Li Cunqiao and Song Jingang led the remnants to break through from Hanjiacang City, and immediately sent a probe to report to Du Ruhui and Li Jilong.

"What, the Sui army has already laid an ambush in Hanjiacang City, and Li Cunqiao and Song Jingang have suffered heavy losses?"

After hearing the report of Tanma, Li Jilong's eyes suddenly widened, and his face was full of disbelief.

Du Ruhui on the side only felt that the sky was dark for a while, and his body was about to fall off the horse after a while.

"Keming!"

Li Jilong's eyes were quick, and he grabbed Du Ruhui, who was already tilted by half of his body, and pulled him back vigorously.

Du Ruhui was pulled by Li Jilong, barely stabilized his figure, and cried bitterly: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin left me here in the hope that I would take Luoyang as soon as possible." But I didn't expect that I had been planning for a long time, and I would ...... What face do I have to meet His Royal Highness King Qin? ”

Li Jilong saw that Du Ruhui, who had always been calm and calm, was so out of shape that he was stunned on the spot for a while.

Wang Ren, who was behind Li Jilong, frowned slightly when he saw this, and cautiously stepped forward and said to Li Jilong: "Vice Marshal Li, our army's plan has been seen through by the Sui army, and there is no point in killing it again, so it is better to give the order to withdraw the troops!" ”

Li Jilong slowly came back to his senses, pondered for a moment, and nodded a little helplessly: "Since this is the case, then give the order to withdraw the troops." ”

"No, don't take the troops back to the camp!"

Unexpectedly, at this time, Du Ruhui suddenly stopped crying, his eyes were cold, and he said loudly: "How can our army return in vain this time? If Hanjiacang City can't take it, then take Yang Zaixing's head. Otherwise, the morale of our army will inevitably be greatly reduced, and only in the Year of the Monkey can we take Luoyang City! ”

"What the military advisor said is extremely true!"

Li Jilong is not an ordinary person, after hearing Du Ruhui's words, he suddenly woke up like a big dream, stretched out his hand, and shouted: "Order the army, at all costs, you will definitely take down Yang Zaixing's head!" ”

Du Ruhui nodded approvingly at Li Jilong, and reminded again: "Since the Sui army has seen through my plan to attack Hanjiacang, I am afraid that Yang Zaixing will be ambushed, but I am afraid that their reinforcements are already on the way, and the general should prepare as soon as possible!" ”

Li Jilong nodded, pointed to the high ground not far ahead, turned his head and ordered the adjutant general Li Junxian and said: "General Li Junxian, I order you to lead 8,000 soldiers and horses to the high slope in front of you to line up, if there are Sui reinforcements coming, you must stop them at all costs, and you must not let them join Yang Zaixing's department." ”

"The last general obeys!"

Li Junxian hugged his fist, took the lead, and led a group of soldiers and horses to quickly cross the battlefield and go straight to the front.

Not long after, Li Junxian had already arrived at the predetermined location, and immediately ordered the whole army to set up a formation: "Archers, go up and occupy the high slopes on both sides, and release arrows to me as long as you see the Sui army." The infantry is in the middle of the gun shield array, and they must hold this place no matter what! ”

Lin Renzhao was cautious in his use of troops, although it was like fighting a fire, he still sent several waves of scouts to the front to inquire about intelligence. Li Junxian's purpose was to block the Sui army instead of ambushing the Sui army, and he did not do anything to cover up after the formation, and the Sui army scouts saw the situation clearly.

After hearing the scout's return, Lin Renzhao frowned, and immediately ordered the whole army to stop advancing.

Lin Renzhao's lieutenant was anxious when he saw this, and shouted at Lin Renzhao with some annoyance: "General Lin, General Yang Zaixing and General Gao Siji are the fierce generals in our army, and now they are under siege and in danger. What is your intention to stop marching at this time? ”

In the army, martial arts are respected, Yang Zaixing and Gao Siji are strong in martial arts, and there is no shortage of admirers in the army, and after hearing the roar of the deputy general, they also shouted together: "General Lin, even if we die, we must rescue General Yang Zaixing and General Gao Siji!" ”

"In addition to the two generals Yang Zaixing and Gao Siji, there are also our 10,000 Pao Ze brothers, how can I, Lin Renzhao, be the one who can't be saved when I see death?"

Lin Renzhao waved his hand at the chanting soldiers, signaling them to be quiet. Then he said in a deep voice: "But the Tang army in front is in danger, and of course there are at least three thousand crossbowmen on the high slopes on both sides, and there are five thousand heavy armored soldiers in the middle. We only have 10,000 soldiers and horses, even if we try our best to break through their blockade, then how many people will we have left, can we save people? ”

After hearing Lin Renzhao's words, the adjutant general on the side suddenly soothed his face, and his attitude became a little respectful: "Then General Lin, it is better to send someone to Luoyang City to ask for help, and ask General Meng to send some more reinforcements out." ”

Lin Renzhao shook his head and said, "It's too late, and I'm afraid there are no extra soldiers and horses to mobilize in Luoyang City now!" ”

"Then do you just watch the brothers in front of you die in battle?"

The deputy general looked like he should be Yang Zaixing's iron fan, and at this time, his eyes became a little red, and he said loudly: "If this is the case, then the general will order the Tang army to attack the front." The last general can't watch his brothers stand in front of him and die while he survives in the world, and he is willing to die on the battlefield with General Yang Zaixing! ”

"I said, I won't die to my fellow brothers!"

Lin Renzhao looked at the deputy general and said lightly: "It's good to value love and righteousness, but can you use your brain in case of trouble?" Just with a bloody heart to send you to death, who do you think will take your love? ”

The adjutant general heard the meaning of Lin Renzhao's words, and was immediately overjoyed: "The general has a way?" ”

Lin Renzhao nodded and said, "The 10,000 soldiers and horses under General Yang Zaixing are the elite of the whole army. According to the intelligence, Li Shimin took almost all the elite horsemen with him when he raided the Tiger Prison Pass. If they want to encircle General Yang, the Tang army will inevitably be out, and now their camp should be very empty. ”

Although the deputy general has some shadows of the crazy star-chasing clan in later generations, he is not stupid to be able to get to today's status, and immediately reacted after hearing Lin Renzhao say this: "Does the general want to attack the Tang army camp and besiege Wei to save Zhao?" ”

Lin Renzhao said: "The Tang army has been plotting for Luoyang for a long time, and a large number of siege equipment must have been hoarded in the camp. Now that Li Shimin is confronting Xue Shuai's army at Tiger Pass, the Tang army is fighting with the mind of a quick victory. But without these siege equipment, would the Tang Army still be able to fight quickly? Therefore, once the battalion is in danger, the Tang army will definitely return to help immediately. ”

The lieutenant immediately said: "In that case, what are you waiting for? General Lin, let's go now. ”

Lin Renzhao shook his head helplessly: "It will take a while to make a detour from here to the Tang Army camp. There is no shortage of capable people in the Tang army, if we don't show up for a long time, I'm afraid that they will see our plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao. ”

After a pause, Lin Renzhao continued to speak: "In this way, I will leave six hundred cavalry here, and you will be responsible for commanding it." You divide your troops and horses into three groups, and at intervals you go to inspect the Tang army's formation, and then quickly withdraw. ”

The adjutant general asked puzzledly, "What does the general mean by this?" ”

Lin Renzhao smiled slightly: "The Tang army is in danger and is going to line up to block it." If our army does not attack the outpost, they will think that we are afraid to attack rashly, and we should be able to hide it for a while. ”
