At night, Li Wujun led 20,000 troops to arrive about thirty miles away from Yongnian County, a small river in front blocked the way, at this time there was a faint sound of dense horses' hooves in front, Li Wujun waved his hand to signal the whole army to pause, and said to the general Dong Yue: "Bow and crossbow block the wooden bridge!" ”

Dong Yue immediately led 3,000 soldiers to squat down by the bridge with crossbow arrows in hand, and raised their crossbows to aim at the opposite bank.

Not long after, someone on the other side shouted: "Lord Wang, it's us!" ”

It was the voice of his cavalry leader Yang Zhanlin, it turned out to be his own cavalry back, and Li Wujun immediately ordered: "Withdraw the crossbowmen!" ”

The crossbowmen retreated, and after a while, three thousand cavalry came from the bridge, and Yang Zhanlin urged him to step forward and salute: "Lord Qiqi, General Han does not allow us to enter the city, and we have no choice but to return." ”

Li Wujun was taken aback, "Could it be that the enemy army has already entered the city?" ”

"Probably not, when the humble post came, the enemy army was still dozens of miles away.

Li Wujun was puzzled, and turned around and asked his military advisor Luo Sinan and said, "Military advisor, what's going on?" ”

Luo Sinan is a thin old man in his fifties, born as a civil servant, very insidious and cunning, Li Wujun killed Li Weiyue when he was Luo Sinan's advice, Li Wujun did not accept the imperial court's recruitment, and established himself as a feudal town, which is also Luo Sinan's suggestion, it can be said that Li Wujun obeyed Luo Sinan's words and trusted him very much.

Luo Sinan stroked his goatee and said: "I just think it's strange, how could Guo Song suddenly come to Hebei?" Even if he came to Hebei, he should take Xiangzhou, but he took Xiangzhou, which shows that Zhaozhou has an internal response! ”

"Could it be that Han Yuan has secretly surrendered to Guo Song?" Li Wujun said angrily.

"What kind of thing is Han Yuan, how could Guo Song put him in his eyes, if I didn't guess wrong, it should be that the Qinghe Cui clan used Zhaozhou as a vote."

"The military advisor is talking about Cui Hao?"

Luo Sinan nodded, "I can't think of any other reason than him." ”

"I understand, Han Yuan has a close relationship with the Cui family, that's why he ......"

Speaking of this, Li Wujun was immediately furious, "I trust him so much and continue to let him serve as the assassin of Zhaozhou, but he treats me like this, and he can be killed!" ”

Luo Si Nanyin**: "I told the prince a long time ago that these big families boast of being superior and have always looked down on the feudal town, and the Qinghe Cui clan doesn't even buy Tian Yue, how can they still be loyal to the prince?" ”

Li Wujun's face was hot, and he waved his hand and said: "There is no point in talking about this now, the military advisor said how we deal with Guo Songjun you?" ”

"The humble post has long been said, the Jin army from Fukou into Hebei, occupy Zhouzhou, not only the nail in our eyes, but also the poison on Tian Yue's back, our two armies should join forces, a total of attack on Zhouzhou, north and south, there is a possibility of victory, otherwise we alone are an army, I am afraid it is not their opponent."

"The military advisor wants me to retire now?" Li Wujun said with some dissatisfaction.

"Lord Wang, the eldest husband can bend and stretch, we are here to rescue Zhaozhou, since Zhaozhou has surrendered, then the meaning of our rescue is gone, retreat does not mean that the prince shows weakness."

Li Wujun was a little disapproving, "This is my territory, if I don't fight, I will give it up, and if it is spread out, won't it make the world laugh?" Anyway, I'd like to give it a try. ”

Luo Sinan knows Li Wujun very well, he is notoriously stubborn, what he decides, if he doesn't hit his head and bleed, he won't look back.

Helpless, he had to offer another plan: "Lord, if the enemy army enters the city, it will be fine, if they don't enter the city to the north, and want to fight a decisive battle with us, we might as well use cavalry to sneak attack, if it succeeds, the army will attack on all fronts, if it fails, the cavalry can withdraw at high speed, and we can also evacuate the battlefield, I don't know what the prince wants?" ”

This compromise plan is acceptable, and Li Wujun said happily: "It's decided!" ”

Guo Song's army had already passed Yongnian County, and they did not enter the county seat, but went directly north, preparing to meet the main force of Li Wujun's army, which was already not far away.

At this time, night had fallen, Guo Song found a place to stay by a river, ordered the soldiers to rest in place, and he sent five hundred scout sentries to patrol the surroundings, at this time their only cavalry, five hundred cavalry scouts.

In June, the weather became hotter day by day, and the soldiers no longer had to carry sleeping bags, but spread a very thin blanket on the ground to sleep, but tonight they didn't even have a blanket, and fell asleep.

The soldiers were a little tired from the continuous high-intensity march, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Marching Sima Liu Qiang was a little worried, and found Guo Song and said: "Your Highness, the enemy army has 3,000 cavalry, and I am afraid that they will sneak attack at night." ”

Guo Song nodded, "I can understand your worries, and I have also considered this possibility, but we need to find a countermeasure that combines the best of both worlds, so that the soldiers do not sleep all night, which is obviously unrealistic, I think twice before letting the soldiers fall asleep and stay in line when they sleep, I think this is the best way." ”

Guo Song pointed to the distance and said with a smile: "Liu Sima can take a specific look at the formation, two thousand Mo sword troops, then spear infantry and then peripheral bow and crossbow soldiers, a big pocket, I am looking forward to the arrival of the enemy cavalry." ”

Liu Qiang was ashamed and said: "Your Highness has made comprehensive arrangements, and you have been too considerate. ”

Guo Song said lightly: "There is nothing to be ashamed of, you are a marching Sima, you should see more and learn more, and you can also make reasonable suggestions when you encounter similar situations in the future." ”

"I understand the humble position, thank you for your teachings!"

At the third watch, the three thousand cavalry gradually approached the Jin army garrison, and when they were still two miles away from the garrison, the patrol post hiding in the woods discovered them, and three gunpowder arrows shot into the sky in a row. The explosion was opened, the red flames were dazzling, and the cavalry leader Yang Zhanlin knew that he could not sneak close, so he immediately waved his knife and shouted: "Kill!" ”

"Kill—"

The three thousand cavalry shouted, and the horses' hooves beat the ground, sending out rolling thunder, like a swift and rushing tide, sweeping towards the Jin garrison.

'When! While! While! The bell rang quickly, and the sleeping soldiers were awakened one after another, and they got up, many of whom were still in a daze, not fully awake.

The general rode on his war horse and shouted: "The enemy has been killed, and he has not yet come to his senses!" ”

The soldiers came to their senses and hurriedly lined up, they had prepared in advance, the formation was extremely fast, and in a blink of an eye, the team had been arranged, two thousand Mo Dao troops were in the front, with 10,000 infantry on each side, and another 8,000 infantry as an outer guard to prevent the enemy's main force from killing from the north.

The distance of two miles is only a charge distance for three thousand cavalry, and in an instant, three thousand cavalry will be killed, and dozens of steps away only a cold light can be seen, this is two thousand Mo knives, standing in the air like dense woods.

Yang Zhanlin was taken aback, he thought that the enemy army was in chaos, and he just let himself kill it, but he didn't expect the other party to line up neatly and was already in full formation, as if he hadn't slept at all at night.

"Mo Dao!"

More than a dozen soldiers rushed to the front and screamed in fear.

"Retreat! Fall back! ”

Yang Zhanlin shouted repeatedly, but it was too late, once the cavalry formed a charging formation, it would take at least a hundred steps of buffer distance to change direction, as for turning around and escaping, it would be necessary to go first in the rear, retreat layer by layer, extremely tacit, to have the most sophisticated training and long-term cooperation, even the most elite cavalry of the Jin army could not do this, and could only change direction diagonally in just a few dozen steps.

The cavalry crashed into the Modao forest like a raging storm, and countless soldiers and war horses were pierced through their bodies by the sharp Modao knives, blood spurted out, the neighing of war horses, desperate screams, and screams of being pierced through the body, and all kinds of painful screams resounded.

At this time, 10,000 spear infantry on each side quickly closed together, forming a hemispherical shape, encircling the enemy army, like a folded cloth bag.

Another 8,000 spear infantry ran at high speed, rushed to the front and formed a phalanx, beware of the sudden attack of the enemy's main force.

"Strangling!" Guo Song coldly gave the order.

'Woo-' The horn sounded, and the huge cloth bag array began to compress, and the cavalry in the large array had already suffered more than half of the casualties, they were like headless flies scurrying around, behind them were the large array of Mo knives that killed everything, and the other three directions were cold spears, mercilessly stabbing them off their horses.

The soldiers were so frightened that they jumped off their horses and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

The main general Yang Zhanlin is nowhere to be found, he rushed to the front of the team, it is estimated that he was pierced into a string by the Mo knife in the first wave of impact, without the main general, the soldiers completely lost their fighting spirit, and even lost the confidence to break out of the encirclement, and more and more soldiers chose to surrender.

At this time, Guo Song gave the order, "Accept surrender!" ”

.........

Li Wujun's army was ten miles away, and when the shouts of killing sounded, Li Wujun did not hear the sound of the horn as promised, and he was really uneasy in his heart, and immediately led his army to retreat to the north bank of the river thirty miles away.

They waited until dawn, but they didn't find a single cavalry retreating, and Li Wujun asked uneasily, "Military Division, what's going on?" ”

Luo Sinan sighed and said: "It stands to reason that no matter how fierce the battle is, there will be a little bit of news, and there is only one explanation for the current situation, the three thousand cavalry are all wiped out, otherwise, I don't know how to explain it." ”

"Ahh Li Wujun was stunned all of a sudden.

At this time, a spy Pegasus reported, "Lord Qi, the main force of the enemy army of about 30,000 people is already ten miles away, and it is coming here!" ”

Li Wujun was frightened, and he immediately ordered: "The whole army retreats!" ”

At this time, he couldn't care about face, and led 20,000 troops to flee north in a panic, the military advisor was right, they were not the opponents of the Jin army when they fought alone, they must join forces with Tian Yue, and the two armies attacked from the north and south, and maybe there was a little chance of victory.
