Since it came out of the mouth of the eldest grandson Wuji, there should be no mistake, Qin Shubao immediately summoned all the military attaches above the general level to come to discuss the matter, and finally decided to withdraw while it was dark at night. Qin Shubao wrote a letter to Dou Jiande and asked him to bring someone to answer, after all, they only had 50,000 horses, and they were at a disadvantage in numbers, and Li Shimin's tens of thousands of cavalry was a big threat to them.

The atmosphere in Li Shimin's big tent has not been good since the eldest grandson Wuji left, Li Shimin's face has always been straight, and no one dares to speak casually, so as not to lie down and get shot.

"Shizi, why don't we just leave Qin Qiong and the others here?" Hou Junji said suddenly, he had long seen that Qin Shubao was not pleasing to his eyes, who was Qin Shubao, who dared to let the prince listen to his dispatch, if Li Shimin hadn't been stopping, he would have led people to kill him in Hedong last time.

However, as soon as Hou Junji reminded him, the rest of the generals also swept away the silence just now, and they all had eager expressions. Yang Yun's army is known as invincible, and they have also seen it, and they are really well-equipped, and they have long wanted to fight to see who is the most powerful.

"Auxiliary...... What does Jing Gong think? Li Shimin subconsciously wanted to ask the eldest grandson Wuji, but suddenly remembered that the eldest grandson Wuji had gone to Qin Qiong's camp, so he turned to ask Liu Wenjing, after all, the eldest grandson Wuji had been with him for so long, and he Li Shimin was able to have the help of the eldest grandson Wuji now, but now there is one more suspicion between the two.

"I agree with Junji's proposal, make a move to Qin Qiong, eliminate them or drive them out of Guanlong, and then we will manage the northern part of Guanlong, after all, Hedong has been lost, and we urgently need a place to recuperate." Liu Wenjing was a warmonger, and he instigated Li Yuan to raise troops against Sui in Jinyang, and now Li Shimin asked him to approve of it.

Liu Wenjing's words have won the approval of all the generals, what can you do as a soldier without fighting, how can you increase the official and become a knight and be crowned a wife and son without fighting? Li Shimin saw the fanaticism in the eyes of all the generals and knew that this battle had to be fought, even if Qin Qiong didn't come to find Changsun Wuji, he would send troops to attack, not to mention that Qin Qiong made him very unhappy now, just now Liu Wenjing mentioned Hedong but reminded him that it was Changsun Wuji who gave Hedong to Liang Shidu after negotiating with Liang Shidu, but in the end he let Yang Junbai pick up a bargain, and he had to wonder if Changsun Wuji was planning it.

"Good! Obey the order! Attack the enemy at three o'clock tonight! "Ugly time is the most tired moment of people's bodies, this Li Shimin is still clear, he can only choose this time to attack at night, although Qin Qiong's men and horses are only one-third of his men, but from the perspective of equipment, they are beyond reach, so he is worried that it will not be beneficial to attack during the day, and it is better to attack at night.

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, the eldest grandson Wuji entered the tent, and everyone saw that his face was a little weird, but the eldest grandson Wuji saw the residual smiles on everyone's faces and the excited shouts that he heard outside just now, and he knew that Li Shimin was going to attack Qin Qiong without asking. However, seeing that Li Shimin ignored him, he didn't bother to say anything, just stood quietly aside, obviously becoming a marginal person in this circle.

"How, is there any movement in the enemy barracks?" Since it was decided to attack Qin Qiong, it was necessary to send someone to monitor his every move, and now that it was ugly, Li Shimin and his men and horses had already come to the place where Qin Qiong's army was stationed not far away.

"Son, the enemy army has not made any changes, the enemy has rested after cooking in the evening, and there are still people patrolling back and forth in the barracks." The scout who had been monitoring Qin Qiong's army said, because after all, it was surveillance, so he didn't dare to get too close, so he could only watch from a distance, but he could still be sure that the enemy had no movement, because the enemy was still guarded by soldiers at the gate, and the fire in the barracks shone on the figures walking back and forth.

"Very good, hard work, I will give you a credit first, and then I will reward you when I take the enemy camp!" Li Shimin said that it is not easy for scouts to be able to stare here all day, and they must be rewarded.

"Junji, you lead 50,000 horses to make a detour behind the enemy camp to prevent them from breaking through; Third brother, you lead people to kill from the left, Jingde, you lead people to kill from the right, and I personally lead 30,000 horsemen to kill from the front! Surrounded on all sides, Qin Qiong's camp was brought to the end in one fell swoop! Li Shimin assigned tasks one by one.

"Yes!" The three of them took the order and took their places with them.

The disadvantage of a lack of generals is that you have to go into battle yourself, but there is also an advantage that every general can participate in the war and does not need to take care of the emotions of other generals.

At three o'clock, Li Shimin gave the order to attack on time, led 30,000 cavalry to take the middle of Qin Qiong's camp, broke through the gate in one fell swoop, and killed the big tent of the Chinese army, but he didn't notice that the "soldiers" on the gate did not fight back, and still looked at them fixedly, as if he was laughing at a bunch of clowns.

"Kill!" Li Shimin was like a bamboo all the way, and without encountering the slightest resistance, he directly killed the big tent of the Chinese army, and at this time Li Xiaogong and others also began to attack the enemy camp.

"Report to the world, there is no one inside!" The soldiers who entered the tent to search came out to report, Li Shimin's face was gloomy for a while, because he had found out that apart from them for so long, there was no one in this camp, and sure enough, all the soldiers who entered the tent came out and said that they had not found the enemy, and this camp was an empty camp.

"Shimin, this is an empty camp!" Li Xiaogong walked over with a serious expression at this time and said.

"Impossible! The subordinates kept staring, they obviously rested after cooking, and there were obviously figures shaking and shaking, what were they doing if they weren't patrolling? At that moment, the stalker jumped out and said.

"Figures? Shaking? Li Shimin muttered, and suddenly remembered that he was not blocked when he broke the gate just now, and there seemed to be something dangling from the gate.

"Not good! Retreat! Li Shimin immediately ordered a retreat, but it was too late, the sound of rockets breaking through the air had already been heard, pouring down towards the camp, and after a while, the entire camp became a sea of fire. It turned out that Qin Shubao personally led the cavalry to break the rear after retreating at night, and then thought about why he couldn't fight back since Li Shimin was going to attack him, so he ambushed around the camp, and sure enough, Li Shimin really poured out, how could he miss such a good opportunity.

"Withdraw!" After releasing the rocket, Qin Shubao decisively led the men and horses to retreat, the camp tent was too far away, and the fire was not big enough, so it could not stop Li Shimin's army for too long.

"Qin Qiong! I'll kill you!! This was the first sentence Li Shimin said after escaping from the fire.

"How many casualties?!" Li Shimin asked after calming down.

"There are not many deaths, but there are many injuries, I'm afraid there are tens of thousands!" Li Xiaogong said that the fire was together, people and horses panicked, crowded and trampled on each other and died and injured, and there were not so many people who were burned to death by the fire.

"Shizi, this revenge must be avenged!" Hou Junji originally carried out the execution to prevent the enemy from retreating, but in order to grab the credit, he also attacked the camp, but they came late, and the fire rose before all the people entered, and his tens of thousands of people did not have many casualties.

"Revenge! Avenge! "Hou Junji's reminder. All the soldiers shouted for revenge, and they didn't want to think that they couldn't let them fight back when they came to attack them? Waiting for death?

"They must not go far, they will definitely not be able to hide from our eyes when they go out of the camp during the day, only at night is possible, they will walk for two or three hours at most, Hou Junji, you lead 30,000 cavalry to catch up with them, you don't need to fight with them, as long as you can entangle them and wait for the arrival of the army!" Li Shimin decisively gave an order, once Qin Qiong crossed the Yellow River, it would be difficult to catch up.

"Yes!" Hou Junji was overjoyed, this matter fell on his head, and he could lead his troops to kill for a while.

It was already dawn, and after a night's drive, Qin Qiong led the army out of Yan'an County and arrived near Dinghe.

"General, the soldiers have been on the road for a day, do you want to rest for a while? In front is Chengping, a small county town. A staff general asked.

"Don't go into the city, go directly to the river, find a place where the river bends, dig fortifications and fight with Li Shimin's pursuers!" Dinghe is not small, if you want to cross it, you need boats, and the pursuers behind must not be far away, there is no extra time to make boats for them, and Chengping is just a small city, so it can't be defended at all, and Qin Shubao still has his plans! Therefore, the only way to find a place with water is to repel the enemy's pursuers first, and maybe Dou Jiande's reinforcements will come without shipbuilding.

Dinghe is more curved, it is not difficult to find a tidal flat that stretches into the river, after finding it, Qin Shubao ordered to dig fortifications, the enemy can catch up with the cavalry, this alone must not be able to hold, but he still has a secret weapon in his hand that has not been willing to use.

"General, the enemy has crossed the city and is coming here, all of them are cavalry, probably tens of thousands." The scout came back to report.

"Okay, you patrol along the river, and bring it over when you see General Dou's words!" I didn't expect the enemy to come so quickly, it seems that the fire last night did not hinder them or provoke them, but the fortifications had already been dug, and a position was dug along the left and right sides of the river to defend the center, and once the enemy army entered, it could be surrounded on three sides. The tidal flat lacked wood, so it was impossible to make a horse rejection formation, but there was no shortage of stones, and arranging the stones according to certain rules could have the effect of slowing down the cavalry charge.

"Qin Qiong, if you don't get off your horse and surrender quickly, you will be spared death!" Seeing that Qin Shubao was already in full battle, Hou Junji didn't dare to kill him directly, but he was confident that his 30,000 horses were enough to break through the humble position in front of him, as for what Li Shimin said, let him not attack rashly, just contain the enemy, he didn't know where to go, and he saw that the great opportunity for meritorious service was in front of him, how could he let it go.

"What kind of general are you, but a traitor, if you are willing to surrender and strike a blow at Li Shimin, then you can plead with the prince and not pursue your previous rebellion!" Hou Junji was nothing in front of Qin Shubao. There is no comparison in terms of qualifications, and there is no comparison in terms of positions in the two camps, not to mention that Hou Junji is still a traitor!

"It seems that you are not willing to surrender? Then don't blame me for not being emotional, and all the soldiers obey the order! Kill! "Hou Junji ordered an attack, 30,000 horses to attack the three positions is enough, if he has not 30,000 cavalry but 100,000 foot soldiers, he will not dare to easily drill into this inverted triangle shape of the defensive position, otherwise he will be surrounded by accident, but 30,000 cavalry do not need to worry about being surrounded, but the situation is not as good as he imagined, the stones in the enemy's position have caused them a lot of trouble, and the speed advantage of the cavalry cannot be brought into play at all.

Since he couldn't let go of the speed, of course he became the handle of the archers, and he was repulsed after attacking several times, but the messy stones on the ground were also cleared out of several passages, this time Hou Junji finally went crazy, rushed to the position and killed for a while, but was killed by Qin Shubao and his people. However, in this way, Qin Shubao's position was also seriously damaged, and it seemed that he could only use secret weapons.

Qin Shubao asked people to lift the things pulled by the carriages behind, and it turned out to be a basket of simple grenades, although the power is not great, but it is enough to be proud of the cold weapons of this era, and the sound will also cause confusion to the horses, and the effect will not be small.

"The enemy's position is about to be broken, and if we work harder, we will surprise the prince!" Hou Junji reorganized his team and prepared to take down Qin Shubao's position in one go!

"Here, wait for the enemy to get a little deeper, throw!" Seeing the opportunity, Qin Shubao decisively gave the order to throw the grenade wildly, and sure enough, if it wasn't thrown directly on the cavalry, it would not have been able to kill them at all, but it could also make the cavalry, especially the cavalry led by Hou Junji, who had no armor, be injured, and the war horses were even more disturbed by the continuous explosions, and some rushed directly to the position like crazy and were shot by the archers at range hedgehogs, some spun around in place and neighed, and some directly turned around and ran back.

"Withdraw! Evacuate! Hou Junji couldn't imagine that the enemy still had such a powerful weapon, and he couldn't care too much, so he fled directly, if he was caught up by the enemy, it would be troublesome, and he was worried about that new weapon. Hou Junji led the troops to rush through Chengping in one breath, but he saw that there seemed to be a large army waiting for them in front of him, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he could only choose to enter Chengping, a dilapidated city with no defense at all.

Qin Shubao besieged but did not attack, and waited for less than an hour for the scout troops to say that Dou Jiande had crossed the river and was rushing to this side, Qin Shubao immediately sent a message to Dou Jiande, so that he didn't need to bring someone over, and went directly to the front to stop Li Shimin's reinforcements, and at the same time released the word that Hou Junji's troops had been surrounded, so Li Shimin had to come to the rescue desperately. Then Qin Shubao's plan has succeeded, and this plan is to encircle the point and send reinforcements! Although Yang Xuan clearly pointed out that this planned function can only be achieved by long-range strike troops, Qin Shubao still wants to give it a try, because the range of Qingzhou soldiers' bows and arrows is absolutely superior!

"Shizi, the enemy's resistance is too strong, we can't break through at all, and if we continue like this, General Hou's headquarters will be wiped out sooner or later!" Wei Chigong said anxiously, but why wasn't Li Shimin in a hurry? Hou Junji's cavalry was pulled up by him with great difficulty, but fortunately, the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry did not let Hou Junji lead it, otherwise he would not even have the old bottom.

"This seems to be a trap of the enemy, who wants to slowly drain our strength!" At this moment, the eldest grandson Wuji, who was on the side, said a word, but he woke up Li Shimin, they sent their men and horses up wave by wave for the family to be wiped out, maybe Hou Junji had already been wiped out, after all, the cavalry could be surrounded, so it was basically that kind of state of inability to fight again, otherwise it would have broken through a long time ago.

"Shizi, Daxing letter!" Just when Li Shimin didn't know what to do, a person sent a letter over, which was written by Li Shentong, with only a few words on it, "The king of Tang is the emperor, return quickly!" ”

"Withdraw!" Li Shimin knew that even if he could break through the enemy's resistance like this, he would lose the best opportunity to return to Daxing, after all, the benefits obtained outside would always be less than those obtained by the 2 people in Daxing, which would outweigh the losses for him.

"What about General Hou? Whatever? Wei Chigong asked.

"Let's go! I'll take revenge on Junji! Li Shimin turned the horse's head directly and left, if he loses a Hou Junji, there will be thousands of Hou Junji, but if he misses the reward of Li Yuan as the emperor, then he will always be trampled under the feet of some people, which is more important, Li Shimin is clear in his heart!
