"My lord, the forward General Li has already crossed the canal. Yang Xingmi and Li Jipeng urgently led the army from Yingzhou directly back to Yangzhou on the way, and the forward sentinel urgently reported to Malai.

"Military advisor, immediately send someone to let Yuan Xi send troops to follow, and let Li Shenfu leave it alone so much and lead the army to attack Sun Ru's camp." After Yang Xingmi gave the order, he smiled at Li Jipeng beside him and said: "Brother Jipeng, I heard that Chang'an has been prosperous in the past under the painstaking management of General Tiance, I wonder if my brother can introduce us to these soil buns?" ”

Yang Xingmi's words conveyed several meanings, and even Dai Yougui, who had just finished conveying the military order, couldn't help but prick up his ears and wait for the other party to answer. However, Li Jipeng smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Marshal, you asked the wrong person in this sentence." Although Ji Peng was born in Guanzhong, he left Chang'an to go to Shuzhong after he returned to the lord, and later Sichuan Guangfu was promoted to the head of the Xuanying Wei branch of Jiangnan Province because of his slight merit. Although this was a promotion, but after the war continued, he never took care of returning to Chang'an to report on his work. So, this Jipeng really can't answer you. ”

Li Jipeng glanced at the eyes of Yang Xingmi and the generals around him, and said with a smile: "But don't worry, Dashuai and you, after this battle, I think my lord will personally come to Huainan to talk with Dashuai and talk about future events. And I heard that the Ministry of Civil Affairs is already working on the construction of a railway from Chang'an to Dongdu, so we can start from Luoyang and arrive in Chang'an in two days. ”

"That's what my brother said. It's just that Huainan is just a trivial matter and the general Tiance came in person, Hua Yuan was deeply disturbed, and after this battle, he personally went to Chang'an to meet him. Yang Xingmi nodded and smiled after listening to Li Jipeng's words.

"If that's the case, you have to prepare some gifts or something, a few days ago, Xuanying Wei Chang'an sent a letter from the base camp, Mrs. Tiance is already pregnant, and the delivery date is around August, this is a great joy, Dashuai, you can't prepare some gifts." Li Jipeng said with a smile.

"Haha, this is really a great joy, don't worry, brother, Huayuan remembers, thank you for reminding." Yang Xingmi laughed, and quickly walked forward.

Yang Xingmi's side asked the main force to speed up, but Li Shenfu's forward battalion had already crossed the canal upstream of Yangzhou and began to make final preparations, but at this time, his whereabouts had also been exposed to Sun Ru. Originally, Sun Ru was very worried that Yang Xing would copy his back road if he couldn't attack the city, so he sent countless spies to spy on the dynamics in the direction of Yingzhou, and the manpower equipped by Xuan Yingwei was not able to encircle and suppress these spies at all.

However, Li Shenfu didn't take Sun Ru seriously, almost everyone in Huainan and other places gritted their teeth for this Qin Zongquan, in the final analysis, it was related to a bad habit passed down by Qin Zongquan, Sun Ru's troops had very little military food, and if the food was not good in the war, it would be to arrest the people and use human flesh as military food. This is also the reason why the area ruled by Qin Zongquan before was uninhabited for thousands of miles. Even Zhu Quanzhong, who exterminated Qin Zongquan, couldn't help but curse these guys to go to hell after death when he entered Caizhou, and the entire Caizhou and other places were almost eaten up by Qin Zongquan's troops.

Li Shenfu concentrated the most elite 3,000 cavalry of the Huainan Army as the vanguard, and personally led the lead to rush towards the city of Yangzhou. Li Shenfu is a general like Wang Yanzhang, and charging into battle is almost his favorite thing to do, so he doesn't take Sun Ru's troops in his eyes at all, seeing the opponent's soldiers and horses driving out of the camp one after another, he couldn't help but sneer, his right hand was raised high, and the cavalry troops behind him accelerated suddenly, and he rushed into the opponent's big array with the barbaric extreme, and stabbed the iron spear in his hand hard, instantly breaking through the defensive shield prepared by the other party and entering the big array.

Li Shenfu, who entered the crowd, was almost possessed by Li Cunxiao at this moment, and there was almost no enemy wherever the spear in his hand went, and the three Sun Ru generals who came to besiege were swept off their horses within one move, and the cavalry of three thousand people roared past, and the people killed the horses and trampled Sun Ru's army upside down.

Ancient China has always lacked war horses, and the three thousand cavalry of the Huainan Army are still the strongest capital that Yang Xingmi has tried his best to come up with, at this time, under the leadership of Li Shenfu, a fierce general, the power is infinitely magnified, and Sun Ru's troops don't even have many tower shields, how can they block the other party's cluster charge? The Huainan army relied on this barbaric impact to forcibly open a passage from Sun Ru's camp to connect Yangzhou City. The defenders in the city were also demoralized after seeing Li Shenfu's banner, and the defender Feng Hongduo dispatched the reserve to lower the moat and drawbridge to rush against Sun Ru's camp, and the two sides worked together to gallop across Sun Ru's camp of nearly 70,000 people, and there was no hindrance.

Sun Ru saw Li Shenfu's arrogant appearance in the Chinese army, but the troops sent up were unable to fight with the other party, and Li Shenfu, who was fighting more and more, did not have any scruples at all, relying on his own cavalry, he forced Sun Ru's troops to retreat step by step, and forced him to retreat twenty miles from Yangzhou City before being shot by the opponent's archers.

At this time, not waiting for Feng Hongduo and Li Shenfu to join the division, the other horses of the forward battalion of the Huainan Army also followed, in order to expand the results of the battle, Li Shenfu directly combined the infantry and Feng Hongduo to attack Sun Ru from the front, and led his cavalry to flank Sun Ru's right flank, so that Sun Ru's soldiers and horses retreated even in battle, and there was no time to organize an effective defense, and it was often the soldiers who had just retreated that were restrained by the generals Li Shenfu's cavalry rushed over again. This is the situation that the opponent is most afraid of on the battlefield, the opponent does not give you time to organize the formation at all, and after the defeat of the chaotic army, it will impact your own camp, thus forming a chain effect. For a general like Li Shenfu, who has grown from a small to a big one, he hardly needs any summary, and he knows what to do with his intuition cultivated over many years of life and death.

Feng Hongduo immediately understood this guy's thoughts when he saw Li Shenfu's actions, and hurriedly urged the whole army of men and horses in his hands to be staked, and he wanted to take advantage of the chaos of the other party being attacked by the cavalry, otherwise when Sun Ru reacted, today's results would be greatly reduced, so in order to impact Sun Ru's big array, Feng Hongduo even transferred all the Yangzhou defenders out, and sent someone to urgently notify Yang Xingmi to speed up. These two bold guys actually fought the idea of getting more than 70,000 people on the other side in a war.

However, from the current situation, this method does have the possibility of realization, if Sun Ru can not stabilize the situation, then as time goes by, the Huainan army, whose morale is getting higher and higher, will inevitably rely on high morale and hatred for Sun Ru's army to close the gap between the two sides in numbers, and completely collapse the increasingly chaotic Sun Ru army.

However, the thoughts of the two of them have always been in the eyes of Sun Ru, Sun Ru's ability to mix to today's status is still very good, as a powerful general in the later period of Qin Zongquan, his grasp of the battlefield situation can be described as meticulous. So naturally I also understood the current situation, so almost without thinking, I began to let my personal guards begin to act as a military justice team, and returned to the front line with bright swords and guns against those chaotic soldiers, and killed all the soldiers who dared not carry out military orders. In this way, the pressure on Li Shenfu and Feng Hongduo gradually increased, and the disparity of nearly six to one made the Huainan army unbearable after the opponent relied on killing to deter and stabilize the formation, although Li Shenfu relied on his personal peerless force and the sharp combat power of the cavalry corps to continue to ravage Sun Ru's flank defense line, but Feng Hongduo's front could not be dealt with after a steady stream of opponents poured up.

"Quickly inform General Feng and let him lead his troops back to the city, and the black clouds will be cut off with me." Li Shenfu led the cavalry to rush out of Sun Ru's encirclement and return to the front, and began to arrange a retreat. After he led the cavalry to break off in person, although the Sun Ru army that rushed up was endless, it was never able to break through Li Shenfu's defense line, but was seized by Li Shenfu and killed three generals in a row before slowly leading the army to stand in front of Sun Ru's camp five miles outside the city.

Sun Ru looked at the other party's cavalry and Li Shenfu's arrogant arrogance, but he was helpless, the young cavalry in the south, his subordinates estimated that they couldn't even get together the cavalry of five hundred people, and even if they were together, it was estimated that they would have no other meaning than to give away their heads in the face of Li Shenfu. Therefore, after a moment of confrontation between the two armies, the troops were withdrawn and re-encamped.

However, after Sun Ru saw Li Shenfu, he knew that Yang Xingmi's main army had already turned around, and at this time, there was no point in Yangzhou City, and even his own guard army could not keep it. You must know that Sun Ru at this time is a little different from the scene in the parallel world, after Zhu Quanzhong occupied Xuzhou, he and Yang Xingmi were suppressed and blockaded at the beginning, if it wasn't for the Tiance army pressing too tightly in the north, it is estimated that they would have gone south directly from Xuzhou to destroy the two of them.

Just when Sun Ru was considering whether to withdraw his troops, Yang Xingmi's main force had also crossed the canal and appeared in Yangzhou. However, Yang Xingmi was unwilling to let go of Sun Ru at this time, and after discussing with Li Jipeng and Dai Yougui, he left Feng Hongduo and Liu Wei to lead 20,000 troops to conquer the remaining small forces such as Pei Yili and Xu Shichun in Huainan, and he led the main force to follow Sun Ru's army. And let Li Shenfu once again lead the black cloud capital to ride up, catch up with Sun Ru and entangle with him.

The two armies stopped and stopped on the road from Yangzhou to Chuzhou, almost all the way to fight, there was no intention to stop, and although Yang Xingmi's Huainan army was weak and not suitable for long-distance marching, but in such a good situation, it was able to run at a good speed and caught up with Sun Ru in Huaiyin on July 15, 891, and the two sides started a big battle outside Huaiyin City. Because the two sides were in contact with each other in the evening, Yang Xingmi in order to pursue the initiative of the battle, directly started the night battle, with the army lit countless torches to illuminate the night sky, after a torch in the hands of the Huainan army and Sun Rujun's night blindness is temporarily recovered, the two sides fought day and night regardless of the victory or defeat, early in the morning to withdraw from the battlefield to prepare for another battle.

At this time, Dai Yougui gave Yang Xingmi an idea, asking him to concentrate all the elite troops in the middle, arrange generals on both wings to contain Sun Ru's troops, and let Li Shenfu lead the elite of the Chinese army to attack Sun Ru's Chinese army, taking advantage of Sun Ru's unstable army and the opportunity of low morale after the new defeat to break the opponent's Chinese army in one fell swoop.

This method can be said to give full play to Li Shenfu's personal force and the elite of Heiyundu. Yang Xingmi immediately adopted this opinion, and decided to personally lead the main force in the middle only to wait for Li Shenfu to break through the opponent's Chinese defense line and personally lead the army to attack on the whole line.

After arranging these, Li Shenfu led Heiyundu and Yang Xingmi's personal soldiers to charge directly from the middle road, braving the rain of arrows from the other side to cross the middle line of the two armies. Sun Ru, who had suffered a loss, also competed against each other and sent his own personal guards to block Li Shenfu's pace.

This method did stop Li Shenfu's pace at the beginning, but it was immediately interrupted by Yang Xingmi's personal soldiers behind, and after seeing Sun Ru's personal guards come forward, the Huainan army, which was also a personal soldier, immediately crossed the cavalry and began to intercept the other party, and a big battle broke out. Yang Xingmi's personal soldiers are elite divisions selected from the entire Huainan Army, and like Heiyun, they are the essence of the entire Huainan Army, which is not inferior to Sun Ru's personal soldiers who crawled out of the pile of dead people.

Li Shenfu, who had his hands free, immediately led the black clouds to rush towards Sun Ru himself, and the black-clothed and black-armored cavalry rode in the midst of the ten thousand armies, and all the obstacles along the way were crushed by the ruthless horses' hooves, and the other party under the leadership of Li Shenfu could not come up with any good way to stop the cavalry's charge. Although from the moment Li Shenfu entered the battle array, Sun Ru had already understood what the other party's purpose was, but helplessly, no one in the entire feudal town forces on the south bank of the Yangtze River could have an organized cavalry team except for the cavalry that Yang Xingmi had snatched from Zhu Jin back then. Therefore, although Sun Ru took out all his weapons and troops, he still couldn't stop this sharp arrow.

"Sun Ru, your time of death has come." Li Shenfu looked at Sun Ru's figure from a distance and shouted angrily, and the spear in his hand also shot out instantly, swept off the horse of several personal soldiers besieging him, and rushed towards Sun Ru.

"Bell crotch" Sun Ru waved his knife to block Li Shenfu's attack, and with a gloomy face and no words, he hugged his head and slashed at Li Shenfu.

"Just you?" Li Shenfu sneered while holding the opponent's long knife, followed the spear to take Sun Ru's long knife out of the circle, and the gun smashed down on Sun Ru's chest, and it turned out to be a move to knock Sun Ru to the ground.

Sun Ru, who spurted out a mouthful of blood, was lifted on the horse by the other party before he came back to his senses, and was lifted high by the other party, waving in the air like a spinning top for the righteous son, "Sun Ru is captured, those who surrender will not die, and those who resist will not be killed." ”

Li Shenfu's high-pitched words spread throughout the audience like rolling thunder, and the evil consequences of the commander's capture were even more obvious in Sun Ru's army, and even Yang Xingmi didn't have time to give the order for the whole army to attack, and the soldiers on the other side began to riot.

"The Lord is quick to attack." Dai Yougui hurriedly urged the war drum corps to issue an order in place of Yang Xingmi in the Chinese army, and at the same time hurriedly let the Chinese army attack in advance. At this time, Yang Xingmi on the front line also reacted, and the Huainan army rushed forward like a tidal wave, driving and killing those chaotic Sun Ru troops. Li Jipeng and Dai Yougui in the rear saw that Sun Rujun's morale had plummeted and was defeated, and they looked at each other and smiled. Dai Yougui said with a smile: "Now that Sun Ru's minion has been broken, I don't know how Chang'an got the news?" ”

"Haha, Mr. Dai is too worried, Yang Dashuai has been in Huainan for many years, persuading farmers to teach agriculture, and he is very good to the people, and my Tiance Mansion is naturally clear about this. I guess Dashuai should be ready to prepare some gifts to go to Chang'an. Li Jipeng said with a smile: "It is now the middle of July, and the battle on the northern front will inevitably be decided within the year, and the time has come for my lord to reorganize the rivers and mountains." ”

Li Jipeng's words made Dai Yougui nod his head, and understood the meaning of the other party's words, so he also smiled and said: "The Huainan region has experienced wars, and the people are poor and weak. ”
