Li Shoujing personally went to the riverside and looked at the river after the layers of fortifications.

The speed of the Hundred Battles Army is extremely fast, and it arrived in Linhuang from Dunqiu yesterday, and it is constantly trying to cross the river today.

There are many ships on the river, the masts are like forests, and the hull is like beasts, densely packed. When the ship array approached, it looked like a moving mountain, giving people a great sense of oppression.

Li Shoujing's face did not show any panic, on the contrary, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Yesterday, the Hundred Battles Army marched from Dunqiu to Linhuang, and at night it was ready to make a surprise attack across the river, but was repulsed by Li Shoujing's army placed on the riverside.

"It was a long-distance attack, and he fought unexpectedly, but he didn't know that Ben Shuai already knew his whereabouts, and now, smuggling has become a forced crossing, and Ben Shuai wants to see if everyone in the Hundred Battles Army has wings and can fly across the river!" Li Shoujing was full of spirit.

Previously, when the Hundred Battles Army arrived at Dunqiu, Huang Fuhui informed Li Shoujing of its whereabouts, and Li Shoujing sent scouts to monitor the movements of the Hundred Battles Army day and night.

Xu Yonghui stood beside Li Shoujing, and complimented Li Shoujing with a smile when he heard the words: "With Li Shuai's 3,000 tigers here, even 100,000 heroes don't want to cross the river. ”

Li Shoujing laughed, very complacent. Originally, he was still a little jealous of the Hundred Battles Army, and he responded very cautiously, after all, they had great achievements. Now it seems that under the condition of grasping the battlefield first, the Hundred Battles Army has nothing to fear, and with the Yellow River being in danger, it is not easy to fly across.

Xu Yonghui now has no soldiers and no generals, and he is alone, he didn't mention it to Li Shoujing, can he give him some soldiers and horses, or go into battle to kill the enemy, a shame, but Li Shoujing refused. No matter, Xu Yonghui had to follow Li Shoujing and be an idler.

Xu Yonghui asked: "If it is difficult to enter the army, it is much better to go to Puyang than to go to Linhuang, after all, the Yellow River is dangerous, and you can cross it if you want to. The elder brother really didn't understand why Li Congjing chose it this way. ”

Li Shoujing trembled his brows and snorted coldly: "Since crossing the Huanghe River and attacking Juancheng, it is only half a day's journey, if you can surprise it, it is not difficult to make miraculous achievements." To go through Puyang, to Juancheng, it takes three days to march alone, not to mention that Puyang City is not easy to overcome? In addition, Li Congjing thinks very highly of himself, so he naturally wants to take Juancheng directly and finish his work in one battle. It's a pity that he shouldn't have underestimated me Puzhou! ”

Xu Yonghui suddenly realized.

Gao Xingcheng came out of nowhere, and he said a strange thing to Li Shoujing, "Dashuai, the scouts who will be sent to Huazhou, Dunqiu, and Linhuang have not replied for two days. ”

This kind of thing is naturally unusual, Li Shoujing frowned and said, "How can this be? ”

Gao Xingcheng hesitated for a moment, his face was ugly, "The silver spear is strict in military discipline, such a situation should not have appeared, and now looking at it, there is only one possibility." ”

"Say!"

"Unless they're dead!"

Li Shoujing was both shocked and angry, "Dozens of scouts, all dead?!" ”

"There is no other possibility!" High Walk to Enlightenment.

"It can't be!" Li Shoujing waved his sleeves angrily.

Gao Xingcheng lowered his head and gritted his teeth and said, "The last general has sent out the second wave of scouts a day ago to check the situation, and there has been no news so far!" ”

Li Shoujing was shocked, he naturally knew what it meant.

"Is there any news from Puyang?" Li Shoujing asked with a gloomy face.

"Half a day ago, Puyang Shou will return, and everything is fine." Gao Xing said, "However, the marshal has stipulated that the situation in Puyang must be reported three times a day, and now it is time to pass the latest news to be transmitted!" ”

"Send someone, send someone immediately!" Li Shoujing shouted, "Go and ask Puyang, what happened, go and ask if the Qin Wangfu is here, and if Li Congjing has appeared!" ”

"Yes!" Gao Xingcheng clenched his fists and retreated, and went to make arrangements.

Li Shoujing paced back and forth in place with his hands in his hands, looking at the situation on the river for a while, and then looking at the west, his face anxious and uneasy.

The ships of the Hundred Battles that rushed over the river retreated, as if they had been beaten back by the Silver Spear.

It's about to be winter, and the wind is strong on the riverside, but Li Shoujing is sweating profusely.

I can't help but be nervous.

It was indeed a three-day journey from Puyang to Juancheng, but that was for the foot soldiers. If you are a fine rider and you intend to attack, it will only take one day!

Puyang and Juancheng are only about 120 miles apart.

This is the danger of not being able to grasp the actions of the enemy, especially when the two are very close together, because it is likely that when you wake up, someone else will be killed at your doorstep. Therefore, in any battle, scouts always take the lead, which is why scouts are the most elite soldiers in the army.

"Brother Li is worried that Li Congjing will be killed from Puyang? It's unlikely! Xu Yonghui was very happy when he saw that Li Shoujing was in a hurry, "Puyang is a fortified city, not to mention that there are only hundreds of people around Li Congjing, and it is impossible to conquer it, even if he brings hundreds of people, it is useless." Brother Li doesn't have to worry. ”

Li Shoujing did not settle down because of Xu Yonghui's relief, he still circled in place, "What if Li Congjing brought more than hundreds of people?" ”

"More than hundreds? It can't be, he only has hundreds! Xu Yonghui looked serious and continued to paralyze Li Shoujing, "Li Congjing came to Huazhou, and there are only four hundred soldiers around him, but my brother can see it clearly!" ”

Li Shoujing also hopes that the truth is just like what Xu Yonghui said, but what is the real situation, he can't help but plan for the worst, "The scouts in Dunqiu, Linhuang, and Huazhou have not had any news back for two days, if the Hundred Battles Army divides its troops in Dunqiu, makes a detour through Huazhou, and enters from Puyang, and the Hundred Battles Army in Linhuang is just Li Congjing's trick, what should it do?" ”

The more he thought about it, the more likely it was for Li Shoujing. The sky is pitiful, from Dunqiu to Weinan County, Huazhou, for the fine horse, it is only a day away, and then from Weinan to Puyang, the fine ride is half a day!

It is impossible for people and horses not to rest, and naturally they cannot rush day and day. But the scout has not delivered the news back for two days, and it will take most of the time for the scout to return to Juancheng from Dunqiu, that is to say, the last news sent back by the scout is two and a half days ago!

Two and a half days, my God! Li Shoujing wailed in his heart.

Xu Yonghui saw that Li Shoujing's face was getting more and more ugly, and his heart became more and more anxious. What Li Congjing's arrangement was, Xu Yonghui didn't know, but he knew that he should disrupt Li Shoujing's state of mind at this time, so that he couldn't think normally.

Xu Yonghui said: "As Brother Li said, Li Congjing has a fine horse on the side, but Puyang Jiancheng, Li Congjing lacks baggage, and attacks the city with cavalry, it will be difficult to conquer the long sword army within ten days Li Congjing will never use it, he will not rest assured that it seems that Brother Li does not need to panic, as long as he holds the Yellow River, if the hundred battles on the other side of the river are killed, it is not good!" ”

"What if Li Congjing doesn't attack the city?" Li Shoujing asked with red eyes.

"Don't siege?" Xu Yonghui was stunned.

"Not bad!" Li Shoujing gritted his teeth and said, "Puyang may not have to be attacked, it can be besieged without attacking, Li Congjing can still lead a light horse straight to Juancheng!" ”

"Then what is Li Congjing trying to do?" Xu Yonghui felt very aggrieved, "If he really wants to raid Juancheng, why bother so much!" As long as the Hundred Battles Army starts from Huaizhou and goes down the river, it can go directly to Juancheng. Or wouldn't it be better to let the Hundred Battles Army simply land in Huazhou, and the army will march from Puyang in a dignified manner? ”

Li Shoujing: ""

Li Shoujing was speechless for a while, because he felt that Xu Yonghui actually made sense!

Indeed, if he wanted to attack Juancheng, why did Li Congjing bother so much, whether it was from the river or from Puzhou, it was much better.

Xu Yonghui saw that Li Shoujing didn't speak, his face became very exciting, and he suddenly chuckled in his heart and shouted that it was not good.

Because Xu Yonghui felt that he seemed to be stupid to say something. Thinking of this, Xu Yonghui secretly wailed. Oh my God, if he exposed Li Congjing's true intentions, caused trouble for Li Congjing, and made Li Congjing's plan fail, wouldn't he become an enemy faction?

That should be cut by a thousand knives, Ling Chi was executed, and there was absolutely no negotiation.

Xu Yonghui's face was like ashes in an instant.

Fortunately, Xu Yonghui was not stupid, he immediately remedied: "Brother Li, should it be, Li Congjing didn't plan to attack Puzhou, right?" ”

Li Shoujing raised his head suddenly, his eyes as sharp as a knife.

Xu Yonghui swallowed, "Brother Li, to be honest, did Li Congjing send someone to deliver a letter to you?" Will he just want to take advantage of the passage and the Hundred Battles Army actually has other military affairs? ”

Li Shoujing suddenly felt bad, there was indeed a group of people close to Juancheng before, but let his scouts kill them like a great enemy, and later found that these people did carry a seal letter, saying that they wanted to borrow the way.

"Impossible!" Li Shoujing shook his head, "It's impossible!" Li Congjing is going to attack Juancheng, yes yes, no! ”

Hearing Li Shoujing say this, Xu Yonghui pretended to sigh and stopped talking.

was stirred up by Xu Yonghui, Li Shoujing's thinking was a little confused, and he waited on the riverbank for two hours, but nothing was done. The Hundred Battles Army on the other side of the river was still planning to cross the river, but was repulsed again and again by the Silver Spear Festival.

It wasn't until he realized that it was getting late, and Li Shoujing finally issued a military order to put Juancheng into a state of combat readiness. Whatever the situation, he intends to defend it tightly. No matter what Li Congjing wants to do, he will always show his feet.

Li Congjing did show his feet.

Lots of horses' feet.

At dusk, 3,000 fine horsemen, 6,000 war horses, and 24,000 horse feet suddenly appeared in Juancheng County, like a divine soldier descending from the sky!

Li Shoujing had already returned to the county seat, and he stood on the city wall, looking at a black line that appeared on the horizon, his face was like a green mountain. The black line gradually expanded, forming a wave, which swept in like a tidal wave.

The torrent of iron armor rushed in the billowing smoke and dust, the earth-shattering thunder made people's eardrums crack, and the cold flags, armor, and invisible cold eyes made people tremble.

Two hours ago, Li Shoujing received the news that his subordinates were desperately sent back: the elite cavalry of the Hundred Battles Army entered the country and went straight to Juancheng.

Too late.

Li Shoujing didn't have time to deploy troops.

The silver spear and the festival were all transferred out to guard Puyang and the Yellow River, and the defense of Juancheng was empty, and the army was only a thousand people. Although there are a lot of young people who are temporarily recruited, they really have no combat power.

However, Li Shoujing did not intend to be captured, he believed that as long as he held on for a period of time, Gao Xingcheng, who presided over the defensive battle on the banks of the Yellow River, would come back to help - the big deal was that the Yellow River was not needed, as long as the troops were there, and they would work together to defend the fortified city, it would not be so easy for the Hundred Battles Army to conquer Juancheng.

But soon, Li Shoujing didn't think so.

The elite cavalry of the Hundred Battles Army did not stop in Juancheng County, and Li Congjing did not even say a word of greeting to Li Shoujing, so he led his troops to make a big bend in front of the city, and went straight to the Yellow River defensive position of the Silver Spear Army.

They left behind a long line of smoke and dust that lingered in the twilight.

Li Shoujing's face was like ashes.

Because he knew that the three thousand silver spears who defended the crossing of the river by the army of the hundred battles on the riverside were finished.

Under the attack from both sides, there is no reason to be invincible.

After the Hundred Battles Army crossed the border, the sergeants who reported on the battle situation in Puyang were late.

"Report to the marshal, the Hundred Battles Army besieged the city yesterday evening, and at night, the siege was lifted. The general expected that the Hundred Battles Army would go to Juancheng, so he led the army in pursuit, but the Hundred Battles Army set up an ambush in the middle of the road, and the general was defeated and returned! ”

Hearing this, Li Shoujing jumped to his feet in anger.

"10,000 battle troops, you can't beat 5,000 silver spears, Li Congjing, you are bullying more and less!" Li Shoujing looked at the billowing smoke and roared angrily.

Of course, he didn't know that Li Congjing, who was roared by him, had said a word to the generals of the Hundred Battles Army.

"The most enjoyable battle in the world is not to win more with less, but to bully less with more!"
