Li Jie led the people back to the barracks, while the soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield, all the weapons were recovered, and the corpses were buried in a centralized manner, and lime was sprinkled according to Li Jie's request. In the tent, Qin Fang reported to Li Jie, "In this battle, our army lost 231 people and 3712 wounded. Li Jie nodded, "The bodies of the fallen soldiers will be sent back for burial, and all the aftermath will be implemented according to the regulations I have formulated!" Qin Fang arched his hand, "No!" ”

Li Jie said again, "Today, the coalition forces should not attack, the whole army is ready to attack at any time, and the scouts will strengthen patrols and probe." Qin Fang gave up his hand again, "Oh!" ”

Li Jie looked at Han Wen and Liu Jun, "What do you two think about today's battle?" "Your Royal Highness Liu Jun gave his hand, this battle can be seen that the coalition camps are all fighting separately, and the arrogance of the tooth soldiers is considered to be betrayed by the coalition forces, and tomorrow all the departments of the coalition army may have their own small abacus. So tomorrow I guess they will have some reservations and will not attack us with all their might! "Hangul is also a fan" Brother Liu said very much, after all, the coalition army is here for money, and it will definitely not let its men and horses lose too much! Therefore, I suggest that Your Highness consume their strength in the next few days of battle, and when their strength is lost to a certain extent, Your Highness will force them to fight a decisive battle, so as to lay the foundation for victory! The greater the loss, the easier it will be for His Highness to take Chengde and Henghai! ”

Li Jie looked at Liu Qi and Wang Yue, and the two of them arched their hands and said, "Your Highness must prepare early, our army's current strength is more than enough to defend, but the attack is insufficient!" Bi Jing Lu Long did not send troops, although Lu Long is currently in civil strife, but he has to guard against it! Li Jie asked: "I don't know how the training of the People's Army is at present!" Liu Qi said, "The people's army has been training for more than ten days, and there is no problem in guarding the place!" Li Jie nodded and said, "Order 50,000 people's troops to assemble, all of them are recruited, and whether it is feasible to recruit another 100,000 soldiers!" Wang Yue said, "The current population is enough to support, feasible!" ”

Li Jie said, "Then 100,000 troops will be conscripted, and the three towns of Hebei should also be recovered!" Then Li Jie stood up and ordered: "Go to the wounded barracks!" Everyone followed Li Jie to the wounded barracks. Manniang is busy, and some of the less injured ones are also helping.

Seeing Li Jie's arrival, the wounded soldiers were very excited. After all, he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty! Li Jie carefully inspected the wounds of several wounded people, and the wounds were carefully treated.

At this time, a shout caught Li Jie's attention. Walking over, I saw several female medical soldiers holding down a wounded soldier, but Lang Zhong was a little dazed. Li Jie asked, "Why don't you operate on the wounded?" When Lang Zhong saw that it was Li Jie, he hurriedly said, "Your Highness, this brother's wound is too big, we didn't deal with it before, and generally let him fend for himself." But Your Highness, you have a request, so we have to deal with it, but..."

Li Jie understood that they had never treated such wounds. A palm struck the wounded man in the neck, and the wounded fainted. "Sanitize me!" A paramedic hurriedly brought a basin of salt water, and Li Jie washed his hands. Little by little, the clothes of the wounded were cut with a knife. A two-foot-long wound on the right chest was exposed, and the flesh was turned outward. I touched the wounded's forehead, and there was a high fever. Immediately he ordered a large pot of boiling water to be boiled, and a wooden bucket was taken to carry water.

Pouring hot water on the wooden bucket, Li Jie tested the temperature of the water, and then put the wounded man's legs into the stab. "This will cool the wounded." Li Jie said. Then he said, "Take a rope and tie him up." Give him numbing! ”

The wounded were tied to the bed, and Li Jie picked up a knife and stabbed the wound.

Oh! A bang

Move the knife on the knife edge again, the kind of heart-eating pain no one can stand it, and the whole camp can hear a scream like killing a pig.

The wounded man was directly woken up by the pain!

Another knife went down, and the wounded man fainted in pain again. As Li Jie cut it with a knife, the wounded man woke up like this, woke up and dizzed again. The faces of the entire camp of the wounded and sick changed color.

The anesthetic lost its effect before such an operation, the rotten flesh was cut off with a knife, and the "re-narcotic" was fed a large bowl of anesthetic into the mouth, and the wounded finally quieted down.

"Alright, alcohol to clean the wound, and then stitch it up!" Lang Zhong hurriedly took over. Li Jie cleaned his hands, turned around and was about to leave, "Thank Your Highness for saving your life, I will not give up until I die!" "All the wounded, including hundreds of coalition wounded, fell to their knees.

Li Jie hurriedly said: "Brothers, you don't have to be like this! Get up! When everyone got up, Li Jie hurriedly took Manniang away, and everyone bowed down and shouted, "Congratulations to the prince and princess." Embarrassed, Manniang ran out of the wounded barracks with her head down. Liu Qi and the others from the wounded barracks glanced at each other, and they all ran away with a "hula". Xue Liang made a gesture to the soldiers before leaving, and all the soldiers avoided the road, and the soldiers standing guard all turned around.

Manniang walked with her head down, Li Jie followed behind, and the two of them walked unhurriedly, and no one spoke. After entering the tent, the soldiers brought tea and retreated, and put down the tent curtain before leaving.

The two were relatively speechless, and finally Li Jie opened his mouth and said, "It's been okay these days!" Manniang lowered her head and whispered, "It's okay, I've been busy treating the wounded these days!" Didn't think about it that much. Li Jie said again: "Thank you for your hard work." Manniang raised her head and smiled sweetly, "I can do things for His Royal Highness, the slave family is very happy!" Li Jie walked over and took Manniang into his arms, Manniang's body stiffened, and then hid in Li Jie's arms.

In the tent of the coalition commander, everyone was relatively silent. Wei Boya's bravery was an eye-opener for everyone. Wang Jingchong looked at everyone and said, "Wei Boyabing really lives up to his reputation, but it's a pity!" Everyone nodded, and Wang Jingchong said, "Okay, let's all go and rest, and fight tomorrow!" And they got up and departed.

In the evening, Li Jie, who was sweet, rose again, and Manniang stood behind him, "After the third watch, the whole army will leave the camp." Dig a pit 800 meters away from the camp, and ask for as much as possible. The bowl is big and two feet deep! Everyone was puzzled, Li Jie explained with a smile: "This thing works for horses, and it works for people!" Cheng Moyu muttered, "It's too bad, Your Highness is too bad!" "Li Jie" "um", everyone "coaxed" all ran away, Manniang lowered her head and smiled, Li Jie turned around, "Am I damaged?" Manniang nodded and did not speak.

After the third watch, nearly 100,000 people left the camp and began to dig the pit, which was completed in a short time. After dawn, looking at the dense pits, everyone's scalp was numb for a while, the soldiers of the coalition camp went out of the camp in groups, and the national army also lined up to meet the enemy, and the soldiers were lined up in front of the formation, and the real fierce battle was about to begin.

The coalition forces of 30,000 troops pressed in a row, but not long after walking, the soldiers in front were dumbfounded. In front of them was a dense pit, and the speed of the attack had dropped significantly, and the soldiers had to move forward carefully, and from time to time some soldiers stepped into the pit and sprained their feet.

"It's too bad!" The soldiers cursed, and they were about to make contact with the national army, when a "bang" sounded from the opposite camp, and a black cloud flew up, screaming towards the coalition army, and the sword and shield soldiers raised their shields in their hands. The pikemen could only grit their teeth and continue to move forward, and with a "bang", a black cloud followed.

The sound of "poof" continued to sound, and many soldiers were pierced by huge arrows, and some were taken down and nailed to the ground. The coalition formation immediately became much more empty, and the terrifying screams in the sky continued to sound, but the continuous screams on the ground became less and less.

The first 10,000 troops of the coalition army were almost completely lost before they could even touch the camp of the national army. "Rush, rush!" The officers in the back drew their swords and shouted, while the soldiers continued to attack, and the huge arrows continued to fall, taking some people's lives with each fall. The officers were in a hurry, "Archers, release the arrows!" ”

The archers of the coalition army braved the blow of huge arrows and shot the arrows in their hands, and casualties began to appear on the side of the garden people's army, and another team of 10,000 people pressed up, and now the total of 30,000 people was nearly 20,000. The ground is overgrown with giant arrows, and this forest has taken many lives.

"Rush, rush! The Retreater, Slash! The order sounded again, and the remnants of the soldiers continued to rush forward, some of whom had already engaged the pikemen of the Nationalists. But how can individual bravery beat team cooperation, a spear continues to stab out and withdraw together, many soldiers were stabbed to death by spears without even fighting back, a few soldiers just went up, pikemen flashed on both sides, rushed out dozens of sword and shield soldiers, a random knife made a few people hacked to death, the sword and shield soldiers retreated, and the pikemen blocked the gap again.

In just one hour, the 30,000 allied forces were almost wiped out. Wang Jingchong was anxious, and sent a team of 50,000 people at once. All the bed crossbows in the army were also carried out. Two of them headed to the left and right, trying to attack the national army from the flanks.

Qin Fang discovered this attempt, and ordered Li Tang and his deputy general Qi Tai to rush out with nearly 3,000 cavalry each, and the other party immediately used bows and arrows to block the cavalry, and from time to time a cavalry was hit by an arrow and fell from the horse.

"Roundabout formation" Li Tang gave an order, the cavalry took out crossbow arrows and rushed over, thousands of cavalry had already rushed to the side of the coalition army at a stone's length, and Li Tang, who led the team, shouted: "Let's go-"

Thousands of crossbows shot out of the crossbows in their hands, and thousands of crossbow arrows pounced on the enemy like flying locusts. Nearly 1,000 people fell to the ground and died under such blows, and the side of the coalition army was peeled off as if it had been skinned.

From the air, the two cavalry teams formed two large rings on the left and right wings, shooting crossbow arrows from the bottom, and constantly some soldiers were shot to the ground, and the rest of the soldiers subconsciously leaned inward, and the two 10,000 teams moved closer to the center of the formation intentionally or unintentionally, and with the increase in personnel density, the casualties caused by the giant arrows were also getting bigger and bigger.

When Wang Jingchong saw that something was wrong, he immediately ordered 5,000 cavalry to be sent on the left and right wings. The cavalry of both sides finally began the first encounter.

Li Tang saw the cavalry sent by the other party, and with an order, the cavalry rushed towards the coalition cavalry, seeing that the two sides were about to engage, both sides shot their crossbow arrows in their hands, and suddenly the cavalry of the national army turned their horses and ran to one side.
