Chapter 443: The Final Battle 3

readx; Eight hundred axemen, without armor, all went into battle lightly, or carried large swords or huge axes, and with vigorous steps, they reached the enemy formation in an instant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info has no rules, no prior planning, and is completely hacked in an almost barbaric manner, not with the aim of defeating the enemy army, but with pure killing as the motive. Eight hundred axemen, like eight hundred tigers, rushed into the seemingly large, but vulnerable wolves. In an instant, the 6,000-strong army, killed by 800 swords and axes, lost their armor and was powerless to resist.

Cheng Zhijie led a team of 200 soldiers into battle in person and rose up to resist the attack of the sword and axemen. The same is with an axe, but there is a qualitative difference between Cheng Zhijie and the knife and axe hand, or hook, or sweep, or split, Xuanhua board axe was Cheng Zhijie danced by the tiger and tiger, if it were not for the fact that his legs were burned by fire and his mobility was inconvenient, Cheng Zhijie would definitely defeat these 800 knife and axe hands in one go.

When Cheng Zhijie led the vanguard army and fought with 800 sword and axe men, the news was transmitted back to the rear camp. After careful consideration, Yin Kaishan decided to ignore it. After all, the enemy only had 800 people out of the city, and if the army was mobilized because of these 800 people, the entire strategic deployment would be disrupted, and if Li Yuanjing seized the opportunity to defeat his own side, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Seeing that Yin Kaishan did not send troops to reinforce the vanguard army, Li Yuanjing once again showed an expected smile, summoned a soldier, and said lightly: "Send a thousand infantry to reinforce!" ”

With Li Yuanjing's order, another thousand infantry joined the battle, plus the remaining more than 500 sword and axe men, the number of Li Yuanjing's army on the battlefield at this time reached 1,500 people. However, Rao is like this, and he still can't shake the vanguard army under Cheng Zhijie. These 1,500 people can only play the role of entanglement, and cannot pose a real threat to the vanguard army.

Yin Kaishan still did not send reinforcements, and after a while, after Li Yuanjing's army on the battlefield was only 1,000 people left, Li Yuanjing sent another 1,000 reinforcements. At this time, there were 2,000 Li Yuanjing's army and more than 5,000 Cheng Zhijie's vanguard army on the battlefield, and the advantage was still on the side of the Tang Dynasty.

When they learned that Li Yuanjing actually used the 'refueling tactic', which is a taboo for soldiers, the generals in the rear battalion laughed one after another, secretly sighing that Li Yuanjing was nothing more than that, a powerful conspirator, but not a competent military strategist. If Li Yuanjing continues to add fuel like this, the Tang Army can wear down the army under Li Yuanjing little by little. Just when everyone's opinions were highly unanimous and they felt that Li Yuanjing would undoubtedly lose this battle, Yin Kaishan's face became extremely solemn.

After a while, Yin Kaishan shouted: "It's not good, Li Yuanjing is confusing us!" Pass my order and send 5,000 soldiers and horses to support Lu Guogong! ”

As soon as the words were spoken, a herald hurried into the camp, fell to his knees, and cried out in fear: "Chief, it's not good! Li Yuanjing was a traitor, and he suddenly sent 4,000 cavalry reinforcements just now! The army under the command of Lu Guogong was killed and defeated, and more than half of them were killed and wounded. Lu Guogong is under siege and in danger! ”

Hearing this, all the generals who were triumphant just now were taken aback, their faces were as pale as earth, and they couldn't smile anymore. Although Yin Kaishan had already seen through Li Yuanjing's trick just now, he was not mentally prepared at this time, and after listening to the words of the herald, his face became extremely ugly: "Hurry up, send troops to reinforcements quickly!" ”

At this time, Li Yuanjing looked at the Tang Dynasty vanguard army, which had been wiped out for a long time, chuckled, put his hands behind his back, and walked towards the city. As he walked, he said casually: "Collect the troops!" ”

From the very beginning, the Tang Army was toyed with by Li Yuanjing in applause. At first, they used fire attack tactics to disrupt the vanguard formation, and then sent swords and axes to attract the attention of the vanguard army. These 800 people could not cause Yin Kaishan to send troops to reinforce **, and then, Li Yuanjing sent 1,000 soldiers to reinforce each other, in order to confuse Yin Kaishan and Cheng Zhijie. Then taking advantage of their unpreparedness, they sent 4,000 cavalry to attack the vanguard army with lightning speed, and there were 2,000 soldiers on the battlefield, plus 4,000 cavalry, and the number alone had overwhelmed Cheng Zhijie's vanguard army. In addition, Cheng Zhijie's vanguard army was wounded and lacked combat effectiveness, so it was simply unable to withstand the impact of the cavalry. The final result was that Li Yuanjing, at the cost of losing less than 1,000 people, killed more than 5,000 of Cheng Zhijie's vanguard army, which can be described as a complete victory.

Originally, Li Yuanjing had a numerical advantage, but the main force of the Tang Dynasty was only 20,000, and the manpower was very insufficient. Now the sudden loss of 5,000 soldiers and 8,000 war horses is simply worse for Datang.

By the time the reinforcements sent by Yin Kaishan arrived at the battlefield, Li Yuanjing's army had already withdrawn to the city, leaving only the corpses of the wild and Cheng Zhijie, who was kneeling on one knee, pounding the ground with a fist in one hand and holding a plate axe in the other, chagrined.

"King, why don't you take advantage of the victory to pursue, send a large army in the city, and eat the enemy army in one go?" A partial general, following Li Yuanjing's side, asked suspiciously.

Li Yuanjing didn't stop, and he didn't want to answer, but considering not to snub the enthusiasm of the soldiers, he could only reluctantly answer: "There is an essential difference between a surprise attack and an all-out war. Although the enemy army is less than 15,000, it is the main force of Datang after all, how can it be defeated so easily? In addition, when our army occupies various states and counties, it is necessary to keep troops to defend it, and once a full-scale war starts, in case the military aid cannot keep up, it will be us who will suffer. After all, now is not the time for a decisive battle, and this king will play a few more rounds with these so-called founding fathers. ”

After that, Li Yuanjing sighed in his heart, Wu Mou was not around, he was surrounded by people with simple minds and developed limbs, and even this kind of thing needed to be explained by himself.

Just when Li Yuanjing sighed at Wu Mou, Wu Mou had already brought more than a hundred masters, less than 100 miles away from Wei Hong, and if he was in a hurry under the starry night, he could 'rendezvous' with Wei Hong before dawn. But Wei Hong didn't know it, he was riding a horse with Cheng Chumo, watching the night view.

"Sir, those five carts of gold, silver and jewelry are all given to the saint, and you don't feel distressed at all?" Cheng Chumo asked which pot was not opened.

As soon as he mentioned this, Wei Hong felt a burst of grievance in his heart: "I feel distressed, why don't I feel distressed!" But what's the use of being distressed? Hey, forget it, don't mention it again, if you mention it again, it's not only painful, but even the flesh! ”

"Well, let's not talk about it. By the way, sir, what kind of person do you think Li Yuanjing is? "It's a long night, it's boring to travel, you have to find something to talk about, otherwise wouldn't it be too boring? (To be continued.) )
