Yu Ming pointed his spear at the front and shouted: "The enemy army is already frightened!" Brothers, hold on to the spears and sabers in your hands, and go forward with me, and kill the army and capture the flag, and destroy the enemy and kill the generals, and let it be today...... Kill! ”

"Kill!"

Yu Ming roared, then swung his horsewhip, slapped the horse's buttocks, and then raised his spear and galloped towards the retreating Tang army.

"Kill!"

Zhang Zhongjian also shouted, his eyes were split, and the boiling blood stirred his heart, he hadn't killed so happily for a long time. He followed closely behind Yu Ming and fought forward.

"Kill! Kill!! Kill!!! ”

Wang Xuanshu, Duan Da and others also roared.

In the roar of the mountains and seas, the Wan Zhou army desperately moved forward from all directions, like a surging flood that burst the embankment, and swept towards the already frightened Tang army, and the field of guns and knives reflected the empty wilderness outside the camp.

Although these 7,000 Tang troops were well-trained, they had never experienced such a disparity in strength between the enemy and us.

Since Li Yuan started his army in the original, he has always fought more and less, whether it was against the Sui army of Song Laosheng, or against Xue Ju and Liu Wuzhou, the strength was superior. But now, these 7,000 Tang troops are facing the Zhou army, which is almost four times their own strength. And 10,000 of them were cavalry, which made them feel terrified.

Coupled with Zhang Baode's early order to retreat, they lost the courage to fight even more.

The chaos, like a plague, spread through the Tang army formation, and all the soldiers turned around and ran backwards, fearing that others would run faster than themselves and let themselves fall behind and be killed by the enemy.

When someone began to flee, an avalanche effect was immediately triggered, and more soldiers dropped their weapons and fled backwards, just to run faster. There were even Tang Army soldiers who took off their armor, and all they thought about was how to escape.

As a result, the orderly retreat that Zhang Baode originally envisioned eventually turned into a rout, and then the rout turned into a rout......

Yu Ming slaughtered into the enemy formation, a spear stabbed left and right, and each shot brought up a corpse. Everywhere you go, you are clothed. When the soldiers of the Tang Army saw him, they all avoided him.

And these soldiers, who had just changed from the Zheng army to the Zhou army, fought a big victory when they fought with Yuming for the first time, and they were also in awe of Yuming. After all, a prince who can fight on the front line with them is still so brave and wise, but it has never happened.

More than two hours later, when the sky was already getting dark, the battle was finally over.

Of the 7,000 Tang army, except for Zhang Baode who led more than a dozen of his own soldiers to jump into a nearby river and escape, the rest were all killed or captured. Yuming finally achieved his first combat goal: to capture the large camp of the Tang army, and annihilate a number of living forces of the enemy, greatly weakening the strength of the Tang army in Luoyang.

What made Yu Ming even more pleased was that through this battle, the original Zheng Jun was convinced of him and basically agreed with him as the new lord. This gave him more confidence in the next battle.

"King Zhou, what should we do next?" Wang Xuanshu asked, now he admires Yu Ming. This battle annihilated nearly 10,000 Tang troops, but the Zhou army's casualties were only a few, which can be said to be the battle he had experienced, with the smallest losses and the most annihilation of the enemy.

Yu Ming glanced at the mountains of grain and grass in the camp, and Fang smiled slightly: "If this king is not bad as expected, Li Yuanji will immediately lead the army back after receiving the news that the camp is lost." After all, there is his grain and grass here! Now give me the order: the infantry begins to build fortifications, repair the camp gates and fences. The cavalry gave me a sleep and rest, and set off in two hours! Tomorrow we may face a fierce battle! ”

"King Zhou, in two hours, the cavalry is going to act?" After Wang Xuanshu heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

"Yes! The defense of the camp will be left to you. I will personally lead the cavalry to attack Du Fuwei and strive to join up with the 10,000 elite cavalry of my master Li Jing. We'll have a lot more room to manoeuvre! Yu Ming nodded and said, "Before I come back, you must guard the big camp and hold off Li Yuanji's army!" ”

"Thank you King Zhou for your trust, if I have a breath of relief, I will never let the camp fall into the hands of the Tang Army!" When Wang Xuanshu heard that he had been appointed as the chief general of the First Army, he was naturally overjoyed, patting his chest and reassuring.

"Xuan Shu, don't have the idea that if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent, this is just an ordinary battle, you just need to drag the enemy and prevent them from interfering with me to defeat Du Fuwei!" Yu Ming shook his head and said, "If you really feel that it is difficult to hold, you can also retreat after burning the food in the camp." The most important thing is to preserve the vitality! ”

"Subordinates obey!" Wang Xuanshu nodded, clenched his fists and took his life. But in his heart, he was thinking that he must not retreat, if he defeated the battle for the first time by leading the army alone, how could he hold his head up in front of other Zhou generals in the future?

……

In the middle of the night, on the wasteland forty miles east of Luoyang City, Li Yuanji, who had just intercepted the 10,000 "Zhou army", was furious. Because he rushed over, he was ready to capture Yuming alive and show off in front of his father. In the end, it was discovered that these people were only surnames in Luoyang City, and they were forcibly put on armor by the Zhou army, and then ordered them to march towards Li Jing's camp.

"King Qi, it seems that this is just Yu Ming's suspicious plan. I want to use my surname to pretend to be a soldier to attract the main force of our army to chase. The subordinates thought that the real main force of the Zhou army might have fled from the other direction! Duan Zhixuan said with a frown.

How could Li Yuanji not know that he had been tricked, he said viciously at this time: "These surnames are really hateful!" actually helped Yuming to deceive me and passed my order: arrest them all and send them back to Chang'an to be punished as official slaves! ”

"Ahh King Qi doesn't want this! The surname is innocent, it is just forced. If they are punished as official slaves, it will make us lose the hearts of the people! When Duan Zhixuan heard this, he was also taken aback, and hurriedly persuaded him.

Li Yuanji snorted coldly and did not answer, the anger in his heart had not yet disappeared.

However, at this moment, a scout captain hurriedly came to report: "King Qi, our scouts have just discovered General Zhang Baode and his party, they seem to have experienced a big battle, their clothes are broken, and their bodies are full of blood. ”

"What? Zhang Baode, he didn't guard the camp and came to me? When Li Yuanji heard this, even if he was stupid, he realized that he was afraid that the camp was not good.

He immediately ordered: "Bring Zhang Baode over quickly!" ”

A moment later, with the support of two Tang soldiers, Zhang Baode walked in front of Li Yuanji with a miserable face.

"Zhang Baode, what happened? What is the situation with the big camp? Seeing this, Li Yuanji was also shocked in his heart, and hurriedly asked.

Zhang Baode cried with a sad face at this time, staggered forward two steps, and then knelt down and said: "King Qiqi, not long after you left, Yuming personally led a large number of Zhou troops to kill, with more than 10,000 troops, and more than 10,000 cavalry, which is violent. Although the last general commanded his subordinates to resist desperately, they were helplessly outnumbered, and the enemy army carried many heavy siege equipment...... The battalion was finally lost and fell into the hands of the enemy. ”

When he reported the military situation, he deliberately lied about the situation. Yuming's army came in such a hurry, where would it carry any heavy siege equipment. But he had to explain it like this, otherwise he would have to tell his plan to mistakenly turn Yuming out of the mountain. That would be even more incompetent and humiliating.

He only had 10,000 infantry in the big battalion, and in the face of the 10,000 elite soldiers led by Yu Ming, he also carried a large number of heavy siege equipment, and it was reasonable that he couldn't hold it.

Li Yuanji was riding on a horse, and when he heard the news, he was so angry that he almost fell off his horse. He never expected that after only a few hours of leaving, Yuming would lead a large army to attack the camp, and he succeeded in one fell swoop.

As a result, the grain and grass of his tens of thousands of troops fell into the hands of the Zhou army, so how could he continue to fight? When his second brother Li Shimin comes back and sees such a situation, I am afraid that most of them will suspend their positions and sue in front of their father. In this way, I am afraid that I will never have the opportunity to lead the troops into battle again.

"Zhang Baode, you really disappointed me! You can't hold a big camp! Li Yuanji glared at Zhang Baode hatefully, but he blamed him too flawlessly. After all, there are no right-hand men around him.

"The subordinates must be guilty of meritorious service and follow the King of Qi to recapture the camp!" Zhang Baode knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Alright! Get up! Li Yuanji glared at him fiercely, and then said word by word: "Pass the order: the whole army will turn around, the rear team will become the front team, you and I will go with me to take the camp back!" If I can't take it back, I will be punished by my father, and you will just lose your head! ”

Zhang Baode also had beads of sweat on his forehead, and he wiped it and said: "My subordinates must do their best, even if they don't want to fight for their lives, they must recapture the camp!" ”

After a while, the 40,000 Tang army immediately turned around and rushed towards it. Seeing this, the surnames who stayed in place were also relieved and immediately dispersed.

……

When the next morning came, the fortifications of the original Tang army camp and the damaged fence and camp gate were finally repaired. Wang Xuanshu let these soldiers, who had been busy all night, start to rest, waiting for the approaching Tang army.

It didn't take long for a scout to hurriedly come and report: "General Wang, the enemy is coming!" It's ten miles away. There were about 40,000 of them, of which 10,000 were cavalry! ”

"It seems that Li Yuanji is back! This little one is really fast enough! I guess it was overnight! After Wang Xuanshu heard this, he also sneered: "Closely monitor their movements, and as soon as you find out that they have formed an array, they will report it to me immediately!" ”

"Yes!" The scout answered, and then returned to the wasteland.

"General Wang, now that the enemy army has arrived, why don't you go out of the camp to line up to meet the battle?" Duan Da asked a little strangely.

After Wang Xuanshu heard this, he shook his head and said: "Since the enemy army came overnight, after arriving at the battlefield, it is impossible to launch an attack immediately, so their physical strength cannot keep up. It was inevitable that the offensive would be launched after a few hours of rest...... This is also exactly what I want, and our soldiers have worked hard overnight to dig the ditch and repair the camp gate and fence. Just let them rest a little bit too......"
