When Li Yuan besieged the Hedong City guarded by Qu Tutong, Su You's fleet finally reached the mouth of the Haihe River.

Su You did not listen to the boat as originally planned and waited for news, but while going up the Sanggan River, he sent scouts to Zhuojun to investigate the latest battle situation.

Previously, Dou Jiande led the army to besiege Zhuojun for three days, and Dou Jiande had several tentative attacks in these three days, but he and Luo Yi maintained a considerable tacit understanding in these attacks, and retreated at every touch, and no one took advantage of it.

Dou Jiande's battle plan for Luo Yi was to encircle the point and send reinforcements, but Luo Yi didn't fall for it, and never made plans to let Yuyang Beiping County send reinforcements, he seemed to think that Dou Jiande's current 80,000 troops couldn't beat his 30,000 elites.

In the evening of this day, Wen Yanbo was ordered by Luo Yi to cross the Sanggan River single-handedly and plunge into Dou Jiande's camp.

When the soldiers of Dou Jiande's department looked at the middle-aged man in front of them with a cyan Confucian shirt and a high brown crown in front of them, they all admired his courage, but after they learned that Wen Yanbo was from Luo Yijun, they still put a hood on him according to the rules.

Dou Jiande was annoyed with Su Lie, Cao Dan, Ling Jing and others about not being able to talk to Luo Yi, and when he heard that Luo Yi had sent someone to negotiate, he stopped talking, and then watched a Wen Yanbo walk into the Chinese army's tent without being humble or arrogant.

Dou Jiande stared coldly at Wen Yanbo in front of him for a while before he spoke, "Take off the black scarf on his head!" ”

The two Dou Jiande guards beside Wen Yanbo were ordered, and then helped him take off the hood.

After blinking first and getting used to the light in the tent, Wen Yanbo's eyes fell on Dou Jiande, and then he shook his head and laughed loudly, "King Xia's hospitality has been taught below!" ”

Dou Jiande smiled honestly and did not argue with this.

The reason why Wen Yanbo's eyes were blindfolded was nothing more than that he didn't want this envoy from Youzhou to see the reality of his side, and it was understandable to do so, so why explain?

"I don't know what Your Excellency is called?"

Dou Jiande has an honest peasant face, and he has always been approachable when he speaks, but he still showed a trace of impatience with Wen Yanbo at this time.

"In Xia Wen Dalin, Youzhou marching Sima is here on the order of the lord!" Wen Yanbo looked at Dou Jiande, said slowly, and after saying these few words, he raised his voice and continued, "King Xia led a large army to invade my Youzhou realm for no reason, and displaced the people of my Youzhou, which is a great injustice!" I also ask King Xia to rein in the precipice, strike the army and return to Ji, and get back together".

Dou Jiande listened to Wen Yanbo's righteousness, and couldn't help but smile dumbly, "It turns out that this thing is here to condemn me, why didn't you think of this one half a month ago?" ”

Thinking that it was a little funny, Dou Jiande immediately interrupted Wen Yanbo's words and said coldly, "If Luo Yi asked you to bring these clichés, Wen Sima would not need to say more!" Please come back! ”

Listening to Dou Jiande's ridicule, Wen Yanbo couldn't help but blush.

Wen Yanbo's high-sounding words just now were actually his own opinion, and he didn't think that it would have any effect.

"King Xia! Wen came here, brought a letter from the lord, and asked King Xia to take a look! After finding that his righteous rebuke had no effect, Wen Yanbo immediately bowed to Dou Jiande, and then took out a letter from his sleeve, which was the real purpose of his visit.

After Dou Jiande took the letter from the guard, he glanced at Wen Yanbo, and then his eyes fell on the letter.

"Fight to the death tomorrow?" Dou Jiande snorted coldly, the letter in his hand slowly fell, and then nodded to Wen Yanbo, "Very good!" Please go back and tell your lord, and say that I, Dou Jiande, should be invited by him, and I will fight him to the death tomorrow! Let's see if it's the sharpness of your Youzhou Army's scimitar? Or the long lance of my Jizhou army! ”

After that, without waiting for Wen Yanbo to reply, Dou Jiande had already ordered his subordinates to put the hood on his head again; Then he set up his tent and drove him out of the camp.

Fight to the death?

Dou Jiande didn't think that this battle would come so soon, the question is, shouldn't he bring it up by himself in a decisive battle? Why Luo Yi? Do they have no more food?

After sending Wen Yanbo away from Youzhou, Dou Jiande thought hard for a long time and couldn't find out why Luo Yi wanted to fight.

If Dou Jiande wants to attack Jixian, which has a tall city wall and strict protective measures, he must first break through the Youzhou military camp under the city and the city in a manner.

The camp of the Youzhou Army was originally the headquarters of the Youzhou Army, and the camp had been built for several years, and it was reinforced again when Dou Jian's German army did not resist the city. The front of the camp was full of ditches, horse rejections, antlers, earthen walls and other obstacles, and only a few passages could tolerate the entry and exit of the army.

If you want to forcibly attack this camp, the difficulty is no different from attacking a military fortress like Jixian County, or a big city like Dongdu.

Dou Jiande's army has a total of more than 70,000 people, and the amount of grain and grass consumed by so many people every day is a very huge number.

The reason why he has not dared to launch a full-scale offensive is that on the one hand, he hopes that Wei Dao'er's troops can come and join as soon as possible, but on the other hand, he cannot afford to lose.

If this campaign fails to achieve its military goals, it will be difficult for him to make a comeback, after all, recruiting troops now is not the same as half a year ago.

Thinking of this, Dou Jiande inevitably slandered the people of the Seven Seas Trading Company, -- the current source of soldiers is not as good as before, and the Seven Seas Trading Company has a great influence in it, because they have taken countless refugees from Bohai and other places

"Luo Yi has a cunning personality, even if he has two thousand Yanyun Iron Horsemen in his hands, he doesn't look like a master who will fight hard, could he have deliberately reassured me, but he made a false shot?"

Thinking of this, Dou Jiande immediately ordered someone to make preparations in case Luo Yi robbed the camp tonight.

Dou Jiande's sixth sense is really good, the reason why Luo Yi sent Wen Yanbo to come to make an appointment to fight is indeed to paralyze Dou Jiande, so that he can come to rob the camp tonight.

At the beginning of the month, the moon set as early as the first ten minutes, but Luo Yi still chose to gather his troops at the third ten minutes, personally commanded two thousand heavy horses and crossed the Sanggan River by three or four miles.

Two thousand Yanyun Iron rode across the river, turned south along a forest, and stopped a mile away from Dou Jian's German camp; At this time, Dou Jiande's military camp was very quiet, and there were two sentry figures standing on the two high guard towers, and they did not notice the arrival of the Youzhou army.

Luo Yi felt a little weird in his heart, he could see the sentry, how could the sentry not see him?

It is very likely that there is already an ambush in Dou Jiande's camp!

Although he had this awareness, Luo Yi still didn't take it to heart, there were 2,000 heavy cavalry breaking into the camp, and any ambush was tofu scum.

"Rush in from the front of the enemy camp, don't scatter, get out!" Luo Yi waved the spear in his hand and immediately shouted.

"Kill!" Yan Yun's iron cavalry responded one after another, and then began to rush towards the Dou Jiande military camp not far away.

Two thousand heavily armored iron horsemen began to run in a row of five people, they were like heavy and huge iron balls, the speed of starting was not very fast, but once they turned and wanted to stop, it was not a simple matter.

Yan Yun's iron cavalry rushed towards Dou Jiande's camp like a long dragon, and for a while, a rumbling sound sounded on the ground, which could be heard ten miles away.

Yan Yun's eighteen horsemen were also among them, and Xue Wanche took the lead in bending his bow and arrows to shoot at the sentry on the sentry tower, his arrow shooting obviously had no problems, but the target was not only not shot down, but also did not even let out a scream.

Xue Wanche was stunned in his heart, and shot an arrow again, this time he finally shot the target, he picked it with a gun, and found that it was not a person who shot down just now, but a bundle of straw.

Could it be that Dou Jiande has been prepared?

Xue Wanche flashed this thought, but he knew that there was no way to retreat from this matter, and he didn't dare to tell the truth for a while, which disturbed the morale of the army.

At this time, most of the 2,000 heavy cavalry had rushed into the camp of Dou Jiande's army, and they rushed into it with unstoppable force, and the top of the camp was knocked over by horses and trampled under the hooves of horses.

Unfortunately, the camp was empty, and there was nothing but the towering tents and the straw scattered everywhere.

The plan to steal the camp that had been planned for several days was like a heavy fist smashing on cotton, Luo Yi's face was so angry that his face turned blue, and when he was about to give the order to turn around, he suddenly heard a drum sound, and then saw thousands of torches lit up on all sides.

"Go back the way you came! Withdraw" With Luo Yi's shout, rockets from all directions shot into the empty camp.

Heavy cavalry, both men and horses, wore standard armor and armor, so the lethality of bows and arrows was not too important to them, the problem was that when these bows and arrows landed, they immediately ignited the straw and military tents on the ground.

I don't know what material was added to these straws and military tents, and soon a fire formed.

The Youzhou army also knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so they immediately transferred the docks, and the rear team turned into the front team, and rushed to and fro together.

Not far away, a Biao army rushed out, about two or three thousand, but they seemed to underestimate the strength of Yan Yun's iron cavalry.

They only shot two rounds of bows and arrows, and then they were rushed into the formation by Yanyun Iron Cavalry, and after the two sides entered the battle, Dou Jiande's army stopped attacking from a distance.

Compared to melee combat, which team can compare to Yanyun Iron Cavalry?

After the merger, Luo Yi led two thousand heavy cavalry to kill the three thousand Dou Jiande troops who were waiting for work, and they seemed to have come to send them off.

The Youzhou Iron Cavalry vented all the anger of the sneak attack on the empty camp just now on the poor three thousand light cavalry in front of him, but Luo Yi knew that he couldn't fight, so he only killed one round and fled north.

After the First World War, Luo Yi's side suffered nearly 100 casualties, but Dou Jiande lost nearly 1,000 people while waiting for work.

Dou Jiande saw Luo Yi's combat effectiveness, and Luo Yi was also faintly painful, not only because of the loss of nearly 100 people; After this battle, he couldn't think of any other possibility of defeating Dou Jiande.
