In a sudden surprise attack, the Tang army, which was originally a little flustered by the impact, finally stabilized its position under Cheng Yanjin's calm dispatch, and then quickly assembled in formation and began to counterattack the enemy.

All this was a long time, but in less than half an hour, the situation on the battlefield was reversed in vain.

It can be seen from this how important it is to have an experienced commander in the army, Cheng Yanjin is arrogant and domineering on weekdays, impulsive and unreasonable, and looks like a bandit who has been recruited, but when he really encounters a crisis on the battlefield, the calm and wise side of his character is revealed.

An old rascal who yells at five and drinks six in Chang'an City, is rampant and domineering, has no rules in front of the emperor, and occasionally robs children's things, Li Shimin can pinch his nose and endure him for so many years, after all, he has the ability, otherwise Li Shimin would not have let a waste be arrogant for so many years.

Cheng Biting Jin's ability was completely demonstrated on the battlefield, which was amazing and powerful.

From the passive panic when he was initially attacked, to the order to organize a cavalry formation to counterattack, from the beginning to the end, the disadvantage was reversed in less than half an hour, and Shengsheng turned an attack battle that was about to be defeated on the whole line into a war of annihilation.

This is Cheng Biting Jin's ability, no matter how many people in the court of Chang'an City hate him, scold him and hate him, but his ability is really on him, just with this ability, those who hate him can only hate quietly in the dark corners.

The situation on the battlefield suddenly turned down, the Tang army's forward had completed the encirclement of the enemy, and the black cavalry quickly surrounded the enemy from the east, west, and south, and took advantage of the fact that the enemy had not yet made a timely response, the Tang army in the three directions had been quickly connected, and then slowly advanced towards the enemy.

The enemy army is finally anxious, they may not expect the Tang army's reaction to be so fast, and the military spirit is so stable and tenacious, the battle on the battlefield usually only needs to annihilate a small part of the enemy army, and most of the remaining living enemy troops began to waver, almost no combat effectiveness, but they did not expect the Tang army's military spirit to be so tenacious, not chaotic at all after the attack, and can quickly organize effective resistance and formation, and finally counterattack them......

An army can dominate the world and make the world fearful, and the prestige is not a fluke after all, and the enemy troops surrounded by the Tang army did not realize this until this moment, and they realized what kind of army they were fighting against.

However, it was too late, the Tang army forward had completed the encirclement, the halberd spear shining in the sun was in the hands of the Tang army soldiers, and the war horse under the horse slowly advanced towards the enemy in the encirclement in a slow and steady rhythm.

When the enemy army was still about three miles away, the forward general of the Tang army waved the command flag violently, and tens of thousands of people began to urge their horses in unison, and launched a charge against the enemy troops in the encirclement......

The encircled enemy army also understood their situation at this time, so they quickly assembled in formation under the sharp reprimand of the general, and listed the attack formation like the Tang army.

Cheng Yanjin, who was far away in the Chinese army's formation, squinted, looked at the formation listed by the enemy army, and couldn't help sneering twice.

"The jumping clown still wants to break through? Hehe, waving the command flag, outflanking the left and right armies, attacking from the rear of the enemy, the Chinese army penetrates directly into the front of the enemy, be sure to annihilate it all! ”

The herald rode his horse and quickly passed the order, Cheng Yanjin squinted at the situation on the battlefield, and his eyes showed a strong murderous intent in his eyes.

A lifetime of fighting geese, almost blinded the geese, today was attacked and almost capsized in the gutter, causing his reputation to be damaged, at this moment Cheng Biting Jin's heart is full of shame and anger, defeating is nothing to win, only the total annihilation of this enemy army can eliminate the anger in his heart.

As soon as the military order was handed down, the situation on the battlefield changed again.

The cavalry on the left and right flanks of the Tang army were just about to change their formation and outflank the enemy's rear, but who knew that the enemy army also suddenly changed its formation, and the original attack formation changed in vain, from a whole army suddenly turned into three small armies, and then, each of them rushed towards the Tang army in the same direction.

At this time, the left and right flanks of the Tang army had just changed formations, and a very small gap appeared in the middle of the three directions, which was a gap that must appear when changing formations, but it was this gap that gave the enemy troops in the encirclement a glimmer of life.

The three enemy troops charged towards that gap, the leading Tang army generals couldn't help but be stunned when they saw this, and then they were greatly stunned, and immediately ordered their generals to ride horses to fill the gap, but the fighter plane was fleeting, and the Tang army on the verge of battle did not reach the level of commanding the arm, and the reaction was half a beat slower after all, and when the Tang army quickly approached the gap, nearly half of the enemy army had passed through the gap and escaped from the encirclement of the Tang army, and the remaining more than 2,000 enemy troops were already in a big trend, surrounded by tens of thousands of Tang troops. In the end, there was endless fighting, slaughter......

Cheng Yanjin, who was pressed by the Chinese army, saw all the changes in the situation on the battlefield, and saw that half of the enemy army broke through, Cheng Yanjin's eyes widened, and he let out a surprised "huh", and then showed a thoughtful look.

"Yang Wanchun's subordinates...... It's extraordinary! ”

After a long time, Cheng Bitingjin, who had a complicated expression, burst out of his mouth.

For a veteran general who has been in a hundred battles, it is very rare for him to make such a high evaluation of the enemy.

There was no suspense in the next battle, the fate of more than 2,000 enemy troops who were surrounded by heavy was doomed, a tragic and cruel unilateral massacre began, less than a stick of incense, more than 2,000 enemy troops surrounded by the Tang army were all slaughtered, as for the more than 2,000 enemy troops who broke through and ran away, Cheng Yanjin did not order the pursuit, but let them flee the battlefield in a hurry, after all, today's attack made Cheng Yanjin more vigilant, he still understands the truth of poor Kou Mo chasing, the same place can not fall twice, otherwise it will be stupid and incompetent.

**************************************************************

A passive attack battle, because of the critical dispatch of a battle-hardened commander reversed the situation of defeat, and the next cleaning of the battlefield and camping did not need to be personally worried about Cheng Biting Jin.

When the striker was still on guard and busy, Cheng Yanjin hurriedly galloped towards Li Shimin's tent with his personal guards.

In the tent of the commander of the Chinese army, Li Shimin, who was dressed in a drape, twisted his eyebrows, listened to Cheng Biting Jin's performance, and then fell into deep thought.

"Your Majesty, the scouts under the command of the minister were not effective, and the forward was attacked, and the casualties were quite large, and the minister asked Your Majesty to surrender." Cheng Biting Jin hung his head and said.

Li Shimin smiled: "Zhijie doesn't have to be like this, when you are suddenly attacked, you can be in danger, quickly stabilize your position and military morale, and finally turn defeat into victory, Zhijie, you are clearly a big victory, what is the crime?" ”

Cheng Yanjin sighed and said: "After all, we encountered an ambush, our army suddenly encountered a surprise attack, and lost more than 3,000 soldiers. ”

Li Shimin shook his head and smiled: "There will be casualties in the battle between the two armies, Zhijie is a veteran who has led the troops for many years, why do you blame yourself for this?" And relax, I don't blame you, the fallen soldiers are called for a good life and burial, and the strikers are camped outside the city of Anshi, guarding every move of Yang Wanchun's troops day and night. ”

Cheng bites Jin to receive the order.

Li Shimin looked thoughtful and said: "Zhijie fought with Yang Wanchun today, can you know how powerful Yang Wanchun's troops are?" ”

Cheng Biting Jin hugged his fists and said: "The minister is about to play to His Majesty, Yang Wanchun's soldiers are extraordinary, brave and strategic, and today they are fighting, the enemy army is only more than 10,000, and our army's forward cavalry has 50,000, and our army has an absolute advantage in numbers, but when the battle is engaged, the minister feels extremely difficult, and he can easily annihilate it, but the enemy army is surrounded on all sides The disadvantage actually rebelled, and finally let them break out of the siege with more than 2,000 people......"

Li Shimin showed surprise: "It's so powerful? ”

Cheng Biting Jin nodded solemnly: "This person is a rare enemy that the old minister has encountered in this life, before the war, they set up an ambush in advance, and the soldiers in wartime will go to their lives, even if the whole army is surrounded, they can also make a battle of trapped beasts, try their best to fight for vitality, preserve vitality, and know the generals from the soldiers, Your Majesty, Yang Wanchun This person should not be underestimated, the minister thinks that we should be cautious and cautious when attacking Anshi City, and we should not be a little rash, otherwise the consequences will be very serious." ”

Li Shimin nodded: "What Zhijie said is reasonable, I originally planned to blow up the city wall with earth-shattering thunder tomorrow and quickly conquer this city just like attacking Liaodong City, but looking at the combat strength of Yang Wanchun's soldiers today, I am afraid that this city is not so easy to capture......"

Cheng Yanjin hung his head silently, and at this moment, Li Su's face suddenly flashed in his mind.

Li Su said in front of him several times that he was not optimistic about the Eastern Expedition, and he thought that Li Shimin had made many mistakes in this battle, and the final result might be more pessimistic, originally Cheng Biting Jin did not agree with Li Su's opinion very much, and all the senior generals of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty has won too many battles over the years, and Cheng Biting Jin has unconsciously become a little arrogant, and gradually does not take the enemies of the world in his eyes, so Li Su reminded him many times that he should not be contemptuous of the enemy army of Goguryeo, Cheng Biting Jin agreed, but he didn't attach too much importance to it in his heart.

But after a diplomatic battle with Yang Wanchun's department in Anshi City today, Cheng Biting Jin found that Li Su's words were not unreasonable, just today's battle, Cheng Biting Jin, as the boss, can clearly feel the pressure from the enemy, 50,000 people against 10,000 people, obviously have an absolute advantage in the force, but in the end they did not achieve the result that they wanted to annihilate it completely, but they ran more than 2,000 people, so to speak, the enemy is not simple, in terms of combat power and strategy, the enemy army in Anshi City is not slightly worse than the Tang Army.

It is no wonder that the former Sui conquered Goguryeo many times, and each time they were defeated, the army of Goguryeo is really powerful, and he originally thought that he would be sure of nine out of ten, but Cheng Yanjin began to be unsure of the victory or defeat of the Eastern Crusade for the first time in his heart at this moment.

In the handsome tent, the monarchs and ministers had their own thoughts, and they were silent for a long time, Li Shimin suddenly sighed softly, and said: "In any case, when attacking the city tomorrow, let's try it with the earth-shaking thunder first......"

Cheng Yanjin nodded helplessly.

Li Shimin suddenly smiled bitterly: "To be honest, if even a sharp weapon like the earth-shaking thunder is helpless to take Anshi City, I really can't think of a better way to capture it, perhaps, Li Su is right, the country of Goguryeo...... I have indeed underestimated the enemy. ”

Cheng Yanjin said with a smile: "It's not too late to make amends, Li Su's baby still has some skills, let's listen to his words." ”

Li Shimin smiled bitterly: "Li Su opposes me attacking Anshi City, according to his meaning, after conquering Liaodong City, he should divide his troops to attack, I refute his advice, now I think about it is a little rash, but now I have come to this point, if I regret it is too late, besides, I still feel that the chances of winning without dividing the army are greater, Zhijie try to imagine, if we capture Anshi City with absolute superiority of troops this time, the entire Goguryeo will have no strong opponent to compete with our Wang Shi, in our eyes, Goguryeo is a smooth road, just waiting for the Wang Shi to receive, The soldiers can go all the way east to Pyongyang, the capital city, and it can be said that Anseong City is the last fortified city of Goguryeo conquered by our royal division, and as long as it can be defeated, everything will be worry-free. If it is a division of troops, there are too many unknowable accidents, and I dare not take this risk......"

Cheng Biting Jin opened his mouth to speak, but looking at Li Shimin's stubborn expression, he finally stopped talking.

There are many choices that no one can know whether they are right or wrong in advance, and Cheng Yanjin doesn't know either, so he doesn't know what to say, but he faintly feels in his heart that Li Shimin's choice may not be so correct, but this unwarranted premonition can't be spoken.

**********************************************************************

In the evening, all the Tang troops were already in place, and all of them camped in the village thirty miles outside the city of Anshi, burying pots and cooking rice.

The camp of more than 200,000 people was vast and stretched for dozens of miles, and dozens of scout squads were released outside the camp to roam outside the city of Anshi for investigation.

After dinner, all the officers and men of the army sharpened their swords in the camp tent and prepared for the siege of the city the next day.

After the failure of the ambush against Cheng Yanjin's department during the day today, Yang Wanchun, the city lord of Anshi, did not make any moves, and the city was as quiet as an empty city, only the flags flying high at the head of the city and the enemy soldiers patrolling were still telling the Tang army that this was a fortified city with swords out of the sheath and waiting for them.

Li Su only learned the news of Cheng Bitingjin's attack in the evening, and after listening to the battle process that the subordinates heard, Li Su's heart became heavier and heavier, and he paced back and forth in the camp tent for a long time, and finally decided to go to the Chinese army to talk to Cheng Bitingjin.

Because of the division of troops, Li Su and Li Shimin had a very unpleasant quarrel, so Li Su rarely got close to the Chinese army, especially far away from Li Shimin's handsome tent, he didn't want to see his nasty face, he was annoyed when he saw it, and he didn't dare to smoke him, and in the end he was suffocated.

Cheng Yanjin was still in the Chinese army and was about to return to the forward camp, and Li Su found him in Niu Jinda's camp tent.

When he walked into the camp, Cheng Yanjin and Niu Jinda were chatting happily, and when Li Su came in, Cheng Yanjin laughed and said: "The baby came by chance, and he was talking to Lao Niu about you......"

Li Su was stunned for a moment: "You won't be saying bad things about me, right?" The kid has been very honest lately, and I'm going to fight back when he says bad things about me......"

Cheng Yanjin glanced at him: "How are you going to fight back?" ”

“…… Of course, I'm also saying bad things about you behind my back, such as the girl in the green building not giving money or something after sleeping in the green building. Li Su said with a smile.

Cheng Yanjin laughed and said: "What kind of bad words are this, it is obviously the truth." ”

Li Su: "............"

You can't underestimate the bottom line of the old rascal's character, think about it carefully, he is really likely to do this, and he is not ashamed, but proud.

Niu Jinda is still not in a good mood, after being ambushed by Gao Huizhen last time, Niu Jinda's whole person is not good, and he has been deeply guilty of the more than 20,000 soldiers who died in his heart, and of course his mood has been low until now. Li Su and Cheng Yanjin joked with each other, and Niu Jinda only pulled the corners of his mouth, which was a very face-saving smile.

Cheng Biting Jin stroked his messy beard, pointed at Niu Jinda and said: "Your Uncle Niu has been very annoyed recently, and I have nothing to do to come over to accompany him, I want Lao Cheng to say, we old immortals have fought a lifetime of war, who hasn't been unlucky?" Defeat is defeat, this defeat is the next time, what is a defeat? Look at my Lao Cheng today, if it weren't for my luck, the enemy army that ambushed me was only 10,000 people, but I am afraid that I will be defeated like you, but fortunately they are few, I can calmly dispatch, and turn defeat into victory, which can be regarded as my Lao Cheng's luck. ”

Niu Jinda snorted: "What is personal honor and disgrace? The old man is sorry for the more than 20,000 soldiers who died in battle, more than 20,000 people...... In the future, when the class teacher returns to the court, teach me what face I have to face the wives and children of these soldiers? ”

Niu Jinda's face became gloomy again.

Li Su thought for a while and said: "Uncle Niu, it is a fact that more than 20,000 soldiers have died in battle, and I hope that Uncle Niu will see some of them, the matter has come to this point, and he has no power to return to the sky. ”

Cheng Yanjin nodded and smiled: "What the baby said is reasonable, Lao Niu, no matter how hypocritical it is, the husband of the seven-foot man, he is so cowardly when he loses the battle, and the apostate juniors see the joke, it's almost enough, hurry up and go to the handsome tent to ask Your Majesty for battle, and say that tomorrow you will attack Anshi City, fight for a chance to lead the troops in front of Your Majesty, let go of your hands and feet to fight, so as to atone for your guilt, and still be a good man." ”

Li Su and Cheng Yanjin took turns to persuade for a long time, and Niu Jinda's face gradually relaxed, although there was still sadness in his eyes, but his expression already had a bit of fighting spirit.

Seeing that Niu Jinda had cheered up, Li Su and Cheng Yanjin glanced at each other, and then exchanged smiles.

Pointing at Li Su, Cheng Biting Jin said, "By the way, are you looking for Lao Niu or me?" ”

Li Su then remembered the purpose of this trip, and hurriedly said: "Look for them, two uncles, the kid heard that Uncle Cheng was attacked outside the city today, and he has some ideas......

Cheng Yanjin waved his hand: "If you have an idea, just say it, the old man still values your words, Lao Niu didn't take your words too seriously, so he planted a big heel, the old man is different from him......"

Li Su looked at him speechlessly.

This old thing, knowing that Niu Jinda is uncomfortable now, you still come to make up for it, is it a pig teammate with an unintentional mouth, or is it a disgusting person? nt
