This "go all out, Da Zhou will win!" The cry spread far away, and the soldiers standing behind heard it immediately, so they couldn't help but shout along, which was their heartfelt cry.

The passionate voice spread to all corners of the army phalanx, stirring in the hearts of every Zhou soldier.

After a while, Yu Ming jumped high, then turned over and fell on the back of the war horse that was already waiting in front of the general's platform, and then turned the horse's head and shouted: "Go to the battle!" ”

It was just two words, strong and powerful, and the herald received Yuming's order and immediately passed it down one level at a time. The voice was loud and concise, and it spread louder and louder, but the army was neat and neat, and there was no mixed sound.

The footsteps gradually sounded, and the vanguard army at the front went first under the leadership of Luo Cheng and Yu Yuqing, followed by the northern army to which Li Jing belonged, then the southern army of Wei Chi Jingde, and Yu Ming personally led the Chinese army to the last.

The horses' hooves rumbled, and the footsteps clattered. Groups of soldiers and columns of soldiers marched firmly in the direction of Shandong.

When Yuming's army was slowly marching into Shandong and began to fight with Dou Jiande's Xia army, Luo Cheng was leading his army to just cross the Yimeng Mountains and head towards the nearby Donglai County. Yu Yuqing opened the bag given by her brother as early as when she set out on the expedition, and it turned out that the battle plan written there was to ask them to break them into pieces, assemble in the Yimeng Mountains, and then surprise attack Donglai County.

According to Yu Ming's inference, after his army set off, Dou Jiande would inevitably lead his army to meet the front line, and his rear guard would be extremely empty. And Donglai County is Dou Jiande's grain and grass storage place, once it is taken, the Xia army will collapse without a fight. The Zhou army was able to achieve victory at the lowest cost.

Luo Cheng and Yu Yuqing were both surprised and delighted when they saw it, they didn't expect Yu Ming to hand over such a heavy task to them. Therefore, although their army continued to run in the mountains, their faces showed a tired look, but their eyes were still bright, and they insisted on moving forward.

Now, Luo Cheng and Yu Yuqing led their troops to hide in a forest outside Donglai City, nervously waiting for the scout's return.

It didn't take long for the sound of horses' hooves to hear "De, De, De", and a scout in civilian clothes eagerly jumped off the horse's back and said to Luo Cheng: "General Luo, Donglai City is completely defenseless, the city gate is wide open, let the surname in and out, as long as we send a few elite soldiers, we can take the city gate!" ”

"Good!" Luo Cheng finally put his mind at ease.

At this time, he got up and said to Yu Yuqing: "Yuqing, you wait here for Feng first, I will lead five soldiers, change into civilian clothes, and pretend to be a surname to sneak into the city." After taking the city gate, I will send a secret signal, and you will immediately lead the main force into the city!" Today, we must let everyone come in and rest in Donglai City! ”

When Luo Cheng said this, he was full of confidence.

Although there are 20,000 Xia soldiers in Donglai City, they are all troops who are not strong in combat and have just been reorganized from the Shandong bandits. And they were completely defenseless, and when they were caught off guard, they were no match for their 50,000 elite troops.

Luo Cheng's words boosted morale, and a wave of passion and expectation spread among the soldiers.

Yu Yuqing also looked at Luo Cheng with eyes full of admiration, after breaking the barrier between the two, the relationship has been growing by leaps and bounds in recent times, and they all feel that the other party is the person they have been looking forward to, but they haven't been able to meet......

After a while, Luo Cheng ordered five soldiers with flexible hearts and eyes and asked them to change into civilian clothes. Then they walked out of the woods one by one, disguised as ordinary surnames, and sneaked towards the gate of Donglai City......

It was the autumn rain, and the soldiers defending Donglai City were all a little careless, they didn't expect the enemy army to kill here.

At this moment, the guards at the gate of the city saw several peasant-looking people coming over, and they didn't care, because there were often villagers who made an appointment to go into the city to catch the market together.

So they stopped the peasants and demanded that they pay ten copper plates to enter the city.

A tall young man wearing a hat heard the scolding of the guards at the city gate, but he smiled and said, "Right away, I'll pay you for it!" ”

With that, he pulled a pair of big hands into his arms, as if he was taking money.

The guard's eyes widened to see what was going on. Unexpectedly, what the young man took out of his arms was not a lead, but a short knife.

He was immediately shocked and shouted, "There is an enemy......

Before the word "human" could be uttered, the guard felt a pain in his throat, blood spurted out of his neck, and then he fell to the ground with a scream.

Several other Xia soldiers were taken aback. When they rushed forward with spears in hand, the peasants took out the weapons hidden in their waists and killed them. These men were extremely strong in martial arts, and in a few strokes, they cut down the Xia soldiers to the ground, and then took control of the city gates.

This tall young man was none other than Luo Cheng, and he immediately ordered his subordinates to release a signal to inform Yu Yuqing that the city gate of Donglai City had been taken.

"Let's rush together! General Luo has already taken the city gate! Yu Yuqing was overjoyed when she saw the red smoke rising into the sky in the distance. Immediately, he also held a spear and rushed towards Donglai City, followed by more than 50,000 soldiers, with a huge momentum and momentum like a rainbow, like a torrent of steel, unstoppable.

The Xia army on the city wall saw that the city gate was lost, and the enemy's strength was far above them, so where did they dare to resist more. Moreover, many of these Xia soldiers were Wang Bo and Xu Yuanlang's subordinates, and they did not have much loyalty to Dou Jiande in the first place. Seeing that the Zhou army was killed and entered Donglai City, they all lost the will to resist and surrendered one after another.

Now, the lifeblood of Dou Jiande's army is in Luo Cheng's hands. Moreover, the 50,000 Zhou army was embedded in the center of the hinterland of the Xia army, which posed a great threat to the rear of the Xia army. Dou Jiande has fallen into a big crisis.

……

After learning of the fall of Donglai, Dou Jiande immediately fell into a panic. From the mouths of the defeated soldiers who fled back, it was learned that the Zhou army that came to attack had more than 50,000 people, and they were all elite troops. Even if he leads his troops to recapture Donglai, I'm afraid it won't be able to conquer it in a short time.

Moreover, he sent back more soldiers, but he was afraid that the front line would be lost. But if you send fewer people back, it will be difficult to recapture Donglai. put Dou Jiande in a dilemma.

"How did these 50,000 Zhou troops run to Donglai without knowing it? The front-line troops didn't even notice it, could it be that they had wings and flew over? Dou Jiande was puzzled.

But how did he know that Luo Cheng and Yu Yuqing, as the vanguard army, had already started five days before Yu Ming's army set off. Moreover, in order to achieve the effect of the surprise attack, they all broke into pieces, dressed up as all kinds of merchants, farmers, hungry people, etc., passed through the steep Yimeng Mountains, and gathered outside Donglai City. In this way, Xia Jun's exploration will naturally not be able to detect it.

After discussing with Gao Shixing and a cadre, Dou Jiande believed that there was only one way to turn things around, and that was to defeat Yuming's Chinese army head-on on the battlefield.

As long as Yu Ming can be captured or killed on the battlefield, the Zhou army will inevitably be in chaos, and the crisis in Shandong will be solved.

So, Dou Jiande gathered his main force, a total of 100,000 people, and slaughtered Dongping County, where Yuming's Chinese army camp was located.

When Yu Ming learned that Dou Jiande had concentrated the most elite 100,000 troops to rush towards him, he did not panic at all, as if everything was expected by him. After hearing Cheng Yanjin's report, he just said lightly: "The soldiers will block, and the water will cover it." The king's order: Out of the camp to meet the battle! ”

When the Zhou army went out of the camp to meet the enemy, the 100,000 Xia army had already set off from Jining and arrived ten miles on the east bank of the Dawen River, waiting for the arrival of the Zhou army.

Dou Jiande stood on a small hillside, wearing a helmet and armor, although raindrops flowed into his collar, he didn't feel cold at all, and he didn't even shrug his neck.

He has experienced many hardships, and it can be described as difficult to go from a long man to the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Dou Jiande has experienced many failures, but he has never had any idea of giving up, but has been defeated again and again, perseverance, and many Sui generals who have defeated him before finally died in the hands of his mud legs.

Originally, Dou Jiande was also a wise and brave hero, but he has now become a gambler.

The battle in Hejian County a month ago made him fall from the peak of his life to the bottom. Originally, he completely annihilated Yuming's Eastern Army, and the main general Luo Yi and the deputy general Luo Shou were both killed in battle. He is in a good situation, not only can he defeat the Liaodong army that invaded south, but he is also expected to fight to Beiping and become a veritable king of Hebei.

But just when everyone thought that he could defeat Yuming, who had just entered the Central Plains, he was defeated. And the defeat was so miserable that not only was the 80,000-strong army wiped out, but several loyal and brave generals were killed in battle, and he himself became a lost dog and had to flee to Shandong. Moreover, because he was defeated by the two female generals, Red Sleeves and Yu Yuqing, he became the laughing stock of other people's after-dinner discussions.

Therefore, Dou Jiande has always buried his resentment against Yu Ming in his heart, trying to find a chance to defeat Yu Ming, and he was ashamed, but he never found a chance. Fortunately, the sudden death of Wang Bo and Xu Yuanlang gave him this opportunity to regain his position and become the master of one party again.

Although he still failed to defeat Yuming, he believed that his defeat of Yuming's father Yuhua and eldest brother Yucheng had already shown that his combat ability had made great progress.

It's a pity that Yuming didn't give him a chance to recharge his energy at all, and less than half a month after he sat on the throne of Shandong, the Zhou army went south again, and the momentum was like a bamboo.

Because the generals under his command were all subordinates of Wang Bo and Xu Yuanlang, who had just surrendered, their loyalty was not high, and when they fought, neither the generals nor the soldiers refused to sell their lives. Not only was it defeated on the front line, but Donglai City, which was a heavy storage place for grain and grass in the rear, was also lost, and it fell into a crisis again.
