"My lord, why did you suddenly stop marching?" Lei Wanchun asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Zhang Xun pointed to the dense forest in front of him with his hand and said, "General Lei, you see that the jungle is dense in front of you, I am afraid that there will be an ambush!" ”

Fluttering !!

Before Zhang Xun could finish speaking, he saw a flock of birds flying up from the forest as if frightened and quickly flew into the distance.

Seeing this, Lei Wanchun laughed and said: "My lord, I'll just say that you are too careful, you see the birds and birds flying in the forest, there must be no ambush, let's hurry up, Li Jiancheng will run away if it is late!" ”

"Be careful to make the Ten Thousand Year Ship!" Zhang Xun lowered his head and thought for a moment, waved his big hand, and ordered in a deep voice: "Bow and arrow coverage!" ”

Whoosh!!

Four thousand archers led the order forward and shot towards the dense forest not far away, the arrows rained down, and a burst of screams came, only to see countless shouts of killing in the woods roaring away.

"There really are ambushes." Lei Wanchun was obviously taken aback, and secretly glad in his heart that Zhang Xun was cautious, if he had been himself and saw the birds in the forest startled, he would have led the army to kill him a long time ago.

Li Yan in the Tang army formation is also pale, and there is no ambush when the birds enter the forest, which is common sense among soldiers. In order to lure the Sui army, he also specially ordered people to catch hundreds of birds and sparrows, who would have thought that this Zhang Xun would be so cautious, no matter what, he would first cover it with bows and arrows.

"Kill!"

Now that the ambush army has been introduced, Zhang Xun has nothing to worry about, and immediately waved his hand and commanded the whole army to attack the Tang army in front of him.

And Li Yan is also as pale as a torch, and shouted in a deep voice that the Tang army under his command met the attacking Sui army, even though the ambush plan was seen through by Zhang Xun, but his task was to drag the Sui army, if he retreated at this moment, he would be chased and killed by the Sui army, so that even Li Jiancheng would become unsafe.

In an instant, two armies of tens of thousands of people crossed a distance of hundreds of paces, colliding like two torrents of black pressure.

Bang bang bang!

Click!

The heart-rending screams suddenly rose to the sky, and streams of blood spurted out, splashing everywhere with blood red, and countless human heads and limbs were broken from time to time, flying into the sky, and then falling heavily to the ground.

As the battle progressed, the Tang army began to show signs of defeat and retreat. It's no wonder, as Chang Yuchun said, under the old city of the Tang Army, there is already a tired army, plus the ambush plan was easily recognized, and the army's morale was frustrated, and now it can maintain the undefeated formation, all because the main general Li Yan is in the back to command the formation.

In the midst of the chaos, Lei Wanchun rushed left and right with a pair of bronze hammers in his hand, and the enemies in front of the horse were all smashed to death with a hammer, and in just a quarter of an hour, nearly fifty Tang soldiers died under his hammer.

Under the leadership of Lei Wanchun, a fierce general, the morale of the Sui army was like a rainbow, roaring towards the Tang army.

"Kill, capture Li Jiancheng alive, and kill all the dogs in Guanzhong!"

There was another burst of earth-shattering shouts and killings, and a banner with the word "Chang" fluttered in the wind not far away, after the flag, countless soldiers and horses roared, and countless soldiers shouted and killed, and it was really a black and oppressive piece from a distance.

Chang Yuchun rode his horse and raised his sword, charged first, and shouted majestically: "The Tang army from Guanzhong listen, Li Jiancheng has gone to the general trend, and if you don't surrender quickly, those who dare to resist will be killed!" ”

The appearance of the Chang Yuchun army became the last straw that crushed the morale of the Tang army that was fighting. In an instant, the Tang soldiers, who were still holding on, were severely traumatized, and their fighting spirit began to collapse.

Even before Chang Yuchun led the army to kill, the Tang army had already broken and fled, and in the battle between the two armies, one person's escape would easily cause psychological changes in the people around him, and the soldiers did not have the loyalty to the dynasty as the general, and it was very likely that they would quickly join the ranks of escape.

Soon, the rout spread like a plague, and hundreds of soldiers joined the defeated ranks and fled backwards in embarrassment.

"Wow!"

Li Yan looked at the Tang army formation that had begun to appear in a large-scale rout, his face was pale, his throat was sweet, and he couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood from his mouth, tilted his head, and fell into a fainting.

"Husband!"

When the red lady saw Li Yan fainting, she exclaimed, hurriedly stepped forward to hug Li Yan, turned over her jujube red horse, whipped the war horse twice, and fled backwards as if flying.

The main general fainted and fled the battlefield, the morale of the Tang army was again frustrated, and the whole army fell into a complete collapse, and the remaining thousands of Tang soldiers fled like frightened sheep.

Zhang Xun and Chang Yuchun quickly joined forces and took advantage of the situation to chase and kill, and the Tang soldiers lost their armor and fled like crying fathers and mothers, but they could only kneel and beg for surrender if they couldn't escape. The two led the army to chase all the way for more than ten miles, and only when they couldn't see the shadow of the large-scale Tang sergeant did they order to stop the pursuit and suspend the march.

After the war, the Sui army probably lost about 2,000 people, while the Tang army lost nearly 4,000 people, and more than 3,000 people were taken prisoner of the Sui army. Chang Yuchun ordered a partial general to lead his troops to escort these captives back to Xinye City, while he and Zhang Xun continued to divide their troops into two teams, leading the army in front and back, and chasing Li Jiancheng.

。。。。。。。。。。

On the Shangyong Mountain Road, Li Jiancheng looked at Li Yanhong and his wife who had just returned from defeat from the back with a sad face. Just a quarter of an hour ago, Li Jiancheng had just received a report of the defeat of the former army, and the generals of the Sui army, Li Jing, Su Lie, and Long Zhi, led an army of 15,000 to occupy Shangyong County, cutting off the return route of the Tang army.

Ma Sanbao, the vanguard general of the former army, was not angry and led his troops to attack, but was defeated by the Sui army, and the general Wei Ting unfortunately died under the knife of the Sui general Longzhi, in addition to the loss of more than 2,000 soldiers.

Looking at Li Yan, who was now the commander of the light pole and was still in a fainting, Li Jiancheng sighed helplessly and ordered: "Order the whole army, camp on the spot, and find a military doctor to show Mr. Li well!" ”
