Dou Jiande was not far away, and he could hear it clearly. I saw a general in the Tang Army, Panlong Golden Helmet, Qilin Armor, Green Horse under the Crotch, Holding a Bow in Hand, Divine Shooting Unparalleled, indeed like that Li Shimin!

Dou Jiande was also excited and excited at this time, Li Shimin really came! It's a matter of success or failure! Just kill him, or capture him! Victory is in sight!

He shouted, "Someone! Send me another 3,000 elite soldiers to capture Li Shimin alive! Life to see people, death to see corpses! Those who capture Li Shimin alive will be rewarded with ten thousand gold! Seal the marquis of a thousand households! Whoever takes his head will be rewarded together! ”

There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, and the opportunity to ascend to the sky in one step is in front of him, and the eyes of the soldier Xia are red because of the reward stimulated by Dou Jiande. One by one, they urged the horses to dance with knives, howling excitedly.

The two sides strangled together, the Xuanjia Army aimed at Dou Jiande's Chinese army Daxu and kept charging and charging, while the Xia army aimed at curbing the Xuanjia Army's charging footsteps, and the tide continued to kill the black Tang army.

For a time, the shouting of killing shook the sky, and soldiers on both sides continued to be injured and fell off their horses. However, the elite soldiers and strong generals of the Tang camp are ahead of the Xia army in terms of morale, training, and equipment, and there are unparalleled fierce generals such as Wei Chigong, Cheng Yanjin, and Qin Qiong to open the way. Although the number of Xia troops has increased several times, the Xuanjia army is like an unstoppable black dragon, roaring and turning into the air, surrounded by the tide of Xia army, riding the wind and waves, and rushing forward slowly but firmly.

Since Li Shimin revealed his identity, the battle situation has entered a white-hot state in an instant, with blood splattered and stumps in the air. The sound of shouting and killing, the sound of blade collision, the wail of death, and the mournful cry of the ownerless war horse are endless. The soldiers on both sides are red-eyed, you stab me with a spear, I will give you a knife back, or you will fall off the horse with a hug, roll all the way, bite with your teeth, pinch with your hands, and try everything to kill the enemy!

Looking at the battlefield in front of him, Dou Jiande was also hesitant at this time, he still had 6,000 elite soldiers, should he send them all?

If you can destroy the Tang army in one go, it's fine, but if it doesn't work, there will be no more soldiers to send around you in a short time. Well, it's better to wait, wait for the Tang army to consume some more physical strength, and then the whole army will press on it, and finish it in one battle!

Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly rode a horse and galloped to report "Report!" The king, the rear army came to report, and the birds were found hovering in the dense forest in the east, and they did not fall for a long time, and the shadows in the forest seemed to be the ambush of the Tang camp! The rear army even sent three waves of scouts and cavalry, but they didn't come back! ”

"Huh?" When Dou Jiande heard the news, his heart seemed to be a little more relaxed, and the boulder fell to the ground.

Dou Jiande and Li Shimin are like two gamblers playing with each other at this time, Dou Jiande has strong troops and shows his hole cards. And Li Shimin is not dominant at this time, fortunately, the hole cards have not been opened. Until the final moment, the outcome is still unknown.

Dou Jiande felt that at this moment, he had insight into Li Shimin's overall plan.

Originally, he felt that with Li Shimin's cunning, he should not dare to face the advance of 100,000 troops just by relying on such a small number of troops, which was obviously sending him to death, which was extremely stupid.

Sure enough, he also arranged a backhand, wanting to wait for us to take my back road when the war was stalemate, causing our army to collapse. Hmph, thanks to the crash for me, I can prepare early. The ambush soldiers were ambushed, and I want to see what tricks you Li Shimin has to play!

Thinking of this, Dou Jiande looked up to the sky and laughed, "Hahahaha!" Li Shimin's child is a good wishful thinking! I don't want to be broken by me! It looks like God is on my side! I'm the one who is destined to be! Come on! Give me an order to Zeng Shou, hold the rear army steadily, and not march easily. As for the ambush in the forest, Duan Hong! I'll give you 3,000 elite horsemen, and you must destroy the enemy in the future!" ”

"Whoa!" The herald received the order, beat the horse and galloped away.

"Whoa! The king can rest assured, if he does not completely annihilate the enemy army, the last general will not return to the camp! Duan Hong clenched his fists, ordered three thousand men and horses, and went straight to the ambush site mentioned by the rear army.

Duan Hong, the general of the Xia army, led 3,000 men and horses, and after getting the general's order, he went straight to the rear army without stopping.

The rear army is a group of recruits who have not seen blood and have been on the battlefield. Therefore, it was deliberately arranged by Dou Jiande at the end, so as not to be stimulated by the bloody battlefield when the battle with the Tang Army was fierce, and the recruits would have a mental breakdown and affect the overall situation.

Duan Hong led 3,000 elite cavalry to the rear army, and when he saw the commander of the rear army, he asked with a slashed face, "Where is the ambush of the Tang army?" Is there any movement? ”

Zeng Shou, the commander of the Hou army, knew that he was a confidant of King Xia, and he was just a new army commander, so how dare he slack off, pointed to the direction with his finger, and replied, "It is two miles east of the army, in the dense forest." ”

Duan Hong raised his eyes and saw that the east and south of the rear army were full of leafy and tall trees, and he wondered, "Why are you sure that the ambush is in the east and not in the south?" The dense forests to the south are higher and more sparsely wooded, making them more suitable for cavalry assaults, and the position is directly opposite the rear army. If I were the commander of the Tang Army, I would have set up an ambush here again, and if I were unprepared to attack him, I would only need a few hundred cavalry to cut off the rear army. ”

Zeng Shou replied respectfully, "What the general said also makes sense. However, General Duan, please see, although the terrain in the south is higher, it is easy to ambush soldiers, but the silence in the forest is as usual, and on the other hand, in the dense forest in the east, the birds in the forest are innumerable, circling around the trees, and they do not fall for a long time. I sent three waves of sentry cavalry in a row to the east to investigate, but they were not returned, thinking that they were captured by the Tang army and encountered an accident. So I dare to assert that the ambush is set to the east! ”

"Huh?" Duan Hong looked at it according to his words, and sure enough, as he said, Duan Hong nodded and said, "Yo, that's really the case!" Count you kid still a little bit capable. Come on, let's go to the east to meet the Tang army for a while! With that, he led three thousand elite horsemen and hurried to the east.

"Phew! What is it! Just these two moments, I am embarrassed to claim to be familiar with military affairs! Zeng Shou saw that Duan Hong was leading the troops far away, so he secretly took a sip. Then his face sank, and he shouted and scolded at a group of rear soldiers who were also dissatisfied with Duan Hong, "Didn't you hear the military order from King Xia before!" Stand up for me! Fuck it! If you hadn't been a ghost, you wouldn't have been able to go to the battlefield! As for Lao Tzu's bird's breath of that macro? ”

That paragraph Hong listened to Zeng Shou's words and was reasonable, and he did not doubt him. Before coming to the dense forest, I carefully observed the forest, and it was indeed a bird that flew and hovered.

The trees in the forest are layered on top of each other, and the branches and leaves are dense, and it is difficult to see really, but when you listen closely, there seems to be a faint sound of someone shouting and neighing.

Duan Hong was also very cautious. I sent a few sentries to investigate, but after waiting for a while, there was still no news.

Fifty more people were sent into the forest again, and not long after entering this time, the sound of shouting and killing was heard much more really, and it was not great, and only half of the more than fifty horsemen fled back in confusion.

"What's going on in the woods? How many ambushes are there? Duan Hong hurriedly asked.

The twenty-odd horsemen were wounded, and replied embarrassedly, "General, the trees are dense, the vision is not good, and the shadows are so good that I can't see how many people and horses there are." However, not long after I entered, I found the dead body of the previous sentry horseman, and was about to dismount to see, but I heard a shout, dozens of Tang soldiers turned out from behind the tree, drew their bows and released arrows, and dozens of horsemen outflanked from behind. ”

"Huh?" Duan Hong's eyebrows tightened, thinking to himself. The Tang army had few soldiers, and even if there were ambush soldiers, at best, they would only be three or five hundred men. I have 3,000 elite horses here, is it because they dare not rush out and want to rely on the dense woods to deal with me?

Thinking of this, Duan Hong waved his hand and ordered, "Someone!" Leave me 500 cavalry to guard the forest, and follow the rest into the forest. The forest is dense, so you need to be careful and be careful of ambushes! ”

Leaving a few hundred people to guard outside, Duan Hong drove more than 2,000 horses into the forest, cautiously along the way, and tried many times.

walked a few hundred steps away, but still did not see the shadow of the Tang army. Duan Hong felt strange in his heart, called a few sentry agents who escaped before, and asked, "Where were you ambushed before?" ”

The detectives took a closer look at the surrounding terrain and replied, "It's not far ahead, past that dead wood." ”

Duan Hong waved his hand, and the Xia army sent a sentry of more than 100 horsemen to drive the horses to check.

Just as he was about to approach the dead tree, suddenly a whistle sounded, and dozens of Tang soldiers flashed out from behind the trees on the left and right, raising their bows and shooting.

With mental calculation or unintentional, Xia Jun was shot dead twenty or thirty people in a hurry.

After a round of arrow rain, he shot down dozens of Xia soldiers, turned around, and disappeared behind a tree.

Duan Hong was furious and shouted, "Good thief! Run there! "Send men to chase after them. At first, you could still see the figure of the Tang army, but there were many trees in the forest, the direction was indistinguishable, and the terrain was unfamiliar.

Duan Hong had no choice but to suppress the anger in his heart. The location is unfamiliar, lest one might as well fall into the Tang Army's ambush plot. Only score and send people to search around.

Suddenly, a summer soldier shouted, "Here! Discover the Don Army! There are quite a few people! ”

Duan Hong's spirits perked up, and he gathered his soldiers and horses and hurried towards the sound, but he saw that the trees in front of him were dense and dense, and the sun was covered with thick greenery, and it was dark and unknown. But you can still see the shadows and shadows, about one or two hundred horsemen, standing in the dense forest.

The trees were dense and the enemy situation was unknown, and Duan Hong did not dare to enter easily, lest he fall into the trap of the Tang army.

Duan Hong had a plan, and raised his voice to ask, "Wu Na Tang Bing!" It can be seen that your sneak attack and ambush methods have long been known to my Xia King! Your Qin King Li Shimin is surrounded by tens of thousands of legions at this time, and his life is only in an instant! I advise you to behave for yourselves, and surrender as soon as possible is the right way! Don't be stubborn! ”

Duan Hong's purpose in saying this was twofold, one was that according to what he thought, the Tang army was found in ambush, and he must be at a loss, and the army was in turmoil. Second, if the other party refuses to surrender, as long as they respond loudly, it will expose the virtual and real position, and then they will either fire arrows or continue to provoke each other, leading them out of the dense forest to fight again.

But after Duan Hong's impassioned persuasion was finished, the Tang army on the opposite side still did not move.

In the dense forest, the Tang army did not say a word, as if determined to fight to the death. Only the war horses snorted uneasily, the horses' hooves scraped the ground impatiently, and the atmosphere was suddenly solemn.

Seeing Tang Bing like this, it is not possible not to fight. Duan Hong saw that there was no reaction from the other side, and made a decision in his heart. The back of his hand shook from side to side behind him, signaling the Xia cavalry to follow his orders.

The cavalry of the Xia army is the elite of Dou Jiande, seeing the general doing this, he has already understood it, and the two thousand cavalry scattered, surrounded the Tang army in the forest in a half-moon shape, secretly bent his bow and arrows, and aimed at the Tang army in the forest.

Duan Hong was still "bitterly talking" to persuade Tang Jun, and when he caught a glimpse of Xia Jun getting ready, he suddenly shouted, "Since you don't listen to good advice!" Then die! As soon as the hand was raised, more than 2,000 people fired arrows in unison, only to hear the sound of "poof" into the flesh endlessly, and the war horses screamed sadly.

Then the Xia army shouted in unison, "Kill!" "Riding a horse and lifting a spear, he went straight to the Tang army in the forest.
