At night, the soldiers in Jang Xuan's camp did not rest, and they concentrated on the training ground for the long-awaited night battle training.

The general army will not fight at night, as long as it is late, it will call in the gold and withdraw the troops, but the battle between the Sui army and the Goguryeo army is a war of annihilation, a war of life and death, and there are no rules.

Even at night, they will not easily withdraw their troops, and they will inevitably fight to the end until the other side collapses, so night combat training is an essential step.

On the wide training ground, two armies of more than 1,000 people each lined up in the north and south, holding ash pole wooden spears and heavy wooden knives, staring at each other murderously.

To the north is the 16th Battalion led by Zhang Xuan, while to the south is the 1st Battalion led by Yuwen Chengdu, the first battalion has 3,000 men, and tonight's battle is only a part of it.

Yuwen Chengdu crotch under the demon beast, holding the phoenix wings gilt boring in his hand, the first battalion he commanded is also the most elite team of the former army, it is the real elite of the Sui army, most of them have participated in the war with Tuyuhun, Yuwen Chengdu rose in that war.

At this time, he looked indifferently, calmly looking at Zhang Xuan, who was hundreds of steps away, and the newly rising army led by him, the war had not officially begun, they had already made two great achievements, and became the most dazzling new army in the previous army.

Zhang Xuan also silently looked at Yuwen Chengdu in the distance, he once dreamed that he and Yuwen Chengdu faced off on the battlefield, it was not long after he entered the Sui Dynasty, and when he woke up, he felt that this was an unattainable dream.

But he never imagined that in less than a year, his dream would become a reality, and at this time he was full of anticipation of fighting with Yuwen Chengdu.

On the wooden platform in the distance, Laihu'er looked at the two armies and saw that they were ready. Then he sharply ordered: "Begin!" ”

The drums on the training ground suddenly sounded, Yuwen Chengdu and Zhang Xuan gave orders at the same time, and 2,000 soldiers roared in unison and ran away from the north and south to the training ground.

In just a few moments, the two armies collided violently, and fierce battles broke out with wooden knives and spears. Despite the moonlight and the silver glow all over the ground, it was still a little difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, and the only difference between them was that the soldiers of the 16th Battalion had a feather stuck in their helmets.

Yuwen Chengdu and Zhang Xuan did not participate in the fierce battle with the soldiers, they were only responsible for commanding their own armies to fight, but they seemed to have a soul in their hearts, and they all appeared in the open space on the side, Yuwen Chengdu showed a sneer on his face, and rushed towards Zhang Xuan with a wave of phoenix wings and gilt boring. Zhang Xuan shouted loudly and urged the horse to meet the battle.

All the generals who watched the battle shook their heads, it was really a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, Yuwen Chengdu was recognized as the number one fierce general in the world, and the general could not defeat him for three rounds, and the little-known Zhang Xuan actually wanted to challenge Yuwen Chengdu, which was incredible.

Even Lai Hu'er couldn't help but smile at Zhou Fashang: "How long does Demai think Zhang Xuan can resist?" ”

Zhou Fashang raised five fingers, "Five rounds at most!" ”

"Really? I think five rounds seems like a little bit more. Three rounds is pretty much that. ”

"Then we'll see!"

Zhou Fashang knew that Zhang Xuan had stabbed to death the Goguryeo general Yuan Wuning in one round, and he still had some ability. So he thinks Jang Hyun might be able to withstand five rounds, and he looks out to the training ground expectantly.

The two war horses were getting closer and closer, and at the moment of approaching, Zhang Xuan's arms were poured into the halberd, and the halberd shook, and seven halberd heads appeared. This is the essence of the Luo family gun, which can only be achieved with slightly soft weapons, but Zhang Xuan used the hard weapon Qinglong Halberd to dance seven halberd heads, which is really rare.

Even Yuwen Chengdu is also interested, but one shot is just a small skill for him. He sneered: "You can actually use the Luo family's marksmanship, eat me a boring!" ”

He ignored the other party's seven halberds, and the two-hundred-pound giant boring swept away, slashing towards Zhang Xuan like a gust of wind, this is the truth of the simplification of the avenue, in the face of absolute power, any fancy moves are meaningless, only use strength to deal with power.

At this time, Zhang Xuan also realized that the Luo family's marksmanship was useless, and the halberd quickly changed its style, he shouted, the seven halberd heads disappeared, and the halberd pressed towards Yuwen Chengdu's phoenix wing gilt boring.

This is the most exquisite halberd scroll of the Ziyang halberd method, any weapon will be wrapped in its power, Yuwen Chengdu is no exception, his giant boring did not collide with Zhang Xuan's halberd, but the direction of the giant boring has changed, and it has become a split to the upper right.

Yuwen Chengdu's face changed greatly, and he blurted out, "Ziyang Halberd Method!" ”

Zhang Xuan sneered, "It's a bit insightful!" As soon as he retracted the power of his long halberd, he stabbed at Yuwen Chengdu's chest like lightning.

Yuwen Chengdu's contemptuous heart was suddenly retracted, the other party actually used the Ziyang halberd method of the world's three stunts, he didn't dare to underestimate it anymore, dodged and dodged Zhang Xuan's halberd assassination, the two horses were staggered, and the phoenix wings gilt boring backhand slapped Zhang Xuan's back of the head, Zhang Xuan had already expected this move, his body quickly leaned over, and the huge boring head swept over his head like a wind.

"Good time!"

Yuwen Chengdu shouted, shaking his spirit and fighting fiercely with Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan used all his strength to give full play to the Ziyang Halberd Method.

His halberd was weighted to ninety catties, but Yuwen Chengdu's phoenix wings gilt boring weighed two hundred catties, and the strength of the two was too far apart, so he could only play the halberd scroll style that was unique in the world in the Ziyang halberd method, constantly decomposing Yuwen Chengdu's power, and they fought fiercely for ten rounds in the blink of an eye.

On both sides of the training ground, everyone was dumbfounded, Zhang Xuan actually fought fiercely with the world's number one general for ten rounds, which was incredible.

Even Lai Hu'er couldn't help but sigh, he could only resist Yuwen Chengdu for five rounds, this Zhang Xuan actually fought fiercely with Yuwen Chengdu for ten rounds, so he had to sigh that the back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves, and the young fierce generals of the Great Sui were numerous, and he was already old.

Yuwen Chengdu was finally enraged, he had been out of the division for ten years, and he had never encountered a situation where he had fought fiercely with the opponent for ten rounds without his weapons touching.

At this time, Yuwen Chengdu has found Zhang Xuan's loophole, the halberd scroll is the most powerful traction technique in the world, and there is no flaw in itself, but Zhang Xuan is inexperienced, and the halberd scroll is not used perfectly, he can't pull the opponent's weapon in any direction as he wants, and Yuwen Chengdu found a way to crack it.

He shouted, "Take me again!" ”

The phoenix wings gilt boring slashed diagonally, flying like a dark cloud, and his power was extremely powerful, but his target was not Zhang Xuan. It's Zhang Xuan's war horse, if Zhang Xuan changes the direction of the boring head again, then he will be difficult to protect.

This boring angle was too tricky, and Zhang Xuan couldn't resolve it anymore, so he had to shout, gritted his teeth and waved his halberd to meet the attack. Just listen to 'When!' With a loud bang, the halberds finally collided with each other.

Zhang Xuan only felt that his arm seemed to be broken, the halberd flew backwards, his left hand took off the rod, and his right arm barely grabbed the tail of the halberd, so that the halberd was not shaken away, and the war horse was shocked to retreat more than a dozen steps, screaming and raising his front hooves high.

Jang Hyun grabbed the reins with his left hand. His body was tightly leaning on the horse's back, and he only felt that his chest and abdomen were turned upside down, and his throat was sweet, and he almost vomited a mouthful of blood.

Yuwen Chengdu was also shocked to retreat five or six steps in a row, his arms were numb for a while, and he lost consciousness for a short time, he was surprised in his heart, and the other party actually took his own boring. actually has such a strong power, which is no less than Yang Xuangan.

The two were already a dozen paces apart. Yuwen Chengdu raised the giant boring with one arm and pointed at Zhang Xuan, and asked coldly, "Do you want to continue to fight again?" ”

Zhang Xuan slowly adjusted the tightness in his chest, he already knew that he was too far away from Yuwen Chengdu, and he could succeed without being angry, he waved his hand lightly, indicating that he admitted defeat. Yuwen Chengdu took a deep look at him, turned his horse's head and ran backwards.

The night is getting deeper, and the lights in Laihu'er's big tent are still bright, and in the big tent, Laihu'er is pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back. As the commander of this attack on Goguryeo, the pressure on Laigo'er's shoulders was extremely great, and although he was nominally only a front army, in fact, the Holy Lord had already entrusted him with the heavy responsibility of capturing Pyongyang.

He only has 30,000 troops, while Goguryeo still has at least 50,000 to 60,000 troops, twice as many as himself, and Goguryeo even has a cavalry of 5,000 people.

After all, winning more with less is only a few examples, and winning more with less is normal, Laihu'er doesn't want to win by luck, he needs to make a lot of preparations to win this battle, and more importantly, he knows himself and his opponent.

At this time, Lai Hu'er felt something, and when he turned around, he saw Li Jing, a staff officer, standing at the door of the tent, "Is there anything wrong with Li joining the army?" Laihu'er asked.

Lai Hu'er bowed and saluted, "I heard that the general is preparing for a decisive battle with the Goguryeo army, I don't know when the time is set?" ”

"The decisive battle is tentatively scheduled for the day after tomorrow!"

"Then the general thinks that the Sui army has a certain degree of victory?"

Laihu'er's heart moved, he had heard Yang Su praise Li Jing's military talent, saying that he knew the art of war and was good at strategy, since Li Jing asked himself like this, he must have an idea, Laihu'er hurriedly said: "Li joins the army, please come in and speak." ”

Li Jing walked into the big tent with a smile, "Is the general willing to listen to the words of his humble position?" ”

"Join the army, though."

Li Jing saluted and said unhurriedly: "As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent and not being defeated in a hundred battles, this afternoon he carefully interrogated the captured Kwon Wenshou and interrogated some Goguryeo soldiers. ”

Laihu'er lifted his spirits, "Please say when you join the army, I am willing to listen!" ”

Li Jing spoke very slowly, saying that he had gone through careful consideration and that every detail had been scrutinized.

"Kwon Mun-shou said that the available number of troops in Pyongyang City is 53,000 people, which is the number of troops in service, but he also inquired about the inventory of armor in Pyongyang City, and it is estimated that there are as many as 80,000 to 100,000 sets, and since three years ago, Goguryeo has implemented a plan for all people to be soldiers, and all men over the age of 16 have participated in military training, so in times of crisis, they can quickly mobilize at least another 80,000 troops into battle, and our enemy will not only have 50,000 troops, but as many as 130,000."

Lai Hu'er nodded silently, he also faintly thought of this, but he didn't see it as thoroughly as Li Jing, he sighed, "Please continue to join the army." ”

Li Jing said again: "I said a word that was not very respectful, the imperial court made a series of mistakes in the military strategy of Goguryeo, first it was too important, and it used a million troops, and now it is too light on the enemy, and only 30,000 troops are used to attack Pyongyang. ”

Laihu'er smiled bitterly, "Even if there is a truce the day after tomorrow, what can we do?" The Holy Lord has clearly told me that he will not give me additional troops, so how can I defeat the other side? ”

Li Jing smiled slightly, "General don't worry, I have a plan that can at least double our troops." ”
