"Hasn't General Duan come back yet?" Wang Xuanshu returned to the camp, and after resting for a while, he hurriedly asked. Bi·Qi Medium·· Net·· hair

Several of the generals in the tent shook their heads with ugly expressions.

"This bastard! Didn't you tell him that as soon as we left, he would retreat as soon as he did? Why did you stay in the Tang Army camp for so long......" Wang Xuanshu scolded and shed a few tears.

In the past few days, Duan Da has been desperately helping him deal with the affairs of the army, digging ditches, repairing camp gates and fences...... It can be described as hard work. In this sneak attack and robbery of the Tang military camp, he took the initiative to assume the heavy responsibility of the broken back, and his combat courage and self-sacrificing righteousness moved Wang Xuanshu a lot.

"Report to General Wang! Some of General Duan's soldiers returned, and they brought back the news of General Duan's death......" One of his own soldiers walked into the big tent and reported.

"What about them? Call them in! Wang Xuanshu barely resisted the urge to cry at this time.

More than a dozen soldiers of the Zhou army walked into the tent with scars, and they told Wang Xuanshu the whole process of Duan Da's death.

It is said that when Duan Da faced the siege of the Tang army, in order to cover the retreat of the wounded soldiers, he led several warriors to kill the enemy's main general, but when he was about to rush to the enemy, he was shot into a hedgehog by the Tang army's random arrows. But it's because of him that he attracts the attention of the enemy. Only then did they be able to fight their way out of a gap from the other direction and return to the camp.

"General Wang, when General Duan asked us to break through from the other direction, let us bring you a word. He said that he had not served anyone, even the former Sui Emperor Yang Guang was only superficially respectful, but he was really convinced by King Zhou and you! He said that he believed that you could assist King Zhou to sweep away the princes of all parties, so that the old surnames in the world could live and work in peace and contentment, and have no worries about food and clothing! One of the soldiers in front said.

Paragraph ...... General Duan, he really thinks highly of me. Wang Xuanshu said with a wry smile. But soon he fell back into grief and anger.

"Tang Jun, Li Yuanji! I'm going to kill you all!" Wang Xuanshu secretly made up his mind.

"Zhang Baode, have you counted the results of the loss?" Li Yuanji sat in his big tent and asked angrily. As a result of this attack, most of the tents of the Tang army were burned, and only he and several senior generals were not hit by the rockets of the Zhou army because of the large number of guards. Now many Tang soldiers can only sit on the grass in the camp and doze off.

"King Qi, preliminary counting, from yesterday's counteroffensive to the present, we have killed more than 7,000 people, wounded more than 10,000 people, and the siege equipment that has just been built has been burned by the Zhou army's army, and eighty of the camp tents have also been burned. However, fortunately, because the grain and grass warehouse was very well guarded, the Zhou army did not find a chance to start, which was a great luck in misfortune. Zhang Baode trembled and said the losses just counted.

"! Before the offensive had achieved any success, more than 17,000 people were killed and wounded, and the siege equipment that had just been built was gone, so how could this battle be fought? Li Yuanji shouted angrily. He naturally knew that most of the casualties occurred when the enemy army looted the camp.

"His Royal Highness King Qi, it's not that the brothers don't work hard, but the enemy is really cunning. None of us thought that with such a small number of troops, they would dare to come out of the camp to attack us. Moreover, they were all dressed in the armor of our army, so that everyone could not distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, and eighty percent of the dead and wounded soldiers were killed and wounded by their own people. If it weren't for General Zhang's immediate decision to order the soldiers to assemble according to their units, it would be difficult to say that the entire army would collapse......" Another general hurriedly slapped Li Yuanji and Zhang Baode's sycophants.

"Alright, alright! Now is not the time to say these compliments. As we all know, our grain and grass are still in the camp. Now we only have enough food for the day, if we can't get back to the camp within the day. I'm afraid that the army will collapse without a fight. How will we give an account to Your Majesty? Li Yuanji said impatiently.

"This ...... King Qi, it seems that we underestimated the enemy, this Wang Xuanshu is cunning and abnormal, and his scheming is not overwhelmed by his father Wang Shichong, so we have suffered losses again and again. However, in the face of absolute strength, any intrigue is ineffective. Therefore, the only way to do this is to attack. Although the siege equipment we prepared was burned, it was very easy to build some ladders to get out, and we only needed to cut down some big trees. Zhang Baode offered a plan at this time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of General Zhang's idea?" Li Yuanji's eyes glanced at his subordinates and asked.

"This ...... Whatever King Qi says, we will do! Several division commanders glanced at each other, and then kicked the ball to Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji felt a burst of anger in his heart, and secretly said Aren't you just afraid of taking responsibility? If you agree to the siege and the siege fails, you will also be jointly and severally liable for the agreement, but if it is my own decision to attack the castle and my father wants to hold him responsible, he will only be held accountable for the wrong order I issued.

Hmph, you are unkind, and don't blame me for being unjust. Li Yuanji's eyes rolled, and he immediately had an idea in his heart, and he sneered and said: "Since this is the case, this king has announced the order: since the strategy of building ladders and attacking the camp is General Zhang's idea, then this matter will be handed over to General Zhang to be responsible for cutting down trees and building ladders." The other generals ordered their troops to rest in peace, and early tomorrow morning, except for Zhang Baode's department, which was temporarily not involved in the attack camp as a reserve, the other four troops attacked the camp from the east, south, west, and north! ”

After the announcement of this order. In addition to Zhang Baode's happy face, the faces of the other four generals all changed suddenly, according to the current morale and spirit of the troops, it is difficult to capture the big camp by relying on a few ladders. His subordinates did not know how heavy the casualties would be. But the Tang army was strict in governing the army, and when the military orders were like a mountain, he and the other four could only bite the bullet.

Early the next morning, the war drums in the Tang army's formation were beating, and Li Yuanji personally supervised the battle, and set out with four partial generals, advancing the attacking phalanx to the periphery of the Zhou army camp, and then divided into four, launching a fierce attack on the Zhou army camp from the east, west, south and north directions.

At this time, arrows rained down inside and outside the camp gate, and the Tang soldiers held shields in one hand and broadswords or spears in the other, braving the rain of arrows to march towards the camp of the Zhou army. Although the arrows kept falling, they were numerous, and they quickly attacked the barricade of the camp gate, then set up a ladder and began to climb to climb in.

"Everyone blocked the camp gate, and the archers by the fence retreated! Let the spearmen and shieldmen come up to meet the enemy! It's the moment of truth for the team! It's up to whom! Wang Xuanshu shouted.

"Fight with you!" A Zhou soldier raised his spear and stabbed at a Tang soldier who was about to climb into the camp.

"Ouch!" Hearing only a scream, the Tang soldier immediately fell down the ladder. Falling heavily under the city walls, the Don soldiers standing outside the fence could hear the sound of his ribs breaking.

However, before the Zhou soldier could breathe a sigh of relief, he fell to the ground, and a cold wolf's tooth arrow shot from outside the camp, instantly piercing his throat and taking away his young, full of vitality.

"Kill!" A Zhou soldier roared angrily, and the long sword in his hand with a silver-white light slammed into the chest of a Tang soldier who had just climbed into the camp. The Tang soldier's body trembled violently, the big knife in his hand fell to the ground, and his hands weakly grasped the long sword pierced into his chest, and wailed bitterly......

......Before the Zhou soldier could draw back his long sword, a spear had already stabbed like a poisonous snake with a cold light, and pierced his throat coldly. Red blood poured out from the throat wound of the middle gun, staining his clothes red. This soldier of the Zhou army only felt that his eyes were dark, and his body suddenly became extremely heavy.

He reluctantly raised his head and glanced at the person who killed him, only to see that it was a Tang Army's leader. This man was smiling and pulling out his spear violently, and then attacked the other Zhou army leader who was fighting......

Brutal fighting also took place around several other camp gates and fences in the Zhou army's main camp. Tang Jun did not expect that the will to resist and combat effectiveness of the Zhou army would be so strong. In their opinion, these are the remnants of Wang Shichong's troops, the soldiers of the New Zhou Army who have just joined Yuming, and the tenacious will and combat effectiveness that have erupted are not inferior to them, the main force of the Tang Army. Although they attacked the camp several times and saw that they were about to gain a foothold, they were driven out by the soldiers of the Zhou army who forgot to die......

Seeing that the sky was getting dark again, the day was coming to an end. And Li Yuanji watched the battle around the camp from a distance, and his face became more and more ugly.

"King Qi, stop for a while! Zhou Jun was tenacious, and he didn't know what benefits Yuming had given them, so he had to die for him at once...... Wang Xuanshu completely put on a posture of burning jade and stones. General Tang Junya, who attacked from the west camp gate, said with some heartache. After a day's attack, his troops had lost nearly a dozen dead and wounded, and the soldiers were exhausted.

"Yes! King Qi, let's think of another offensive strategy! If I insist on forcing the soldiers to attack now, I am afraid that it will cause a mutiny! Another Tang Army general also said with apprehension.

After Li Yuanji heard this, his face turned pale, he didn't want to give up halfway like this. But the current situation is obvious, although the Tang army has attacked desperately and paid heavy casualties, it is impossible to break the enemy in one fell swoop.

At this moment, there was a sound of people shouting and neighing from behind them, and it seemed that a large number of people and horses were approaching their camp.

Li Yuanji was shocked in his heart, and was about to order someone to investigate. But seeing Zhang Baode rushing over, he bowed to Li Yuanji and said, "King Qi, King Qin has already led the army to arrive!" ”

"What?" When Li Yuanji heard this, his heart suddenly sank, if he waited for Li Shimin to come, after the two armies converged, he would not have the command of the Tang army.

However, in this way, the pressure should be borne by Li Shimin, and this Zhou army camp that has not been attacked for a long time should be dealt with by Li Shimin.

“…… All right! Pass my order, stop the attack, withdraw the whole army to the camp, and wait for my second brother to arrive, and then discuss the strategy of attack! Li Yuanji said in a deep voice.
