"Quick, quick, quick!" All the generals of Gao Yanshou's troops are saying this, the enemy army was sneak attacked, and there was a camp roar by themselves, this is God bless me Goguryeo, as long as you can arrive in time and launch an attack on the Tang army camp, then your own team will save Goguryeo with their own strength, maybe they can kill or capture Tang Emperor Li Shimin alive, such a peerless miracle has stimulated their eyes to be red.

"General, the army is so tired on the march, what if you fall into an ambush by the enemy?" The lieutenant general was a little worried, he walked for a day during the day, and set off again at night as soon as he rested, he was too tired.

Gao Yanshou yawned and rubbed his eyes: "Now is a race against time, as long as we attack first, Yang Wanchun of Anshi City will definitely come to cooperate with us at that time, and the two sides will definitely be able to defeat the Tang army, even if they can escape some of them, but under the dispatch of Da Mo Lizhi, other soldiers and horses will also come to give them a fatal blow, let them work hard now." ”

"But the commanders and generals of the Tang Army are all famous, if they gather their troops in advance to block us in front, we will be in great danger?" The adjutant general still said bitterly: "I don't think it's bad for half a day, do you let the soldiers rest before leaving?" ”

"Don't worry so much, I've sent all the scouts out, and now I hope they won't react so quickly. Let Heaven bless you for the rest. We can only do our part,,,"

By the time Li Ji found Li Shimin, it was already about four o'clock in the night, and Li Shimin grabbed Li Ji and said, "How is the situation now?" How much did the army lose? ”

Li Ji cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, our army was attacked by the camp, because the night is too dark, so far, only 100,000 people have been gathered, and some people are estimated to be hiding, the current losses are unknown, but I estimate that at least about 50,000, this is ,,,, a capital crime for Weichen!" ”

Hearing this bad news, Li Shimin also cried: "How is this good, I, I hate it, how can I put so many people together, if the army is divided, there will be no such disaster... ”

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to talk about this matter, I need to bring a group of soldiers and horses to block the reinforcements of Gao Yanshou behind, they will definitely come back to attack when they hear the news, and now the matter of collecting the soldiers is handed over to Cheng Yanjin, and the defense of Anshi City is handed over to Zhang Jian, and Weichen will now take 20,000 soldiers and horses to block them for three days, otherwise we will be in danger."

"Is it still too late? I heard that Gao Yanshou is also a famous general of Goguryeo... Although Li Shimin was distressed, he still regained a little reason after most of the night.

"It's too late to go, even if all 20,000 people die where, as long as we can keep the Chinese army, we at least have hope, if they hit again... Li Ji didn't continue, but everyone here was battle-hardened, and they all knew the consequences.

Watching Li Ji set off in a hurry with his men, Li Shimin sighed: "The national disaster is a good general, at this time, I can only hope that Mao Yi will succeed in one fell swoop, and it depends on him whether all of us can return to Chang'an." ”

Xue Rengui thought for a long time and finally remembered that there was a place suitable for ambush on the way to the march, and he rode to Li Dongsheng: "Master Hou, more than an hour ahead, it is Xiling, I observed when I came, there are mountains on both sides here, that is, there is a small road in the middle, which is the most suitable for ambushes, so it is better for us to ambush there and take them by surprise." ”

Li Dongsheng thought for a while: "Although it is closer to the camp, there is no way. There aren't many places where you can spread 10,000 people. Let the soldiers hurry up and march again, and win a place where they can rest for a while, eat and drink enough to fight. He looked at Xue Rengui and said, "Didn't you say that you have no chance and can only be a low-level officer?" If this battle is good and enters the eyes of His Majesty, then no one will be able to suppress you in the future. ”

Xue Rengui nodded and said: "I was originally a village man anyway, I have only lived a good life since I met you, my family life is worry-free, and the officialdom also said in the past, you can rest assured, although this battle happened suddenly, I will definitely keep the Goguryeo people out for three days." ”

Li Dongsheng nodded: "You are an expert in fighting, all I can do is to accompany you and never take a step back." After gritting his teeth, he reminded Xue Rengui again: "You must fight my family and have three big bellies waiting for me to go home!" ”

At this time, the forward cavalry of the Tang army had approached Gao Yanshou's team, and the scout troops who fought at the front station had already encountered Gao Yanshou's scouts, and there were small-scale sporadic battles between the two sides, each with casualties.

When Li Dongsheng received the news, he looked at Xue Rengui, who had arranged for an ambush, and said: "Now the sneak attack and ambush are no longer over, they are coming too fast, we have to guard this road." ”

Xue Rengui also sighed: "Looking at their speed, it should be so fast to pull out the camp as soon as they receive the news and set off to Anshi City non-stop, now that they see our scouts, they must be careful, the ambush is not good." ”

"Is it okay to fight a tough battle?" Li Dongsheng still doesn't want to fight hard with the Goguryeo people, there are only 10,000 people in total, and I don't know how many people died in the camp, and now everyone is a baby.

"Set up a formation to scare them, and then I'll survey the terrain and see if I can do something somewhere else." Xue Rengui went to arrange for the deployment of troops. Li Dongsheng stared blankly at the surrounding mountains, racking his brains to think about how to fight this battle.

Li Shimin now has no pomp and circumstance as an emperor, and he sits on a tree stump, looking at the darkness under the mountain in a daze: I don't know how many people have been lost, and how many of my civil servants and military generals can run out in such a chaotic night...

At this time, a guard brought a man over, and a cry was heard from a distance: "Your Majesty, I have found you... ”

Li Shimin's heart is crooked, I'm not dead yet, who are you crying to! Do you show your faithfulness? He was displeased, "Who are you?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen is Wang Hu, the ambassador of the logistics warehouse." Wang Hu sobbed and choked: "Lantian Hou asked me to tell Your Majesty that there was an accident in the camp, he considered that there were still 100,000 enemy troops with Gao Yanshou behind our army, in order to buy time for the camp, he gathered some of the remnants of the army and set off first to fight against Gao Yanshou's troops." ”

"What? He's already led people to stop it. Li Shimin stood up excitedly: "Sure enough, he is a talented person who has a long-term vision and makes a decision at the right time." ”

Li Dongsheng's move wanted to give the Tang army at least one more day to reorganize the army, and then the Tang army could deploy more calmly, increasing the probability of success.
