After Li Keyong relieved Yang Deshan, Yang Deshan got up and thanked him.

"Let's send some of our men and horses to fight the thief army first, they will definitely think that most of our army has been sent to Chang'an to attack the city, and only this part of the men and horses are left in the camp. In this way......"

"In this way, the thief army will inevitably want to take advantage of the weakness to take our army's camp in one fell swoop." Li Cunzhang answered.

"Yes, the young rider is right. Our army pretended to be defeated and led them to chase after them, and the rest of the men and horses could be ambushed, waiting for the opportunity, and they could take down the river pirate army in one fell swoop, the commander. ”

"Hahaha, Mr. Takami." Li Ke patted his hand on the chair and praised Yang Deshan's suggestion.

"Then, if the thief army is the same as last time. What to do with that hedgehog formation? Even if the thief army is defeated, the casualties of my Shatuo warriors will not be less. Li Siyuan asked.

"This requires the cavalry to play a good defeat scene, and it is best to really lose, so that the thief army can pursue without scruples, so that the army cannot maintain the military formation." Yang Deshan continued to explain to the people in the big tent.

"In the same way, the soldiers and horses in ambush should divide and surround the pursuing thief army, so that they cannot be formed immediately, and our army can easily take them down."

"Bang, bang, bang......" Li Keyong stood up, clapped his hands and walked in front of Yang Deshan, and said: "If this battle is successful, Mr. should take the first credit." ”

"Don't dare to be, handsome."

……

On the bank of the Wei River, in the infantry phalanx, Song Zhongqiang stood in the handsome position for the first time, sighing.

I thought: "I have been fighting in the north and south for many years, and every time I fight, I lead the troops across the horse to charge forward, and I fight for courage." Now that I have been promoted to the position of marshal, it can be regarded as the result of my hard work. ”

"Report, marshal, there are about 3,000 cavalry in the Tang Army. No signs of men and horses were found within five miles of other directions. A spy came to Song Zhongqiang to report.

"Well, I see, let's go down."

"Marshal, only these 3,000 men and horses, it's too much to underestimate us, you give me 5,000 infantry, and I'll go and destroy them now." A partial general clenched his fists and knelt on one knee, wanting a chance to fight with Song Zhongqiang.

"Don't be so troublesome, my army will directly cover up the past and leave them alone."

The military advisor Zeng He stood beside Song Zhongqiang, looked at the Tang Army in the distance, and then looked at the current new coach, he always felt that something was almost something, and he didn't feel very good. But he couldn't do anything, because there was no clue that could be used to persuade Song Zhongqiang. However, my inner turmoil is getting worse and worse.

"Dashuai, do you want to send more people and horses, go out to investigate, I always feel that something is wrong, there are too few soldiers and horses in the Tang Army, I am afraid that there will be an ambush."

Song Zhongqiang was triumphant about his first battle in command, when he heard the military advisor say something a little defeated, but then he thought about it: "This military advisor, Zeng He is also a person with ability and strategy, why is he so timid as a mouse this time." It is estimated that he has not yet had a correct understanding of Ben Shuai's ability, so this time I will let you see my methods. ”

Song Zhongqiang opened his mouth and comforted: "Strategist, don't worry. It's not that the Tang army wanted to divide its troops to attack Chang'an by surprise, and then force our army to return to Chang'an and toss our army. This time their wish was disappointed, and our army did not return to the division. ”

"Hmm"

"So, don't worry. They didn't expect us to come and attack them. Now they have only this little bit of soldiers and horses left, and it should be them who are worried. ”

Zeng He thought to himself: "Now that His Majesty has ordered his troops and horses to return to Chang'an, even if he does not gain an advantage at this time, when the three-way army returns to help, presumably Chang'an's worries can be solved." This time, let Song Zhongqiang let it go, maybe there will be unexpected results. ”

After thinking about all the consequences, Zeng He said to Song Zhongqiang: "Song Shuai, maybe I'm too nervous, so I'm a little timid. This time, I wish Song Shuai to win the Tang Army in one fell swoop and correct my name. ”

After Zeng He finished speaking, he bowed slightly towards Song Zhongqiang with his hands together, causing the other generals to quickly clench their fists.

"Hahaha, just borrow the good words of the military division."

After speaking, Song Zhongqiang ordered the formation of the army to kill like the cavalry opposite.

……

"General, the thief army is still in this big formation, and the marshal will give us 3,000 men and horses, how can this be beaten, the last time the whole army attacked, I didn't get a bargain." The adjutant general complained to Li Cunzhang, the pioneer officer.

This attack before the battle was won by grinding hard. Although he knew that he had to pretend to be defeated, for the sake of truth, Li Cunzhang did not tell his subordinates.

"It's okay, let's just test the truth first, and then try this big array again to see if there are any flaws, so as to win the opportunity for our father. Cheer me up, and when I have the opportunity, I will be killed in the middle of the battle. ”

"Yes~"

Shatuo cavalry is brave and fearless, loyal to the Lord, never flinching from the battle, and has to complete dangerous tasks, not to mention that this time the sons of the commander are all involved in the action.

Seeing that the opposing infantry had been killed in an orderly manner, Li Cunzhang felt that there was still some distance from the ambush circle, and said: "Check the weapons, bows and arrows for me, and prepare for battle." ”

The 3,000 people standing next to the horses began to move, checking their equipment.

"Look, Dashuai. This time, the cavalry of the Tang Army did not take the initiative to come over, is it afraid of us? The general said to Song Zhongqiang, who was riding on a horse.

"Hahaha, cowardly Tang Army, pass on my generals, speed up and rush over, don't let them run."

After Song Zhongqiang's order was passed down, the infantry phalanx increased its speed, but the formation was a little loose and not as tight as just now.

Li Cunzhang saw the Huang Chaojun speeding up his march, and knew that the time was almost up, so he shouted, "Get on the horse,"

There was a sound of unanimous mounting, and all three thousand horsemen stepped onto their horses.

"Draw the knife."

"Whoa." A white scimitar stood right in front of the man.

"Kill."

With a "kill", the three thousand cavalry drove their horses to rush to the yellow-headed military array opposite.

……

"Dashuai, take over. You see that the young cavalry general is mighty, leading his subordinates to rush left and right. ”

"Hey, I hope he won't get hurt, this time he's a bait, I'm afraid of breaking in." Li Ke expressed his worries and care unabashedly.

is also an adopted son, Li Siyuan heard his father-in-law's words, and his heart was very uncomfortable. is worse than that stupid boy Li Cunzhang, why does his father-in-law like him so much.

"Look, Dashuai. The young cavalry will lead the generals to retreat as planned. ”

"Pass my general order, after the thief army enters the encirclement, rush down for me, disrupt their formation, and break them up for me!"

"Yes."

The cavalry ambushed on the east and west sides of the Tang camp all dismounted and lay down, and in order to prevent the thieves from spying, they did not go forward to ambush, but ambushed in the woods on the east and west sides of the Tang army camp.

……

"Marshal, the Tang army has been defeated and retreated, and we have won." Song Zhongqiang's flanks will report to him.

Song Zhongqiang thought to himself: "Just these 3,000 people and horses are not enough to stuff their teeth, and they can eat another 3,000." Can't let them run. ”

"I saw it, and there were only a few people. Don't let them run, rush up and destroy them. ”

"Yes."

After the side general received the order, he conveyed the order. After the Huang Chao Army received the order, he quickly ran to pursue the fleeing Tang Army.

"Marshal, don't chase after the poor, not to mention that the other party is a cavalry. Why don't we take it when we see it? ”

The military advisor Zeng He persuaded Song Zhongqiang not to pursue the Tang army, and it was easy to ambush the infantry that was not conducive to his own side.

"Don't worry, it's okay. With this commander in charge, you might as well go to the back and comfort the wounded and sick. Someone came to send the division to the rear camp to visit the wounded and sick. ”

Song Zhongqiang forcibly ordered someone to "arrange" the military advisor Zeng He to the back camp, and sent away this person who had not been with his appetite in disguise.

"Listen to the order, rush up for me, and kill into the Tang army camp."

Song Zhongqiang is now full of spirits and whims, thinking about the addiction of directing the country, strategizing, and winning thousands of miles, and abandoning his cautious nature all along.

……

"Don't ride too fast alone, take care of the wounded soldiers behind, two people on a horse, and don't leave one behind."

Li Cunzhang tried this time and found that the enemy's "hedgehog" formation was still so powerful, and there was no chance to break the formation at all. After a few attempts to charge, the losses were heavy, and they could only retreat in defeat according to the plan.

However, Li Cunzhang, who was kind-hearted and loved his subordinates, did not want to leave a wounded general, so he asked the man with a horse to take care of the injury, and the two fought to escape.

"Young horseman, two people and one horse, we can't run." The deputy general explained to Li Cunzhang that he hoped to maintain his current strength and could not put everyone in for injuries.

"No, no one is missing, bring them all back to me! If anyone dares to disobey orders, I will cut him, do you hear it~" Li Cunzhang was red-eyed and shouted hysterically at the deputy general.

"Yes!"

The lieutenant general was covered in blood, with several broken tail arrows stuck in his iron soft armor, and held a scimitar with a curling blade in his hand, brandishing it, and commanding his subordinates to take care of the wounded and sick to get on their horses and retreat.

"Quick, fast......"

……

"Marshal, the thief army has entered the encirclement."

Li Keyong saw that the cavalry sent out suffered heavy casualties, and heard his subordinates shouting that the thief army had entered the encirclement. Turning over his horse, he drew his scimitar and pointed forward and shouted, "Rush up and scatter them!" ”

The cavalry rushed out from the east and west sides, waving the scimitar in his hand and rushing towards the infantry of the Yellow Nest Army in the middle.

……

The pursuing Huang Chao Army, when the pursuit was in full swing, heard the sound of the ground shaking and the mountains shaking, and some people stopped to find the source of the sound, blocking the people who were chasing after them, causing chaos in the phalanx for a while.

"Marshal, there are ambushes, and we are in ambush." With many years of combat experience, the adjutant general under Song Zhongqiang knew that this was a movement made when a large number of cavalry were dispatched.

At this time, Song Zhongqiang's face was a little pale, his heart was empty, and he was a little confused for a while. After relieving himself, he shouted urgently: "Stop the pursuit, form a formation, form a formation......"

Song Zhongqiang's shouts were buried in the sound of horses' hooves, and when the infantry who stopped found the source of the movement, they were shocked, and they rushed towards him in a dense crowd of men and horses.

Some people were stunned and stood there stunned; Some people shouted and ran back; Some people reacted and hurriedly formed a formation to prepare for the enemy.

The infantry was a complete mess. The cavalry rushed over with swift steps, and a great battle was about to break out.
