Luo Yi didn't like this coalition adjutant general very much, rude, stupid, the viciousness of the Douzigang bandits was fully reflected in him, he killed people like hemp, indulged soldiers to rape women in Zhuo County, committed a lot of crimes, and greatly ruined his reputation Luo Yi, Luo Yi only had to endure this breath for the sake of the two armies needing to fight together.

At this time, as soon as Gao Wentong entered the tent, he asked him in a tone of lesson why he didn't attack the Sui soldiers, almost making Luo Yi attack on the spot, he endured and endured, forcibly suppressed the annoyance in his heart, and said coldly: "The water has begun to melt, how to cross the river?" ”

Gao Wentong pouted, "Then according to the prince's will, I will wait here, wait until the ice freezes next winter, and then we will cross the river, is that so?" ”

"Presumptuous!"

Luo Yi couldn't hold back any longer, and scolded him angrily: "I am the commander of the First Army, you dare to speak to me like this?" ”

Gao Wentong was also extremely dissatisfied with Luo Yi in his heart, last month, more than a dozen of his personal soldiers went to Youzhou City to play, and saw a few large women, so they took them outside the city, but they were caught by the Youzhou army and killed in public, and the head was still hung on the city gate for two days, which made Gao Wentong extremely angry, but just playing with a few women, he dared to kill his own soldiers, and actually showed the head to the public, he thought that Luo Yi did not give himself face.

Gao Wentong snorted heavily, "I think our two armies have different ideas, and it is difficult to cooperate in the battle, I decided to go back to Beiping County first, if Luo Dashuai is dissatisfied, go directly to my eldest brother to complain!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked outside the tent, Luo Yi was dripping with hatred in his heart, he had already launched an offensive, but he wanted to split, he wanted to split him, but Luo Yi also knew that at this critical time, as soon as his army left, he would definitely be defeated.

He had to slow down his tone, "General Gao, please calm your anger, I have prepared the pontoon." I'll build a bridge tonight, and I'm going to attack the Sui army camp at night. ”

Gao Wentong stopped, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he had already pinched Luo Yi's egg. I'm not afraid that Luo Yi won't agree to his request.

"Lord, we have come all the way to help in the war, even if there is no merit, there is hard work, the brothers all say that the women of the big families in Youzhou are good, very tasteful, so let's do it! Our requirements are not high, and after the war. How about the prince send a hundred women from large families to the army? ”

Luo Yi knew that he was taking revenge for killing his own soldiers last time, and those thieves were too much last time, and they dared to rape the wives and daughters of the generals in his army, and it was difficult to convince the public if they didn't kill them.

Luo Yi sneered in his heart, first coaxed him to work hard for himself, and then said, he pretended to ponder for a moment. Nodding, "Alright! I'll promise you this time, you won't get an inch again. ”

Gao Wentong was overjoyed. Arch arched his hand and said: "That's it, I'll wait for the prince's order to attack tonight!" ”……

The night gradually fell, there was no warm sunshine during the day, the temperature at night suddenly dropped, and it became cold, Luo Yi's army was ready, led by the general Xue Wanche to lead five thousand heavy cavalry into the camp, the heavy cavalry is also called armored cavalry, all men and horses are wearing heavy armor, after years of training. War horses are the strongest Turkic horses, the cavalry are tall, brave and strong, and more importantly, the five thousand cavalry are all horses.

This is the only heavy armored cavalry of the Great Sui, built with the strength of the country, and was originally used by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty to deal with Goryeo. However, due to the fact that the mountainous terrain of Goryeo was not suitable for heavy cavalry, Yang Guang put this cavalry in Youzhou and ordered Xue Shixiong to use it to suppress the Hebei bandits, and finally fell into the hands of Luo Yi, becoming his strongest army, and it was also the capital for him to dare to confront the Sui army.

Dou Jiande attacked Youzhou three times, and returned with three defeats, that is, he was defeated in the hands of this heavy armored cavalry, and tonight, Luo Yi was ready to use this cavalry to defeat the Sui army in the northern camp.

The five thousand heavily armored cavalry did not ride on horses at this time, nor did they wear heavy armor, they could only put on their armor before they charged, and their horses could not bear such a large weight for a long time.

At the front of the team, Luo Yi was wearing a golden helmet, wearing silver armor, and holding a five-hook divine flying silver spear, and behind him was the general Xue Wanche.

Xue Wanche is the son of Xue Shixiong, the former governor of Youzhou, he and his brother Xue Wanjun were the first to be the prince Yang Zhao's thousand cattle preparation, and Yang Yuanqing had a good relationship, after Yang Zhao's death, the two brothers followed their father in the army, step by step to accumulate merit and be promoted to the tiger general, both of them have the courage of ten thousand people, and they are the most powerful generals under Luo Yi, and they can be called his right-hand man.

At present, the elder brother Xue Wanjun led an army of 10,000 to defend the town, and Xue Wanche led 5,000 heavy armored cavalry to follow Luo Yi.

"Commander Qiqi, you're ready!"

Luo Yi nodded, staring at the swarthy Sui army camp on the other side of Laishui three miles away, at this time, a cavalry galloped over, and arched his hand in front of Luo Yi and said: "Report to the prince, the brothers have already explored clearly, the ice in the upper three miles is very strong, and you can cross the river directly!" ”

"Good!"

Luo Yi was waiting for this news, and he turned back to a personal soldier and said, "Go and inform Gao Wentong and let his army follow me." ”

He waved his hand, "Let's go!" ”

The 30,000 Youzhou troops set off under the cover of night, and they marched quickly to the north, and walked to the crossing point three miles away, where scouts had already come, and found that there was a river about 100 steps long on this side that was frozen very strongly, and there was no sign of thawing, and it was completely possible to cross the river.

Behind the Youzhou army, Gao Wentong also led 20,000 troops to follow from afar, his eyes flickered, but his heart was thinking about the task given to him by his brother, this time they allied with Luo Yi to deal with the Sui soldiers, Luo Yi gave them 10,000 sets of armor as a condition, but 10,000 sets of armor is far from satisfying their appetite, they want more food, more armor, more military supplies, and the materials of the Sui army in Yi County are said to be able to equip 100,000 troops, which makes Gao Kaidao's heart pound, if you can take Yi County, Even if half of the supplies are distributed, they will quickly withdraw to Liaodong, develop in Liaodong, and one day they will come back and sweep the world.

The Youzhou army crossed the river, turned south along a forest, and stopped a mile away from the Sui army camp, the barracks were very quiet, and there were two sentry figures standing on two high guard towers, as if they had not noticed the arrival of the Youzhou army.

Luo Yi was a little weird in his heart, they could see the sentry, how could the sentry not see them, it was very likely that there was already an ambush in the Sui army camp, but Luo Yi was not afraid, there were heavy armored cavalry breaking into the camp, and he was not afraid of any ambush and arrows.

"Break in from the front of the gate, don't disperse, there will be thistles on both sides!"

Luo Yi whispered to Xue Wanche and patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go in!" ”

Xue Wanche waved his sword, "Kill!" ”

Five thousand heavy armored iron horsemen in a row began to run, they were like heavy and huge iron balls, they were very slow at first, but once they turned, it was difficult to stop.

The heavy armored iron cavalry rushed to the Sui army camp side by side, faster and faster, like a long iron dragon, Xue Wanche galloped on the side, he opened his bow and arrows, and shot at the sentry on the sentry tower, a soldier rolled down, but the sound of landing was very dull, there was no scream, and it was not like a person landing on the ground, which made Xue Wanche stunned, a soldier ran up, and suddenly shouted, "General, it's a straw man!" ”

"Not good!"

Xue Wanche was taken aback, the Sui army was already prepared, as soon as he turned around, the heavy armored iron cavalry had rushed into the Sui army camp, five thousand iron horses were like a stream of molten magma, they rushed into the Sui army camp with unstoppable force, knocked over a top camp, trampled under the horse's hooves, but unfortunately they rushed into an empty camp, and the Sui soldiers were no longer visible, Xie Yingdeng led 10,000 Sui soldiers to evacuate half an hour ago.

In a moment, Luo Yi also entered the camp surrounded by hundreds of guards, his face was gloomy, what he was most worried about really happened, the Sui army evacuated at night, the other party obviously wanted to lengthen the battle line and make it difficult for him to supply, and Yi County was mountainous, and his five thousand heavy armored cavalry could not give full play to his advantage.

At this time, Gao Wentong also rushed into the Sui army camp, he was concerned about all kinds of materials, and immediately led people to the warehouse area, he was extremely disappointed in his heart, the Sui army did not leave a single rice, and even the big tent was only pierced around, less than a hundred, and there was a large open space in the middle.

"Fuck me!" Gao Wentong was annoyed and angry, and scolded loudly.

Luo Yi glanced at him from afar, and when he saw him kicking the tent hard, he couldn't help but sneer, this idiot, what did you think the Sui army would leave behind?

"Lord Wang, we have captured a Sui soldier!" A scout stepped forward to report.

Luo Yi perked up and hurriedly ordered: "Bring him up." ”

In a moment, several scouts pushed forward a Sui soldier, his armor had been thrown away, but he was still wearing military boots and an eagle-edged iron helmet, and he 'pounced!' He fell to his knees and pleaded, "The general spares his life!" The general spares his life! ”

Luo Yi glanced at him and saw that he was very scared and trembling, so he asked, "Why don't you withdraw with the army?" ”

"General Hui, the villain is from Laishui County, his parents, wife and children are in Laishui County, and he doesn't want to withdraw to Yi County."

"Then how did you escape and not get caught?" Luo Yi continued to ask.

"The villain is just a baggage soldier, and at the end of the team, he escaped under the pretext of diarrhea."

"When did the Sui army leave?" Gao Wentong rushed over and yelled.

The soldier was frightened by Gao Wentong's ferocity, his teeth chattered, and he couldn't say a word.

Luo Yi glared at Gao Wentong dissatisfiedly, and said softly: "You tell me honestly, I won't kill you." ”

"Yes!" The soldier said in a trembling voice: "The Sui army has just left..... Less than half an hour. ”

Luo Yi nodded, the soldier was telling the truth, he felt that although the Sui army was calmly packed, they left in a hurry, obviously finding that they were going to attack, it should be half an hour at most.

Gao Wentong suddenly became excited, and said loudly: "Marshal, it has only been half an hour since the Sui army retreated, and we can at least catch up with the baggage team." ”

"No! The Sui army was good at night fighting, and it would be dangerous to pursue it at night. ”

Luo Yi rejected his request, ignored him anymore, and turned back to his own soldiers and said, "Pass my order, and the whole army will march to Laishui City!" ”

The soldiers rushed to give the order, and Luo Yi asked Gao Wentong again, "General Gao go together!" ”

Gao Wentong shook his head, glanced at the barracks and said, "This barracks is good, we will temporarily stay here tonight, please be the marshal himself!" ”

Luo Yi looked at him deeply, and immediately ordered: "The army is ready to go!" ”
