Chapter 557: The Heavenly General is clear that it is dark and fierce
The battle situation on the grassland has reached the most critical time, but Xiangyang City's side is a little unusual. Throughout the day, whether it was the soldiers in Li Shimin's camp, or the Liang army in Xiangyang City, which was already tired and tired, or the soldiers of the Yanyun army on the west bank of the Han River, they were all a little bored.
In particular, the Yanyun Army, which has always been known for its strict discipline, except for the scouts and rangers that must be arranged, most of the soldiers did not practice because the weather turned cold, and they all nestled in their tents and fell asleep. The scouts sent by Li Shimin hid in the grass and observed for a whole day, and found that the soldiers of the Yanyun Army had gone into the tents after eating at noon, and few of them came out again.
This news was transmitted back to the camp of the Qin Wangjun on the east bank of the Han River before dark, which made Li Shimin's heart feel a little more steady.
Outside his tent, all the generals from the five rank generals and above were gathered here. The generals at the head looked a little nervous, because they already knew what kind of big things were going to happen tonight. The mid- and low-ranking generals have not yet received news, but vaguely people seem to have guessed something.
After everyone arrived, not long after, Li Shimin, who was wearing gold armor, slowly walked out of the big tent.
Wearing a bright red cloak, Li Shimin, who was wearing gold armor, looked particularly heroic. He held the golden helmet in his arms, walked slowly to the front of the group and stopped.
His gaze slowly swept over the faces of these generals, and Li Shimin's face was surprisingly calm.
"All of you have probably wondered when this war will end. What will your future hold, death in battle? Or be a proud winner? ”
Li Shimin said in a calm tone: "It's not just you, Gu has also thought about it more than once...... Can you win this battle? Right now...... Lone finally figured out one thing. ”
He gradually raised his tone and said, "If you want to win, you must have a heart to win!" ”
"If you are all uneasy in your hearts, you are all worried, you are all making two plans, and you don't have a heart to win, then this battle has already been lost before it is fought! Lone has made mistakes, not long ago! If it weren't for Wei Chigong using his fearlessness to tell Lone, Lone still wouldn't understand what war is! ”
"Only by going into battle with a decisive heart can you survive a hundred battles!"
Li Shimin said loudly: "Tonight, the lone general will join you to kill the enemy with a decisive heart!" The enemy is on the other side of the Han River, and they wouldn't have thought that we would attack at this time. I don't want to hide it from you...... There is not much food and grass in the army, and if we want to survive this winter, we can only go to the enemy's camp and grab the grain and grass! ”
"And what do you do before you grab the grain and grass?"
Li Shimin slowly swept over everyone and said loudly: "Kill all the enemies!" ”
"Tonight, if you don't bring all your courage to the table, then the victor may be the enemy on the other side. Think about it, what will become of you when you are defeated? Become a dead body? Or a cowardly dog begging for a bite of food and wagging his tail for mercy? And if you push forward and trample all the enemies under your feet, then they are dogs! It's a corpse! ”
"Kill the Yan King!"
Li Shimin shouted: "Create a foundation and make contributions!" ”
He pulled out the horizontal knife violently and pointed to the thick ink-like sky: "Use the horizontal knife in your hands to gain a bright future for yourself!" Step into the enemy formation and swear to kill Li Xian! ”
"Kill Li Xian!"
Many people's enthusiasm was stirred up by Li Shimin, and they drew their horizontal knives one after another. Even some of the generals of the Liang army were infected by Li Shimin's passion, and the fighting spirit unique to soldiers in their bones gradually recovered. Although they were defeated once, they became Li Shimin's prisoners. But they still have a desire for victory in their bones, and now that the Great Liang has come to an end, it is necessary for them to fight for their future.
Just as Li Shimin said, soldiers are unwilling to be cowards.
As long as there is hope of victory, who wants to be the loser?
The thirteenth stood in front of the generals, his eyes were exceptionally bright. He held the horizontal knife high, and his expression was very excited when he shouted slogans with Li Shimin. He seemed excited, looking forward to the moment.
"Wei Chi was seriously injured...... Thirteenth ...... Are you willing to follow Lone's side and support Lone?! ”
Li Shimin suddenly looked at the thirteenth heir and asked.
"Minister...... Never give up! ”
Si Thirteen slapped his heart and said: "Although the minister is not as brave as General Wei Chi, the minister is willing to use his body as a shield for the lord!" Unless the minister is dead, no matter who it is, it will not threaten the lord's security! ”
"You and Wei Chi are lonely humerus!"
Li Shimin handed his horizontal knife to the thirteenth heir and took the thirteenth horizontal knife: "Today this knife is used as proof, if you win, Lone and Qing should be brothers!" Don't give up! ”
In the night, he left his cronie Pang De with 50,000 troops to guard the camp. Li Shimin personally led an army of more than 100,000 troops to cross the river in four directions to the shallow lower reaches of the Han River. After dark, the army immediately set out, detouring at least seventy or eighty miles, and when it arrived at the Yanyun army camp, it happened to be dawn, which was the deepest time for people to sleep!
Li Shimin told himself that he would definitely become the winner!
Certain!
……
……
Li Shimin knew that in the place where the river could be crossed downstream, Li Xian must have arranged a large number of scouts to monitor, so he divided the team into two groups, selected about 2,000 elite soldiers who were good at water to swim to the other side of the river, and ambushed them on the road that the Yanyun army scouts had to pass to return to the village, and came to kill one person to ensure that the whereabouts of the army would not be revealed.
The two thousand soldiers who swam across the river in the dark, and those who survived to the other side of the river would be the key to the victory or defeat of the war. Therefore, Li Shimin promised to be generous, and he promised that as long as the soldiers who crossed the river in the past, everyone could get 100 acres of fertile land after the war. Those who die in battle will receive a bereavement of five hundred taels of silver.
Li Shimin personally led the army, it took more than an hour to rush to the shallow water downstream, the army began to cross the river, and there were indeed defenders of Yanyun's army on the other side of the river, and after a fight, the defenders began to retreat. Li Shimin ordered the army to speed up, and it was necessary to rush to the Yanyun army camp before dawn.
The retreating Yanyun army defenders were stopped by the Qin Wangjun who had crossed the river in advance, and hundreds of scouts were killed after a fight. Taking advantage of the strong night, more than 100,000 horses of the Qin Wangjun army rushed in the direction of the Yanyun army camp like crazy.
They finally arrived before dawn, at the darkest hour.
Looking at the brightly lit Yanyun Army camp not far away, Li Shimin's eyes were full of coldness!
"Rush in! Kill Li Xian! ”
"Kill Li Xian, reward 10,000 gold, and seal the country!"
Li Shimin roared loudly and pointed forward with a horizontal knife!
"Kill!"
The surging soldiers of the Qin Dynasty lit torches and gathered into a sea of fire. The sea of fire that lit up half of the night sky spread towards the Yanyun army camp, like a flood bursting the embankment. Soon, the horn of warning sounded in the Yanyun army camp, and countless Yanyun army soldiers could be seen quickly rushing towards the camp.
Li Shimin, who was standing on a high slope, couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Yan Yunjun was really a first-class strong soldier in the world. It is admirable to assemble in such a short period of time. But Li Shimin could see that the torches in the Yanyun army camp were very messy, and it was obvious that the enemy had panicked.
The archers of the Yanyun Army who had gathered began to release arrows, and the archers of the Qin Wangjun Army, who had already rushed not far from the camp, also began to release arrows, the difference was that the archers of the Qin Wangjun Army shot out ignited rockets. It was like the Milky Way falling from above the Nine Heavens, and the rockets rushed into the Yanyun Army camp like a surging river.
The density of feathered arrows is shocking.
The wails of the soldiers before they died resounded in the sky, and in just a few moments, the corpses of the soldiers of the Qin Wang Army outside the Yanyun Army camp were covered with a layer. The soldiers of the Qin Dynasty, who rushed to the front, were knocked to the ground by feather arrows and more powerful bed crossbows. When a large number of archers of the Yanyun Army ascended the arrow tower, the losses of the attacking side became larger and greater.
Standing in the camp of the big camp, Xiong Kuanhai's face was solemn, and he watched the surging enemy slowly clench his fists.
Hold on for at least three hours!
This is a strict order given to him by His Royal Highness King Yan.
And in his hands, there are less than 20,000 horses.
Li Shimin sent scouts to hide outside the Yanyun army, and when they saw the soldiers in the Yanyun army, they entered the tent and did not come out after eating. But what they didn't see was that after it got dark, most of the elite of the Yanyun Army had quietly assembled and left the camp.
At this time, the soldiers of the Yanyun Army in the big camp had to pretend to be unprepared and hold on.
Xiong Kuohai looked at Zhang Gongjin who was standing beside him, was silent for a while and said: "Divided into two teams, you are behind me and I are in front, if my men and horses can't carry it, you are the supervising team." If the enemy attacks too hard, you can bring your troops up again. ”
"Three Hours"
Zhang Gongjin rubbed his nose and suddenly shook his head: "You go back, the heavy armor Mo sword battalion can't come up until it can't be defended." I'm in front, you're in the back! ”
Xiong Kuohai pondered for a while and nodded: "Okay!" Treasure! ”
"Don't worry"
Zhang Gongjin smiled: "I don't have any other skills, it's just a big life." And speaking of which...... On the battlefield charge, among the ten thousand armies, I am not as good as you. Lead the army to defend and set up a formation to block, you are not as good as me. It's only three hours, I'll block, you will counterattack! ”
……
……
A boy who looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old stumbled forward and almost fell to the ground. The man running beside him stretched out his hand and pulled him, lowered his voice and said, "Don't just run, see if there is anyone in front of you!" Feathered arrows have no eyes, don't die, don't know how to die! ”
The young man glanced at the man next to him gratefully, but found that the other party was wearing Liang Jun's armor.
"Are you Liang Jun?"
The man was stunned, picked up a shield from a dead corpse on the ground and handed it to the young man: "Yes, but you should remember that those who are by your side now are comrades!" ”
"Hmm!"
The young man's face turned red, and he ran forward with his shield on his head: "Big brother! Do you think we can win? ”
"Absolutely!"
The Liang army soldier said with a smile: "No matter how strong the Yanyun army is, if it is suddenly attacked at night, it will inevitably be chaotic. Besides, did you see that the rockets put by the archers in front had already set the Yanyun army's camp on fire. As soon as the fire burns, the enemy will have to retreat! At this time, whoever retreats loses! ”
He confessed: "Don't rush forward in this way, wait until Yan Yun's army retreats, and then reduce the acceleration and rush up." Stick to the back of the enemy's ass and kill, as long as you bite, the enemy will definitely be defeated. It's easier to make meritorious service by watching the enemy's back kill! Remember, stop when you cut five heads, there is a lot of credit, but there is only one life! ”
"I know!"
The young man nodded vigorously: "It's just too dark!" Can't see the road ahead! ”
"It's too dark!"
Zhang Gongjin, who was standing behind the defensive array, looked at the sky and couldn't help but shake his head: "If Li Shimin sends people to besiege from all sides, it will be difficult to defend." It's too dark...... He sent out torches and attacked from elsewhere...... Come on, please divide your troops to inspect the camp! ”
"Whoa!"
His own soldier shouted yes, turned and ran out.
"The sky will be clear...... Its black and strong"
Zhang Gongjin muttered a sentence and looked at the sea of torches outside: "But it will light up after all, just look at the dawn...... Who does it belong to! ”
