall, but if you look closely, you will find that many people are squeezed into the gap between the wall.

These gaps are only for two people in parallel, but if you go deeper into them, you will find that these narrow passages are deep and long, and they do not stretch straight forward, but winding paths, and in the end, even the shouts of killing outside do not seem to be heard much.

In the depths of the passage, unlike the flat wall outside, the inner wall is covered with sharpened inverted vertical wooden thorns, each of which is more than a foot long, and the slightest carelessness will be injured by the wooden thorns.

At first, the death squads who went deep into it were able to keep a certain distance and advance as they slashed, but as more and more people crowded, the space for them to move became smaller and smaller.

Someone wanted to climb up by the wooden thorns, but the top was suddenly blocked by people with wooden boards, and below the wooden boards, there were also upside-down wooden thorns, some people saw the danger, and frantically cut off all the wooden thorns in their sight, but as more and more people squeezed in, spears were pierced out of the cracks in the wall, and the soldiers of the death squad who were tightly packed together couldn't move, and they didn't even have room to dodge, only watching their bodies being pierced by sharp blades, and let out a terrible wail!

"Let me out! I'm going to surrender."

"I'm also Wei Jun! Please... Let me out..."

Under the threat of death, some people shouted frantically, some people wanted to squeeze out, and the unknown people outside were still being squeezed in, they kept squeezing forward, they couldn't stop pushing forward, and some people who lost their minds here began to be frantic and danced butcher knives directly at their own people. Blood soon stained the ground red, and a thick smell of blood continued to emanate from the sturdy partitions.

The watchtower's Shangshan Xiongxin could clearly feel the wonder of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation, although the pressure on the frontal battlefield was not small, but since these 'Sui troops' attacked the camp, none of their soldiers were killed, not even slightly injured.

And the crux of the problem lies in the gaps that were opened by Fang Xuanzao, and those gaps, like the bloody mouths of fierce beasts, constantly devoured the lives of the soldiers of the 'Sui Army', and constantly undertook the pressure on the frontal battlefield.

"I didn't expect this gap to seem inconspicuous, but it still hides such a miraculous effect!" Shan Xiongxin couldn't help but praise loudly.

The passages of the Chen camp are all arranged according to the eight golden lock arrays, the interior is nine curves and eighteen bends, and the deepest scene is not seen by the people outside at all, and therefore, the 'Sui army' is still unknown, thinking that it occupies the camp, so it is as if they are squeezing in a steady stream of people, and their 'ignorance' not only causes the soldiers who walk in front to be unable to calmly cut off the wooden thorns, but also squeezes them into a desperate situation, so these bends and eight damages of the passage seem to be harmless to people and animals, but in fact they are full of murderous opportunities, as long as they enter, regardless of people and animals, they will definitely die.

He has personally watched Fang Xuanzao arrange them one by one these days, and naturally knows the killing machine inside, and at this time, seeing more and more people being squeezed into the passage, even if he doesn't have to witness it with his own eyes, he can feel the scene inside from the terrible screams.

Thinking of that scene, even as an enemy, Shan Xiongxin couldn't help but twitch in his heart, these soldiers of the 'Sui Army' who were squeezed into the passage did not play a single role, did not cause a little minor injury to the Wei army, and died here worthless and meaningless.

But for Shan Xiongxin, it was precisely because these people were shunted into one passage after another that the pressure on the frontal battlefield was greatly reduced, and the attack of the 5,000-strong army failed to shake the Wei army camp in the slightest, but because a large number of enemy troops were 'killed' into the battle, the attack of the 'Sui army' on the frontal battlefield became weak.

……

The Sui army was in a large array, and Du Fuwei saw that the five thousand dead soldiers had a fierce battle in front of the camp, and after entering the Wei army camp, he wanted to order the Sui army to carry out a second round of attacks to tear open the gap in the front of the enemy camp, but before he could give the order, Yang Tong stopped it.

"Holy Lord, the defense in front of the Wei army camp has been captured, and it is the time to stop the attack?" Du Fuwei looked at Yang Tong puzzled

"Have you forgotten that this is a formation?" Yang Tong glanced at him angrily, and the big camp in front of him with a solemn face, said in a deep voice: "I have been paying attention, and found that among the five thousand people, at least half of them have entered, it stands to reason that even if you can't break through the opponent's camp, thank you will have some effect, but so far, no one has attacked the wall!" And ......"

Yang Tong whipped in the direction of the camp and said, "Before you look at the barracks again, how many people are left now?" ”

"This ......"

Being reminded by Yang Tong like this, Du Fuwei immediately looked at the brave soldiers in front of the camp seriously, their formation was disrupted, but with many years of combat experience, he was still able to estimate an approximate value, which took a closer look, and his complexion changed greatly.

"Less than a thousand." Du Fuwei, who said this, was taken aback.

Yang Tong said with a solemn expression: "In a general battle, because of the narrowness of the battle point, the troops cannot be attacked at the same time, so even if the battle situation is fierce for a day, the attacking side may lose less than 5,000 people." But now, in less than an hour, the 5,000 men are almost finished. The rate of casualties was simply appalling, and more importantly, there were not many corpses left in front of the battalion, indicating that most of them had entered, but the current Wei army was very quiet, and there was no sign of fighting at all. ”

After a while, all the death squads outside also entered!

And then!

The sound of the fight abruptly stopped, replaced by a dead silence.

In less than an hour, all 5,000 were gone.

Yang Qinfang, Yin Mingyue, Du Fuwei and other generals were dumbfounded, almost unable to believe their eyes,

"This ......" Everyone had a creepy feeling in their hearts, and they felt as if the camp in front of them was going to eat people.

Yang Tong looked at the misty Wei army camp, and also felt that his heart was furious, and after a long time, he took a deep breath and said: "This camp is too weird, before we find out the truth, we will only increase the casualties by blindly increasing our troops, this is exactly the enemy's trick, Mingjin withdraws the troops!" ”

"Whoa!" Du Fuwei didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

"Bell! Clang! Clang! ”

In the crisp and loud sound of gold, the Sui army slowly retreated.

Shan Xiongxin on the watchtower saw that the Sui army was stable and not chaotic, and there were more than 10,000 elite horsemen cruising on both sides, so he could only press the idea of attacking.

Fang Xuanzao, who had already climbed the watchtower to watch, looked at the battle flag with the word 'Sui', sighed, and said to Shan Xiongxin: "General, I didn't expect the other party to find out so quickly, after the Sui army became vigilant, it will definitely be impossible for us to kill more people with the camp next time." ”

Shan Xiongxin nodded silently, his eyes flashed a cold color in his eyes as he looked at the struggling 'Sui Jun' below, waved the command flag in his hand, and said fiercely: "Nailing the passage!" ”

"Whoa!"

More than a dozen strong men guarding the entrance of the passage pushed out a heavy wooden plank, on which was inserted a sharp gun blade, like a barb, when the wooden board slowly closed the entrance of the passage, someone carried a hammer to hit the wooden plank fiercely, and the blade on it pierced into the wall little by little.

In the midst of screams, rage, roars, and begs for mercy, blood slowly flowed out of the cracks in the wall, and the whole camp looked as if it had become a bloody hell, and the same scene was played out all over the barracks, and those who had just fallen into the battle would nail the blade of a spear from the wall into the passage before they even understood what was going on.

"Immediately open the wall, drag these corpses out, and burn them on the spot! Then restore the passage as soon as possible. Fang Xuanzao shouted in a deep voice.

"Whoa!"

The Wei soldiers received the order and quickly moved.

One by one they were particularly excited, for them, it was an effortless war, but it was a brilliant result.

But Fang Xuanzao and Shan Xiongxin were not happy, they had great hopes for this camp, and they thought that they could eat tens of thousands of Sui troops, but the other party was too vigilant.

What made the two even more speechless was that judging from the equipment of the people who rushed to the camp, these should be the Wei soldiers who were captured by the Sui army, but the Sui army was not damaged. But the two also knew that their army needed a victory to boost morale, so they could only hide the truth in their hearts.

This is also the reason why Shan Xiongxin did not leave a living mouth, if the soldiers knew that it was 'their own people' who died, it would inevitably cause great turmoil, so he did not do anything to wipe it out, so that the soldiers could enjoy the joy of the brilliant victory with peace of mind.
