Chapter 85: The treacherous Pei Renji

Pei Xingyan led more than a dozen cavalry scouts to flee back to the Baishiling Wagang Army camp, and immediately told Pei Renji about the past.

"What do you say? The Sui army reinforcements have arrived fifty miles away? Pei Renji's eyes widened and asked Pei Xingyan.

Pei Xingyan rolled up his sleeves excitedly and nodded, "Yes." Father Qi, the Golden Hammer general who fought with me claimed to be the son of Xue Rengui. The child thought that it was very likely that Xue Rengui himself led a large army to come. Hehe, father, the child can finally show his skills now. ”

Pei Renji glanced at this brave and unscrupulous son with annoyance, and said angrily: "What do you know? If it was really Xue Rengui who personally led the army to come, how could we stop it with our 20,000 soldiers and horses? Thousands of works for the father are here, if all of them are folded, how can the father gain a foothold in the Wagang army? ”

Pei Xingyan asked in a low voice: "Father Shuai means not to fight?" ”

Pei Renji shook his head: "I can't make a final decision yet. Continue to send scouts to inquire about the situation of the Sui army reinforcements, if it is really the Sui army reinforcements from Xuzhou that all the troops are heading north, then I have to be sorry for the King of Wei. ”

Pei Xingyan's eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "Father, are you not afraid that King Wei will blame you for doing this?" ”

The corners of Pei Renji's mouth hooked, and he said with a yin smile: "Then he still has to blame for his life, once all the reinforcements from Xuzhou really go north." Hmph, the Wagang Army is also finished, will he Li Mi still have a chance to live? ”

Pei Xingyan hurriedly said: "Father, if the tile is finished, then what should we do?" ”

Pei Renji laughed and said, "Son, you are also a big boss, why are you still so frizzy?" Since the father dares to do this, of course, there is a way out. ”

Pei Xingyan said with a little understanding: "Isn't the retreat of my father Tang Emperor Li Yuan?" ”

Pei Renji smiled and nodded: "Yes, it is Tang Emperor Li Yuan." At present, Liu Wuzhou's subordinate Zhao Kuangyin rose strongly and occupied Taiyuan. The Tang Dynasty was short of troops in the annexation of states, and Tang Emperor Li Yuan had already sent people to contact me three times, hoping that I would lead my army out of Wagang and go to Bingzhou to help the Tang army. ”

Pei Renji paused for a moment, and said earnestly: "Okay, you remember." In troubled times, military power is the foundation of life. These thousands of parts under my Pei Renji are all Zhang Xutuo's old subordinates, who have followed him to fight in the south and north for many years, and their combat power is fierce. As long as this army and horses are here, there must be a place for us in this world. ”

Pei Xing nodded as if he didn't understand, but deep down he always resented his father's statement.

。。。。。。。。。。

That night, Pei Renji successively sent more than a dozen waves of scouts to spy on the military situation, and until dawn on the second day, all the scouts reported the same situation to Pei Renji:

On the official road, the Sui army's battle flag covers the sky, and the guns are like a forest. The generals Xue Rengui and Li Jing all marched with the army, and the distance between the forward and the rear guard was more than ten miles, and the soldiers and horses should be about 100,000.

After confirming that all the main forces of the Sui army were heading north, Pei Renji immediately made a choice and instructed his cronies: "Li Mi is finished, and the old man must not give him a funeral." Immediately inform your brothers, pack your bags, and go to Bingzhou to defect to the Tang Dynasty. ”

Of Pei Renji's 20,000 horses, 5,000 were brought from the Sui army when he surrendered to Wagang, and belonged to his cronies. The remaining 15,000 men were transferred to him by Li Mi from other ministries.

As early as last night, after Pei Renji learned the news of the arrival of reinforcements from the Sui army, he found an excuse to transfer all his 5,000 cronies to the rear camp, and this morning after confirming that Xue Rengui and Li Jing's 100,000 troops came to help, he immediately ordered a group of cronies to go to the rear camp to rectify the army and horses.

About half an hour later, Pei Renji casually found an excuse, took his son Pei Xingyan and quickly rushed to the back camp, leading the five thousand elite armor soldiers who were already ready to go.

An hour after Pei Renji left the Baishiling camp, Li Jing and Xue Rengui led 100,000 elites to cover the sky and the sun.

The commander disappeared mysteriously, and there was no one in charge of the entire battalion, and suddenly there was a mess, and Xue Rengui and Li Jing took the Baishiling camp almost bloodlessly, capturing tens of thousands of people.

Taking down the Baishiling camp so easily, Xue Rengui couldn't help but wonder, "Li Mi is also a person who knows the art of war, and Pei Renji is a veteran who has fought for many years, how can he be so vulnerable?" Isn't there a fraud? ”

Li Jing was full of confidence and explained to Xue Rengui: "General Xue doesn't have to worry too much, although Pei Renji's ability to lead troops is good, this person is extremely selfish. Although the men and horses here can stop our army for a while, it will not be for long. Pei Renji is a treacherous and cunning man, he will not take his life for Li Mi. If my expectations are correct, at this moment, Pei Renji has already voted for another master. ”

Xue Rengui listened to Li Jing's explanation, and Yang Gao was now attacked by Li Mi's army of more than 100,000 people, so he didn't have much time to delay, so he didn't hesitate, and ordered a partial general to lead 2,000 men and horses to stay in Baishiling to guard the prisoners, and the army quickly rushed to Xiangling.

。。。。。。。。。。

Xiangling, the camp wall that had been burned by the fire all night was completely turned into a ruin, and the Sui army camp was completely exposed. Yang Gao knew that a head-to-head confrontation with Li Mi's main force in Wagang was inevitable, and immediately ordered more than 70,000 people in the whole army to go out of the camp and prepare to meet the battle.

Li Mi heard that the wall of the Sui army camp had been completely burned down, and Yang Gao had personally led the main force out of the camp to set up a position and make a decisive battle. Overjoyed, he immediately led the whole army to the battlefield.

Woo~~Woo~~

After a low sound of horns, the two armies lined up separately, and the first formation of the Sui army was led by Li Siye and Yang Yande, all infantry, numbering about 10,000 people. The soldiers, armed with guns in one hand and shields in the other, were lined up in a row, forming an impregnable line about a mile long.

Following Li Siye's military formation were Lin Chong and Hua Rong, and almost all of the 8,000 people led by the two were crossbowmen, apparently to support Li Siye and Yang Yande in the first formation.

On both sides of Lin Chong and Hua Rong, there was a cavalry of about 5,000 people, and the leading generals were Yang Zaixing and Gao Chong. Their task was also very simple, to harass and harass the frontal assault of the Wagang Army troops as much as possible.

Obviously, even when fighting in the wilderness, the Sui army still put up a defensive formation.

And after Li Siye and others, Chang Yuchun and Yang Ye led an army of 40,000 to swing out, once the defense line of Li Siye and others was breached, then Chang Yuchun and Yang Ye would quickly wave their troops to kill, and the Wagang army would be mixed up, and they would do their best to drag the Wagang army and hold on until Xue Rengui and Li Jing's reinforcements arrived.
