I pretended to be a woodcutter to talk, and a sergeant told me that Li Shimin saw the heavy snow falling from the sky and had no intention of fighting again, and planned to retreat in batches. ”

"Oh, you go scouting again." Bu Guiyuan didn't seem to be very interested, and he was still worried about Zhang Xingran's stone throwing.

Because he ordered the throwing of stones, the Sui army lost five hundred sergeants, not counting the wounded.

Since then, he has not been so loyal to Zhang Xingran.

In the afternoon, the military academy came to the barracks of Bu Guiyuan again, and was convinced of the news. He also said that heavy objects, such as siege trees, had been thrown into the wilderness by the Li family's army.

"Oh." Bu Guiyuan is still interested.

At this time, the military academy in Wuwei City came to issue a guard command and waited outside the gate.

Bu Guiyuan announced that he came in, and he lay on the bed, pretending to be sick for a long time, and kept coughing.

After the military academy came in, he said: "Because of the heavy snow falling for a few days, I really can't lead the troops to fight, and I ask you to go back and tell General Zhang that I really can't lead the troops to fight." ”

The military academy stopped for a moment and headed towards Wuwei City.

In the general's mansion, when he heard that Bu Guiyuan was seriously ill, Zhang Xingran understood that he was pretending to be seriously ill and unwilling to fight, so his heart immediately became angry: "He doesn't want to fight, I will personally lead the troops to go." Li Shimin made our army suffer such a big loss, and now I want to slip away with oil on the soles of my feet, and this general must collect some interest and come back! ”

Fan Huang, another general beside him, said worriedly: "General Zhang, I'm worried that this is the enemy's trick to lure troops, and there was a plan to reduce the number of feints and retreat before!" ”

Zhang Xingran smiled coldly: "On such a snowy day, if you ambush in the middle of the road, it won't freeze the Li family sergeant to death, General Fan, you are too worried." ”

Fan Huang thought about it, so he asked for orders to chase Li Shimin with Zhang Xingran.

Zhang Xingran waved his hand and said, "You can guard Wuwei City here, and I can bring the other two generals with you." ”

Fan Huang was aggrieved for a while, didn't he just question the guard Zhang Xingran.

In the midst of the heavy snow, the army of Wuwei City was assembled, about 7,000 men, and they followed Zhang Xing listlessly to pursue Li Shimin's army.

Walking outside Wuwei City, the military academy in the Yuan Army stopped Zhang Xingran and handed a letter to Zhang Xingran: "General Zhang, our general knows that you are going to pursue the Li family's army, and he asked me to forward this letter to you." ”

After Zhang Xingran took the letter, he tore it to shreds in front of him and whipped away.

Coming to Li Jiajun's gate, Zhang Xingran drove straight in, as if entering a no-man's land.

Several military academies reported that the barracks were empty, and the charcoal fires in some camps were still warm.

Looking at the direction to Jinyang City, Zhang Xingran was full of ambition: "Chase, we will chase Li Shimin to Jinyang City and behead Li Shimin!" ”

A group of Sui troops chased after Li Shimin.

When it was noon, his subordinate General Song Ming suggested: "General Zhang, why don't we let the sergeants eat on the spot first." ”

Zhang Xingran raised his eyebrows: "The military situation is urgent, and it is the time for the man to make contributions, so we will continue to hurry." ”

The military academy at the front came to report: "Li Shimin's army was found not far ahead!" ”

Zhang Xingran perked up, and the horsewhip shook in the void: "Hurry up, kill the Li family sergeant today, and one head will count ten taels of silver." "Of course, he didn't forget to make a promise to them.

Hearing that there was money to be made, the tired Sui army that followed behind had the fighting spirit and marched at full speed.

Sure enough, a mile ahead, I saw the Li family's army struggling to move forward in the wind and snow from a distance.

Behind him, Zhang Xingran yelled: "Li Shimin, where are you going?" ”

The Li family army in front was only more than 3,000 people, and the formation was scattered, obviously running around in the wind and snow for a long time, and they were exhausted.

Zhang Xingran was even more excited, and chased after him.

After Li Shimin stayed behind, he led hundreds of soldiers to fight with the Sui army that was in hot pursuit.

Zhang Xingran and Li Shimin fought together, and found that the opponent's moves were soft and weak, and after a few moves, Li Shimin saw that his army had almost gone, and he made a false move, and ran away after hitting the horse.

After some confrontation, Zhang Xingran was extremely sure that Li Shimin had no fighting spirit, and now he was thinking about how to escape back to Jinyang City.

Chasing all the way down, the weapons scattered in the snow by the sergeant of the Li family were scattered, and he was panicked like a lost dog.

Song Ming rode with Zhang Xingran again: "General Zhang, you need to beware of fraud, you see that Li Shimin's army always keeps a distance from us, I feel wrong!" ”

"General Song, if you are afraid, you should go back first!" Zhang Xingran choked Song Ming with a word, and he had nothing to say.

After chasing and stopping, Zhang Xingran led the army into Shuangyang Valley.

The terrain of Twin Sheep Valley is a large road in the middle, with a steep slope and slope.

There are two hills on both sides, shaped like lying sheep, hence the name Double Sheep Valley.

Faced with such a formation, Song Ming stepped forward again to dissuade, this is an excellent ambush terrain.

Li Shimin and his sergeants all fell to the ground tired, like a flock of lambs to be slaughtered.

Zhang Xingran was already carried away by the impending victory at this time, and took the lead in striking his horse forward, raising the spear in his hand.

When he got closer, he was surprised to find a mountain of boulders piled up on the top of the slope of the road, and Li Shimin and his men went around behind the boulders and pushed the boulders to rumble downward.

The boulder rolled faster and faster, and the ground of the entire road trembled.

At the critical moment, Zhang Xingran jumped to the side of the road, only to see that the war horse sitting down was rolled down by a boulder, his head was broken and bleeding, and his death was unbearable.

Then there were those Sui troops who wanted to retreat backwards, and five thousand Li family soldiers came out from behind the mountains of Shuangyang Valley, waiting for them to cut off their rear roads.

Thousands of sergeants appeared again on the summits on both sides, slaughtering from the top of the hill to the bottom of the mountain, ambushed on all sides.

Faced with such a situation, Zhang Xingran already understood that he no longer had any chance of winning, and heard the screams of the Sui army one after another, and witnessed the dead of the Sui army relying on each other, and the blood that flowed out stained the snow-white ground blood-red.

Zhang Xingran's ambition has long since turned into a despair that is colder than the cold and snowy weather.

Yes, defeated, defeated!

Watching the corpses of the dead Sui army fill the Shuangyang Valley, Zhang Xingran hit his head on the stone and his head cracked.

The reason why Xia Yu's raincoat played such a big role was that it isolated the snow that fell on the ambush soldiers, which made the Li family sergeant who was ambushed here in advance not be frozen, and the surprise attack was successful.

The soldiers of the Li family gathered together, formed a strict formation, and slaughtered Wuwei City again.

Zhang Xingran tore up the secret letter of Bu Guiyuan, and he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood: "General, you are self-defeating!" ”

When Zhang Xingran pursued Li Shimin and disappeared, Bu Guiyuan fainted on the bed, haggard.
