Wu Geqi, Zhu Di, Li Yuan, and Ping'an successively pulled out their camps and marched in the direction of Gubeikou. But these people are all battle-hardened generals, so Ugqi soon discovered Zhu Di's tailgating, and at the same time, Zhu Di also discovered Li Yuan's tailgating, but they all tacitly pretended not to know.

There were a small number of left-behind personnel in Zhu Di's camp, but it may have been Zhu Di's prior explanation, when Zhang Hantian appeared outside the camp, they did not resist, but obediently opened the camp gate. After Zhang Hantian drove it out, he immediately set the camp on fire, and at the same time lit the camp of Ugqi. The firelight in the sky illuminated the night sky of Beiping, and Zhu Di, who was traveling north, glanced back, scolded hatefully, and immediately arranged for his subordinates to calm the emotions of his subordinates.

Ping'an was very cautious, he carried three hundred Wugang chariots along the way, so that the infantry could rest in the cars in turn, and his cavalry kept in touch with Li Yuan at any time, and Li Yuan also kept Ping'an's orders in mind and kept a distance not far from Zhu Di.

The morning star in the east was rising, Li Yuan looked at the messenger in front of the horse, and said with a smile: "Yanshu people asked me to speed up and ambush the Mongol army before dawn?" ”

"Yes."

"No, General Ben has received an order to follow you and wait until you attack the Mongol army, and then make plans."

"What?" The envoy was in a hurry: "Doesn't the general still believe in the sincerity of my lord?" ”

"Yes." Li Yuan smiled coldly.

The envoy was angry, pointed at Li Yuan, and said loudly: "Okay, my prince will attack the Mongolian army immediately, I hope the general can keep up, if you sit back and watch my prince die in battle, the court will not let you go." ”

"Haha," Li Yuan looked up to the sky and snorted: "The emperor has a will, killing the Yanshu people can be established and sealed as a marquis, can the Yanshu people still think that they are the princes?" ”

"Could it be that the general sits back and watches the Mongol army flee, and the imperial court doesn't care?" The envoy said excitedly: "The sky will soon dawn, and the Mongolian army will inevitably speed up at that time, and it will not take an hour to arrive at Gubeikou, the defenders of Gubeikou are less than 5,000, how can they resist the offensive of 100,000 Mongolian troops?" Li Yuan, you can think clearly! With that, the messenger brushed his sleeves away.

When the envoy left, the deputy generals Wang Zhong and Long Qicheng came over, and Long Qicheng hesitated: "General, what this envoy said is also reasonable, if you sit back and watch the Mongolian army leave, the court will definitely punish the general." ”

"Yes, General, think twice!" Wang Zhong also said.

Li Yuan took a breath, clenched his fist with his right hand, looked at the messenger galloping on his horse, and suddenly said, "What if it's a trap?" The Yanshu and Mongols allied forces had 120,000, but our army was only 20,000, and once they fell into the trap, it would be the end of the annihilation of the entire army. ”

"The emperor will definitely understand my distress, General Sheng retreated that day, and the emperor did not punish him."

"Well, yes!" Wang Zhong muttered, and then said, "What should I do then?" ”

"Wang Zhong!"

"In!"

"You lead five thousand cavalry, retreat five miles, monitor at any time, if it is a trap, then you don't care about General Ben, and immediately go back to report to General Ping."

"No, General, I can't watch you die!"

"Needless to say, General Ping'an has already made arrangements for this situation, and Yan Yan is here to do this, and we are waiting for the emperor's favor, how can we cower and move forward? Execute the command! ”

"Yes!"

After Zhu Di asked Li Yuan's reaction, he sneered: "Where is Ping An now?" ”

"About twenty miles behind our army, he brought a large number of Wuhan Iron and Steel vehicles, and he moved slowly."

"Oh, this peace is very cautious." Zhu Di smiled slightly, and said loudly: "Chen Xuan, order the army to advance immediately and slam the flank of the Mongolian army!" ”

"Huh?" Chen Xuan was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood: "The subordinates obey the order." ”

Li Yuan saw the Yan army suddenly accelerate, gritted his teeth, and ordered the army to follow immediately. After Li Yuan and the others walked three or four miles, the sky had begun to brighten, and they could see the Yan army rushing towards the Mongolian army frantically, although the Mongolian army was caught off guard, but immediately launched a counterattack, and for a while the sound of killing and screaming suddenly sounded, and the Mongolian army also began to stir.

But Li Yuan was still unmoved, he had been carefully observing the actions of both sides, and after a while, the Mongol army turned back and surrounded the Yan army. Now that the Mongol army is encircling the Yan army, if you can strike from the flank, even if you can't win a big victory, you can still get a lot of gains.

Suddenly, from the encirclement of the Mongol army, five war horses rushed out, and the first person was the messenger just now, his face was red, his beard was open, and he shouted: "General Li, our army has fallen into a heavy siege, how can you see death and not save it?" ”

Li Yuan was about to answer, but found that the five messengers on the opposite side took out crossbow arrows from their arms at the same time and fired them at him. Li Yuan didn't have time to dodge, so he couldn't help but close his eyes and said in his heart: "It's over!" I still fell for the tricks of the swallow thief. At this moment, Li Yuan felt that he had been hit hard, fell to the ground with his head, and then was pressed to the ground by a person, and couldn't help but let out an "ahh Li Yuan's guards were shocked, and hurriedly rushed up, dismembering Zhu Di's envoy and others with knives, and at the same time helping Li Yuan up.

Li Yuan shook his head and found that it was his deputy general Long Qicheng, with several crossbow arrows stuck in his body. Li Yuan immediately understood that it was Long Qicheng who pushed himself off the horse, saved himself, and was hit by a crossbow arrow. He hurriedly hugged Long Qicheng: "Qicheng, Qicheng, how are you?" ”

Long Qicheng smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "General, I can't do it, this crossbow arrow is poisonous." ”

Only then did Li Yuan realize that all the wounds on Long Qicheng's body were flowing out of black blood, and he couldn't help gritting his teeth: "Damn, Yanshu, I have to chop you." As he spoke, he called out to the doctor.

Long Qicheng grabbed Li Yuan's hand and said in a weak voice: "General, go quickly!" Come on! It's a trap! ”

Li Yuan looked up and found that the encirclement of the Mongolian army on the opposite side was open, and the Yan army rushed towards him unscathed. Li Yuan shouted: "Pass the order, retreat immediately, and join General Ping'an!" Looking down at Long Qicheng again, he found that Long Qicheng had closed his eyes and his head hung weakly.

Li Yuan was extremely angry, but he knew that he had to stay calm, he handed Long Qicheng's body to the guards beside him with tears in his eyes, and said, "If anything happens, you must bring General Long's body back, understand?" ”

"Understood!"

Li Yuan fought and retreated, and at the same time ordered Wang Zhong to go and pray for peace, which was a trap.

But soon Li Yuan couldn't stop it, because Ugqi's army also caught up, and Li Yuan saw that he couldn't do anything, so he had to flee desperately.

In the Mongol army, the generals surrounded Ugqi, and strangely no one spoke, just stared at him. Seeing this, Wu Geqi smiled lightly and said: "Everyone, this is King Yan's suggestion, but this Taishi thinks it is feasible, our two armies are combined, and it is not difficult to destroy peace in the field, and King Yan has other arrangements, which can be taken into account, you don't need to be nervous at all." ”

"In addition, even if King Yan is defeated, it will be too late for us to turn around and pounce on Gubeikou."

"It's just that I didn't tell you in advance that this master is here to make amends to you." Ugzi arched his hand around.

Seeing Ugqi's low profile, everyone looked at each other, and it was hard to say anything, Ugqi was not only the commander of the army, but also the great leader of the four tribes of Warat, and the great master of the Great Mongolia.

However, after a while, Arutai said: "Taishi, for the sake of safety, the last general is willing to lead the troops to conquer Gubeikou and keep my back road unblocked, and even summon the elite soldiers outside the pass to wipe out the army of the imperial court in one fell swoop, even the Yan King ......" Arutai said this, and waved his right palm down heavily.

Ugqi hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, but I can only give you 10,000 people, and after the settlement is safe, this Taishi will immediately give you reinforcements." ”

"Yes!" Arutai hesitated, but still gave up his order.
